No, I can't for-get this evening 결코 이 밤을 잊을 수 없을것 같아요 Or your face as you were leaving 그리고 떠날때 당신 표정도요 But I guess that's just the way the story goes. 그러나 결국은 다 이렇게 되는 건가 봐요 You always smile, 당신은 언제나 웃고 있지만, but in your eyes your sorrow shows 당신의 눈 속엔 슬픔이 넘치고 있어요 yes, it shows 그래요, 슬픔이 넘치고 있지요 No, I can't for-get tomorrow 오, 나는 내일을 잊지 못할 거예요 when I think of all my sorrow 내 모든 슬픔 생각하게 될 내일을.. When had you there,but then I let you go 그대 내 곁에 두었을 땐, 그러나 떠나 보내야 하지요 And now it's only fair that I should let you know what you should know 이제 그대에게 해야 할 말을 하는 것이 좋겠어요 그대가 꼭 알아야 할 말을요 I can't live if living is without you 난 살 수 없어요 당신 없이 살아야 한다면 I can't live I can't give anymore 더이상 살 수 없어요 더 이상 줄 수도 없어요 I can't live if living is without you 난 살 수 없어요 당신 없이 살아야 한다면 I can't live I can't give anymore 더이상 살 수 없어요 더 이상 줄 것도 없어요 |

Some people say man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood Muscle and blood and skin and bone A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong You load sixteen tons and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal And the store-boss said the "Well-a bless my soul" You load sixteen tons and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain Fightin' and trouble are my middle name I was raised in the cane-brake by an old mama lion Cain't no a high-tone woman make me walk the line You load sixteen tons and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store If you see me comin', better step aside A lot of men didn't and a lot of men died One fist of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't git ya, then the left one will You load sixteen tons and what do you get Another day older and deeper in debt Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store |

I've go every disease known to man
From the African mumps to the dishpan hands I lost every race I ever ran I never even got a start But there's one thing I do know I'll tell you right now There's too many wrinkles in this young man's brow And I'm getting kind of tired, tired of pulling that plow Oh what am I gonna do? Chorus So you think you got troubles The more you cry the worse it gets So you think you got troubles Well brother you ain't heard nothin' yet You know my rusty old car sounds like a tin can My wife ran off with another man And I strained a muscle in my crap shootin' hand And my income tax is due Well I lost all my money in a neighborhood game My brother's after me to change my name And to top it all off, I think I'm going lame Oh, what am I gonna do Chorus My Doctor tells me not to smoke He says Harry, drink nothing stronger than a coke You know I'm not even supposed to listen to a racial joke For I'd laugh and strain my heart But there's one thing I do know I'll tell you right now There's too many wrinkles in this young man's brow And I'm gettin' kind of tired, tired of pullin' that plow Oh what am I gonna do?

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stopping, staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off of the northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Wah, wah wah-wah wah Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah Wahhh I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off of the northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Everybody's talking at me Can't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind I won't let you leave my love behind No, I won't let you leave Wah, wah, wah I won't let you leave my love behind |

Reaching for a butterfly
Old soldiers never die And the gun against their shoulder Well, it gets a little older And just like that old shoulder It just gets put away Well, I'm an old, forgotten soldier Since they put an end to war And I like to tell my story But you don't wanna hear about the war I'm an old, forgotten campaign hero Left without a cause Because, they took away my wars I'm an old, forgotten railroad A broken, lonely ammo-train And my rusty ammunition Has been left out in the rain I'm an old, forgotten part-time doughboy I tried to save the world The world was round We fired around Heard all around the world I'm an old, forgotten campaign hero Left without a cause Because, they took away my wars I'm an old, forgotten railroad A broken, lonely ammo-train And my rusty ammunition Has been left out in the rain |

Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your windowpane Or struggled with a bit of rain Or danced about the weathervane Or sat along a moving train And wondered where the train has been Or on a fence with bits of crap Around its bottom Blown there by a windbeam Who searches for the moonbeam Who was last seen Looking at the tracks Of the careless windbeam Or moving to the tracks Of the tireless freight train And lighting up the sides Of the weathervane And the bits of rain And the windowpane And the eyes of those Who think they saw what happened Have you ever watched a moonbeam As it slid across your windowpane Or struggled with a bit of rain Or danced about the weather vane Or sat along a moving train And wonder where the train has been? Looking at the tracks Of the careless windbeam Or moving to the tracks Of the tireless freight train And lighting up the sides Of the weathervane And the bits of rain And the windowpane And the eyes of those Who think they saw what happened |

