1. _ What Now My Love
What now my love, now that you've left me
How can i live through another day
Watching my dreams turn to ashes
And my hopes turn to bits of clay
Once i could see, once i could feel
Now i am numb, i've become unreal
I walk the night, without a goal
Stripped of my heart and my soul
What now my love, now that it's over
I feel the world falling all around me
Here come the stars, tumbling around me
There's the sky, where that sea should be
What now my love, now that you're gone
I'd be a fool to go on and on
No one would care, no one would cry
If i should live if i should live or die
What now my love, now there is nothing
Only my last, my last good-bye

2. _ Angel Eyes
Writer(s): dennis/brent
Hey drink up all you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The laugh and the drinks on me
Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My poor old heart ain't gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need i say that my love's mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all of you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
Pardon me but i got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I got to find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while i disappear

3. _ My Way
and now, the end is near;
And so i face the final curtain.
My friend, i'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which i'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, i've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what i had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, i'm sure you knew
When i bit off more than i could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and i stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, i've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think i did all that;
And may i say - not in a shy way,
"no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows i took the blows -
And did it my way!

4. _ Soliloquy
Writer(s): rodgers/hammerstein
I wonder what he'll think of me
I guess he'll call me the "old man"
I guess he'll think i can lick
Ev'ry other feller's father
Well, i can!
I bet that he'll turn out to be
The spittin' image of his dad
But he'll have more common sense
Than his puddin-headed father ever had
I'll teach him to wrassle
And dive through a wave
When we go in the mornin's for our swim
His mother can teach him
The way to behave
But she won't make a sissy out o' him
Not him! not my boy! not bill!
Bill. i will see that he is named after me, i will.
My boy, bill! he'll be tall
And tough as a tree, will bill!
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you won't see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around
I don't give a damn what he does
As long as he does what he likes!
He can sit on his tail
Or work on a rail
With a hammer, hammering spikes!
He can ferry a boat on a river
Or peddle a pack on his back
Or work up and down
The streets of a town
With a whip and a horse and a hack
He can haul a scow along a canal
Run a cow around a corral
Or maybe bark for a carousel
Of course it takes talent to do that well
He might be a champ of theheavyweights
Or a feller that sells you glue
Or president of the united states
That'd be all right, too
His mother would like that
But he wouldn't be president unless he wanted to be
Not bill!
My boy, bill! he'll be tall
And as tough as a tree, will bill
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you won't see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bastard'll boss
Him around
And i'll be damned if he'll marry the boss' daughter
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water
Who'll give him a peck
And call it a kiss
And look in his eyes through a lorgnet
Say, why am i talkin' on like this?
My kid ain't even been born, yet!
I can see him when he's seventeen or so
And startin' to go with a girl
I can give him lots of pointers, very sound
On the way to get 'round any girl
I can tell him ...
Wait a minute!
Could it be?
What the hell!
What if he is a girl?
What would i do with her?
What could i do for her?
A bum with no money!
You can have fun with a son
But you got to be a father to a girl
She mighn't be so bad at that
A kid with ribbons in her hair!
A kind o' neat and petite
Little tin-type of her mother!
What a pair!
I can just hear myself bragging about her!
My little girl
Pink and white
As peaches and cream is she
My little girl
Is half again as bright
As girls are meant to be!
Dozens of boys pursue her
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her
>from her faithful dad
She has a few
Pink and white young fellers of two and three
But my little girl
Gets hungry ev'ry night and she come home to me!
My little girl, my little girl!
I got to get ready before she comes!
I got to make certain that she
Won't be dragged up in slums
With a lot o' bums like me
She's got to be sheltered
And be dressed in the best money can buy!
I never knew how to get money
But, i'll try, by god! i'll try!
I'll go out and make it or steal it
Or take it or die!

