"It's Only A Paper Moon"
(originally by Paul Whiteman)

"It's Only A Paper Moon"
(originally by Paul Whiteman)



It is only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

It is only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played
In a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played
In a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believe in me

"Joy To The World"

"Joy To The World"



Joy to the world
The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the earth
The Saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

He rules the earth
With truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousnes
And wonders of his love
And wonders of his love
And wonders, and wonders of his love

"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 of it, ´bout 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´ll meet now and then.
It was great fun but it was just one of those things.

"Just You, Just Me"

"Just You, Just Me"



Just you, just me
Let's find a cozy spot
To cuddle and woo.
Just us, just we
I've missed an awful lot
My trouble is you.

Oh, gee!
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination!

Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
Around wonderful you.

Oh, gee!

Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
Tie a lover's knot
Tie a lover's knot
Around wonderful you.

"L-O-V-E"

"L-O-V-E"




L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

"Laughing On The Outside (Crying On The Inside)"

"Laughing On The Outside (Crying On The Inside)"



The crowd sees me out dancing
Carefree and romancing
Happy with my someone new
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love with you

They see me night and daytime
Having such a gay time
They don't know what I go through
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love with you

No one knows it's just a pose
Pretending I'm glad we're apart
And when I cry, my eyes are dry
The tears are in my heart

My darling, can't we make up?
Ever since our breakup
Make believe is all I do
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love

I am still in love with you

"Laura"

"Laura"



You know the feeling of something half remembered
Of something that never happened, yet you recall it well.
You know the feeling of recognizing someone
That you've never met as far as you could tell, well.

Laura is the face in the misty light,
Footsteps that you hear down the hall.
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall.
And you see Laura on the train that is passing through.
Those eyes, how familiar they seem.
She gave your very first kiss to you.
That was Laura but she's only a dream.

"Let Me Tell You Babe"

"Let Me Tell You Babe"



Let me tell you, babe
You got me crazy
You got your head in
Those big white clouds

Let me tell you, babe
You got me crazy
You don't know, girl
What life's all about

Let me tell you, babe
You must be dreaming
The world ain't spinning
Just for you alone

Let me tell you, babe
You must be dreaming
'Cause it's rough, girl
Out there on your own

And love that's worth your salt
Don't grow on trees
It won't show upon
Every breeze that blows

It beats me, honey
How your eyes don't see
They just don't see what's
Right in front of your nose

Let me tell you, babe
You just ain't thinking
The grass ain't greener
On that side of town

Let me tell you, babe
You know I need you
If you stay, girl
I won't let you down

(Let me tell you, babe)
If you stay, girl
(Let me tell you, babe)
I won't let you down

(Let me tell you, babe)
If you stay, girl
(Let me tell you, babe)
I won't let you down

"Let There Be Love"

"Let There Be Love"


Let there be you,
Let there be me.
Let there be oysters
Under the sea.

Let there be wind,
An occasional rain.
Chile con carne,
Sparkling champagne

Let there be birds
To sing in the trees,
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze.

Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dove,
But first of all, please
Let there be love.

[Interlude]

Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dove,
But first of all, please
Let there be love...

Hmmm umm...love
Hmmm umm...love

Let there be love.

"Let True Love Begin"

"Let True Love Begin"




When you're young
You're afraid of the dark
Then you grow up
Unafraid of the dark

So, darling, when I kiss you
And your heart goes in a spin
Don't be afraid
Let true love begin

Oh, when you're alone
You're afraid that it's true
Love won't come
It won't hapoen to you

So to let this chance
For happiness go by
Would be a sin
Don't be afraid
Let true love begin

I know the feeling
That you're feeling is new
And your heart still
Wants to hide

This feeling that
Sends you reeling
I'm feeling too
It's love, it cannot be denied

So take my hand
I'll always be at your side
There's no need
For you to hide

So listen to your heart that's
Telling you from deep within
Don't be afraid
Let true love begin

Don't be afraid
Let true love begin
Don't be afraid
Let true love begin
