ISN'T THIS A LOVELY DAY 1935

The weather is fright’ningThe thunder and lightning

Seem to be having their wayBut as far as I'm concerned, it’s a lovely day

The turn in the weatherWill keep us togetherSo I can honestly say

That as far as I'm concerned it's a lovely dayAnd everything's O.K.

Isn't this a lovely dayTo be caught in the rain?

You were going on your wayNow you've got to remainJust as you were going Leaving me all at sea

The clouds broke They broke and

Oh, what a break for me

I can see the sun up high Tho' we're caught in the storm

I can see where you and ICould be cozy and warmLet the rain pitter patter

But it really doesn't matterIf the skies are gray

Long as I can be with you It's a lovely day

BLUE MOON 1935

Blue moonYou saw me standing aloneWithout a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue moonYou knew just what I was there forYou heard me saying a prayer forSomeone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me

The only one my arms will ever holdI heard somebody whisper

"Please adore me"And when I looked

The moon had turned to gold

Blue moon

Now I'm no longer aloneWithout a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

b. May 3 1919 Pete SeegerTURN! TURN! TURN! 1959

To everythingTurn! turn! turn!

There is a seasonTurn! turn! turn!

And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to dieA time to plant, a time to reap

A time to kill, a time to healA time to laugh, a time to weep

CHORUS

A time to build up, a time to break downA time to dance, a time to mourn

A time to cast away stonesA time to gather stones together

CHORUS

A time to gain, a time to lose

A time to rend, a time to sewA time to love, a time to hate

A time of peace, I swear it’s not too late

CHORUS

* * * * *

Lyrics by Toshi Seeger

A time to dress, a time to eatA time to sit and rest your feetA time to teach, a time to learnA time for all to take their turn

A time for dirt, a time for soapA time for tears, a time for hopeA time for fall, a time for springA time to hear the robin sing

CHORUS

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW 1965

What the world needs now Is love, sweet loveIt's the only thing

That there's just too little ofWhat the world needs now

Is love, sweet loveNo not just for some

But for everyone

Lord, we don't need another mountainThere are mountains

and hillsides enough to climbThere are oceans

and rivers enough to crossEnough to last 'til the end of time




But for everyone

Lord, we don't need another meadowThere are cornfields

and wheatfields enough to growThere are sunbeams

and moonbeams enough to shineOh listen, Lord, if you want to know




Oh, but just forEvery, every, everyone

* * * * *

b. May 15 1918 Eddy ArnoldMAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY 1963

Make the world go awayAnd get it off my shoulders

Say the things you used to sayAnd make the world go away

Do you remember when you loved meBefore the world took me astray?

If you do, then forgive meAnd make the world go away



I'm sorry if I hurt youI'll make it up day by day

Just say you love me like you used toAnd make the world go away




* * * * *

b. May 18 1902 Meredith WillsonTILL THERE WAS YOU 1957

There were bells on the hillBut I never heard them ringingNo, I never heard them at all

Till there was you

There were birds in the skyBut I never saw them winging

No, I never saw them at allTill there was you

And there was music

And there were wonderful rosesThey tell me

In sweet fragrant meadows of dawnAnd dew

There was love all aroundBut I never heard it singingNo, I never heard it at all

Till there was you

b. May 18 1912 Perry Comob. May 23 1928 Rosemary Clooney

YOU'RE JUST IN LOVE 1950

I hear singing and there’s no one thereI smell blossoms and the trees are bare

All day long I seem to walk on airI wonder why? I wonder why?

I keep tossing in my sleep at nightAnd what’s more I’ve lost my appetiteStars that used to twinkle in the skies

Are twinkling in my eyesI wonder why?

