"The Skyscraper Blues"

The Empire State
The RCA
The Chrysler Building so tall
And so grey
When you’re walking down the street
In New York
And you haven’t got a friend in town

Then a funny thing can happen
A funny thing can happen
When you look at all the buildings
All around

A funny thing can happen
A funny thing can happen
If you let those lonely buildings
Get you down

You get the skyscraper blues
The skyscraper blues
You get the feeling
They’re hemming you in

The Empire State
The RCA
The Chrysler Building so tall
And so grey

They’re looming bold and high
Against the cold, grey sky

And a funny thing can happen
A funny thing can happen
If you let those lonely buildings
Get you down

You get the skyscraper blues
The tall building blues
The wind comes whipping ‘round them
With a moan

It’s murder to lose
Those skyscraper blues
When you walk in New York
Alone

A million faces swarm
All around you
You search them for a friendly smile or two

But they’re only empty faces
That surround you
And you know
They’re as lonesome as you

You’ve got the skyscraper blues
The tall building blues
The wind comes whipping 'round you
With a moan

Yes, it’s murder to lose
Those skyscraper blues
When you walk in New York
Alone

"The Summer Knows"

The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed she sheds her clothes,
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows, the summer's wise,
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summertime
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of it all

And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress
It's time to dress
For Fall.

The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed she sheds her clothes,
One last caress
It's time to dress
For Fall.

"The Trolley Song"

With her high-starched collar and her high-top shoes,
And her hair piled high upon her head,
She went to lose a jolly hour on the trolley and found my heart instead.
With my light brown derby and my bright green tie,
I was quite the loneliest of men,
I started to yen so I counted to ten
Then I counted to ten again.

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley,
Ding, ding, ding, ding went the bell,
Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings,
From the moment I saw her I fell.

Chug, chug, chug went the motor,
Bump, bump, bump went the brake,
Thump, thump, thump went my heartstrings,
When she smiled I could feel the car shake.

I tipped my hat and took a seat,
I said I hoped I hadn't stepped upon her feet.
I asked her name, then lost my breath,
She looked so lovely that it scared me half to death.

Buzz, buzz, buzz went the buzzer,
Flop, flop, flop went the wheels,
Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings,
As she started to go then I started to know
How it feels,
When the universe reels.

Stop, stop, stop went my heartstrings,
As I started to leave,
She took hold of my sleeve with her hand,
And as if it were planned.

She stayed on with me
And it was grand just to stand
With her hand holding mine
To the end of the line.

"The Very Thought Of You"
(feat. Paul McCartney)

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

"The Way That I Feel"

This is the way that I do feel
I feel it everywhere I go
I feel just like an engine
That lost its driving wheel

I'm feeling down as a man can feel
Since she said that she don't want me hangin' round
Feel like a tin can just a rusting way out on the dumpin' ground
It sure is hard to stumble down when you ain't got no place to fall
Seems like in this whole world I ain't got no place at all

I'm feeling like a stranger here
I feel like a stranger everywhere
Feel like I like to go back home
But I'm a stranger there

I've tried and tried
To go my way and leave the worried past behind
But every time the sun goes down
That woman stays on my mind

"The Way You Look Tonight"
(feat. Faith Hill)

Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh, but your lovely
With your smile so warm and your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me, but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh, that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it because I, I love you?
Just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight

"Theme From Valley Of The Dolls"

Gotta get off
Gonna get
Have to get off
From this ride

Gotta get hold
Gonna get
Need to get hold
Of my pride

When did I get
Where did I
How was I caught
In this game?

When will I know
Where will I
How will I think
Of my name?

When did I stop feeling sure
Feeling safe
And start wondering why
Wonder why
Is this a dream
Am I here
Where are you
What’s in back of the sky
Why do we cry?

Gotta get off
Gonna get
Out of this
Merry-go-round

Gotta get on
Gonna get
Need to get on
Where I’m bound

When did I get
Where did I
Why am I lost
As a lamb

When will I know
Where will I
How will I learn
Who I am

Is this a dream
Am I here
Where are you
Tell me

When will I know
How will I know
When will I know
Why?

"Then Was Then And Now Is Now"

Then was then
And now is now
Don’t look back
You can’t look back somehow
Sweet was sweet
But not so bitter now
Then was then
And now is now
You forgive
And I will too
Let’s forget
Unhappy times we knew
We’ll come out
All shiny, bright and new
Then was then
And now is now
Now, now we can win
No matter what might have been
Now we can begin again
For then was then
And now is now

"There Will Never Be Another You"

This is our last dance together
Tonight soon will be long ago
And in our moment of parting
This is all I want you to know

There will be many other nights like this,
And I'll be standing here with someone new,
There will be other songs to sing, another fall, another spring,
But there will never be another you.
There will be other lips that I may kiss,
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do,
Yes, I may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
If there will never ever be another you.

"There'll Be Some Changes Made"

For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be in change in me
My walk will be different, my talk and my name
Nothin' about me is going to be the same
I'm goin' to change my way of livin'
If that ain't enough
Then I'll change the way I strut my stuff
Nobody wants you when you're old and gray
There'll be some changes made

"There's A Lull In My Life"

Oh, there’s a lull in my life
Its just a void, an empty space
When you are not in my embrace

Oh, there’s a lull in my life
The moment that you go away
There is no night, there is no day

The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning
Everything stops but that flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning oh, oh

Oh, there’s a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend
I know that you alone can end

The ache in my heart
The call of my arms
The lull in my life

"There's A Small Hotel"

There’s a small hotel
With a wishing well;
I wish that we were there together.
There’s a bridal suite;
One room bright and neat,
Complete for us to share together.
Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple;
Not a sign of people,
Who wants people?
When the steeple bell
Says "Good night, sleep well"
We’ll thank the small hotel.
We’ll creep in our little shell.
And we will thank the small hotel together.

"These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)"

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
Still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin' words
That told you what my heart meant
A fair ground’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 really had to be
The winds of march that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

The smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things
Remind me of you

How strange
How sweet
To find you still
These things are dear to me; they seem to bring you so near to me

The scent of smould'ring leaves the wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you

"They All Laughed"

The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly

They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune

They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?

They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar

Ford and his Lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye."
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie

They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who's got the last laugh now?

The way she wears her hat
The way she sips her tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can't take that away from me

The way her smile just beams,
The way she sings off key,
The way she haunts my dreams,
No, no, they can't take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way she holds her knife
The way we danced till three
The way she changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me!
No, they can't take that away from me!

We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
