I love to hear somebody play. On. A. Piano. And piano it simply carries me away. Show me how to do it Ralph. I. Love. The. Way. He plays this. Way. I love to watch his fingers on the keys. The reason with pedal he loves them not only music from Broadway. He's so delighted when he's invited. To his genius play. You. Keep your fiddle. And. You. Start. To. Cry. Your. Favor. And you. Don't give me. A.
Ride. To. An upright. My. So. They. Grab. My toe on. That. Song that Bing Crosby's favorite song of all of Mr. Dylan songs. I lost sunshine and roses. I've lost the heaven of blue. I lost the beautiful rainbow I lost
to lost the angel who gave me some of the whole winter through. I lost the glide ness that turned into song. Nah you know. As. We all. Know he wrote. The greatest entertainers in America. You know Ethel Merman and Bing Crosby and no one ever did more justice than this next great man. Beautiful songs. Mr. Fred this wonderful rhythm. The weather is frightening the thunder and lightning seem to be
having their way. But as far as I'm concerned it's a lovely day. The change in the weather will keep us together. I can honestly say. That as far as I'm concerned it's a lovely day. And everything's OK. Isn't this a lovely day to get caught in the rain. You are going on your way. Now you got to remain. Just as you were going. Leaving me to see. The clouds broke. They. Broke. Up a break for me. I can see the sun caught in the storm.
I can't see why you and I could see it was. So. Bad because it really doesn't matter if the sky is gray. As long as I can be with you. It's a lovely day. To day. Every. Day. With. That same. Fortunate man. You danced with him since the music began. To change. Scott. Dance with me. Must you. Quite so close. With no touching his face.
Can't you see going to be in his place. And. Dance with me. Ask God to send this one out. Well I love. The way you tell on these moms and my love for. You. Love. I. Heaven knows the way to say. You. Never want change. So. I can't. Seem to find the happiness I seek.
Out to get. To. See. Them Around Me. They. Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak. To. Get the chance to she. Doesn't. Have. This much. Dancing cheek to cheek. To high. The. Me. As. Much. As. I want my mother. Will. Never. Have my feet. So that I can. Be. Seen to find happiness. I see. What. I. See.
So. You know somebody might know that. I love to paint as much as I love to sing. And if I may we put some of my paintings together. With a song that. I. Stole from a great the melody. And it became a big hit song. So I'd love to show you some of my paintings. Take my hand. I'm a stranger. Paradise. Lost and I'm. A. STRANGER.
As. If I Stay. That's a danger. Paradise. Gardens is. Just like you. So your face. And I send. Out the common place. To. Say. As.
I. I know. There's a chance that you can. Do this. Or I'll. Do this strange road. Don't send me this. From all that I hunger for. But. A. Stranger dies. So.
That you can. To. Go. On. I. At. This moment. For. Me we have to do it from this moment. Oh. So. So. From this moment I. Got to love that I need so much. So. You've got the Sweetlips that kiss me. Well.
I. Got. The sweet lips to kiss me good. Here's. A. Song Frank Sinatra. And he said Tony please sing the song. I'm thrilled about it because it's one of my favorite songs. It's a beautiful song written by the great
Michelle. How do you keep the music. Playing. All. Do you make it. How do you keep a song from face. To. Face. Or do you lose some but. Never lose your way. No. Do you not run out of things to say.
Since we know we're always changing. Why. Should it be this way. Tell me all the. Time you. Know. No way. I feel for you. It's not. To. Love my mother
that I'm afraid. That in your eyes I may not see. Yet. If. One. Day to make it as a girl. With. Luck. Then. It was. Never.
I mean I know what I feel for you. It's not. My. Mother. You may not see. If. We can be in the best of luck. Yeah. Be. The. Best. Day to make good. That. As it grows.
With. Some. Z. Z. Z. Oh. I know what.
I. Know. George Burns the great American entertainer says you have to know when to get off the stage at the right time but you guys have been so beautiful and we keep going and I. Just think. I've just been guess you can tell by now I love to sing.
Along the way I've had a couple songs at the top of the charts and if I may I'd love to sing a couple of those songs for. Songs. All of us. Know where to go. Now you're here. Now. I know. Just. Go. No doubt. On my way. OK. Just in time. I. Just. Say Oh my. God. Oh. My. God. No doubt. Oh on
my way. Just. I. Guess. My. Long. Day. Have. A day at. A song and I found a great Britain. Who can I turn to when nobody needs me. My mom wants to know. And so. I must go. When destiny leads me.
No star to guide me. No. One. Beside me. Go on my way. God bless. Hi me. Maybe tomorrow. But I'll. Throw off my sorrow. Borrow my eyes so. I could learn. On a. Day. But. I. Know.
