(Happy Christmas)
ah-- woo wah-
Ah- last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special-

Once bitten
and twice shy
I keep my distance
but you still catch
My eyes tell me baby
do you recognize me
Well it's been a year
it doesn't suprise me
(Happy Christmas)
I wrapped it up and
Send it with a note
saying I love you
I mean it wow
I know what a fool
I've been but
if you kissed me now
I know
you'd fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special-

Crowded a room friends
with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
and your soul of ice
My God I thought
you were someone
To rely on me
I guess I was
A shoulder to cry on
a face on a lover
With a fire
in his heart
A man under cover
but you tore me apart-
Woo- now I've found
a real love
You'll never
fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year
to save me from tears
I'll give it
to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave
it away-
Oh I'll give it
to someone special
Special-
gave you my---
special-
someone someone-

I saw the light
on the night
that I passed by
her window
I saw the flickering
shadows of love
on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me
I watched and went
out of my mind
My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
I could see
that girl was
no good for me
But I was lost
like a slave
that no man could free
At break of day
when that man
drove away
I was waiting
I crossed the street
to her house and
she opened the door
She stood there
laughing
I felt the knife
in my hand
and she laughed
no more
My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to
break down the door
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't
take any more

She stood there
laughing
I felt the knife
in my hand
and she laughed
no more
My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to
break down the door
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't take
any more
Forgive me Delilah
I just couldn't
take any more

Here I stand
all alone
Have my mind
turned to stone
Have my heart
filled up with ice
To avoid
it's breakin' twice
Thanks to you
my dear old friend
But you can't help
this is the end
Of a tale
that wasn't right
I won't have no sleep
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain
It's alright
we'll stay friends
Trustin'
in my confidence
And let's say
it's just alright
You won't sleep alone
tonight
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

With my heart
with my soul
Some guys cry
you bought and sold
They've been strong
young and bold
And they say play
this song again
In my heart
in my soul
I really hate to pay
this toll
Should be strong
young and bold
But the only thing
I feel is pain-

Raindrops keep
falling on my head
And just like the guy
whose feet are
Too big for his bed
nothing seems
To fit those
raindrops are falling
On my head
they keep falling
So I just did me
some talking
To the sun
and I said
I didn't like the way
he got things done
Sleeping on the job
those raindrops are
Falling on my head
they keep falling
But there's
one thing-- I know
The blues they send
to meet me
Won't defeat me
it won't be long
Till happiness steps
up to greet me
Raindrops keep
falling on my head
But that doesn't mean
my eyes will soon
Be turning red
crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna
stop the rain
By complaining
because I'm free--
Nothing's worrying me-
it won't be long
Till happiness steps
up to greet me
Raindrops keep
falling on my head
But that doesn't mean
my eyes will soon
Be turning red
crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna
stop the rain
By complaining
because I'm free--
Nothing's
worrying----------

If you search
for tenderness
It isn't hard
to find
You can have the love
you need to live
But if you look
for truthfulness
You might just as well
be blind
It always seems to be
so hard to give
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can always
find someone
To say they
sympathize
If I wear my heart out
on my sleeve
But I don't want
some pretty face
To tell me
pretty lies
All I want is
someone to believe
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
with promises again
I know (I know)
I know wo wo
When I'm deep
inside of me
Don't be too
concerned
I won't ask
for nothing
While
I'm gone
But when I want
sincerity
Tell me
where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one
that I depend upon
Honesty
is such a lonely word
Everyone is
so untrue
Honesty
is hardly ever heard
And mostly
what I need from you

Touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to skin
come on down
my cover-

When I feel the
time is right
and you're
staying by my side
and the love
give to me
makes my heart beat
when my
fantasies fly away
but my
feeling makes me stay
I see the fire
in your eyes
It makes my
heart beat
Do it just do
do it night and day
you're my
all time lover
Do it just do
do it in away
like there is
no other
touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to skin
Come on down my cover-

When my heart is full
of my love
it makes me
a trembling down
Love's the games
that we play
now we make
When our love
is clear and bright
It's our way
to see the light
There's a fire
in our heart
night and day
Do it just do
do it night and day
you're my
all time lover
do it just do
do it in away
like there is
no other
Touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to Skin
Come on down
my cover-

Do it just do
do it night and day
you're my
all time lover
Do it just do
do it in away
like there is
no other
Touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to skin
Come on down my cover
Do it just do
do it night and day
you're my
all time lover
Do it just do
do it in away
like there is
no other
Touch by touch
you're my
all time lover
skin to skin
Come on down my cover-

