1.Am I Asking Too Much
(richards/r. dean taylor)
Through a shadowed world
I drift in emptiness and doubt
Because i push aside the love
I just can't live without
Please won't you give my crying eye
Just one more chance to see
That look upon your face
That promised love to me
Am i asking too much
Or is this love we had
Lost beyond recall
Am i asking too much
Can we start again and rise above it all
Kiss my ears with gentle words i need to hear
(baby i love you)
Let your arms reach out and
Tell me that you need me dear
(baby i need you)
'cause if you need me darling
Baby, you'll forgive
(forgive me dear)
You'll forgive me says the breath of air
I need to live
Am i asking too much
Even though i hurt you so
Don't say we're through
Am i asking too much
Won't you let me try
And make it up to you
All the precious hours we've wasted
All the bitter tears we've tasted
I need your love inside of me
Make me the girl i used to be
In your heart is there no longer room for me to live
When all i did was take, all you did was give
All the tears i made you cry
Turned your heart to stone
Has loneliness made up your mind
To live alone
Am i asking too much
Or is this love we had
Lost beyond recall
Am i asking too much
Can we start again and rise above it all
Am i asking too much
Won't you let me try
And make it up to you
Am i asking too much
Even though i hurt you so
Don't say were through
Am i asking too much
Or is this love we had
Lost beyond recall
2.A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
(mack david/al hoffman/jerry livingstone)
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
So dream...
3.A Little Breeze
(sharp)
We'll laugh 'till the tears start falling
Love 'till a new love's calling
Talk 'till it seems we've said it all before
But when my words no longer reach you
When i've nothing left to teach you
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
We'll kiss away each others sorrow
Live as though there's no tomorrow
It would we can give until there's nothing more
But when i ask and you refuse me
'cause you don't care if you should lose me
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
You know that i'll never leave you
While i know that i still please you
And perhaps our love will last forever more
But if there are tears i must cry them
And you no longer want to dry them
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
I'll let a little breeze blow me out the door
4.Can I Get A Witness
(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)
Listen everybody, especially you guys
Is it right to be left alone
While the one you love is never home?
I love too hard, my friends sometimes say
But i believe, i believe
A man should loved that way
But it hurts me so inside
To see him treat me so unkind
Somebody, somewhere tell him it's unfair
Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?
Can i get a witness?
Somebody
I want a witness
Is it right to be treated so bad
When you've given everything you had?
Even tossin' in my sleep
'cause i haven't seen my baby all week
Now, you girls do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah
Up early in the morning with him on my mind
Just to find out all night that i've been cryin'
But i believe a man's a woman's best friend
So i'm gonna stick by him till the very end
But he causes so much misery i forget how
Love is supposed to be
Somebody, somewhere, tell him it ain't fair
Can i get a witness?
I want a witness
Everybody knows, especially you girls
Love can be bad
But i have a love that's twice as bad
Now you girls do agree
That this ain't the way love's supposed to be
Let me hear, let me hear you say yeah, yeah
Can i get a witness
5.Come Into My Palace
(moore/stevenson/holland)
Come into my palace
And sit on my throne
Be my king, my love
I will give you riches
That you've never known
Be my king, my love
Come into my palace, my love
I will be your servant
Your maid or your queen
Be my king, my love
All the treasures of love i will bring

For the rest my days, my love
Come on, come on, come on
Come into my palace
And sit on my throne
Be my king, my love
I will give you riches
That you've never known
Be my king, my love
Come into my palace, my love

To you all the treasures of love i will bring
Be my king, my love

For the rest my days, my love
Come on, come on, come on
6.Don't Let True Love Die
(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)
You're slipping away from me
How can i make you see
The warmth has left your heart
It's throwing us apart
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
Open your heart to me
Make things as they used to be
Our love is falling
And it's hard to hold
It's a flaming fire
I can't control
How can i find the words to say
To keep our love from burning away
Please help me hold on to our love
Love me and i'll make you oh so happy
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
Anything you ask i'll give
As long as we shall live
I'll do anything forget my pride
'cause desperation's building up inside
Your heart has turned
To hard cold stone
That i can't touch or leave alone
Why break this aching heart of mine
Come and hold me and tenderly console me
Do anything for you
Anything you ask me too
All of my love i'll give
Just give us a chance to live
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
Open your heart to me
Let things be as they used to be
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
Anything you ask i'll give
As long as we shall live
Don't let true love die
Don't let it pass us by
7.Fancy Passes
(r. miller/w. o'malley/a. vandenberg)
Money isn't everything
As anyone who's rich
It can buy pain and misery
Or grief
Though money isn't everything
I have a pauper's itch
So though i crave a brave
Yes
I'll take the chief!
