  • I Saw Her Standing There (Lennon/McCartney)

    1 - 2 - 3 - 4 !
    Well, she was just 17,
    And you know what I mean,
    And the way she looked was way beyond compare
    So how could I dance with another (ooh)
    And I saw her standin' there

    Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
    That before too long I'd fall in love with her
    She wouldn't dance with another (ooh)
    And I saw her standin' there


    Well, my heart went "boom"
    When I crossed that room
    And I held her hand in mine...


    Whoah, we danced through the night
    And we held each other tight
    And before too long I fell in love with her
    Now I'll never dance with another (ooh)
    Since I saw her standing there


    Well, my heart went "boom"
    When I crossed that room
    And I held her hand in mine...


    Whoa, we danced through the night
    And we held each other tight
    And before too long I fell in love with her
    Now I'll never dance with another (ooh)
    Since I saw her standing there

    Misery (Lennon/McCartney)

    The world is treating me bad... misery


    I'm the kind of guy
    Who never used to cry
    The world is treatin' me bad... misery

    I've lost her now for sure
    I won't see her no more
    It's gonna be a drag... misery

    I'll remember all the little things we've done
    Can't she see she'll always be the only one, only one


    Send hewr back to me
    'Cause everyone can see
    Without her I will be in misery

    I'll remember all the little things we've done
    She'll remember and she'll miss her only one, lonely one

    Send her back to me
    'Cause everyone can see
    Without her I will be in misery (oh oh oh)
    In misery (ooh ee ooh ooh)
    My misery (la la la la la la)

    You give back your ring to me, and I will set you free
    Go with him

    And it's true that it really only goes to show
    That I know
    That I, I, I, I should never, never, never be blue

    Now you're mine, my happiness still makes me cry
    And in time, you'll understand the reason why
    If I cry
    It's not because I'm sad, but you're the only love that I've ever had

    I can't conceive of any more misery

    A Taste of Honey (Scott/Marlow)

    A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

    I dream of your first kiss, and then
    I feel upon my lips again
    A taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

    I will return, yes I will return
    I'll come back for the honey and you

    Yours was the kiss that awoke my heart
    There lingers still, 'though we're far apart
    That taste of honey... tasting much sweeter than wine

    I will return, yes I will return
    I'll come back (he'll come back) for the honey (for the honey) and you

    There's A Place (Lennon/McCartney)

    There is a place
    Where I can go
    When I feel low
    When I feel blue
    And it's my mind
    And there's no time when I'm alone

    I think of you
    And things you do
    Go 'round my head
    The things you said
    Like "I love only you"

    In my mind there's no sorrow
    Don't you know that it's so
    There'll be no sad tomorrow
    Don't you know that it's so

    There is a place
    Where I can go
    When I feel low
    When I feel blue
    And it's my mind
    And there's no time when I'm alone

    There's a place...
