Perry Como

And I love you so
the people ask me how
How I live till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
how lonely life has been
But life began again
the day you took my hand
And yes
I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
and night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening
get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The look of life is brief
and once a page is read
All but love is dead
that is my belief
And yes
I know how lovely life can be
The shadows follow me
and the night won't
set me free
But I don't let the evening
get me down
Now that you're around me

Ave Maria
Gratia plena

Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus.

Ave Maria
Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Ora pro nobis

Ave Maria

Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
Make it safe by night and day . . .

Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out . . .

Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie overall . . .

Bless this door that it may prove,
Ever open,
To joy and love . . .

Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's Heavenly light,
Bless the hearth, ablazing there,


With smoke ascending like a prayer!

Bless the people here within,
Keep them pure and free from sin . . .

Bless us all that we may be,
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee . . .

Bless us all that one day we may dwell,
O Lord! With Thee!
Words and Music by Helen Taylor
and May H. Morgan ( a.k.a. Brahe ), 1927

It is "He", Christ who is born today
See Him crying in the manger
King of Heaven
Son of God
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

There He lies
there with the lam'kin
Only swaddle for his garment
With his Holy Mother Mary
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Glory, Glory, Almighty God!
And on Earth,
Peace to All Men
Hear the joyful angels singing
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

He is born,
let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
King of Kings
Prince of Peace
for All the Universe
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

I wish it could be Christmas forever,
I wish that glow would never fade away!
With friends and loved ones near us,
around the Christmas tree so tall,
We hear the church bells ringing,
Dear Lord, bless us one and all!

I know I be content now and forever,
If those Christmas lights would sparkle every day,
There's be candy canes and mistletoe,
Children singing carols we know
( . . . singing carols we know, )
If love and peace on earth would always stay,
I know it could be Christmas every day!

Silver bells, silver bells
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling, hear them ring
soon it will be Christmas day!

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
dressed in holiday style
in the air there's a feeling of Christmas!

Children laughing, people passing
meeting smile after smile
and on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
soon it will be Christmas day!

Strings of street lights, even stop lights
blink of bright red an' green
as the shoppers rush home with their treasures!

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
this is Santa's big scene
and above all this bustle you'll hear

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
soon it will be Christmas day!

Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling ( ring-a-ling! ) hear them ring ( hear them ring!! )
soon . . . to fade

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
an' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
And I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
And have a merry Christmas
And have a merry Christmas, too

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases
All your Christmases
All your Christmases be white

And have a merry Christmas

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, who knows
Who knows, who knows

So hold this moment fast, hold it fast
And live and love as hard as you know how, you know how
And make this moment last, moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now

Now not some forgotten yesterday
Now tomorrow is too far away

So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, who knows
Who knows, who knows

Now
(This is the moment we should take)
Not some forgotten yesterday
(Yesterday is just a faded memory)
Now
(Don't let this moment go to waste)
Tomorrow is too far away
(Too far, too far away)

So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now

The best of times is now
What's left of summer but a faded rose
The best of times is now
As for tomorrow, well, who knows
Who knows, who knows

So hold this moment fast
And live and love as hard as you know how
And make this moment last
Because the best of times is now
Is now, is now, is now, is now

Bless the beasts and the children,
For in this world they have no voice,
They have no choice.
Bless the beasts and the children,
For the world can never be,
The world they see.

Light their way
When the darkness surrounds them;
Give them love, let it shine all around them.
Bless the beasts and the children;
Give them shelter from a storm;
Keep them safe;
Keep them warm.

Oh it's a sin to catch a butterfly,
So I won't ever try to keep you in a jar!
I'll just let you flip and flow and ¡®round,
I'll never tie you down ¡®cause that's the way you are!

Butterfly, I'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please fly home to me!

All the snow has melted from the ground,
When you first came around and held me it was spring!
April showers kept you here with me,
Was it your love for me or water on your wings?



Butterfly, I'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please make love to me!

It's a sin to catch a butterfly,
So I'll just say good-bye and watch you fly away!
But should you feel by the winter's chill,
Come to my window sill I'll never make you stay!

Butterfly, I'll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please come home to me!

Do you remember me,
As I remember you?
I know, many years have passed,
Yet I still cant forget the love we shared.
Do you ever regret the day,
You turned and walked away?
Leaving a dream behind,
One I never could find again.
Life went on without you,
I willed it from my mind!
But still the memory lingers in my heart,
Of how we parted.
Do you remember why,
You had to say good-bye?
Do you every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!
Do you remember me,
Holding you tenderly?
Do you, every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!