5. _ If
Writer(s): evans/damerell/hargreaves
If a picture paints a thousands words
Then why can't i paint you?
The words would never show
The you i've come to know
If a ship is launched a thousands times
Then where am i to go?
There's no one here but you
You're all that's left me too
And when - my love - for life - is running dry
You come - and pour - yourself - on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Slowly spinning down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one - by one - the stars - would all go out
And you - and i - would simply fly away

6. _ Maybe This Time
Writer(s): kander/ebb
Maybe this time, i'll be lucky
Maybe this time she'll stay
Maybe this time, for the first time
Love won't wander away
She's gonna hold me fast
And i'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Not like the last time, and the time before
Everybody loves a winner
But nobody loves me
Mr. peaceful, mr. happy
That's what i want to be
All of the odds are, in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time i'll win

7. _ What's New
Writer(s): burke/haggart
What's new?
How is the world treating you?
You haven't changed a bit
Lovely as ever, i must admit
What's new?
How did that romance come through?
We haven't met since then
Gee, but it's nice to see you again
What's new?
Probably i'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand
I understand. adieu!
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed, i still love you so

8. _ Where Or When
When you're awake, the things you think
Come from the dream you dream
Thought has wings, and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem
Sometimes you think you've lived before
All that you live to day
Things you do come back to you
As though they knew the way
Oh the tricks your mind can play
It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But i can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the close, you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But i can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And that we laughed before, also loved before
But who knows where or when

9. _ My Heart Stood Still
Writer(s): rodgers/hart
I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts
Seemed romantic fools
A house in iceland
Was my heart's domain
I saw your eyes
Now castles rise in spain!
I took one look at you
That's all i meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still
Through all my school days
I hated boys
Those april fool days
Brought me loveless joys
I read my plato
Love, i thought a sin
But since your kiss
I'm reading missus glyn!

10. _ New York, New York
new york, new york
Start spreading the news, i'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york
I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn't sleep
And find i'm king of the hill - top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If i can make it there, i'll make it anywhere
It's up to you - new york, new york
New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find i

11. _ Strangers In The Night
Writer(s): kaempfert/singleton/snyder
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through.
Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me i must have you.
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment
When we said our first hello.
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away,
A warm embracing dance away and -
Ever since that night we've been together.
Lovers at first sight, in love forever.
It turned out so right,
For strangers in the night.

12. _ You Will Be My Music
Writer(s): raposo
When all the songs are out of tune
And all the rhythms ring so untrue
When i don't find the words to say
The thoughts i bring to you
When i hear lonely singers
Who are just as lost as me
Making noise, not melody
You will be my music
You will be my song
You will be my music
I can't wait any longer if i'm wrong
I'll never find the song to tell me
All the things i need to say
And i'm afraid as time goes by
That someday soon you'll go away
And i'll be lost and trying
For songs i'll never sing
Wanting you is ev'rything
You will be my music
You will be my song
You will be my music
I can't wait any longer if i'm wrong
I can't wait any longer for my song

13. _ In The Still Of The Night
Writer(s): cole porter
In the still of the night
As i gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number
When i say to you
Do you love me
Just like i love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Will it fade way out of sight
Just like that moon growing dim
Way out on the rim of the hill
In the still of the night

14. _ You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
Writer(s): stevie wonder
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why i'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart
I know that this is the beginning
Though i loved you for one million years
But if i thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why i'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart
You must have known that i was lonely
Because you came to my rescue
And though i know that this is heaven
How could so much love be inside of you
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why i'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay (be) in my heart
('cause you are)
You are the sunshine - of my life
(of my life, of my life)
(light my fire baby, light my fire,...)

15. _ For Once In My Life
Writer(s): murden/miller
For once in my life i've got someone who needs me
Someone i've needed so long
For once unafraid i can go where life leads me
And somehow i know i'll be strong
For once i can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before i knew
Someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true
For once in my life i won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once i've got someone i know won't desert me
And i'm not alone anymore
For once i can say: "this is mine you can't take it"
As long as i've got love i know i can make it
For once in my life i've got someone who needs me
