You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart I know that this is the beginning Though I loved you for one million years But if I thought our love was ending I'd find myself drowning in my own tears You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart You must have known that I was lonely Because you came to my rescue And though I know that this is heaven How could so much love be inside of you You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart ('Cause you are) You are the sunshine - of my life (Of my life, of my life) (Light my fire baby, light my fire,...) |

What now my love, now that you've left me
How can I live through another day Watching my dreams turn to ashes And my hopes turn to bits of clay Once I could see, once I could feel Now I am numb, I've become unreal I walk the night, without a goal Stripped of my heart and my soul What now my love, now that it's over I feel the world falling all around me Here come the stars, tumbling around me There's the sky, where that sea should be What now my love, now that you're gone I'd be a fool to go on and on No one would care, no one would cry If I should live if I should live or die What now my love, now there is nothing Only my last, my last good-bye |

I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools All indiscreet hearts Seemed romantic fools A house in Iceland Was my heart's domain I saw your eyes Now castles rise in Spain! 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 and talk And yet 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 Through all my school days I hated boys Those April Fool days Brought me loveless joys I read my Plato Love, I thought a sin But since your kiss I'm reading Missus Glyn! |

What's new?
How is the world treating you? You haven't changed a bit Lovely as ever, I must admit What's new? How did that romance come through? We haven't met since then Gee, but it's nice to see you again What's new? Probably I'm boring you But seeing you is grand And you were sweet to offer your hand I understand. Adieu! Pardon my asking what's new Of course you couldn't know I haven't changed, I still love you so |

For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long For once unafraid I can go where life leads me And somehow I know I'll be strong For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of Long before I knew Someone warm like you Could make my dreams come true For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me Not like it's hurt me before For once I've got someone I know won't desert me And I'm not alone anymore For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it" As long as I've got love I know I can make it For once in my life I've got someone who needs me |

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you? The words will never show For you I've come to know. If a face could launch a thousand ships Then where am I to go? There's no one home but you And now you've left me too. And when my love for life is running dry You come and pour yourself on me If a man could be two places at one time I'd be with you. Tomorrow and today Beside you all the way If the world should stop revolving Spinning slowly down to die. I'd spend the end with you And when the world was through... Then one by one, the stars would all go out. Then you and I, would simply fly away. |

In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window At the moon in its flight My thoughts all stray, stray to you In the still of the night While the world lies in slumber Oh the times without number When I say to you Do you love me Just like I love you Are you my life to be That dream come true Or will this dream of mine Will it fade way out of sight Just like that moon growing dim Way out on the rim of the hill In the still of the night |

I wonder what he'll think of me
I guess he'll call me the "old man" I guess he'll think I can lick Ev'ry other feller's father Well, I can! I bet that he'll turn out to be The spittin' image of his dad But he'll have more common sense Than his puddin-headed father ever had I'll teach him to wrassle And dive through a wave When we go in the mornin's for our swim His mother can teach him The way to behave But she won't make a sissy out o' him Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill! Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will. My boy, Bill! He'll be tall And tough as a tree, will Bill! Like a tree he'll grow With his head held high And his feet planted firm on the ground And you won't see nobody dare to try To boss or toss him around! No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around I don't give a damn what he does As long as he does what he likes! He can sit on his tail Or work on a rail With a hammer, hammering spikes! He can ferry a boat on a river Or peddle a pack on his back Or work up and down The streets of a town With a whip and a horse and a hack He can haul a scow along a canal Run a cow around a corral Or maybe bark for a carousel Of course it takes talent to do that well He might be a champ of theheavyweights Or a feller that sells you glue Or President of the United States That'd be all right, too His mother would like that But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be Not Bill! My boy, Bill! He'll be tall And as tough as a tree, will Bill Like a tree he'll grow With his head held high And his feet planted firm on the ground And you won't see nobody dare to try To boss or toss him around! No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bastard'll boss him around And I'll be damned if he'll marry the boss' daughter A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water Who'll give him a peck And call it a kiss And look in his eyes through a lorgnet Say, why am I talkin' on like this? My kid ain't even been born, yet! I can see him when he's seventeen or so And startin' to go with a girl I can give him lots of pointers, very sound On the way to get 'round any girl I can tell him ... Wait a minute! Could it be? What the hell! What if he is a girl? What would I do with her? What could I do for her? A bum with no money! You can have fun with a son But you got to be a father to a girl She mighn't be so bad at that A kid with ribbons in her hair! A kind o' neat and petite Little tin-type of her mother! What a pair! I can just hear myself bragging about her! My little girl Pink and white As peaches and cream is she My little girl Is half again as bright As girls are meant to be! Dozens of boys pursue her Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her From her faithful dad She has a few Pink and white young fellers of two and three But my little girl Gets hungry ev'ry night and she come home to me! My little girl, my little girl! I got to get ready before she comes! I got to make certain that she Won't be dragged up in slums With a lot o' bums like me She's got to be sheltered And be dressed in the best money can buy! I never knew how to get money But, I'll try, by God! I'll try! I'll go out and make it or steal it Or take it or die! |