He bought me a cat
Siamese, imagine that
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me
All those fine and fancy passes
Oh joy, now i've got
Sixty feet of brand new yacht
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me
All those fine and fancy passes
He owns new york or spain
But i don't know which
He got fat in uptown manhattan
Poor cinderella's got her a fella who's rich
Every penny, he's worth a plenty
He owns united airlines
That as well?
He owns receding hairlines
Oh, well!
He's not so hip
Or smart as a whip
But healthy, wise and wealthy
He bought me a summer place
Somewhere out in outer space
He keeps making
Fancy passes at me
What a man you've got, diane
Did he buy you a mink?
Mmmm..passion pink
And a cadi too?
Mmmm, baby blue
You're speaking of?
My baby love!
Your romeo?
My daddy dough!
I love him a lot
How much has he got?
He's got a plot of ground
He found over oil
Oh, my how chic we are
He bought new jersey
So he could call me his girl
Oh, man, a feat we are!
Chocolate excites my tummy
Ooh
He bought me a firm called yummy
So
He's one of those gents
With good bizness cents
And quarters, half's and dollars
Ding, dong, ain't it swell
They just delivered the liberty bell
How sad all those philadelphians will be
I'll get half of what he owns
To keep up with mrs. l. b. jones
And if he keeps making fancy passes
I'll start holding evening classes
I'll give him sugar and molasses
And the life, i live
I'll live luxuriously
From those late and evening classes
That sugar and molasses
Those fine and fancy passes at me
Oooweee
My honey
Yeah!
8.I'm The Exception To The Rule
(whitfield/strong)
Each day you've got someone new
A new heart to break
And leave feeling blue
For you're a handsome guy
Girls just can't pass you by
But i can, my friend
I'm the exception to the rule
I know you think i'm just acting the part
Of the girl with the cold, cold heart
And it won't take long
For you to capture me
With your innocent but meaningful plea
But you won't capture me
I'm the exception to the rule
You tell me
Darling that's where you're wrong
That your love for me is oh so strong
That you will soon, very soon
Make me give in
I know that nine girls out of every ten
Wants you to be their man
But there i am again
That one in ten
So it's useless
For you to try and change me
Because i won't give in, my friend
You could fool all the girls
With your lies
About you being so sweet and kind
But oh no, not me
I'm the exception to the rule
Give it up
I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
I'm the exception to the rule
Give it up
I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
The exception to the rule
Give it up
I'm the one you can't fool
I'm the one
I'm the one you can't fool
9.I've Got No Strings
(ned washington/leigh harline)
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now i'm free
There are no strings on me
I've got no strings so i have fun
And i'm not tied to anyone
How i love my liberty
There are no strings on me
Hi-ho the me-ri-o
I'm as happy as can be
And i want the world to know
Nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now i'm free
There are no strings on me
Why does the gay little dicky bird sing
What put the zing in a butterfly's wing
What's the reason for the smile of a troubadour?
Why does the breeze have a barrel of fun?
Even the bee who's a son of a gun
All because they're free
And stringless the same as me
I've got no strings to hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings but now i'm free
There are no strings on me
I'm as happy as can be
Nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings so i have fun
And i'm not tied to anyone
How i love my liberty
There are no strings on me
There ain't no strings on me
There are no strings on me
10.It's Going All The Way(To True True Love)
(b. verdi/j. bristol/h. fuqua/s. demell)
Goodbye loneliness, going on to happiness
Along i faced your frowning face
And held your false embrace
My sighs, my longing nights
Baby my doubts and fears
Then love just came in on me
And wiped away my tears
And it won't stop, won't stop at just hugging
And it won't stop, won't stop at just kissing
And it won't stop, won't stop at just squeezing
Going all the way to true, true love, ooh real true love
And day by day you watched me wait on my lonely cloud
But it was just a matter of faith
It's love, it's no mistake
For things that have passed, honey, our things to come
When faith took my broken heart and mended it with love
And it won't stop, won't stop at just hugging
And it won't stop, won't stop at just kissing
And it won't stop, won't stop at just squeezing
Going all the way to true, true love, ooh real true love soulful
love
So long empty room, no more night with gloom
For now a precious love i share with tender love and care
What lips i have missed, what arms i've waited for
But no more loneliness, it's happiness for sure
And it won't stop, won't stop at just hugging
And it won't stop, won't stop at just kissing
And it won't stop, won't stop at just squeezing
Going all the way to true, true love, ooh real true love
Hey now, it's going all the way to true, true love
11.Little Miss Loser
(r. miller/r. jacques/w. vandenberg)
Set the table
Supper's done
Candlelight and wine for one
'cause little miss loser
Lost again
Christmas eve
You waited for
But all your dreams stayed
In the store, yes
Little miss loser
Lost again
Aren't you the same child
Who had those tears in your eyes
Why were you the only kid in town
Who bought a box of cracker jacks
And didn't get a prize
Even then the world put you down
Cinderella, found her knight
Love protected miss snow white while
Prince charming where have you been
Come on in
And help little miss loser win
12.Mr. Blues
(william 'smokey' robinson)
Mr. blues
You are my only companion
Since my baby's gone
