Lullaby of Birdland that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel

Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips
when we kiss.

And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

I've an awfully feeling

That this thought that's been a stealin through my brain Is not to be ignored

But to really tell the truth

Though I'm not a well known sleuth

I honestly believe that you are bored

You've changed

That sparkle in your eyes is gone

Your smile is just a careless yawn

You're breaking my heart

You've changed



You've changed

Your kisses now are so blase

You're bored with me in every way

I can't understand

You've changed



You've forgotten the words, "I love you"

Each memory that we've shared

You ignore every star above you

I can't realize you've ever cared

You've changed

You're not the angel I once knew

No need to tell me what we're through

It's all over now

You've changed



You've changed

You're not the angel I once knew

No need to tell me what we're through

It's all over now

Relax, Max
Your nerves are just like jumpin' jacks, Max
Your heart is thumpin' with a crazy sound
Hear it pound
Bumpin', bumpin', bumpin'
Jumpin' up and down

Stay cool, fool
Just take it easy
That's the rule, fool
The evenin' hasn't even started yet
So, my pet
Control yourself, control yourself
Don't get upset

Don't think I'm cold if I say you're too bold
I've been fooled by that moon up above
I want your kiss just as you want my kiss
But a kiss is no kiss without love

So relax, Max
I hate to stop you in your tracks, Max
But first you gotta prove your love to me
When you do
I'll love you, love you, love you
Like you want me to

Don't think I'm cold if I say you're too bold
I've been fooled by that moon up above
I want your kiss just as you want my kiss
But a kiss is no kiss without love

So relax, Max
I hate to stop you in your tracks, Max
But first you gotta prove your love to me
When you do
I'll love you, love you, love you
Like you want me to

Ah, come on, relax, Max
Your nerves are kinda bad there, boy
Hold it
Down, boy
Take it easy, fool
Relax yourself
The evening's young yet
Mmm, come on and relax, Max
Relax yourself

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, 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.


And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,

There comes a moment when my heart must stand alone
On this lonely path Ive chosen
like a house thats not a home
sometimes when I feel Ive had enough
and I feel like giving up
you willed me to be all I can be
now nothing can stop me
I believe in the power that comes
From a world brought together as one
I believe together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I
This is the moment we have dreamed of all our lives
Well be the change we wish from others
Well stand tall for what its right
And in my hearts therell be no doubt
The arms of the world will come reaching out
And embrace me to be all I can be
Now nothing can stop me
I believe in the power that comes
From a world brought together as one
I believe together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I
I believe the time is right now
Stand tall and make the world proud
I believe together we'll fly
I believein the power..
I believe in the power that comes
From a world brought together as one
(Of you and I)
I believe together we'll fly
I believe in the power of you and I
(power)
I believe the time is right now
(Oh you and I)
Stand tall and make the world proud
I believe together we'll fly (Together we'll fly)
I believe in the power of you and I
(I believe in the power of you and I

When I'm in New York City, I go see theater
I love N-Y T-shirts, say they love me too
Ha, ha, and maybe I'll hit the shops on old 5th Avenue
I go sight-seeing, I go see Miss Liberty

Wicked, rent to Legally Blonde
Hairspray, these are my favorite plays
New York, start spreading the news
This is where I'm meant to be

Around there's so much to see
In New York City
May we a'leave it to the "A" train
To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem, yeah

Hurry, get on board, get on board, it's coming
Can't you hear those rails a-thrumming?
All aboard that "A" Train
Soon you'll be on Sugar Hill in Harlem, yeah

Shoes hurting my feet
The cars are passing me by
I'm taking off the wrong streets
I'll never make it on time

Never make it on time
I'm trying to get to you
Something just won't let me through
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Help me, please

'Cause I can swim in a stream
And I can hear the clock chime
'Cause I come in a bad dream
I'll never make it on time

Never make it on time
I'm trying to get to you
Something just won't let me through
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Help me, please

Just to know he's waiting
Makes it more frustrating
But there's a pain
Nothing I can do

It's kind of funny to see
He's always treated me so kind
He's always good to me
I'll never make it on time

I won't make it on time
No way I'll make it on time
I'm really sorry but it just don't look as if
I'm gonna be there on time

I won't make it on time

Days can be sunny
With never a sigh,
Don't need what money
Can buy.
Birds in the tree sing
Their dayful of song.
Why shouldn't we sing
Along?
I'm chipper al the day,
Happy with my lot.
How did I get that way?
Look at what I've got.

I got rhythm,
I got music,
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies
In green pastures,

I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies
In green pastures,
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?

Old man trouble,
I don't mind him
You won't find him
'Round my door
I got starlight,
I got sweet dreams,
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more
Who could ask for anything more?!

Where do I start now?
There's so many things to dream before the morning light
Sending my heart out
What will I see before I open up my eyes
Before the sunrise?

