If ever a heart was in the right place, it's yours If I need a hand in any tight place, it's yours If I were lost out in the ocean I know that somewhere in that ocean You and your devotion Would be the life preserver for me

If All The World Were Paper Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina Performer(s): Shirley Temple
I can't show how much I love you In this little face I've got I don't know how much I love you But it's an enormous lot
If all the world were paper And all the seas were ink I'd write a great big note to you And tell you what I think I'd say "I love you dearly" In letters three miles high And sign it "Yours sincerely" Cross my heart and hope to die
If all the stars were diamonds In golden skies above They wouldn't be worth that Without your love I'd like to write "I love you" So big that you would blink If all the world were paper Yes, and all the seas were ink
Keep The Home Fires Burning Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Lena Guilbert Performer(s): John McCormack; and various other artists
They were summoned from the hillside they were called in from the glen And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men Let no tears add to their hardships as the soldiers pass along And although your heart is breaking make it sing this cheery song
Keep the Home Fires Burning While your hearts are yearning Though your lads are far away they dream of home There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining Turn the dark cloud inside out, 'til the boys come home
Overseas there came a pleading "Help a nation in distress" And we gave our glorious laddies, honor bade us do no less For no gallant son of freedom to a tyrant's yoke should bend And a noble heart must answer to the sacred call of "Friend"
Keep the Home Fires Burning While your hearts are yearning Though your lads are far away they dream of home There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining Turn the dark cloud inside out 'til the boys come home
Nights Are Longer Composer(s): Tommy Deering Performer(s): The Four Freshmen
Nights are longer since you went away I'll grow stronger each passing day A season turned, a lesson learned, someday I shall be wise I'll remember just how heartbreak feels When I gaze in someone's eyes
I'll be lonesome, but I'll show no grief They say heartbreak soon finds relief And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be Since you went away from me
And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be Since you went away from me
If A Man Answers Composer(s): Bobby Darin Performer(s): Bobby Darin
If a Man Answers your phone when I call Oh, there's gonna be some screamin' that ain't all 'Cause if I'm here callin' you Then who's the who I'm talkin' to? Why any fool could see That for sure it ain't me If a Man Answers your phone then honey we're through!
Now everything between us used to be fine Till I became a third party When there ain't no party line You-hear-me-talkin'
Gonna hang this phone up now and dial again Oh and their better be a soprano on the other end 'Cause if the voice is baritone When you told me you'd be home alone Well,then I'm wastin' my time Not to mention my dime So, If a Man Answers your phone then honey I'm gone!
Keep The Mask On The Lone Ranger Composer(s): John T. Douglas Performer(s): John T. Douglas
It's plain to see our laws keep getting stranger everyday The courts won't rest until they've taken all our rights away Ain't nothing sacred anymore and everyone's in danger When some fool thinks he can take the mask off the Lone Ranger

If Composer(s): Robert Hargreaves; Stanley J. Damerell; Tolchard Evans Performer(s): Perry Como and multiple other artists
If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you If I ruled the earth what would life be worth If I hadn't the right to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you If I ruled the earth what would life be worth If I hadn't the right to you
