Where Have All The Flowers Gone?

When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

What Kind Of Fool Am I?

What kind of fool am I,
Who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one
That I have been thinking of.

What kind of man is this?
An empty shell,
A lonely cell
In which an empty heart must dwell.

What kind of lips are these
That lied with ev'ry kiss,
That whispered empty words of love
That left me alone like this?

Why can't I fall in love
Like any other man,
And maybe then I'll know
what kind of fool I am.

---------------

What kind of fool am I,
Who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one
That I have been thinking of.

What kind of man is this,
An empty shell,
A lonely cell
In which an empty heart must dwell?

What kind of clown am I?
What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away
The mask of play
And live my life?

Why can't I fall in love
'Til I don't give a damn,
And maybe then I'll know
What kind of fool I am.

With These Hands

With These Hands
I will cling to you.
I'm yours forever and a day.

With These Hands
I will bring to you
A tender love as warm as May.

With this heart
I will sing to you
Long after stars have lost their glow,
and
With These Hands
I'll provide for you
Should there be
A stormy sea.

I'll turn the tide for you,
And I'll never,
No, I'll never
Let you go.

Speak Low

Speak low
When you speak, love.
Our summer day
Withers away
Too soon,
Too soon.

Speak low
When you speak, love.
Our moment is swift
Like ships adrift,
We're swept apart
Too soon.

Speak low,
Darling, speak low.
Love is a spark
Lost in the dark
Too soon,
Too soon.

I feel
Wherever I go
That tomorrow is near,
Tomorrow is here,
And always too soon.

Time is so old,
And love so brief.
Love is pure gold,
And time a thief.

We're late,
Darling, we're late.
The curtain descends,
Ev'rything ends
Too soon,
Too soon.

I wait,
Darling, I wait.
Will you speak low to me,
Speak love to me and soon?

September Song

Oh it's a long, long while
From May to December,
But the days grow short
When you reach September.

When the autumn weather
Turn the leaves to flame,
One hasn't got time
For the waiting game.

Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few -
September,
November.

And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These precious days
I'll spend with you.

Sing a Song

Sing a song, it'll make your day
Here's a time to shout
Sing a song, it'll make a way
Sometimes it's hard to care
Sing a song, it'll make your day
A smile so hard to bear
Sing a song, it'll make a way

Singasong
Singasong
Singasong
Singasong

Bring your heart to believing
Sing a song, it'll make your day
Life ain't about no retrieving
Sing a song, it'll make a way
Give yourself what you need
Sing a song, it'll make your day
Smile, smile smile and believe
Sing a song, it'll make a way

Singasong
Singasong
Singasong

Somewhere, Beyond The Sea

Somewhere,
Beyond The Sea,
Somewhere,
Waiting for me,
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships
That go sailing.

Somewhere,
Beyond The Sea,
She's there
Watching for me.
If I could fly like birds on high,
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing.

It's far
Beyond a star.
It's near
Beyond the moon.
I know
Beyond a doubt
My heart leads me there soon.

We'll meet
Beyond the shore.
We'll kiss
Just as before.
Happy we'll be
Beyond The Sea,
And never again
I'll go sailing.

Linger Awhile

The stars shine
Above you,
Yet linger awhile.
They whisper
"I love you",
So linger awhile.

And when you
Have gone away,
Each hour
Will seem a day.
I've something to tell you,
So linger awhile.

***************


Careless Hands

I let my heart
Fall into Careless Hands.
Careless Hands
That broke my heart in two.

You held my dreams
Like worthless grains of sand.
Careless Hands
Don't care when dreams slip through.

I brought you joy
And, Dear, I loved you so,
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow.

If you don't change,
Some day you'll know the sorrow of
Careless Hands
That can't hold on to love.
