Perry Como

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, who knows
Who knows, who knows

So hold this moment fast, hold it fast
And live and love as hard as you know how, you know how
And make this moment last, moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now

Now not some forgotten yesterday
Now tomorrow is too far away

So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, who knows
Who knows, who knows

Now
(This is the moment we should take)
Not some forgotten yesterday
(Yesterday is just a faded memory)
Now
(Don't let this moment go to waste)
Tomorrow is too far away
(Too far, too far away)

So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, who knows
Who knows, who knows

So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now, is now, is now

Bless the beasts and the children,
For in this world they have no voice,
They have no choice.
Bless the beasts and the children,
For the world can never be,
The world they see.

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them;
Give them love, let it shine all around them.
Bless the beasts and the children;
Give them shelter from a storm;
Keep them safe;
Keep them warm.

Oh it's a sin to catch a butterfly,
So I won't ever try to keep you in a jar!
I'll just let you flip and flow and ¡®round,
I'll never tie you down ¡®cause that's the way you are!

Butterfly, I'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please fly home to me!

All the snow has melted from the ground,
When you first came around and held me it was spring!
April showers kept you here with me,
Was it your love for me or water on your wings?



Butterfly, I'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please make love to me!

It's a sin to catch a butterfly,
So I'll just say good-bye and watch you fly away!
But should you feel by the winter's chill,
Come to my window sill I'll never make you stay!

Butterfly, I'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please come home to me!

Do you remember me,
As I remember you?
I know, many years have passed,
Yet I still cant forget the love we shared.
Do you ever regret the day,
You turned and walked away?
Leaving a dream behind,
One I never could find again.
Life went on without you,
I willed it from my mind!
But still the memory lingers in my heart,
Of how we parted.
Do you remember why,
You had to say good-bye?
Do you every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!
Do you remember me,
Holding you tenderly?
Do you, every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!

I'm dreaming of Hawaii,
Where perfume fills the air.
And lovely gentle breezes,
Come and take away your every care.

The beauty of Hawaii,
Is waiting just for you.
Let's fly there on a rainbow,
And let all our wildest dreams come true.

Palm trees are swayin'
Ukuleles are playin'
Your heart will keep sayin'
I've found a new home!

The trade winds seem to say,
We hope you'll stay,
It's here you'll find that longed for peace of mind . . .

There's romance in Hawaii,
It's heaven by the sea.
I'm dreaming of Hawaii,
It's a paradise for you and me!

Let's fly there on a rainbow,
And may all our wildest dreams come true.

Palm trees are swayin'
Ukuleles are playin'
Your heart will keep sayin'
I've found a new home!

The trade winds seem to say,
We hope you'll stay . . .
And it's here you'll find
that longed for peace of mind . . .

There's romance in Hawaii,
It's heaven by the sea.
I'm dreaming of Hawaii,
It's a paradise for you and me!

I'd love to spend my whole life through,
Makin' love to you!
It's just the nicest thing i do,
Makin' love to you!

Each time we're face to face,
Music fills the air!
And then when we embrace,
I hear violins, the song begins!

I never dreamed that you could be,
Makin' love to me!
That dream is now reality,
You are here with me!
Each night the miracle of rainbows come in view,
Because i'm makin' love to you!

I never dreamed that you could be,
Makin' love to me!
That dream is now reality,
'cause you are here with me!

Each night the miracle of rainbows come in view,
Because i'm makin' love to you!

I took one look at you,
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk, my
Lips could move an' talk
And then my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all,
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still!

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all,
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still!

Sing along with me,
Sing a happy song!
I would guarantee.
That you can't go wrong!

You will be surprised,
At the way you'll feel,
All your cares and woes will be a hazy memory!
If you'll just agree,
Sing along with me!

Don't be too quick,
To say you can't sing a lick,
There's a trick to it all!
Make believe that you're takin' a shower,
And sing it out loud,
Sing to the crowd,


You'll be feelin' ten feet tall!

