"The Shadow Of Your Smile"

"The Shadow Of Your Smile"

The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn

Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things, yo are, to me

Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I

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

"The Skye Boat Song"

"The Skye Boat Song"

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunderclouds rend the air;
Baffled, our foes stand by the shore,
Follow they will not dare.

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.

Though the waves leap, so soft shall ye sleep,
Ocean's a royal bed.
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head.

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.

Many's the lad fought on that day,
Well the Claymore could wield,
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field.

Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward! the sailors cry;
Carry the lad that's born to be King
Over the sea to Skye.

Burned are their homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men;
Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath
Charlie will come again.

"The Sound Of Music"

"The Sound Of Music"

The hills are alive
With the sound of music
With songs they have sung
For a thousand years

The hills fill my heart
With the sound of music
My heart wants to sing ev'ry song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
That rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
From a church on a breeze

To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls
Over stones on its way
To sing through the night
Like a lark who is learning to prey

I go to the hills
When my heart is lonely
I know I will hear
What I've heard before

My heart will be blessed
With the sound of music
And I'll sing once more

"The Sounds Of Christmas"

"The Sounds Of Christmas"

The snow is gently falling down,
And a hush slowly quiets the countryside
The fire crackles as it glows
And the children all sing as they wait for the night.

This is the sound, the quiet sound
The joyful sound of Christmas
This is the sound, the endless sound,
The joyful sound of Christmas.

The jingle bells hang on the door
Foreshadowing magical nights in store
The laughter echoes through the air
As our loved ones are greeting each other with care.

This is the sound, the precious sound
The joyful sound of Christmas
This is the sound, the endless sound,
The joyful sound of Christmas.

The angels sing, their anthems ring
As the Child of Bethlehem comes this hour!
The quiet peace of fears released
As a heart is renewed by His saving pow'r.

This is the sound, the holy sound
The joyful sound of Christmas
This is the sound, the endless sound,
The joyful sound of Christmas.

"The Summer Knows"

"The Summer Knows"

The summer smiles
The summer knows
And unashamed she sheds her clothes
The summer soothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand
On which you lie
The summer knows
The summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait
And the sun to linger
Twists the world round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of it all
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall

And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall

"The Sweetheart Tree"

"The Sweetheart Tree"

They say there's a tree in the forest
A tree that will give you a sign
Come along with me to the Sweetheart Tree
Come and carve your name next to mine

They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore

They say if you kiss the right sweetheart
The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore

"The Things I Might Have Been"

"The Things I Might Have Been"

(The things I might have been)
I might have been a helpless soul with nothing much in store
I might have been without a gold just dream and nothing more
I might have known a life alone but that's where you came in
Your lovin' arms have saved me from the things I might have been

I might have been a kind who roam a stranger everywhere
Or one of those for stay at home with no one's lips to share
But your sweet kiss has changed all this and made my life begin
Keep lovin' me don't let me be the things I might have been
The things I might have been

"The Touch Of Your Lips"

"The Touch Of Your Lips"

When troubles get me, cares beset me
And won't let me go,
I turn to you for consolation.
There I find new peace of mind;
To leave behind my woe
I turn to you as I shall always do.

The touch of your lips upon my brow,
Your lips that are cool and sweet,
Such tenderness lies in their soft caress,
My heart forgets to beat.

*The touch of your hands upon my head,
The love in your eyes a-shine,
And now, at last, that moment divine,
The touch of your lips on mine.

*The touch of your hands upon my head,
The love in your eyes a-shine,
And now, at last, that moment divine,
The touch of your lips on mine.

"The Twelfth Of Never"

"The Twelfth Of Never"

You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain.
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you.

Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

"The Very Thought Of You"

"The Very Thought Of You"

The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
