Hank Williams Jr. | The American Dream | /h/hank+williams+jr/the+american+dream_20918621.html | Too many lawyers in football
Baseballs gotta few
The pitcher got a million dollars
And the quarterback he got 2
Pitcher threw his arm away
And the quarterback burned his knee
And this they did so they could live the american dream
Now there are some preachers on tv with a suit and a tie and a vest
They want you to send your money to the lord but they give you their address
Cause all of your donations are completely tax free
God bless you all but most of all send your money
Do you really want it?
Do you really need it?
Ya gotta keep on grindin' just ta try ta keep it
Ya got no time for yourself ya got more ba roe jim beam
Your goin' crazy dreamin'
The american dream
Reagan is a cuttin' the budget makin' the democrats scream
Says we gotta control inflation quit spendin' our money on everything
But this years tax increase why its the biggest in history
Round and a round we go where we stop who knows
The american dream
Do you really want it?
Do you really need it?
Ya gotta keep on grindin' just ta try ta keep it
We got no time for ourselves ya got more ba roe jim beam
Your goin' crazy dreamin'
The american dream
Your goin' crazy dreamin'
The american dream
Hail to the chief
He he hell yeah
He he

Hank Williams Jr. | The Cheatin' Hotel | /h/hank+williams+jr/the+cheatin+hotel_21033463.html | When you check in the cheatin' hotel, you'll be back
For another spin at the wheel and a race at the track
They're off and runnin' down at the bar
This is Heather - This is John
They're all down at the cheatin' hotel lookin' for fun
Yea I'm the bartender in here and it's quite a scene
The women get dressed to kill and slip off their rings
Their husbands meet them an hour later
She'll have friends all around the table
And introduce the old man as one of her latest flings
Then they go out on the dance floor
Now there's a new man to sway for
And touch and talk and sip some more red wine
Then the slow dances get much closer
And now's the time for low words
That guy there with your wife's my husband but it's OK
Then I watch all of them leave
Then they share a stare and a squeeze
Now I don't know if it's wrong or right
I'm sure it feels good at the time
But if you keep on playin' this game you'll lose your mind
'Cause they're thinkin' about him or her
Then they feel like a piece of dirt
It's time to check out of the cheatin' hotel and go home for good
We get quite a few attractive lonely wives
They come in the bar together about six forty-five
And sit down and say with their eyes
My friend and I are lookin' for a good time
It don't take long to find a couple of guys at the cheatin' hotel
And then they go out on the dance floor
Now they got a new man to sway for
And touch and talk and sip some more red wine
Then the slow dances get much closer
And now they whisper low words
Are you married, why yes I am but that's OK
And they know it's really not, look at all the trouble they got
If you check in the cheatin' hotel
Somebody somewhere's gonna tell
And you'll be in the room from hell and you can't get away
The light blinks on and off
Bartender last round for us all
Oh they had a mighty hard fall down here at the cheatin' hotel

Hanson | At Christmas | /h/hanson/at+christmas_20064263.html | Snow's falling down as you step out of your car
Presents in your arms and you've traveled far
Someone opens the door with a smile on their face
And you know you've come to the right place
Family nestled by the fire
Christmas hopes to inspire
Loved ones by your side
You know you'll kiss your babies goodnight
At Christmas, Christmas
No matter who you are
How far you've come
This is where you belong
At Christmas
Memories 'round the Christmas tree
Are the sweetest ones that remain with me
It's a comfort deep inside
Though you can't stop the race of time
To know that Christmas will always be
Family nestled by the fire
A Christmas hope will be inspired
Loved ones by your side
You know you'll kiss your baby goodnight
At Christmas, Christmas
No matter who you are or how far you've come
At Christmas
Can't you feel it changin'
Sense the anticipation?
You can tell we're almost there
Precious time we're takin'
Memories we're makin'
There's Christmas in the air
Now this is what Christmas means to me
Being together with your family
And the wise men who have followed that star
To where our baby Jesus lay
Family nestled all around
Baby Jesus asleep so sound
And His star shined so bright
On that very first holy night
At Christmas, Christmas
No matter who you are or how far you've come
this is where you belong
At Christmas, Christmas

But you made everything all right
All right
Baby, you're so fine
Oh, I'm so glad you're mine
Baby, you're so fine

Hanson | Been There Before | /h/hanson/been+there+before_20409693.html | There?s a down town corner
People down town know
And a beat rhythm on the radio
And the girl who listens to a young mans song
On the block I live on
In the place I?m from
Well the young man sitting
On the dock of the bay
He took a long-term trip on a first class plane
Now the whole world listens
To that one mans song
On the block I live on
In the place I?m from
Tell me does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll
Does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart
And soul with the roots of rock and roll
Well the man in black sits
On a screened in porch
Making birthday wishes, 71 almost
You can hear him singing chariot
Swing low
On the block I live on
In the place I know
Tell me does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll
Does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll
Tell me does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll
Does it move you
Does it soothe you
Does it fill your heart and soul with the
Roots of rock and roll
Na na na na na na, I?ve been there before
Na na na na na na, I?ve been there before
Na na na na na na, I?ve been there before

You can listen to it
With a na na na na
Well I?ve been there before
When you can't get through it
You can listen to it
With a na na na na
Well I?ve been there before

Hanson | Christmas Time | /h/hanson/christmas+time_20064265.html | Everything's different
But nothing has changed
Are we going in circles
It's Christmas again
Can't you hear the sleigh bells right?
All our voices unite
And look up to the heavens
See the stars shining bright
Everybody needs a little lovin'
Around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're going to be all right
Do you remember how it used to be
Sitting under the Christmas tree?
In your heart you'll
Find the season
We've been blessed by the children
Black, yellow, and white
They believe in the things
We try to deny
So throw down your weapons
But continue the fight
And let's love one another
On this Holy night
Everybody needs a little lovin'
Around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right
Do you really remember how it used to be
Sitting under the Christmas tree?
In your heard you'll
Find the season
Oh, reach down inside your heart
And see all the love
Oh, in your heart you'll
Find the reason
Everybody needs a little lovin'
Around Christmas time
Somehow you got to know you're gonna be all right
Do you really remember how it used to be
Sitting under the Christmas tree?
In your heart you'll
Find the season

