I've had my share of life's up and downs
But fate's been kind the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Oh I guess you could say it's all because of you

And if anyone should ever write my life story
Oh whatever reason there might be
You'll be there between each line of pain and glory
Cause you're the best thing that's ever happened to me
You're the best thing that ever happened to me

Lord there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it through
Cause for every moment I've spent hurting
There was a moment I've spent loving you

And if anyone should ever write my life story...

. . .


The warmth the grace that special face amor mio
A voice that sings the charm that clings amor mio
You see those eyes your heart sighs amor mio
You must agree that she's the perfect she

It's so easy to explain why the rainbows follow rain
But please tell me why
Why those rainbows still appear every time that she is near
Or nearly passin' by
I bless the day she came my way amor mio
The day divine that made my lover mine

(It's so easy to explain why the rainbows follow rain)
But please tell me why
Why those rainbows still appear every time that she is near
Nearly passin' by
I bless the day she came my way amor mio
The day divinethat made my lover mine
Amor mio amor mio amor mio

. . .


Get on with your livin' and I'll get on with mine
No one promise you sunshine all of the time
Get on with your livin' and I'll get on with mine
No one listens to losers or wipes those tears away

'Cause it's one step forward and two steps back most of the time
But no one said it was easy a life goes on without rain
So get on with your livin' and I'll get on with mine
Don't be feelin' you're over no one gets the blame
(Get on with your livin') and I'll get on with mine

Get on with your livin' and I'll get on with mine
No one promise you sunshine all of the time
Get on with your livin' and I'll get on with mine
No one listens to losers someone's got to pay

'Cause it's one step forward...
Get on with your livin' and I'll get on with mine
Get on with your livin' and I'll get on with mine

(feat. Jane Horrocks)

Dean Martin
Baby, won't you please come home
'cause your daddy's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name

Jane Horrocks
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day you'll hear me say
"Baby, won't you please come home"

Baby, won't you please come home
'cause your momma's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to speak your name

Dean Martin
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day you'll hear me say
"Oh baby, yeah baby, come on home"

Jane Horrocks (spoken)
Do you, do you really want more?

Jane Horrocks
Every hour in the day you'll hear me say
"Oh baby, yeah baby, come on home"

Jane Horrocks (spoken)
Mister Martin, I-I have a feeling we're not in Kansas any more

Dean Martin
Every hour in the day you'll hear me say
"Oh baby, yeah baby, come on home"

I'm confessin' that I love you, tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you, honest I do, need you every moment.
In your eyes I read such strange things, but your lips deny they're true,

Will your answer really change things, making me blue?
I'm afraid some day you'll leave me, saying "Can't we still be friends?",

If you go, you know you'll grieve me, all in life on you depends.
Am I guessing that you love me, dreaming dreams of you in vain?
I'm confessing that I love you, over again


. . .



I don't know why I love ya like I do
I don't know why I just do
Well I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why you, just do
You never seem to want my romancing
Ah, the only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love ya like I do
I don't know why I just do
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why you, just do
You never seem to want my romancing
Ah, the only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why I just do
I don't know why I love ya like I do
I don't know why I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why but you do
You never seem to want my romancing
Ah, the only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love ya like I do
I don't know why I just do

Someday I'll listen to my heart and know what's tearin' us apart
The echo tells me I can't stay one more minute or one more day

Someday I'll open up the door then lead me to some distant shore
I'll listen only to the sound of my barefoot upon the ground

I'll taste the wine in Kingston Harbor I'll sing a song in old San Juan
I'll kiss a girl in Barcelona and I'll be free to carry on

Someday I'll find out what to give and when I do I'll start to live
I'll cast my eyes up to the sky then catch a star and wave goodbye

I'll taste the wine in Kingston Harbor...
I'll taste the wine in Kingston Harbor...

. . .


I'm coming home I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is or isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me
If you still want me

Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years do you still want me
If I don't see a ribbon round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus forget about us put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

Bus driver please look for me
Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison and my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please

Oh tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree...

Now the whole damned bus is cheering and I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree

. . .


Gimme a little kiss, will you, huh?
Whadda ya gonna miss, will you, huh?
Gosh oh gee, why do you refuse?
I can't see what you gonna lose.
Gimme a little squeeze, will you, huh?


Why do you wanna make me blue?
I wouldn't say a word if I were asking for the world,
But what's a little kiss between a fella and his girl?
Gimme a little kiss, will you, huh?
And I'll give it right back to you.

. . .


You ask me to give up a hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love
That's up to her yes and the Lord above
You better move on

I know you can buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings
But I believe she's happy with me without these things
Still you beg me to set her free friend that'll never be
You better move on

I can't blame you of loving her
Can't you understand man she's my girl
And I Lord I'm never ever gonna let her go
Cause I Lord I you know that I love her so

I think you'd better go now I'm gettin' mighty mad
You ask me to give up the only love I ever gad
Maybe I would but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go
You better move on you better move on
You better move on movin' on you better move on
