"I Used To Be Color Blind"

I used to be color-blind
But I met you and now I find
There's green in the grass
There's gold in the moon
There's blue in the skies

That semi-circle that was always hangin' about
Is not a storm cloud, it's a rainbow
You brought the colors out

Believe me it's really true
Till I met you I never knew
A setting sun could paint such beautiful skies

I never knew there were such lovely colors
And the big surprise
Is the red in your cheeks
The gold in your hair
The blue in your eyes

"I Walk A Little Faster"

Up Madison, down Park, every day and often after dark
Pretending that we’ll meet
Each time I turn a corner, I walk a little faster
Pretending life is sweet
‘Cause love’s around the corner, I walk a little faster

Can’t begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you’re mine as yet
Rushing toward a face I can’t define as yet
Keep bumping into walls taking lots of falls

But even though I meet at each and every corner
With nothing but disaster
I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer
Build a little stringer castle in the air
And thinking you’ll be there, I walk a little faster

"I Wanna Be Around"
(feat. Bono)

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart as I

A somebody who will swear to be true
As you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn
That mis'ry loves company, wait and see

I mean, I wanna be around to see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine

And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you, like you broke mine

"I Want To Be Happy"

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too

Life's really worth living
When we are mirth-giving
Why can't I give some to you?

When skies are gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too

I'm a very ordinary man
Trying to work out life's happy plan
Doing unto others as I'd like to have them
Doing unto me

Now when I find a very lonely soul
To be kind becomes my only goal
I feel so much better when I tell ‘em my philosophy

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too

Life's really worth living
When we are mirth-giving
Why can't I give some to you?

When skies are gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too
happy, too
happy, too

"I Wish I Were In Love Again"

You don’t know that I felt good
When we up and parted
You don’t know I knocked on wood
Gladly broken hearted
Worrying is through
I sleep all night
Appetite and health restored
You don’t know how much I’m bored

The sleepless nights - the daily fights
The quick toboggan - when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses - and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again

The broken dates - the endless waits
The lovely loving - and the hateful hates
The conversation - with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again

No more pain - no more strain
Now I'm sane - but I would rather be punch - drunk

The pulled out fur - of cat and cur
The fine mismating - of a him and her
I've learned my lesson - but I wish I were
In love again

The furtive sigh - the blackened eye
The words: "I love you - 'til the day I die"
The self deception - that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again

When love congeals - it soon reveals
The faint aroma - of performing seals
The double-crossing - of a pair of heels
I wish I were in love again

No, no more care - no, no despair
Now I'm all there (now) - but I'd rather be punchdrunk

Believe me sir - I much prefer
The classic battle - of a him and her
I don't like quiet - and I wish I were
In love again - in love again - in love again

"I Wished On The Moon"

Every night was long and gloomy, shadows gathered in the air
No one ever listened to me, no one wondered did I care
None in all the world to love me, none to count that stars that hung
Then the moon came out above me and I saw that it was young

I wished on the moon for something I never knew
Wished on the moon for more than I ever knew
A sweeter rose, a softer sky
An April day that would not dance away

I begged of a star to throw me a beam or two
Wished on a star and asked for a dream or two
I looked for ev'ry loveliness, it all came true
I wished on the moon for you

"I Won't Dance"
(with Lady Gaga)

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

You know what?, you're lovely
And so what? I'm lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when we do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, we're not asbestos

And that's why I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
We know that music leads the way to romance,
So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance

"I'll Be Home For Christmas"

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

"I'll Be Seeing You"

I'll be seeing you;
In all the old, familiar places;
That this heart of mine embraces;
All day through.

In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut tree;
The wishing well.

I'll be seeing you;
In every lovely, summer's day;
And everything that's bright and gay;
I'll always think of you that way;
I'll find you in the morning sun;
And when the night is new;
I'll be looking at the moon;
But I'll be seeing you.

"I'll Begin Again"

I'll begin again
I will build my life
I will live to know
I fulfilled my life
I'll begin today
Throw away the past
And the future I build
Will be something that will last
I will take the time
That I have left to live
And I'll give it all
That I have left to give
I will live my days
For my fellow men
And I'll live in praise
Of that moment when
I was able to begin again

I'll begin again
I will change my fate
I will show the world
That it is not too late
I will never stop
While I still have time
'Till I stand at the top
Of the mountain I must climb
I will start anew
I will make amends
And I will make quite certain
That the story ends
On a note of hope
On a strong amen
And I'll thank the world
And remember when
I was able to begin again
I'll begin again!

