Living For Today (2017)












Fever lyrics - Petula Clark

Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear

You give me fever
(You give me fever)
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
(You give me fever)
Fever in the mornin'
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
'Cause I know you're gonna treat me right

You give me fever
(You give me fever)
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
(You give me fever)
Fever in the mornin'
Fever all through the night

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet, she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said "Julie, baby, you're my flame"

You give me fever
(You give me fever)
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
(You give me fever)
Fever in the mornin'
Fever all through the night

Fever

Everybody's got the fever
That is something that you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long time ago

You give me fever
(You give me fever)
When you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
(You give me fever)
Fever in the mornin'
Fever all through the night

Fever

A Miracle To Me lyrics - Petula Clark

A way that you are
Is a miracle to me
When I see your face
I see a shining star
And no one else has that glow
And I so want you to know
You're everything to me
And you will always be
Promise me to stay as you are
And as the years go by
I will love you the way you are today

Never thought that I'd ever feel this way again
But here it is, so I'll try to explain
When I hear your name
All I wanna do is break free, break free
And be with you, just be with you

A way that you are
Is a miracle to me
When I see your smile
You'll make my heart sing
And no one else has that glow
And I so want you to know
You're everything to me
And you will always be
Promise me to stay as you are
And as the years go by
I will love you the way you are today

Blackbird lyrics - Petula Clark

(originally by Beatles)

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

From Now On lyrics - Petula Clark

I don't need to know how your life has been
I've been there too, and I have seen
All that really matters is from now on

And we don't need to talk about yesterday
That's over now and I'm glad to say
All that really matters is from now on

Looking that you know I begin to see
How we could be for you and me
If we don't take this chance, how will we ever know
I really want to know

Yes, I guess we both had a bumpy ride
Broken dreams, wounded pride
All that really matters is from now on

And though she broke your heart like he broke mine
It's in the past, come on, pour the wine
All that really matters is from now on

Looking that you know I begin to see
How we could be for you and me
If we don't take this chance, how will we ever know
I really want to know

Hey [?], I love being here with you after so long
Our lives took us on different paths, different journeys
But here we are

I don't need to know how your life has been
I've been there too, and I have seen
All that really matters is from now on

Looking that you know I begin to see
How we could be for you and me
If we don't take this chance, how will we ever know
I really want to know

Endgame lyrics - Petula Clark

Every time I see you
Every time I hold you
Every time I say your name
I seem to see the light
Everything is all right
I've found my endgame

Sometimes in the lonely night
When my worries get me down
I concentrate on your aid
Wishing you were around
So, I call you on the phone
And I imagine your sweet smile
Then you say: You know, I love you, babe
And I'll be with you in a while

Every time I see you
Every time I hold you
Every time I say your name
I seem to see the light
Everything is all right
I've found my endgame

I remember how you touched me
And that lovelight in your eye
How I trembled when you kiss me
And you made me realized
That you're all I've ever wanted
You're everything to me
So let's hold on to that feeling
Till you're home, where you should be

Every time I see you
Every time I hold you
Every time I say your name
I seem to see the light
Everything is all right
I've found my endgame

Every time I hear you
Every time I need you
Or somebody says your name
I feel peace and love
Shining down from moon 'bove
I've found my endgame

Every time I see you
Every time I hold you
Every time I say your name
I seem to see the light
Everything is all right
I've found my endgame

Never Let Go lyrics - Petula Clark

Wandering round the world I've seen
The good and bad, the end between
No one is perfect
This we all know
But my heart and soul keep telling me 'never let go'

Keep doing what you're doing
Givin' it all you can
Never let go

Wonderin' what it's all about
Sometimes you're in then you're out
Nothing is perfect
This we all know
But my heart and soul keep telling me 'never let go'

Keep doing what you're doing
Givin' it all you can
Never let go

Although the road is rough
The dissolution at every turn
Just remember these words of wisdom
'We live and maybe we'll learn'

If we could have seen the way ahead
Would this have changed the lives we've had

No life is perfect
This we all know
But my heart and soul keep telling me 'never let go'

Keep doing what you're doing
Givin' it all you can
Never let go
Never let go

Never let go
No no no no no no
Never let go
Never, never, never, never, never let go
Never let go
Never let go

Happiness lyrics - Petula Clark

Happiness,
That sweet and fleeting feeling
We all need to know
Is waiting here inside us
All it takes is a smile or a song
Or the perfume
Of a long forgotten garden rose
It comes, it goes

Le bonheur
Oui, le bonheur est là
Je le sens près de moi
Partons ensemble sur le grand bleu
Bienvenue à bord!
J'ai le cœur qui bat si fort
Ici ce soir
De bonheur

Yes, this is happiness
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Be Good To Me lyrics - Petula Clark

(Doo doo doo, be good to me)
(Doo doo doo, be good to me)

Let me tell you, baby
I'm in love with you
But I often wonder
If you love me too
You know I need
You all the time
Will you be good to me?

I can still remember
From the day we met
Little things have happened
That we both regret
But life could
Always be different
If you be good to me

Say you want me forever
Promise me you'll stay together

Let me just forgive you
Everything and, then
Baby, let's forget it
All and start again

You know our love could be so fine
If you be good to me

(Doo doo doo, be good to me)
(Doo doo doo, be good to me)

But life could always be different
If you be good to me

Say you want me forever
Promise me you'll stay together

Let me just forgive you
Everything and, then
Baby, let's forget it
All and start again
You know our love
Could be so fine
If you be good to me

Promise me, baby
Say you'll be good to me
All the time

Crying Through A Sleepless Night lyrics - Petula Clark

(Crying through a sleepless night)
(Crying through a sleepless night)

Since you went away and left me
Things have never been quite right
Lonely through the hours of daytime
Crying through a sleepless night

I was such a fool to lose you
Guess I never saw the light
Now, my heart is really breaking
Crying through a sleepless night

I'm sure no one else ever felt like this
Not in a million years
They've found several oceans
In this whole world
Now, there's another for tears

Please, come back again and love me
Hold me in your arms so tight
Only you can ever stop me
Crying through a sleepless night

(Crying through a sleepless night)
(Crying through a sleepless night)

I'm sure no one else ever felt like this
Not in a million years
They've found several oceans
In this whole world
Now, there's another for tears

