shirley bassey - all by myself

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Dont wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Dont wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Dont wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore

All by myself
Dont wanna be
All by myself anymore
All by myself
Dont wanna live
All by myself anymore

shirley bassey - fly me to the moon

Fly Me To The Moon
Shirley Bassey

Poets often use many words
To make a poem sing
It takes time, and thought and rhyme
To make a poem ring
With music and words I've been playing
For you I have written a song
But just to be sure you know what I'm saying
I'll translate as I go along

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me know what Spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing forever more
You are all I worship
All I long for and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Fill my heart with joy
And let me sing forever more
You are all I worship
All I long for and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

shirley bassey - love story

Love Story (Where Do I Begin)

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There?d never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angels? songs, with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I?m never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand-it?s always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I?ll need her till the stars all burn away
And she?ll be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I?ll need her till the stars all burn away
And she?ll be there

shirley bassey - mr kiss kiss bang bang

He's tall and he's dark,
And like the shark, he looks for trouble,
That's why the zeroes double,
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

He's suave and he's smooth
And he can soothe you like vanilla.
The gentleman's a killer.
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past.
Like a knife he cuts thro' life
Like every day's the last.

He's fast and he's cool.
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em...
A pity if it grieves 'em!
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool.

Oh, damoiselles and danger
Have filled the stranger's past.
Like the knife he cuts thro' life
Like every day's the last.

He's fast and he's cool.
He's from the school that loves and leaves 'em...
A pity if it grieves 'em!
Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's not a fool.
No, he's no fool.
He's no fool.
He is no fool.

shirley bassey - music

Music was my first love
And it will be my last
Music of the future
And music of the past
To live without my music
Would be impossible to do
'Cause in this world of troubles
My music pulls me through

To live without my music
Would be impossible to do
'Cause in this world of troubles
My music pulls me through

shirley bassey - after the rain

After the rains have gone
Something inside me
I know is dying for you
The sleet and the snow
Does this mean I know the way

After the rains have gone
Something inside me cries
What's behind that door
This girl just can't take it anymore
This girl just can't take it anymore

After the pain has gone
I finally open my eyes
Not crying anymore
We drifted apart
It's broken our hearts surviving

After the rains have gone
Something inside me cries
What's behind that door?
This girl just can't take it anymore
This girl just can't take it anymore

After the rains have gone
Something inside me cries
What's behind that door?
This girl just can't take it anymore
This girl just can't take it anymore

Oh, I just can't take
Got my love, don't want to fake
This girl just can't take it anymore
This girl just can't take it anymore
This girl just can't take it anymore

shirley bassey - all i ask of you

No more talk of darkness
Forget those wide eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you

Say you love me
Every waking moment
Turn my head
With talk of summertime

Say you need me
With you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you

All we need is freedom
A world that's warm and right
And you always behind me
To hold me and to hide me

Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude

Say you need me
With you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
That's all I ask of you

Say the word
And I will follow you
Share each day with me
Each night, each morning

Say you feel the way I do
That's all I ask of you

shirley bassey - all the things you are

Time and again I've longed for adventure
Something to make my heart beat the faster
What did I long for I never really knew?
Finding your love I found my adventure
Touching your hand my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is you

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I known are what you are
Someday my happy arms will hold you
And someday I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine

shirley bassey - almost there

If you're listening now
I hope that I make more sense
'cause now I'm not quite so young
I'm not quite so foolish in my defense

Pictures that I hid in my room
They now come out
And those places we used to go
I talk about

And now I'm not the girl of your dreams
Well, I took you almost there
I'll be damned if I care
Now if I'm not girl, we were almost there

Looks like I've lost you somewhere
And now I'm not the girl in your life

Well okay, maybe it hurts
And maybe I still feel my lips brush your face
What the hell, I'm not fool enough
To claim that I'm over you as yet

No, oh no
And though I've still got some way to go
Well, lately I'm almost there
I'll be damned if I care
Now that I'm not your girl, we were almost there

Watch me someday
Yeah, somehow I will make it somewhere
Going higher, I'll rise so much higher
And I'll hold my head higher

Almost there, that perfume that you wear
Now that I'm not your girl, we were almost there
Almost there

shirley bassey - alone again

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower

And climbing to the top
Will throw myself right off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered

Left standing in the lurch
At a church where people saying
"my god, it's tough, she's stood him up
No point in us remaining
We might as well go home"

As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, who wouldn't do?
The role I was about to play

As if to knock my down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt talk about
God in his mercy
Who if he really does exist
Why did he desert me?
In my hour of need

I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me
That there are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended left unattended
What do we do? what do we do?

Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears

And at sixty-five years old
My mother, god rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken

Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day

Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

shirley bassey - and i love you so

refrain:
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know

I guess they'll understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night want set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
Oh, but love is dead
That is my believe

And yes I know
How lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night want set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

refrain

shirley bassey - apartment

I'm runnin' away from cinderella
Don't want to go to rapunzel's hairdresser
Get me outta this, this, this here fairytale
According to me dreams are hell

I don't wanna kiss that faggot froggy
Don't want to fall in love with the beast or the beauty
Get me outta this, this, this here fairytale
According to me dreams are hell

All I want is an apartment
All I need is an apartment
If you've any leads on an apartment, tell me please
'cause I'm runnin' away from cinderella

I don't wanna fly on a dragon
God knows I've had so many drags, so many of them
Get me outta this, this, this here fairytale
According to me real life is swell

All I need is an apartment
All I want is an apartment
If you've any leads on an apartment, tell me please
'cause I'm runnin' away, I'm runnin' away
I'm runnin' away from cinderella

shirley bassey - as i love you

I will love you
As I love you all my life
Every moment spent with you
Makes me more content with you
Just as you are
You are all I could pray for
All that you are
That's what I wake up each day for

Every single touch and tingle I adore
Every kiss from you to me
Always seems so new to me
Each one warmer then the one before
As I love you more and more and more

Every single touch and tingle I adore
Every kiss from you to me
Always seems so new to me
Each one warmer then the one before
As I love you more and more and more

shirley bassey - as long as he needs me

As longs as he needs me
I know where I must be
I'll cling on steadfastly
As longs as he needs me
As long as life is long
I'll love him, right or wrong
And somehow I'll be strong
As long as he needs me

If you are lonely then you will know
When someone needs you you love them so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true just
As longs as he needs me

If you are lonely then you will know
When someone needs you you love them so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true just
As longs as he needs me

shirley bassey - ballad of the sad young men

Sing a song of sad, young men, glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again, kiss your dreams goodbye
All the sad, young men, sitting in the bars
Knowing neon nights and missing all the stars

All the sad, young men, drifting through the town
Drinking up the night, trying not to drown
All the sad, young men, singing in the cold
Trying to forget that they're growing old

All the sad, young men, choking on their youth
Trying to be brave, running from the truth
Autumn turns the leaves to gold, slowly dies the heart
Sad, young men are growing old, that's the cruelest part

All the sad, young men, seek a certain smile
Someone they can hold for just a little while
Tired, little girl, does the best she can
Trying to be gay for a sad, young men

While a grimy moon watches from above
All the sad, young men who play at making love
Misbegotten moon shine for sad young men
Let your gentle light guide them home again
All the sad, sad, sad, young men
