She lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Lay a hand
Upon the water
Well within, well within
Wash away
To fair morrow
Ride ahead, ride ahead
Make your mark
Upon the rock
For another one
Ashes tell tales
Fire gives faith
Burn it up burn it up
Burn it up burn it up
She would waste not, not in struggle
No other shall there ever be
And what she is to love, listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
Don't you pray
Of a heartless town
Or you'll be forced to flee
Don't you live
In a soulless city
Or you'll have to leave
You don't need
No place of birth
Hither to come home
Many a night
Were you ready for your bed
But your bed not ready for you
She would give of herself
And ask not return or eternity
And what she'd offer, listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
And she'd hold not, of another man
No other shall there ever be
And whom she would hold
Listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
Upon the water
Well within, well within
Wash away
To fair morrow
Ride ahead, ride ahead
Make your mark
Upon the rock
For another one
Ashes tell tales
Fire gives faith
Burn it up burn it up
Burn it up burn it up
She would waste not, not in struggle
No other shall there ever be
And what she is to love, listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
Don't you pray
Of a heartless town
Or you'll be forced to flee
Don't you live
In a soulless city
Or you'll have to leave
You don't need
No place of birth
Hither to come home
Many a night
Were you ready for your bed
But your bed not ready for you
She would give of herself
And ask not return or eternity
And what she'd offer, listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
And she'd hold not, of another man
No other shall there ever be
And whom she would hold
Listen oh my brother
Is as the wind to mercury
Between Us lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Took a midnight train
Headed way back east
Left behind some pain
In hopes of finding some peace
Fortunately caught one
Bound for my old neighborhood
Either way, between us, it's good
They're building a bridge
Links Manhattan with the heartland
It's called the California ridge
The country needs to expand
Saw them lay the first stone
It was made of wood
Either way, between us, it's good
In an age of greys
When wrong won't become right
Let's life the haze
And scale the heights
set my shoulders straight
Took a deep breath
This meeting I anticipate
Unlike impending death
Strode on to the platform
And there you stood
At worst, between us, it's good
Headed way back east
Left behind some pain
In hopes of finding some peace
Fortunately caught one
Bound for my old neighborhood
Either way, between us, it's good
They're building a bridge
Links Manhattan with the heartland
It's called the California ridge
The country needs to expand
Saw them lay the first stone
It was made of wood
Either way, between us, it's good
In an age of greys
When wrong won't become right
Let's life the haze
And scale the heights
set my shoulders straight
Took a deep breath
This meeting I anticipate
Unlike impending death
Strode on to the platform
And there you stood
At worst, between us, it's good
Here Comes The Big Parade lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Step aside
Step aside
The krewe's gonna take a ride
Better stand behind the barricade
Here comes, here comes, here comes
The big parade
So make way
So make way
That's what the captain say
Down St. Charles and Esplanade
Here comes
The big parade
"Throw me somethin mister"
I wanna dance with your sister
Brass bands marchin by
Throwing notes to the sky
There goes
There goes
Second-liners and flambeaus
I'm feelin even better
Than the day was made
Here comes
Here comes
Here comes
The big parade
Step aside
The krewe's gonna take a ride
Better stand behind the barricade
Here comes, here comes, here comes
The big parade
So make way
So make way
That's what the captain say
Down St. Charles and Esplanade
Here comes
The big parade
"Throw me somethin mister"
I wanna dance with your sister
Brass bands marchin by
Throwing notes to the sky
There goes
There goes
Second-liners and flambeaus
I'm feelin even better
Than the day was made
Here comes
Here comes
Here comes
The big parade
Trouble lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
La Rouge lies awake at night
Doesn't sleep for days
Guess he's carryin somethin
The pillows can't take away
I feel just like him
'Cept for me it's double
Baby I got you, and you're
Trouble
Trouble
I used to not need nothin
Now trouble is all I need
Well Tessie loves excitement
Can make a dull moment a thrill
She does whatever she wants
Then puts it on my bill
But that ain't so expensive
Got it covered in my sleep
See dawlin' I got you
And baby you're
Trouble
Trouble
I used to not need nothin
Now trouble is all I need
I wouldn't bet against myself
In a poker game
Or build a house
In a hurricane
And lose everything I had
And spend the rest of my life gone mad
In a way it would be a relief
It really wouldn't be so bad
See dawlin' I got you and baby you're
Trouble
Trouble
I used to not need nothin
I used to not need nothin
I used to not need nothin
Now trouble is all I need
Doesn't sleep for days
Guess he's carryin somethin
The pillows can't take away
I feel just like him
'Cept for me it's double
Baby I got you, and you're
Trouble
Trouble
I used to not need nothin
Now trouble is all I need
Well Tessie loves excitement
Can make a dull moment a thrill
She does whatever she wants
Then puts it on my bill
But that ain't so expensive
Got it covered in my sleep
See dawlin' I got you
And baby you're
Trouble
Trouble
I used to not need nothin
Now trouble is all I need
I wouldn't bet against myself
In a poker game
Or build a house
In a hurricane
And lose everything I had
And spend the rest of my life gone mad
In a way it would be a relief
It really wouldn't be so bad
See dawlin' I got you and baby you're
Trouble
Trouble
I used to not need nothin
I used to not need nothin
I used to not need nothin
Now trouble is all I need
(I Could Only) Whisper Your Name lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Somebody was spreading rumors
'Bout better days a comin
Why was I hummin
As if I knew
One and the same
But I just whispered your name
Somebody was sayin something
'Bout there being an end to tyranny
But when they asked me
What would I do...
If that day came
I only whispered your name
Everyone got their own opinion
And protects their own dominion
No doubt for them it's true
But I tell them what I really believe
My only worry is protecting you
No one should ever be lonely
We'd all find somebody to care
Ask me if I dare
To answer who...
Could carry that flame
I'd just whisper your name
'Bout better days a comin
Why was I hummin
As if I knew
One and the same
But I just whispered your name
Somebody was sayin something
'Bout there being an end to tyranny
But when they asked me
What would I do...
If that day came
I only whispered your name
Everyone got their own opinion
And protects their own dominion
No doubt for them it's true
But I tell them what I really believe
My only worry is protecting you
No one should ever be lonely
We'd all find somebody to care
Ask me if I dare
To answer who...
