Harry Connick Jr Lyrics

True Love: A Celebration Of Cole Porter (2019)

Anything Goes lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking

Was looked on as something shocking

But now God knows, anything goes

Good authors too who once knew better words

Now only use four-letter words

Writing prose

Anything goes

The world has gone mad today

And good's bad today

And black's white today

And day's night today

When most guys today that women prize today

Are just silly gigolos

And though I'm not a great romancer

I know that I'm bound to answer when you propose

Anything goes

Well, when grand mama, whose age is eighty

In night clubs is getting matey with gigolos

Anything goes

When mothers pack and leave poor father

Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros

Anything goes

Just think of those shocks you've got

And those knocks you've got

From those boos you've got

From those moves you've got

And those pains you've got

If any brains you've got

From those little radios

When every night

The set that's smart

Is intruding in nudist parties in studios

Anything goes

Well, the world has gone mad today

And good's bad today

And black's white today

And day's night today

And that gent today

You gave a cent today

Once had several chateaux

And though I'm not a great romancer

I know that I'm bound to answer when you propose

Oh, anything goes

I mean anything, man, anything goes

I Love Paris lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

I love Paris in the spring time

I love Paris in the fall

I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles

I love Paris every moment

Every moment of the year

I love Paris, why-oh-why do I love Paris?

Because my love is near

I love Paris every moment, yes

Every moment of the year

Oh baby, I love Paris, why-oh-why do I love Paris?

Because my love

Hey, because my love

Ooh, because my love

Hey, because my love

Ooh, because my love is near

I Concentrate On You lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Whenever skies look gray to me

And trouble begins to brew

Whenever the winter winds become too strong

I concentrate on you

When fortune cries, "Nay, nay" to me

And people declare, "You're through"

Whenever the blues become my only song

I concentrate on you

On your smile, so sweet, so tender

When at first, my kiss you decline

On the light in your eyes when you surrender

And once again our arms intertwine

And so when wise men say to me

That love's young dream never comes true

To prove that even wise men can be wrong

I concentrate on you

Your smile, so sweet, so tender

When at first, my kiss you decline

On the light in your eyes when you surrender

And once again our arms intertwine

And so when wise men say to me

That love's young dream never comes true

Well, just to prove that even wise men can be wrong

I concentrate on you

All Of You lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

I love the look of you, the lure of you

I'd love to make a tour of you

The eyes, the arms, the mouth of you

The east, west, north and the south of you

I'd love to gain complete control of you

And handle even the heart and soul of you

So love, at least, a small percent of me, do

For I love all of you

I'd love to gain complete control of you

And handle even the heart and soul of you

So love, at least, a small percent of me, do

For I love all of you, for I love all of you

Mind If I Make Love To You lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

In the heavens, stars are dancing

And the mounting moon is new

What a rare night for romancing

Mind if I make love to you?

Since the dear day of our meeting

I've wanted to tell you all I long to do

Dawn is nearing, time is fleeting

Mind if I make love to you?

If you'll let me, I'll endeavour

To persuade you I'm your party for two

And from then on you will never

Mind if I make love to you

Baby, if you'll let me, I'm going to endeavour

To persuade you I'm your party for two

And from then on you will never

Mind if I make love to you

And from then on you will never

Mind if I make love to you

Just One Of Those Things lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

It was just one of those things

Just one of those crazy flings

One of those bells that now and then rings

Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights

Just one of those fabulous flights

A trip to the moon on gossamer wings

Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit

Of the end of it

When we started painting the town

We'd have been aware

That our love affair

Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen

Here's hoping we meet now and then

It was great fun

But it was just one of those things

In The Still Of The Night lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

In the still of the night

As I gaze from my window

At the moon in its flight

My thoughts all stray to you

In the still of the night

All the world is in slumber

All the times without number

Darling, when I say to you

Do you love me as I love you?

Are you my life to be, my dream come true?

Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight

Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill

In the chill, still, of the night

Do you love me as I love you?

Are you my life to be, my dream come true?

Or will this dream of mine fade out of sight

Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill

In the chill, still, of the night

Why Can't You Behave lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Why can't you behave?

Oh, why can't you behave?

After all the things you told me

And the promises that you gave

Oh, why can't you behave?

Oh, why can't you be good?

And do just as you should

Won't you turn that new leaf over

So your baby can be your slave?

Oh, why can't you behave?

There's a farm I know near my old hometown

Where we two can go and try settlin' down, yeah

There I'll care for you forever

Well, at least till you dig my grave

Why can't you behave?

Settle down and behave

Begin The Beguine lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

(Instrumental)

You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

You'd be so nice to come home to

You'd be so nice by the fire

While the breeze, on high, sang a lullaby

You'd be all my heart could desire

Under stars chilled by the winter

Under an August moon shining above

You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise

To come home to and love

You'd be so nice to come home to

You'd be so nice by the fire

While the breeze, on high, sang a lullaby

You'd be all that I could desire

Under stars chilled by the winter

Under an August moon shining above

You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise

To come home to

To come home to and love

True Love lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

(originally by Cole Porter)

I give to you and you give to me

True love, true love

So on and on it will always be

True love, true love

For you and I have a guardian angel

On high, with nothing to do

But to give to you and to give to me

Love forever true

For you and I have a guardian angel

On high, with nothing to do

But to give to you and to give to me

Love forever true

For you and I have a guardian angel

On high, with nothing to do

But to give to you and to give to me

Love forever true

You're Sensational lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

I've no proof when people say

You're more or less aloof

But you're sensational

I don't care if you are called

"The Fair Miss Frigidaire"

'Cause you're sensational

Making love is quite an art

What you require

Is the proper squire

To fire your heart

And if you say

That one fine day

You'll let me come to call

We'll have a ball

'Cause you're sensational, sensational

That's all

And if you say

That one fine day

You'll let me come to call

We'll have a ball

'Cause you're sensational

Girl, you're just sensational

'Cause you're sensational, sensational

That's all

You Do Something To Me lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

You do something to me

Something that simply mystifies me

Tell me, why should it be?

