I CAN'T TALK TO
YOU
(B. Lind)I can bring tears to the eyes of the rain
I can fly free
through the skies of my brain
I can sing songs to the ears of the
wind
Laugh at the dizzy green world while it spins
I walk through the
morning and cry like the dew
'Cause I can't talk to you
I can walk
miles down a rain dampened road
My feelings expand till my nerve ends
explode
Melodies swing from the birds in the tree
I can't help but feel
that they're singing to me
My sorrow drops down the the soles of my
shoes
"Cause I can't talk to you
My dreams in the night funnel up
toward the moon
My carnival soul is a bright red balloon
My words rush
like rivers and flow to my head
But they'll dry on the banks and they'll
never be said
The dry river bed makes me know that it's true
'Cause I
can't talk to you
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU
BABY
(Van McCoy)I know how quickly love can slip away
Yes, I know how
love can die, that's why I say
I'm gonna try with all my heart
To keep you
happy so we'll never part because
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't
wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
No, no, no - no, no,
no
I know how quickly hearts can lose their way
All along the road to
love, when led astray
And that is why I'm gonna give
You all my love ev'ry
day that I live because
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you
baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
No, no, no - no, no, no
Now that
you've taught me the thrill of your kiss
Now that you've taught me to love
you like this
I don't wanna lose you baby
I don't wanna lose you baby
I
don't wanna lose you baby
No, no, no - no, no, no
I HAVE DREAMED
(Hammerstein/Rodgers)I
have dreamed that your arms are lovely
I ahve dreamed what a joy tyou'll
be
I have dreamed every word you'll whisper
When you're close, so close to
me
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the
view
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What
it's like to be loved by you
I will love being loved by you
In these
dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be
loved by you
I will love being loved by you
I LOVE MY LOVE
(John Barry)
I love my love with an "L" that stands for longing
An "L" that once stood for loneliness now stands for lovers lane
And the lake we came to often
And the light through the tress of the moon on the lake and the laughter
In the long long hours that my love is left all alone to sing its song in
I love my love with an "L" that stands for longing
I love my love with an "O" for overpowering
An "O" that once stood for out of bounds now is the overture
Of romantic times and places
For our love seems to be like a tree growing in an oasis
And the sun breaks through and the trees will bloom, the blossoms all start flowering
I love my love with an "O" for overpowering
I love my love with a "V" for very dearly
A "V" that once stood for all in vain now stands for valentine
In a world that's vastly sweeter
For her kiss verifies all the joy in her eyes when I meet her
Life begins anew, it's a differwent view not a vision seen unclearly
I love my love with a "V" for very dearly
I love my love with an "E" for every minute
An "E" that once stood for emptiness now stands for everywhere
That we've ever been together
And the eager embrace that's eternally ours and forever
For a romance will make your life stand still from the moment you begin it
I love my love with an "E" for every minute
I love my love with an "L" for longing, overpowering, very dearly, "E" for every minute of the day
And my love loves me in exactly the same sort of way
I WON'T CRY
(James
William Guercio)
I won't cry, no no no. I won't cry
If you're
gonna go go now
Then you've gotta know now
It's goodbye
I won't cry, no no no. I won't cry
Babe, you
can't deceive me
I know you're gonna leave me
That is why
When people tell me I am lonely
I could never
say I loved you
I could never say I loved you
I won't cry, no no no, I won't cry
There'll
be no tears of sorrow
I'll find someone tomorrow
That is why
When people tell me I am lonely
I could never
say I loved you
I could never say I loved only you
IF I FELL
(John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'Cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands
If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start that you
Would love me more than her
If I trust in you, oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too, oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
'Cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
