"Reflections"

Long, long ago
I gave my heart away
Wanting love so
And in naïveté
I dreamed, and dreamed, oh
How sweet life seemed
So long ago
With summer every day
How could I know
Some loves need games to play
My world fell flat
When love said, “That’s that”
Love may burn
We live and learn
We find every answer
Out of the blue
Life was serene again
You wanted me
The world turned green again
You held me fast
Love was mine
At last

"Remind Me"

Turn off that charm
I'm through with love for awhile
I'm through and yet, you have a fabulous smile
So if I forget

Remind me
Not to find you so attractive
Remind me
That the world is full of men

When I start to miss you
To touch your hand
To kiss you
Remind me
To count to ten

I had a feeling when I met you
You'd drive me crazy if I let you
But all my efforts to forget you
Remind me I'm in love again

I get my heart, well in hand, and I'm certain
That I can take you, or leave you alone
Then you begin that beguine again
And boom, I give in, again
I have a will made of steel, my friend
But when it seems about to bend

Remind me
Not to mention that I love you
Remind me
To be sorry that we met

Although I adore you
Remind me to ignore you
You're one thing I will regret

So when your charm begins to blind me
I'll simply tie my hands behind me
Don't let me kiss you please, remind me
Unless, my darling, you forget

"Rules Of The Road"

So these are the ropes,
The tricks of the trade,
The rules of the road.

You're one of the dopes
For whom they were made,
The rules of the road.

You follow that kiss and recklessly miss
A bend of the road,
Then suddenly this
The end of the road.

So love is a hoax,
A glittering stream
Of little white lies.

But these are the jokes,
And what if they bring
The tears to your eyes?

Well, love often shows a funny return.
The brighter it glows,
The longer you burn.
And lord only knows
Love has little concern for the fools of the road.

But that's how it goes,
You live and you learn,
The rules of the road.

But that's how it goes,
You live and you learn,
The rules of the road.

And everyone knows that that's how it goes,
The rules of the road.

"Samba Do Avião"

How my heart is singing
I see Rio de Janeiro
My longing, lonely days are ending
Rio, my love, there by the sea
Rio, my love, waiting for me
See the cable cars that sway above
The bay of Guanabara
Tiny sailboats far below
Dance the samba as they go
Shining Rio, there you lie
City of sun, of sea, and sky
Mountains of green rising so high
Four minutes more we’ll be there
At the airport of Galeão

Rio de Janeiro [x4]

Statue of the Savior
With open arms above the yellow sea shore
Sugar loaf in majesty
Climbing from a silver sea
Dark eyed girls who smile at me
City of love and mysteries
Fasten seatbelts, no smoking please
Now we’re descending and everything’s rushing
And now the wheels touch the ground

"Sandy's Smile"

Fate has dealt the cards
Each of us must play
Some cards are worth keeping
Some we throw away

But any time I feel fate’s been unkind
I look across the room
And I’m so glad to find

There is Sandy’s smile
There are Sandy’s eyes
Calm and reassuring
And so wondrous and wise

When I hold her close to me
There is Sandy’s heart
There are all the reasons
I adored her from the start
We just can’t be apart

Now there’s Sandy’s frown
Something must be wrong
I guess I must have hurt her
When I stayed away so long

So I start to leave the room
I stop and turn and then
In a little while
There is Sandy’s smile
Again

"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

"Sentimental Journey"

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories

I got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
I long to hear that: "All aboard!"

Seven, that's the time we leave - at seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track - that moves me back

I never though my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home

"September Song"

When I was a young man
Courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I let the old Earth take a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls

And as time came around
She came my way
As time came around
She came

But, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game

Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you

And the wine dwindles down to a precious brew
September, November
And these few vintage years I'll spend with you
These precious years I'll spend with you

"Shall We Dance"

Drop that long face. Come on. Have your fling.
Why keep nursing the blues?

If you want this old world on a string,
Put on your dancing shoes. Stop wasting time.
Put on your dancing shoes. Watch your spirits climb.

Shall we dance, or keep on moping?
Shall we dance and walk on air?
Shall we give in to despair?
Or shall we dance with never a care?

Life is short. We're growing older.
Don't you be an also ran.
You've got to dance, little lady. Dance, little man.
Dance whenever you can.

"She's Funny That Way"

I'm not much to look at
nothing to see
I’m just glad I'm living
and lucky to be
I've got a woman who’s crazy ‘bout me
She's funny that way

I can't save a dollar
I ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler
She'd live in a tent
I've got that woman crazy ‘bout me
She's funny that way

Though she loves to work
And slave for me everyday
She'd be so much better off
If I went away
But why should I leave her?
Why should I go?
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I've got a woman who’s crazy ‘bout me
She's funny that way

"She's Funny That Way"

I never had nothing
No one to care
That’s why I seem
To have more than my share
I’ve got a woman
Crazy for me
She’s funny that way

I hurt her feelings
Once in a while
Her only answer
Is one little smile
I’ve got a woman
Crazy for me
She’s funny that way

I can see no other way
No better plan
End it all and let her go
To some better man

But I’m only human
A coward at best
I’m more than certain
She’d follow me west
I’ve got a woman
Crazy for me
She’s funny that way

Though she loves to work
And slave for me everyday
She'd be so much better off
If I went away
But why should I leave her?
Why should I go?
I’ve got a woman
Crazy for me
She’s funny that way

"Shine On Your Shoes"

When you feel as low as the bottom of a well
Can’t get out of the mood
Do something to perk yourself up
Change your attitude
Give a tug to your tie
Put a crease in your pants
But if you really wanna feel fine
Give your shoes a shine

When there's a shine on your shoes,
there's a melody in your heart,
With a singable, happy feeling,
What a wonderful way to start to face the world every day
With a "deedle-um-dee-di-di,"
little melody that is making the world go by.

