Like Strangers 
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1960



Like strangers
That's what we are
Darling how can lovers pull apart so far? 
Like strangers
How can it be? 
Only days ago, we loved so tenderly
I love you, truly I do
And I hope deep in your heart you love me too 
Let's forget that we've been angry
Let's be lovers like before 
And try not to be like strangers, anymore 

Let's forget that we've been angry 
Let's be lovers like before 
And swear not to be like strangers, anymore

By The Sapphire Sea
Composer(s): Harry B. Smith; Francis Wheeler; Ted Snyder



Somewhere over there by the Sapphire Sea
the whispering palm trees are calling me 
to skies ever blue
there alone with you
is where I am longing to be
The world we'll forget and your lips and eyes
will show me the way to love's paradise
to that land of summertime far away
I'm going to take you someday

On that sunny island, the roses rare
are blooming to give us a welcome there
and we'll be alone, in a world our own 
forgetting all trouble and care
We'll watch by the sea while the sails go by
till the stars shine above in the evening sky
you'll rest in my arms while the moon beams bright
and dream through the midsummer night

Merrily we'll sail upon the Sapphire Sea
to a little isle where happy we will be where moon beams bright
kiss you each night beside the silver waves we'll be together
While the stars are shining through the waving palms
sweetheart, I will hold you in my loving arms and life will seem
just like a dream, with you beside the Sapphire Sea

Like Someone In Love
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen - Johnny Burke
First performance: Dinah Shore - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists



This change I feel puzzles me
It's strange, a real mystery
Maybe you see it
If you do see it
What on earth can it be?

Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me

Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love

Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me

Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love

By The River Of The Roses
Composer(s): Joe Burke; Marty Symes
Performer(s): George Morgan
and various other artists



I met her by the river of the roses
The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo
I left her by the river of the roses
With tear-dimmed eyes she whispered I'll miss you so

All the roses have faded since we've been apart
But the one rose she gave me will always bloom within my heart
And someday by the river of the roses
I don't know when but we'll meet again I know

She's waiting by the river of the roses
The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo

All the roses have faded...

Like Sister And Brother
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): The Drifters



It's such a small town girl, news travels faster than a sigh
Everybody wants to know about the next man's secret
So everytime we meet upon the street, we've got to keep it....

Like sister and brother we'll wave to each other
We don't want all the world to know, we are really lovers
So we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together
And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I

You and me baby, you and me baby

Sometimes it's hard to hide pent up emotions we both feel
I want to tell the world I love you, but I dare not say it..
Until I let you go there's only one way we can play it...

Like sister and brother, we'll wave to each other
We don't want all the world to know, we are really lovers
So we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together
And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I

Like sister and brother 
We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know
We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know

We are really lovers so we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together 
And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I

Like sister and brother 
We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know ...

Place park, scene dark, silvery moon is shining through the trees
Cast two, me, you, sound of kisses floating on the breeze
Act one, begun. Dialogue, "Where would you like to spoon?"
My cue, with you, underneath the silvery moon

By the silvery moon

Act two, scene new, roses blooming all around the place
Cast three, you, me, Preacher with a solemn looking face
Choir sings, bell rings, Preacher: "You are wed for evermore"
Act two, all through, every night the same encore

By the light, (By the light, By the light)
Of the silvery moon, (The silvery moon)
I want to spoon, (Want to spoon, Want to spoon)
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon, (Honeymoon, Honeymoon)

We'll be cuddling soon
By the silvery moon.

Your silvery beams will bring love dreams
We'll be cuddling soon
By the silvery moon (The silvery moon)
By the light that's silvery!

Like Roses
((French Version: Comme Des Roses (by Charles Aznavour))
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Dreams, see them grow like roses
So warm, so bright, they paint the night like roses
My heart was numb and cold and you turned it to fire
Every joy you inspire makes our garden of love grow so much higher

Dreams, like a flame inside us
How they light up our eyes and they gide us
And suddenly today you’ve grown into a woman
So young, gay with magic songs to sing
And your childhood is mine
You broght another spring to me
Now nothing more can shake me
No wind, no rain, no storm could ever break me
I’m flowing in your arms, the gentle waves caress me
Posseses me, softly bless me

Dreams, thanks to you they’ve found us
The sky was never quite so clear around us
I want to lay may life before you
Each moment of my life so gently at your feet
Scattered like roses, like summer roses

By The Fireside
Composer(s): Ray Noble; Jimmy Campbell; Reginald Connelly
Performer(s): Al Bowlly
and various other artists



In the gloaming by the fireside
With you, I'll be content
In the gloaming by the fireside
Every hour will be well spent

We'll see our hopes and dreams, dear
Like pictures in the fire
Finding in its gleams, dear
Our heart's desire

In an armchair by the fireside
Just big enough for two
We'll be happy, oh so happy
While we do as lovers do

With no-one there to notice
A little kiss or two
In the gloaming by the fireside
With you

Like I've Never Been Gone
Composer(s): Paul Hampton - Camille Monte
Performer(s): Billy Fury



