L is for the way you look at me O is for the only one I see V is very, very extraordinary E is even more than anyone that you adore Love is all that I can give to you Love is more than just a game for two Two in love can make it Take my heart but please don't break it Love was made for me and you

You 04:23

Whether you are here or yonder, Whether you are false or true Whether you remain or wander, I'm growing fonder of you Even though your friends forsake you, Even though you don't succeed Wouldn't I be glad to take you, Give you the break you need More than you know, more than you know Girl of my heart, I love you so Lately I find you're on my mind More than you know Whether you're right, whether you're wrong Man of my heart, I'll string along You need me so Much more than you'll ever know (ever know) Loving you the way that I do There's nothing I can do about it Loving may be all you can give But honey I can't live without it Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd cry If you got tired and said "Good-bye" More than I'd show More than you'd ever know

You turned the tables on me And now I'm falling for you You turned the tables on me I can't believe that it's true I always thought when you brought The lovely present you bought Why hadn't you brought me more? But now if you'd come I'd welcome anything from The five and ten cent store You used to call me the top You put me up on a throne You let me fall with a drop And now I'm out on my own But after thinking it over and over I got what was coming to me Just like the sting of a bee You turned the tables on me

Verse: Life is not a highway strewn with flowers Still it holds a goodly share of bliss When the sun gives way to April showers Here is the point you should never miss Chorus: Though April showers may come your way They bring the flowers that bloom in May So if it's raining, have no regrets Because it isn't raining rain, you know, (It's raining violets,) And where you see clouds upon the hills You soon will see crowds of daffodils So keep on looking for a blue bird, And list'ning for his song Whenever April showers come along

I've tried to explain that you are my heaven on earth Still I tried in vain since words can't explain my love and its worth This much I know is true There'll never be another you I've read all the plays from Shakespeare to Eugene O'Neill To find just one phrase that somehow conveys the way that I feel I met with no success I"m strictly on my own, I guess I'd work for you, I'd slave for you I'd be a beggar or knave for you If that isn't love, it'll have to do Until the real things comes along I'd gladly move the earth for you To prove my love dear and it's worth to you If that isn't love, it'll have to do Until the real things comes along With all the words dear at my command I just can't make you understand I'll always love you darlin', come what may My heart is yours what more can I say I'd sigh for you oh I'll cry for you I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you If that isn't love, it'll have to do Until the real thing comes along

Always 04:22
Ev'rything went wrong And the whole day long I'd feel so blue For the longest while I forgot to smile Then I met you Now that my blue days have passed Now that I've found you at last I'll be loving you, always With a love that's true, always When the things you plan Need a helping hand I will understand, always, always Days may not be fair, always That's when I'll be there, always Not for just an hour Not for just a day Not for just a year, but, always

How glad the many millions of Tom & Dick & Harrys Would be to capture me But you were so persistent, you wore down my resistance I fell and it was swell You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo How I won you I shall never, never know It's not that you're attractive But, oh, my heart grew active When you came into view I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and nighttime give me sigh I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion Could you coo? Could you care for a cunning cottage we could share? The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you
13.
Feelin' mighty blue, Melancholy too Since you made up your mind to go away Surely there must be Someone else for me I'll forget and you'll regret, just wait and see I know that someday, you'll want me, to want you When I'm in love with somebody new You expect me to be true, and keep on loving you Tho' I am feeling blue, you think I can't forget you Until someday you'll want me, to want you When I am strong for somebody else And although you don't want me now, I'll get along somehow And then, I won't want you

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
