3. _ Monologue
Thank you!
You know this is, i haven't done a concert, in about six years. and
It's oh thank you... but it's very exciting i
Must say, but it's also terribly, terribly
Scary... ooh, god i wish i was back on the set!
Mmm, i gotta tell you this funny thing. but it's
Not so funny. but talking about being scared
I was even more scared till i spoke to friends
Of mine also performers, you know...and they
Were telling me that they also... uh ...[drinks
Tea] tastes much better that way! the japanese
Said so! anyway... they told me that in order
To conquer their fears, you know, they ... eh
Well, some of them drink; but i really hate
The taste of liquors, so i...you know, i can't
Do that... and some of them... uh ... take pills;
But i can't even swallow aspirin, so i can't
Do that, but... more important than that... i
Have found, and i believe, that performers
Should be very strong, you know, and... you don't
Know what i'm gonna say... your way ahead of me tonight.
It's still illegal? we should face our problems head
On! you know... what i was about to say you see,
I have found that the way i conquer my fear of
A performance is just to... uhm... you know,
Talk about it, and you get it out in the open,
And you discuss it with a little...excuse me...
[sniff] you just, you just talk about it freely and just...
Everything... and she's... what a fantastic
Accord you just played... what was that of f minor
7th with a demented pinky on the 5th it was really high.

4. _ You'll Never Know (1955)
you'll never know u'lljust how much i'll miss you,
You'll never know just how much i care,
And if i tried,
I still couldn't hide
My love for you
You ought to know
For haven't i told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you,
I speak your name in my every prayer.
If there is some other way
To prove that i love you,
I swear i don't know how.
You'll never know if you don't know now.
You went away and my heart went with you,
I speak your name in my every prayer.
If there is some other way
To prove that i love you,
I sware i don't know how.
You'll never know if you don't know now.

5. _ A Sleepin' Bee
when you're in love
And you are wondering
If he really is the one
There's an ancient sign sure to tell you
If your search is over and done
Catch a bee
And if he don't sting you
Your in a spell that's just begun
It's a guarantee till the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won
When a bee lies sleeping
In the palm of your hand
You're bewitched
And deep in love's long looked after land
Where you'll see a sun up sky
With a morning new
And where the days go laughing by
As love comes a-calling on you
Sleep on bee don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the taking
I am happy at last
Maybe i dreams, but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A little sleeping bee told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found

6. _ Second Hand Rose
Father has a business strictly second hand
Everything from toothpicks to a baby-grand
Stuff in our apartment came from father's store
Even things i'm wearing someone wore before
It's no wonder that i feel abused
I never get a thing that ain't been used
I'm wearing second hand hats
Second hand clothes
That's why they call me
Second hand rose
Even our piano in the parlor
Father bought for ten cents on the dollar
Second hand pearls
I'm sick of second hand curls
I never get a single think that's new
Even jake, the plumber, he's a man i adore
Had the nerve to tell me he's been married before!
Everyone knows that i'm just
Second hand rose
From second avenue!
From second avenue! nu!
One more time!
Everyone knows that i'm just
Second hand rose
(from second avenue!)
From what?
Let's see if you know the fills!
Once while strooling
Through the ritz a girl got my goat...
(she nudged her friend
And said oh look there goes
My old fur coat)
You don't need me!
Everyone knows that i'm just
Second hand rose
From second avenue!
(ya can't beat the egg-creams!)
Good! second avenue!
(there is more between me
And fifth avenue, i tell ya)
Right! second avenue!

7. _ Between Yesterday And Tomorrow
between yesterday and tomorrow,
There is more there is more than a day.
Between day and night between black and white
There is more, there is more than gray.
Between the question and the answer
There

8. _ People
People,
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person,
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

9. _ Evergreen
Love soft as an easy chair
Love fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the april snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and i will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love
Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen

10. _ What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and south and east and west of your life?
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me.
All the seasons and the times of your days.
All the nickels and the dimes of your days.
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days.
All begin and end with me.
I want to see your face,
In every kind of light,
In fields of gold and
Forests of the night;
And when you stand before
The candles on a cake.
Oh let me be the one to hear
The silent wish you make.
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love you keep in your eyes,
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes,
It may take a kiss or two..
Through all of my life..
Summer, winter, spring and fall of my life,
All i ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you.

11. _ Come Rain Or Come Shine
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
Cause i'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Rain or shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But i'm with you always
I'm with you, i'm with you rain or shine
I'm with you, i'm with you rain or shine

12. _ You're The Top
at words poetic i'm so pathetic
That i always have found it best
Instead of getting it off my chest
To let 'em rest unexpressed
I hate parading my serenading
As i'll probably miss a bar
But if this ditty is not so pretty
At least it'll tell you how great you are
You're the top - you're the coliseum.
You're the top -
Mmm

14. _ Cry Me A River
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the lone night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on! come on!
Cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you...

15. _ Crying Time
Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long
Before it's crying time
Oh they say that absence makes
The heart grow fonder
(fonder)
And that tears are on their way
To make love grow
(grow)
Well, my love for you could never,
Never, never, never grow no stronger
(stronger)
If i live to be a hundred,
And i say a hundred years old
Oh you say that you've found someone
You love better
That's the way it's happened
Every time before
(before)
And as sure as the sun comes out tomorrow
(tomorrow)
Crying time will start
When you walk out
When you walk out my door
Oh it's crying time again
You're gonna leave me
(i can feel it now)
I can see that faraway look in your eyes
(i can feel it now)
(i can see it baby in your eyes)
I can tell by way you hold me, darling
That it won't be long before it's crying time
No it won't be long before it's crying time!

