I love you For sentimental reasons. I hope you do believe me, I'll give of you my heart. I love you, And you alone were meant for me. Please give your loving arms to me, And say we'll never part. I think of you every morning, Dream of you every nigh...

A chair is still a chair even when there's no one sitting there But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home when there's no one there to hold you tight and no one there you can kiss good night A room is still a room even when there's nothing there b...

A time for summer skies For hummingbirds and for butterflies For tender words that harmonize with love A time for climbing hills For leaning out of window sills Admiring the daffodils above A time for holding hands together A time for rainbow-colored weather...

Meet me in a shadow land of quiet. Speak to me of loving. But speak low to me - in a whisper. Whispers open magical doors if you let them - Opening to hidden rooms full of color - In shades like marc Chagall. These days, everybody speaks of love so loud. They...

All or nothing at all Half a love, never appealed to me If your heart, never could yield to me Then I'd rather (rather) have nothing at all All or nothing at all If it's love, there is no in between Why begin then cry, for something that might have been No I'...

April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom Holiday tables under the trees Evening melodies April in Paris, this is a feeling That no one can ever reprise I never knew the charm of spring Never met it face-to-face I never knew my heart could sing Never missed a warm...

You were my adored one, And then you became the bored one, And I was like a toy that brought you joy one day. A broken toy that you preferred to throw away. If I expected love When first we kissed, Blame it on my youth. If only just for you I did exist, Blam...

Must you dance every dance With the same fortunate man You have danced with him since the music began Why don't you change partners and dance with me Must you stand quite so close With your lips touching his face Can't you see I'm longing to be in his p...

The white, electric skillet of a day Threatened to sear us all away - Fat frying, spluttering - rank Chicago smeltering along, Smothered in heavy, wooly sweat, The city knew a sad regret For staying long in summer's heavy. No escape. Delirious. So I went subt...

Living for you is easy living It's easy to live when you're in love And I'm so in love There is nothing in life but you I never regret the years that I'm giving They're easy to give when you're in love I'm happy to do whatever I do for you For you maybe I'm...

Ev'ry time we say goodbye I cry, Ev'ry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little, Why the gods above me Who must be in the know Think so little of me Then they allow you to go. When you're near It feels like Spring I can hear a lark somewhere Begin to sing ab...

Vs. 1 Love is wild in her. I confuse her love with the sea. She is a rare and emerald fantasy told to me and to me it seems that she lives in a mystery. But her kisses! I dig her kisses. While washing the dishes or feeding the fishes. It's her kisses. Her k-k...

I feel so smoochie When I hold your hands and look in your eyes I feel so smoochie when I touch your lips and I realise That to hold you near make rainbows appear And life is just one long kiss With the moon shinning down And the stars kinda frown And say goll...

I get along without you very well, of course, I do. Except when soft rains fall and drips from leaves, then I recall the thrill of being sheltered in your arms, of course, I do. But I get along without you very well. I've forgotten you just like I should, of...

I like the sunrise 'cause it brings a new day I like a new day, it brings new hope they say I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky Nighttime is weary oh, and so am I Every evening I wish upon a star That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far When the...

I know he'll never be forgotten He was a king uncrowned I know I'll always remember The warmth of his sound Lingers so long I'm sure he's still around For those who heard they repeat him yet So those who hear won't forget The sound of each phrase Echoes the t...

I'm thru with love, I'll never fall again. Said adieu to love, Don't ever call again. For I must have you or no one. And so I'm thru with love. I've locked my heart. I keep my feelings there. I have stocked my heart With icy, frigid air. And I mean to care...

In the winelight - livin' lovin's soft delights Smooth and mellow - feelin' how we move so right We're lettin' the time go - & takin' it nice and slow. In the winelight - lazyin' through this all night flight Higher and higher, baby - touchin' you with se...

Day comes slowly - absorbing the darknesses softly. Night leaves gently - her beauty is spent, and she rises. I step into the lightness - I hear you. You're calling me out of my sadness. Your flowering wonders are calling me home. Darkness lingers - but...

Understand the Night. When she flashes her sparkling eyes at dusk, She flirts with Twilight. When the noise of day dies away, The Night and Twilight stay and stay, Making quiet love up high over the town. And the gentle Twilight gives his light, Making a queen...

Whether you are here or yonder, Whether you are false or true Whether you remain or wander, I'm growing fonder of you Even though your friends forsake you, Even though you don't succeed Wouldn't I be glad to take you, Give you the break you need More than...

