Secret Love
02:48
|
|
||
Once I had a secret love
That lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love
Became impatient to be free
So I told a friendly star
The way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are
And why I am so in love with you
Now I shout it from the highest hills
Even told the golden daffodils
At last my heart's an open door
And my secret love's no secret anymore

Revival Day
03:20

Have you ever seen a church begin to rock?
Heard a sundown deacon preachin' to his flock?
Have you ever seen old Satan on the run?
Then follow me, see just how it's done, and have you;
Ever heard a sermon stir your soul?
Make you crave the River Jordan as you go?
Have you ever felt as though you'd like to shout?
Then come on and let them feelin's out, oh Lord!
Just hear those sisters groanin'
And hear those brothers moanin'
Rippin' and antonin'
On revival day
They talkin' to a spirit
Just like you see and hear it;
They're sinful and they fear it
On revival day
When that congregation starts to sing
Nothin' in this world don't mean a thing!
Oh, glory hallelujah!
Makes you feel so peculiar
The Devil cannot rule ya
On revival day!
When that congregation starts to sing
Nothin' in this world don't mean a thing!
Oh, glory hallelujah!
Makes you feel so peculiar
The Devil cannot rule ya
On revival day!
All of this congregation,
Gonna shout and spread salvation,
On, Revival Day

You Go To My Head
04:44
|
|

You go to my head
You linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning round
In my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought
To my plea, casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself
Get ahold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile
That makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance
In this crazy romance
You go to my head

Comes Love
02:46
|
|

Comes a rainstorm, put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snowstorm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can buy another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done
Don't try hiding, cause there isn't any use
You'll start sliding, when your heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons, you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes the measles, you can quarantine a room
Comes a mousy, you can chase it with a broom
Comes love, nothing can be done
That's all, brother, if you ever been in love
That's all, brother, you know what I'm speaking of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done
Nothing can be done, nothing can be done

I got a man that's always late
Any time we have a date
But I love him
Yes, I love him
I'm gonna walk up to his gate
See if we can't get this thing straight
'Cause I want him
And I'm gonna have him
Say, is you is or is you ain't my baby?
The way you're acting lately, it makes me doubt
You is still my baby, baby
But it seems like my flame in your heart done gone out
A man is a creature
That has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You'll find that he's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
Well, maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true?

Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love is playing the fool
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
But love fell out with me

I Love Paris
03:21
|
|
||
I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why, oh why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near

What A Wonderful World
05:16
|
|
||
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
They're only saying I love you
I see babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn so much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
I think to myself what a wonderful world
