LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND
(Nick Kenny - Charles Kenny - Fred J. Coots)
« © '57 Bourne Co, ASCAP / Toy Town Tunes, ASCAP »
On a day like today we pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
How you laughed when I cried each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters from the sand
You made a vow that you would ever be true
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches with every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
[ whistle ]
Now my broken heart aches with every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand

WHY BABY WHY
(Beasley Smith - Billy Vaughn)
« © '55 Milene Music, ASCAP »
Why baby why don't you treat me like you used to do
Why baby why don't you need me like I'm needin' you
If you need love and affection come to my lovin' arms
I'll be your shield and protection I want to do you no harm
There will be no trouble and strife I'll be your slave the rest of my life
I offer you my heart and soul wrap up in a band of gold
Why baby why do you tease me won't you please be fair
Why baby why won't you please me when you know you care
There will be no trouble and strife...
When you know you care when you know you care

ANASTASIA
(Herb Newman - Paul F. Webster)
« © '56 WB Music, ASCAP »
Anastasia tell me who you are
Are you someone from another star
Anastasia are you what you seem
Do your sad eyes remember a dream
Why do you tremble and why do you sigh
Could you be lonely as lonely as I
Will you remember when summer has flown
Another world a world a world that is yours alone
Anastasia smile away the past
Anastasia spring is here at last
Beautiful stranger step down from your star
I only know I love you so whoever you are
Anastasia Anastasia
Beautiful stranger step down from your star
I only know I love you so whoever you are

BERNARDINE
(Johnny Mercer)
« © '57 WB Music, ASCAP »
Oh Bernadine oh oh oh Bernadine
I can tell by the dimple on your chin
You're in beautiful shape for the shape you're in
And I'm in shape for Bernadine
Oh Bernadine oh oh oh Bernadine
When you wander into my dreams at night
Your remarkable form is a pure delight
I go go go for Bernadine
Bernadine Bernadine
You're a little bit like every girl I've ever seen
Oh your separate parts are not unknown
But the way you assemble them's all your own
All yours and mine dear Bernadine
Oh Bernadine oh oh oh Bernadine
Say you'll wait for me out by the rocket base
And we'll both blast off into outer space
Oh oh oh oh Bernadine
Bernadine Bernadine
Come away with me now in the rocket-propelled machine
We'll come home by the way of a drive-in spa
Just a little this side of Shangri-La
And there I'll stay with Bernadine
There I'll stay with Bernadine

REMEMBER YOU'RE MINE
(Bernie Lowe - Kal Mann)
« © '57 Kalmann Music, ASCAP / Lowe Music, ASCAP »
(Remember remember you're mine)
Be faithful darling while you're away
For when it's summer a heart can stray
And though I'll miss you have a wonderful time
But remember darling remember you're mine
If you go dancing and he holds you tight
And lips are tempted on a summer night
Your heart beats faster when the stars start to shine
Just remember darling remember you're mine
I'll be lonely I'll be blue but I promise I'll be true
And though I'll miss you have a wonderful time
But remember darling remember you're mine
(Remember you're mine)

CHAINS OF LOVE
(A. Nugetre - Harry VanWalls)
« © '51 Unichappell Music, BMI »
Chains of love have tied my heart to you
Chains of love have made me feel so blue
Well now I'm your prisoner tell me what you're gonna do
Are you gonna leave me are you gonna make me cry
Are you gonna leave me are you gonna make me cry
These chains are gonna haunt me until the day I die
Well if you're gonna leave me please won't you set me free
Well if you're gonna leave me please won't set me free
I can't bear these chains that bind me unless you're here with me
Well it's three o'clock in the morning the moon is shining bright
Yes it's three o'clock in the morning the moon is shining bright
I just sit and wonder where can you be tonight

(Charles Singleton)
« © '57 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
Don't forbid me to hold you tight darling don't forbid me to hold you tight
Let me hold you in my loving arms cause it's cold and I can keep you warm
Don't forbid me to kiss your lips no darling don't forbid me to kiss your lips
Let me kiss you please baby please cause it's cold and your lips might freeze
There's a strong west wind a blowing and there's a big blue moon above
And pretty babe I'll be knowing you need some hard warming love
So don't forbid me to talk sweet talk no darling don't forbid me to talk sweet talk
Let me fill your little heart with fire cause it's cold so don't forbid my desire
It's cold so don't forbid my desire

FRIENDLY PERSUASION (THEE I LOVE)
(Paul F. Webster - Dimitri Tiomkin)
« © '56 Volta Music, ASCAP / Webster Music, ASCAP »
Thee I love more than the meadow so green and still
More than the mulberries on the hill
More than the buds of a May apple tree I love Thee
Arms have I strong as the oak for this occasion
Lips have I to kiss Thee too in friendly persuasion
Thee is mine though I don't know many words of praise
Thee pleasures me in a hundred ways
Put on your bonnet your cape and your glove
And come with me for Thee I love
[ trumpet - strings ]
Friendly persuasion
Thee is mine though I don't know many words of praise...

I ALMOST LOST MY MIND
(Ivory Joe Hunter)
« © '49 Unichappell Music, BMI »
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she's left me behind
I went to see the gypsy and had my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy and had my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said
Well I can tell you people the news was not so good
Well I can you people the news was not so good
She said your baby's left you this time she's gone for good
(Gone for good) uh uh huh

I'M WAITING JUST FOR YOU
(Henry Glover - Carolyn Leigh - Lucky Millinder)
« © '57 Fort Know Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI /
Bienstock Publishing, ASCAP / Quartet Music, ASCAP »
You have to leave me all by myself dear
And I've been crying the whole night through
But I've been telling everybody I'm waitin' just for you
Your friends are trying so hard to tempt me
There's no use trying cause I'll be true
And darling you don't have to worry nobody else will do
[ sax ]
I know this waiting can drive me crazy
Don't mind the waiting it's nothing new
For I'll be telling everybody I'm waitin' just for you
Maybe a long time before I see you
So we can do what we used to do
But I'll be telling everybody I'm waitin' just for you
I'm waitin' just for you

THERE'S A GOLDMINE IN THE SKY
(Nick Kenny - Charles Kenny)
« © '52 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
There's a goldmine in the sky far away
We will find it you and I some sweet day
There'll be clover just for you down the line
Where the skies are always blue pal of mine
Take your time old mule I know you're growing lame
But you'll pasture in the stars when we find that claim
And we'll set up there and watched the world roll by
When we find that long lost goldmine in the sky
(Faraway faraway faraway faraway)
And we'll say hello to friends who said goodbye
When we find that long lost goldmine in the sky
