When you wish upon a star
Dreams will take you very far, yeah
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain’t always what it seems, oh yeah
What’d you see, on nights so clear
In the sky, so very dear, yeah
You’re a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
(What you could truly be)
The moon shook and curled up like gentle fire
The ocean glazed and melted wire
Voices buzzed in spiral eyes
Stars dived in blinding skies
Stars die
Blinding sky
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
Now I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord’ll take you away
[Ahhh, one of my least fave mondegreens, “Sing woman”: since S. Tyler mumbles his way through that particular lyric, we’ll never know for sure, oh weel…]
Scheherazade bewitched him
With songs of jeweled keys
Princes and of heroes
And eastern fantasies
Told him tales of sultans
And talismans and rings
A thousand and one nights she sang
To entertain her king
She sings
Scheherazade
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting a-ling a-linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just-a-like-a tear drops
Running from her head
My heart Is cryin’, cryin’
Lonely teardrops
My pillows never dry of
Lonely teardrops
Come home, come home
Just say you will, say you will (say you will)
Say you will (say you will)
Hey, Hey (say you will)
He’ll never love you, the way that I love you
‘Cause if he did, no no, he wouldn’t make you cry
He might be thrillin’ baby but a-my love
(My love, my love)
So dog-gone willin’, so kiss him
(I wanna see you kiss him, wanna see you kiss him)
Go on and kiss him goodbye, now
Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
He don’t love you like I love you
‘Cause if he did, he wouldn’t break your heart
He don’t love you like I love you
He’s tryin’ to tear us apart
You know, she came to see him one last time (ooh)
Ah, and we all wondered if she would (ooh)
And it kept runnin’ through my mind (ooh)
“This time he’s over her for good”
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
Love, it seems like only yesterday
You were just a child at play
Now you’re all grown up inside of me
Oh, how fast those moments flee
Once we watched a lazy world go by
Now the days seem to fly
Life is brief, but when it’s gone
Love goes on and on
Here’s the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don’t miss the boat
It’s leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you’re blind, move aside from me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you
I’ve been movin’
I’ve been movin’
Down a dusty road along a railroad line
In the spring, fall, winter, and the summertime
‘Cross the river and a creek and the mountain peak
In the alley and the valley every day of the week
I’ve been movin’
I’ve been movin’
Ah but workin’ too hard can give you a heart attack
Ack-ack-ack-ack-ack
You oughta know by now
(You oughta know by now)
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?
And it seems such a waste of time
If that’s what it’s all about
Mama, if that’s movin’ up then I’m movin’ out
I’m movin’ out, mm mm
Ooh-ooh, uh-huh, mm
Wasting my time
Resting my mind
And I’ll never pine
For the sad days and the bad days
When we was workin’ from nine to five
Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don’t belong to me
Your heart belongs to someone else
Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you’re not true?
And why should I call your name
When you’re to blame
For making me blue?
You belong to my heart
Now and forever
And our love had its start
Not long ago
We were gathering stars
While a million guitars
Played our love song
When I said “I love you”
Every beat of my heart
Said it, too
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together (we belong)
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
When you hear the sound of thunder
Don’t you get too scared
Just grab your thunder buddy
And say these magic words
As the stars start to align
I hope you take it as a sign
That you’ll be okay
Everything will be okay
