Let's Folk Again [compilation] (2006) by Various Artists (보컬) on maniadb.com

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 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 the kind of September When love was an ember About to billow Try to remember and if you remember Then 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 the 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 hearts should remember then follow, follow, follow -

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 waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Chorus:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
(oh, baby, don't 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
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring.

(Chorus)

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, and 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,

(Chorus)

Almost heaven west Virginia
웨스트 버지니아는 천국입니다
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah river
푸른 산과 세난도 강이 있어요
Life is old there, older than the trees
그 곳의 역사는 오래된 나무보다 깊지만
Younger than the mountains,
growin' like a breeze
산들은보다 짧고 산들바람처럼 지나가요

Country roads, take me home
고향길은 날 그곳으로 대려다 줘요
to the placeI belong
나의 보금자리로
West Virginia, mountain mama
서버지니아의 산신령이여
Take me home, Country roads
날 고향으로 대려가주오 고향집이여

All my memories gather around her
나의 모든 추억들은 그녀와 얽혀 있고
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
낮선 광부의 여인과 푸른 물이 있는 곳
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
어둠과 먼지로 물든 하늘은
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eyes
위스키 맛을 흐리게 하고 눈물이 고이게 하네

I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
아침에 그녀의 목소리가 나를 부르고
The radio reminds me of my home far away
라디오 소리는 얼마나 떨어져 있는 알려주고
And driving down the road I get a feeling
고향에 갖다 온 느낌을 주지요
That I should have been home yesterday yesterday
벌써 집에 도착했어야 한다고 느껴지네

Take me home, Country roads
날 고향으로 대려가주오 고향집이여
Take me home, Country roads
날 고향으로 대려가주오 고향집이여

I learned the truth
at seventeen
That love was ment
for beauty queens
And high school
girls
With clear skinned
smiles
Who married young
and then retired
The valentines
I never knew
The friday night
charades of youth
Were spent on
one more beautiful
At seventeen
I learned the truth
And those of us
with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social
graces desperately
Remained at home
inventing lovers
On the phone
who called to say
Come dance with me
and murmured
Vague obscenities
it isn't all it seems
At seventeen
a brown eyed girl
In hand me downs
whose name
I never could
pronounce
Said pity
please the ones
Who serve
they only get
What they deserve
and the rich
Relationed hometown
queen
Marries into
what she needs
With a guarantee
of company
And haven
for the elderly
Remember those
who win the game
Lose the love
they sought to gain
In debentures
of quality
And dubious
integrity
Their small town eyes
will gape at you
In dull surprise
when payment due
Exceeds accounts
received at seventeen~

To those of us
who knew the pain
Of valentines
that never came
And those whose names
were never called
When choosing side
for basketball
It was long ago
and far away
The world was younger
than today
When dreams were
all they gave for free
To ugly duckling
girls like me
We all play the game
and when we dare
We cheat ourselves
at solitaire
Inventing lovers
on the phone
Repenting other
lives unknown
That call and say
come dance with me
And murmur vague
obscenities
At ugly girls like me
at seventeen~

I was born in east Virginia
North Carolina I did roam
There I met a pretty fair maiden
Her name and age I do not know

Her hair it was of a brightsome color
And her lips of a ruby red
On her breast she wore white lilies
There I longed to lay my head

Well in my heart you are my darling
And at my door you're welcome in
At my gate I'll meet you my darling
If your love I could only win

I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun refused to shine
Than to see you another man's darling
And to know that you'll never be mine

Well in the night I'm dreaming about you
In the day I find no rest
Just the thought of you my darling
Sends aching pains all through my breast

Well when I'm dead and in my coffin
With my feet turned toward the sun
Come and sit beside me darling
Come and think on the way you done

If I could save time
in a bottle
the first thing that
I'd like to do
is to save every day
'til eternity passes away
just to spend them with you
if I could make days
last forever
if words could make wishes
come true
I'd save every day like a
treasure and then
again I would spend them
with you
But there never seems to be
enough time to do the
things you want
once you find them

I've looked around enough
to know that
you're the one I want to go
through time with

If I had a box
just for wishes
and dreams that had never
come true
the box would be empty
except for the memories
of how they were answered
by you
But there never seems to be
enough time to do the
things you want
once you find them

I've looked around
enough to know
that you're the one
I want to go
through time with

She knows when I'm lonesome.
She cried when I'm sad.
She's up in the good times.
She' s down in the bad.
Whenever I'm discouraged.
She knows just what to do.
But girl, she doesn't know about you.

