Andy Williams

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide, I
Don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, heh... but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show, I
Know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words...
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind, while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that, keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green, or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that its done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words...
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words...
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love

"Some other time", that's whatcha say when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me cry
'cause you don't want my love

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone (all alone)

In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love


Once upon a time you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me but now you don't
'cause you don't want my love

Some other guy is takin' up all your time
Now ya don't have any time for me
'cause you don't want my love

You don't seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me
Than to have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all alone (all alone)

In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love

(brief instrumental-sounds like Boots Randolph's sax)

In the summertime when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be blue
'cause you don't want my love

(In summertime, in summertime when all the leaves are green)
In the summertime, I'll be blue all the time
'cause you don't want my love

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mm mmmm

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Where Do I Begin

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There'd never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angels' songs , with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I'm never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand it's always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No not just for some
But for everyone

Lord, we don't need
Another mountain
There are mountains
And hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans
And rivers enough to cross
Enough to last
'Til the end of time

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone

Lord, we don't need
Another meadow
There are cornfields
And wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams
And moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord
If you want to know

What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
It's the only thing
That there's just too little of
What the world needs now
Is love, sweet love
No, not just for some
But for everyone

No, not just for some
Oh, but just for everyone

What now, my love
Now that you've left me
How can I live
Through another day
Watching my dreams
Turn into ashes
And my hopes
Into bits of clay
Once I could see
Once I could feel
Now I am numb
I've become unreal
I walk the night
Oh without a goal
Stripped of my heart
And my soul
What now, my love
Now that it's over
I feel the world
Closing in on me
Here come the stars
Tumbling around me
And there's the sky
Where the 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 die
What now, my love
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
Only my last
My last goodbye

What now, my love
Now that you've left me
How can I live
Through another day
Watching my dreams
Turn into ashes
And my hopes
Into bits of clay
Once I could see
Once I could feel
Now I am numb
I've become unreal
I walk the night
Oh without a goal
Stripped of my heart
And my soul
What now, my love
Now that it's over
I feel the world
Closing in on me
Here come the stars
Tumbling around me
And there's the sky
Where the 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 die
What now, my love
Now there is nothing
Only my last goodbye
Only my last
My last goodbye

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only begun

Before the rising sun we fly
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run
And yes we've just begun

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day, together

And when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes we've just begun

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talking it over just the two of us
Working together day to day, together, together

And when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes we've just begun

Walk hand in hand with me through all eternity
Have faith, believe in me, give me your hand
Love is a symphony of perfect harmony
When lovers such as we walk hand in hand

Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
So lift your head up high and look toward the sky

Walk hand in hand with me, this is our destiny
No greater love could be, walk hand in hand
Walk with me

Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
So lift your head up high and look up to the sky

Walk hand in hand with me, this is our destiny
No greater love could be, walk hand in hand
Walk with me

I've traveled far, the land and the sea
Beautiful places I happened to be
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of Saint Bernadette

Ava, ava, ava Maria
Ava, ava, ava Maria

There like a dream this wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light
A feeling divine swept over me there
I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer

Ava, ava, ava Maria
Ava, ava, ava Maria

Now I am home
I'm happy to be
Telling of places I've traveled to see
One little town
I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette

Ava, ava, ava Maria
Ava, ava, ava Maria

Ava, ava, ava Maria
Ava, ava, ava Maria

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hid us, keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly, we can fly

My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon

Stranger beware, there's love in the air under Paris skies
Try to be smart and don't let your heart catch on fire
Love becomes king the moment it's Spring under Paris skies
Lonely hearts meet somewhere on the street of desire

Parisian love can bloom high in a skylight room
Or in a gay cafe where hundreds of people can see

I wasn't smart and I lost my heart under Paris skies
Don't ever be a heartbroken stranger like me

Oh, I fell in love
Yes, I was a fool
For Paris can be so beautifully cruel
Paris is just a gay coquette who wants to love and then forget
Stranger beware, there's love in the air

Just look and see what happened to me under Paris skies
Watch what you do, the same thing can happen to you

Ooh, I fell in love
Mmm, I was a fool
Yes, Paris can be so beautifully cruel
Paris can be a gay coquette who wants to love and then forget
Stranger beware, there's love in the air

<scat>

I wasn't smart and I lost my heart under Paris skies
Watch what you do, the same thing can happen to you
Watch what you do, the same thing can happen to you
Watch what you do, the same thing can happen to you

Unchained Melody


Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be coming home, wait for me!"


Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time
When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time

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 so yellow

Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh

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 when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh

Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow

Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
Then follow

Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.

Today the minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light

Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!
Tonight

Today, the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than alright

But here you are,
and what was just a world is a star
Tonight

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it&nbsp;?
'cause I love you ...
Just the way you look tonight.

And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely...Don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Hmm...
Hmm...
Just the way you look tonight

The summer wind, came blowin' in, from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair, and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song, and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue, umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man, one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter winds, they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies, through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
The summer wind warm summer wind
Mmm the summer wind

One day we walked along the sand
One day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand
To mend its broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day
And many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song
The shadow of a smile

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes
My love and see
All the lovely things
You are to me

Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile

Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps, that love like yours
Is wasted on the young
Love's more comf'rtable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what led us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of lo-ove is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go You've got the

Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine toni-ight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go

I love you so
I love you so
I love you so

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star,


No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong

To love tough enchased from afar
To try when your arms are too weary

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right, without question or cause
To be willing to march and to hell for a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star.

This is the moment I've waited for

This land is mine
God gave this land to me
This brave and ancient land to me
And when the morning sun
Reveals her hills and plains
Then I see a land
Where children can run free

So take my hand
And walk this land with me
A nd walk this lovely land with me
*Tho'I am just a man
When you are by my side
With the help of God
I know I can be strong

(Repeat *)

To make this land our home
If I must fight, I'll fight
To make this land our own
Until I die, this land is mine

Chestnuts roastin' on an open fire
Jack Frost nippin' at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
an' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two


Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you!


And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas . . .
to you!

And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two


Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you!


And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas . . .
to you!

Music by Mel Torme
with lyrics by Robert Wells, 1946

Tender is the night
So tender is the night
There's no one in the world
Except the two of us

Should tomorrow find us disenchanted
We have shared the love that few have known
Summers by the sea, a sailboat in Capri
These memories shall be our very own

Even though our dreams may vanish
With the morning light
We loved once in splendor
How tender, how tender the night

Even though our dreams may vanish
With the morning light
We loved once in splendor
How tender, how tender the night

My world is like a river, as dark as it is deep;
Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep.
My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me,
Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memory.
Sweet memories, sweet memories-
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
She slipped into the silence of my dreams again last night;
Wandering from room to room, she's turning on each light.
Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea,
And I'm swept away from sadness, clinging to her memory.
Sweet memories, sweet memories-
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
Sweet memories, sweet memories-
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.

Peaked at # 73 in 1962
This is a vocal cover of the instrumental by Mr. Acker Bilk's #1 two months earlier.
Andy Williams also covered it at the same time to # 38.
It was used as the title tune of a British TV show.

Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you

I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"

Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?

In the cold of the evening when everything is getting kinda' groovy
I call you up and ask "would you like to go and meet to see a movie?"
First you say no, you've got some plans for tonight
And then you stop, and say "alright"
Love is kinda' crazy with a spooky little girl like you

(spooky)
You always keep me guessin' and I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda' crazy with a spooky little girl like you
(spooky)

Let's dance...

If you decide to stop this little game that you are playing
I'm gonna tell you all that my heart has been dying to be sayin'
Just like a ghost you've been hauntin' my dreams
So I confess, on halloweens
Love is kinda' crazy with a spooky little girl like you
(spooky)

Speak softly, love
And hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words
The tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love
So no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love
We make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love
So no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love

Speak softly, love
And hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words
The tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love
So no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love
We make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love
So no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all because
You came into my world with love so softly love

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
It is the special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreaming

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
With eyes as black as coal that looks down in my soul
And starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon

I'm goin' to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden

Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find a way of forgiving
Somewhere...
There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday there'll be a time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care
Someday, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
Will find there's a way of forgiving
Somewhere... Somewhere... Somewhere...
There's a place for us
A time and a place for us
Hold my hand and we're half way there
Just hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow...
Someday, somewhere...

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 wont 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, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines 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 nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like I love you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like I love you
(I love you, I love you,...)

Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around, now it may show
I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
