( I can't help falling in love with you. )

Wise men say, only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you.

Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.

Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I can't help falling in love with you.

( Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes, )

Some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I can't help falling in love with you,

For I can't help falling in love with you.

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

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 when your troubles start multiplyin'
They just might
It's easy to forget them without tryin'
With just a pocket full of starlight

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

(Save it for a rainy day)
Save it for a rainy day

I've got you under my skin,
I've got you deep in the heart of me,
So deep in my heart . . . you're really a part of me,
I've got you under my skin!

I tried so . . . not to give in,
I said to myself . . . this affair, never will go so well!
But why should I try to resist,
When 'Darling' I know so well,
I've got you under my skin!

I'd sacrifice anything, come what might,
For the sake of having you near!
In spite of the warning voice, that comes in the night,
And repeats, and repeats, in my ear . . .

"Don't you know little fool . . . you never can win!
Use your mentality, wake up to reality!"

But each time I do . . . just the thought of you,
Makes me 'stop' before I begin,
'Cause I've got you . . . Hmm I got you,
I got you . . . under my skin!

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .

Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?

I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow
to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea

Lonely rivers sigh,


"Wait for me, wait for me"
"I'll be comin' home, wait for me!"

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .

Time goes by so slowly
an' time can do so much.
Are you still mine?

I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me

Words and Music by Alex North
and Hy Zaret

It had to be you, it had to be you,
I wandered around an' finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinkin' of you,
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill,
With all your faults, I love you still,
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you!



< instrumental verse >

Nobody else gave me a thrill,
With all your faults, I love you still,
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you!
It just had to be you!

~ from the 1944 Hollywood musical "Show Business"
Music by Isham Jones and lyrics by Gus Kahn, 1924, 1944

Once upon a time,
A girl with moonlight in her eyes,
Put her hand in mine,
And said she loved me so . . .
But that was once upon a time,
Very long ago!

Once upon a hill,
we sat beneath the willow tree,
Counting all the stars,
And waiting for the dawn,
But that was once upon a time,
Now, the tree is gone!

How the breeze ruffled through her hair,
How we always laughed,
As though tomorrow wasn't there . . .
We were young,
And didn't have a care,
Where did it go?

Once upon a time,
The world was sweeter than we knew,
Everything was ours,
How happy we were then . . .
But, somehow, once upon a time,
Never comes again!

Raindrops on roses,
And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles,
And warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages,
Tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Cream colored ponies,
An' crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells an' sleigh bells,
An' schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Girls in white dresses,
With blue satin sashes,
Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters,
That melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad . . .

Roses....hmmm kittens...
Kettles.......mittens....
La dee da, la dee da,
La dee da, da,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And little by little my heavy heart sings . . .

And then I don't feel so bad . . .

< instrumental verse >

Fairy tales can come true,
It can happen to you,
If you're young at heart!

( Young at heart! )

For it's hard you will find
To be narrow of mind,
If you're young at heart!

( 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,
An' love is either in your heart,
Or, on the way!

Don't you know that it's worth,
Every treasure on earth,
To be young at heart!

( Young at heart! )

For as rich as you are,
It's much better by far,
To be young at heart!



( Young at heart! )

And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!

And here is the best part,
You have a head start . . .
If you are among,
The very young at heart!

( 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 a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!

And here is the best part,
You have a head start . . .
If you are among,
The very young . . .
at heart!

~ featured in the 1955 film "Young at Heart"
Music by Johnny Richards with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, 1954
Arranged by O.B. Masingill

You ain't been blue,
No, no, no . . .
You ain't been blue,
'Till you had that mood indigo . . .

That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .

Always get the mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye . . .
In the evenin' when the lights are low,
I'm so lonesome, I could die!

'Cause there's nobody,


Who cares about me . . .
I'm just a fool,
Who's bluer than blue can be,
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down an' die!

< instrumental break >


That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .

