Andy Williams The Essential Andy Williams Lyrics
1.Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Artist:Andy Williams/Denise Van Outen

* You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
As long last love has arise
And I thank God that I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you *

Pardon the way that I spare
Pardon the way that I spare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There're no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

** I love you baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trusting me when I say

Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down on this
Oh pretty baby
That I found you stay
And let me love you baby **

repeat *
repeat **


2.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


3.Aquarius/Let The Sun Shine In(The Flesh Failures)

Lyrics:James Rado/Gerome Ragni
Music:Galt Macdermot

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!


Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in


Oh, let it shine, c'mon
Now everybody just sing along
Let the sun shine in
Open up your heart and let it shine on in
When you are lonely, let it shine on
Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
And when you feel like you've been mistreated
And your friends turn away
Just open your heart, and shine it on in

FADE


4.Up Up And Away

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
We'll keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Balloon...
Up, up, and away.....


5.Happy Heart

Lyrics:Jackie Rae
Music:Hans Last

There's a certain sound always follows me around
When you're close to me you will hear it
It's the sound that lovers hear when they discover
There could be no other for their love

CHORUS
It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near me, my love
Take my happy heart away
Let me love you night and day
In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love

Feeling more and more like I've never felt before
You have changed my life so completely
Music fills my soul now, I've lost all control now
I'm not half, I'm whole now with your love

CHORUS

Repeat CHORUS with 'La-la's'

Repeat CHORUS with 'La-la's' and FADE


6.The Look Of Love

Lyrics:Hal David/Burt Bacharach
Music:Hal David/Burt Bacharach

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of lo-ove is saying so much more than just words could
ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go You've got the

Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine toni-ight, let this be just the start of so many nights
like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go

I love you so
I love you so
I love you so


7.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)


8.Spooky

Written:Buie/Cobb/Shapiro/Middlebrooks

In the cool of the evenin' when ev'rything is gettin' kind of
groovy
I call you up and ask you if you'd like to go with me and see a
movie
First you say 'No', you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, 'All right'
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.

You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are
thinkin'
And if some fellow looks at you, it's for sure your little eye
will be a-winkin'
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky! Spooky! Yeah - yeah


If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are
playin'
I'm gonna tell you all that my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I'll propose... on Halloween.
Baby, love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Ah, spooky, yeah-uh!


9.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

12.Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again

Lyrics:Instone/Cook/Greenaway
Music:Instone/Cook/Greenaway

Here comes that rainy day feeling again
And soon my tears they will be falling like rain
It always seems to be a Monday
Left over memories of Sunday always spent with you
Before the clouds appeared and took away my sunshine

Here comes that rainy day feeling again
And I'll be dreaming of you Baby in vain
Your face is always on my mind girl
I hoping soon you're gonna find
Your way back tome
Cause if you say you'll stay
The rainy days will go away

Misty morning eyes
I'm trying to disguise the way I feel
But I just can't hide it
People seem to know
The lonliness will show
I'm thinking of my pride
But breaking up inside

Here comes that rainy day feeling again
And soon my tears they will be falling like rain
It always seems to be a Monday
Left over memories of Sunday always spent with you
Before the clouds appeared and took away my sunshine

Here comes that rainy day feeling again
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
Here comes that rainy day feeling again


13.Love Theme From The Godfather(Speak Softly Love)

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


14.Born Free

Lyrics:Don Black
Music:John Barry

Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star

Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free

(Stay free, where no walls divide you)
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide

Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free


15.Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an 'Ave' there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I simply sleep in peace until you come to me.


16.Almost there

Written:Jack Keller/Gloria Shayne

Almost there, we're almost there
How wonderful, wonderful our love will be
For you, for me

We're almost there where we will share
A warm caress, tenderness, a dream come true
For me, for you

Love has waited such a long time
Now we're a kiss apart
Darling, this is the right time
To let the kisses start

For you're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes for we're almost there


You're almost mine and soon we'll find
Our paradise, paradise so rare
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes for we're almost there
Almo-o-ost there
A-a-almost there


17.We've Only Just Begun

Written:Paul Williams/Roger Nichols

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only just begun

Before the rising sun we fly
So many roads to choose
We start our walking
And learn to run
And yes! We've only just begun

(*)Sharin' horizons that are new to us
Watchin' the signs along the way
Talkin' it over just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together

(**)And when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes! We've only just begun

Repeat(*)
Repeat(**)


18.One Day Of Your Life


19.I Think I Love You

I'm sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane, I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I've read
I think I love you, I think I love you
This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into the room
I think I love you, I think I love you

* I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way *

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about

(Repeat *)

Believe me, you really don't have to worry
I only wanna make you happy
And if you say Hey, go away I will
But I think better still
I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me
Oh, I think I love you, oh, I think I love you,

21.Where Do I Begin?(Love Story)

Lyrics:Carl Sigman
Music:Francis Lai

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


22.Somethin' Stupid

Lyrics:C.Carson Parks
Music:C.Carson Parks

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: 'I love you'

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: 'I love you'
('I love you, I love you,...')


23.Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Lyrics:Hal David
Music:Burt Bacharach

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,
Nothing seems to fit. Those
Raindrops keep falling on my head, they keep falling!

So I just did me some talking to the sun,
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done.
Sleeping on the job. Those
Raindrops keep falling on my head, they keep falling!

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me, won't defeat me,
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me.

* Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red,
Crying's not for me cause.
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free nothing's worrying me *

(Repeat *)


24.Can't Take My Eyes Off You

* You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
As long last love has arise
And I thank God that I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you *

Pardon the way that I spare
Pardon the way that I spare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There're no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

** I love you baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you baby to warm the lonely night
I love you baby
Trusting me when I say

Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down on this
Oh pretty baby
That I found you stay
And let me love you baby **

repeat *
repeat **


25.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
