tony orlando and dawn - candida

The stars won't come out if they know that you're about
'Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I ?
Just an ordinary guy
Tryin' hard to win me first prize

Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean

Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

The future looks bright, the gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there were you and I ... in a house, Baby, no lie
And all these things were yours, and they were mine

Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here, girl, the better
Where the air is fresh and clean

Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

Oh, my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean

Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

tony orlando and dawn - halfway to paradise

I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I've stayed
I'm only halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

I long for your lips to kiss my lips
But just when I think they may
You lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away, mmm

Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so

Put your sweet lips close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're gonna stay
Don't lead me halfway to paradise
Mmm, so near, yet so far away

Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
FADE
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away

tony orlando and dawn - knock three times

Hey girl,
Watcha doin' down there?
Dancin' alone every night,
While I live right above you?
I can hear your music plaing,
I can feel your body swaying,
One floor below me.
You don't even know me,
But I love you.

Oh my darling,
Knock three times,
On the ceiling if you want me,
Mmmm,
Twice on the pipe,
If the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness,
Knock three times,
Means you'll meet me in the hallway,
Mmmm,
Twice on the pipe,
Means you ain't gonna show.

If you look out your window tonight,
Pulling the string with the note that's attached to my heart.
Read how many times I saw you,
In my silence,
I adore you.
And only in my dreams,
Did that wall between us come apart.

Oh my darling,
Knock three times,
On the ceiling if you want me,
Mmmm,
Twice on the pipe,
If the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness,
Knock three times,
Means you'll meet me in the hallway,
Twice on the pipe,
Means you ain't gonna show.

Oh my darling,
Knock three times,
On the ceiling if you want me,
Mmmm,
Twice on the pipe,
If the answer is no.
Oh my sweetness,
Knock three times,
Means you'll meet me in the hallway,
Twice on the pipe,
Means you ain't gonna show.

tony orlando and dawn - mornin 039 beautiful

Mornin' Beautiful
It's morning and you're beautiful and
I just can't believe I'm laying here with you, girl
In my wildest dreams I've never thought I'd ever find
That one day I would wake up beside an angel

Mornin' Beautiful
Hey, look outside, the sun's a-shining
Every cloud is rolling back for you
You lay sleeping and my heart beats like the silver moon
I hear violins and angel voices singing

Mornin' Beautiful
Wake up, I've got some news to tell you
I'm in love with you and I want you to know girl
That I think you are the greatest love in all the world
And that you alone can bring my world together

I will never let you go, no
I love you, babe
More than you'll ever know
I love you, babe
And after lonely nights have fallen
You'll wake up and hear me calling
Mornin' Beautiful

In my wildest dreams I've never thought I'd ever find
That one day I would wake up beside an angel

Mornin' Beautiful
It's morning and you're beautiful and
I just can't believe I'm laying here with you, girl
Mornin' Beautiful
Hey, look outside, the sun's a-shining
Every cloud is rolling back for you

tony orlando and dawn - steppin out

No, I'm not upset, I'm not, lots of people get married
Please I'm in a hurry, won't you straighten my tie
I'll get by
She was something else, she was, now she's gonna get married
She's got herself carried off by somebody new
What can I do?

Don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, I'm gonna boogie tonight

Yes, I must admit we did, we looked so good together
Thought it would last forever but I'm a dreamer at heart
Dreams fall apart
Tell me where's my shoes, my groovy shoes
Enough about Diana, oh my sweet Diana
She's getting married today

Don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, I'm gonna boogie tonight

Oh my tender lips, they lied, they told me that she loved me
I'm just catching a cold, Ma
These aren't tears in my eyes

So don't worry 'bout me Ma, I'll be alright
See, I'm steppin' out, I'm gonna boogie tonight
Dancing and singing
Love songs 'til the dawn's early light
Oh, I'm stepping out, Ma, I'm gonna boogie tonight

tony orlando and dawn - tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree

I'm coming home. I've done my time.
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine.
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do if you still want me,

If you still want me,
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years.
Do you still want me?
(Still want me?)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus,
Forget about us,
Put the blame on me,
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Bus driver, please look for me,
'Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see.
I'm really still in prison, and my love, she holds the key.
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free.

I wrote and told her please,
Oh, tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
It's been three long years.
Do you still want me?
(Still want me?)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus,
Forget about us,
Put the blame on me,
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Now the whole damn bus is cheering,
And I can't believe I see,
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree.

I'm coming home, mm-hmm.

(Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree.

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree...)

tony orlando and dawn - who 039 s in the strawberry patch with sally

WHO'S IN THE STRAWBERRY PATCH WITH SALLY
Tony Orlando & Dawn

One day happy, one day sad
Feeling good, then feeling bad
in anger words are spoken
Then haste a heart is broken

who's in the strawberry patch with Sally
Now that she's not picking them with me?
Oh no, I don't care what they're doing there
Beneath the shade of the old apple tree

Hey, I bet they're laughing and talking love talk
Just like the way we used to do
Ah, who's in the strawberry patch with Sally
Whispering 'I love you'?

I can't take it, I just can't take it
It's driving me mad
Sally was the best love-maker
That I ever had
Who's in the strawberry patch with Sally?
Who's making love to her tonight?

I can't take it, I just can't take it
It's driving me mad
Sally was the best love-maker
That I ever had
Who's in the strawberry patch with Sally
While the Wabash moon is shining bright?

Had I been true to her
I'd be there now
In the strawberry patch with Sally tonight, oh yeah
In the strawberry patch with my Sally tonight

tony orlando and dawn - bless you

Every time I faced the world I just had to cry-y-y
I stood alone with no love of my own
But then you happened by

Oh, darlin', bless you
Bless every breath that you take (bless you)
Yeah-ah-ah, bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly (ooh-ooh)
And bless your little heart for lovin' me (bless you)
Ooh (bless you), bless you (bless you), bless you (bless you), child

Till you smiled and took my hand I felt kinda small
But you stood by me for the whole world to see
And then I was ten feet tall

Oh, darlin', bless you
Bless every breath that you take (bless you)
Mm-mm-mm, bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly (ooh-ooh)
And bless your little heart for lovin' me (bless you, bless you)

Oh, darlin', bless you
Bless every breath that you take (bless you)
Baby, bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly (ooh-ooh)
And bless your little heart for lovin' me

Baby, bless you
Bless every breath that you take (bless you)
Yeah-ah-ah, bless ev'ry move that you make so perfectly
FADE
And bless your little heart for lovin' me

tony orlando and dawn - he dont love you

CHORUS
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

Fare thee well, I know you're leavin' (I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down 'cause

CHORUS

He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's has so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play but wait

When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home

He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's try-in' to tear us apart

Whoa, he don't love you
FADE
