If I loved you.

If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I’d want you to know
If I loved you
Words wouldn’t come in an easy way
Round in circles, I’d go
Longing to tell you but afraid and shy
I’d let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you’d leave me
Off you would go in the midst of day
Never, never to know
How I loved you,
If I loved you.

Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love.

Love is a many splendored thing

Love walked right in
And drove the shadows away.
Love walked right in
And brought my sunniest day.
One magic moment and my heart seemed to know
That love said hello,
Though not a word was spoken!

One look and I forgot the gloom of the past.
One look and I had found my future at last.
Oh, then and there I found a world completely new
When love walked in with you!

This is worth a listen

It's a kind of magic.

My kind of girl.

She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
And her hair has a kind of curl
To my mind shes my kind of girl .

Shes wise like an angel's wise
With eyes like an angel's eyes
And her smile's like a kind of pearl
To my mind shes my kind of girl.

My kind of town, Chicago is

Leonard James · « **Reply #360 on:** April 17, 2016, 03:32:46 PM »

It's the talk of the town.

I can't show my face, Can't go anyplace,
People stop an' stare, It's so hard to bare,
Everybody knows you left me, It's the talk of the town...

Every time we meet, My heart skips a beat,
We don't stop to speak, 'Though it's just a week,
Everybody knows you left me, It's the talk of the town...

We send out invitations, To friends and relations,
Announcing our weddin' day
Our friends and our relations, Gave congratulations,
How can you face them? What can you say?

Let's make up sweetheart, We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride, Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended? It's the talk of the town...

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 won't care
If I can be here on the street where you live

I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet

I'm Looking Through You (The Beatles)

Leonard James · « **Reply #364 on:** April 17, 2016, 08:05:44 PM »

Through.

Through, how can you say we're through, the way I've cared for you, sweetheart,
Through, the showers we've been through, and what you drove me to, sweetheart,
Please take me in your arms and love me as you used to do,
Don't ever say we're through.

Though April showers may come your way,
They bring the flowers that bloom in May.
So if it's raining, have no regrets,
Because it isn't raining rain, you know, It's raining violets,
And where you see clouds upon the hills,
You soon will see crowds of daffodils,
So keep on looking for a blue bird, And listening for his song,
Whenever April showers come along.

The Blue Flag

Hello Hello, how do you do,
We are the boys, in Royal Blue,
Where e'er we go,
We fear no foe,
We'll keep the blue flag
Flying high,

Oh flying high up in the sky,
We'll keep the blue flag flying high,
Where e'er we go, we fear no foe,
We'll keep the blue flag flying high.

There is a team, a Glasgow team,
Who's colours they are white and green,
But when they meet the boys in blue,
They simply don't know what to do.

Oh flying high up in the sky,
We'll keep the blue flag flying high,
Where e'er we go, we fear no foe,
We'll keep the blue flag flying high.

"Blue"

Another northern sky
Another motorway parade
Another day like this
Whatever will be will be
And we will be in Shrewsbury (do I have to go)

Do I have to go
Could I ever stay away
And you never know
Tonight our luck could change
And we'll be flying all the way (going all the way)
A late point and I'll be laughing
And Saturday won't seem so bleak
With you, Blue

Ever a stepping stone
Someone's Mickey Mouse affair
We're so unfashionable
But I'm not with you for your stylish hair
Or the seaside air (if we ever get there)
Tell me we've acquired a striker (Stanley)
And a lucrative sponsorship came through (on a free)
Will you, Blue
Can we not buy someone famous
And pull a crowd we can't contain at all
All true, Blue

Maybe we'll never tread the grass that grows around your feet
And you let us in for weighting tables like we live to feed
And not to eat (but we get a seat)
Three points and the living's easy
And every day's a Saturday
With you, true blue
Saturday

Long been a favourite - one of the reasons being having Shrewsbury in the lyrics - how often does that happen?!!

Another bride, another June,
Another sunny honeymoon,
And what's the reason,
It's just the season,
For making whoopee.

June is busting out all over!
All over the meadow and the hill
Buds are busting out of bushes
And the romping river pushes
Every little wheel that wheels beside the mill.

A Windmill In Old Amsterdam

A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

Chorus:
I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?

Leonard James · « **Reply #372 on:** April 24, 2016, 07:00:45 PM »

Hickory dickory dock,
The mouse went up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse went down,
Hickory dickory dock.

Here's a health to the King and a lasting peace,
To faction an end, to wealth increase;
Come, let us drink it while we have breath,
For there's no drinking after death,
And he that will this health deny,
Down among the dead men,
Down among the dead men,
Down, down, down, down,
Down among the dead men let him lie.

Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me

And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
