Like Someone In Love
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
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
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 light of the silvery moon
I want to spoon, to my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon keep a shining in June
Your silvery beams will bring love dreams, we'll be cuddling soon
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)

Your silvery beams will bring love dreams
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
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
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
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
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
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
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!

By Myself
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
