1. _ Swingin' on a Star
Would you like to swing on a star,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
And be better off than you are,
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long, funny ears,
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school,
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
And be better off than you are,
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He's got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig,
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star,
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
And be better off than you are,
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish,
You may grow up to be a fish
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day, you meet quite a few
So, you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, ow!

2. _ For All We Know
Love, look at the two of us
Strangers in many ways
We've got a lifetime to share,
So much to say
And as we go from day to day,
I'll feel you close to me
But time alone will tell
Let's take a lifetime to say,
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
Let's take a lifetime to say,
"I knew you well"
For only time will tell us so
And love may grow
For all we know

3. _ All the Way
When somebody loves you,
It's no good unless he loves you
All the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you
All the way
Taller than the tallest tree is,
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is,
That's how deep it goes if it's real
When somebody needs you,
It's no good unless he needs you
All the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in-between years
Come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us?
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you,
It's for sure I'm gonna love you
All the way
All the way

4. _ The Morning After
There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on looking for the light
Oh, can't you see the morning after?
It's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together
And find a place that's safe and warm?
It's not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living
Let's put our hands out in time
There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
There's got to be a morning after
(There's got to be a morning after)
(repeat and fade out)

5. _ You'll Never Know
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so?
A million or more times
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you,
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
BREAK
If there is some other way to prove that I loved you,
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

6. _ The Continental
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It's something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra new
It's very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance
Your lips whisper so tenderly
His eyes answer your song
Two bodies swaying, the Continental,
And you are saying just what you're thinking of
So, keep on dancing the Continental
For it's a song of romance and of love
You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, oh oh oh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle, oh oh oh, and sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with him and he's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancing
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul,
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
The Continental

7. _ Lullaby of Broadway
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hip-hooray and bally-hoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of the subway train
The rattle of the taxis
The daffydils who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxie's
When a Broadway baby says good night,
It's early in the mornin'
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
Until the dawn
Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day, hey!
The lullaby of Broadway
The lullaby of old Broadway
The lullaby of Broadway
The lullaby of Broadway
"Hush-a-bye, I'll buy you this and that",
You hear a daddy sayin'
And baby goes home to her flat
To sleep all day
Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Listen to the lullaby of Broadway!

8. _ The Windmills of Your Mind
Round - like a circle in a spiral,
Like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel,
Like a snowball down a mountain,
Or a carnival balloon,
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon,
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face,
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space,
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!
Keys that jingle in your pocket,
Words that jangle in your head,
Why did Summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along the shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song,
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
In the Autumn of goodbyes,
For a moment you could not recall
The color of his eyes
Like a circle in a spiral,
Like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel,
As the images unwind,
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!

9. _ Thanks for the Memory
Thanks for the memory
(fade in)
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine,
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine,
The Parthenon, and moments on the Hudson River Line
The Parthenon, and moments on the Hudson River Line
How lovely it was!
How lovely it was!
Thanks for the memory
Thanks for the memory
(fade out)
Of rainy afternoons, swinging Harlem tunes,
Of motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes
(fade out)

10. _ When You Wish Upon a Star/Over the Rainbow
When a star is born,
They possess a gift or two
One of them is this:
They have the power to make a wish come true
When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams,
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullabye
Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday, I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
So, if your heart is in your dreams,
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star,
Your dreams come true

11. _ We May Never Love Like This Again
We may never love like this again
Don't stop the flow
We can't let go
We may never love like this again
And touch the sky
Though we may try
So, while we're here,
Let's give out all,
Release the dreams inside us
And set them free
Oh, while we're here,
Let's leave a mark
There's a candle in the dark
It's here to guide us
We may never love like this again
But through the days,
Beyond the hills,
I'll see you reaching out to hold me
I don't know just where or when
Still, I'm sure
We'll love again
We'll love again
We'll love again
(We may never love like this again)
We'll love again
(We may never love like this again)
(repeat and fade out)
