ISN'T THIS A LOVELY DAY 1935
The weather is fright’ningThe thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their wayBut as far as I'm concerned, it’s a lovely day
The turn in the weatherWill keep us togetherSo I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned it's a lovely dayAnd everything's O.K.
Isn't this a lovely dayTo be caught in the rain?
You were going on your wayNow you've got to remainJust as you were going Leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke They broke and
Oh, what a break for me
Page 3
I can see the sun up high Tho' we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and ICould be cozy and warmLet the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matterIf the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you It's a lovely day

BLUE MOON 1935
Blue moonYou saw me standing aloneWithout a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moonYou knew just what I was there forYou heard me saying a prayer forSomeone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever holdI heard somebody whisper
"Please adore me"And when I looked
The moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Page 5
Now I'm no longer aloneWithout a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

b. May 3 1919 Pete SeegerTURN! TURN! TURN! 1959
To everythingTurn! turn! turn!
There is a seasonTurn! turn! turn!
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to dieA time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to healA time to laugh, a time to weep
CHORUS
A time to build up, a time to break downA time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stonesA time to gather stones together
CHORUS
A time to gain, a time to lose
Page 7
A time to rend, a time to sewA time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, I swear it’s not too late
CHORUS
* * * * *
Lyrics by Toshi Seeger
A time to dress, a time to eatA time to sit and rest your feetA time to teach, a time to learnA time for all to take their turn
A time for dirt, a time for soapA time for tears, a time for hopeA time for fall, a time for springA time to hear the robin sing
CHORUS

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW 1965
What the world needs now Is love, sweet loveIt's the only thing
That there's just too little ofWhat the world needs now
Is love, sweet loveNo not just for some
But for everyone
Lord, we don't need another mountainThere are mountains
and hillsides enough to climbThere are oceans
and rivers enough to crossEnough to last 'til the end of time
What the world needs now Is love, sweet loveIt's the only thing
That there's just too little ofWhat the world needs now
Page 9
Is love, sweet loveNo not just for some
But for everyone
Lord, we don't need another meadowThere are cornfields
and wheatfields enough to growThere are sunbeams
and moonbeams enough to shineOh listen, Lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now Is love, sweet loveIt's the only thing
That there's just too little ofWhat the world needs now
Is love, sweet loveNo not just for some
Oh, but just forEvery, every, everyone

b. May 15 1918 Eddy ArnoldMAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY 1963
Make the world go awayAnd get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to sayAnd make the world go away
Do you remember when you loved meBefore the world took me astray?
If you do, then forgive meAnd make the world go away
Make the world go awayAnd get it off my shoulders
Say the things you used to sayAnd make the world go away
I'm sorry if I hurt youI'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used toAnd make the world go away
Make the world go awayAnd get it off my shoulders

Say the things you used to sayAnd make the world go away

b. May 18 1902 Meredith WillsonTILL THERE WAS YOU 1957
There were bells on the hillBut I never heard them ringingNo, I never heard them at all
Till there was you
There were birds in the skyBut I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at allTill there was you
And there was music
And there were wonderful rosesThey tell me
In sweet fragrant meadows of dawnAnd dew
There was love all aroundBut I never heard it singingNo, I never heard it at all
Till there was you

YOU'RE JUST IN LOVE 1950
I hear singing and there’s no one thereI smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on airI wonder why? I wonder why?
I keep tossing in my sleep at nightAnd what’s more I’ve lost my appetiteStars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyesI wonder why?
You don’t need analyzin’‘Cause it ain’t so surprisin’
That you feel very strange but niceYour heart goes pitter-patterI know just what’s the matter
Because I’ve been there once or twice
Put your head on my shoulderYou need someone who’s olderA rub-down with a velvet glove
Page 15
There is nothing you can takeTo relieve that pleasant ache
You’re not sick, you’re just in love

b. May 24 1941 Bob DylanTOMORROW IS A LONG TIME 1963
If today was not a crooked highwayIf tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long timeThen lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes, only if she was lyin' by meThen I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the watersI can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footstepsOr remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'And if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Yes and only if she was lyin' by meThen I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver, singin' riverThere's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beautyThat I remember in my true love's eyes
Page 18
Yes and only if my own true love was waitin'I could hear her heart a softly poundin'
Yes and only if she was lyin' by meThen I'd lie in my bed once again

b. May 24 1941 Bob DylanMAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE 1997
When the rain is blowing in your faceAnd the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embraceTo make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh, I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrongI've known it
from the moment that we metNo doubt in my mind
where you belong
I would go hungry, I'd go black and blue
Page 20
And I'd go crawling down the avenueNo, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regretThe winds of change
are blowing wild and freeYou ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happymake your dreams come true
There's nothing that I wouldn't doGo to the ends of this Earth for you
To make you feel my loveTo make you feel my love

b. May 31 1938 Peter Yarrowb. May 24 1941 Bob Dylan:
BLOWIN' IN THE WIND 1963
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?How many seas
must a white dove sailBefore she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer my friendIs blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?How many times
Page 22
can a man turn his headPretending he just doesn't see?
The answer my friendIs blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer my friendIs blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

TOP HIT this month 1961:Del Shannon: RUNAWAY
As I walk along I wonder What went wrong with our love
A love that was so strongAnd as I still walk on I think of
The things we've done togetherWhile our hearts were young
I'm a-walkin' in the rainTears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by meTo end this misery
And I wonderI wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why?Why, why, why, why, why she ran away
And I wonderWhere she will stay-ay
My little runawayRun, run, run, run, runaway

b. May 3 1903 Bing CrosbyCOUNT YOUR BLESSINGS 1954
When I'm worried and I can't sleepI count my blessings
instead of sheepAnd I fall asleep
counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting smallI think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleepJust count your blessings
instead of sheepAnd you'll fall asleep
counting your blessings

Guten Abend, gut' Nachtmit Rosen bedacht

With lilies o'er spread Is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and restMay thy slumber be blessedLay thee down now and restMay thy slumber be blessed