You have the power to hypnotize me

Let me live 'neath your spell

Do do that voodoo that you do so well

For you do something to me

That nobody else can do

Let me live 'neath your spell

Do do that voodoo that you do so well

For you do something to me

That nobody else can do

Bourbon Street Parade lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Let's drive down or fly down

To New Orleans

That city, so pretty

Historic scenes (Way on down in New Orleans)

And I'll take you, parade you

Down Bourbon Street

Oh, we'll see all the hot spots

We'll meet all those big shots

Down on Bourbon Street

Yes, let's drive down, maybe we'll fly down

To New Orleans

Yeah, that city, sure is pretty

Historic scenes (Way on down in New Orleans)

And I'll take you, maybe I'll parade you

Down Bourbon Street

Oh, we'll see all the hot spots

We'll meet all those big shots

Down on Bourbon Street

Make It Merry lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

What are the chances you'll be here

To spend your Christmas home this year?

With all my heart I ask you, dear

Please, make it merry

What are the chances you'll be free

To spend your Christmas here with me?

There's nowhere else that you should be

Please, make it merry

If you would

Odds are good

Christmas will be bright

If you won't

Then I don't

Think I'll be alright

What are the chances you'll decide

To not just call and say you tried?

That would leave me teary-eyed

Please, make it merry

Mmm, if you would (If you would)

Odds are good (Odds are good)

Christmas will be bright (Christmas will be bright, yeah)

If you won't (If you won't)

Then I don't (Then I don't)

Think I'll be alright, oh

What are the chances you would choose

To grin and bear some better news

And chase away my Christmas blues, yeah?

Please, make it merry (Please, make it merry, babe)

Please, make it merry (Say it again, yeah)

Please, make it merry (Please, make it merry, baby)

Please, make it merry (Mmm, have a merry Christmas)

Please, make it merry (Hey)

Please, make it merry (Please, make it merry, baby, yeah)

Please, make it merry (Please)

Please, make it merry

Mardi Gras In New Orleans lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Go to New Orleans

You gotta go see the Mardi Gras

When you go to New Orleans

You gotta go see the Mardi Gras

If you see that Mardi Gras

Somebody gonna show you what carnival for

You can see the Zulu King

Down on Saint Claude and Dumaine

You can see the Zulu King

Down on Saint Claude and Dumaine

If you see the Zulu King

You might even see the Zulu Queen

My Love lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

(originally by Paul McCartney & Wings)

And when I go away

I know my heart can stay with my love

It's understood, it's in the hands of my love

And my love does it good

Wo, wo-wo, wo

My love does it good

And when the cupboard's bare

I'll still find something there with my love

It's understood, it's everywhere with my love

And my love does it good

Wo, wo-wo, wo

My love does it good

Oh, I love, oh, my love

Only my love holds the other key to me

Oh, my love, oh, my love

Only my love does it good to me

Wo, wo-wo, wo

My love does it good

Don't ever ask me why

I never say goodbye to my love

It's understood, it's everywhere with my love

And my love, she does it good

Wo, wo-wo, wo

My love does it good

Oh, I love, oh, my love

Only my love does it good to me

Wo, wo-wo, wo

On This Christmas Morning lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

On this Christmas morning

My sorrows fall behind me

This day will remind me

Of your promise of love

The clouds are all parting

A light of hope is shining

And each silver lining

Brings your promise of love

And I pray that you'll guide me

I am at peace when you walk beside me

Please, God, provide me

Peace, hope and love

I know there's an angel

For every star above me

Singing you love me

On this Christmas morn

And I pray that you'll guide me

I am at peace when you walk beside me

Please, God, provide me

Peace, hope and love

I know there's an angel

For every star above me

Singing you love me

On this Christmas morn

Stars Still Shine lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

All this new news is getting old

Starting to make my whole world cold

The fire's become so uncontrolled

Thank God for you

Last I knew things were fine

Skies of blue and Columbine

Seems we've crossed the battle line

Thank God for you

And the stars still shine

And your love is mine

Soon I know we'll be fine

'Cause the stars still shine

I'd save the world if I could

Someone will in all likelihood

Well, it's probably you because you would

Thank God for you

And the stars still shine

And your love is mine

Soon I know we'll be fine

'Cause the stars still shine

Yeah, this is all about you

I'm not here without you

Everything you gave me

Every time you saved me, uh

And the stars still shine

And your love is mine

Soon I know we'll be fine

'Cause the stars still shine

'Cause the stars still shine, yeah

(I Like It When You) Smile lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Woke up, wrong side of the bed
Baby it's my birthday
One more year closer to death
Couldn't be the worst day
That smile ain't nothin' to you
You make it look so easy
I walked up into here
Tryin' to buy a can of beer
Walked out with a case of wine

(Smile) I like it when you smile
(I do)
I like it when you look me up and down and say
"Boy, have you got the time?"
(Smile) I like it when you smile
(I do)
Just a little thing like that
Could put a spring up in my stride

I don't mind once in a while
You take advantage of me
Go ahead, go the extra mile but girl
You don't have to love me
Come on, say "have a good day"
And you really mean it
I try to pretend again and again
Waitin' for luck but I never know when
Sleep on the floor when I stay with my friends
Always wake up angry!

