Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream sweetheart
Sh-boom, sh-boom, sh-boom, sh-boom, sh-boom

Oh, life could be a dream
If only all my precious plans would come true
If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you
Life could be a dream sweetheart
Sh-boom, sh-boom, sh-boom, sh-boom, sh-boom

Now every time I look at you
Something is on my mind
If you do what I want you to
Baby, we'd be so fine

Oh, life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream sweetheart

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him two lips like roses and clover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

Every night I hope and pray a dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you with a love, a love so true?
And a hand that I can hold, to feel you near as I grow old?
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Someday, I don't know how, I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how, she'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do, till all my lover's dreams come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
How long must I dream

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams night time too
I love you and I'm dreaming of you but that won't do
Dream baby make me stop my dreamin', you can make my dreams come true

Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams the whole day through
Dream baby got me dreamin' sweet dreams night time too
I love you and I'm dreaming of you but that won't do
Dream baby make me stop my dreamin', you can make my dreams come true

'Mr Sandman' - one of my all time favourites - has anyone heard the Les Paul and Mary Ford version which I think was even before my time!

[Not I...]

If you needed the dream
To keep you smilin'
I'd tell the sandman you were blue
And I'd ask him
To keep that sand a-pilin'
Until your dreams had all come true
And I would give
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
Your tasty kiss thrills me so
Sweets for my sweet,
Sugar for my honey
I'll never ever let you go

[Yes, I've heard it ]


Sugar,
Oh, Honey Honey.
You are my candy girl,
and you got me wanting you.
Honey,
Oh, Sugar, Sugar.
You are my candy girl
and you got me wanting you.

I just can't believe the loveliness of loving you.
(I just can't believe it's true).
I just can't believe the wonder of this feeling too.
(I just can't believe it's true).

Sugar,
Oh, Honey Honey.
You are my candy girl,
and you got me wanting you.
Honey,
Oh, Sugar, Sugar.
You are my candy girl
and you got me wanting you.

When I kissed you girl,
I knew how sweet a kiss could be.
(I know how sweet a kiss can be)
Like the summer sunshine
pour your sweetness over me.
(Pour your sweetness over me).

I was going to post Brown Sugar, but I couldn't believe how offensive the words were.

Jab

Sweet, sweet love
It'll last if you let it.
Na na na na, na na na na na.

Welcome to the game, fiery opaleye

When I was a young man and never been kissed
I got to thinking it over what I had missed.
I got me a girl, I kissed her and then
Oh Lord, I kissed her again.

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

I asked her to marry and be my sweet wife,
And we would be so happy the rest of our lives.
I begged and I pleaded like a natural man,
And then, Oh Lord, she gave me her hand.

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

I worked mighty hard and so did my wife,
Workin' hand in hand to make a good life.
With corn in the field and wheat in the bins,
I was, Oh Lord, the father of twins.

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Our children they numbered just about four,
They all had sweethearts knockin' at the door.
They all got married and they didn't hesitate;
I was, Oh Lord, the grandmother of eight.

Oh, kisses sweeter than wine,
Oh, kisses sweeter than wine

Now that we're old, and ready to go,
We get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago.
We had a lot of kids, trouble and pain,
But, Oh Lord, We'd do it again.

Because she had kisses sweeter than wine.

Does he love me, I wanna know,
How can I tell if he loves me so.
Is it in his eyes Oh no you'll be deceived
Is it in his sighs Oh no he'll make believe
If you wanna know if he loves you so,
It's in his kiss That's where it is...oh yeah.

Is it in his face Oh no it's just his charms
Or his warm embrace Oh no that's just his arms
If you wanna know if he loves you so,
It's in his kiss That's where it is

Oh oh oh hold him, kiss him, squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know-oh-oh-oh
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in his kiss

How 'bout the way he acts Oh no that's not the way
You're not listnin' to a word I say
If you wanna know if he loves you so,
It's in his kiss That's where it is
Oh oh it's in his kiss That's where it is

Measuring a summers day
I only find it slips away to grey
The hours they bring me pain

Tangerine, Tangerine
Living refletions from a dream
I was her love she was my queen
And now a thousand years between

Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these
To think of us again
And I do

Tangerine, Tangerine
Living refletion from a dream
I was her love she was my queen
And now a thousand years between

Well hello there,
my it's been a long long time
How am I doin',
oh well I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now and it seems that
It was only yesterday
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

How's your new love,
I hope that he's doin' fine
Heard you told him, yes baby
That you'd love him till the end of time
Well you know, that's the same thing
that you told me
Well it seems like just the other day
Mmm, ain't it funny how time slips away

Hello
How are you?
Have you been all right?
Through all those lonely lonely lonely nights
It's what I'd say
I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Hey
How you feeling?
Are still the same?
Don't you realise the things we did we did
Were all for real not a dream
I just can't believe
They all faded out of view

(Do whap do be do do whap
Do wah doo la-a-a-a-ang
Blue days, black nights
Do wah doo la-a-a-a-ang)
I look in to the sky
(the love you need aint gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(the little things you planned aint coming true)

Oh Oh Telelphone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh Oh Telelphone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight

OK,
So no-one's answering
Well can't you just let it ring
a little longer longer longer
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
I'll just sit tight
Through shaddows of the night
Let it ring for ever-more
Oh OH Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah

(Do whap do be do do whap
Do wah doo la-a-a-a-ang
Blue days, black nights
Do wah doo la-a-a-a-ang)
I look in to the sky
(the love you need aint gonna see you through)
And I wonder why
(the little things you planned aint coming true)

Oh Oh Telelphone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh Oh Telelphone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight

Oh Oh Telelphone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight
Oh Oh Telelphone line
Give me some time
I'm living in twilight

(repeat to fade)

Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she was waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, so information please
Help me get in touch with her in Memphis Tennessee

I've been driving all night my hands wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my hear
It's my baby calling said I need you hear
And it's a half past four and I'm shifting gear

When she gets lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends her cable coming in from above
We don't need no phone at all

We've got a thing that's a called a radar love
We've got an wave in the air
Radar love

Radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee coming on strong
The ruin has got me hypinotised
And I spin into a new sunrise

When I get lonely and I'm a sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all

We've got a thing that's a called a radar love
We've got a line in the sky
Radar love

heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.
Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.

Oh-a oh
I met your children
Oh-a oh
What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Pictures came and broke your heart.

Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.

Oh-a oh
You were the first one.
Oh-a oh
You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far
Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone to far.
Pictures came and broke your heart, put the blame on VTR.

You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
