Richard Rodgers
Carpenters/Como Medley
[Carpenters]
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Magic moments
When two hearts are caring
Magic moments
Memories we've been sharing
I'll never forget the moment
We kissed the night of the hayride
I wish you forget that you love sleigh ride
Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder some starless night
And just in case you feel you want to hold her
You'll have a pocketful of starlight
[Perry Como]
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue
[Carpenters]
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
And tomorrow
Should you ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love
It's just impossible
[Perry]
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow
And yes, we've just begun
We've only just begun
[Carpenters]
And yes I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
[Perry: But I don't let the evening get me down]
[Both: Now that you're around me]
[Carpenters]
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart! (Don't let the mook break your heart)
Love blooms at night
In daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't keep your heart from me
For some day I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love! (He'll ever love)
I'll ever love
[Perry]
Every shalalala, every oho, oho
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing's
So fine
All my best memories come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
[Carpenters]
Till the end of time
[Perry]
Yesterday once more
[Carpenters]
No other love have I
[Perry]
We've only just begun