Could carry that flame
I'd just whisper your name
Follow The Music lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
They tried to conquer the world with guns
Like a horde of Huns
That had to be removed
We used a secret weapon
We did it with a groove
They tried to conquer the world with administration
And make one nation
But then they had to move
We made us a home
Built on a groove
They tried to conquer the world with kindness
And blind open-mindedness
Like they had something to prove
They're on their own
Amen, we got the groove
They tried to conquer the world and call it art
So did Bonaparte
Now he hangs in the Louvre
It's not a museum piece
This is the groove
Like a horde of Huns
That had to be removed
We used a secret weapon
We did it with a groove
They tried to conquer the world with administration
And make one nation
But then they had to move
We made us a home
Built on a groove
They tried to conquer the world with kindness
And blind open-mindedness
Like they had something to prove
They're on their own
Amen, we got the groove
They tried to conquer the world and call it art
So did Bonaparte
Now he hangs in the Louvre
It's not a museum piece
This is the groove
To Love The Language lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I is just what I was
And am ain't who I be
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
Ax' ya "x" what talks in tongues
Say: "never mo' neither me"
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
Stayin by my mama's
In slippers and pajamas
Where there's always somethin good to eat
Bettin strawberries
Honey and cherries
And pecan-pies oh so sweet
With a dew-rag on my brow
Jasmine, wysteria and fleur-de-lis
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
If you won't work fo' a livin
And live life leisurely
Pull up a screen po-ch
Flop out in a rockin chair
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
Honestly Now (Safety's Just Danger... Out Of Place) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Honestly now...
Either you stand for something
Or you get knocked down for nothing
Sister don't ache too soon
I thought it was understood
By everyone in this room
Who'd ever come up short or won a race
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Truly now...
People play tricks of the mind
Shadows only follow behind
Sister stay still
I thought it was the nature
Of all on Malvern's Hill
Who'd taken a lead off third base
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Honestly now...
If fate were to follow fortune
And clarity trail distortion
Sister on alert
Pay close attention
To fingerprints in the dust
And fallen feet that leave no trace
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Sincerely now...
I requested information
At a roadside station
Sister it seems absurd
To be hammering pith
LIke a poet with a loss for words
Trying to describe an angel's face
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Honestly now...
Wholly in demand
Coming off second hand
Sister don't unravel
When there's nowhere to go
Except lawless travel
And an end to infinity's space
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Either you stand for something
Or you get knocked down for nothing
Sister don't ache too soon
I thought it was understood
By everyone in this room
Who'd ever come up short or won a race
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Truly now...
People play tricks of the mind
Shadows only follow behind
Sister stay still
I thought it was the nature
Of all on Malvern's Hill
Who'd taken a lead off third base
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Honestly now...
If fate were to follow fortune
And clarity trail distortion
Sister on alert
Pay close attention
To fingerprints in the dust
And fallen feet that leave no trace
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Sincerely now...
I requested information
At a roadside station
Sister it seems absurd
To be hammering pith
LIke a poet with a loss for words
Trying to describe an angel's face
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
Honestly now...
Wholly in demand
Coming off second hand
Sister don't unravel
When there's nowhere to go
Except lawless travel
And an end to infinity's space
Safety's just danger
...Out of place
She... Blessed Be The One lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Blessed be the one
Who needeth tongue
To uncoil her speech
Blessed be the one
Who commandeth silence
Water be still, be still
Blessed be the one
Who hath time
And nay opressing need
Blessed be thine
Kings and queens
Be they born of thee
Blessed be the one
Blessed be the one
Blessed be the one
Who needeth tongue
To uncoil her speech
Blessed be the one
Who commandeth silence
Water be still, be still
Blessed be the one
Who hath time
And nay opressing need
Blessed be thine
Kings and queens
Be they born of thee
Blessed be the one
Blessed be the one
Blessed be the one
Follow The Music Further lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
They tried to conquer the world with science
And medieval self-reliance
Neither of which behoove
All that's of concern
Is a groove
They tried to conquer the world with blinding flash
Instead reduced it to a solitary ash
While trying to improve
On a ray of light
And a grip on the groove
And medieval self-reliance
Neither of which behoove
All that's of concern
Is a groove
They tried to conquer the world with blinding flash
Instead reduced it to a solitary ash
While trying to improve
On a ray of light
And a grip on the groove
That Party lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Went to a little get-together
With some old friends
Not much has changed
Since the last time I saw them
There's a chicken in uniform
Wooden leg and a matchstick arm
Saying: "left my wing back on the farm
...Tried the buffet..."
Tiny took a turn on steel guitar
After he got a fresh feel for the bar
Lines drawn of jelly-fish caviar
...Saying: "wanna jamm???"
I don't like throwing
Parties like that
But I love going
They said no guests
So I thought of you
Hey mama, it's on
A disconcerted youth with a gun
Wants to shoot-up some fun
Saying: "I'm failing science and math
But I'm head of the class in murder one"
Balance sheets unpresarioed ballets
And advertised for run-a-ways
That only dance on holidays
...When crutches cut in...
Willa was disenchanted
Tossed her garter and demanded
"Nothing can be recanted
...If it was nothing to begin with..."
A magician did card tricks
For a bunch of well-heeled hicks
And held up a red six
...One said: "that's a black seven..."
I don't like throwing
Parties like that
But I love going
They said no guests
So I thought of you
Hey mama, it's on
A disconcerted youth with a gun
That semi-precious son
He needs to learn if you take a life
You ain't got none
Cracked pelicans rode magnolias
Sent advice to rebel soldiers
That all ended with: "I told ya's
...So then why do you ask???..."
You can tell it's getting late
When Cal calls himself Kate
And peons hire potentates
...Saying: "when you finish
Trim the hedges..."
I'm making a hurried get-a-way
Down Santa Monica, out of L.A.
If you like it so much stay
...There's a theme park in the mix...
I don't like throwing
Parties like that
But I love going
They said no guests
So I thought of you
Hey mama, it's on
With some old friends
Not much has changed
Since the last time I saw them
There's a chicken in uniform
Wooden leg and a matchstick arm
Saying: "left my wing back on the farm

Booker lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
And the warden said
"He won't need a cell
He has the key
There's no harsher sentence
The man's doin life
In the first degree"
Some people seek to set blame
Some just accept their part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
And the priest said
"I can take confession
But not the sin
The church is shelter
Not the faith
Son, that's within"
Some people pray for fortune and fame
Some just play a part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
And the doctor said
"I can see you're hurt
Just by lookin at you
Pain we can help
But for hurt
There's nothin we can do"
Some people pick up the pieces
Some just leave them apart
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
"He won't need a cell
He has the key
There's no harsher sentence
The man's doin life
In the first degree"
Some people seek to set blame
Some just accept their part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
And the priest said
"I can take confession
But not the sin
The church is shelter
Not the faith
Son, that's within"
Some people pray for fortune and fame
Some just play a part
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
And the doctor said
"I can see you're hurt
Just by lookin at you
Pain we can help
But for hurt
There's nothin we can do"
Some people pick up the pieces
Some just leave them apart
And now you know why
Booker died of a broken heart
Sleigh Ride lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "You Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "You Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
Pop! Pop! Pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives
When My Heart Finds Christmas lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
In my eyes are valentines
And Easter eggs and New Year's wine
But when my heart finds Christmas
My eyes will shine like new
All the days are kind to me
But fall too far behind to see
But when my heart finds Christmas
I hope it finds you too
Let the angels sing around us
Christmas time is here
Let our children's love surround us
Laughing and filled with cheer
My heart told me once before
To find my dream and search no more
And when my heart finds Christmas
I hope it finds you too
And Easter eggs and New Year's wine
But when my heart finds Christmas
My eyes will shine like new
All the days are kind to me
But fall too far behind to see
But when my heart finds Christmas
I hope it finds you too
Let the angels sing around us
Christmas time is here
Let our children's love surround us
Laughing and filled with cheer
My heart told me once before
To find my dream and search no more
And when my heart finds Christmas
I hope it finds you too
(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I think I saw ol' Santa through my window Christmas eve
My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe
It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat
And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that
And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door
The same ol' Christmas trick my dad had played since I was four
He stands outside my bedroom yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus
I think my daddy sees me
Peeking from my door
But he pretends he's Santa anyway
Every year he tries to fool me
But I'm a big boy now I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh...
