When Harry Met Sally / We

Harry Connick Jr. When Harry Met Sally / We Lyrics
1.Blue Light , Red Light(Someone's There)

Lyricist:H. ConnickR. Mclean
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

I live in a tiny closet
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
And a mouse, a hole and a trap
I don't worry about the flights
Or count the stairs
'Cause I know someone's there
I took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there's clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don't worry about the ride
Or the subway fare
'Cause I know someone's there
One day we'll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on a tree
We'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level
Or if the ceiling falls in
Haunted by the devil
Or ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned
Why should I care
No place I'd go alone would compare
'Cause I know, I know you're there
One day we'll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on a tree
We'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level
Or if the ceiling falls in
Haunted by the devil
And ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned
Why should I care
No place I'd go alone would compare
'Cause I know, I know you're there


2.A Blessing And A Curse

Lyricist:H. ConnickR. Mclean
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

I forget what happens on the fourth of july
Or when the rent is due
Dates and deadlines just float by
But i always remember you

What colombus set out to discover
Isabelle already knew
There'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers
But i always remember you

If i could rearrange history

And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In beethoven's fifth

Why, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you


3.You Didn't Know Me When

Lyricist:H. ConnickR. Mclean
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me
Ooh no
You don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
Longs to hold you tight
I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
Then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
You'll never never know
The one who loves you so
Well you don't know me

Oh I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
Then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
Oh no you don't know me
Oohh...you don't know me


4.Jill

Lyricist:H. Connick
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

I know a girl
Who says she loves me
She says she needs me
And I have reason to believe her
Good reason

Like when we kiss
My eyes won't open
My heart won't listen
And I don't have a word to say
No, not a word

Look, my darling
And you'll hear me sing 'i love you'
With my eyes
Let me hold you
Really hold you
Then you'll know my heart

Just can't tell lies
It knows a true love
It knows it's you, love
And it knows that you say
You love me
And I say I love you, too


5.He Is They Are

Lyricist:H. Connick
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

He is good
They are happy
He is strong
They are secure
He is right
They are unquestioning
He is wrong
They are demure

When she left
He was tortured
She was gone
They were confused
He was forgetful
They were supportive
He was funny

They were amused

He did things that only superman could do
Things that sis and i could not believe were true

He is older
They are loving
He is hardened
They are grown
He is needing
They are giving
He is glad they are his own


6.With Imagination(I'll Get There)

Lyricist:H. ConnickR. Mclean
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

I've travelled many a mile
And i haven't found a home
I've travelled many a mile
And one seed's unsown
I'll travel another mile
'til i finally find my own
With imagination
I'll get there

I started with a dream
But came to a decision
I started with a dream
But now i have a mission
I have a goal
To see beyond my vision
With imagination
I'll get there

To climb the next hill
My fate to fulfill
Stronger than my will
With imagination
I'll get there

In my father's house
No harsh words are spoken
In my father's house
No vows are broken

In a holy place
My sould like beams oaken
With imagination
I'll get there

When weary is your world
Go and spin another
When weary is your world
There's heaven to discover
Here on earth
We're sister and brother
With imagination
We'll get there

And if i stand alone
To my cause i'm loyal
If i stand alone
Either common or royal
I'm not afraid
To cross their sea of toil
With imagination
I'll get there

With imagination
I'll get there

With imagination
I'll get there


7.If I Could Give You More

Lyricist:H. ConnickR. Mclean
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

If i could give you more
I'd fill the house with flowers
Let you sleep for hours
Throw open the windows and unlock the doors
If i could give you more

If i could give you more
I'd make the streets safe
For every homeless waif
That wanders alone to a foreign shore
If i could give you more

See that you are sainted

Remain true and pure
So that you never get lost
No matter what you may endure

If i could give you more
I'd hand the world a phrase
That could not be erased
And tells of a love that's never been before
Oh, i will give you more


8.The Last Payday

Lyricist:H. ConnickR. Mclean
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

Danny was an old-time bourbon street barker
Who wanted the same as charlie parker
And always cued-up a ball
Thinking he was one rack away
But even when you run the table
The check still seems small
When it's your last payday

The shallow pocket changer
Who always took advantage of strangers
Tried to make a five-grand grab
With a split second getaway
But he forgot that a bag of money
Ain't worth much on a slab
When it's your last payday

That line about luck just can't be bought
You're always lucky 'til you get caught
Trouble will find you, no need to look
And luck won't help when they close the book

