’cause she should’a been mine
She could’a been mine
We would’a been sharing love until the end of
Time
I should’a known how
We would’a been close to paradise by now
If it could’a been
It would’a been
Still she should’a been mine

Sometimes she smiles when I see her passing by
Sometime she waves
When she turns and whispers “hi”, again
And I see the pain of the life she lives
Yet I’m hoping for a sign

’cause she should’a been mine
She could’a been mine
We would’a been sharing love until the end of
Time
I should’a known how
We would’a been close to paradise by now
If it could’a been
It would’a been
Still she should’a been mine

I’m the one that she’s been lookin’ for
We would have been so find
If it could’a been
It would’a been
Still she should’a been mine

The night that Tito played
My life forever changed
I felt my heart and soul come alive
I felt it all
Movin’ and swayin’ under the moon
Prayin’ to the rhythm of a puente tune
The night that Tito played
Nothin’ was ever the same

There was Romona
She came uptown from corona
Right there on the stairway of the subway train
We danced real slow
(she was heaven to know)
She whispered secrets
The way she kissed me it was perfect
We held on in the shadows of the city lights
Oh, it felt so right

The night that Tito played
My life forever changed
I felt my heart and soul come alive
I felt it all
Movin’ and swayin’ under the moon
Prayin’ to the rhythm of a puente tune
The night that Tito played
Nothin’ was ever the same

The night that Tito played
My life forever changed
I felt my heart and soul come alive
I felt it all
Movin’ and swayin’ under the moon
Prayin’ to the rhythm of a puente tune
The night that Tito played
Nothin’ would ever be the same

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

Seems like yesterday
It was you and me
How did it slip away?
You are a part of me
You live in the heart of me
I never stopped loving you
And so

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

If the answer’s “no”
I will understand
But it won’t change my mind
You are the only one
And I am the lonely one
I’ll never get over you
And so

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

Baby I miss you so badly
You know that I love you so madly

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

I’m comin’ back
So I can love you
The way I used to loved you long ago
Girl I’m comin’ back
Hopin’ that you’ll have me
And this time I will never let you go

I’m comin’ back

Little things reminding me about you
Who will I annoy again, if not you?
In my silent room sometimes
I’ll close my eyes
And I whisper sweet good-byes
You’ll never hear
Esther dear…..
Fifty years, Ester and Joe
Tell me how could this be so?
Oh how I miss you

Was I there
When you needed me to be there?
Could you see
There wasn’t one day
When you weren’t my best girl?
Though we both drove each other crazy
I love all the love you gave me
And you where all that mattered
In my world

Everyday I love you more
And miss you
And I wish you knew
That through the darkest night
You are still the light
That helps me find my way
And I pray

One day we will meet again
And all this emptiness will end
And I will kiss you
’till that day
Though we’re apart
I’ll hold you close
Here in my heart
But God
I miss you

But at night
In the dark
When the sun goes down
Yes at night
Night is when they
Go to town!

And they dance
And she fells like
Ginger Rogers
They dance!
He’s got the flair
Of Fred Astaire
They dance!
As they glide
Around the ballroom
They dance!
And the world
Belongs to them
When they dance!

Nobody knows that
She has a secret
None of her family
Would ever connect
All of his friends think
He’s shy and quiet
Not in the world would
They ever suspect

That at night
In the dark
When the sun goes down
Yes at night
Night is when they
Go to town

And they dance!
He’s as cool as
John Travolta!
They dance!
She’s as hot as Janet J.!
They dance!
As they glide
Around the ballroom
They dance!
They forget about the day
When they dance!

And they dance!
He’s Antonio Banderas
They dance!
She’s Ann Miller
On the screen!
They dance!
Now the crowd
Is cheering louder
They dance!
And the night
Is like a dream
When they dance!

Time flies
See the moon rise
As I’m makin’ my way
Through another long day
But I’ll go
To a place I know
In my heart I know
There’s just no place
Like home

Welcome home
Welcome home
To that place
That’s safe and warm
Always a shelter
From the storm
I’m going home
Welcome home
Roll out the welcome mat
For me!
I’m goin’ home

Sometimes
I remember
All the days I never knew
If I would ever make it through
But just when
I’d give up again
I’d remember when the days
Were stormy
Home was always
Waitin’ for me
Sayin’

Welcome home
Welcome home
Where there will always be
A welcoming light on
Just for me
When I go home
Welcome home
No place
That I would rather be
Than goin’ home

In my heart I know
That someday when my time
Is drawing near
I’m gonna hear

Welcome home
Welcome home
Where there will always be
Somebody waiting
There for me
When I go home
Home sweet home
Everyone’s smilin’ just for me
When I go home
In my heart I see
Somebody waiting
There for me

Welcome home
Welcome home
It looks like a
Starlight symphony
I’m goin’ home

Look how many beleave they need you
Look how many tried to read you
No one can
You get off on it shadow man

And so you smile your smile
And fool those fools you care about
You’ve got it all
You’ve got the whole thing figured out
Well haven’t you?

