"Close Enough For Love"

"Close Enough For Love"



You and I, an unmatched pair
Took the time to touch, to share
Worlds apart the night we met
We braved the odds and won the bet

Not perfect yet
But close enough for love

How old-fashioned, pure romance
Shared a kiss, we shared a dance
Shared the body and bouquet
We’ll taste the wine another day

When you and I
Are close enough for love

Not just lovers, more than friends
Who knows where one starts and one ends
Tracing lights through sleepless nights
That I’ll remember always, always

Long goodbyes and tearful looks
Hold up well in poems and in books
But you and I have life to hold
The greatest story never told

Not perfect yet
But close enough for love

"Close Your Eyes"

"Close Your Eyes"



Music play
something dreamy for dancing
while we're here romancing
It's love's holiday
And Love will be our guide

Close your Eyes
When you open them dear
I'll be right hear by your side
So...

Close your eyes
rest your head on my shoulder and sleep
Close your eyes
And I will close mine

Close your eyes
Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep
Close your eyes
This is divine

Music play
something dreamy for dancing
while were here romancing
It's love's holiday
And Love will be our guide

Close your Eyes
When you open them dear
I'll be near by your side
So won't you close your eyes...

"Cloudy Morning"

"Cloudy Morning"



Cloudy morning, dark as night
Tops of buildings, lost from sight
Sign of spring was nowhere to be seen
The trees in Central Park were anything but green

And then that cloudy morning slowly cleared
Tops of buildings reappear
Then suddenly I saw you come my way
And I knew that this would be a lovely day

And then that cloudy morning slowly cleared
Tops of buildings reappear
Then suddenly I saw you come my way
And I knew that this would be a lovely day

That day in Central Park
That cloudy morning
Then it suddenly cleared
Then you appeared

"Coco"

"Coco"



Coco
Coco
Hoping too high
Fell down from the sky
And started to cry
It’s the end of Coco, Coco
Where is a friend
To trust and depend upon?

Scan the hills
Rake the sky
But your searching won’t end
‘Til you try
To learn to turn to
Someone who’s called Coco, Coco, Coco
Could be the end of Coco, Coco

Go find a friend
You can trust and depend upon
Scan the hills
Rake the sky
But your searching won’t end
‘Til you try
To learn to turn to
Someone who’s called Coco, Coco, Coco

"Coffee Break"

"Coffee Break"



Workin’ hard is stimulating
Now arrest your contemplating
Won’t be long now then you may take
That most delightful welcome coffee break

You’re a modern thinking person
But you mind needs some diversion
So get ready to depart now
For that delightful welcome coffee break

Now you’ve got your coffee
And its hot and black too
Watch your waistline
Can’t use cream

Look who’s sittin’ there now
Isn’t that a treat now?
Sittin’ next to you: a dream

Now you’ve had your inspiration
Coffee, cream and conversation
Back to work now no diversion
You’ve had a most delightful coffee break

"Cold, Cold Heart"
(feat. Tim McGraw)

"Cold, Cold Heart"
(feat. Tim McGraw)



I tried so hard, my dear to show
That you're my every dream
Yet, you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

[Instrumental Interlude]

There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

"Cole Porter Medley"

"Cole Porter Medley"



What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw her there one wonderful day
She took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

"Come Saturday Morning"

"Come Saturday Morning"



Come Saturday morning
I'm going away with my friend
We'll Saturday-spend more than half of the day
Just I and my friend
We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles
And then we'll move on
But we will remember long after Saturday's gone

Come Saturday morning
I'm goin’ away with my friend
We'll Saturday-laugh more than half of the day
Just I and my friend
Dressed up in our rings and our Saturday things
And then we'll move on
But we will remember long after Saturday's gone

We will remember long after Saturday is gone

"Country Girl"

"Country Girl"



Country girl, country girl
I beheld her in meadowland
Bowing and reaping and singing a refrain
Oh, what a melancholy strain
The valley echoed with a ring
No nightingale could ever sing
So plaintively as the country girl

I was spellbound and curious
Why such a sad song?
Perhaps love passed her by
No hopeful rainbow in the sky
Maybe she held a memory dear
A happiness of yesteryear
In solitude cried the country girl

Came the hour to travel on
Sadness befell me
A sorrow filled my heart
A longing never to depart
The music in my soul I bore
Long after it was heard no more
And memories of a country girl
Whose love I’ll never know

"Crazy Rhythm"

"Crazy Rhythm"



Crazy rhythm
Here’s the doorway
I’ll go my way
You’ll go your way
Crazy rhythm
From now on
We’re through

Here is where we have a showdown
I’m too high hat
You’re too low down
Crazy rhythm
Here’s goodbye to you

They say that when a high brow
Meets a low brow
Walking along Broadway
Soon the high brow he has no brow
Ain’t it a shame
and you’re to blame

What’s the use of prohibition?
You produce the same condition
Crazy rhythm
I’ve gone crazy too

They say that when a high brow
Meets a low brow
Walking along Broadway
Soon the high brow he has no brow
Ain’t it a shame
and you’re to blame

What’s the use of prohibition?
You produce the same condition
Crazy rhythm
I’ve gone crazy too
