Andy Williams The Essence Of Andy Williams Lyrics
1.Moon River

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Henry Mancini

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

(Moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

(Moon River, Moon River)


2.Can't Get Used To Losing You

Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
I'll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you

Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say 'Hello'
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you

I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kiddin', only me
'cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a helpless case

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you

I can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you


3.So Little Time


4.A Fool Never Learns

A fool never learns
To get away, just run away before his heart begins to break
A fool never learns
He'll wait around, just hang around to see how much his heart
can take
A fool never learns
To some girls love is just a game
And some girls treat all fool the same
A fool never learns
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing

I'm gonna stick by you
I'm a'gonna hang around, wait around
Hope she'll love me again some day
They say a broken heart don't mark the end of time
That there are lotsa girls who'd love to be just mine
But I don't believe that I could fall in love again
'cause I just can't remove the pain
A fool never learns
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing

I'm gonna stick by you
I'm a'gonna hang around, wait around
Hope she'll love me again some day
They say a broken heart don't mark the end of time
That there are lotsa girls who'd love to be just mine
But I don't believe that I could fall in love again
'cause I just can't remove the pain
A fool never learns
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing
And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing

And I'm gonna do a very foolish thing


5.Where Or When

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers

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 clothes 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 laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when


6.Dear Heart

Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night
My dear heart, seems like a year since you've been out of my
sight
A single room, a table for one
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more

(A single room, a table for one)
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more


7.The Very Thought Of You

Lyrics:Ray Noble
Music:Ray Noble

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love


8.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


9.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


10.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
