Little One Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Bing Crosby
Little one, what should I do? I just can't make any headway with you
Little one, I was so gloomy Felt that life sure would undo me till, one night, you happened to me My little one
Little one, no controversy You're my downfall, you're my Circe I'm a good guy, show me mercy My little one I have such love for you Our future could be Heaven above for you And paradise for me Little one, fate might miscarry Little one, why do you tarry? Little one, when may I marry you My little one?
Each night I'm lonely by the fireside Alone with an aching heart As I held in my arms The dearest of charms Just a little old rag doll Yet the mem'ries it brings Of days that are gone Fills my heart with regret For the court has decreed That they take you from me All I have is your little rag doll
Just a little old rag doll, dear That you held in your baby arms As you played 'round my knee My darling of three With your little old rag doll Just a doll
Each night as I lay on my pillow In dreams I see your blue eyes You are smiling at me My precious of three Holding your little rag doll When you grow up To be a lady so grand Some man's sweet loving wife O, be true just to him And then I'll be content All alone with your little rag doll
Maker Of Islands Composer(s): Mike Heron Performer(s): The Incredible String Band
I do my job and it's pleasing to me I'm getting so I can sail upon the roughest sea On the roughest sea I do alright But when my work is over and done I get to being a lonely one
I need someone to take the wheel at night And someone to navigate 'til light comes But most of all I need a maker of islands Rested in the golden sunlight where the seas are kind She could make me islands for my peace of mind
If I could only see her Look into her eyes Then I'd lie easy I'd lie easy I'd lie easy In my soul
Little Old Lady Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael - Stanley Adams Performer(s): Ray Noble and multiple other artists
Little old lady passing by Catching everyones eye You have such a charming manner Sweet and shy Little old bonnet set in place And a Smile on your face Youre a perfect picture in your Lavender and lace Little bit of business here Little bit of business there Bet that youve been window shopping All around the square Little old lady, time for tea Heres a kiss, two or three Youre just like that little old lady I hold dear to me

We hurried through our dinner Hurried through the dance Left before the picture show was through Why did we hurry through our dinner Hurry through the dance To leave some time for this To hug-a hug-a kiss and so now
Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable Mmmmm Mmmmmm Make yourself comfortable, baby
A Little More Time Composer(s): Harlan Howard Performer(s): Harlan Howard
(With only a little more time)
Every once in a while there's someone Whose life is like a comet flashin' across the sky Men of great talent with things to tell us And it seems like all too soon those kinds seem to die Now Stephen Foster was one of these gifted people His down to earth songs turned the whole world on But then like most people who are sent here on a mission All too soon young Stephen was gone
A little more time a little more time Oh the songs he might have wrote Tender words and pretty notes With only a little more time
Another man I feel was sent here on a mission was John F. Kennedy A man loved and respected by I guess just about everyone And I suppose we were all guilty of takin' him for granted His love for humanity and the many fine things that he done Now he wanted this to be a better world But all too soon this great man died And as we gathered around our radios that afternoon The whole world stopped a little while and it cried
A little more time a little more time So much to do so little done But the victories he might have won With only a little more time
And looking back down the pages of history The greatest influence for good there ever was Jesus In spite of all the obstacles in his path Look at the legacy of hope that he gave us And as I look around me at those who live by his teachings And bless the day of his birth I can't help but feel this would be a whole lot better world If he could have spent a little more time on this earth
A little more time a little more time Peace on earth might really be Today if only he Just had a little more time

Little Miss Lonely Composer(s): John Schroeder - Michael Hawker Performer(s): Helen Shapiro
Oh I cried last night How I cried last night For I knew the warning you had given me last night Now its over, yes its over And my tears are all too late
I wont sleep tonight I wont eat tonight But the years filled with tears could not put this right
For Ive lost you, I have lost you Now Im only Little Miss Lonely
A tear is such a very lonely thing But crying is the only thing that I can find to do Since I lost you
I am wiser now, so much wiser now But my wisdom is the wisdom of a fool somehow For I love you, I still love you But Im only Little Miss Lonely

Make The Music Play Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
Make the music play just a little slower, play a little slower Let him hold me in his arms, a little longer
Make the music play just a little softer, play a little softer Let him hear me when I sigh, how much I love him
Make the music play keep the magic going keep the love-light glowing, within his arms don't even skip a beat, or he may get away And if we were parted, I'd be broken-hearted till I'm in his arms to stay Please make the music play Let him hear me when I sigh, how much I love him
Make the music play keep the magic going, keep the love-light glowing

I know I've been wicked and bad I've sinned and I feel mighty bad Now my ship's going down, rescue me or I'll drown That I may repent and be glad
Make room in the lifeboat for me Please don't leave me alone on the sea Let me handle the oar to that beautiful shore Make room in the lifeboat for me
I feel like a ship with no sail That has stopped on the rock by the gale And what's more I behold if you'll save my poor soul As Jonah was saved by the whale
Make room in the lifeboat for me Please don't leave me alone on the sea Let me handle the oar to that beautiful shore Make room in the lifeboat for me
