Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Swinging On A Star

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Swinging On A Star

Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
And be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a mule?

A mule is an animal with long, funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And, by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule

Or would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar?
And be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a pig?

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He's got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

[Instrumental-first 3 lines of chorus]
Or would you rather be a fish?

A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool all the people is his only thought
Though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish

And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see, it's all up to you
You can be better than you are

You could be swingin' on a star

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - This Guy's In Love With You

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - This Guy's In Love With You

You see this guy,
This guy's in love with you
Yes I'm in love,
I love you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well,
How can I show you?
I'm glad, I got to know you 'cause

I heard some talk,
They say you think I'm fine
Yes, I'm in love,
And what I'd do to make you mine

Tell me now, is it so,
Don't let me be the last to know

My hands are shaking,
Don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love, in love, with this guy
If not I'll just die

Tell me now, is it so,
Don't let me be the last to know,

My hands are shaking,
Don't let my heart keep breaking 'cause
I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love, in love, with this guy
If not I'll just die

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Yes We Can Can

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Yes We Can Can

Now is the time for all good men to get together with one another
Iron out the problems and iron out their quarrels
And try to live as brothers
Try to find the peace within without stepping on one another
Do respect the women of the world, just remember we all had mothers

Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give

I know we can make it, I know darn well we can work it out
Yes, we can, I know we can can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we? If we wanna, yes, we can, can
I know we can make it work, I know we can make it, try
Yes, we can, I know we can can, yes we can make lot of money
Yes, we can, I know we can can

Take care of all the children, the children of the world
'Cause they're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls

Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give

I know we can make it, I know darn well we can work it out
Yes, we can, I know we can can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we? If we wanna, yes, we can, can
I know we can make it work, I know we can make it if we try
Yes, we can, I know we can can, yes we can make lot of money
Yes, we can, I know we can can

Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that we give

I know we can make it, I know darn well we can work it out
Yes, we can, I know we can can
Yes, we can, can, why can't we? If we wanna, yes, we can, can
I know we can make it work, I know we can make it if we try
Yes, we can, I know we can can, yes we can make lot of money
Yes, we can, I know we can can

Yes, we can, I know we can can
Yes, we can can, why can't we? Yes, we can can
Yes, we can, I know we can can
Yes, we can can, why can't we? Yes, we can can

Yes, we can, I know we can can
Yes, we can can, why can't we? Yes, we can can
Yes, we can, I know we can can
Yes, we can can, why can't we? Yes, we can can, yes we can

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Junco Partner

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Junco Partner

Down the road, come a junco partner
He was loaded as could be
He was knocked-out, knocked-out loaded
And he was singin' this song to me

Six months, he said ain't no sentence
One year, ain't no time
They've got boys locked up in Angola, well
Servin' one year to ninety-nine

If I had a million dollars
Let me tell you what I'd do
I would buy (buy buy buy) the land around Angola
And plant a nice weed garden 'til the year 2002

I want whiskey whiskey whiskey when I'm thirsty
I want water when I'm dry
I want my lover when I'm lonely
Give me a little heroin before I die
Throw in a little cocaine before I die
On the side

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - I Only Have Eyes For You

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - I Only Have Eyes For You

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'cause I only have eyes for you.

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
Cause I only have eyes for you

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
Cause I only have eyes for you

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Parade Of The Wooden Soldiers

The toy shop door is locked up tight
And everything is quiet for the night
When suddenly
The clock strikes twelve
The fun's begun

The dolls are in their best arrayed
There's going to be a wonderful parade
Hark to the drum
Oh, here they come
Cries everyone

Hear them all cheering
Now they are nearing
There's the captain stiff as starch
Bayonet's flashing
Music is crashing
As the wooden soldiers march
Sabers a-clinking
Soldiers a-winking
At each little pretty maid

Here they come, here they come
Here they come, here they come
Wooden soldiers on parade

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Little Farley

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Little Farley

Little Farley
Why you hangin' out so long
I can tell by the people
You're runnin' with
That you're singin' a different song

Little Farley
What you hidin' in your drawer
Don't you know that I know what you're doin'
And it ain't worth dyin' for

Little Farley
Why you takin' that to school
Livin' out your life in Angola
Really don't sound too cool

Little Farley
Why you want to take a life
That little girl they laid to rest today
She coulda been your wife

Little Farley
You know that don't belong to you
What you took in less than a minute
Mighta took him a month or two

Little Farley
A boy don't have to be a man
If you can't decide what you want to be
Then I'm tellin' you no one can

Little Farley
Think about it...

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Only You

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Only You

Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you

Only you, only you can make this change in me
For it's true you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

Only you, only you can make this change in me
For it's true, oh baby you are my destiny
When you hold my hand I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Just Kiss Me

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Just Kiss Me

Just kiss me
And forget all about that other stuff
Kiss me
Your big red lips, I think, will be enough

Don't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anyway

My lips are your color
So lips, stick with me!

Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me

Kiss me
And I'll take your lips to paradise
Kiss me
And paradise will never feel so nice

You're beautiful
You don't need all that make up
And you don't need to take up
All of your time in front of the mirror
Don't you know that you're my deara
Baby, can't you see we're in love

Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me

Kiss me
And put all the stars back in the sky
Kiss me
And maybe then you'll know the reason why
I want you
And my love's gonna haunt you
And I'm gonna flaunt you

In front of all the boys that live on my street
And they're gonna be jealous 'cause you're so sweet
Do you think I should repeat
Do you think I should repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Aw, say it, man!

