Lover's Beach
Composer(s): Blore - Prior - Testi
Performer(s): The Lettermen



This is my dream the one I dreamed that someday you'll share
We're on a beach and we're so much in love the stars stop and stare
Stars have things to do but they stop to look at you there with me
Here by the sea on the beach
And then in my dreams the sea rolls in and kisses the sand
The sky holds the moon and the breeze holds a bird and I hold your hand 
Everything is love and we know the meaning of 
Something for each on lover's beach
Then you say that you love me, you're everything that is lovely
I want to memorize every kiss, every star in your eyes 
This is my dream the one I dream that someday you'll share 
What good's a dream when you wake up alone and nobody's there 
Come and be with me at that place beside the sea
You'll find love is there within your reach 
If you'll stay with me on lover's beach

Reviens-moi, mon amour

Mais toi, je t'attendrai
Toute la vie s'il le fallait

Ton absence ne peut durer
Elle efface le passé
Regardons vers l'avenir
C'est lui qui doit nous sourire

Reviens-moi, mon amour
Il n'est plus loin le jour du retour
Mais toi, je t'attendrai
Toute la vie s'il le fallait

Les histoires du passé
Il faudra bien les oublier
Crois-moi, l'avenir est précieux
Il est double pour nous deux

Reviens-moi, mon amour
Il n'est plus loin le jour du retour
Mais toi, je t'attendrai
Toute la vie s'il le fallait

Je souhaite, ô mon amour
Qu'on retrouve nos beaux jours
Nous pourrons, si tu le veux
Nous pourrons être encore heureux

I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin', oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be

The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me, but there's no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be

I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance can be
Like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be

Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be

Lover Boy
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp



I'll tell you from the start
He's gonna break your heart
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

He's gonna tell you lies
But you won't realize
Because you can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

He's got a thing in his head
It's from a book he's read
It's got a funny title,
It tells you how to be vital
He took a lot of time
Over every line
Because it's guaranteed
To satisfy

He's gonna knock 'em dead
The boy's got that book read
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

Right from the clothes he wears
The way he combs his hair
You can't stop him now, because he knows all the tricks
He used to have a problem but he got it fixed
He took a small apartment
Above a shoe department
And he could see from his window
All the lights in the street glow
There's a club on the corner
And tonight he will go there
To find a new affair
So all you ladies beware

He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right

Lover
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
First performance by: Jeanette MacDonald - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists



Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you, speak my name
Softly, in my ear you breathe a flame

Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Till loves own entrancing music dies

All of my future is in you
You're every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue
To be mine

Lover, please be tender
When you're tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart

Lover, it's immoral
But why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral want to kiss

I say the devil is in you
And to resist you, I try
But if you didn't continue
I would die

Lover, please be tender
When you're tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart

Lovely Weather For Ducks 
Composer(s): Jay Livingston - Ray Evans
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and multiple other artists



When it’s pouring rain and people complain
And things aren’t worth the shucks
Don’t you yell, just say Well
Lovely weather for ducks

When it’s freezing snow, ‘bout zero or so
And the icy sidewalk glares
Don’t get cold feet, just repeat
Lovely weather for bears

Though all your cares seem double
There’s good in every bad
So sneer at Old Man Trouble
And he’ll go away mad

When your shoelace breaks
And your toothache aches
And you need a few more bucks 
Don’t you pout, just sing out
Heavenly weather for what could be better for
Lovely weather for ducks

Though all your cares seem double
There’s good in every bad
So sneer at Old Man Trouble
And he’ll go away mad

When your shoelace breaks
And your toothache aches
And you need a few more bucks 
Don’t you pout, just sing out
Heavenly weather for what could be better for
Lovely weather for ducks

Heavenly weather for what could be better for
Lovely weather for ducks

Lovely Way To Spend An Evening

Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



Some like a night at the movies, some like a dance or a show
Some are content with an evening spent home by the radio
Some like to live for the moment, some like to just reminisce
But whenever I have an evening to spend. just give me one like this
This is a lovely way to spend an evening. can't think of anything I'd rather do
This is a lovely way to spend an evening, can't think of anyone as lovely as you
A casual stroll through a garden. a kiss by a lazy lagoon
Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you
Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you

(she)
Clothes must play a part 
To light an eye, to win a heart
They say a gown can almost speak
If it is chic
Should you select the right effect 
You cannot miss
You may be sure
He will tell you this 

Lovely to look at 
Delightful to know and heaven to kiss 
A combination like this
Is quite my most impossible scheme come true
Imagine finding a dream like you! 
You're lovely to look at 
It's thrilling to hold you terribly tight
For we're together, the moon is new 
And oh, it's lovely to look at you tonight! 

