When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye

When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Ev'ry time we say goodbye
I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love
Is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it
That's from Every Time We Say Goodbye by Ella Fitzgerald. We sing it in my singing group 
I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done was wrong
Please, darling, don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye (goodbye)
I've been waiting here for so long
And all this time has passed me by
It doesn't seem to matter now
You stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say
Why don't you touch me, touch me?
Why don't you touch me, touch me?
Touch me now, now, now, now, now!
Touch me in the mornin'
Then just walk away
We don't have tomorrow
But we had yesterday
Hey, wasn't it me who said
That nothin' good's gonna last forever?
And wasn't it me who said
Let's just be glad for the time together?
It must've been hard to tell me
That you've given all you had to give
I can understand your feelin' that way
Everybody's got their life to live
If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night
Meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love
Is a love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Take me for a walk in the morning dew my honey
Take me for a walk in the morning dew my love
You can't go walking in the morning dew today
You can't go walking in the morning dew today
But listen, I hear a man moaning, "Lord"
I know I hear a man moaning, "Lord"
You didn't hear a man moan at all
You didn't hear a man moan at all
But I know I hear my baby crying, "Mama"
Yes, I know I hear my baby crying, "Mama"
You'll never hear your baby cry again
You'll never hear your baby cry again
Now, where have all the people gone?
Won't you tell me where have all the people gone?
Don't you worry about the people anymore
Don't you worry about the people anymore
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out fod the ties that bind
Because your mine , I walk the line
Well, it's all right even when push comes to shove
Well, it's all right if you got someone to love
Well, it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well, it's all right, we're going to the end of the line
Old man take a look at my life
I'm alot like you
I need someone to love me
The whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past
But I'm all alone at last
Rolling home to you
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy
Take me, if you please
O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
thy power throughout the universe displayed:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
how great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee,
how great thou art! How great thou art!The
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox they
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
If I could reach the stars
Pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth
That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams
And I could change the world
I could be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something good
Baby I could change the world
Woke up this morning feeling fine
There's something special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood,
whoa yeah (Ooh)
Something tells me I'm into something good
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
We are the youth ,we'll take the fascism away
We are the youth,apologise for another day
We are the youth and politicians are so sure
We are the youth and we are knocking on deaths door
They asked me how I knew my true love was true.
I of course replied, "Something here inside cannot be denied."
They said, "Someday you'll find all who love are blind.
When your heart's on fire, you must realise smoke gets in your eyes."
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed, to think they could doubt my love.
Yet today my love has blown away; I am without my love.
Now, laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide.
I just smile and say, "When a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your eyes."
Otto Harbach, what a poet. Not a dry eye in the house.
In your eyes, I can see my dream's reflections
In your eyes, found the answers to my questions
In your eyes, I can see the reasons why our love's alive
In your eyes, we're drifting safely back to shore
And I think I've finally learned to love you more
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
I close my eyes
Only for the moment, and the moments gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
And it breaks me up to hear it
