What will you see?
What will you be? Anything you want to love is easy How will you know If I am for you? You won't know me to see me But you'll know by what I do. For I.... Will play a rhapsody Cleverly disguise it, so it's not been heard before And I.... Will sing a lullaby Let you know I'm near you through the night to keep you warm. How will you know? Where you should go? Anywhere you want to love is fast or love is slow Falling through feeling And falling through time You won't know me to see me But I'll come to you in rhyme For I.... Will play a rhapsody Cleverly disguise it, so it's not been heard before And I.... Will sing a lullaby Let you know I'm near you through the night to keep you warm. I.... Will play a rhapsody Cleverly disguise it, so it's not been heard before... And.. I.... Will sing a lullaby Let you know I'm near you through the night to keep you warm. I'll let you know I'm near you through the night to keep you warm. I.... Will play a rhapsody |

Said I got a gal named Lillian
She caught me out with Jenny Lee She wrote me a note, I'll tell you here's what she wrote She said "I'm goin' to the deep, blue sea." And I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!" I said "Wait by the water, Lillian!" I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!" 'Cause I'm goin' with you in the water I'm goin' with you in the water Said I ran down to the seashore I arrived just about three There was my Lilly, so cold and chilly Walkin' in the deep, blue sea And I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!" I said "Wait by the water, Lillian!" I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!" 'Cause I'm goin' with you in the water I'm goin' with you in the water You I know I told my Lil that I loved her And Jenny Lee was just my friend She never turned round, she walked right in and drowned And that's how the story ends And I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!" I said "Wait by the water, Lillian!" I cried "Wait by the water, Lillian!" 'Cause I'm goin' with you in the water I'm goin' with you in the water |

You're a fool, baby, you're a fool
You play the game but you change the rule I wish to God in heaven, that I could hate you but I can't It takes a fool, baby, to love a fool How many nights must I cry Wipin' the love tears from my eyes I feel you here beside me, even though it's just a dream Honey I care, don't you know that I care You're a fool, lover, you're a fool You play the game of love, but you change the rule I wish to God in heaven, that I could hate you, but I love you It takes a fool, baby, to love a fool And how many times can you try To see me with an unbiased eye? When you hold him so closely, and he calls you a nickname Honey I'm there, can't you feel it, I'm there You're a fool, lover, you're a fool You play the game but you change the rule I wish to God in heaven, that I could hate you, but, I still love you It takes a fool, baby, to love a fool |

Oh, sweet, sweet, sweet lovin' babe, how'd I ever let you go?
Miss you more as the years go rollin' by And I might still be near you, if not for one small thing I know You lied when I looked you straight in the eye But oh, you're meanin' so much Oh lover, meanin' what you're meanin' now Oh, meanin' so much to me Ask me how well, how well that I remember, nights in September Lying holding each other's lovin' charms And I might still be near you, if not for one small thing I know I found you in someone else's arms But oh, you're meanin' so much Oh lover, meanin' what you're meanin' now Oh, meanin' so much to me I know it's useless, I know it's impossible, I've tried Can't seem to drink you out of my mind No sense in lookin', no sense in comin' crawlin' on back Knowing what it is that I'd find, what I'd find... Oh night comes falling, bringing darkness again Bringing teardrops to another lonely man And I might still be near you, if not for one small thing I know When you loved me you would love me and then you ran Yes you did, now. But oh, you're meanin' so much Oh lover, meanin' what you're meanin' now Oh, meanin' so much to me |

I know you've been downhearted, you've been hurtin' on the inside
Lookin' like that sun wasn't shinin' no more Pick yourself up, smile some, and try to see the bright side All comes together as you grow Yes you know that it all comes together, it all comes together All comes together as you grow You can not trade your wisdom for the youth that you've been missin' 'Cause it'll all come together as you grow I know that you've been lonely, you could have used someone to talk to But that's just one chapter, and honey your story ain't through You're richer with your treasure with every year that's passing And everytime you think about it honey it'll pull you through Yes you know that it all comes together, it all comes together All comes together as you grow You can not trade your wisdom for the youth that you've been missin' 'Cause it'll all come together as you grow |

You know, this here's the story about a guy who thought he had it all figured out
Until one day he realized that every day of life is a brand new kick in the teeth But as he read somewhwere in a book a long time ago... "If your teeth get kicked in, replace 'em, and turn the other cheek And let that son of a bitch kick 'em back out again, And ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES!" Doin' my private paper chase, yes I'm readin' 'bout King Lear Along comes some uppity foreigner singin' "Future shock is here!" And I gotta roll with the punches Gotta roll with the punches Gotta roll with the punches else they might eat me for breakfast, too. Women are fine and women are sweet: hanks of hair and piece of bone But even President Tito's leavin' Mrs. T. at home He's gotta roll with the punches He's gotta roll with the punches Gotta roll with the punches else they might eat him for breakfast, too. You know I love the ladies, they're as juicy as can be But all I want for Christmas is a penicillin tree I gotta roll with the punches Better roll with my punches Better keep rollin' each night with my punches else I'll get eaten for breakfast, too. Rollin' ...gonna play it one time... In my years of healthy travel, had a million just like you You got hardening of the arteries and you're barely 22... You better roll with the punches Gotta roll with my punches Better keep rollin' each night with my punches, else they might eat me for breakfast, too. |

When I was a boy, I dreamed that Phillip Marlowe
He took me as his partner, took me as his friend Gave me his fedora, gave me shotgun fever Took me as his partner to the end When I was a child, I dreamed I was a jeweller With a family business that was free and clear Selling golden earrings to Mrs. Mickey Mantle Trying to be gentle while I stuck it in her ear Dream of a child, the song of a man The key and the time are at his command Dream of a child, the song of a man The key and the time are at his command When I was a boy, I dreamed I saved my sister From the Rosicrucians, for the love of God I threw myself among them, slaughtering their numbers Hit them where they least expected, in the name of God Dream of a child, the song of a man The key and the time are at his command Dream of a child, the song of a man The key and the time are at his command When I was a boy, I dreamed that Elvis Presley Was standing on my corner, kissing Brenda Lee Mama always told me true love was born in heaven She told me how my best friend could steal my love from me I love Brenda Lee... Brenda Lee loves me... |

Oh how she yearns and oh how she burns
Just to be with him Knowin' he's there and he's real Puts a gleam in her eye She how she drapes the sweet young body With the silk for him There's nothing too good for the dream lover Down from the sky Yeah, you're lookin' at a wild child The kind that every man is searchin for A lovely wild child A little girl, a lovely woman and more But with a wave of his hand And some help from a band He was off in the clouds And she was cryin' like the day she was born She was cryin' like the day she was born See how she dances, see how she prances To catch his eye Finding his gaze would be everything That glitters and more If it can happen in the movies it can happen to her And she believes it She knows it will kill her But still she keeps beggin' for more Yeah, you're lookin' at a wild child The kind that every man is searchin for A lovely wild child A little girl, a lovely woman and more But with a wave of his hand And some help from a band He was off in the clouds And she was cryin' like the day she was born She was cryin' like the day she was born... |
