2. _ Who Wants Love?
Who wants love?
Love is a joy we borrow
Pay back in tears tomorrow
So who wants love?
Who wants love?
Something to fill your heart with
So very soon to part with
So who wants love?
Love is a dream of weaving
Moonbeams in patterns rare
Love is a child believing
Stories of castles in the air
So who wants love
I'll go away without it
I know too much about it
Who wants love

3. _ Where Is the Sun?
Oh clouds above me
Where are the birds that used to sing?
Everything's wrong
Oh where is their song of love?
Where is the one
Who said he loved me
Far, like those clouds he used to bring
Can it be true there's somebody new to love?
Listen my heart
Don't feel so bad
Think of the kisses we knew
You know my heart
The moments we had
Maybe he's missing them too
Where is the sun?
Oh clouds above me
Don't lake the dreams to which I cling
Where is the sun?
Oh where is the one I love?

4. _ Did I Remember?
Did I remember to tell you I adore you
And I am livin' for you alone
Did I remember to say
I'm lost without you
And just how mad about you I've grown
You were in my arms
And that was all I knew
We were alone, we two
What did I say to you
Did I remember to tell you I adore you
And pray forevermore you'll be mine
[Repeat]

5. _ No Regrets
No regrets altho' our love affair has gone astray
No regrets I know I'll always care though you're away
Somehow our happy romance ended suddenly
Still in my heart you'll be forever mine
No regrets because somebody new looks good to you
No regrets sweetheart no matter what you say or do
I know our love will linger when the other love forgets
Still in my heart you'll be forever mine

6. _ Don't Know If I'm Comin' or Goin'
You've got me on the road
Runnin' to and fro
Lookin' high and low
I don't know if I'm coming or going
Since I fell for you
I run up across the town
Chasing up and down
Having you around
I don't know if I'm coming or going
Since I fell for you

7. _ Me, Myself and I
Me, myself and I
Are all in love with you
We all think you're wonderful
We do
Me, myself and I
Have just one point of view
We're convinced
There's no one else like you
It can't be denied dear
You brought the sun to us
We'd be satisfied dear
If you, you'd belong to one of us
So if you pass me by
Three hearts will break in two
Cause me, myself and I
Are all in love with you
Me, myself and I
Are all in love with you
We all think you're wonderful
We do
Me, myself and I
Have just one point of view
We're convinced
There's no one else like you
It can't be denied dear
You brought the sun to us
We'd be satisfied dear
If you'd belong to one of us
So if you pass me by
Three hearts will break in two
Cause me, myself and I
Are all in love with you

8. _ Born to Love
There's something that rules our destiny
Right from the first day of our birth
although you may not care for me
You have your mission on this earth
You were born to love
Sure as you live
Born with everything heaven could give
You have eyes and they express
Love at a glance
You have lips who's tenderness
Speak of romance
Like a dream of love, lovely to see
You're the angel of my destiny
And to think that you have found
Your place on earth only to be
Born to love and be loved by me

9. _ Riffin' the Scotch
I jumped out of the fryin' pan
And right into the fire
When I lost me a cheatin' man
And got a no-count liar
Swapped the old one for a new one
Now the new one's breakin' my heart
I jumped out of the tryin' pan
And right into the fire
Lord, right into the fire

10. _ Your Mother's Son-In-Law
You don't have to have a hanker
To be a broker or a banker
No siree, just simply be
My mother's son-in-law.
Needn't even think of tryin'
To be a mighty social lion
Sipping tea, if you'll be
My mother's son-in-law,
Ain't got the least desire
To set the world on fire
Just wish you'd make it proper
To call my old man papa
You don't have to sing like Bledsoe
You can tell the world I said so
Can't you see you've got to be
My mother's son-in-law.
You don't have to sing like Jessel
You can tell the world I said so
Can't you see, you've got to be
My mother's son-in-law.

11. _ Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
You say either
And I say either
You say neither
And I say neither
Either, either, neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off
You like potatoes
And I like potatoes
You like tomatoes
And I like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So it you like pajarnas and I like pajamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off
So if you go for oysters
And I go for oysters
I'll order oysters and cancel the oysters
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off

12. _ Getting Some Fun Out of Life
When we want to love, we love
When we want to kiss, we kiss
With a little petting, we're getting
Some fun out of life
When we want to work. we work
When we want to play, we play
In a happy setting, we're getting
Some fun out of life
Maybe we do the right things
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Just wending our way along
When we want to sing, we sing
When we want to dance, we dance
You can do your betting, we're getting
Some fun out of life
Maybe we do the right things
Maybe we do the wrong
Spending each day
Just wending our way along
But when we want to sing, we sing
When we want to dance, we dance
You can do your betting, we're getting
Some fun out of life

13. _ Please Keep Me in Your Dreams
Please keep me in your dreams
In your sweet dreams let me hold you
When through your window
The breeze comes swingin'
It's just bringin' this love song that I'm singin'
Please keep me in your dreams
My kiss it seems must have told you
My heart you'll borrow until tomorrow
So please keep me in your dreams
|

14. _ Without Your Love
Without your love
I'm like a song without words
Just like a nest without birds
Without your love
Fine sun above
Will never shine at my door
My life holds nothing in store
Without your love
I rode the crest of a wave
With you beside me
Now who's to guide me
Because I'm lost at sea
Without your love
I'm like a plane without wings
A violin with no strings
Without your love
I've rode the crest of a wave
With you beside me
Now who's to guide me
Because I'm lost at sea
Without your love
I'm like a plane without wings
A violin with no strings
Without your love

15. _ If My Heart Could Only Talk
If my heart could only talk
Heaven would be mine
If my heart could only talk
Life would be divine
You would hear my song of love so tender
It would thrill you until you willingly surrender
If my heart could only talk
Dreams would all come true
'Neath the starlight I would walk
Hand in hand with you
I would have to seek your lips
Thrill you to your fingertips
If my heart could only talk
If my heart could only talk
Dreams would all come true
'Neath the starlight I would walk
Hand in hand with you
I would have to seek your lips
Thrill you to your fingertips
If my heart could only talk

16. _ They Can't Take That Away from Me
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On that bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you change my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me

17. _ Let's Call a Heart a Heart
When we're in a friendly situation
My conversation may not be smart
But if we're to have a perfect understanding
Let's call a heart a heart
There are words that should be whispered gently
That's evidently the way to start
If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding
Let's call a heart a heart
Can I prove how I yearn
Just by the turn of a phrase
Can I keep my control
When all my soul is aflame
Maybe we'd call a true confession
And in discretion on someone's part
But if I'm to say how madly I adore you
Let's call a heart a heart

18. _ Sailboat in the Moonlight
A sailboat in the moonlight
And you
Wouldn't that be heaven
A heaven just for two
A soft breeze on a June night and you
What a perfect setting
For letting dreams come true
A chance to sail away
To Sweetheart Bay
Beneath the stars that shine
A chance to drift
For you to lift
Your tender lips to mine
Some things dear
That I long for are few
Just give me a sailboat in the moonlight and you
A chance to sail away
To Sweetheart Bay
Beneath the stars that shine
A chance to drift
For you to lift
Your tender lips to mine
Some things dear
That I long for are few
Just give me a sailboat in the moonlight and you

20. _ One Never Knows, Does One?
One never knows, does one?
When love will come along
Then so suddenly life turns out to be a song
One never knows, does one?
The moment or the place
Then right before your eyes
Someone occupies your embrace
Someday look and you'll find
Two hearts were blest
Someday fate may be kind
Pray for the future
Hope for the best
One never knows, does one?
That's just the way it goes
All at once you hear
"Hold me. Caress me"
And then love may come
But when, one never knows