I'm in love
Love
I'm in love

I'm in love
Sweet love

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - The Little Drummer Boy

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - The Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me
Pa rum pum pum pum
A new born king to see
Pa rum pum pum pum

Our finest gifts we bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the king
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

So to honor him
Pa rum pum pum pum
When we come

Little baby
Pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too
Pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring
Pa rum pum pum pum
That's fit to give to our king
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Shall I play for you
Pa rum pum pum pum
On my drum

Mary nodded
Pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for him
Pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for him
Pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

Then he smiled at me
Pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Something Was Missing

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Something Was Missing

I've made me a fortune
(That fortune made ten)
Been headlined
And profiled
Again and again
But something was missing
(I never quite knew)
That something was someone -
But who?

My speeches are greeted
With thunderous acclaim
At two universities
Bearing my name
Yes, something was missing
Each timeI got through
That something was someone -
But who?

Who could that someone be?
How could she make it known?
Who would need me for me?
Need me for me alone?
he world was my oyster -
But where was the pearl?
Who dreamed I could find it
Yes something was missing -
But dreams can come true
That something
Is no one
But you

Who would need me for me ?
Need me for me alone
The world was my oyster
But where was the pearl ?
Who'd dream I would find it
In one little girl ?
Yes, something was missing
But dreams do come true
That something is no one.....but you.

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Easy For You To Say

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Easy For You To Say

The sentimental sun in his teary sky
Says he doesn't want to shine today
You tell me to imagine myself with another lover
That's easy for you to say

The April that I knew with her cool soft rain
Has turned into a flowerless May
You tell me to go on with my life as if nothing's happened
That's easy for you to say

Maybe I should quote the letters that you wrote
I was your Mr. Right, if you recall
You tell me not to do it, but you're not going through it
I guess I'm not so right after all

The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
That's easy for you to say

The melancholy moon is awfully pale
And while his light is dim you seem OK
You tell me there are plenty of fish in the deep blue sea
But the only one I caught just got away
It's easy for you, easy for you
It's all so easy for you to say

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Over The Rainbow

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Over The Rainbow

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star and
Wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - It's Alright With Me

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - It's Alright With Me

It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not her face but it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me

It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile but it's such a lovely smile
That it's alright with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright with me

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Blue Christmas

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Blue Christmas

I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
They won't mean a think, if you're not here with me

I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas

You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Never Young

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Never Young

I wish you could have lived my life
No way to know
The fun I had
I ride in limousines
But it means nothing
I roll down the tinted glass
To see outside
I like to see how much I pass
On my roller coaster ride
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young

I wish you could have been right there
My future was the end of time
And all the girls I needed
Never knew me
I've fallen deep inside my well
Without a pail
And if you come to rescue me
I'll tell my fairy tale
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young

What curtains fall
On childhood stages
That never rise
To show the crowd
Things I drag
Throughout the ages
Never seem
To speak out loud
I wish that you were here right now

I guess I passed my chance away
A pallid grey is mostly what I see now
I live my life
And never stop to
Close the doors
And all time I never thought
Of living yours
It's hard to remember
Seems I was never young

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - The Blessed Dawn Of Christmas Day

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - The Blessed Dawn Of Christmas Day

The blessed dawn of Christmas day
As honestly as children pray
The warmth that melts the eve away
The holiness of afterglow

I rose to join the glorious morn
Whose calm and splendor would adorn
The virgin mother's infant born
The blessed dawn of Christmas day

The hearts of sinners reconciled
Amid the ancient morrow mild
Exalt the birth of Mary's child
The blessed dawn of Christmas day

I pray one day my heart will see
The light of God's eternity
And know that Jesus died for me
Now close, my eyes
So I may rise
At blessed dawn of Christmas day

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Save The Last Dance For Me

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Save The Last Dance For Me

You can dance
Every dance with the guy who gives you the eye
Let him hold you tight
You can smile
Every smile for the man who held your hand
'neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin' save the last dance for me
Well you can know
That the music's fine like sparklin' wine
Go and have your fun
Love and sing
But while we're apart, don't you give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you so much
Well you can dance
You can carry on till the night is gone
And it's time to go
If he asks
If you're all alone, can he take you home
You must tell him no

Cause don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Promise Me You'll Remember (Love Theme...)

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Promise Me You'll Remember (Love Theme...)

Promise me you'll remember
This love together today
We may not have tomorrow
It's not for us to say
Fate isn't kind to lovers
It breaks the hardest hearts
Promise you'll remember
How good we are

Why do I find the sadness
Under your sweetest kiss
Destiny seems to whisper
It won't stay like this

Whenever we're together
I feel time standing still
I only know I love you
And I always will
If we should lose each other
Somewhere inside the dark
Promise me you'll remember
How good we are

Whenever we're together
I feel time standing still
I only know I love you
And I always will
If we should lose each other
Somewhere inside the dark
Promise me you'll remember
How good we are

Time isn't kind to lovers
It breaks the hardest hearts
Promise me you'll remember
How good we are

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Once

Lyrics Harry Connick, Jr. - Once

Once
Is all I'll need to show you
Love making is an art
But once-made love
Won't be nearly enough
Once
I win your heart

Once
Upon a timeless romance
Love often was denied
But a thousand knights
Couldn't take me away
Once
I'm at your side

The world gets bigger as you look behind
Pouring in when you leave
You'll miss where you're going if you stare
I hope you're next to me
Watching it all go by
You'd get lost in all that world

Once
Just comes once in a lifetime
Then it becomes ago
All I ask is to kiss your lips
Once
And then you'll know
Once
And then you'll know