Don’t give your love to someone
While I’m away
I want you to think about me
Each night and day

And when I come on home
After being gone so long
I want it to be
Like I’ve never been gone

I’ll feel your tender kisses
Before I go to sleep
I’ll feel your arms around me
Just promise me
You’ll keep all your love
And your kisses
Until I come home
And then it will be
Like I’ve never been gone

I don’t ask much of you
Do what you want to do
But don’t make me be a fool for loving you

I’ll feel your tender kisses
Before I go to sleep
I’ll feel your arms around me
Just promise me
You’ll keep all your love
And your kisses
Until I come home
And then it will be
Like I’ve never been gone
Can't you hear me
Live I’ve never been gone

By The Beautiful Sea
Composer(s): Harold Atteridge; Harry Carroll
Performer(s): Spike Jones
and various other artists



Joe and Jane were always together 
Said Joe to Jane
"I love summer weather
So let's go to that beautiful sea
Follow along
Say you're with me!" 

Anything that Joe would suggest to her 
Jane would always think it was best for her

So he'd get his Ford
Holler
"All Aboard! 
Gosh, I want to be" 

By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea! 
You and me, you and me, oh how happy we'll be! 
When each wave comes a-rolling in 
We will duck or swim
And we'll float and fool around the water
Over and under, and then up for air
Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care? 
I love to be beside your side, beside the sea
Beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea!

Like I Love You Today
Composer(s): Chad Stuart - Russell Alquist
Performer(s): Chad & Jeremy; John Barry



You've heard a lot of stories about me
But don't believe the things that people say
I'll be always true, I'll be loving you
Like I love you today

I've got a reputation all my own
But don't believe I'll ever go away
Listen to me do, I'll be loving you
Like I love you today

I've got kisses by the million
And I've got some more
I've got kisses by the million
Who, who do you think they're for

After all is said and all is done
I'll be yours for ever and a day
You know that it's for sure, I'll love you more and more
Like I love you today

By Strauss
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
and various other artists



Away with the music of Broadway
Be off with your Irving Berlin
Oh I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter
And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin

How can I be civil when hearing this drivel
It's only for nightclubbin' souses
Oh give me the free 'n' easy waltz that is Vienneasy and
Go tell the band If they want a hand
The waltz must be Strauss's

Ya, ya ya, give me oom-pa-pah
When I want a melody
Lilting through the house
Then I want a melody
By Strauss
It laughs, it sings, the world is in rhyme
Swinging to three-quarter time

Let the Danube flow along
And the Fledermauss
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss

By Jove, by Jing, by Strauss is the thing
So I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus!
Just give me your oom-pa-pah, by Strauss!

Let the Danube flow along
And the Fledermauss
Keep the wine and give me song
By Strauss

By Jove, by Jing, by Strauss is the thing
So I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus!
Just give me your oom-pa-pah
by Strauss!

and multiple other artists



I, I saw a girl in my dreams 
and so it seems 
that I will love her
Oh you, you are that girl 
in my dreams 
and so it seems 
that I will love you

And I waited for your kiss

And I, I, I, I 
oh I'll be there, yeah 
waiting for you, you, you, you, you 

You, you came just one dream ago

And I, I, I waited for your kiss
waited for the bliss

waited for the bliss

By Myself
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz
Originally performed by: Jack Buchanan
Covered by various other artists



The party's over, the game is ended
the dreams I dreamed went up in smoke
They didn't pan out as I had intended 
I should know how to take a joke

I'll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance
I'll go my way by myself, love is only a dance
I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart to sing
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone
I'll go my way by myself, here's how the comedy ends
I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends
Grey clouds in sky above have put a blot on my fun
I'll try to fly high above for a place in the sun
I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone

Like China
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



My mom and daddy both say
I must be crazy to be this infatuated
But I know you know
We got something special never felt before
You get me going just looking at you
And the feeling's not hard to recognise so
Alright I'll come out in the open with it
Will you walk out with me.
'Cause you're the first girl I've ever loved
Tell me do you feel the same way
Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest
Cause I know who I am
Your skin is smooth as silk and your eyes like stars
You're just like a picture book standing there
But I can't go on
No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way that I do
I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china
I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china
You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china
'Cause I know it's your first time
Your mum and dad don't like me
And they tell me every time I call around to see you
I don't know why
Cause I always straighten my tie and comb my hair
I know your brother thinks that
I'm a limp wrested wimp from the other side of town
I know he's got me wrong
Because I'm really not like that, I'll tell you why
You're the first girl I've ever loved
Tell me do you feel the same way
Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest
'Cause I know who I am
I remember the very first time I held your hand
And that was the last time you were so close to me
But I can't go on
No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I do
I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china
I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china
You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china
'Cause I know it's your first time
I know you know and now I want to, I want to tell everybody
I know you know and now I want them all to see ...

