Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning so they say.
I, myself don't talk about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning, that's today. And I can feel a new tomorrow comin' on. And I don't know why I have to make a song. Everybody talks a bout a new world in the morning. New world in the morning takes so long. I met a man who had a dream he had since he was twenty. I met that man when he was eighty-one. He said too many people just stand and wait up til the mornin', Don't they know tomorrow never comes. And he would feel a new tomorrow coming on. And when he'd smile his eyes would twinkle up in thought. Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. New world in the morning never comes. And I can feel a new tomorrow coming on. And I don't know why I have to make a song. Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. New world in the morning takes so long. |

The day the river freezes is the day it won't seem fair
'Cos they'll come to get the river lady And I don't think they'll care I know they'll scrape her paint off In their same old foolish ways Now the people see the river But the old ship's gone away Water turns cold and gets to freezing Before you even know it the old girl's easing Away from her berth round by the point and out of our view Off in the mist her engines pounding Back on the banks that old horn's sounding A little good-bye a little I'll do what I must do A little good-bye a little I'll do what I must do I know I will remember when I cannot hear that horn That would roll up by the mountains As she took us through the storm I know they've got to take her But I can't say I approve 'Cos she's won so many battles That I hate to see her lose Water turns cold and gets to freezing Before you even know it the old girl's easing Away from her berth round by the point and out of our view Off in the mist her engines pounding Back on the banks that old horn's sounding A little good-bye a little I'll do what I must do A little good-bye a little I'll do what I must do Water turns cold and gets to freezing... |

Something is going wrong
With the singer and the song And the music isn?t gentle anymore There?s a mist across the moon And the sun?s too hot at noon And the house is dark behind the broken door Where the flowers used to grow With their leaves are hanging low And the constant shadow lies across the floor There?s a strange and empty sky Where the wild birds used to fly And I never tasted bitter rain before And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky Will the golden flower wither soon and die Will the fire burn out the land And the sea fill-up with sand Will the last word ever spoken be why? Will the last word ever spoken be why? Someone?s lost the plan For the brotherhood of man And no one?s trying to find it anymore And the winds become a sigh For those who hate and those who die And the waves are black and slow along the shore And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky Will the golden flower wither soon and die Will the fire burn out the land And the sea fill-up with sand Will the last word ever spoken be why? Will the last word ever spoken be why, why, why? Will the last word ever spoken be ?WHY? |

Dear God, you made many, many poor people.
I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor. But it's no great honor either! So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune? If I were a rich man, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. All day long I'd biddy biddy bum. If I were a wealthy man. I wouldn't have to work hard. Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. If I were a biddy biddy rich, Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man. I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen, Right in the middle of the town. A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below. There would be one long staircase just going up, And one even longer coming down, And one more leading nowhere, just for show. I'd fill my yard with chicks and turkeys and geese and ducks For the town to see and hear. And each loud "cheep" and "swaqwk" and "honk" and "quack" Would land like a trumpet on the ear, As if to say "Here lives a wealthy man." If I were a rich man, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. All day long I'd biddy biddy bum. If I were a wealthy man. I wouldn't have to work hard. Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. If I were a biddy biddy rich, Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man. I see my wife, my Golde, looking like a rich man's wife With a proper double-chin. Supervising meals to her heart's delight. I see her putting on airs and strutting like a peacock. Oy, what a happy mood she's in. Screaming at the servants, day and night. The most important men in town would come to fawn on me! They would ask me to advise them, Like a Solomon the Wise. "If you please, Reb Tevye..." "Pardon me, Reb Tevye..." Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes! And it won't make one bit of difference if i answer right or wrong. When you're rich, they think you really know! If I were rich, I'd have the time that I lack To sit in the synagogue and pray. And maybe have a seat by the Eastern wall. And I'd discuss the holy books with the learned men, several hours every day. That would be the sweetest thing of all. If I were a rich man, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. All day long I'd biddy biddy bum. If I were a wealthy man. I wouldn't have to work hard. Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum. If I were a biddy biddy rich, Yidle-diddle-didle-didle man. |

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play? I don't remember growing older, When did they? When did she get to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall? Wasn't it yesterday when they were small? Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly flow the days. Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers, Blossoming even as we gaze. Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly fly the years. One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears. What words of wisdom can I give them? How can I help to ease their way? Now they must learn from one another, Day by day. They look so natural together, Just like two newlyweds should be. Is there a canopy in store for me? Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly fly the years. One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears. |

Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the dock Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town We're goin' to take a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town And oh we'll chop you down Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town And oh whoa-oh dirty old town Chop you down one of these days |