When you walk down the street with a happy-go-lucky beat,
You'll find a lot in what I'm repeating
When there's a shine on your shoes,
there's a melody in your heart
What a wonderful way to start the day

"Silver Bells"

Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may be,
Here is what Christmas time means to me.

City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style.
In the air there's
A feeling of Christmas.

Children laughing, people passing,
Meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.

City street lights,
Even stop lights,
Blink a bright red and green,
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures.

Hear the snow crunch,
See the kids bunch,
This is Santa's big scene,
And above all this bustle you'll hear:

Silver bells, silver bells,
It's Christmas time in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.

"Sing You Sinners"
(feat. John Legend)

All you sinners drop everything
Everything
Let the melody and the harmony ring
Let it ring
Lift arms up to Heaven and sing
Ring-a-ding
Sing you sinners woncha sway n' swing
What a thing

Start with clappin' y'hands all about
All about
Don't be silent - Let the Lord hear y'shout
Shout it out
And jus' let the music come out
Of yr snout
Sing you sinners woncha sway n' swing
Check it out
(Dig the drift of what I mean)

In a world where there's no music
(Old Scratch)
Satan gets his kicks
(He's up to his tricks)
He'll be laughing up and down the banks
(Hee, hee, hee)
Of that river Styx

You're so wicked baby, and you're depraved
You can rave
It's apparent that you have misbehaved
To your grave
But if you should wanna be saved
Jus' behave
Take a listen now to the bird...

Stop all that chewin' yer cud - and all that standin' in the mud there
Swing people! Swing every chortle from yer mortal portal
I dig that everyone believes that all cattle prodigies
Are like a sneeze
Hard blowin'-missin one lick of blowin' talent to show

(If y'sing - y' gotta swing!)

But remember that the day will come when you
Will be just steak on a plate
(Folks, y'know it's fate)
So dig the music of the swing-o-sphere -
(before your swing arrives too late)

That's a little too dark
Still, it's true - we've got breath for such a limited time
What are ya, stupid, ya cows?? - you'd think to sing was a crime

In defense now; hence now; Here's comes Adele McCluck:

Mrs. Mockingbird, I must say you haven't heard
The friendly bellowing swing of our friends the cows -
As they shed their way from Teagarden to Fuller
Instead of spendin' ev'ry day jus' sneakin' around
To life another lick -
These cats work on their cow-tone, so when they get up to blow
They blow a fatter bone-tone into the ozone

(And furthermore...)

You tweety-birds are always singin' away
Never givin' up thought of what you say
We cows do - shedding takes up most of our day
So when we start and settle in to play - we can say
A moo is an array of what we've always known to be
The best and only way to play

(What we mean to say is...)

Before the band will letcha sing
(Sing with Fletcher Henderson)
You've got to get y'self to swing
(Like the Bean or Satch)
So your horn can blow - a single note or two
Of deeper thinking
(That's the way to swing)
So set your mind upon a tone
(When you're shedding all alone)
And you will have a cornerstone
(Like the bass trombone)
Blow your horn and take a bow
So that you're swinging like the cows
Pythagoras would be so proud of us

"Sleepin' Bee"

When you’re in love and you are wonderin’
If he really is the one
There’s an ancient sign sure to tell you
If your search is over and done
Just catch a bee and if he don’t sting you
You’re in a spell that’s just begun
It’s a guarantee ‘til the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won

When a bee lies sleepin' in the palm of your hand,
You're bewitched, and deep in love's long looked-after land.
Where you'll see a sun-up sky with a mornin' moon,
and where the days go laughin' by, as love comes a callin' on you.

Sleep on bee, don't waken, I can't believe what just passed.
She's mine for the takin' I’m so happy at last.
Maybe I dreams, but she seems sweet golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me, that I’ll walk with my feet off the ground
when my one true love, I has found.

"Sleepy Time Gal"

Sleepy time gal you're turning night into day
Sleepy time gal you've danced the evening away
Before each silvery star fades out of sight
Please give me one little kiss then let us whisper goodnight
It's getting late and dear your pillow's waitin'

Sleepy time gal when all your dancing is through
Sleepy time gal I'll find a cottage for you
You'll learn to cook and sew
What's more you'll love it I know
When you're a stay at home, play at home 8 o'clock sleepy time gal

It's getting late and dear your pillow's waiting

"Smile"
(feat. Barbra Streisand & Pinchas Zukerman)

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
