Sweetie O'mine Composer(s): Haven Gillespie - Egbert Van Alstyne
Dearie, hear the joyful bells aringing gay While the news is spreading of our wedding day Cupid's in the aisle dressed in his Sunday smile Awaiting there to guide us on our way
Since my sweetie named the day and everything I've been saving up my pay to buy the ring All the folks I see are wishing they were me They say I'm as lucky as can be
The choir is singing, just for that Sweetie o' mine The chimes are ringing for me and Sweetie o' mine And to a cozy bungalow Where pretty roses grow I'll soon be bringing, that Sweetie o' mine Since dear old school days she's been a Sweetie o' mine Since golden rule days, I've loved her all of the time And you can tell the world for me, she's always going to be The same old sweetheart, that Sweetie o' mine

Sweethearts In The Spring Performer(s): Foster & Allen
It was on a summer's evening when all the world was still Two lovers rambled down the lane to an old and wooden mill He was leaving on the 'morrow for lands far far away And as she nestles close to him she heard him softly say
I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring And when all the wrongs are righted Our hearts will be united I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring
On the quay there stands a soldier in uniform so bright He's waiting for a big troop ship to take him to the fight The bugles they are blowing and the master climbed it high And as the cable settled down from below there comes a sight
I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring And when all the wrongs are righted Our hearts will be united I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring
In a cottage by a fireside sits a maiden young and fair And as the tears roll down her cheeks, her letter she put there And as she read it o'er and o'er it was more than she could bear But ever' morning dawned for her she was gone for all was fair
So they laid in her in the graveyard in the Spring And for her those wedding bells will never ring For among the dead and dying her soldier boy was lying When they laid her in the graveyard i-in the Spring
I'll return my little sweetheart in the Spring And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring And when all the wrongs are righted Our hearts will be ...
Young Blood Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Doc Pomus; Mike Stoller Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
I saw her standing on the corner a yellow ribbon in her hair I couldn't stop myself from calling look a-there, look a-there look a-there, look a-there Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood I can't get you out of my mind
I took one look and I was fractured I tried to walk but I was lame I tried to talk but I just stuttered: well what's your name, what's your name well what's your name, what's your name Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood I can't get you out of my mind
A crazy stop, she was the top I tried to follow her all the way home Things went bad, I met her dad he said: you'd better leave my daughter alone
Well I tried to (...) I saw the rising of the sun and all along my heart was falling while you're the one, you're the one while you're the one, you're the one Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood I can't get you out of my mind

Sweetheart Waltz Composer(s): Jack Caddigan - Chick Story
Dearie now tell me, why do you sigh Why do you let all the Sunshine pass bye Life's all too short for a worry or care When melody fills the air Let us
Back of the shadows, there lies the sun Waiting the dawning when night-time is done Don't hide the Sun with a sorrowful sigh Let all your clouds pass you by Let us
Dance a good old sweet-heart waltz In a good old fashioned way Let us glide along while life's a song And there's Moonlight on the bay Let us sing a song of brighter days And forget each other's faults There are miles and miles of Sunny Smiles When dancing a sweet-heart waltz
Young At Heart Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh; Johnny Richards Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Fairy tales can come true It can happen to you if you're young at heart (young at heart) For it's hard, you will find To be narrow of mind if you're young at heart (young at heart)
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams And life gets more exciting with each passing day And love is either in your heart or on the way
Don't you know that it's worth Every treasure on earth to be young at heart (young at heart) For as rich as you are It's much better by far to be young at heart (young at heart)
And if you should survive to a hundred and five Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive And here is the best part, you have a head start If you are among the very young at heart
(Don't you know that it's worth) (Every treasure on earth to be young at heart) (For as rich as you are) (It's much better by far to be young at heart)
And if you should survive to a hundred and five Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive And here is the best part, you have a head start If you are among the very young at heart
The Sweetheart Tree
Composer(s): Henry Mancini - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Henry Mancini
and multiple other artists
They say there's a tree in the forest
A tree that will give you a sign
Come along with me to the Sweetheart Tree
Come and carve your name next to mine

The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore
Young And Warm And Wonderful Composer(s): Louis C. Singer; Hy Zaret Performer(s): Tony Bennett; Claudio Casanova; Peter Nero; Roger Williams