I can tell her my troubles.
She makes them all seem right.
I can make up excuses.
Not to hold her at night.
We can talk of tomorrow.
I'll tell her things that I want to do.
But girl, how can I tell her about you?
How can I tell her about you?
Girl, please tell me what to do.
Everything seems right whenever I'm with you.
So girl, won't you tell me.
How to tell her about you?

How can I tell her I don't miss
her whenever I'm away.
How can I say it's you and I think
of every single night and day.
But when is it easy
telling someone we're through.
Ah girl, help me tell her about you.

How can I tell her about you?
Girl, please tell me what to do.
Everything seems right whenever I'm with you.
So girl, won't you tell me.
How to tell her about you?

Morning has broken
like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken
like the first bird
Praise for the singing
praise for the morning
Praise for the springing
fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall
sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall
on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness
of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness
where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight
mine is the morning
Born of the one light
eden saw play
Praise with elation
praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Morning has broken
ike the first morning
Backbird has spoken
like the first bird
Praise for the singing
praise for the morning
Praise for the springing
fresh from the world

Darlin' you can count on me
Till the sun dries up the sea
Until then Ill always be devoted to you

Ill be yours through endless time
Ill adore your charms sublime
Guess by now you know that Im devoted to you

Ill never hurt you, Ill never lie
Ill never be untrue
Ill never give you reason to cry
Id be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It cant die because Im so devoted to you

Ill never hurt you, Ill never lie
Ill never be untrue
Ill never give you reason to cry
Id be unhappy if you were blue

Through the years my love will grow
Like a river it will flow
It cant die because Im so devoted to you

And Aubrey was her name, A 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. Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing, Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing. And Aubrey was her name. We triped the light and danced together to the moon, But where was June. No it never came around. If it did it never made a sound, Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast, Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past, But God 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 the 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 do without the best. But 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.

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines...
No one is there.

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career.
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns...
Well, maybe next year.

A winter’s day In a deep and dark december I am alone, Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow. I am a rock, I am an island. I’ve built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship friendship causes pain. It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain. I am a rock, I am an island. Don’t talk of love, But I’ve heard the words before; It’s sleeping in my memory. I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried. I am a rock, I am an island. I have my books And my poetry to protect me; I am shielded in my armor, Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no painAnd an island never cries -

To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven A time to be born, a time to die A time to plant, a time to reap A time to kill, a time to heal A time to laugh, a time to weep To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven A time to build up,a time to break down A time to dance, a time to mourn A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven A time of love, a time of hate A time of war, a time of peace A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time for every purpose, under heaven A time to gain, a time to lose A time to rend, a time to sew A time to love, a time to hate A time for peace, I swear its not too late

Though we gotta say goodbye for the summer
비록 여름동안 헤어져 있어야 하지만
Darling I promise you this
사랑하는 그대여, 이것만은 약속할께요


I'll send you all my love every day in a letter
매일마다 편지속에 내 모든 사랑을 담아 보내겠어요
Sealed with a kiss
키스를 봉해서


Yes it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
그래요, 서글프고 외로운 여름이 되겠지만
But I'll fill the emptiness
마음의 허전함을 채우겠어요


I'll send you all my dreams every day in a letter
매일마다 편지속에 내 모든 꿈들을 실어 보내겠어요
Sealed with a kiss
키스를 봉해서


I'll see you in the sunlight
찬란한 햇빛 너머 그대 모습을 볼거예요
I'll hear your voice everywhere
어디에서나 그대의 목소리를 들을 거예요


I'll run to tenderly hold you
그대를 살포시 안아보려 뛰어갈 거예요
But darling you wont be there
하지만 사랑하는 그대는 그곳에 없겠지요


