Folks are blessed
who make the best of everyday
Living by their own philosophy
Everyone beneath the sun must find a way
And I have found the only way for me

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin';
Why mess around with strife
I never was cut out to step and strut out.
Give me the simple life.

Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant.
Those things roll off my knife;
Just serve me tomatoes;
and mashed potatoes;
Give me the simple life.

A cottage small if all I'm after,
Not one that's spacious and wide.
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones you love inside.

Some like the high road,
I like the low road,
Free from the care and strife.
Sounds corny and seedy,
but yes, indeed-y;
I like the simple life.

Life could be thrilling with one
who's willing
To be a farmer's wife
Kids calling me pappy could
sure make me happy
Give me the simple life

Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh but you're lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me
But to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word
Your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
you're so lovely
never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

you're so lovely
never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

Just the way you look tonight

Folks are blessed who make their best of everyday
living by their own philosophy
Every one beneath the sun must find a way
and I have found the only way for me

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife
I never was cut out to step and strut out.
Give me the simple life!

The very thought of you
and I forget to do
The little ordinary things
that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you
the longing here for you
You'll never know
how slow the moments go
till I'm near to you
I see you're face
in every flower
Your eyes in the stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you my love

The mere idea of you
the longing here for you
You'll never know
how slow the moments go
till I'm near to you
I see your face
in every flower
Your eyes in the stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you my love

I'm thru with love,
I'll never fall again.
Said I do to love,
Don't ever call again.
For I must have you
Or no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.

I've locked my heart.
I keep my feelings there.
I have stopped my heart
Like an icy frigidaire.
For I need to care for no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.

Why did you leave me
To think that you cared.
You didn't need me.
You have your share
of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
Their deep devotion.
Emotion.

Did you good by the spring
And all it meant to me
a good neighbor
The things that used to be.
For I must have you or no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.
That's why I'm thru with love.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so
that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness
I seek
When we're out together dancing,
cheek to cheek.

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me
thro' the week
Seem to vanish like
a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing,
cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak,
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.

Dance with me
I want my arm about you;
The charm about you
Will carry me thro' to Heaven

I'm in Heaven,
and my heart beats so
that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness
I seek
When we're out together
dancing cheek to cheek.

Merry month of may, sunny skies of blue,
clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru,
May express happiness, joy you may define in a thousand ways,
but a case like mine needs a "special phrase"
to reveal how I feel.

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love!
I've got a song that I sing,

I can make the rain go, anytime I move my finger,
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love,
Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold the string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go,

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got the string around my finger,
What a world, what a life, I'm in love.
