Lyrics by: Oscar Hammerstein II
Music by: Jerome Kern Time and again I've longed for adventure Something to make my heart beat the faster What did I long for? I never really knew Finding your love I've found my adventure Touching your hand My heart beats the faster All that I want in all of this world is you You are the promised kiss of springtime That makes the lonely winter seem long You are the breathless hush of evening That trembles on the brink of a lovely song You are the angel glow that lights a star The dearest things I know are what you are Some day my happy arms will hold you And some day I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are Are mine You are the angel glow that lights a star The dearest things I know are what you are Some day my happy arms will hold you And some day I'll know that moment divine When all the things you are Are mine All the things you are Are mine |

Lyrics by: Howard Dietz
Music by: Arthur Schwartz Alone together Beyond the crowd Above the world We're not too proud To cling together We're strong As long as we're together Alone together The blinding rain The starless night We're not in vain For we're together And what is there to fear Together Our love is as deep as the sea Our love is as great as a love can be And we can weather The great unknown If we're alone together Our love is as deep as the sea Our love is as great as a love can be And we can weather The great unknown If we're alone together Together As long as you're close to me Our love is as deep as a love can be As long as you're close to me Our love is as great as a love can be Alone together |

We can never know about the days to come
but we think about them anyway. And I wonder if I'm really with you now or just chasing after some finer day Anticipation, anticipation is making me late is keeping me waiting And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you and how right your arms feel around me. But I rehearsed those words just late last night when I was thinking about how right tonight might be. Anticipation, Anticipation is making me late is keeping me waiting And tomorrow we might not be together I'm no prophet, i don't know nature's ways. So I'll try and see into your eyes right now and stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days. |

There's a new kind of dancing
that's gonna be the rage You just leave yourself behind Like an actor on a stage Cop a different pose >From the pose you're in Shine a different attitude >From underneath your skin Attitude dancing Strut around the floor in a different attitide Attitude dancing Any attitude is the proper attitude Attitude dancing Don't be afraid to change your attitude Attitude dancing Free up your spirit with a new attitude It don't even matter If you stretch or shake And it don't really matter What moves your body makes And it don't really matter What steps you choose to do Only one thing matters: That's your attitude Your attitude, attitude dancing Attitude dancing Strut around the floor in a different attitide Attitude dancing Learn to move in another attitude Attitude dancing Find the groove in a new attitude Attitude dancing Don't be afraid of a new attitude It don't really matter What steps you choose to do Only one thing matters: Is your attitude Your attitude, attitude dancing Strut around the floor in a new attitude Do the locomotion in a new attitude Do the mashed potato in a new attitude Do the hully gully in a new attitude Find a role you like Capture it and freeze Then turn it around A hundred and eighty degrees Or if you're at a loss Observe some natural dude And turn into a mirror of his attitude Attitude, attitude, attitude Dancing |

We jumped into a river on the moon But the water was too cold We tried to buy the morning star But it was already sold I wanted to make it big with you But my plans must have been to bold TOO And it's back down to earth again Back in my car and gone Back on the road Back on the road alone You were my summer angel You're eyes how they shone Just last night we were talking about How much our love had grown I wanted to prove how good it could be But my plans will have to be postponed 'Cause it's back down to earth again Back in my car and gone Back on the road Back on the road alone |

Better not tell her, that I was your lover Better not make her jealous of me Better convince her there was nothing between us I'm not those initials in your diary But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Better not tell her why you love Spanish dancing Don't bother to say that it's hot in the summer in Madrid Let it all go now, Like smoke from a candle Like the trace of a song that you hear in the wind But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Leave out the tears and the laughter She won't need to know That I cried when you left That I think of you still But if you slip and my name comes up Don't deny that you knew me Just leave out the white nights The moon in your window The break in your whisper The promises after Leave out the tears and the laughter She won't need to know That I'd die for your love That I still...love...you |