You don’t need analyzin’‘Cause it ain’t so surprisin’

That you feel very strange but niceYour heart goes pitter-patterI know just what’s the matter

Because I’ve been there once or twice

Put your head on my shoulderYou need someone who’s olderA rub-down with a velvet glove

There is nothing you can takeTo relieve that pleasant ache

You’re not sick, you’re just in love

* * * * *

I hear singing You don’t need analyzin’

And there’s no one there‘Cause it ain’t so surprisin’

I smell blossomsThat you feel very strange but nice

and the trees are bare

All day long I seem to Your heart goes pitter-patter

Walk on airI know just what’s the matter

I wonder why?Because I’ve been there once or twice

I wonder why?

I keep tossing in my Put your head on my shoulder

Sleep at nightYou need someone who’s older

And what’s more A rub-down with a velvet glove

I’ve lost my appetite

Stars that used to twinkle There is nothing you can take

In the skiesTo relieve that pleasant ache

Are twinkling in my eyesYou’re not sick, you’re just in love

I wonder why?

BOTH: You're not sick, you're just in love!

b. May 24 1941 Bob DylanTOMORROW IS A LONG TIME 1963

If today was not a crooked highwayIf tonight was not a crooked trail

If tomorrow wasn't such a long timeThen lonesome would mean nothing to you at all

Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Yes, only if she was lyin' by meThen I'd lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the watersI can't speak the sounds that show no pain

I can't hear the echo of my footstepsOr remember the sound of my own name

Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'

Yes and only if she was lyin' by meThen I'd lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in the silver, singin' riverThere's beauty in the sunrise in the sky

But none of these and nothing else can touch the beautyThat I remember in my true love's eyes

Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'I could hear her heart a softly poundin'

Yes and only if she was lyin' by meThen I'd lie in my bed once again

* * * * *

b. May 24 1941 Bob DylanMAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE 1997

When the rain is blowing in your faceAnd the whole world is on your case

I could offer you a warm embraceTo make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

Oh, I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

But I will never do you wrongI've known it

from the moment that we metNo doubt in my mind

where you belong

I would go hungry, I'd go black and blue

And I'd go crawling down the avenueNo, there's nothing that I wouldn't do

To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea

And on the highway of regretThe winds of change

are blowing wild and freeYou ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happymake your dreams come true

There's nothing that I wouldn't doGo to the ends of this Earth for you

To make you feel my loveTo make you feel my love

* * * * *

b. May 31 1938 Peter Yarrowb. May 24 1941 Bob Dylan:

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND 1963

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?How many seas

must a white dove sailBefore she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they're forever banned?

The answer my friendIs blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea?Yes, how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free?How many times

can a man turn his headPretending he just doesn't see?



Yes, how many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?Yes, how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

TOP HIT this month 1961:Del Shannon: RUNAWAY

As I walk along I wonder What went wrong with our love

A love that was so strongAnd as I still walk on I think of

The things we've done togetherWhile our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rainTears are fallin' and I feel the pain

Wishing you were here by meTo end this misery

And I wonderI wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder

Why?Why, why, why, why, why she ran away

And I wonderWhere she will stay-ay

My little runawayRun, run, run, run, runaway

b. May 3 1903 Bing CrosbyCOUNT YOUR BLESSINGS 1954

When I'm worried and I can't sleepI count my blessings

instead of sheepAnd I fall asleep

counting my blessings

When my bankroll is getting smallI think of when I had none at all

And I fall asleep counting my blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads

And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds

If you're worried and you can't sleepJust count your blessings

instead of sheepAnd you'll fall asleep

counting your blessings

* * * * *

b. May 7 1833 Johannes BrahmsWIEGENLIED / CRADLE SONG 1868

Guten Abend, gut' Nachtmit Rosen bedacht

mit Näglein bestecktschlupf unter die Deck'

Morgen früh, wenn Gott willwirst du wieder geweckt

Lullaby and goodnightWith roses bedight

With lilies o'er spread Is baby's wee bed

Lay thee down now and restMay thy slumber be blessedLay thee down now and restMay thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and goodnightThy mother's delightBright angels beside

My darling abide

They will guard thee at restThou shalt wake on my breast

They will guard thee at restThou shalt wake on my breast
