MY HAPPINESS

(Betty Peterson - Barney Bergantine)
« © '57 Happiness Music, ASCAP »
Evening shadows make me blue when each weary day is through
How I long to be with you my happiness
Everyday I reminisce dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss my happiness

A million years it seems have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again there'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are grey or blue anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you my happiness

A million years it seems...

NOW IS THE HOUR

(Maewa Kaihan - Clement Scott - Dorothy Stewart)
« © '48 Southern Music, ASCAP »
Now is the hour that we must say goodbye
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea
While you're away oh then remember me
When you return you'll find me waiting here
[ horns ] Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea
While you're away oh then remember me
When you return you'll find me waiting here waiting here

YOU CAN'T BE TRUE DEAR

(Gerhard Ebeler - Hans Otten - Hal Cotton)
« © '54 Essex Music, ASCAP »
You can't be true dear there's nothing more to say
I trusted you dear hoping we find the way

Your kisses tell me that you and I are through
But I'll keep loving you although you can't be true

Clouds hide the sun in the skies that were blue
As my heart says farewell to the joy that I knew
Love to be real is a love to be shared
But I know that you never cared

Your kisses tell me that you and I are through
But I'll keep loving you although you can't be true

SIDE BY SIDE

(Harry Wood)
« © '27 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
Oh we ain't got a barrel of money maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along singin' a song side by side

Don't know what's comin' tomorrow maybe it's trouble and sorrow
But we'll travel the road sharin' our load side by side

Through all kind of weather what if the sky should fall
Just as long as we're together it doesn't matter at all

When they've all had their quarrels and parted we'll be the same as we started
Just travelin' along singin' a song side by side
[ clarinet ] We'll travel along singin' a song side by side
[ clarinet ] We'll travel the road sharin' our load side by side

Through all kind of weather...
When they've all had their quarrels and parted...
Just travelin' along singin' a song side by side

Softly at twilight I hear you call

TUMBLING TUMBLEWEEDS

(Bob Nolan)
« © '34 Music Of The West, BMI »
See them tumbling down pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweeds
Cares of the past are behind nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind drifitng along with a tumbling tumbleweeds

I know when night has gone that a new world is born at dawn
I'll keep rolling along deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong drifting along with a tumbling tumbleweeds

I know when night has gone...
Drifitng along with a tumbling tumbleweeds

BESIDE ME

(Aaron Schroeder)
« © '59 Rachel's Own Music, ASCAP »
Say you'll always stay beside me
Here rather so near beside
I don't know what I'd do if you should go
Darling can't you see I need you so

Embrace this love I place before you
To all my happiness you hold the key
So say we'll never part there's no one in your heart
No one beside me

Embrace this love I place before you...

I'LL NEVER BE FREE

(Bennie Benjamin - George Weiss)
« © '50 Abilene Music, ASCAP / Claude A Music, ASCAP »
Each time I hold somebody new my arms grow cold aching for you
No one can take your place darling in my embrace I'll never be free

And when my lips burn with desire no other kiss puts up the fire
Though I may try and try no one can satisfy this longing in me

I'll never be free from your smile so tender the sweet surrender in your eyes
How can I be free when I still remember how you could thrill me with a sigh

Just like a chain bound to my heart your love remains when we're apart
Each kiss I gave to you made me a slave to you I'll never be free

Just like a chain bound to my heart...

Sentimental me guess I always will be
So in love with you don't know what to do sentimental me
Dreaming while I live living just to give
All my love to you no one else will do sentimental me

Reaching for the moon and wishing on a star
On my honeymoon I want to be where you are
Darling can't you see it was meant to be
I'm in love with you say you love me too sentimental me

Reaching for the moon...
Sentimental me sentimental me sentimental me

LET THE REST OF THE WORLD GO BY

(Jimmy Kern - Ernest R. Ball - J.K. Brennan)
« © '61 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
With someone like you a pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own

We'll find perfect peace where joys never cease
Out there beneath the kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
And let the rest of the world go by
[ horns ] Some place that's known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own

We'll find perfect peace...

Hold me in your arms dear dream with me
Cradled by your kisses tenderly

[ piano - horns ] Heaven wrote the music up above
For our melody of love

VAYA CON DIOS

(Larry Russell - Buddy Pepper - Inez James)
« © '53 Beachaven Music, ASCAP / Jarest Music, ASCAP »
Now the hacienda's dark the town is sleeping
Not the time has come to part the time for weeping
Vaya con dios my darling vaya con dios my love

Now the village mission bells are softly ringing
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing
Vaya con dios my darling vaya con dios my love

Wherever you may be I'll be beside you
Although you're many dreams away
Each night I'll say a prayer a prayer to guide you
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day

Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow
But the memories we share are there to borrow
Vaya con dios my darling vaya con dios my love
Vaya con dios my darling vaya con dios my love
