Perry Como Perry Como Lyrics
1.Not While I'm Around

Nothin's gonna harm you, not while i'm around!
Nothin's gonna harm you, 'no sir!'
Not while i'm around!

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send then howling, i don't care,
I got ways!

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare!
Others can desert you, not to worry, whistle,
I'll be there!

Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time, nothin' can harm you,
Not while i'm around!

Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time, nothin's gonna harm you,
Not while i'm around!
Not while i'm around!


2.Regrets

I wish that i could take back
All of the things that i've done to hurt you!
I didn't mean to be so cruel!
And yet i know that i've been selfish
And, at times, a just fool!

And every thoughtless thing i've done
Keeps comin' back to haunt me
Because you took each one to heart!
And as i realize it's my fault
We've grown worlds apart . . .

I have regrets, regrets,
For my mistakes an' thinking only of my self
And all that i have left are these regrets, regrets,
For the things i did that somehow you just can't forgive
I guess i'll always have to live with these regrets

If i could right the wrong i've done
Maybe i could stop your leavin'
But there's so much i'm guilty of
And it's too late to say i'm sorry
'cause bein' sorry is not enough!

'cause with each angry word that i've said
Your love for me was dyin',
Each word left a lasting scar
And right now i feel so helpless,
Wishin' i could change the way things are . . .

I have regrets, regrets,
For my mistakes an' thinking only of my self
And all that i have left are these regrets, regrets,
For the things i did that somehow you just can't forgive
I guess i'll always have to live with these regrets . . .


3.When

When, when beauty fades from view,
As worldly things will do,
My eyes will still see you . . .

When, when dreams turn old and gray,
And seem to slip away,
My dream of you will stay . . .

Loving you, the way i do,
Wanting you, needing you,
Don't you know, can't you see,
My love will flow eternally . . .

< instrumental break >

Don't you know, can't you see,
My love will flow eternally . . .

And when, when evening shadows fall,
And you are in my arms,
I love you most of all . . .

Loving you, the way i do,
Wanting you, needing you,
Don't you know, can't you see . . . to fade


4.There'll Never Be Another Night Like This

There'll never be another night like this
A girl like you, to hold an' kiss!
Oh, there'll never be another night like this
A girl like you, to love!

I've been livin' in the past, hangin' on to yesterday
Walkin' down a sad road only leads a man one way
There are shadows in my eyes, empty fields in my heart
But you brought all the feelings back, an' given me a start!

There'll never be another night like this
A girl like you, to hold an' kiss!
Oh! . . . there'll never be another night like this
A girl like you, to love!

Touchin' you is touchin' me, like a spirit doin' free
If the end should come, this is the place i'd choose to be
You're a second chance at life, and it's better than the first
For you filled all my senses up, an' quenched a dyin' thirst!

There'll never be another night like this
A girl like you, to hold an' kiss!
Oh! . . . there'll never be another night like this
A girl like you, to love!

There'll never be
Another night like this!
Don't let go! . . . i won't let go!
Show everything there is to show!

There'll never be another night like this
A girl like you, to hold an' kiss!
Oh! . . . there'll never be another night like this
A girl like you, to love!

There'll never be
Another night like this . . . to fade


5.Love

Love, makes lovely out of lonely,
Love, with someone and only,
Time, time to take, time to share,
All that's hiding there, behind your heart,
As you start livin' for, a brighter, surer . . .

Love, to wrap around a romance,
Love, the dance of the slow dance,
One , one and one making more,
Than any one before,
By knowin' you're in love . . .

No more, waking up to no one there,
No more, handing out hands of solitaire,
And no more, new year's eve with the evening news,
No more blues . . . no more blues . . .

< instrumental break >

Love, love that speaks with a smile,
Knowing all the while, we wanna cry,
But you try smiling deeper, just to keep a . . .

Love, that writer's write their songs for,
Love, that poetry longs for,
You, and you alone,
Make my loneliness unknown,
An' so you own,
My love!


6.When She Smiles

Even though i loved you,
An' maybe i still do,
I'd rather have the one i'm with than cry again for you . . .
She don't have your magic,
An' she don't have your style,
But she don't cross her fingers when she smiles!

When she smiles,
She's like a sweet honest child,
She don't cross her fingers when she smiles!

< instrumental break >

The feeling's still still inside me,
An' i guess it's gonna stay,
I hope that you don't think that i can't turn and walk away,
Someone stood beside me through my heartaches and my trials,
She don't cross her fingers when she smiles!

She don't use the clever moves,
That players like you've known,
She can take me anywhere i'd ever care to go . . .

< instrumental break >

And if you think i'm foolin'
Then you can have a laugh on me!
But the day i sell my soul for you,
Is just a memory . . .
And if i ever see you girl,
I'll stop an' talk awhile,
I'll probably cross my fingers when i smile!

She don't cross her fingers
When she smiles!

She don't cross her fingers,
When she smiles!


7.The Colors Of My Life

The colors of my life, are bountiful and bold!
The purple glow of indigo, the gleam of green an' gold!
The splendor of a sunrise, the dazzle of a flame,
The glory of a rainbow, will put &em all to shame!

No quiet browns or grays, i'll take my days instead,
And fill them &till they overflow, with rose and cherry red!
And should this sunlit world, grow dark one day,
The colors of my life, will leave a shining light,
To show the way!

No quiet browns and grays, i'll take my days instead,
And fill them &till they overflow, with rose and cherry red!
And should that sunlit world, grow dark one day,
The colors of my life, will leave a shining light,
The colors of my life will light the way!


8.Save Me The Dance

Save me the dance
Where the lights go down low
Save me the one they call
The dance of 'love'!

When the room is dark,
Every heart's aglow
Save me the dance of love
An' never ever let me go!

It's our private song
And our private band
And when the dance is through
Forever ever hold my hand!

Save me the dance
Where the lights go down low
Save me the one they call
The dance of 'love'!


< repeat chorus three times >


9.Someone Is Waiting

Someone is waiting,
Waiting to walk from the shadow of lonely,
In to the sun . . .
It takes a moment to happen,
Fortune may smile on you,
Only a moment,
And there is the one!

High on a hilltop or in the heart of town,
A touch of the dreamer, won't let you down,
If not tomorrow, then someday,
Somehow in time you'll discover that someone,
Waiting ( waiting . . . )
Waiting, like me!

High on a hilltop or in the heart of town,
A touch of the dreamer, won't let you down,
If not tomorrow, then someday,
Somehow in time you'll discover that someone,
Waiting ( waiting . . . )
Like me!


10.You Are My World

If i told you, how i feel inside,
Would you understand the love i'm feelin'
Would you run away and hide?

I do, love you,
And i always will,
Love's not a word i've often spoken,
You make my restless heart stand still!

You are my world, my newborn soul,
Here is my heart for you to hold,
You're every dream of love come true,
Yes, everything i'll ever need is you!

( i will . . . ) i will . . . ( love you . . . ) love you . . .
( like no one before . . . )
An' should you ever ask how much i love you,
I'd say i couldn't love you more!

'cause you're my world, my newborn soul,
Here is my heart for you to hold,
You're every dream of love come true,
Yes, everything i'll ever need is you!

( you're every dream of love come true . . . )
Yes, everything i'll ever need is you!
