Jane Monheit

Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar"

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada, oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I would still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet

Oh, I am a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil and I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember the time you told me, you said, "Love is touching souls"
Well surely you touched mine 'cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
So bitter, bitter and sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I would still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet

I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"

Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
So bitter and so sweet
And I could drink a case of you, my darling
And I would still be on my feet, I would still be on my feet

Intro:

A primeira vez que eu te encontrei, alimentei a ilusao de serfeliz
Eu era triste, sorri peguei no pinho e cantei
Tantos versos eu fiz em meu peito guardei
Um dia voce partiu, meu pinho emudeceu e a minha voz nagargan- ta morreu

Procuro esquecer a dor, nao sou capaz, meu violao naotoca mais
Eu vivo triste a meditar, nao canto mais, meu consolo

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
With a singable, happy feeling
What a wonderful way to start

To face the world every day
With a deedle-um-dee-dulay
Little melody that is making
The world, world go by

When you walk down the street
With a happy-go-lucky beat
You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
What a wonderful way to start the day

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
With a singable, happy feeling
What a wonderful way to start

To face the world every day
With a deedle-um-dee-dulay
Little melody that is making
The worrying world go by

When you walk down the street
With a happy-go-lucky beat
You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
What a wonderful way to start the day

What a wonderful way to start the day

Sing a song of sad young men, glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again, kiss your dreams goodbye
All the sad young men sitting in the bars
Knowing neon lights missing all the stars

All the sad young men drifting through the town
Drinking up the night, trying not to drown
All the sad young men singing in the cold
Trying to forget that they are growing old
All the sad young men choking on their words
Trying to be brave, running from the truth

Autumn turns the leaves to gold, slowly dies the heart
Sad young men are growing old that's the cruelest part
All the sad young men seek a certain smile
Someone they can hold for a little while
Tired little girl does the best she can
Trying to be gay for her sad young man

While the grimy moon watches from up above
All the sad young men play of making love
Misbegotten moon shine for sad young men
May your gentle light guide them home tonight
All the sad young men

I used to dream that I'd discover
The perfect lover someday
I knew I'd recognize him
If ever he came 'round my way
I always used to fancy then
He'd be one of those god-like kind of men
With a giant brain and a noble head
Like the heroes bold in the books I read

But along came Bill
Who's not the type at all
You'ld meet him on the street and never notice him
His form and face
His manly grace
Are not the kind that you would find in a statue

And I can't explain
It's surely not his brain that makes me thrill
I love him because he's wonderful
Because he's just my Bill

[Instrumental break]

He's just my Bill
An ordinary boy
He hasn't got a thing that I can brag about
And yet to be
Upon his knee
So comfy and roomy, seems natural to me

And I can't explain
It's surely not his brain that makes me thrill
I love him because he's...

I don't know...

Because he's just my Bill

Heaven, I'm in heaven
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain
and reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to go out fishing
in a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through

To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my hear beats so that I can't hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek.
When we're out together dancinging cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven
and the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain
and reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to go out fishing
in a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much as
dancing cheek to cheek

Dance with me
I want my arms about you
The charms about you
will carry me through


To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my hear beats so that I can‘t hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek.
When we're out together When we're out together When we're out together danceing danceing danceing cheek to cheek ~~~~~~~~~~

No more blues, I`m goin` back home
No, no more blues
I promise no more to roam
Home is where the heart is
The funny part is
My heart`s been right there all along
No more tears and no more sighs
And no more fears I`ll say no more good byes
If travel beckons me I swear I`m gonna refuse
I`m gonna settle down An` there`ll be no more blues
Every day while I am far away
My thoughts turn homeward
Forever homeward
I travelled `round the world In search of happiness
But all my happiness, I found was in my home town
No more blues, I`m goin` back home
No, no more blues I`m through with all my wanderin`
Now I`ll settle down and live my life
And build a home and find a man When we settle down
There`ll be no more blues Nothing but happiness
When we settle down There`ll be no more blues
instrumental break
Every day while I am far away
My thoughts turn homeward
Forever homeward
I travelled `round the world In search of happiness
But all my happiness, I found was in my home town
No more blues, I`m goin` back home
No, no more blues I`m through with all my wanderin`
Now I`ll settle down and live my life
And build a home and find a man When we settle down
There`ll be no more blues
When we settle down
There`ll be no more blues
instrumental till end

Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What- though love is old
What- though song is old
Through them we can be young

Hear this heart of mine
Make yours part of mine
Dear one, tell me that we're one

Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

Smooth road, clear day
Why am I the only onetraveling this way
How strange the road to love should be so easy
Can there be a detour ahead

Wake up, slow down
Before you crash and break your heart gullable clown
You fool you're heading in the wrong direction
Can't you see the detour ahead

The farther you travel
The harder to unravel
The web he spins around you
Turn back while there's time
Can't you see the dangerous signs
Sot shoulders surround you

Smooth road clear night
Oh lucky me that suddenly I saw the light
I'm heading back away from all this trouble
Smooth road, smooth road
No detour ahead

Do I love you, do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you, do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?

