"Violets For Your Furs"

It was winter in Manhattan, falling snow flakes filled the air,
The streets were covered with a film of ice,
But a little simple magic that I learned about somewhere,
Changed the weather all around, just within a thrice.
I bought you violets for your furs and it was spring for a while, remember?
I bought you violets for your furs and there was April in that December.
The snow drifted down and the flowers, and that is where it lay.
The snow looked like dew and the blossoms as on a summer day.
I bought you violets for your furs and there was blue in the wintry sky,
You pinned my violets to your furs and gave a lift to the crowds passing by,
You smiled at me so sweetly, since then one thought occurs,
That we fell in love completely, the day I bought you violets for your furs.

"Wait Till You See Her"

Wait till you see her, see how she looks, wait till you hear her laugh,
Painters of painting, drivers of gloom never could tell the height,
Wait till you feel the warmth of her glance, pensive and sweet and wise,
All of it lovely, all of it thrilling, I'll never be willing to free her,
When you see her, you won't believe your eyes.

"Walk Away"

Walk away, please go before you throw your life away,
A life I could share for just a day.
We could have met some years ago. For your sake I'll say,
Walk away, just go, walk away and live a life that's full with no regret.
Don't look back to me, just try to forget.
Why build a dream that cannot come true, so be strong,
Reach the stars now, walk away, walk on.
If I heard your voice, I'll beg you to stay,
So don't say a word, just run away.
Goodbye, my love, my tears will fall now that you're gone,
I can't help but cry but I must go on.
I'm sad that after searching so long,
Knew I love you but told you, walk away, walk on.

"Wandering"

Sometimes I think that I'm on the right track,
But I keep coming back to the same place,
The same place where I sought it.
Sometimes you'll think there's a smile on my face,
But it can't take the place of a free-heart, a me-heart that I've read of.
I can hear mem'ries singing through night and through day,
What good are mem'ries, they just seem to get in the way.
They get in the way.
When it's November, I'll think of July,
Where the sunshine will fly through a warm sky,
A warm sky where I'll wander.
When it's November, I'll think of July,
Where the sunshine will fly through a warm sky,
A warm sky where I'll wander.

"Watch What Happens"

Let someone start believing in you, let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens
One someone who can look in your eyes, and see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens
Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you, and what magic you'll see
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you. and what magic you'll see
Let someone give his heart, someone who cares like me
Let someone give his heart who cares like me

"Watertown"

Old Watertown, nothing much happenin', down on Main, 'cept a little rain
Old Watertown, everyone knows, the perfect crime, killin' time
And no one's goin' anywhere, livin's much too easy there
It can never be a lonely place when there's the shelter of familiar faces
Who can say it's not that way, Old Watertown, so much excitement
To be found hangin' round, there's someone standing in the rain
Waiting for the morning train, it's gonna be a lonely place
Without the look of familiar faces, but who can say it's not that way

"Wave"

So close your eyes, for thats a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
You can't deny, don't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was half past three,
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was half past three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave, don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

"We Hate To Leave"
(with Gene Kelly)
(from "Anchors Aweigh" soundtrack)

[Kelly:] We hate to leave.
[Frank:] We hate to leave.

[Both:] But when they give you leave, you gotta leave!
[Kelly:] Oh our hearts bleed for all you guys aboard,
[Frank:] But right now sympathy is a thing we can't afford.
[Kelly:] We hate to leave,
[Frank:] We hate to leave,

[Both:] Without you guys along, we'll even grieve,
[Frank:]
But we'll be back, yes, we'll be back,
Before we're even missed,
[Kelly:] And tell you guys about the countless Dames that we have kissed,
[Both:]
We'll even say, we'll even say,
We really hate to leave.

[Both:]
We hate to leave, we hate to leave,
But when they give you leave, you gotta leave.
[Frank:] No more pin-up gals that we so enjoy.
[Kelly:] Tonight, my boy, we get to meet the real McCoy.
[Both:]
We hate to leave, we hate to leave,
But we'll be back before the night is nigh.

[Frank:]
We want to stay, we want to stay,
Our hearts are with the ship.
[Kelly:]
But the Admiral made us take this leave
he beat us with a whip.
[Frank:]
We'd rather stay,
[Kelly:] Ha, ha, ha, haaa.
[Frank:] we'd rather stay,
[Kelly:] Ha, ha, ha, haaa.
[Both:] we really... hate to leave!

"We Open In Venice"

A troupe of strolling players are we, not stars like L. B. Mayer's are we,
But just a simple band who roams about the land,
Dispensing plentyof frivolity.
Mere folks who give distraction are we, yes, and give attraction are we, oh shut up, man
But just a crazy group, that never seeks to sosoup,
Around a pack of little on a leash.
Well,. here we go, back to the home country again.
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of laughs in Cremona, eh boys, our next jump in Parma, that dopy mopie menace,
And Mantua and Padua, and then we open again. where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of bars in Cremona, our next jump is Parma, that tearless fearless menace,
And Mantua, and Padua, then we open again. Where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of money in Cremona, our next jump in Parma, that's ingie pingie menace,
Then Mantua, then Padua, and then we open again, where?
We open in Venice, we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Lots of players in Cremona, our next jump in Parma, that heartless artless menace,
Then Mantua, then Padua, the we open again. Where?
Oh, let me see now, I got a map, let's pick out someplace.
Well just don't dicado back on the line now, oh let's take the first canyon out of here.
As a matter fact if we hurry we can beat the sack, for the chef's out there waiting for us.
Goodbye boys, gida, gida, gida.
