"Almost Like Being In Love"

"Almost Like Being In Love"



All the music of life seems to be, like a bell that is ringing for me

What a day this has been, what a rare mood I'm in
Why, its almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face for the whole human race
Why, it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be, like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel, when that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling, I'd swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love, it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be, like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel, when that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
It's almost like being in love

"Alone Again (Naturally)"

"Alone Again (Naturally)"



In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to whoever
Wants to know what it's like When you're shattered

Left standing in the lurch at a church
Were people saying, My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday

I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in His mercy

Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that
There are more hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended

Left unattended
What do we do
What do we do
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears

And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me

No words were ever
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

"Always"
(feat. Mone't)

"Always"
(feat. Mone't)



I'll be loving you always
With a love that's true always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand always.

Always.

Days may not be fair always,
That's when I'll be there always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But always.

I'll be loving you, oh always
With a love that's true always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand always.

Always.

Days may not be fair always,
That's when I'll be there always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But always.

Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But always.

"An Affair To Remember"

"An Affair To Remember"



Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space

Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember

"And I Love You So"

"And I Love You So"



And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I lived till now
I tell them, I don't know

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes I know, how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do

The book of life is green
And once a page is read
All that life is dead
This is my belief

And yes I know, how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

"And I Think That's What I'll Do"

"And I Think That's What I'll Do"



I find myself in a situation
Standing at the crossroads of my life
To the left stands a lovely lady
Childhood sweetheart, now devoted wife

Loving her the way I do, how can I explain?
Still she's got to know the truth
And I think that's what I'll do
And I think that's what I'll do

Then again, filled with in-decision
How can I love her, yet love my wife?
It's possible it's just infatuation
If it were, I'd suffer all my life

If she means so much to me, why can't I decide?
I must choose what's right for me
And I think that's what I'll do
And I think that's what I'll do

If she means so much to me, why can't I decide?
I must choose what's right for me
And I think that's what I'll do
And I think that's what I'll do

And I think that's what I'll do
And I think that's what I'll do
And I think that's what I'll do
And I think that's what I'll do

"And This Is My Beloved"

"And This Is My Beloved"



Dawn's promising skies
Petals on a pool drifting
Imagine these in one pair of eyes
And this is my beloved

Strange spice from the south
Honey through the comb sifting
Imagine these in one eager mouth
And this is my beloved

And when she speaks
And when she talks to me
Music! Mystery!
And when she moves
And when she walks with me
Paradise comes suddenly near

All that can stir
All that can stun
All that's for the heart's lifting
Imagine these in one perfect one

And this is my beloved
And this is my beloved

"Angel Eyes"

"Angel Eyes"



Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My own heart ain't gainin' no ground
Because my Angel Eyes ain't here

Angel Eyes that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mis-spent
Mis-spent with Angel Eyes tonight

So drink up, drink up all you people
And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink, and the laugh's, on me

Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I gotta find who's now number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.

I gotta find who's now the number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here.
`Scuse me while I disappear.

"April In Paris"

"April In Paris"



I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to?
What have you done to my heart?

"April Love"

"April Love"



Has anybody here seen April
Dressed in her gown of green?
She walks in a world of enchantment
Where no one ever grows much older than seventeen

April love is for the very young
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you
April love is of the Seven Wonders
One little kiss and tell you this is true

Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one, don't let her run away
