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 Transcribed by Ronald E.

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 |

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I'll 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 you so 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 lived before and my heart is very sure No one else could love you more I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure No one else could love you more |

Words by Johnny Mercer and Music by Henry Mancini from the 1963 film "Charade" starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn When we played our charade We were like children posing Playing at games, acting out names Guessing the parts we played Oh what a hit we made We came on next to closing Best on the bill, lovers until Love left the masquerade Fate seemed to pull the strings I turned and you were gone While from the darkened wings The music box played on Sad little serenade Song of my heart's composing I hear it still, I always will Best on the bill Charade Transcribed by Ronald E.

May each day of the week be a good day,
May the Lord always watch over you, And may all of your hopes turn to wishes, And may all of your wishes come true. May each day of the month be a good day, May you make friends with each one you meet, And may all of your day dreams be mem'ries, And may all of your mem'ries be sweet. Bridge: The weeks turn to months, and the months into years, There'll be sadness and joy, there'll be laughter and tears. But one thing I pray to the Heavens above: May each of your days be a day full of love. May each day in the year be a good day, May each dawn find you happy and gay, And may all of your days be as lovely As the one you share with me today. May each day in your life be a good day, And good night |

Love Story - Andy Williams
Where do I begin, To tell the story of how great a love can be, The sweet love story that is older than the sea, The simple truth about the love she brings to me. Where do I start.... With her first hello, She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine. They'll never be another love another time. She came into my life and made the living fine. She fills my heart. She fills my heart with very special things With angel songs and with wild imaginings She fills my soul with so much love, That any where I go I'm never lonely. With her around who could be lonely. I reach for her hand, it's always there. How long does it last, Can love be measured by the hours in a day, I have no answers now, but this much I can say, I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away And she'll be there. How long does it last, Can love be measured by the hours in a day, I have no answers now, but this much I can say, I know I'll need her until the stars all burn away And she'll be there.... |

Spring was never waiting for us, girl
It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants I recall the yellow cotton dress It was foaming like a wave On the ground around your knees The birds, like tender babies in your hands And the old men playing Checkers by the trees MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain And I don't think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no, oh no There will be another song for me For I will sing it There will be another dream for me Oh, someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life, you'll still be the one Little girl I will take my life into my hands, I will use it I will win the worship in their eyes oh and I will lose it I will have the things that I desire And my passion flow like rivers through the sky And after all the loves of my life After all the loves of my life I'll be thinking of you And wondering why MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Oh, someone left the cake out in the rain And I don't think that I can take it Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh no, oh no, no |

I shared the golden sun with her,
In days that are no more. I used to love to run with her Along the sandy shore. She had a special prayer for me To help my world go right. Her hand was always there for me The coldest winter night. CHORUS: I hear the music from across the way, Across the bridges of my mind. I lift the misty shades of yesterday To catch the dreams I left behind. It was a joy to be with her, To watch the way she smiled. I guess I just felt free with her, So free and young and wild. I really came to love that girl; How much she'll never know. I need the nearness of that girl; I really miss her so. CHORUS: I hear the music from across the way, Across the bridges of my mind. I lift the misty shades of yesterday To catch the dreams I left behind. (Repeat) I hear the music from across the way, Across the bridges of my mind. I lift the misty shades of yesterday To catch the dreams I left behind. (Fade) |

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town Up and down and over and across, romance is boss Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care It's keepin' track of the pack watching them watching back That makes the world go 'round "What's that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh They're making music to watch girls by Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care It's keepin' track of the pack watching them watching back That makes the world go 'round "What's that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh They're making music to watch girls by The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene La, la, la ,la |

Speak softly, love and hold me warm
against your heart I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start We're in a world, our very own Sharing a love that only few have ever known Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all becau-au-se You came into my world with love so softly love Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all becau-au-se You came into my world with love so softly love |

From the movie "What Did You Do In the War, Daddy?" starring James Coburn (peak Billboard position # 49 in 1966) If I could hold you in the arms of love tonight I'd never let you go As the hours go by I'd show you why we've waited for this As two lovers whisper low If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite Imagine the joys I'd know The day has died away, let's find a hideaway And share the promise of a new tomorrow In the arms of love tonight The day has died away, let's find a hideaway And share the promise of a new tomorrow In the arms of love tonight Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Transcribed by Ronald E.