Hanson | Hey | /h/hanson/hey_10140575.html | Hey, you like boots and perfume
Hey, your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
Hey, you want that fine white wine on my dime
What you want from me?
'Cause you're on my mind
Don't you care no more
That you're losing yourself?
Don't you want some truth?
'Cause I'll give you mine
[Chorus]
Hey, when I'm making my movie, baby
You keep saying all my lines
Hey, after Sunset Drive cruising, baby
You're just yesterday's prize
Hey, do, do, do, do, do
You want trips on a white yacht for two
Hey, you want Beverly Heights
Bright lights
Late nights
What you want from me?
'Cause you're on my mind
Don't you care no more
That you're losing yourself?
Don't you want some truth?
'Cause I'll give you mine
[Chorus]
Your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
You want trips on a white yacht for two
Your red pumps and your Cadillac blues
You like boots and expensive perfume

Hanson | I Am | /h/hanson/i+am_20540655.html | Gone stray we find ourselves
Right on the edge of falling apart
Don't you see it's in our ways
When something's done wrong, we just go along
It lights a fire inside of me
Just show me when this living stops
I am father and son
I am all that I fear
I can choose to give up
We could tear the world apart
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
Cut the cord start to breathe
We're living life at frantic speed
Don the suit and ride the steed
With these shackles on you won't come to harm
I could be the worst of these
A sinking ship on the open sea
I am father and son
I am all that I fear
I can choose to give up
We could tear the world apart
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
All on my own I'm trying
To change how you see and what you believe
To fight fire with fire and live eye for eye
We'll all end up blind and burning
Burning, burning
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart

Hanson | I Don't Know | /h/hanson/i+dont+know_20064306.html | I don't know
Well I can't take this any longer
I can't do this anymore
I'm not getting any stronger
I don't know how to feel this anymore
You can tell me what you want
After all that youve done for me
We can make it all undone
But can't you see that
I don't know what to think
And you can tell if I'm dreamin
And I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking
That I don't know what I'm feeling
We just need special breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know
I could search a thousand times before
I'm up against a wall I can't ignore
I wish you didn't feel so good to hold
Cause then it wouldn't be so hard to know
You can tell me what you want
After all that youve done for me
We can make it all undone
But can't you see that
I don't know what to think
And you can tell if I'm dreamin
And I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking
That I don't know what I'm feeling
We just need special breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know
I wish I could tell you
(I wish I could tell you)
That everythings gonna be alright
Cause I just wanna love you
So maybe I could let this go
You can tell me what you want
After all that you mean to me
We can make it all undone
I don't know what to think
And you can tell if I'm dreamin
And I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking
That I don't know what I'm feeling
We just need special breathing
I wish that I could just let this go
But I'm thinking that I don't know

Hanson | I Will Come To You | /h/hanson/i+will+come+to+you_20064225.html | When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh, I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh, I will come to you
Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin'
I will hear your spirit callin'
And I swear I'll be there come what may
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh, I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh, I will come to you
I will come to you
'Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there come what may
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh, I will come to you
We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'
And you need the strength to keep tryin'
I'll reach out and take your hand
I'll reach out and take your hand
Oh, I will come to you
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh, I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me

Hanson | If Only | /h/hanson/if+only_20064278.html | Cause I need you.
Cause I need you.
Every single time I see you
I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I'm ever
Gonna feel this way again
There's a picture
That's hanging at the back of my head
I see it over and over
I want to hold you, love you.
In my arms and then.
I want to need you,
Cause I need to
Be with you 'til the end.
Then I hear myself reply
You've got to hold it in.
This time, tonight.
[Chorus]
If only,
I had the guts to feel this way.
And if only,
You'd look at me and want to stay.
And if only,
I'd take you in my arms and say,
I won't go, 'cause I need you.
Cause I need you
I sit here waiting wondering,
Hoping, gotta make this right.
Cause all I think about
Is your hands, your face,
And all these lonely nights.
There's a feeling, screaming,
In the back of my head.
Saying over and over.
Gonna hold you, love you.
In my arms and then.
Don't want to leave you,
Cause I need to
Be with you 'til the end.
Then I hear myself reply
She'll never let you in.
This time, tonight.
If only,
I had the guts to feel this way.
And if only,
You'd look at me and want to stay.
And if only,
I'd take you in my arms and say,
I won't go, 'cause I need you.
Please don't go, 'cause I need you now.
I want to hear you say,
It'll always be this way.
We'll be hand in hand
For ever night, and ever day.
I want to scream and shout.
Cause I'm losin' any doubt.
Cause all I care about is
You and me, and us, and now.
Oh yeah.
If only,
I had the guts to feel this way.
And if only,
You'd look at me and want to stay.
And if only,
I'd take you in my arms and say,
I won't go, 'cause I need you.
Please don't go.
Cause I need you now, yeah
Cause I need you

Cause I need you now.

