matt monro - born free

Born free
As free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows
Born free to follow your heart

Live free
And beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
each time you look at a star

Stay free
Where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide so there's no need to hide

Born free
And life is worth living
But only worth living
Cos you're born free

Instrumental

Stay free
Where no walls divide you
You're free as a roaring tide so there's no need to hide

Born free
And life is worth living
But only worth living
Cos you're born free

matt monro - charade

When we played our charade,
We were like children posing:
Playing at games; Acting out names;
Guessing the parts we played.

Oh, what a bill we mad!
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill;
Lovers until;
Love left the masquerade.

Fate seemed to pull the strings;
I turned, and you were gone!
While from the darkened wings,
The music box played on.

Sad little serenade!
Song of my heart's composing.
I hear it still, I always will.
Best on the bill:
Charade!

Fate seemed to pull the strings;
I turned, and you were gone!
While from the darkened wings,
The music box played on.

Sad little serenade!
Song of my heart's composing.
I hear it still, I always will.
Best on the bill:
Charade!

matt monro - from russia with love

From Russia with love I fly to you
Much wiser since my goodbye to you
I've travelled the world to learn
I must return from Russia with love

I've seen places
Faces and smiled for a moment
But oh, you haunted me so
Still my tongue tied, young pride
Would not let my love for you show
I case you say no

To Russia I flew but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again
My running around is through
I fly to you, from Russia with love

1: I'm gonna build a mountain, from a little hill.
I'm gonna build a mountain, least I hope I will.

I don't know how I'm gonna do it, only know I'm gonna try.

Gonna make 'em both come true.

matt monro - he ain 039 t heavy he 039 s my brother

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

The road is long
With many winding turns
That leads us to
Who knows where, who knows where

But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me, oh no.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all
Then I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with gladness
Or love for one another

It's a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?

And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all

He ain't heavy, he's my brotherr

matt monro - how soon

If this should be a dream
Then let me dream along,
For in my dream my every wish comes true.

I dream that you are near,
That you have never gone,
And hand in hand I walk with you.

*As the blue of night turns into day,
Must you loveliness just fade away?

Say you will be mine
Until the end of time;
Then no more will I need to pretend.
Our love will be a dream that will never end.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)

As the blue of night turns into day,
Must you loveliness just fade away?

Say you will be mine
Until the end of time;
Then no more will I need to pretend.
Our love will be a dream that will never end.

matt monro - if this should be a dream

(Chorus)
Let everything that,
everything that,
everything that has breath
praise the Lord
(Repeat)

Praise you in the morning,
praise you in the evening,
praise you when I'm young and when I'm old.
Praise you when I'm laughing,
praise you when I'm grieving,
praise you every season of the soul.
If we could see how much YAou're worth
Your Power, Your might, your endless love
than surely we would never cease to praise.

(Chorus)
Let everything that,
everything that has breath
praise the Lord
(Repeat)

Praise you in the heavens,
joining with the angels,
praising you forever and a day.
Praise you on the earth now,
joining with creaton,
calling all the nations to your praise.

Chorus

If they could see how much you're worth
wour power, your might, your endless love
then surely they would never cease to praise

matt monro - moment to moment

From moment to moment every moment that I live
I live for every moment with you
To see you, to touch you, to imagine this will be
The moment when a dream comes true
Just an ordinary day becomes adventure
Such sweet adventure I never knew

And life will be rainbows as I learn the secret of
The miracle that love can do
From moment to moment with you

And life will be rainbows as I learn the secret of
The miracle that love can do
From moment to moment with you

(do filme The Sandpiper)

matt monro - my kind of girl

She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
And her hair has a kind of curl
To my mind shes my kind of girl .

Shes wise like an angel's wise
With eyes like an angel's eyes
And her smile's like a kind of pearl
To my mind shes my kind of girl

CHORUS
Pretty little face -
That face just knocks me off-a my feet
Pretty little feet -
Shes really sweet enough to eat.

She looks like an angel looks
She even cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

REPEAT CHORUS
She looks like an angel looks
She even cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

And my heart's kinda filled with joy
Because she told me I'm her kind of boy

matt monro - softly as i leave you

Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there

(Softly, long before you kiss me)
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
(For one more hour) or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there
As I leave I you there

matt monro - sweet lorraine

I just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
When he's playing with his choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine

She's got a pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer sky
When you see her you're gonna realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine

When it's raining I don't miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie's smile
Just think that I'm the lucky one
Who will lead her down the aisle

Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry my Lorraine

When it's raining I never miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie smile
Just the think that I'm the lucky one
Who's gonna lead her down the aisle

Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
That'll be the day when I marry my Lorraine

matt monro - the green leaves of summer

A time to be reaping
A time to be sowing
The green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
It was good to be young, then
In the season of plenty
When the catfish were jumping
As high as the sky

A time just for planting
A time just for ploughing
A time to be courting a girl of your own
Twas so good to be young, then
To be close to the earth
And to stand by your wife
At the moment of birth

Twas so good to be young, then
To be close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home
Twas so good to be young, then
To be close, close to the earth
Now the green leaves of summer
Are calling me home

matt monro - the impossible dream

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
The reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world would be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

matt monro - the long and winding road

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD
THAT LEADS TO YOUR DOOR
WILL NEVER DISAPPEAR
I´VE SEEN THAT ROAD BEFORE
IT ALWAYS LEADS ME HERE
LEAD ME TO YOUR DOOR

THE WILD AND WINDY NIGHT
THAT THE RAIN WASHED AWAY
HAS LEFT A POOL OF TEARS
CRYING FOR THE DAY
WHY LEAVE ME STANDING HERE
LET ME KNOW THE WAY

MANY TIMES I´VE BEEN ALONE
AND MANY TIMES I´VE CRIED
ANYWAY YOU´LL NEVER KNOW
THE MANY WAYS I´VE TRIED

BUT STILL THEY LEAD ME BACK
TO THE LONG WINDING ROAD
YOU LEFT ME STANDING HERE
A LONG LONG TIME AGO
DON´T KEEP ME WAITING HERE
LEAD ME TO YOUR DOOR

BUT STILL THEY LEAD ME BACK
TO THE LONG WINDING ROAD
YOU LEFT ME STANDING HERE
A LONG LONG TIME AGO
DON´T KEEP ME WAITING HERE
LEAD ME TO YOUR DOOR
