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 me feet do things that they sould do
You know what, you′re lovely you know what, you′re so lovely And you know 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 chairming and you′re gentle Specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn′t purely mental For heaven rest us, I′m not asbestos And that′s why I won′t dance, why sould I?
I won′t dance, how could I? I won′t dance, merçi beacoup
I know that music lead the way to romance So if I hold you in arms I won′t dance
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 me feet do things that they want to do
You know what, you′re so lovely, ring a ding-ding, you′re lovely And you know 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 chairming and you′re gentle Specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn′t purely mental For heaven rest us, I′m not asbestos And that′s why I won′t dance, I won′t dance
I won′t dance, merçi beacoup I know that music lead the way to romance
I need your love so badly, I love you oh, so madly But I don′t stand a ghost of a chance with you I thought at last I had found you but other loves surround you And I don′t stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you′d surrender just for a tender kiss or two You might discover that I′m the lover meant for you And I′d be true
But what′s the good of scheming? I know I must be dreaming ′cause I don′t stand a ghost of a chance with you
What′s the good of scheming? I know I must be dreaming ′cause I don′t stand a ghost of a chance with you
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum, You came along and everything′s startin′ to hum. Still, it′s a real good bet, the best is yet to come. Best is yet to come, and babe, won′t that be fine?
You think you′ve seen the sun, but you ain′t seen it shine a-Wait till the warm-up′s underway Wait till our lips have met And wait till you see that sunshine day You ain′t seen nothin′ yet... The best is yet to come, and babe, won′t it be fine?
Best is yet to come, Come the day you′re mine Come the day you′re mine I′m gonna teach you to fly We′ve only tasted the wine We′re gonna drain the cup dry Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you′ve flown before, but baby, you ain′t left the ground a-Wait till you′re locked in my embrace Wait till I draw you near a-Wait till you see that sunshine place Ain′t nothin′ like it here...
The best is yet to come, and babe, won′t it be fine? The best is yet to come, Come the day you′re mine Come the day you′re mine And you′re gonna be mine...
What can I do to prove it to you that I′m sorry, I didn′t mean to ever be mean to you If I didn′t care I wouldn′t feel like I do, I was so wrong, right or wrong I don′t blame you Why should I take somebody like you and shame you I know that I made you cry and I′m so sorry dear So what can I say dear after I say I′m sorry, Baby I′m so, I′m sorry. got to prove that I′m so sorry I made you cry and I′m so sorry dear, what can I say dear, what can I do What can I say, what can I do after I say I′m sorry
It′s the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal, Yes, the good life, lest you hide all the sadness you feel, You won′t really fall in love ′cause you can′t take the chance, So be honest with yourself, don′t try to fake romance. Yes, the good life, to be free and explore the unknown, Like the heartache when you learn you must face them alone, Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why, Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.
[musical interlude]
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why, Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.
You′ve gotta accent-tcu-ate the positive, eli-my-nate the negative, Latch on to the affirmative, don′t mess with Mister In-between. You gotta spread joy up to the maximum, bring gloom down to the minimum. Have faith or pandemonium′s li′ble to walk upon the scene. To illustrate my last remark, Jonah in the whale, Noah in the Ark, What did theyou do just when everything looked so dark, Man, they said we better Accent-tchu-ate the positive, elim-my-nate the negative, Latch on to the affirmative, don′t mess with Mister In-between, Don′t mess with Mister In-between.
Ain′t she sweet? See her walking down that street. Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain′t she sweet? Ain′t she nice? Look her over once or twice. Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain′t she nice? Just cast an eye in her direction, oh me oh my, ain′t that perfection? Oh I repeat, well, don′t you think that′s kinda neat? Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain′t she sweet? Ain′t she sweet? See her walking down that street. Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain′t she sweet? Ain′t she nice? Look her over once or twice. Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain′t she nice? Just cast an eye in her direction, oh me oh my, ain′t that perfection? Oh I repeat, well, don′t you think that′s kinda neat? Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain′t she sweet?
We′re a couple of swells, We stop at the best hotels, But we prefer the country far away from the city smells
We′re a couple of sports, The pride of the tennis courts, In June, July and August we look cute when we′re dressed in shorts
The Vanderbilts have asked us up for tea, We don′t know how to get there, no sirr-ee
We would drive up the avenue but we haven′t got the price, We would skate up the avenue but there isn′t any ice, We would ride of a bicyle but we haven′t got a bike, So we′ll walk up the avenue, Yes we′ll walk up the avenue, ′Cause to walk up the avenue′s what we′re like.
