All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day I'd be safe and warm If I was in L.A. California dreaming On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church I passed along the way Well, I got down on my knees And I pretend to pray You know the preacher likes the cold He knows I'm gonna stay California dreaming On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown And the sky is grey I've been for a walk On a winter's day If I didn't tell her I could leave today California dreaming On such a winter's day
Feel I am going back to Massachusetts Something's telling me I must go home And the lights all went out in Massachusetts The day I left her standing on her own Try to hitch a ride to San Francisco Gotta do the things I wanna do And the lights all went out in Massachusetts They brought me back to see my way with you Talk about the life in Massachusetts Speak about the people I have seen And the lights all went out in Massachusetts And Massachusetts is one place I have seen I will remember Massachusetts I will remember Massachusetts
Hello, darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision That was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone Beneath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed By the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share... And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence.
"Fools," said I, "you do not know Silence like a cancer grows." "Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming. And the signs said: "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls, And whisper'd in the sound of silence."
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go I'm standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', It's early morn The taxi's waitin', He's blowin' his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could die
*So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go. I'm leavin' on a jet plane I Don't know when I'll be back again Oh, babe, I hate to go.
There's so many times I've let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you Ev'ry song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.
*Repeat
Now the time has come to leave you One more time Let me kiss you Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times, I won't have to say,
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, Play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
Take me for a trip upon your magic swirling ship All my senses have been stripped My hands can't feel to grip My toes too numb to step Wait only for my bootheels to be wandering I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way I promise to go under it
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, Play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come followin' you
I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
This is my same old coat And my same old shoes I was the same old me With the same old blues And then you touched my life Just by holding my hand And oh I look in the mirror and see A brand new girl, a brand new voice And a brand new smile Boy since I found you I've got a brand new style
Just because of you boy Just because of you I've got the same old friends They got the same old I tell the same old jokes Get the same old grins Now the joke's on you It happened somehow with you Every day of my life is as fresh as morning dew And you know I love you boy
I go to the same old places To see the same old faces Look at the same old skies See them all with brand new lives You get all the credit baby Cause I love you baby
All over the world People must meet and part There's someone like me Feeling a pain in their heart Some may meet again Under that same bright star If maybe some night You come back from afar Who cares if tonight I don't know where you are Are you thinking of me now Missing having me around If you forgotten me My world will come tumbling down All over the world Others are sad tonight There's someone like me Watching the sun's fading down
Close the doors, light the lights. We're stayin' home tonight, far away from the bustle and the bright city lights. Let them all fade away. Just leave us alone. And we'll live in a world of our own.
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share. All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there. And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind when we live in a world of our own.
Oh my love, oh my love, I cried for you so much. Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch. Now your lips can erase the heartache I've known. Come with me to a world of our own.
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share. All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there. And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind when we live in a world of our own.
We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share. All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there. And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind when we live in a world of our own.
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind when we live in a world of our own!
Oh I could hide neath the wings of the bluebird as she sings The six o'clock alarm would never ring but it rings and I rise wipe the sleep out of my eyes my shaving razors cold and it stings
* Cheer up sleepy Jean oh what can it mean to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen

Haven't I been good to you What about that brand new ring Doesn't that mean love to you Doesn't that mean anything If I threw away my pride And I got down on my knees Would I have to beg you, "pretty please"

Yester-me,yester-you,yesterday What happened to The world we knew When we were dreaming,scheming, Wind the time away yester-me,yester-you,yesterday
Where did it go (Where did it go) That yester-glow When we could feel the wheel of life turn our way Yester-me,yester-you,yesterday I had a dream So did you life was warm and love was true
Two kids Who followed all the rules yester-fools and now, Now it seems (now it seems) thoes yester dream we are just Were crueland foolish game we uesed to play Yester-me,yester-you,yesterday
When I recall what we had I feel lost I feel sad when nothing but the memory of... Oh~ yester-love and now,now it seems (now it seems) Those yester-dream where just a cruel and foolish game we had to play Yester-me,yester-you,yesterday

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin' 'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin' Off the wall that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin' She'll turn softly and call my name out loud And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Tho' time and time I try to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go.
