A Boy Like That/I Have A Love Composer(s): Leonard Bernstein - Stephen Sondheim Performer(s): Betty Wand and multiple other artists
Maria's Bedroom - 11:30 p.m. (Anita knocks at Maria's locked door After agreeing with Maria to meet at the drugstore, Tony scrambles out the window Maria opens the door for Anita, who looks at the bed and turns to her accusingly)
Anita (bitterly): A boy like that who'd kill your brother Forget that boy and find another One of your own kind! Stick to your own kind! A boy like that will give you sorrow You'll meet another boy tomorrow One of your own kind! Stick to your own kind! A boy who kills cannot love A boy who kills has no heart And he's the boy who gets your love And gets your heart Very smart, Maria, very smart! A boy like that wants one thing only And when he's done he'll leave you lonely He'll murder your love; he murdered mine Just wait and see Just wait, Maria Just wait and see!
Maria: Oh, no, Anita, no! Anita, no! It isn't true, not for me I hear your words And in my head I know they're smart But my heart knows they're wrong And my heart is too strong For I belong to him alone, to him alone One thing I know: I am his I don't care what he is I don't know why it's so I don't want to know
Anita: A boy like that who'd kill your brother Forget that boy and find another One of your own kind! Stick to your own kind! A boy like that will give you sorrow You'll meet another boy tomorrow One of your own kind! Stick to your own kind! A boy who kills cannot love A boy who kills has no heart And he's the boy who gets your love And gets your heart Very smart, Maria, very smart!
Maria: Oh, no, Anita, no! Anita, no! You should know better! You were in love - or so you said You should know better... I have a love, and it's all that I have Right or wrong, what else can I do? I love him; I'm his And ev'rything he is I am too I have a love and it is all that I need Right or wrong, and he needs me too I love him, we're one There's nothing to be done Not a thing I can do But hold him Hold him forever Be with him now tomorrow And all of my life!
Both: When love comes so strong There is no right or wrong Your love is your life! (A policeman comes in to question Maria, who sends Anita to tell Tony)

Christmas For Cowboys Composer(s): Steve Weisberg Performer(s): John Denver and multiple other artists
Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains All of the good gifts given today Ours is the sky and the wide open range
Back in the cities, they have diff'rent ways Football and eggnog and Christmas parades I'll take the blanket, I'll take the reins Christmas for cowboys and the wide open plains
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray Christmas for cowboys and the wide open range
It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains So many gifts have been opened today Ours is the sky and the wide open range It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains

You think that money is everything And yet its anybodys Spring Go make a fortune, become a king And still its anybodys Spring And if you flash a bank roll Do you suppose the brook would care? Or that a rose would say There goes a millionaire! Its more than diamonds around a ring Because its anybodys Spring You may be born with the silver spoon And yet its anybodys moon You couldnt buy a ticket To hear the first robin sing Its free because Its anybodys Spring
You couldnt buy a ticket To hear the first robin sing Its free because Its anybodys Spring

It's Always You Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke First recording/First release by: Bing Crosby - 1940/1941 Covered by multiple other artists
Whenever it's early twilight I watch till a star breaks through Funny it's not a star I see, it's always you
Whenever I roam through roses And lately I often do Funny it's not a rose I touch, it's always you
If a breeze caresses me, it's really you strolling by If I hear a melody, it's merely the way you sigh
Wherever you are, you're near me You dare me to be untrue Funny, each time I fall in love, it's always you

It's Always 4 A.M. Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Ron Anthony Performer(s): Shirley Bassey and multiple other artists
The world is cold, the night is still The dream is old, and so's a thrill Some cool DJ, begins to play, a Wes Montgomerys score When you're all alone It's always four a.m. It had to last, it would go on But once it's passed, it's passed and gone You just pretend, it didn't end But make believe the blower When you're all alone It's always four a.m.
Your thoughts take wings, but nothing brings That needed bit of slumber The phone then rings, your pour heart sings You left the phone, wrong number The sun is bright, the sky's a blaze But still it's night, there are no days And worst of all, right down the hall There's laughter through the door When you're all alone It's always four a.m.
Your thoughts take wings, but nothing brings That needed bit of slumber The phone then rings, your pour heart sings You left the phone, wrong number The sun is bright, the sky's a blaze But still it's night, there are no days And worst of all, right down the hall There's laughter through the door When you're all alone It's always four a.m. When you're all alone It's always four a.m.

Christmas Dream
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Weber - Tim Rice - André Heller
Performer(s): Perry Como & The London Boy Singers; Simon Fisk; Maynard Williams
Watch me now, here I go! All I need's a little snow Starts me off, sets the theme, helps me dream my Christmas dream Ev'ry year I dream it, hoping things will change An end to the crying, the shouting, the dying And I hope you will dream it too It's Christmas, remember? We've got to remember
So light the light I'm home tonight. I need you to warm me, to calm me, to love me To help me to dream my Christmas dream
Crazy things said and done, ev'ry single day but one Ev'ry night should, I believe, be the same as Christmas Eve Nights should all be silent, days should all slow down An end to the hurry, the noise and the worry And I hope you believe that too It's Christmas, remember? Does no one remember?
The whole world needs a Christmas dream We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us To help us to dream our Christmas dream
(Lüge dirigiert die Welt, Ehrlichkeit bringt selten Geld Jeder möcht' Sieger sein, wer verliert bleibt ganz allein Doch manch Will' ist möglich durch die Fantasie Du stirbst um zu leben und nimmst um zu geben) Einmal im Jahr wird alles wahr Zu Weihnacht vergiss nicht Vergiss es gewiss nicht
The whole world needs a Christmas dream We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us We need it to warm us, to calm us, to love us To help us to dream our Christmas dream