Wall Street bankers are we, With plenty of currency, We′d open up the safe but we forgot where we put the key
We′re the favourite lads, Of girls in the picture ads, We′d like to tell you who we kissed last night but we can′t be cads
The Vanderbilts are waiting at the club, But how are we to get there, that′s the rub
We would sail up the avenue but we haven′t got a yacht, We would drive up the avenue, but the horse we had was shot, We would ride on a trolley-car, but we haven′t got the fare, So we′ll walk up the avenue, Yes we′ll walk up the avenue, Yes we′ll walk up the avenue ′till we′re there!
Ain′tcha ever coming back, aintcha? Can′t ya see the difference it makes? I′m half myself without your kisses One more night of doing without ′em will drive me crazy Won′tcha make me smile again, won′tcha? Just a word is all that it takes. Your hello will let me know that we′re the same as we used to be, Oh, ain′t cha ever coming back to me?
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah When she walks, she′s like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh (Ooh) But I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her Yes I would give my heart gladly, But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn′t see (doesn′t see) (She just doesn′t see, she never sees me,...)
Olha que coisa mais linda, mas cheia de graça Ela é a menina que vem e que passa Num doce balança a caminho do mar Moça do corpo dourado do sol del Ipanema O seu balançado parece um poema É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly (Aah) Por que tudo é tão triste? Yes I would give my heart gladly, But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall, tan, young, lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn′t see (doesn′t see) (She just doesn′t see, she never sees me,...)
Por causa do amor... She just doesn′t see... Nem olha para mim... She never sees me... Por causa do amor...
How little we know! How much to discover What chemical forces flow from lover to lover! How little we understand what touches off that tingle, That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle.
Who cares to define what chemistry this is? Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is? So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters, How little it matters, how little we know.
(Musical interlude)
How little we understand what touches off that tingle, That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle.
Who cares to define what chemistry this is? Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is? So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters, How little it matters, how little we know. How little we know. How little we know.
Unaccustomed as I am to getting married, I am taking this occasion here to say That me and Adelaide are finally naming the day. Though she knows deep in her heart I′m a phoney and I′m a fake, She wants five children to start, Five′s a difficult point to make, but.. Chorus: Adelaide, Adelaide, ever-loving Adelaide, Is taking a chance on me, Taking a chance I′ll be respectable and nice, Give up cards and dice, and go for shoes and rice, So gentlemen, deal me out, do not try to feel me out, I got no more evenings free (you may scratch me) Since Adelaide, Adelaide, ever loving Adelaide Is taking a chance (talk about your long shot) Taking a chance on me.
After you′ve gone and left me crying, after you′ve gone - there′s no denying You′ll feel blue - you′re gonna be sad You′ve missed the dearest pal that (slickest partner) you ever had There′ll come a time - don′t you forget it (Yeah) There′ll come a time - when you′re gonna regret it Some day when you get lonely Your heart will break like mine - (and) you′ll want me only. After you′ve gone (split) - after you′ve gone away (flown the coop) After we paid - our dues together You should have stayed - through all that nasty weather Someday while you′re feeling badly You′ll need the only one that loves you so madly But I′ll be gone - yes I′ll be gone - to stay Yeah after I′ve gone - after I′ve gone away
Start spreadin′ the news, i′m leavin′ today. I want to be a part of it New York, New York.
These vagabon shoes, are longing to stray, right through the very heart of it, New York, New York.
I want to wake up in a city that doesn′t sleep. And find i′m King of the Hill, Top of the Heap.
These little-town blues, are melting away. I′ll make a brand new start of it in old New York. If I can make it there, i′ll make it anywhere.

New York, New York. I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps. And find i′m A-number-1, top of the list. King of the Hill, A-number-1.
These little town blues, are melting away. I′m gonna make a brand new start of it, in old New York. And, if I can make it there, i′m gonna make it anywhere.
That′s life (that′s life), that′s what all the people say You′re ridin′ high in April, shot down in May But I know I′m gonna change that tune When I′m back on top, back on top in June
I said that′s life (that′s life), and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks stompin′ on a dream But I don′t let it, let it get me down ′cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin′ around
I′ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I′ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race
That′s life (that′s life), I tell you I can′t deny it I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain′t gonna buy it And if I didn′t think it was worth one single try I′d jump right on a big bird and then I′d fly
I′ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king I′ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing Each time I find myself layin′ flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That′s life (that′s life), that′s life and I can′t deny it Many times I thought of cuttin′ out but my heart won′t buy it But if there′s nothin′ shakin′ come this here July I′m gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
A little dream castle, with every dream gone Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn And my heart is heavy, as I gaze upon a cottage for sale. The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay A beautiful garden has withered away Where you planted roses, the weeds seem to say, A cottage for sale From every single window, I see your face But when I reach the window, there′s empty space The key′s in the mailbox, the same as before But no one is waiting for me anymore The end of our story is there on the door, A cottage for sale
The likes of you may never be attracted to the likes of me, But accidents will happen and I′ll be around, And maybe there′ll be no one else but me around. Forevermore may never start, you may ignore my hopeful heart, And chances are not the one to make you fall, But accidents will happen after all. A smile may show it, your eyes may glow Before you know it, I′m sure I′ll know. So if you fall in just that way, oh wouldn′t I be thrilled to hear you say I had a lovely accident today. Your eyes may glow, I′m sure I′ll know.
