1.Chances Are

Lyrics:Al Stillman
Music:Robert Allen

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you

Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

BRIDGE
In the magic of moonlight when I sigh, 'Hold me close, dear'
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my
eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good


Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my
eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

The chances are your chances are awfully good


2.It's Not For Me To Say

Lyrics:Al Stillman
Music:Robert Allen

It's not for me to say you love me
It's not for me to say you'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last

As far as I can see this is heaven
And speaking just for me, it's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say


And speaking just for me, it's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow with every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say


3.Misty

Look at me,
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud
I can't understand,
I get misty just holding your hand.

Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear,
I get misty the moment you're near

You can say that you're leading me on
But it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.

On my own,
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left,
My hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.


4.Wild Is the Wind

Written:Dimitri Tiomkin/Ned Washington

Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind

Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind

You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me, and with your kiss the world begins
You're Spring to me, all things to me
You're life itself

Like a leaf clings to a tree
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind, the wind
Wild is my love for you


5.Wonderful! Wonderful!

Lyrics:Ben Raleigh
Music:Sherman Edwards

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill
And we gaze at the earth and the sky
I turn to you and you melt in my arms
There we are, darling, only you and I
What a moment to share
It's wonderful, wonderful
Oh, so wonderful, my love

The world is full of wond'rous things it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you

Some quiet ev'ning I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
'It's wonderful, wonderful'
'Oh, so wonderful, my love'

And I say to myself
'It's wonderful, wonderful'
'Oh, so wonderful, my love'


6.Maria


7.The Twelfth Of Never

Written:Paul Francis Webster/Jerry Livingston

You ask me how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you

Hold me close, never let me go
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time

Until the Twelfth of Never and that's a long, long time


8.Small World

Lyrics:Stephen Sondheim
Music:Jule Styne

Funny, you're a stranger who's come here
Come from another town
Funny, I'm a stranger myself here
Small world, isn't it?

Funny, you're a girl who goes trav'lin'
Rather than settlin' down
Funny, 'cause I'd love to go trav'lin'
Small world, isn't it?

We have so much in common it's a phenomenon
We could pool our resources by joining forces from now on

Lucky, you're a girl who likes children
That's an important sign
Lucky, 'cause I'd love to have children
Small world, isn't it?

Funny, isn't it?
Small and funny and fine


Lucky, 'cause I'd love to have children
Small world, isn't it?

Funny, isn't it?
Small and funny and fine


9.Evergreen(Love Theme From'A Star Is Born')

Written:Paul Williams/Barbra Streisand

Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you
Like a rose under the April snow
I was always certain love would grow
Love, ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two
You and I will
make each night the first
Everyday a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us
'Cause we have the brightest love
Two lights that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sun
Time, we've learned to sail above
Time, won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever evergreen


10.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


11.What Will Mary Say

Lyrics:Paul Vance/Eddie Snyder
Music:Paul Vance/Eddie Snyder

I must be going (don't go)
My heart is showing (don't go)
I better hurry awa-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

Your lips are thrilling
My arms are willing
I know that I shouldn't stay-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

What would I do if she should need me
And find me kissing you?
She's always trusted me completely
Her poor heart would bre-ea-eak in two

I must be going (don't go)
My heart is showing (don't go)
I better hurry awa-ay-ay-ay-ay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

(Don't go)
(Don't go)


12.When Sunny Gets Blue

Lyrics:Jack Segal
Music:Marvin Fisher

When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy
Then the rain begins to fall
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, love is gone so what can matter?
No sweet lovin' man comes to call

When Sunny gets blue, she breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the trees
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin' like some violins are
playin'
Weird and haunting melodies

People used to love to-o-o hear her laugh, see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair she's lost her smile, changed her style
Somehow she's not the same

But mem'ries will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue

Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue


13.A Certain Smile

Lyrics:Paul Francis Webster
Music:Sammy Fain

A certain smile, a certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart on a merry chase
A fleeting glance can say so many lovely things
Suddenly you know why my heart sings

You love awhile and when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside with a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again


But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain
Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again


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.Didn't We?

Lyrics:Jimmy Webb
Music:Jimmy Webb

This time we almost made the pieces fit, didn't we?
This time we almost some sense of it, didn't we?
This time I have the answer right here in my hand,
Then I touched it, and it has turned to sand.

This time we almost sang the song in tune, didn't we?
This time we almost made it to the moon, didn't we?
This time, we almost made (almost made) a poem rhyme
And this time we almost made that long hard climb.
Didn't we almost make it this time... this time.


16.Gina

Lyrics:Paul Vance/Leon Carr
Music:Paul Vance/Leon Carr

Gina, Gina, I kissed you once and then
I felt so wonderful, so very wonderful
Let's do it over again

Gina (Gina), Gina (Gina), I can't remember when
I've ever felt a kiss that made me feel like this
Let's do it over again

Look at you, oh, look at you
So warm, so sweet, so shy
Look at me, oh, look at me
I can't believe that I'm such a lucky guy

To have Gina, Gina all for my very own
It's much too wonderful, so very wonderful
To know that Gina is mine alone


Oh, look at you, oh, look at you
So warm, so sweet, so shy
Look at me, oh, look at me
I can't believe that I'm such a lucky guy

To have Gina (Gina), Gina (Gina) all for my very own
It's much too wonderful, so very wonderful
To know that Gina is mine (Gina is mine)
Gina is mine alone
