"Let's Begin"

"Let's Begin"

Let's begin
Let's begin
Let's begin

Now that you got me going whatcha gonna do?
Is it up to me, is it up to you?
What kind of game is this that we’ve begun?
Was it done just for fun?
We have necked til I’m wrecked
Won’t you tell me what you expect?
Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell,
Folly and farewell,
Heaven or maybe Hell?
Which is it going to be; love or gin, life or sin?
Let’s begin

Now that you got me going whatcha gonna do?
Is it up to me, is it up to you?

Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell,
Folly and farewell,
Heaven or maybe Hell?
Which is it going to be; love or gin, life or sin?
Let’s begin

And make a mess of both of our bright, young lives.

"Let's Face The Music And Dance"

"Let's Face The Music And Dance"

There may be trouble ahead,
But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance

Before the fiddlers have fled,
Before they ask us to pay the bill,
And while we still have the chance,
Let's face the music and dance

Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different tune
And then...

There may be teardrops to shed,
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Face the music and dance

*orchestral interlude*
Let's face the music and dance
Let's face the music and dance

Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different tune,
And then...
And then...

There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance
Dance
Let's face the music and dance

"Life Is Beautiful"

"Life Is Beautiful"

What to say
Where to start
I’ll just tell what’s in my heart

Life is beautiful
In every way
Life is lovely
As a spring bouquet

Since I fell in love with you
Life is like a dream
That has come true

For life is sunshine
Smiling brightly
On a summer day

Life is rainbows
Chasing all the clouds of gray

Life is beautiful
And fine
But darling,
Only because you’re mine

"Listen, Little Girl"

"Listen, Little Girl"

Listen, little girl
Don’t play around with the wild ones
Better drink tea with the mild ones
You’re still an ingénue

Listen, little girl
Stay with your own pretty set, dear
Grand amour’s not for you yet, dear
You’ll find a love that’s true

Once you spread your wings
It’s alright if you fly
You’ll learn lots of things
On your way to the sky

Listen, little girl
Stay where the bright lights won’t blind you
Some day that someone will find you
Listen to me, ‘cause I’ve got my degree

Better listen, little girl to me

"Little Did I Dream"

"Little Did I Dream"

Little did I dream when first we collided
Love was on the scene and fate had decided
It was time that we met
But little did I ever dream

All that I could do was stammer and stumble
Didn’t have a clue I’d soon take a tumble
I would never regret
And little did I ever dream

‘Cause I didn’t see
The great adventure that was waiting for me
I knew exactly what my future would be
I had it all mapped out with no doubt

Then bumping into you was so unexpected
You popped into view, we clicked and connected
It was fate I suppose
And things are seldom what they seem

But one never knows that little did I ever dream

‘Cause I didn’t see
The great adventure that was waiting for me
I knew exactly what my future would be
I had it all mapped out with no doubt

Then bumping into you was so unexpected
You popped into view, we clicked and connected
It was fate I suppose
And things are seldom what they seem

"Little Green Apples"
(originally by O.C. Smith)

"Little Green Apples"
(originally by O.C. Smith)

And if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow to ease my mind

And if that ain't lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow to ease my mind

If that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
There's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Disneyland, or Mother Goose, there’s no nursery rhyme

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't snow in Indianapolis when the winter comes
And when my self is feelin' low
I think about her face aglow to ease my mind

If that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say
That’s really lovin’ me
I mean that’s love

"Little Things"

"Little Things"

I believe in little things
That you can hardly see
Like honeycomb and spider webs
And starfish in the sea

I believe in little things
Like icy drops of rain
That melt into the morning mist
When winds are warm again

I believe in little things
Like colors in the sky
And noticing the waves roll in
And how the flowers die

Knowing they'll come back again
Whenever it's July

I believe in little things
Like you and me
And just how big
Little things can be

"Long Ago And Far Away"

"Long Ago And Far Away"

Long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast but now the clouds have passed
You're here at last

Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

"Lost In The Stars"

"Lost In The Stars"

Before Lord God made the sea or the land
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand
And one little star fell alone

Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star on the wind down there
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost no more

Now, a man don't mind if the stars get dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him
So long as the Lord God's watching over them
Keeping track how it all goes on

But I've been walking through the night and the day
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Forgetting his promise and word he'd say

And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars, big stars, blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