If I fell in love with you
IF I HAD A HAMMER
(Leo Hays/Pete Seegar)
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
Well I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
IF I HAD MY WAY
(traditional)
You read about Sampson you read about his birth
He was the strongest man who ever lived on earth
One day this Sampson was walking alone
He looked down on the ground and spied an old jaw bone
He picked up that jaw bone swung it round his head
And when he got through movin' ten thousand men was dead
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down
Well samson and the lion got into attack
Sampson he crawled up on the lion's back
Well you read about Sampson killed lion with his paw
Sampson got his hands around that lions jaw
And he rammed that beast till he was dead
The bees made honey in the lions head
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down
Delilah was a woman she was tall and fair
She had lovely looks, god knows, and coal black hair
One day she climbed up by Sampson's knee
Tell me where you strength lies, if you please
She talked so fine, she talked so fair
Sampson told Delilah cut off my hair
Cut off my hair, and my strength will be like a natural man
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down
If I had my way
If I had my way
If I had my way in this wicked world
I would tear this building down
IF I LOVED YOU
(Rodgers/Hammerstein)
If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I want you
To know
If I loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles
They'd go
Longing to tell you
But afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances
Pass me by
Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I loved you so
IF SHE WAS MINE
(Goldsboro/Buie)If she
was mine
I wouldn't run around
All over town
Like all those other
guys
If she was mine
If she was mine
I'd always treat her
good
The way I should
I'd never tell her lies
If she was
mine
Those big blue eyes you see are not for cryin'
You shouldn't
treat her bad the way you do
'Cause you're gonna lose her love if you keep
lyin'
I know it's true, 'cause she once loved me too
If she was
mine
The way she used to be
I'd make her see
That I've grown up
inside
If she was mine
IF YOU NEED SOMEBODY
(Wayne Irwin)
If you need somebody to love
Baby look at me, yeah
If you need somebody to love
You can count on me
I'll be there right by your side
Just wait and see yeah
Try to feel the way I feel
You can count on me
I dont want a love
That'll die
I don't need a love
That's a lie
If you need somebody to love
Baby look at me, yeah
Try to feel the way I feel
You can count on me
I dont want a love
That'll die
I don't need a love
That's a lie
If you need somebody to love
Baby look at me, yeah
Try to feel the way I feel
You can count on me
IF YOU'VE GOT A
HEART
(Goldsboro)I'd like to know if you can cry
I'd like to see a tear
in your eye
I think you enjoy tearing me apart
I'd like to know if you've
got a heart
True love won't change, so I am told
But one day you're
warm, the next day you're cold
I'm tired of you tearing me apart
I'd like
to know if you've got a heart
I think that you're using me
Till you
find someone new
But if you wait too long
You'll have to find me
too
Make up your mind, then let me know
Tell me you're mine or leave
me alone
I'm tired of you tearing me apart
I'd like to know if you've got
a heart
I'LL GET AROUND TO IT (when and if I
can)
(James William Guercio)
She said I didn't care about the things that
people say
That I would have to show everyone I was her man
Then so
long, don't cry when I'm gone
"Cause I'll get around to it when and if
I can
Why should I obey every wish she has each day?
So I'll just let her know this better stop or I will go
Then so long,
don't cry when I'm gone
"Cause I'll get around to it when and if I can
Stay with me and let me see
If I can do a
whole lot
To try to change your line of thought
Perhaps I will but maybe
not
Well then so long, don't cry when I'm gone
"Cause I'll get
around to it when and if I can
I'll get around to it when and if I can
I'M IN
LOVE AGAIN
(Stuart/Clyde)Please don't ask me why
Please don't ask me
when
I only know that I
Can't help myself
'Cause I'm in love
again
Believe me when I say
I'll love you till the end
It's not
just for a day
Can't help myself
'Cause I'm in love again
Never
mind the other girls I left behind
One look at you and now I find
I can't
live without you
Can't you see
I'm more that just a friend
You're
the girl for me
Can't help myself
'Cause I'm in love
again
IMAGINATION
(Jeremy
Clyde)
Look out when you go upstairs