One summer night
the stars were
Shining bright
one summer dream
Made with fancy whims
that summer night
My whole world
tumbled down
I could have died
if not for you
Each night
I pray for you
My heart would
cry for you
The sun won't
shine again
Since you have gone
each time
I think of you
my heart would
Beat for you
you are
The one
for me
Set me free like the
sparrows up the tree
Give a sign
so I would
Ease my mind
just say a word
And I'll come
running wild
Give me a chance
to live again
Each night
I pray for you
My heart would
cry for you
The sun won't
shine again
Since you have gone
each time
I think of you
my heart would
Beat for you
you are
The one
for me
One summer night
the stars were
Shining bright
one summer dream
Made with
fancy whims
That summer night
my whole world
Tumbled down
I could have died
If not for you
each night
I pray for you
my heart would
Cry for you
the sun won't
Shine
again
Since you
have gone
Each time
I think of you
My heart would
beat for you
You are the one
for me

I'm so young and
you're so old
This my darling
l've been told
I don't care just
what they say
because forever
I will pray
you and I will
be as fiee
as the birds up
in the trees
Oh please stay by me
Diana.

Thrills I get
when you hold me close
oh my darling
you're the most
I love you
but do you love me?
oh Diana
can't you see
I love you
with a all my heart
and I hope we
will never part
Oh please
stay with me Diana.

Oh my darling
oh my lover
tell me that
there is on other
I love you
with my heart
Oh oh oh
oh oh-------
Only you can
take my heart
Only you can
tear it apart
When you hold me
in your loving arms
I can feel you giving
all your charms
Hold me darling
ho ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby
with a all your might
Oh please
stay by me Diana
oh please Diana
oh please Diana.

The old home town
looks the same
As I step down
from the train
And there to meet me
is my Mama and Papa
And down the road
I look and
There runs mary
Hair of gold and
Lips like cherries
It's good to touch
The green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to meet me
Arms a reaching
smiling sweetly
It's good to touch
the green green
grass of home
The old house
is still standing
Though the paint
is cracked and dry
and there's that
Old oak tree that
I used to play on
Down the lane I walk
with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and
lips like cherries
It's good to touch the
green green
grass of home
Then I awake
And look around me
at four grey walls
That surround me
and I realize
Yes that I was only
dreamming
For there's a guard
and there's a sad
Old padre Arm in arm
we'll walk
At daybreak again
I'll touch the
Green green
grass of home
Yes they'll all come
to see me
In the shade of
that old oak tree
As they lay me
beneath the
Green green
grass of home-

I'm going under
and this time
I fear there's no one
to save me
This all or nothing
really got a way
Of driving me
crazy
I need somebody
to heal
Somebody
to know
Somebody to have
somebody to hold
It's easy
to say
But
it's never the same
I guess I kinda
liked the way
You numbed
all the pain
Now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
I'm going under
and this time
I fear there's no one
to turn to
This all
or nothing way
Of loving got me
sleeping without you
Now I need
somebody to know
Somebody to heal
somebody to have
Just to know
how it feels
It's easy
to say
But
it's never the same
I guess I kinda
like the way
You help me
escape
Now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
And I tend
to close my eyes
When it hurts
sometimes
I fall into
your arms
I'll be safe
in your sound
Till I come back
around
For now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved
But now the day bleeds
into nightfall
And you're not here
to get me
Through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone you loved
I let my guard down
And then you pulled
the rug
I was getting kinda
used to being
Someone
you loved

Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find
away to make you see
I love you Words
don't come easy
Words
don't come easy to me
This is the only way
for me to say
I love you Words
don't come easy
Well I'm
just a music man
Melodies for
my best friend
But my words
are coming along
Then I
I reveal my heart
to you and
Hope you believe
it's true cause
Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you Words
don't come easy
This is
just a simple song
That l've
made for you
on my own
There's on hidden
meaning you know
When I
When I say
I love you and honey
please believe
I really do cause-

Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you words
don't come easy
It isn't easy
Words don't come easy
Words
don't come easy to me
How can I find away
to make you see
I love you words
don't come easy
Don't come easy to me
This is the only way
for me to say
I love you
Words don't come easy-

Yesterday
All my troubles
Seemed so far away
Now it looks as though
They're here to stay
Oh I believe in
Yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man
I used to be
There's a shadow
Hanging over me
Oh Yesterday
Came suddenly
Why she
Had to go I don't know
She wouldn't say
I said
Something wrong now I
long for yesterday
Yesterday