Cause I need you
I need you
(if only)
Cause I need you
(if only)
Cause I need you

Hanson | In A Way | /h/hanson/in+a+way_20540654.html | On the third floor of the hotel there's a pregnant Flamenco dancer
In the bathtub with a razor and she's planning her great escape
In a way she's giving up on herself, whoooa
Either way she's giving up some of herself, whoooa
In the backyard there's a small boy playing soldiers with an army ranger
In the front room there's a mother to the small boy,
She's a total stranger
In a way she's giving up on herself, whoooa
Either way she's giving up some of herself, whoooa
Love is only what you give up
Life isn't what you get
Love won't always fill your cup
But life's when you start to live
Life's when you learn to give
When I leave here I'm going to go to the small boy
And that flamenco dancer
Leave the guitar and the spotlight I'm gonna go home to my biggest fans
In a way I'm giving up some of myself, whoooa
In a way isn't that what it's about, whoooa
In a way I'm giving up some of myself, whoooa
Whoooa, oh whoooa, oh whoooa
Isn't that what it's about
Oh, whoooa, oh, whoooa, whoooa, no no noo
Oh, whoooa, oh, whoooa,
Isn't that what it's about
Oh, whoooa, oh, whoooa
Isn't that what it's about

Hanson | Lost Without Each Other | /h/hanson/lost+without+each+other_10140559.html | I ran into your best friend today
Twelve nights since you ran away
I asked about you and she said, can't say, can't say
I'm feeling lonely and it seems to stay
It's been a while since I felt that way
Well, I can tell you there's no room to play this game
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?
Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
'Cause we're lost without each other
I didn't mean to start the last big fight
You never should have hung up that night
All I want to do is make things right
Make it right
Listen, with all the choices that we chose to make
And all the promises we chose to break
We were busy making big mistakes yesterday
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?
Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without
I can tell you one thing
We're not better on our own
I'm tired of running from my feelings
Are you listening?
All I know is what I'm missing
What I'm missing is your kissing
Are you listening?
Don't go, don't go telling me you're all right
There's no room for getting uptight
Don't go saying that you're okay
When you're lonely
Baby, don't go telling me we're over
When you know you're my one and only lover
And I won't go saying that we're okay when we're
Lost without each other
Lost without each other

Hanson | Make It Out Alive | /h/hanson/make+it+out+alive_20881462.html | The more I love you
The more I believe in you
The more I need you
The more I'm needed too
And I surrender
What I thought I knew
The look in your eyes
I know my games are through
'Cos you've been holding on
And I've been holding back
[Chorus]
We may not make it out alive
Whoa
What does it matter if you're here by my side?
We may not make it out alive
What does it matter?
It's just a matter of time
The resignation sneaking up on me
Was I mistaken to let you get to me?
Overtaken in ways I've never known
So please don't break me
We've still got a ways to go
'Cos we're still holding on
Just hoping for the best
[Chorus]
It's just a matter of time
This memories that we've got
Do not amount to much
But I'm so glad that we've got them
We cannot be what we're not
But it's too late to get
Or she'd a tear for the doubt
Oh yeah
We're just holding on
Bracing for the worst
Yeah
Come on girl
[Chorus]
It's just a matter of time
Oh yeah

Hanson | Misery | /h/hanson/misery_10140572.html | This time I won't take you back
Something's come into you
This time I'm gonna breathe a breath
Walking on down the road
I could never promise that you'll never be lonely
But as long as we're together, we can always only be
Misery, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe
Last night I got off the fence
'Cause I won't be the fool
This side the grass is greener than
The garden that I used to grow
Walking on down the road
I could never promise that you'll never be lonely
But as long as we're together, we can always only be
Misery, doe, doe, doe, doe, doe
Misery, misery
I could never promise that you'll never be lonely

I love you more than anything
Than anything, I do.
And I'd give anything and everything
I have just to be with you
These feelings I hold inside are emotions
I cannot hide
These feelings will not subside
I'd give anything when I look into your eyes
I see something special about you
And when I hold your hand
You seem to understand that
[Chorus]
When I think of life without you
It brings me right down to my knees, yeah
'Cause I can't enjoy life without you
You're my strength, the thing that keeps me holding on
[Chorus]
Oh, I'd do things that can't be done
I'd fly to the moon and around the sun, oh
If you just say that I'm the one
I'd do anything, anything, well, well
[Chorus]
I'd give anything
You know I'd do anything for you
I love you more than anything

Hanson | My Own Sweet Time | /h/hanson/my+own+sweet+time_20579405.html | Hello, goodbye my friend
Feels like the start all over again
But I'd rather not pretend
There aren't things still left to mend
Somebody break my fall
I'm slipping down all over again
I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time
I'm taking my own sweet...
Tell me where I begin
You can't deny what's already been
I won't break but I can bend
Shaping the scars that I can't mend
Feel your fingers around my throat
There's nothing but bones beneath my skin
Somebody break my fall
I'm slipping down all over again
I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time
I'm taking my own sweet...
I'm doing it all over, my friend
You know I'd do it all over again
Hello, goodbye my friend
Until we start all over again
Somebody break my fall
I'm slipping down all over again
I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time
I'm taking my own sweet time

Hanson | Need You Now | /h/hanson/need+you+now_20579404.html | Your deep brown eyes
They watch me as I sleep
And long dark hair
That washes over me
Like a ray of sunlight
That warms me as I wake
'Cause I need you now
Nothing ever goes the right way
Got to live life day by day
Hearts will bind you they're there to remind you of
Where you stand
A freckled nose
That nudged me as I sleep
A heart of gold
That holds me as I dream
Tucked away in silence
But wake me when you come
'Cause I need you now
Nothing ever goes the right way
Got to live life day by day
Hearts will bind you they're there to remind you of
Where you stand
I'll never see you home
'Cause then I'd sleep alone
Each morning as I wake
The sun is always brighter when you stay
Oh Ooh

Hanson | Never Let Go | /h/hanson/never+let+go_20287064.html | Just lay down
And let your worries sleep
Don't think now
The water is dark and deep
'Cause you know that I'll love you
And never let go
And you know
That I'll love you forever
I'll love you and never let go
Yes I'll love you and never let go
Just cry out
Yeah I've cried those tears before
I can feel it now
As your teardrops hit the floor
'Cause you know
That I'll love you and never let go
And you know
That I'll love you forever
I'll love you and never let go
Yes I love you and never let go
You don't have to ask me do I love you
As I hold you it says how much I do
I'm yours until forever is through
Anytime I stand for you
I know I'd lay my life down for you
I'll never let
Not ever let go
Just lay down
Put your worried thoughts to bed
As slumber pulls you down
On my shoulder rest your head
'Cause you know
That I love you and never let go
And you know
That I'll love you forever
I'll love you and never let go
Yes I love you and never let go
Never let go never let go
Never let never let go never let go

