I woke up this morning, the sun's shining brightly
And loving each leaf on each tree
Remembering the way that your lips touched mine lightly
Yes, your love is dawning on me
Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Yes, your love is dawning on me
Flowers are bloomin', the robin is singing,
And my heart is in harmony
The sweet things you said have all to my head
Oh yes, your love is dawning on me
Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Yes, your love is dawning on me
(instrumental)
Perfume and roses and blue skies and laughter
The world is a great place to be
What used to be sadness has turned into gladness
Yes, your love is dawning on me
Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Yes, your love is dawning on me
This Is It
(Ellie Greenwich/Tony Powers)
(Ah ah ah) She doesn't love me anymore
(Ah ah ah) She dosn't want my kisses
I know that this is it for me
(Ah ah ah) She doesn't want me anymore
(Ah ah ah) Somehow my touch just misses
I know that this is it for me
(So turn on the sun) I need the sunlight
(Ah ah ah) Need its glow to make things bright
Without her, every day is black as night
(And bring out the moon) I need the moonlight
(Ah ah ah) Brighter than it's ever shone
She's gone and I am so alone
(But she cried for me) When she cried for me
(Yes she cried for me) Yes she cried for me
(And she) wo wo oh oh (could've laid down and died for me)
(Ah ah ah) She doesn't love me anymore
(Ah ah ah) She dosn't want my kisses
I know that this is it for me
(This is it) Goodbye
(This is it) and so long, my little girl
(This is it) and I know, I know, I know
(This is it) That this is it for me

Tomorrow
(G. Richards/T. Daryll)
(Tomorrow) You will love again
(Tomorrow) Your tear-filled eyes will dry
Tomorrow (tomorrow) he'll come to you and then
You will forget I made you cry
(Tomorrow) Your broken heart will mend
(Tomorrow) He'll kiss your tears goodbye
Tomorrow (tomorrow) he'll take you by the hand
And you will forget I made you cry
I know I'm leaving you with a broken heart
But time will heal the wounds; you'll make a brand-new start
(Tomorrow) You'll wake up with the sun
(Tomorrow) You'll see a brand-new sky
Tomorrow (tomorrow) he'll hold you in his arms
And you will forget I made you cry
(Tomorrow)
Yes
(Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller)
Yes (yes), she said yes and what a surprise
Yes (yes), she said yes and then closed her eyes
Yes (yes), she said yes and opened her arms
Yes, she opened her arms and said yes
Yes (yes), she said yes and held me so tight
Yes (yes), she said yes with all of her might
Yes (yes), she said yes and smiled up at me
Yes, she smiled up at me and said yes
"Yes, you can hug me and yes, you can squeeze me
And yes, you can have my caress
Yes, you can hold me and yes, you can kiss me
And yes, oh yes, oh darling yes"
Yes (yes), she said yes and oh what a thrill
Yes (yes), she said yes and time just stood still
Yes (yes), she said yes and opened her arms
Yes, she opened her arms
Yes, she opened her arms and said yes
Come Dance With Me
(Tony Powers/M. Maurer)
Don't turn away; put him down, turn around and dance with me
Do like I say, don't you go; tell him no and dance with me
He may have walked you through the door
And he may be planning a whole lot more
But I'm gonna swing you 'round this floor; come dance with me
Look him straight in his eyes, put him wise and come on and dance with
me
I'll sit and wait till you do; when you're through, come dance with
me
Just 'cause he spent the dime to phone ya
And 20 bucks for the time he's shown ya
That doesn't give him the right to own ya; dance with me
I'm not the kind of guy who'd steal a fella's girl
But baby, your feet I need
And after taking just one look at you
I've turned into an ever-loving deed, aye!
You come into my arms, say goodbye to the guy and dance with me
Leave all your charms in my care, take your dare and dance with me
He may have brought you here, all right
Thinking he'd get to hold you tight
But you're gonna leave with me tonight, come dance with me
(instrumental)
(repeat last 3 lines of previous verse)
(repeat and fade):
Come dance with me
Why Can't You Bring Me Home
(A. Kasha/Hirshhorn/Wes Farrell)
Why do we always meet on the edge of town?
Why do we have to wait till the sun goes down?
Where do you live and why don't you even give me a place to go?
CHORUS:
Come on baby, why can't you bring me
Baby baby, why can't you bring me
Come on baby, why can't you bring me home?
Baby baby, why can't you bring me home?