Music by Duke Ellington and Barney Bigard
with lyrics by Mitchell Parish , 1931

There's a song in the air,
But the fair senorita
doesn't seem to care
for the song in the air.
So I'll sing to my mule
if you're sure she won't think that
I am just a fool
serenading a mule.

Amigo mio, does she not have a dainty bray?
She listens carefully to each little word we play.
La bella Senorita?
Si, si, mi muchachito,
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way.
But try as she may,
in her voice there's a flaw!
And all that the lady can say
is "E-E-AW!"

There's a light in her eye,
Tho' she may try to hide it,
She cannot deny,
there's a light in her eye.
Oh! the charm of her smile


so beguiles all who see her
that they'd ride a mile
for the charm of her smile.

Amigo mio, is she listenin' to my song?
No, no, mi muchachito, how could you be so wrong?
La bella Senorita?
Si, Si, la senorita,
If she knew all the words,

Well, maybe she'd sing along . . .

Her face is a dream
like an angel I saw!
But all that my darlin' can scream
is: "E-E-AW!"
Senorita donkey sita, not so fleet as a mosquito,
but so sweet like my Chiquita,
you're the one for me.

You're . . . the one . . . for me!

Music by Rudolf Friml and Herbert Stothart,
with lyrics by Robert Wright and George Forest , 1937

To know you, is to love you,
And I love you . . . 'cause I know you . . .
Are such a sweetheart . . .
that when you walk down the street,
Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat!

The others, who have met you,
Better start in . . . to forget you . . .
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . love me!

Were you the sun, it would be twice as sunny,
Were you a bee, there would be sweeter honey,
Were you a tune everyone would be croonin'
Harmonizin' out in the street!
You're such a bundle of me oh my,
And that's the reason when you go by,
Each heart naturally skips a beat!

Dear . . .


The others . . .
( Were you the spring, you would be twice as springy! )
Who have met you . . .
( Were you a vine, you would be twice as clingy! )
Better start in . . .
( Were you the moon, everyone would be spoonin'! )
To forget you . . .
( Every night would be mighty sweet! )
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . love me!

Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . everyone should know you . . .
Know . . . yes, know . . . you love me!


Music by Robert Allen
with lyrics by Allan Roberts , 1952

Linda, Linda . . .
Morning noon an' night I find
Linda's always on my mind . . .

When I go to sleep,
I never count sheep,
I count all the charms about Linda!

An' lately it seems,
In all of my dreams,
I walk with my arms about Linda . . .

But what good does it do me,
For Linda doesn't know I exist,
Can't help feelin' gloomy,
Think of all the lovin' I've missed!

We pass on the street,
My heart skips a beat,
I say to myself, "Hello Linda!"

If only she'd smile,
I'd stop for a while,
Then I would get to know Linda!

But miracles still happen,
And when my lucky star begins to shine,
With one luck break I'll make Linda . . .

Someday I'll betcha,


I'm gonna getcha!

< instrumental break >

Oh, Linda, Linda . . .

< instrumental break >

My Linda, Linda . . .

< instrumental break >

We pass on the street,
My heart skips a beat,
I say to myself, "Hello Linda!"

If only she'd smile,
I'd stop for a while,
Then I would get to know Linda!

But miracles still happen,
And when my lucky star begins to shine,
With one luck break I'll make Linda . . .

I'll make Linda mine!
Hmmm


Words and Music by Jack Lawrence, 1947

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

When Johnny Jones was serenading Mary,
He sure could quote a lot of poetry,
But he'd much rather tell her,
What he learned in his speller,
When they both attended PS 33!

A ~ You're adorable . . .
B ~ You're so beautiful . . .
C ~ You're a cutie full of charms . . .
D ~ You're deliteful. . .
E ~ You're so eligent . . .
F ~ You're a feather in my arms . . .
G ~ You look good to me . . .
H ~ You're so heavenly . . .
I ~ You're the one I idolize . . .
J ~ We're like Jack and Jill . . .


