WHO'S SORRY NOW
(Ted Snyder - Bert Kalmar - Harry Ruby)
« © '57 Mills Music, ASCAP / Ted Snyder Music, ASCAP / Harry Ruby Music, ASCAP »
Who's sorry now who's sorry now
Whose heart is aching for breaking each vow
Who's sad and blue who's crying too
Just like I cried over you
Right to the end just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now
Right to the end just like a friend...

FALLIN'
(Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka)
« © '58 Screen Gems Music, BMI / Careers Music, BMI / Longitude Music, BMI »
I got the feelin' I'm a fallin' like a star up in the blue
Like I was fallin' off Niagra in a paddle boat canoe
I got the feelin' I'm a fallin' and it's all because of you
Like I was walkin' on a tight rope a swingin' in the breeze
And though I tried to keep my balance when I weaken in the knees
I got the feelin' I'm a fallin' lover help me please
Like a leaf falls from the branch like a rock from an avalanche
Like the rain on a stormy day I never thought I'd fall this way
I thought that love could never touch me yeah I was ridin' high
But then my ivory tower toppled and it tumbled from the sky
I got the feelin' I'm a fallin' love you're the reason why
Like a liner that he married for like the walls of Jericho
Like Delilah's holy town and Samson tore it down
I thought that love could never touch me...
Oh you're the reason why yeah you're the reason why
Yeah you're the reason why

HAPPY DAYS AND LONELY NIGHTS
(Fred Fisher - Billy Rose)
« © '59 Sony Tunes, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Since the parting of the ways you took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights
Morning never comes too soon I can't face the afternoon
But all those lonely nights
I feel your arms around me your kisses linger yet
You taught me how to love you now teach me to forget
You broke my heart a million ways when you took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights
You broke my heart a million ways when you took all my happy days
And left me lonely nights

STUPID CUPID
(Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka)
« © '58 Screen Gems Music, BMI / Longitude Music, BMI »
Stupid Cupid you're a real mean guy
I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly
I'm in love and it's a cryin' shame
And I know that you're the one to blame
Hey hey set me free stupid Cupid stop pickin' on me
I can't do my homework and I can't see straight
I meet him every mornin' bout a half past eight
I'm actin' like a lovesick fool
You've even got me carryin' his books to school
Hey hey set me free stupid Cupid stop pickin' on me
You mixed me up for good right from the very start
Hey go play Robin Hood with somebody else's heart
You've got me jumpin' like a crazy clown
And I don't feature what you're puttin' down
Since I kissed his lovin' lips of wine
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine
Hey hey set me free stupid Cupid stop pickin' on me
[ sax ]
You've got me jumpin' like a crazy clown...
Hey hey set me free stupid Cupid stop pickin' on me
(Stupid Cupid stupid Cupid stupid Cupid)

Shining on the one who waits for me

Shining on the one who waits for me
How I'm hoping tonight you'll go...
Shining on shining on Carolina moon

Frankie wherever you are I love you
Though you've found a new love I still miss you so
I just can't forget you but you'll never know

Once I was your sweetheart now I'm just a friend
Once you really loved me now I just pretend
Frankie my darling I'll never let you see me cry
Oh Frankie I'd rather hide these teardrops deep down inside
I'm crying but you'll never see I'd rather cry than have you pity me
Though my nights are lonely since we've been apart
I'll always keep this secret deep within my heart
Frankie my darling I'll never let you see me cry
Frankie wherever you are I love you

One kiss one little sigh that's all you gave me when you said goodbye
But someday baby someday darling you're gonna miss me
Long gone is your caress and with it all my happiness
But someday baby someday darling you're gonna miss me oh yes
One of these nights you'll wake up crying
But I won't be there to comfort you

Cause only my true love can chase away your blues

Cause someday baby someday darling you're gonna miss me
Miss me miss me miss me
Someday baby someday darling you're gonna miss me oh yeah

LIPSTICK ON YOUR COLLAR
(George Goehring - Edna Lewis)
« © '59 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
When you left me all alone at the record hop
Told me you were goin' out for a soda pop
You were gone for quite a while half an hour or more
You came back and man oh man this is what I saw
Lipstick on you collar told a tale on you
Lipstick on you collar said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar you and I are through
Couse lipstick on you collar told a tale on you yeah
[ guitar ]
You said it belonged to me made me stop and think
Then I noticed yours was red mine was baby pink
Who walked in but Mary Jane lipstick all a mess
Were you smoochin' my best friend if the answer's yes
Lipstick on you collar told a tale on you...
Boy told a tale on you man told a tale on you yeah told a tale on you

IF I DIDN'T CARE
(Jack Lawrence)
« © '39 Range Road Music, ASCAP »
If I didn't care more than words can say
If I didn't care would I feel this way
If this isn't love well then maybe I'm wrong
But why do I lie away all night and dream all day along
If I didn't care would it be the same
Would my every prayer begin and end with just your name
And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare
Darling would it be true if I didn't care for you
If I didn't care would it be the same...

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
Whether skies are grey or blue anyplace on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you my happiness

(N.J. Clesi)

I'm sorry dear so sorry dear I'm sorry I made you cry
Won't you forget won't you forgive don't let us say goodbye
One little word one little smile one little kiss won't you try
It breaks my heart to hear you sigh I'm sorry I made you cry
One little word one little smile...
