[ORCHESTRA]

Shalom, Shalom,
You'll find Shalom
The nicest greeting you know;
It means bonjour, salud, and skoal
And twice as much as hello.
It means a million lovely things,
Like peace be yours,
Welcome home.
And even when you say goodbye,
You say goodbye with Shalom.

It's a very useful word,
It can get you through the day;
All you really need to know,
You can hardly go wrong,
This is your home as long as you say:
Shalom,
The nicest greeting I know;
Shalom,
Means twice as much as hello.
It means a million lovely things,
Like peace be yours,
Welcome home.
And even when you say goodbye,
If your voice has
"I don't want to go" in it,
Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it,
And say goodbye with shalom.

It's the most amazing thing
That I think I've ever heard
???

Shalom, Shalom,
I find Shalom
The nicest greeting you know;
It means bonjour, salud, and skoal
And twice as much as hello.
It means a million lovely things,
Like peace be yours,
Welcome home.
And even when you say goodbye...
If your voice has
"I don't want to go" in it,
Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it,
And say goodbye with shalom.

Sing, sing a song of MAZELTOV,
Keep mazel at your side;
Sing, sing a song of MAZELTOV,
Toast the lucky groom!
Toast the happy bride!
Dance, dance the weary world away,
Now that the knot is tied;
Sing, sing a song of MAZELTOV,
The lucky groom!
The happy bride!

This is the land of Milk and Honey
This is the land of sun and song and
This is the world of good and plenty
Humble and proud and young and strong and
This is the place where the hopes of the homeless
and the dreams of the lost combine
This is the land that heaven blessed and
This lovely land is mine

This is the land of Milk and Honey
This is the land of sun and song and
This is the world of good and plenty
Humble and proud and young and strong and
This is the place where the hopes of the homeless
and the dreams of the lost combine
This is the land that heaven blessed and
This lovely land is mine

What if the earth is dry and barren
What if the morning sun is mean to us for
This is a state of mind we live in
We want it green and so it's green to us for
When you have wonderful plans for tomorrow
Somehow even today looks fine so
What if it's rock and dust and sand,
For this lovely land is mine
This lovely land is mine.
This lovely land is mine.
This lovely land is mine.
This lovely land is mine!

There's no reason in the world
Why you should even look at anyone like me;
But I'm so glad you did,
So glad you did,
Although I don't know what there was to see.
And there's no reason in the world
For you to be here now
And watch the days go by;
But I'm so glad you are,
So very glad you are,
Although I must admit I don't see why.
For there are wiser men and younger men,
I wouldn't blame you if you walked away;
But I feel wiser now and younger now
And so with all my heart I ask you,
"Stay."
For we have so much more to see
And so much more to say
And so much more to do;
I think you ought to know
If I never let you go,
That I'd have ev'ry reason in the world,
You!

For I feel suddenly alive,
Aware that I've been touched
By something warm and new;
I think you ought to know
If I never let you go,
That I'd have ev'ry reason in the world,
You!

ALTERNATE LYRICS
There's no reason in the world,
No reason in the world
To feel the way I feel;
We smiled and said hello,
A few short weeks ago,
And somehow not another thing seems real.
And there's no reason in the world
For me to be here now
Behaving like a child;
But did you ever see
The way he pampers me,
And makes me smile a smile I've never smiled?
There may be wiser men and younger men,
And now with more important things to say;
But there's no kinder man or warmer man
He touches me and reason runs away.
Why should this lovely way he makes me feel
Be something that the world will not allow;
And yet this much I know
If I never let him go,
I would have ev'ry reason in the world,
Now!

Chin up, Ladies,
Look around the horizon!
Head high, Ladies,
Don't give up the ship!
Look for the silver lining!
You gotta go on with the show
Climb ev'ry mountain
To find your Mr. Snow
And always hip-hop, Ladies,
There's a bright light tomorrow
Stiff upper lip up, Ladies!
Do or die is the plan
Don't ever be discouraged,
Don't ever be perplexed,
There's always another country
Russia or may be next
So keep your chin up, Ladies!
Somewhere over the rainbow
There's a man!

Chin up, Ladies,
Look around the horizon!
Head high, Ladies,
Don't give up the ship!
Look for the silver lining!
You gotta go on with the show
Climb ev'ry mountain
To find your Mr. Snow
And always hip-hop, Ladies,
There's a bright light tomorrow!
Stiff upper lip up, Ladies!
Do or die is the plan!
When the trip is over
To prove that we were here
We'd like to carry home
A six-foot souvenir!
So keep your chin up, Ladies!
Somewhere over the rainbow
There's a man!
Somewhere over the rainbow
There's a man!