Hanson | Never Love Again | /h/hanson/never+love+again_20579403.html | Just a simple conversation
But I've memorized each line
The way you hold your head when you're smiling
Gets me every time
Though you take my breath away
There's one thing I have to say
I'll never love again
I tore up all the letters that you wrote me
I packed up all your things
But I can't stop myself from hoping
When the telephone rings
It's funny how I feel this way
And all that's left to say
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
If I had won the world
And angel wings unfurled
And came down by my side
I'd give it all away for just a single day
That I could use to change your mind
So when I see you next time
Please don't cause a fuss
Cause I still haven't told all my friends
About the two of us
All of this is yesterday
And all that there is left to say
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I'll never love again
I will never love again

Hanson | One More | /h/hanson/one+more_20409753.html | I sit here by myself
Just staring into space
I thought I knew you well
Well who can ever say
It seems I've spent so long
I can't define my right from wrong
One more for the night
One more for the pain and
One more, long goodbye
And one shot to the brain
And one more takes the knife
And one more takes the train
Who do I name today
A dream of better days
Was long gone by the way
Is there a better place
Well who can ever say
It seems I've spent so long
I can't define my right from wrong
One more for the night
One more for the pain and
One more, long goodbye
And one shot to the brain
And one more takes the knife
And one more takes the train
Who do I name today
Who do I blame today
Nothing's over 'til it's over
And if it's over I don't
Want to hear it
Look into my eyes I told her
Holding onto what is gone won't heal it
It seems I've spent so long I can't
Define my right from wrong
One more for the night
One more for the pain and
One more, long goodbye
And one shot to the brain
And one more takes the knife
And one more takes the train
Who do I name today
Who do I blame today

Hanson | One Way Ticket | /h/hanson/one+way+ticket_20579402.html | Don't want to fall into belivin nothin
There's enough room for all of you to stay
I don't feel guilty when you say I'm wastin my time
Sittin next door to the girl in the store
She keeps on dreamin with a look in her eye
Everyone believes in the future they've seen in next months magazine
Chorus:
I wanna run with you until I lose control
Don't wanna worry about gettin by
I wanna breathe when I'm breathin
And see what I'm seein
Take a one way ticket tonight
A stock market crash
Mr. Man low on cash
If he hit it big it would make it alright
But he don't remember the last cold December
Or the sun on his face feelin fine
Just lyin on the floor in the room by the door
She shot this life in one too many lines
She needed a good time leave the past behind
She got what she wanted alright
Chorus x2
If anyone comes callin then you can tell them
I'm done with sittin wastin my life
I've packed my bags I'm searchin for something, anything
And I won't be comin back
Chorus
I want to run with you until I lose control
Don't want to worry about getting by
I want to breathe when I'm breathing
Believe it, believe it
Take a one way ticket tonight
I wanna run with you until I lose control
Don't wanna worry about gettin by
I wanna breathe when I'm breathin
And see what I'm seein
Take a one way ticket tonight
Ill take a one way ticket tonight
Ill take a one way ticket tonight
Ill take a one way ticket tonight
Ill take a one way ticket tonight

Hanson | Optimistic | /h/hanson/optimistic_20579401.html | Flies are buzzing round my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some
You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on animal farm
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
I'd really like to help you, man
I'd really like to help you, man
Nervous messed up marionettes
Floating around on a prison ship
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you can try the best you can
If you try the best you can

All you gotta do is just pick me up
You fall on your bottom

[Repeat Chorus]
Well she looks so [?]
She looks me in the eye
You better bring me up
Or I'm gonna cry
I'm saying...

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man -yeah!

You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now.
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.

Hanson | River | /h/hanson/river_20064292.html | Lately we've been talking 'bout who we are
Seems we don't know anymore
And all this time that we've been thinking
At night I've been dreamin' about you
And I know you don't believe me when I say
I'll love you till the end forever and a day
I guess we'll never know
Exactly where this river is gonna flow
And I guess we'll never understand
Until we reach that promised land
So I guess we'll
I guess we'll never know
People say that we're sweethearts
They say nothing in the world could tear us apart
Well, I don't know about you
But this thing we're going through is tearin' me in two
And I know you don't believe me when I say
I'll love you till the end forever and a day

Hanson | Teach Your Children | /h/hanson/teach+your+children_20312735.html | You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good-bye
Teach your children well
Their father's hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick
The one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And know they love you.
And you, of tender years
Don't know the fears
That your elders grew by
So please help them with your youth
They seek the truth
Before they can die.
(Can you hear and do you care
And can't you see we must be free
To teach our children what you believe in
Make a world that we can believe in.)
Teach your parents well
Their children's hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick
The one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And know thay love you
And know thay love you.

Hanson | Weird | /h/hanson/weird_20064245.html | Isn't it weird?
Isn't it strange?
Even though we're just two strangers on this runaway train
We're both trying to find a place in the sun
We've lived in the shadows, but doesn't everyone?
Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes?
Weird, oh ho
Isn't it hard
Standing in the rain?
You're on the verge of going crazy and your heart's in pain
No one can hear, but you're screaming so loud
You feel like you're all alone in a faceless crowd
Isn't it strange how we all get a little bit weird sometimes?
Sitting on the side
Waiting for a sign
Hoping that my luck will change
Reaching for a hand that can understand someone who feels the same
When you live in a cookie-cutter world, being different is a sin
So you don't stand out
But you don't fit in
Weird, whoa, oh
Sitting on the side
Waiting for a sign
Hoping that my luck will change
Oh ho
Reaching for a hand that can understand someone who feels the same
When you live in a cookie cutter world if you're different you can't win
So you don't stand out and you don't fit in
Oh, isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird?
Strange, how we all get a little bit
Strange, how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes
Oh, just a little bit weird sometimes

I wish that I was there1, I wish that I was there
When you're not here, I wish that I was there
I wish that I was there, I wish that I was there
When you're not here, I wish that I was there

Now I'm coming 'round again
I was calling
'Cause without you it's the end
I just want to see you a little more
I just want to be with you some more

