Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', I know they are jumpin' and the cotton is so high
Your Daddy's rich and your Mama is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry
No need to cryin'
One of these mornings
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You will spread your wings
Spread your wings
Then you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There is nothin' gonna harm you
With your Daddy and your Mama keep on standin' by
They're standin' by
But till that morning
Until that morning
There is nothin' gonna harm you
With your Daddy and your Mama keep on standin' by
With your Daddy and your Mama keep on standin' by
Summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime

If I expected love, when first we kissed, blame it on my youth
If only just for you, I did exist, blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
All the world to me
If you were on my mind, all night and day, blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat, and sleep and pray, blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit, when first I learned the truth
Don't blame it on my heart, blame it on my youth

(w/ Linda Ronstadt)
The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you (the mere idea of you)
The longing here for you (The longing here for you)
You'll never know how slow the moments go
Till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love

The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Your lovely smile
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Oh, the shadow of your smile

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river...over you...
Na na na ...

There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he
And then one day, a magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me: "The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"

Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you never did see
Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And put it in a box for me
Who will buy this wonderful feeling
I'm so high I swear I could fly
What a sky
A heavenly ceiling
Inviting you to come and buy
So I could see it at my leisure
Whenever things go wrong
And I would keep it as a treasure
To last my whole life long
Who will buy this wonderful feeling
I'm so high I swear I could fly
Me oh my I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do
To keep this sky so blue
There must be someone who will buy
Who will buy this wonderful feeling
I'm so high I swear I could fly
Me oh my I don't want to lose it
So what am I to do
To keep this sky so blue
There must be someone who will buy
Ohhh, yeah yeah yeah
Who will buy
Ooh, ooooh
 

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Rain or shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in and out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in and out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you, I'm with you rain or shine
 

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay;
Not for a year
But ever and a day.
Oh, the radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies,
And in time may go.
But, oh my dear,
Our love is here to stay;
Together we're going a long, long way.
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble,
They're only made of clay,
But our love is here to stay.
But, oh my dear,
Our love is here to stay;
Together we're going a long, long way.
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble,
They're only made of clay,
But our love is here
But our love is here
To stay.
 

In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number
Darling when I say to you
Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like the moon glowing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, in the still of the night
Do you love me
As I love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like the moon glowing dim
On the rim of the hill
In the chill, in the still of the night
Of the night
Of the night
 

When you just give love
And never get love
You'd better let love depart
I know it's so
And yet I know
I can't get you out of my heart
You may leave my happy home
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you
Love brings such misery and pain
I know I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well, it's too bad
And it's too sad
But I'm in love with you
First you love me
Then you snub me
But what can I do?
I'm still in love with you
I, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
Since I fell for you...
I, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
I get the blues most every night
Since I fell for you
 

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you, It's you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
Cause I'll be here in sunshine, or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
