And have you travelled very far? Far as the eye can see #02) While shepherds watched their flock by night Them see a bright new shining star Them hear a choir sing The music seemed to come from afar #03) Funny how a word can mean everything That's why I want you to talk to me To hear you say my name, I'd do anything Only you can decide what my future will be #04) It should never, ever end If it's wrong to really love you I'll forever live in sin #05) You know I'm hooked for you, mama That's why you sling your weight around Ahhh, but as long as your lovin' beats your arguin', little girl I'll never put you down #06) Now you turn to the left when I say "gee" You turn to the right when I say "haw" #07) A little bit of lovin' makes everything right And I'm gonna see my baby tonight #08) Now don't you fret Don't you worry 'bout me 'cause I'll never forget How much you mean to me I'll love you, I'll love you my whole life through #09) When she kissed me I was born Then she said goodbye Then I knew right away I was born to cry Now I'm happy and the joke's on her #10) Who cares what picture you see When you're hugging with your baby last row in the balcony? #11) That's how this refrain goes So come on Join in everybody #12) Someone's dropped a bomb somewhere Contaminating atmosphere and blackening the sky #13) And when we take our stroll Tonight if it's cold We'll cuddle up close And baby, baby, baby, I'll kiss you, baby We'll be as one A-yeah, yeah, yeah, I love my baby We'll have some fun #14) Come-a come-a come-a come-a come come-a come-a Yaaaaaaay-yay-yay-yeah #15) Say that you love me Say that you need me Say that you want me Ain't gonna leave me #16) High on a hill of happiness With someone that you've been dreamin' of You build a wall all around with a lot of lovin' All around your mansion of love #17) Just a passing glance Just a brief romance And I might have gone on my way empty-hearted #18) From beyond the moat there arose such a clatter I jumped to the window to see what was the matter Like a bolt of lightning, it happened so quick And there in our midst stood old Saint Nick He began to dig down deep in his sack He came up with the traction for Igor's back #19) All the stars will tell the story Of our love and all its glory Let us take this night of magic #20) You listen while I talk to you now Tell you what we're gonna do now There's a new thing a-going around, yeah #21) Long before your arms can beg me stay For one more hour or one more day After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall #22) Come in here, woman, stop all that yakety-yak Don't make me nervous when I'm holding a baseball bat #23) My name should be "Trouble" My name should be "Woe" For trouble and heartache is all that I know #24) And now you're slipping through my fingers Like the ripples in a stream Oh oh, darling, you can say How love has seen its day But I'll forever go on feeling blue #25) ------------ Tie-Breakers ------------ If your time to you is worth saving Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone #T1) Told the judge he did it for a thrill Got 60 days, spent it fine Thanked the judge for being so kind #T2) ______________________________________________________________________ Amusement Section ----------------- This is a completely optional section.