Game to play
Now I need a place to
Hide away

Had to go I don't know

Something wrong now I

Yesterday

Game to play

Hide away

I stand alone
in the darkness
The winter of my life
came- so fast
Memories go back
to childhood
To days I still recall
oh how happy I was--
Then there was
no sorrow
There was no pain
walking through
The- green-- fields
sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere
I'm the wind
in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever-

I'm still there
everywhere
I'm the dust
in the wind
I'm the star
in the northern sky--
I never stayed
anywhere

in the trees
Would you wait
for me forever
Would you wait
for me forever
Will you wait
for me forever-

(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah)
How can I say to you
I love somebody new
You were so good
to me always
And when I see
your eyes
I can't go on with lies
it breaks your heart
But I just can't
hide it oh - no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah)
Don't look
that way to me
I hurts you so I see
But I just can't
go on with lie
I gave you all I had no
there is nothing left
I may be wrong
But I'd better go now
oh- no-
I,
I've been away too long
Now I just can't go on
I've been away too
I,
I've been away too long
No I can't feel
so strong
I've been away too long
La La La La La La
La La La La La La
I,
I've been away too long
(Ah Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah Ah).

It's nine o'clock
on a Saturday
The regular crowd
shuffles in
There's an old man
sitting next to me
Making love
to his tonic and gin

He says son can you
play me a memory
I'm not really sure
how it goes
But it's sad
and it's sweet
And I knew it
complete
When I wore
a younger man's
Clothes na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

Now John at the bar
is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks
for free
And he's quick
with a joke
Or to light up
your smoke
But there's someplace
that he'd rather be
He says Bill I believe
this is killing me
As the smile ran away
from his face
Well I'm sure that
I could be
A movie star
if I could get out
Of this place na--
na--- na- na-- na-
Now Paul is
a real estate novelist
Who never had time
for a wife
And he's talking
with Davy
Who's still
in the navy
And probably
will be for life

And the waitress is
practicing politics
As the businessmen
slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing
a drink
They call
loneliness
But it's better than
drinking alone

Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

It's a pretty good
crowd for a Saturday
And the manager
give me a smile
'Cause he knows
that it's me
They've been coming
to see
To forget about
life for a while
And the piano
it sounds
Like a carnival
and the microphone
Smells like a beer and
they sit at the bar
And put bread
in my jar
And say man what
are you doing here
Oh- na-- na---
na- na-- na-
Sing us a song
you're the piano man
Sing us a song
tonight
Well we're all in
the mood for a melody
And you've got us
feeling alright-

I don't drink coffee
I take tea my dear
I like my toast done
on the side
And you can hear it
in my accent
When I talk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
see me walking down
Fifth avenue
a walking cane here
At my side
I take it everywhere
I walk
I'm an Englishman
In New York
uh- I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
In New York
if manners maketh
Man as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York uh-
I'm an alien
I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman
in New York
Modesty propriety
can lead to notoriety
You could end up
as the only one
Gentleness sobriety
are rare
In this society
at night
A candle's brighter
than the sun-

Takes more than combat
gear to make a man
Takes more than
license for a gun
Confront your enemies
avoid them
When you can
a gentleman will walk
But never run
if 'manners maketh
Man' as someone said
then he's the hero
Of the day
it takes a man
To suffer ignorance
and smile
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say
Be yourself no matter
what they say-

Love of my life
you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
and now you leave me
Love of my life
can't you see
Bring it back
bring it back
Don't take it away
from me because
You don't know
what it means to me
Love of my life
don't leave me
You've taken my love
you now desert me
Love of my life
can't you see
Bring it back
bring it back
Don't take it away
from me because
You don't know
what it means to me-

You will remember when
this is blown over
And everything's
all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there
At your side
to remind you
How I still love you
I still love you-

Back hurry back
please bring it back
Home to me because
you don't know
What it means to me
love of my life
Love of my life
ooh-

She's faced
the hardest times
You could imagine
and many times
Her eyes fought back
the tears
And when
her youthful world
Was about to fail in
each time
Her slender shoulders
wore the weight
Of all her fears
and a sorrow
No one hears
still rings
In midnight silence
in her ears
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free and
gentle flower
Growing wild
and if by chance
I should hold her
let me hold her
For a time
but if allowed
Just one possession
I would pick her
From the garden
to be mine-

Mm be careful
how you touch her
For she'll awaken
and sleeps
The only freedom
that she knows
And when you look
into her eyes
You won't believe
the way she's always
Paying for a dept
she never owed
And a silent wind
still blows
That only she can hear
and so she goes
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
Let her cry
for she's a lady
Let her dream
for she's a child
Let the rain
fall down upon her
She's a free
and gentle flower
Growing
wild
She's a flower
growing wild-