I'm dreaming of Hawaii,
Where perfume fills the air.
And lovely gentle breezes,
Come and take away your every care.

The beauty of Hawaii,
Is waiting just for you.
Let's fly there on a rainbow,
And let all our wildest dreams come true.

Palm trees are swayin'
Ukuleles are playin'
Your heart will keep sayin'
I've found a new home!

The trade winds seem to say,
We hope you'll stay,
It's here you'll find that longed for peace of mind . . .

There's romance in Hawaii,
It's heaven by the sea.
I'm dreaming of Hawaii,
It's a paradise for you and me!

Let's fly there on a rainbow,
And may all our wildest dreams come true.

Palm trees are swayin'
Ukuleles are playin'
Your heart will keep sayin'
I've found a new home!

The trade winds seem to say,
We hope you'll stay . . .
And it's here you'll find
that longed for peace of mind . . .

There's romance in Hawaii,
It's heaven by the sea.
I'm dreaming of Hawaii,
It's a paradise for you and me!

I'd love to spend my whole life through,
Makin' love to you!
It's just the nicest thing i do,
Makin' love to you!

Each time we're face to face,
Music fills the air!
And then when we embrace,
I hear violins, the song begins!

I never dreamed that you could be,
Makin' love to me!
That dream is now reality,
You are here with me!
Each night the miracle of rainbows come in view,
Because i'm makin' love to you!

I never dreamed that you could be,
Makin' love to me!
That dream is now reality,
'cause you are here with me!

Each night the miracle of rainbows come in view,
Because i'm makin' love to you!

I took one look at you,
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk, my
Lips could move an' talk
And then my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all,
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still!

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all,
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still!

Sing along with me,
Sing a happy song!
I would guarantee.
That you can't go wrong!

You will be surprised,
At the way you'll feel,
All your cares and woes will be a hazy memory!
If you'll just agree,
Sing along with me!

Don't be too quick,
To say you can't sing a lick,
There's a trick to it all!
Make believe that you're takin' a shower,
And sing it out loud,
Sing to the crowd,


You'll be feelin' ten feet tall!

Sing along with me ( sing along with me )
Sing a happy tune ( sing a happy tune )
Let the butterfly ( let the butterfly )
Out of your cocoon! ( out of your cocoon )
You can finally be ( you can finally be )
Who you wanta be ( who you wanta be )
What you got to lose?
Forget your blues,
Now you're breakin' free ( now you're breakin' free )
Here's the recipe! ( here's the recipe )
Just sing along with me! ( la la, la la la . . . )

And I never thought I'd feel this way,
And as far as I'm concerned,
I'm glad I got a chance to say,
That I do believe I love you!

And if I should ever go away,
Well then close your eyes and try,
to feel the way we do today!
And then if you can remember . . .

Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!

For good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!

And so, by the way, I thank you and then,
For the times when we're apart,
Well then close your eyes and know,
These words are comin' from my heart!
And then if you can remember . . .

Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!

In good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face?
You've been content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind

I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complain

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
I would be nothin' without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

You are the wind beneath my wings

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
It seems the natural thing to do
Tonight no one's gonna find us
We'll leave the world behind us
When I make love to you Tonight
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And hope that deep inside you feel it too
Tonight our spirits will be climbing
To the sky lit up with diamonds
When I make love to you tonight

Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And that midnight song is gonna come shining through
Tonight there'll be no distance between us
What I want most to do
Is to get close to you tonight
(Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And soon this old world will seem brand new)
Tonight we will both discover
How friends turn into lovers
When I make love to you
When I make love to you tonight

You're nearer, than my head is to my pillow,
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow.
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below,
Precious as the sun to the things that grow.

You're nearer, than the ivy to the wall is,
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.
Leave me, but when you're away, you'll know,
You're nearer, for i love you so!

God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour,
Was born on Christmas day . . .

To save us all from Satan's power,
When we were gone astray,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

From God our heavenly father,
A blessed Angel came,
And unto certain Shepherds,
Brought tidings of the same . . .

How, that in Bethlehem was born,
The Son of God by name,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

<instrumental break >

Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

The Shepherds at these tidings,
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding,
In tempest storm and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straight way,
The blessed babe to find,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .

O holy night
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night
of the dear Saviour's birth!

Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
'till He appeared
and the soul felt it's worth!

A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks
a new an' glorious morn!

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born

O night divine O night,
O night divine!

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born

O night divine O night,
O night divine!

O holy night
O night divine

You better watch out!
You better not cry!
Here's the man who's gonna tell you why!

I just got back from a lovely trip
along the Milky Way!
I stopped off at the North Pole
to spend a holiday!

