"They Can't Take That Away From Me"

"They Can't Take That Away From Me"


The way you wear your hat,
The way you sip your tea,
The mem'ry of all that,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!

The way your smile just beams,
The way you sing off-key,
The way you haunt my dreams,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!

We may never, never, meet again,
On the bumpy road to love,
Still, I'll always, always, keep the mem'ry of...

The way you you hold your knife,
The way we danced 'till three,
The way you changed my life,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
No, they can't take that away from me!

[instrumental break]

The way you you hold your knife,
The way we danced 'till three,
The way you changed my life,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
No, they can't take that away,
'Cause I think you're here to stay,
No, they can't take that away... from me!

"They Say It's Wonderful"

"They Say It's Wonderful"


They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, so they tell me!

I can't recall who said it, I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful
Wonderful, in every way, so they say!

"This Is All I Ask"

"This Is All I Ask"



Beautiful girls,
Walk a little slower,
When you walk by me!
Lingering sunsets,
Stay a little longer,
With the lonely sea!
Children everywhere,
When you shoot at bad men,
Shoot at me!
Take me to that strange enchanted land,
Grown-ups seldom understand!

Wandering rainbow,
Leave a bit of color,
For my heart to own!
Stars in the sky,
Make my wish come true,
Before the night has flown,

And let the music play, as long,
As there's a song to sing,
And I will stay younger than spring!

Wandering rainbow,
Leave a bit of color,
For my heart to own!
Stars in the sky,
Make my wish come true,
Before the night has flown...

And let the music play, as long,
As there's a song to sing,
And I will stay younger,
In every way younger,
Yes, I will stay younger than the spring!

"Till The End Of Time"

"Till The End Of Time"



Till the end of time
Long as stars are in the blue
Long as there's a spring, a bird to sing
I'll go on loving you

Till the end of time
Long as roses bloom in May
My love for you will grow deeper
With every passing day

Till the wells run dry
And each mountain disappears
I'll be there for you, to care for you
Through laughter and through tears

So take my heart in sweet surrender
And tenderly say that I'm
The one you love and live for
Till the end of time

Till the wells run dry
And each mountain disappears
I'll be there for you, to care for you
Through laughter and through tears

So take my heart in sweet surrender
And tenderly say that I'm
The one you love and live for
Till the end of time

She's fixed my wagon for me

Hope she tells me to dance in a dance
Gotta listen or get no kissin'
From Tina Marie

Hope I'm lookin' at wedding rings
Is it human the things she's doin' to me

"To Know You (Is To Love You)"

"To Know You (Is To Love You)"



To know you, is to love you,
And I love you... 'cause I know you...
Are such a sweetheart...
that when you walk down the street,
Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat!

The others, who have met you,
Better start in... to forget you...
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... love me!

Were you the sun, it would be twice as sunny,
Were you a bee, there would be sweeter honey,
Were you a tune everyone would be croonin'
Harmonizin' out in the street!
You're such a bundle of me oh my,
And that's the reason when you go by,
Each heart naturally skips a beat!

Dear...

The others...
(Were you the spring, you would be twice as springy!)
Who have met you...
(Were you a vine, you would be twice as clingy!)
Better start in...
(Were you the moon, everyone would be spoonin'!)
To forget you...
(Every night would be mighty sweet!)
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... love me!

Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... everyone should know you...
Know... yes, know... you love me!

"Too Young"

"Too Young"


[instrumental opening]

They try to tell us we're too young,
Too young to really be in love,
They say that love's a word,
A word we've only heard,
But can't begin to know the meaning of!

And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go...
And then, someday they may recall,

That we were not too young at all!

[instrumental verse]

And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go...
And then, someday they may recall,
We were not too young at all!

 

[fox69]

"Too Young To Go Steady"

"Too Young To Go Steady"


[instrumental & choral opening]

Too young to go steady,
Too young, I hear her say,
She says we're not ready,
But then why am I feelin' this way?

Too young, so she tells me,
She says, we'll have to wait,
Why wait . . .
'Till it may be too late?

Can she realize she drives me wild,
Is she made of stone?
Must she always treat me like a child,
Won't she ever own up, I'm grown up?
Someday, she'll be sorry,
Someday, just wait an' see!
She'll wish . . .
She'd gone steady . . .
With me!

(Can she realize she drives me wild,
Is she made of stone?
Must she always treat me like a child,
Won't she ever own up, I'm grown up?)
Someday, she'll be sorry,
Someday, just wait an' see!
She'll wish . . .
She'd gone steady . . .
With me!

She'll wish . . .
She'd gone steady . . .
With me!

"Toselli's Serenade (Dreams And Memories)"

"Toselli's Serenade (Dreams And Memories)"



Dreams and memories,
Are all that you've left me,
Only lonely thoughts,
About the one I worship and adore!

Dreams and memories,
Are what I must live with,
Sad remembering,
Of golden moments that exist no more!

Lovin' arms to hold me tight,
And your lips to kiss goodnight,
A love that seemed "Oh so right!"
And yet, somehow, went wrong!

Dreams and memories,
The moonlight on your hair,
Songs that we sang,
That feeling we shared whenever a church bell rang!

Oh, the memories and dreams of you!

I can't live without you...
I'll keep on praying you come back to me,
To me... to me!

"Traveling Down A Lonely Road (Love Theme From 'la Strada')"

"Traveling Down A Lonely Road (Love Theme From 'la Strada')"


Why am I alone?
Why am I alone,
Traveling down a lonely road?

Darling, can't you see?
I don't wanna be,
Traveling down a lonely road.

If you would open up your heart
And let my love come shining through,
You'd know how much
I wanna walk the road with you . . .

Won't you understand?
Won't you take my hand?
It's been such a lonely road . . .

[Chorus Italian lyrics]

If you would open up your heart
And let my love come shining through,
You'd know how much
I wanna walk the road with you . . .

Won't you understand?
Won't you take my hand?
It's been such a lonely road . . .

Such a lonely road . . .