Hey, mr. blues
You are my lonely companion
Since my baby's gone
How i wish you would go
Away and leave me
Oh, yeah
But i know if you do
I'll be all alone
'cause you're the only guy
In this whole wide world
That i can call my own
Hey, mr. blues
Why did i take you and stay with me
But you've been here every day with me
Since my baby's gone
Oh, mr. blues
Although i don't want to hurt you
I know i have to desert you
If my baby comes
If my baby comes
If my baby comes
Hey, mr. blues
13.Our Day Will Come
(bob hilliard/mort garson)
Our day will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
No one can tell me that i'm to young to know
Young to know
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me
Our day will come
If we just wait a while
No tears for us
Face life and wear a smile
Our dreams have magic because
We'll always stay in love this way
Our day will come
Our day will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
No one can tell me that i'm to young to know
(young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me
Our day will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
Our dreams have magic because
We'll always stay in love this way
Our day will come
Our day will come
Our day will come
14.Save Me A Star
(gordy/gordy/bradford)
You're building a private heaven
You're reaching out so far
When you reach your goal
With joys untold
At least
Save me star
When you finish
Your private heaven
Think of me
Wherever you are
Remember how true
I was to you
And at least won't you
Save me star
Though i'd hate to see you go
A kiss for luck and fame
But if you should stumble
And your heaven tumble
I'll welcome you home again
When you finish your private heaven
Though it be near or far
Once again i'll call to say
At least won't you
Save me a star
Oh, save me a star
15.Silent Night
(joseph mobe/franx gurber)
Silent night
Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
'round you virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
16.Slow Down
(broadnax/paul)
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
I've got a story to tell
About a girl i know well
She loved this guy
Heaven knows why
How could she love him
Everytime this guy she'd see
With another girl he'd be
He didn't even notice
She was crying
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
She'd choose her clothes with care
She'd curl and set her hair
And hope someday, that he'd look her way
He was too busy
He was always on the run
Breaking hearts and havin' fun
He couldn't see she was the one that needed him
Each night she'd cry in fear
That he would never hear
Her heart and soul cry out
I know it's love beyond a doubt
By now you all must see
This girl i know is me
Though i feel like crying
I won't stop trying to make him love me
I've shown you a part of my soul
But many things i've left untold
Until he's mine to have and hold
Forever
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
I need your arms around me tight, baby
Slow down
Slow down, baby
17.Stormy
(buie/cobb)
You were the sunshine baby
Whenever you smile
But i call you stormy today
All of a sudden that old rains fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away
Stormy, ooh stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Yesterday's love was like the warm summer breeze
But like the weather, you change
Now things are dreary baby
And it's windy and cold
And i stand alone in the rain
Calling your name
Ooh stormy, ooh stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Bring 'em back, bring 'em back
Ooh stormy, ooh stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Bring 'em back, bring 'em back
Bring back that sunny day
Stormy, stormy
18.Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(richard sherman/robert sherman)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Because i was afraid to speak
When i was just a lassy
My father gave me nose a tweak
And told me i was sassy
But then one day i learned a word
That saved me aching nose
The biggest word i ever heard
And this is how it goes:
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word
And then you've got a lot to say
But better use it carefully
Or it can change your life
One night i said it to me guy
And now i am his wife!
She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
No matter how you use this word
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Expialic
19.Sweet Thing
20.The Ballad Of Davy Crocket
(tom blackburn/george bruns)
He was born on a mountain top in tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
Killed himself a bear when he was only three
Davy, davy crocket
King of the wild fronteer
He was a cardfan man
His life was worthy
He had love in his hands
And his hands were dirty
And the sky turned to fire
On the day of his birth
Now he lost his love and his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose himself in the forest tall
But answered instead his country's call
Davy, davy crocket
King of the wild fronteer
He was a mighty big man
In a mighty big land
Had a mighty big heart
And mighty big hand
When his country called
He met the demand
Fought single-handed through the injun war
Till the creeks was swept and peace was in store
And while he was handlin this risky chore
Made himself a legend forevermore
Davy, davy crocket
King of the wild fronteer
At night he walked to the woods alone
Winding his beard
Way back home
A hero's curse, a man alone
Looking for a place where the air smells clean
Where the tree is tall and the grass is green
Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream
And teemin' woods is a hunter's dream
Hey, davy, davy crocket
King of the wild fronteer
He was a big, big man
Davy, davy crocket
King of the wild fronteer
He sure loved those woods
Davy, davy crocket
King of the wild fronteer
Mmm, davy!