I called on dear old Santa Claus
to see what I could see,
he took me in his workshop
an' told his plans to me!

So! You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice
gonna find out who's naughty an' nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He sees you when you're sleepin' ( he sees you! )
he knows when you're awake ( he knows! )
he knows if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake!

Ho, you better watch out, you better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

With little tin horns and little toy drums,
rooty toot toots an' runny tum tums!
Santa Claus is comin' to town!

And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo,
elephants, boats an' kiddy cars too!
Santa Claus, Santa Clause, Santa Clause is comin'
comin' to town!

The kids in girl an' boy land
will have a jubilee!
They're gonna build a toyland town
all around the Christmas tree!

So! You better watch out, better not cry
better not pout, I'm tellin' you why;
the big jolly man in the bright red suit
with his sleigh all full of loot
Santa Claus is comin' . . .
to town!

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
an' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said

Sleigh bells ring; are you list'nin'?
In the lane, snow is glist'nin',
A beautiful sight, we're happy to night
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird;
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

In a meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown;
Hell say, 창??Are you married?창??
We'll say, 창??No man!
But you can do the job when you're in town!창??

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire,
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland!

'Twas just a garden in the rain,
close to a little leafy lane
a touch of colour 'neath skies of gray!

The raindrops kissed the flower beds
the blossoms raised their thirsty heads
a perfumed thank you they seem to say!

Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
maybe it was just that I was there
with you!

'Twas just a garden in the rain,
but then the sun came out again
and sent us happily on our way!

Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
but, maybe it was just that you were there dear,
you were so lovely!

'Twas just a garden in the rain,
but then the sun came out again
and sent us happily on our way!

Just a garden in the rain!

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I know
how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
the night won't set me free
But I don't let the
evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but love is dead
That is my believe
And yes I know
how lonelyless can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
but I don't let the
evening get me down
Now that you're around me

I've got a yearning to caress you,
One thought keeps burning in my soul,
A hungry yearning to possess you,
It's far beyond control!

I want your love for now, forever,
I want you heart and soul!

My life, I'd give to you,
Anema e core . . .
I only live for you,
Anema e core . . .

I have but one desire,
And it's to love you,
With all my heart, with all my soul,
My whole life through!

From stars I'll make your crown,
And kneel before you,
I pray you'll take my hand,
For I adore you!

Open up the doors leading to heaven,
A heaven mine and yours,
Anema e core . . .

< Italian lyrics >

When they begin the beguine,
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back the night of tropical splendour,
It brings back a memory evergreen!

I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'
Even the palms seems to be swayin'
When they begin the beguine!

To live it again is past all endeavour,
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are swearin' to love forever,
And promising never, never to part!

What moments divine, what raptures serene,
'Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted . . .
Now, when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,


I know but too well what they mean!

So, don't let them begin the beguine,
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember . . .
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember,
When they begin the beguine!

Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play!
'Till the stars that were there before return above you,
'Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in,
When they begin the beguine!
When they begin . . . the beguine!


~ from the 1935 Stage musical "Jubilee"
Words and Music by Cole Porter

Oh . . . they say some people long ago,
Were searchin' for a diff'rent tune,
One that they could croon,
As only they can . . .

They only had the rhythm . . . so,
They started swayin' to and fro . . .
They didn't know just what to use,
That is how the blues,
Really began . . .

They heard the breeze in the trees,
Singin' weird melodies,
And they made that,
The start of the blues!

And from a jail came the wail,
Of a down-hearted frail,
And they played that,
As part of the blues!



From a whippoorwill out on the hill,
They took a new note ( whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill . . . )
Pushed it through a horn 'till it was worn,
Into a blue note . . . ( whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill . . . )

An' then they nursed it, and rehearsed it,
And gave out the news,
That the "Southland" . . .
Gave birth to the blues!

( Shout out the wonderful news! )

Oh, the breeze from the trees,
A wail from the jail,
A buzz from the cousin of a nightin'gale,
And "Southland" ( hello, hello! )
Gave birth to the blues!

Music by Ray Henderson
with lyrics by B.G. DeSylva and Lew Brown

Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted an' strayed
Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides!

What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed?
Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back
when I seem to be going ahead?"

To black moonlight!
Where everything reflects your colour
Darkness that is endless.
nights that leave me friendless . . . blue!

Black moonlight!
You make the lights of Harlem duller


Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded . . . too!
Why must you send . . .
ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing . . .
like shadows of love that are gone?

Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
and darken each promise of dawn?

Black moonlight!
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black, black moonlight!

