Intrumental only

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
some one else moved in from far away.

(chorus)
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,

Your lips could never show a smile.
You never tried you just put me in a file.
I never lived inside your hole , child.
I thought you needed me I never had no style.

Never say never say never again . Never say never say never again.
You said goodbye; I declared war on Spain.
Never say never say never again

Your eyes could never show a grin.
You never tried you just put me in a tin.

The circus is coming to see you .
The elephant smiles.
Ev'rybody can hear you say that's out of style.
My brother is friendly for reasons, if I am the same.
Just for four hundred seasons we all live in rain.

So I laugh in your face. Your only one race.
Yes I laugh in your face and I'm right.
You lie just like the rest. But there's nobody best.
So I laugh in your face and I'm right.

(spoken)
It's a square dance Mr Marshall. It's a square dance on the floor.
It's a square dance Mr Perkins. It's a square dance to be sure, to be sure.
Ev'rybody, grab partners ...

I'm just a clown that used to run around .
I used to have a million friends.
I used to start where ev'rybody ends.
But I just give my best to my friends .

I've done my shows. Ev'rybody knows .

See the children play the ball. See them play along the hall.
It makes me cry to see them smile.
I see the moon; I see the sky.
I see reflections in my eyes. And there's no one to share my life.
I need a life to go my way.
So ev'ry night I pray.
Just give me someone for my life.
I feel a clown. People try to play me down .
And there's one thing I never found .
The sound of love.

Alons, viens encore, cherie.
J'attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue.

Then I may end.
She had things to buy.
I close my eyes .
Yet I don't know why.
I gave her money; said she knew someone.
And she said she won't be long.

Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning.
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine.

Whisper, whisper. What have you got
I got something that you need a lot .
Stop me and buy one.
You can see better but you better not.

Listen mister can you help me
It's my sister . Show her how to fly.
Stop me and try one.
You can see ev'rything blowing by.

Whisper whisper. Keep it quiet.
If you like it you can try it too.
Stop me and buy one.
I am illegal that mean so are you

How can you tell by looking at me How can you tell you like what you see
Suddenly there's a boy in the rain alone.
Suddenly there's a girl in the rain alone.

How can you humans are real How can you tell you like what you feel
Suddenly there's a girl in your heart oh boy.
Suddenly there's a boy in your heart oh boy.
Ah....

Who is the girl with the crying face looking at millions of signs
She knows that life is a running race,
Her face shouldn't show any line.

Melody Fair won't you comb your hair You can be beautiful too.
Melody Fair , remember you're only a woman .
Melody Fair, remember you're only a girl. Ah...

Who is the girl at the window pane, watching the rain falling down

He made electric lights to read. He gave us light today.
He gave us cylinders to please.
When Edison came to stay. Edison came to stay.

Edison set the world on fire. He really made the day.
Station to station ; many wires.
Edison came to stay. Edison came to stay.

Oh, how , look at us now. We've still got a lot to learn.
But it's someone else's turn.

Sunday morning, woke up yawning; filled the pool for a swim.
Pulled down the head and looked in the glass just to see if I was in.
Went up the stairs and kissed my women to make her come alive.
'Cause with fifteen kids and a fam'ly on the skids,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.
Fifteen kids and a fam'ly on the skids ,
I got to go for a Sunday drive.

Where are you I love you . Where are you I love you .
Where are you to keep me warm

I had a dream of a place far away.
I followed a river where the dead man would play.
And I'm leaving in the morning.
And I'm leaving in the morning.
And I won't die, so don't cry. I'll be home.
Those big black diamonds that lie there for me.
By the tall white mountains which lie by the sea.

Ev'ry single word has been spoken.
It's much to late to change your ways.
Far too many vows have been broken.
You can't expect a soul to stay.
You think that you can stand and lie.
It makes me laugh . You got no friends.
It took a thousand years to find out why.
You'll never see my face again .

You know that you've been left before this night.
It's come my turn to make it over.

Fourteenth of February , eighteen ninety nine.
The British ship Veronica was lost without a sign.
Baa baa black sheep, you haven't any wool.
Captain Richardson left himself a lonely wife in Hull.

Cherub, I lost a ship in the Baltic sea.
I'm on an iceberg running free.
Sitting, filing this berg to the shape of a ship;
Sailing my way back to your lips.