Again, this couldn′t happen again. This is that once-in-a-lifetime, this is the thrill divine. What′s more, this never happened before, Though I have prayed for a lifetime, That such as you would suddenly be mine Mine to hold as I′m holding you now, and yet, never so near, Mine to have when the now and the here disappear, What matters, dear, for when this doesn′t happen again. We′ll have this moment forever, but never, never again
Hey don′t save your kisses - just pass ′em around You′ll find my reason - is logically sound Who′s gonna know that you past them around A hundred years from today And why crave a penthouse - that′s fit for a queen You′re nearer heaven - on mamma Earth′s green If you had millions - what would they all me One hundred years from today So (Hey) laugh and sing - make love the thing Be happy while you may (′Cause) There′s always one - beneath the sun Who′s bound to make you feel that way The moon is shining - and that′s a (very) good sign Cling to me closer - say (that) you′ll be mine Remember baby we won′t see it shine A hundred years from today, a hundred years from today
Some like a night at the movies, some like a dance or a show Some are content with an evening spent home by the radio Some like to live for the moment, some like to just reminisce But whenever I have an evening to spend. just give me one like this This is a lovely way to spend an evening. can′t think of anything I′d rather do This is a lovely way to spend an evening, can′t think of anyone as lovely as you A casual stroll through a garden. a kiss by a lazy lagoon Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune This is a lovely way to spend an evening I want to save all my nights and spend them with you Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune This is a lovely way to spend an evening I want to save all my nights and spend them with you
The season is upon us now A time for gifts and giving And as the year draws to its close I think about my living The Christmas time when I was young, The magic and the wonder, But colors dull and candles dim, And dark my standing under O little Zachary, shining light You′ve set my soul to dreaming You′ve given back my joy in life And filled me with new meaning A Savior King was born that day, A baby just like you, And as the Magi came with gifts, I come with my gift too That peace on Earth fills up your time, That brotherhood surrounds you. That you may know the warmth of love, And wrap it all around you It′s just a wish, a dream I′m told From days when I was young Merry Christmas, little Zachary Merry Christmas, everyone Merry Christmas, little Zachary Merry Christmas, everyone
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
Today I may not have a thing at all Except for just a dream or two But I’ve got lots of plans for tomorrow And all my tomorrows belong to you
Right now it may not seem like spring at all We’re drifting and the laughs are few But I’ve got rainbows planned for tomorrow And all my tomorrows belong to you
No one knows better than i That luck keeps passing me by ... that’s fate But with you there at my side I’ll soon be turrning the tide ... just wait
As long as I’ve got arms that cling at all It’s you that I’ll be clinging to And all the dreams I dream, beg, or borrow On some bright tomorrow they’ll all come true
When I was seventeen It was a very good year It was a very good year for small town girls And soft summer nights We′d hide from the lights On the village green When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one It was a very good year It was a very good year for city girls Who lived up the stair With all that perfumed hair And it came undone When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five It was a very good year It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls Of independent means We′d ride in limousines Their chauffeurs would drive When I was thirty-five
But now the days are short I′m in the autumn of the year And now I think of my life as vintage wine From fine old kegs From the brim to the dregs And it poured sweet and clear It was a very good year
I was a stranger in the city Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self pity What to do? What to do? What to do? The outlook was decidedly blue But as I walked through the dreary streets alone It turned out to be the luckiest day I′ve known
A foggy day, in London town Had me low, and it had me down I viewed the morning, with much alarm The British Museum, it lost its charm
How long I wondered, could this thing last? But the age of miracles, it hadn′t past For suddenly, I saw you standing right there And in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere
I stand at your gate, and the song that I sing is of moonlight. I stand, and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night. The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade.
The stars are aglow, and tonight, how their light sets me dreaming. My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming? I bring you, and I sing you a moonlight serenade.
Let us stay till break of day in love′s valley of dreams. Just you and I, a summer sky, a heavenly breeze, kiss in the trees.
