"On The Sunny Side Of The Street"

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear the pit-a-pat?
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid
Because this rover crossed over

And if I never had a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
With gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade

But I'm not afraid
Because this rover crossed over

And if I never had a cent

"Once In A Garden"

Where is the path
That leads back to the past
Back to the garden
Lost in the mist
Where we first kissed
As apple blossoms fell
Like silent snow
To settle on your hair
Sometimes I walk that lonely country lane
By statues wet with rain
And search for it in vain
And yet I always know
As the years come and go
Once in a garden
Summer was new
And I was there with you

"Once Upon A Time"

Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago

Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone

How the breeze ruffled up her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go

Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again

Once upon a time
Never comes again

"One For My Baby"
(feat. John Mayer)

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe, I got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

"Only The Young"

Only the young feel that love is a dream
From which they’ll never waken
Their world is an apple on a tree
Just waiting to be shaken

And only the young
Don’t care what tomorrow may bring
Today is a merry-go-round
With a big, brass ring

We both can stay young as a morning in May
A warm and sunny green time
I’ll hold you and love you every day
They’ll be no in between time

Though years may go by
We’ll look at each other and see
The love lighted faces of only the young
Like you and me

"Out Of This World"

You're clear out of this world
When I am looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew

You're right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was so high
No amoured knight out of a book
Was more enchanted by a laurel life

And I after waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from the long and lonely nighttime
And despite time, here you are

I'd cry out of this world
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you

After waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
And at once from the long and lonely nighttime
And despite time, here you are

I'd cry out of this world
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you

You're clear, out of this world
Out of this world, out of this world

was more enchanted by a Loralei

"Over The Sun"

I dreamed last night of a place
Somehow its over the sun
That land is waiting for us

There is a chance to begin
A life of hope and relief
For everyone is a god

I have found a way
to make the flowers laugh
so they could blink and smile
when we would pass
under the rainbow of her golden sky

I have found a way to voyage
to the land with one embrace
we’ll reach a paradise and
we’ll be met by only happiness

I dreamed last night of a place
Somewhere its over the sun
That land is waiting for us

There is a chance to begin
A life of hope and relief
Where everyone is a god

I dreamed last night of a place
Somehow its over the sun
Over the sun
Over the sun

"Pawnbroker"

One heart to trade or sell
One heart, an empty shell
Perhaps I'll stop in some pawnbrokers shop
And see what he might pay for second hand hearts today
Or old dreams I'll never use
Love songs I'd love to lose
Such worthless things
What scale could measure them
What other fool could be a fool like me and treasure them
Since you're gone I wear you on this heart
How could I pawn this heart that still loves you?

"Pennies From Heaven"

A long time ago
A million years B.C.
The best things in life
Were absolutely free
But no one appreciated
A sky that was always blue
And no one congratulated
A moon that was always new
So it was planned that they would vanish
Now and then
And you must pay before you get them
Back again
That’s what storms were made for
And you shouldn’t be afraid, for…

Every time it rains, it rains
Pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortunes falling all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Just trade them for a package of the sunshine and flowers
‘Cause if you want the things you love
You must have showers
So if you hear it thunder don’t run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

So if you go and hear it thunder don’t run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

"Penthouse Serenade (When We're Alone)"

Just picture a penthouse
Way up in the sky
With hinges on chimneys
For stars to go by
A slice of Heaven
For just you and I
When we’re alone

From all of society
We’ll stay aloof
And live in propriety
There on the roof
To Heaven, we hermits
We will be in truth
When we’re alone

We’ll see life’s mad pattern
As we view Manhattan
Then we can thank our lucky stars
That we’re living as we are

In our little penthouse
We’ll always contrive
To keep love and romance
Forever alive
In view of the Hudson
Just over the drive
When we’re alone

Sunsets in the village
Paintings left unfinished
Twinkling lights in Central Park
Love is waiting for the dark

In our little penthouse
On top of the town
Each evening we’ll stargaze
We’ll never look down
The Heavens are our rooftop
A shimmering crown
When we’re alone

Just you
Just me
We’ll live in harmony
Enjoying each moment
The rest of our lives
When we’re alone

"People"

People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

We're children needing other children
And yet, letting our grown up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children

People
God's children
Were born to be free
To love
All people have a dream
For peace, for security
Let the world fall in love again
Please, please, let our lies not be in vain

Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul says
You were half, now you're whole

No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world

"Play It Again Sam"

Remember the love song you used to play?
The song that you played when I used to sing?
Play it again, Sam
And then you would play it again, Sam

It’s been a few years, Sam
But now and then
I have a few drinks
And remember when

I’d sit here and ask you
To play it again and again, Sam
The first time I heard it
I heard it with her
Sam you remember
How happy we were
Funny what memories
That song seems to stir
So play it for me
In her memory

I’ve nobody else
But myself to blame
For kidding myself
‘Cause they’re all the same
Should be a law
For what her kind of dame
Does to men, Sam

What’s over is over
I always say
I’ll just have a drink
And be on my way
Only came in here to ask you to play it again,
and again, and again, and again, and again,
Sam

"Poor Butterfly"

There's a story told of a little Japanese
Sitting demurely neath the cherry blossom trees
Miss Butterfly her name, a sweet little innocent child was she
Till a fine young American from the sea, to her garden came

They met 'neath the cherry blossoms every day
And he taught her how to love in the American way
To love with a soul was easy to learn
And he sailed away with a promise to return

Poor Butterfly, 'neath the blossoms waiting
Poor Butterfly, for she loved him so
The moments pass into hours, the hours pass into years
And there she smiled through her tears, she murmured low

The moon and I knew that he'd be faithful
She knew he'd come to a by and by
But if he n'er came back, she'd never sigh or cry
She just would die, poor Butterfly

But if he n'er came back, she'd never sigh or cry

"Put On A Happy Face"
(feat. James Taylor)

Gray skies are gonna clear up,
Put on a happy face;
Brush off the clouds and cheer up,
Put on a happy face.

Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy,
It's not your style;
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!

Pick out a pleasant outlook,
Stick out that noble chin;
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look,
Slap on a happy grin!

And spread sunshine all over the place,
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face

And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you'll feel fine

I knew a girl so gloomy
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing

So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face

"Rags To Riches"
(feat. Elton John)

I know I'd go from rages to riches
If you would only say you care
And though my pocket may be empty
I'd be a millionaire

My clothes may still be torn and tattered
But in my heart I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever mattered
It's everything

So open your arms and you'll open the door
To every treasure I'm hoping for
Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine evermore

Must I forever be a begger
Whose golden dreams will not come true
Or will I go from rags to riches
My fate is up to you

[Musical Interlude]

Must I forever be a begger
Whose golden dreams will not come true
Or will I go from rags to riches
My fate is up to you

"Rain, Rain (Don't Go Away)"

Rain, rain, don’t go away
Rain all night and rain all day
Rain, oh rain, stay with me
Keep my tears company

Rain, I’m all alone
Silent room and silent phone
Gentle rain, quiet rain
Soothe my heart, ease my pain

Feelin’ a way that I do
A sunny day would be in vain
When I’m feelin’ so low and so blue
There’s nothing as right as the rain

So rain, rain, don’t go away
Keep on rainin’ soft and gray
Keep my tears company
‘Til my baby comes back to me
