I hear the music comin' out of your radio Are you there with another girl instead of me? I hear your laughter and there's something I've got to know Are you there with another girl instead of me? Oh, I'm standing on your doorstep and I don't know what to...

For I've got beginner's luck The first time that I'm in love I'm in love with you Gosh, I'm lucky I've got beginner's luck There never was such a smile Or such eyes of blue Gosh, I'm fortunate This thing we've begun Is much more than a pastime For...

Can you read my mind? Do you know what it is you do to me? Don't know who you are Just a friend from another star Here I am like a kid at a school Holding hands with a god, I'm a fool Will you look at me quivering Like a little girl shivering? You can...

Let the time flow; Let the love grow Let the rain shower; Let the rose flower Love it seeks; Love it finds Love it conquers; Love it binds We come to eachother from different worlds Drawn to eachother by the love inside of us We give to eachother our di...

I don't know what you want from me, baby, But I've already given ev'rything I can So, if my best isn't good enough, Tell me and I'll understand Baby CHORUS: Give me a reason to be gone You know I believe in hangin' on And I'll stay 'til you send me aw...

See the way he walks down the street Watch the way he shuffles his feet My, he holds his head up high When he goes walking by He's my guy When he holds my hand, I'm so proud 'Cause he's not just one of the crowd Why is he always the one To try the thi...

Here it is again, Monday mornin' And I've really got the blues But it don't much matter, I've got no need to smile And I don't think I will for quite a while It might as well stay Monday from now on 'Cause it seems that the only one I've ever loved is go...

You're just like a Sunday morning Quiet and warm and moving slow Put your hand in my hand Let me dream while I can Oh, how will I love you so? Life is made of milk and honey I always thought that line was a lie But it turns out it's true 'Cause the sw...

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 passed: You're here, at last! Chills run up and down my spine Aladdin's lamp is mine The dream I dreamed was n...

There are flowers and fables And old town picnic tables And oil's warm, cozy fires Burning up a midnight storm The December rains are snowing But out, your love got us blowing When I come to see you Burning up a midnight storm Burning up a midnight st...

Hello, such a simple way to start a love affair Should I jump right in and say how much I care? Would you take me for the madness of a simple-hearted clown? Hello, with affection from a sentimental fool From a little girl who's broken every rule One who...

~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~ Once upon a time A boy with moonlight in his eyes Put his hand in mine, And said he loved me so. But that was once upon a time Very long ago. Once upon a hill We sat beneath a willow tree Counting all the stars And waiting for the dawn. But that...

~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~ Put your head on my shoulder Hold me in your arms, baby Squeeze me oh so tight, Show me that you love me too Put your lips close to mine, dear Won't you kiss me once, baby Just a kiss goodnight, Maybe you and I will fall in love People say tha...

Looking back on rainy days How I'd hate those rainy days Stayin' home, watch the wind blow All alone by my window Now, I love those rainy days You and I just locked away Lying here, love surrounds us The skies are clear all around us Funny, for me, e...

I remember sky It was blue as ink Or at least, I think I remember sky I remember snow Soft as feathers, Sharp as thumbtacks, Coming down like lint And it made me squint When the wind would blow And ice like vinyl on the streets, Cold as silver, wh...

Someday, he'll come along, the man I love And he'll be big and strong, the man I love And when he comes my way, I'll do my best to make him stay He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand And in a little while, he'll take my hand And though it seems absurd,...

Good riddance, goodbye Every trick of his, you're on to - But fools will be fools, and where's he gone to? The road gets rougher It's lonelier and tougher With hope, you burn up Tomorrow, he may turn up There's just no let-up The livelong night and da...

There's got to be a morning after If we can hold on through the night We have a chance to find the sunshine Let's keep on looking for the light Oh, can't you see the morning after? It's waiting right outside the storm Why don't we cross the bridge toget...

Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times the...

Ha ha ha! Hee hee hee ! They kept a laugh on me. They all laughed at Christopher Columbus When he said the world was round They all laughed when Edison recorded sound They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother When they said that man could fly They tol...

You say you will love me If I have to go You'll be thinkin' of me Somehow, I will know Someday when I'm lonely Wishin' you weren't so far away, Then I will remember Things we said today You say you'll be mine, love, 'Til the end of time These days, such a kin...

We could tumble like a weed in the wind, Or we could scatter like the leaves in a storm, Or we could stand like an oak, And laugh at the joke That the love we had is gone. We could buckle like a bridge made of tin, And we could shatter like a house made...

We may never love like this again Don't stop the flow We can't let go We may never love like this again And touch the sky Though we may try So, while we're here, Let's give out all, Release the dreams inside us And set them free Oh, while we're here...

When a star is born, They possess a gift or two One of them is this: They have the power to make a wish come true When you wish upon a star, Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires Will come to you If your heart is in your dreams, No requ...

Feeling the way I do, I'd like to say, "I do!" Heaving a heavenly sigh Everybody has someone Why can't I? Creeping to bed alone, Resting my head alone Only my pillow nearby Some have a reason for dreaming Why can't I? I feel forsaken On nights lik...

(Are you ready?) (Are you ready?) I don't even know how to love you Just the way you want me to But I'm ready to learn Yes, I'm ready to learn To fall in love To fall in love To fall in love right now I don't even know how to hold your hand Just to...