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky
Maybe this time she'll stay Maybe this time, for the first time Love won't wander away She's gonna hold me fast And I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Not like the last time, and the time before Everybody loves a winner But nobody loves me Mr. Peaceful, Mr. Happy That's what I want to be All of the odds are, in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen, happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win |

When you're awake the things you think
Come from the dream you dream Thought has wings, and lots of things Are seldom what they seem Sometimes you think you've lived before All that you live today Things you do come back to you As though they knew the way Oh the tricks your mind can play It seems we stood and talked like this, before We looked at each other in the same way then But I can't remember where or when The clothes you are wearing are the clothes you wore The smile you are smiling you were smiling then But I can't remember where or when Some things that happened for the first time Seem to be happening again And so it seems that we have met before And laughed before, and loved before But who knows where or when. |

When all the songs are out of tune
And all the rhythms ring so untrue When I don't find the words to say The thoughts I bring to you When I hear lonely singers Who are just as lost as me Making noise, not melody You will be my music You will be my song You will be my music I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong I'll never find the song to tell me All the things I need to say And I'm afraid as time goes by That someday soon you'll go away And I'll be lost and trying For songs I'll never sing Wanting you is ev'rything You will be my music You will be my song You will be my music I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong I can't wait any longer for my song |

Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night what were the chances We'd be sharing love before the night was through Something in your eyes was so inviting Something in you smile was so exciting Something in my heart told me I must have you Strangers in the night Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away and Ever since that night we've been together Lovers at first sight, in love forever It turned out so right for strangers in the night Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away Ever since that night we've been together Lovers at first sight, in love forever It turned out so right for strangers in the night |

Hey drink up all you people
Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The laugh and the drinks on me Try to think that love's not around Still it's uncomfortably near My poor old heart ain't gaining any ground Because my angel eyes ain't here Angel eyes, that old Devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my love's mispent Mispent with angel eyes tonight So drink up all of you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The drink and the laughs on me Pardon me but I got to run The fact's uncommonly clear I got to find who's now the number one And why my angel eyes ain't here Excuse me while I disappear |

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it - New York, New York These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York I want to wake up in a city, that doesn't sleep And find I'm king of the hill - top of the heap These little town blues, are melting away I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere It's up to you - New York, New York New York, New York I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps To find I'm a number one, head of the list, Cream of the crop at the top of the heap. These little town blues, are melting away I'm gonna make a brand new start of it - in old New York If I can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere It's up to you - New York, New York |

And now the end is near and
so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I travelled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way Regrets, I've had a few But then again too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each chartered course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it, my way Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faces it all and I stood tall And did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that and may I say not in a shy way Oh, no, oh no not me I did it my way For what is a man, what has he got If not himself then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows and did it my way Yes, it was my way |