And you make me feel
Won't you take me when you're not here?
It's been raining here
And I just want you to be near
I just want to see you a little more
I just want to dream of you some more
I just want to see you a little more
I just want to be with you some more

Just wondering why
It was a sunny day but you brought all the rain
You got me wondering why

And what'd ya look ashamed about,
Always on downer,that just sounds like you.
And your waiting for some things to jump out of that tree,
(Haven't got a clue about the next bit) I'm so green,
I've got to be seen to believe.
I had to ask mister fix it,
Everybody on this stagecoach likes robbin' an' bashin'
Big blacks and blonds smokin' miles and miles of hash,
That's sweet,
The bigger the tree the better the time.
Yeah I can see now, how your looking for someone still,
A lot more funkier,a lot more oh,
Well that's the way it seems is what the way you are.
(Don't know this bit), and a roof drops in,
And said hello goodbyes and a few months later your mine,
At this rate even sooner,
Still a lot more funkier, still a lot more you.

Harry Belafonte | Danny Boy | /h/harry+belafonte/danny+boy_20810147.html | Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

Oh I never knew that I have to leave you to understand
Just how much I miss the gallant Citadel,
Where days long ago, brave men served this country well.
Where sun is bright, or evening with soft moonlight
Shading tree, Creole maiden for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play, yes we'll always be this way
Haiti Cherie, now I've returned to your soil so dear
Let me hear again, the things that give music to my ear.
The lone shepherd's horn that welcomes the rising morn
When roads overflow as crowds to Iron market go.
Where sun is bright, or evening with soft moonlight
Shading tree, Creole maiden for company
A gentle breeze, a warm caress if you please
Work, laughter and play, yes we'll always be this way

Save my love for sorrow

Come and give me your tomorrow
If I worked my hands in wood
Would you still love me?
Answer me babe, "Yes, I would
I'll put you above me"
If I were a miller
At a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your color box
And your soft shoe shining?
Save my love through loneliness
I'll save my love for sorrow
I've given you my onliness
Come and give me your tomorrow

And you are a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?

What lives and grows without rain?
What brings a smile that lasts for a little while
That makes me cry without shame?
How can you please me then torture
And tease me and do it in the name of love?
Don't you know how to be nice?
You'd leave me without thinking twice
Your wall has an oven when you want a little lovin'
And you go from fire to ice
How can you please me then torture
And tease me and do it in the name of love?
I'm comin', I'm a goin', is it rainin' or snowin'?
I got no way of knowin' your mind
You make me rise and fall
You make me stumble and crawl
So baby, get with it, you might as well admit it
Don't love your daddy at all
Cause how can you please me then torture
And tease me and do it in the name of love?
You make me rise and fall
You make me stumble and crawl
So baby, get with it, you might as well admit it
Don't love your daddy at all
Cause how can you please me then torture
And tease me and do it in the name of love?
Do it in the name of love, do it in the name of love

Harry Belafonte | Jamaica Farewell | /h/harry+belafonte/jamaica+farewell_20579177.html | JAMAICA FAREWELL
Harry Belafonte
Down the bay where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
Down the market you can hear
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year
Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls sway to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

Harry Belafonte | Mary's Boy Child | /h/harry+belafonte/marys+boy+child_20264172.html | Long time ago in Bethlehem,
So the Holy Bible say,
Mary's boy child, Jesus Christ,
Was born on Christmas day,
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
A newborn King today,
And man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas day.
Trumpets sound and angels sing,
Listen to what they say,
That Man will live forevermore,
Because of Christmas day.
(Verse 1)
While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
They saw a bright new shining star,
They heard a choir sing,
The music seemed to come from afar,
(Verse 2)
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary,
Come to bethlehem that night,
They found no place to bear her child,
Not a single room was in sight.
(Verse 3)
By and by, they find a little nook,
In a stable all forlorn,
And in a manger cold and dark,
Mary's litlle Boy was born!

Harry Belafonte | Out De Fire | /h/harry+belafonte/out+de+fire_21063626.html | Long time ago in Trinidad
Happen such a thing to make you sad
Had a big fire where they make the rum
For miles around all the people come
And they shouting
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
A little old woman past eighty eight
Running in the fire thru the burning gate
Before you could beat on a funeral drum
She was rollin' out a peck o' rum
And she singing
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
The way de woman runnin' into the flame
Man you would think was a Carnival game
I Tell you friends it was a sight to see
I never had known such bravery
And she screaming
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
The way de woman runnin' with a bucket and line
Man she was working overtime
She work up her sweat and never complain
She was drinking rum and prayin' for rain
And she singing
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
You could see the fire way down the road
Everybody waited for the thing to explode
The distillery burnt down to the ground
Not a single drop of rum could be found
And they singing
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Although it all happened a long time ago
There is one thing that I don't know
She was eighty eight there is no doubt
How she get all the rum in she mouth
And she singing
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there
Out the fire down there

Harry Belafonte | Shame And Scandal | /h/harry+belafonte/shame+and+scandal_21011925.html | In Trinidad there was a family
With much confusion as you will see.
There was a Mama and a Papa and a boy who was grown,
He wanted to marry a wife by his own.
He met a young girl, who suited him nice.
He went to his Papa to ask his advice.
His Papa said: Son, I have to say no,
That girl is your sister, but your Mama don't know!
Woe is me. Shame and scandal in the family!
Woe, it worries me. Shame and scandal in the family!
A week went by, the summer came down,
Soon another girl on the island he found.
He went to his Papa to name the day.
His Papa shook his head and this time he did say:
You can't marry this girl, have to say no,
That girl is your aunty, but your granny don't know! Hey!
Woe is me. Shame and scandal in the family!
Woe, it worries me. Shame and scandal in the family!
Now he went to his Mama, covered his head,
And told his Mama what his Papa had said.
His Mama, she laughed, she said: Go, son, go!
Your Daddy ain't your Daddy, but your Daddy don't know!

