Wonderful Day Like Today

Leslie Bricusse - Anthony Newley

© Musical Comedy Prod, BMI

On a wonderful day like today
I defy any cloud to appear in the sky
Dare any raindrop to plop in my eye
On a wonderful day like today

On a wonderful morning like this
The sun is as big as a yellow balloon
Even the sparrows are singing in tune
On a wonderful day like today

On a morning like this I can kiss everybody
So full of love and good will
Let me say furthermore I'd adore everybody
To come and dine the pleasures mine and I will pay the bill

May I take this occasion to say
That the whole human race should go down on its knees
Show that we're grateful for mornings like these
On a lovely day like today
[ instrumental ]
I dare any raindrop to plop in my eye
On a wonderful day like today
[ instrumental ]
Even the sparrows are singing in tune
On a wonderful day like today

On a morning like this I can kiss everybody
So full of love and good will
Let me say furthermore I'd adore everybody
That the pleasure's mine

May I take this occasion to say
That the whole human race should go down on its knees
Show that we're grateful for mornings like these
Cause the worlds in a wonderful way
On a beautiful day like today

Take The Moment

Stephen Sondheim - Richard Rodgers

© Williamson Music, ASCAP

Take the moment let it happen
Hug the moment make it last
Hold the feeling for the moment
Or the moment will have passed

All the noises buzzing in your head
Warning you to wait what for
Don't listen let it happen
Take the moment make the moment
Many moments more
Make for us a thousand more
Make for us a thousand more

I Wanna Be Around

Johnny Mercer - Sadie Vimmerstedt

© Commander Pub, ASCAP

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart as I
Ah somebody who will swear to be true
Like you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company
Wait and see

I wanna be around to see how she does it
When she breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if that puzzle fits so fine
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applauding from my front row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you like you broke mine
I've got a feelin' baby
When somebody somebody breaks your heart
Like you broke mine

Feeling Good

Leslie Bricusse - Anthony Newley

© Musical Comedy Prod, BMI

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze drifting by you know how I feel
It's a new dawn it's a new day it's a new life for me
Feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
It's a new dawn it's a new day it's a new life for me
Feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean
Butterflies all having fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Freedom is mine I know how I feel
It's a new dawn it's a new day it's a new life for me
Feeling good
Ah feeling good

Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)

Leslie Bricusse - Anthony Newley

© Musical Comedy Prod, BMI

Who can I turn to when nobody needs me
My heart wants to know and so I must go where destiny leads me
With no stars to guide me and no one beside me
I'll go on my way and after the day the darkness will hide me

And maybe tomorrow I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow beg steal or borrow my share of laughter
With you I could learn to with you on a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away

With you I could learn to with you on a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away

Willow Weep For Me

Ann Ronell

© Bourne Co, ASCAP

Willow weep for me willow weep for me
Bend your branches green along the stream
That runs to see listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me

Gone my lover's dream lovely summer's dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be hear me willow and weep for me

Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a breaking and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing and crying all alone

Weeping willow tree ah weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall bend oh willow and weep for me
When the shadows fall bend oh willow and weep for me

The Boy From Ipanema

Norman Gimbel - Vinicius DeMoraes - Antonio Jobim

© Duchess Music, BMI

Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes each girl he passes goes ah

When he walks he's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes each girl he passes goes ah

Oh but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes I smile but he doesn't see
[ instrumental ]
Oh but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead not at me

Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he walks I smile but he doesn't see
But he doesn't see

Softly As I Leave You

Antonio DeVita - Hal Shaper - Giorgio Calabrese

© Miller Music, ASCAP

Softly I will leave you
Softly for my heart would break
If you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly long before you miss

Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one hour of one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly as I'll leave you there
[ instrumental ]
Of one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall
So softly as I'll leave you there
As I'll leave you there

And I Love Him

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

I give him all my love that's all I do
And if you saw my love you'd love him too
And I love him

He gives me everything and tenderly
The kiss my lover brings he brings to me
And I love him

A love like ours could never die
As long as I have you near me
I give him all my love that's all I do
And if you saw my love you'd love him too
And I love him
[ instrumental ]
And I love him

A love like ours could never die
As long as I have you near me
I give him all my love that's all I do
And if you saw my love you'd love him too
And I love him

Hello Young Lovers

Oscar Hammerstein - Richard Rodgers

© Williamson Music, ASCAP

Hello young lovers whoever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you

Be brave young lovers and follow your star
Be brave and faithful and true
Cling very close to each other tonight
I have been in love like you

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
And to fly down a street in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
And you meet not really by chance

Don't cry young lovers whatever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my mem'ries are happy tonight
I've had a love of my own
I've had a love of my own like yours
I've had a love of my own

I know how it feels to have wings on your heels...
Don't cry young lovers whatever you do...