Please, come back again and love me
Hold me in your arms so tight
Only you can ever stop me
Crying through a sleepless night

(Crying through a sleepless night)
Crying through a sleepless night
(Crying through a sleepless night)
Crying through a sleepless night

Dancing In The Street lyrics - Petula Clark

(originally by Martha & The Vandellas)

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
Up in New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging swaying records playing
Dancing in the street

Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
They'll be dancing
They're dancing in the street

It's just an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget the Motor City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street

Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on every guy grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world

Dancing
They're dancing in the street

Feed The Birds lyrics - Petula Clark & Zizi Strallen

(from "Mary Poppins (The Definitive Supercalifragilistic 2020 Cast Recording)" soundtrack)

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag

Early each day to the steps of St. Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people she calls
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs"

Come feed the little birds, show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag

"Feed the birds," that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies

All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares

Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag

Heart lyrics - Petula Clark

Heart, I can hear my heart
Every time we meet, every time we part

When I'm in your arms, I can hear my heart
We kiss and the rhythm start

I can feel the beat, beat, beat every time you're here
Oh, don't speak to me 'cuz I just couldn't hear

I can hear the boom like the rhythm of a train
Like a thousand drums, there it goes again

Oh what can I do now?
My heart is beating just for you

Yeah, my poor heart, can't you see
What have you started, oh, what you're doing to me?

Heart, I just can't take it
I'm going crazy, I'm going out of my head, yeah

Heart, you've got to stop now
I'm feeling hazy because I've got it so bad

I'm so in love with you!
Nothing I can do!
And I'm gonna lose my heart to you!

How We Gonna Live To Be A Hundred Years Old Together? lyrics - Petula Clark

You don't have to offer me no alibis
You probably made the same mistake again
It's a love and lose 'em ball
And the writing's on the wall
And it's time I call the story to an end

Oh how are we going to live
To be a hundred years old together
How are we going to weather the bad times
When all that you can think of is you
How are we going to make it
To a hundred years old together

You don't have to beg me for forgiveness
I wasn't the type to follow you around
'Cause it isn't in my place
To doubt your lovin' face
And after this experience I've found

Oh how are we going to live
To be a hundred years old together
How are we going to weather the bad times
When all that you can think of is you
How are we going to make it
To a hundred years old together

Hey how are we going to weather the bad times
When all that you can think of is you
How are we going to make it
To a hundred years old together, together

In Love lyrics - Petula Clark

Staying in love

I'm in love (Love)
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
Love (Love)
I'm in love
I don't want nobody else
'Cause I'm, I'm in love

Oh, oh, oh
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't you see?

Please, say (Say)
Say (Say)
Say (Say)
Say (Say)
Say (Say)
You love me
I don't want nobody else
'Cause I'm, I'm in love
Oh, baby

I don't want nobody else
'Cause I'm, I'm in love
Oh, yeah

I don't want nobody else
'Cause I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm in love

Let Me Tell You lyrics - Petula Clark

Let me tell you, baby, all I know
Let me tell you, baby, all I know

I know I'll never ever let you go
I know that's just because
I love you so
Let me walk with you
Let me talk with you
Let me tell you, baby
All I know

I know I need you every
Day and night
I know these arms of mine
Would hold you tight
Let me stay with you
Night and day with you
Let me tell you, baby
All I know

There are so many
Things I wanna say
I wanna tell them
To you every day
And I would tell you
Everything and, then
I would start all over again

I know I'll never ever let you go
I know that's just because
I love you so
Let me walk with you
Let me talk to you
Let me tell you, baby
All I know
All I know is
I'm so in love with you

Oh
I know I'll never ever let you go
I know that's just because
I love you so
Let me walk with you
Let me talk to you
Let me tell you, baby
All I know
All I know is
I'm so in love with you

Luminescent lyrics - The John Williams Syndicate & Petula Clark

We're coming alone, leave here the same
Just trying to find a way
We are golden
With silver shadows
We only know we're truly alive
Just as we run out of time
So we hold on
Until we're ready

We walk this earth
Bearing the beams of life
Luminescent

How do we know if it's here to stay?
Can it be real if we feel no pain?
This is love
Is it wrong to wanna feel this way?
Why are the simple things so hard to say?
This is love

Take me apart, a piece at a time
And tell me what you see inside
My eyes are open
And my heart is beating

We walk this earth
Bearing the beams of life
Luminescent

How do we know if it's here to stay?
Can it be real if we feel no pain?
This is love
Is it wrong to wanna feel this way?
Why are the simple things so hard to say?
This is love

I need you now
So we can be together in this brave world
Right here, right now

Is it wrong to wanna feel this way?
Why are the simple things so hard to say?
This is love
How do we know if it's here to stay?
Can it be real if we feel no pain?
This is love
Is it wrong to wanna feel this way?
Why are the simple things so hard to say?
This is love

Mille Mille Grazie lyrics - Petula Clark

Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Tausendmal Danke schön
Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Es war wunderschön

Wir woll'n mit einem Lächeln
Auseinander geh'n
Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Auf wiederseh'n

Es blüh'n die Aprikosen
So zart wie mein Glück mit dir
Und blüh'n die roten Rosen
Dann kommst du zurück zu mir

Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Tausendmal Danke schön
Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Es war wunderschön

Wir woll'n mit einem Lächeln
Auseinander geh'n
Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Auf wiederseh'n

Es blüh'n die Aprikosen
So zart wie mein Glück mit dir
Und blüh'n die roten Rosen
Dann kommst du zurück zu mir

Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Tausendmal Danke schön
Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Es war wunderschön

Wir woll'n mit einem Lächeln
Auseinander geh'n
Mille Mille Mille Grazie
Auf wiederseh'n

So zart wie mein Glück mit dir
Und blüh'n die roten Rosen
Dann kommst du zurück zu mir

Music lyrics - Petula Clark

The sound of gently falling rain
That's music
The pounding rhythm of a train
That's music

And whenever you're near to me
Every note is so clear to me
There's music, sweet music in the air

The birds that sing at early dawn
That's music
A summer breeze in fields of corn
That's music

And the moment you cling to me
Then it seems like a symphony
There's music, sweet music everywhere
Such beautiful themes
No wonder I dream of you

The very thought of loving you
That's music
To hear you say you love me too
That's music

Will you walk arm in arm with me
Through a life full of harmony?
We'll listen to music
The sweetest of music
The music that lovers always share

The very thought of loving you
That's music
To hear you say you love me too
That's music

Will you walk arm in arm with me
Through a life full of harmony?
We'll listen to music
The sweetest of music
The music that lovers always share

La, ra, ra, la, ra, ra, la ra, ra, la, ra
La, ra, ra, la, ra, ra, la ra, ra, la, ra

Now That You've Gone lyrics - Petula Clark

Why does all the world pass me by?
Why does no one hear when I cry?
Why do lonely arms long for you?
Why can't I believe that it's true?