So don′t let me wait- come to me tenderly in the June night. I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight. A love song, my darling- a moonlight serenade.
Come fly with me let′s fly, let′s fly away If you can use some exotic booze there′s a bar in far Bombay Come fly with me let′s fly, let′s fly away
Come fly with me let′s float down to Peru In llamaland there′s a one man band and he′ll toot his flute for you Come fly with me let′s take off in the blue
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified We′ll just glide starry eyed Once I get you up there I′ll be holding you so near You may hear the angels cheer because we′re together.
Weather-wise it′s such a lovely day Just say the words and we′ll beat those birds down to Acapulco bay It′s perfect for a flying honeymoon they say So come fly with me let′s fly, let′s fly away
(instrumental)
Once I get you up there where the air is rarified We′ll just glide starry eyed Once I get you up there I′ll be holding you so near You may hear all the angels cheer because we′re together
Weather-wise it′s such a lovely day You just say those words and we′ll beat those birds down to Acapulco bay It′s so perfect for a flying honeymoon they say Come fly with me let′s fly, let′s fly Pack up! let′s fly away
Drinkin′ again and thinkin′ of when, when you loved me I′m havin′ a few and wishin′ that you were here
Makin′ the rounds, accepting a round from strangers Bein′ a fool just hopin′ that you′ll appear
Sure, I can borrow a smoke, maybe tell some joker a bad joke But nobody laughs, they don′t laugh at a broken heart
Oh, yeah, I′m drinkin′ again, it′s always the same That same old story After the kicks there′s little old mixed-up me Tryin′ to lose a dream that used to be
Look at me, I′m drinkin′ again, drinkin′ all over town Yeah, I′m drinkin′ again
Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the girl Got my striped tie, got my hopes high Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm, Now all I need′s the girl to go with′em
If she′ll just appear we′ll take this big town for a whirl And if she′ll say "My, darling, I′m yours" I′ll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed All I really need is the girl
Got my tweed pressed, I got my best vest, all I need now is the girl Got my striped tie, got my hopes ′way up high I got the time and the place and the rhythm All I need′s the girl to go with′em
Mm, if she′ll just appear we′ll take this, this great big town for a whirl And if, if she′ll say "My, darlin′, I′m yours" I′ll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed All I real, really need is the girl
My heart is sad and lonely For you I sigh, for you, dear, only Why haven′t you seen it? I′m all for you, body and soul
I spend my days in longin′ And wond′ring why it′s me you′re wrongin′ I tell you, I mean it I′m all for you, body and soul
I can′t believe it, it′s hard to conceive it That you′d turn away romance Are you pretending? It looks like the ending Unless I could have one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you′re making You know I′m yours for just the taking I′d gladly surrender myself to you, body and soul
My life a wreck you′re making You know I′m yours for just the taking I would gladly surrender myself to you, body and soul
they call you lady luck but there is room for doubt at times you have a very unladylike way of running out
you′re on this date with me the pickin′s have been lush and yet before this evening is over you might give me the brush
you might forget your manners you might refuse to stay and so the best that I can do is pray

Now, this could only happen to a guy like me And only happen in a town like this So may I say to each of you, most gratefully As I throw each one of you a kiss
This is my kind of town Chicago is my kind of town Chicago is my kind of people too People who smile at you and
Each time I roam Chicago is calling me home Chicago is why I just grin like a clown It′s my kind of town.
My kind of town, Chicago is my kind of town, Chicago is my kind of raz-ma-taz And it has all that jazz and
Each time I leave, Chicago is tuggin′ my sleeve Chicago is a Wrigley Building Chicago is the Union Stockyard Chicago is one town that won′t let you down It′s my kind of town
You told me it was so, a million dreams ago, You held me in your arms, a million dreams ago. So many dreams have flown, so many nights alone I guess I should have known, it couldn′t be. I′ll lock my mem′ries here in my heart And here in my heart they′ll stay. And through the years, they′ll always be part A part of a lovely day Goodbye, good luck old friend, I′ll smile and just pretend There was no end, a million dreams ago
I like a new Lincoln with all of its class, I like a martini, and third on the glass, I′m gonna start living, you wait and see, Nothing but the best is good enough for me. I like to eat lobster directly from Maine, I like to see bullfights in sunny old Spain, I′m gonna start living, you wait and see, Nothing but the best is good enough for me. Talley ho, off we go, who can wait another day, You and me, out on a spree, let′s get started right away. We′re gonna go charlin′, and have us a fling, We′ll visit a palace, and dine with the king, We′re gonna start living, you wait and see, Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
[musical interlude]
You and me, on a spree, let′s get started right away. We′re a-gonna go charlin′, and have us a fling, We′ll visit a palace, and dine with the king, We′re gonna start living, you wait and see, Nothing but the best is good enough,. Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
The summer wind, came blowin′ in - from across the sea It lingered there, to touch your hair - and walk with me All summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that golden sand Two sweethearts, and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin′ by The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind
The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and gone And still the days, those lonely days - they go on and on And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end My fickle friend, the summer wind
Ya see a pair of laughing eyes, And suddenly you′re sighing sighs. You′re thinkin′ nothin′s wrong, You string along, boy, then SNAP! Those eyes, those sighs - They′re part of the tender trap.