It always knows
when you are there
Always there behind your back
Has no name and it's
dressed in black
You know it's incredibly tall
You know that
it's more than a feeling
It lives where the wallpaper's peeling
In the
hall
Imagination, that's all
Don't let on that you're scared
You're safe
when you're under the covers
But that doesn't help when your mother's
Downstairs
Imagination, my dear, imagination
I lay in bed the other night
Dreamed I saw
wild geese in flight
Flapped my arms with all my might
But somehow could
not follow
Return to the source of your dreams
Return to
the Teddy Bear clover
You may well live it over again
In your
imagination
The geese, they were so snowy white
Speckled
red in the morning light
If I practice all the night
Then I shall fly
tomorrow
Tomorrow when I fly away
Far above the clouds
I'll play
I'll be back at break of day
My head upon my pillow
Look out when you go upstairs
It always knows
when you are there
Always there behind your back
Has no name and it's
dressed in black
I'VE SEEN THE SIGNS
(Jeremy Clyde/Hugo Williams)
When I walked up the stairs
Your party was well under way
And everybody stopped dancing
As if I had something to say
Well I never felt much
Like a part of that crowd anyway
I've seen the signs
I've seen the signs - they're all around me
Do you think that I'm blind - they're all around me
And they tell me you're no longer mine
Well, you say that it's all right
You act as if nothing has changed
And I'm not even sure
If anyone's taken my place
But I know that it's over
Each time I look at your face
I've seen the signs
I've seen the signs - they're all around me
Do you think that I'm blind - they're all around me
And they tell me you're no longer mine
When your car pulled away
The people stopped talking to stare
And you looked back
And you waved
But you didn't see me standing there
I could tell that you weren't coming back
And I just didn't care
I've seen the signs
I've seen the signs - they're all around me
Do you think that I'm blind - they're all around me
And they tell me you're no longer mine
LAST NIGHT
(Jeremy Clyde)
Last night, I told you many things
Last
night, it'd hard remembering
I think I said that I loved you child
And
at the time, it did seem wild
I know that I was high
Last night, I was
out of my mind
Last night, don't think me unkind
It's just that you were
by my side
If I remember right, I think I cried
You know that I was high
Forget all the things I said
This morning
'wish that was dead
Put down the phone, go back to bed
Forget it
Last night, I give you my word
That last
night, whatever you heard
Was just a man who was very tired
You were
just a face that I admired
You know that I was high
Last night will be
the first and
Last night, oh, oh, yeah,
Think it over and then you'll
will see
Tonight will be the first and last for me
LEMON TREE
(Holt)When I just a
lad of ten, my father said to me
Come here and take a lesson from the lovely
lemon tree
Don't put your faith in love my boy, my father said to me
I
fear you'll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree
Lemon tree, very
pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is
impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower is
sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
One day
beneath the lemon tree, my love and I did lie
She was so sweet that when she
smiled, the stars rose in the sky
We passed that summer lost in love beneath
the lemon tree
The music of her laughter hid my father's words from
me
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit
of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon
flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to
eat
One day she left without a word, she took away the sun
And in the
dark she left behind, I knew what she had done
She left me for another, a
common tale but true
A sadder man but wiser now, I sing these words to
you
Lemon tree, very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the
fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat
Lemon tree, very pretty and the
lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to
eat
LIKE I LOVE YOU
TODAY
(Chad Stuart/Russell Alquist)
You've heard a lot of
stories about me
But don't believe the things that people say
I'll be
always true, I'll be loving you
Like I love you today
I've got a
reputation all my own
But don't believe I'll ever go away
Listen to me do,
I'll be loving you
Like I love you today
I've got kisses by the
million
And I've got some more
I've got kisses by the million
Who, who
do you think they're for?