Sing along with me ( sing along with me )
Sing a happy tune ( sing a happy tune )
Let the butterfly ( let the butterfly )
Out of your cocoon! ( out of your cocoon )
You can finally be ( you can finally be )
Who you wanta be ( who you wanta be )
What you got to lose?
Forget your blues,
Now you're breakin' free ( now you're breakin' free )
Here's the recipe! ( here's the recipe )
Just sing along with me! ( la la, la la la . . . )

And I never thought I'd feel this way,
And as far as I'm concerned,
I'm glad I got a chance to say,
That I do believe I love you!

And if I should ever go away,
Well then close your eyes and try,
to feel the way we do today!
And then if you can remember . . .

Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!

For good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!

And so, by the way, I thank you and then,
For the times when we're apart,
Well then close your eyes and know,
These words are comin' from my heart!
And then if you can remember . . .

Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!

In good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face?
You've been content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind

I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complain

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
I would be nothin' without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

You are the wind beneath my wings

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
It seems the natural thing to do
Tonight no one's gonna find us
We'll leave the world behind us
When I make love to you Tonight
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And hope that deep inside you feel it too
Tonight our spirits will be climbing
To the sky lit up with diamonds
When I make love to you tonight

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight song is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do
Is to get close to you tonight
(Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And soon this old world will seem brand new)
Tonight we will both discover
How friends turn into lovers
When I make love to you
When I make love to you tonight

You're nearer, than my head is to my pillow,
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow.
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below,
Precious as the sun to the things that grow.

You're nearer, than the ivy to the wall is,
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.
Leave me, but when you're away, you'll know,
You're nearer, for i love you so!

God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour,
Was born on Christmas day . . .

To save us all from Satan's power,
When we were gone astray,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

From God our heavenly father,
A blessed Angel came,
And unto certain Shepherds,
Brought tidings of the same . . .

How, that in Bethlehem was born,
The Son of God by name,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

<instrumental break >

Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

The Shepherds at these tidings,
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding,
In tempest storm and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straight way,
The blessed babe to find,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

O holy night
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night
of the dear Saviour's birth!

Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
'till He appeared
and the soul felt it's worth!

A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks
a new an' glorious morn!

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born

O night divine O night,
O night divine!

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born

O night divine O night,
O night divine!

O holy night
O night divine

You better watch out!
You better not cry!
Here's the man who's gonna tell you why!

I just got back from a lovely trip
along the Milky Way!
I stopped off at the North Pole
to spend a holiday!

I called on dear old Santa Claus
to see what I could see,
he took me in his workshop
an' told his plans to me!

So! You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice
gonna find out who's naughty an' nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He sees you when you're sleepin' ( he sees you! )
he knows when you're awake ( he knows! )
he knows if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake!

Ho, you better watch out, you better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

With little tin horns and little toy drums,
rooty toot toots an' runny tum tums!
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo,
elephants, boats an' kiddy cars too!
Santa Claus, Santa Clause, Santa Clause is comin'
comin' to town!

The kids in girl an' boy land
will have a jubilee!
They're gonna build a toyland town
all around the Christmas tree!

So! You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why;
the big jolly man in the bright red suit
with his sleigh all full of loot
Santa Claus is comin' . . .
to town!

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
an' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

< instrumental break >

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas . . . to you!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
And I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
And have a merry Christmas
And have a merry Christmas, too

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
All your Christmases
All your Christmases be white

And have a merry Christmas

Sleigh bells ring; are you list'nin'?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin',
A beautiful sight, we're happy to night
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird;
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

In a meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown;
Hell say, 창??Are you married?창??
We'll say, 창??No man!
But you can do the job when you're in town!창??

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire,
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know
how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
the night won't set me free
But I don't let the
evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my believe
And yes I know
how lonelyless can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
but I don't let the
evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And Aubrey was her name,
And not so very ordinary girl, or name . . .
But who's to blame,
For a love that wouldn't bloom,
For the hearts that never played in tune&nbsp;?

