BRUSH THOSE TEARS

BRUSH THOSE TEARS
Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you
Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That from now on I'll always be true
I went away
But I didn't mean to stay
And I will regret it
Until my dying day
Brush those tears from your eyes
And try to realize
That the ache in my heart is for you

BABY BABY, ALL THE TIME

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

Once I had a gal,
As sweet as she could be.
Once I had a gal,
And she was right for me.
Kinda sandy hair,
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldn't help but care
When she looked at you.
She called me "baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
She said, "Baby, can't you see?
"Baby, understand
"Baby, you're for me,
Won't you take my hand?"
But I pushed her away,
Wouldn't let her near
Pushed her far away
Now I'm wishing I could hear her
Call me "Baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
~interlude~
It's so lonely through the day,
Lonely through the night,
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that gal I held so tight.
Lord, I pray that You
Will listen to my plea.
Keep her close to You
So she'll come back to me,
And call me "Baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
Baby...
Baby, all the time.

ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE

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

What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why, it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why, it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling
I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love

DANCE, BALLERINA, DANCE

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

(Bob Russell, Carl Sigman)
Dance, ballerina, dance
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart.
Dance, ballerina, dance
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part.
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row.
This is your moment, girl,
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show.
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead.
I guess that's your concern,
We live and learn.
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance.
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina, dance
Dance, dance!
Whirl, ballerina!
Once you said his love must wait its turn,
You wanted fame instead.
I guess that's your concern,
We live and learn.
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina, dance!
Dance!

CAROLING, CAROLING

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

Caroling, caroling now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
(Caroling, caroling through the town)
Christmas bells are ringing
(Caroling, caroling up and down)
Oh, Christmas bells are ringing
(Mark ye well the song we sing)
(Gladsome tidings now we bring)
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
(Caroling, caroling now we go)
It's Christmas
(Joyous voices sweet and clear)
(Sing the sad of heart to cheer)
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Oh, caroling, caroling through the town
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling up and down
Christmas are ringing
Mark thee well the song that we sing
Gladsome tidings now we bring
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
Oh, caroling (caroling, caroling)
We're caroling
(Caroling, caroling)
Through the town here we go
(Caroling, caroling)
And there's lots of our voices to cheer
(Caroling, caroling)
Sweet and clear
Bells are ringing so fine
It's a wonderful time of the year
Far and near
Oh caroling....

CALYPSO BLUES

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

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice,
Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice...
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.
In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got Calypso blues.
Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't!
She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad.
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
(Repeat chant to fade)