"I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her"

I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her
And I’ll think of her all the time
Lately I spend my day hearing her turn a phrase
Things I find hard to praise
Right now would be sublime
Oh, the truth is: I’ll only miss her when some stranger laughs
‘Cause its still her laugh my heart hears
Maybe in time, I guess
The longing will grow the slightest bit less
And there will be moments, yes
When it disappears
I’ll bet I forget her completely
In about a hundred years

"I'm A Fool To Want You"

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss a devil has known

Time and time again
I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time
When I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong
I can't get along
Without you

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"

Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame
I wonder if it could be me

I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain

Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain

"I'm Glad There Is You"

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 glad there is you.

I'll 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 many, many play at love,
And hardly stay in love,
I'm glad there is you, more than ever, I'm glad there is you.

"I'm Losing My Mind"

The sun comes up - I think about you
The coffee cup - I think about you
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends - I think about you
I talk to friends - I think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right
I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?

Or am I losing my mind?
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind
Does no one know its like I’m losing my mind?

"I'm Thru With Love"

I have given you my true love
But you love a new love
What am I supposed to do now
With you now
You're through now

You'll be on your merry way
And there's only this to say

I'm through with love,
I'll never fall again,
Said adieu to love,
Don't ever
call again,
For I must have you or no one,
and so I'm through with love.

I've locked my heart,
I'll keep my feelings there.
I have stocked my heart with icy frigid air,
and I mean to care for no one,
because I'm through with love.

Why did you lead me to think you could care?
You didn't need me,
for you had your share
of slaves around you to hound you and swear,
With deep emotion,

Devotion to you.
Goodbye to spring,
and all it meant to me,
It could never bring the things that used to be,
for I must have you or no one,
and so I'm through with love.

"I've Got Five Dollars"

I've got five dollars
I'm in good conditions
and I've got ambition
that belongs to you.
Six shirts and collars
debts beyond endurance
on my life insurance
that belongs to you!
I've got a heart
that must be spurtin'!
Just be certain that I'll be true
Take my five dollars!
Take my shirts and collars!
Take my heart that hollers
’Cause everything I've got belongs to you!

Well, I've got two lips that care for mating
therefore waiting
will not do!
Take my five dollars!
Take my coats and collars!
Take my heart that hollers
’Cause everything I've got belongs to you!

"I've Got Just About Everything"

I’ve got just about everything that I need
To make this life that I lead an enjoyable thing
I’ve got bluebirds and posies and robins and rosies
All kinds of flowers that bloom
All kinds of birds that sing

I’ve got just about everything that I want
To make this Earth that I walk a miraculous place
I’ve got fresh air and sunshine and mountains and may wine
And what is really a boon: I love the human race

When I say just about, just about, just about everything
I mean I must admit: one thing is really missing
Well, I’m not complaining
With or without it I still got what I got
But you could better my life with some of your huggin’ and kissin’
That’s what I’m missin’

Just say those words that I long to hear you say
And then my life will be complete and full to the top
And I’ll share all my treasures, my riches and pleasures
Makin the two of us one
That’s all that need be done

Say you’ll be my own, my one and only one
Then I can say I’ve got everything I need

I’ve got just about everything that it takes
To set the scene and make it a marvelous bit
I’ve got barrels of laughter and hope ever after
And though I don’t like to boast, shucks baby I’ve got “it”

I’ve got just about everything that there is
To make this her’s and his a terrific affair
I’ve got dewdrops and oceans and all kinds of notions
And since I dig you the most I’ve got the urge to share

Thought I’ve got just about, just about, just about everything
I know for sure by now I really need what’s lacking
No doubt about it, living without it I might turn out a slob
At best remain just a blob
So darling won’t you supply it? Come on, let’s try it

I could go on just as I am year after year
Yet with that one thing more I know I’ll reach the divine
That’s to have you and hold you and now that I’ve told you
Please make a positive sign
Saying that you’ll be mine
And we’ll have everything
Oh, how my heart will sing
Then I can say I’ve got everything I need

"I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"

The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
For I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!

What do I care if icicles form?

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