Now, that you've gone
Gone, gone away
Gone, gone, gone away

Why is there a dawn but no day?
Why do all the stars fade away?
Why are shadows hiding the sun?
Why do I have nowhere to run?

Now, that you've gone
Gone, gone away
Gone, gone, gone away

Where are all the dreams that we knew?
Whoever said dreams all come true?
Where are they now?

Why must life go on anymore?
Why do I want you more and more?
Why do I go on asking why?
When you'll be my love till I die?

Why have you gone
Gone, gone away
Gone, gone, gone away?

Where are all the dreams that we knew?
Whoever said dreams all come true?
Where are they now?

Why must life go on anymore?
Why do I want you more and more?
Why do I go on asking why?
When you'll be my love till I die?

Why have you gone
Gone, gone away
Gone, gone, gone away
From me?

Smile lyrics - Petula Clark

(originally by Nat King Cole)

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

The Little Shoemaker lyrics - Petula Clark

In the shoemaker's shop
This refrain would never stop
As he tapped away
Working all the day

At his bench there was he
Just as busy as a bee
Little time to lose
With the boots and shoes

But his heart went pop
Inside the little shop
When a lovely girl
Set him all a whirl

She had come to choose
Some pretty dancing shoes
And he heard her say
In her charming way

I want some shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing all the day
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away

Then he tapped and he stitched
For his fingers were bewitched
And he sewed a dream
Into every seam

Making shoes, oh so neat
Just like magic on her feet
And he hoped she'd know
That he loved her so

But she danced, danced, danced
As tho' she were entranced
Like a spinning top
All around the shop

On her dainty feet
She whirled into the street
And he heard her say
As she danced away

Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing all the day
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away

I want some shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing, dancing all the day
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away
Shoes to set my feet a-dancing, dancing
Dancing all my cares away
Dancing all my cares away

The World Song lyrics - Petula Clark

Hey, don't you think it's time that we had a party
Wouldn't you agree we all need a good time
We could have the neighbors in for a drink
And lay a little food on too

You could ask the Joneses
I could ask the Thompsons
Stuart from the store
And don't forget the Johnsons
And what about the man who stands on the corner
He must have a tale or two to tell

Wouldn't it be nice to buy out the Fillmore
And fill it with our friends
And then if there's still more room
We could ask the folks from the City
To come along and feel at home
And if the ragged gypsy danced with the soldier
Think of all the things the soldier could learn
And think of all the things the doctor could tell the priest

There's a story to be told
Listen
Sounds so new, in truth, its old
Listen

Hey, maybe we should give an open invitation
We could have a friend from every single nation
We could ask the friends to bring along a friend
Anyone who wants to come will be welcome
Anyone who wants to make with the music
Is going to be allowed to play what he wants to
Anyone who wants to sing us a song can bring us a song
And sing it if he wants to
Maybe we could hear the voices of China
Sharing a harmony with Carolina
Africa could take the bass with the Asians
Melody promotes our east-west relations
Russia and the USA would be singing
Everybody's bells and hearts would be ringing
We could get the song to go on forever
If everybody in the world sang together

There's a meaning oh so clear
Listen
Notes as old as life is dear
Listen

Maybe we could hear the voices of China
Sharing a harmony with Carolina
Africa could take the bass with the Asians
Melody promotes our east-west relations
Russia and the USA would be singing
Everybody's bells and hearts would be ringing
We could get the song to go on forever
If everybody in the world sang together, hey

Oh we could make such sweet music together
If you come with your heart in your hand
[Repeat & fade]

True Love Never Runs Smooth lyrics - Petula Clark

Stand beside me all the while
No matter what goes wrong
Separately we're weak
Together we'll be strong

For true love never runs smooth
But I don't care
'Cause true love is worth all the pain
The heartaches and tears
That we may share

When the world outside
My arms is pulling us apart
Press your lips to mine
And hold me with your heart

For true love never runs smooth
That's what they say
But true love is worth all the pain
The heartaches and tears
We have to face

For true love never runs smooth
That's what they say
But true love is worth all the pain
The heartaches and tears
We have to face

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Two Rivers lyrics - Petula Clark

I was born in a great big city
With a river running by
London (London)
And this is the town that I loved and knew
This is the place where I lived and grew
And dreamed of love

Then, I met someone with a different voice
Had a different sound, from a different town
From a different land, and he took my hand
And I followed him, oh yeah

Now, I live in a great big city
With a river running by
Paris (Paris)
And this is the town that I've learned to know
This is the place where my love can grow
And the dream of love has come true

In my heart with every beat
Two rivers flow, two rivers meet
And love, and love

Warum Muß Man Auseinandergeh'n lyrics - Petula Clark

Mit weißen Perlen, fing alles an
Die du mir schenktest als Talismann
Dann kamen Tränen, so viele Tränen
Die Zeit der Einsamkeit begann

Ich geb' die Perlen so gerne hin
Wenn ich nun wieder bald bei dir bin
Weil ich vor Sehnsucht, vor lauter Sehnsucht
Nicht mehr woher weiss und wohin

Warum muß man auseinandergeh'n
Gerade wenn's am Schönsten wär?
Denn das Warten auf ein Wiedersehen
Macht das Herz so schwer

Mit weißen Perlen, fing alles an
Die du mir schenktest als Talismann
Denkst in der Ferne, in weiter Ferne
Nur noch daran wie es begann

Mit weißen Perlen, fing alles an
Die du mir schenktest als Talismann
Denkst in der Ferne, in weiter Ferne
Nur noch daran wie es begann

