If they asked me, I could write a book; About the way you walk, and whisper; And look. I could write a preface; On how we met; That the world will never forget. And the simple; Secret of the plot; Is just to tell them; That I love you, alot. Then the world discovers; As my book ends; How to make two lovers of friends |

And when I hear you call so softly to me,
I don't hear a call at all, I hear a rhapsody. And when your sparkling eyes are smiling at me, Then soft through the starlit skies, I hear a rhapsody My days are so blue when you're away, My heart longs for you, so won't you stay? My darling, hold me tight and whisper to me Then soft through the starry night I hear a rhapsody |

My girl is violin and candlelight,
My girl is star-shine on a summer night. Lucky heart to be part of a love like this, Where every single kiss is a short-cut to heaven. Heaven knows, she's everything that's dear to me, She smiles, and cloudy days are clear to me. Yes, the world is my oyster and I got the pearl, And I'm happy 'cause I got my girl. My girl is autumn days and skies of gold, A fire to dream by, when the night is cold. Yes, the world is my oyster and I've got the pearl, I'm happy 'cause I've got my girl. |

Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diff'rent tune One that they could croon As only they can They only had the rhythm So they started swaying 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 Singing 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 a hill They took a new note Pushed it through a horn 'Til it was worn Into a blue note And then they nursed it, rehearsed it And gave out the news That the Southland gave birth to the blues! |

I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain I've got some habits That I can't explain Could start for the corner Turn up in Spain Why try to change me now I sit and daydream I've got daydreams galore Cigarette ashes There they go on the floor I go away weekends And leave my keys in the door But why try to change me now Why can't I be more conventional People talk People stare So I try But that's not for me Cuz I can't see My kind of crazy world Go passing me by So let people wonder Let 'em laugh Let 'em frown You know I'll love you Till the moon's upside down Don't you remember I was always your clown Why try to change me now Don't you remember I was always your clown Why try to change me Why try to change me now |

South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray South of the border - down Mexico way She was a picture - in old Spanish lace Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face 'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay South of the border - Mexico way Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna" Never dreaming that we were parting Then I lied as a whispered "manjanna" 'Cause our tomorrow never came South of the border - I jumped back one day There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay South of the border - Mexico way |

You vowed your love
From here to eternity A love so true, It never would die You gave your lips Gave them so willingly How could I know Your kiss meant goodbye? Now I'm alone With only a memory My empty arms Will never know why... Though you are gone This love that you left with me Will live from here to eternity. Now I'm alone With only a memory My empty arms Will never know why... Though you are gone This love that you left with me will live... From here to eternity. |

Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you If you're young at heart For it's hard you will find To be narrow of mind If you're young at heart You can go to extremes With impossible schemes You can laugh when your dreams Fall apart at the seams And life gets more exciting with each passing day And love is either in your heart Or on it's way Don't you know that it's worth Every treasure on earth To be young at heart For as rich as you are It's much better by far To be young at heart And if you should survive to 105 Look at all you'll derive Out of being alive And here is the best part You've had a head start If you are among the very Young at heart And if you should survive to 105 Think of all you'll derive Out of being alive And here is the best part You've had a head start If you are among the very Young at heart... |

Hold me in your arms dear - dream with me Cradled by your kisses - tenderly While a choir of angels - from above Sing our melody of love Heart to heart forever - lips entwined I am yours - and you are mine Heaven wrote the music - up above For our melody of love |

Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness Thrown by three hopeful lovers Which one will the fountain bless Three hearts in a fountain Each heart longing for its home There they lie in the fountain Somewhere in the heart of Rome Which one will the fountain bless Which one will the fountain bless Three coins in a fountain Through the ripples how they shine Just one wish will be granted One heart will wear a Valentine Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine |

Last night when we were young Love was a star A song unsung Life was so new So real so right Ages ago last night Today the world is old You flew away and time grew cold Where is that star That shone so bright Ages ago last night To think that spring had depended On merely this a look, a kiss To think that something so splended Could slip away in one little daybreak So now let's reminisce and recollect the sighs and the kisses The arms that clung When we were young last night |

Went to see a movie show
Found myself an empty row Thought the show was just alright Same old Saturday night Then I made the usual stop Coffee at the coffee shop Friendly face nowhere in sight Same old Saturday night I really thought - the papers I bought Would help me forget you for a while Believe me honey - the funnies weren't funny They didn't even make me smile How I wish you'd lift the phone Fun is fun - but not alone 'Til you let me hold you tight Same old Saturday night Only your face - can help me erase That same old Saturday night |