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes, it shows No, I can't forget tomorrow When I think of all my sorrow When I had you there, but then I let you go And now it's only fair that I should let you know What you should know I can't live, if living is without you I can't live, I can't give anymore I can't live, if living is without you I can't give, I can't give anymore Well, I can't forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes, it shows I can't live, if living is without you I can't live, I can't give anymore I can't live, if living is without you I can't live, I can't give anymore If living is without you |

The lamp that lights the way
Is a light from yesterday. The drum which leads the way Is a sound from yesterday. The road is filled with shadows Of a million, living leaves. Darkness all around us And not a friend in sight. We sang a song together To help us through the night. The song was sung with spirit But soft, and like a choir. And as the others sang along, Our voices lifted higher. We sang until we reached the bridge We crossed, then saw the wire. But by the time we stopped the song, The enemy had opened fire. Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more Ain't gonna sing that song no more. Just don't pay to sing no more Especially when you're in a war. A war. Now, this time through, We want everybody to listen to the punchline All right. All right. All right! All right! The song was sung with spirit But soft and like a choir. But by the time we stopped the song, The enemy had opened fire. Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more. Ain't gonna sing that song no more. Just don't pay to sing no more. Especially when you're in a war. |

I believe, yes I believe More I cannot say, what more can I say? On a river of sound Thru the mirror go round, round I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel) Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold The spirit dance was unfolding Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé |

Well in 1941 a happy father had a son
And by 1944 the father walked right out the door And in '45 the mom and son were still alive But who could tell in '46 if the two were to survive Well the years were passing quickly But not fast enough for him So he closed his eyes through '55 And he opened them up again When he looked around he saw a clown And the clown seemed very gay And he set that night to join that circus clown and run away {Scat solo} Well he followed every railroad track And every highway sign And he had a girl in each new town And the towns he left behind And the open road Was the only road he knew But the color of his dreams Were slowly turning into blue Then he met a girl the kind of girl He'd wanted all his life She was soft and kind and good to him So he took her for his wife And they got a house not far from town And in a little while The girl had seen the doctor And she came home with a smile Now in 1961 a happy father had a son And by 1964 the father walked right out the door And in '65 the mom and son were still around But what will happen to the boy When the circus comes to town? {Scat solo} |

How can I run away from darkness
At the close of day When all I think about is you? Not knowing where I'm going What am I to do When all I think about is you? I'll stand an hour knocking Knowing that my heart is mocking me She doesn't live here anymore I don't know why I bother What else can I do When all I think about is you? Dream maker, heartbreaker How can dreams come true When all I dream about is you? I'll stand an hour knocking Knowing that my heart is mocking me She doesn't live here anymore How can I run away from darkness At the close of day When all I think about is you? Not knowing where I'm going What am I to do When all I think about is you? I don't know why I bother What else can I do When all I think about is you? |

Clear air and sparkling city
Crisp cloud lines crystal pretty Wind sweeps the streets and swirl by lovers Strolling through their own world Basking in each others glow While I wander lonely I hear the church bells ringing Mixed choirs of Sunday singing I wander down the sidewalk Wondering wondering what will spring be Whether spring will comfort me While I wander lonely Soon I'll find a change Watching hours pass I walk away the day Hiding from the room where my memory keeps Replaying scenes Of shattered dreams Cars pass reflective windows Night falls and still the wind blows I turn to home and think tomorrow That's the day I'll meet her That's the day my love will turn While I wander lonely. |

But keep your clothes on and don’t forget me Keep your memories But keep your powder dry, too In the summer, by the poolside While the fireflies are all around you I'll miss you when I’m lonely I’ll miss the alimony, too Don’t forget me, don’t forget me Make it easy only just for a little while You know I think about you Let me know you think about me, too And when we’re older and full of cancer It doesn’t matter now, come on get happy ‘Cause nothing lasts forever But I will always love you Don’t forget me, please don’t forget me Make it easy only just for a little while You know I think about you Let me know you think about me, too |

Down by the sea
That's where we wanted to be With nothing to do Down by the sea Don't tell me that is what You wanted to do We sold the house, the car, the TV, the dog Hopin' we were on our way Down by the sea Don't tell me that is what You wanted to do We had the children in number John, Phillip, Susan Alice, Carol, Teddy, Bobby, Jenny I think we had one too many But I hope I'm not out of line Now it's forty years after the laughs at the wedding And I'm dreading retirement, what would I do? The children are married And now the big question is "Was it all worth it?" And who buries who? You bury me or I bury you? So, down by the seaside From now until we're parted Each day brings us back where we started Closer to seeing each other, much closer And closer to seeing dream come true Don't tell me that isn't what you wanted to do |

That made it easier for me The boys never fought over her company That made it easy for me Love so bright could only blind us How could reason hope to find us Hiding in the Milky Way Without a star to shine the way?