Like a lovely melody,
That everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme.
It doesn't mean a thing . . . hmmmm

And Aubrey was her name,
We tripped the light,
And danced together to the moon,
But where was June&nbsp;?
No, it never came around,
If it did, it never made a sound . . .
Maybe I was absent,
Or was listening too fast,
Catching all the words,
But then, the meaning going past . . . hmmmm

Oh, how I miss the girl,


And I'd go a thousand times around the world,
Just to be,
Closer to her, than to me.

And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her,
But I loved her just the same,
I loved her name . . .

Wish that I had found a way,
And the reasons that would make her stay . . .
I have learned to lead a life,
Apart from all the rest,
If I can't have the one I want.
I'll go without the best . . . hmmmm

Oh, how I miss the girl,
And I'd go a million times around the world,
Just to say,
She had been mine for a day!

Words and Music by David A. Gates

Don't look so sad, I know it's over,
But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together,
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine,
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times . . .

I'll get along, you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me,
Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me . . .

Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine,
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times . . .

For the good times . . .

Words and Music by Kris Kristofferson

I believe in music,
I believe in love, love, love!
I believe in music,
I believe in love!

Well I can just sit around makin' music all day long,
Long as I'm makin' music, I can't do nobody no wrong!
And who knows maybe someday I'll come up with a song,
That makes people want to stop their fussin' an' fightin'
Long enough to sing along!

I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!

Music is love, love is music, if you know what I mean,
People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen!
So clap your hands an' stomp your feet, shake your tambourine,
( Lift your voices to the sky ) God loves you when you sing!

I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!

Music is the universal language and love is the key,
To brotherhood an' peace an' understandin' to live in harmony!
So, take your brothers by the hand and sing along with me,
Find out what it really means to be young, rich an' free!

I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!

I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!
I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .

Words and Music by
Mac Davis , 1972

I heard she sang a good song,
I heard she had a style,
And so I came to see her,
To listen for a while . . .

And there she was this young girl,
A stranger to my eyes . . .

Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt she found my letters,
And read each one aloud . . .

I prayed that she would finish,
But she just kept right on . . .

Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

She sang as if she knew me,
In all my dark despair,
And then she looked right through me,
As if I wasn't there . . .

But she was there, this stranger,
Singing clear and strong . . .

Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Killing me softly, with her song . . .

La, la la la la . . .

Sing, sing a song,
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of the good things, not bad,
Sing of the happy, not sad . . .

Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .

La, la la la la . . .
Sing ( sing . . ) sing a song ( sing . . )
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of good things, not bad,
Sing of happy, not sad . . .

Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .

Sing, sing a song . . .
Sing, sing a song . . .

La, la la la la . . .

I'm comin' home, I've done my time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
If you received my letter,
Tellin' you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do,
If you still want me . . .

If you still want me . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years,
Do you still want me&nbsp;? ( still want me&nbsp;? )
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us,
Put the blame on me . . .

If I don't see a yellow ribbon around the ole oak tree . . .

Bus driver please look for me,
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see,
I'm really still in prison,
And my love, she holds the key,
Simple yella ribbon's, what I need to set me free . . .

I wrote and told her please . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years,
Do you still want me&nbsp;? ( still want me&nbsp;? )
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us,
Put the blame on me . . .

If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
. . . three long years,
. . . still want me&nbsp;?
And now the whole damn bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see . . .

A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole . . .
The ole oak tree!

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night

just in case you feel you wanna hold her
You'll have a pocket full of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away (never let it fade away)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day (save it for a rainy day)

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night
And just in case you feel you wanna hold her
You'll have a pocket full of starlight..

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day..
&nbsp;
For when your troubles start multiplying
And they just might
It's easy to forget them without tryin'
with just a pocketful of starlight Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away (never let it fade away)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day (rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day (rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day -

Dont let the stars get in your eyes,
Dont let the moon break your heart!
Love blooms at night,
In daylight it dies,
Dont let the stars get in your eyes,
Dont keep your heart from me,
For some day Ill return,
And you know youre the only one Ill ever love!

