Jane Monheit

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
With a singable, happy feeling
What a wonderful way to start

To face the world every day
With a deedle-um-dee-dulay
Little melody that is making
The world, world go by

When you walk down the street
With a happy-go-lucky beat
You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
What a wonderful way to start the day

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
With a singable, happy feeling
What a wonderful way to start

To face the world every day
With a deedle-um-dee-dulay
Little melody that is making
The worrying world go by

When you walk down the street
With a happy-go-lucky beat
You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating

When there's a shine on your shoes
There's a melody in your heart
What a wonderful way to start the day

What a wonderful way to start the day

I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks
I have words that do not come from children's books
There's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do
But everything I've got belongs to you

I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist
And the perfect wrist to give your neck a twist
Hammerlock holds, I've mastered a few
But everything I've got belongs to you

Share for share, share alike
You get struck each time I strike
Me for you, you for me
I'll give you plenty of nothing

I'm not yours for better but for worse
And I've learned to give the well-known witches curse
I've a terrible tongue and a temper for two
But everything I got belongs to you

Off to bed we will creep
Then we'll sleep and sleep and sleep
Till the little birdies peep
I'll give you plenty of nothing

I'm not yours for better but for worse
And I've learned to give the well-known witches curse
I've a terrible tongue and a temper for two
But everything I've got, oh, it's not a lot
Everything I've got belongs to you

I'll be around,
No matter how you treat me now.
I'll be around,
From now on...

You're latest love,
Can never last.
And when it's past,
I'll be around,
When she's gone.

Goodbye again!
And if you meet a love like mine,
Just now and then
Drop a line,
To say you're feeling fine.

And when
Things go wrong,
Perhaps you'll see,
You're meant for me.

So I'll be around,
When she's gone.

Goodbye again,
And if you meet a love like mine,
Just now and then,
Drop a line,
To say you're feeling fine.

And when
Things go wrongs,
Perhaps you'll say,
You're meant for me.

So, I'll be around,
When she's gone...

The weather is frightening
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day

The change in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day
And everything's okay

Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were headed on your way
Now you've got to remain

Just as you were goin'
Leavin' me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke
And oh, what a break for me

I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in a storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter-patter
'Cause it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in a storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter-patter
'Cause it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

Lo-lo-long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

Like a ghost that dances from the tip of a lit cigarette
I know what romance is, but it hasn't happened yet
Watch it floating up to heaven only knows
Disappearing before you get too close

It's only smoke
You might say a flame is burning
Only smoke
But my heart is more discerning
Only smoke...

Eyes are hypnotizing when they hold you within their embrace
Words are mesmerizing even when they've got nothing to say

The game is charming in an empty kind of way
What's the harm in asking me to play?

It's only smoke
You might say a flame is burning
Only smoke
But my heart is more discerning
I keep dreaming of a fire, but when I wake up to the cold
It's only smoke

Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life

A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
And try to find a sunny side of life
And try to find the sunny side of life

River, it likes to flow
Eagle, it likes to fly
Eagle, it likes to feel
It's wings against the sky

Possum, it likes to run
Ivy, it likes to climb
Bird in the tree and bumble bee want
Freedom in the autumn and the summertime

Ever since the day
When the world was an onion
Ooh, it's natural
For the spirit to soar and play

Way the Lord wanted it
Free as the sun is free
That's how it's gotta be
Whatever is right for the bumble bee
And river and the eagle is right for me

Ever since the day
When the world was an onion
Ooh, it was natural
For the spirit to soar and play

Way the Lord wanted it free
That's how it's gotta be
Whatever is right for the bumble bee
And river and the eagle is right for me
Yeah

Yeah
Gotta be free

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Oh, there's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there
Together, together

Oh, there's a bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to share
Together

Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people
Who needs people?

When the steeple bell
Says, "Good night, sleep well"
We'll thank this small hotel
Together

La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there
Together

There's a bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to share
Together

Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people
Who needs people?