My Good Old Desk- by Harry Nilsson
Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah My old desk doesn't arabesque, in the morning when I first arrive. It's a pleasure to see it's waiting there for me to keep my hopes alive. Such a comfort to know it's got no place to go, it's always there. It's the one thing I've got, a huge success, my Good Old Desk. My old desk never needs a rest, and I've never once heard it cry. I've never seen it tease, it's always there to please me from nine to five. Such a comfort to know, it's dependable and slow, but it's always there. It's the one friend I've got, a giant of all times, my Good Old Desk. Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah My old desk isn't picturesque, but it's happy as a desk can be. We never say a word, but it's perfectly alright with me. For when my heart's on the floor, I just open the drawer of my favorite guest. And what do I see? But a picture of me working at my Good Old Desk. Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah |

Many rivers to cross
But I just can't seem to find, my way over Wandering, I am lost, as I travel along The white cliffs of Dover Many rivers to cross And it's only my will that keeps me alive Well I've been licked, washed up for years And I merely survived because of my pride And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's such a drag to be on your own My woman left me and she didn't say why Well I guess I have to try Sweet thing Sweet thing And this loneliness just won't leave me alone You know it's such a drag to be on your own My woman left me but she didn't say why So I guess I have to try, try Many, many rivers to cross Many rivers to cross But just where to begin I'm praying for time There have been times I found myself sitting in limbo Alone, alone, for my lifetime Many rivers to cross But I just can't seem to find, my way over Wandering, I am lost as I travel along The white cliffs of Dover I've got too many rivers to cross... |

Waiting around for the first breath of spring
Nobody else seems to care She waits patiently for the knowledge that she will Have so much to give to someone Waiting around for the knock at the door Gentleman callers beware Hoping to see all the flowers and candy he's offered her In every dream she's ever had Mmmmmmm She don't mind all the waiting around for someone to come along Knows she's about to be found before too long Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba She don't mind all the waiting around for someone to come along Knows she's about to be found before too long Waiting around for the first breath of spring, She never noticed the snow on the ground. Spring never made it; Somebody delayed it For her again Like the year before And the year before And the year before And the year before And the year before |

She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorway
Wondering how she ever got that way She fights her tears away, then prays for no more sorrow Will tomorrow be the same as yesterday She tasted from the tree of life which lead to hunger Now she wonders how she'll ever carry on She thinks about the life she knew when she was younger Heaven help her now those days are long since gone She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping next to no one And it's no fun when there's no one's there to see She looks down at her feet, "My God, they sure look dirty 7:30, time to be or not to be" She cries out, "Won't somebody listen to my story Mournin' glories aren't supposed to happen today She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorway Wondering how she ever got that way |

When he was young he sang in the band and the fans all looked the same
And the fans he had were younger than he and they loved to scream his name They'd leave at the end of the third show, go home to talk of the fun Well isn't it nice the parents would say, well isn't nice you've got someone Someone to idolize, he must look twice his size I think it's great, you're going through a phase And I'm awfully glad it will all be over in a couple of days Well the calendar changed and the pages fell off, but the singer remained the same And he never grew tired of singing his song, and his fans still called his name They'd leave at the end of the second show, go home to talk of the fun For most of the fans were married by then, so they had to be in by one I'm awfully glad the husbands would say, I'm awfully glad you got someone Someone I realize, who used to look twice his size I think it's great you still remember his name And I'll bet if he knew you were there for the show He'd be awfully glad you came "The time has come," the Walrus said, "to speak of other things" Like a fallen star who works in a bar where Yesterday is king The fans will stay for an hour or so, they still remember his fame But the time has come the Walrus said, to call your fans by name |

When we got married back in 1944
We’d board that Silverliner below Baltimore Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon Nobody cares about the railroads anymore We’d tip the porter for a place of our own Then send a postcard to your mommy and dad back back home Mmm, it did something to you when you’d hear that “All aboard” Nobody cares about the railroads anymore Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee We had a daughter and you oughtta see her now She has a boyfriend who looks just like my gal Sal And when they’re married they won’t need us anymore They’ll board an aeroplane and fly away from Baltimore Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee When we got married back in 1944 We’d board that Silverliner below Baltimore Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon Nobody cares about the railroads anymore La la la la-la la-la-la la la bye-bye La la la la-la la-la-la la la don’t cry Mmm, it did something to you when you’d hear that “All aboard” Nobody cares about the railroads anymore |