The blue of blue
Is mostly grey Ain't no silver line No brighter day Last of the coming up Didn't come my way Looks like I'm down here to stay Down to stay So kick me, I won't feel a thing My senses have all been run And there's nothing left of the used to be but the weeping that's just begun That sour taste too late But now I duck my head And no cradle rocks this empty bed If crying's not good for me Then I guess I'm doing wrong So I sing this crying song Cry along You packed it in too soon You lose me but not your nerve Well I guess I know it's what I deserve Crazy to think that I could keep you on reserve And so the curtain falls Curtain falls |

I sigh for you For you dear only Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you body and soul I spend my days in longing And wonder why It's me you're wronging I tell you I mean it I'm all for you body and soul I can't believe it It's hard to conceive it That you'd turn away romance Are you pretending It looks like the ending Unless you'd give me one more chance To prove dear My life a wreck you're making You know I'm yours just for the taking I'm gladly surrender Myself to you - Body and Soul |

I'm home again in my old narrow bed Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end The low beam room with the window looking out On the soft summer garden Where the boys grew in the trees here I grew guilty And no one was at fault Frightened by the power in every innocent thought And the silent understanding passing down >From daughter to daughter Let the boys grow in the trees Do you go to them or do you let them come to you Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude Deny yourself and hope someone will see And live like a flower While the boys grew in the trees last night I slept in sheets the colour of fire Tonight I lie alone again and curse my own desires Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze And watch by the window Where the boys grew in the trees |

Mine are both swell little fellas Here are some clippings of me and Brad At a charity ball and a White House sup IA?'ve perfected my smile for the camera Chin is up I miss you all so much If only I could cross the river But something me holding us back A way of life thatA?'s too familiar Like the lines are to the railroad Lines are to the railroad If only we could cross the river We couldnA?'t get a jump-start on life The whispers across the Hudson Grow louder in our ears Louder in our ears If only we could cross the river But something is holding us back A way of life thatA?'s too familiar Like the lines are to the railroad Lines are to the railroad Railroad track |

At night (IN BED) I heard God whisper lullabyes While Daddy next door whistled whiskey tunes And sometimes when I wanted, they would harmonize There was nothing those two couldn't do Embrace me you child, you're a child of mine And I'm leaving everything I am to you Go chase the wild and night time streets sang Daddy And God sang, Pray the devil doesn't get to you I thought together they must sing the moon away I thought that they must know each other well For the magic that they made, when they played Wasn't lost between their Heaven and their Hell Then one night Daddy died and went to Heaven And God came down to earth and slipped away I pretended not to (KNOW) I'd been abandoned But no-one sang the night into the day And later night time songs came back again But the singers don't compare with those I knew And I never figured out where God and Daddy went But there was nothing those two couldn't do |

Got on in New Haven Last car on the train. Put my hat on the seat, Wipe the tears from my eyes. I watched my life go by, Like a movie in my brain. Scenes unreeling; In a sceneless chain On the window, and a silver screen of rain! And the opening title scroll, and the score comes in and under. And I'm in the starring role, in a world of love-struck wonder; It's a tale full of promise, about two crazy kids; Falling in love, but in flashback. And then the music, that gorgeous music; And I wake up, Rattling down the railroad track. He could be sweet, But I stayed on my guard. Just how good a liar can a decent man be? I always played my hand Like I didn't have the cards. Cause he held them all So I could never see. Yes, he played me for a fool, and I agreed. And the closing credits roll, And the waves come in like thunder. Cause the hero's lost control, And I made a fatal blunder. Just another sad story; Two star-crossed kids, Racing headlong up a cul-de-sac. And then that music, That mournful music. And the train's disappearing Down that railroad track. And the long, slow dissolve, As we fade to black. |

Let's make love for old times sake.
Let's set right an old mistake. Let's invite our hearts to break. It's right tonight, but just for old time's sake. Remember you as Mars, and me as Venus. Strange to see the grey in your hair. And now to feel a peace so deep between us, And to realize that we still care. Let's make love for old times sake. Let's set right an old mistake. Let's invite our hearts to break. It's right tonight, but just for old time's sake. I used to think we would wind up together, Our destinies always entwined. Oh, but your heart kept changing like the weather, And you wound up leaving me behind. Let's make love for old times sake. Let's set right an old mistake. Let's invite our hearts to break. It's right tonight, but just for old time's sake. Let's make love for old times sake. Let's set right an old mistake. Let's invite our hearts to break.