21.The Christmas Song
(mel torme/robert wells)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack frost nipping at your nose
Yuletidecarols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows, a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mothers child is gonna spy
To see if reindeers really know how to fly
And so i'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry christmas, merry christmas
Merry christmas to you
22.The Land Of Make Believe
(r. miller/a. miller)
In the land of make believe
Each boy and girl receive
A bag of wishes and a star
In the world of fantasy
Your heart stays young and free
And no one cares how old you are
Every girl's a princess
All her skies are blue
Every boy prince charming
All their dreams come true
And in the land of make believe
Your heart remains naive
And no one ever says goodbye
So if somewhere you've misplaced
Those rainbows you once chased
Believe and close your eyes
And you'll find the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Each boy and girl receive
A bag of wishes and a star
In the world of fantasy
Your heart stays young and free
And no one cares how old you are
Every girl's a princess
All her skies are blue
Every boy prince charming
All their dreams come true
And in the land of make believe
Your heart remains naive
And no one ever says goodbye
So if somewhere you've misplaced
Those rainbows you once chased
Believe and close your eyes
And you'll find the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Close your eyes
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Close your eyes
23.Too Hurt Too Cry, Too Much In Love Too Say Goodbye
(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)
It hurt me so bad
To see you cross the floor
Kissing her
You didn't see me
But i saw you and
It hurt me so
It hurt me so bad
When i tried to cry
To ease my hurt inside
But i tried in vain
'cause the tears never came
I'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
I tried telling myself
That you loved me and no one else
But each time i look across the floor
I'm just not sure
When i saw you hold her tight
With all my mind i tried to cry
To ease this hurt
This hurt inside
But i'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
Although you hurt me so
I love you too much to let you go
And when you take me home
You'll never know
I saw you kissing her
I'll go on like nothing has happened instead
Some things are better unsaid
But if could cry
I wouldn't feel so sad
But i'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
But i'm too hurt to cry
And too much in love to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
24.Too Much A Little Too Soon
(robinson/rogers/tarplin/moore)
Too much a little too soon
That's how i let myself go
Too much a little too soon
But how was i to know
You would flirt and win my love
And then you'd hurt me
Take my heart and tear it apart
And then desert me
All my friends tried to tell me
I should hesitate
But i was blind and couldn't see
Why i should have to wait
I gave you all the love that i had
But now i know why i'm so sad
'cause i gave you
Too much a little too soon
That's how i gave you my love
Too much a little too soon
'cause you were not worthy of
All the efforts i put forth
To keep you satisfied
The excuses i accepted
All the times you lied
The way that i loved you
Was the only way i could
I gave you my all and all
But that's not always good
I thought you were really okay
So i let you steal my heart away
I really gave you
Too much a little too soon
I should have kept some reserve
Too much a little too soon
That much you did not deserve
I thought you were really okay
So i let you steal my heart away
I really gave you
Too much a little too soon
I should have kept some reserve
Too much a little too soon
One more time
That much you did not deserve
Too much a little too soon
I should have kept some reserve
Too much a little too soon
Yeah, yeah, yeah
25.Toyland
(glen mcdonough/victor herbert)
Within the magic kingdom
There's a lot of wonderful and beautiful places
But the most beautiful and exciting of them all
Is where the little ones find their greatest happiness
In toyland
Toyland
Ooh, toyland, toyland
Dear little girl and boyland
While you dwell within it
You are ever happy then
Childhood's toyland
Wonderful world of joyland
Wouldn't it be fine
If we could stay there forever more
Toyland, toyland
We're on our way to toyland
Toyland, toyland
We're on our way to toyland
Don't know when we'll get there
But we know there's fun in store
Ooh, toyland, toyland
Wonderful girl and boyland
Once you leave it's borders
You can never return again
26.Whistle While You Work
(larry morey/frank churchill)
When the work begins to pile up
And your temper starts to rile up
That's the time a fellow needs a song
Doctor, banker, butcher, baker
You can be a merry maker
If you keep on singing all day long
If you're hanging in suspense from eight 'till five
And you wanna keep the sense of humour alive
Just whistle while you work
Put on that grin and start right in
To whistle loud and long
Just hum a merry tune
Do your best, then take a rest
And sing yourself a song
When there's too much to do
Don't let it bother you
Forget your troubles
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee
And whistle while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and startin' whistle while you work
Hey mary, come on, you look a little tired
I want you to try this
Ok
Golly, i'm chewin' bubblegum?
Hey flo, come on it's your turn
Don't, come on
No, darling, i'm too busy digging this drummer
When there's too much to do
Don't let it bother you
Forget your troubles
Try to be just like a cheerful chick-a-dee
Hey, whistle while you work
Come on get smart, tune up and start to whistle while you
Hey flo come on your turn
Mary?
Come on florence, i'll teach you