K ~ You're so kiss-able . . .
L ~ Your're the love-light of my eyes . . .
M, N, O, P . . .
I could go on all day . . .
Q, R, S, T . . .
Alphabetically speaking you're OK!
U ~ Made my life complete . . .
V ~ You're so very sweet . . .
W, X, Y, Z . . .
It's fun to wonder through,
The alphabet with you,
To tell you what you mean to me!


Music and Lyrics by Sidney Lipman, Fred Wise
and Buddy Kaye, 1948

( Do you love me? Do you love me? )

In the still of the night, as I gaze from my window,
At the moon in it's flight, my thoughts all stray to you . . .

In the still of the night, while the world is in slumber,
Oh the times without number, Darling when I say to you,
"Do you love me, as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dreams come true? ( Will you be my dream come true? )
Or, will this dream of mine fade out of sight?"


Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill,
In the chill, still of the night . . . ( Do you love me? )

( Do you love me? )

In the still of the night . . .

Words and Music by Cole Porter
Arranged by Joe Lipman

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!

Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
It's so new to me, what you do to me
Hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
When you're holding me tight

Never dreamed anybody could kiss that-a-way
Bring me bliss that-a-way, what a kiss that-a-way
What a wonderful feelin' to feel that-a-way
Tell me where have you been all my life

Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
It's so new to me, what you do to me
Hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
When you're holding me tight

Never knew that my heart could go "zing" that-a-way
Ting-a-ling that-a-way, make me sing that-a-way
Said "goodbye" to my troubles, they went that-a-way
Ever since you came into my life

Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
It's so new to me, what you do to me
Hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
When you're holding me tight

There's a cute little cottage for two that-a-way
Skies are blue that-a-way, dreams come true that-a-way
If you say I can share it with you that-a-way
I'll be happy the rest of my life

Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
It's so new to me, what you do to me
Hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
When you're holding me tight

Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
How my future will shine
Hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
From the moment you're mine

HOT DOG!!

Till the end of time
Long as stars are in the blue
Long as there's a spring, a bird to sing
I'll 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
I'll be there for you, to care for you
Through laughter and through tears

So take my heart in sweet surrender
And tenderly say that I'm
The one you love and live for
Till the end of time

Till the wells run dry
And each mountain disappears
I'll be there for you, to care for you
Through laughter and through tears

So take my heart in sweet surrender
And tenderly say that I'm
The one you love and live for
Till the end of time

Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner of love

For one command I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner of love

What's the good of my caring
If someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another
I can't have another, for I'm not free

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love

What's the good of my caring
If someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another
I can't have another, for I'm not free

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love

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 can't resist, you are temptation,
and I am yours!

Here is my heart!
Take it and say, that we'll never part!
I'm just a slave, only a slave,
to you!

Temptation,
I'm your slave!

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get from you is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .
My poor heart is saggin' . . .

The way you toss my heard around's a cryin' shame,
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same!
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart,
Oh you won't be satisfied until you break my heart!

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .

My poor heart is saggin' . . .



You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get from you is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .
My poor heart is saggin' . . .

The way you toss my heard around's a cryin' shame,
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same!
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart . . .
It doesn't seem fair ( those little white lies )
But you don't seem to care ( and now I realize )
You won't be satisfied,
Until you've broken my heart!

Music and Lyrics by Freddy James
and Larry Stock

When first I saw the love light in your eye
I dreamt the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we drifled far apart
I never dream, but what I dream of thee

I love you as I never loved before
Sincefirst I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is O'er
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
2.

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, an' deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one o' those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together,
An' won't it be fine?

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine!



< instrumental bridge >

( You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me )
Come rain or come shine
( Happy together, unhappy together,
An' won't it be fine? )

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine!

( I'm gonna love you . . . rain . . . )
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you . . .

from the Stage musical "St. Louis Woman"
Music by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, 1946

You made me love you,
I didn't wanna to do it, I didn't wanna do it,
You made me want you, and all the time you knew it,
I guess you always knew it,
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad,
But there were times, dear, you made me feel so bad . . .

