1.My Way
Written：Paul Anka／Claude Francois Ravaux／Gilles Thibault
Arranger：Don Costa
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
'No, oh no not me,
I did it my way'.
For what is a man, what has he got？
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
2.A Man Alone
Lyrics：Rod Mckuen
Music：Rod Mckuen
Arranger：Don Costa
In me you see a man alone
Held by the habit of being on his own
A man who listens to the trembling of the trees
With sentimental ease
In me you see a man alone
Behind the wall he's learned to call his home
A man who still goes walking in the rain
Expecting love again.
A man not lonely
Except when the dark comes on
A man learning to live with
Memories of midnights
That fell apart at dawn
In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Only other people's dreams.
A man learning to live with
Memories of midnights
That fell apart at dawn
In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Just other people's dreams.
3.Cycles
Lyrics：Gayle Caldwell
Music：Gayle Caldwell
Arranger：Don Costa
So I'm down and so I'm out
But so are many others
So I feel like tryin' to hide
My head 'neath these covers
Life is like the seasons
After winter comes the spring
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings
I've been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin'
And even when my chips are low
There's still some left for givin'
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you
So I think I'll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true
There isn't much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles
First there's laughter, then those tears
But I'll keep my head up high
Although I'm kinda tired
My gal just up and left last week
Friday I got fired
You know it's almost funny
But things can't get worse than now
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing
But please, just don't ask me how
4.Bein' Green
Lyrics：Joe Raposo
Music：Joe Raposo
Arranger：Don Costa
It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standin' out like flashy sparkles on the water
Or stars in the sky
But green is the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder？
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder？
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
5.Love's Been Good To Me
Lyrics：Rod Mckuen
Music：Rod Mckuen
Arranger：Don Costa
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Denver
Before the summer storm
Oh, her eyes were tender
Oh, her arms were warm
And she could smile away the thunder
Kiss away the rain
Even though she's gone away
You won't hear me complain
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Portland
Before the winter chill
We used to go a-courtin'
Along October hill
And she could laugh away the dark clouds
Cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday
As down the road I go
I've been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me
6.I'm Not Afraid
Lyrics：Rod Mckuen／Jacques Brel
Music：Jacques Brel
Arranger：Lennie Hayton
One afternoon I came to hear
You sing a soft song into my ear
Who would have thought quite by chance
We might engage in a loving dance？
Coming together, coming apart
Lost in diversions, dancing stars
Caught in the quiet, off on our own
Coming together, standing alone
Are you afraid？
I'm not afraid
What about you, what about me？
Two years from now where will we be？
Each of us gone our separate ways
Lost in a headlong passage of days
Maybe we might give love a try
Extending the moment before 'goodbye'
And for a gentle moment in time
We'll take what pleasure people can find
Are you afraid？
I'm not afraid
What is for real, what is false？
All of us seem to be caught in a waltz
Turning around, turning again
When will the dancing ever end？
As for us, you and me
Our eyes are open, we can see
Both of us know where we've been
Why must we both go dancing again？
Come join the dancing, come join the waltz
Don't look too closely at my faults
Why can't I die here in your arms？
Safe from the night and safe from the dawn
Back to the nothing that had no name
Back to the nowhere from where I came
Don't worry of me, I know what I am
Where I'm goin' and where I've been
I'm not afraid!
I'm not afraid!
No, I'm not afraid!
7.Goin' Out Of My Head
Written：Bobby Weinstein／Teddy Randazzo
Arranger：Don Costa
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head over you, over you
I want you, want you to want me, I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you
Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head, day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
I must think of a way into your heart
There's no reason why my being so shy should keep us apart
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
'cause I can't explain the tears that I shed over you, over you
I see you each morning, but you just walk by me
You don't even know that I exist
Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head, day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right, day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right, day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
8.Something
Lyrics：George Harrison
Music：George Harrison
Arranger：Don Costa
Something in the way she moves
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way that she woos me
Don't want to leave her now
Better believe, and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
Don't want to leave her now
Better believe, and how
You're asking me will my love grow
Well, I don't know, no, I don't know
You stick around, Jack, it might show
I don't know, no, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
All I gotta do is just think of her
Something in the things that she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
Better believe, and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, no, I don't know
But you hang around, Jack, it might show
I don't know, no, I don't know
Something in the way she knows me
And all I gotta do is just think of her
Something in those things that she shows me
Don't want to leave her now
Better believe, and how
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
I don't plan to leave her now
9.What's Now Is Now
Written：Jake Holmes／Bob Gaudio
Arranger：Joseph Scott
You should've told me when it all began
You should've told me long ago
Someday I know you're gonna find
Just one mistake is not enough to change my mind
What's now is now and I'll forget what happened then
I know it all and we can still begin again
And if the doubting faces made you go
It's only mine that matters now
Those looks will soon begin to fade
If you come back and show them all you're not afraid
What's now is now and I'll forget what happened then
I know it all and we can still begin again
Now that you know how much I understand
You have no reason to be gone
And if you feel at all like me
Just let me know, I'll make it like it used to be
What's now is now and I'll forget what happened then
I know it all and we can still begin again
What's now is now and I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
10.Star
Written：Jimmy Van Heusen／Sammy Cahn
Arranger：Nelson Riddle
If the lady's naughty but proper
If the lady's chic-er than chic
If her escorts must wear a topper
And each man's the man of the week
If she rides around in a brand new foreign car
The chances are the lady's a star
If the lady's utterly charming
If the lady's chummy with kings
If her whims are close to alarming
And it's known she's thrown a few things
If they've got a drink with her name in Jilly's bar
The chances are the lady's a star
If her smallest party is really expensive with tons of expensive
caviar
If the lady is someone with the same credentials
Someone with the same essentials
Someone who is worshipped from afar
She's a genuine, positive, totally, marvelous, perfectly,
wonderful
She's a great big, great big star!
11.The September Of My Years
Written：Jimmy Van Heusen／Sammy Cahn
Arranger：Quincy Jones／Billy Byers
One day you turn around, and it's summer
Next day you turn around, and it's fall
And all the winters and the springs of a lifetime
Whatever happened to them all
As a man, who as always had the wandering ways
I keep looking back to yesterdays
'Til a long forgotten love appears
And I find, I'm sighing softly as I near
September, the warm September of my years
As I man, who has never pauses at wishing wells
Now I'm watching children's carousels
And their laughter's music to my ears
And I find, that I'm smiling gently as I near
September, the warm September of my years
- The golden warm September of my years