No way!
So I went back to bed and I curled up nice and tight
I stared out my window and looked into the night
And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see
Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me
[Chorus:]
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you
Then I heard ol' Rudolph tellin' me to come outside
He told me that ol' Santa wanted me to take a ride
I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh
Then ol' Santa took me up up and away
We flew high above the rooftops of my sleepy town below
I saw my big red school house and the town square picture show
It was really past my bedtime and so ol' Santa said
"Little boys like you should be in bed"
So I hollered "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
And I put on Santa's hat
Then he let me hold the reins awhile
We pulled up to my window
And I jumped back in my room
And I waved goodbye to Santa with a smile
When I woke up Christmas morning it was clear and bright
My parents said my window had blown open in the night
I smiled as I told them that it must've been the cat
And they asked me where I got my big red hat
[Chorus]
My eyes were really droopy but I really do believe
It must've been ol' Santa 'cause I saw his big red hat
And I know my mom and dad can't fly like that
And then I heard some footsteps in the hall outside my door
The same ol' Christmas trick my dad had played since I was four
He stands outside my bedroom yelling "Ho! Ho! Ho!" because
He knows I don't believe in Santa Claus
I think my daddy sees me
Peeking from my door
But he pretends he's Santa anyway
Every year he tries to fool me
But I'm a big boy now I don't believe in Santa or his sleigh...
No way!
So I went back to bed and I curled up nice and tight
I stared out my window and looked into the night
And then, all of a sudden, through my window I could see
Santa Claus was flying by and smiling at me
[Chorus:]
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
It must've been ol' Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Happy "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to you
Then I heard ol' Rudolph tellin' me to come outside
He told me that ol' Santa wanted me to take a ride
I climbed out of my window and I jumped onto his sleigh

The Blessed Dawn Of Christmas Day lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
The blessed dawn of Christmas day
As honestly as children pray
The warmth that melts the eve away
The holiness of alpenglow
I rose to join the glorious morn
Whose calm and splendor would adorn
The virgin mother's infant born
The blessed dawn of Christmas day
I pray one day my heart will see
The light of God's eternity
And know that Jesus died for me
Now close, my eyes
So I may rise
At blessed dawn of Christmas day
As honestly as children pray
The warmth that melts the eve away
The holiness of alpenglow
I rose to join the glorious morn
Whose calm and splendor would adorn
The virgin mother's infant born
The blessed dawn of Christmas day
I pray one day my heart will see
The light of God's eternity
And know that Jesus died for me
Now close, my eyes
So I may rise
At blessed dawn of Christmas day
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
The Little Drummer Boy lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Little baby
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give to our King
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum
Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum
Pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see
Pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
So to honor Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come
Little baby
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give to our King
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum
Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum
Then He smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly
The clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun
The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum
Oh, here they come
Cries everyone
Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonet's flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each little pretty maid
Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly
The clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun
The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum
Oh, here they come
Cries everyone
Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonet's flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each little pretty maid
Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade
What Child Is This? lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard
And angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping
This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard
And angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him laud
The babe, the son of Mary
Raise, raise the song on high
The Virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary
Christmas Dreaming lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I'm doing my christmas dreaming
A little early this year
No sign of snow around
And yet I go around
Hearing jingle bells ringing in my ear
Your promise must be the reason
The happy season is here
So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming
A little early this year
So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming
A little early this year
A little early this year
No sign of snow around
And yet I go around
Hearing jingle bells ringing in my ear
Your promise must be the reason
The happy season is here
So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming
A little early this year
So I'm doing my Christmas dreaming
A little early this year

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Hey Kids!
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"
Then how the reindeers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history"
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"
Then how the reindeers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history"
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"
Then how the reindeers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history"
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight"
Then how the reindeers loved him
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history"
O Holy Night lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
O holy night the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pinning
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from Orient land
The King of King's lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need
Our weakness no stranger
Behold your King
Before Him lowly bend
Behold your King before Him lowly bend
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord
Oh praise His name forever
His pow'r and glory
Ever more proclaim
His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pinning
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from Orient land
The King of King's lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
He knows our need
Our weakness no stranger
Behold your King
Before Him lowly bend
Behold your King before Him lowly bend
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall he break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord
Oh praise His name forever
His pow'r and glory
Ever more proclaim
His pow'r and glory ever more proclaim
What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Maybe it's much too early in the game
But I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received
But in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?
But I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received
But in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?

Stardust lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
Steals across the meadow of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now a stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
On The Street Where You Live lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second
You may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here
On the street where you live
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know
Somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second
You may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here
On the street where you live
I'm An Old Cowhand (From The Rio Grande) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Oh, step aside, y'all ornery tenderfeet
Cause I'm about to sing my song
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tan
Well I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to startin now
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
Well I'm a ridin fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Look out, I'm gonna show y'all how to ride now
Here we go
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the radio
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Now my story's almost done, so listen up!
You ain't got much longer now
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
Where the west is wild round the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
And the indian make you a rug or two
And the old Bar-X is the Bar-be-cue
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
I'm just an old cowhand...
Cause I'm about to sing my song
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tan
Well I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to startin now
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride before I learned to stand
Well I'm a ridin fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Look out, I'm gonna show y'all how to ride now
Here we go
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I come to town just to hear the band
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the radio
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
Now my story's almost done, so listen up!
You ain't got much longer now
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
Where the west is wild round the borderland
Where the buffalo roam around the zoo
And the indian make you a rug or two
And the old Bar-X is the Bar-be-cue
Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ay
I'm just an old cowhand...