16. _ You Wanna Bet
laygh all you want to
But, i'm holding on to you
Right from here on in,
You wanna bet
You'll sluff me off
And i'll beg 'till you soften,
And ten to one i'll win
You wanna bet,
Taunt me,
Call me a pest,
But quite strangely,
You'll be impressed,
It's destiny.
Then by and by,
You and i will be we,
What a great duet,
You wait and see
Though you don't agree.
You wanna bet
You'll hold on to me
Taunt me,
Call me a pest,
But quite strangely
You'll be impressed
Yes, it's destiny
Then by and by
You and i will be we
What a great duet,
You wait and see
Though you don't agree
You wanna bet,
You'll hold on to me,
Just you wait and see,
You'll hold on to me.

17. _ Sweetest Sounds
What do i really hear
What is in the ear of my mind
Which sounds are true and clear
And which will never be defined
The sweetest sounds i'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words i'll ever know
Are waiting to be said
The most and entrancing side of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me

18. _ Miss Marmelstein
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Oh, why is it always miss marmelstein?
Miss marmelstein? miss marmelstein?
Other girls get called by their first names right away
They get cozy intimate ... do you know what i mean?
Nobody calls me: "hey, baby doll!"
Or "honey dear" or "sweetie pie"
Even my first name would be preferable
Though it's terrible, it might be better: it's yetta!
Or perhaps my second name that's tessye
Spells t-e-s-s-y-e!
But no, no, it's always miss marmelstein!
You'd think at least miss m. they could try...
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Oh, i could die!
I'm a very willing secretary
Enjoy my work as my employer will corroborate
Except for one disappointment one fly in the ointment
It's great i mean simply great
But the aggravation of my situation
I might as well get it off my chest
It's the drum appellation
Oh pardon the big words i apply
But i was an english major at c.c.n.y.
Drum appellation!
Well, literally i am persistently addressed
Persistently, perpetually, continually and inevitably addressed!
Believe me, it could drive a person positively psychosomatic
Why is it always miss marmelstein?
Miss marmelstein? miss marmelstein?
Other girls get called by their nick names right away
Slightly naughty or riske
Do you know what i mean? ha! ha...mmmmmmm!
Nobody calls me : "koo-chee-koo" or "boobala" or "passion pie"
Even "hey there babe!" thought not respectable
Ain't so objectable
It's kind of crummy but chummy
Of course if i got married, that would do it
So, where's the lucky guy? ha...
Till then it still is miss marmelstein!
Everyday i get more and more fast
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein! miss marmelstein!
Oh...oh...oh...!
I could bust!

19. _ I Know Him So Well
Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long.
Looking back i could have played it differently
One of few more moments who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least i know i know him well.
Wasn't it good? oh so good
Wasn't he fine? oh so fine
Isn't it madness he can't be mine?
But in the end he needs
A little bit more than me
More she needs security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well.
No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side
And though i move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide.
Looking back i could have played it differently
Could have played things some other way.
Learn about the man before i fell
I was just a little careless
But i was ever so much younger then.
I was so much younger then
Now at least i know i know him well
Wasn't it good? oh so good
Wasn't he fine? oh so fine
Isn't it madness he won't be mine?
Didn't i know how it would go?
If i knew from the start
Why am i falling apart?
Wasn't he fine? isn't it madness
He won't be mine?
But in the end he needs a little bit more than me
More she needs security
He needs his fantasy and freedom
I know him so well
It took time to understand me
I know him so well.

20. _ Papa, Can You Hear Me?
Prayer
God - our havenly father.
Oh, god - and my father
Who is also in heaven.
May the light
Of this flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul.
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa, can you find me in the night?
Papa, are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies
I seem to see a million eyes
Which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed it's doors?
The night is so much darker.
The wind is so much colder
The world i see is so much bigger now that i'm alone.
Papa, please forgive me.
Try to understand me.
Papa, don't you know i had no choice?
Can you hear me praying,
Anything i'm saying,
Even though the night is filled with voices?
I remember ev'rything you taught me
Ev'ry book i've ever read.
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And i feel so much smaller.
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright.
Papa, how i love you.
Papa, how i need you.
Papa, how i miss you
Kissing me goodnight.

21. _ You Don't Bring Me Flowers
Barbra
You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
Neil
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through that door at the end of the day...
Barbra
I remember when you couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after loving me late at night
Neil
When it's good for you, babe
And you're feeling all right
Barbra
When you just roll over and turn out the light...
And you don't bring me flowers anymore
Neil
It used to be so natural
Barbra
It used to be...
Neil
To talk about forever
Barbra
Mmm...
Neil
But used-to-bes don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
Till we sweep them away
Barbra
And baby i remember all the things you taught me
Neil
I learned how to laugh and i learned how to cry
Barbra
Well, i learned how to love and i learned how to lie
Neil
So you think i could learn how to tell you goodbye
Barbra
So you think i could learn how to tell you goodbye
You don't bring me flowers any more...
Both
Well, you think i could learn how to tell you goodbye...
Neil

22. _ Happy Days Are Here Again
So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are here again
So, let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!