I'll ask around but nobody knows for sure
But they agree that your folks are mighty rude
Are you ashamed of the way you were raised,
And that's why it stays unknown?
(chorus)
You may not wear such pretty clothes
But when you're in my arms, you love like a rose
What do I care if I see a broken chair?
Why do I need the best kind of silverware?
All that I need to make me complete is your tender love alone
(repeat chorus and fade)
Living Above Your Head
(M. Sanders/K. Vance/Jay Black)
Seems so strange, you're putting me through changes
Baby, I can't believe you're not the same sweet girl that I once knew
But baby, the change has come about and it don't look too good on you
It seems so strange, you're putting me through changes
Baby, you've started doin' things you should not be doin'
CHORUS:
Livin' above your head, girl; you're comin' on way too strong
You're livin' above your head, girl, and something has got to go wrong
Baby, don't think that I don't know you're runnin' out with other guys
And baby, though it hurts me so, you know that I'm still hypnotized
Don't let my pride kill all the love inside of me
Baby, you've started doin' things you should not be doin'
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat chorus and fade)
(He's) Raining In My Sunshine
(G. Allen/R. Dante)
See the raindrops falling, hear them fall so loud
Once I stood in sunlight; now darkness is my shroud
Rain never ever seemed to bother me
Trouble never came my way
The light of her love always followed me
Till her new love turned my world to gray
CHORUS:
Now he's raining in my sunshine, clouding up my sky
Yes he's raining in my sunshine, come between her and I
All at once he's taken everything that's mine
Now he stands beside her, he walks in my sunshine
Why did he have to go and steal my love?
Why did he take her away?
She was the only thing I had in life
She was my sunny day
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat last 2 lines of verse 2, then chorus)
JAY BLACK SOLO: What Will My Mary Say
(R. Vance/E. Snyder)
I must be going
My heart is showing
I better hurry away
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
Your lips are thrilling
My arms are willing
I know that I shouldn't stay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
What would I do if she should need me
And find me kissing you?
She's always trusted me completely
Her poor heart would break in two
(repeat verse 1)
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
(We'll Meet In The) Yellow Forest
(D. Carl/R. Whitelaw)
Saw you in the cloud late one night
Dancing for a living in blue light
You took a glance at me, we overlooked it
My eyes were searching for the secret as to whether we'd fit
And I said:
CHORUS:
We'll meet (we'll meet) in the Yellow Forest
There it will be where we both can see
We'll meet (we'll meet) in the Yellow Forest
There's a world that's made for you and me
Time went racing on as the month passed
I caught you once again in your dance act
Your attitude has changed, you smiled at me
Now I can tell where we both should be
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat chorus and fade)
Come A Little Bit Closer (Spanish version)
(Wes Farrell/Tommy Boyce/Bobby Hart)
En un pequeño cafe en el camino del río
Ya entran los ojos que me hicieron soñar
Más de pronto yo escuché una voz
Es la chica a la que quiere José
Pero no hice caso a esta voz y con ella bailé
Estribillo:
Ven mi amor a mí porque soló estás y te quiero
a ti
Ven mi amor a mí porque solo estoy sin tu loco amor
Y yo le doy un beso bajo un cielo azúl y estrellado
Y en mis brazos vivimos los dos muy enamorados
Una música nos llegó que al viento nos hizo escuchar
Con palabras que oimos con nuestro corazón
(estribillo)
Y aparece ya sin su música y solitario
Mi guitarra es la voz de José, «No va por los aires»
«Porque triste siempre quedó»
«Porque ella con otro marchó»
Y la voz de José no se oyó nunca más en el café
(estribillo)
Things Are Changing (For The Better)
(Brian Wilson/Phil Spector)
(spoken):
Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to?
Well, if you don't, listen; I'll tell you what to do:
Get your man, take him by the hand, and come on here to me
I'm here to tell you about equal opportunity
There was a time when the world was fickle
And it may have been hard to succeed
Well, times have changed now
And school and training is what you really need
It doesn't matter who you may be
Everyone's equal with the same opportunity
CHORUS:
Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better yourself
Life's got problems, but you can make it
And I'm gonna tell you why
Just like the early bird that catches the worm
You gotta get up, go out and try
Your race or color won't stand in your way
Don't wait for tomorrow; today is your day
(chorus)
(spoken):
Good jobs are out there, just waiting to be found
But they won't come to you, uh uh!
You gotta get up and look around!
(repeat last 2 lines of verse 2, then chorus)
(repeat and fade):
Things are changing for the better
