all the world is sad and lonely everywhere I roam

oh say can you see?
by the dawn's early light
what so proudly I hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming
oh they say she has gone
somewhere over the rainbow
where the blue birds fly
I heard of her once
in a lullaby
so
there's a someone
I'm longing to see
hope that she'll turn out to be
someone to watch over me
but a candy colored clown
they call the sandman
tiptoes to my room every night
and just a sprinkle of stardust
and a whisper...
"go to sleep
everything is all right"

but I saw her today
I saw her face
it was a face I love
and I knew I had to run away
get down on my knees and pray
that they'd go away
but still they begin
those needles and pins
and I've felt this way
since yesterday
and today
I keep hurtin'
still hurtin
because I caught a falling star
and put it in my pocket
to save it for a rainy day
and I hoped it'd never go away
cuz
I'm a little lamb
whose lost in the wood
I know I could
I could
try to be good
to one who'll
watch over me
so won't you stay
just a little bit longer
please please please
tell me you're gonna
or
I'll never smile again
until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again
what good would it do?
for tears would fill my eyes
I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
with somebody new
within my heart
I know I will never stop
to smile again
until I smile at you.
cuz the moon stood still
on blue ... berry hill
though we're apart
I think of you still
you were my thrill
on blue ... berry hill.