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 be better far than you are 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 be willing to give when there's no more to give To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live 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 reach the unreachable star. |

I'm looking for that lonely street I've got a sad, sad tale to tell I need a place to go and weep Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet Perhaps upon that lonely street There's someone such as I Who came to bury broken dreams And watch an old love di-ie If I could find that lonely street Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"

(Hummed intro)
The harbor lights were shining, The moon was at its high. The captain said, "Thank God we're home! We've drunk the barrels dry." The mizzen mast was shaken, And the lanterns all burned low, I'd never thought we'd make it But we've twenty leagues to go So blow you southern trades And guide me safely to the shore, I'll never ever gonna sail The seven seas no more CHORUS: I don't want to miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tide and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man Comin' on home to you I don't want to miss the wind in my eyes, The shimmerin' light when the seagull flies Lo, I've traveled far I'm a home loving man, Home is where you are The crowd upon the quayside Their faces long and drawn Are suddenly awakened As we sail in on the dawn The wives, the sons, the lovers, Who never gave up hope All breathe a sigh together As they reach to catch the rope God bless you, southern trades, You got me safely back this time Oh, you'll never have the need again To save this soul of mine CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS: Yes, I don't want to miss the sand in my hair, The roll of the tides and the salt in the air Deep inside it's true I'm a home lovin' man Comin' on home to you...

(peak billboard position # 82 in 1971) I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but baby can't you see (baby can't you see now) There's no one more important to me (baby) Baby can't you please see through me 'cause we're alone now and I'm singin' this song for you You taught me precious secrets of the truth, withholdin' nothin' You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody (listen to the melody) cause my love's in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine (you are a friend of mine) And when my life is over, remember when we were together We were alone and I was singin' this song for you We were alone and I was singin' this song for you We were alone and I was singin' this song, singin' this song for you Transcribed by ronald e. hontz |

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide, I Don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, heh... but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show, I Know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind That I put down in words... How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind, while I wrote this song It's for people like you that, keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green, or they're blue Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody that this is your song It may be quite simple but now that its done I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind That I put down in words... How wonderful life is while you're in the world I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind That I put down in words... How wonderful life is while you're in the world |

Don't look so sad. I know it's over
But life goes on and this world keeps on turning Let's just be glad we had this time to spend together There is 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 Blow softly against my window 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 Blow softly against my window Make believe you love me One more time For the good times |

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 going through me? Split the second that I never think of you Oh, how impossible Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore? It's just impossible If I had you, could I ever run for more? It's just impossible And tomorrow, should you 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 Can the ocean keep from rushing to the shore? It's just impossible If I had you, could I ever run for more? It's just impossible And tomorrow, should you 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, impossible, impossible |

We've only just begun to live, so much of life ahead
We'll find a place where there's room to grow Before the rising sun we fly so many roads to choose We start out walking and learn to run And yes we've just begun Sharing horizons that are new to us Watching the signs along the way Talking it over, just the two of us Working together day to day And when the evening comes we smile So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow We've only just begun |

I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread. I think I love you This morning I woke up with this feeling I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room. I think I love you I think I love you so what am I so afraid of I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for I think I love you isn't that what life is made of Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way. I don't know what I'm up against I don't know what it's all about I got so much to think about Hey, I think I love you so what am I so afraid of I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for I think I love you isn't that what life is made of Though it worries me to say I never felt this way. Believe me you really don't have to worry I only wanna make you happy and if you say "hey go away" I will But I think better still I'd better stay around and love you Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face Do you think you love me? I think I love you I think I love you (I think I love you) I think I love you (I think I love you) I think I love you (I think I love you) I think I love you (I think I love you) |

Susanne, the plans they made put an end to you I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song Just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand Just got to see me through another day My body's aching and my time is at hand I won't make it any other way I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again Now walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun Lord, knows when the cold wind blows, it'll turn your head around Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line To talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again I've seen fire and I've seen rain I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought that I'd see you again |