Too many nights! ( Too many nights! )
Too many stars! ( Too many stars! )
Too many moons could change your mind!
( Dont let the moon change your mind! )

If Im gone too long,
Dont forget where you belong,
When the stars come out remember you are mine!

Dont let the stars get in your eyes,
Dont let the moon break your heart!

. . . Dont let the moon break your heart! )



( Pa pa pa pia, pa pa pa pia . . . )

Too many miles! ( Too many miles! )

Oh! please keep your heart, while we are apart,
Dont you linger in the moonlight when Im gone! ( While Im gone! )

Dont let the stars get in your eyes,
Dont let the moon break your heart!

Dont keep your heart from me,
For some day Ill return,
And you know youre the only one Ill ever love!
( Ill ever love! ) Ill ever love!

Youre the only one! ( Youre the only one! )
Ill ever love!

And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

I believe, for every drop of rain that falls,
A flower grows . . .

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
A candle glows . . .

I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come, to show the way,
I believe, I believe . . .

I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard . . .

I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word . . .

Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why, I believe!

I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard . . .

I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word . . .

Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why, I believe!

( I Know, I know, oh yes, I know! )

I know what it means
to be lost in the dark!
I know what it means
to be tossed by the storm!

I have walked alone
with a heart of stone
and despair too heavy for tears,
but you caught my heart
and you taught my heart
to forget it's doubts and fear!

And now that I know
the joy of your love
My head is high, I can face the sky
and know that heaven is here below,
I know . . .

For you I could die,
for you I will live,
I know!

( I Know, I know, I know! )

It's impossible, tell the sun to leave the sky, it's just impossible
It's impossible, ask a baby not to cry, it's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me and not feel you goin' through me
But the second that I never think of you, oh how impossible

Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore, it's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more, it's just impossible
And tomorrow, shouldya ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love is just impossible

Repeat second verse

Impossible, immmmmm-impossible

( Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah! ) Yes!

Theres been a lot of talk about the game of love,
Its what everybody, everywhere, is thinking of!
The love bugs busy as he can be,
And I gotta a funny feeling that he just bit me!

[chorus]
Cause love makes the world go round and around.
Love makes the world go round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
Cause love makes the world go round!

I met a little guy about four feet small,
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall!
Every time I see em comin down the street,
I know true love just cant be beat!

[repeat chorus]

A goose got loose at the county fair,
They looked high and low but she wasnt there!
Up jumped a gander who said leave her alone,
When she misses old Dad, shell come back home!
Cause love makes the world go round . . . ( and round and round! )

No matter what you do or where you go,
You get kinda lonely when the lights are low!
Everybodys gotta have a love thats true,
And I just gotta have you, you, you!

Cause love makes the world go round and around.
Love makes the world go round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
Cause love makes the world go . . .
Love makes the world go . . .
Love! Makes the world go round!
Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah!

Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin,
Magic, moments,
Memories weve been sharin . . .

Ill never forget the moment we kissed,
The night of the hayride,
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,
While takin' a sleigh ride.

Magic, moments,
Memories weve been sharin,
Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin . . .

Time cant erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!

whistling . . .

The telephone call that tied up the line,
For hours and hours,
The Saturday dance, I got up the nerve,
To send you some flowers.

Magic, moments,
Memories weve been sharin,
Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin . . .

Time cant erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!

The way that we cheered,
Whenever our team,
Was scoring a touchdown!

The time that the floor,
Fell out of my car,
When I put the clutch down!

The penny arcade,
The games that we played,
The fun and the prizes!

The Halloween hop,
When everyone came,
In funny disguises.

Magic, moments,
Filled with love!

Alone from night to night youll find me,
Too weak to break the chains that bind me,
I need no shackles to remind me,
Im just a prisoner of love!

For one command I stand and wait now,
From one whos master of my fate now,
I cant escape for its too late now,
Im just a prisoner of love!