Music by Arthur Johnston
with lyrics by Arthur Coslow, 1933

<lyrics>When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all,
I'm at your side,
Oh! When times get rough,
And friends just can't be found . . .

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!

When you're down an' out, when you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you,
I'll take your part,
Oh! When darkness comes,
And pain is all around . . .

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!

Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine,
Oh! When you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind . . .

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night

just in case you feel you wanna hold her
You'll have a pocket full of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away (never let it fade away)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day (save it for a rainy day)
&nbsp;
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night
And just in case you feel you wanna hold her
You'll have a pocket full of starlight..
&nbsp;
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day..
&nbsp;
For when your troubles start multiplying
And they just might
It's easy to forget them without tryin'
with just a pocketful of starlight Catch a falling star, put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away (never let it fade away)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day (rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day (rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day -

Well how did Wis-con-sin boy
She stole a New-brass-key
Too bad that Arkan saw boy
And so did Tenne-see
It made poor Flori-di boy
It made poor Flori-di, you see
She died in Miss-our-I boy
She died in Miss-our-I
Oh what did Del-a-ware boy, what did Delaware

Dont let the stars get in your eyes,

Dont keep your heart from me,
For some day Ill return,
And you know youre the only one Ill ever love!

Too many nights! ( Too many nights! )
Too many stars! ( Too many stars! )
Too many moons could change your mind!

If Im gone too long,
Dont forget where you belong,
When the stars come out remember you are mine!

( I'm On My Way To A Star )

Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin' the world roll by
Sharin' a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!

On a cloud of love, we'll hear the music of night
We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!

I get a heart full of butterflies, lookin' into your dreamy eyes

Dream about a love so true, dream about how I love you
Dream on ( Dream on! ) little dreamer dreamer on!

You know I love you,

Dream about a love so fine, sweet as apple berry wine

Far away places, with strange soundin' names,
far away over the sea . . .
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
are callin', callin' me . . .

Goin' to China or maybe Siam,
I wanna see for myself . . .
Those far away places, I've been readin' about,
in a book that I took from a shelf . . .

I start gettin' restless whenever I hear
the whistle of a train . . .
I pray for the day I can get under way
and look for those castles in Spain!

They call me a dreamer, well maybe I am,
But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Those far away places, with the strange soundin' names,
Callin' . . . callin' . . . me . . .

Words and Music by Alex Kramer
and Joan Whitney, 1948

Don't look so sad, I know it's over,
But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning.
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together,
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning.

Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine,
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times . . .

I'll get along, you'll find another,
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me,
Don't say a word about tomorrow, or forever,
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me . . .

Lay your head upon my pillow,
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine,
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times . . .

For the good times . . .

Bygones be bygones forever . . .

They were standing in a crowded station,
So unaware,
Of all the people there!
I didn't mean to hear their conversation,
But anyone could tell,
It was their last farewell!

Good-bye Sue,
All the best of luck to you!
You've been my only gal,
Whats more, my best pal!

Please don't cry,
Smile until the clouds roll by!
Don't kiss me dear, just walk away,
Or I could never ever say,
Good-bye, good-bye Sue!

( Good-bye Sue ) My little Sue!

Hand me down my soup and fish, I am gonna get my wish

When there's a trombone playin' <sound of trombone>

When there's a concertina stretched about a mile
I always smile 'cause that's my style
When there's a fiddle in the middle oh it really is a riddle how he plays a tune so sweet
Plays a tune so sweet that I could die Lead me to the floor and hear me yell for more

How insensitive . . . I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me . . .
How unmoved an' cold . . . I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely . . .

Why . . . she must have asked
Do I just turn an' stare in icy silence?
What was I to say . . .
What can you say when a love affair is over?

< instrumental break >

Now, she's gone away


And I'm alone with a memory of her last look . . .
Vague an' drawn an' sad . . . I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look . . .

How . . . she must have asked
Could I just turn an' stare in icy silence?
What was I to do . . .
What can one do when a love affair is over?

What can you do
When a love affair is over?

It's over . . .

I confess that it's you that I adore
I confess each day I love you more
Is it sinful to kiss you and thrill
If it's sinful, then darling, I'm guil-ty

I confess the dreams I can't control
You possess my dreams, my very soul
I'm yours for the taking, I'll never give less
So answer yes, confess what I confess!

If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you


If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you

When Im alone at night,
And theres no one to comfort me,
I think of you . . .
And suddenly my pillow is your face and your arms.
And when the winter wind comes chasin after me,
I think of you . . .
And its as though I crawl beneath the blanket
soft and warm.

