The Scene Changes

Perry Como The Scene Changes Lyrics
1.Where Does A Little Tear Come From ?

Where does a little tear come from?
Where does a little . . . tear . . . come from?
It comes from a heart that's been broken apart,
That's where a little tear comes from!

Where does a broken heart come from?
Where does a broken . . . heart . . . come from?
It comes when you find that you love the rovin' kind,
That's where a broken heart comes from!

Where does the rovin' kind come from?
Where does rovin' . . . kind . . . come from?
From the wind and restless river that wanders on forever
That's where the rovin' comes from!

Where does the restless river come from?
Where does restless . . . river . . . come from?
It comes from little tears that are shed through the years
That's where the restless river comes from . . .

. . . that's where the restless river comes from . . .


2.Funny How Time Slips Away

Well, hello there!
My, it's been a long, long time . . .
How am i doin' ? oh, i guess i'm doin' fine
It's been so long now, and it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee! ain't it funny, how time slips away?

How's your new love?
I hope he's doin' fine
Heard you told him that you'd love him 'till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing,
The same thing you told me, seems like just the other day
Gee! ain't it funny, funny how time slips away?

< instrumental break ~ sax solo >

Just you remember, what i tell you
That in time you're gonna pay
And it's surprisin',
Surprisin' how time slips away!


3.Here Comes My Baby(Back Again)

Here comes more tears to cry
Here comes more heartaches by
Here comes my baby back again!

Here comes more misery
Here comes old memories
Here comes my baby back again!

My arms are open wide
To let more hurt inside
Here comes my baby back again!

She's sorry once again
Once more i'll understand
Here comes my baby back again!

4.Sweet Adorable You

( who? . . . you! . . . who? . . . you!
. . . sweet adorable you! )

Who is the one, i couldn't do without
An' who is the one, i always think about?
In every little thing i do, nobody but you,
Sweet adorable . . . you, you, you, you . . . ( who? )
Sweet adorable you!

Where do i go, when i need company,
An' who do i need, to make things right for me?
The one who makes my dreams come true, nobody but you,
Sweet adorable . . . you, you, you, you . . . ( who? )
Sweet adorable you!

I'm such a lucky guy, an' that's the reason why,
I'll always be true . . .
There's not a minute of the day that can keep me away
From the love of sweet little you!

In every dream, you are the only one,
An' in every dream, i always seem to run
Until i'm standin' there with you, nobody but you,
Sweet adorable . . . you, you, you, you . . . ( who? )
Sweet adorable you!

( he's such a lucky guy, an' that's the reason why,
He'll always be true . . . )

There's not a minute of the day that can keep me away
From the love of sweet little you!

In every dream, you are the only one,
An' in every dream, i always seem to run
Until i'm standin' there with you, nobody but you,
Sweet adorable . . . you, you, you, you . . .
Sweet adorable you ( you, you, you, you . . . who? )
Sweet adorable you!


5.I Really Don't Want To Know

How many arms have held you
And hated to let you go?
How many, how many i wonder?
But i really don't wanna know . . .

How many lips have kissed you
And set your soul aglow?
How many, how many i wonder?
But i really don't wanna know ( want to know! )

So always make me wonder
Always make me guess
And even if i ask you
Darling don't confess . . .

Just let it remain your secret
But darling i love you so . . .
No wonder, no wonder i wonder,
Though i really don't wanna to know . . .

Though i really don't wanna to know . . .


6.That Ain't All

I'm gonna buy you a big hat with feathers an' plumes
I'm gonna buy you a mansion with sixty thousand rooms
An' that ain't all . . . no that ain't all!

I'm gonna buy you powder, i'm gonna buy you paint
Gonna fix you up an' make you look like somethin' you ain't
An' that ain't all . . . no that ain't all!

I'm gonna buy you a fur piece, i'm gonna buy you gloves
I'll buy you anything if you will give me all of your love
An' that ain't all ( that ain't all! ) no that ain't all ( that
ain't all! )

< instrumental break >

I'm gonna buy you a rolls royce, get you a chauffeur too
But the chauffeur's gonna be a woman just like you
An' that ain't all ( that ain't all! ) no that ain't all ( that
ain't all! )

I'm gonna buy you dresses, 'till your wardrobe falls
You're gonna die of old age before you wear them all
An' that ain't all ( that ain't all! ) that ain't all ( that
ain't all! )

< instrumental break >

If we're both a livin' in nineteen ninety-five
They will have a pill by then to keep us both alive
An' that ain't all ( that ain't all! ) that ain't all ( that
ain't all! )

All these things i'll buy you, if you'll just wait for me
'cause i'll be out of prison in nineteen eighty-three
An' that is all ( and that is all! ) that is all ( and that is
all! )

That is all ( and that is all! ) that is all!


