In anything you do
Depend on persistence
And ride that dream on through
And there you’ll be
‘Cause everything’s gonna be all right
You wait and see

LUCK BE A LADY
***************
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you ever been a lady
To begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the other way you treated other guys you’ve been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady doesn’t leave her escort
It isn’t fair it isn’t nice
A lady doesn’t wonder all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice
So let’s keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby
I’m the fellow you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
A lady wouldn’t flirt with strangers
She have a heart
She have a soul
A lady wouldn’t make little snake eyes at me
When I bet my life on this roll
So let’s keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby
I’m the fellow you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Tonight, ha
A LINDA SONG
***************
He never wrote a song for Linda
He wrote as though he lived alone
He wrote of dreams that end of sad brave men
Inventing worlds he never know
But he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all alone
Loved him back to life
When his luck ran low
But he never wrote a Linda song
He nearly broke his heart at writing
Linda kept him from despair
Standing by his side, through the hungry days
But he hardly seemed to see her there
And he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all alone
The one real thing in his crazy world
And he never wrote a Linda song
When the bills piled up and couldn’t pay
He couldn’t dream no more
So he hitched a ride and he road away
And he left a note for Linda by the door
By the door
When times got rough he phone her
Once or twice she took the call
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
And Linda never looked back at all
He’ll never write a song for Linda
And she was right there all alone
Oh he knows,is no one understands
And he never wrote a Linda song
No he never wrote a Linda song
THE CHRISTMAS SONG (CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE)
***************
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey
And some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys
And goodies in his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
Really know how to fly.
And so I’m offering this simple song
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.
And so I’m offering this simple song

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you.
SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT
***************
Time, you found time enough to love
And I found love enough to hold you
So tonight I’ll stir the fire you feel inside
Until the flames of love enfold you
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door, come with me
Somewhere in the night we will know
Everything lovers can know
You’re my song, music too magic to end
I’ll play you over and over again
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night
You’ll sleep when the mornin’ comes
And I’ll lie and watch you sleepin’
And you’ll smile when you dream about the night
Like it’s a secret you’ve been keepin’
Layin’ beside you lost in the feeling
So glad you opened my door
You’re my song, music too magic to end
I’ll play you over and over again
Lovin’ so warm, movin’ so right
Closin’ our eyes and feelin’ alive
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night
We’ll just go on burnin’ bright
Somewhere in the night!!
(We’ll just go on burnin’ bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
(We’ll just go on burnin’ bright)
(Somewhere in the night)
LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING
***************
Love is a many splendored thing
It’s the April rose
That only grows in the early spring
Love is nature’s way of giving
A reason to be living
The golden crown that makes a man a king
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed
And the world stood still
Then your fingers touched
My silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love’s
A many splendored thing
Once on a high and windy hill
In the morning mist
Two lovers kissed
And the world stood still
Then your fingers touched
My silent heart and taught it how to sing
Yes, true love’s
A many splendored thing
