It's Just A Matter Of Time

Richard Everitt - Laurence Stith

© Morley Music, ASCAP

It's just a matter of time before you come to me
It's just a matter of waiting I'm patient as can be
This I know you're the one I've singled out from all the rest
And I have a reputation for singling out the very best

It's just a matter of time before our time begins
It's just a matter of waiting cause patience always wins
This I've found if you want it bad enough you'll get it all
And I want your arms around me I want you there each time I call

And you'll fall there's no doubt at all
That you'll be around whenever I call

Cause it's just a matter of time before our time begins
It's just a matter of waiting cause patience always wins
For this I know dreams you wait for have a way of coming true
And it's just a matter of time till I'm spending my time loving you
Now you oh you

If I Were In Your Shoes

Fred Ebb - John Kander

© Alley Music, BMI

So you're his new romance
You're lucky lucky girl
If I were in your shoes I'd dance

If I were you I would dance on air
I would bless my lucky star
There'd be smiles to spare
If I were who you are

It wasn't meant to be
So graciously I lose
But I would dance oh how I'd dance
If I were in your shoes

But now I sit alone
The quiet life I choose
Yet I would dance oh how I'd dance
If I were in your shoes

Meantime

Al Stillman - Robert Allen

© Korwin Music, ASCAP

Before I was born a lot of things happened
A lot of things happened but no to me
Before I was born a lot of things happened
That I didn't happen to see

After I'm gone a lot of things'll happen
A lot of things'll happen oh Lord amen
Yes after I'm gone a lot of things'll happen
But I won't know about them

Cause it's the meantime meantime
All they gave me is this in-between time
For my lovin' and my livin'
I gotta do it in the time I'm given

Meantime may mean nothing to posterity
But in the meantime doin' nothin' sure is worryin' me

Before I was born a lot of love happened
A lot of love happened there is no doubt
And after I'm born a lot of love'll happen
That I'll be doin' without

Cause it's the meantime meantime...

Meantime may mean nothing to posterity
But in the meantime doin' nothin' sure is worryin'
The way the time's a hurryin'
Meantime sure is a worryin' me
Oh me poor me

Try To Remember

Tom Jones - Harvey Schmidt

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember then follow
Follow follow follow follow

Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow

Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
When love was an ember about to billow
Try to remember and if you remember then follow

Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart is hollow

Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow
Follow follow follow follow follow

I'm All I've Got

Ronald Graham - Milton Schafer

© E.H. Morris Co, ASCAP

I'm all I've got
No matter what you cannot rearrange me
Into a shy a demure and a strange me
You'll never change me to what I'm not
I'm all I've got and I've got
Quite a lot of whatever I've got

One thing I'm not
I'm not a leaf in the gale that is blowing
Won't take a trail till I know where it's going
The boat I'm rowing a yacht it's not
Who needs a yacht when I've got
Such a lot of whatever I've got

I don't admire a million sheep
Who walk around just like a heaple
I'd rather jump right off a steeple
Or buy a firing shod be squat
Or buy a firing squad be shot
Then rot in a pignall or a slot

I'm all I've got
And when I look in the mirror I love it whoa
So let the whole world condemn me what of it
I rise above it

My simple plan is to be what I am
I am me and that's how you'll take me
You'll find you can't domesticate or break me
I am me and you can never make me what I'm not
I am stuck with whatever I've got
So rise or fall I'm all I've got

Maybe Soon

Richard Everitt - Laurence Stith

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Maybe soon or maybe not maybe just a breath away
Will love come or did it pass me yesterday
Maybe fall or maybe spring will it soon be mine to touch
Will it be or do I dream a bit too much

I close my eyes and imagine someone
Sharing my troubles my fun
And a boy comes to mind when I daydream
And he's always the same one

Maybe soon or not at all am I foolish to believe
Or will these hopeful arms receive their someone
Just maybe it just may be soon
[ instrumental ]
Or will these hopeful arms receive their someone
Just maybe it just may be soon

Maybe This Time

Fred Ebb - John Kander

© Southern Music, ASCAP

Maybe this time I'll be lucky
Maybe this time he'll stay
Maybe this time for the first time
Love won't hurry away

He will hold me fast
I'll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time and the time before

Everybody loves a winner so nobody loves me
Lady Peaceful Lady Happy that's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen happen sometime maybe this time I'll win

Ah everybody loves a winner so nobody loves me yeah
Lady Peaceful Lady Happy that's what I long to be
Now all the odds are there in my favor something's bound to begin
It's gotta happen happen sometime
Maybe this time maybe this time I'll win

Don't Ever Leave Me

Oscar Hammerstein - Jerome Kern

© Harms Music, ASCAP

Don't ever leave me now that you're here
This is where you belong
Everything seems so right when you're near
When you're away it's all wrong

I'm so dependent when I need comfort
I always run to you
Don't ever leave me cause if you do
I'll have no one to run to

The Travelin' Life

Gus Kahn - Howard Liebling - Marvin Hamlisch

© Leo Feist Music, ASCAP

Never was a stay at home
I've wandered hill and valley
with my two companions
Mister Rand and Mister McNally

Me I like the travelin' life
Yes I like to get around
I found that the life for me is bound to be
So free and easy easy and free

No matter where I chance to roam
Where I hang my hat that's home
I know the life for me is just to be
So free and easy easy and free
The travelin' the travelin'
I love the travelin' life

Pack your grip come with me
And we will see Capri and be in Napoli
For a weekend of fun
Plan a trip to Paris
There is a bistro on the left bank I like
Cause it's frankly a place most tourists shun

Why not try the travelin' life
You'll never want to settle down in town
Once you see it my way hit the highway
Every main road every byway

I won't give up the travelin' life
I'll give it all I've got to give
The free and easy easy and free
The travelin' life is the life for me
Yes that's the life for me
For me for me

Together (Wherever We Go)

Stephen Sondheim - Jule Styne

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Wherever we go whatever we do
We're gonna go through it together
We may not go far but sure as a star
Wherever we are it's together

Wherever he goes he knows I go
And wherever I go I know he goes
No fits no fights no feuds
And no egos Amigos together

Through thick and through thin
All out or all in
And whether it's win place or show
It's you for me and me for you
And we'll muddle through whatever we do
Together wherever we go

Through thick and through thin...

Blue Moon

Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers

© Robbins Music, ASCAP

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon here I go again
I hear 'em blow again
I'm all aglow again
Without a dream in my heart

Blue moon I think I'm gonna start again
A little ride again
I am starry-eyed again
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own my own

I walk around with a horseshoe
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
I'll take a chance on blue moon

I Knew Him When

E.Y. Harburg - Ira Gershwin - Harold Arlen

© New World Music, ASCAP

I knew him when
He bought me violets now and then
I knew him when
The ring he wore was purchased at the five and ten
I knew him when
We used to ride on top of a bus
And dream of that someday flat
And then the date for dinner at eight
At the automat

So that's the boy whose name is up in blazing lights
That's all there is
The boy made good but local girl is still in tights
There is no more
Together when the going was rough
He recognized me then
Sister it's tough when you know them when