You Belong To Me lyrics - Petula Clark

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me

See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
And blue

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me

Just remember 'til you're home again
You belong to me
You belong to me

You Can't Keep Me From Loving You lyrics - Petula Clark

You can't keep the star from the cloudless night
You can't keep the wave from the shore
You can't keep the sky free from birds that fly
You can't keep me from loving you
As the grass will grow, darling, this I know
You can't keep me from loving you

Try to stop the trembling of the autumn leaves
Try to turn the rose petal blue
Darling can't you see some things have to be
You can't keep me from loving you

You can't keep the snow from the moutain top
You can't keep the moon from the sea
You can't keep the trees from the evening breeze
You can't keep me from loving you
No, some things never change, so it isn't strange
You can't keep me from loving you

"Lost In You" (2013)

Cut Copy Me lyrics Petula Clark

I breathe you in when you are near
I hide my coyness and fear
Don't let the light grow dim
It's just you and I in the moonlight air

Cut copy me I'm all yours
You're the shoreline I see when I'm off course
I want you to hold me forever, make it last
Forget the others from my past

I seek you in the depths of the night
Like a beacon of light you guide my fright
I promise to give you the sweetest sleep
And my shoulder is yours when you weep

Cut copy me I'm all yours
You're the shoreline I see when I'm off course
I want you to hold me forever, make it last
Forget the others from my past

Cut copy me I'm all yours
You're the shoreline I see when I'm off course
I want you to hold me forever, make it last
Forget the others from my past

Cut copy me I'm all yours
You're the shoreline I see when I'm off course
I want you to hold me forever, make it last
Forget the others from my past

Lost In You lyrics - Petula Clark

When the night feels so long
You’re the heat that keeps me warm
When tears are falling
I am calm, you’re here
And I am whole

Now and then I am humbled
The seasons change but I remain lost in you
Now and then you get insecure
My feelings will remain and I am lost in you

Lonely days have been and gone
Our hearts, they beat as one
In your arms, feels like home
You’re the one, you’re the one
You’re the one

Now and then I am humbled
The seasons change but I remain lost in you
Now and then you get insecure
My feelings will remain and I am lost in you

Lost in you, lost in you

Now and then I am humbled
The seasons change but I remain lost in you
Now and then you get insecure
My feelings will remain and I am lost in you

Crazy lyrics Petula Clark

(originally by Gnarls Barkley)

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

Uh, uh

Never Enough lyrics Petula Clark

Been around the world so many times
found friends across the border line
Some people stay the same that I'm
shifting and rearranging
They with me all the time.

Maybe I've seen too much
I've made my home in many places
ran so many races too.
Maybe I'm losing times
But there is one thing I am sure of
I've never seen enough of you.
Enough of you
Never enough of you.

Some stories nice can be so long
it's hard to see where I belong
but morning breaks although my heart is aching
I think of you and I'm strong.

Maybe I've seen too much
I've made my home in many places
ran so many races too.
Maybe I'm losing times
But there is one thing I am sure of
I've never seen enough of you.
Enough of you
Never enough of you.
Never enough, never enough.

Some people stay the same that I'm
shifting and rearranging
They with me all the time.

Maybe I've seen too much
I've made my home in many places
ran so many races too.
Maybe I'm losing times
But there is one thing I am sure of
I've never seen enough of you.
Enough of you
Never enough of you.
Never enough, never enough.

Maybe I've seen too much
I've made my home in many places
ran so many races too.
Maybe I'm losing times
But there is one thing I am sure of
I've never seen enough of you.
Enough of you
Never enough of you.
Never enough, never enough.

Downtown (New Version) lyrics - Petula Clark

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now

So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute for
Downtown - everything's waiting for you

Next To You lyrics - Petula Clark

Paint by numbers, all in grey
Life is a string of endless days alone, waiting,
Counting clock ways till you came
Darling how the seasons changed, I saw strange things

The sun looks like a shadow next to you
The stars look like old street lights, that’s to prove
Nothing is as grand, no one else can stand next to you
I got over that whole Man in the Moon
He doesn’t serenade me like you do
My heart beats so loud, I can’t see the crowd next to you

Puzzle pieces, half lucid state,
shadows rested over me, but hope, daydream
Sleepless walking, second floor
Through the window, one last look, was like wasting

The sun looks like a shadow next to you
The stars look like old street lights, that’s to prove
Nothing is as grand, no one else can stand next to you
I got over that whole Man in the Moon
He doesn’t serenade me like you do
My heart beats so loud, I can’t see the crowd next to you

The sun looks like a shadow next to you
The stars look like old street lights, that’s to prove
Nothing is as grand, no one else can stand next to you
I got over that whole Man in the Moon
He doesn’t serenade me like you do
My heart beats so loud, I can’t see the crowd next to you

My heart beats so loud, I can’t see the crowd next to you

Reflections lyrics - Petula Clark

Reflections of my life reveal
so many misty memories
Of me, as a tiny child in Wales
of mountains streams and daydreams.
I'd sing all through the days and there
in the chapel with the organ playing.

I knew from the very start
that music was in my heart to stay
with me all the way
each and every day of my life.

And though I was only six years old,
My soul was so much older
with the joy and love to lead me on
and angels on my shoulder

So now that my heart is heavy
and the world seems too demanding
I go to that other place and smile with her happy face
She's there with me everywhere
And we breathe the sweet mountain air.

I travel a long and winding road
to all of life's directions
and now in the mirror I can see it all in these reflections
and through all my ups and downs
disillusion, joy and wonder
we stand in the golden light
one voice reaching through the night
At last the present and the past
live together here in my heart.

He Loves And She Loves lyrics - Petula Clark

He loves and she loves and they love
So why can’t you love and I love, too?

Birds love and bees love and whisper in trees loud
That’s what we both should do
I always knew someday you’d come along
We’ll make a twosome that just can’t go wrong
Darling, he loves and she loves and they love
So why won’t you love as I love you?

Birds love and bees love and whisper in trees loud
That’s what we both should do
I always knew someday you’d come along
We’ll make a twosome that just can’t go wrong
Darling, he loves and she loves and they love
So why won’t you love as I love you?

