1.A Very Precious Love
A Very Precious Love
Doris Day
From the Warner Bros. Picture 'Marjorie Morningstar'
Ev'ry show must have a song
Most ev'ryone agrees
For what else could the ingenue
and the juvenile reprise
And so I wrote a random note,
a harmony or two
And when it came to add the words
I tried describing you
A very precious love
Is what you are to me
A stairway to a star
A night in Shangril？of ecstasy
Lanterns of gold
Lanterns of blue
Twinkle in the shadows
While I dance with you
An echo in the wind
Across the summer lake
Is sayin' you should know
that lanterns lose their glow
and hearts can break
So hold me close my darling
then kiss me tenderly
And give your precious love
Your very precious love to me
2.China Doll
China Doll
The Ames Brothers
(Cindy Walker)
Sometimes I go down
To old Chinatown
And just walk around
Just wander around
Where amber lights gleam
And blue shadows fall
Just dream an old dream
Of my China doll
Her silk Chinese coat (silk Chinese coat)
Her little blue pants (little blue pants)
Coral pink lips (coral pink lips)
And tiny pale hands
Oh my China doll
My lonely tears fall
I'll never forget you, never forget you
My China doll
Sometimes I go down
And just hang around
And just hang around
A boat China bound
Oh my China doll
My lonely tears fall
I'll never forget you, never forget you
My China doll
(My China doll)

3.It Only Hurts For A Little While
It Only Hurts For a Little While
The Ames Brothers
(words by Mack David; music by Fred Spielman)
Best selling record by The Ames Brothers (RCA Victor); revised
in 1978 by
Margo Smith (Warner Bros.)
(verse)
It's all over town that we've parted,
And ev'ryone knows that we're through;
They see me alone broken hearted
Crying the blues for you.
(refrain)
It only hurts for a little while,
That's what they tell me,
That's what they say.
It only hurts for a little while,
Then all your heartaches will pass away.
It's so easy to be smart
With somebody else's heart,
But I don't know how to start forgetting you,
What can I do？
It only hurts for a little while
That's what they tell me,
'Just wait and see.'
But I will hurt till you come back to me.
From： Gloria 'Montcomags'
4.Melodie D'amour (melody Of Love)
Melodie d'Amour
The Ames Brothers
Melodie d'amour, take this song to my lover
shoo shoo little bird, go and find my love
melodie d'amour, serenade at her window
shoo shoo little bird, sing my song of love
oh tell her I will wait, if she names a date
tell her that I care, more than I can bear
for when we are apart, how it hurts my heart
so fly oh fly away and say that I hope and pray
this lovers melody will bring her back to me
melodie d'amour, take this song to my lover
shoo shoo little bird, go and find my love
melodie d'amour, serenade at her window
shoo shoo little bird, tell her of my love
Oh tell her how I yearn, long for her return
say I miss her so, more than she could know
for when we are apart, how it hurts my heart
so fly oh fly away and say that I hope and pray
this lover's melody will bring her back to me
melodie d'amour, serenade at her window
shoo shoo little bird, tell her of my love.
5.No Moon At All
No Moon At All
-
Artist：Robert Goulet as sung on 'The Wonderful World Of Love'
- Columbia CS 8793
- charted by The Ames Brothers with Les Brown at # 21 in 1953
- Words and Music by R. Evans and D. Mann
No moon at all, what a night
Even lightnin' bugs have dimmed their lights
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all
Don't make a sound, it's so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
And there's no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all way up above
This is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all up above
Aww, this is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Aww, there's no moon at all
There is no moon at all
No moon at all

7.The Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane
Lyricist：Roy Bennett, Sid Tepper
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Has hit the town like a bomb
The back-fence gossip ain't been this good
Since Mabel ran off with Tom
Our town was peaceful and quiet
Before she came on the scene
The lady has started a riot
Disturbin' the suburban routine
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Has the town in a whirl
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Me-oh, my-oh, what a girl
You should see how she carries on
With her admirers galore
She must be givin' them quite a thrill
The way they flock to her door
She throws those come-hither glances
At every Tom, Dick, and Joe
When offered some liquid refreshment
The lady never never says, 'No'
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Has the town in a whirl
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Me-oh, my-oh, what a girl
The things they're trying to pin on her
Won't hold much water, for sure
Beneath the powder and fancy lace
There beats a heart sweet and pure
She just needs someone to change her
And she'll be nice as can be
If you're in the neighborhood, stranger
You're welcome to drop in and see
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
So delightful to hold
The naughty lady of Shady Lane
So delectable
Quite respectable
And she's only nine days old
8.You You You
Lyricist：Tetos Demey, Milton Leeds, Fred Wise
You, you, you
I'm in love with you, you, you
I could be so true, true, true
To someone like you, you, you
Do, do, do
What you oughta do, do, do
Take me in you arms, please do
Let me cling to you, you, you
We were meant for each other
Sure as heavens above
We were meant for each other
To have, to hold and to love
You, you, you
There's no one like you, you, you
You could make my dreams come true
If you say you love me too
We were meant for each other
Sure as heavens above
We were meant for each other
To have, to hold and to love
You, you, you
There's no one like you, you, you
You could make my dreams come true
If you say you love me too
9.I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover
Lyricist：Mort Dixon, Harry Woods
I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before
One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain
Third is the roses that grow in the lane
No need explaining, the one remaining
Is somebody I adore
I'm looking over a four-leaf clover
That I overlooked before
