Andy Williams Greatest Hits Vol 2 Lyrics
1.A Song For You

Lyrics:Leon Russell
Music:Leon Russell

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see (baby can't you
see now)
There's no one more important to me (baby)
Baby can't you please see through me
'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody (listen to the melody) cause my love's in
there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine (you are a
friend of mine)
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song for you
We were alone and I was singin' this song, singin' this song for
you


2.Music From Across The Way


3.Music To Watch Girls By

The boys watch the girls while the girls
watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game,
watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss

Guys talk 'girl talk', it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care

It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
'What's that sound?' each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by

Guys talk 'girl talk', it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care

It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
'What's that sound?' each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys
who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene

La, la, la ,la


4.The Village Of St. Bernadette

Lyrics:Eula Parker
Music:Eula Parker

I've traveled far, the land and the sea
Beautiful places I happened to be
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

There, like a dream, this wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light
A feeling divine swept over me there
I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

Now I am home, I'm happy to be
Telling of places I've traveled to see
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a


5.Home Lovin' Man


6.In the Arms Of Love

Lyrics:Jay Livingston/Ray Evans
Music:Henry Mancini

If I could hold you in the arms of love tonight
I'd never let you go
As the hours go by I'd show you why we've waited for this
As two lovers whisper low

If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite
Imagine the joys I'd know
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight


The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm


7.Lonely Street

Written:Carl Belew/Kenny Sowder/W.S.Stevenson

Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'

I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'

A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'

Perhaps upon that lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love di-ie

If I could find that lonely street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'

Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'


8.Speak Softly Love(Love Theme From'The Godfather')

Lyrics:Larry Kusik
Music:Nino Rota

Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
You came into my world with love so softly love

(instrumental interlude)

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
You came into my world with love so softly love


9.Mac Arthur Park

There will be another song for me
For I will sing it
There will be another dream for me
Someone will bring it
I will drink the wine while it is warm
And never let you catch me looking at the sky
And after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
You'll still be the one.

I will take my life into my hands
And I will use it
I will win the worship in their eyes
And I will lose it
I will have the things that I desire
And my passions flow like rivers through the sky.
But after all the loves of my life
After all the loves of my life
I'll be thinking of you
And wonderin' why.

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Someone left the cake out in the rain
And I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
Oh, no-o-o


10.The Impossible Dream (The Quest)

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my
rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star.


11.Where Do I Begin

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angels?songs , with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand-it always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I l need her till the stars all burn away
And she l be there
