"Smile"

"Smile"



Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fears and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

"Snowfall"

"Snowfall"



Snowfall
Softly
Gently drift down

Snowflakes
Whisper
'Neath my window

Covering trees
Misty lights
Velvet breeze
'Round my doorstep

Gently
Softly
Silent
Snowfall

Snowfall

"So Beats My Heart For You"

"So Beats My Heart For You"



You're the only reason for my happiness
You're the one I'm always dreaming of
Just to show you what I mean by happiness
Let me paint a picture of my love

As beats the ocean surf upon the sand
So beats my heart for you
For just as constantly as sea meets sand
So beats my heart for you

I'll always be true
Faithful to you
Skies have been blue
Since you came in view

As beats the rhythm of a mighty band
So beats my heart for you, dear
So beats my heart for you

As beats a melody that Ella hums
So beats my heart for you
Just as exciting as the bongo drums
So beats my heart for you

With you standing there
I'm walking on air
Fell debonair
Just like Fred Astaire

As beats the drummer swinging in a band
So beats my heart for you

Just like the beat of the tom toms
The crashes of cymbals and such
Here is my heart and its pounding
Oh baby I love you so much

So beats my heart
So beats my heart
So beats my heart for you

"So Far"

"So Far"



We have nothing to remember so far
So far, So far, So far
We haven’t walked by night
And shared the light of a star

So far
Your heart has ever fluttered
So near, so near
That my own heart alone could hear it

We haven’t gone beyond the very beginning
We’ve just begun to know how lucky we are
So we have nothing to remember
So far, So far
But now I’m face to face with you
And now at last we’ve met
And now we can look forward to the things
We’ll never forget

So far, So far
We haven’t walked by night
And shared the light of a star
That my own heart alone could hear it
We haven’t gone beyond the very beginning
We have just begun to know how lucky we are
So we have nothing to remember so far
So far
But now I’m face to face with you
And now at last we’ve met
And now we can look forward to the things
We’ll never forget

"So Long, Big Time!"

"So Long, Big Time!"



Bright lights are dimmer
Bank roll is slimmer
Looks like I’m down and done
Bye bye
I gotta run
Bye bye

So long, so long
Big time
So long, so long
Big time

I made it fine
I made it fast
That ain’t the sign
It has to last

Had it made for a while
In a highfalutin style

So long, so long
Big time
Big dough, bright lights
Big time

I won’t pretend I am
Glad its ended
It was fun
Now its done
But I’ll never sing
A loser’s song

So long big time
I gotta run
So long

Tell the chicks
And tell all the cronies
Lost it all on the cards
And the ponies
Tell the friends
And fair-weather phonies
Living high
Tell ‘em, “Bye”
And tell ‘em why

Lady Luck just gave me the brush off
So I’ll rush off
And try a new routine

I’m a guy who rolls with the punches
And my hunch is
Its time to quit the scene

Tell the kids
And tell all the cookies
Tell the babes
And tell all the bookies
That I knew
That I’m through
And when you do
Buy a few beers for me
Tell 'em no tears for me

So long, so long
Big time
Big dough, bright lights
Big time

Ain’t gonna grieve
‘Cause I must be leaving
It was funNow its done
But I’ll never sing
A loser’s song

So long big time
I gotta run
So long

"Solitude"

"Solitude"



In my solitude you haunt me
With reveries of days gone by
In my solitude you taunt me
With memories that never die

I sit in my chair
I'm filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send back my love

I sit in my chair
I'm filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad, go mad

In my solitude, In my solitude
I'm praying
Dear Lord above
Send back the one I love

"Some Other Spring"

"Some Other Spring"



Some other spring
I'll try to love
Now I still cling
To faded blossoms
Fresh and worn
Left crushed and torn
Like the love affair I mourn

Some other spring
When twilight falls
Will the night bring
Another to me?

Not your kind
But let me find
It's not true that love is blind
Sunshine's around me
But deep in my heart it's cold as ice
Love, once you've found me
But can that story unfold twice?

Some other spring
Will my heart awake
Stirring to sing
Love's magic music
Then forget that old duet
Find love in some other spring

"Some Other Time"

"Some Other Time"



Where has the time all gone to
Haven't done half the things we want to
Oh well, We'll catch up some other time

This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken
Oh Well, we'll catch up some other time

Just when the fun is starting
comes the time for parting
let's just be glad for what we had
And what's to come

There's some much more embracing
Still to be done but time is racing
Oh Well, we'll catch up some other time.

"Something"

"Something"



Something in the way she moves, attracts me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos me, I don't wanna leave her now.
You know I believe in how.....

Somewhere in her smile she knows, that I don't need no other lover.
Something in her style that shows me. I don't wanna leave her now.
You know I believe in how.....

You're askin' me will my love grow, I don't know, I don't know
You stick around now, it may show. I don't know, I don't know

Something in the way she moves me

Something in the way she knows, and all I have to do is think of her.
Something in the things she shows me. I don't wanna leave her now.
You know I believe in how.....

"Something In Your Smile"

"Something In Your Smile"



Something in your smile speaks to me
Something in your eyes shows me the way
And helps me to say the things
That I could never say to you

Something in your voice sings to me
Something in your laugh makes me rejoice
And there is no choice except
To let my thoughts all stray to you
And stray to you they do

Something in you is rich and rare
And there is something more
Something in you is everything
I’ve never known before

Something of your charm clings to me
Something of your warmth stayed in my heart
And made me a part of you for just a little while
So think of me as something in your smile