Every Word You Say lyrics - Petula Clark

There’s a light up ahead
Take me where it will lead
Wherever you are
Reaching out through the dark
I can see, here you breathe
I’ll follow where you are

I know I’m in too deep
When your love washes over me
Don’t know where it may lead
But I’ll go where it’s taking me
So, slowly as we walk away
I will hold onto every word you say

Everywhere that you are
I can feel all around, feel your heart beat
Every heart has a sound
And the way that yours speaks
It echoes back to me

I know I’m in too deep
When your love washes over me
Don’t know where it may lead
But I’ll go where it’s taking me
So, slowly as we walk away
I will hold onto every word you say

I’m breaking piece by piece
With your love rushing over me
I know I’m in too deep
And it’s not long until you leave
So, every time you walk away
I will hold onto every word you say

Imagine lyrics - Petula Clark

(originally by John Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

World will be as one
Just imagine...

Love Me Tender lyrics - Petula Clark

(originally by Elvis Presley)

Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.

Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
and we'll never part.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.

Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.

Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.

I Won't Care lyrics - Petula Clark

My feelings seem to come and go
like the airing flow every day living
Sometimes is good, but when is bad I feel so unforgiving
This crazy life we're living
it's like trying us when up strink keeps pulling you down
Don't see the point of it,
but the point of it is clear when you're around.

So clear, so clear and I've walk on in
Let the world go by,
I won't care

I won't care as long as
I have you riding out the storm and
Seat it through, calling I'll be there
follow you within well.
The wind and rain in my head.
I won't care

Seems it's all about pushing chuck,
little room for love all time to let it grow
but when I see your face
I see another place and that's where I wanna go
We meet, we kiss, and we're almost there
let the world go by

I won't care
I won't care as long as
I have you riding out the storm and
Seat it through, calling I'll be there
follow you within well.
The wind ..I'm right hand.

I wanna be locked in your love
and you can throw away he key
and I won't care, I won't care
as long as you care for me.

I won't care as long as
I have you riding out the storm and
Seat it through, I won't care
no no, I won't care
When the rain in my head
I won't care.
I won't care.

It's A Sign Of The Times lyrics - Petula Clark

It's a sign of the times
That your love for me is getting so much stronger
It's a sign of the times
And I know that I won't have to wait much longer

You've changed a lot somehow
From the one I used to know
For when you hold me now
I feel like you never want to let me go

It's a sign of the times
That you call me up whenever you feel lonely
It's a sign of the times
That you tell your friends that I'm your one and only

I'll never understand
The way you treated me
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be

Maybe my lucky star
At last decided to shine
Maybe somebody knows
How long I've waited to make you mine

Mm mm mm

I'll never understand
The way you treated me
But when I hold your hand
I know you couldn't be the way you used to be

Maybe my lucky star
At last decided to shine
Maybe somebody knows
How long I've waited to make you mine

It's a sign of the times
That you kiss me now as if you really mean it
It's a sign of the times
And a year ago I never could have seen it

Don't ever change your mind
And take your love away
Just leave the past behind
And, baby, only think of how it is today

It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times
It's a sign of the times

You're The One lyrics - Petula Clark

Every time we meet,
Everything is sweet
Oh, you're so tender
I must surrender
My love is your love
Now and forever

[CHORUS:]
You're the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you're the one that I really miss
You're the one that I'm dreaming of
Baby, you're the one that I love

Keep me in your heart
Never let us part
Ooh, never leave me
Please don't deceive me
I want you only
You must believe me

[CHORUS]

I adore you and no one before you
Could make me feel this way
Since I met you, I just can't forget you
I love you more each day

Whoa whoa, yeah yeah

There may be some tears
Through the comin' years
Ooh, all the while
I know you'll be smilin'
Your love will guide me
Through ev'ry mile
'Cause

[CHORUS]
[repeat and fade out]

Mad About You lyrics - Petula Clark

You have a way of seeing me
Reaching out, touching me
I never knew that love could be this way
No one else has had this power
I just want to share each sleeping
And each waking hour
Mad about you, mad about you
I'm mad about you, ooh
Mad about you, I'm so mad about you, ooh
I'm simply mad with love
I'm crazy for the sight of you
Crazy for the things we do
Give me more of the same
I'm mad about you, ooh
So mad about you, ooh
I'm simply mad with love for you

Out of my head with wanting you
All the time needing you
Losing my mind and heart and soul, I'm yours
No one else has had this power
I just want to share each sleeping
And each waking hour
Mad about you, I'm mad about you
I'm mad about you, ooh
Mad about you, I'm so mad about you
I'm crazy for the sight of you
Ev'rything I found with you
I'm like a moth 'round a flame
I'm mad about you
So mad about you

I see your face above the crowd
Loving you I feel so proud
I gotta say it again
I'm mad about you
So mad about you
I'm crazy for the sight of you
Crazy for the things we do
Give me more of the same
I'm, I'm mad about you
So mad about you
I'm crazy for the sight of you
Ev'rything I found with you
I'm like a moth 'round a flame
I'm mad about you, ooh
So mad about ......... [FADE]

The Other Man's Grass (Is Always Greener) lyrics - Petula Clark

Life is never what it seems
We're always searching in our dreams
To find that little castle in the air
When worry starts to cloud the mind,
It's hard to leave it all behind
And just pretend you haven't got a care

There's someone else in your imagination
You wish that you were standing in their shoes
You'd change your life without much hesitation
But would you if you really had to choose?

So, don't look around
Get your feet on the ground
It's much better by far
To be just who you are

The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But just be thankful for what you've got

Many times, it seems to me
There's someone else I'd rather be
Living in a world of make-believe
To stay in bed 'til nearly three
With nothing there to worry me
Would seem to be the life I might achieve

But deep inside, I know I'm really lucky
With happiness I've never known before
And just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothing more

Then living can start
With the love in your heart
So, with you all the time,
All the treasures I've longed for are mine

The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But I'm so thankful for what I've got

The other man's grass is always greener
The sun shines brighter on the other side
The other man's grass is always greener
Some are lucky, some are not
But I'm so thankful for what I've got

Give It A Try lyrics - Petula Clark

I will never be the one you seem to see in me
I try, God knows I try, but I don't make it, my baby
Can't you see (Can't you see) I can only be me
And ev'rything I am, I'm offering you
So throw away your fantasy and face reality like I do
Try to see the side of me that's lovin' you, baby
Try to see the side that you don't know
I could show you things you never imagined you ever would see
Why don't you give it a try (Give it a try)

