5.It May Sound Silly
Lyricist:Ivory Joe Hunter
It may sound silly for me to say this
After the way you broke my heart
But I still love you although we are apart
It may sound silly to say I miss you
I must confess that this is true
I want you only 'cause no one else will do
The day we quarreled and you left me
Before you walked out through the door
I wanted to tell you how much I would miss you
But my pride wouldn't let me tell you so
It may sound silly but if you phone me
And ask forgiveness for doin' me wrong
It may sound silly but I'd be waiting with open arms
Oh yes it may sound silly but if you phone me
And ask forgiveness for doin' me wrong
It may sound silly but I'd be waiting with open arms
6.Just for Old Time's Sake
Lyricist:Hank Hunter, Jack Keller
Oh darling, just for old times sake
Turn back the hands of time
Pretend that you're still mine
Just for old times sake
Although I know you said goodbye to me
I can't help thinking how it used to be
I guess I'll always be in love with you
I can't forget the things we used to do
Oh darling, just for old times sake
Turn back the hands of time
Pretend that you're still mine
Just for old times sake
Well I know that if once more we share a kiss
You'll realize that it's a thrill you miss
That old time feeling deep within your heart
Would make you give our love a brand new start
Oh darling, just for old times sake
Turn back the hands of time
Pretend that you're still mine
Just for old times sake
Just for old times sake
Just for old times sake

May you always walk in sunshine
Slumber warm when night winds blow
May you always live with laughter
For a smile becomes you so
May good fortune find your doorway
May the bluebird sing your song
May no trouble travel your way
May no worry stay too long
May your heartaches be forgotten
May no tears be spilled
May old acquaintance be remembered
And your cup of kindness filled
And may always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love
As much as I love you

May old acquaintance be remembered
And your cup of kindness filled
And may always be a dreamer
May your wildest dream come true
May you find someone to love

The McGuire Sisters
Toots Camarata / Bob Russell
You ain't gonna bother me no more
Nohow
Love just goes so far
No more
Woke up this morining and found
I didn't care for you no more
Nohow
Never felt so good before
You're down to my size
It's over and done
So honey, step down from your throne
That look in your eyes
Don't bother me none
Can take or leave you alone
From my window
Skys ain't grey nomore
Not now
Here's the day
That I've been waiting for
Got only one heart
One heart with no spares
Must save it for loving
Somebody who cares
So you ain't gonna bother me
No more, no more
9.Picnic
Lyricist:Steve Allen, George Dunning
On a picnic morning
Without a warning
I looked at you
And somehow I knew
On a day for singing
My heart went winging
A picnic grove
Was our rendezvous
You and I in the sunshine
We strolled the fields and farms
At the last light of evening
I held you in my arms
Now when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall
Picnic time with you
Now when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall
Picnic time with you

Love forever true
For you and I have a guardian angel
On high with nothing to do
But to give to you and to give to me
Love forever true
My love is forever true

12.Love and Marriage
Lyricist:Sammy Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none
You can't have one without the other
Love, love, love, love and marriage
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Love and, and, no you can't have one, you can't have none
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage

15.He
Lyricist:Richard Mullan, Jack Richards
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights ev'ry star that makes the darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner calls and always finds him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, 'I forgive'
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, 'I forgive'
He forgives
16.Something's Gotta Give
Lyricist:Johnny Mercer
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet as sure as you live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna be kissed
So en garde who knows what the fates have in store
From their vast mysterious sky
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore
But how long can anyone try?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night
We'll find out as sure as we live
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give
Something's gotta give, something's gotta, something's gotta
give
17.Volare
Lyricist:Francesco Migliacci, Domenico Modugno, Mitchell Parish
Volare, oh, oh
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let's fly way up to the cloud
Away from the maddening crowd
We can sing in the glow of
A star that I know of whew
Lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion
And all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather
A rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh, oh
Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Sometimes the world is a
Valley of heartaches and tears
And in the hustle and bustle
No sunshine appears
But you and I have our love
Always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave
All the shadows behind us
Volare, oh, oh
(Volare)
(Oh, volare, oh, oh)
Cantare
(Cantare)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Oh, cantare, oh, oh)
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
My happy heart sings
Volare, oh, oh

Shufflin', shufflin', shufflin' down
Ramblin', scramblin', headin' for town
Hustlin', bustlin', buzzin' around
Happily awaitin' at the station
Look at that train number 709
