SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME
Lyrics by Ira Gershwin Music by George Gershwin

THERE'S A SOMEBODY I'M LONGING TO SEE I HOPE THAT HE TURNS OUT TO BE SOMEONE WHO'LL WATCH OVER ME I'M LITTLE
LAMB-WHO'S LOST IN THE WOOD I KNOW I COULD ALWAYS BE GOOD TO ONE WHO'LL WATCH OVER ME ALTHO' HE MAY NOT BE THE MAN
SOME GIRLS THINK OF AS HANDSOME TO MY HEART HE CARRIES THE KEY WON'T YOU TELL HIM PLEASE
TO PUT ON SOME SPEED
FOLLOW MY LEAD
OH HOW I NEED
SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME
WON'T YOU TELL HIM PLEASE TO PUT ON SOME SPEED
FOLLOW MY LEAD
OH HOW I NEED
SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME

I BELIEVE IN LOVE
Lyrics and Music by Danny B. Besquet and Ronald Jackson

I BELIEVE IN LOVE
I BELIEVE IT EVERY TIME I SEE YOU WALKING BY MY SIDE
IT'S SOMETHING I CAN'T HIDE I BELIEVE IN LOVE
I BELIEVE IT EVERY TIME I HEAR YOUR LAUGHTER FLOW WITH MINE OH I CAN SEE IT SHINE
LIKE A SUPER NOVA STAR
LIKE A GLOW WORM IN A JAR THE LIGHT IS JUST THE SAME AND LOVE IS NOT A GAME SO BELIEVE IN ME MY FRIEND AND THIS JOY
WILL NEVER END IN A HUNDRED YEARS OR TWO I'LL STILL BE LOVING YOU
I BELIEVE IN GHOSTS
I BELIEVE IN FRANKENSTEIN THE MOST AND EVEN HALLOWEEN
THE MOON IS CHEESY GREEN
LIKE A SUPER NOVA STAR
LIKE A GLOW WORM IN A JAR THE LIGHT IS JUST THE SAME AND LOVE IS NOT A GAME
SO BELIEVE IN ME MY FRIEND AND THIS JOY WILL NEVER END IN A HUNDRED YEARS OR TWO I'LL STILL BE LOVING YOU
I BELIEVE IN LOVE
I BELIEVE IT EVERY TIME I SEE YOU I BELIEVE IN LOVE
I BELIEVE IT EVERY TIME I SEE YOU I BELIEVE IT EVERY TIME I SEE YOU

(out here) ON MY OWN Lyrics by Lesley Gore Music by Michael Gore

SOMETIMES I WONDER WHERE I'VE BEEN WHO I AM, DO I FIT IN
MAKE BELIEVIN' IS HARD ALONE,
OUT HERE ON MY OWN
WE'RE ALWAYS PROVIN' WHO WE ARE ALWAYS REACHIN' FOR THAT RISIN' STAR TO GUIDE ME FAR AND SHINE ME HOME, OUT HERE ON
MY OWN.
WHEN I'M DOWN AND FEELIN' BLUE
I CLOSE MY EYES SO I CAN BE WITH YOU OH BABY, BE STRONG FOR ME,
BABY, BELONG TO ME
HELP ME THROUGH, HELP ME NEED YOU.
UNTIL THE MORNING SUN APPEARS MAKING LIGHT OF ALL MY FEARS,
I DRY THE TEARS I'VE NEVER SHOWN OUT HERE ON MY OWN.,
WHEN I'M DOWN AND FEELIN' BLUE
I CLOSE MY EYES SO I CAN BE WITH YOU OH BABY, BE STRONG FOR ME,
BABY, BELONG TO ME
HELP ME THROUGH, HELP ME NEED YOU.
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHERE I'VE BEEN, WHO I AM, DO I FIT IN.
I MAY NOT WIN, BUT I CAN'T BE THROWN, OUT HERE ON MY OWN, ON MY OWN.