I like it when you smile (Smile)
(I do)
I like it when you look me up and down and say
"Boy, have you got the time?"
(Smile) I like it when you smile
(I do)
Just a little thing like that
Could put a spring up in my stride
(I like it when you smile)
I like it when you smile

Hey, hey
I like it when I play it cool and then you
Burn me like a blazin' fire
(I like it when you smile)
I like it when you smile
The way you got mine
I like it when you knock me off my feet
Baby, make me walk the wire

Can I get your attention
The way you got mine?
Can I get your attention
Don't even walk the line

Listen, baby when you smile like that
I guess if I got with the feeling was like
You gave me a spike of my heart-(break)
You're an emotional defibrillator
But greater (greater; I'll have another one of those)
I'm really not trying to oppose myself
But you make me juxtapose myself
Expose myself
Just came enough to compose myself

I like it when you smile
I do
I like it when you look me up and down and say
"Boy, have you got the time?"
(Smile) I like it when you smile
Just a little thing like that
Can put a spring up in my stride
(I like it when you smile)
I like it when you smile
Hey-hey (I do)
I like it when I play it cool and then you
Burn me like a blazin' fire
(I like it when you smile)
I like it when you smile
(I do)
I like it when you do, mm
You like it, mm

(I Do) Like We Do lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

People stay together forever
In the light of a meaning, too
But no one does, 'I do' like we do
Fireworks fade and the fireflies
Once the honeymoon's through
They don't do 'I do' like we do

Nobody got a you like me
Nobody got this history
Of the good times, and the hard times
And the wild times they've been through
Nobody got a me like you
And I ain't much but this much is true
No one does 'I do' like we do

I tried to keep you guessin'
And you still got me confused
No one does 'I do' like we do
Everybody turns out the light, oh
The day is through
No one does 'I do' like we do

Nobody got a you like me
Nobody got this history
Of the good times, and the hard times
And the wild times they've been through
Nobody got a me like you
And I ain't much but this much is true
No one does 'I do' like we do

I ain't knockin' what the others got
Cuz they a good thing, too
But they don't do 'I do' like we do
Ramblin' down this same ol' road
We'll find our 'something new'
And no one does 'I do' like we do, yeah

Nobody got a you like me
Nobody got this history
Of the good times, and the hard times
And the wild times they've been through
Nobody got a me like you
And I ain't much but this much is true
No one does 'I do' like we do

No one does 'I do' like we do
No one does 'I do' like we do
No one does (no one does), no one does
No one does (no one does), no one does
No one does (no one does), no one does
(No one does) yea, yeah
No one does (no one does), no one does

You Have No Idea lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

All through the day
I'm seein' your face on replay
Like a movie in my mind
'Till barely even I see my real life
All through the night time
I lie and relive the last time
Thinkin' 'bout the night you stayed here
You get me high and then you disappear
And you're making me laugh
When you say you wonder
How I feel about you

You have no idea
How many times I think about you
How many nights of been waiting to love you
How much of come to need you
Come to meet you have no idea
How many ways I dream about you
How many days of been waiting to touch you
Now that I've come to meet you
I am so in love

You have no idea

Why can't I hold you
Why can't I be the one who
Who you wake and do you lie with
Who you laugh and dry your eyes with
And I'm shaking my head

When you say you don't know
If I really want you

You have no idea
How many times I think about you
How many nights of been waiting to love you
How much of come to need you
Come to meet you have no idea
You have no idea
How many times I think about you

How many nights of been waiting to love you
How much of come to need you
Come to meet you have no idea

And now you want to know how I'm sure that you were just what I'm looking for
But we should go out together more in line because you still make me laugh aloud
When you say you wonder how I feel about you

You have no idea
How many times I think about you
How many nights of been waiting to love you
How much of come to need you
Come to meet you have no idea
You have no idea
How many ways I dream about you
How many days of been waiting to touch you
Now that I've come to meet you
I am so in love
You have no idea

"Every Man Should Know" (2013)

Every Man Should Know lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Not every man can build his dream house
Not every man has big words to say
Able men keep this world turnin
For the rest of us making our way

Not every man can write a love song
To sing to the one that he holds so true
There are things a man can try learning
There are things he should know how to do

Every man should know how to love her
Every man should know how to care
Every man should recognize what she’s saying with her eyes
And help with her burdens to bear

Not every man can be the hero
And ride to the sun when he is through
But it’s not the hero returning
At the end of the work day to you

Every man should know how to love her
Every man should know how to care
Every man should recognize what she’s saying with her eyes
And help with her burdens to bear

Sunsets make was for the evening sky
Nighttime makes room for the day
Treasure her love ‘til the day you die
And never give it away

Every man should know how to love her
Every man should know how to care
Every man should recognize what she’s saying with her eyes
And help with her burdens to bear

Oh every man should know how to care

One Fine Thing lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

When I'm walkin… I see you
And I'm wonderin what it must be like to be you
You're a sunrise, you're heaven
You're the reason that God rested on day seven

You're one fine fine thing

When I'm dreamin… I love you
And I know that there is just one version of you
Can I have you? I need you
If you tell me where you wanna go I'll lead you

You're one fine fine thing

I want you now in a real bad way
So what do I have to do?
I could somehow have a real good day
It all depends on you

Well I've flirted… I've dated
And I'm thinkin single life is overrated
So I'll loiter and linger
And I'll try to get a ring around your finger

You're one fine fine thing
You're one fine fine thing
You're one fine fine thing

I Love Her lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

And I would never say goodbye to her
There are no days that I don’t cry for her
There are no thing I wouldn’t try for her
I’d die for her, I love her

There are no ways I could explain to her
There are no love songs that retain to her
I’m like this innocent refrain to her
I vain to her, I try

A million men have battled for her
I’d give my soul to just explore her
If she’d just make a moment for me
She’d adore me too

And I’d do anything to be with her
My heart forever would be free with her
And still the only one I see with her
Is me with her, I love her

A million men have battled for her
I’d give my soul to just explore her
If she’d just make a moment for me
She’d adore me too

And I’d do anything to be with her
My heart forever would be free with her
And still the only one I see with her
Is me with her, I love her
I love her

Greatest Love lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

When I was a baby lying in my bed
My mama told me stories in her head
Sometimes we were happy, sometimes it was sad
I’d keep em forever, some of the best days that I had