Tangerine lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
South American stories tell of a girl who's quite a dream
The beauty of her race
Though you'll doubt all the stories and think the tales are just a bit extreme
Wait till you see her face
Ooh, Tangerine, she is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine, when she dances by
Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she's got them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine
The beauty of her race
Though you'll doubt all the stories and think the tales are just a bit extreme
Wait till you see her face
Ooh, Tangerine, she is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine, when she dances by
Senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she's got them all on the run
But her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine
Didn't He Ramble lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down
He rambled through the city
He rambled through the street
Little ol lady pass him said
"Look at the market meat!"
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down
He rambled through the city
He rambled through the street
Little ol lady pass him said
"Look at the market meat!"
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled till the butcher cut him down
Lazybones lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the new day's sun
Lazybones, sleepin in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You'll never get your cornmeal made
Just sleepin in the evenin shade
When 'taters need spraying I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin, I bet you keep wishin
The fish won't grab your line
Lazybones, loafing through the day
How you 'spect to get a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say
How you 'spect to get your day's work done?
Never get your day's work done
Sleeping in the new day's sun
Lazybones, sleepin in the shade
How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made?
You'll never get your cornmeal made
Just sleepin in the evenin shade
When 'taters need spraying I bet you keep praying
The bugs fall off the vine
And when you go fishin, I bet you keep wishin
The fish won't grab your line
Lazybones, loafing through the day
How you 'spect to get a dime that way?
Never make a dime that way
Never heard a word I say
This Time The Dream's On Me lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Somewhere, someday
We'll be close together, wait and see
Oh, by the way, this time the dream's on me
You'll take my hand
And you'll look at me adoringly
But as things stand, this time the dream's on me
It would be fun to be certain that I'm the one
To know that I at least supply the shoulder you cry upon
To see you through till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true, but this time the dream's on me
We'll be close together, wait and see
Oh, by the way, this time the dream's on me
You'll take my hand
And you'll look at me adoringly
But as things stand, this time the dream's on me
It would be fun to be certain that I'm the one
To know that I at least supply the shoulder you cry upon
To see you through till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true, but this time the dream's on me
On The Atchison, Topeka And The Santa Fe lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Do you hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's engine number forty-nine
She's the only one that'll sound that way
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
See the old smoke risin 'round the bend
I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
Folks around these parts get the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
Here she comes
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hey Jim, you'd better get the rig
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big
And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
'Cause of lots of them been travelin for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelphia
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
I figure that it's engine number forty-nine
She's the only one that'll sound that way
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
See the old smoke risin 'round the bend
I reckon that she knows she's gonna meet a friend
Folks around these parts get the time of day
From the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
Here she comes
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hey Jim, you'd better get the rig
Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
She's got a list of passengers that's pretty big
And they'll all want lifts to Brown's Hotel
'Cause of lots of them been travelin for quite a spell
All the way from Philadelphia
On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe
Blue Light, Red Light (Someone's There) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I live in a tiny closet
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
A mouse, a hole, and a trap
I don't worry about the flights
Or count the stairs
'Cause I know
Someone's there
I took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there's clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don't worry about the ride
Or the subway fare
'Cause I know
Someone's there
One day we'll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on a tree
We'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level
Or if the ceiling falls in
Haunted by the devil
And ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned
Why should I care
No place I'd go alone would compare
'Cause I know
You're there
A lukewarm cold water flat
With room for a couple of cinders
A mouse, a hole, and a trap
I don't worry about the flights
Or count the stairs
'Cause I know
Someone's there
I took a high paying sweeping-up job
Dusting after somebody else
Seeing that there's clean on the windows
Convincing the snow to melt
I don't worry about the ride
Or the subway fare
'Cause I know
Someone's there
One day we'll move uptown
Or even out to the country side
And for every leaf on a tree
We'll add one cub to the pride
Who cares if the floor ain't level
Or if the ceiling falls in
Haunted by the devil
And ghosts and boogeymen
I can't be concerned
Why should I care
No place I'd go alone would compare
'Cause I know
You're there
A Blessing And A Curse lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I forget what happens on the Fourth of July
Or when the rent is due
Dates and deadlines just float by
But I always remember you
What Colombus set out to discover
Isabelle already knew
There'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers
But I always remember you
If I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In Beethoven's fifth
Why, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you
Or when the rent is due
Dates and deadlines just float by
But I always remember you
What Colombus set out to discover
Isabelle already knew
There'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers
But I always remember you
If I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In Beethoven's fifth
Why, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you
You Didn't Know Me When lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
There's a few things I haven't told you
And before you hear them from someone else
To clear up misconceptions
I'd rather tell you myself
There was a time
I rode a roller coaster
From Coney Island to Key West
I held on with one finger
So the other ten could rest
It may be hard to believe
Hard to comprehend
But baby, you didn't know me when
I played third chair trombone
In an out-of-work polka band
We looked for gigs on ships
In countries that had no land
It may be hard to believe
We hit the top ten
But baby, you didn't know me when
If you want a resume I'll put it in writing
It's only good for a day and the contents are frightening
I gave long-winded speeches
I was a head-of-state
I wrote an endless novel
Called See Jane Love And Hate
It may be hard to believe
I'm reticent
But baby, you didn't know me when
And before you hear them from someone else
To clear up misconceptions
I'd rather tell you myself
There was a time
I rode a roller coaster
From Coney Island to Key West
I held on with one finger
So the other ten could rest
It may be hard to believe
Hard to comprehend
But baby, you didn't know me when
I played third chair trombone
In an out-of-work polka band
We looked for gigs on ships
In countries that had no land
It may be hard to believe
We hit the top ten
But baby, you didn't know me when
If you want a resume I'll put it in writing
It's only good for a day and the contents are frightening
I gave long-winded speeches
I was a head-of-state
I wrote an endless novel
Called See Jane Love And Hate
It may be hard to believe
I'm reticent
But baby, you didn't know me when
Jill lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I know a girl
Who says she loves me
She says she needs me
And I have reason to believe her
Good reason
Like when we kiss
My eyes won't open
My heart won't listen
And I don't have a word to say
No, not a word
Look, my darling
And you'll hear me sing "I love you"
With my eyes
Let me hold you
Really hold you
Then you'll know my heart
Just can't tell lies
It knows a true love
It knows it's you, love
And it knows that you say
You love me
And I say I love you, too
Who says she loves me
She says she needs me
And I have reason to believe her
Good reason
Like when we kiss
My eyes won't open
My heart won't listen
And I don't have a word to say
No, not a word
Look, my darling
And you'll hear me sing "I love you"
With my eyes
Let me hold you
Really hold you
Then you'll know my heart
Just can't tell lies
It knows a true love
It knows it's you, love
And it knows that you say
You love me
And I say I love you, too
He Is They Are lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
He is good
They are happy
He is strong
They are secure
He is right
They are unquestioning
He is wrong
They are demure
When she left
