A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sittin' there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there,
To hold you tight
An' no one there
You can kiss goodnight . . .

"Accentuate The Positive"

(ac-cent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, an' latch on!)

You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,

(All at once you know)
(All at once you know)

You start to light her cigarette
And all at once you love her
You've scarcely talked
You've scarcely met
But all at once you love her

And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived 'til now
I tell them I don't know

I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again

I`ve got a yearning to caress you,
One thought keeps burning in my soul,
A hungry yearning to possess you,
It`s far beyond control!

I want your love for now, forever,
I want you heart and soul!

Bali ha'I may call you
Any night, any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
"Come away, come away"
Bali ha'I will whisper
On the wind of the sea
"Here am I, your special island"
"Come to me, come to me"

"Bali Ha'i"

Bali Ha'i may call you, any night, any day
In your heart, you'll hear it call you
Come away, come away

Bali Ha'i will whisper on the wind of the sea
Here am I your special island

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by

Wise men say, only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you.

Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.

Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Never let it fade away!
Catch a falling star an’ put it in your pocket,
Save it for a rainy day!

For love may come an' tap you on the shoulder,
Some star-less night!
Just in case you feel you wanna’ hold her,

CATERINASchuman / Bower

Caa-taa-reena, O' Ho Ho!
When we kiss, Purdy Miss, Purdy Miss,
I'm in ecstasy! ( Si, Si, Si Si! )

Caterina, O' Ho, Ho Ho! ( O’ Ho, Ho Ho! )
But when we kiss, Purdy Miss, Purdy Miss,

Where the jungle trees are tall
Grows a flower sweet to see
It's a purdy flower they call "Chincherinchee!"

There a boy sang all day long
To a maiden tenderly
And he called her in his song "Chincherinchee!"

Christmas bells in the steeple,
Ringing out on Christmas morn,
But where are all the people,
Where has everybody gone ?

They're all busy with their presents,
Snug an' warm behind their doors,
Thinkin' no one was forgotten,

Why do birds suddenly appear,
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .

Why do stars fall down from the sky,
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .

It’s always fair weather,
when hep cats get together!
And every time they meet,
here’s the way you’ll hear them greet ( greet! )
A hubba-hubba-hubba Hello Dad!

Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got back!
Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, let’s shoot some breeze!

Said the night wind to the little lamb:
Do you see what I see?
'Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star
Dancing in the night,
|: With a tail as big as a kite. :|

Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t let the moon break your heart!
Love blooms at night,
In daylight it dies,
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t keep your heart from me,
For some day I’ll return,
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love!

There's a song in the air,
But the fair senorita
Doesn't seem to care
For the song in the air.
So I'll sing to my mule
If you're sure she won't think that
I am just a fool
Serenading a mule.

Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
I get a heart full of butterflies, lookin' into your dreamy eyes
Dream on ( Dream on! ) little dreamer dreamer on!

Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream about a love so true, dream about how I love you

É lei la donna mia, é lei
Che non potró lasciare mai
Perché ora lo so
Per l'eternitá il nostro amore durerá.

É lei la donna mia, é lei
E a tutto il mondo grideró
Che tutta la mia vita, la mia felicitá

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail,
Yes, I would,
If I could,
I surely would . . . hmm

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail,
Yes, I would,
If I only could,

Everybody is lookin' for an answer,
Now that you've tried your way,
Why don't you try my way?

Everybody is lookin' for a sunrise,
Peace of mind,
Is surely hard to find!

Feelings, nuthin' more than feelings,
Tryin' to forget my,
Feelings of love . . .

Teardrops, rollin' down on my face,
Tryin' to forget my,
Feelings of love . . .

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops

Forever and ever,
My heart will be true!
Sweetheart, forever,
I'll wait for you!

We both made a promise,
That we'd never part,
Let's seal it with a kiss,

I'm in love with a dolly named 'Glendora'
She works in the window of a big department stor-a!
Eyes of blue, hair like gold,
Never been young, but she'll never get old . . .
Oh Glendora . . . I wanna see more of you!

O' Glendora . . . O' Glendora . . .
O' Glendora . . . I wanna see more of you!

They were standing in a crowded station,
So unaware,
Of all the people there!
I didn't mean to hear their conversation,
But anyone could tell,
It was their last farewell!

Good-bye Sue,

Listen, shh
Listen, there, it's playing again
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
Are sung by the haunted wind

Down in Nualo, Laredo
On the border of ol' Mexico
There's a legend they tell of a cowboy

In the night,
Though we're apart
There's a ghost of you
Within my haunted heart . . .

Ghost of you,
My last romance,
Lips that laughed,

Hello, young lovers, whoever you are,
I hope your troubles are few,
All my good wishes go with you tonight,
I've been in love like you.

Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star,
Be brave, an' faithful, an' true,
Cling very close to each other tonight,

When I think of Tom
I think about a night
When the earth smelled of summer
And the sky was streaked with white
And the soft mist of England
Was sleeping on a hill

I remember this

Oh! There’s no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam,
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze,
For the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home!

I met a man who lives in Tennessee,
and he was heading for,
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie!

Oh, hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
It's so new to me, what you do to me
Hot diggity, dog ziggity, boom what you do to me
When you're holding me tight

Never dreamed anybody could kiss thattaway
Bring me bliss thattaway, what a kiss thattaway
What a wonderful feelin' to feel thattaway

I believe, for every drop of rain that falls,
A flower grows...

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
A candle glows...

I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come, to show the way,

( I Know, I know, oh yes, I know! )

I know what it means
to be lost in the dark!
I know what it means
to be tossed by the storm!

I have walked alone

I have heard the wild bird's sing
So I know what "freedom" is
I have looked into the eyes of a child
So I know what "faith" is
I have seen a rainbow
So I know what "beauty" is
I have planted a tree
So I know what "hope" is

I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it, baby!

Love me too an' you won't regret it,
Love me too an' you won't regret it,
Love me too an' you won't regret it, baby!

I thought about walkin'
Thought about talkin'
Thought about singin'
Singin' the blues!

Thought about cryin'
Once I even thought of dyin'
But baby, most of all,

I wanna give,
I wanna give my love to you completely,
I beg of you,
I beg of you to listen to my heart!

I've never prayed like this before,
And i'm askin' you not to close the door,
For i can tame the wind and smooth the waters,

I'll be home for Christmas
you can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
and presents on the tree!

Christmas Eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas

At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
and to find it how often I've tried
but my life is a race, just a wild goose chase
and my dreams have all been denied!

Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame?

and I were the only boy!

Nothing else would matter in the world today

we could go on loving in the same old way!

A garden of Eden just made for two

It's impossible

Tell the sun to leave the sky
It's just impossible
It's impossible

Ask a baby not to cry
It's just impossible

Oh! It's a good day, for singin' a song,
An' it's a good day for movin' along,
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything go wrong?
A good day from mornin' 'till night!

Yes it's a good day, ( it's a lovely day for shinin' ) for shinin' your shoes
An' it's a good day ( if you wan' a silver linin' ) for losin' the blues
( You got . . . ) Everything t' gain ( everythin' t' gain and nuthin' ) and nuthin' t' lose,

It's impossible to tell the sun to leave the sky,
It's just impossible.
It's impossible to ask a baby not to cry,
It's just impossible.
Can I hold you closer to me
And not feel you going through me,
But the second that I never think of you?
Oh, how impossible.

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine.

As the years disappear in the twilight of time
With a sigh we will fondly recall
All the plans that we made, how we kissed unafraid

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride

Caa-taa-reena, O’ Ho Ho!
When we kiss, Purdy Miss, Purdy Miss,
I’m in ecstasy! ( Si, Si, Si Si! )

Caterina, O’ Ho, Ho Ho! ( O’ Ho, Ho Ho! )
But when we kiss, Purdy Miss, Purdy Miss,
Are you thinkin’ of me? ( Are you thinkin’ of me? )

I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style.
And so I came to see her and listen for a while.
And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes.

Strumming my pain with her fingers,
singing my life with her words,
killing me softly with her song,
killing me softly with her song,

I heard she sang a good song,
I heard she had a style.
And so I came to see her
And listen for a while.
And there she was this young girl,
A stranger to my eyes.

Strumming my pain with her fingers,

(Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo)
(Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo)
(Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo)
(Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo)

Oh, talk to me baby, whisper in my ear
Talk to me baby, whisper in my ear
Come a little closer, don't have no fear

(This is the story of Lili Marlene,
Doo, doo, doo doo, doo!)

Would you like to hear the story,
Of a girl that many soldiers know?
It's a tale of love in all it's glory,
They tell when the lights are soft an' low!

Linda, Linda
Morning noon an' night I find
Linda's always on my mind

When I go to sleep,
I never count sheep,
I count all the charms about Linda!

Perry Como - Love Makes The World Go 'Round (1964)

( Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah! ) Yes!

There’s been a lot of talk about the game of love,
It’s what everybody, everywhere, is thinking of!
The love bug’s busy as he can be,
And I gotta a funny feeling that he just bit me!

Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin',
Magic, moments,
Memories we've been sharin'. . .

I'll never forget the moment we kissed,
The night of the hayride,
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,

Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin’,
Magic, moments,
Memories we’ve been sharin’ . . .

I’ll never forget the moment we kissed,
The night of the hayride,
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,

Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style, some day

Oh dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I?m goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see

Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style, some day

Oh dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I?m goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I’m crossing you in style, some day,
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way,
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There’s such a lot of world to see,
We’re after the same rainbows end,
Waitin’ ‘round the bend,

Sometimes in the morning, when shadows are deep,
I lie here beside you, just watching you sleep,
And sometimes I whisper, what I'm thinking of,
My cup runneth over with love . . .

