Without a song
The day would never end
Without a song
The road would never bend
When things go wrong
A man ain't got a friend
Without a song
A field of corn
Would never see a plow
That field of corn
Would be deserted now
A man is born
But he's no good no how
Without a song
Without a song
I got my trouble and woe
But sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along
As long as a song
Is strong in my soul
I'll never know
What makes the rain to fall
I'll never know
What makes that grass so tall
I only know
There ain't no love at all
Without a song

Long ago, and, oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show.
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear,
but you're not really here.
It's just the radio.
Chorus:
Don't you remember you told me you love me baby?
You said you'd be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby.
I love you, I really do.
Loneliness is such a sad affair, and I can hardly wait
to be with you again.
What to say, to make you come again?
Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar.
Chorus x2

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man, the world is at your command
He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all?
Nowhere man, don't worry
Save your time, don't hurry
Save it all till somebody else lends you a hand
He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

I got rhythm, I got music
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies in green pastures
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don't mind him
You won't find him around my door
I got starlight, I got sweet dreams
I got my man, who could ask for anything more?
Who could ask for anything more?
I got rhythm, I got music
I got rhythm, who could ask for anything more?

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
Up in New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying and records playing
And dancing in the streets
Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancing
They're dancing in the street
Out in L.A., every day
They're dancing in the street
Let's call the people why, get in time
They're dancing in the street
Across the ocean too, me and you
We're dancing in the street

I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why, I wonder why?
I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes, I wonder why?
You don't need analysing
It is not so surprising
That you feel very strange but nice
Your heart goes pitter-patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rubdown with a velvet glove
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick, you're just in love
I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why, I wonder why?
You don't need analysing
It is not so surprising
That you feel very strange but nice
Your heart goes pitter-patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes, I wonder why?
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes, I wonder why?

Are we really happy with this lonely game we play?
Looking for the right words to say
Searching, but not finding understanding anyway
We're lost in this masquerade
Both afraid to say we're just too far away
From being close together from the start
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason why we carry on this way
We're lost in this masquerade
We tried to talk it over but the words got in the way
We're lost inside this lonely game we play
Thoughts of leaving disappear each time I see your eyes
And no matter how hard I try
To understand the reason why we carry on this way
We're lost in a masquerade
We're lost in a masquerade
And we're lost in a masquerade

You're my funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Un-photographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
. . .
|

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In every thing that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
. . .
|
|
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
. . .

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs, never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy and hate
Woman needs man and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
. . .

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much any more
‘Cause I don't get around much
I don't get around much
I don't get around much
I don't get around much any more
. . .

I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be
More than just friends
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, baby, when I say
I won't know sweet music
. . .

When the morning sunrise
Becomes a magic show
Before your very eyes
And all the sounds of life
Begin to harmonise
You hear a song of hope
Surround your senses
And feel the promise of
A brand new kind of world
Lose your defences
Unlock your mind
Unwind and follow me
Come let me help you see
How to find
The way to leave yesterday behind
We should be together
When we're this close
We're bound
To work it out somehow
We found a dream to share
Don't lose it now
Just let my song of love
Surround your senses
And feel the promise of
A brand new kind of world
Lose your defences
Unlock your mind
You know I love you
Come let me show you
How to find
The way to leave yesterday behind
Lose your defences
Unlock your mind
You know I love you
Come let me show you
How to find
The way to leave yesterday behind
Yesterday behind

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
(*) Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they started to sing
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Looking back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Repeat (*)
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
Repeat (*)
. . .

Magic moments
When two hearts are caring
Magic moments
Memories we've been sharing
I'll never forget the moment we kissed
The night of the hayride
I wish you'd forget that you ever heard
Me sing of the sleigh ride
. . .

Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud, sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
la, la, la, la, la
la, la, la, la, la, la
la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough

Just sing, sing a song
Just sing, sing a song
Just sing, sing a song

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder,
Some starless night
Just in case you feel you want to hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight
. . .

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
[break]
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you

It's impossible
Tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible
Ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible
And tomorrow
Should you ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul
And not regret it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible

We’ve only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we’re on our way
We’ve only begun
Before the rising sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run
And yes we’ve just begun
chorus
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talking it over, just the two of us
Working together day to day, together
And when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow
And yes, we’ve just begun
chorus
. . .
|

And, yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
. . .

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night
In the daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Oh, keep your heart for me
For some day I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
He'll ever love
I'll ever love
. . .

When I was young I'd listen to the radio, so fine, so fine

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I began to pray
You know the preacher digs the cold
He knows I'm going to stay
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell him
I could leave today
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions but only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Who said that wishes would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?
Someone thought of that and someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic
Have you been sleeping and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Some day, some way, I know we'll find it
The lovers, the dreamers and me
. . .

Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We’ve got a lifetime to share
So much to say
And as we go from day to day
I’ll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let’s take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
Let’s take a lifetime to say
I knew you well
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow for all we know

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The boy that's driving me mad is going away
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride and he don't care
He said that living with me was bringing him down, yeah
He would never be free when I was around
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride and he don't care
Don’t know why he's riding so high
He ought to do right, he ought to do right by me
For he gets to saying goodbye
He ought to do right, he ought to do right by me
I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today
The boy that's driving me mad is going away, oh
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride
He's got a ticket to ride and he don't care, don't care
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad
Think I'm gonna be sad

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do
Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light
Filing the world surrounding me
When I hold you
(*) Baby, Baby
Feels like maybe things will be all right
Baby, Baby
Your love's made me
Free as a song singin' forever
(**) Only yesterday when I was sad
And I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave
The past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only Yesterday
I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us
Share it with me
The best is about to be
So much is left for us to see
When I hold you
Repeat (*)
Repeat (**) twice
. . .

Day after day, I must face a world of strangers
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
Who will always care, you're always there
When there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face, a lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
When there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Trouble seems to up and disappear
You touch me with the love you're bringing
I can't really lose when you're near
When you're near, my love
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know
That I could learn to live without the rest
I've found the best
When there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
When there's no gettin' over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day ............................without you

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has
passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it
So I' ve made my mind up I must live my life
alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I' ve always known
I' d say goodbye to love
there are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for
Something I could live for
All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
there may come a time when I will see that I've
been wrong
But for now this is my song
And it's goodbye to love
I'll say goodbye to love
. . .

And when he smiles he makes the sun shine
He wouldn't think to make it rain
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
And when he smiles he makes me sigh
He doesn't have a point of view
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
And when he smiles he makes the sun shine
And warms the day with morning dew
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
