The Candy Man
Who can take a sunrise (who can take a sunrise)
Sprinkle it with dew (sprinkle it with dew)
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man (the Candy Man)
Oh, the Candy Man can (the Candy Man can)
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
(Makes the world taste good)

So we waved our hands as we marched along
and the people smiled as we sang our song
and the world was saved as they listened to the band.
and the Banner-Man held the banner high
he was ten feet tall and he touched the sky
and I wish that I could be a Banner-Man.
Glory
Glory
Glory
listen to the band.
Sing the same old story
ain't it something grand
to be good as you can
like a Banner-Man !
And the drums went Boom as the cornets play
and the tuba "umpa''d" all the way
and the kids and the dogs were laughing as they ran.
And the Banner-Man held the banner high
with an Allelujah in his eye
and I wish that I could be a Banner-Man.
Glory
Glory
Glory...
So we reached the square on the top of the hill
and the music stopped and we stood still
and a few were saved and the people said
Amen
.
Then we all got up and we formed a queue
and the drums went BANG as the trumpets blew
and we marched back down into the town again
Blue Mink

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music , do you?
It goes like this The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Leonard Cohen

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free

(hey!) Wasn’t it yesterday We used to laugh at the wind behind us? Didn’t we run away and hope That time wouldn’t try to find us (didn’t we run) Didn’t we take each other To a place where no one’s ever been? Yeah, I really need you near me tonight ’cause you’ll never take me there again Let me watch you go With the sun in my eyes We’ve seen how love can grow Now we’ll see {for Connie} how it dies If I’ve got to be strong Don’t you know I need to have tonight when you’re gone? ’till you go I need to hold you until the time Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning (mornings where blue and gold and we could feel one another living) Then just walk away (we walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving) We don’t have tomorrow, (there’s no tomorrow here, there’s only love and the time to chase it) But we had yesterday (but yesterday’s gone my love, there’s only now and it’s time to face it) Touch me in the morning... Lyrics: Ron Miller/Michael Masser Artist: Diana Ross More about these lyrics at: WkiConnie - you must have sneaked through a whole in cyberspace while I was still composing ... probably because I spent so long decided what to cut. Anyway, I'll see you with a see. Jx

Tomorrow
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
Away!

When there are grey skies I don't mind the grey skies.
You make them blue, Sonny Boy.
Friends may forsake me, let them all forsake me.
You pull me thru, Sonny Boy.
You're sent from heaven and I know your worth.
You made a heaven for me right here on the earth.
When I'm old and grey, dear, promise you won't stray, dear,
for I love you, Sonny Boy.

Since I still appreciate you, Let's find love while we may. Because I know I'll hate you When you are old and gray. So say you love me here and now, I'll make the most of that. Say you love and trust me, For I know you'll disgust me When you're old and getting fat. An awful debility, A lessened utility, A loss of mobility Is a strong possibility. In all probability I'll lose my virility And you your fertility And desirability, And this liability Of total sterility Will lead to hostility And a sense of futility, So let's act with agility While we still have facility, For we'll soon reach senility And lose the ability. Your teeth will start to go, dear, Your waist will start to spread. In twenty years or so, dear, I'll wish that you were dead. I'll never love you then at all The way I do today. So please remember, When I leave in December, I told you so in May. Tom Lehrer  edit: add link

When your down and troubled
and you need a helping hand
and nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
and you know wherever I am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
to see you again.
Winter, spring , summer, or fall,
all you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend

Ain't no way the Bogeyman can get you,
You can close your eyes, the world is gonna let you,
Your daddy's here and never will forget you,
I will take you home.
I will take you home.
Gonna carry you back home
In my arms.
I will take you home.
Long is the road
We must travel on down.
Short are the legs
That will struggle behind.
I wish I knew for sure
Just where we're bound,
What we will be doin'
And what we're gonna find...

Dance to your daddy ,
My little babby,
Dance to your daddy,
My little lamb!
You shall have a fishy
In a little dishy,
You shall have a fishy
When the boat comes in.
Dance to your daddy,
My little babby,
Dance to your daddy,
My little lamb;
You shall have an apple,
You shall have a plum,
You shall have a rattle-basket,
When your dad comes home.

