People say Come what may But I’ve, never been one to Wait around Never had the chance The right circumstance So here I am Wheels spinning on the ground And I’m wondering when I’ll find my way And then I won’t still have to say How Long? How Long? Until I See the sun again How Long? How Long? Until I Find that road around the bend What people say Tends to ricochet when it Doesn’t fit my own Point of view They say not to fast to make it last So what exactly am I supposed to do? And I’m wondering when I’ll find my way And then I won’t still have to say How Long? How Long? Until I See the sun again How Long? How Long? Until I Find that road around the bend

As long as i live Honey i wanna give you all of my heart can't be apart As long as i live yes i wanna give you the starts above that shine so give me just a little more time so i make this whole world yours and mine As

St. James Infirmary (my version) I went down to St. James Infirmary I saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long, white table So sweet, so cold, so fair Let her go, let her go and god bless her Wherever she may be I could search this whole world wide over Never find someone sweet as she is to me
4.
A Love I Can’t Explain I can’t explain this feeling in my heart I can’t contain the loneliness that spreads when we’re apart I can’t refrain from mentioning your name Every time they speak of love I hope you do the same I can’t contain this independent heart It’d be a shame to never, ever get the chance to start Would you see it through if i gave myself to you? What changed that day I just can’t say A love I can’t explain
5.
Changes in the weather Could make me feel sad The season could be the reason Why else would i feel so bad? It can’t be because The road as it was Never was that clear anyhow So you’re searching For an answer Could it be Something else? Changes in the tides Could make me feel blue The motion of the ocean Must be why act this way with you No I don’t suppose The words that you choose Could have anything to do with that So you’re searching For an answer Could it be Something else? Changes in our faces Could make me want to frown The creases, never cease(s) Whenever you’re around By now it should be Clear to you as to me Every little thing comes back around So you’re searching, For an answer Yes you’re searching, But you just can’t find the answer Could it be Could it be Could it be Something else?

The Carioca 04:29
Say, have you seen the Carioca? It's not a foxtrot or a polka It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs It has a meter that is tricky A bit of wicked wacky-wicky But when you dance it with a new love, there'll be true love in her eye You dream of a new Carioca Its theme is a kiss and a sigh You dream of a new Carioca When the music and lights are gone and we say goodbye Two heads together, they say are better than one Two heads together, that's how the dance is begun Two arms around you and lips, that's why I'm yours and you're mine Oh how the Carioca carries you away We'll Carioca till the break of day Now that you've done the Carioca You'll never care to do the Polka And then you'll realize the blue hula and bamboola are through Tomorrow morning you'll discover You're just a Carioca lover And when you dance it with each new love, there'll be true love just for you Now you'll dream of a new Carioca Its theme is a kiss and a sigh You'll dream of a new Carioca When the music and lights are gone and we'll say goodbye
7.
I don’t know why there’s a gleam in your eye But i hope it’s here to stay I don’t understand why you’re squeezing my hand But i wouldn’t have it any other way I was so unsure, distressed, insecure Until i saw you smile at me tonight I don’t pretend to be the one you think you see But your love well that’s enough for me
8.
Well you don't thrill me no more Well maybe you do just a little I wanted you around but i finally found I don't like i did before I don't like i did before I used to watch you when you made your rounds Your love to me was like a riddle My heart was blind but now i find It's not like it was before I don't like i did before Before was the time you said you were mine You had my poor head a reeling But finding you out well I'm not so devoted Cause i'm getting over that feeling You can't thrill me no more Well maybe you can just a little I wanted your kiss but your kiss i won't miss Not like i did before I don't like i did before
9.
Ain't That a Shame (slightly altered) You made me cry when you said goodbye Ain't that a shame My tears fell like rain Ain't that a shame But I'm the one to blame You broke my heart when you said we'll part Ain't that a shame My tears fell like rain Ain't that a shame But I'm the one to blame Oh well goodbye Although I'll cry Ain't that a shame My tears fell like rain Ain't that a shame But I'm the one to blame
10.
Lulu's Back in Town (my version) I gotta get my old tuxedo pressed Gotta sew a button on my vest 'Cause tonight I've gotta look my best Lulu's back in town Gotta get a half a buck somewhere Shine my shoes and slick my hair And get myself a boutonniere Lulu's back in town You can tell all my pets My Dames and Coquettes I Sincerly Regrets That I won't be around You can tell the mailman not to call I ain't comin' home until the fall And then again I might not get back home at all Lulu's back in town
11.
If You Ever Change Your Mind (Please Let Me Know) Every since you left me I’ve had a lot of time To think about the past The love you left behind It’s not that I don’t realize The reason you had to go But if you change your mind p Please let me know Now when I was a younger man I’d have tried to stand in the way But now i know when a fire is out There’s nothing you can do or say I guess I’m still just hoping there’s A spark, buried, below And if you change you your mind Please let me know And if you think you’d ever Well never say never And if you’re feeling torn apart, Please come home so we could start To love again would surely end The trail of pain and woe And if you change your mind Please let me know Minutes turn to hours And hours turn to days It could take a couple of years To float on through the haze Until then I’ll just pretend, Stay out of the undertow And if you change your mind, Yes if you change your mind, Please let me know