She told me bout men, we did nothing like
Thank God I’m a boatload, you never got on my way
She told me bout women, just wanna be true
But my mama man did finally found a woman to do

My mama said “too little I was then”
Well you can right the error, the life that lies ahead

We’re on our way to forever, we’re on our way to feel good
We’re on our way to a lifetime like we knew we could
We were right in the middle, ain’t young and old
But we tell em the greatest love story ever told

Mama said there’s a reason they call them fairytales
Only people like Jonah wind up living in wells
But she said I was special and I will never give in
I’ll find me a girl and a fairytale will begin

My mama tried to live until she died
And even if she never met you she’d be happy you’re my bride

We’re on our way to forever, we’re on our way to feel good
We’re on our way to a lifetime like we knew we could
We were right in the middle, ain’t young and old
But we tell em the greatest love story ever told

Yea we tell em the greatest love story ever told
We tell em the greatest love story ever told

Come See About Me lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Not asking for anything
Baby come see about me
Don’t want you to do a thing
But baby come see about me
I don’t wanna feel deserted
I don’t wanna feel alone

I know you have your life
And it goes around you
And everybody sees they need you too
You shoulda hear me calling
Must astound you
But no one really needs you like I do

I don’t wanna bother you
Baby come see about me
I don’t wanna trouble you
But baby come see about me
And I’ll even pay the cab fair
You can’t let em lead around

And if someone should ask
Use your discretion
Nothing you could say can hurt my pride
And if I had another first impression
I’d tell you what I really feel inside

Come see about me
Come see about me
I’m waiting patiently
Come see about me

And if it’s too much for you
Just want you to know about me
I’ll stay out of touch for you
However hard that might be
I can make it on my own now
Well at least I know I’ll try

And on the wind I hear the sound of laughter
It makes me smile, as laughter tends to do
But when the wind is dying, the chill comes after
Because I know that laugh belongs to you

Come see about me
Come see about me
I’m waiting patiently
Come see about me

Friend (Goin' Home) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

I might not say what I have in the back of my mind
But you always seem to know
You can see right through me
You always get right to me
Even if I might not let it show

I can’t recall all the times that I held out my hand
And you held out your hand too
Never did you doubt me,
You knew all about me
And you’ve found a way to pull me through

When the road I’m running doesn’t end
Then love is waiting round the bend
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I’m going home to see my friend

Alright, yea

Took me a long time to learn, I’m glad you waited around
Sometimes I take a while to see
I’m better because of you, I hope you know I love you
‘Cause I know how much that you love me

When the road I’m running doesn’t end
Then love is waiting round the bend
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I’m going home to see my friend

Like the bird I breather, that’s a friend indeed
It’s a church on the horizon
All the soldiers who knows the world is screwed
It’s the show that they’ll keep prize on

When the road I’m running doesn’t end
Then love is waiting round the bend
I pick up my pace and then I pretend
I’m going home to see my friend

I’m going home to see my friend
I’m going home to see my friend

Being Alone lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Snappy sway and I’m jealous
And happy to be
Mr. Sunshine’s right jealous
It’s raining on me
Thank you, I’m doin fine on my own
I’m happy being alone

Every inch in a gladys
And taking all spring
I ain’t gaining no status
It don’t mean a thing
If it’s important
I’ll have to postpone
I’m happy being alone

The air is cold and the fire’s hot
And my favorite sweater’s wool
There’s coffee brewing in my coffee pot
And my message box is full

Roses roaming round fences
With nowhere to go
Only thing making sense is
Just watching them grow
Don’t try to call me
I’ve turned off my phone
I’m happy being alone

The air is cold and the fire’s hot
And my favorite sweater’s wool
There’s coffee brewing in my coffee pot
And my message box is full

Roses roaming round fences
With nowhere to go
Only thing making sense is
Just watching them grow
Don’t try to call me
I’ve turned off my phone
I’m happy being alone

I’m happy… just being… alone

Love My Life Away lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

The first piece of morning finds its way into my bed
And I ain’t quite ready yet to wait
I hear somebody breathing so I know that I ain’t dead
Guess he ain’t ready yet my soul to take

I sit myself up and let my feet fall on the floor
The little hand ain’t made it halfway round
I’m too tired to be inspired, I’ve been here before
But I’m glad to see that you’re still sleeping sound

I want the last thing I see to be your face
Kissing you the last thing that I do
And when I die let me die in your embrace
But until then I wanna love my life away with you

The colors through my window are all filed with afternoon
Prayers I hear of Lenden picking
It’s thoughts to make a melody, yet I can’t place the tune
It must be wondering where my mind has been

I want the last thing I see to be your face
Kissing you the last thing that I do
And when I die let me die in your embrace
But until then I wanna love my life away with you

I can’t borrow another tomorrow
I can’t even guarantee today
But God willing we’ll still be fulfilling
Every dream you dreamed along the way

End of my days circling ‘bove me like a bird
That ain’t quite ready yet to land
If I’ll awake before I die I still won’t be the turn
I’ll think about the day you took my hand

I want the last thing I see to be your face
Kissing you the last thing that I do
And when I die let me die in your embrace
But until then I wanna love my life away with you

You've Got It lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

You turn corners
All you find is empty rooms
You reach milestones
Just to bear another road

You’re just waiting
For your poor heart to explode
And you wonder
How much you can take

You chase rainbows
And there ain’t no pot of gold
There’s no right side
When you look it's stars become cold

Hold your hand out
And there ain’t no hand to hold
And you wonder
How much your heart can ache

[Chorus:]
And you’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
Yea you got it in you yea

You’ve got questions
But nobody answers you
You’ve got problems yea
And no one to tell them to

Hold your head up
‘Cause that’s all that you can do
And you worry
When you’re gonna break

Only you can make up your mind
It don’t matter what the people say
You just what you do anyway
‘Cause it’s you at the end of the day

[Chorus:]
And you’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you
You’ve got it in you

Let Me Stay lyrics -

Are you cold?
Will you let me warm you?
Are you tired?
Will you lie next to me?