Whats the good of my caring,
if someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I cant have another, for Im not free!

Shes in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her Im creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
Im just a prisoner of love . . .

Whats the good of my caring,
if someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I cant have another, for Im not free!

Shes in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her Im creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
Im just a prisoner of love . . .

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love will hold you round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new sound
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

In the night you see the oval moon
Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy want to say

Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong that two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love, you'll hold her round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new sound
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

In the night you see the oval moon
Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy want to say

Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong your two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love

Find a ring, out it on
For you know that this is really love, really love, really love

Try to remember the kind of September,
When life was slow and oh so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September,
When grass was green and grain was yellow.

Try to remember the kind of September,
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow (follow) follow (follow) follow

Try to remember when life was so tender,
That no one wept except the willow,
Try to remember when life was so tender,
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.

Try to remember when life was so tender,
That love was an ember about to billow,
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow (follow) follow

(follow, deep in December it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.)

Deep in December it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December our heart's should remember,
And follow (follow) follow (follow) follow

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes,
I dreamed the world held not but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dream but what I dream of thee.

I love you as I never loved before,
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is or,
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.

I love you as I never loved before,
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is or . . .
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know
how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
the night won't set me free
But I don't let the
evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my believe
And yes I know
how lonelyless can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
but I don't let the
evening get me down
Now that you're around me

It is "He", Christ who is born today
See Him crying in the manger
King of Heaven
Son of God
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

There He lies
there with the lam'kin
Only swaddle for his garment
With his Holy Mother Mary
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Glory, Glory, Almighty God!
And on Earth,
Peace to All Men
Hear the joyful angels singing
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

He is born,
let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
King of Kings
Prince of Peace
for All the Universe
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see? (do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see (do you see what I see?)

A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite!

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear? (do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear? (do you hear what I hear?)

A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea!

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know? (do you know what I know?)
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know? (do you know what I know?)

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold!

Said the king to the people everywhere (said the king to the people everywhere!)
Listen to what I say (listen to what I say!)
Pray for peace, people everywhere (pray for peace, people everywhere!)
Listen to what I say (listen to what I say!)

The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light!

Do you hear what I hear? (do you hear what I hear?)
Do you hear what I hear? (do you hear what I hear?)
Do you hear what I hear? (do you hear what I hear?)

Frosty the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made of coal.

Frosty the snowman,
Is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in
That old silk they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around!

Oh, frosty, the snowman,
Was alive as he could be;
And the children say
He could laugh and play,
Just the same as you and me.

Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song!



Frosty the snowman,
Knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "let's run, and we'll have some fun,
Now, before I melt away."

Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin' here and there,
All around the square,
Sayin', "catch me if you can."

He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop . . .
And only paused a moment,
When he heard him holler, "stop!"

Hmm, frosty the snowman,
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."

Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Look at frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Over the hills of snow!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
let your heart be light
from now on our troubles will be out of sight
Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Christmas!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
make the yuletide gay
from now on our troubles will be miles away!
All your troubles soon turn into bubbles!

Once again, as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more! ( Once more! )

Through the years we all will be together
if the fates allow;
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
and have yourself a merry little Christmas
now!

Friendship is a holly tree,
That brightens as it grows,
Friendship is a holly tree,
But love is a Christmas rose!

Romance is the mistletoe,
That from the ceiling glows,
Romance is the mistletoe,
But love is a Christmas rose!

With this rose I give you,
On this Christmas day,
Can't you see my darling,
What my heart has tried so hard to say?

O holy night
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night
of the dear Saviour's birth!

Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
'till He appeared
and the soul felt it's worth!

A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks
a new an' glorious morn!

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born

O night divine O night,
O night divine!

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born

O night divine O night,
O night divine!

O holy night
O night divine

You better watch out!
You better not cry!
Here's the man who's gonna tell you why!

I just got back from a lovely trip
along the Milky Way!
I stopped off at the North Pole
to spend a holiday!

I called on dear old Santa Claus
to see what I could see,
he took me in his workshop
an' told his plans to me!

