Loveliest Night Of The Year

Loveliest Night Of The Year
Mario Lanza

When you are in love
It's the loveliest night of the year
Stars twinkle above
And you almost can touch them from here

Words fall into rhyme
Any time you are holding me near
When you are in love
It's the loveliest night of the year

Waltzing along in the blue
Like a breeze drifting over the sand
Thrilled by the wonder of you
And the wonderful touch of your hand and...

My heart starts to beat
Like a child when a birthday is near
So kiss me, my sweet...
It's the loveliest night of the year

[Instrumental Interlude]

Waltzing along in the blue
Like a breeze drifting over the sand
Thrilled by the wonder of you
And the wonderful touch of your hand and...

My heart starts to beat
Like a child when a birthday is near
So kiss me, my sweet...
It's the loveliest night of the year

If

If
Perry Como

If they made me a king,
I'd be but a slave to you . . .

If I had everything,
I'd still be a slave to you . . .

If I ruled the night,
Stars and moon so bright,
Still I'd turn for light to you!

If the world to me bowed,
Yet humbly I'd flee to you . . .

If my friends were a crowd,
I'd turn in my need to you . . .

If I ruled the earth,
What would life be worth,
If I hadn't the right to you!

[ Instrumental Break ]

If I ruled the night,
Stars and moon so bright,
Still I'd turn for light to you . . .

If the world to me bowed,
Yet humbly I'd flee to you . . .

If my friends were a crowd,
I'd turn in my need to you . . .

If I ruled the earth,
What would life be worth,
If I hadn't the right . . .
To you!

Cold, Cold Heart

Cold, Cold Heart
Tony Bennett

I tried so hard, my dear to show
That you're my every dream
Yet, you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

[Instrumental Interlude]

There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

On Top Of Old Smoky

On Top Of Old Smoky
Weavers

On top of old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courtin' so slow

For courting's a pleasure (for courting's a pleasure)
But parting is grief (but parting is grief)
And the false hearted lover (and the false hearted lover)
Is worse than a thief (is worse than a thief)

A thief will just rob you (a thief will just rob you)
And take what you have (and take what you have)
But a false hearted lover (but a false hearted lover)
Will lead you to the grave (will lead you to the grave)

And the grave will decay you (and the grave will decay you)
Turn you to dust (and turn you to dust)
Not one boy in a hundred (not one boy in a hundred)
A poor girl can trust (a poor girl can trust)

How do!
They'll hug you and kiss you (they'll hug you and kiss you)
Tell you more lies (and tell you more lies)
Than cross ties on a railroad (than cross ties on a railroad)
Or the stars in the sky (or stars in the sky)

So come all you young maidens (come all you young maidens)
And listen to me (and listen to me)
Never place your affection (never place your affection)
On a green willow tree (on a green willow tree)

For the leaves they will wither (the leaves they will wither)
And roots they will die (the roots they will die)
You'll all be forsaken (you'll all be forsaken)
And never know why (and never know why)

Be My Love

Be My Love
Mario Lanza

Be my love
For no one else can end this yearning
This need that you and you alone create
Just fill my arms
The way you've filled my dreams
The dreams that you inspire
With every sweet desire

Be my love
And with your kisses set me burning
One kiss is all I need to seal my fate
And hand in hand we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you for me, eternally
If you will be my love

[Instrumental Interlude]

And hand in hand we'll find love's promised land
There'll be no one but you for me, eternally
If you will be my love
