"My Funny Valentine"

"My Funny Valentine"



VERSE

Behold the way our fine feathered-friend
His virtue doth parade.
Thou knowest not, my dim witted friend,
The picture Thou hast made.
Thy vacant brow and thy tousled hair
Conceal Thy good intent.
Thou, noble upright, truthful, sincere
And slightly dopey gent,- you are...

REFRAIN:

My funny valentine,
Sweet comic valentine,
You make me smile with my heart.

You looks are laughable, unphotographable;
Yet you're my favorite work of art.

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little bit weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine stay.

Each day is valentine's day.

"My Heart And I"

"My Heart And I"



We are in love with you, my heart and I
And we are always true, my heart and I
When you are far away each smile's a tear
But it's a lovely day when you are near
Maybe that love is blind when passion rules
And that my heart and I are just two fools
And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye
I know we both should die, my heart and I

Once in a lifetime a love dream comes true
Just once in a lifetime or never
I met my fate on the day I met you
The moment you kissed me I knew
Strange fascination seems to fill and hold me
Fateful temptation such as no one ever told me
Everything I would endure for you
Come what may, oh, I'll keep smiling through
My heart is yours so you just take it
It's only asking not to break it

We are in love with you, my heart and I
And we are always true, my heart and I
When you are far away each smile's a tear
But it's a lovely day when you are near
Maybe that love is blind when passion rules
And that my heart and I are just two fools
And yet my darling if you ever say goodbye
I know we both should die, my heart and I

"My One And Only Love"

"My One And Only Love"



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 so warm and tender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I’ve never known
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own

You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

My one and only love

"My Romance"

"My Romance"



My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no soft guitars

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need a thing but you

My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no soft guitars

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need a thing but you

"My Sweet Lord"

"My Sweet Lord"



I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you, Lord
But it takes so long, my Lord

My sweet Lord, hmm, my Lord, hmm, my Lord
I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you, Lord
But it takes so long, my Lord

My sweet Lord, hmm, my Lord, hmm, my Lord
I really want to see you
Really want to be with you
Really want to see you, Lord
But it takes so long, my Lord

I really want to know you
Really want to go with you
Really want to show you, Lord
That it won't take long, my Lord

My sweet Lord, hmm, my Lord, hmm, my Lord
I really want to know you
Really want to go with you
Really want to show you, Lord
That it won't take long, my Lord

"Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)"

"Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)"



It's sad to think we're not gonna make it
And it's gotten to the point where we just can't fake it
Oooh, for some ungodly reason we just won't let it die
I guess neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

I keep wondering
What I'm gonna do with out'cha
And I guess you must be wondering that same thing too
So we go on, go on together living a lie
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say goodbye

Ooooohhh, ev'rytime I find the nerve
Ev'rytime I find the nerve to say I'm leavin'
Oooh, memories, those old memories get in my way
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Lord knows it's only me, oh, he knows it's only me
That I'm deceiving
Oooohhhhh, when it comes to sayin' goodbye
That's a simple word that I just cannot say

There can be no way, there can be no way
This can have a happy ending, no, no
So we just go on hurting and pretending
And convincing ourselves to give it just one more try
Because neither one of us
Wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Neither one of us wants to be the first to say
Fairwell my love, goodbye

"Never Can Say Goodbye"

"Never Can Say Goodbye"



I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go,
Though I try and try to hide my feelings,
They always seems to show,

Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no,
Tell me why is it so.

That I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door,
There's a very strange vibration
Piercing me right through the core,
It says, "Turn around, you fool, you know you love him more and more."
Tell me why is it so.

Don't wanna let go.
Never can say goodbye.
Girl oo oo baby.
Never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Oh, I never can say goodbye.
Girl oo oo.

I never can say goodbye. No no no no no oo.
Never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no, now.
I never can say goodbye.

I keep thinking that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out.
But there's that same unhappy feeling,
There's that anguish, there's that doubt.
It's the same old dizzy hangup,
Can't do with you or without.
Tell me why is it so, don't wanna let you go.

"Never Givin' Up On You"

"Never Givin' Up On You"



Once again your eyes are telling me
That I'd be better off not loving you
I know it's hard for you to carry on
When you can't even hold me the way you used to do
But take my hand, I'll understand

I'm never givin' up on you
No matter how hard it gets we'll make it
Together we can see us through
We're strong enough to face the world and shake it
Never givin' up on you
Lovin' you is all I'll ever do
I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you

I'll never know how hard it is for you
I sometimes feel so helpless that I could cry
One thing I know, you're still strong and beautiful
And I know I'm gonna love you until the day I die
My love is true, it's all for you

I'm never givin' up on you
No matter how hard it gets we'll make it
Together we can see us through
We're strong enough to face the world and shake it
Never givin' up on you
Lovin' you is all I'll ever do
I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you

I'm never givin' up on you
No matter how hard it gets we'll make it
Together we can see us through
We're strong enough to face the world and shake it
Never givin' up on you
Lovin' you is all I'll ever do
I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you

I'm never givin' up on you
No matter how hard it gets we'll make it
Together we can see us through
We're strong enough to face the world and shake it
Never givin' up on you
Lovin' you is all I'll ever do
I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you

"Never Let Me Go"

"Never Let Me Go"



Never let me go
Love me much too much
If you let me go
Life would lose its touch

What would I be without you?
There's no place for me without you

Never let me go
I'd be so lost if you went away
There'd be a thousand hours in the day
Without you I know

Because of one caress my world was overturned
At the very start, all my bridges burned
By my flaming heart you'd never leave me, would you?
You couldn't hurt me, could you?

Never let me go
Never let me go

Never let me go
I'd be so lost if you went away
There'd be a thousand hours in the day
Without you I know

Because of one caress my world was overturned
At the very start all my bridges burned
By my flaming heart you'd never leave me, would you?
You couldn't hurt me, could you?

Never let me go
Never let me go

"Never My Love"

"Never My Love"



You ask me if there'll come a time
when I grow tired of you;
never my love, never my love.

You wonder if this heart of mine
will lose its desire for you;
never my love,
never my love.

What makes you think love will end
when you know that my whole life
depends on you?

You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require you,
Never my love,
never my love.

How can you think love will end
when I've asked you to spend your
whole life with me?