I am not a fool, I've been around, I know the rules
So I smile, through it all I smile and try to take it
My baby, you need me (you need me), but you just gotta see
Affection is a dream that rarely comes true
And if you wanna touch the skies
You'll have to compromise, like I do
Try to see the side of me that's lovin' you, baby
Try to see the side that you don't know
I could show you things you never imagined you ever would see
Why don't you give it a try

Try to see the side of me that's lovin' you, baby
Try to see the side that you don't know
I could show you things you never imagined you ever would see
Why don't you give it a try (Give it a try)
Try to see the side of me that's loving you
Try-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y (Give it a try)
(Oooooh-oooooh-ooooh-ooooh) Won't you give it a try
Come on, baby, give it a try
(Ooooooh-ooooooh) Give it a try

Downtown lyrics - Petula Clark

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everything's waiting for you

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

So go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
You're gonna be alright now, downtown

Downtown
Downtown

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

So go downtown
Things will be great when you're downtown
Don't wait a minute more, downtown
Everything is waiting for you, downtown

Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown)

Romeo (Salome) lyrics - Petula Clark

I studied Shakespeare when I was at school
thought Romeo was a pet
Felt if I met him, I'd act like a fool
I'd be a poor Juliet

Now that I know him
I'm not really sure
Boy, you're as charming as he
Saying the same things to all the girls
Or is it just to me

Romeo
Why am I so in love with you
Romeo
Is it you or the things you do
I've been yours from the moment you said hello
Are you mine or just only my Romeo

I studied Shakespeare when I was at school
Thought Romeo was a joy
I liked the true way he loved Juliet
just my ideal of a boy

You know I like you as my Romeo that's how I want you to be
But if you're out on some other date can you be true to me

Romeo
Why am I so in love with you
Romeo
Is it you or the things you do
I've been yours from the moment you said hello
Are you mine or just only my Romeo

Sailor lyrics - Petula Clark

Sailor stop your roaming
Sailor, leave the sea
Sailor, when the tide turns
Come home safe to me

As you sail across the sea
All my love is there beside you
In Capri or Amsterdam
Honolulu or Siam To the harbour of my heart
I will send my love to guide you
As I call across the sea
Come home to me

Don't Give Up lyrics - Petula Clark

When love seems to get you down
When you can't turn around and run
You've got to stop and face the fact
That the heartaches have just begun
Because you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know what you've won yeah!

[CHORUS:]
Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend

When someone is on your mind
And you can't find the words to say
Don't put off until tomorrow, my friend
What you know you've gotta do today
Because you need love, you need love
And in time you'll discover the way yeah!

[CHORUS:]
Don't give up, don't let it get you down
Don't give up, don't think of leaving town
Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend

You know you need love, you need love
Keep on till you know what you've won yeah!

[CHORUS:]
Now don't give up, don't let it get you down

Don't give up, don't run away from it
Love will be yours in the end, my friend

Kiss Me Goodbye lyrics - Petula Clark

We choose it..win or lose it
Love is never quite the same
I love you..now Ive lost you
Don't feel bad..your not too late

So kiss me goodbye
And I'll try not to cry
All the tears in the world wont change your mind
Theres some1 new
And shes waiting for you
Soon your heart will be leaving me behind

Linger awhile...then I'll go with a smile
Like a friend who just happened to call
For the last time..pretend you are mine
My darling...kiss me goodbye

My darling..kiss me goodbye

I Couldn't Live Without Your Love lyrics - Petula Clark

You're the only one that I rely on
A shoulder there for me to cry on
And the hours alone that I'm without you
All I ever do is think about you

No one knows that you're so understanding
Even though my love is so demanding
Everytime you look at me
Then you'll know we'll both agree
That no other love could be

I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time

Didn't like you much when I first met you
But somehow I couldn't quite forget you
Said you didn't want a friend or lover
That your life was happy with another
But as time went by my love grew stronger
Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer
For I couldn't let you go
And I had to tell you so
That I loved you, then you'd know

I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time

Now the tears are gone and I'm not cryin'
When you say you love me you're not lyin'
So when people want to stare
I know I don't really care
Just as long as you are there

I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
I gotta have you all the time

A Sign Of The Times lyrics - Petula Clark

Colour My World lyrics - Petula Clark

You'll never see a dark cloud hanging round me.
Now there is only blue skies to surround me.
There's never been a gray day since you found me.
Everything I touch is turning to gold.

Oh, you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day!
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way!
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above!
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love!
Just colour my world.

Just as long as I know you're thinking of me,
there'll be a rainbow always up above me.
Since I found the one who really loves me,
everything I touch is turning to gold.

So you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day!
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way!
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above!
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love!
Just colour my world.
Um.

Sunshine yellow.
Orange blossums.
Laughing faces
everywhere!
Yeah!

Oh, you can colour my world with sunshine yellow each day!
Oh, you can colour my world with happiness all the way!
Just take the green from the grass and the blue from the sky up above!
And if you colour my world just paint it with your love.
Just colour my world.
Colour my world.
Oh, colour my world.
Colour my world!

Round Every Corner lyrics - Petula Clark

Round every corner.
Round every corner.
Round every corner.
Round every corner.
Round every corner.

Round every corner.
Round every corner.

Stop being sad now.
Life ain't so bad now.
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
While you're debating

round every corner!
(Round every corner!)

When Columbus sailed away to other shores,
how could he imagine all that waited for him?
Round every corner!
(Round every corner.)
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
Leave all the gloom days.
Think about the new days.
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
Everything is yours now,
open all the doors now.
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)

Man will soon be standing on the moon above!
Just imagine all the things that he'll discover!
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)

You've gottta stop a-sittin' there on the shelf!
You've gotta start lookin' there for yourself!
Yeah!
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
What's the use in crying?
Happiness is lying
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
And if you want a true love
look for a new love
round every corner!
(Round every corner!)

Just forget the worries that you leave behind!
There are many things to do
and you can find them
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)
Round every corner!
(Round every corner!)

