ray conniff - all i have to do is dream

La, la, la, dream, dream, dream, when I want you in my arms, when I want you and now your charms
Whenever I want you all I have to do is la, la, la, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night and I need you to hold me tight, whenever I want you, all I have to do is dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine anytime, night or day, only trouble is, gee whiz, I'm dreaming my life away
I need you so that I could die, I love you so and that is why, whenever I want you, all I have to do is la, la, la, dream, dream, dream of you

ray conniff - april in portugal

Oh, I found my April dream
In Portugal with you
When we discovered romance
Like I never knew
My head was in the clouds
My heart went crazy too
And madly I said
"I love you"

Too soon I heard you say:
"This dream is for a day"
That's Portugal
And love in April
And when the showers fell
Those tears I know so well
They told me
It was spring fooling me

I found my April dream
In Portugal with you
When we discovered romance
Like I never knew
Then morning brought the rain
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says
"I love you"

Da-da, da-da-da-da

Then morning brought the rain
And now my dream is through
But still my heart says
"I love you"

But still my heart
Says "I love you"

Da-da

ray conniff - days of wine and roses

The days of wine and roses, laugh and run away, like a child at play, through a meadowland, toward a closing door
A door marked â??never moreâ?? that wasnt there before
The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze, filled with memories of the golden smile that introduced me to
To the days of wine and roses and you

(Do filme Vício Maldito)

ray conniff - blowin in the wind

Verse 1

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they've forever banned?

Chorus
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.

Verse 2
How many times must a man look up
Before ha can see the sky?
How many tears must hehave shed
Before he vcan hear the peopla cry?
How many wars will it take till he learns
that too many peopla have died.

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?

(Repeat Chorus)

ray conniff - 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 hit we made, 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

ray conniff - bridge over troubled water

When you're weary, feeling small, when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough and friends just can't be found, like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down
When you're down and out, when you're on the street, when evening falls so hard, I will comfort you, the whole life through
I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes and pain is all around, like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl, sail on by, your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way
See how they shine, oh, if you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind, like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

ray conniff - edelweiss

Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me, small and white, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow forever, Edelweiss, Edelweiss, bless my homeland forever

ray conniff - delta dawn

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
and did i hear you say he was a meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky-eye

she's 41 and her daddy still calls her baby
all the folks 'round brownsville say she's crazy
cause she walks downtown with her suitcase in her hand
lookin for a mysterious dark haired man

in her younger days they called her delta dawn
prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
when a man of low degree stood by her side
promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
and did i hear you say he was a meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky -eye

delta dawn what's that flower you have on
could it be a faded rose from days gone by
and did i hear you say he was meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky eye

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
and did i hear you say he was a meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky eye

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
and did i hear you say he was a meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky eye

Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
and did i hear you say he was a meeting you here today
to take you to his mansion in the sky eye

ray conniff - early in the morning

Evening is the time of day I find nothing much to see, don't know what to do, but I come to when it's early in the morning
Over by the window day is dawning when I feel the air, I feel that life is very good to me, you know
In the sun, there is so much yellow, something in the early morning meadow
Tells me that today you're on your way and you'll be coming home, home to me
Night time isn't clear to me, I find nothing near to me, don't know what to do but I come to when it's early in the morning
Very, very early without warning I came feel a newly born vibration sneaking up on me again
There's a song bird on my pillow I can see the fun in weeping willow
I can see the sun you're on your way and you'll be coming home, home to me

ray conniff - everybody s talkin

Everybody's talking at me, I don't hear a word they're saying, only the echoes of my mind
People stop in staring, I can't see their faces, only the shadows of their eyes
I'm going where the sun keeps shining through the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind, sailing on summer breeze, skipping over the ocean like a storm
I'm going where the sun keeps shining through the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes
Backing off of the North East wind, sailing on summer breeze, skipping over the ocean like a storm, everybodyâ??s talkinâ?? at me

ray conniff - goodbye yellow brick road

When are you going to come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm,
I should have listened to my old man.

You know you can't hold me forever,
I didn't sign up with you.
I'm not a present for your friends to open,
This boy's too young to be singing the blues.

So goodbye yellow brick road,
Where the dogs of society howl.
You can't plant me in your penthouse,
I'm going back to my plough.

Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
Hunting the horny back toad.
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then?
I bet that'll shoot down your plane.
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement,
There's plenty like me to be found.
Mongrels, who ain't got a penny,
Sniffing for tid-bits like you on the ground

ray conniff - dear father be

Dear father, we dream, we dream, we dream while we may
Who are we to need, we need we need while we wait, while we wait
Lost on a painted sky where the clouds are hung for the poet's eye, you may find him, if you may find him
There on a distant shore, by the wings of dreams, through an open door you may know him, if you may
Be as a page that aches for a word which speaks on a theme that is timeless and the one god will make for your day
Oh, weâ??ll dance (dear father), to a whispered voice (we dream), overheard by the soul, undertook by the heart (we dream)
And you may know it (we dream), if you may know it while the sand (dear father) would become the stone (we dream)
Which begat the spark turned to living bone (we dream) some poor, some cool be (dear father we dream) try to find your way

(Do filme Jonathan Livingston Seagull)

ray conniff - golden earrings

Golden Earrings
Bobby Darin

There's a story the Gypsies know is true
That when your love wears golden earrings
She belongs to you
An old love story that's known to very few
But if you wear these golden earrings
Love will come to you
By the burning fire they will glow with every coal
You will hear desire whisper low inside your soul
So be my Gypsy
Make love your guiding light
And let this pair of golden earrings cast their spell tonight
By the burning fire they will glow with every coal
You will hear desire whisper low in your soul
So be my Gypsy
Make love your guiding light
And let this pair of golden earrings cast their spell tonight
Let this pair golden earrings cast their spell tonight
Let this pair golden earrings cast their spell tonight