Harry Belafonte | Skin To Skin | /h/harry+belafonte/skin+to+skin_20229061.html | She does not lazy dance
Her hands on me
She does not talk, no pretty talk
She pleasures silently
But with her, I am summer
I warm easy to her heart
She fill me full, she fill me full
She make me complete
Skin to skin
Skin to skin
No cold wind blow on me
No cold wind blow on me
Skin to skin
Skin to skin
The light, it shine on me
The light it shine on me
He is a secret soldier
With pieces inside broke
He hides in his own darkness
His fire has no smoke
And, when my body songs begin
When he holds me tight
He chases all my shadows
And I burn so bright
Skin to skin
Skin to skin
No cold wind blow on me
No cold wind blow on me
Skin to skin
Skin to skin
The light, it shine on me
The light, it shine one me
Winter inside of me
Ice to fight the storm
She cannot see
What I hide in me
I can't be strong
Beside her warm
Skin to skin (She's too close)
Skin to skin (much too close)
No cold wind blow on me (she's got a hold on me)
No cold wind blow on me (she's got a hold on me)
Skin to skin (She touches soft)
Skin to skin (ah, much too soft)
The light, it shines on me (her fire is burning me)
The light, it shines on me (her fire is burning me)
Skin to skin (she's too close)
Skin to skin (ah,much too close)
No cold wind blow on me (she's got a hold on me)

Harry Belafonte | Summertime Love | /h/harry+belafonte/summertime+love_20826883.html | Many times I've been told by the wise and the old
Something good I'm supposed to remember
If my first love I'll found in, in the warm of July
It'll cool in the, in the nip of September
Now they point to the skies
To the old and wise
And they speak of a chill in the air
But I don't care
Oh, still I love my summertime love
Still I love the kissing and the codding
Still I love my summertime love
With a heart still summertime true
Still I love my summertime love
Still I want her walking close beside me
Still I love my summertime love
Let the seasons change as they do
Oh, still I love my summertime love
Still I love the kissing and the codding
Still I love my summertime love
With a heart still summertime true

Harry Belafonte | The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face | /h/harry+belafonte/the+first+time+ever+i+saw+your+face_20200717.html | The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command
The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'till the end of time my love
And would last 'till the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies

Harry Belafonte | Try To Remember | /h/harry+belafonte/try+to+remember_20329158.html | Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh
so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember and if you remember
then follow
follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember
then follow
follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart will hollow.
Deep in December
it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow
follow.

The sea will wash against the rock

The wind will blow against the stone

Patience gentlemen, we move closer every day
Patience gentlemen, the stone will soon give way
We are the wave,

Its the law of earth and skies
The tide will rise, the tide will rise
Its as natural as day to night
As day to night, day to night
As natural as black and white
Black and white, black and white
Patience gentlemen, the flower can grow up through the stone
Patience gentlemen, its a truth that we have always known
We are the wave,

Harry Connick, Jr. | A Moment With Me | /h/harry+connick+jr/a+moment+with+me_20064411.html | You choose drawn curtains instead of light
Your airy demeanor becomes polite
All the things you adore don't mean all that much anymore
Well there's really no mystery
You just need someone to listen
So come and spend a moment with me
It isn't so easy to walk alone
Especially knowing you're on your own
The secret you've kept so well is much better with someone to tell
We can speak confidentially
I'll tell you what you've been missing
Come and spend a moment with me
You feel your heartache as bad as it's been
It's finally beaten you down
You don't want to partake but you want to win
And there's no other party in town
It's much too early to say goodnight
Just one more moment and you just might
See that a moment with me is more than you thought it could be
We don't have to make history
We can start with some kisses
Come and spend a moment with me

I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
They won't mean a think, if you're not here with me
I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas

Harry Connick, Jr. | Blue Light, Red Light | /h/harry+connick+jr/blue+light+red+light_10140677.html | I live in a tiny closet
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
A mouse, a hole, and a trap
I don't worry about the flights
Or count the stairs
'cause I know
Someone's there
I took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there's clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don't worry about the ride
Or the subway fare
'cause I know
Someone's there
One day we'll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on a tree
We'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level
Or if the ceiling falls in
Haunted by the devil
And ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned
Why should I care
No place I'd go alone would compare
'cause I know
You're there

Once I wore my apron low
Once I wore my apron low
Once I wore my apron low
I couldn't keep you from my door
What oh what will mama say
What oh what will mama say
What oh what will mama say
When she learns I've gone astray
I love my mama and papa too
I love my mama and papa too
I love my mama and papa too
See what I get for lovin' you
Now I wear my apron high
Now I wear my apron high
Now I wear my apron high
You pass my door you walk on by

Pay no attention to what's said
Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream
It's over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you heard
Baby, I haven't a chance
True I've been seen
With someone new
That doesn't mean
I've been untrue
While we're apart
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
Baby, you never will

Harry Connick, Jr. | Easy For You To Say | /h/harry+connick+jr/easy+for+you+to+say_20064417.html | The sentimental sun in his teary sky
Says he doesn't want to shine today
You tell me to imagine myself with another lover
That's easy for you to say
The April that I knew with her cool soft rain
Has turned into a flowerless May
You tell me to go on with my life as if nothing's happened
That's easy for you to say
Maybe I should quote the letters that you wrote
I was your Mr. Right, if you recall
You tell me not to do it, but you're not going through it
I guess I'm not so right after all
The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
That's easy for you to say
The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea

It's all so easy for you to say

He said "You don't slow down
You're gonna end up dead"
I remember what my brother said
He said "You're runnin blind
Like a bird flyin' into the sun"... Yeah
They might be older than me
But the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see
Old man with a new brown bag
Washed away his home
Hung over the nag
Threw the ring in the river
At the end of the street
Then he laid on down in the park
With the bag at his feet... Yeah
He might think he's really free
But the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see
All... All ya'll
Try to push it further
Than you think your life is worth
Or you'll get nowhere
Spendin' all your time with the devil
Grind... Your mind
'Stead of sittin home
Lyin' in your bed
Sayin you just don't care... Well...
Big Daddy from the back of the cell
Said "You want to last
You gotta run like hell"
But Big Daddy must been runnin' slow
He told me the view's real good
From the top of the rope... Yeah
It's overcast with an ill decree
And the eyes of the seeker
Are the ones that see

