A gent was riding by

Now the ground is white
go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
and sing this sleighing song
Just get a bobtailed bay
two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack! you'll take the lead

And now - the end is here
and so I face - the final curtain
My friend - I'll say it clear
I'll state my case - of which I'm certain
I've lived - a life that's full
I traveled each - and every highway
And more - much more than this
I - did - it - my - way
VERSE 2:
Regrets - I've had a few
but then again - too few to mention
I did - what I had to do
I saw it through - without exemption
I planned - each charted course
each careful step - along the byway
And more - much more than this
I - did - it - my - way
BRIDGE A:
Yes, there were times - I'm sure you knew
when I bit off - more than I could chew
But through it all - when there was doubt
I ate it up - and spit it out
I faced it all - and I stood tall
and - did - it - my - way
VERSE 3:
I’ve loved - I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill - My share of losing
And now - as tears subside
I find it all - so amusing
To think - I did all that
and may I say - not in a shy way
Oh no - oh, no not me
I - did - it - my - way
BRIDGE B:
For what is a man - what has he got?
If not himself - then he has naught
To say the things - he truly feels
and not the words - of one who kneels
The record shows - I took the blows
and - did - it - my - way

Yes - it - was - my - way

VERSES 1 & 2:
It's a little bit funny - this feelin inside
I'm not one of those who can - easily hide
I don't have much money, but - boy, if I did
I'd buy a big house where - we both could live
If I was a sculptor, heh - but then again, no
or a man - who makes potions in a - travelin show, oh I
Know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
my gift is my song, and - this one's for you
CHORUS:
And you can tell everybody - this is your song
it may be quite simple, but - now that it's done
I hope you don't mind - I hope you don't mind
that I put down into words
How wonderful life is - while you're in the world
[INTERLUDE]
VERSES 3 & 4:
I sat on the roof - an’ kicked off the moss
well, a few - of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind - while I wrote this song
it's for people like you that - keep it turned on
So excuse me forgettin - but these things I do
you see, I've forgotten - if they're green - or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is - what I really me-ean
yours are the sweetest eyes - I've ever seen
[REPEAT CHORUS]
OUTRO:
I hope you don't mind - I hope you don't mind
that I put down into words
\How wonderful life is - while you're in the world

VERSE 1:
I've been up and down
and around and round
and back again
Been so many places
I can't remember where or when
And my only boss
was the clock on the wall
and my only friend
Never really was a friend at all
CHORUS:
Well I've traded love for pennies
sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long
tunnel o’ time
I've turned inside out and around about
and back and then
Found myself - right back where I
started again
VERSE 2:
Once I had myself a million
now I've only got a dime
The diff'rence don't seem quite as bad today
With a nickel or a million
I was searchin all the time
For somethin that I’d never lost
or left behind
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[INTERLUDE]
VERSE 3:
And now I'm in my second circle
and I'm headin for the top
I learned a lotta things along the way
I'll be careful while I'm climbin
cuz it hurts a lot to drop
When you're down - nobody gives a
damn anyway
[REPEAT CHORUS]

TRANSLATION BY VICTORIA VOX:
There's water all around me
and under the bridge I sit
each hour the bridge goes up
and the boats live their dreams
And they swim, like fish
without boundaries, on this round world
on the sea there is the wind, the sun
and if I have troubles, they're drowned
I will jump aboard a boat
hoist up its sails and go
untie the knots that hold me back
and take the captain’s wheel
And I swim, like a fish
without boundaries, on this round world
on the sea there is the wind, the sun
and if I have troubles, they're drowned
(final chorus)
And I swim, like a fish
without boundaries, towards the horizon
on the sea there is the wind, the sun
and if I have troubles, they're drowned

VERSE:
Are you lonesome - tonight? Do you miss me - tonight?
Are you sorry - we drifted apart? ─
Does your memo-ry stray - to a bright - summer day
When I kissed you and - called you - sweetheart? ─
Do the chairs in your parlor - seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep - and picture me there?
Is your heart - filled with pain? Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear - are you lonesome - tonight? ─
SPOKEN VERSE: [SPOKEN with background strumming]
I wonder if - you’re lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world’s a stage and each
must play a part
Fate had me playing in love, with you as my sweetheart
Act One was when we met - I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came Act Two, you seemed to change and acted strange
And why I’ll never know
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I’d rather go on hearing your lies
Than to go on living without you
Now the stage is bare - and I’m standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won’t come back to me
Then they can bring the curtain down
OUTRO: [SUNG]
Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? ─

love a higher law

One life - with each other
sisters - brothers
One life but we're - not the same
we get to carry each other

VERSE 1:
So long ago I don't remember when
that's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
as I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun comin up at the funeral at dawn
with the long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste she always had a pretty face
I wondered - why she hung around this place
CHORUS:
Hey - ey-ey
Come on try a little - nothin is forever
there’s got to be somethin better than in the middle
But me an’ Cinderella - we put it all together
we can drive it ho-o-ome
with one headlight
VERSE 2:
She said it's cold - it feels like independence day
and I can't break away from this parade
But there's gotta be an opening somewhere here in front of me
through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge
sayin all is good and nothingness is dead
We run until she's out of breath, she ran until there's nothin left
she hit the end, it’s just her window ledge
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[INTERLUDE]
VERSE 3:
Well this place is old - it feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
this place is always such a mess
sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone - an’ I feel just like somebody else
man, I ain't changed - but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between these city walls of dyin dreams
I think her death, it must be killing me
OUTRO CHORUS:
Hey - ey - e - e-e-e-ey
Come on try a little - nothin is forever
there’s got to be somethin better than in the middle
But me an’ Cinderella - we put it all together
we can drive it home
with one headlight
