Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those cats were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightening, but they fought with expert timing
There were funky China men from funky Chinatown They were trapping bend up, they were trapping bend down It's an ancient Chinese art, and everybody knew their part For my friend, ain't you a stiff, then I'm kickin' from the hip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightening, but they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billy Jim and little Sammy John He said, here comes the big boss, let's get it on He took the bow and made a stand, started swaying with the hand A sudden motion made me stiff, now we're into a brandnew trip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightening, but they did it with expert timing
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning In fact it was a little bit frightening, make sure you have expert timing
Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start We're in a world, our very own Sharing a love that only few have ever known
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/andy+williams/speak+softly+love_20007905.html ] Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all becau-au-se You came into my world with love so softly love
(instrumental interlude>
Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one
Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all becau-au-se You came into my world with love so softly love
And now the end is near
So I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too
few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exception
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
Oh, and more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the words he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Standing in the deck at Southhampton
Trying to get holland or france
The man in the mac said, "you've got to go back"
You know they didn't even give us a chance
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be
The way things are going they're going to crucify me
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the seine
Peter brown called to say,"you can make it ok,
You can get married in gibraltar near spain"
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be
The way things are going they're going to crucify me
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds for a week
The newspaper said "say what're you doin' in bed?"
I said "we only try to get us some peace"
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be
The way things are going they're going to crucify me
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to the charity
Last night the wife said "oh, boy when you're dead,
You don't take nothing with you, but your soul,
Think!"
Made a lightning trip to vienna
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
The newspaper said "she's gone to his head,
They look just like 2 gurus in drag"
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be
The way things are going they're going to crucify me
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
The men from the press said " we wish you success,
It's good to have the both of you back"
Christ you know it ain't easy, you know how hard it can be
The way things are going they're going to crucify me
Gotta catch that plane at 7:30 Why haven't you come to say goodbye Time is running out and I'm still waiting I am so lost without you, I could die Yesterday you said you loved me Everything seemed to be fine Today you are not here, I am so lonely It's the waiting that's driving me Out of my mind
Don't know how I'll sing in that big city How can I perform if you are not there This will be the worst of all my journeys The image of your face will follow me everywhere
I need your tender kisses The feel of your hands, your caress Your perfume has me burning My heart is yearning to touch you I need you so much
If you're not here, by my side Can't hold back the tears I try to hide Don't think I can take it I know I won't make it Make it without you If you're not here, by my side Only your love, keeps me alive No sense in dreaming My life has no meaning If you're not here
I need your tender kisses The feel of your hands, your caress Your perfume has me burning My heart is yearning to touch you I need you so much
If you're not here, by my side Can't hold back the tears I try to hide Don't think I can take it I know I won't make it Make it without you If you're not here, by my side Only your love, keeps me alive No sense in dreaming My life has no meaning If you're not here
