Stacey Kent – You’ve got a friend
When you’re down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think for me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there
Yes, I will
You’ve a friend
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon, you’ll hear me knocking upon your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there
Yes, I will
Ain’t it good to know
You’ve got a friend
When people can be so cold
They’ll hurt you
And desert you
And they’ll take your soul if you let them
But don’t you let them
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I’ll come running
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yes, I will
You’ve a friend
Stacey Kent – The Boy Next Door.
The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style
My only regret is we’ve never met
Though I dream of him all the while
But he doesn’t know I exist
No matter how I may persist
So it’s clear to see there’s no hope for me
Though I live at fifty-one-thirty-five Kensington Avenue
And he lives at fifty-one-thirty-three
How can I ignore the boy next door
I love him more than I can say
Doesn’t try to please me
Doesn’t even tease me
And he never sees me glance his way
And though I’m heart-sore, the boy next door
Affection for me won’t display
I just adore him
So I can’t ignore him
The boy next door
I just adore him
So I can’t ignore him
The boy next door
what a wonderful world
I see trees of green…….. red roses too
I see em bloom….. for me and for you
And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue….. clouds of white
Bright blessed days….dark sacred nights
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces…..of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands…..sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin……i love you.
I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more…..than Ill never know
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world
(instrumental break)
The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces…..of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands…..sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin…*spoken*(I ….love….you).
I hear babies cry…… I watch them grow
*spoken*(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself …….what a wonderful world.
The Ice Hotel
Let’s you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
The Caribbean’s all booked out and it’s just as well
While I’d have been much keener, on Barbados and Antigua
But just now I think the arctic will suit us well
Let’s you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
We’ve built it all with ice that’s pure and clear
The sofas, the lobby, even the chandelier
A thermostat guarantees a steady minus 5 degrees
What other place could serve our needs so well?
Let’s you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
Romantic places like Verona or Paris they’ll always lead you astray
You’d have to be a novice to ever trust Venice and those dreamy waterways
And what the tropics can do I know only too well
So let’s you and me go away to the Ice Hotel
I’ve got a crush on you – Stacey Kent
I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion
that I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
cause I have got a crush on you
How glad the many millions of timothies and lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
You ‘re my big and brave and handsome romeo
How I won you I shall never never know
Its not that youre attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I’ve got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion
that I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
cause I have got a crush my baby on you
Yes I’ve got crush my baby on you
Stacey Kent in Shall We Dance
Drop that long face
Come on have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this old world on a string
Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes
Watch your spirits climb
Shall we dance
Or keep on mopin’?
Shall we dance
And walk on air?
Shall we give in to despair?
Or shall we dance with never a care?
Life is short
We’re growing older
Don’t you be an also-ran
You’d better dance, little lady
Dance, little man
Dance whenever you can.
Samba Saravah (french)
Breakfast on a Morning Tram
Hushabye Mountain – by Stacey Kent
A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain
Softly blows o’er lullaby bay
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting
Waiting to sail your worries away
It isn’t far to Hushabye Mountain
And your boat waits down by the key
The winds of night so softly are sighing
Soon they will fly your troubles to sea
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain
Wave good-bye to cares of the day
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from lullaby bay
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain
Wave good-bye to cares of the day
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away from lullaby bay
Dreamsville by Stacey Kent
I’m in Dreamsville
Holding you
A dreamy view
Just we two alone with love
In Dreamsville
Time is new
We’re here to love
And we do
We can see the rest of the world
Below us
From our pink cloud
There’s no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring
Hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away
And here we love
Here we’ll stay
Stacey Kent – The Best Is Yet To Come
Out of the tree of life, I picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum.
Still it’s a real good bet, the best is yet to come.
The best is yet to come and babe won’t it be fine?
You think you’ve seen the sun
but you ain’t seen it shine
Wait till the warmup’s underway,
wait till our lips have met
Wait till you’ve seen that sunshine day, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
The best is yet to come and babe won’t it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you’re mine
Come the day you’re mine, I’m gonna teach you to fly.
We’ve only tasted the wine, we’re gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till you’re locked in my embrace, wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place, ain’t nothin’ like it here
The best is yet to come and babe won’t it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you’re mine.
Come the day you’re mine
Stacey Kent ~ Tis Autumn by Betty Boop
Old Father time checked, so there’d be no doubt;
Called on the North wind to come on out,
Then cupped his hands so proudly to shout,
“La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, ‘tis autumn!’
Trees say they’re tired, they’ve born too much fruit;
Charmed on the wayside, there’s no dispute.
Now shedding leaves, they don’t give a hoot –
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, ‘tis autumn!
(Bridge)
Then the birds got together to chirp about the weather
Mmmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.
After makin’ their decision, in birdie-like precision,
Turned about, and made a beeline to the south.
My holding you close really is no crime –
Ask the birds and the trees and old Father Time.
It’s just to help the mercury climb.
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, ‘tis autumn.
(Instrumental)
It’s just to help the mercury climb.
La-di-dah di-dah-di-dum, ‘tis autumn.
Stacey Kent – Landslide
You took my love, took it down
I climbed the mountain and I turned around
and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
till’ the landslide brought me down
Mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sale through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my live?
Well I´ve been afraid of changing
Cause I´ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I´m getting older too
Well I´ve been afraid of changing
Cause I´ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I´m getting older too, yes I´m getting older too
You take my love, take it down
Climb up the mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
with the landslide will bring you down
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
with the landslide will bring you down
Stacey Kent-They All Laughed
The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn’t a bit concerned
For from hist’ry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned
They all laughed at christopher columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when edison recorded sound
They all laughed at wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told marconi
Wireless was a phony
It’s the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they’ll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who’s got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at rockefeller center
Now they’re fighting to get in
They all laughed at whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed at fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That’s how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, hello, goodbye.
But oh, you came through
Now they’re eating humble pie
They all said we’d never get together
Darling, let’s take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who’s got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let’s at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
Who’s got the last laugh now?
Stacey Kent – Close your eyes
I like Stacey!!
