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 |

Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town I'll find some crowded avenue Though it will be empty without you Can't get used to losin' you No matter what I try to do Gonna live my whole life through Loving you Called up some girl I used to know After I heard her say "Hello" Couldn't think of anything to say Since you're gone it happens every day Can't get used to losin' you No matter what I try to do Gonna live my whole life through Loving you I'll find somebody, wait and see Who am I kiddin', only me 'Cause no one else could take your place Guess that I am just a hopeless case Can't get used to losin' you No matter what I try to do Gonna live my whole life through Loving you I can't get used to losin' you No matter what I try to do Gonna live my whole life through Loving you |

Words and Music by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe
from the Broadway musical "My Fair Lady" Previously charted in 1956 by Vic Damone (#4), Eddie Fisher (#18), and Lawrence Welk (#96) I have often walked down this street before But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before All at once am I several stories high Knowing I'm on the street where you live Are there lilac trees in the heart of town? Can you hear a lark in any other part of town? Does enchantment pour out of every door? No, it's just on the street where you live And oh, the towering feeling just to know somehow you are near The overpowering feeling that any second you may suddenly appear People stop and stare, they don't bother me For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be Let the time go by, I won't care if I Can be here on the street where you live Transcribed by Ronald E.

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 Transcribed by Ronald E.

Music by Mr. Acker Bilk
Words by Robert Mellin Peaked at # 73 in 1962 This is a vocal cover of the instrumental by Mr. Acker Bilk's #1 two months earlier. Andy Williams also covered it at the same time to # 38. It was used as the title tune of a British TV show. Here I stand, watching the tide go out So all alone and blue Just dreaming dreams of you I watched your ship as it sailed out to sea Taking all my dreams And taking all of me The sighing of the waves The wailing of the wind The tears in my eyes burn Pleading, "My love, return" Why, oh, why must I go on like this? Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore? The sighing of the waves The wailing of the wind The tears in my eyes burn Pleading, "My love, return" Why, oh, why must I go on like this? Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore? |

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 and how Somewhere in her smile she knows That I don't need no other lover Something in her style that shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how 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 knows And all I have to do is think of her Something in the things she shows me I don't want to leave her now You know I believe and how |

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 |

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 |

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. |