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails Far away from your land of endless sunshine To my land full of rainy skies and gales And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell I've heard there's a wicked war a-blazing And the taste of war I know so very well Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising Their guns on fire as we sail into hell I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow But how bitter will be this last farewell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell Though death and darkness gather all about me My ship be torn apart upon the seas I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee And should I return home safe again to England I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly More dearly than the spoken word can tell |

They say when you gain a lover
You begin to lose a friend That the end of the beginning's The beginning of the end They say the moment that you're born Is when you start to die And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye We know each summer's coming Means the winter's waiting there And gold would not be precious If we all had gold to spare You only know how low is low The first time that you fly And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye If I could live forever It is certain I could never Know another single second so sublime That moment of our meeting When our hands first touched in greeting How I wanted to hold back the hands of time When they begin the overture They start to end the show When you said "I'll never leave you," Then I knew that you would go The sound of all our laughter Is now echoed in a sigh And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye If I could live forever It is certain I could never know Another single second so sublime That moment of our meeting When our hands first touched in greeting How I wanted to hold back the hands of time (hands of time) When they begin the overture They start to end the show When you said "I'll never leave you," Then I knew that you would go The sound of all our laughter Is now echoed in a sigh And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye And the first time that we said hello Began our last goodbye |

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology Don't know much about science books Don't know much about the French I took But I do know that I love you and I know that if you loved me too what a wonderful world it could be Don't know much about geography Don't know much trigonometry Don't know much about algebra Don't know what a slide ruler's for but I do know what this one wants to and if this one could be with you what a wonderful world it could be Now, I don't claim to be an A-student, but I'm trying to be For maybe by being an A-student, baby I could win your love for me? Don't know much about the Middle Ages Looked at the pictures and I turned the pages Don't know much about the Rise and Fall Don't know much about nothing at all Girl, it is you that I've been thinking of And if I could only win your love What a wonderful world it could be |

The stark of grass tasts sweet upon my tongue
the tiny bird begins above to scold me I stretch my toes up to the morning sun and dreamed your arms of golden brown will always hold me All of my life I will thank the good Lord that I've found you All of my life with my love I'm going to surround you taking the time to proof I love sure as you see the stars above you all of my life Yes all of my life filling your life with love I've shared my world with birds and beasts and space I needed nothing else to satisfy me but laying here I see your smiling face I'm glad I didn't dress until you were beside me All of my life I will thank the good Lord that I've found you All of my life with my love I'm going to surround you taking the time to proof I love sure as you see the stars above you all of my life Yes all of my life filling your life with love Now I knowb why I walked that dusty road I had to go back where I was to find you Now I'm not alone within my soul you turned what was our house into a hold All of my life I will thank the good Lord that I've found you All of my life with my love I'm going to surround you taking the time to proof I love sure as you see the stars above you all of my life Yes all of my life filling your life with love all of my life Yes all of my life |

Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue I may be your forgotten son Who wandered off at twenty-one It's sad to find myself at home Without you If I could only hold your hand And say I'm sorry, yes I am I'm sure you'll really understand Oh Mammy Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Je suis parti un soir d'йtй Sans dire un mot sans t'embrasser Sans un regard sur le passй-й Dиs que j'ai franchi la frontiиre Le vent soufflait plus fort qu'hier Quand j'йtais prиs de toi ma mиre-и-re Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue Oh Mammy Blue |

You are my nights,
You are my days, You are my miracle, In so many ways. You give me hope, You carry on, You are my miracle, For you make me strong. The wonder of the love To feel and to share, Does ev'ry lover feel as I do? How happy when we meet, How cheerful when we part, To feel the joy and pain as I do. You are my nights, You are my days, You are my miracle, In so many ways. You give me hope, You carry on, You are my miracle, For you make me strong. If I could have a wish, I'd wish for everyone, I'd wish that all could feel as I do. I'd give to every heart, The miracle of love, To know the joy of life as I do. You are my nights, You are my days, You are my miracle, In so many ways. You give me hope, You carry on, You are my miracle, For you make me strong.

Found my love by the gaswork croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town, dirty old town I heard a siren from the dock Saw a train set the night on fire Smelled the spring on the sulfured wind Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town We're goin' to take a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire And we'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town, dirty old town Dirty old town, whoa-oh, dirty old town And oh we'll chop you down Oh, dirty, dirty, dirty old town Dirty old town, dirty old town And oh whoa-oh dirty old town Chop you down one of these days |