Everywhere that beauty glows you are Everywhere an orchid grows you are Everything that's young and gay, brighter than a holiday Everywhere the angels play you are
You're like Paris in April and May You're New York on a silvery day A Swiss Alp as the sun grows fainter You're Loch Lomond when autumn is the painter You're Moonlight on a night in Capri And Cape Cod looking out at the sea You're all places that leave me breathless And no wonder: you're all the world to me
You're Lake Como when dawn is aglow You're Sun Valley right after a snow A museum, a Persian palace You're my shining Aurora Borealis You're like Christmas at home by a tree The blue calm of a tropical sea You're all places that leave me breathless And no wonder: you're all the world to me
Sweetheart Time Composer(s): Harold Robe - Milbury H. Ryder
Night time in June, right time to spoon, man in the moon looking down from above, breezes are light, stars shining bright fireflies are flashing their wireless above roses in bloom spreading perfume bluebells are ringing their wedding ring chime crickets and whippoor wills calling their trills, they all know it's sweetheart time
Now just we two, swear to be true, man in the moon dear, is laughing aloud old mister moon, please let us spoon, can't you find business behind some dark cloud winds softly sigh, while nightbirds cry nature is drowsy and everything is fine now, dear, it's not a miss to steal a kiss, they all do in sweetheart time
It's sweetheart time, just good old sweetheart time so, honey, under pale moon beams, we'll plan love's sweetest dreams hug, squeeze, cupid decrees, in sweetheart time, I'll have you all for mine we'll find a dear little cozy nest, in that bright rosy best, sweetheart time
Young And Foolish Composer(s): Albert Hague; Arnold B. Horwitt Performer(s): David Daniels & Gloria Marlowe; and various other artists
Young and foolish, why is it wrong to be Young and foolish, we havent long to be Soon enough the carefree days, the sunlit days go by Soon enough, the bluebird has to fly
We were foolish, one day we fell in love Now we wonder what we were dreaming of Smiling in the sunlight, laughing in the rain I wish that we were young and foolish again
We were foolish, one day we fell in love Now we wonder what we were dreaming of Smiling in the sunlight, laughing in the rain I wish that we were young and foolish again
Long ago an angel I knew, if ever a one was seen She was a bonnie sweet child of eight, and I was just eighteen And every night she'd sit on my knee, her arms round my neck and say I love you, I love you, and when I grow big, now promise to marry your May
Sweetheart May, when you grow up one day You may marry another and my love betray But I'll wait for you, and then we shall see What you will do when I ask you to marry me
I went one day to countries away, to lands over sea to tread Trials and troubles of life I met, as years lay on my head But every night I'd think of that child, her smile and her young love-sigh I longed just to see her grown up sweet eighteen, my May of the days gone by
I came back again, and I found her at last to a beautiful woman grown I asked her to think of those old happy days, but the memory was mine alone I stood there before her, I sang the old song, she couldn't recall it I begged her to try She said, I forget you; besides we must part, to-morrow I'm going to be married; good-bye
Young And Beautiful Composer(s): Abner Silver; Aaron Schroeder Performer(s): Elvis Presley; and various other artists
You're so young and beautiful and I love you so Your lips so red, your eyes that shine Shame the stars that glow So fill these lonely arms of mine And kiss me tenderly Then you'll be forever young And beautiful to me
You're so young and beautiful, you're everything I love Your angel smile, your gentle touch Are all I'm dreaming of Oh take this heart I offer you And never set me free Then you'll be forever young And beautiful to me
Sweetheart Composer(s): Maurice Gibb - Barry Gibb - Sigmund Romberg Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
If your heart tells you so that you should leave me Don't try to forget , you and I never met And before you fly, one kiss should tell me why You've forgotten all the words that you once said
Long as I've got you there beside me Long as you're there to stand and guide me The love we share no one can ever tear apart Long as I've got this life I'm living Long as it's you the love I'm with then I'll keep on calling you sweetheart
If my love for you can't make you happy Just open the door and you won't see my anymore And before you fly , one kiss should tell me why You've forgotten all the words that you once said When you said
Long as I've got you there beside me Long as you're there to stand and guide me The love we share no one could ever tear apart Long as I've got this life I'm living Long as it's you the love I'm with then I'll keep on calling you sweetheart
Young Americans Composer(s): David Bowie Performer(s): David Bowie; and various other artists
They pulled in just behind the bridge He lays her down, he frowns "Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?" He kissed her then and there She took his ring, took his babies It took him minutes, took her nowhere Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but
All night She wants the young American Young American, young American, she wants the young American All right She wants the young American
Scanning life through the picture windows She finds the slinky vagabond He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but Heaven forbid, she'll take anything But the freak, and his type, all for nothing He misses a step and cuts his hand, but Showing nothing, he swoops like a song She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?"