GO AWAY LITTLE BOY Lyrics and Music by J. Goffin and Carole King

GO AWAY LITTLE BOY GO AWAY LITTLE BOY
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALONE WITH YOU
I KNOW THAT YOUR LIPS ARE SWEET
BUT OUR LIPS MUST NEVER MEET
WE'RE NOT GROWN UP ENOUGH YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE
OH GO AWAY LITTLE BOY GO AWAY LITTLE BOY IT'S HURTING ME MORE
EACH MINUTE THAT WE DELAY WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME LIKE THIS
YOU'RE MUCH TOO HARD TO RESIST
SO GO AWAY LITTLE BOY BEFORE I BEG YOU TO STAY
GO AWAY LITTLE BOY GO AWAY LITTLE BOY IT'S HURTING ME MORE EACH MINUTE WE DELAY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME LIKE THIS
YOU'RE MUCH TOO HARD TO RESIST
SO GO AWAY LITTLE BOY
LET'S CALL IT A DAY LITTLE BOY
PLEASE GO AWAY LITTLE BOY
BEFORE I BEG YOU TO STAY
GO AWAY LITTLE BOY GO AWAY LITTLE BOY GO AWAY LITTLE BOY GO AWAY LITTLE BOY

(It's hard bein' little in a) GROWN UP WORLD Lyrics and Music by Don Costa, Terry Ray Costa and Nikko Costa

OH IT'S HARD BEIN' LITTLE IN A GROWN UP WORLD
I BET SHIRLEY TEMPLE HATED EVERY CURL
THEY THINK OUR LIFE IS EASY
LIKE A SONG THAT'S LIGHT AND BREEZY
IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU QUEEZY WHEN YOU KNOW IT'S TOUGH
BEIN' LITTLE IN THIS MIXED UP WORLD
LIFE IS A RIDDLE THAT JUST SPINS AND TWIRLS
AND WE'RE INTIMIDATED
WHEN WE'VE MERELY IMITATED SOPHISTICATED PEOPLE THAT WE LOVE
IF ONLY THEY'D REALIZE THAT WE'RE PEOPLE TOO
WE'RE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE PROBLEMS TOO
BUT THEY NEVER LOOK AT THINGS FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW SO WHAT CAN A LITTLE KID DO I WISH THEY WOULD LET ME LIVE MY
LIFE MY WAY
THEN THEY'D SEE THAT I JUST MIGHT TURN OUT OK
BUT LOOK I'M NOT COMPLAININ' THAT'S JUST KIDS' STUFF
I'M ONLY EXPLAININ'
THAT IT'S REAL TOUGH
WHEN YOU'RE CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE THERE IS NO AQUITTAL
AS LONG AS YOU'RE LITTLE IN A GROWN UP WORLD

THEME FROM ICE CASTLES (Through the eyes of love) Lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager Music by Marvin Hamlisch

PLEASE DON'T LET THIS FEELING END
IT'S EV'RYTHING I AM EV'RYTHING I WANT TO BE
I CAN SEE WHAT'S MINE NOW
FINDING OUT WHAT'S TRUE
SINCE I FOUND YOU
LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE
AND NOW I CAN TAKE THE TIME I CAN SEE MY LIFE
AS IT COMES UP SHINING NOW REACHING OUT TO TOUCH YOU I CAN FEEL SO MUCH
SINCE I FOUND YOU
LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE AND NOW I DO BELIEVE
THAT EVEN IN THE STORM WE'LL FIND SOME LIGHT KNOWING YOU'RE BESIDE ME I'M ALLRIGHT
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS FEELING END IT MIGHT NOT COME AGAIN
AND I WANT TO REMEMBER
HOW IT FEELS TO KNOW YOU
HOW I FEEL SO MUCH
SINCE I FOUND YOU
LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS FEELING END
IT'S EV'RYTHING I AM EV'RYTHING I WANT TO BE
I CAN SEE WHAT'S MINE NOW
FINDING OUT WHAT'S TRUE
SINCE I FOUND YOU
LOOKING THROUGH THE EYES OF LOVE

