TASTE OF HONEY
(Rick Marlow - Robert W. Scott)
« © '60 Songfest Music, ASCAP »
Cold winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of Thee a taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return I'll return I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll leave behind I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it e'er remind you of a taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return I said I'll return I'll come back for the honey and you
She ne'er came back to her love so fair
And so he died dreaming of his kiss her kiss of honey
A taste more bitter than wine
I will return oh I'll return I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll come back for the honey and you

GOOD LIFE
(Sacha Distel - Jack Reardon)
« © '65 Intersog USA, ASCAP »
Oh the good life full of fun seems to be the idea
Yes the good life let's you hide all the sadness you fear
You won't really fall in love you can't take a chance
So be honest be honest with yourself don't try to fake romance
It's the good life to be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches when you learn you must face them alone
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why
Well wake up kiss the good life goodbye
Please remember I still want you and in case you want me too
Well just wake up kiss the good life goodbye

FLOWERS ON THE WALL
(Lew DeWitt)
« © '65 Unichappell Music, BMI / Wallflower Music, BMI »
I've been hearing you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience I guess
If I were walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends're worrying bout me I'm having lots of fun
Countin' flowers on the wall that don't bother me at all
Playing solitare till dawn with a deck of fifty one
Smokin' cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me I've nothing to do
Last night I dressed in lace pretending I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me I'm really doing fine
You can always find me here and having quite a time
Countin' flowers on the wall...
It's good to see you I must go I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard down street
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
Countin' flowers on the wall...
Don't tell me I've nothing to do don't tell me I've nothing to do

SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE
(Paul F. Webster - Johnny Mandell)
« © '65 Miller Catalog, ASCAP / Marissa Music, ASCAP »
The shadow of your smile when you are gone
Will color all my dreams and light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star was far too high
A teardrops kissed your lips and so did I
Now when I remember spring all the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering the shadow of your smile
Now when I remember spring...

REMEMBER WHEN (WE MADE THESE MEMORIES)
(Charles Singleton - Bert Kaempfert - Herbert Rehbein)
« © '66 Screen Gems Music, BMI / Ruth Rehbein Music, BMI »
Pizza pies and carousels fountains wishing wells
Remember when we rode in edeline
Switzerland we loved it too although we left there black and blue
Remember when we tried to learn to ski
Those two days in London town we yankee-doodled all around
Rubbed elbows there with all the royal teas
We still get so many laughs looking at those photographs
Remember when we made these memories
Wasn't that some honeymoon I know I won't forget it soon
Not if I live to be a hundred years
Here's the one we snapped in Spain I can't remember was it rain
Or were your eyes just filled with happy tears
All good things must end it's true so back to USA we flew
But who was happier than you and me
To relive each wonderland we open up this album and
Remember when we made theses memories
Ah let's remember when we made these memories

SOFTLY AS I LEAVE YOU
(Antonio DeVita - Hal Shaper - Giorgio Calabrese)
« © '62 Miller Catalog, ASCAP »
Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly
Long before you miss me long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour for one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears
To fall softly as I'll leave you there
For one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears
To fall softly as I'll leave you there
As I'll leave you there as I'll leave you there

MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY
(Hank Cochran)
« © '63 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Make the world go away and get it off of my shoulder
Say the things you used to say and make the world go away
Do you remember when you loved me before the world took me astray
If you do forgive me and make the world go away
Make the world go away...
I'm sorry if I hurt you I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to and make the world go away
Make the world go away...
Just say the things you used to say and make the world go away

SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN
(Harry Warren - Al Dubin)
« © '37 WB Music, ASCAP »
The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember in September in the rain
The old sun went out just like a dying ember
That September in the cold cold rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it's still September
Ah that September in the rain
[ sax ]
In September in the rattlin' rain
[ sax ]
Uh September in the rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper...
Just gimme September in the cold cold rain

RUSTY BELLS
(Eddie Snyder - Richard Ahlert)
« © '66 George Pincus & Sons Music, ASCAP »
No one pray in the chapel where so many prayed before
And they've let the bells get rusty don't they care anymore
Rusty bells rusty bells call your people back again
Call them back to kneel again and pray
Rusty bells rusty bells pity those who've gone astray
Ring again and help them find the way
When we're lost like little children in a forest dark as night
All we need is love to lead us from the dark to the light
Rusty bells rusty bells fill our hearts with love again
And we'll all come back again to you
And you'll shine like new rusty bells

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADE
(Stanley Adams - Marie Grever)
« © '34 Stanley Adams Music, ASCAP / Zomba Golden Sands, ASCAP »
What a difference a day made twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers where there used to be rain
My yesterday's blue dear today I'm part of you dear
Yes my lonely nights are through dear since you said you were mine all the time
Oh what a difference a day makes now there's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made and the difference is you
[ strings ]
What a difference a day made and the difference is you

YESTERDAY
(John Lennon - Paul McCartney)
« © '65 ATV Tunes, ASCAP »
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I'm not half the girl I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me yesterday came suddenly
Why he had to go I don't know he wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday
Why he had to go I don't know he wouldn't say
I guess I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place a place to hide away oh I believe in yesterday
(I believe in yesterday)