How did I get from dark to daylight,
Before you happened to pass by?
How did I find my way through life,
Before you brightened up my sky?
Was there a sky at all,
Until you painted it for me?
How did I get on,
Till you came along?

Who knows how many times I pause in every day,
To think of you?
As often as the sun sails out upon the silent sea!
And if youre wonderin why it is I only think of you,
Well its because Id like to be as close to you,
As youve become to me!
I think of you . . .
I think of you . . .

Perry, it's such a beautiful night,
let's take a ride? ~ Nah!
Well how about a walk thru the park? ~ No!
Would you like soda? ~ Nah!
Well, what would you like to do?

I wanna go home, with you! ~ Oh!
I wanna go home with you!
I wanna meet the family,
I'm sure that they'll approve of me
I wanna go home, with you! ~ you do?
an' nobody else will do!
Kissing goodnight at your front door
makes me love you more an' more
I wanna go home with you!

Oh! Oh! Perry, here come my two sisters
( Hi Perry!, Hi Perry! )
Hi Jay, Hi Marge!
Ah! What are you doing here? ( We're just walking! )
Well, why don't you just walk along?
Go get yourself a soda! ( Nah! )
Why don't you go to a movie? ( Nah! )
Well, what do you wanna do? ( Nah! )

We wanna go home, with you! ( Ah da dee! )
We wanna go home with you! ( What, the three of ya? )
We wanna meet your family, we know your pa an' ma will agree
We wanna go home, with you!
an' nobody else will do!
An' when we get your front door
we're gonna love you more an' more
We wanna go home . . .

We wanna go home! Why he's my date! I saw him first! ( wild chatter! )
Now wait a minute girls, don't fight, girls, just a moment, listen to me
girls, just a moment, JUST A MOMENT! ( Perry! You stay out of this! )
Oh! Oh! I lost my head!
I guess I'll go home alone,
I'm gonna go home alone!

If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why cant I paint you?
The words would never show,
the you Ive come to know . . .

If a face could launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
Theres no one home but you,
youre all thats left me to . . .

And when my love for life
is running dry,
You come and pour
yourself on me . . .

If a man could be two places at one time,
Id be with you,
tomorrow and today,
beside you all the way . . .

If the world should stop revolving,
Spinning slowly down to die,
Id spend the end with you
when the world was through . . .

Then one by one
the stars would all go out . . .
Then you and I
would simply fly away!
Words and Music by David A. Gates

If I'm lucky, you will tell me that you care,
That we'll never be apart . . .
If I'm lucky, this will be no light affair,
It's forever, from the start . . .

If I'm lucky, there'll be moonbeams all around,
Shining bright as day . . .
You will hold my hand and you'll understand,
All I cannot seem to say . . .

If I am lucky, there will be a time an' place
You will kiss me, we'll embrace . . .
In that moment, every wishful dream I ever knew
Will come true . . .

If I'm lucky, I will go through the years with you . . .



If I am lucky, there will be a time an' place

( In these crazy times,
How very sweet to know,
Our love is like the love of long ago . . .

In these crazy times,
When life is wild and strange,
Our feelings for each other never change . . . )

Old things make way for new things,
Yet we still cling to the true things,
We will always be ruled by the heart!

In these crazy times,
When rockets fly in space,
When quick success is all they're dreaming of,
How blessed we are with our love!

( Old things make way for new things,

( In these crazy, crazy times! )

It's impossible, tell the sun to leave the sky, it's just impossible
It's impossible, ask a baby not to cry, it's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me and not feel you goin' through me
But the second that I never think of you, oh how impossible

Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore, it's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more, it's just impossible
And tomorrow, shouldya ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love is just impossible

Repeat second verse

Impossible, immmmmm-impossible

Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin,
Magic, moments,
Memories weve been sharin . . .

Ill never forget the moment we kissed,
The night of the hayride,
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,
While takin' a sleigh ride.

Magic, moments,
Memories weve been sharin,
Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin . . .

Time cant erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!

whistling . . .

The telephone call that tied up the line,
For hours and hours,
The Saturday dance, I got up the nerve,
To send you some flowers.

Magic, moments,
Memories weve been sharin,
Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin . . .

Time cant erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!

The way that we cheered,
Whenever our team,
Was scoring a touchdown!

The time that the floor,
Fell out of my car,
When I put the clutch down!

The penny arcade,
The games that we played,
The fun and the prizes!

The Halloween hop,
When everyone came,
In funny disguises.

Magic, moments,
Filled with love!

Maybe . . . you'll think of me, when you are all alone,
maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue
Then, what will you do?