I know a lot of young fellas in here
Especially those on the highest tier
Still want to believe
That santa comes in a sleigh
They're right about the long white beard
But wrong about christmas eve
What's christmas, when it's your last payday


9.It's Time

Lyricist:H. ConnickR. Mclean
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

It's time to admit you love me
The flush of your cheek betrays
I hear a sigh in your voice
Your every word conveys

It's time to admit you love me
I feel the weight of your gaze
The smile that's mine alone
Your starry eyes sparkle ablaze

It's such a simple thing

How hard can it be
These few words
Endear you to me

It's time to admit i love you
And lift the worry from your brow
Rest your head upon my shoulder
There's nothing to be afraid of now


10.She Belongs To Me

Lyricist:H. Connick
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

I met her... but i never thought
She'd belong to me
I just wanted someone i could sing to
Who'd listen to every song
Oh, i just wanted someone i could cling to
Cling to all night long

So i kissed her... but i never thought
She'd belong to me
And when i felt her lips i skipped a heartbeat
'cause i was so in love with this girl
Oh, and how many times does your heart meet
The most beautiful girl in the world


So i thought and thought about her
I just couldn't stop thinking about her
And i died when she called me up and said
She couldn't stop thinking about me

Now i love her... but i never thought
She'd belong to me
Now guys are calling wanting to be boyfriends
But they're going to have to answer to me
Oh, 'cause i'm going to tell all those toy friends
That she belongs to me


11.Sonny Cried

Lyricist:H. ConnickR. Mclean
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

I cried all night for Sonny
'Til my eyes were dry
'Til the oceans overflowed
And the Red Sea turned blue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
I cried all night for Sonny
We shook hands and said goodbye
His face was etched with sorrow
His heart without a hue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
When you try and love two people
You can't love either one
'Cause after a while, you'll have to choose
Or else love self denial
I stayed all night with Sonny
Like there'd never be another day
Go on and sleep 'til sunset
And I'll watch over you
I cried all night for Sonny
I know he was crying, too
When you try and love two people
You can't love either one
'Cause after a while, you'll have to choose
Or else love self denial
I stayed all night with Sonny
Like there'd never be another day
Go on and sleep 'til sunset
And I'll watch over you
I cried all night for Sonny
I know he was crying, too


12.Just Kiss Me

Lyricist:H. Connick
Mixing:Harry ConnickJr.

Just kiss me
And forget all about that other stuff
Kiss me
Your big red lips, i think, will be enough

Don't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anyway

My lips are your color
So lips, stick with me!

Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me

Kiss me
And i'll take your lips to paradise
Kiss me
And paradise will never feel so nice

You're beautiful
You don't need all that make up
And you don't need to take up
All of your time in front of the mirror
Don't you know that you're my deara
Baby, can't you see we're in love

Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me

Kiss me
And put all the stars back in the sky
Kiss me
And maybe then you'll know the reason why
I want you
And my love's gonna haunt you
And i'm gonna flaunt you

In front of all the boys that live on my street
And they're gonna be jealous 'cause you're so sweet
Do you think i should repeat
Do you think i should repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Aw, say it, man!

I'm in love
Love
I'm in love

I'm in love
Sweet love


13.We Are In Love

Lyricist:Harry ConnickJr.

I know you so well
I can tell by the sound of your voice
If you're really in love with me
And you are
You are

You know i can't lie
If i say to you 'baby, i love you'
Then baby, i love you
And i do
I do

I do... could it be that's the
Phrase you thought never would phase you
Well baby, you better hold on tight
'cause i'm the one who's supposed to

Kneel down and propose, well alright
I might, i might

So, when i kiss you good-night
Just sleep tight with the thought that you'll
Always be caught up in love with me
And you'll dream that the stars up above
Have the answer of whether we'll be
Or whether we won't be
In love...
Well, we are,
We are


14.Only Cause I Don't Have You

Lyricist:H. ConnickJr.R. Mclean

Turn off the music
Take down the signs
Pack up the boxes
Put away the wine
No toast for the future
No reward for the find

If looks could kill
This mirror would do
Only 'cause i don't have you

Don't bother with ovations
Leave off the fanfare
Let the candles melt down
Till the smoke's all that's there
Leave the veil in place
A tear, la mer
I could say it was nothing
Now that there's nothing new
Only 'cause i don't have you

Not built on a wisp or whim
Twist an arm, break a leg
Tear me limb from limb
If there's a point you've made it
If there's a fare i've paid it

Later on good wishes
Later on good try
I'm afraid won't do
It's not justified
You go from the privy
And you end up deprived
On top of the world
But still there's no view
Only 'cause i don't have you


15.Recipe For Love

Lyricist:H. ConnickJr.