Don’t be scared
That I’ll leave you without warning
I’ve never cared this much, believe me
I’ll want you more by morning

You have lips
I could kiss for hours
I have time
I’m not going away

Please, just let me hold you
And love you like I told you
Baby, let me stay

You have lips
I could kiss for hours
I have time
I’m not going away

Please, just let me hold you
And love you like I told you
Baby, let me stay

Please, let me stay

S'pposed To Be lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
Just a nick of time before I'm home with you
Just a little while I'm on my way
I can see you smiling feel your love so true
Just a little pins on the paint

[Verse:]
When I think of heaven I see fields of gold
And angels singing softly just for me
It would be the sweetest thing that I'll behold
Stronger than my old magnolia tree

[Chorus:]
When I'm s'pposed to be
When I'm s'pposed to be
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be
Every road I travel leads me back to you
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be

[Verse:]
Got no time for hurrying I'll keep my pace
I don't care if people pass me by
Know my journey's over when I see your face
Loving arms and sprung on in your eyes

[Chorus:]
When I'm s'pposed to be
When I'm s'pposed to be
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be
Every road I travel leads me back to you
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be

[Verse:]
Just a nick of time before I'm home with you
Just a little time I'm on my way
I can see you smiling feel your love so true
Just a little pins on the paint

[Chorus:]
When I'm s'pposed to be
When I'm s'pposed to be
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be
Every road I travel leads me back to you
I'll be with you when I'm s'pposed to be

When I'm s'pposed to be [x4]
I'm with you
When I'm s'pposed to be [x4]
I'm with you
When I'm s'pposed to be [x4]
I'm with you

Time To Go lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

The curtain goes up
As the lights go dim
The opening act takes the stage
The applause is polite,
Tthey’re not waiting for him
Everybody knows he’s at least twice their age

Took him 2 days to get there
His eyes tired and red
His gear in the back of his way

His car is his dressing room
Office and bed
But at least he got him up here

Sings from his heart
And keeps from cryin
He knows it’s a young man’s game
He’s makin the reelin while the crowd’s all dyin to hear
The headliner’s name

And as he continues to play
He can hear the audience say

[Chorus:]
It’s time to go
This ain’t no variety show
We’re sure you was someone
Someone with note
But buddy, it’s time to go

As he packs his things he can hear from the winds
The audience singing along
They know every word
They know every line
And he wonders will he get one

As the stage door closes, goodbye
He sings what’s been on his mind

[Chorus:]
It’s time to go
This ain’t no variety show
We’re sure you was someone
Someone with note
But buddy, it’s time to go

Oh buddy, it’s time to go

You Love Me lyrics -

In your world,
I'm nothing
Just a raindrop in your sky,
But you make me feel like I'm everything
And I'm always gonna wonder why.

And you listen to me (and you listen to me)
And you hold me when I cry (and you hold me when I cry)
And you never say I'm complaining
When I feel like I just wanna die

You love me
You love me
Why? I'll never know (oh oh)
You love me
You love me
Please, don't ever go

You can see, the right side (and you see the right side)
And I always think I'm wrong (when I always think I'm wrong)
What makes you keep hanging on to me? (and you keep hanging on)
What makes you keep on moving strong? (and you keep moving strong)

You love me
You love me
Why? I'll never know (oh oh)
You love me
You love me
Please, don't ever go

You, you make me whole
You're the part of me that makes me wanna sing
You, you are my soul
You're the reason I can do anything

You love me
You love me
Why? I'll never know (oh oh)
You love me
You love me
Please, don't ever go

Yeah, you love me
You love me
Why? I'll never know (ohhh)
You love me
(Ohh) You love me
Please, don't ever go
Mmm please, don't ever go

"Smokey Mary" (2013)

Smokey Mary lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
She bought in the popper on her knees
And she rode to the bank said the embassy
A dime forever all the babies they ride for free
She told 'em she was looking for a boy
They left her in Chicago, Illinois
She forgot all about him when she found up river joy

[Chorus:]
Smokey Mary
That came into the park to train
Smokey Mary
Looking for the chu chu train

[Verse:]
It was a very sunny sunny afternoon
Jelly rose band was playing her favorite tune
Have a man named Jim and they dance until the moon
He left her at the station in the pouring rain
Then she asked him if she'd ever see him again
He said she could find him on the first of after maine

[Chorus:]
Smokey Mary
That came into the park to train
Smokey Mary
Looking for the chu chu train

[Bridge x2:]
Sometimes the dude gets the chuck in her head
Still smells of smoking on rose
With the ring on her finger when she lies on her bed
Still have her dance on her toes

He left her at the station in the pouring rain
Then she asked him if she'd ever see him again
He said she could find him on the first of after maine

[Chorus x3:]
Smokey Mary
That came into the park to train
Smokey Mary
Looking for the chu chu train

Hurricane lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Chorus:]
Hurricane, hurricane
Can't remember memory lane
Asked you once and I tell you the same
Hurricane, hurricane

[Verse:]
West end boulevard
Times were best when times were hard
Nick to big booted in my yard
Hurricane

We slept foot to head
Only one way to fit in bed
Got syrup thought I was dead
Hurricane

[Chorus x2:]
Hurricane, hurricane
Can't remember memory lane
Asked you once and I tell you the same
Hurricane, hurricane

[Verse:]
I thought it was a dream
Walking on still in my brain
You are the one that made me insane
Hurricane

Quarter over loop
Makes me hear pop zigga boo
Pop and fats and zally too
Hurricane

[Chorus:]
Hurricane, hurricane
Can't remember memory lane
Asked you once and I tell you the same
Hurricane, hurricane

