Same old show in a different town on another time
Ooh, wishing you were (Wishing you were here)
Even though you’re far away, you’re on my mind
Ooh, wishing you were (Wishing you were here)
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they’d never end
We’d sing and dance forever and a day
We’d live the life we choose
We’d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time rewritten every line?
And if we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me
Would we?
Could we?
This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn’t we?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn’t we?
This time I had the answer, right here in my hand
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand
Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I’m a lonely sailor out to sea
Drifting with the tide, never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Stop making sense, stop making sense
Stop making sense, making sense
I got a girlfriend that’s better than that
And nothing is better than this
Don’t you look at my girlfriend
(Girlfriend)
She’s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
(Girlfriend)
I’ve never seem to get a lot
(What she got in another land)
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze
I got a big fat mama, trying to break me
And I love to live so pleasantly
Live this life of luxury
Lazin’ on a sunny afternoon
It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you, how I cried
The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham, it seems
The years belie, we lived a lie
I love you 'til I die
Save me, save me, save me!
I can’t face this life alone
Save me, save me, save me!
I’m naked and I’m far from home
She is susceptible
He is impossible
They have their cross to share
Three of a perfect pair
It’s impossible
Tell the sun to leave the sky
It’s just impossible
It’s impossible
Ask a baby not to cry
It’s just impossible
It’s Impossible. Perry Como
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
Oh, baby, I’ve told every little star
Just how sweet I think you are
Why haven’t I told you?
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
I’ve told ripples in a brook
Made my heart an open book
Why haven’t I told you?
So tell me why, haven’t I, heard from you
Tell me why, haven’t I heard from you
Darlin’, honey, what is your excuse
Why haven’t I heard from you
There’s no problem gettin’ to me
Baby you can dial direct
I got call forwarding, call waiting
You can even call collect
I’m in the phone booth, it’s the one across the hall
If you don’t answer, I’ll just ring it off the wall
I know he’s there, but I just had to call
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone
Don’t leave me hanging on the telephone
Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright
Through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?
That’s what I’d say
I’d tell you everything
If you’d pick up that telephone
I put a nickel in the telephone, dialed my baby’s number
Got a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Each time I tried I got a busy tone, not my baby’s number
Just a brrr, brrr, brrr, brrr, busy line
Called his uncle in Jamaica
Left a message with the baker
Even checked the number in the telephone book
Got so awfully, awfully worried
To my baby’s house I hurried
When I looked inside, the phone was off the hook
Busy Line. Rose murphy
Sylvia’s mother says, “Sylvia’s busy, too busy to come to the phone.”
Sylvia’s mother says, “Sylvia’s trying to start a new life of her own.”
Sylvia’s mother says, “Sylvia’s happy, so why don’t you leave her alone?”
And the operator says, “Forty cents more, for the next three minutes.”
