Perry Como Today Lyrics
1.Making Love To You

I'd love to spend my whole life through,
Makin' love to you!
It's just the nicest thing i do,
Makin' love to you!

Each time we're face to face,
Music fills the air!
And then when we embrace,
I hear violins, the song begins!

I never dreamed that you could be,
Makin' love to me!
That dream is now reality,
You are here with me!
Each night the miracle of rainbows come in view,
Because i'm makin' love to you!

I never dreamed that you could be,
Makin' love to me!
That dream is now reality,
&cause you are here with me!

Each night the miracle of rainbows come in view,
Because i'm makin' love to you!


2.Sing Along With Me

Sing along with me,
Sing a happy song!
I would guarantee.
That you can't go wrong!

You will be surprised,
At the way you'll feel,
All your cares and woes will be a hazy memory!
If you'll just agree,
Sing along with me!

Don't be too quick,
To say you can't sing a lick,
There's a trick to it all!
Make believe that you're takin' a shower,
And sing it out loud,
Sing to the crowd,
You'll be feelin' ten feet tall!

Sing along with me ( sing along with me )
Sing a happy tune ( sing a happy tune )
Let the butterfly ( let the butterfly )
Out of your cocoon! ( out of your cocoon )
You can finally be ( you can finally be )
Who you wanta be ( who you wanta be )
What you got to lose?
Forget your blues,
Now you're breakin' free ( now you're breakin' free )
Here's the recipe! ( here's the recipe )
Just sing along with me! ( la la, la la la . . . )


3.Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You

Tonight i celebrate my love for you,
It seems the natural thing to do!
Tonight, no one's going to find us,
We'll leave the world behind us,
When i make love to you, tonight!

Tonight i celebrate my love for you,
And hope that you can feel that way too!
Tonight our spirits will be climbin'
To a sky lit up with diamonds!
When i make love to you, tonight!

Tonight i celebrate my love for you,
And the midnight sun is gonna come shining through,
Tonight, there'll be no distance between us,
What i want most of you,
Is to get close to you,
Tonight!

Tonight i celebrate my love for you,
And soon this old world will seem brand new!
Tonight, we will both discover,
How friends turn into lovers,
When i make love to you, tonight!


4.Butterfly(I'll Set You Free)

Oh it's a sin to catch a butterfly,
So i won't ever try to keep you in a jar!
I'll just let you flip and flow and &round,
I'll never tie you down &cause that's the way you are!

Butterfly, i'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please fly home to me!

All the snow has melted from the ground,
When you first came around and held me it was spring!
April showers kept you here with me,
Was it your love for me or water on your wings?

Butterfly, i'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please make love to me!

It's a sin to catch a butterfly,
So i'll just say good-bye and watch you fly away!
But should you feel by the winter's chill,
Come to my window sill i'll never make you stay!

Butterfly, i'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please come home to me!


5.Bless The Beasts And The Children

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice,
They have no choice!

Bless the beasts and the children,
For the world can never be,
A world they see!

Light their way,
When the darkness surrounds them,
Give them love,
And let it shine all around them!

Bless the beasts and the children,
Give them shelter from the storm,
Keep them safe,
And keep them warm!


6.That's What Friends Are For

And i never thought i'd feel this way,
And as far as i'm concerned,
I'm glad i got a chance to say,
That i do believe i love you!

And if i should ever go away,
Well then close your eyes and try,
To feel the way we do today!
And then if you can remember . . .

Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!

For good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!

And so, by the way, i thank you and then,
For the times when we're apart,
Well then close your eyes and know,
These words are comin' from my heart!
And then if you can remember . . .

Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!

In good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!


7.Wind Beneath My Wings

It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face?
You've been content to let me shine,
You always walked a step behind.

I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength,
Only a face without a name,
I never once heard you complain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything i'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
&cause you are the wind beneath my wings!

It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But i've got it all here in my heart!
I want you to know i know the truth,
I would be nothin' without you!

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything i'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
&cause you are the wind beneath my wings,

You are the wind beneath my wings!


8.I'm Dreaming Of Hawaii

I'm dreaming of hawaii,
Where perfume fills the air.
And lovely gentle breezes,
Come and take away your every care.

The beauty of hawaii,
Is waiting just for you.
Let's fly there on a rainbow,
And let all our wildest dreams come true.

Palm trees are swayin'
Ukuleles are playin'
Your heart will keep sayin'
I've found a new home!

The trade winds seem to say,
We hope you'll stay,
It's here you'll find that longed for peace of mind . . .

There's romance in hawaii,
It's heaven by the sea.
I'm dreaming of hawaii,
It's a paradise for you and me!

Let's fly there on a rainbow,
And may all our wildest dreams come true.

Palm trees are swayin'
Ukuleles are playin'
Your heart will keep sayin'
I've found a new home!

The trade winds seem to say,
We hope you'll stay . . .
And it's here you'll find
That longed for peace of mind . . .

There's romance in hawaii,
It's heaven by the sea.
I'm dreaming of hawaii,
It's a paradise for you and me!


9.Do You Remember Me?

Do you remember me,
As i remember you?
I know, many years have passed,
Yet i still can't forget the love we shared.

Do you ever regret the day,
You turned and walked away?
Leaving a dream behind,
One i never could find again.

Life went on without you,
I willed it from my mind!
But still the memory lingers in my heart,
Of how we parted.

Do you remember why,
You had to say good-bye?
Do you every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!

Do you remember me,
Holding you tenderly?
Do you, every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!


10.Best Of Times

The best of times is now,
What's left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows!

So hold this moment fast ( hold it fast )
And live and love as hard as you know how ( you know how )
And make this moment last ( moment last )
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!

Now! not some forgotten yesterday,
Now! tomorrow is too far away!

So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!

The best of times is now,
What's left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows!

Now! ( this is the moment we should take )
Not some forgotten yesterday
( yesterday is just a faded memory )
Now! ( don't let this moment go to waste )
Tomorrow is too far away! ( too far, too far away )

So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!

Is now, is now!


11.You're Nearer

You're nearer, than my head is to my pillow,
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow.
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below,
Precious as the sun to the things that grow.
You're nearer, than the ivy to the wall is,
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.
Leave me, but when you're away, you'll know,
You're nearer, for i love you so!


12.My Heart Stood Still(1987 Version)

I took one look at you, that's all i meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk, my lips could move an' talk
And then my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all,
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still!

< instrumental break >

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all,
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still!

Hmmm!
