Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream
you wish to come true, woo woo
If only I could have a puppy
I'd call myself so very lucky
just to have some company
to share a cup of tea with me
I'd take my puppy everywhere
La, la, la-la I wouldn't care
and we would stay away from crowds
and signs that said no dogs allowed
oh we, I know he'd never bite me
whoa de lo.......
we, I know he'd never bite me
If only I could have a friend
to stick with me until the end
and walk along beside the sea
share a bit of moon with me
I'd take my friend most everywhere
La, la, la-la I wouldn't care
we would stay away from crowds
with signs that said no friends allowed
oh we, we'd be so happy to be
whoa de lo.............
we, we'd be so happy to be together
But dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream
you wish to come true
whoa whoa..........
Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream
you wish to come true
whoa whoa woo........
Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream
you wish to come true

When we got married back in 1944
We'd board that Silverliner below Baltimore
Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore
We'd tip the porter for a place of our own
Then send a postcard to your mommy and dad back back home
Mmm, it did something to you when you'd hear that “All aboard”
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
We had a daughter and you oughtta see her now
She has a boyfriend who looks just like my gal Sal
And when they're married they won't need us anymore
They'll board an aeroplane and fly away from Baltimore
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
Woo-ee, woo-oo-oo-ee, woo-ee
When we got married back in 1944
We'd board that Silverliner below Baltimore
Trip to Virginia on a sunny honeymoon
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore
La la la la-la la-la-la la la bye-bye
La la la la-la la-la-la la la don't cry
Mmm, it did something to you when you'd hear that “All aboard”
Nobody cares about the railroads anymore

Open your window and take a deep sigh
Think about letting the rest of the world go fly a kite
Taking it easy, is easy as pie
And holding your hand is such a natural high
I sent flowers, we spent hour
We spent hours, I sent flowers
We could be happy alone in a tent
Think of the money we'd save on rent
Living is easy, as easy as pie
And holding your hand is such a natural high

Lennon-McCartney
Born a poor young country boy, Mother Nature's Son
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.
Sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.
Oooo …
Find me in my field of grass, Mother Nature's Son
Swaying daisies, sing a lazy song beneath the sun.
Oooo …
Mmm …

Do you have to look away when you pass by the diner
Where the squad car stops for coffee ?
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here ?
And don't you feel kinda funny when a man in a suit says
'Man, do you know where I can get high ?'
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here ?
Take a walk down any street that you choose
Yeah and you'll wind up with the Fairfax Street
Mid morning paranoia blues.
Do you have to look away when you pass by the diner
Where the squad car stops for coffee ?
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here ?
Do you grab a cigarette when a man in an unmarked
Plymouth pulls you over just to say : 'Hi' ?
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here ?
And do you fumble in your wallet while you're looking for your license
And he tells you not to talk with your mouth full ?
Don't you wish that you were any place else
Don't you wish that you were any place else
Don't you wish that you were any place else but here ?

Well I'm down and I'm out and I've had it to here with the city life.
Gonna grab me a plane that'll take me back home to my folks.
Maybe real soon.
Just as soon as I get a few dollars ahead well you'll see,
Gonna show up in person instead of those letters I never write,
How does that sound
You joke that I got a deal that's gonna make me a million tomorrow
Can't...? to let it come through
If I just hang around for a little while
Just temporarily
City life
Oh city life
Oh city life
City life
City life

She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorway
Wondering how she ever got that way
She fights her tears away, then prays for no more sorrow
Will tomorrow be the same as yesterday
She tasted from the tree of life which lead to hunger
Now she wonders how she'll ever carry on
She thinks about the life she knew when she was younger
Heaven help her now those days are long since gone
She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping next to no one
And it's no fun when there's no one's there to see
She looks down at her feet, "My God, they sure look dirty
7:30, time to be or not to be"
She cries out, "Won't somebody listen to my story
Mournin' glories aren't supposed to happen today
She wakes up, she finds herself sleeping in a doorway
Wondering how she ever got that way

Maybe
Maybe you wouldn't believe it if only I'd change
Say I'm acting just like a kid
Well maybe I'm doing what I'm doing
'cause I done what I did when I was a kid
Maybe
Maybe
Maybe I'm foolin' myself more than anyone can
Maybe you've found another man
Well how can you enjoy his touch knowin' that I love you so much?
Baby
Baby
Whoa, baby
I could learn to love your mother
And your mother's sister
And if she visit other relatives, I swear I'd miss her
And every day before I go to work, I'd stop and kiss her
Maybe
Maybe
Oh, maybe
Maybe
Things would be better if only a letter would come
Happiness is easier for some
I promise I will try to please ya
Can't you see how much I need ya?
Baby
Baby if you wanna hurt me
Laugh at me, but don't desert me
Baby
Baby if you don't believe me
Laugh at me, but please don't leave me

Nilsson
When we go marchin' down Broadway again
Representing free women and men
Yes we'll all give a hand as they march by stand
For those wonderful heroes that finished Japan.
We'll remember Wake Island and Guam (Guam!)
Say a prayer for those boys that are gone
Boys and girls will be united and we'll all be invited
To go marchin' down Broadway again.

I'll say goodbye to all my sorrow
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
I'm so tired of getting nowhere
Seein' my prayers goin' unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
Well, here I am, Lord, knockin' at your back door, hmm
Ain't it wonderful to be where I've always wanted to be?
For the first time, I'll breathe free
Here in New York City
Say goodbye to all my sorrow
And by tomorrow I'll be on my way
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
So tired of getting nowhere
And seein' my prayers goin' unanswered
I guess the Lord must be in New York City
Well, here I am, Lord, knockin' at your back door, hmm
Ain't it wonderful to be where I've always wanted to be?
For the first time, I'll breathe free
Here in New York City

First day in August
Last rain was in May
When the rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day
The rainmaker said to the people
"Tell me what you are prepared to pay"
The rainmaker said to the people
"Well, I'll conjure up a rain today"
Ninety degrees 'neath the trees where it's shady
Hundred and ten in the hot sun
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies
See how they run
Called down the lightnin'
By a mystical name
Then the rainmaker called on the thunder
And suddenly it began to rain
Then the rainmaker passed his hat to the people
But the people all turned away
Then the rainmaker's eyes
And the Kansas skies
Both became a darker grey
First day in August
Last rain was in May
When the rainmaker came to Kansas
In the middle of a dusty day
The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon
And without a word he rode way
Then the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter
And they knew the rain had come to stay
Rain rain go away
Come again another day
Rain rain go away
Come again another day
Rain
Rain
Rain
Raaaiiinnn

Newman
I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh, I'd step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancin' bear.
Outrageous, alarming, courageous, charming
Oh who would think a boy and bear would be well accepted everywhere ?
Well it's just amazing how fair people can be.
Seen at the nicest places where well-fed faces all stop to stare
Making the grandest entrance is Simon Smith and his dancing bear.
They'll love us, won't they ? They feed us, don't they ?
Oh who would think a boy and bear could be well-accepted everywhere ?
Well it's just amazing how fair people can be.
Well who needs money when you're funny ?
The big attraction everywhere will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear
Yeah, Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear.

If only I could find a place
Where smiling strangers knew our faces
I would take you there
A place with constant melody
Where you and I could wander free
I would take you there
Seems like such a waste of time
Just trying to unwind the facts of life
If I could find a place, I'd take you
Where the pain don't cut you like a knife
I would take you there
If only there were time enough
Or word enough, or rhyme enough
I would take you there
If only I could find a place
Where smiling strangers knew our faces
I would take you there
A place with constant melody
Where you and I could wander free
I would take you there
