How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Nearly Sane]

You say "Yes", I say "No".
You say "Stop" and I say "Go, go, go".
Oh no.
You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello".
I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello".
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello.
I say "High", you say "Low".
You say "Why?" And I say "I don't know".
Oh no.
You say "Goodbye" and I say "Hello, hello, hello".
I don't know why you say "Goodbye", I say "Hello, hello, hello".

[Aruntraveller]

Continuing the McCartney farewells:

Please don't wake me until late tomorrow comes,
 And I will not be late.
 Late today when it becomes tomorrow.
 I will leave to go away.
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye.
 Songs that lingered on my lips excite me now
 And linger on my mind.

Leave your flowers at my door
 I'll leave them for the one who waits behind.
 Far away my lover sings a lonely song
 And calls me to his side.
 When the song of lonely love
 Invites me on I must go to his side.
 Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye.

[ekim]

With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face.
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace.
When the music swells
I'm touching you hand
It tells that you're standing near, and

At the sound of your voice
Heaven opens his portals to me.
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you.

[Nearly Sane]

Its a simple understanding
Of the way you hand it over
And hold on to it, too
With the lightness of a feather
Its the web that ties together
What is true

See the others flappin
With their fingers snappin
Tryin to make it happen, too...
Its a hymn to the grace
Thats found a place in you.

[Aruntraveller]

I've been so lonely she can't understand the way I feel
 I'm holding on, I'm walking home alone
 I'm here without her
 It seems that all the boys appreciate her
 All the girls speak highly of her energy
 D' you think that it could work for Jane and me

 'Cos I still want her, I still remember summer
 Way back when, we both felt the same
 And I still love her, I can't stop thinking of her
 I'm having trouble understanding Jane

One by one my marbles left me
 Jane would smile but never hold me
 One night at the pool hall
 Asked her if she'd hold my cue
 Can't impress her with no fancy car
 Resigned to lean here at the bar
 I'll lose my mind
 Shiver in responsibility

[ekim]

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say "Hello"

Aw you wished me well, you couldn't tell
That I'd been cwying over you, cwying over you
Then you said "so long". left me standing all alone
Alone and cwying, cwying, cwying cwying
It's hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me cwying.

I thought that I was over you but it's true, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do
For you don't love me and I'll always be
Cwying over you, cwying over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be cwying, cwying, cwying, cwying
Yeah cwying, cwying, over you.

Smile though your heart is aching
 Smile even though it's breaking.
 When there are clouds in the sky
 you'll get by.

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
 Smile and maybe tomorrow
 You'll see the sun come shining through
 For you.

Light up your face with gladness,
 Hide every trace of sadness.
 Although a tear may be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
 Smile, what's the use of crying.
 You'll find that life is still worthwhile-
 If you just smile.


One Charles Chaplin.

[ekim]

When you're smiling, when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you.
When you're laughing, oh when you're laughing
The sun comes shining through.

But when you're crying, you bring on the rain
So stop that sighing, be happy again.
Keep on smiling, 'cause when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you.

[Aruntraveller]

You've done it all, you've broken every code
 And pulled the rebel to the floor
 You spoilt the game, no matter what you say
 For only metal, what a bore!

Blue eyes, blue eyes
 How come you tell so many lies?

Come up and see me, make me smile
 Or do what you want, running wild

There's nothing left, all gone and run away
 Maybe you'll tarry for a while
 It's just a test, a game for us to play
 Win or lose, it's hard to smile

[ekim]

Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
He washed my sins away (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day).

He taught me how to watch, fight and pray, fight and pray
And live rejoicing every, everyday.

Oh happy day.

One for Alan

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday-
I love you
January, February into March and April
Same way too.
May, June or July
I never let a day go by
Without a kiss
For you to remember
Just in case you go away
in August or September.
In October and November not to mention
Warm December- I love you.

See the breaking glass
In the underpass
See the breaking glass
In the underpass
Warm leatherette

Hear the crushing steel
Feel the steering wheel
Hear the crushing steel
Feel the steering wheel

[ekim]

On a clear day
Rise and 1ook around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of every mountain sea and shore
You can hear
From far and near
A word you've never, never heard before...
And on a clear day...On a clear day...
You can see forever...
And ever...
And ever...
And ever more. . .

A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
Daylight come and me wan' go home

[ekim]

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

[Nearly Sane]

Tonight, tonight
The world is full of light
With suns and moons all over the place
Tonight, tonight
The world is wild and bright
Going mad
Shooting sparks into space
Today, the world was just an address
A place for me to live in
No better than all right
But here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight

[ekim]

Tonight, tonight,
It all began tonight,
I saw you and the world went away.

Tonight, tonight,
There’s only you tonight,
What you are, what you do, what you say.

Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen --
I know now I was right.

For here you are
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you
In the still of the night
All the world is in slumber
All the times without number
Darling when I say to you
Do you love me, as I love you
Are you my life to be, my dream come true
Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still, of the night
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill
In the chill, still, of the night.

[Humph Warden Bennett]

One of these nights

[ekim]

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down

So goodbye, dear, and Amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things.

[Gordon]

Fings ain't what they used to be.

[ekim]

What a difference a day made
Twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain.