Maybe . . . you'll sit an' sigh, wishing that I were near
Then, maybe you'll ask me to come back again
and maybe, I'll say maybe!

Maybe . . . ( maybe every now an' then, maybe )
you'll think of me,
when you are all alone ( wondering what I'm doin' and if I'm alone )


maybe the one who is waiting for you ( will prove untrue )
( what'll you say? ) then, what will you do? ( what'll you do? )

Maybe . . . ( maybe as the days go by, maybe )
you'll sit an' sigh

Maybe you'll ask me to come back again . . .

You're more than life to me,
More than eternity . . .
And the more I know of you,
All the more I love you . . .

I need you more each day,
Much more than words can say. . .
More than forevermore,
I'll be yours. . .

The silver moon will fade too soon,
And bring the dawn when you'll be gone . . .
Before you go, please let me know,
That what you feel is really real . . .

So do not grieve that I must leave,
Because I live only for,
Your love an' mine,
More and more!

( repeat first two verses )

More than forevermore,
I'll be yours!

No other love have I
Only my love for you
Only the dream we knew
No other love

Watching the night go by
Wishing that you could be
Watching the night with me
Into the night I cry

"Hurry home, come home to me
Set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing."

Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay
Waiting to hear you say
"No other love have I."
No other love

(Into the night I cry)
"Hurry home, come home to me
Set me free
Free from doubt and free from longing."

Into your arms I'll fly
Locked in your arms I'll stay
Waiting to hear you say
"No other love have I."

No other love
(No other love)
No other love

Nothin's gonna harm you, not while I'm around!
Nothin's gonna harm you, "No Sir!"
Not while I'm around!

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send then howling, I don't care,
I got ways!

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare!
Others can desert you, not to worry, whistle,
I'll be there!



Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time, nothin' can harm you,
Not while I'm around!

Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time, nothin's gonna harm you,
Not while I'm around!
Not while I'm around!

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it, gettin' so gay with it
Shoutin' "ol" with it, wow! (ooh!)

Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo
(Mama loves mambo)
Papa does great with it, swings like a gate with it
Evens his weight with it, now!

He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight)

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (ooh!)

Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo
(Mama loves mambo)
Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba
'cause papa loves mama tonight (ooh!)

(Papa loves mambo)
(Mama loves mambo)

Loves a mambo tonight

Alone from night to night youll find me,
Too weak to break the chains that bind me,
I need no shackles to remind me,
Im just a prisoner of love!

For one command I stand and wait now,
From one whos master of my fate now,
I cant escape for its too late now,
Im just a prisoner of love!

Whats the good of my caring,
if someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I cant have another, for Im not free!

Shes in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her Im creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
Im just a prisoner of love . . .

Whats the good of my caring,
if someone is sharing those arms with me!
Although she has another,
I cant have another, for Im not free!

Shes in my dreams awake or sleeping,
Upon my knees to her Im creeping,
My very life is in her keeping,
Im just a prisoner of love . . .

Music by Russ Columbo and Clarence Gaskill,
with lyrics by Leo Robin and Published 1931

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love will hold you round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new sound
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

In the night you see the oval moon
Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy want to say

Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong that two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love

Then your love, you'll hold her round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new sound
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

In the night you see the oval moon
Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy want to say

Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong your two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love

Find a ring, out it on
For you know that this is really love, really love, really love

Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room
And somehow you know, you know even then
That somewhere you'll see her again and again

Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room
And night after night, as strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams

Who can explain it, who can tell you why
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try

Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love
When you feel her call you across a crowded room
Then fly to her side and make her your own
Or all through your life you may dream all alone

Once you have found her, never let her go
Once you have found her, never let her go

Somebody up there likes me,
somebody up there cares!
Somebody up there knows my fears,
and hears my silent prayers!

Talks with me when Im lonely,
walks with me when the night is long!
Yes, somebody up there likes me,
whatever betide me,
Hell comfort and guide me,
and stand beside me,
right or wrong!

Hell stand beside me,
right or wrong.

As sure as he likes the stars,
the earth and the gentle sea,
Im certain that somebody,
yes somebody up there
likes me!

Music by Bronislau Kaper
and lyrics by Sammy Cahn

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover,
Something in the way she woos me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .

Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover,
Something in her style that shows me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .

You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know . . .
You stick around, now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know . . .

< instrumental bridge >



Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her,
Something in the things she shows me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .

You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know . . .
You stick around, now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know . . .

Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover,
Something in the way she woos me . . .
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .

Words and Music by George Harrison

Sonata, my sonata
I hear your haunting theme
and I begin to dream!

You linger, my sonata
in every reverie
you bring your love to me!