You made me sigh for,
I didn't wanna tell you, didn't wanna tell you,


I want some love that's true, yes I do,
'Deed I do, you know I do,
Gimmy, gimmy me what I cry for,
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad,
You know you got the brand of kisses that I die for,
You know you made me love you&nbsp;!

~ featured in the 1955 Hollywood musical "Love Me or Leave Me"
Music by James V. Monaco and lyrics by Joseph McCarthy , 1913

I may be wrong, but,
I think you're wonderful!
I may be wrong, but,
I think you're swell!

I like your style, say,
I think you're marvellous,
But I can't see
So how can I tell?

All of my shirts are unsightly,
All of my ties are a crime,
If dear in you I've picked rightly,
It's the very first time!

You came along, say,
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but,
I may be wrong!

< instrumental bridge >

I may be wrong, but,
I think you're swell!

< instrumental bridge >

But I can't see
So how can I tell?

All of my shirts are unsightly,
All of my ties are a crime,
If dear in you I've picked rightly,
It's the very first time!

You came along, say,
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but,
I may be wrong!

Lately . . .
I find myself out gazin' at stars,
Hearing guitars,
Like someone in love . . .

Sometimes . . .
The things I do astound me,
Mostly . . .
Whenever you're around me . . .

Lately . . .
I seem to walk, as though I had wings,
Bump into things,
Like someone in love . . .

Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
An' feelin' like someone in love . . .

< instrumental bridge >

I bump into things,
Like someone in love . . .

Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
An' feelin' like someone in love . . .

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

If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know!

If I loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
'Round in circles I'd go!

Longing to tell you
But afraid an' shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!

Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you
If I loved you!

< instrumental break >
< repeat last verse >

At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
and to find it how often I've tried
but my life is a race, just a wild goose chase
and my dreams have all been denied!

Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame?
I wonder if it could be me?

I'm always chasing rainbows
watching clouds drifting by!
My schemes are just like all of my dreams
ending in the sky!

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain!
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain!

Believe me . . .

I'm always chasing rainbows
waiting to find a little blue bird in vain!

( Rainbows seem to fade away! )

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 . . .

Long ago and far away,
I dreamed a dream one-day,
And now that dream is here beside me!

Long the skies were overcast,
But now the clouds have past,
You're here at last!

Chills run up and down my spine,
Aladdin's lamp is mine,
The dream I dreamed was not denied me!

Just one look and then I knew,
That all I longed for long ago,
Was you!

Long ago, so long ago and far away!
So long ago!
So long ago and far away,
I dreamed a dream one-day,
And now that dream is here beside me!
Long the skies were overcast,
But now the clouds have past,
You're here at last!

Chills run up and down my spine,
Aladdin's lamp is mine,
The dream I dreamed was not denied me!

Just one look and then I knew,
That all I longed for long ago,
So long ago, was you!

Just you!

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!
< instrumental break >
( 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!

Words and Music by Carl Sigman, 1956

Well I took my baby to the carnival
an' I heard that barker yell ( Hey! Hey! )
"Come on an' win yourself a purdy Kewpie Doll,
all you gotta do is ring the bell!"
Well I swung the hammer just as hard as I could,
an' you should have heard the wild applause . . . ( Hooray! )
When "bong" went the bell
and the man said,
"Well, I guess the Kewpie Doll is yours!"( Yeah Yeah! )

I said, "Gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
or a high school banner for my wall,
'cause I got me a real live Kewpie Doll
an' she's the cutest one of them all!"

( Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! Kew Kew Kewpie Doll!
Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! )

Ah then, we walked down the midway
'till we saw a crowd an' the man said "Try your skill,
five shots for a quarter, make a duck hit the water
an' give your little baby a thrill"
Well, my baby smiled an' she kissed me once
an' I felt I was nine feet tall
Oh! five shots crashed and the five ducks splashed
an' the man gave me a Kewpie Doll!

