That Is All (Reprise)
. . .


Harrison

That is all I want to say
Our love could save the day
That is all I'm waiting for
To try to love you more.

And that is all I want to do
To get right next to you
That is all I'm living for
Your love and nothing more
And that is all.

Times I find it hard to say
With useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before.

That is all I want from you
A smile when I feel blue
That is all I'm waiting for
Your love and nothing more
And that is all.

Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before.

But that is all I want to do
To give my love to you
That is all I'm living for
Please let me love you more
And that is all.

Carroll-Payne / McCoy

Just one look that's all it took, yeah
Just one look that's all it took, yeah

Just one look
And I felt so I, I, I'm in love with you, oh, oh
I found out how good it feels to have your love, oh oh
Say you will, will be mine forever and always, oh oh
Just one look and I knew that you were my only one, oh, oh

I thought I was dreamin' but I was wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, but I'm gonna keep on schemin'

'Till I can make you, make you my own

So you see I really care without you I'm nothing, oh, oh
Just one look and I know I'll get you some day, oh, oh

I thought I was dreamin' but I was wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, but I'm gonna keep on schemin'
'Till I can make you, make you my own

Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah
Just one look, that's all it took, yeah

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the stars fall from the sky-y-y-y-y
Yours (yours) until the rivers all run dry
In other words, until I di-i-ie

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the sun no longer shi-i-i-i-ines
Yours (yours) until the poets run out of rhyme
In other words, until the end of time

I'm gonna stay right here by your side
Do my best to keep you satisfied
Nothin' in the world can drive me away
Every day you'll hear me say

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until two and two is three-ee-ee-ee-ee
Yours (yours) until the mountain crumbles to the sea
In other words, until eternity

Baby, I'm yours
Till the stars fall from the sky
Baby, I'm yours
Till the rivers all run dry
Baby, I'm yours
FADE
Till the poets run out of rhyme

Kortchmar-Nilsson

Taking from the rich of spirit
Giving to the poor of heart
Guilty of a human weakness
He was known by all
As a moonshine bandit
He was a moonshine bandit
He was not like them at all.
Not just another common criminal
Oh no, he was not like them
They were different men
They would not dare
But he was there to do it for them
He was a moonshine bandit
A moonshine bandit
He took from the rich of spirit
And gave to the poor of heart
Guilty of a human passion
Which tears his heart apart
Ah, she was not like them at all
She would cry each time the night would fall
Oh boy, if she only knew
What I'm going to tell you
She'd never have to suffer from a broken heart
Moonshine bandit
A moonshine bandit
She would pine away each hour
In her fantasy she would be
Set free from her tower
Each night she would wait in vain
For a savior without a name
Then one night it happened
He came to her
He was a moonshine bandit
A moonshine your light on her
Take her away, moonshine bandit
Now two lovers appear every
Year above the milky way
Do you believe in magic?
Can you see it my way?
Two lovers appear every year
Above the milky way
Can you dig it?
Do you believe in magic?

. . .


Beckley

We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me.

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, I need you.

And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me.

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you.

I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you.

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you.

I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you, I need you, I need you.

Miller-Sheppard

You're a thousand miles away-ay
Bu-u-t I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my dar-ar-ar-arling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon

On my knees every day-ay
All I do is pray, baby, just for you
Hope you a-a-a-always want me too
Daddy's coming home soon

It may be on a Sunday morning
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
But no matter what the day is
I'm going to make it my business to get home soon

You're (a thousand miles away)
Bu-u-ut I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my dar-ar-ar-arling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming ho-ome so-oo-oo-oo-oon

In America, you get food to eat
You won't have to run through the jungle and scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American

Ain't no lions or tigers
Ain't no mama snake
Just a sweet watermelon and buckwheat cake

Everybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little one
Sail away with me

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

In America, every man is free
Take care of his home and his family
You'll be happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American

Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

You'll get food to eat
Sail away, sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Won't have to scuff up your feet anymore
Ain't no jungle on this far and distant shore

She Sits Down On Me

[No lyrics]

Nilsson-Rebenneck

Daylight has caught me,
Can't go nowhere
If it wasn't for the daytime
There'd be nothing to fear
If it wasn't for the daylight
They say there wouldn't be no light at all
But if it wasn't for the night life,
I wouldn't be here at all
I wouldn't be here at all
Daylight has caught me
Can't run away
Daylight has caught me
Looks like another day
I'm waitin' for the moonshine,
Come moon shine on me
Looks like daylight has caught me,
Daylight has caught me
Well, i'm a friend of daylight
Daylight's no friends with me
Moonlight's an old friend of mine
Keeps me drinking
Keeps me up all the time
Keeps me down by the river side
Countin' stars, lookin' for some moonshine
Moonshine is all I need
Daylight comes sneakin' up on me
Moonlight is all I want
Daylight is all I can't stand
Daylight has caught me once again
Again, again, again, again
Looks like that daylight's
Caught up with me as fast as it could
Lqqks like that daylight
Won't let another day go by
Well if I had some darkness 'round me
I could really see
But as it happens,
Daylight has caught up on me
So I say
Damn damn the daylight
It's gone and caught me for another day
Damn damn the daylight
It does it every day
It does it anyway
It wants to
No matter how I fight it
Why, I could put out the candles
At night time
But god's gonna light 'em
In the morning
Daylight's found me once again
Daylight is chasin' me all over the world
I'd like to jump on some airplane
Just to get away from it all
Daylight is after me,
I don't like to see it smile
That's why I pray for night time
And darkness
Just for a while
If I could sleep in the mornin'
And I could play at night
If I could have the evening
I wouldn't need the daylight
Damn, damn the daylight
It's gone and caught me for
Another day
Damn damn the daylight
It does it every day
Let it rain on monday
I'd be happy as a king
But here comes the sun-king
Every morning

Mauge

It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery

Zombies from all parts of the Island
Some of them was a great Calypsonians
Although the season was Carnival
We get together in bacchanal
And they singing

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

One female Zombie wouldn't behave
See how she jumping out of the grave
In one hand a quarter rum
In the other hand she knocking Congo drum
Believe singer start to make his rhyme
The Zombies are racking their bones in thyme
One bystander had this to say
'T was a pleasure to see the Zombies break away

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

I goin' talk to Miss Brigit Bardot
And tell her miss Bardot take it slow
All the men think they're Casanova
When they see that she's bare foot all over
Even old men out into beaker
Find their hearts getting weaker and weaker
So I goin' to ask her for your sake and mine
At least to wear her ear rings part at the time

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

A lot of World leaders talkin' 'bout war
And I'm afraid they're going too far
So it's up to us you and me
To put an end to Catastrophe
We must appeal to their goodness of heart
And ask them to breech in and please do their part
Cause if this Atomic war begin
They won't even have a part to breech in

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