Baby Lover lyrics - Petula Clark

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby lover
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby lover

When things go wrong, you understand
You make me strong with your tender hands
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby lover
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, I love you so

I was a vine without a rose
Now that you're mine, my happiness shows
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby lover
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, I want you so

Come swing with me in my cradle of dreams
Come share with me all of life's precious schemes

To ev'ry heart one love will come
To never part, and you are that one
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby lover
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, I love you so

Come swing with me in my cradle of dreams
Come share with me all of life's precious schemes

To ev'ry heart one love will come
To never part, and you are that one
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby lover
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, I love you so

Come swing with me in my cradle of dreams
Come share with me all of life's precious schemes

To ev'ry heart one love will come
To never part, and you are that one
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, baby lover, I love you so
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

My Love lyrics - Petula Clark

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky

My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love

Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind, no matter what I do
And every day it seems I want you more

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky

My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love

Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me
Once I thought you'd never come my way
Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be
For now I have to tell you everyday

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky

My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine
Softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean
Wider than the sky

My love is brighter than the brightest star
That shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world
That can ever change my love

This Is My Song lyrics - Petula Clark

Why is my heart so light
Why are the stars so bright
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you

Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me

I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
Its just the same old story
Thru all eternity

Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there's you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you

I Know A Place lyrics - Petula Clark

Every day when the work is behind you
and the shop and the store put the lock on the door,
just get away where your worries won't find you.
If you like, well, I'll tell you more.

Don't let the day get the better of you.
When the evening comes, there's so much to do!
You'd better put on your best and wear a smile.
Come along with me a while
'cause I tell you

[CHORUS:]
I know a place
where the music is fine and the lights are always low!
I know a place
where we can go.

At the door there's a man who will greet you.
Then you go downstairs to some tables and chairs.
Soon, I'm sure, you'll be tapping your feet
because the beat is the greatest there.

All around there are girls and boys.
It's a swingin' place,
a cellar full of noise!
It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow.
You gotta come along right now!
'Cause I tell you

[CHORUS]

[musical interlude]

Well, all around there are girls and boys.
It's a swingin' place,
a cellar full of noise.
It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow.
You've gotta come along right now!
'Cause I tell you

[CHORUS]

I know a place where we can go!
I know a place where the lights are low!
I know a place where we can go!
I know a place where the lights are low!

The Song Of My Life lyrics - Petula Clark

Everyone has a song, that belongs to their life
That will go on and on, through the years of their life
There's a wonderful song, one that you brought to me
And I look on this song, as my life's symphony

This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Something you said tenderly
Suddenly it's music for me
It springs from things that we share
Only through you is it there
I walk along day and night
Singing the song of my life

I can picture the past, that we knew yesterday
Every tear, every laugh, every step of the way
I recall what was wrong, and the things that were right
And each moment belongs, to the song of my life

This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life
Something you said tenderly
Suddenly it's music for me
It springs from things that we share
Only through you is it there
I walk along day and night
Singing the song of my life

This is the song of my life
It will go on through my life

Don't Sleep In The Subway lyrics - Petula Clark

You wander around
on your own little cloud
when you don't see the why
or the wherefore.

Ooh, you walk out on me
when we both disagree
'cause to reason is not what you care for.

I've heard it all a million times before.
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door.

Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
Don't stand in the pouring rain.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
The night is long.
Forget your foolish pride.
Nothing's wrong,
now you're beside me again.

You try to be smart
then you take it apart
'cause it hurts when your ego is deflated.
um-m-um-um-um-um
You don't realize
that it's all compromise
and the problems are so over-rated.

Good-bye means nothing when it's all for show.
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go?

Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
Don't stand in the pouring rain.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
The night is long.
Forget your foolish pride.
Nothing's wrong,
now you're beside me again.

Oh, oh, oh.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
Don't stand in the pouring rain.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'.
The night is long.
Forget your foolish pride.
Nothing's wrong,
now you're beside me again.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
[repeat chorus and fade out]

My Friend The Sea lyrics - Petula Clark

Oh you great ocean so deep, Oh you ocean so wide
I feel you are my friend so in you I confide
You know the world, every land, every shore
There's not a place you don't explore

Send every wave as it rolls on it's way
Searchin' high, searchin' low, searchin' each little bay
Send out a plea to the whole of seven seas
Where is the one I adore?

My friend the sea, be true to me
My love, one day sailed far away
My friend the sea, please ask the tide
To bring my love home to my side

Oh you great ocean so deep, Oh you ocean so wide
There are hearts you unite, There are hearts you divide
You know the world; Every river, mountain, stream
Look everywhere you've ever been

Ask all the fish as they swim out to sea
Would they pass on the word as a favor to me
Maybe they'll look out some little brook
And find the one I adore

My friend the sea, be true to me
My love, one day sailed far away
My friend the sea, please ask the tide
To bring my love home to my side

Happy Heart lyrics - Petula Clark

There's a certain sound
Always follows me around
When you're close to me
You will hear it

It's the sound that lovers
Finally will discover
When there is no other
For their love

It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near
Be my love

Take my happy heart away
Make me love you, make my day
In your arms I want to stay
All my love

Yeah'

Feeling more and more
Like I've never felt before
You have changed my life
So completely

Music fills my soul now
I've lost all control now
I'm not half, I'm whole now
With your love

It's my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near
Be my love

Take my happy heart away
Make me love you, make my day
In your arms I want to stay
All my love

It is my happy heart
You can hear my happy heart
In love uoohhhhhh

Aaaaahhhhh

Take me

Take my happy heart

Please be my happy heart

Eeehhhhhhh'

Call Me lyrics - Petula Clark

If you're feeling sad and lonely,
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

When it seems your friends desert you,
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

Now, don't forget me
'Cause if you let me,
I will always stay by you
You gotta trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do

If you call, I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

Now, don't forget me
'Cause if you let me,
I will always stay by you
You gotta trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do

If you call, I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever

Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around

You gotta call me
Call me now

The Windmills Of Your Mind lyrics - Petula Clark

Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
In the autumn of goodbyes
For a moment you could not recall
The colour of his eyes

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

The Show Is Over lyrics - Petula Clark

The show is over now
Our song is dying
This is the end my friend
There isn't any more

You played the part so well
There's no denying
For I believed each lie from lipps that I adore
I was a fool to feel that your love was real
But how was I to know it was just a great big show

The stage is empty now
the lights are fading
and as the curtain falls
my heart calls tell me why
the show is over now and here am I