A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And that's the recipe for making love.

It doesn't need sugar coz it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven coz it's got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making love.

And if you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
Coz it won't keep you coming back for more

I didn't get from my Grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get from a magical and culinary Elf
No, a little birdie told me that you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe for making love.

It's not like anything you've made before,
Coz it won't keep you coming back for more.

No, I didn't get from my Grandma's book upon the shelf,
I didn't get from a magical and culinary Elf,
No, a little birdie told me that you can't make it by yourself,
And that's the recipe, girl that's the recipe to making love to
you,
That's the recipe for making love.


16.Drifting

Lyricist:Marc Shaiman

I see your eyes drifting, drifting
I'm really not that naive
You wear a smile but it's drifting, drifting
While I wear my heart on my sleeve
I feel your coldness against my skin
I know what follows the autumn wind
And though you say your heart isn't drifting, drifting
The words simply don't ring true
You're drifting and I'm losing you


17.Forever , For Now

Lyricist:H. ConnickJr.R. Mclean

Meet me on the corner of close and soon
I'll have a song in my head
And my hands on a tune
Nothing lasts forever
So i figure i better
Take you forever
For now

Meet me in the lobby of destiny
I'll have a ribbon on my shoulders
And a halo over me
If nothing lasts forever
I guess i better
Take you forever
For now

Under a clock

By an information desk
I'll be there will bells on
By an old oak
A fountain in the park
Just don't be long

By the ticket counter for love in spring
I'll be standin' there with cupid
And he can aim that thing
Nothing lasts forever
It's not a question of whether
I'll take you forever
For now


18.Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square


19.Heavenly

Lyricist:H. ConnickJr.R. Mclean

He's always smiling
He never looks mean
Even when the sun comes in between
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world

She's there in the evening
She never comes late
All day she spins around
But never makes him wait
The girl in the world is smiling
'cause she's in love
The girl in the world is smiling
'cause she's in love with the man in the moon

When two heavenly bodies glow
All the stars agree

A planet might be born
Maybe even a galaxy

And in the morning
They don't say good-bye
But with a kiss
They blend into the sky
Oh, they're smiling
'cause they're in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world

The man in the moon is smiling
'cause he's in love with the girl in the world

Heavenly!


20.Just A Boy

Lyricist:H. ConnickJr.R. Mclean

The last days in may
Before summer lay claim
Back in the school yard
We made up a game
Now is always
Is always the same
Too bad always always ends

Chorus:
I remember
I remember when
But i was just
Just a boy
Then

Innocent envy
Without compromise
Recommendations
All ill advised

Tall tales
And little white lies
The truth had to bend

Chorus

Now that we're tall
And all grown
A house a car
Lives of our own
We put off
But we can't postpone
The way we become men

Chorus


21.I've Got A Great Idea

Lyricist:H. ConnickJr.

I've got a great idea
And wouldn't you like to know
You probably can't bear it
So I guess I'll have to share it
I thought of it a moment ago

It starts with your hand in mine
And next comes a little stroll
You probably won't buy it
But I'm trying to keep it quiet
So please don't tell a soul

'cause if you do
The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go you'll hear me say
I could have been a decent match for edison

Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'cause my idea's no good for three
My idea is you and me


22.I'll Dream Of You Again

Lyricist:H. ConnickJr.

I spent last night dreaming of your eyes
But your hair kept getting in the way
Your lips dropped in to tell me how you'd been
But when i tried to kiss them
My pillow told me i missed them

Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then i knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then
I'd dream of you again


23.It's Alright With Me

Lyricist:C. Porter

It's the wrong time
And the wrong place
Though your face is charming
It's the wrong face
It's not her face
But it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's the wrong song
In the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely
It's the wrong smile
It's not her smile
But it's such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
Oh, you can't know
How happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
You see there's somebody
I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want
To forget somebody too
It's the wrong game
With the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting
They're the wrong lips
They're not her lips
But they're such tempting lips
That it's alright with me
Well, you can't know
How happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
Girl, there's somebody
I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want
To forget someone too
Well, it's the wrong game
And the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting
They're the wrong lips
They're not her lips
They're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright, alright
It's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, sugar, darling
It's alright with me