Would I miss you, would I
If you ever should go away?
If she sun should desert the day,
What would life be?

Will I leave you never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forever more?

Do I love you, do I?
Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do?
Don't I show you I do,
Just as you love me?

Would I miss you, would I
If you ever should go away?
If she sun should desert the day,
What would life be?

Will I leave you never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forever more?

Do I love you, do I?
Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do?
Don't I show you I do,
Just as you love me?

I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks
I have words that do not come from children's books
There's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do
But everything I've got belongs to you

I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist
And the perfect wrist to give your neck a twist
Hammerlock holds, I've mastered a few
But everything I've got belongs to you

Share for share, share alike
You get struck each time I strike
Me for you, you for me
I'll give you plenty of nothing

I'm not yours for better but for worse
And I've learned to give the well-known witches curse
I've a terrible tongue and a temper for two
But everything I got belongs to you

Off to bed we will creep
Then we'll sleep and sleep and sleep
Till the little birdies peep
I'll give you plenty of nothing

I'm not yours for better but for worse
And I've learned to give the well-known witches curse
I've a terrible tongue and a temper for two
But everything I've got, oh, it's not a lot
Everything I've got belongs to you

Get out of town before it's too late, my love
Get out of town, be good to me please
Why wish me harm? Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm the birds off the trees?

Just disappear, I care for you much too much
And when you are near close to me, dear we touch too much
The times when we meet is so bittersweet
That darling it's getting me down so on your mark, get set, get out of town

Get out of town before it's too late, my love
Get out of town, be good to me please
Why wish me harm? Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm the birds off the trees?

Just disappear, I care for you much too much
And when you're near close to me, dear we touch too much
The times when we meet is so bittersweet that
Darling, it's getting me down so on your mark, get set, get out of town
Get out of town, get out of town

We were married on a rainy day
The sky was yellow and the grass was green
We signed the papers and drove away
I do it for your love

The rooms were musty and the pipes were old
All that winter we shared a cold
And drank all the orange juice that we could hold
I do it for your love

Found a rug in an old junk shop
And I brought it home to you
But on the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue

The sting of reason, the splash of tears
The northern and southern hemispheres
Love emerges and it disappears
I do it for your love, I do it for your love

Found a rug in an old junk shop
And I brought it home to you
But on the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue

The sting of reason, the splash of tears
The northern and southern hemispheres
Love emerges and it disappears
I do it for your love, I do it for your love
I do it for your love

I should care, I should go around weeping
I should care, I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough, I sleep well
′cept for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep

So I should care, I should let it upset me
I should care but it just doesn′t get me
Maybe I won′t find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do



I should care but it just doesn′t get me
Maybe I won′t find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do

And I do

I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, this year, with you My heart won't let my feet do things they should do You know what?, you're lovely You know what?, so lovely But, oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle 'specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos and that's why I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance, So if I hold you in arms I won't dance When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle 'specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos and that's why I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance, So if I hold you in arms I won't dance -

I'll be around,
No matter how you treat me now.
I'll be around,
From now on...

You're latest love,
Can never last.
And when it's past,
I'll be around,
When she's gone.

Goodbye again!
And if you meet a love like mine,
Just now and then
Drop a line,
To say you're feeling fine.

And when
Things go wrong,
Perhaps you'll see,
You're meant for me.

So I'll be around,
When she's gone.

Goodbye again,
And if you meet a love like mine,
Just now and then,
Drop a line,
To say you're feeling fine.

And when
Things go wrongs,
Perhaps you'll say,
You're meant for me.

So, I'll be around,
When she's gone...

In this world of ordinary people, extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of overrated pleasures, of underrated treasures
I'm so glad there is you

I live to love, I'll love to live with you beside me
This role so new I'll muddle through with you to guide me

In this world where very many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever I'm glad there is you

I live to love, I'll love to live with you beside me
This role so new I'll muddle through with you to guide me

In this world where very many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever I'm glad there is you

I'm through with love I'll never fall again
Said adieu, to love, don't ever call again
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love

I've locked my heart, I'll keep my feelings there
I have stopped my heart, with icy frigid air
And I need to care for no one
And so I'm through with love

Why did you lead me to think you could care
You didn't need me, for you had your share
Of slaves around you, to hand you and swear
With deep emotion, devotion to you

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the things that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love

Why did you lead me, to think you could care
You didn't need me, for you had your share
Of slaves around you, to hand you and swear
With deep emotion, devotion to you

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the things that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love

I'm through, I'm through,
Baby cuz I can't have you
I'm through with love

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you
The words will never show
The you I've come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me to

And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving spinning
Slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through

Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

In the still of the nightAs I gaze out of my windowAt the moon in its flightMy thoughts all stray, stray to youIn the still of the nightWhile the world lies in slumberOh the times without numberWhen I say to youDo you love meJust like I love youAre you my life to beThat dream come trueOr will this dream of mineWill it fade way out of sightJust like that moon growing dimWay out on the rim of the hillIn the still of the night Do you love meJust like I love youAre you my life to beThat dream come trueOr will this dream of mineWill it fade way out of sightJust like that moon growing dimWay out on the rim of the hillIn the still of the night

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling, when I say to you

Do you love me
As I love you?
Are you my life to be,
My dream come true?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight?