Just confuse’em with smoke and static
Make’em think that you enigmatic
That’s the plan
You’re the best at it shadow man

And when anyone penetrated
The illusion that you created
Off you ran
You’re too fast for them
Shadow man

No emotional complication
That would ruin your reputation
Every fan
Needs a fantasy shadow man

If they could see behind the smile
And find the fear and doubt
They’d turn away
They’d have the whole think figured out
Well wouldn’t they?

No one knows you but they all love you
Just don’t let them get too much of you
Careful man
Don’t you forget you’re the shadow man

Every day now I see you clearer
You’re the mystery in the mirror
Man to man
Tell me what’s the plan?
Tell me how long can you be
A shadow man

If you have to go
Then go
I want no more of your lyin’
I don’t wanna know
Just go
Hasn’t there been enough cryin’
Don’t tell me why
I
Don’t wanna know

Don’t tell me how you’ll love me forever
Don’t say that someday we’ll be together
Stop tryin’ to be kind
You were never really mind
And every word you say
Just drives me out of my mind

If you have to go
Then go
I want no more of your lyin’
I don’t wanna know
Just go
Hasn’t there been enough cryin’
Don’t tell me why
I
Don’t wanna know

How could I be so blind
I thought we were doin’ fine
You never said a word
Never gave me a sign

If you have to go
Then go
I want no more of your lyin’
I don’t wanna know
Just go
Hasn’t there been enough cryin’
Don’t tell me why
I
Don’t wanna know

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calender keep bringing
Happy holiday to you

I’m dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I’m dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
Why the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calender keep bringing
The most happy holiday to you

He’s making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He see you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

O! you better watch out!
You better not cry.
You better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty toot toot and rummy tum tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids and girls and boys land
Will have a jubilee
He’s goona build a toy land
All arould the christmas tree

So you better not pout
Better not shout
Better not cry
Better not sigh
Tellin’ you why
Santa Claus is coming

Better not pout
Better not shout
Better not cry
Better not sigh
Tellin’ you why
Santa Claus is coming

I mean the great big man with the snow white beard
Santa Claus is coming to town

I met a man who lives in Tennessee
And he was headin’ for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania folks are trav’lin’ down
To Dixie’s sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee,
The traffic is teriffic!

Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home, sweet home

When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can’t beat home
Holidays you can’t beat home
Holidays you can’t beat home,sweet home

I’ll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow
And misteltoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudeles
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad

It’s that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev’ry song you hear seems to say
Merry Christmas
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too

I can’t remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I’m burning with love!
My heart’s on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I’m burning with love!
My heart’s on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I’ve got my love to keep me warm

Out with the fire off with the sweater
I got a heater coultn’t be better will be
So confee all through the storm
I’ve got my love to keep me warm

But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m going to make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

Well she tried hard to help me
You know, she put me at ease
And she loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I’m so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad
Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

Well It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
God I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Warm as the fire glow
Soft as the falling snow
A pre….. micael we live in
This wonder of a gift of love

Night falls
At this coldest time of the year
Love calls

Here where I love you so
Now as our blessings grow
We shear the greatest gift we’ll ever know
A gift of love

A gift of love

Maybe it’s much too early in the game
Oh, but I thought I’d ask you just the same.
What are you doing New Year’s… New Year’s eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it’s exactly twelve o’clock that night?
Welcoming in the New Year… New Year’s eve

Maybe I’m crazy to suppose
I’d ever be the one you chose …
Out of the thousand invitations you’ll received ?
But in case I stand one little chance,
Here comes the jackpot question in advance…
What are you doing New Year’s… New Year’s Eve?

Out of the thousand invitations you’ll received ?
Oh, but in case I stand one little chance,
Here comes the jackpot question in advance…
What are you doing New Year’s… New Year’s Eve?
What are you doing New Year’s Eve

Just arrived track seventeen
All the way from Tulsa Okla-nowhere
Where’s her chauffeured limousine?
Where’s the marching band?
Just in time to take the town
And though her knees are shaking
She’s making her stand

It all starts now
I can see her name in neon
I won’t allow
Anyone to disagree
Don’t ask me how
But before too long
She’ll be on some marquee
New York or bust!
She’s just arrived!