(he)
What appeals to me 
Is just your charm and dignity
Not what you wear
But just an air, of great repose 
You are quite perfect from your head down to your toes 
Both night and day
I am moved to say

Lovely to look at 
Delightful to know and heaven to kiss 
A combination like this
Is quite my most impossible scheme come true
Imagine finding a dream like you! 
You're lovely to look at 
It's thrilling to hold you terribly tight
For we're together, the moon is new 
And oh, it's lovely to look at you tonight!

I said hurry up, dig a little pony I know
Say that so
I said hurry up, dig a little pony, we'll blow
Ride, ride, ride

He's blowin' pretty, what a musical treat
Say that so
Look at him, blowin' steady, what a wonderful beat
Ride, ride, ride

Hurry up, hurry up
Do me the ditty up
Hurry up, hurry up
Go wake the city up
Hurry up, hurry up
Once more I wanna repeat

People pass word
He's the last word
That's the mass word
They don't dig 'til he's big, then they wig

Wanna say a lot about a little pony
Wanna celebrate the night the pony booted up the big beat
And by the time he got to cookin' everybody started lookin'

Well I can't stop telling about what he was doin'
To blow as though his heart was in it every minute
Singin' a pretty kind of sound, really givin' every pound
Neve acting like the greatest cat around

Every body dug him and he had 'em really drinking
Like the did a lot of swiggin' from a gallon jug
And then he cooled a while, sentimental style

Later on a little while he had 'em swinging, stompin' the floor
Little pony went a ridin', illustratin' what a horn was for
Had 'em comin' back for more, when they added up the score
It was joy galore!

Been down east, did up the west
Come to find, this little pony's the best
Blow your horn, do up the sound Sing your song, you're really
puttin' it down

Well, a little bit of listenin' with a passable ear
We'll get an awful lot of messages anywhere

Ride, pony ride, Be my wailing guide
Keep on singin', I dig, you're bringin' the word
Go pony, go, put me in the know
Dig me wiggin', that way, you're diggin' I heard

If anybody ever made it out to the coast
They can tell ya what I'm talkin' about
Little pony wailin' on the alto saxophone
Holler giddyup and gallop

Ball, pony, ball, don't be slow at all
Don't bashful, be like you're blowing for me

Gotta get along speedily
Got to get along, and do the coda
It's really the end, you see
Well thanks a lot, but pretty baby I must quit this scene
If you know what I mean

Don't be quittin', just when you're hittin' the peak
Get a record that'll play all week
Could be good bebop, could be!

The joys of love

A rainbow brightened my window
Such love divine

And now he's gone
Like a dream that melts with the dawn
His memory stays locked in my heartstrings
He was ne'er mine

You'd rather have wine than gin
Only the finest by your skin
Always running after Time - catching
You're fancy with rhyme
Shining on the front page again

Hot on the presses today - little queen
Making your passion play - little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind 
Little queen

Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
Still you danced and you sang - all night
The telephone rang
Music kept on playing from your pen

Hot on the presses today - little queen
Making your passion play - little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind 
Little queen

Raining Raining- he knows your Soul ain't free
Raining Raining- he feels you little queen

Slipping away with your gypsy band
Hot on your music and playing a winning hand
He was standing in the line, thinking how you
Moved his mind
Feeling like he held you in his hand

Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1976



Plus légères et frêles que les gazelles
Plus gracieuses qu'un vol de papillon
Elles font le beau temps comme les coccinelles
Et roucoulent comme les pigeons
Elles sont bavardes et belles comme les perruches
Prévoyantes aussi comme les fourmis
Nous laissent tomber comme des ours en peluche
Pour suivre un bel oiseau de nuit

Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes
Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer
Toutes les mêmes oui mais on les aime et rien ne peut les remplacer

Pour elles nous sommes toujours des phénomènes
Plus maladroits que des éléphants
Dans un magasin de porcelaine, quand on les trompe en passant

Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes
Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer
Toutes les mêmes oui mais on les aime et rien ne peut les remplacer

Plus bohèmes encore que les cigales, elles adorent danser la nuit
Mais ces petites chattes ont pour elle une morale
Trouver le matou de leur vie

Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes
Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer
Toutes les mêmes, elles sont toutes les mêmes
Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer
