"It's Easy To Remember"

"It's Easy To Remember"


Your sweet expression
The smile you gave me,
The way you looked when we meet
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget.
I hear you whisper,
I'll always lave you
I know it's over and yet
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget.

So I must dream
To have your hand caress me,
Fingers press me tight.
I'd rather dream
Than have the lonely feeling
Stealing through the nigh.

Each little moment
Is clear before me,
And though it brings me regret
It's easy to remember
But so hard to forget.

"It's Like Reaching For The Moon"

"It's Like Reaching For The Moon"


It's like reaching for the moon
It's like reaching for the sun
It's like reaching for the stars
Reaching for you

You're so far above me
How can I expect an angel to love me
Who is so divine as you are?

It's like flying without wings
Playing fiddle without strings
And a million other things
No one can do
Though, my hopes are slender
In my secret heart I pray you'll surrender soon
Though, it's like reaching for the moon

"It's Not For Me To Say"

"It's Not For Me To Say"


It's not for me to say you love me
It's not for me to say you'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
As far as I can see this is heaven
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

"It's Too Hot For Words"

"It's Too Hot For Words"


It's too hot for words
Why bother with conversation
Don't let's talk or even walk
If you want to make love, okay

It's too hot for words
There's nothing like relaxation
Can't ignore this temperature
But if you want to make love, okay

Let's find a cozy nook
Beside a babbling brook
Let's find a shady tree
Let the love birds talk for you and me

Cause it's much too hot for words
Why bother with conversation
Goodness knows my heart disclose
All it dares to say
All it cares to say
It's too hot for words

"Just One More Chance"

"Just One More Chance"


Just one more chance
To prove it's you alone I care for
Each night I say a little prayer for
Just one more chance

Just one more night
To taste the kisses that enchant me
I'd want no others if you'd grant me
Just one more chance

I've learned the meaning of repentance
Now you're the jury at my trial
I know that I should serve my sentence
Still I'm hoping all the while
You'll give me

Just one more word
I said that I was glad to start out
But now I'm back to cry my heart out
For just one more chance

I know that I should serve my sentence
Still I'm hoping all the while
You'll give me

Just one more word
I said that I was glad to start out
But now I'm back to cry my heart out
For just one more chance

"Just One Of Those Things"

"Just One Of Those Things"


It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So, goodbye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So, goodbye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

"Lady Sings The Blues"

"Lady Sings The Blues"


Lady sing the blues,
she's got them bad,
she feels so sad.

And wants the world to know,
just what her blues are all about,

Lady sings the blues,
She tells her side,
nothing to hide.

Now the world will know,
just what her blues is all about

The blues ain't nothin' like a pain in your heart,
when you get a bad start,
when you and your man have to part

I ain't gonna just sit around and cry,
i know i won't die,
'cause i love him

Lady sings the blues,
i'm tellin' you, she's got 'em bad,
but now the world will know,
she's never gonna sing them no more.

The blues ain't nothin' but a pain in your heart,
when you get a bad start,
when you and your man have to part

Ain't gonna just sit around and cry,
i know i won't die,
'cause i love him

Lady sings the blues,
i'm tellin' you, she's got them bad,
but now the world will know,
she's never gonna sing them no more.

"Let's Call A Heart A Heart"

"Let's Call A Heart A Heart"


When we're in a friendly situation
My conversation may not be smart
But if we're to have a perfect understanding
Let's call a heart a heart
There are words that should be whispered gent@y
That's evidently the way to start
If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding
Let's call a heart a heart

Can I prove how I yearn
Just by the turn of a phrase
Can I keep my control
When all my soul is aflame
Maybe we'd call a true confession
And in discretion on someone's part
But if I'm to say how madly I adore you
Let's call a heart a heart

"Let's Call The Whole Thing Off"

"Let's Call The Whole Thing Off"


You say either
And I say either
You say neither
And I say neither
Either, either, neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off

You like potatoes
And I like potatoes
You like tomatoes
And I like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart

So it you like pajarnas and I like pajamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off

So if you go for oysters
And I go for oysters
I'll order oysters and cancel the oysters
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off

"Let's Dream In The Moonlight"

"Let's Dream In The Moonlight"


Let's dream in the moonlight
Tell me that you love me
Tell the stars above me
What's in you heart

Let's dream in the moonlight
Say you're glad you found me
Put your arms around me
Before we part

Even though it's just pretending
And the night is almost through
I can say I'm only lending
When I give my heart to you

Let's dream in the moonlight
Let your lips touch mine
Though we're only dreaming tonight
Tonight