No half time, no half a man's attention Give me all the earth and sky And at the same time Add a new dimension Half the truth is of no use Give it all, give it all to me I can stand it, I am strong that way Give me all night Give me the full moon And if I can't take the whole of you Give it to me anyway Give me all night 'Till the last star fades And if you can' t take my heart and soul Take it from me anyway Don't give me fountains, I need waterfalls And, when I cry, my tears will fill an ocean The pain of love, I'll accept it all As long as you'll join me in that emotion Half of lovin' is no fun Give it all, give it all to me I can stand it, I am strong that way (Repeat Chorus) Don't leave me guessing alone Don't walk me half the way home You can do that tomorrow Just give me, give me all night (Repeat Chorus) |

The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom Now when that twilight steals I know how the lady in the harbor feels When I want rain, I get sunny weather I'm just as blue, blue as the sky Since love has gone, I can't get myself together Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy I've got to get a new alibi I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?" Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops Moving on a stream of dreams My little memories, those precious memories Remind me of our crazy schemes Then somebody says, just forget about her But I gave that treatment a try Strangely enough, I got along without her Then one day she passed me right by - oh well I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry |

There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone Like an echo in the wind leaves, unreconciled - Waiting to be picked up and bounced down again on Listeners ears There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone And you know who I am Though I never leave my name or number I'm locked inside of you so it doesn't matter There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone And you know who I am Though I never leave my name or number I'm locked inside of you so it doesn't matter There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone And I can't sleep easy 'Cause I'm afraid of dreaming And then the memory of the dream There's always someone haunting someone Haunting someone Haunting someone |

His friends are more than fond of Robin
He doesn't need to compliment them And always as he leaves he leaves them Feeling proud just to know him When Robin goes on holiday There's no-one livin' in our lane Oh yes, folks still live in our lane But they're not like Robin Robin, I've never told you But I'll be yours until we're old Please learn to call me in your dreams The way I'm lookin' at you is just as it seems He's talked about before he gets there Though he can never understand it And I would like to be his alone But I'm shy and can't demand it But when Robin gives his love to others There's no-one living in my heart Oh yes, I keep others in my heart But they're not like Robin |

And though I know you Still have the heart of that small boy Well, you lend it out far too much And no one woman lovin' you Can ever feel that she's been really touched Then you turn on the radio And sing with the singer in the band Think kind of sadly to yourself This isn't exactly what you had planned But you're a legend in your own time A hero in the footlights Playin' tunes to fit your rhyme But a legend's only a lonely boy When he goes home alone Well a legend's only a lonely boy When he goes home alone |

Dear mother the struggle is over now
And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river... In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt 'Cause you're already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there's a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into... I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river... I'll never leave, always just a dream away A star that's always watching Never turn away We'll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I'm right beside you I'll never turn away |

Music by: Glenn Miller I stand at your gate And the song that I sing is of moonlight I stand and I wait For the touch of your hand in the June night The roses are sighing A moonlight serenade The stars are aglow And tonight how their light sets me dreaming My love, do you know That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming? I bring you and sing you A moonlight serenade Let us stray till break of day In love's valley of dreams Just you and I A summer sky A heavenly breeze kissin' the trees |

you're my funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine, You make me smile with my heart You're looks are laughable, unphotographable Yet you're my favourite work of art Is your figure less than Greek, Is your mouth a little weak When you open it to speak are you smart But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine, stay Each day is Valentine's Day |

My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by No month of may, no twinkling stars No hide away, no softly guitars My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true My romance doesn't need a thing but you My romance doesn't need a thing but you |

Now a fish kinda likes the water And that's just where he wants to be And a monkey kinda digs bananas So he lives in the top of a tree But my eyes are made for darkness So the nightime is right for me 'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long Most folks they like the daytime 'Cause they like to see the shining sun They're up in the mornin' Off and a runnin' till they're too tired for havin' fun But when the sun goes down And the bright lights shine My daytime has just begun 'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long I'm a nightowl honey, sleep all day long Won't you turn out them bright lights baby They're just about to drive me blind Oh won't you draw then curtains for me papa Watch and you'll see my love light shine Now there are two sides to this great big world And one of them is always night If you can take care of business in the sunshine baby I guess you're gonna be alright But don't come looking for me to lend you a hand My eyes just can't stand the light 'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long 'Cause I'm a night owl honey, sleep all day long |