So! You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice
gonna find out who's naughty an' nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He sees you when you're sleepin' ( he sees you! )
he knows when you're awake ( he knows! )
he knows if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake!

Ho, you better watch out, you better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

With little tin horns and little toy drums,
rooty toot toots an' runny tum tums!
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo,
elephants, boats an' kiddy cars too!
Santa Claus, Santa Clause, Santa Clause is comin'
comin' to town!

The kids in girl an' boy land
will have a jubilee!
They're gonna build a toyland town
all around the Christmas tree!

So! You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why;
the big jolly man in the bright red suit
with his sleigh all full of loot
Santa Claus is comin' . . .
to town!

Silver bells, silver bells
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling, hear them ring
soon it will be Christmas day!

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
dressed in holiday style
in the air there's a feeling of Christmas!

Children laughing, people passing
meeting smile after smile
and on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
soon it will be Christmas day!

Strings of street lights, even stop lights
blink of bright red an' green
as the shoppers rush home with their treasures!

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
this is Santa's big scene
and above all this bustle you'll hear

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
soon it will be Christmas day!

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
soon . . . to fade

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
an' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

There is no Christmas
Like a home Christmas
With your dad and mother
Sis an' brother there!

With their hearts humming
At your home comin'
And that merry yuletide spirit
In the air!

Ringing loud an' strong
Follow them, follow them
You've been away too long!

There is no Christmas

All roads lead home!

my true love gave to me . . .
ten ladies dancin'
nine pipers pipin'
eight maids a milkin'
seven swans a swimmin'
six geese a layin'
five golden rings!
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

On the eleventh day of Christmas
my true love gave to me . . .
eleven Lords a leapin'
ten ladies dancin'
nine pipers pipin'
eight maids a milkin'
seven swans a swimmin'
six geese a layin'
five golden rings!
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

On the twelfth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me . . .
twelve drummers drummin'
eleven Lords a leapin'
ten ladies dancin'
nine pipers pipin'
eight maids milkin'
seven swans a swimmin'
six geese a layin'
five golden rings!
four calling birds
three French hens
two turtle doves
and a partridge in a pear tree!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
And I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
And have a merry Christmas
And have a merry Christmas, too

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
All your Christmases
All your Christmases be white

And have a merry Christmas

Sleigh bells ring; are you list'nin'?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin',
A beautiful sight, we're happy to night
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird;
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

In a meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown;
Hell say, 창??Are you married?창??
We'll say, 창??No man!
But you can do the job when you're in town!창??

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire,
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just like me
they long to be close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by
Just like me
they long to be close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
An decided to create
a dream come true
So they sprinkled mood dust
in your hair of gold
An starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
they long to be close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
An decided to create
a dream come true
So they sprinkled mood dust
in your hair of gold
An starlight in your eyes of blue
That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
they long to be close to you
Why Close to you
Why Close to you
Why Close to you
Just like me
they long to be Close to you
Close to you close to you

And Aubrey was her name,
And not so very ordinary girl, or name . . .
But who's to blame,
For a love that wouldn't bloom,
For the hearts that never played in tune&nbsp;?

Like a lovely melody,
That everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme.
It doesn't mean a thing . . . hmmmm

And Aubrey was her name,
We tripped the light,
And danced together to the moon,
But where was June&nbsp;?
No, it never came around,
If it did, it never made a sound . . .
Maybe I was absent,
Or was listening too fast,
Catching all the words,
But then, the meaning going past . . . hmmmm

Oh, how I miss the girl,


And I'd go a thousand times around the world,
Just to be,
Closer to her, than to me.

And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her,
But I loved her just the same,
I loved her name . . .

Wish that I had found a way,
And the reasons that would make her stay . . .
I have learned to lead a life,
Apart from all the rest,
If I can't have the one I want.
I'll go without the best . . . hmmmm

Oh, how I miss the girl,
And I'd go a million times around the world,
Just to say,
She had been mine for a day!

