MOONLIGHT (Romance and Nostalgia)

More enjoyable quotes

Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song.
The melody haunts my reverie and I’m once again with you
When our love was new and each kiss an inspiration.
But that was long ago. Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.
Beside a garden wall, when stars are bright, you are in my arms.
The nightingale tells his fairy tale of paradise where roses grow.
Tho’ I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain
My stardust melody, the melody of love’s sweet refrain.
(Mitchell Parish)

I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight
I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night
The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade
The stars are aglow and tonight their light set me dreaming
My love, do you know, that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and I sing you a moonlight serenade
Let us stray 'till the break of day in love's valley of dreams
Just you and I, a summer sky, a heavenly breeze, a kiss in the trees
So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade

(Mitchell Parish)

Hold me, kiss me
Whisper sweet things
That you love me
Forever
(B. Killen)

Ring twice if you're lonesome.

Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel aglow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight
Lovely, never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
I love you
Just the way you look tonight
(D. Fields)

You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
Moonlight becomes you- it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you - I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't you tell me I'm wrong
What a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along?
And if I say: "I love you" - I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight - although
Moonlight becomes you so
(Sonny Burke)

Keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight

Under a blanket of blue
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours
Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, I know my heart will dance
Within your arms
A summer nights magic
Enthralling me so
The night would be tragic
If you weren’t here to share it, my dear
Covered with heaven above
Let’s dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
Under a blanket of blue
(Glen Gray)

Tear a star from out the sky
And the sky feels blue
Tear a petal from a rose
And the rose weeps too
Take your heart away from mine
And mine will surely break
My life is yours to make
So please keep the spark awake
Would you take the wings from birds
So that they can't fly
Would you take the ocean's roar
And leave just a sigh
All this your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me

(Henry Nemo)

I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be seeing you.

(Irving Kahal)


Dance, dance,
Only with me
Only with me
Mear your heart
Dance, dance,
Cling close to me,
Never to part
Love, love,
Love only me,
All of our days from now on
Dance only with me
'till all our sweet music is gone

(Betty Comden and Adolph Green)

In the blue of evening when you appear close to me, dear one,
There in the dusk we'll share a dream reverie,
In the blue of evening while crickets call and stars are falling,
There 'neath the midnight sky you'll come to me.
In the shadows of the night we'll stand, I'll touch your hand.
And then, softly as your lovely eyes entreat, our lips will meet again.
In the blue of evening, night winds above whisper I love you,
will we find romance in the blue of evening.

(Thomas Montgomery Adair and Alfonso D'Artega)

Talk to her please Mister Sun, speak to her Mister Rainbow
 And take her under your branches, Mister Tree
Whisper to her, Mister Wind, sing to her Mister Robin
And Mrs Moonlight put in a word for me

Since you all are her friends, she'll listen to whatever you have to say
Babble to her Mister Brook, kiss her for me Miss Raindrops
And watch to see they all do please Mister Sun!

Babble to her Mister Brook, kiss her for me Miss Raindrops
And watch to see they all do please Mister Sun
(Sid Frank)

Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance so close with your lips touching his face?
Oh, can't you see I'm longing to be in his place
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Ask him to sit this one out, and while you're alone
I'll tell the waiter that he's wanted on the telephone
You've been locked in his arms ever since heaven knows when
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
You may never have to change partners again
(Irving Berlin)

There's hidden persuasion within your eyes
Your charming indifference is but a disguise
I would be glad to love you if love is in the deal
But I must be quite certain that the love is for real
Your hidden persuasion seems quite sincere
Perhaps my evasion is meaningless fear
Since every game requires the element of chance
Here's hoping at least we'll find romance
(W. Churchill III)

Say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
that's all I ask of you

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
say the word and I will follow you

Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me - that's all I ask of you

(Andrew Lloyd Weber, Phantom of the Opera)

If I told a lie, if I made you cry
When I said goodbye, I'm sorry
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize
If I caused you pain, I know I'm to blame
Must have been insane, believe me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize
I realize I've been unfair to you
Please let me make amends
Don't say that you forgot the love we knew
After all, we were more than friends
Give me back your glance, give me back romance
Give me one more chance, forgive me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize
If I made you blue, I've had heartaches too
Now I beg of you, forgive me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize

(sung by Billy Eckstine)

Blow me a kiss from across the room
Say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds or pearls
Champagne, sables, and such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
'cause honestly, honey, they just cost money
Give me a hand when I've lost the way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
For now and forever, that's always and ever
Honey, little things mean a lot

(Edith Lindman)

I see your face before me
Crowding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are always
If you could share the magic
Yes, if you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase your beautiful face before me

(Howard Dietz)

Last night when we were young
Love was a star
A song unsung

Life was so new
So real so right
Ages ago last night
Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star
That shone so bright
Ages ago last night
To think that spring had depended
On merely this a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could slip away in one little daybreak
So now let's reminisce and recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
When we were young last night
(Harold Arlen)

Once my heart was yearning just to know

If a true love there would ever grow

Then you came into my life one day

Stole my heart and took it far away

When twilight comes I'm thinking of you

When twilight fades, I'm dreaming of you

And all the beauty and magic of love thrills my heart

Just as it did ere we two had to part

How I have tried to smile and forget

But memories come and cling to me yet

Each night I meet you and kiss you

Then lose you again

Love's twilight dreams are in vain

There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion,
or company than a good marriage. (Mark Twain)


How much to discover
What chemical forces flow
From lover to lover
How little we understand
What touches off that tingle
That sudden explosion
When two tingles intermingle
Who cares to define
What chemical this is
Who cares with your lips on mine
How ignorant bliss is
So long as you kiss me
The world around us shatters
How little it matters
How little we know
(C. Leigh)

Did you say (that) I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight

Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight

One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight

What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight

What do you get for lessons
Teach me - come on and teach me - teach me tonight
(Sammy Cahn)

I walk along empty streets,
And night becomes another dawn.
It's only heartaches

that I meet.
And tears that tell me you
have gone from me.
Is it hard to see that,
My heart is breaking.
It was yours for the taking.
You said we're through,
What can I do,
When there's no you?
This time the loneliness I found,
Has taken over in my mind.
And it will always be around,
For a love like ours I'll
never find, I know.
Did you have to go,
'Cause my heart is breaking.
It was yours for the taking.
You said we're through,
What can I do,
When there's no you?
My heart is breaking.
It was yours for the taking.
You said we're through,
What can I do,
When there's no you?

(Les Reed, Jackie Rae)

How can you forget moments in the moonlight,
Moments of a love that used to be,
As I stare in space, I still see your face,
And once again I'm lost in your thrilling embrace.
Though the spell is o'er, somewhere in the moonlight,
Mem'ries of your kiss will live anew,
And we'll meet, my love, as I keep dreaming of
Moments in the moonlight with you.

(Irving Gordon, Al Kaufman, Richard Himber)

Sincerely, oh yes, sincerely
'cause I love you so dearly, please say you'll be mine
Sincerely, oh you know how I love you
I'll do anything for you, please say you'll be mine
Oh Lord, won't you tell me why
I love that fella so
He doesn't want me
But I'll never never never never let him go!
Please say you'll be mine

(Harvey Fuqua)

We love the shining sea

He got a seashell there for me

His hand, his strong brown hand

We sit on the sand

He kissed the hollow of my hand

His kiss, I miss his kiss

I hear the seagulls cry

I see them dip their wings

I feel the pounding surf

And other things

I can't believe he's gone

I think I'll go where he might be

I'll go, I need him so

I need a shining sea

Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When your in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If yowl only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
(Ned Washington)

There was a moon out in space
But a cloud drifted over its face
You kissed me and went on your way
The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres
Like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray
The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song
No bluer was he than I
moon went down
Stars were gone
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day

I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to light a fire in your heart. (The Ink Spots)

Close your eyes

Rest your head on my shoulder and sleep

And I will close mine

Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep

Close your eyes

Oh, this is divine

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 by your side, so

Close your eyes

(Bernice Petkere)