FULL OF ALL THOSE LONELY FEELINGS SURROUNDED BY WALLS AND CEILINGS
THEN YOU APPEAR
AND MY SKIES ARE CLEAR
AND I START TO CHEER WHAT I SEE

BUBBLE FULL OF RAINBOWS Lyrics by Marva Jan Marrow Music by Tony Renis

THINGS THAT TREMBLE TINGLE LIKE A BUBBLE FULL OF RAINBOWS THEN... CRACK SIZZLE SING AND WHISPER WHEN THE SHADOWS
LACE THE MOONLIGHT WITH BLACK THINGS THAT CROWD IN CLIMB IN CREEP IN VINES IN WINDOWS WIND IN WITH WAVING WHISPY
WILLOW WINGS AND BREATHE OF WINES IN SUMMERTIME... DREAMS
THINGS THAT GOW AND GLISTEN, EYES OF CHILDREN WHEN THEY LISTEN THEN... BURST THINGS THAT TOUCH THE WISTFUL WISH OF
WATCHkNG SOMEONE ELSE SUCCEED FIRST DAYS THAT DINGLE DANGLE WITH A MILLION PARTS UNTANGLE TO
SATIN STARS THAT SPANGLE AND THOSE SUDDEN BELLS THAT CLANGLE OUT... DREAMS
I'M TALKIN' OF DAYDREAMS CHOCOLATES AND ICE CREAM
THEN I TREMBLE TINGLE LIKE A BUBBLE FULL OF RAINBOWS AND POP
SCATTER SPLITTER SPLATTER AND I'M SAILING ON A CLOUD THAT WON'T STOP GALLOPING AND GLIDING ON A PRISM WE COME RIDING
AND
SOMETIMES HALF-COLLIDING WITH THE DRAGON WHO IS FLYING BELOW
I'M TALKING OF DYDREAMS CHOCOLATES AND ICE CREAM
THEN I TREMBLE TINGLE LIKE A BUBBLE FULL OF RAINBOWS AND POP
SCATTER SPLITTER SPLATTER AND I'M SAILING ON A CLOUD THAT WON'T STOP GALLOPING AND GLINDING ON A PRISM WE COME
RIDING AND SOMETIMES HALF-COLLIDING WITH THE DRAGON WHO IS FLYING AND I CAN TREMBLE TINGLE LIKE A BUBBLE FULL OF
RAIMBOW LIGHT SOMETHING CAME TO SHAKE ME TO TAKE ME TO AWAKE ME TONIGHT

CHAINED TO THE BLUES Lyrics and Music by Terry Ray Costa

THE SUN TURNED FROM MY WINDOW AND LET THE BLUES COME IN
NOW I'VE GOT PAIN AND SORROW TO TALK TO AGAIN ABOUT MY
CASE OF THE MISSIN'YOU'S,
THE USED TO BE'S AND
THE LONLIES, TOO,
KEEPIN' MY HEART CHAINED TO THE BLUES
OLD YESTERDAY'S DROPPED BY WITH THE WISHES YOU WERE HERE'S SURE MADE GOOD TIMES FLY 'TIL THEY DISAPPEARED
LEAVIN' ME WITH THE MISERIES, THE LOST WITHOUT YOU'S AND THE WHY DID YOU LEAVES,
KEEPIN' MY HEART CHAINED TO THE BLUES
OH, MY, THE WAY HE SAID GOODBYE, JUST LAUGHIN' AT ME CRYIN'
IN MY SORROW,
OH, ME, THESE PAINFUL MEMORIES, TORTURE ME LIKE THERE'S
NO TOMORROW, WHEN
MY HEART WILL BE I REAKIN'
RIGHT ALONG WITH THE DAWN
EACH PART OF ME ACHIN
JUST KNOWIN' HE'S GONE AND
LEFT ME WITH THE STARK RAVIN' MAD'S THE I SHOULD'VE DONE'S AND
THE WISH THAT I HAD'S
KEEPIN' MY HEART CHAINED TO THE BLUES KEEPIN' MY HEART CHAINED TO THE BLUES KEEPIN' MY HEART CHAINED TO THE BLUES

