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

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

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

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'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 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.

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

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are bule,
and the dreams that you dare
to
dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
and make up
where the clouds are far
behind me
Where troubles melt
like lemon drops,
away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
bulebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds
fly beyond the rainbow
why oh why can't I?

Somewhere, over the rainbow,

Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
But I have gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you, I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams come true
When I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be overjoyed, over loved, over me
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Oh, over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone, oh
Just to find that I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams come true
When I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be overjoyed, over loved, over me
Yeah, yeah

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know?
For in romance all true love needs is a chance

And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I overjoyed, over loved, over you
Over, over, oh, love, love, love, overjoyed, oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason

Over, over, oh, love, love, love, overjoyed, oh

This is my first affair so please be kind
Handle my heart with care, oh, please be kind
This is all so grand my dreams are on parade
If you'll just understand they'll never ever fade

So tell me your love's sincere oh please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear, oh, please be kind
For if you leave me dear
I know my heart will lose its mind
If you love me, please be kind

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.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered,
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody 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?
Someday 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 half asleep? 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 s'posed to be .......
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers, and me .........
