Good Night My Someone from the Music Man

Goodnight, my someone,
Goodnight, my love,
Sleep tight, my someone,
Sleep tight, my love,
Our star is shining it's brightest light
For goodnight, my love, for goodnight.
Sweet dreams be yours, dear,
If dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
True love can be whispered from heart to heart
When lovers are parted they say
But I must depend on a wish and a star
As long as my heart doesn't know who you are.
Sweet dreams be yours dear,
If dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight.
Goodnight,
Goodnight.

Lover you should've come over by Jeff Buckley sung by Jamie Cullum

Everyone says that Jeff Buckley's version is way better. I haven't heard it and since I like Jamie Cullum's so much I think I will keep it that way for a bit.

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I am too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight... you're on my mind
So you'll never know

I'm broken down and hungry for your love
No way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
You know how much I need it
Too young to hold on
And too old to break free and run

Sometimes a man, he gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
Cuz sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one... (oooohhh)

So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
Oh will I ever see your sweet return
Oh, will I ever learn
Oh lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him

My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come


Sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And he's much too blind to see the damage he's done
'Cause sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one...

So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
Oh, will I ever see your sweet return
Oh, will I ever learn,
Oh, lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late!

Cause it's not too late

You don't know my name by Alicia Keys

Baby, baby, Baby
From the day I saw you
Really, really wanted to catch your eye
Somethin' special bout' you
I must really like you
'Cause not a lot of guys are worth my time

Oh baby, baby, baby
It's getting kind of crazy
'Cause you are taking over my mind

(Chorus)
And it feels like oooooh
You Don't know my name
I swear, it feels like ooooooh
You Don't know my name
(round and round and round we go,will you ever know)

Oh! Baby, baby, baby
I see us on our first date
you doing everything that makes me smile
When we had our first kiss
It happened on a Thursday
ooh it set my soul on fire
oooh Baby, baby, baby
I can't wait for the first time
My imagination's running wild

(Chorus)
It feels like oooooh
You Don't Know My Name
And I swear it Baby, it feels like ooooooh
You Don't Know My name
(Round and round and round we go, will you ever know)

I'm sayin, he don't even know what he's doin to me
Got me feelin all crazy inside
I'm feelin like, Oh!
Doing nothing I've ever done, for anyone's attention
Take notice of what's in front of you
'Cause did I mention (oh!) You bout' to miss a good thing
And you'll never know how good it feels
To have, all my affection
And you'll never get a chance to experience, my lovin (oh!)
'Cause my lovin feels like

(Chorus)
oooooh
You Don't Know my name
And I swear it feels like
oooooooh

Will you ever know it?
I'm going to have to go ahead and just call this boy
Hello, can I speak to..to Michael
Oh hey, how ya' doin'?
I feel kinda' silly doin' this, but uh
This is the waitress from the coffee house on 39th and Lennox
(Chuckle) you know the one with the braids?
Yeah
Well I see you on Wednesday's, all the time
You come on every Wednesday on your lunch break I think
You always order the special, with the hot chocolate
My manager be trippin bout we got to use water
But I always use some milk and cream for you
coz I think you're kinda sweet
Anyway you always got on some fly blue suit

'n your cufflinks are shining all bright
So, whatchu do? Oh, word? Yeah, that's interesting


Look man I mean, I know girls don't usually do this
But I was wonderin'
if maybe we could get together outside the restaurant one day
You know, 'cause I do look a lot different outside my work clothes
(Chuckle) Wait a minute, my cell phones breakin' up
Can you hear me now?
yeah, so what day did you say?
Oh, Thursday's perfect

(Chorus)
And it feels like oooohhh
You Don't Know My name
And I swear on my mother and father it feels like
oooooooh
oooooooh
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Will you ever know?

Island in the Sun by Weezer

Hip hip
Hip hip
Hip hip
Hip hip

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

Hip hip
Hip hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip hip
Hip hip
Hip hip

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip hip

We'll never feel bad anymore
No no
We'll never feel bad anymore
No no
No no
No no

Now or Never by Elvis Presley

Did I ever mention that I like Elvis?

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

When I first saw you
with your smile so tender
My heart was captured,
my soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
waiting for the right time
Now that you're near
the time is here at last.

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

Just like a willow,
we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me,
let your arms invite me
For who knows when
we'll meet again this way

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

it's now or never 
My love won't wait.

it's now or never
My love won't wait.


repeat to the end

Do I love you because you're beautiful?

A Rodgers and Hammerstein favourite of mine. 

Do I love you because you're beautiful,
or are you beautiful because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you
a girl too lovely to be really true?

Do I want you because you're wonderful,
or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

Am I making believe I see in you
a man too perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful,
or are you wonderful because I want you?

Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Goodnight Sweetheart by the Flamingos

Goodnight sweetheart
Til we meet tomorrow
Goodnight sweetheart
Sleep will vanish sorrow.

Tears and parting
May make us forlorn
But with the dawn
A new day is born.

Goodnight sweetheart
Though I'm not beside you
Goodnight sweetheart
Still my love will guide you.

Dreams will enfold you
In each one I'll hold you
Goodnight sweetheart
Dreams will enfold you.

In each one I'll hold you
Goodnight sweetheart goodnight...

I will wait for you - Jack Jones


If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
'Til you're back beside me, 'til I'm holding you
'Til I hear you sigh here in my arms

Anywhere you wonder, anywhere you go
Every day remember, how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forever more I'll wait for you

If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
'Til you're back beside me, 'til I'm touching you
And forever more cherish your love

If it takes forever, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers, I will wait for you
'Til you're back beside me, 'til I'm touching you
And forever more cherish your love

Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember, how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forever more I'll wait for you

If it takes forever, if it takes forever
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you, I will wait for you
For a thousand summers
I will wait for you
For you...

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

We'll do it all, everything, on our own
We don't need anything or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
to remind me
to find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
I just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

Please don't leave me by Pink

Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da-da da

I don't know if I can yell any louder
How many times have I kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?
Da da da da-da

I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces

When my heart is
Broken
Da da da-da da

Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty

Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise
Da da da-da da

Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

I forgot to say out loud
How beautiful you really are to me
I can't be without
You're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you
I'm sorry

Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da da-da da
Please, please don't leave me

Baby, please don't leave me
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please,don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please don't leave me
Please, please don't leave me

What'll I do - a standard

Two movies come to mind: the 1970's Great Gatsby (with Sam Waterson ( law and order) , Mia Farrow, oh and Robert Redford ^-^).

and Mona Lisa Smile: which is a very niche movie. If you like anything retro it might be worth a whirl. oh and Golden Girls Bea Arthur's rendition was also very nice. Totally reminds me of -le sigh- the break up.

Gone is the romance that was so divine.
'Tis broken and can not be mended.
You must go your way and I must go mine.
But now that our love dreams have ended...

What'll I do when you are far away
And I am blue, what'll I do?
What'll I do when I am wond'rin who
Is kissing you, what'll I do?

Chorus:
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to when I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true, what'll I do?


What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to when I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true, what'll I do?

What'll I do?
What'll I do?

Who's Sorry Now by Connie Francis

Who's sorry now, who's sorry now
Who's heart is aching for breaking each vow
Who's sad and blue, who's crying too
Just like I cried over you.

Right to the end just like a friend
I tried to warn you some how
You had your way now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now.

Right to the end just like a friend
I tried to warn you some how
You had your way now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now...