By Love Possessed
Composer(s): Phil Lampkin; J. Joseph Leahy; Carl Sigman
Performer(s): Della Reese



By love possessed, by love possessed, by love possessed am I
From the moment that we caressed, by love possessed was I
From the moment we kissed all my plans to resist were replaced by a sigh
Your lips were warm on mine and tender was your touch
I tried so not to care but suddenly I care too much
All my fears seem to come to rest, by love possessed was I
When your arms held me tight could I question the night, could I ask myself why
I only know I needed you so
And whether the end be high or low
In the valley or somewhere atop the crest 
By love possessed, by love possessed, by love possessed am I

Like Animals 
From the musical "Doctor Dolittle"
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse - Samantha Eggar
Performer(s): Rex Harrison


I do not understand the human race

It has so little love for creatures with a different face
Treating animals like people is no madness or disgrace
I do not understand the human race

I wonder 
Why do we treat animals like animals?
Animals treat us so very well
The devoted ways they serve us
And protect us when we’re nervous
Oh, they really don’t deserve us
All we give them is hell!

Tell me how else man repays them 
Do we ever think to praise them?
No we don’t, and this dismays them You can tell

We’re riddled with ingratitude
We give no love or latitude
In every way our attitude
Is, well, like animals

No, no — that’s not what I mean

I mean 
Why do we treat animals like animals?
How can people be so inhumane?
Cows and chickens work to feed us
Dogs and horses show they need us
And though cats don’t always heed us
Their affection is plain

What do we do? We neglect them
We do nothing to protect them
We reject them, don’t expect them
To complain
We ignore them or we beat them
When we’re hungry then we eat them
It’s appalling how we treat them
It’s insane!
Like animals!

We humiliate and murder and confine them
We create their wretched status
Then we use it to malign them

I mean
Why should we say, “treated like a dog”
Why should we say, “working like a horse”
Why should we say, “eating like a hog”
When what we mean is “eating like a man”?
Don’t we? Of course!

A man of ill repute is called a “weasel” or a “rat”
A woman you dislike becomes a “vixen” or a “cat”
A family that is blessed
With healthy reproductive habits
Occasions the remark,
"Well you know them, they “breed like rabbits”!

“He’s as stubborn as a mule!”
“He’s as stupid as an ox!”
“He’s as slimy as a snake!”
“He’s as crafty as a fox!”

Remarks like that really get my goat!

Why don’t we say, “noble as a frog”?
Or, why can’t we say, “wealthy as a hen”?
True, we say, “devoted as a dog”
But what we should say is
“Chic as a giraffe,”
“Pretty as a pig,” eh? 
That’ll be the big day
Won’t it? But when?
But when?
But when?

When will we stop treating them like animals?
Is the human race entirely mad?
Women see a baby goatskin
Or a lambskin or a stoatskin
And to them it’s just a coatskin 
Oh, it’s terribly sad!

When you dress in suede or leather
Or some fancy fur or feather
Do you stop and wonder whether
For a fad
You have killed some beast or other
And you’re wearing someone’s brother
Or perhaps it’s someone’s mother
In which you’re clad?

Like animals! Like animals!
Like animals

Well, it’s true, we do not live in a zoo
But man is an animal too
So why can’t you
Like me
Like animals?
... animals

By Candlelight 
Performer(s): Kay Armen



When there’s pink champagne by candlelight
We will bring champagne by candlelight
While the bubbles rise, a violin will improvise
And we’ll drink a toast by candlelight

Then we’ll talk, but not for very long
Then we’ll dance, but not for very long
For when I hold you, not a word will wake the night
And you’ll understand, by candlelight

While the bubbles rise, a violin will improvise
And we’ll drink a toast by candlelight

Then we’ll talk, but not for very long
Then we’ll dance, but not for very long
For when I hold you, not a word will wake the night
And you’ll understand, by candlelight

Like An Old Time Movie
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): Scott McKenzie



Every time I see you 
It's just because you're blue 
You don't really need me
The way that I need you 
Don't come on so groovy 
You do better mean
You're like an old time movie
One that I already seen

Baby, yes I need your love
But I'm not gonna get this low
Don't you think that I can tell
When you've no place else to go 
Could it be you misunderstood
When you tried to read my mind
Cause this time you will find
I'm gonna let you go
Every time I see you

You're like an old time movie
Baby, yes I need your love
But I'm not gonna get this low
Don't you think that I can tell
When you've got no place else to go 
Could it be you understood
When you tried to read my mind
Cause this time you will find
I'm gonna let you go
Every time I see you

By A Waterfall
Composer(s): Irving Kahal; Sammy Fain
Performer(s): Dick Powell
and various other artists



I appreciate the simple things
'Cause I'm awf'lly fond of getting
Love in a natural setting
This is what I call the simple things
Just a winding stream
Where I can drift and dream
And now I'm waiting for you

By a waterfall, I'm calling you-oo-oo-oo
We can share it all beneath a ceiling of blue
We'll spend a heavenly day
Here where the whispering waters play
There's a whippoorwill that's calling you-oo-oo-oo
By a waterfall, he's dreaming too
There's a magic melody
Mother Nature sings to me
Beside a waterfall with you