He was tortured
She was gone
They were confused
He was forgetful
They were supportive
He was funny
They were amused
He did things that only superman could do
Things that sis and I could not believe were true
He is older
They are loving
He is hardened
They are grown
He is needing
They are giving
He is glad they are his own
They are happy
He is strong
They are secure
He is right
They are unquestioning
He is wrong
They are demure
When she left
He was tortured
She was gone
They were confused
He was forgetful
They were supportive
He was funny
They were amused
He did things that only superman could do
Things that sis and I could not believe were true
He is older
They are loving
He is hardened
They are grown
He is needing
They are giving
He is glad they are his own
With Imagination (I'll Get There) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I've travelled many a mile
And I haven't found a home
I've travelled many a mile
And one seed's unsown
I'll travel another mile
'Til I finally find my own
With imagination
I'll get there
I started with a dream
But came to a decision
I started with a dream
But now I have a mission
I have a goal
To see beyond my vision
With imagination
I'll get there
I've got to be strong [Shannon]
To climb the next hill
I've got to be strong [Russell]
My fate to fulfill
And from a strength [Leroy]
Stronger than my will
With imagination
I'll get there
In my father's house
No harsh words are spoken
In my father's house
No vows are broken
In a holy place
My sould like beams oaken
With imagination
I'll get there
When weary is your world
Go and spin another
When weary is your world
There's heaven to discover
Here on earth
We're sister and brother
With imagination
We'll get there
And if I stand alone
To my cause I'm loyal
If I stand alone
Either common or royal
I'm not afraid
To cross their sea of toil
With imagination
I'll get there
With imagination
I'll get there
With imagination
I'll get there
And I haven't found a home
I've travelled many a mile
And one seed's unsown
I'll travel another mile
'Til I finally find my own
With imagination
I'll get there
I started with a dream
But came to a decision
I started with a dream
But now I have a mission
I have a goal
To see beyond my vision
With imagination
I'll get there
I've got to be strong [Shannon]
To climb the next hill
I've got to be strong [Russell]
My fate to fulfill
And from a strength [Leroy]
Stronger than my will
With imagination
I'll get there
In my father's house
No harsh words are spoken
In my father's house
No vows are broken
In a holy place
My sould like beams oaken
With imagination
I'll get there
When weary is your world
Go and spin another
When weary is your world
There's heaven to discover
Here on earth
We're sister and brother
With imagination
We'll get there
And if I stand alone
To my cause I'm loyal
If I stand alone
Either common or royal
I'm not afraid
To cross their sea of toil
With imagination
I'll get there
With imagination
I'll get there
With imagination
I'll get there
If I Could Give You More lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
If I could give you more
I'd fill the house with flowers
Let you sleep for hours
Throw open the windows and unlock the doors
If I could give you more
If I could give you more
I'd make the streets safe
For every homeless waif
That wanders alone to a foreign shore
If I could give you more
See that you are sainted
Remain true and pure
So that you never get lost
No matter what you may endure
If I could give you more
I'd hand the world a phrase
That could not be erased
And tells of a love that's never been before
Oh, I will give you more
I'd fill the house with flowers
Let you sleep for hours
Throw open the windows and unlock the doors
If I could give you more
If I could give you more
I'd make the streets safe
For every homeless waif
That wanders alone to a foreign shore
If I could give you more
See that you are sainted
Remain true and pure
So that you never get lost
No matter what you may endure
If I could give you more
I'd hand the world a phrase
That could not be erased
And tells of a love that's never been before
Oh, I will give you more
The Last Payday lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Danny was an old-time Bourbon Street barker
Who wanted the same as Charlie Parker
And always cued-up a ball
Thinking he was one rack away
But even when you run the table
The check still seems small
When it's your last payday
The shallow pocket changer
Who always took advantage of strangers
Tried to make a five-grand grab
With a split second getaway
But he forgot that a bag of money
Ain't worth much on a slab
When it's your last payday
That line about luck just can't be bought
You're always lucky 'til you get caught
Trouble will find you, no need to look
And luck won't help when they close the book
I know a lot of young fellas in here
Especially those on the highest tier
Still want to believe
That Santa comes in a sleigh
They're right about the long white beard
But wrong about Christmas Eve
What's Christmas, when it's your last payday
Who wanted the same as Charlie Parker
And always cued-up a ball
Thinking he was one rack away
But even when you run the table
The check still seems small
When it's your last payday
The shallow pocket changer
Who always took advantage of strangers
Tried to make a five-grand grab
With a split second getaway
But he forgot that a bag of money
Ain't worth much on a slab
When it's your last payday
That line about luck just can't be bought
You're always lucky 'til you get caught
Trouble will find you, no need to look
And luck won't help when they close the book
I know a lot of young fellas in here
Especially those on the highest tier
Still want to believe
That Santa comes in a sleigh
They're right about the long white beard
But wrong about Christmas Eve
What's Christmas, when it's your last payday
It's Time lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
It's time to admit you love me
The flush of your cheek betrays
I hear a sigh in your voice
Your every word conveys
It's time to admit you love me
I feel the weight of your gaze
The smile that's mine alone
Your starry eyes sparkle ablaze
It's such a simple thing
How hard can it be
These few words
Endear you to me
It's time to admit I love you
And lift the worry from your brow
Rest your head upon my shoulder
There's nothing to be afraid of now
The flush of your cheek betrays
I hear a sigh in your voice
Your every word conveys
It's time to admit you love me
I feel the weight of your gaze
The smile that's mine alone
Your starry eyes sparkle ablaze
It's such a simple thing
How hard can it be
These few words
Endear you to me
It's time to admit I love you
And lift the worry from your brow
Rest your head upon my shoulder
There's nothing to be afraid of now
She Belongs To Me lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I met her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
I just wanted someone I could sing to
Who'd listen to every song
Oh, I just wanted someone I could cling to
Cling to all night long
So I kissed her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
And when I felt her lips I skipped a heartbeat
'Cause I was so in love with this girl
Oh, and how many times does your heart meet
The most beautiful girl in the world
So I thought and thought about her
I just couldn't stop thinking about her
And I died when she called me up and said
She couldn't stop thinking about me
Now I love her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
Now guys are calling wanting to be boyfriends
But they're going to have to answer to me
Oh, 'cause I'm going to tell all those toy friends
That she belongs to me
She'd belong to me
I just wanted someone I could sing to
Who'd listen to every song
Oh, I just wanted someone I could cling to
Cling to all night long
So I kissed her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
And when I felt her lips I skipped a heartbeat
'Cause I was so in love with this girl
Oh, and how many times does your heart meet
The most beautiful girl in the world
So I thought and thought about her
I just couldn't stop thinking about her
And I died when she called me up and said
She couldn't stop thinking about me
Now I love her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
Now guys are calling wanting to be boyfriends
But they're going to have to answer to me
Oh, 'cause I'm going to tell all those toy friends
That she belongs to me
Sonny Cried lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I cried all night for Sonny
'Til my eyes were dry
'Til the oceans overflowed
And the Red Sea turned blue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
I cried all night for Sonny
We shook hands and said goodbye
His face was etched with sorrow
His heart without a hue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
When you try and love two people
You can't love either one
'Cause after a while you'll have to choose
Or else love self denial
I stayed all night with Sonny
Like there'd never be another day
Go on and sleep 'til sunset
And I'll watch over you
I cried all night for Sonny
I know he was crying, too
'Til my eyes were dry
'Til the oceans overflowed
And the Red Sea turned blue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
I cried all night for Sonny
We shook hands and said goodbye
His face was etched with sorrow
His heart without a hue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too
When you try and love two people
You can't love either one
'Cause after a while you'll have to choose
Or else love self denial
I stayed all night with Sonny
Like there'd never be another day
Go on and sleep 'til sunset
And I'll watch over you
I cried all night for Sonny
I know he was crying, too
Just Kiss Me lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Just kiss me
And forget all about that other stuff
Kiss me
Your big red lips, I think, will be enough
Don't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anyway
My Lips Are Your Color
So Lips, Stick With Me!
Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me
Kiss me
And I'll take your lips to paradise
Kiss me
And paradise will never feel so nice
You're beautiful
You don't need all that make up
And you don't need to take up
All of your time in front of the mirror
Don't you know that you're my deara
Baby, can't you see we're in love
Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me
Kiss me
And put all the stars back in the sky
Kiss me
And maybe then you'll know the reason why
I want you
And my love's gonna haunt you
And I'm gonna flaunt you
In front of all the boys that live on my street
And they're gonna be jealous 'cause you're so sweet
Do you think I should repeat
Do you think I should repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Aw, say it, man!
I'm in love
Love
I'm in love
I'm in love
Sweet love
And forget all about that other stuff
Kiss me
Your big red lips, I think, will be enough
Don't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anyway
My Lips Are Your Color
So Lips, Stick With Me!
Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me
Kiss me
And I'll take your lips to paradise
Kiss me
And paradise will never feel so nice
You're beautiful
You don't need all that make up
And you don't need to take up
All of your time in front of the mirror
Don't you know that you're my deara
Baby, can't you see we're in love
Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me
Kiss me
And put all the stars back in the sky
Kiss me
And maybe then you'll know the reason why
I want you
And my love's gonna haunt you
And I'm gonna flaunt you
In front of all the boys that live on my street
And they're gonna be jealous 'cause you're so sweet
Do you think I should repeat
Do you think I should repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Aw, say it, man!
I'm in love
Love
I'm in love
I'm in love
Sweet love
We Are In Love lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I know you so well
I can tell by the sound of your voice
If you're really in love with me
And you are
You are
You know I can't lie
If I say to you 'baby, I love you'
Then baby, I love you
And I do
I do
I do... could it be that's the
Phrase you thought never would phase you
Well baby, you better hold on tight
'Cause I'm the one who's supposed to
Kneel down and propose, well alright
I might, I might
So, when I kiss you good-night
Just sleep tight with the thought that you'll
Always be caught up in love with me
And you'll dream that the stars up above
Have the answer of whether we'll be
Or whether we won't be
In love...
Well, we are,
We are
I can tell by the sound of your voice
If you're really in love with me
And you are
You are
You know I can't lie
If I say to you 'baby, I love you'
Then baby, I love you
And I do
I do
I do... could it be that's the
Phrase you thought never would phase you
Well baby, you better hold on tight
'Cause I'm the one who's supposed to
Kneel down and propose, well alright
I might, I might
So, when I kiss you good-night
Just sleep tight with the thought that you'll
Always be caught up in love with me
And you'll dream that the stars up above
Have the answer of whether we'll be
Or whether we won't be
In love...
Well, we are,
We are
Only 'Cause I Don't Have You lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Turn off the music
Take down the signs
Pack up the boxes
Put away the wine
No toast for the future
No reward for the find
If looks could kill
This mirror would do
Only 'cause I don't have you
Don't bother with ovations
Leave off the fanfare
Let the candles melt down
Till the smoke's all that's there
Leave the veil in place
A tear, la mer
I could say it was nothing
Now that there's nothing new
Only 'cause I don't have you
Not built on a wisp or whim
Twist an arm, break a leg
Tear me limb from limb
If there's a point you've made it
If there's a fare I've paid it
Later on good wishes
Later on good try
I'm afraid won't do
It's not justified
You go from the privy
And you end up deprived
On top of the world
But still there's no view
Only 'cause I don't have you
Take down the signs
Pack up the boxes
Put away the wine
No toast for the future
No reward for the find
If looks could kill
This mirror would do
Only 'cause I don't have you
Don't bother with ovations
Leave off the fanfare
Let the candles melt down
Till the smoke's all that's there
Leave the veil in place
A tear, la mer
I could say it was nothing
Now that there's nothing new
Only 'cause I don't have you
Not built on a wisp or whim
Twist an arm, break a leg
Tear me limb from limb
If there's a point you've made it
If there's a fare I've paid it
Later on good wishes
Later on good try
I'm afraid won't do
It's not justified
You go from the privy
And you end up deprived
On top of the world
But still there's no view
Only 'cause I don't have you
Recipe For Love lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And that's the recipe for making love
It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making love
And if you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more
I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe for making love
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too
Then let it rise for a hundred years or two
And that's the recipe for making love
It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet
It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat
Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete
And that's the recipe for making love
And if you've made it right you'll know it
It's not like anything you've made before
And if you've made it wrong you'll know it
'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more
I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf
I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf
No, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself
And that's the recipe for making love
Drifting lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I see your eyes drifting, drifting
I'm really not that naive
You wear a smile but it's drifting, drifting
While I wear my heart on my sleeve
I feel your coldness against my skin
I know what follows the autumn wind
And though you say your heart isn't drifting, drifting
The words simply don't ring true
You're drifting and I'm losing you
I'm really not that naive
You wear a smile but it's drifting, drifting
While I wear my heart on my sleeve
I feel your coldness against my skin
I know what follows the autumn wind
And though you say your heart isn't drifting, drifting
The words simply don't ring true
You're drifting and I'm losing you
Forever, For Now lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Meet me on the corner of close and soon
I'll have a song in my head
And my hands on a tune
Nothing lasts forever
So I figure I better
Take you forever
For now
Meet me in the lobby of destiny
I'll have a ribbon on my shoulders
And a halo over me
If nothing lasts forever
I guess I better
Take you forever
For now
Under a clock
By an information desk
I'll be there will bells on
By an old oak
A fountain in the park
Just don't be long
By the ticket counter for love in spring
I'll be standin' there with cupid
And he can aim that thing
Nothing lasts forever
It's not a question of whether
I'll take you forever
For now
I'll have a song in my head
And my hands on a tune
Nothing lasts forever
So I figure I better
Take you forever
For now
Meet me in the lobby of destiny
I'll have a ribbon on my shoulders
And a halo over me
If nothing lasts forever
I guess I better
Take you forever
For now
Under a clock
By an information desk
I'll be there will bells on
By an old oak
A fountain in the park
Just don't be long
By the ticket counter for love in spring
I'll be standin' there with cupid
And he can aim that thing
Nothing lasts forever
It's not a question of whether
I'll take you forever
For now
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darned world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said good-night
A nightingale sang
A nightingale sang
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darned world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said good-night
A nightingale sang
A nightingale sang
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square
Heavenly lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
He's always smiling
He never looks mean
Even when the sun comes in between
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
She's there in the evening
She never comes late
All day she spins around
But never makes him wait
The girl in the world is smiling
'Cause she's in love
The girl in the world is smiling
'Cause she's in love with the man in the moon
When two heavenly bodies glow
All the stars agree
A planet might be born
Maybe even a galaxy
And in the morning
They don't say good-bye
But with a kiss
They blend into the sky
Oh, they're smiling
'Cause they're in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
Heavenly!
