"Moonlight In Vermont"

"Moonlight In Vermont"



Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Gentle finger waves
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
As they travel each bend in the road
And when people meet, in this romantic setting
They're so hypnotized be the lovely...
Evening summer breeze
Sweet warblings of the meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont

"More And More"

"More And More"



More and more
I find I’m not the man I used to be
I find so many things are new to me
Although they’ve been there all the time

Did birds sing every day?
And stars shine nightly from the Milky Way?
Did willows sigh and raindrops dance ballet?
And summer breezes taste like wine?

More and more
I find I see my friends much less and less
And stranger as it may seem I must confess
Its gotten so that I don’t mind

Cause I know, I know why its true
Why I’m reborn and why my world is new
Its you
And more an more I’m yours
And more and more you’re mine

"Most Beautiful Girl In The World"

"Most Beautiful Girl In The World"



The most beautiful girl in the world
Picks my ties out,
Eats my candy,
Drinks my brandy-
The most beautiful girl in the world.
The most beautiful star in the world
Isn't Garbo, isn't Dietrich,
But the sweet trick
Who can make me believe it's a beautiful world.
Social-not a bit,
Nat'ral kind of wit,
She'd shine anywhere,
And she hasn't got platinum hair.
The most beautiful house in the world
Has a mortgage-
What do I care?
It's goodbye care
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world!

"Mountain Greenery"

"Mountain Greenery"



On the first of May
It is a moving day
spring is here, so blow your job,
throw your job away

Now the time to trust
to your wanderlust.
In the city's dust you wait
must you wait?
Just you wait

In a mountain greenery
where God paints the scenery
just two crazy people together.

While you love your lover, let
blues skies be your coverlet.
When it rains we’ll laugh at the weather.

And if you're good
I'll search for wood
so you can cook
while I stand looking.

Beans could get no keener
reception in a beanery.
Bless our Mountain Greenery home!

Mosquitoes here
Won’t bite you, dear
Well I’ve let them sting
Me on the finger

We could find no cleaner retreat
From life's machinery
Bless our Mountain Greenery home!
our Mountain Greenery home

"My Favorite Things"

"My Favorite Things"



Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.

"My Foolish Heart"

"My Foolish Heart"



The night is like a lovely tune
Beware, my foolish heart
How white, the ever constant moon
Take care, my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see, on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you're lost in the magic of a kiss

Her lips, are much too close to mine
Beware, my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start

For this time, it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love my foolish heart
My foolish heart

For this time, it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time, it's love my foolish heart

My foolish heart
My foolish heart
Poor foolish heart

"My Funny Valentine"

"My Funny Valentine"



You're my funny valentine...
Sweet, comic valentine...
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine
Stay
Each day is Valentine's Day.

"My Heart Stood Still"

"My Heart Stood Still"



I laughed at sweethearts I met at school
All indiscreet hearts
Seemed romantic fools

A house in Iceland
Was my heart’s domain
I saw your eyes
Now castles rise in Spain

I took one look at you
That’s all I meant to do
And then
My heart stood still

My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet
My heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so, well, you knew

I never lived at all
Until the thrill of
That moment when
My heart stood still

"My Ideal"

"My Ideal"



Will I ever find the girl on my mind, the one who is my ideal?
Maybe she's a dream, and yet she might be
Just around the corner waiting for me.

Will I recognize the light in her eyes, that no other eyes reveal
Or will I pass her by and never even know that she is my ideal?

"My Inamorata"

"My Inamorata"



Be my star on high
Say I’ll live or die
In a word be my inamorata

Be the one for me
That I pray you’ll be
My affinity from the start

Say its all the way
Say it every day
Though you may be only playing a part

For I swear and I vow
As of here and now
You are all I love
Sweet inamorata of my heart