I said, "Gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
or a high school banner for my wall,
'cause I got me a real live Kewpie Doll
an' she's the cutest one of them all!"

( Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! Kew Kew Kewpie Doll!
Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! )

Ah then, my baby said, "Honey, let m try my luck
an' knock the milk bottles off the shelf!"
You should have seen this chick, she was a dead-eye Dick
Hey! I couldn't do it better myself!
An' then my face got red and my chest swelled up
an' my eyes bugged outta my head
'cause when the prize turned out to be a Kewpie Doll
this is what my baby said, SHE SAID . . .

"Gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
or a high school banner for my wall,
'cause I got me a real live Kewpie Doll
an' he's the cutest one of them all!"

I said, "She's the cutest one of them all!"
An' she's the cutest one of them all! ( Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! )
An' she's the cutest one of them all! ( Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! )
An' she's the cutest one of them all!

We kiss in a shadow
we hide from the moon
our meetings are few
and over too soon!

We speak in a whisper
afraid to be heard
when people are near
we speak not a word!

Alone in our secret
together we sigh
for one smiling day
to be free!

To kiss in the sunlight
and say to the sky
behold and believe what you see
behold how my lover loves me!

< instrumental break >

To kiss in the sunlight
and say to the sky
behold and believe what you see
behold how my lover loves me!

Last night when the moon was bright you called me darlin'
and you whispered pretty little love words in my ear
was it just moon-talk, only moon-talk
or did those pretty little love words mean you're sincere? ( sincere! )
Did those pretty little love words mean you're sincere? ( sincere! )

Last night when the moon was bright you said "I love you!"
and you painted pretty little castles in the air
was it just moon-talk, only moon-talk
or did those pretty little castles mean you really care? ( care! )
Did those pretty little castles mean you really care? ( care! )

I know that I . . . meant every sigh
when you hugged me the way you hugged me
an' you kissed me the way you kissed me
in the moonlight! ( Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba! )

Last night when you held me tight and called me darlin'
and you told me that you would die if we should part
was it just moon-talk, only moon-talk
or did those pretty little love words come from your heart? ( heart! )
Did those pretty little love words come from your heart?
( pretty little love words come from your heart! )

Hmmm . . . moon-talk! . . . Hmmm . . . moon-talk! . . .
makes you hug me the way you hugged me
makes you kiss me the way you kissed me
in the moonlight! ( I love ya, love ya, love ya, love ya! )

Last night when you held me tight and called me darlin'
and you told me that you would die if we should part
was it just moon-talk, only moon-talk
or did those pretty little love words come from your heart? ( heart! )
Did those pretty little love words come from your heart?
( pretty little love words come from your heart! )

Moon talk, Oh moon talk!

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me, like a vine!
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine!

As the years disappear in the twilight of time
With a sigh we will fondly recall ( fondly recall! )
All the plans that we made, how we kissed unafraid
In the shade of the old Ivy Rose!

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me, like a vine!
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine!

Hand in hand as we stand 'neath the old campus moon
Make believe that tomorrow is here ( Here My Love! )
Picture me close to you, in a dream house for two
Where the ivy grows greener each year!

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me, like a vine!
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always . . .
Be mine! ( You'll be mine! )

I hear singing and there's no one there,
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare,
All day long I seem to walk on air,
I wonder why, I wonder why ?

I keep tossing in my sleep at night,
And what's more I've lost my appetite,
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies,
Are twinkling in my eyes,
I wonder why ?

You don't need analyzin'
It is not so surpisin'
That you feel very strange but nice!
Your heart goes pitter patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice!

Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rub-down with a velvet glove!
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick, you're just in love!

< repeat verse and chorus simultaneously >

Now you know why!
Now I know why!
I'm just in love!

Thy people will be my people my love . . .

Whither thou goest, I will go.
Wherever thou lodgest, I will lodge.
Thy people will be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go!

For as in that story, long ago,
The same sweet love story, now is so,
Thy people shall be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go!

