APRIL LOVE
(Paul F. Webster - Sammy Fain)
« © '57 WB Music, ASCAP »
April love is for the very young
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you
April love is all the seven wonders
One little kiss can tell you this is true
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away
[ sax ]
Sometimes an April day...

WHEN THE SWALLOWS COME BACK TO CAPISTRANO
(Leon Rene)

When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day you promised you'll come back to me
When you whispered farewell in Capistrano
Twas the day the swallows flew out to sea
All the mission bells will ring the chapel choir will sing
The happiness you'll bring will live in my memory
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me
[ bells ]
When the swallows come back to Capistrano
That's the day I pray that you'll come back to me

Oh sugar moon come out tonight
Bring me your glow of angel light
Here in my arms a love will bloom if you will shine
Oh sugar moon while you shine down from up above
I'll hold her close and talk sweet love
And in your glow we'll hear love's tune then she'll be mine

IF DREAMS CAME TRUE
(Robert Allen - Al Stillman)
« © '57 Music Sales, ASCAP / Charlie Deitcher Productions, ASCAP »
Oh my darling oh my lover
If dreams came true dear I'd dream you everything
That you would always be happy as a king
If dreams came true dear no trouble would you see
Just song and laughter to keep your company
Oh my darling oh my lover in your heart you would soon discover
Song and laughter ever after from the dreaming I do
If dreams came true
If dreams came true dear I'd dream you paradise
A moonlit garden and stars to match your eyes
But as for me dear my world is all agleem
For I have you dear and have no need to dream
Oh my darling oh my lover in your arms is where I discover
More than moonlight more than starlight more than dreaming could do
If dreams came true

THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
(Eddy Arnold - Wally Fowler - Graydon J. Hall)
« © '46 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Well If I had a nickel I know what I would do
I'd spend it all for candy and give it all to you
I'd spend it all for candy and give it all to you
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
And if you were a kitten with pretty glossy fur
I'd take you up and stroke you and listen to you purr
I'd take you up and stroke you and listen to you purr
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
Oh if you were a tiger I'd hang around your den
I'd pester you my honey until you let me in
Oh I'd pester you my honey until you let me in
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
And if you were a horsefly and I an old grey mare
I'd stand and let you bite me and never move a hair
I'd stand and let you bite me and never move a hair
Cause that's how much I love you baby that's how much I love you
[ guitar ]
Oh if you were a tiger...
Well if you want to marry now let me tell you what
We'll go and find the parson and let him tie the knot
We'll go and find the parson and let him tie the knot
Cause that's how much I love you woman that's how much I love you

GEE BUT IT'S LONELY
(Phil Everly)
« © '57 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Got dad's car and chauffer but that's no good to half a pair
Gee but it's lonely being alone may as well go home
Got on my suit my shoes are shined all dressed up for a real good time
Gee but it's lonely being alone might as well go home
What's wrong with me that I can't find someone for my own
Why should I be left behind left to be alone
The girl I asked out told me a lie there she goes with some guy
Gee but it's lonely being alone guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home guess I'll go on home guess I'll go on home

FOR MY GOOD FORTUNE
(Otis Blackwell - Bobby Stevenson)
« © '57 Screen Gems Music, BMI »
I wanna clap my hands I wanna clap my hands
I wanna clap my hands for my good fortune
I wanna tap my feet I wanna tap my feet
I wanna tap my feet for my good fortune
Each time I hold you I'm really in a spin
You can see without your love just where I might've been
I'm gonna give a shout stand right up and shout
I'm gonna give a shout tap my feet clap my hands
For my good fortune
Each time I hold you I'm really in a spin...

I'LL REMEMBER TONIGHT
(Paul F. Webster - Sammy Fain)
« © '57 WB Music, ASCAP »
I'll remember tonight that lovely melody we danced to
The sweet confusion when we met we never spoke a word and yet we knew
I'll remember your smile the way it warmed me in the moonlight
The way my heart began to melt the strange effection that I felt for you
To think that only a moment ago we were no more than strangers
And now my heart tells me that we are strangers no more
So whatever be false our little world of joys and sorrows
I'll remember tonight for a thousand and one tomorrows
To think that only a moment ago...

Here comes the big brass band
Hear them blow as they go to the Mardi Gras
See the leader wavin' to ya happy days hallelujah
Lucky day they're standing where you are

Dressed in red dressed in blue
They go marching marching marching marching to the Mardi Gras

They play that dixieland...

IT'S TOO SOON TO KNOW
(Deborah Chessler)
« © '56 Edwin H Morris Co, ASCAP »
Does she love me it's too soon to know
Can I believe her when she tells me so
Is she fooling is it all a game
Am I the fire or just another flame
A one sided love would break my heart
She may be just acting and playing a part
If she don't love me let her tell me so
I won't hold her if she wants to go
Though I'll cry when she's gone I won't die I'll live on
If it's so it's too soon way too soon to know
If she don't love me...