When the steeple bell
Says, "Good night, sleep well"
We'll thank this small hotel
We'll creep inside our little shell
We'll thank this small hotel
Together, together, together

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Our love will live
Our love will last
This is not a dream
That ended with the dawn
It's one that fate intended
To go on and on

This isn't sometimes
This is always
This isn't maybe
This is always
This is love
The real beginning of forever

This isn't just
Midsummer madness
A passing glow
A moment's gladness
Yes, this is love
I knew it on the night we met

You tied a string
Around my heart
So how can I forget you?
With every kiss I know that
This is always

This is always
This is always

This is always
This is always

You tied a string
Around my heart
So how can I forget you?
With every kiss I know
That this is always

I know, I know you belong to somebody new
But tonight you belong to me

Although, although we're apart
You're part of my heart
And tonight You belong to me

Lay down by the stream
How sweet
It will seem Once more Just to dream
In the moonlight

My honey, I know,
I know with the dark that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me

Lay down way down along the stream
How very very sweet
It will seem Once more just to dream
In the silvery moonlight

My honey, I know,
I know with the dark that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just a little old me

Intro:

A primeira vez que eu te encontrei, alimentei a ilusao de serfeliz
Eu era triste, sorri peguei no pinho e cantei
Tantos versos eu fiz em meu peito guardei
Um dia voce partiu, meu pinho emudeceu e a minha voz nagargan- ta morreu

Procuro esquecer a dor, nao sou capaz, meu violao naotoca mais
Eu vivo triste a meditar, nao canto mais, meu consolo

Sing a song of sad young men, glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again, kiss your dreams goodbye
All the sad young men sitting in the bars
Knowing neon lights missing all the stars

All the sad young men drifting through the town
Drinking up the night, trying not to drown
All the sad young men singing in the cold
Trying to forget that they are growing old
All the sad young men choking on their words
Trying to be brave, running from the truth

Autumn turns the leaves to gold, slowly dies the heart
Sad young men are growing old that's the cruelest part
All the sad young men seek a certain smile
Someone they can hold for a little while
Tired little girl does the best she can
Trying to be gay for her sad young man

While the grimy moon watches from up above
All the sad young men play of making love
Misbegotten moon shine for sad young men
May your gentle light guide them home tonight
All the sad young men

Get out of town before it's too late, my love
Get out of town, be good to me please
Why wish me harm? Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm the birds off the trees?

Just disappear, I care for you much too much
And when you are near close to me, dear we touch too much
The times when we meet is so bittersweet
That darling it's getting me down so on your mark, get set, get out of town

Get out of town before it's too late, my love
Get out of town, be good to me please
Why wish me harm? Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm the birds off the trees?

Just disappear, I care for you much too much
And when you're near close to me, dear we touch too much
The times when we meet is so bittersweet that
Darling, it's getting me down so on your mark, get set, get out of town
Get out of town, get out of town

We were married on a rainy day
The sky was yellow and the grass was green
We signed the papers and drove away
I do it for your love

The rooms were musty and the pipes were old
All that winter we shared a cold
And drank all the orange juice that we could hold
I do it for your love

Found a rug in an old junk shop
And I brought it home to you
But on the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue

The sting of reason, the splash of tears
The northern and southern hemispheres
Love emerges and it disappears
I do it for your love, I do it for your love

Found a rug in an old junk shop
And I brought it home to you
But on the way the colors ran
The orange bled the blue

The sting of reason, the splash of tears
The northern and southern hemispheres
Love emerges and it disappears
I do it for your love, I do it for your love
I do it for your love

In this world of ordinary people, extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of overrated pleasures, of underrated treasures
I'm so glad there is you

I live to love, I'll love to live with you beside me
This role so new I'll muddle through with you to guide me

In this world where very many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever I'm glad there is you

I live to love, I'll love to live with you beside me
This role so new I'll muddle through with you to guide me

In this world where very many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
More than ever I'm glad there is you

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same

Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Oh, I do love you

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

You've got this look I can't describe
You make me feel like I'm alive
When everything else is a fade
Without a doubt you're on my side

Heaven has been away too long
Can't find the words to write this song
Oh, your love

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

I have come to understand
The way it is, it's not a secret anymore
'Cause we've been through that before
From tonight I know that you're the only one
I've been confused and in the dark, now I understand

I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
I wonder why it is

I won't let my guard down
For anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands

What a day
Fortune smiled and came my way
Bringing love, I never thought I'd see
I'm so lucky to be me

What a night
Suddenly you came in sight
Looking just the way I'd hoped you'd be
I'm so lucky to be me

I am simply thunderstruck
At this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never dreamed you'd want me too

I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no other girl I'd rather be
I'm so lucky to be me

I use to think it might be fun to be
Anyone else but me
I thought it would be a pleasant surprise
To see life through someone else's eyes

But now that I've found you
I've changed my point of view
And no I wouldn't give a dime to be
Anyone else but me

I am simply thunderstruck
At this change in my luck
Knew at once I wanted you
Never dreamed you'd want me too

I'm so proud
You chose me from all the crowd
There's no other girl I'd rather be
I could laugh out loud
I'm so lucky to be me

Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it,
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Who said that every wish would be heard and answered,
When wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

All of us under its spell,
We know that it's probably magic ............