Cuddina Done It lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
All have fell, chips were down
Deck was stacked against me
Ship has sunk I throw them crown
Life had up and fenced me

My chance was fat I knocked on wood
Sicken by the cherry
Fans see that I'm feeling good
Throwing my own mary

[Chorus:]
No, I cuddina done it without me

[Verse:]
I got sunshine in my shade
After that is raining
Try to buy my lemonade
Ain't no use complaining

Like you trap, you sabotage
Can't identify 'em
I sit by this heat barrage
Never justify 'em

[Chorus:]
No, I cuddina done it without me

[Bridge:]
I am like I was
Before I got like I is
Running around like an Oz with no wiz
I do what I do
And I do like I should
Put my money on the wood and let bed throw good

Cuddina done it [x8]

[Bridge:]
I am like I was
Before I got like I is
Running around like an Oz with no wiz
I do what I do
And I do like I should
Put my money on the wood and let bed throw good

[Verse:]
They too late, should've but
They was out to get me
Broke my fate when I pushed my lover
Fortune never met me

Got the dart back in my shot
Like Jon has got on Wizzy
Put the sack back in my pack
Now I'm back to greedy

[Chorus x3:]
No, I cuddina done it without me

Wish I Were Him lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
I'd jump in the river if I wasn't scared to drown
Wasn't scared to drown, wasn't scared to drown
I'd jump in the river if I wasn't scared to drown
But I'm scared of drowning so I stayed

[Verse:]
I'd walk through the fire if I wasn't scared to burn
Wasn't scared to burn, wasn't scared to burn
I'd walk through the fire if I wasn't scared to burn
But I'm scared of burning so I stayed

[Chorus:]
Wish I were him what's his problem we don't care
He don't see me when I stare he's not going anywhere
If I were him I would get so drive around
Just to light up on the sun, like a king I wouldn't crown
For all the love I found

[Verse:]
I looked in the mirror if I wasn't scared to cry
Wasn't scared to cry, wasn't scared to cry
I looked in the mirror if I wasn't scared to cry
But I'm scared of crying so I sing

[Chorus:]
Wish I were him what's his problem we don't care
He don't see me when I stare he's not going anywhere
If I were him I would get so drive around
Just to light up on the sun, like a king I wouldn't crown
For all the love I found

[Verse:]
I looked in the mirror if I wasn't scared to cry
Wasn't scared to cry, wasn't scared to cry
I looked in the mirror if I wasn't scared to cry
But I'm scared of crying so I sing

I'm scared of crying so I sing
I'm scared of something either way

S'pposed To Be lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

The Preacher lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
I should've done it better
Should've done it right
Should've played it looser
Or played it tight

[Verse:]
You shoot out an arrow
You should improvise
You should listen to me
Listen 'cause I'm wise

[Chorus:]
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day

[Verse:]
Should've done it my way
Would've come out fine
Bottle in your cup and
Should've followed mine

[Verse:]
Everyone goes running
Running when I call
I'm a one man army
So you know what up

[Chorus:]
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day

[Verse:]
It will come a day son
When I'm not around
Should've took a lesson
Should've wrote it down

[Verse:]
'Cause I rode a sparrow
And I will never stop
But you can't expect him
To see him running around town

[Chorus:]
Preach preacher
Save me before I drown
Teach preacher
Bring bring gavel down
Eat preacher
Always got alot to say
Preach preacher
Find a way to break my day

Dang You Pretty lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Who you know to get that pretty
Where you go to get that pretty
People fly to New York city
You can't try to look that pretty

Who can tell to get that fitted
The word you say to get that pretty
Southern gal you so pretty
Well oh well dang you pretty

Pretty baby if you're daddy's home
Ask him if he kindly maybe leave you alone
Pretty baby if you're mama's over
Ask the pretty lady if she brings you to town

Girl oh my, dang you pretty
Sweet like wine, dang you pretty
No desire, back on with it
On my mind, dang you pretty

Shake that ham dang you pretty
3 am you still pretty
Made me say tonight this did it
Girl I mean, dang you pretty

Little mama if you walk with me
I can show you things that you be begging to see
Little mama I'm in love with you
And I think of things that you want me to
'Cause I know

Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty
Dang dang dang dang dang you pretty

I said it before, and I'll say it again

Dang you pretty if I do say so

Dang you pretty did you hear me when
I said it before, and I'll say it again

Dang you pretty if I do say so
Dang you pretty if you needed to know
Dang you pretty did you hear me when
I said it before, and I'll say it again

Angola (At The Farm) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

At the farm Angola they got me on watch hall
Ain't got it on more you can cut along
Ain't got it off tractor you can call that tiller
But you can call that park up the view and the birds along

At the farm Angola they got on red hand
Then the boys got mad at 74
They told him that it might be good for Charlie Fraser
They cut the wings of the heels of the sand that their work was done

Angola at the farm
Angola at the farm

At the farm Angola you work on sunshine
At the farm Angola you work on frame
Perhaps and it got to be a fortune
And if you don't like it
You can take it up with Wally King

The farm Angola's on the Mississippi
The shortest journey the life would enjoy at the sun
We spend all day all night thinking of the city
But the chase is ready so man don't you try to run

Angola at the farm
Angola at the farm
Angola at the farm
Angola at the farm

Nola Girl lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

[Verse:]
Going towards the coz wave south of 59
Headed to the easy to see that girl of mine
She's a bit peculiar , sings a different tune
She took my soul and then she stole
The crescent from the moon

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I cannot go

[Verse:]
Make you play your cards right
Make you call a bluff
She won't let you see much
But you'll see enough

[Verse:]
Tell her maybe next time
Tell you maybe not
You don't dare forget to care
For the girl that care forgot

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I cannot go

[Bridge:]
It's like they crossed up Madonna
With the young Marie Laveau
She'll do anything you wanna
Beside of turning old