I came from Alabama
Wid my banjo on my knee, I'm g'wan to Louisiana My true love for to see, It rain'd all night the day I left, The weather it was dry, The sun so hot I frose to death; Susanna, don't you cry. Chorus: Oh! Susanna, Oh! don't you cry for me, I've come from Alabama, wid my banjo on my knee. I jumped aboard de telegraph, And trabbelled down de ribber, De Lectrie fluid magnified, And killed five hundred Nigger De bulgin' bust, de horse run off, I really thought I'd die; I shut my eyes to hold my breath, Susanna, don't you cry. Chorus: I had a dream de odder night When ebery ting was still; I thought I saw Susanna, A coming down de hill. The buckwheat cake war in her mouth, The tear was in her eye, Says I'm coming from de South, Susanna, don't you cry. Chorus: I soon will be in New Orleans, And den I'll look all round, And when I find Susanna, I' fall upon the ground. But if I do not find her, Dis darkie 'I surely die, And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry. |

She rides in the front seat...
She's my older sister. She knows her power over me. She goes to bed an hour later than I do When she turns the lights out What does she think about? And what does she do in the daylight that makes her so great? Oh, but to be... Oh, but to be Oh, but to be I'd like to be... My older sister... She flies through the back door. She's my older sister. She throws French phrases 'round the room. She has ice skates and legs that fit right in. She's wicked to all the beaming dreamers who later Boast of an evening by her fiery side. Oh but to be... I'd like to be Please let me be Oh let me be... My older sister... And in her black gymnastic tights She runs into some elastic nights Sophisticated sister sings for the soldiers of the soccer team. Their silver ideas and sororities They tinker with love and their Model T's Oh Lord... Won't you let me be her for just one day? She turns everybody's heads While I wear her last year's threads With patches and stitches and a turned up hem. Oh but to be... Oh but to be I'd like to be just once to be... My older sister... |

Some flecks of white, but mostly brown Purple surprises riding in on a nerve Begins to excite you before it settles down It's after the knives and the sutures and needles I'm left with an arrow that points at my heart I call it the seat of my sentimental sorrow Gone seems to be one of the sum of my parts And the night is cold As the coldest nights are There's a wise woman She comes from an evening star She says: Look for the signs You won't have to look far Lead with your spirit and follow Follow your scar A man I knew once said he wanted to see me I said I'd been sick but was on the mend I told him a few of the overall details He said: That's too bad And he's never called me again What a gift in disguise that poor little puppy So scared of misfortune and always on guard A big man will love you Even more when you're hurtin' And a really big man Loves a really good scar Cause the dawn breaks And it's breaking your heart There's a wise woman She sits at the end of the bar She says: Look for the signs You won't have to look far Lead with your spirit and follow Follow your scar A grey day in February Some flecks of white, but mostly brown The world has tilted but The world has expanded And the world has turned My world upside down Cause the night is warm and all full of stars There's a wise woman She's moved right into my heart She says: Look for the signs You won't have to look far Lead with your spirit and follow Follow Follow your scar English translation of Gaelic: Run with the red deer And sing with the wind The magic lasts And meaning will follow The scar is God given As a sign for your life Strength from your ancestors And through your own mouth Strength from memory Like a tree on the wind Show me your scar And I will make it better |

from Carly Simon - Into White (2007)
Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine. On the side of a hill in the deep forest green. Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown. Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain Sleeps unaware of the clarion call. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt: Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; Without no seams nor needle work, Then she'll be a true love of mine. On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves. Washes the grave with silvery tears. A soldier cleans and polishes a gun. Sleeps unaware of the clarion call. Tell her to find me an acre of land: Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; Between the salt water and the sea strand, Then she'll be a true love of mine. War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions. General order their soldiers to kill. And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten. Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather: Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; And gather it all in a bunch of heather, Then she'll be a true love of mine. |
