evergreen song

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I say to myself
What wonderful world


I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Bright sunny days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies
Are also on the faces of people walking by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
They're really saying
I love you


I see babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world


And I say to myself
What a wonderful world

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across a crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?


At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa .... they fell in love


His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?


At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa .... she lost her love


Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show
Now it's the disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!


At the Copa, Copacabana
The hottest spot north of Havana
At the Copa, Copacabana
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa .... don't fall in love
Don't fall in love

CHORUS:
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you


You came along just like a song and brightened my day. Who would've believed that you were part of dream? Now it all seems light years away and now you know...


CHORUS 2:
I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you're glad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile...


BRIDGE:
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find. Well, I'm finding
it hard leaving your love behind me and you see...


CHORUS 3:
I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
you see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you're glad
if you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

We all came out to Montreaux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, the fire in the sky
Smoke on the water


They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water,the fire in the sky


We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty, cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Makin' our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, we'll never forget
Smoke on the water,the fire in the sky
Smoke on the water, the fire in the sky

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today

I want to be a part of it - New York, New York

These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it - New York, New York

I want to wake up in that city, that doesn't sleep

And find I'm king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away

I'll make a brand new start of it - in old New York

If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you - New York, New York

New York, New York

I want to wake up, in that city that never sleeps

And find I'm A number 1, top of the list

King of the hill, A number 1

these little town blues, are melting away

I'm gonna make a brand new start of it, in old New York

and- If I can make it there, I'm gonna make it anywhere

It's up to you, New York- New York

New York!!!!

And now the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I'll say it clear

I'll state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

I've travelled each and every highway

and more, much more than this

I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few

But then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption

I planned each chartered course

Each careful step along the by-way

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Yes, there were times

I'm sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all

And I stood tall

And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed, and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way

"Oh no, oh no, not me

I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself then he has naught

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows I took the blows

And did it my way

Yes, it was my way

Love of my life, you hurt me,

You broken my heart and now you leave me.

Love of my life can't you see,

Bring it back, bring it back,

Don't take it away from me, because you don't know, what it means to me.

Love of my life don't leave me,

You've stolen my love, you now desert me,

Love of my life can't you see,

Bring it back, bring it back,

Don't take it away from me because you don't know what it means to me.

You won't remember

When this is blown over

And everything's all by the way

When I get older

I will be there by your side to remind you how I still love you - still love
you.

Back - hurry back,

Don't take it away from me,

because you don't know what it means to me - Love of my life

Love of my life...

Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear

Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats

You can't say we're satisfied

But Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried.

Angie, you're beautiful, but ain't it time we said goodbye

Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried

All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke

Let me whisper in your ear

Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here

Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet

I hate that sadness in your eyes

But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we say good-bye

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats

You can't say we're satisfied

But Angie, I still love you, Baby, ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes

There ain't a woman that comes close to you come on baby, dry your eyes

But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive

Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

Hey Jude, don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.


Hey Jude, don't be afraid.

You were made to go out and get her.

The minute you let her under your skin,

Then you begin to make it better.


And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.

For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool

By making his world a little colder.


Hey Jude, don't let me down.

You have found her, now go and get her.

Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.


So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,

You're waiting for someone to perform with.

And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,

The movement you need is on your shoulder.


Hey Jude, don't make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her under your skin,

Then you'll begin to make it

Better better better better better better, oh.

Da da da da da da, da da da, hey Jude

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe, in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh, yesterday, came suddenly

Why, she, had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said, something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe, in yesterday

Why, she, had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said, something wrong

Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe, in yesterday