Words and Music by David A. Gates

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail,
Yes, I would,
If I could,
I surely would . . . hmm

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail,
Yes, I would,
If I only could,
I surely would . . . hmm

Away, I'd rather sail away,
Like a swan that's here and gone . . .
A man gets tied up to the ground,
He gives the world it's saddest sound,
It's saddest sound . . . hmm

< instrumental break >

I'd rather be a forest than a street,
Yes, I would,
If I could,
I surely would . . . hmm



I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes, I would,
If I only could,
I surely would . . .

Away, I'd rather sail away,
Like a swan that's here and gone . . .
A man gets tied up to the ground,
He gives the world it's saddest sound,
It's saddest sound . . .

< instrumental break >

I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes, I would,
If I only could,
I surely would . . .

Yes I would . . .

Original English Lyrics by Paul Simon
Arrangement of 18th Century Peruvian folk melody by Jorge Milchberg
Notated in 1916 by Daniel Alomias Robles

Don't look so sad, I know it's over,
But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together,
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine,
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times . . .

I'll get along, you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me,
Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me . . .

Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine,
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times . . .

For the good times . . .

Words and Music by Kris Kristofferson

I believe in music,
I believe in love, love, love!
I believe in music,
I believe in love!

Well I can just sit around makin' music all day long,
Long as I'm makin' music, I can't do nobody no wrong!
And who knows maybe someday I'll come up with a song,
That makes people want to stop their fussin' an' fightin'
Long enough to sing along!

I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!

Music is love, love is music, if you know what I mean,
People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen!
So clap your hands an' stomp your feet, shake your tambourine,
( Lift your voices to the sky ) God loves you when you sing!

I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!

Music is the universal language and love is the key,
To brotherhood an' peace an' understandin' to live in harmony!
So, take your brothers by the hand and sing along with me,
Find out what it really means to be young, rich an' free!

I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!

I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!
I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .

Words and Music by
Mac Davis , 1972

I'm sleepin'
An' right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up
From somethin' that keeps knockin' at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
An' spring up in my bed
Screamin' out the words I dread
I think I love you! ( I think I love you! )

This mornin'
I woke up with this feelin'
I didn't know how to deal with
An' so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
An' never talk about it
An' didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into my room
I think I love you! ( I think I love you! )

I think I love you!
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for!

I think I love you!
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
That I never felt this way!

< instrumental break >


( I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about )

Hey! I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for!

I think I love you!
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
That I never felt this way!

Believe me
You really didn't have to worry
I only wanna make ya happy
An' if you say "hey! go away!"
I will
But I think better
Still, I'd better stay around an' love you
Do you think I have a chance?

Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you!
( do you think you love me? )
I think I love you!
( do you think you love me? )
I think I love you!
( do you think you love me? )
I think I love you!

I thought about walkin'
Thought about talkin'
Thought about singin'
Singin' the blues!

Thought about cryin'
Once I even thought of dyin'
But baby, most of all,
I thought about you!

Thought of just bein'
People I'm seein'
Thought about doin'
The things that they do . . .

Thought about livin'
Thought about forgivin'
But baby, most of all,
I thought about you!



< instrumental verse >

Thought about just bein'
People I'm seein'
Thought about doin'
The things that they do . . .

Thought about livin'
Thought about forgivin'
But baby, most of all,
I thought about you!

But baby, most of all,
Yes, I thought about you!
Thought about you . . .

Words and Music by Ronald E. McCown

I wanna give,
I wanna give my love to you completely,
I beg of you,
I beg of you to listen to my heart!

I've never prayed like this before,
And I'm askin' you not to close the door,
For I can tame the wind and smooth the waters,
If you just let me!

( repeat last verse )

I wanna give,
I wanna give you all the strength within me,
To make a world,
To make a world that cannot fall apart!

And you can sit upon a throne,
Oh I'll give it all just for you alone,
For I can tame the wind and smooth the waters,
If you just let me!