Please, play on,
make my dream love stay
when you're gone she fades away!

Sonata, when I find her,
each tender note you play
will be my serenade!



Please, play on,
make my dream love stay
when you're gone she fades away!

Sonata, when I find her,
each tender note you play
will be my serenade!

. . . my sonata!

Do you recall that night in June when first we met?
Do you remember love the words we spoke?
Have you forgotten all the tender vows we made
In the silent magical moonbeams light?

Gone are the golden dreams
With summer roses
And all of our tender-est vows
Were made but to be broken

Song of songs
Song of memory
And broken melody of love and life
Nevermore to me
Can that melody
Fill the heart
With the joy once it knew

Oh night of bliss, night of June and love
Beneath the stars amid the roses
Oh dream of delight that faded at dawn
Oh song of songs
Oh night of bliss
When you were my whole world of love!

When you were my whole world of love...
Of love!

( Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset . . . )

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?

When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days,
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as they gaze . . .

Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset!
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears . . .

One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears . . .

( Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset . . . )

You came,
I was alone,
I should have known,
you were temptation!

You smiled,
luring me on,
my heart was gone,
and you were temptation!

It would be thrilling if you were willing,
and if it can never be, pity me,
for you were born to be kissed,
I cant resist, you are temptation,
and I am yours!

Here is my heart!
Take it and say, that well never part!
Im just a slave, only a slave,
to you!

Temptation,
Im your slave!

~ from the MGM film "Going Hollywood"
Music by Nacio Herb Brown, lyrics by Arthur Freed

The colors of my life, are bountiful and bold!
The purple glow of indigo, the gleam of green an' gold!
The splendor of a sunrise, the dazzle of a flame,
The glory of a rainbow, will put 'em all to shame!

No quiet browns or grays, I'll take my days instead,
And fill them 'till they overflow, with rose and cherry red!
And should this sunlit world, grow dark one day,
The colors of my life, will leave a shining light,
To show the way!



No quiet browns and grays, I'll take my days instead,
And fill them 'till they overflow, with rose and cherry red!
And should that sunlit world, grow dark one day,
The colors of my life, will leave a shining light,
The colors of my life will light the way!

When you're the father of boys,
How you worry,
But when you're the father of girls,
You do more than that,
You Pray!

From the time of diaper and pin,
‘Till the time they cry, "don't come in!"
‘Till the time you gown them in white,
And give them away,
You worry, you worry,
You worry, night and day!

When she's a plain little girl,
How you worry,
But when she's a beautiful thing,
You do more than that,
You pray!

Boys come ‘round when they want a date,
Girls may only stay home and wait,
When she's out you sit up all night,
With her first baby toy!

You trust her, but worry,
‘Cause you were once a boy!

When you're the father of boys,
How you worry,
But when you're the father of girls,
You do more than that,
You pray!

The summer wind came blowin' in, across the sea!
It lingered there to touch your hair, and walk with me!
All summer long we sang a song, and strolled the golden sand,
Two sweethearts and the summer wind!

Like painted kites, the days and nights, went flyin' by,
The world was new, beneath the blue umbrella sky!
And softer than a piper man, one day called to you,
I lost you to the summer wind!



Now I'm alone, I might have known, but who can guess?
I'd hear a sound, and turn around to emptiness!
I run to see, who can it be, that laughter on the stair?
But who is there?
The summer wind!

Music by Henry Mayer ( original Danish lyrics by Hans Bradtke ) 1965
English lyrics Johnny Mercer

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face?
You've been content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind

I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complain

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
I would be nothin' without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings

You are the wind beneath my wings

They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, so they tell me!

I can't recall who said it, I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful
Wonderful, in every way, so they say!




Words & Music by Irving Berlin

Till the end of time,
long as stars are in the blue,
long as theres a spring, a bird to sing,
Ill go on loving you.

Till the end of time,
long as roses bloom in May,
my love for you will grow deeper,
with every passing day.

Till the wells run dry,
and each mountain disappears,
Ill be there for you, to care for you,
through laughter and through tears.

So, take my heart in sweet surrender,
and tenderly say that Im,
the one you love and live for,
till the end of time.



Music and Lyrics by Ted Mossman and Buddy Kaye, Published 1945
Adapted from Chopin's Polonaise No. 6 in A Flat Major

Hip, hop, hoop . . . oh ho ah ha&nbsp;!
Hip, hop, hoop . . . oh ho ah ha&nbsp;!

Hip, I didn't know lips could kiss, ( Hip hip )
Hup I didn't know wives could flirt, ( Hup hup )
Hoop, I didn't know girls could be like "Tina Marie"

( Hoop hoop ) Hip I didn't know I could sing, ( Hip hip )
Like a penny boat in a gale . . .
What she's doin' will be the ruin of me.