Dance only with me

Only with me near your heart

Cling close to me

Never to part

Love only me

All of our days from now on

Dance only with  me

'Till all our sweet music is gone

(Betty Comden and Adolph Green)

Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away(Ruth Lowe, Paul Mann & Stephen Weiss)

Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window looking on the mountains and the sea
How lovely
This is where I want to be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely
Believing love was only
A bitter tragic joke
Have found with you
The meaning of existence
Oh my love.
(Antonio Carlos Jobim )

Today I may not have a thing at all except for just a dream or two
But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow and all my tomorrows belong to you
Right now it may not seem like spring at all, we're drifting and the laughs are few
But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow, and all my tomorrows belong to you
No one knows better than I that luck keeps passing me by ... that's fate
But with you there at my side, I'll soon be turning the tide ... just wait
As long as I've got arms that cling at all, it's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, beg, or borrow on some bright tomorrow they'll all come true
And all my bright tomorrows belong to you

(Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen)

I HAVE DREAMED that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you whisper.
When you're close,
Close to me.
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.

In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you,
I will love being loved by you.

Alone and awake I've looked at the stars,
The same that smile on you;
And time and again I've thought all the things T
hat you were thinking too.

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you whisper.
When you're close,
Close to me.
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.

In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know.


What it's like to be loved by you.
I will love being loved by you.

(Rodgers & Hammerstein)

No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
My words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you.

say you love me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
that's all I ask of you

Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light;
You're safe, no one will find you,
Your fears are far behind you.

All I want is freedom,
A world with no more night
and you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me

Then say you'll share with me one life one lifetime
let me lead you from your solitude

Say you need me with you here beside you
anywhere you go let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
say the word and I will follow you

Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Say you love me

You know I do.

LOVE me,

that's all I ask of you.

(Charles Hart)

The sky fell down when I met you,
       The green of the countryside has turned to blue,
       I had the moon right on my fingertips,
       And when first we kissed, there were stars on your lips.
       To be with you just made it seem
       That walking on snowy clouds was not a dream,
       You gave to me all this and heaven too,
       When the sky fell down and I met you.

(Edward Heyman, Louis Alter)

A goddess on a mountain top

Burning like a silver flame

A summit of beauty and love

And Venus was her name.

She's got it, Yeah baby,she's got it.

I'm your Venus,

I'm your fire and your desire.

Her weapons were her crystal eyes

Making every man mad,

Black as the dark night she was

Got what no one else had

She's got it, Yeah baby, she's got it

I'm your Venus,

I'm your fire and your desire

(Shocking Blue)

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be on board that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful und I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

I heard there's a wicked war ablazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag araising
Their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly

Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the sea
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return safe home again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dell
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly

(Roger Whittaker)

The stars are shining in the East Texas air
Another 15 minutes and I'm gonna be there
It's been a long drive
But everything is going all right
I'm on the Gladwater Highway
Going juke joint jumping tonight
The juke joint's home where I learned how to sing
Where they honky tonk all night
And Hank Williams is king
We're gonna do a little dancing
Keep at it 'till broad daylight
It's a hip trip baby and all the cats are cool
It's the real thing and it sure is a welcome sight
I'm going joint jumping tonight
(Wayne Hancock)

What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid
 Time after time
 I tell myself that I'm
 So lucky to be loving you
 So lucky to be
 The one you run to see
 In the evening, when the day is through
 I only know what I know
 The passing years will show
 You've kept my love so young, so new
 And time after time
 You'll hear me say that I'm
 So lucky to be loving you
(Sammy Cahn)

Jean, Jean, roses are red
All the leaves have gone green
And the clouds are so low
You can touch them and so
Come out to the meadow Jean
Jean, Jean, you’re so young and alive
Come out of your dream
And run if you will to the top of the hill
Open your arms bonnie Jean
‘Til the sheep in the valley come home my way
‘Til the stars fall around me and find me alone
And the sun comes a singing
Then I’ll still be waiting for you
Jean, Jean, the roses are red
All the leaves are green
While the hills are ablaze with a moon yellow haze
Come into my arms bonnie Jean
And roam if you will to the top of the hill
Come into my arms bonnie Jean
Come into my arms bonnie Jean
(music by Henry Mancini)

