"I've Got The World On A String"

"I've Got The World On A String"

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm in love.

I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger.
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.

I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.

I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! Man, this is the life.
Hey, now! I'm so in love.

"I've Gotta Be Me"

"I've Gotta Be Me"

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up this dream
Of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I gotta be me
The dream that I see makes me what I am

That far-away prize, a world of success
Is waiting for me if I heed the call
I won't settle down, won't settle for less
As long as there's a chance that I can have it all

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I've gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I've gotta be me

I'll go it alone, that's how it must be
I can't be right for somebody else
If I'm not right for me
I gotta be free, I just gotta be free
Daring to try, to do it or die
I gotta be me

"I've Never Seen"

"I've Never Seen"

I’ve never seen you wake at dawn
And brush a dream from your eyes
I’ve never seen you part your lips
To take a kiss by surprise

And I’ve never seen you bow your head in prayer
Or jump for joy and let your laughter fill the air
And yet I love you, sight unseen
For my heart has seen what I’ve never seen

And yet I love you, sight unseen
For my heart has seen what I’ve never seen
For my heart has seen what I’ve never seen

"I, Yes Me, That's Who!"

"I, Yes Me, That's Who!"

I, for one, do not intend to ever think about her
I, for one, will let it en
Life will go on without her
I, for one, have better things to do
I, yes me, that’s who

How she used to disagree with everything I told her
How she used to look at me each time I had to scold her
Still I think I changed her point of view
I, yes me, that’s who

Then comes an end, an end to spring
An end to fall
To all and everything, everything

I, for one, will face each day as though I never met her
I, for one, will find a way
Some quick way to forget her
I, for one, won’t miss her my life through
I, yes me, that’s who

"If I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight)"

"If I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight)"

If I could be with you, I’d love you strong
If I could be with you, I’d love you long
I want you to know I wouldn’t go
Until I told you honey why I love you so

If I could be with you one hour tonight
If I was free to do the things I might
I’m telling you true, I’d be anything but blue
If I could be with you

"If I Could Go Back"

"If I Could Go Back"

How do I know this is part of my real life?
If there's no pain can I be sure I feel life?
And would I go back if I knew how to go back?
What good is time when you're sure of tomorrow?
Can there be joy where there has been no sorrow?
And would I go back if I knew how to go back?
Will I find there is really such a thing as peace of mind?
And what I thought was living was really just confusion
The chance to live forever is really no illusion
And this all can be mine
Why can't I make myself believe it?
Can I accept what I see around me?
Have I found Shangri-La or has it found me?
And would I go back if I knew how to go back?
Will I find there is really such a thing as peace of mind?
And what I thought was living was truly just confusion
The chance to live forever is really no illusion
And this all can be mine
Why can't I make myself believe it?

"If I Ruled The World"
(feat. Celine Dion)

"If I Ruled The World"
(feat. Celine Dion)

If I ruled the world,
Every day would be the first day of spring,
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

If I ruled the world,
Every man would be as free as a bird,
Every voice would be a voice to be heard,
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.

My world would be a beautiful place,
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.
My world would wear a smile on its face,
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams.

If I ruled the world,
Every man would say the world was his friend,
There'd be happiness that no man coud end,
No my friend, not if I ruled the world.

Every head would be held up high,
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky,
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world

"Ill Wind"

"Ill Wind"

Blow,
Ill wind blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
No good

Go
Ill wind go away
Skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood
And that's no good

You're only misleading
The sunshine I'm needing
Ain't that a shame
It's so hard to keep up
With troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere
When love's to blame

So
Ill wind blow away
Let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
No good
No good

You're only misleading
The sunshine I'm needing
Ain't that a shame
It's so hard to keep up
With troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere
When love's to blame

So
Ill wind go away
Let me rest today
You're blowing me no good
No good

Ill wind

"In The Middle Of An Island"

"In The Middle Of An Island"

In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I beneath the moonlight
With just the monkeys and the palm trees

In the middle of an island
When it's time to do some kissin'
Plenty time for lotsa lovin'
And walkin' barefoot in the sand

Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darlin', how I wish we could be
(I wish that we could be)

In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I forever, darlin'
In a paradise for two
(In a paradise for two)

[Instrumental Interlude]

Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darlin', how I wish we could be
(I wish that we could be)

In the middle of an island
In the middle of the ocean
You and I forever, darlin'
In a paradise for two
(In the middle of the ocean)
(On an island kissin' you)
