For The Boys

"now i lay me down to sleep. i pray the lord my soul to keep. angels on my left and right to keep me safe all through the night."

There's a place way up high,
Starry bright there, through the night there.
Close your eyes. let your wishes fly.
You'll be in dreamland by and by.

Dimpled and drowsy, off you go,
Over the treetops, sliding down a rainbow.
Sleepyhead, curl up in your bed.
And 'til the sun says, "rise and shine,"
Sleep warm in dreamland, baby mine.

There's a place worlds away,
Time has wings there, green with springs there.
Smiles and songs bloom on every tree.
Only in dreamland, just wait and see.

Deep down inside us, a child's still there,
Wishing for dreamland, kowing that it's somewhere.
Though it may seem so far away,
If you believe that dreams come true,
You'll find a dreamland waiting for you.
Mmmmmm.
"go to sleep now, dear."

Sweetheart, the night is growing old.
Sweetheart, my love is still untold.
A kiss that is never tasted,
Forever and ever is wasted.

For all we know we may never meet again.
Before you go, make this moment sweet again.
We won't say good night until the lsat minute.
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it.

For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. tomorrow's made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.

For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and we go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. tomorrow was made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.

Every night while i'm undressin',
Sayin' my prayers and lightly confessin',
I can hear hot licks
From a set of drums upstairs.

Well, it couldn't be Johnny 'cause he isn't there;
Johnny's overseas. we no not where.
But, believe it or not, every night on the dot
I can hear a tenor drum say:

Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that kid in the G.I. lid
Gonna choo-choo down the track?

Poor ol' me, i'm beat as can be,
And my rim has even started to rust.
Look at these sticks tryin' to take out the licks,
They're covered with an inch of dust, beep-a-dust.

Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
Gonna launch that last attack?

If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby
And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.

Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back?
When's that boy with the jumpin' joy
Gonna launch that last attack?

If he'll roll, roll, roll like a drumstick;
Chewin', chewin', chewin' on a gumstick.
Jack, we'll soon have a Japanese derby
And beat it like a cymbal on a music rack.

Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
Billy-a-dick, billy-a-dick, tick, tack.
When's that character comin' back, mom?

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain, deep as a river,
Come rain or come shine.

And 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, let me.

You're always 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 rain or shine.

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 rain or shine.
Rain or shine.

"it's christmas time. gonna sing a little song for you."

There are places i remember
All my life, though some have changed.
Some forever, not for better.
And some have gone, and some remain.

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can't recall.
Some are dead and some are living.
In my life i love them all.

But of all these friends and lovers,
There is no one compares with you.
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new.

Though i know i'll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know i'll often stop and think about them.
In my life i love you more.

Though i know i'll never ever lose affection
For people and things that went before,
I know i'll often stop and think of them.
But in my life i loved you more.
I love you more.
I love you more.