[Verse:]
Sometimes in the morning
Right before the sun
She had satisfied you
But she's far from done

[Verse:]
She put summer perfume
She'll dress and both your girl
Watch you go, you wouldn't know
She's someone else's girl

[Chorus:]
Nola girl what you do
Laying lies and then you turn them true
Nola girl how'd you know
Tried of leave I can never go

Mind On The Matter lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Mama told me not to try to be nobody
I listened to her
Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody
Looka here
Savin money's hard when you can't save your soul
I'll get through it
Tryin to dig myself out of this mighty hole
Listen to what I say
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right
I look down at my hands and
I see labor burns
It's a part of livin
Keepin my feet on the ground while the world turns
It's all on me
Got my mind on the matter
Sure as I tell ya
Now you know that's right

City Beneath The Sea lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Take me... Take me
To the city beneath the sea
The river will wrap around me
And the music will let me be
You can find me on the neutral ground
On the corner of Fleur-de-lis
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
Take me... Take me
Where the night outshines the day
You can hear the tap of soda caps
And smell the ©toufe©
You can fais do do with Jacamo
Or fi na ne 'till three
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
How... How long
Can I stay away
How... How long
Can I stay away
Take me... Take me
To the Meters and the Mardi Gras
They betcha where you got your shoes
And they eat their oysters raw
Pork Chops dances all night long
But he won't dance for free
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea

"Your Songs" (2009)

All The Way lyrics - Harry Connick Jr (feat. Branford Marsalis)

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes if it's real

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us?
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way, all the way

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years come what may

Who knows where the road will lead us?
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way, all the way

Just The Way You Are lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Don't go changing, to try and please me,
You never let me down before,
Don't imagine, you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.

I would not leave you, in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far,
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.

Don't go trying, some new fashion,
Don't change the color of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you, and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart,
I couldn't love you, any better,
I love you just the way you are.

Can't Help Falling In Love With You lyrics - Harry Connick Jr (feat. Wynton Marsalis)

Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

And I Love Her lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her

She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

(They Long To Be) Close To You lyrics - Harry Connick Jr (feat. Leroy Jones)

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.

Bésame Mucho lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
La última vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
Perderte después

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
La última vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
Perderte después

Quiero tenerte muy cerca
Mirarme en tus ojos
Verte junto a mi
Piensa que tal ves mañana
Yo ya estaré lejos
Muy lejos de ti

Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche
La última vez

Bésame, bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo a perderte
Perderte después

Besame besame mucho,
Each time I cling to your kiss
I hear music divine
Besame, besame mucho
Hold me my darling
Say that you'll always be mine

Oh this joy is something new
My arms enfolding you
I never knew this thrill before
Who ever thought I'd be
Holding you close to me
Whispering it's you I adore

So dearest one, if you should leave me
Then each little dream would take wing
And my life would be through.
Besame, besame mucho
Love me forever
Make all my dreams come true

The Way You Look Tonight lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow, just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Yes, you're lovely
With that smile so warm, and your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word, your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

(You're) lovely, never never change, keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it?
Because I love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word you tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

(You're) lovely, don't you ever change. Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
Because I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Oh, oh, just the way you look tonight.

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love

Your Song lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

Some Enchanted Evening lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger,
you may see a stranger
Across a crowded room
And somehow you know,
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again.

Some enchanted evening
Someone may be laughin',
You may hear her laughin'
Across a crowded room
And night after night,
As strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter
Will sing in your dreams.

Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons,
Wise men never try.

Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love,
When you feel her call you
Across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side,
And make her your own
Or all through your life you
May dream all alone.

Once you have found her,
Never let her go.
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!

And I Love You So lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

[CHORUS:]
And yes I know how lonely (loveless) life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my belief

[CHORUS]

Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Who can I turn to, when nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know, and so I must go where destiny leads me.
With no star to guide me, and no one beside me.
I'll go on my way and, after the day, the darkness will hide me.

And maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I'm after.
I'll throw out my sorrow, beg, steal, or borrow my share of laughter.
With you I could learn to, with you on a new day.
But who can I turn to, if you turn away?

Smile lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Smile tho' your heart is aching,
Smile
Even though it's breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by,
If you
Smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through- For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide ev'ry trace of sadness,
Altho' a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile- What's the use of crying,
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.

Mona Lisa lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Mona lisa, mona lisa, men have named you
Youre so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause youre lonely they have blamed you?
For that mona lisa strangeness in your smile?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa?
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Killing Me Softly lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her and listen for a while
And there she was this young girl
A stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life, with her words
Killing me softly with her song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life, with her words
Killing me softly with her song

She sang as if she knew me
In all my dark despair
And then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there
And she just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life, with her words
Killing me softly with her song

Who's Sorry Now lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Who's sorry now? Who's sorry now?
Whose heart is achin' for breakin' each vow?
Who's sad and blue, who's cryin' too?
Just like I cried over you

Right to the end, just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now

Right to the end, just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now

Answer Me My Love lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Answer me
Oh my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me sweetheart

You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me how I've gone astray
Please answer me my love

If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer

You must know that I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me my love

If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer

You must know that I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me my love
Answer me my love

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"

It's the hap -happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call

And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

There'll be parties for hosting

There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of

And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's The Most Wonderful Time

Holly Jolly Christmas lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Well I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

Ho ho the mistletoe
Hung where you can see
Somebody waits for you
Kiss her once for me

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh bygolly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear
Oh bygolly have a holly jolly Christmas
This year

Please Come Home For Christmas lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh what a christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone (my baby's gone) I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing silent night
Those christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for christmas (please come home)
Please come home for christmas (please come home)
If not for christmas by new year's night

Friends and relations send salutations
Just as sure as the stars shine above (yes they do)
This is christmas, christmas my dear
The time of year to be with the one that you love

Then won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and new year (christmas and new year's)
Will find you at home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief or pain
I'll be happy (happy) that it's christmas once again.