Like the moon growing dim
On the rim of a hill
In the chill, still of the night

In the still of the night
Of the night

The weather is frightening
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day

The change in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day
And everything's okay

Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were headed on your way
Now you've got to remain

Just as you were goin'
Leavin' me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke
And oh, what a break for me

I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in a storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter-patter
'Cause it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in a storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter-patter
'Cause it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

Lo-lo-long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

Like a ghost that dances from the tip of a lit cigarette
I know what romance is, but it hasn't happened yet
Watch it floating up to heaven only knows
Disappearing before you get too close

It's only smoke
You might say a flame is burning
Only smoke
But my heart is more discerning
Only smoke...

Eyes are hypnotizing when they hold you within their embrace
Words are mesmerizing even when they've got nothing to say

The game is charming in an empty kind of way
What's the harm in asking me to play?

It's only smoke
You might say a flame is burning
Only smoke
But my heart is more discerning
I keep dreaming of a fire, but when I wake up to the cold
It's only smoke

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same

Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Oh, I do love you

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

You've got this look I can't describe
You make me feel like I'm alive
When everything else is a fade
Without a doubt you're on my side

Heaven has been away too long
Can't find the words to write this song
Oh, your love

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

I have come to understand
The way it is, it's not a secret anymore
'Cause we've been through that before
From tonight I know that you're the only one
I've been confused and in the dark, now I understand

I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
I wonder why it is

I won't let my guard down
For anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands

Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
And try to find a sunny side of life
And try to find the sunny side of life

I've had bad dreams too many times.
To think that they don't mean much any more.
Fine times have gone and left my sad home.
Friends who once cared just walked out my door.

Love has no pride, when I call out your name.
Love has no pride, when there's no one left to blame.
I'd give anything to see you again.

I've been alone too many nights.
To think that you could come back again.
But I've heard you talk, 'She's crazy to stay.'
But this love hurts me so, I don't care what you say.

Love has no pride, when I call out your name.
Love has no pride, when there's no one left to blame.
I'd give anything to see you again.

bridge:

If I could buy your love, I'd truly try, my friend.
And if I could pray, my prayer would never end.
But if you want me to beg, I'll fall down on my knees.
Asking for you to come back.
I'd be pleading for you to come back.
Beggin’ for you to come back to me.

Love has no pride, when I call out your name.
Love has no pride, when there's no one but myself to blame.
I'd give anything to see you again.

Yes, I'd give anything to see you again.

love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonley than happy
With somebody else

You might find the night time
The right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting
With somebody else

There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue
I want you love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else

What a day
Fortune smiled and came my way
Bringing love, I never thought I'd see
I'm so lucky to be me

What a night
Suddenly you came in sight
Looking just the way I'd hoped you'd be
I'm so lucky to be me

I am simply thunderstruck
At this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never dreamed you'd want me too

I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no other girl I'd rather be
I'm so lucky to be me

I use to think it might be fun to be
Anyone else but me
I thought it would be a pleasant surprise
To see life through someone else's eyes

But now that I've found you
I've changed my point of view
And no I wouldn't give a dime to be
Anyone else but me

I am simply thunderstruck
At this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never dreamed you'd want me too

I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no other girl I'd rather be
I could laugh out loud
I'm so lucky to be me

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
'Cause they all give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss

His lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
'Cause this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fail and fall apart
It's love this time
It's love my foolish heart

Never let me go
Love me much too much
If you let me go
Life will loseits touch
What woul I be without you?
There's no place for me without you

Never let me go
I'd be so lost if you went away
Thered be a thousand hours in a day without you
I know

Because of one caress my world was overturned
At the very start
All my bridges burned by my flming heart
You'd never leave me would you?
You couldn't hurt me could you?

Never let me go
Never let me go

Once I Walked in the Sun

You told me I was the one

Who made this life so it is Worth the sorrow


You said you felt the same

You reached out and whispered my name

Promising me tomorrow


All you left me is a song

I sing it now that you've pone

At least love in the songs lasts forever

Music only survives in the melody we're alive


Feeling it all together

Living inside a song



When we made love

What a perfect world we made together

When we made love

How I wished that life went on and on


Once I Walked in the Sun

Once I Walked in the Sun

I feel the light until my life is done

Lovers dance by the sea

And they're always you and me

And music soft as the night falls around us

Hope you're watching the stars

And the moonlight falls whrere you are

One time the music found us

One time we made a song
