We are the men who worry of nothing
We are the men who fight without aim
We listen to no one, yet speak of our wisdom
We are the pawns in the game
We're getting older as time goes by
A little older with everyday
We were the children of yesterday
I was a child
Who ran full of laughter
I was a child who lived for today
My eyes full of sunshine
My heart full of smiles
I was a child for a day
Cat Stevens (as was) - Child for a Day

"As Time Goes By"
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.]
You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny.
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

I never thought it would happen With me and the girl from Clapham Out on a windy common That night I ain't forgotten When she dealt out the rations With some or other passions I said you are a lady Perhaps she said I may be Up the Junction by Squeeze (Difford & Tillbrook)

I love you madly

If you could see the happy you and me
I dream about so proudly
You'd know the breath of spring
That makes me sing
My love song so loudly
Good things come to those who wait
So just relax and wait for fate
To let me see the day you'll say to me
I love you, love you madly

Keep that breathless charm.

Heaven please send, to all mankind
Some understanding, and peace of mind
But if its not, askin' too much
Won't you please send me someone to love
I'd show the world, how to get along
Peace will enter, where hate has gone
But if its not, askin' too much
Won't you please send me someone to love
I lay awake at night and see the world so troubled
And my answer's always the same
Unless man, puts an end
To his terrible sins
Well, hate's gonna put the world in a flame
What a shame
Just because, I'm in misery
Well I don't beg for, no sympathy
But if its not, askin' too much
Won't you please send me someone to love.
Please Send Me Someone To Love

All The World
All the world's forgiving the change is all around
And people everywhere have seen the light in what they've found
It's a happy place in the human race
When all our lives are lived forgiving
All the world's for living when love is what you find
Despair and loneliness you've got to leave them far behind
Tell the clouds to go let the feeling show
It's great when life is full of living
Everyone's aware they know to change the world we've got to care
And people all should know should have happened long ago
Or could it be that I just now found out
Life is meant to share and it means the same thing everywhere
Living everyday, helping people on their way
Cause sometimes life gives everyone some doubts
Can I have time? Is it right what I feel?
At times I doubt what I normally know is real
But right now I don't know what to do
And it's all because of you
I could tell you if I knew that you'd believe
As slight and elusive as life sometimes is
Right or wrong as we both know we all can be
I could never have denied that I need you by my side
'Cause without you life don't seem that much to me
I can see an old man cry, it's his time to die
And life no longer gives him any breaks
He hasn't got a home, no one to call his own
Still he tells no one that it is more than he can take
When the time is so unkind, an empty future plays in your mind
When the darkness cries out to you, can you escape it?
What can you do?
All the world's forgetting the hate that filled our hearts
The times of selfish reasoning that keeps all apart
This world was meant to share, let them know you care
By making someone's life worth living
All the world's believing that this feeling's got to stay
till all the world is living
till all the world is giving
till all the world is loving every day.

This is where I want to be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you
The meaning of existence
oh my love

Hey miss lonely , won't you come here soon
Have you been standing on a star-flaked snowdune
Lookin' at the moon
Feelin' pretty funny sayin' what is that?
Hey miss lonely, don't you know, where are you at?

How High the Moon
Somewhere there's music -- how near, how far?
Somewhere there's heaven -- it's where you are.
The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon;
Until you will, how still my heart, how high the moon?

...but Tony Bennett sang this song first:(abridged)
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,
An airline ticket to romantic places,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
A fairground's painted swings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
You came, you saw,
You conquered me.
When you did that to me,
I knew somehow this had to be.
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations.
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you...
These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)

***steenkin roolz reminder***
It's more fun if you don't post the entire lyric, only the relevent verse. I know, I know. Sometimes you just...can't...resist...temptation. I think most have gotten the hang of bolding or coloring the link word or phrase. Great lyrics! Carry on, then...

Didn't it feel good
We were sitting there talking
Or lying there not talking
Didn't it feel good
You dance
with the lady
With the hole in her stocking
Didn't it feel good
Didn't it feel good

Legs
She's got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
She's holdin' leg wonderin' how to feel them.
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
She's my baby, she's my baby,
Yeah, it's alright.

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself-Well...How did I get here?

Baby, do me a favor, keep our business to yourself.
Please, darling, do me a favor, keep our business to yourself.
I don't want you to tell nobody in your family,
And don't mention it to nobody else.
Don't tell your mother,
Don't tell your father,
Don't tell your sister,
Don't mention it to your brother.
Please, darling, keep our business to yourself.
Don't you tell nobody,
And don't mention it to nobody else.

so many ways to understand
one for every woman and every man
been that way since the world began
I hear the drumming of the surf and I have to dance
stepping to the rhythm of circumstance---
making contact ...

One's a two-faced woman
And one's a lying man.

As through this *world you wander
you'll meet lots of funny men
Some will rob you with a six gun
and some with a fountain pen
Yes as through this world you wander
as through this world you roam
you won't never see an outlaw
drive a family from their home

Step up, buddies, and listen to my song
I'll sing it to you right, but you may sing it wrong,
All about a man named Otto Wood,
I can't tell you all, but I wish I could.
He walked in a pawn shop a rainy day,
And with the clerk he had a quarrel, they say.
Pulled out his pistol and he struck him a blow,
And this is the way the story goes.
They put him in the pen, but it done no good,
It wouldn't hold the man they call Otto Wood.
It wasn't very long till he slipped outside,
Drawed a gun on the guard, said, "Take me for a ride."
Second time they caught him was away out west,
In the holdup game, he got shot through the breast.
They brought him back and when he got well,
They locked him down in a dungeon cell.
Otto Wood

She said, I’ll forgive you frankie,
She said, I’ll forgive you not, not
For killin’ my lovin’ son johnny,
He’s the only support that I’ve got,
’cause you shot my man and he was doin’ you wrong.
Well the last time I seen frankie
She was a-sittin’ in a dungeon cell
She would be there moanin’, herself
With no one there to care
She shot her man, a he’d been doin’ her wrong, so wrong

"The billiard sharp who any one catches,
His doom's extremely hard -
He's made to dwell In a dungeon cell
On a spot that's always barred;
And there he plays extravagant matches
In fitless finger-stalls
On a cloth untrue,
With a twisted cue
And elliptical billiard balls!"
G&S: The Mikado

Well they all said Louise was not half bad
It was written on the walls and window shades
And how she'd act a little girl
A deceiver, don't believe her, that's her trade
Sometimes a bottle of perfume
Flowers and maybe some lace
Men brought Louise ten cent trinkets
Their intentions were easily traced
Yes and everybody knew at times she cried
Ah but women like Louise well they get by

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realise that nothing's as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand

My heart have been broken
And all my love's in vain
Because the peoples always told me
That a woman is the glory of a man.
If you whoop her when she needs it
The judge will not let you explain
Because he believes in justice
And a woman is the glory of a man.
I rather be tired out on the desert
or right out in the falling rain
Than to lose my baby
Because she is the glory of a man.
All My Love In Vain

I can turn a gray sky blue.
I can make it rain , whenever I want it to.
Oh, I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand.
I can make a ship sail, uh, on dry land.
But my life is incomplete and I'm so blue. 'Cause I can't get next to you.
I can't get next to you, babe. (Next to you)
I can't get next to you. (I just can't get next you)

Come Sail Away
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
