As Time Goes By

Carpenters As Time Goes By Lyrics
1.Without A Song(Complete Version)

Written:Billy Rose/Edward Eliscu/Vincent Youmans

Without a song, the day would never end.
Without a song the road would never bend.
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song.

That field of corn would never see a plow.
That field of corn would be deserted now.
A man is born, but he's no good no-how
Without a song.

I got my troubles and woe,
but sure as I know that Jordan will roll
I'll get along as long as a song is strong in my soul

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!!


2.Medley:

Superstar
Rainy Days and Mondays


3.Nowhere Man

Lyrics:John Lennon
Music:John Lennon
Artist:John Lennon

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere man
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man the world is at your command

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man can you see me at all?

Nowhere man, don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand

Nowhere man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere man the world is at your command

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere man
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody


4.I Got Rhythm

I got rhythm; I got music; I got my man;
Who can ask for anything more?
I got daisies, In green pastures; I got my man;
Who can ask for anything more?
Old man trouble, I don mind him.
You won find him ound my door.
I got starlight; I got sweet dreams; I got my man;
Who can ask for anything more?
Who can ask for anything more?


5.Dancing In The Street

Written:Ivy Jo Hunter/William Stevenson/Marvin Gaye

OK, talk to you
South America, Australia, France, Germany, UK, Africa

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing,
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn't matter what you wear, just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the street

It's an invitation across the nation, a chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street

Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore in DC now
Don't forget the motor city
On the streets of Brazil
Back in the USSR
No matter where you are

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh

It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy, grab a girl, everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the streets

Way down in L.A., everyday
Dancing in the streets
Cross in China too
Me and you
Dancing in the street

Don't you know
They'll be dancing
Dancing in the street (repeat)


6.Dizzy Fingers


7.You're Just In Love

I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why, I wonder why?
I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more, I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes, I wonder why?

You don't need analyzin'
It is not so surprisin'
That you feel very strange but nice
Your heart goes pitter-patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rub down with a velvet glove
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick, you're just in love!

(remix)


8.Karen/Ella Fitzgerald Medley

This Masquerade
My Funny Valentine
I'll Be Seeing You
Someone to Watch Over Me
As Time Goes By
Don't Get Around Much Anymore
I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart


9.Medley:

Close Encounters
Star Wars


10.Leave Yesterday Behind

When the morning sunrise
Becomes a magic show
Before your very eyes
And all the sounds of life
Begin to harmonize
You hear a song of hope
Surround your senses
And feel the promise of a brand new kind of world
Lose your defenses
Unlock your mind
Unwind and follow me
Come let me help you see
How to find the way to leave yesterday behind

We should be together
when we're this close we're bound to work it out somehow
We found a dream to share
Don't lose it now
Just let my song of love
Surround your senses
And feel the promise of a brand new kind of world
Lose your defenses
Unlock your mind
You know I love you
(Love you)
Come let me show you
(show you)
How to find the way to leave yesterday behind

12.California Dreaming

* All the leavers are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winter's day *

I'd be safe and warm, if I was in L.A.
California Dreaming on such a winter's day
Stopped into a church, I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees and I'd pretend to pray
You know, the preacher liked the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay

# California Dreaming on such a winter's day #

(Repeat *)

If I didn't tell her, I could leave today

(Repeat #)


13.The Rainbow Connection



Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Someone thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see

Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me

All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they're one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
There's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

(Something, somewhere, I konw we'll find it)
The lovers, the dreamers and me


14.Karen Medley

Sing
Close to You
For All We Know
Ticket to Ride
Only Yesterday
I Won't Last a Day Without You
Goodbye to Love


15.And When He Smiles

(From 'Live At BBC, 1971')

And when he smiles he makes the sun shine
He wouldn't think to make it rain
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew

And when he smiles he makes me sigh
He doesn't have a point of view
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew

And when he smiles he makes the sun shine
And warms the day with morning dew
Happiness runs in the family
And he's a boy from the good old earth and the high tree forest
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
And he's just about the happiest boy that I ever knew