MAYBE Lyrics by Martin Charnin Music by Charles STrouse

MAYBE FARAWAY
OR MAYBE REAL NEARBY
HE MAYBE POURING HER COFFEE
SHE MAYBE STRAIGHTENING HIS TIE
MAYBE IN A HOUSE
ALL HIDDEN BY A HILL
SHE'S SITTIN' PLAYING PIANAH
HE'S SITTING PAYING A BILL
BETCHA THEY'RE YOUNG
BETCHA THEY'RE SMART
BET THEY COLLECT THINGS LIKE ASH TRAYS AND ART BETCHA THEY'RE GOOD WHY SHOULDN'T THEY BE THEIR ONE MISTAKE WAS
GIVING UP ME
SO, MAYBE NOW IT'S TIME
AND MAYBE WHEN I WAKE
THEY'LL BE THERE CALLING ME BABY
MAYBE
BETCHA HE READS
BETCHA SHE SEWS
MAYBE SHE'S MADE ME A CLOSET OF CLOTHES MAYBE THEY'RE STRICT, AS STRAIGHT AS A LINE DON'T REALLY CARE AS LONG AS
THEY'RE MINE SO, MAYBE NOW THIS PRAYER'S
THE LAST ONE OF IT'S KIND
WON'T YOU PLEASE COME AND GET YOUR BABY MAYBE

SO GLAD I HAVE YOU Lyrics and Music by Terry Ray Costa and Nikka Costa

LATE AT NIGHT WHEN A BAD DREAM
STEALS MY SLEEP AND SHADOWS ON THE WALL GIVE ME THE CREEPS
I GET SO SCARED I SHAKE INSIDE
SO I WIGGLE UNDER THE COVERS AND HIDE I'M SAFE IN THERE WITH MY TEDDY BEAR
SO GLAD I HAVE YOU TO CUDDLE UP TO SO GLAD I HAVE YOU SO GLAD I HAVE YOU YOU HELP ME THRU
WHEN DREAMS MAKE ME BLUE
DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU
YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE
WHEN I NEED A FRIEND TO CARE YOU TAKE THE CHILL FROM THE AIR AND RAIMBOWS APPEAR EV'RYWHERE WOH
WHEN IT'S DARK AND MY MIND PLAYS TRICKS ON ME AND I FEEL A WORLD OF TEARS
DRIP DOWN MY CHEEKS
IT'S A LONELY PLACE WHEN NO ONE'S AWAKE BUT LIFE AIN'T ALWAYS A PIECE OF CAKE
AND YOU EASE THE PAIN
AND STOP THE RAIN
SO GLAD I HAVE YOU TO CUDDLE UP TO SO GLAD I HAVE YOU SO GLAD I HAVE YOU YOU HELP ME THRU
WHEN DREAMS MAKE ME BLUE
DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU
GOOD FRIENDS ARE RARE
AND YOU KEEP THE SECRETS WE SHARE
THERE'S NO ONE OUT THERE
WHO COULD TAKE THE PLACE OF MY TEDDY BEAR WOH
YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE
WHEN I NEED A FRIEND TO CARE YOU TAKE THE CHILL FROM THE AIR AND RAINBOWS APPEAR EV'RYWHERE WOH
SO GLAD I HAVE YOU TO CUDDLE UP TO SO GLAD I HAVE YOU SO GLAD I HAVE YOU YOU HELP ME THRU
WHEN DREAMS MAKE ME BLUE
DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU
YOU'RE ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEED A FRIEND TO CARE YOU TAKE THE CHILL FROM THE AIR
AND RAINBOWS APPEAR EV'RYWHERE
WOH