The day the river freezes is the day it won't seem fair
'Cos they'll come to get the river lady And I don't think they'll care I know they'll scrape her paint off In their same old foolish ways Now the people see the river But the old ship's gone away Water turns cold and gets to freezing Before you even know it the old girl's easing Away from her berth round by the point and out of our view Off in the mist her engines pounding Back on the banks that old horn's sounding A little good-bye a little I'll do what I must do A little good-bye a little I'll do what I must do I know I will remember when I cannot hear that horn That would roll up by the mountains As she took us through the storm I know they've got to take her But I can't say I approve 'Cos she's won so many battles That I hate to see her lose Water turns cold and gets to freezing Before you even know it the old girl's easing Away from her berth round by the point and out of our view Off in the mist her engines pounding Back on the banks that old horn's sounding A little good-bye a little I'll do what I must do A little good-bye a little I'll do what I must do Water turns cold and gets to freezing... |

Something is going wrong
With the singer and the song And the music isn?t gentle anymore There?s a mist across the moon And the sun?s too hot at noon And the house is dark behind the broken door Where the flowers used to grow With their leaves are hanging low And the constant shadow lies across the floor There?s a strange and empty sky Where the wild birds used to fly And I never tasted bitter rain before And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky Will the golden flower wither soon and die Will the fire burn out the land And the sea fill-up with sand Will the last word ever spoken be why? Will the last word ever spoken be why? Someone?s lost the plan For the brotherhood of man And no one?s trying to find it anymore And the winds become a sigh For those who hate and those who die And the waves are black and slow along the shore And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky Will the golden flower wither soon and die Will the fire burn out the land And the sea fill-up with sand Will the last word ever spoken be why? Will the last word ever spoken be why, why, why? Will the last word ever spoken be ?WHY? |

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play? I don't remember growing older, When did they? When did she get to be a beauty? When did he grow to be so tall? Wasn't it yesterday when they were small? Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly flow the days. Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers, Blossoming even as we gaze. Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly fly the years. One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears. What words of wisdom can I give them? How can I help to ease their way? Now they must learn from one another, Day by day. They look so natural together, Just like two newlyweds should be. Is there a canopy in store for me? Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset, Swiftly fly the years. One season following another, Laden with happiness and tears. |

Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green
Albany, whose mighty walls the people sheltered under Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free (This is Gordon McKenzie's story) Just like a song, a song that lasts forever (And the story of Albany, his family home) Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free Just like a song, a song that lasts forever Gordon was the eldest son, a golden eagle, so the story runs His brother Charles, dark as the raven One night in jealous rage and spite, the raven struck with all his might The eagle turned as quick as light and slew the raven Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free Just like a song, a song that last forever See the king's men come riding through the heather McKenzie's life they cry and all his land Silent clansmen stand motionless together An English king won't have a Highland man So the king by his decree did raze and fire poor Albany To let the people see his power the island justice still prevails And according to the clansman's tales A golden eagle nests forever in her tower Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free Just like a song, a song that last forever Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter under Albany, proud symbol set in the Highlands free Just like a song, a song that last forever Albany, that once stood high over Norton Green Albany, whose mighty walls the people shelter |

Immerwieder dieses Raunen
immerwieder dieses Staunen alle sind sie fasziniert von deinem Charme. Ich frag mich taglich ist denn das moglich einfach beneidenswert einfach unerhort. Du wirst alle Jahre schoner du wirst schoner von Jahr zu Jahr. Mir scheint daß du ein Geheimnis kennst weil es beinah schon an ein Wunder grenzt. Du wirst alle Jahre schoner und so ahnlich ergeht's auch mir denn so wie bei dir die Schonheit wachst wachst Jahr fur Jahr meine Liebe zu dir. Madchen werden will kaum eine Junge werden das kann keine immer gegen die Gesetze der Natur doch in deinem Falle versagen alle du hast den Lauf der Welt auf den Kopf gestellt. Du wirst alle Jahre schoner du wirst schoner von Jahr zu Jahr. Mir scheint daß du ein Geheimnis kennst weil es beinah schon an ein Wunder grenzt. Du wirst alle Jahre schoner und so ahnlich ergeht's auch mir denn so wie bei dir die Schonheit wachst wachst Jahr fur Jahr meine Liebe zu dir. Denn so wie bei dir die Schonheit wachst wachst Jahr fur Jahr meine Liebe zu dir zu dir zu dir. |

Leben mit dir ist der Himmel auf Erden
daf체r w체rd' ich durch die H철lle geh'n. Die Welt w채r' sinnlos f체r mich ohne dich gib mir die Hand nur mit dir will ich leben. Aus einem Samenkorn im Sand wird die sch철nste Blume wenn die Sonne scheint und der Regen f채llt. Aus einem L채cheln einem Blick wurde uns're Liebe und ich sorg' daf체r da?? sie immer h채lt. Leben mit dir ist der Himmel auf Erden ... Die Welt w채r' sinnlos f체r mich ohne dich gib mir die Hand nur mit dir will ich leben. gib mir die Hand nur mit dir will ich leben. |