After all is said and all is done
I'll be
yours for ever and a day
You know that it's for sure, I'll love you more and
more
Like I love you today
LITTLE DOES SHE
KNOW
(Chad Stuart/Russell Alquist)
Little does she
know how much I love her
Little does she care when I'm walking by
Little
does she know, but I'm gonna show her
I could be the apple of her
eye
Little does she see when I've been crying
And the many times that
I've passed her door
Little does she know , but I'll keep on trying
To
make her see it's me she's looking for
And ev'rywhere that she goes you
can be sure that I
Am gonna be there too
That girl has gotta see how much
she means to me
And that my love is true
Little does she hear the
things I'm saying
I tell all my friends that she's oh so fine
Little does
she know, but I'll go on praying
Some day soon I'm gonna make her
mine
LOVE IS STRANGE
(Baker/Smith/Robinson)
Love
Love is strange
Many people
Take it for a game
People
Don't understand
They think lovin'
Is beautiful and grand
Baby
Oh my baby
Oh my baby
You're the one
Love
Love is strange
Many people
Take it for a game
Baby
Oh my baby
Oh my baby
You're the one
MANNERS MAKETH MAN
(Jeremy Clyde)
When I walked in that cafe
You turned and looked my way
You knew that you were being rude
To point and to stare
So why should I smile
When you put me on trial
And your daughter wants an autograph
And you don't like my hair
Perhaps you resent
A life that was spent
In hating an enemy
That you've never seen
You believed them when they said
There's a red beneath your bed
Am I a living symbol of your youth
That might have been?
Does it become clear
As you see me sitting here
So well behaved
And not like you expect?
And now do you see
That you were once like me?
But you missed out on a lot of things
By being too correct
You gave a loud guffaw
As I walked in the door
And you loudly said, "Hey look at that kid,
Will ya look at that kid, will ya?"
Then remembering your girl
You said, "Hey kid, sign for Merle"
Did you notice I was eating
And you didn't have the manners to say please
MISTER TAMBOURINE
MAN
(Bob Dylan)
Hey Mister tambourine man, play a
song for me
I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey
Mister tambourine man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll
come following you
Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling
ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to
grip
And my toes too numb to step
Waiting only for my boot heels to go
wanderin"
I'm ready to go anywhere
I'm ready for to fade
Until my
own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go
wanderin'
Hey Mister tambourine man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm going to
Hey Mister tambourine man, play a song
for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following
you
MORNING
(Jeremy Clyde)
The sun was bright, the winds were clean in the
morning
My days are night and you're a dream in the morning
Since you
said goodbye, I cry in the morning, but it's evening
All day long now you
are gone
Since you're leaving me
Light is gone and birds fly home in the morning
My days are dark and I'm alone in the morning
Since you said goodbye, I
cry in the morning, but it's evening
All day long now you are gone
Since
you're leaving me
Still I wake and reach out in the night
I
dare not look for fear I might
Find you're no longer there
Find the
morning glare far too bright
Do you miss me in the morning like I miss you?
Do you, do you, do you, do you?
'Til I'm with you once again in the morning
I
will try to sleep again in the morning
People wonder why I cry in the
morning
All day long now you are gone
Since you're leaving
me
MY COLORING
BOOK
(Kander/Ebb)I've a most unusual coloring book
The
kind you never see
Crayons ready? Very well, begin to color me
These
are the eyes that watched her as she walked away
Color them grey
This is
the heart that thought she would always be true
Color it blue
These are
the arms that held her and touched her
And lost her somehow
Color them
empty now
This is the tie I wore until he came between
Color it
green
This is the room I sleep in and walk in and weep in
Hide in,
that nobody sees
Color it lonely please
This is the girl, the one I
depended upon
Color her gone
MY HOW THE TIME GOES BY
(Alquist/Stuart)
Each time I leave you it's like a lifetime
Love is the reason why
But when I'm here to hold you
My how the times goes by
I dont remember what time the clock said
Don't even want to try
You say it's past your bedtime
My how the time goes by
I know I'm gonna hate it leaving you
Where did the hours fly
I really don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh my, oh my
Kiss me again girl, kiss me and then girl
Kiss me a last goodbye
Wish I could stay forever
My how the time goes by
I know I'm gonna hate it leaving you
Where did the hours fly
I really don't know what I'm gonna do
Oh my, oh my
Kiss me again girl, kiss me and then girl
Kiss me a last goodbye
Wish I could stay forever
My how the time goes by
Wish I could stay forever
My how the time goes
My how the time goes
My how the time goes by