The night is like a lovely tune Beware my foolish heart How white the ever constant moon Take care my foolish heart There's a line between love and fascination That's hard to see, how many names such as this For they both have the very same sensation When you...

The very thought of you makes my heart sing Like an April breeze on the wings of spring, And you appear in all your splendor, My one and only love. The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms In the hush of night while you're in my arms. I feel your lips,...

If I don't see her each day, I miss her Gosh what a thrill, each time I kiss her I've got a case On Nancy with the laughing face She takes the winter, makes it summer Summer could take some lessons from her Picture a tomboy in lace That's Nancy with the laugh...

There was a boy A certain strange enchanted boy They say he travelled very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he And then one day One magic day he came my way And as we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he sa...

Lonely the roses of Avondaire sing as though somebody still may care. They live only for the dream of living so come follow where they will take you there. I once was apprenticed to a man who was living In the eye if the hurricane to know despair, He knew al...

The music begins and the tidals fade in Starring you and me The hero is struggling to say, that his lady is far away In her prison of wishes We're loving, we fight but it's all day for night Just to masquerade We're reel till the red light is off, then we go,...

~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~ 2’30 If you hear a song in blue Like a flowers crying for the dew That was my heart serenading you A prelude to a kiss If you hear a song that grows From my tender sentimental woes That was my heart trying to compose A prelude to a kiss Thoug...

God - king above all other gods - lead us now, so we can walk wherein the prophets said that we would trod. Buddha - tell a sutra like a spell - teach us well to answer silence with the calling of bells. Allah - bring us to a good alarm - subjugate our wi...

Where you go brown Rose With this rose in the hair and this floor of young woman chats brown, brown Ro- sa brown Pinkthe samba is waiting Waiting pra to see you Deixa of side this thing of affected Walks Pink comes to see me Deixa of side this pose Com...

say it over and over again never stop saying you're mine tell me ever and ever so sweet soft words of love be repeating just like an old valentine when you say I love you the same old i love you they whisper in stories and plays you can change i love you same...

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star Draped around my kitchen sink , Happy as can be I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me. I'm not much to look at, nothing to see Just g...

Yesterday, I thought that love would last That love was sent from above Yet, today, find my love has flown away I am without my love They ask me how I knew My true love was true I of course reply Something deep inside Cannot be denied They said someday you'l...

Hips swayin' to the beat (lip smackin', honey-sweet). Magnolias in the street – dust under Tanya's feet. Melody: Dig with me this chick lording every clique, name of Tanya Jean. Even in the thick she'll never miss a trick. She's a Royal queen. Swingin' down t...

The best things happen while you're dancing Things that you would not do at home come nat'rally on the floor For dancing soon becomes romancing When you hold a girl in your arms that you've never held before Even guys with two left feet Come out all right if...

The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll n...

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go. We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. Of those so clos...

They say that falling love is wonderful It's wonderful, so they say And with the moon up above, it's wonderful It's wonderful, so they tell me I can't recall who said it I know I've never read it I only know they tell me that love is grand, and The thing that...

Too young to go steady, too young I hear him (her) say. He (she) says I'm (we're) not ready But then why am I (are we) feeling this way? Too young so he (she) tells me He (she) says we'll have to wait. Why wait till it may be too late? Can't he (she) realize...

She's come undun, she didn't know what's she was headed for And when she found what she was headed for, it was too late She's come undun, she found a mountain that was far too high And she found out she couldn't fly and it was too late Now it's too late, she's...

Wait till you see her, see how she looks Wait till you hear her laugh Painters of paintings, writer of books Never could tell the half Wait till you feel the warmth of her glance Pensive and sweet and wise All of it lovely, all of it thrilling I'll never be w...

Where is your heart, my love? I can’t believe you’ would forget I haven’t finished with love yet And I’m wondering where, where can you be? I still see your smile in my memories and photographs Pictures of hand holding laughter I guess there’s more that you'r...

You are too beautiful, my dear, to be true And I am a fool for beauty Fooled by a feeling that because I have found you I could have bound you too You are too beautiful for one man alone For one lucky fool to be with When there are other men With eyes of thei...

You don't know what love is until you've learned the meaning of the blues until you've loved and love you've had to lose you don't know how lips hurt until you've kissed and had ot pay the cost until you've flipped your heart and you have lost how can you know...
