"I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her"

"I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her"



I'll Only Miss Her When I Think Of Her
And I’ll think of her all the time
Lately I spend my day hearing her turn a phrase
Things I find hard to praise
Right now would be sublime
Oh, the truth is: I’ll only miss her when some stranger laughs
‘Cause its still her laugh my heart hears
Maybe in time, I guess
The longing will grow the slightest bit less
And there will be moments, yes
When it disappears
I’ll bet I forget her completely
In about a hundred years

"I'm A Fool To Want You"

"I'm A Fool To Want You"



I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss a devil has known

Time and time again
I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time
When I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

I'm a fool to want you
Pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong
I can't get along
Without you

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"



Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame
I wonder if it could be me

I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain

Believe me, I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain

"I'm Always Chasing Rainbows"



Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world is to blame
I wonder if it could be me

I’m always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky

Some fellas look and find the sunshine
I always look and fine the rain
Some fellas make a winning some time
I never even make a gain
Believe me

I’m always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird
In vain

"I'm Glad There Is You"

"I'm Glad There Is You"



In this world of ordinary people,
extraordinary people,
I'm glad there is you.

In this world of overrated pleasures,
of underrated treasures,
I'm glad there is you.

I'll live to love,
I'll love to live with you beside me,
This role so new
I'll muddle through with you to guide me.

In this world where many, many play at love,
And hardly stay in love,
I'm glad there is you, more than ever, I'm glad there is you.

"I'm Losing My Mind"

"I'm Losing My Mind"



The sun comes up - I think about you
The coffee cup - I think about you
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind
The morning ends - I think about you
I talk to friends - I think about you
And do they know it's like I'm losing my mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right
I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?

Or am I losing my mind?
I want you so, it's like I'm losing my mind
Does no one know its like I’m losing my mind?

All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left - not going right
I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me, or were you just being kind?

Or am I losing my mind?
Or am I losing my mind?

"I'm Thru With Love"

"I'm Thru With Love"



I have given you my true love
But you love a new love
What am I supposed to do now
With you now
You're through now

You'll be on your merry way
And there's only this to say

I'm through with love,
I'll never fall again,
Said adieu to love,
Don't ever
call again,
For I must have you or no one,
and so I'm through with love.

I've locked my heart,
I'll keep my feelings there.
I have stocked my heart with icy frigid air,
and I mean to care for no one,
because I'm through with love.

Why did you lead me to think you could care?
You didn't need me,
for you had your share
of slaves around you to hound you and swear,
With deep emotion,

Devotion to you.
Goodbye to spring,
and all it meant to me,
It could never bring the things that used to be,
for I must have you or no one,
and so I'm through with love.

"I've Got Five Dollars"

"I've Got Five Dollars"



I've got five dollars
I'm in good conditions
and I've got ambition
that belongs to you.
Six shirts and collars
debts beyond endurance
on my life insurance
that belongs to you!
I've got a heart
that must be spurtin'!
Just be certain that I'll be true
Take my five dollars!
Take my shirts and collars!
Take my heart that hollers
’Cause everything I've got belongs to you!

Well, I've got two lips that care for mating
therefore waiting
will not do!
Take my five dollars!
Take my coats and collars!
Take my heart that hollers
’Cause everything I've got belongs to you!

"I've Got Just About Everything"

"I've Got Just About Everything"



I’ve got just about everything that I need
To make this life that I lead an enjoyable thing
I’ve got bluebirds and posies and robins and rosies
All kinds of flowers that bloom
All kinds of birds that sing

I’ve got just about everything that I want
To make this Earth that I walk a miraculous place
I’ve got fresh air and sunshine and mountains and may wine
And what is really a boon: I love the human race

When I say just about, just about, just about everything
I mean I must admit: one thing is really missing
Well, I’m not complaining
With or without it I still got what I got
But you could better my life with some of your huggin’ and kissin’
That’s what I’m missin’

Just say those words that I long to hear you say
And then my life will be complete and full to the top
And I’ll share all my treasures, my riches and pleasures
Makin the two of us one
That’s all that need be done

Say you’ll be my own, my one and only one
Then I can say I’ve got everything I need

I’ve got just about everything that it takes
To set the scene and make it a marvelous bit
I’ve got barrels of laughter and hope ever after
And though I don’t like to boast, shucks baby I’ve got “it”

I’ve got just about everything that there is
To make this her’s and his a terrific affair
I’ve got dewdrops and oceans and all kinds of notions
And since I dig you the most I’ve got the urge to share

Thought I’ve got just about, just about, just about everything
I know for sure by now I really need what’s lacking
No doubt about it, living without it I might turn out a slob
At best remain just a blob
So darling won’t you supply it? Come on, let’s try it

I could go on just as I am year after year
Yet with that one thing more I know I’ll reach the divine
That’s to have you and hold you and now that I’ve told you
Please make a positive sign
Saying that you’ll be mine
And we’ll have everything
Oh, how my heart will sing
Then I can say I’ve got everything I need

"I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"

"I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"



The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
For I've got my love to keep me warm

I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
Oh-ho-ho, I've got my love to keep me warm

Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