I dont wanna say goodbye for the summer
여름동안 잘 있으라는 인사는 하고 싶지 않아요
Knowing the love we'll miss
우리 둘 다 사랑의 순간을 아쉬워 할 테니까


Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
오,우리 9월이 오면 다시 만나기로 맹세해요
And seal it with a kiss
그리고 그 맹세 위에 키스를 봉하는 거예요


Yes it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
그래요, 서글프고 외로운 여름이 되겠지만

But I'll fill the emptiness
마음의 허전함을 채우겠어요


I'll send you all my dreams every day in a letter
매일마다 편지속에 내 모든 꿈들을 실어 보내겠어요
Sealed with a kiss
키스를 봉해서
Sealed with a kiss
키스를 봉해서
Sealed with a kiss
키스를 봉해서

You ask how much I need you-ou
Must I explain
I-I need you oh my darlin'
Like roses nee-eed rain
You ask how long I'll love you
I-I'll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never
I'll still be loving you
Ho-old me close
Never let me go
Ho-ho-old me clo-ose
Me-elt my heart like April snow-ow
I'll love you 'til the blue be-ells
Forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover
Has lost its perfume
I-I'll love you 'til the poe-ets
Run out of rhyme
U-u-until the twelfth of never
And that's a long lo-ong time
Until the twelfth of never
And that's - a - long - long - time...
A long-long time...

You by my side, that's how I see us,
I close my eyes, and I can see us.
We're on our way to say, ?I Do-oo,?br /> My secret dreams have all come true.

I see us now, your hand in my hand,
This is the hour, this is the moment.
And I can hear sweet voices singing,
Ave Maria

Oh my love, my love,
Can this really be?
That some day you'll walk,
Down the Aisle with me.
Let it be, make it be,
That I'm the one for you.
I'll be yours, all yours,
Now and forever.

I see the church, I see the people,
Your folks and mine happy and smiling,
And I can hear sweet voices singing,
Ave Maria,
Ave Maria,
Ave Maria.

A candy coloured clown they call the sandman,
Tiptoes to my room every night,
Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper,
"go to sleep everything is alright;"
I close my eyes and i drift away,
And to the magic night i softly say,
A silent prayer, like dreamers do,
Then i fall asleep to dream my dreams of you;
In dreams i walk with you,
In dreams i talk to you,
In dreams you're mine, all of the time,
We're together in dreams, in dreams;
But just before the dawn,
I awake and find you gone,I can't help it,
I can't help it if i cry,
I remember when you said "goodbye".
It's too bad that all these things,
Can only happen in my dreams,
Only in dreams,In beautiful dreams,
Only in dreams,In beautiful dreams.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

놀라운 은혜여! 얼마나 그 소리가 감미로운지요!


That saved a wretch like me

그 은혜가 저와 같은 비참한 인생을 구원했습니다.


I once was lost but now I'm found,

저는 한때 잃어버려진 존재였지만, 지금은 찾아졌고,


Was blind but now I see.

한때 눈이 먼 존재였지만, 지금은 보게 되었습니다



'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

저의 영혼에 두려워하는 마음을 가르쳤던 것도 은혜였고,


And grace my fear relieved

저의 두려움들을 없어지게 해 주신 것도 은혜였습니다.


How precious did that grace appear,

그 은혜가 제게 나타났다는 사실이 얼마나 소중한지요!

The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
'Twas grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind but now I see.

I’m sittin’ in the railway station Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one man band Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought’s escaping Home, where my music’s playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Everyday’s an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines And each town looks the same to me The movies and the factories And every stranger’s face I see Reminds me that I long to be Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought’s escaping Home, where my music’s playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Tonight I’ll sing my songs again I’ll play the game and pretend But all my words come back to me In shades of mediocrity Like emptyness in harmony I need someone to comfort me Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought’s escaping Home, where my music’s playing Home, where my love lies waiting Silently for me Silently for me Silently for me -

An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none --
He left his home and went his own and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay

A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.

My brothers' lives were different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago
And the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well.

(Instrumental)

I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go --
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And, papa, I don't think I
Said 'I love you' near enough --

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band.

