Close to You lyrics
Close to You lyrics, words and music by Burt Bacharach & Hal David
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh I’d step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
Outrageous alarming courageous charming
Oh who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It’s just amazing how fair people can be
Lyrics to Some Enchanted Evening – a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical ‘South Pacific’. In the show, it is sung as a solo by Emile de Becque, the French plantation owner, who falls in love with the American navy nurse Nellie Forbush. In this song, he sings of seizing the moment so that it won’t slip away.

It almost breaks my heart
— Cause I’m so afraid
That we will have to part
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
Chorus:
Brigadoon, Brigadoon,
Blooming under sable skies.
Brigadoon, Brigadoon,
There my heart forever lies.
Let the world grow cold around us,
Let the heavens cry above!
Brigadoon, Brigadoon,
In thy valley, there’ll be love!

Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead is one of the best-known songs from The Wizard of Oz — which, oddly enough doesn’t have any of the major characters singing in the number. Oddly enough, one of the voices dubbed for the Munchkins belongs to Pinto Colvig, the voice of Walt Disney’s Goofy, Popeye’s Bluto, and the original Bozo the Clown.Read More »Ding Dong!