Whither thou goest I will go,


Wherever thou lodgest, I will lodge,
Thy people will be my people my love,
Whither thou goest I will go. . .

For as in that story long ago,
The same sweet love story now is so,
Thy people shall be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go

I will go . . .

Music and Lyrics Guy Singer, 1954

No summer cloud,
Is white enough to match,
The color of her hair!

No span of time,
Is long enough to ever end,
Her tender care!

And since I'm speaking of,
My Mother's love,
Please let me tell you Sir!

No well on earth,
Is deep enough to drown,
The love I hold for her!

Only One can make the valley deep,
The mountain high, the oak tree strong,
Only One can bless us while we sleep,
And give us faith to keep,
To keep our whole life long . . .

Only One can hear each prayer we say,
And pray that we might learn His way,
So has it always been, so shall it always be,
As long as we believe in only One. . .

Only one can make the valley deep,
The mountain high, the oak tree strong . . .
Only one can bless us while we sleep,
And give us faith to keep,
To keep our whole life long . . .

Rich or poor, no matter who we are,
We all are one to only One,
So has it always been, so shall it always be,
For all eternity,
Only One!

I peeked in to say goodnight,
And then I heard my child in prayer:
"And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair . . ."

All the stores were closed and shuttered,
All the streets were dark and bare . . .
In our town, no scarlet ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair . . .

Through the night my heart was aching,
Just before the dawn was breaking,


I peeked in and on her bed,
In gay profusion lying there,
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for her hair . . .

If I live to be two hundred,
I will never know from where,
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair!

Music by Evelyn Danzig
with lyrics by Jack Segal , 1949

I'll give my hand to those who cannot see,
The sunshine or the fallin' rain.

I'll sing my song to cheer the weary along,
For I may never pass this way again!

I'll share my faith with every troubled heart,
So I shall not have lived in vain.



I'll give my hand, I'll sing my song,
I'll share my faith, because I know,
That the time is now to fulfill each vow,
For I may never pass this way again!

Words and Music by Murray Wizel and Irving Melcher
arranged by Jack Andrews

A still small voice will speak to you one day.
A still small voice will call to you and say,
" I am the earth, the sky, the brightest star on high,
the tallest tree, the smallest drop of dew."
A still small voice one day will say to you!

The still small voice from every voice apart,
Will whisper in the language of your heart,


" I am the night, the day, the blessing and the way,
the dream that keeps a lonely heart aglow!"
Once you have heard the word a still small voice will say,
your heart will answer,
"Yes, I know!"

Music by Ben Weisman
with lyrics by Al Stillman

I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses . . .

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

He speaks and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing . . .

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night . . .
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night . . .

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber steeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night . . .

While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night . . .

O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night . . .

When you come to the end of the day,
And the night calls your worries away,
Do you ever watch the setting sun,
And dream of things that you might have done?

Do you turn from your work with a smile?
Do you feel that it's all worth the while?
As you dream the twilight hours away,
When you come to the end of the day!

( ac-cent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, an' latch on! )

You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
An' latch on
To the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between!

You gotta spread joy up to the maximum,
Bring gloom down to the minimum,
An' have faith ( amen! )
Or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene!

To illustrate
My last remark
Jonah in the whale!
Noah in the arc!
An' what did they do ( what did they do? )
Just when everything looked so dark?

( what did they, what did they, what did they do? )

Man! they said


You better accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
An' latch on
To the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between!
No, don't mess with mister in-between!

( to illustrate
His last remark
Jonah in the whale!
Noah in the arc! )
An' what did they do

Just when everything looked so dark?
What did they do, what did they do? )

Man! they said
You better accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
An' latch on
To the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between!
No, don't mess with mister in-between!
No, don't you mess with mister in-between!
No, don't mess with mister in-between!

Love letters straight from your heart,
Keep us so near while apart.
I'm not alone in the night,
When I can have all the love you write . . .

I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart . . .

< instrumental bridge >