[instrumental]

(I was a fool to feel that your love was real)
But how was I to know it was all a great big show

The stage is empty now
The lights are fading
And as the curtain falls
My heart calls tell me why
The show is over now and here am I

Chariot lyrics - Petula Clark

Chariot, Chariot, si tu veux de moi
Pour t'accompagner au bout des jours
Laisse moi venir près de toi
Sur le grand chariot de bois et de toile
Nous nous en irons
Du côté où l'on verra le jour
Dans les premiers reflets du ciel
Avant la chaleur du soleil
Sous la dernière étoile

La plaine, la plaine, la plaine
N'aura plus de frontière
La terre, la terre, sera notre domaine
Que j'aime, que j'aime
Ce vieux chariot qui tangue
Qui tangue, qui tangue
Si tu veux de moi
Pour dormir à ton côté toujours
L'été sous la lune d'argent
L'hiver dans la neige et le vent
Alors dis-le moi, je pars avec toi

La plaine, la plaine, la plaine
N'aura plus de frontière
La terre, la terre, verra notre domaine
Que j'aime, que j'aime
Ce vieux chariot qui tremble
Qui tremble, qui tremble
Si tu veux de moi
De ma vie et de mon fol amour
Le long des torrents et des bois
Au cœur des dangers et des joies
Alors dis-le moi, je pars avec toi

Cheerio lyrics - Petula Clark


Cheerio!
Cheerio!

Wunderbare Zeit
Leider morgen schon Vergangenheit
Warum muss der Abschied denn sein?
Warum lässt du mich nun allein –
So allein?

Wunderbare Zeit
Doch mein Herz bangt vor der Einsamkeit
Wohin soll ich ohne dich geh'n?
Wird alles noch einmal so schön?
Werd' ich dich wiederseh'n?

Adio, adio, adio
Dich locken fremde Sterne
Und Länder, so ferne
Und heißt es auch adio, adio, adio –
Uns trennen keine Sterne
Noch Länder so ferne!

Keiner kann's versteh'n
Warum wieder auseinandergeh'n –
Es gibt keine Antwort darauf
Das Schicksal nimmt doch seinen Lauf
Du hältst es nicht auf –
Du hältst es nicht auf!

Adio, adio, adio
Dich locken fremde Sterne
Und Länder, so ferne
Und heißt es auch adio, adio, adio –
Uns trennen keine Sterne
Noch Länder so ferne!

Morgen bist du weit
Habe Dank für diese schöne Zeit!
Ich weiß, dass ich dich nicht verlier'
Auch vieltausend Meilen von mir –
Mein Herz bleibt bei dir –
Für immer bei dir!

Cheerio!

Cranes Flying South lyrics - Petula Clark

The dew in your hair
The rain on a river
The cold morning air
And cranes flying south

We ran through the trees
And into the valley
And stood on the breeze
Like cranes flying south

To leave the world behind us
The coldness of dispair
The chains that try to bind us
Will vanish in the air

So touch me again
And drink at the fountain
Then over the mountain
Like cranes flying south

To leave the world behind us
The coldness of dispair
The chains that try to bind us
Will vanish in the air

So touch me again
And drink at the fountain
Then over the mountain
Like cranes flying south

Cross The Border lyrics - Petula Clark

They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
And if love shows us the way...maybe
The desert will bloom again.
I dreamed I was in Africa
beneath a cloudless sky
No food to feed my family,
No strength in me to cry

It was only a dream
thank GOD it won't come true
But the suffering I've seen
keeps haunting me through and through

But if love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way...maybe
Their suffering will not be in vain
I've seen the people searching
for an answer to their pain
I can still hear them praying
for the rains to come again
And they're willing to learn
if we're willing to teach
Deep beneath the earth
there is water within our reach

They say love goes where the stream flows
Love will cross the border
and if love goes all the way....they'll see
That land growing green again

They say love goes where the stream flows
Love can cross the border
And if love goes all the way....maybe
The desert will bloom again.

Darn That Dream lyrics - Petula Clark

Darn that dream
I dream each night
You say you love me and hold me tight
But when I awake and you're out of sight
Oh, darn that dream

Darn your lips and darn your eyes
They lift me high above the moonlit sky
Then I tumble out of paradise
Oh, darn that dream

Darn that one track mind of mine
It can't understand that you don't care
Just to change the mood I'm in
I'd welcome a nice old nightmare

Darn that dream
And bless it too
Without that dream I never have you
But it haunts me and it won't come true

Oh, darn that dream

Don't Make Me Over lyrics


(originally by Dionne Warwick)

Don't make me over
Now that I can't
Make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change
One thing about you

Don't pick on the things
I say,
The things I do
Just love me with all my faults,
The way that I love you
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you

Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side,
If I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me
At your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do

Just take me inside your arms
And hold me tight
And always be by my side,
Even if I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
No, don't make me over
Now that
You've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do
Accept me for what I am babe
Accept me for the things I do

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things I do

Eso Beso lyrics - Petula Clark


Eso beso ooh that kiss
Eso beso ooh that kiss
It's got something
Don't know what
But whatever it's got
It's got a lot

When we samba close like this
Ay caramba need that kiss
Hold me closer
And we'll soar
For the samba is the swingingest way
To make amor

As we dip and sway
And we caress this way
The samba seems to say
Like the samba sound
My heart begins to pound
I go off the ground
To where I'm poco loco

Eso beso ooh that kiss
Eso beso ooh that kiss
Miss me mucho and we'll soar
And we'll dance the dance of love
Forevermore
Eso beso

I Could Have Given You More lyrics - Petula Clark

I've got your note
Early today
Wished you said something before
I would have tried
To make you stay
I could have given you more
I could have given much more

If you had told me
Last night was our last night
I would have held you ever so tight
I would have told you
Words I've been saving
I would have said you're all I'm living for
I could have given you more
I could have given much more

This time I know
I would be smart
I was hurt bad once before
I was afraid
To lose my heart
For I have given you more
I could have given much more

If you had told me
Last night was our last night
I would have held you ever so tight
I would have told you
Words I've been saving
I would have said you're all I'm living for
I could have given you more
I could have given much more

I Dreamed A Dream lyrics - Petula Clark

I dreamed a dream in times gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung
No wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now to what it seemed
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed.
