1. _ For All We Know
Sweetheart, the night is growing old.
Sweetheart, my love is still untold.
A kiss that is never tasted,
Forever and ever is wasted.
For all we know we may never meet again.
Before you go, make this moment sweet again.
We won't say good night until the last minute.
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it.
For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. tomorrow's made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.
For all we know this may only be a dream.
We come and we go like a ripple on a stream.
So love me tonight. tomorrow was made for some.
Tomorrow may never come, for all we know.

2. _ Memories of You
Why can't I forget like I should?
Heaven knows I would if I could.
But I just can't keep you off my mind.
Though you're gone, I have to explain,
All around me you still remain.
Wonder why fate should be so unkind?
Waking skies at sunrise,
Every sunset, too,
Seems to be bringing me
Memories of you.
Here and there, everywhere,
Scenes that we once knew.
And they all just recall
Memories of you.
How I wish I could forget
Those happy yesteryears
That have left
A rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams
Spite of all I do.
Everything seems to bring
Memories of you.
Those memories of you.

4. _ I Remember You
I remember you.
You're the one who made my dreams come true,
A few kisses ago.
I remember you.
You're the one who said, "I love you, too.
I do. Didn't you know?"
I remember, too, a distant bell,
And stars that fell
Like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
Then I shall tell them I remember you.
Was it in Tahiti?
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago, say, an hour or so,
I recall that I saw your smile.
And I remember, too, a distant bell,
And stars that fell
Like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
Then I will tell them I remember,
Tell them I remember you.

5. _ Drinking Again
Drinkin' again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
Having a few.
Wishing that you were here.
Making the rounds.
Buying a round for total strangers.
Just being a fool,
'cause I keep hoping, hoping, hoping you'll appear.
Sure I can borrow a smoke.
I can sit here all night and tell these jokers some jokes,
But who wants to laugh, who's gonna laugh
At a broken heart?
Oh, my heart is aching, I swear it's breaking.
And I'm drinking again.
Thinking of when you loved me.
And I'm tryin' to get home
With nothing, nothing but a memory.
Yes, I'm dying to get home,
Dying to get home.
And I got nothin' but a bottle of beer,
And just my memory.

7. _ Mr. Wonderful
Why this feeling? Why this glow?
Why the thrill when you say hello?
It's a strange and tender magic you do.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
Why this trembling when you speak?
Why this joy when you touch my cheek?
I must tell you what my heart knows is true.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
And why this longing to know your charms?
To spend forever here in your arms?
Oh, there's much more I could say,
But the words keep slipping away,
And I'm left with one point of view.
Mister Wonderful, that's you.
One more thing, then I'm through.
Mister Wonderful,
Mister Wonderful,
Mister Wonderful, I love you!

8. _ Folks Who Live On the Hill
Many men with lofty aims strive for lofty goals.
Others play at smaller games, being simpler souls.
I am of the latter brand. All I want to do
Is to find a spot of land and live there with you.
Someday we'll build a home
On a hilltop high, you and I,
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill.
And we'll be pleased to be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
Someday we may be adding
A thing or two, a wing or two.
We will make changes as any family will.
But we will always be called
"The folks who live on the hill."
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green,
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen.
And when the kids grow up and leave us,
We'll sit and look at the same old view, just we two.
Darby and Joan who, used to be Jack and Jill,
The folks like to be called
What they have always been called,
"The folks who live on the hill."

9. _ Come Rain or Come Shine
[Eddie:] "Hey, Sarge . . .
Sing him a song, honey. He's earned it! Ha ha!"
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain, deep as a river,
Come rain or come shine.
And I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things.
But don't ever bet me,
'cause I'm gonna be true if you let me, let me.
You're always gonna love me like nobody's loved me,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together, unhappy together,
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of the money.
But I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
Days may be cloudy or sunny.
We're in or we're out of the money.
But I'm with you always.
I'm with you rain or shine.
Rain or shine.

10. _ P.S. I Love You
Dear, I thought I'd drop a line.
The weather's cool. The folks are fine.
I'm in bed each night at nine.
P.S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain,
but all in all I can't complain.
Was it dusty on the train?
P.S. I love you.
Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able.
They came around to call.
I burned a hole in the dining room table.
And let me see, I guess that's all.
Nothin' else for me to say,
and so I'll close. Oh, by the way,
everybody's thinkin' of you.
P.S. I love you.
I do my best to obey all your wishes.
I put a sign up. Think
now I got to buy us a new set of dishes,
or wash the ones that have piled in the sink.
Nothing else to tell you, dear.
Except, each day feels like a year.
Every night I'm dreamin' of you.
P.S. I love you.
P.S. I love you.

13. _ Is That All There is?
"I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms
And raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a fire?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to the circus,
The greatest show on earth.
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle,
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was over I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to a circus?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.
"Then I fell in love with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love. Then one day, he went away.
And I thought I'd die, but I didn't.
And when I didn't, I said to myself,
'Is that all there is to love?'"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
"I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
'If that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all?'
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
When that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath,
I'll be saying to myself"
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends,
Then let's keep dancing.
Let's break out the booze
And have a ball
If that's all there is.

14. _ He Was Too Good To Me/Since You Stayed Here
He was too good to me.
How will I get along now?
So close he stood to me.
Everything seems all wrong now.
He would have brought me the sun.
Making me smile, that was his fun.
When I was mean to him
He'd never say, "Go away, now."
I was a queen to him.
Who's gonna light my way now?
It's only natural that I'm blue.
He was too good to be true.
You'd never recognize the room.
The pictures all have different frames now.
And all the chairs are rearranged now.
Somehow, I've thrown out every souvenir.
Yes, there've been changes made
Since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the street.
The neighbor's kids play different games now.
The colors in the trees have changed now.
Strange how I've hardly thought of you this year.
Yes, there've been changes made since you stayed here.
The same address, the more or less.
More happens, less matters, I guess.
You'd never recognize my life.
The party-givers know my name now.
And when I cry it's not the same now.
Somehow, I never waste a single tear.
Yes, there've been changes made
Since you stayed here.
You'd never recognize the room.
You'd never recognize
