"The Shadow Of Your Smile"

"The Shadow Of Your Smile"


The shadow of your smile, when you are gone
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me
A wishful little star was fun to have
A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I

Now when I remember spring,
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile

Now when I remember spring,
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile

"The Unclouded Day"

"The Unclouded Day"


Oh they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
Oh they tell me of a home far away
Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh they tell me of an unclouded day.

Oh the land of cloudless days
Oh the land of an unclouded day
Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh they tell me of an unclouded day.

Oh they tell me that he smiles on his children there
And his smile drives their sorrows all away
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of unclouded day.

Oh the land of cloudless days
Oh the land of an unclouded day
Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh they tell me of an unclouded day.

Oh the land of cloudless days
Oh the land of an unclouded day
Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh they tell me of an unclouded day

Oh they tell me of an unclouded day

"There Goes My Heart"

"There Goes My Heart"


There goes my heart, there goes the one I love
There goes the boy, I wasn't worthy of
There goes my happiness, it couldn't be
There goes somebody else, in place of me

Goodbye romance, it couldn't laugh or cry
I had my chance, but it's all over now
I never thought that he could pass me by
There goes my heart, and here am I

It couldn't last somehow
You know I had my chance, but it's all over now
I never thought that he would pass me by
There goes my heart, and her am I

"There's A Kind Of Hush"
(originally by New Vaudeville Band)



There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean

Just the two of us
And nobody else in sight,
There's nobody else and I'm felling good
Holding you tight

Now listen, listen carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream

The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in you ear I love you
For ever and ever, ya

There's a kind of hush,
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You gonna hear the sounds of lovers in love

There's a kind of hush,
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You gonna hear the sounds of lovers in love

There's a kind of hush,
All over the world tonight
There's a kind of hush,

"There's More To Me Than What You Can See"

"There's More To Me Than What You Can See"


I'm a jukebox mama with a painted smile
I'm a little crazy, but I'm not that wild
Take it or leave me its just my style
For there's more to me than what you can see

I like to party and the neon lights
I can be tempted but its gotta be right
Don't take no strangers home with me at night
For there's more to me than what you can see

My love ain't been no bed of roses
Just got moments of romance
A piece of life is all I'm asking
I paid the price, I paid it twice
To have the right to take a chance

I'm liberated, but I know what I feel
I look a little phoney, but I know what's real
And if I say I do it, you know I will
Cause, there's more to me than what you can see

My love ain't been no bed of roses
Just got moments of romance
A piece of life is all I'm asking
I paid the price, I paid it twice
To have the right to take a chance

"Think"

"Think"


Think, before you leave me, for somebody new
Make sure with your heart
Your mind's not fooling you
Think if there's another
I won't come between
But don't let careless kisses
Take away all our dreams
I think, you know darling
That I'm human too
If there's a chance for me
Take time before you choose
Cause I'll live a lifetime just loving you
So darling think, darling think
Cause I'll live a lifetime just loving you
So darling think, darling think

"This Girl's In Love With You"

"This Girl's In Love With You"


You see this girl, this girl's in love with you
Yes I'm in love who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you, you know I'm glad
I got to know you
'Cause I've heard some talk, they say you think I'm fine
This girl's in love and what I'd do to make you mine

Tell me now, is it so, don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking,
Don't you let my heart keep breaking
'Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
If not I'll just die

Tell me now, is it so, don't you let me be the last to know
I said my hands, my hands are shaking,
Oh please don't let my heart keep waiting
'Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
If not I'll just die

"This Little Light Of Mine"

"This Little Light Of Mine"


[Chorus]
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine,
Every day, every day,
Every day, every day,
Gonna let my little light shine.

On Monday, he gave me the gift of love;
On Tuesday, peace came from above.
On Wednesday told me to have more faith;
On Thursday, gave me a little more grace.
On Friday, told me to watch and pray
On Saturday, told me just what to say,
On Sunday, gave power divine
Just to let my little light shine. (oh)

[Chorus]

Now some say you got to run and hide.
But we say there's no place to hide.
And some say let others decide,
But we say let the people decide.
Some say the time's not right,
But we say the time's just right.
If there's a dark corner in our land,
You got to let your little light shine. (oh)

[Chorus]

"This Time Of The Year"

"This Time Of The Year"


Little girls and little boys
Dream of worlds full of toys
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

Oh, evergreens are snowy white
Sleigh bells ring through the night
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

And somewhere near a steeple
People kneel and pray
And choirs sing carols
Of Christmas Day

Yes, Santa Claus is on his way
With loads of joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

Santa Claus is on his way
With loads of joy on his sleigh
This time of the year
When Christmas is near

"Too Heavy To Carry"

"Too Heavy To Carry"


Tar, paper, shanty on an old dirt road
Seein' my mother workin' made my blood run cold
People makin' fun, made me wonder and doubt
Why the Lord chose our family to have to go without
I'd shout out in anger, a child stricken with fears
When my ma couldn't stand it more she'd, dry, away my tears
I look back a women, and it's fresh in my mind
A girl leavin' home tryin' to find
The answer to a question that I ask every day
How can Mama cry so softly and still look up and say
The Lord never makes a burden too heavy to carry
Never puts a challenge where it can't be won
Some people have to try just a little bit harder
Before their life's work is done

My strength built of rock from what I thought was sand
Mother was rewarded 'cause she earned that, promised land
See my reflection eyes of my little song
He spoke words that told me my life's work was done
When he said
Lord never makes a burden too heavy too carry
And he never puts a challenge where it can't be won
I said, now, some people have to try just a little bit harder
Before their life's work is done
I said, the good Lord never makes a burden too heavy to carry
He ain't gonna put a challenge where it can't be won...