Just arrived track seventeen
(Just arrived track twenty four)
All the way from Tulsa Oklahoma
(All the way from St. Paul, Minnesota)
(All the way from Fargo, North Dakota)
Though she’s still a little green
(Marching through the open door)
When she left, she left her past behind
(Wonder what she’ll find)
Just imagine, here she is the girl from work
(The soda jerk)
(The groc’ry clerk)

The kid they all made fun of
Is one of a kind

It all starts now
Look who’s currently appearing
This girl’s a wow
All the magazines agree
She’ll take her bow
And the world will all be cheering, wait and see
New York or bust
She’s just arrived

Hey!
(Hey! which way’s uptown?)
Somebody said they’re auditioning for “south pacific”
(Where’s the palace?)
Say!
(Hey!, she’s from Dallas!)
Somewhere I read they need lookers and she looks terrific
(That one’s Alice!)
This is her moment
(Hey, world here I come!)
She knows it she can taste it
And she sure ain’t gonna waste it
Cause it’s time she faced it

It all starts now
(Right now!)
I can see her name in neon
(I can see her name in blazing neon)
This girl’s a wow
(And how!)
All the magazines agree
(No way anyone would dare to disagree)
She’ll take her bow
(Oh, wow!)
And before too long she’ll be on some marquee

Gathering dust
She just survived
Now, New York or bust
She’s just arrived!
Hey world
She’s just arrived!

Some prefer the cafe europa
Sipping dubonnet on a stool
Me, I get my kicks at the copa
That’s where i’m a dancin’ fool
I’ll show you some moves
Smooth as satin
And others they don’t teach in school
When that crooner starts in to scattin’
Just give me a chance an’
My tuxedo pants an’
Presto!
I’m a dancin’ fool

When those trumpets blare, man
I ain’t got a care man
I’m like fred astaire, man
Cool!

Just give me a chance an’
My tuxedo pants an’

Presto!
I’m a dancin’ fool!

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven to look forward to?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You’re my dream come true

In my fantasy
You believed in me
And as long as you were there
Then I believed in me
Now suddenly

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven to look forward to?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You’re my dream come true

Now you are my dream
You are my only dream
I’ll hold you in my heart forever
Who needs to dream?
Who needs to dream?
When I see you there
Then I see my every dream come true

Who needs to dream when there is you?
Who needs a heaven?
For my whole life through
Who needs to dream?
You’re my dream come true
Every dream
All come true
My dream come true!

Hey babe
Now that I’ve found you life’s a song
Say babe
Where were you hiding I’ve been waiting so long
Sweet heaven I’m in love again
So totally in love again
I’ll shout it everywhere I go
I’ll sing it on the radio
I want the whole world to know
Sweet heaven I’m in love again

Were you real
Or were you part of a dream
Calling to me from across the floor?
In your sweet voice
There was music
And we danced the bolero de amor

Let the drums carry us away!
They say all there is to say
And all too soon the night becomes the day
And magical – miracle

You are real
And we are living a dream
Sharing a love we have hungered for
Let your passion soar like music
In the spell of bolero de amor

[Ensemble:]
The drums carried us away
They said all there was to say
And all too soon the night became day
And magical-miracle

There are times
You live as if in a dream
Drawn by your heart to a distant door
Trust your heart and
Take the moment
When you hear
Your bolero de amor
Amor
Amor!

[Barry:]
Love is what’s true
The rest is illusion
What I’ve discovered with you
No one can steal

[Both:]
The truth isn’t what it seems
The truth is our wildest dreams
Real was your kiss
But as for this
This can’t be real

[Barry:]
This can’t be real
So why do I love you
I know that this can’t be real
Still you are there
You aren’t real
But somehow you’ve found me
To haunt and surround me
You’re everywhere

[Both:]
This isn’t true
It’s only illusion
What I’ve discovered with you
Is just an ideal

[Barry:]
This must be a dream, I know
So why do I want you so?
Is it because

[Olivia:]
Only because
This can’t be real?

[Barry:]
This can’t be real

[Both:]
Love is what’s true
The rest is illusion
What I’ve discovered with you

[Olivia:]
No one can steal

[Barry:]
No one can steal

[Both:]
The truth isn’t what it seems
The truth is our wildest dreams

[Barry:]
This must be a dream, I know

[Olivia:]
So why do I want you so?
Real was your kiss

[Barry:]
Is it because

[Olivia:]
Oh, but as for this

[Barry:]
Only because

[Both:]
This can’t be real
This can’t be real
This can’t be real

At the copa
Copacabana
The hottest spot north of havana
Here at the copa
Copacabana
Music and passion
Were always the fashion
At the copa
They fell in love…

His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair
He saw lola dancing there
And when she finished
He called her over
But rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew
And chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

At the copa
Copacabana
The hottest spot north of havana
At the copa
Copacabana
Music and passion
Were always the fashion
At the copa
She lost her love

Her name is lola
She was a showgirl
But that was many years ago
When they use to have a show
Now it’s a disco
But not for lola
Still in the dress she use to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined
And drinks herself half blind
She lost her youth
And she lost her tony
Now she’s lost her mind

At the copa
Copacabana
The hottest spot north of havana
At the copa
Copacabana
Music and passion
Were always the fashion
At the copa
Don’t fall in love…
