Patti Page

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone
I can see it in your eyes,
I can hear it in your sighs
Feel your touch and realize
The thrill is gone.

The nights are cold,
For love is old,
Love was grand when love was new,
Birds were singin', skies were blue,
Now it don't appeal to you..
The thrill is gone.

This is the end,
So why pretend
And let it linger on?
The thrill is gone.

And let it linger on?
The thrill is gone.

Thrill is gone.

I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend
I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole
my sweetheart from me
I remember the night
and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know
just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

I was dancing with my darling
To the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend
I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one
And while they were dancing
My friend stole
my sweetheart from me
I remember the night
and the Tennessee Waltz
Now I know
just how much I have lost
Yes I lost my little darling
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz

We were waltzing together to a dreamy melody

When they called out change partners and you waltzed away from me

Now my arms feel so empty as I gaze around the floor

And I'll keep on changing partners till I hold you once more



Though we danced for one moment

And too soon we had to part

In that wonderful moment something happened to my heart

So I'll keep changing partners till you're in my arms and then

Oh my darlin' I will never change partners again



*repeat

If you're a guy that's had a gal in each and every port
And you've forgot the rules of love that life has always taught
And if you broke as many hearts as ripples in a stream
Well, brother, here's the only way that you can be redeemed

* Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way o'livin', cross over the bridge
Leave you fickle past behind you and true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge

If you have built a boat to take you to the greener side
And if that boat is built of ev'ry lie you ever lied
You'll never reach the Promised Land of love, I guarantee
'cause lies cannot hold water and you'll sink into the sea

*(repeat)

I know it isn't easy to resist temptation's call
But think of how your broken heart will hurt you when you fall
'cause some day you will find that you are hopelessly in love
And she'll belong to someone else as sure as stars above

*(repeat)

Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge

If you''re fond of sand dunes and salty air

Quaint little villages here and there

(You''re sure)You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

(Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod)

If you like the taste of a lobster stew

Served by a window with an ocean view

(You''re sure)You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

Winding roads that seem to beckon you

Miles of green beneath a sky of blue

Church bells chimin'' on a Sunday morn

Remind you of the town where you were born

If you spend an evening you''ll want to stay

Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay

You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

(aah, aah)

If you spend an evening you''ll want to stay (on Cape Cod Bay)

Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay

You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

You''re sure to fall in love

You''re sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

Tra la la
twittle dee dee it
Gives me a trill
to wake up
In the mornin'
to the mockin' birds
Trill tra la la
twittle dee dee
There's peace
and goodwill
You're welcome
as the flowers
On mockin' bird hill
when the sun
In the mornin'
peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses
'round my window
Sill then
my heart fills
With gladness
when I hear the trill
Of the birds
in the tree
Tops on mockin' bird
hill tra la la
Twittle dee dee
it gives me a trill
To wake up
in the mornin'
To the mockin' birds
trill tra la la
Twittle dee dee
there's peace
And goodwill
you're welcome
As the flowers on
mockin' bird hill~

When it's late
in the evening
I climb up the hill
and survey
All my kingdom
while everything's
Still only me
and the sky
And an old whip poor
will singin' songs
In the twilight
on mockin' bird
Hill tra la la
twittle dee dee
It gives me a trill
to wake up
In the mornin'
to the mockin' birds
Trill tra la la
twittle dee dee
There's peace
and goodwill
You're welcome
as the flowers
On mockin'
bird hill~
Tra la la
twittle dee dee
There's peace
and goodwill
You're welcome
as the flowers
On mockin'
bird hill~

How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggily tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale.

I must take a trip to California,
And leave my poor sweetheart alone.
If he has a dog, he won't be lonesome,
And the doggie will have a good home.

How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggily tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale

I read in the papers there are robbers
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark

How much is that doggie in the window?
The one with the waggily tail
How much is that doggie in the window?
I do hope that doggie's for sale

*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

* Repeat

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

* Repeat

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

* Repeat

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