The Songs I Love

The days of wine and roses,
Laugh and run away,
Like a child at play,
Through a meadowland,
Toward a closing door,
A door marked never more,
That wasn't there before.

The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!

The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Some somebody twice as smart as i!
A somebody who,
Will swear to be true,
Like you used to do with me,
Who will leave you to learn,
That misery loves company,
Wait and see!

I wanna be around to see how he does it,
When he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine!
And that's when i'll discover,
That revenge is sweet,
As i sit there applaudin'
From a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Like you broke mine!

The songs they're playin' that we both romanced to,
Those lovely songs we stayed up late and danced to,
They taught me where my heart belongs,
These are the songs i love!

The tender melodies we often sighed to,
That special one we said good-bye and cried to,
Because they righted all the wrongs,
These are the songs i love!

The happy rhymes, the underscored,
The happy time when we found spring together.
The pretty themes, that underscored the pretty dreams,
That make us cling together!

These songs we'll call our own and face the years with,
We'll face the laughter, yes, and face the tears with,
They'll help us through the rain and shine,
These songs i love because these songs are yours and mine!

I left my heart in san francisco,
High on a hill, it calls to me,
To be where little cable cars,
Climb halfway to the stars,
The morning fog may chill the air,
I don't care!
My heart waits there, in san francisco,
Above the blue and windy sea.
When i come home to you, san francisco,
Your golden sun will shine for me

Love is like a never ending melody,
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
But our song of love is slightly out of tune . . . .

Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich,
Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing,
Like the bossa nova love should swing . . . .

We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Now the song is different and the words don't even rhyme,

Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like,
On jupiter and mars.
In other words, hold my hand,
In other words, darling kiss me.

Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more,
You are all i long for,
All i worship and adore,
In other words, please be true,
In other words, i love you.