Three little maids from school are we
Pert as a school-girl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee
Three little maids from school
Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Life is a joke that's just begun
Three little maids from school
Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school
Messrs Gilbert et Sullivan

Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

"Call me irresponsible - call me unreliable Throw in undependable too Do my foolish alibis bore you Well I'm not too clever - I just adore you Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impractical Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue Call me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliable But it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you" ~Frank Sinatra (and Father Steve) Fr Steve has clearly taken our game to heart and is now bursting into song all over the place

It’s time to end my holiday and bid the country a hasty farewell.
So on this gray and melancholy day, I’ll move to a manhattan hotel.
I’ll dispose of my rose-colored chattels and prepare for my share of adventures and battles,
Here on the twenty-seventh floor looking down on the city I hate and adore!
Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York, it spells the thrill of first-nighting.
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel;
they’re making me feel I’m home.
It’s autumn in New York that brings the promise of new love.
Autumn in New York is often mingled with pain.
Dreamers with empty hands may sigh for exotic lands;
It’s autumn in New York; It’s good to live again.

Hands
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken.

Well now, baby meet me in the bottom, bring me my running shoes
Well now, baby meet me in the bottom, bring me my running shoes
Well throw them out the window, won't have time to lose.
When you see me streaking by, please don't be late
When you see me streaking by, please don't be late
Well you runnin', though my life is at stake
Well, I hope you'll see me when I come streaking by
Well, I hope you'll see me when I come streaking by
She got a bad old man, you know I'm too young to die.
Meet me in the Bottom

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand ;
And in a little while,
He'll take my hand ;
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not ;
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

Ain't it the truth.
The poignant message within this lovely song has long been hard wired into the operative biology of almost every English-speaking woman on Earth and hardly needs repeating.
But still, they are beautiful words,  so come on girls, altogether now, a-one, a-two, a-three...Sometimes it's hard to be a woman Giving all your love to just one man You'll have bad times And he'll have good times Doin things that you don't understandBut if you love him You'll forgive him Even though he's hard to understand And if you love him Oh, be proud of him Cause after all he's just a man Stand by your man Give him two arms to cling to And something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely Stand by your man And show the world you love him Keep giving all the love you can Stand by your man STAND BY YOUR MAN

Bound down that long, lonesome highway just as fast as I can fly
Just wanna go to someplace you won't be
I'm movin' on to a new place and hold my head up high
Where no one knows what you done to me
A thousand miles between us now
And still some how
These blues'll track me down
Down that long, lonesome highway just as far as I can go
‘Til I outrun your memory

Going down that long lonesome highway
Bound for the mountains and the plains
Sure ain't nothing here gonna tie me
And I got some friends I'd like to see
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Yes I'm going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way.

Well, it's a long lonesome road
Through the lifetime of a trucker
But me and this here ol' truck
We gonna make it
Well, it's a long lonesome road
And the miles of life are many
But me an' these eighteen wheels
We gonna take it
It's a long way to go
And the road ahead is troubled
But this ol' rig and me
We gonna make it

Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.

I’m sailing right behind.

from all that is in me
i say these words with freedom on my tongue
i give to you all of me
in this crazy world our life has just begun
no one can take that away
it just keeps pouring out
like juice form berries on the vine
nowhere is where i would be
without you with me

Well I can hardly wait
Until I get the sun and your lips both pressing on my skin
Well I can hardly wait
Until I feel that thrill in my heart that starts inside your eyes
And the song in my head that burns so good on my tongue

yeah yeah
Yes I will
yeah yeah
Yes I will

I'm gonna do all the things for you
A girl wants a man to do
Oh, baby
I'll sacrifice for you
I'll even do wrong for you
Oh, baby
Every minute, every hour
I'm gonna shower, you
With love and affection
Look out, it's comin' in your direction
And I'm,
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
Look here,
My love is strong, you see
I know you'll never get tired of me
Oh, baby
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book
I'll try my best to get you hooked
Hey, baby
And every night, every day
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you
Look out boy, 'cause I'm gonna get you
I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
Yes I will
And I'm gonna make you love me
Oh, yes I will
You know I will

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