You′re hand in hand beneath the trees, And soon there′s music in the breeze. You′re actin′ kind of smug Until your heart just goes WHAP! Those trees, that breeze - They′re part of the tender trap.
Some starry night, When her kisses make you tingle, She′ll hold you tight And you′ll hate yourself for being single.
And all at once it seems so nice, The folks are throwin′ shoes and rice. You hurry to a spot that′s just a dot on the map. You′re hooked, you′re cooked, You′re caught in the tender trap.
(Musical interlude)
Some starry night, When her kisses make you tingle, She′ll hold you tight And you′ll hate yourself for bein′ single.
And all at once it seems so nice, The folks are throwin′ shoes and rice. You hurry to a spot that′s just a dot on the map. And then you wonder how it all came about, It′s too late now, there′s no gettin′ out - You fell in love, and love is the tender trap.
Adeste fideles, laete triumphantes Venite, venite in Bethlehem. Natum videte, Regem anglelorum Venite adoremus Venite adoremus, venite adoremus, Dominum.
Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem. Come and behold him, born the king of angels, Oh come let us adore him, oh come let us adore him Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord. Sing, choirs of angels, sing with exultations, Sing all ye citizens of heav′n above. Glory to God, in the highest Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be glory giv′n Word of the father, now In flesh appearing
All of me Why not take all of me Can′t you see I′m no good without you Take my lips I wanna lose them Take my arms I′ll never use them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry How can I get on dear without you You took the part that once was my heart So why not take all of me
All of me Why not take all of me Can′t you see I′m just a mess without you Take my lips I wanna lose them Why don′t you take my arms I′ll never use them Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry How can I get along without you You know that you took a part that used to be my heart So why not take all of me
Start spreading the news, I′m leaving today. I want to be a part of it, New York, New York.
These vagabond shoes are longing to stray right through the very heart of it, New York, New York. I wanna wake up in a city that doesn′t sleep and find I′m king of the hill, top of the heap. These little town blues are melting away. I′ll make a brand new start of it in old New York. If I can make it there, I′ll make it anywhere. It′s up to you, New York, New York. New York New York, New York. I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps and find I′m a number one, top of the list. These little town blues are melting away. I′ll make a brand new start of it in old New York. If I can make it there, I′ll make it anywhere. It′s up to you, New York, New York, New York.
Strangers in the night exchanging glances Wond′ring in the night What were the chances we′d be sharing love Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting, Something in your smile was so exciting, Something in my heart, Told me I must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people We were strangers in the night Up to the moment When we said our first hello. Little did we know Love was just a glance away, A warm embracing dance away and -
Ever since that night we′ve been together. Lovers at first sight, in love forever. It turned out so right, For strangers in the night.
(Instrumental Break)
Love was just a glance away, A warm embracing dance away.
Ever since that night we′ve been together. Lovers at first sight, in love forever. It turned out so right, For strangers in the night.
And now, the end is here And so I face the final curtain My friend, I′ll say it clear I′ll state my case, of which I′m certain I′ve lived a life that′s full I traveled each and ev′ry highway And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I′ve had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I′m sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I′ve loved, I′ve laughed and cried I′ve had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way, "Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
You′re just too good to be true I can′t take my eyes off of you You′d be like heaven to touch Oh, I wanna hold you so much At long last love has arrived And I thank God I′m alive You′re just too good to be true I can′t take my eyes off of you
I love you baby, and if it′s quite all right I need you baby, you warm a lonely night I love you baby. Trust in me when I say I love you baby, don′t let me down I pray I love you baby, now that I found you, stay And let me love you, baby let me love you
You′re just too good to be true I can′t take my eyes off of you You′d be like heaven to touch Oh, I wanna hold you so much At long last love has arrived And I thank God I′m alive You′re just too good to be true I can′t take my eyes off of you
I love you baby, and if it′s quite all right I need you baby, you warm a lonely night I love you baby. Trust in me when I say I love you baby, and if it′s quite all right I need you baby, you warm a lonely night I love you baby. Trust in me when I say