24.Buried In Blue

Lyricist:H. ConnickJr.R. Mclean

The sun sets red with rage
White clouds float by
Like high cotton
Blank as an empty page
Blue is a color buried
Not forgotten
Sweet as mother's milk
And clear as the wind
Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk
Blue is the color to be buried in
When you left
Leaving nothing behind
There's no one to blame
No criminal, no crime
You can report a missing person
But not a stolen heart
And I'm missing a person
To whom stealing was an art
The painting's complete
The brush strokes dry
I hear a band playing
A bent note or two
I guess someone died
And just wants to be
Buried in blue


25.It Had To Be You(Big Band And Vocals)

Lyricist:G. KahnI. Jones

It had to be you, it had to be you,
I wandered around an' finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinkin' of you,
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill,
With all your faults, I love you still,
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you!

instrumental verse

Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do
Nobody else gave me a thrill,
With all your faults, I love you still,
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you!
It just had to be you!


26.Love Is Here To Stay

Lyricist:G. GershwinI. Gershwin

It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, forever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
They're all just passing fancies
That in time may go

Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Oh, our love is here to stay


27.Stompin' At The Savoy

Lyricist:B. GoodmanC. WebbE. Sampson

Savoy, the home of sweet romance
Savoy, it wins you at a glance
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance
To dance
Your form, just like a clingin' vine
Your lips, so warm and sweet as wine
Your cheek, so soft and close to mine
Divine
How my heart is singin'
While the band is swingin'
Never tired of rompin'
And stompin' with you, at the savoy
What joy, a perfect holiday
Savoy, where we can glide away
Savoy, there let me stomp away
With you
Savoy, the home of sweet romance
Savoy, it wins you at a glance
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance
To dance


28.But Not For Me

Lyricist:G. GershwinI. Gershwin

They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me

With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any russian play
Could guarantee

I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi ho! alas!
And also, lackaday!

Although i can't dismiss

The memory of her kiss
I guess
She's not for me

It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fellow needs a friend

When every happy plot
Ends with a the marriage knot
And there's
No knot for me


29.Winter Wonderland

Lyricist:D. SmithF. Bernard

Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is parson brown
He'll say, 'Are you married?' We'll say, 'No, man
But you can do the job when you're in town'
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
We'll go walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland, hand in hand
We'll go walking, walking in a winter wonderland
In a winter wonderland


30.Don't Get Around Much Anymore

Lyricist:B. RusselD. Ellington

Missed the saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Thought i'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, i guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore


31.Autumn In New York

Lyricist:V. Duke

Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel, I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
May sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
Autumn in New York
The gleaming rooftops at sundown
Oh, autumn in New York
It lifts you up when you run down
Yes, jaded rous and gay divorces
Who lunch at the Ritz
Will tell you that it's divine
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Oh, autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain
Yes, lovers that bless the dark
Oh, on the benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
Autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again


32.I Could Write A Book

If they asked me I could write a book
About the way you walk and whisper and look
I could write the preface on how we met
So the world would never forget
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers a friends
And that simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers a friends


33.Let's Call The Whole Thing Off

Lyricist:G. GershwinI. Gershwin

You say 'either' and i say 'either'
You say 'neither' i say 'neither'
'either' 'either', 'neither' 'neither'
Let's call the whole thing off

You say 'potato' i say 'patattah'
You say 'tomato' i say 'creole tomatah'
Let's call the whole thing off

Oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part and
Oh, if we ever part
That would break my heart

I say 'ursta' you say 'oyster'
I'm not gonna stop eatin urstas
Just cause you say oysters,

Let's call the whole thing off

I say 'pajamas' you say 'pajamas'
Sugar, what's the problem?
For we know we need each other so
We'd better call the calling off off

Oh let's call it off, oh let's call it off
Oh let's call it off, baby let's call it off

Sugar why don't we call it off,
I'm talking baby why call it off
Let's call the whole thing off


34.It Had To Be You(Trio Instrumental)

Lyricist:G. KahnI. Jones

It had to be you, it had to be you,
I wandered around an' finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinkin' of you,
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill,
With all your faults, I love you still,
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you!

It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you!
It just had to be you!


35.Where Or When

Lyricist:L. HartR. 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 happen 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