O Come All Ye Faithful lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

O Come All Ye Faithful
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,

O Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation,
Sing all that hear in heaven God's holy word.
Give to our Father glory in the Highest;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

All Hail! Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning,
O Jesus! for evermore be Thy name adored.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing;
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

Let There Be Peace On Earth lyrics - Harry Connick Jr (feat. Kim Burrell)

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
With peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.

Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten,
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in ev'ry store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door

A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev'rywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
One in the park as well
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart

Jingle Bells lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
We got into a drifted bank
And we all got upsot

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh yeah

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie
But quickly drove away

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack!
You'll take the lead

Zat You Santa Claus lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Gifts I'm preparin'
For some Christmas sharin'
But I pause because
Hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus

Sure is dark out
Not the slighest spark out
Pardon my clackin' jaws
Uh, who there
Who is it
Uh, stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus

Are you bringin' a present for me
Something pleasantly pleasant for me
That's what I've been waitin' for
Would you mind slippin' it under the door

Four winds are howlin'
Or maybe that be growlin'
My legs feel like straws
Oh my, my, me, my
Kindly would you reply
'Zat you, Santa Claus
Yeah

Oh hangin' my stockin'
I can hear a knockin'
'Zat you, Santa Claus

Yeah, say now
Hey there, who is it
Stoppin' for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus

Whoa there Santa you gave me a scare
Now stop teasin' 'cause I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shakin' this way

Well I see old Santa in the keyhole
I'll give to the cause
One peek and I'll try there
Uh-oh there's an eye there
'Zat you, Santa Claus

Please, please
I pity my knees
Say that's you Santa Claus
That's him alright

We Three Kings lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.

[Refrain:]
O star of wonder, star of light,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.

[Refrain]

Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, voices raising,
Worshipping God on high.

[Refrain]

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone cold tomb.

[Refrain]

Glorious now behold Him arise;
King and God and sacrifice;
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Sounds through the earth and skies.

[Refrain]

Song For The Hopeful lyrics - Harry Connick Jr (feat. Kim Burrell)

People with hope
Have a special prayer,
A louder drum,
A brighter flare.
This is a song for the hopeful.
May God hear it sung.

People with faith
Are the lucky kind.
They'll be the ones
With peace of mind.
This is a song for the faithful.
May God hear it sung.

There's a song for the doubtful.
There's a song for the lost.
There's a song for the desert
Barren, but crossed.
But for those who are strong of spirit,
Maybe they don't need to hear it.
But still, a song for them.
A simple song for them.

Nothing can shade
A seasoned soul.
It's all the loss
That makes it whole.
This is a song for the hopeful.
This is a song for the faithful.
This is a song for the hopeful.
May God hear it sung.
May God hear it sung.
May God hear it sung.

Auld Lang Syne lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes
And pou'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.

We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a right good willie-waught,,
For auld lang syne.

Deck The Halls lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

Christmas Time Is Here lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

O Christmas Tree lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!

Workin' in a coalmine goin' down down down
Workin' in a coalmine whew about to slip down

Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey? lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

On one summer's day,
The Sun was shinin' fine,
The lady love of old Bill Bailey
Was hangin' clothes on the line
In her back yard,
And weepin' hard.

She married a B&O brakeman
That took and throwed her down,
Bellerin' like a prune-fed calf
With a big gang hanging round
And to that crowd,
She hollered loud

[Chorus:]
Won't you come home, Bill Bailey
Won't you come home?
She moans the whole day long.
I'll do the cookin', darling
I'll pay the rent,
I know I've done you wrong;
'member that rainy eve that
I threw you out,
With nothing but a fine-tooth comb?
I know I'm to blame,
Well, ain't that a shame
Bill Bailey won't you please come home.

Bill drove by that door
In an automobile,
A great big diamond, coach and footman
Hear that lady squeal.
He's all alone
I heard her groan.

She hollered through the door
Bill Bailey, is you sore?
Stop a minute, listen to me
Won't I see you no more?
Bill winks his eye
As he heard her cry

[Chorus]

Something You Got lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Something you got
Makes me work all day
Something you got
Makes me bring home all my pay
Something you got
Say you ought to know now
Whoa, whoa, my, my
Whoa, you know I love you so

Something you got
Keep me home every night
Something you got
Makes everythin' all right
Something you got
Say you ought to know now
You ought to know now
Whoa, whoa, my, my
Whoa I love you so

Let Them Talk lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Let them talk if they want to
Talk don't bother me
I want the whole wide world to know
That I love you so

Let them whisper
For they know not what's
Between you and I
I'll keep on loving you
Until the day I die

They're tryin' to breakup our romance
But they don't have a chance
We have the kind of love
That's so strong
We'll be together from now on

Idle gossip comes from the devil's workshop
But true love will make it stop
I want the whole wide world to know
That I love you so

They're envious of ev'rything we do
But it's so wonderful (wonderful)
When you love some one (love someone)
When that someone loves you.

Jambalaya (On The Bayou) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Goodbye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh.
Me gotta go, pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file* gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin',
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen.
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh.
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I'll catch all the fish in the bayou.
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o.

Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file gumbo
'Cause tonight I'm gonna see my ma cher amio.
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gayo,
Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou.

Careless Love lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Love oh love careless love
Love oh love careless love
Love oh love oh careless love
See what careless love has done

Once I wore my apron low [3x]
I couldn't keep you from my door

What oh what will mama say [3x]
When she learns I've gone astray

I love my mama and papa too [3x]
See what I get for lovin' you

Now I wear my apron high [3x]
You pass my door you walk on by

Yes We Can Can lyrics - Harry Connick Jr

Now is the time

Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a piece within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Just remember you all have mothers
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give

I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money
Yes we can, I know we can can

Take care of the children
The children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give

I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, got your money
Yes we can, I know we can can
