What
a wonderful word
I see
trees of green, red roses too
I see them
bloom for me and you
And I
think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see
skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright
blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I
think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors
of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also
on the faces of people going by
I see
friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're
really saying I love you.
I hear
babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll
learn much more than I'll never know
And I
think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I
think to myself what a wonderful world
Go down, Moses When Israel was in Egypt's Land: Let my people go. Oppress'd so hard they could not stand, Let my people go. Refrain: Go down Moses 'way down in Egypt's land Tell ol' Pharaoh, Let my peoples go. Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said: Let my people go. If not I'll smite your firstborn dead, Let my people go. O let us all from bondage flee; Let my people go. And let us all in Christ be free! Let my people go Hello, Dolly!

Kiss of fire I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire I can't resist you, what good is there in trying? What good is there denying you're all that I desire? Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be Don't pity me, don't pity me Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be Don't pity me, don't pity me Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me Though it consumes me……. your kiss of fire!!! I get ideas When we are dancing and your dangerously near me I get ideas, I get ideas I want to hold you so much closer than I dare I want to scold you 'cause I care more than I care to And when you touch me and there's fire in every finger I get ideas, I get ideas And after we have kissed goodnight and still you linger I kinda think you get ideas too Your eyes are always saying the things you're never saying I only hope they're saying that you could love me too For that's the whole idea it's true, The lovely idea that I'm falling in love with you Cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in Heaven, And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak; And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek. Heaven, I'm in Heaven, And the cares that hang around me thro' the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek. Oh! I love to climb a mountain, And to reach the highest peak, But it doesn't thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek. Oh! I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek, But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek. Dance with me I want my arm about you; The charm about you Will carry me thro' to Heaven I'm in Heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak; And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek C'est si bon / It's so good C’est si bon Lovers say that in France When they thrill to romance It means that it's so good C'est si bon So I say to you Like the French people do Because it's oh so good Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear, Leads to only one thought And the thought is this, dear! C'est si bon Nothing else can replace Just your slyest embrace And if you only would be my own for the rest my days I will whisper this phrase My darling, my darling... C’est si bon! Blueberry hill I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill On Blueberry Hill when I found you The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill And lingered until my dreams came true (The wind in the willow played Love's sweet melody But all of those vows we made Were never to be) Though we're apart, you're part of me still For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill (I found my thrill) Come climb the hill with me, baby (on Blueberry Hill) We'll see what we shall see (on Blueberry Hill) I'll bring my horn with me (when I found you) I'll be wit' you where berries are blue (the moon stood still) Each afternoon we'll go (on Blueberry Hill) Higher than the moon we'll go (and lingered until) Then, to a weddin' in June we'll go (my dreams came true) Ba-ba-da-de-buzz-buzz va-de-n-da-day The wind in the willow played (do you really love me) Love's sweet melody (as I love you?) But all of those vows we made (will you still remember) Were never to be (when the night is through?) Though we're apart, you're part of me still For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill Cone fishing I'll tell you why I can't find you Every time I go out to your place... You gone fishin' (well how you know) Well there's a sign upon your door (uh-huh) Gone fishin' (I'm real gone man) You ain't workin' anymore (could be) There's your hoe out in the sun Where you left a row half done You claim that hoein' ain't no fun (well I can prove it) You ain't got no ambition Gone fishin' by a shady wady pool (Shangrila, really la) I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool (should I twist your arm?) I'd say no more work for mine (welcome to the club) On my door I'd hang a sign Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin' Papa Bing (yeah Louis) I stopped by your place a time or two lately And you aren't home either Well, I'm a busy man Louis.