Have you been half asleep? And have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it,
It's something that I'm s'posed to be .......
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection,

The lovers, the dreamers, and me .........

You moved like honey in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldn't quite discern me

Does that scare you? I'll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You'll remember me like a melody
Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you

And my big secret - Gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
And you'll wonder what it is about me

It's my big secret - Keeping you coming
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts

They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across, like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I'm gone like yesterday
When I'm high like heaven
When I'm strong like music
cause I'm slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood

Something cool
I'd like to order something cool
It's so warm here in town and this heat gets me down
Yes, I'd like something cool

My, it's nice to simply sit and rest awhile
You know it's a shame
I can't think of your name
I remember your smile

I don't ordinarily drink with strangers
I guess I usually drink alone
But you were so awfully nice to ask me
And I'm so terribly far from home

Like my dress I must confess it's very old
But it's simple and neat, it's just right for this heat
Save my furs for the cold
A cigarette, no I don't smoke them as a rule

But I'll have one, it might be fun with something cool

I'd bet you wouldn't imagine that I once had a house
With so many rooms you couldn't count them all
I'll bet that you couldn't imagine I had fifteen different boys
Who would beg and beg to take me to a ball

And I know you couldn't picture me
The time I went to Paris in the fall
And who would think the man that I loved
Was quite so handsome and quite so tall

Well, it's through, it's just a memory I had
One I almost forgot since the weather's so hot
And I'm feeling so bad about a date, oh wait, I'm such a fool
He's just a guy who stopped to buy me something cool

You see this girl, this girl's in love with you
Yes, I'm in love, who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile I can tell we know each other very well
How can I show you that I'm glad I got to know you?

'Cause I've heard some talk, they say you think I'm fine
This girl's in love and what I'd do to make you mine?
Tell me now is it so? Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking, don't let my heart keep breaking

'Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
If not I'll just die

Tell me now is it so? Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking, don't let my heart keep breaking

'Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
If not I'll just die

Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Over time, I've been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
But I have gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you, I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams come true
When I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be overjoyed, over loved, over me
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Oh, over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone, oh
Just to find that I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams come true
When I looked at you

And maybe too if you would believe
You too might be overjoyed, over loved, over me
Yeah, yeah

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know?
For in romance all true love needs is a chance

And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I overjoyed, over loved, over you
Over, over, oh, love, love, love, overjoyed, oh

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber
Oh, the times without number
Darling, when I say to you

Do you love me
As I love you?
Are you my life to be,
My dream come true?
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight?

Like the moon growing dim
On the rim of a hill
In the chill, still of the night

In the still of the night
Of the night

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
skies are bule,
and the dreams that you dare
to
dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
and make up
where the clouds are far
behind me
Where troubles melt
like lemon drops,
away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
bulebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds
fly beyond the rainbow
why oh why can't I?

I used to dream that I'd discover
The perfect lover someday
I knew I'd recognize him
If ever he came 'round my way
I always used to fancy then
He'd be one of those god-like kind of men
With a giant brain and a noble head
Like the heroes bold in the books I read

But along came Bill
Who's not the type at all
You'ld meet him on the street and never notice him
His form and face
His manly grace
Are not the kind that you would find in a statue

And I can't explain
It's surely not his brain that makes me thrill
I love him because he's wonderful
Because he's just my Bill

[Instrumental break]

He's just my Bill
An ordinary boy
He hasn't got a thing that I can brag about
And yet to be
Upon his knee
So comfy and roomy, seems natural to me

And I can't explain
It's surely not his brain that makes me thrill
I love him because he's...

I don't know...

Because he's just my Bill

Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What- though love is old
What- though song is old
Through them we can be young

Hear this heart of mine
Make yours part of mine
Dear one, tell me that we're one

Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

Do I love you, do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you, do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?

Would I miss you, would I
If you ever should go away?
If she sun should desert the day,
What would life be?

Will I leave you never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forever more?

Do I love you, do I?
Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do?
Don't I show you I do,
Just as you love me?

Would I miss you, would I
If you ever should go away?
If she sun should desert the day,
What would life be?

Will I leave you never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you forever?
Isn't heaven forever more?

Do I love you, do I?
Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do?
Don't I show you I do,
Just as you love me?