I could be anywhere
I don't care
There's a whole lotta hard workin people
That could take my place
And it's easy to leave
When nobody knows your face
Just close your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony
I came up in new orleans
Fixin what I could find
To peace my mind
I gave what I had to the winners
Just to get along
But it's really hard to sing
When nobody hears your song
Just close your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony
I thought I learned from getting burned
I bought a suit of armor and a silver cane
I found a little man who'd be proud of me
But he had to get up early
And I had to get back to my pain
I guess I'll keep on livin
One day they'll ask for me
I'll be free
And if there's a heaven
I'll be ready for my life to begin
But I wonder if I call
If they're gonna let me in
Open your eyes
You can hear me in the harmony

Harry Connick, Jr. | Heart Beyond Repair | /h/harry+connick+jr/heart+beyond+repair_20064448.html | Pieces of a hole,
Unrequited, not renowned.
Never sought and never found.
Through blood,
Through soul.
Now unfamiliar
Feelings of good being,
Are light that's not worth seeing.
Through blood,
Through soul.
Restless and distorted
Thoughts that underscore my night,
Being wrong and seeing right.
Through blood,
Through soul.
Heart beyond repair,
All the edges worn and frayed
Magnifying love betrayed.
Through blood,
Through soul.

He never looks mean
Even when the sun comes in between
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
She's there in the evening
She never comes late
All day she spins around
But never makes him wait
The girl in the world is smiling
'cause she's in love
The girl in the world is smiling
'cause she's in love with the man in the moon
When two heavenly bodies glow
All the stars agree
A planet might be born
Maybe even a galaxy
And in the morning
They don't say good-bye
But with a kiss
They blend into the sky
Oh, they're smiling
'cause they're in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world
Heavenly!

I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view

That they know about, oh, no
Oh, no I really don't care to know
'Cause when it comes to Santa Claus
And presents 'round the tree
No one I know could ever get jump on me
I'm gonna be the first one
Up on Christmas morning
I'm gonna be the first one
Up on Christmas day
I've always heard that the
Early birdie catches all the worms
But worms ain't for me, no
They're not my cup of tea
And I am certainly not a birdie
Me, I'd rather sleep 'til three
'Cause when it comes to Santa Claus
And presents 'round the tree
No one I know could ever get jump on me

Harry Connick, Jr. | Imagination | /h/harry+connick+jr/imagination_20064381.html | Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do
Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh well
Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can't imagine that you want me too

Harry Connick, Jr. | It Had To Be You | /h/harry+connick+jr/it+had+to+be+you_20314485.html | It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who could make me be true
Could make me be blue or even be glad
Just to be sad just thinking of you
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Harry Connick, Jr. | It's Alright With Me | /h/harry+connick+jr/its+alright+with+me_20064467.html | It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not her face but it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile but it's such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright with me

A lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five
And ten glistening
Once again
With candy canes
And silver lanes aglow
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight
To see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair
Of hop along boots
And a pistol
That shoots
Is the wish
Of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk
And will go for a walk
Is the hope
Of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad
Can hardly
Wait for school
To start again
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree
In the Grand Hotel
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind
That doesn't mind the snow
It's beginning to look
A lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing
That will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

It's the most wonderful time
It's The most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year

Harry Connick, Jr. | I've Got A Great Idea | /h/harry+connick+jr/ive+got+a+great+idea_20064466.html | I've got a great idea
And wouldn't you like to know
You probably can't bear it
So I guess I'll have to share it
I thought of it a moment ago
It starts with your hand in mine
And next comes a little stroll
You probably won't buy it
But I'm trying to keep it quiet
So please don't tell a soul
'cause if you do
The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go you'll hear me say
I could have been a decent match for edison
Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'cause my idea's no good for three
My idea is you and me

Harry Connick, Jr. | Jingle Bells | /h/harry+connick+jr/jingle+bells_10140718.html | Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
[Chorus]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And we all got upset
[Chorus]
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie
But quickly drove away
Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack!
You'll take the lead

Harry Connick, Jr. | Junco Partner | /h/harry+connick+jr/junco+partner_20225026.html | Down the road, come a junco partner
He was loaded as could be
He was knocked-out, knocked-out loaded
And he was singin' this song to me
Six months, he said ain't no sentence
One year, ain't no time
They've got boys locked up in Angola, well
Servin' one year to ninety-nine
If I had a million dollars
Let me tell you what I'd do
I would buy (buy buy buy) the land around Angola
And plant a nice weed garden 'til the year 2002
I want whiskey whiskey whiskey when I'm thirsty
I want water when I'm dry
I want my lover when I'm lonely
Give me a little heroin before I die
Throw in a little cocaine before I die
On the side

Harry Connick, Jr. | Just Kiss Me | /h/harry+connick+jr/just+kiss+me_20064405.html | Just kiss me
And forget all about that other stuff
Kiss me
Your big red lips, I think, will be enough
Don't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anyway
My lips are your color
So lips, stick with me!
Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me
Kiss me
And I'll take your lips to paradise
Kiss me
And paradise will never feel so nice
You're beautiful
You don't need all that make up
And you don't need to take up
All of your time in front of the mirror
Don't you know that you're my deara
Baby, can't you see we're in love
Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me
Kiss me
And put all the stars back in the sky
Kiss me
And maybe then you'll know the reason why
I want you
And my love's gonna haunt you
And I'm gonna flaunt you
In front of all the boys that live on my street
And they're gonna be jealous 'cause you're so sweet
Do you think I should repeat
Do you think I should repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Aw, say it, man!
I'm in love
Love
I'm in love
I'm in love
Sweet love

Harry Connick, Jr. | Little Farley | /h/harry+connick+jr/little+farley_20064441.html | Little Farley
Why you hangin' out so long
I can tell by the people
You're runnin' with
That you're singin' a different song
Little Farley
What you hidin' in your drawer
Don't you know that I know what you're doin'
And it ain't worth dyin' for
Little Farley
Why you takin' that to school
Livin' out your life in Angola
Really don't sound too cool
Little Farley
Why you want to take a life
That little girl they laid to rest today
She coulda been your wife
Little Farley
You know that don't belong to you
What you took in less than a minute
Mighta took him a month or two
Little Farley
A boy don't have to be a man
If you can't decide what you want to be
Then I'm tellin' you no one can
Little Farley
Think about it...

