The torch I carry is handsome It's worth its heartache in ransom Now when that twilight steals I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When I want rain, I get sunny weather I'm just as blue, blue as the sky Since love has gone, I can't get myself together Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy I've got to get a new alibi I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?" Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops Moving on a stream of dreams My little memories, those precious memories Remind me of our crazy schemes
Then somebody says, just forget about her But I gave that treatment a try Strangely enough, I got along without her Then one day she passed me right by - oh well I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
In the wee small hours of the morning While the whole wide world is fast asleep You lie awake and think about the girl And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson You'd be hers if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning That's the time you miss her most of all
Nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, you're the best
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me I tried to hide from your love light But like heaven above me The spy who loved me Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better Though sometimes I wish someone could Nobody does it quite the way you do Why'd you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me Whenever you hold me There's some kind of magic inside you That keeps me from runnin' But just keep it comin' How'd you learn to do the things you do?
Oh, and nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best
Baby you're the best Darlin', you're the best Baby you're the best
There's nothin' you can do to turn me away Nothin' anyone can say You're with me now and as long as you stay Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing
I know you've had some bad luck with ladies before They drove you or you drove them crazy But more important is I know you're the one and I'm sure Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing
And it used to be for a while That the river flowed right to my door Making me just a little too free But now the river doesn't seem to stop here anymore
Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers Set me movin' to your sweetest song And I know what I think I've known all along Lovin' you's the right thing to do Lovin' you's the right thing Lovin' you's the right thing to do Is the right thing
Nothing you could ever do would turn me away from you I love you now and I love you now Even though you're ten thousand miles away I'll love you tomorrow as I love you today I'm in love babe I'm in love with you babe.
Nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, you're the best
I wasn't lookin' but somehow you found me I tried to hide from your love light But like heaven above me The spy who loved me Is keepin' all my secrets safe tonight
And nobody does it better Though sometimes I wish someone could Nobody does it quite the way you do Why'd you have to be so good?

Oh, and nobody does it better Makes me feel sad for the rest Nobody does it half as good as you Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best
Baby you're the best Darlin', you're the best Baby you're the best
You walked into the party Like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye in the mirror As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you?
You had me several years ago When I was still quite naive. Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved And one of them was me.
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you?
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you?
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga And your horse, Naturally, won. Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun. Well, you're where you should be all the time And when you're not you're with some underworld spy Or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you?
You're so vain You probably think this song is about you
you're my funny valentine, Sweet comic valentine, You make me smile with my heart You're looks are laughable, unphotographable Yet you're my favourite work of art Is your figure less than Greek, Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak are you smart But don't change a hair for me Not if you care for me Stay little valentine, stay
Mock (yeah) Ing (yeah) Bird (yeah) Yeah (yeah) Mockin'bird, now
Everybody have you heard He's gonna buy me a mockingbird And if that mockingbird won't sing He's gonna buy me a diamond ring And if that diamond ring won't shine He's gonna surely break this heart of mine And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Hear me now and understand He's gonna find me some piece of mind And if that piece of mind won't stay I'm gonna find myself a better way And if that better way ain't so I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Now, everybody have you heard She's gonna buy me a mockingbird Yeah if that mockingbird don't sing She's gonna buy me a diamond ring And if that diamond ring won't shine Yes, it'll surely break this heart of mine And there's a reason why I keep on tellin' everybody Say yeah, yeah no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Listen now and understand She's gonna find me some piece of mind Yeah if that piece of mind won't stay I'm gonna get myself a better way I might rise above, I might go below Ride with the tide and go with the flow And that's the reason why I keep on shoutin' in your ear No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now, now. baby
The blue of blue Is mostly grey Ain't no silver line No brighter day Last of the coming up Didn't come my way Looks like I'm down here to stay Down to stay
So kick me, I won't feel a thing My senses have all been run And there's nothing left of the used to be but the weeping that's just begun That sour taste too late But now I duck my head And no cradle rocks this empty bed If crying's not good for me Then I guess I'm doing wrong So I sing this crying song Cry along
You packed it in too soon You lose me but not your nerve Well I guess I know it's what I deserve Crazy to think that I could keep you on reserve And so the curtain falls Curtain falls
I'll be around No matter how you treat me now I'll be around When she's gone Your latest love Will never last And when it's past I'll be around when she's gone
Goodbye again And if you find a love like mine Just now and then Drop a line to say (that) you're feeling fine
And when things go wrong Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me And I'll be around when she's gone
Though folks with good intentions Tell me to save my tears Well I'm so mad about him I can't live without him Never treats me sweet and gentle The way he should I've got it bad And that ain't good And when the weekend's over And Monday rolls around
I end up like I start out Just crying my heart out He don't love me like I love him No, nobody could I've got it bad And that ain't good Lord above me, make him love me The way he should I got it bad And that ain't good
My heart is sad and lonely I sigh for you For you dear only Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you body and soul I spend my days in longing And wonder why It's me you're wronging I tell you I mean it I'm all for you body and soul I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it That you'd turn away romance Are you pretending It looks like the ending Unless you'd give me one more chance To prove dear My life a wreck you're making You know I'm yours just for the taking I'm gladly surrender Myself to you - Body and Soul
I'm hurt to think that you lied to me I'm hurt Way down deep inside of me You said Our love was true And we'd never part And now You want someone new And it breaks my heart
I'm hurt Much more than you'll ever know I'm hurt Because I still love you so But even though you hurt me Like nobody else could do I would never never hurt you
One of us slipped last night And said 'Darling' There in the middle of the night Between dream and sleep Did you say it or did I I don't know But it interrupted the war That's the way These cold wars are I love you we said Or one of us did And the other agreed >From the heart
One of us slipped last night And said 'Sorry' There in the middle of the madness Between the dark and the light Who cares if all the doors had been closed And no love had entered for days Cold wars like these go up in a blaze I love you we said Or one of us did And the other agreed >From the heart Thru the haze of the dream The truth could come thru You can see that I'm still Open to you I love you I love you we said from the heart
Once there was a thing called Spring When the world was writing Verses like yours and mine All the boys and girls would sing As we sat at little tables and drank May wine Now April, May and June Seem sadly out of tune Life has stuck a pin in the balloon
Spring is here, Why doesn't my heart go dancing Spring is here, why isn't the waltz entrancing No desire, no ambition leads me
Maybe it's because nobody needs me
Spring is here, why doesn't the breeze delight me Stars appear, why doesn't the night invite me Maybe it's because nobody loves me Spring is here Spring is here Spring is here I hear
Love Who knows about love And even those who do know Won't reveal it
Back when you were in your prime Love was just a waste of time Once you'd flirt discreetly Now you give completely that's pretty strange you can try to play at love Even be blas' at love But although you doubt it you can't live without it That's pretty strange
Love Who knows about it And even those who do know Won't reveal it
Love can make you cry sometimes make you want to die sometimes But when cryin's done then Love is so much fun then That's pretty strange
Not a day goes by Not a single day But you're somewhere a part of my life And it looks like you'll stay As the days go by I keep thinking when does it end Where's the day I'll have started forgetting But I just go on thinking and sweating
And cursing and crying And turning and reaching And waking and dying And no, not a day goes by Not a blessed day But you're still somehow part of my life And you won't go away So there's hell to pay And until I die I'll die day after day after day After day After day after day after day Til the days go by Til the days go by Til the days go by
