I want some red roses for a blue lady Mister florist take my order please We had a silly quarrel the other day I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away
I want some red roses for a blue lady Send them to the sweetest gal in town And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night My dear heart, seems like a year since you've been out of my sight A single room, a table for one It's a lonesome town all right But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door And dear heart I want you to know I'll leave your arms never more
(A single room, a table for one) It's a lonesome town all right But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door And dear heart I want you to know I'll leave your arms never more
Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting ,round the bend My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
(Moon river, wider than a mile) (I'm crossing you in style some day) Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're going, I'm going your way

Born free, as free as the wind blows As free as the grass grows Born free to follow your heart
Live free and beauty surrounds you The world still astounds you Each time you look at a star
Stay free, where no walls divide you You're free as the roaring tide So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living But only worth living 'cause you're born free
(Stay free, where no walls divide you) You're free as the roaring tide So there's no need to hide
Born free, and life is worth living But only worth living 'cause you're born free
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone and all the roses are falling It's you, It's you must go and I must bide But come you back when summer's meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
Artist: Andy Williams (peak Billboard position # 26 in 1963) Music by Henry Mancini and Words by Johnny Mercer title song from the movie starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick
The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play Through a meadow land toward a closing door A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before
The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories Of the golden smile that introduced me to The days of wine and roses and you
(The lonely night discloses) just a passing breeze filled with memories Of the golden smile that introduced me to The days of wine and roses and you-oo-oo

Emily, Emily, Emily Has the murmuring sound of may All silver bells, coral shells, carousels And the laughter of children at play
Say Emily, Emily, Emily And we fade to a marvelous view Two lovers alone and out of sight Seeing images in the firelight As my eyes visualize a family They see Emily, Emily
(and we fade to a marvelous view) Two lovers alone and out of sight Seeing images in the firelight As my eyes visualize a family They see Emily, Emily Too
My world is like a river, as dark as it is deep; Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep. My days are just an endless stream of emptiness to me, Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memory. Sweet memories, sweet memories- M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm. She slipped into the silence of my dreams again last night; Wandering from room to room, she's turning on each light. Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea, And I'm swept away from sadness, clinging to her memory. Sweet memories, sweet memories- M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm. Sweet memories, sweet memories- M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
More than the greatest love the world has known this is the love I give to you alone more than the simplest words I try to say I only live to love you more each day
More than you'll never know my arms long to hold your soul My life will be in your keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping Longer than always is long long time, but far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I never live before and my heart is very sure no one else could love you more
I know I never live before and my heart is very sure no one else could love you more
The most beautiful sound I ever heard All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word Maria I just met a girl named Maria And suddenly that name Will never be the same To me Maria I just kissed a girl named Maria And suddenly I found How wonderful a sound Can be Maria Say it loud and there's music playing Say it soft and it's almost like praying Maria I'll never stop saying Maria Maria, Maria... Maria Say it loud and there's music playing Say it soft and it's almost like praying Maria I'll never stop saying Maria The most beautiful sound I ever heard Maria
What now, my love Now that you've left me How can I live Through another day Watching my dreams Turn into ashes And my hopes Into bits of clay Once I could see Once I could feel Now I am numb I've become unreal I walk the night Oh without a goal Stripped of my heart And my soul What now, my love Now that it's over I feel the world Closing in on me Here come the stars Tumbling around me And there's the sky Where the sea should be What now, my love Now that you're gone I'd be a fool To go on and on No one would care No one would cry If I should live If I should die What now, my love Now there is nothing Only my last goodbye Only my last My last goodbye
A time for us, some day there'll be When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free A time when dreams so long denied can flourish As we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us, at last to see A life worthwhile for you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns We will endure as we pass surely through every storm A time for us, some day there'll be a new world A world of shining hope for you and me
For you and me
And with our love, through tears and thorns We will endure as we pass surely through every storm A time for us, some day there'll be a new world A world of shining hope for you and me
To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong To love tough enchased from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star, No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To fight for the right, without question or cause To be willing to march and to hell for a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To fight the unbeatable foe To reach the unreachable star.
Love is a many splendored thing It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living The golden crown that makes a man a king Once on a high and windy hill In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing Yes true love's a many splendored thing
The most beautiful sound I ever heard All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word Maria I just met a girl named Maria And suddenly that name Will never be the same To me Maria I just kissed a girl named Maria And suddenly I found How wonderful a sound Can be Maria Say it loud and there's music playing Say it soft and it's almost like praying Maria I'll never stop saying Maria Maria, Maria... Maria Say it loud and there's music playing Say it soft and it's almost like praying Maria I'll never stop saying Maria The most beautiful sound I ever heard Maria