He never looks mean
Even when the sun comes in between
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
She's there in the evening
She never comes late
All day she spins around
But never makes him wait
The girl in the world is smiling
'Cause she's in love
The girl in the world is smiling
'Cause she's in love with the man in the moon
When two heavenly bodies glow
All the stars agree
A planet might be born
Maybe even a galaxy
And in the morning
They don't say good-bye
But with a kiss
They blend into the sky
Oh, they're smiling
'Cause they're in love
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
The man in the moon is smiling
'Cause he's in love with the girl in the world
Heavenly!
Just A Boy lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
The last days in May
Before summer lay claim
Back in the school yard
We made up a game
Now is always
Is always the same
Too bad always always ends
[Chorus:]
I remember
I remember when
But I was just
Just a boy
Then
Innocent envy
Without compromise
Recommendations
All ill advised
Tall tales
And little white lies
The truth had to bend
[Chorus]
Now that we're tall
And all grown
A house a car
Lives of our own
We put off
But we can't postpone
The way we become men
[Chorus]
I've Got A Great Idea lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I've got a great idea
And wouldn't you like to know
You probably can't bear it
So I guess I'll have to share it
I thought of it a moment ago
It starts with your hand in mine
And next comes a little stroll
You probably won't buy it
But I'm trying to keep it quiet
So please don't tell a soul
'Cause if you do
The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go you'll hear me say
I could have been a decent match for Edison
Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'Cause my idea's no good for three
My idea is you and me
And wouldn't you like to know
You probably can't bear it
So I guess I'll have to share it
I thought of it a moment ago
It starts with your hand in mine
And next comes a little stroll
You probably won't buy it
But I'm trying to keep it quiet
So please don't tell a soul
'Cause if you do
The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go you'll hear me say
I could have been a decent match for Edison
Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'Cause my idea's no good for three
My idea is you and me
I'll Dream Of You Again lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I spent last night dreaming of your eyes
But your hair kept getting in the way
Your lips dropped in to tell me how you'd been
But when I tried to kiss them
My pillow told me I missed them
Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then I knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then
I'd dream of you again
But your hair kept getting in the way
Your lips dropped in to tell me how you'd been
But when I tried to kiss them
My pillow told me I missed them
Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby
And it was then I knew just what to do
I'd fall asleep and then
I'd dream of you again
It's Alright With Me lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not her face but it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile but it's such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright with me
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not her face but it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile but it's such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright with me
Buried In Blue lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
The sun sets red with rage
White clouds float by
Like high cotton
Blank as an empty page
Blue is a color buried
Not forgotten
Sweet as mother's milk
And clear as the wind
Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk
Blue is the color to be buried in
When you left
Leaving nothing behind
There's no one to blame
No criminal, no crime
You can report a missing person
But not a stolen heart
And I'm missing a person
To whom stealing was an art
The painting's complete
The brush strokes dry
I hear a band playing
A bent note or two
I guess someone died
And just wants to be
Buried in blue
White clouds float by
Like high cotton
Blank as an empty page
Blue is a color buried
Not forgotten
Sweet as mother's milk
And clear as the wind
Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk
Blue is the color to be buried in
When you left
Leaving nothing behind
There's no one to blame
No criminal, no crime
You can report a missing person
But not a stolen heart
And I'm missing a person
To whom stealing was an art
The painting's complete
The brush strokes dry
I hear a band playing
A bent note or two
I guess someone died
And just wants to be
Buried in blue
It Had To Be You (Big Band And Vocals) lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who could make me be true
Could make me be blue or even be glad
Just to be sad just thinking of you
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who could make me be true
Could make me be blue or even be glad
Just to be sad just thinking of you
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
Love Is Here To Stay lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year, forever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
They're all just passing fancies
That in time may go
Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Oh, our love is here to stay
Not for a year, forever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
They're all just passing fancies
That in time may go
Oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
Oh, our love is here to stay
But Not For Me lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi ho! Alas!
And also, lackaday!
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess
She's not for me
It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a the marriage knot
And there's
No knot for me
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi ho! Alas!
And also, lackaday!
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess
She's not for me
It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a the marriage knot
And there's
No knot for me
Don't Get Around Much Anymore lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore
I Could Write A Book lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
If they asked me I could write a book
About the way you walk and whisper and look
I could write the preface on how we met
So the world would never forget
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers of friends
About the way you walk and whisper and look
I could write the preface on how we met
So the world would never forget
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot
Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers of friends
Let's Call The Whole Thing Off lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
You say "either" and I say "either"
You say "neither" I say "neither"
"Either" "either", "neither" "neither"
Let's call the whole thing off
You say "potato" I say "patattah"
You say "tomato" I say "creole tomatah"
Let's call the whole thing off
Oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part and
Oh, if we ever part
That would break my heart
I say "ursta" you say "oyster"
I'm not gonna stop eatin urstas
Just cause you say oysters,
Let's call the whole thing off
I say "pajamas" you say "pajamas"
Sugar, what's the problem?
For we know we need each other so
We'd better call the calling off off
Oh let's call it off, oh let's call it off
Oh let's call it off, baby let's call it off
Sugar why don't we call it off,
I'm talking baby why call it off
Let's call the whole thing off
You say "neither" I say "neither"
"Either" "either", "neither" "neither"
Let's call the whole thing off
You say "potato" I say "patattah"
You say "tomato" I say "creole tomatah"
Let's call the whole thing off
Oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part and
Oh, if we ever part
That would break my heart
I say "ursta" you say "oyster"
I'm not gonna stop eatin urstas
Just cause you say oysters,
Let's call the whole thing off
I say "pajamas" you say "pajamas"
Sugar, what's the problem?