A pale new moon, a sky of blue
And here am I but where are you?
A dream of love would soon come true
If I could reach the moon and you

The moon and you appear to be
So near and yet so far from me

And here am I on a night in June
Reaching for the moon and you

I wonder if we'll ever meet
My song of love is incomplete

I'm just the words looking for the tune
Reaching for the moon and you

(Irving Berlin)

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like a child sleeping
We could dream the night away
Look there’s a full moon rising
Let’s go dancing in the light
We know where the music is playing
Let’s go out and feel the night
Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dancing
Because I’m still in love with you
You and the harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
And when we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it’s getting late
And the moon is climbing high
I want to celebrate
See it shining in your eye
Because I’m still in love with you
Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dancing
Because I’m still in love with you
 You and the harvest moon
(by Neil Young)

Yo creo que naci por un Tango. I believe I was born because of a tango.

  (Julio Iglesias)

Wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Old dream maker
You heart breaker
Wherever you're going
I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting around the bend
My Huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

(Johnny Mercer)

Old flames can't hold a candle to you.

All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
The low rider drives a little slower
Low rider, is a real goer
Low rider knows every street
Low rider, is the one to meet
Low rider don't use no gas now
The low rider don't drive too fast
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip with me

(War)

Earth is our mother just turning around,
With her trees in the forest and their roots underground.
Our father above us whose sighing is the wind
Made us a rainbow with the clouds in the air.
As the river runs freely, the mountain does rise,
Let me touch my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children your love stayed around,
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home,
Like a flower that shattered the stone.
The sparrow finds freedom beholding the sun
In the infinite beauty we're all joined in one
I reach out before me and look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper something?
Did something pass by?
As the river runs freely, the mountain does rise,
Let me touch my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children your love stayed around,
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home.

(Oi Polloi)

The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie

The summer knows, the summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of her arms

And if you've learned your lessons well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall

(Marilyn and Alan Bergman)

Just one more time before we go

Embrace moi

With one more kiss

I feel a world of love will open wide

A world to welcome lovers

A shelter for the rain

To hold us safe inside

And sooth the lonely pain

If we embrace just one more time

Perhaps we'll stay here

And find that love is shining bright

All through the night

We just weren't meant to say goodbye

But to embrace

Embrace moi encore un fois

I want to feel your finger tips

Let us enjoy the touch of lips

Your lips on mine

Just little sips

O kiss me now

Come to my arms before its gone

This lovely glow

This is too near

It's much to dear to let it go

For if we never kiss again

We may not feel like this again

We might regret that we have let

All the love get away

And we may never want to say

Enbrace moi  encore fois

Embrace moi

Whenever I explore the land of Yen
I always take one on the chin
And now this lioness has almost made me tame.
I can't pronounce her name but Eggplant is her game.

The lady sticks to me like white on rice.
She never cooks the same way twice.
Maybe it's the mushrooms. Maybe the tomatoes.
I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.

When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book.
She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look

And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.

Maybe it's the way she grates her cheese,
Or just the freckles on her knees.
Maybe it's the scallions. Maybe she's Italian.
I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.

When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book.
She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look.

And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.

(Michael Franks)

C'mon and hold me, just like you told me
Then show me what I want to know
Why don't we steal away?
Why don't we steal away into the night?

(Robbie Dupree)

If you're feeling fancy free

Come wander through the world with me

And anyplace we chance to be

Will be our rendezvous

Two for the road

We'll travel down the years

Collecting precious memories selecting souvenirs

And living life the way we please

In summertime the sun will shine

In winter we'll drink summer wine

And everyday that you are mine

Will be a lovely day

As long as love still wears a smile

I know that we'll be two for the road

And that's a long, long while

(Leslie Bricusse)

Here within my lonely room, breeze blows in, I'm leaving soon.
I wonder if she waits for me tonight?
Old time songs we used to know bring her back from long ago.
I wonder if she waits for me tonight?
I still recall our last farewell, her soft brown ringlets fell across my arm as there I held her tight.
If an angel from the sky comes to close my weary eyes,
Then I'll know she waits for me tonight.
(Bob Nolan, Sons of the Pioneers)

Deep inside the forest is a door into another land
Here is our life and home

We are staying
Here forever in the beauty of this place all alone

We keep on hoping

Maybe, there's a world where we won't have to run

Maybe, there's a time we'll call our own

Living free in harmony and majesty

Take me home

Take me home

(Grizzly Adams theme song)

(Give me) A kiss to build a dream on.

