As long as I'm singin'
There's a bell up in my brain that's ringin'
Makin' a crazy ding dong
And if this band don't desert me
Then there's nothin' in the world can hurt me
As long as i'm singin' my song
Give me trumpets, legato
Put some saxes with 'em
Bones, pizzicato
Gimme rhythm
As long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as i'm singin' my song
As long as I'm singin'

For all we know, we may never meet again
Before you go, make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight, until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know
For all we know, we may never meet again
Before you go, make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight, until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight, tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know

It isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
It isn't the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You're the someone I dreamed I would find
It's the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
It's a feeling so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happening to me
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
We were strangers a moment ago
With a few dreams but nothing to show
The world was a place
With a frown on it's face
And tomorrow was just, I don't know
But the way you make me feel
The moment I am close to you
Makes today seem so unreal
Somehow I can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here?
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me
Is only a dream
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
And it isn't the way that you talk
It isn't the things that you say or do
Make me want you so
It is nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
But never before have I been so sure
You're the someone I dreamed I would find

I'm sitting on top of the world
I'm rolling along
Yes, rolling along
And I'm quitting the blues of the world
I'm singing a song
Yes, singing a song
Glory hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
Hey, par, get ready to call
Just like Humpty Dumpty
I'm going to fall
And I'm sitting on top of the world
I'm rolling along
Rolling along
Don't want any millions
I'm getting my share
I've only got one suit (just one)
That's all I can wear
A bundle of money don't make you feel gay
A sweet little honey is making me say
I'm sitting on top of the world
I'm rolling along
Rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world
I'm singing a song
Yes singing a song
Glory hallelujah, I just phoned the parson
Hey, par, get ready to call

My love and devotion will always be true
Now and forever I live for you
My love and devotion are yours, yours alone
Kiss me beloved, say you're my own
I kiss your lips sweet and tender
They open Heaven's door
Won't you surrender forever more
My love will grow deeper as time passes by
Deep as the ocean and as high as the sky
My love, my devotion are yours till I die

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning

Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a different tune
One that they could croon
As only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and fro
They didn't know just what to use
That is how the blues really began
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues
And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As part of the blues
From a whippoorwill
Out on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
Til it was worn
Into a blue note
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That the southland gave birth to the blues!
Were searching for a different tune
One that they could croon
As only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and fro
They didn't know just what to use

They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies

And from a jail came the wail

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear the unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To write the unwritable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
The reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.
To fight the unbeatable foe

When the willow doesn't bend to the breeze,
And the river doesn't run to the seas,
When the golden grain isn't kissed by the rain.
I will love you till then my love.
When the sunlight doesn't shine from afar,
And the steeple doesn't point to a star.
When the mission bell doesn't ring all is well,
I will love you till then my love.
I will promise you love, never sadness,
Laughter and joy, never tears.
I will bring to you moments of gladness,
And happiness all through the years.
When the valley isn't green in the spring,
And the bluebird doesn't soar on the wing.
When the mountain high doesn't reach to the sky,

I see them bloom, for me and for you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin how do you do?
They're really sayin, I love you
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
