With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart?
With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
You're with me now sharing a vow never to part

I'm so afraid to close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
This lovely thrill
Is just a silly illusion

With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine

MONOLOGUE:
Darlin' with my eyes wide open I'm dreamin' ! Can it be true that I'm holdin'
you so close to my heart? Ya know with my eyes wide open I'm dreamin' ! You're here with
me now make the vow that we'd never part. I'm so afraid to close my eyes! I'm afraid that I'll
wake and find that all this dreamin' is just a silly illusion!

With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming
Do I deserve such a break?
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine

All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true
All my sighs, will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last
My heart belongs to you

Ohhhhhhhhh ooh, never let me go
You thrill me so
I can see as I recall my life
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love

Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay

Bow, caballero, and tip your sombrero
To your senorita, the lovely Chiquita
Waiting so long for you and your song
While you are playing her heart will be swaying

She will surrender her kisses so tender
To you she will cling the moment that you sing

All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true
All my sighs will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last my heart belongs to you

Ohhhhhhhhh ooh, never let me go
You thrill me so
I can see as I recall my life
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love

Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay

I was dancing with my darling
to the Tennesse Waltz
when an old friend I happened to see

duced her to my loved one
and while they're dancing
my friend stole my sweetheart from me

I remember the night and the Tennesse Waltz
Now I know just how much I have lost
yes I lost my little darling
the night they were playing
the beautiful Tennesse Waltz

Oh, for just the chance to love you
Would I love you, love you, love you
To take you in my arms
Has always been my goal
Sure as there's a moon above you
Would I love you, love you, love you
With all my heart and soul
With all my heart and soul

You ask me, would I love you if you let me
Eyes that see are eyes that know
Would I love you? What a question
When I'm yearning so

Oh, for just the chance to love you
Would I love you, love you, love you
To take you in my arms
Has always been my goal
Sure as there's a moon above you
Would I love you, love you, love you
With all my heart and soul
With all my heart and soul

*Mocking Bird Hill*

Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mocking bird,s trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee, there,s peace and goodwill
You,re welcome as the flowers on mocking bird hill

When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses round my windowsill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of those birds in the treetops on mocking bird hill

Trala-la, tweedlee dee dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mocking bird,s trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee, there,s peace and goodwill
You,re welcome as the flowers on mocking bird hill

When it.s late in the evening I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everythng,s still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singing songs in the twilight on mocking bird hill

I can't recall my mother
I don't remember dad
Mister and Mississippi was all I ever had
Oh, I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
My cradle was the river
My school a river boat
My teacher was a gambler
The slickest one afloat
My teacher was a gambler
The slickest one afloat
He taught me not to gamble on a petticoat
Oh, I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
Oh, darlin' how I love you
What more is there to say
I love you like a barefoot girl
Loves the summer day
The way a wanderin' gypsy
Loves the changing sea
Just like the restless river
Loves old New Orleans
I love a tiny village
A quiet country town
A house, a little garden
With kiddies runnin' 'round
You'd be a faithful husband
I'd be a trusty friend
Until I heard that steamboat
Comin' 'round the bend
Oh, I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
Oh, I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read
That detour sign

Headed down life's crooked road, lots of things I never knowed
Because of me not knowin', I now pine
Trouble got in the trail, spent the next 5 years in jail
Should have read (should have read) that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read
That detour sign

When I got right to the place where it said "About Face"
I thought that all my worries were behind
But the farther I go, more sorrow I know
Should have read (should have read)
That detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read
That detour sign

When I got stuck in the mud all my hopes dropped with a thud
I guess that my heart strings are made of twine
Have no willpower to get from the hole that I'm in yet
Should have read (should have read) that detour sign

Detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour
Paid no mind to what it said
Detour, oh these bitter things I find,
Should have read
That detour sign

Should have read that detour sign
Should have read that detour sign (that detour sign)

A gypsy with a crystal ball to gaze in
Can look into the future, so they say
But I am so afraid of fortunetellers
To know the truth might cast my world away

Now, just suppose I called upon a gypsy
To find you're gonna break my heart some day
So, darlin', I'm confessin', not knowin' it's a blessin'
So you can keep me guessin', come what may

A gypsy with a crystal ball to gaze in
Can look into the future, so they say
But I am so afraid of fortunetellers
To know the truth might cast my world away

Now, just suppose I called upon a gypsy
To find you're gonna break my heart some day
So, darling, I'm confessin', not knowin' it's a blessin'
So you can keep me guessin', come what may

I went to your wedding
Although I was dreading
The thought of losing you
The organ was playing
My poor heart kept sayingyour dreams your dreamsare through
You came down the aisle
Wearing a smile A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sighwhispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness
Your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you
You came down the aisle
Wearing a smileA vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh
And then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness
Oh your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you

See the pyramids along the Nile.
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle.
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me.

See the marketplace in old Algiers.
Send me photographs and souvenirs.
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me.

I'll be so alone without you.
Maybe you'll be lonesome, too.
And blue.

Fly the ocean in a silver plane.
See the jungle when it's wet with rain.
Just remember till your home again
You belong to me.