Harry Connick, Jr. | More | /h/harry+connick+jr/more_10140731.html | More
Than the greatest love the world
Has known
This
Is the love I'll give to you
Alone.
More
Than the simple words
I've tried to say,
I'll only live to love you
More each day.
More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.
Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.
More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.
Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.

Harry Connick, Jr. | My Prayer | /h/harry+connick+jr/my+prayer_10140739.html | My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day
In a dream that's divine...
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away
And your lips close to mine.
Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know...
My prayer and the answer you give,
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer
When the twilight is gone
And no songbird is singing
When the twilight is gone
You come into my heart
And here in my heart do you stay
While I pray
Tonight, while our hearts are aglow,
Oh, tell me the words that I'm longing to know...
My prayer and the answer you give,
May they still be the same for as long as we live,
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

Harry Connick, Jr. | Never Young | /h/harry+connick+jr/never+young_20064443.html | I wish you could have lived my life
No way to know
The fun I had
I ride in limousines
But it means nothing
I roll down the tinted glass
To see outside
I like to see how much I pass
On my roller coaster ride
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
I wish you could have been right there
My future was the end of time
And all the girls I needed
Never knew me
I've fallen deep inside my well
Without a pail
And if you come to rescue me
I'll tell my fairy tale
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young
What curtains fall
On childhood stages
That never rise
To show the crowd
Things I drag
Throughout the ages
Never seem
To speak out loud
I wish that you were here right now
I guess I passed my chance away
A pallid grey is mostly what I see now
I live my life
And never stop to
Close the doors
And all time I never thought
Of living yours
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young

Harry Connick, Jr. | On The Street Where You Live | /h/harry+connick+jr/on+the+street+where+you+live_20064395.html | I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second
You may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here
On the street where you live

Harry Connick, Jr. | Once | /h/harry+connick+jr/once_20064456.html | Once
Is all I'll need to show you
Love making is an art
But once-made love
Won't be nearly enough
Once
I win your heart
Once
Upon a timeless romance
Love often was denied
But a thousand knights
Couldn't take me away
Once
I'm at your side
The world gets bigger as you look behind
Pouring in when you leave
You'll miss where you're going if you stare
I hope you're next to me
Watching it all go by
You'd get lost in all that world
Once
Just comes once in a lifetime
Then it becomes ago
All I ask is to kiss your lips
Once
And then you'll know
Once
And then you'll know

Harry Connick, Jr. | Only You | /h/harry+connick+jr/only+you_10140738.html | Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you
Only you, only you can make this change in me
For it's true you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you
Only you, only you can make this change in me
For it's true, oh baby you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

Harry Connick, Jr. | Oompa Loompa | /h/harry+connick+jr/oompa+loompa_20261171.html | Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at, getting terribly fat
What do you think will come of that
I don't like the look of it
Oompa loompa doompety da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
Doompety do
Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompeda dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile
But it's repulsive, revolting and wrong
Chewing and chewing all day long
The way that a cow does
Oompa loompa doompety da
Given good manners you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a siamese cat
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who's to blame
The mother and the father
Oompa loompa doompety da
If you're not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
Oompa loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa loompa doompeda dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me
What do you get from a glut of TV
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a boo

Harry Connick, Jr. | Other Hours | /h/harry+connick+jr/other+hours_20316145.html | Who are you in the other hours
When your hair's undone
And your guard's let down
When you're all alone in your all nightgown
Are you the life of the party then?
Sitting by yourself, again
Where are you in the other hours
Are you in a secret place that calls
When you're by yourself with in your walls
Are you undressed with someplace to go
Off to catch your private show
Why do you greet the morning
Draping your heart in a shroud
Why must your life be a sideshow
Played to an ignorant crowd
How are you, in the other hours
Do you pray for morning to arrive
Do you wonder how you can stay alive
Are you at peace in a troubled mind
Hoping no one else would find
You're only playing dumb
'til the other hours come
[piano]
Who do you think you're fooling
Turning your face from the light
Clearly you're turning to something
That are revealed by the night
What are you in the other hours
Are you queen of some abandoned song
Thinking how your crown of jewels had shone
You're sitting there with no one to reign
You think no one sees your pain
And no one hears your drum
So the other hours come

Harry Connick, Jr. | Over The Rainbow | /h/harry+connick+jr/over+the+rainbow_10140750.html | Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star and
Wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?

Harry Connick, Jr. | Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers | /h/harry+connick+jr/parade+of+the+wooden+soldiers_20064489.html | The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly
The clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun
The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum
Oh, here they come
Cries everyone
Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonet's flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each little pretty maid
Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade

Harry Connick, Jr. | Please Come Home For Christmas | /h/harry+connick+jr/please+come+home+for+christmas_20766939.html | Bells will be ringing
The glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas
To end the blues
My baby's gone
I have no friends
To wish me greetings
Ooh, once again
Choirs
Will be singing
Silent Night
Christmas carols
By candlelight
Please come home
For Christmas
Please come home
For Christmas
If not for Christmas
By New Year's night
Friends and relations
Send salutations
Sure as the stars
Shine above
This is Christmas
Yeah, Christmas my dear
The time of year
To be with the one
You love
So won't you tell me
You'll never more roam
Christmas and New Years
Will find you home
Please come home
For Christmas
Please come home
For Christmas
If not for Christmas
By New Year's night
There'll be
No more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy
Happy once again
