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 .
I nearly sold all my clothes.
One man can give; another has to lend.
So I just give my best to my friends.
and so you should .
And when you think that your life isn’t right.
You know the day isn’t always like night.
You’ve had your peace now it’s time for you to fight.
Just give your best to your friends.

ONE
***************
I feel my heartbeat,
When you run your fingers through my hair.
(Yeah) I can feel you,
I can feel you by my side when you’re not there.
(Yeah) Just as my life fades to darkness
You you make me see the light.
Show me that my search is over
I pay the price, I pay the price.
Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.
The taste of love is sweet like honey on the vine,
Like the wind that feeds the fire, two souls become entwined.
Someday baby you and I should be one, one.
So I’m standing ’round this corner
Tall enough to touch the New York sky, oh yes
My love is so blind
I just cannot hear or see the world go by, oh yes
Someone can love so completely
One kiss should break the seal
Truth can be stranger than fiction
This love is real
This love is real.
Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.
Ah we are one, we are one.
I will follow
Count on me, I’ll never let you down, oh yes
My devotion
If love is like an ocean I will surely drown, oh yes
You’ll be my only possession
I’ll be a slave to you
We hold the power together
Just me and you
Just me and you.
Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it always, brighter than the eye can see, we hide the sun.
Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
(You know my life is in your hands,
And every breath you take is planned
And all this love goes on forever.)
Tell you someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it someday Baby, you and I should be one, one.
Do it someday Baby, you and I should be one, one…
REALLY AND SINCERELY
***************
My mind is open now, I’m on the other side.
Though you remember my name.
And if you go away I’ll get it off somehow.
I’ll leave it all in the air. No,no.
Turn me down. Turn me down
Turn me down. Oh, how I’ve tried.
Really and sincerely I’ve tried.
There is a song, I hear it all around.
But I don’t hear a sound.
If you were with me now,I’d let you know my mind.
Love is so easy to lose. No,no.
Turn me down. Turn me down.
Turn me down. Oh, how I’ve tried.
Really and sincerely.
Turn me down. Turn me down.
FANNY (BE TENDER WITH MY LOVE)
***************
First I rise, then I fall
Seems like you don’t want the love
Of this man at all
And it’s sure been a lonely time
Right up to the time I met you
So if you take a love like mine
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to hurt me
Fanny, be tender with my love,
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t desert me
So you say to yourself, boy,
You’re out of your brain;
Do you think I’m gonna stand here
All night in the rain?
And it’s the start of a love affair
The moment when I first met you
And if you want I’ll take you there;
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to break me
Fanny, be tender with my love,
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t forsake me.
With my love,
Our love will seal it together.
Oh, with our love,
You made a promise
You’ll always love me forever.
Be tender with my love;
You know how easy it is to break me
Fanny, be tender with my love,
‘Cause it’s all that I’ve got
And my love won’t forsake me.
SECRET LOVE
***************
When do I cry
This breakin’ heart
Just hurts me more
When we’re apart
And there are two of us
With our secret love
Sleep pretty baby while you wait so long
Livin’ with a love that’s not just make believe
Lonely nights, I see your candle glow
And in my mind, I trace
Together we can take away
The time and the space
Baby when you got a secret love
Every little touch is not enough
Every little moment we’re apart is pain to me
Maybe we can find some hideaway
Everybody knows but who can say
Secretly you know I’d follow
Anywhere to make you happy
Anyway you want me I’ll be standing by
I don’t wanna lose the one I hunger for
Naked eyes, they watch us everywhere
Nowhere to run, I cry
Everything to lose and no alibi
Baby when you got a secret love
Nothin’ you can do but rise above
Secretly you know I’d follow
Anywhere to make you happy
When do I cry
This breakin’ heart
Just hurts me more
When we’re apart
And there are two of us
With our secret love (together we can take away the time and the space)
NEW YORK MINING DISASTER 1941
***************
In the event of something happening to me,
there is something I would like you all to see.
It’s just a photograph of someone that I knew.
Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones?
Do you know what it’s like on the outside?
Don’t go talking too loud, you’ll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones.
I keep straining my ears to hear a sound.
Maybe someone is digging underground,
or have they given up and all gone home to bed,
thinking those who once existed must be dead.