All night She wants the young American Young American, young American, she wants the young American All right She wants the young American
All the way from Washington Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor "We live for just these twenty years Do we have to die for the fifty more?"
All night He wants the young American Young American, young American, he wants the young American All right He wants the young American
Do you remember, your President Nixon? Do you remember, the bills you have to pay Or even yesterday?
Have you been an un-American? Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout Leather, leather everywhere, and Not a myth left from the ghetto Well, well, well, would you carry a razor In case, just in case of depression Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors Blushing at all the Afro-Sheeners Ain't that close to love? Well, ain't that poster love? Well, it ain't that Barbie doll Her heart's been broken just like you have
All night You want the young American Young American, young American, you want the young American All right You want the young American
You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler A pimp's got a Cadi and a ladys got a Chrysler Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands shake I heard the news today, oh boy I got a suite and you got defeat Ain't there a man you can say no more? And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw? And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging? Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? Ain't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry?
All night I want the young American Young American, young American, I want the young American All right I want the young American Young American Young American, young American, I want the young American (I want with you, I want with you want) All right (You want it, I want you you, you want I, I want you want) Young American, young American, I want the young American (I want to want, to want, to want , to want I, I want you) All right (Lord I wanted the young American) (young American) Young American, Young American I want the young American
Raised up in Kentucky, in a cabin cold and bare Readin by the fireside, he got his learning there Earned his keep by splittin logs, he grew so lean and strong He could fight against a bully Or could right a mighty wrong
Young Abe Lincoln, loved all the people Oh! What a wond'rous man was he What a plain, what a humble man was he
Then he went to Springfield, started practicin the law Folks began to know his name, from Maine to Arkansas But when the people called him into politics, he went Cause he had a date with destiny to be the president
When he was elected, o'er his country to preside Rich or poor, to ev'ryone, his door was open wide And when he felt the sorrow of a nation in distress Whe he said will live forever in the Gettysburg Address
Then, on dark and fateful night, that hist'ry wil recall He went to the theater in his silk hat and his shawl There a shot was fired by a scoundrel known as Booth and Abe Lincoln died, because he stood for liberty and truth
Young Abe Lincoln, loved all the people Oh! What a wond'rous man was he Gave his life, so that people could be free
Down in Washington, there stands a monument today People come to honor him from near and far away And though it's nigh a century, that he's been dead and gone His truth goes marching on
Sweetest Of All Composer(s): Shel Silverstein Performer(s): Dr. Hook; Foster & Allen
Out of all of the nights I remember Of all of the loves I recall There are many who live in my memory But you were the sweetest of all
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe Wasn't it sweetest of all I wasn't your first love, I wasn't your last But wasn't it sweetest of all
Some times I still think about you Some times I wish that you'd call Some times I feel like you're lyin' here with me And it's still the sweetest of all
So keep your goodbyes in your pocket You ain't goin' nowhere at all Your memory is stayin' here with me `Cause you were the sweetest of all
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe Wasn't it sweetest of all Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you Weren't we sweetest of all
Wasn't it sweetest of all, babe Wasn't it sweetest of all Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you Wasn't it sweetest of all
Weren't we sweetest of all, babe Weren't we sweetest of all Of all of the lovers you let lie beside you Were we sweetest of all
You'll Never Walk Alone Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
When you walk through a storm Keep your chin up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Tho' your dreams Be tossed and blown Walk on Walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
When you walk through a storm Hold your head up high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm is a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Tho' your dreams Be tossed and blown Walk on Walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Sweeter Than You Composer(s): Baker Knight Performer(s): Rick Nelson; The Four Pennies
I could never be loved by anyone sweeter than you And I could never belong to anyone sweeter than you With you to stand beside me I'll never be alone And what more could I long for than to have you for my own
My only desire is loving you eternally For no, no other love could ever mean so much to me So if you say you love me forever I'll be true And what more could I long for than to live my life with you
I could never be loved by anyone sweeter than you And I could never belong to anyone sweeter than you