That plan of mine had of tomorrow solved
For I was fine
If I didn't have to get involved.
But that was yesterday,
That yesterday,
And it's gone,
It's over and it's done;
For with you my mood strikes an attitude,
That's in competition with the sun,
For when my hair was up,
My morale was down,
I was dull and colorless and gray;
But what's past is past,
I've come home at last,
Where you are,
Tomorrow is,
How far tomorrow is from yesterday.
But that was yesterday,
That yesterday,
But my equilibrium returned;
And there's not a chance of a backward glance
Over all the bridges that I've burned.
For I was someone else in some other time,
I was sev'ral millions miles away;
But I'm back and fine,
With your hand in mine
And I'll stay the way I am,
How far away I am from yesterday.

For when my hair was up,
My morale was down,
I was dull and colorless and gray;
But what's past is past,
I've come home at last,
Where you are,
Tomorrow is,
How far tomorrow is from yesterday.
But I'm back and fine,
With your hand in mine
And I'll stay the way I am,
How far away I am from yesterday.

But that was yesterday,
Only was yesterday
But her equilibrium returned;
And there's not a chance of a backward glance
Over all the bridges that she's burned.
For she was someone else in some other time,
She was sev'ral millions miles away;

But what's past is past,
(You've)I've come home at last,
Where you are,
Tomorrow is,
How far tomorrow is from yesterday.

Let's not waste a moment,
Let's not lose a day;
There's a short forever,
Not too far away.

We don't have to hear the clock remind us
That there's more than half of life behind us,
When you face a short forever.
There's no right or wrong;
I can only face forever,
If you come along.
I can only find my way,
If you're there to lead me on;
So let's not waste a moment,
Oh, look, another moment's gone!

OCHESTRA and CHORUS:
Let's not waste a moment,
Let's not lose a day; (There's no reason in the world,
No reason in the world)
There's a short forever,
Not too far away. (There's no reason in the world,
Why I should stay
And ev'ry reason I should go)

We don't have to hear the clock remind us
That there's more than half of life behind us,
Let's not waste a moment,
Oh, look, another moment's gone!
Look, another moment's gone!
Look, another moment's gone!

Like a young man
With a young dream
You will hear me
Laughing at time
I howl the desert in the morning
With the power of a boy
Got to border if I have to
In the blaze of the sun
I can handle the gun like a toy
I'll make grain grow
Out of nowhere
Till the gray sun turns into gold
Like a young man
Who's young forever
I swear I'll never
Grow old

I'll build her a house
In the middle of the desert
I'll give her a young hand to hold
I will make ev'ry day
An exciting new adventure
And I'll never grow old!

(Like a young man)
Like a young man
(With a young dream)
With a young dream
You will hear me
Laughing at time
I howl the desert in the morning
With the power of a boy
Got to border if I have to
In the blaze of the sun
I can handle the gun like a toy
I'll make grain grow
Out of nowhere
Till the gray sun turns into gold
Like a young man
Who's young forever
I swear I'll never
Grow old!

In my gray flannel suit,
In my new, shiny car,
In my split level house,
With my big, black cigar,
Can't you picture me?

I will follow you,
I will follow you
To what may be a strange and a lone world.
For I know I'd be lost in my own world,
If you're not part of it too.

I will follow you,
I am ready to go
Wherever you happen to lead me,
Just in case you might happen to need me,
All that you have to do is turn around,
For I'll be following you.

I am ready to go
Wherever you happen to lead me,
Just in case you might happen to need me,
All that you have to do is turn around,
For I'll be following you.

-You need a home where the world is welcome inside
You need a real home not just some place to hide
As so what good it would be if you should stay with me
When I can never build you that home you need

-I know all of that and I thought it all true
But that home that I need
And that place in the world is you
If you're here,
Then I'm here,
It's really as simple as that.

If it's your home,
It's my home;
My world is where you are,
Wherever we two are.
Don't ask me to leave you,
For this is the answer I'll give.
If you're here,
Then I'm here,
I'm with you as long as I live;
It's as simple as that.
Just as simple as that.

...And even when you say goodbye,
If your voice has
"I don't want to go" in it,
Say goodbye with a little "hello" in it...

Shalom, Shalom,
You'll find Shalom
The nicest greeting you know;
It means bonjour, salud, and skoal
And twice as much as hello.
It means a million lovely things,
Like peace be yours,
Welcome home.
And even when you say goodbye,
You say goodbye with Shalom.
