I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life To get the feel of life... From jazz and cocktails.The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distant gay traces That used to be there you could see where theyd been washed awayBy too many through the day... Twelve oclock tales.Then you came along with your siren of song To tempt me to madness! I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness Of a great love for me.Ah yes! I was wrong... Again, I was wrong.Life is lonely again, And only last year everything seemed so sure. Now life is awful again, A troughful of hearts could only be a bore. A week in paris will ease the bite of it, All I care is to smile in spite of it.Ill forget you, I will While yet you are still burning inside my brain. Romance is mush, Stifling those who strive. Ill live a lush life in some small dive... And there Ill be, while I rot With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too.. |

I used to walk with you
Along the avenue Our hearts were carefree and gay How could I know Id lose you Somewhere along the way?The friends we used to know Would always smile hello No love like our love theyd say Then love slipped through our fingers Somewhere along the wayI should forget But with the loneliness of night I start remembering evrythingYoure gone and yet Theres still a feeling deep inside That you will always be part of meSo now I look for you Along the avenue And as I wander I pray That some day soon Ill find you Somewhere along the wayI should forget But with the loneliness of night I start remembering evrythingYoure gone and yet Theres still a feeling deep inside That you will always be part of meSo now I look for you Along the avenue And as I wander I pray That some day soon Ill find you Somewhere along the way Somewhere along the way |

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do And you'll find happiness without an end Whenever you pretend Remember anyone can dream And nothing's bad as it may seem The little things you haven't got Could be a lot if you pretend You'll find a love you can share One you can call all your own Just close your eyes, she'll be there You'll never be a lone And if you sing this melody You'll be pretending just like me The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend So why don't you pretend? And if you sing this melody You'll be pretending just like me The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend So why don't you pretend? |

TENDERLY
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly Then you and I came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly Your arms opened wide and closed me inside You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly |

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 fear 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 <instrumental interlude> 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 |

A blossom fell from off a tree
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me The gypsies say and I know why ""A falling blossom only touches lips that lie""A blossom fell and very soon I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon I thought you loved me, you said you loved me We planned together to dream forever The dream has ended, for true love died The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that liedA blossom fell and very soon I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon I thought you loved me, you said you loved me We planned together to dream forever The dream has ended, for true love died The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied |

Too young to go steady
Too young, I hear her say She says we're not ready But then why am I feeling this way? Too young, so she tells me She says we'll have to wait Why wait till it may be too late? Can she realize she drives me wild? Is she made of stone? Must she always act just like a child? Won't she ever own up, we're grown up? Someday she'll be sorry Someday just wait and see She'll wish she'd gone steady with me Can she realize she drives me wild? Is she made of stone? Must she always act just like a child? Won't she ever own up, we're grown up? Someday she'll be sorry Someday just wait and see She'll wish she'd gone steady with me |

Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Take me out of this world tonight. Take me; make me forget my sorrow, So when I wake tomorrow, I'll know our love was right. Kiss me as though it were now of never; Teach me all that a heart should know. Love me as though there were no tomorrow; Oh my darling, love me; don't ever let me go. (Instrumental interlude and pick up.) Kiss me as though it were now or never; Teach me all that a heart should know. Love me as though there were no tomorrow; Oh my darling, love me; don't ever let me go. |

To the ends of the earth
I'll follow my star To the ends of the earth Just to be where you are No matter where you roam I'll never be far behind Who cares where the path may wind As long as I find you? Though the melody dies The song lingers on And a thousand goodbyes Won't convince me you're gone I'll follow you, my love You'll never be free To the ends of the earth Till you've given your love to me To the ends of the earth I'll follow my star To the ends of the earth Just to be where you are No matter where you roam I'll never be far behind Who cares where the path may wind As long as I find you? Though the melody dies (Though the melody dies) The song lingers on (The song lingers on) And a thousand goodbyes (And a thousand goodbyes) Won't convince me you're gone (Won't convince me you're gone) I'll follow you, my love You'll never be free To the ends of the earth Till you've given your love to me |

Time and the river
Will bring my love to me If I must, I'll wait forever By the river that took her to the sea Here by the river We loved, we laughed, we cried But with time, my love, my darling Left my arms and was gone with the tide How long I've been lonely Star of love, shine bright I need her oh, lead her To my arms tonight Time and the river How swiftly they go by But my heart will beat for no other Till time stands still and the river runs dry Time and the river How swiftly they go by But my heart will beat for no other Till time stands still and the river runs dry |
