Well here's something different…

I'll Keep My Eye On You Dear
Seasons may come, seasons may go
Summer brings rain, like winter brings snow
But through all of these changes,
still I’ll stop and tell you so you know...

I’ll keep my eye on you dear, remember you’ve been told
putting our heads together, as our brows are growing old
maybe it’s not as simple, as it was years ago...
(still) I’ll keep my eye on you dear, yes you have my hand to hold

I’ll keep my eye on you dear, whenever skies turn grey
’n steer you through stormy weather, when the clouds get in your way
maybe i’m not as dashing, as I was years ago...
(still) I’ll keep my eye on you dear, yes you have my hand to hold

Loving you’s a part of me,
I’d never turn my back
and walk away, oh no my dear
I never would do that...

I’ll keep my eye on you dear, we are two of a kind
maybe I’m old fashioned, you see I don’t really mind
to me you are just as lovely, as you were years ago...
(still) I’ll keep my eye on you dear
yes you have my hand, yes you have my hand
yes you have my hand...to hold...


You Again
You again
I thought that we were through again
and I would be so blue again
with regret...

now with you again
I’ll try to make it new again
cuz it’s all that I can do
you see I’m still in love with you...

You again
You promised to be true again
and I will never rue again
the day we met...

with you again
I’ll probably play the fool again
but I’m following my heart
‘n hope we’ll make a brand new start...

OH YES I’VE HAD OTHER LOVERS
I’M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY
BUT NONE OF ALL THESE OTHERS
COULD MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY

(so it’s) You again
you promised to be true again
and I will never rue again
the day we met...

with you again
I’ll probably play the fool again
but I’m following my heart
cuz it’s the only place to start... with You Again
I Forgot to Forget About You
Every evening we kiss
i wake dreaming of this (and)
i forgot to forget, it’s clear, my dear
don’t you forget it

don’t forget the way you smile & sigh
little things that you do…to me…
oh my

and if you ever would doubt
what this love is about (please)
pick the phone up & call…and call on me

a thousand daydreams sailing in the air
stay high…’n flying
they forgot to forget
about you…

Table for Two
Table for two
lonely & blue
where can that boy be now?
It’s a quarter past eight
I said…don’t be late
but I knew he would somehow…

Table for two
what can I do?
it always turns out this way
He gets to choose
while I sing the blues
alone in this small cafe…

There’s an old saying, that love takes time
I’m not complainin’ but the time’s usually mine…

Table for one
he didn’t come
I called him no one was home
(He’s probably) out on the town
so I’ll go sit down
and dream of him all alone…

(at my) Table for two

I Know You Oh So Well
The planet’s whirl around the sun, in circular design
never seem to catch each other, but occasionally they align
and when they do, it’s oh so rare
fireworks in the summer’s air
(makes it) finally fair to say…

I love you
you love me
I can tell
I know you oh so well…

these little things
are so lovely
(they) cast a spell
I know you oh so well…

it’s like the morning has come, brought the sun, and put luck in my pocket
my heart, it carries this locket of you
I know it sounds funny…

years may come
years may go
time will tell
I know you oh so well…

when the dark clouds come, and they block the sun…
I’ll keep holding on to, love I want to, carry with me all my life

(so) promise me
I’ll promise you
let’s kiss & tell
to these wedding bells
darling since I fell
I know you oh, so…well

Glad To Be Anywhere With You
Sometimes the weather isn’t sunny
but it never ever leaves me blue
Glad to be right here
Glad to be right there
I’m just GLAD TO BE… ANYWHERE WITH YOU

and if I ever seem too happy
please don’t rain on my parade
Glad to be right here
Glad to be right there
(GLAD TO BE) ANYWHERE WITH YOU

birdies sing, on the wing
the mornings filled up with song
fly so high, well so am I
nothing…could ever could go wrong…

robin’s sing, bells they ring
blossoms perfume the air
the sun it shines; the poem rhymes
I feel so good…it just isn’t fair

now please don’t ever lose this feeling
’n I will never ever lose this smile
smiling left-right here
smiling right-right there
SMILING ANYWHERE WITH YOU
(I’m not kidding)
(GLAD TO BE) ANYWHERE WITH YOU
(but seriously…)
(GLAD TO BE) ANYWHERE WITH YOU
( just one more time)
(GLAD TO BE) ANYWHERE WITH YOU