Don't it seem strange how
Dreams just float away?
They leave us with questions
For another day

When the morning comes at last
There's so many thing to do before I lay down
Though it may be overcast
I can see a light that shines right through the darkest cloud
I'm going out

And don't it seems strange how
Time just drifts away?
I leave all the questions
For another day

And don't it seem strange how
Dreams just float away?
They leave us with questions
For another day

And don't it seems strange how
Time just drifts away?
I leave all the questions
For another day
For another day

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends

They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own

Cool my heels when the heat is on
Slow my wheels when it feels so wrong
Fool themselves but they won't fool me
Who else is gonna make them see?

Everything is moving way too fast
There's only one way that I'm gonna last
I've got to cool my heels, cool my heels
I've gotta cool my heels when the heat is on

Cool my heels before I lose control
This devil deal is 'bout to take my soul
It's like the garden and the apple tree
Same old temptation keeps a haunting me

Everybody's got something to say
But I'm the one that's got to pay some day
Unless I cool, cool my heels, cool my heels
Cool my heels when the heat is on

All these cars racing around the corner
Although we know we're fast
I'm not gonna worry about it
I'm gonna let them pass

Cool my heels when the heat is on
Slow my wheels when it feels so wrong
Full themselves but they won't fool me
Who else is gonna make them see?

Everything is moving way too fast
There's only one way that I'm gonna last
I've got to cool my heels, slow my wheels
Cool my heels when the heat is on

Cool my, cool my heels
I've got to cool my heels
Cool my, cool my heels
Got to, got to cool my heels
Cool my heels when the heat is on

Bienvenue dans ma vie
Tout est brillant ici
It's warm inside
My door is open wide
Don't stand outside

You can see from far away
It's the kind of place you'd like to stay
Kick off your shoes
Forget your (?)strike(??)

There's a light on in a heart
Leading to a place
Where you can fall and rest your head
Close your eyes

Welcome to my life
Everything is full of life
Il fait gris dehors
Ne t'inquiète pas mon amour
Plein de couleurs dans mon coeur

You can see from far away
It's the kind of place you'd like to stay
Kick off your shoes
Forget your (?)strike(??)

There's a light on in a heart
Leading to a place
Where you can fall and rest your head
Close your eyes

Welcome to my life

(Beeruu barum barera hum naranaa

Hum oh ooh)

You can see from far away
It's the kind of place you'd like to stay
Kick off your shoes
Forget your (?)strike(??)

There's a light on in a heart
Leading to a place
Where you can fall and rest your head
Close your eyes

(Barum bareera)

You can see from far away
It's the kind of place you'd like to stay
Kick off your shoes
Forget your (?)strike(??)

There's a light on in a heart
Leading to a place
Where we can fall and rest your head
Close your eyes

Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

(Boo barurarara)

Bienvenue dans ma vie

First lady, move me
Tell me of your song
It's sad but true
Touched by the feeling memories I adore

I'm glad I have you
My lady, very first lady
Cherished songs you passed on to
I feel compelled to thank you, dear love

You will remain forever
I wish there was some way to thank you
So I write this song dedicated to you

You will remain forever
I wish there was some way to thank you
So I write this song dedicated to you

Grey skies seem right,
An encore to last night.
Your song played on, on, on
While I fall with the bed.

She wrapped me tight
And said it'll be alright.
Just sleep and the night'll pass on by,
Close your eyes, yeah

'Cause every touch is satisfied,
Every kiss is right on time,
Every time I say I miss you tonight,
Grey skies seem right,
Grey skies seem right.

Laying still on your side
The ache I feel can trust the smile.
The sense you left with me
Is fillin' up my mind
So I close my eyes, yeah

Every touch is satisfied,

Every kiss is right on time,
Every time I say I miss you tonight,
Grey skies seem right.

It's bitter-sweet this pain,
As though I just left you the other day.
I'm going half insane
Talkin' to my bedding for hope again.

'Cause every touch is satisfied,
Every kiss is right on time,
Every time I say I miss you tonight,
Grey skies oh yes
Every touch is satisfied,
Every kiss is right on time,
'Cause every time I say I miss you tonight,
Grey skies seem right,
Grey skies seem right,
Grey skies seem right.
Grey skies seem right.

People come and people go
Don't you think it's best to know
Who you really love?
Who you love, who you love

Questions come and questions go
But don't you think that you should hold on
Who you really love?
Who you love, who you love

Well, you'll try to get what you want
And you will try to get what you want
And you'll try to get what you want
'Til you got what you need, oh

Got myself in to invite
'Cause looking back I could not find
The fella that can be
What I need, what I need, ooh

Tried to lay it on the line
But losing track and killing time
It ain't the way to be, ooh
Way to be, way to be

Well, you will try to want what you have
Well, you will try to want what you have
You'll try to want what you have
'Til you have what you need, oh

Baby, you could be the one
The fella who can give me some more songs
Securing me
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Well, you will try to get what you want
And you will try to get what you want
And you'll try to get what you want
'Til you got what you need, oh

You'll try to want what you have
You'll try to want what you have
You'll try to want what you have
'Til you have what you need, oh

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 blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

One day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where your troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds, they fly
If birds can fly over, over the rainbow, why, then why can't I?

One day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where your troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Oh, somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds, they fly
If birds can fly over the rainbow, why, then why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
