"Have You Met Miss Jones?"

"Have You Met Miss Jones?"



It happened
I felt it happened
I was awake
I wasn't blind
I didn't think
I felt it happened
now I believe in matter over mind.

And now you see we mustn't wait
the nearest moment that we marry is too late!

Have you met Miss Jones
someone said as we shook hands
She was just Miss Jones to me

Then I said, "Miss Jones
you're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must be free."

And all at once I lost my breath
and all at once was scared to death
and all at once I oned the earth and sky!

Now I met Miss Jones
and well keep on meeting till we die
Miss Jones and I

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"



Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

"Here's That Rainy Day"

"Here's That Rainy Day"



Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day

Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way

Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near

Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day

Funny
That rainy day is here

"Hi-Ho"

"Hi-Ho"



Hi-ho, hi-ho
At last it seems I’ve found her
Now I won’t be happy ‘til my arms are around her

Hi-ho, ho-hi
If a kiss she’d only throw me
Oh me, oh my

Her charm, her smile so sweet and dimply
I want them or I’d simply die

Hi-ho, hi-ho
Oh, there’s no one like her here on Earth below
Perhaps I’m reaching too high
Hi-ho, hi-ho

Please pardon me sir
But I’m in love with her
And if you knew her sir
Then so would you
Be in love with her too

I beg of you ma’am
Look at that honey lamb
Now that you’ve seen her ma’am
Don’t you agree
No one’s lovely as she?

She’s lovely
No one lovelier
No one lovelier
No one’s lovely as she

She’s lovely
No one lovelier
No one lovelier than she

Hi-ho, hi-ho
For me there’s none can top her
Even if you offer Venus
I wouldn’t swap her

Hi-ho, ho-hi
Will I ever be her Romeo?
Me, oh my

Her eyes, they thrill and then they mock you
My heart they’ll always occupy
Hi-ho, hi-ho
Oh, there’s no one like her here on Earth below
Perhaps I’m reaching too high
Hi-ho, hi-ho

I’ve got it
Mm, she’s got me
Haven’t me her yet
But I hope to
Hi-ho

"Home Is The Place"

"Home Is The Place"



Good luck to the boys
With rainbows to chase
In my time I’ve chased a few

Good luck to the runners
May they all win the race
But home is the place with you

Goodbye to the girls
I’ll never embrace
The dreams that won’t pursue

But here’s to the dreamers
Who can keep up the pace
I give them my space
I’m through and
Home is the place with you

"Honeysuckle Rose"
(originally by Fats Waller)

"Honeysuckle Rose"
(originally by Fats Waller)



Every honey bee fills with jealousy,
when they see you out with me.

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

When you're passin' by flowers droop and sigh,
and I know the reason why.

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar,
You just have to touch my cup.
You're my sugar.
It's sweeter when you stir it up.

When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
seems the honey fairly drips.

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar,
You just have to touch my cup.
You're my sugar.
It's sweeter when you stir it up.

When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
seems the honey fairly drips.

Goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

"How Beautiful Is Night"

"How Beautiful Is Night"



When I see the night
My heart is lost in flight
To some enchanted land beyond the blue
And oh, how beautiful is night with you

Stars awaken, rise and shine
Before my eyes
I’m in a wonderland
I never knew
And oh, how beautiful is night with you

The moon is new
And love holds me fast
And you are mine at last

We kiss and then
My heart sings again

When I see the night
My dreams will hold you tight
I know I’ll find you
When each day is through
And oh, how beautiful is night with you

"How Do You Keep The Music Playing?"
(feat. George Michael)

"How Do You Keep The Music Playing?"
(feat. George Michael)



How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone?
And never lose your ways
How do you not run out of new things to say?
And since we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear his name
I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever..
Forever...

If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

I know the way I feel for you
It's now or never!
(How do you keep the music playing?)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(How do you make it last)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
Forever...
(How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from fading too fast)
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows
With any luck, then I suppose
The music never ends

"How Do You Say Auf Wiedersehen?"

"How Do You Say Auf Wiedersehen?"



How do you say auf wiedersehn
To things you'll never see again?
The Wilhelmstrasse in the rain
The day we ran to catch the train
That puffed along the river Seine
Remember Paris
And best of all the Pyrennes
Who could forget such memories
That crazy trip how typical of us
To miss the bus the plane too
How do you say auf wiedersehn to these?

The wild times, the small things
That popular waltz of the day
It ended as all things
But when does the music go away?
Say au revoir but not good bye
I've said it till I want to cry
Perhaps the French could tell us what to do
I wish I knew ah liebschen
How do I say auf wiedersehn to you?

"How Insensitive"

"How Insensitive"



How Insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
"Why," she must have asked,
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say?
What can you say when a love affair is over?

Now she's gone away
And I'm alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
"How," she must have asked,
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do?
What can one do when a love affair is over?