Hey 98.6, it's good to have you back again.

I pray that someday I will find me a redneck girl

Yeah give me a, give me a, give me a redneck girl

(Bellamy Brothers)

I can't dispute you're a mighty handsome brute

You're nice, you're cute, but

Please don't rush me

It does appear that you're really quite sincere

So be a dear,

Please don't rush me

I love your show of affection

But taking it easy won't hurt you

I've heard there is a connection

Between patience and virtue

Be good, play fair,

This has caught me unaware

Let's stop for air

Please don't rush me

I must admit, you're a lad of charm and wit

This could be it

Just don't rush me

It's strange, it's new

I'm not sure what to do

But I'm with you, so

Don't rush me

The big flame frequently turns out

To be the first to grow colder

A well built fire never burns out

So let's sit here and smolder

I can't conceal that I hope this is for real

I feel the surge of an overwhelming urge

I'm on the verge, but

Please don't rush me

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything
Come on, wild thing

Wild thing, I think you move me
But I gotta know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
Oh you move me

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything
Come on, wild thing

(Chip Taylor)

Ever in dreams with you I'll sway dear

To the waltz you saved for me

Ever in dreams when I'm away dear

I'll hear this melody

Whisper goodbye and gently say dear

That in all the days to be

You'll always remember

The waltz you saved for me

You'll always remember

The waltz you saved for me
(Gus Kahn)

Two girls for every boy. (Brian Wilson)

You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine.

Let someone start believing in you,
let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens
One someone who can look in your eyes,
and see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you,
and what magic you'll see
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you.
and what magic you'll see
Let someone give his heart,
someone who cares like me
Let someone give his heart who cares like me

(Michel LeGrand)

Si deseo sonrier
Pienso solamente en ti
En la magia de tu amor
En tu piel, en tu sabor
En la isla del dolor
Recuerdo tu calor
Desearia morir
Cerca de ti
Un ardiente corazon
Colorea mi pasion
Deseando compartir
El sentir de este vivir
En las olas de este mar
Sueno en la eternidad
Con cada luna vendras
Con la merea te iras
En un caracol
Pienso oir tu voz
La bella Maria de mi amor
Aunque estemos separados
En un sueno angelicar
Si llego de nuevo amar
No hay razon, porque cambiar
Temo yo permancer
Sin ti en la eternidad
Lejos nos puedon separar
Jamas pudiera olvidar
Tu risa celestial
Tus besos, tu calor
La bella Maria de mi amor
Si no te vuelva a ver
No dejaras de ser
La bella Maria di mi amor
(Los Lobos)

In the sunlight of your smile
In the summer of our lives
In the magic of love
Storms above scattered away
Lovers dreaming in the night
Reaching for paradise
But as the dark shadows fade
Love slips away
On an empty stretch of beach
In the pattern of the waves
Drawing pictures in the sand with my hand
I see your face
Skipping pebbles on the sea
The restless tide's ebb and flow
Listening to a shell
Hoping for your voice
Beautiful Maria, of my soul
Though we'll always be apart
Like forever in a dream
If I ever love again
Even then nothing will change
And the taste of you remains
Clinging to paradise
But as the distance from you grows
All that my heart ever knows
Hunger from your kiss
Longing for your touch
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Filling all my nights
Haunting all my days
Beautiful Maria of my soul
(Los Lobos)

The Day the Rains Came Down
The day that the rains came down
Mother Earth smiled again
Now the lilacs could bloom
Now the fields could grow greener

The fday that the rains came down
Buds were born, love was born
As the young buds will grow
So our young love will grow
Love, sweet love