( repeat last verse )

Words and Music by Gene Nash, J. Eduardo Ruben Carballo,
and Enrique Raul De Jesus ( J. Marcelo )

Something's missin', when you hold me,
You don't whisper that you're mine,
Oh it all seems to fall into line!

Every promise that you make me,
Breaks like bubbles in the wine,
And it all seems to fall into line!

In a fog that isn't lifting,
We are drifting apart,
I can see someone's replaced me in your heart!

There's a coolness in your kisses,
That is only one more sign,
How it all seems to fall into line!



< instrumental verse >

In a fog that isn't lifting,
We are drifting apart,
I can see someone's replaced me in your heart!

There's a coolness in your kisses,
That is only one more sign,
How it all seems to fall into line!

Yes it all seems to fall into line!

Music by Ben Weisman
with lyrics by Al Stillman

I heard she sang a good song,
I heard she had a style,
And so I came to see her,
To listen for a while . . .

And there she was this young girl,
A stranger to my eyes . . .

Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt she found my letters,
And read each one aloud . . .

I prayed that she would finish,
But she just kept right on . . .

Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

She sang as if she knew me,
In all my dark despair,
And then she looked right through me,
As if I wasn't there . . .

But she was there, this stranger,
Singing clear and strong . . .

Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy
whose feet are
too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit Those
raindrops are fallin' on my head
they keep fallin'
So I just did me
some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the
way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job Those
raindrops are fallin' on my head
they keep fallin'
But there's one thing
I know The blues they send
to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till
happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean
my eyes will soon be turnin red
Cryin's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop
the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Nothin's worryin' me
But there's one thing
I know The blues they send
to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till
happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean
my eyes will soon be turnin red
Cryin's not for me
Cause I'm never gonna stop the
rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Nothin's worryin' me

La, la la la la . . .

Sing, sing a song,
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of the good things, not bad,
Sing of the happy, not sad . . .

Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .

La, la la la la . . .
Sing ( sing . . ) sing a song ( sing . . )
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of good things, not bad,
Sing of happy, not sad . . .

Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .

Sing, sing a song . . .
Sing, sing a song . . .

Snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away! ( come fly away! )
With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! )

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean,
The unborn grass lies waitin' for it's coat to turn to green!
The snowbird sings the song he always sings,
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring!

When I was young, my heart was young then too,
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.
But now I feel such emptiness within,
For the thing I want the most in life is the thing that I can't win!

( spread your tiny wings and fly away . . .
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day! )
The one I love forever is untrue,
And if I could you know I that would fly away with you!



The breeze along the river seems to say,
That she'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay!
So little snowbird take me with you when you go,
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow!

< repeat last two verses >

If I could, you know that I would fly away with you!

Snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away! ( come fly away! )
With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! )
Little snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away! ( come fly away! )
With me! ( with me! ) with me! ( with me! )
Little snowbird ( snowbird )
Come fly away . . .

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover,
Something in the way she woos me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .

Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover,
Something in her style that shows me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .

You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know . . .
You stick around, now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know . . .

< instrumental bridge >



Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her,
Something in the things she shows me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .

You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know . . .
You stick around, now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know . . .

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover,
Something in the way she woos me . . .
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .

Words and Music by George Harrison

I'm comin' home, I've done my time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
If you received my letter,
Tellin' you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do,
If you still want me . . .

If you still want me . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years,
Do you still want me&nbsp;? ( still want me&nbsp;? )
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us,
Put the blame on me . . .

If I don't see a yellow ribbon around the ole oak tree . . .

Bus driver please look for me,
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see,
I'm really still in prison,
And my love, she holds the key,
Simple yella ribbon's, what I need to set me free . . .

I wrote and told her please . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years,
Do you still want me&nbsp;? ( still want me&nbsp;? )
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us,
Put the blame on me . . .

If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .

Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
. . . three long years,
. . . still want me&nbsp;?
And now the whole damn bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see . . .

A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole . . .
The ole oak tree!

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .
