1.Butterfly

Lyrics:Bernie Lowe/Kal Mann
Music:Bernie Lowe/Kal Mann

You tell me you love me, you say you'll be true
Then you fly around with somebody new
But I'm crazy about you, you butterfly

You treat me mean, you're makin' me cry
I've made up my mind to tell you goodbye
But I'm no good without you, you butterfly

I knew from the first time I kissed you
That you were the troublin' kind
'cause the honey drips from your sweet lips
One taste and I'm outta my mind

I love you so much I know what I'll do
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through
'cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly


Ooh, I'm crazy about you, you butterfly

Ooh, I can't live without you, you butterfly

I knew from the first time I kissed you
That you were the troublin' kind
'cause the honey that drips from your sweet lips
One taste and I'm outta my mind

Ooh, I love you so much I know what I'll do
I'm clippin' your wings, your flyin' is through
'cause I'm crazy about you, you butterfly

You butterfly
You butterfly


2.Canadian Sunset

Written:Norman Gimbel/Eddie Heywood

Once I was alone
So lonely and then
You came, out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills

Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, warm were your lips
Out there, on that ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills

A weekend in Canada, a change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I found the love that I couldn't ignore

Down, down came the sun
Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
I knew when the sun set
From that day, we'd never ever part


3.I Like Your Kind Of Love

Oh honey babe, oh honey babe
Oh honey babe, I like your kind of love
That's good, baby that's good

Honey babe, I like the way that you walk by
I like the way you swing your eye
I like your kind of love
That's good, baby that's good

Every night I like the way you beg for more
And linger there outside the door
I like your kind of love
That's good, baby that's good

Well, well, well-ll-ll ain't it swell
Can't reveal-l-l how I feel
And no one else could ever thrill me like you do
You make my every dream come true
I like your kind of love
That's good, baby that's good

Oh honey babe, oooo honey babe
MMMMM honey babe
I like your kind of love
That's good, baby that's good

Honey baby I like the way you wear your clothes
My love for you just grows and grows
I like your kind of love
Honey you know I do

When you're near you don't know what you do to me
And that's the way it oughta be
I like your kind of love
Honey you know I do

Don't you know-o-o that I love you so
Can't you see-e-e that you're for me
Honey babe I like the way you hold my hand
To make me know you understand
I like your kind of love
Honey you know I do
Oh honey babe, oooo honey babe
MMMMM honey babe
I like your kind of love
That's good, baby that's good
Honey babe I like your kind of love

FADE


4.Are You Sincere?

Are you sincere when you say 'I love you?'
Are you sincere when you say 'I'll be true?'
Do you mean every word that my ears have heard?
I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?
Are you sincere? (Are you sincere?)

Are you sincere when you say you miss me? (You miss me)
Are you sincere every time you kiss me? (You kiss me)
And are really mine every day, all the time?
I'd like to know which way to go, will our love grow?
Are you sincere? (Are you sincere?)

Are really mine every day, all the time?
I'd like to know (I'd like to know)
Which way to go (Which way to go)
Will our love grow ? (Will our love grow?)
Are you sincere?


5.Lonely Street

Written:Carl Belew/Kenny Sowder/W.S.Stevenson

Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'

I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'

A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'

Perhaps upon that lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love di-ie

If I could find that lonely street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'

Where's this place called 'Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?'


6.The Village Of St. Bernadette

Lyrics:Eula Parker
Music:Eula Parker

I've traveled far, the land and the sea
Beautiful places I happened to be
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

There, like a dream, this wonderful night
I gazed at the grotto aglow in the light
A feeling divine swept over me there
I fell to my knees as I whispered the prayer

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

Now I am home, I'm happy to be
Telling of places I've traveled to see
One little town I'll never forget
Is Lourdes, the village of St. Bernadette

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-i-ia

Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a
Ave, ave, ave Ma-ri-a


7.Moon River

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Henry Mancini

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' 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, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

(Moon river, wider than a mile)
(I'm crossin' you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River, and me

(Moon River, Moon River)


8.Can't Get Used To Losing You

Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
I'll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you

Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say 'Hello'
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you

I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kiddin', only me
'cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a helpless case

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you

I can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough-loving you


9.Days Of Wine and Roses

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Henry Mancini

The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at
play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked 'nevermore' 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-oo-oo


10.Dear Heart

Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night
My dear heart, seems like a year since you've been out of my
sight
A single room, a table for one
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more

(A single room, a table for one)
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more


11.Quiet Night Of Quiet Stars(Corcovado)

Lyrics:Gene Lees
Music:Antonio Carlos Jobim

Quiet nights and quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet nights and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window lookin' on the mountains and the sea how lovely

This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a bitter tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love


This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love


12.In the Arms Of Love

Lyrics:Jay Livingston/Ray Evans
Music:Henry Mancini

If I could hold you in the arms of love tonight
I'd never let you go
As the hours go by I'd show you why we've waited for this
As two lovers whisper low

If I could feel that magic kiss your lips invite
Imagine the joys I'd know
The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight


The day has died away, let's find a hideaway
And share the promise of a new tomorrow
In the arms of love tonight

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm


13.Music To Watch Girls By

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who
watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any
street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss

Guys talk 'girl talk', it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care

It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
'What's that sound?' each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by

Guys talk 'girl talk', it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care

It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
'What's that sound?' each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who
watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene

La, la, la ,la


14.Love Story(Where Do I Begin)

Lyricist:Carl Sigman
Writer(s):Francis Lai

Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Where do I start

With her first hello
She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine
There never be another love, another time
She came into my life and made the living fine
She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things
With angels?songs , with wild imaginings
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I never lonely
With her around, who could be lonely
I reach for her hand-it always there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I l need her till the stars all burn away
And she l be there

How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers now but this much I can say
I know I l need her till the stars all burn away
And she l be there


15.A Time For Us(Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet)

Lyrics:Larry Kusik/Eddie Snyder
Music:Nino Rota

A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide

A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

For you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

A world of shining hope for you and me


16.Speak Softly Love(Love Theme From'The Godfather')

Lyrics:Larry Kusik
Music:Nino Rota

Speak softly, love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your words, the tender trembling moments start
We're in a world, our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
You came into my world with love so softly love

(instrumental interlude>

Wine-colored days warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights when we are one

Speak softly, love so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours and all becau-au-se
You came into my world with love so softly love