A robin sang a song of love
A willow tree reached up to the heavens
Asif to thank the sky above
For all that rain, that welcome rain

We looked across the meadowland
And seemed to sense a kind of a miracle
Much too deep to understand
And there we were, so much in love

(Betty E. Fisher)

The day that the rains came down
Mountain streams swelled with pride

Gone the dry river bed
Gone the dust from the valley

The day that the rains came down
Buds were born, love was born
As the young buds will grow
So our young love will grow

Love, sweet love
Rain sweet rain
(Carl Sigman )

Words don´t come easy to me,
How can I find a way to make you see I love you?
Words don´t come easy.

Words don´t come easy to me,
This is the only, way for me to say I love you,
Words don´t come easy.

Well, I´m just a music man,
Melodies are for my best friend,
But my words are coming out wrong.
Girl I reveal my heart to you,
And hope that you believe it´s true cause.

Words don´t come easy to me,
How can I find a way to make you see I love you?
Words don´t come easy.

This is just a simple song that I´ve made for you on my own;
There´s no hidden meaning you know when I,
When I say I love you, honey!
Please believe I really do cause.

It isn´t easy, words don´t come easy.
(Fr David

There’s some big black clouds
blowing in from the west
I’ve been driving all day and
I sure could use some rest
There’s a motel up ahead where I can unwind
‘Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
I grew up on the road from town to town
My daddy’s line of work kept us moving around
I’ve got fond memories of the way things were back then
The warmth of the neon when a bad storm was moving in
We listened to the Opry in small cafes
When we stopped to get a bite along the way
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine
It takes me back to another time
I’ve got a real nice room with a radio and TV
This here motel living is the only life for me
It looks like it’ll be raining for quite some time
Mixed with the lightning is the glow from a neon sign
We listened to the Opry in small cafes
When we stopped to get a bite along the way
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine
It takes me back to another time

(Wayne Hancock)

Hey, hey Paula, I wanna marry you
Hey, hey Paula, no one else will ever do
I've waited so long for school to be through
Paula, I can't wait no more for you
My love, my love

Hey Paul, I've been waiting for you
Hey, hey, hey Paul, I want to marry you too
If you love me true, if you love me still
Our love will always be real
My love, my love

True love means planning a life for two
Being together the whole day through
True love means waiting and hoping that soon
Wishes we've made will come true
My love, my love
(Ray Hildebrand)

And yes I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening bring me down
Now that you're around me
(Don McLean)

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love that I can be sure of
So tell me now and I will not ask you again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

(The Shirrels)

When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone you come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay while I pray

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day in a dream that’s divine
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away and your lips close to mine

Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh tell me the words that I’m longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same for as long as we live
That you’ll always be there at the end of my prayer
(Jimmy Kennedy and Georges Boulanger)

An old cowpoke went rid’n’ out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows
He saw a plowin’ through the ragged skies and up the cloudy draw
Yip-pee-yi-ay, yip-pee-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their brands were still on fire, and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny, and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders comin’ hard as he heard their mournful cry
Yip-pee-yi-ay, yip-pee-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky.
(Stan Jones)

It's after two and it just started to rain

The wind is blowing just like an old freight train

A distant thunder stirs me from my bed

And all those longing memories

That I once thought were dead

Cold lonesome wind, take me back home

Back to the country where I belong

Help me relive those days again

Take me back home cold lonesome wind

John made sure they never missed a meal

He worked those hours hard and long to keep up on the bills

Elma, she meant everything to him

And it's nights like this that really start me missing both of them

The years have passed and we've all moved away

In spite of everything that has gone, we're still all doing okay

But on certain lonesome stormy nights I can still be found

Searching through the memories of that little oil town

Cold lonesome wind, take me back home

Back to the country where I belong

Help me relive those days again

Take me back home cold lonesome wind (Wayne Hancock)

A family is a twosome that grew some.

Let me take you into the world of rhythm and pleasure. (Barney Fife)

You're all dressed up to go dreaming. Moonlight becomes you so.