See the tree, how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big I laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted, it, was just a twig Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away So it wouldn't die Came runnin' in all excited, slipped and almost hurt herself And I laughed till I cried She was always young at heart, kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so And I surprised her with a puppy Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago And it would sure embarrass her When I came in from workin' late 'cause I would know That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' Over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you if only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad And so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck Though I pretended hard to be Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck I came home unexpectedly and caught her cryin' needlessly In the middle of a day And it was in the early Spring when flowers bloom and robins sing She went away
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good And I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day while I was not at home while she was there and all alone The angels came Now all I have is memories of Honey and I wake up nights and call her name Now my life's an empty stage where Honey lived and Honey played And love grew up And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed That Honey loved
And see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big And I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
Everybody's talking at me. I don't hear a word they're saying, Only the echoes of my mind. People stopping staring, I can't see their faces, Only the shadows of their eyes.
I'm going where the sun keeps shining Thru' the pouring rain, Going where the weather suits my clothes, Backing off of the North East wind, Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone.
I'm going where the sun keeps shining Thru' the pouring rain, Going where the weather suits my clothes, Backing off of the North East wind, Sailing on summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone
Please release me let me go For I don't love you anymore To waste our lives would be a sin Please release me And let me love again
I have found a new love dear And I will always want her near Her lips are warm while yours are cold Please release me My darling let me go
Please release me let me go For I don't love you anymore To waste our lives would be a sin Please release me And let me love again
Please release me can't you see You'd be a fool to cling to me To live a lie would bring us pain So release me and let me love again Let me go, let me go
It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet" And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge" "Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas "Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please" "There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow" And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night? "I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem right" "I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge" "And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?" "I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite" "That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today" "Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way" "He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge" "And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
What goes up must come down [cowbell enters] Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round [full drum kit enters] Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
You got no money and you got no home Spinnin' wheel all alone Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn
Did you find the directing sign on the Straight and narrow highway Would you mind a reflecting sign Just let it shine within your mind And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true Drop all your troubles by the riverside [1: Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride] [2: Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly]
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone It's not unusual to have fun with anyone But when I see you hanging about with anyone It's not unusual to see me cry and I wanna die
It's not unusual to go out at any time But when I see you out and about it's such a crime If you should ever want to be loved by anyone It's not unusual it happens every day
No matter what you say You'll find it happens all the time Love will never do What you want it to Why can't this crazy love be mine
It's not unusual to be mad with anyone It's not unusual to be sad with anyone But if I ever find that you've changed at any time It's not unusual to find out I'm in love with you Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
*Young girl, get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line Better run, girl, You're much too young, girl
With all the charms of a woman You've kept the secret of your youth You led me to believe You're old enough To give me Love And now it hurts to know the truth, Oh,
*Repeat
Beneath your perfume and make-up You're just a baby in disguise And though you know That it is wrong to be Alone with me That come on look is in your eyes, Oh,
*Repeat
So hurry home to your mama I'm sure she wonders where you are Get out of here Before I have the time To change my mind 'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far, Oh,
Please lock me away And don't allow the day Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness I don't care what they say, I won't stay In a world without love
Birds sing out of tune And rain clouds hide the moon I'm OK, here I stay with my loneliness I don't care what they say, I won't stay In a world without love
So I wait, and in a while I will see my true love smile She may come, I know not when When she does, I'll lose So baby until then
Lock me away And don't allow the day Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness I don't care what they say, I won't stay In a world without love
So I wait, and in a while I will see my true love smile She may come, I know not when When she does, I'll lose So baby until then
Lock me away And don't allow the day Here inside, where I hide with my loneliness I don't care what they say, I won't stay In a world without love
I don't care what they say, I won't stay In a world without love
Don't let the sun catch you cryin' The night's the time for all your tears Your heart may be broken tonight But tomorrow with the morning light Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
The nighttime shadows disappear And with them go all your tears Cuz the morning will bring joy for every girl and boy So don't let the sun catch you cryin'
We know that cryin's not a bad thing But stop your cryin' when the birds sing It may be hard to discover That you've been left for another But don't forget that love's the game That can always come again So don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Those school girl days or telling tales and biting nails are gone.
