What's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give Or are we meant to be kind? And if only fools are kind, Alfie Then I guess it is wise to be cruel And...

The days of wine and roses Laugh and run away, Like a child at play, Through a meadowland, Toward a closing door. A door marked „never more”, That wasn't there before. The lonely night discloses Just a passing breeze, Filled with memories Of the golden smile,...

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...

You're clear out of this world When I'm looking at you, I hear out of this world The music that no mortal ever knew. You're right out of a book, The fairy tale I read when I was so high; No armoured knight out of a book Was more enchanted by a Lorelei then I....

I can't believe that you're not here with me, To have a laugh or share a tear with me. It's all so wrong, it can't be right, It must have been something I dreamed last night! To never see your funny face again! To never thrill to your embrace again! Oh, it's...

Spring is here! Spring is here! Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing? Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing? No desire, no ambition leads me Maybe it's because nobody needs me Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me? Stars app...
