Each time I look at you is like the first time
Each time youre near me the thrill is new
And there is nothing that I wouldnt do for
The rare delight of the sight of you for
The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes
Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms wont free you, my heart wont try
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms wont free you, my heart wont try

I Should Care
-artist: nat king cole
-words and music by sammy cahn, axel stordahl, and paul weston
-from the film thrill of a romance starring esther williams and van johnson
-charted in 1945 by frank sinatra (#8), martha tilton (#10), tommy dorsey (#11),

I should care, I should go around weeping
I should care, I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough, I sleep well
cept for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep
So I should care, I should let it upset me
I should care but it just doesnt get me
Maybe I wont find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do
I should care but it just doesnt get me
Maybe I wont find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do
And I do

For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again

Ill hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing youll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
The greatest thing youll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together were going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble
Theyre only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble
Theyre only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

You Wont See Me Cry
(joe falsia/stephen sinclair)
We were special people
Feeling perfect love
Protected by each other
Like a hand inside a glove
Now you say youre leavin
As you wave goodbye
You wont see me cry
You wont see me cry
Taking things for granted
Drove us both apart
Fell into a pattern
But I fell and lost the heart
Isnt it a pity
That we didnt try
But you wont see me cry
You wont see me, you wont see me cry
You wont see me cry
You wont see me, you wont see me cry
Maybe I will write you
Someday I may phone
To see if youre survivin
Living all alone
You know that I still love you
Of that I cannot lie
But you wont see me cry
You wont see me, you wont see me cry
You wont see me cry
You wont see me, you wont see me cry

The partys over
Its time to call it a day
Theyve burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
Its time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid
The partys over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the partys over
Its all over, my friend
The partys over
Its time to call it a day
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the partys over
Its all over, my friend
Its all over, my friend

Comin Right Down On Top Of Me
(myles goodwyn)
Published by goody two tunes, inc. - bmi
Is the sky really fallin
Or does it just seem that way
Wheres my reasons for livin
Have they all slipped away
Its comin right down on top of me
And gettin so I cant hardly breathe
Its comin right down on top of me
Just let me be
When something feels good
You cant leave it alone
And when good luck turns bad
It seems everything goes wrong
Baby, its comin right down on top of me
Its gettin so I cant hardly breathe
Its comin right down on top of me
It just wont let me be, wont let me be
The morning wont face the day
And how does life ever get this way
Wont somebody set me free
It just wont let me be, wont let me be
Just wont let me be, just wont let me be
It just wont let me be, it just wont let me be
It just wont let me be, set me free
Wont someone set me free (somebody set me free)
Somebody set me free (set me free, set me free)
It just wont....
It just wont let me be
It just wont let me be

There Is No Heart That Wont Heal
So youre thinking that its over
Cause he said goodbye
Left you with nothing
But the tears in your eyes
You dont know how youre gonna get through this pain
But the rain wont claim your days forever
Chorus
There is no heart that wont heal
There is no tear that wont dry
No matter how lost you feel
Remember there is a light on the other side
There is no night that wont end
No sun that wont shine again
Therell be an end to this hurt that you feel
There is no heart that wont heal
Love can lift you to the heavens
But it can let you down
And the fall aint always easy
I know what youre feeling right now
But in time you wont find a trace of this pain
You get rainbows from rain just remember
Chorus
There is no heart that wont heal
There is no heart that wont heal
There is no heart that wont heal
Hold on gotta be strong

There goes my heart, there goes the one I love
There goes the girl I wasnt worthy of
There goes my happiness, it couldnt be
There goes somebody else in place of me
Goodbye romance, it couldnt last somehow
I had my chance but its all over now
I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am i
I never thought that she could pass me by
There goes my heart and here am i

Wont Take No For An Answer
Words and music by rick nielsen
Hey wait a minute
Youre a little lost
Things keep on changing
And so does the cost
Of doin business with yourself
Dont want nobody else, no
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no from you
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no, no, no, no
Hey mister sister
Leave me alone
Today kids dont grow up
They just grow alone
Guess you know how bad I felt
When you were with somebody else, oh
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no from you
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no, no, no, no
Hey
You
Hey, hey you
I wont take no for an answer
I wont take no from you
I wont take no for an answer
I wont no
I wont no for an answer
I wont no (for an answer)

The breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody and why?
Because youre mine, because youre mine
I only know for as long as I may live
Ill only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isnt thunder, dear
Its only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because youre mine
I only know for as long as I may live
Ill only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isnt thunder, dear

Im happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me thats everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
Its just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
Youll never know how slow the moments go till Im near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
Its just the thought of you

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