For we know we need each other so
We'd better call the calling off off
Oh let's call it off, oh let's call it off
Oh let's call it off, baby let's call it off
Sugar why don't we call it off,
I'm talking baby why call it off
Let's call the whole thing off
Where Or When lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when
Imagination lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do
Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh well
Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can't imagine that you want me too
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just like I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
It starts you asking a daisy what to do
What to do
Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, then and then
You find it's only your imagination again
Oh well
Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
Yet I can't imagine that you want me too
Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss her each night and day
I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's
Getting stronger the longer I stay away
Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Running in the spring
Moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I'm wishin I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
And miss her each night and day
I know I'm not wrong because the feeling's
Getting stronger the longer I stay away
Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Running in the spring
Moonlight on the bayous
Creole tunes fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I'm wishin I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's one thing more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
Basin Street Blues lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Basin Street is the street
Where all the white and the black folk meet
Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams
You never know how much it seems
Not just how much it really means
I'm glad to be, yessirree, in the land of reverie
I can't lose my Basin Street Blues
Where all the white and the black folk meet
Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams
You never know how much it seems
Not just how much it really means
I'm glad to be, yessirree, in the land of reverie
I can't lose my Basin Street Blues
Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Oh please, don't talk about me when I'm gone
Although our friendship ceases from now on
Hey Carmen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice
We are parting
You go your way
I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a little kiss
I hope that this brings lots of love to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
'Cause baby I know you'd better not talk about me when I'm gone
Although our friendship ceases from now on
Hey Carmen, if you can't say anything real nice
It's better not to talk at all, that's my advice
We are parting
You go your way
I'll go mine
It's best that we do
Here's a little kiss
I hope that this brings lots of love to you
Makes no difference how I carry on
'Cause baby I know you'd better not talk about me when I'm gone
Stars Fell On Alabama lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Moonlight and magnolias, starlight in your hair
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was I really there
Was I really there with you
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama that night
I can't forget the glamour, your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night
[Spoken:]
"Alright, let's take it on down from Muscle Shoals through Decatur"
"Mmmm, Birmingham, ooh Montgomery"
"Right up over Spanish Fort into Mobile, my hometown"
"Mister T..."
[Harmonica solo]
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
Ah, stars fell on Alabama last night
[Spoken:]
"One more time boys..."
Yes, we lived our little drama
We kissed on the dunes so white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was I really there
Was I really there with you
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama that night
I can't forget the glamour, your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night
[Spoken:]
"Alright, let's take it on down from Muscle Shoals through Decatur"
"Mmmm, Birmingham, ooh Montgomery"
"Right up over Spanish Fort into Mobile, my hometown"
"Mister T..."
[Harmonica solo]
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
Ah, stars fell on Alabama last night
[Spoken:]
"One more time boys..."
Yes, we lived our little drama
We kissed on the dunes so white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
S'Wonderful lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
S' wonderful! 'S marvelous!
You should care for me!
S' awful nice! 'S paradise!
S' what I love to see!
You've made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me for feeling amorous.
Oh! 'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!
S' wonderful! S' marvelous!
That you should care for me!
S' awful nice! S' paradise!

My dear, it's four-leaf clover time
From now on my heart's working overtime.
Oh! S' wonderful! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!
You should care for me!
S' awful nice! 'S paradise!
S' what I love to see!
You've made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me for feeling amorous.
Oh! 'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!
S' wonderful! S' marvelous!
That you should care for me!
S' awful nice! S' paradise!

From now on my heart's working overtime.
Oh! S' wonderful! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!
If Only I Had A Brain lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I could while away the hours
Conferrin with the flowers
Consultin with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin
While my thoughts were busy hatchin
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel any riddle
For any individd-el
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin
I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain
Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more
I would not be just a nothin
My head all full of stuffin
My heart all full of pain
Perhaps I deserve you
And be even worthy erve you
If I only had
If I only had a brain
Conferrin with the flowers
Consultin with the rain
And my head I'd be scratchin
While my thoughts were busy hatchin
If I only had a brain
I'd unravel any riddle
For any individd-el
In trouble or in pain
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin
I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain
Oh, I could tell you why
The ocean's near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I'd sit and think some more
I would not be just a nothin
My head all full of stuffin
My heart all full of pain
Perhaps I deserve you
And be even worthy erve you
If I only had
If I only had a brain
Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream
It's over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you heard
Baby, I haven't a chance
True I've been seen
With someone new
That doesn't mean
I've been untrue
While we're apart
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
Baby, you never will
Pay no attention to what's said
Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream
It's over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you heard
Baby, I haven't a chance
True I've been seen
With someone new
That doesn't mean
I've been untrue
While we're apart
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
Baby, you never will
Doctor Jazz lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
Hello Central give me Doctor Jazz
He's got what I need, I'll say he has
When the world goes wrong and I've got the blues
He's the guy who makes me
Put on both my dancin' shoes
The more I get, the more I want it soon
I see Doctor Jazz in all my dreams
When I'm in trouble bounds are mixed
He's the guy who gets me fixed
Hello central give me Doctor Jazz
He's got what I need, I'll say he has
When the world goes wrong and I've got the blues
He's the guy who makes me
Put on both my dancin' shoes
The more I get, the more I want it soon
I see Doctor Jazz in all my dreams
When I'm in trouble bounds are mixed
He's the guy who gets me fixed
Hello central give me Doctor Jazz
Muskrat Ramble lyrics - Harry Connick Jr
I look at them shuffle and the shuffle come down
Ramblin' and scramblin' and a-headin' for town
Hoppin' and boppin' and a-buzzin' around
Happily awaitin' at the station
I look at that train number 709
Hoppin' and boppin' and arrivin' on time
Who do you think is about to arrive
The band they call the Dixieland Five
They're gonna play that muskrat ramble tune
Like the way you never heard it played
Get ready for the big parade
All together now - one and two
Join that happy crowd
Tellin' me that ramblin' scramblin' muskrat song
Come on, ramble along
Yeah
Ramblin' and scramblin' and a-headin' for town
Hoppin' and boppin' and a-buzzin' around
Happily awaitin' at the station
I look at that train number 709
Hoppin' and boppin' and arrivin' on time
Who do you think is about to arrive
The band they call the Dixieland Five
They're gonna play that muskrat ramble tune
Like the way you never heard it played
Get ready for the big parade
All together now - one and two
Join that happy crowd
Tellin' me that ramblin' scramblin' muskrat song
Come on, ramble along
Yeah