(Johnny Burke)

I've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
 And the North Pole I've charted
But I still can't get started with you.
On the golf course I'm under par
And all the movies they ask me to star
My country home is a showplace
But I can't get no place with you
You're so supreme, lyrics I write of you
I dream dreams both day and night
I scheme just for the sight of you
But baby what good does it do?
The leading tailors follow my style
And toothpaste ads teach you my smile
But I'm still downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you.
(Ira Gershwin)

How lucky can one guy be
I kissed her, she kissed me
Like the fellow once said,
Ain’t it a kick in the head?
Her room was completely black,
I hugged her and she hugged back
Like the sailor said,
“Ain’t that a hole in the boat?”
My head keeps spinning
I go to sleep and keep grinning
If this is just the beginning,
My life is gonna’ be beautiful.
I’ve sunshine enough to spread
It’s just like the fellow said
Tell me quick, ain’t love a kick in the head.
She’s telling me we’ll be wed,
She’s picked out a king-sized bed
I couldn’t feel any better or I’d be sick
Tell me quick, ain’t love a kick in the head.
(Jimmy Van Heusen)

We lived our little drama

We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
While stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation - so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center - just you and me

My heart beats (just) like a hammer
(My) Arms wound around you tight
And (While) stars fell on Alabama
Last night

(Mitchell Parish)

I hear the cottonwoods
Whispering above
Tammy! Tammy!
Tammy's in love!

The ole hootie owl
Hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy!
Tammy's in love!

Does my darling feel
What I feel
When he comes near?
My heart beats so joyfully
You'd think that he could hear!

Wish I knew
If he knew
What I'm dreaming of!
Tammy! Tammy!
Tammy's in love!

Whippoorwill,
Whippoorwill,
You and I know
Tammy! Tammy!
Can't let him go!

The breeze from the bayou
Keeps murmuring low
Tammy! Tammy!
You love him so!

When the night is warm,
Soft and warm
I long for his charms!
I'd sing like a violin
If I were in his arms

Wish I knew
 If he knew
What I'm dreaming of!
Tammy, Tammy,
Tammy's in love!
(Jay Livingston)

Some enchanted evening
You may see a stranger,
you may see a stranger
Across a crowded room
And somehow you know,
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again.

Some enchanted evening
Someone may be laughin',
You may hear her laughin'
Across a crowded room
And night after night,
As strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter
Will sing in your dreams.

Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons,
Wise men never try.

Some enchanted evening
When you find your true love,
When you feel her call you
Across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side,
And make her your own
Or all through your life you
May dream all alone.

Once you have found her,
Never let her go.
Once you have found her,
Never let her go!

(Oscar Hammerstein II)

If you just could see yourself the way I do

You would see how wonderful you are

How can you know what love like yours can truly mean

Because when I’m holding you you’re just holding me

When we part, the one you leave is me, not you

You don’t know the loneliness I feel

The greatest gift that anyone could give to you

Would be for you to see yourself the way I do

(Henry Mancini, music composer)

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived 'til now
I tell them I don't know

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand

And yes I know, how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

And you love me too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do

The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but life is dead
That is my belief

And yes I know, how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me

The day that the rains came down
Mother Earth

smiled again
Now the lilacs could bloom
Now the fields could grow greener

The day that the rains came down
Buds were born, love was born
As the young buds will grow
So our young love will grow
Love, sweet love

A robin sang a song

of love
A willow tree reached up to the heavens
Asif to thank the sky above
For all that rain, that welcome rain

We looked across the meadowland
And seemed to sense a kind of a miracle
Much too deep to understand
And there we were, so much in love

The day that the rains came down
Mountain streams swelled with pride
Gone the dry river bed

Gone the dust from the valley

The day that the rains came down
Buds were born, love was born
As the young buds will grow
So our young love will grow

Love, sweet love
Rain sweet rain

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream 
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen 
Give him two lips like roses and clover 
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
 
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.
 
Mr. Sandman bring us a dream
Give him a pair of eyes with a “come-hither” gleam
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
Mr Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold)
Would be so peachy before we're too old
So please turn on your magic beam
Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please
Mr Sandman, bring us a dream.
(Pat Ballard)
