Live At Ca

(stephen swartz)

If any of you have been in new york recently you'll know that "pippin" is one of the biggest broadway show throughout today. "pippin" is the story of emperor charlemaine's so
Could never ever find hapiness. he tried everything. he tried war, he tried religion. and he even tried a little sex. but it didn't work. too bad for him! the song i'd like to do for you know i
M "pippin". and it's about his search for fulfillment to find his corner of the sky.

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner of the sky

Everything has a season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason
And i'll show you a rhyme
Cat's been on the window sill
Children fit in snow
Why do i feel i don't fit in
Any place i go

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner of the sky

Every man has his day dream
Every man has hit goal
People like the way dreams
Have of sticking to the soul
Thunder clouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their soul
Can't you see i want my life
To be something more than long

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner of the sky

So many men are destined
To settle for something small
Don't you know that i won't rest
Until you know i had it all
So don't ask where i'm going
Just listen when i'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Gotta find my corner
Gotta find my corner
Gotta find my corner of the sky
Sky

It's caused me a lot
But there's one thing that i got
It's my man

Cold and wet
Tied you bet
All of that i'll soon forget
With my man

He's not much for looks
And no hero out of books
But i love him

Two or three girls has he
That he likes as well as me
But i love him

I don't no why i should
He isn't true
He beats me to
What can i do?

Oh my man, i love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is right, all right

What's the difference if i say
I'll go away
When i know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

What's the difference if i say
I'll go away
When i know
I'll come back on my knees some day
Whatever my man is
I am his for ever more

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late
I never bother with people i hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the crap games with barons and earls
Won't go to harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

I like that cool fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

I get too hungry for dinner at eight
I like the theatre but never come late

Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls

I'm broke, it's oke!
Hate california
It's cold and it's damp

You've given me a true love
And every day i thank you love
For a feeling that's so new
So inviting, so exciting

Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
A tender melody
Pulling me closer
Closer to your arms

Then suddenly, i hear a symphony
Ooh, your lips are touching mine
A feeling so divine
'till i leave the past behind
I'm lost in a world
Made for you and me

Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Play sweet and tenderly
Every time your lips meet mine now baby

Baby, baby
You bring much joy within
Don't let this feeling end
Let it go on and on and on
Now baby, baby
Those tears that seem my eyes
I cry not for myself
But for those who never felt the joy we felt

Whenever you're near
I hear a symphony
Each time you speak to me
I hear a tender rap so dy of love now

Baby, baby
As you stand holding me
Whispering how much you care
A thousand violins fill the air

Now baby, baby
Don't let this moment end
Keep standing close to me
Ooh, so close to me, baby, baby
Baby, baby
I hear a symphony
A tender melody

(p. graninger/e. robbins)

There ain't nothin' i can do
Or nothing i can say
That folks don't criticize me
But i'm gonna do what i want to anyway
And i don't care just what people say

If i should take a notion to jump into the ocean
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do

If i go to church on sunday then cabaret all day monday
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do

If my man ain't got no money and i say take all mine honey
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do

If i give him my last nickle and it leaves me in a pickle
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do

I'd rather my man would hit me than for him to jump up and quit me
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do

I swear i won't call no coppa if i'm beat up by my poppa
't ain't nobody's bizness if i do

Nobody's bizness, ain't nobody's bizness
Nobody's biznes if i do

(b. holiday/h. nicholas)

Lady sings the blues
She got them bad
She feels so sad

Wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about

The blues ain't nothing
But a pain in your heart
When you got a bad start
You and your man have to part

Lady sings the blues...

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby

And as i go my way alone
I find it hard for me to carry on
I need your strenght
I need your tender touch
I need the love, my dear
I miss so much

My world is empty without you, baby
My world is empty without you, baby

From this old world
I try to hide my face
From this loneliness
There's no hiding place
Inside this cold and empty house i dwell
In darkness with memories
I know so well

I need love know
More then before
I can hardly
Carry on anymore

My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(my world is emty) without you, babe

My mind and soul
Have felt like this
Since love between us
No more exist
And each time that darkness falls
It finds me alone
With these four walls

My world is emty without you, babe
Without you, babe
(my world is emty) without you, babe

Without you, babe
Without you, babe

(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)

If you need me, call me. no matter where you are, no matter how far. just call my name. i'll be there in a hurry. on that you can depend and never worry.
(you see, my love is alive it's like a seed that only needs the thought of you to grow. so if you feel the need for company, please, my darling, let it be me. i may not be able to express the de
F the love i feel for you, but a writer put it very nicely when he was away from the one he loved. he said down and wrote these words:)

No wind, (no wind) no rain, (no rain)
Nor winter's cold
Can stop me, babe (oh, babe) baby (baby)
If you're my goal

No wind, no rain,
Can stop me, babe
If you wanna go

I know, i know you must follow the sun
Wherever it leads
But remember
If you should fall short of your desires
Remember life holds for you one guarantee
You'll always have me

And if you should miss my love
One of these old days
If you should ever miss the arms
That used to hold you so close, or the lips
That used to touch you so tenderly
Just remember what i told you
The day i set you free

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (say it again)
Ain't no river wild enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough (one more time)
Ain't no river wild enough (say it again)
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Nothing can keep me
To keep me from you