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray.
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills.
Sketch the trees and the daffodils;
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me,
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
Now I understand
What you tried to say to me,
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen; they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you
But still, your love was true.
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do.
But I could've told you, Vincent:
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you.
Starry, starry night:
Portraits hung in empty halls:
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget;
Like the strangers that you've met:
The ragged men in ragged clothes.
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me,
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen; they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will.

I feel so bad
I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes
Workin' till the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm goin' back some day
Come what may
To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou

All those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again
On Blue Bayou

Saving nickels, saving dimes
Workin' till the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou

I'm going back some day
Come what may
To Blue Bayou

Where the folks are fine
and the world is mine
On Blue Bayou

All those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be

Oh, that boy of mine
By my side
The silver moon and the evening tide
Oh, some sweet day
Gonna take away this hurtin' inside

Well, I'll never be blue,
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou

Raindrops keep falling on my head

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

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

I'm coming home I've done my time Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me If you still want me Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree It's been three long years Do you still want me (Still want me) If I don't see a ribbon 'round the old 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 old 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 A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me freeI wrote and told her please Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old oak tree It's been three long years Do you still want me (Still want me) If I don't see a ribbon 'round the old 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 old oak tree Now the whole damn bus is cheering And I can't believe I see A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the old oak tree I'm coming home, mm-hmm Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree Tie a ribbon 'round the old oak tree -

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Well I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land...

With someone new
새로운 누군가와
She sure looks happy
그녀는 틀림없이 행복해 보일꺼야
I sure am blue
나는 틀림없이 우울하겠지
She was my baby
그녀는 나의 베이비(앤) 이였어
Till he stepped in
마침내 그가 그 안에 잇어
Goodbye to romance
안녕 로망스여
That might have been
그때까지 한것였어

I'm through with romance
나는 지났어 로망스와
I'm through with love
나는 지났어 사랑과
I'm through with counting
나는 지났어 계산과...
The stars above
나는 그것에 대해 시작했어
And here's the reason
그리고 여기 이것이 이유야
That I'm so free
그것에 나의 기분은 매우 자유로와
My loving baby
나의 사랑스런 베이비
Is through with me
나는 지났어 너와 함께

This is my island in the sun
Where my people have toiled since time begun
I may sail on many a sea
Her shores will always be home to me

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand

As morning breaks
The heaven on high
I lift my heavy load to the sky
Sun comes down with a burning glow
Mingles my sweat with the earth below

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand

I see woman on bended knee
Cutting cane for her family
I see man at the waterside
Casting nets at the surging tide

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand

I hope the day will never come
That I can't awake to the sound of drum
Never let me miss carnival
With calypso songs philosophical

Oh, island in the sun
Willed to me by my father's hand
All my days I will sing in praise
Of your forest, waters,
Your shining sand

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your lovin' mind.

To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while
Behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing,
'T would make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy,
Diddy diddy diddy dee dee dee.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears,
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be
And long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

The water is wide



The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like morning dew

There is a ship and she sails to sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide, I can't cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I

If he brings you happiness
Then I wish you
Both the best
It's your happiness That matters most of all
But if he ever
Breaks your heart
If the teardrops ever start
I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls
Si te guiere s de verdad
Yi te da, felicidad
Te de seo
Lomas bueno
Paralos dos
Pero si te senor'
A mi me
Puesdes hablar
Estare contigo cuando Triste estar
I'll be there Anytime you need me
By your side
To dry away
Every teardrop That you cried
And if he ever Leaves you blue
Just remember I love you
And I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls
And I'll be there
Before the next teardrop falls

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are

You live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard Saint-Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes you do

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

I've seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan on your back and on your legs

And when the snow falls you're found in Saint Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no you don't

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

Your name, it is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh a-ha-ha-ha

They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn

Where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try

So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do

I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head

The old hometown looks the same
as I step down from the train in there.
And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa
down the road I look and there runs Mary(bevi)
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch
the green green grass of home,
Yes, they all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green grass of home.

The old house is still standing those the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary(beverly)
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's good to touch
the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
At four gray walls surround me
And I realize yes,that I was only dream in
Theres a guard and theres a sad old padre
Arm and arm we will walk at daybreak
Again I will touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
blabla~ meet the green, green grass of home
