Sweetheart Waltz


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


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

Young And Warm And Wonderful


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


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


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 haven’t 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

Sweetheart May


Sweetheart May
(Traditional)



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;

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


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

And I'll keep on calling you sweetheart

Young Americans


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 lady’s 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

The Sweetest Sounds


The Sweetest Sounds
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Les Brown & Rosemary Clooney - 1962
and multiple other artists



The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head

The kindest words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said

The most entrancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me

Is waiting somewhere, waiting somewhere
Waiting, waiting for me

Young Abe Lincoln


Young Abe Lincoln
Performer(s): Don Cornell



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


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


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


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

You'll Never Miss The Water 'Till The Well Runs Dry


You'll Never Miss The Water 'Till The Well Runs Dry
Composer(s): Arthur Kent; Paul Secon
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers; The Sons of the Pioneers



You'll never miss the water till the well runs dry
Remember that each time you lie

Suppose you find my love the only love that is real
Suppose you get a broken heart, then how would you feel?

You'll never miss my kisses till we kiss good-bye
And I would hate to see you cry

So be careful or you'll end up with a tear in your eye
You'll never miss the water till the well runs dry

Sweeter Than Candy


Sweeter Than Candy
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins



With a dirty nose pressed hard against the window
Of a candy store one day
A ragged little girl stood barefoot
While the hurried crowd went madly on their way

One lady stopped and smiled; she said, "I think I'll go inside
And would you like to come along with me?"
Then behind that dirty face, she saw a smile that made her day
They just don't make candy that sweet

Then she bought some shoes for her little feet
Then dressed her up fit for a queen
And with a smile that came from heaven
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you"
With an angel twinkle in her eyes
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And Boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

Are we walkin' too fast to see
A barefoot child on a lonely street
Are we rushin' by the ones in need
Or will some child play for you and me

With a smile that came from heaven
She said, "Ma'am", I sure do love you"
With an angel twinkle in her eyes
She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you
And boy, I sure look pretty"
And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

You'll Never Know


You'll Never Know
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney;
and various other artists



You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?

You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

(You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer)
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now

You'll never know if you don't know now

Sweetblood Call


Sweetblood Call
Composer(s): Louisiana Red - Kent Cooper
Performer(s): Louisiana Red; Eric Burdon; Willie Murphy



I have a hard time missing you baby, with my pistol in your mouth
Mmmm have a hard time missing you baby, with my pistol in your mouth
You may be thinking 'bout going north, but your brains are staying south

Just roll your pretty eyes, if you intend to stay
Just roll your pretty eyes, if you intend to stay
Close 'em up again, and I blow your world away

I see your eyes are rollin'
Must mean your love for me has come back
Must mean you're satisfied again
With our little wooden country shack

I have a hard time missing you baby
With my pistol in your mouth
You may be thinking about going north woman,
But your brains are staying south

Even if you sneak away
I'll find you before nightfall
You're tied to me girl
I can feel your sweetblood call

Even if you sneak away
I'll find you before nightfall
Caused you are tied to me girl
I can feel your sweetblood call

You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)


You'll Never Get To Heaven (If You Break My Heart)
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick;
and various other artists



Mother told me always to follow the golden rule
And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel
So remember if you're untrue
Angels up in heaven are looking at you

(Chorus)
You'll never get to heaven if you break my heart
so be very careful not to make us part
You won't get to heaven if you break my heart ...

I've been hearin' rumors about how you play around
Though I don't believe what I hear, still it get's me down
If you ever should say goodbye
I'd feel so awful the angels would cry

Chorus

(if you break my heart, If you break my heart)

I can hardly wait for the day when we say I do
It's a day i dreamed of so long now comin' true
You will promise to cherish me
If you break your promise the angels will see

Chorus

La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la. la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaa, la, la, la, laaaaa ...
