1.MY WAY

Written:Paul Anka/Claude Francois Ravaux/Gilles Thibault

An now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I travelled each and every high-way
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
I saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-way
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
May I say 'not in a shy way'
Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got
It not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Lyrics:Bart Howard
Music:Bart Howard

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

13.You Make Me Feel So Young

Lyrics:Mack Gordon/Josef Myrow
Music:Mack Gordon/Josef Myrow

You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung
Every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young


14.Save The Last Dance For Me

Lyrics:Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman
Music:Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman

You can dance ev'ry dance with the guy who gives you the eye,
let him hold you tight
You can smile ev'ry smile for the man who held your hand 'neath
the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're
gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me mmmm

Oh, I know that the music's fine like sparkling wine go and have
your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart don't give your heart to
anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arms you're
gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me mmmm

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance go and carry on till the night is gone and it's
time to go
If he asks if you're all alone can he take you home you must
tell him no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arm's
you're gonna be
So darlin save the last dance for me

Music interlude

'Cause don't forget who's taking you home and in whose arm's
your gonna be
So darlin save the last dance for me mmmm

Save the last dance for me mmmm

Save the last dance for me

15.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)


16.Lonely Boy

I'm just a lonely boy, lonely and blue
I'm all alone with nothing to do
I've got everything you could think of
But all I want is someone to love

Someone, yes, someone to love
Someone to kiss
Someone to love
At a moment like this

I'd like to hear somebody say
'I'll give you my love each night and day.'
A life-time of love means more to me
Than riches or fame untold

Somewhere there's a someone waiting for me
I'll find her before I grow too old
Somebody, somebody, somebody
Pleasee send her to me

I'll make her happy, just wait and see
I prayed so hard to the heavens above
That I might find someone to love

Repeat whole