But in my mind. I know they will still live on and on But how do you thank some one who has taken you from crayons to perfume. It isn't easy but I'll try,
If you wanted the sky I'd write across the sky in letters that would soar a thousand feet high To sir with love. The time has come, for closing books and long last looks must end. And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend, A friend who thought me night from wrong, and week from strong, that's a lot to leam. What! what can I give you in return,
If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start But I would rather, you let give my heart To sir with love
Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart
Baby, baby I'm aware of where you go Each time you leave my door I watch you walk down the street Knowing your other love you'll meet But this time before you run to her Leaving me alone and hurt (Think it over) After I've been good to you ? (Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Think it over Think it over
I've known of your Your secluded nights I've even seen her Maybe once or twice But is her sweet expression Worth more than my love and affection ? But this time before you leave my arms And rush of to her charms (Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ? (Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ?
Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Think it over Think it over
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient Hoping you'd stop this infatuation But each time you are together I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever
Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart
Baby, think it over Think it over, baby Ooh, think it over baby...
I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place And have a drink or two And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like: "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes, Still you despise the same old lies You heard the night before
And though it's just a lying to you, for me it's true It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lies to say To make the meaning come through But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red And oh the night's so blue And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like: "I love you"
I saw the harbor lights They only told me we were parting The same old harbor lights that once brought you to me I watched the harbor lights How could I help if tears were starting Goodbye to tender nights beside the silv’ry sea
I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more But you were on the ship and I was on the shore
Now I know lonely nights For all the while my heart is whisp’ring Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me
I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more But you were on the ship and I was on the shore
Now I know lonely nights For all the while my heart is whisp’ring Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me
Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
(Moon river, wider than a mile) (I'm crossin' you in style some day) Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way
Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don't they know it's the end of the world 'cause you don't love me anymore? Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above? Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when I lost your love I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything the same as it was I can't understand, no I can't understand How life goes on the way it does!
Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating? Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when you said goodbye goodbye
My soul was a-swayin' to the beat of your heart And your lips were sayin' that we won't dance apart Now someone else is holding you the way I did then.... So I'll never, no I'll never, never dance again, oh no
I'll stay off the dance floor till mem'ries grow dim And my heart would break to see you take every step with him
Oh, I see you sighin' on that shoulder of his And my heart was dyin' thinkin' how sweet that is Unless my arms are holdin' you the way they did then.... Darling I will never, no I'll never, never dance again, oh no
Oh, I've danced with others just to show I don't care But my arms discovered that the thrill wasn't there Unless my arms are holdin' you the way they did then
Darling I will never, no I'll never, never dance again No, darlin' no I will never, no I'll never, never dance again Again, again, again, I'll never dance again
you’ll never know how much I really love you you’ll never know how much I really care
listen, do you want to know a secret? do you promise not to tell? whoa-oh-oh closer, let me whisper in your ear say the words you want to hear “I’m in love with you” whoa-oh-oh
closer, let me whisper in your ear say the words you want to hear “I’m in love with you” whoa-oh-oh
I’ve known the secret for a week or two nobody knows just we two
closer, let me whisper in your ear say the words you want to hear “I’m in love with you” whoa-oh-oh
I’ve known the secret for a week or two nobody knows just we two
listen, do you want to know a secret? do you promise not to tell? whoa-oh-oh closer, let me whisper in your ear say the words you long to hear “I’m in love with you” whoa-oh-oh
The young ones darling where the young ones and the young ones shouldn't be afraid To live low while the flame is strong 'cause may not be the very young ones very long
Tomorrow why wait until tomorrow 'cause tomorrow sometimes never comes So love me there's a song to be sung and the best time is to sing it while we're young
Once in every lifetime comes the love like this Oh I need you and you need me oh my darling can't you see?
The young dreams should be dreams together and the young hearts shouldn't be afraid And some day when the years have flown darling then we'll teach the young ones of our own