7.Dream On Little Dreamer

Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
I get a heart full of butterflies, lookin' into your dreamy eyes
Dream on ( dream on! ) little dreamer dreamer on!

Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream about a love so true, dream about how i love you
Dream on ( dream on! ) little dreamer dreamer on!

You know i love you,
I love you, i need you so bad
Each night i realize,
When you close your dreamy eyes

Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream about a love so fine, sweet as apple berry wine
Dream on ( dream on! ) little dreamer dreamer on!

. . . little dreamer dreamer on!


8.Stand Beside Me

Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one whoever made me care
I can't stand to think that i might be alone
Not alone again, not the way it was back then . . .
Before you walked into my heart
An' told me we would never part
So stand beside, don't ever let me be alone again!

Stand beside me, stand beside me
Or if i should lose you i just couldn't . . .
Get anywhere . . .
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one whoever made me care

I know there'll be times when everything goes wrong
But darling i won't care
If i know you're standin' there!
No matter what we have to do
Together we can see it through
So stand beside me, an' i'll be standin' right there next to
you!

Stand beside me, stand beside me
Or if i should lose you i just couldn't . . .
Get anywhere . . .
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one whoever made me care

You're the only one
Whoever made me care . . .


9.A Hatchet, A Hammer, A Bucket Of Nails

A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails
An' all the wood i can find
I'll build me a cabin on top of the hill
Got all the plans in my mind . . .

Where the tree tops talk to the wind
Where the eagle flies
I'll bring her to see it the minute i'm through
Won't she light up with surprise!

A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails
An' just my two hands, but with some help from above
The walls will start risin', the roof will go on
The final touch will be love . . .

Where the tree tops talk to the wind
Where the eagle flies
The preacher will bless us as we hurry to
Our happy home in the skies . . .

As soon as we're married,
We're movin' in to
Our happy home in the skies . . .

( a hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails . . . )
Our happy home in the skies . . .


10.Gringo's Guitar

( listen . . . shh . . . listen! there, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
Are sung by the haunted wind! )

Down in nualo, laredo,
On the border of ol' mexico
There's a legend they tell of a cowboy,
A tall texas drover named 'joe'
But the braseros just call him 'gringo',
The gringo who played the guitar
To the mexican girl that he loved so,
'neath the misty mexico star

( listen . . . shh . . . listen! there, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
Are sung by the haunted wind! )

He sang of the day when they'd marry,
When the round-up was over an' through
And great were the plans for their wedding,
And for dreams they dreamed would come true
But he never came back from the round-up,
A stampeding herd ran him down
But, sometimes, strange and beautiful music
Of a guitar is heard through the town

( listen . . . shh . . . listen! there, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
Are sung by the haunted wind! )


11.My Own Peculiar Way

It would be a comfort to know you never doubt me
Even though i give you cause most every day
Sometimes i think that you'd be better off without me
Although i love you in my own peculiar way!

Don't doubt my love if sometimes my mind should wander
To a suddenly remembered yesterday
My thoughts could never stray too long away from you
Because i love you in my own peculiar way!

Though i may not always be the way you'd have me be
Though my faults may grow in number day by day
Let no one ever say i've ever been untrue
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way!

I'll always love you . . .
In my own peculiar way!


12.Give Myself A Party

I've got a lot of memories to last me the rest of my life
So if you don't wanna love me, baby that'll be alright
I'm gonna take all the lovin' that i have for you
Gonna take all the loneliness an' sit right down with the blues!

I'm gonna give myself a party, an' serve old memories
Give my self a party, think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness that once we knew
Gonna give myself a party, just me an' the blues!

< instrumental break >

A few of your love letters, a photograph or two
A gift you gave on my birthday with words of 'i love you'
There's lots of things to think about, when you're feelin' blue
So i'm gonna take all the loneliness, sit right down with the
blues!

I'm gonna give myself a party, an' serve old memories
Give my self a party, think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness that once we knew
I'm gonna give myself a party, just me an' the blues!

. . . just me an' the blues!