Sometimes in the evening, when you do not see,
I study the small things, you do constantly,
I memorize moments, that I'm fondest of,

Raindrops on roses,
And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles,
And warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages,
Tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .

Here she comes, she's all dressed up in daisies,
Half the time, you'd swear that she is crazy.
Flowered drinks and a low-cut dress,
That's the way I know her best.
She says she's lonely, how could she be?
Every night she's got company.

Oh Marie,

Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it, gettin' so gay with it
Shoutin' "ol" with it, wow! (ooh!)

Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo

The melody was played "pianissimo"
The harmony was so very sweet
I can't remember the name of that song
But I do remember dancing in your arms

And then a voice came through "pianissimo"
With lovely words that seemed to repeat
I love you darlin' but all I recall

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin’ seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talkin’ to the sun
And I said I didn’t like the way he’ got things done
Sleepin’ on the job

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love
Then your love will hold you round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new song
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of

Perry Como - Santa Lucia (album "In Italy", 1966)

Sul mare luccica l’astro d’argento
Placida é l’onda
Prospero il vento

Sul mare luccica l’astro d’argento
Placida é l’onda

We have nothing to remember so far, so far,
So far, we haven't walked by night and shared the light of the star
So far, your heart has never fluttered so near, so near
That my own heart alone could hear it!

We haven't gone beyond the very beginning
We've just begun to know how lucky we are
So we have nothing to remember so far, so far,

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
An' somehow you know, you know even then,
That somewhere you'll see her again and again!

Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
An' night after night as strange as it seems

Somebody cares,
When your heart is feeling blue,
As you climb your lonely stair,
Somebody cares!

Somebody knows,
When each dream falls through,
Though you think it never shows,

Do you recall that night in June when first we met?
Do you remember love the words we spoke?
Have you forgotten all the tender vows we made
In the silent magical moonbeams light?

Gone are the golden dreams
With summer roses
And all of our tender-est vows

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?

When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

(i’m in love with the girl with the golden,
Can’t live without the girl with the golden. .. braids!)
I saw a gal with golden hair
Dancin’as i played
Never saw a gal so fair
As the girl with the golden braids!
I was travellin’with a band,
Came to town and stayed

He wore the rose tattoo,
To prove his love was true . . .
But hearts can lie, so why deny,
That roses fade and love can die . . .

She'll wait her whole life through,
Like fools an' dreamer's do . . .
She'll go on caring for one who's wearing,

The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn

Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me

They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, so they tell me!

I can't recall who said it, I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful

‘Till the end of time,
‘long as stars are in the blue,
‘long as there’s a spring, a bird to sing,
I’ll go on loving you.

‘Till the end of time,
‘long as roses bloom in May,
my love for you will grow deeper,

To know you, is to love you,
And I love you 'cause I know you
Are such a sweetheart
That when you walk down the street,
Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat!

The others, who have met you,
Better start in to forget you

To know you, is to love you
And I love you 'cause I know you
Are such a sweetheart that when you walk down the street
Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat!
The others, who have met you
Better start in to forget you
Because, to know you is to love you so
It's time for everyone you know

When we were small,
I used to call you Tomboy
The years have flown
Since you were known as Tomboy

No made-up face, no fancy lace
Pigtails in your hair
It seems like only yesterday

On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

On the second day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time

Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?

(The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie, where first the daisies sprung.)

I wandered today to the hill, Maggie
To watch the scene below
The creek and the creakin' old mill, Maggie
As we used to do long ago

The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas car I write.

Hi yup, hi yup, hi yup

It would take more than a pack of wild horses
Pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
It would take more than superior forces
Even a dragon to keep you from me

You can make fools out of other good guessers

run, but don't be scared to look behind.
stop, don't wait too long, make up your mind.
the end is almost here,
the sky, the air, so nice and clear,
the sound of your decay,
and the ringing in the air is the sweet debris of yesterday.
there, now that you know it's not so bad.
see, the good meet soon for lots of air.

(So young!
So young!So young!)

You make me feel so young,
You make me feel so Spring has sprung!
And every time I see you grin,
I'm such a happy, individual!

Young love! Young love!
Young love! Young love!

They say for every boy an' girl,
There's just one love in this whole world,
And I know I found mine,
The heavenly touch of your embrace,
Tells me no one can take your place,

Ca-taa-ree-na! Oh-ho-ho!
When we kiss, Purdy Miss, Purdy Miss,
I’m in ecstasy!
Caterina, o-ho-ho-ho!
But when we kiss, Purdy Miss, Purdy Miss,
Are you thinkin’ of me?

Ca-taa-ree-na! Ha, ha, ha!

Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin’,
Magic, moments,
Memories we’ve been sharin’ . . .

I’ll never forget the moment we kissed,
The night of the hayride,
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,