( Oh ho ha ha )
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Ah ha!
You sweet little schemer,
Tina Marie ( Tina, Tina Marie )
Oh what you do,
Your brand of voo do's too much for me . . .

Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Ah ha!
Oh how I dream of stealin' your charms,
I'm gonna marry us,
Some day I'll carry you off in my arms . . .

( Oh ho ha ha )
Hip, I used to be a good time Joe, ( Hip hip )
Kiss a gal and just let her go, ( go go )
Hoop, I really was dealin' free till a Tina Marie . . .

Mister Cupid you stacked the deck,
Why'd you throw me a queen by heck . . .
Now she's braggin' she's fixed my wagon for me . . .

( Oh ho ah ha )
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Ah ha!
You sweet little schemer,
Tina Marie ( Tina, Tina Marie )
Oh what you do,
Your brand of voo do's too much for me . . .

Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Ah ha!
Ho, Ho, how I dream of stealin' your charms,
I'm gonna marry us,
Some day I'll carry you off in my arms . . .

( Ho, Ho ) Hip, she tells me to jump, an' I jump, ( Jump, jump! )
Hoop, she tells me to dance, an' I dance,
Gotta listen or get no kissin' from "Tina Marie"
( Hip hip! ) Hip, she really did clip my wings,
( Clip, clip! ) Hoop, I'm lookin' at weddin' rings,
Is it human the things she's doin' to me? ( Ho, Ho. Ah Ha! )

Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina, Ah ha!
Oh Ho, how I dream of stealin' your charms,
I'm gonna marry us,
Some day I'll carry you off in my arms . . .

Off in my arms . . .
Oh Ho! Ha Ha!
Tina Marie!

She may be weary,
but young girls they do get weary,
wearin' the same shabby dress yes,
but when she's weary,
try a little tenderness . . .

You know she's waitin'
just anticipatin
all the things she may never possess
while she's without them
try a little tenderness . . .

It's not just sentimental no no,
she has her grief and her care,
and a word that's soft an' gentle,
makes it easier to bear . . .

You won't regret it no no,
women don't forget it,
love is their whole happiness,


it's all so easy,
just try a little tenderness . . .

< instrumental break >
You got ta squeeze her
don't tease her
baby baby
hit me na
na na na
you got ta squeeze her
don't tease her

You won't regret it,
women don't forget it,
love is their whole happiness,
it's all so easy,
try a little tenderness . . .

Words and Music by Harry M. Woods,
James Campbell and Reginald Connelly

It's water . . . melon weather,
that summer kind of weather,
when people get together an' sing!

It's the time of year the stars
seem to dance with laughter
an' the moon's so big an' ripe
it can hardly climb!

So, why don't you meander
to your best gal's veranda
an' sorta, kinda, hand her the ring?

For it's the sweetheart kissin' season,
and all the world's in rhyme,
when it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time!

This is the time to sing
this kind of purdy little ditty
a walkin' along an' singin' a song
an' clinging to someone purdy,
the type of a tune to go with the moon
that's sailin' along a way on high!



After strollin' a while, for maybe a mile,
remember to stop an' pop the question!
if your timin' is right, your future is bright,
as bright as a watermelon sky!

An' then when you found a bench for two,
you found your cue to linger
the chance you sought, to show what you bought,
you happily thought to bring her,
to cinch the thing, you give her the ring,
you purchased from the five an' dime!

Take her in your arms an' whisper,
that you are mine all mine,
with that line to sell, I'm here to tell,
that you'll do well in watermelon time!

For it's the sweetheart kissin' season,
and all the world's in rhyme,
when it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time!

Music by Hoagy Carmichael
with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster

What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one that I have been thinkin' of!
What kind of man is this, an empty shell?
A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell!

What kind of lips are these, that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am!

Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll kno' what kind of fool I am!

Can't sleep at night without dreams of you,
And now you fill my daydreams too!

Where you're concerned,
when did this feeling start to grow in me,
where you're concerned?
Why did it take so long for me to see?
I can't pretend I'm just a friend,
where you're concerned?

If love is just a game, then I can't play,
where you're concerned!
I never thought I'd feel this way, but now,
I want to live, just to give,
where you're concerned!

Can't sleep at night without dreams of you,
and now you fill my daydreams too!

Where you're concerned,
If love is just a game, then I can't play,
where you're concerned!
I never thought I'd feel this way, but now,
I want to live, just to give,
where you're concerned!
