IT'S NOT UNUSUAL
(Gordon Mills - Les Reed)
« © '65 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
It's not unusual to be loved by anyone
Its not unusual to have fun with anyone
But when I see you hanging about with anyone
It's not unusual to see me cry I wanna die
It's not unusual to go out at anytime
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime
If you should ever want to be loved by anyone
It's not unusual
It happens everyday no matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time
Love will never do what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine mine oh mine
It's not unusual to be mad with anyone
It's not unusual to be sad with anyone
But if I find that you have changed at anytime
It's not unusual to find that I'm in love with you

CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE
(Sammy Cahn - James VanHausen)
« © '65 Paramount Music, ASCAP »
Call me irresponsible call me unreliable throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibi for you
Well I'm not too clever I just adore you
Call me unpredictable tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true that I'm irresponsibly mad for you
[ strings ]
Call me irresponsible yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true that I'm irresponsibly mad for you

TOO MANY RIVERS
(Harlan Howard)
« © '64 Combine Music, BMI »
I wish I could come back to you dear
Cause I know that you want me to
But too much waters run under that old bridge
There's too many rivers between me and you
There's too many rivers to cross dear
Too many dreams have been lost
And there's too many long nights that I've turned and I've tossed
There's too many rivers to cross
Now don't think for a moment I blame only you
We both killed the fruit on the vine
And when you try to put love back together
There's always a few little pieces you can't find
Yes there's too many rivers to cross dear...

WHO CAN I TURN TO
(Leslie Bricusse - Anthony Newley)
« © '64 Musical Comedy Productions, BMI »
Who can I turn to when nobody needs me
My heart wants to know and so I must go where destiny leads me
With no stars to guide me and no one beside me
I'll go on my way and after the day the darkness will hide me
And maybe tomorrow I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow beg steal or borrow my share of laughter
With you I could learn to with you on a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away
With you I could learn to with you on a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away

WHISPERING
(John Schonberger - Richard Coburn - Vincent Rose)
« © '20 Miller Catalog, ASCAP / Sony Tunes, ASCAP »
Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so no one can hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true there's no one dear but you
You're whispering why you'll never leave me
Whispering why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you
(Oh oh oh whispering while you cuddle near me)
Whispering so no one can hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true there's no one dear but you
(Whispering why you'll never leave me)
Whispering why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you whispering that I love you

STORMY WEATHER
(Ted Koehler - Harold Arlen)
« © '33 Ted Koehler Music, ASCAP / SA Music, ASCAP »
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together keeps raining all the time
Life is bare gloom and misery everywhere stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together I'm weary all the time the time
So weary all the time
When he went away the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more
Can't go on everything I had is gone stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together keeps raining all the time the time
Keeps raining all the time
[ piano ]
Can't go on everything I had is gone...

HELLO DOLLY
(Jerry Herman)
« © '64 Edwin H Morris Co, ASCAP »
Hello Dolly I said hello Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
Ah you're looking swell Dolly we can tell Dolly
You're still glowing you're still growing you're going strong
We feel the room swaying for the band's playing
One of your old favorite songs from way back when
So take her wrap fellas find her an empty lap fellas
Dolly'll never go away again
Hello Dolly ah hello Dolly
It's so nice to have you back where you belong
Ah you're looking swell honey and we can tell
You're glowing you're growing ah you're going strong
We feel the room swaying while the band's playing
One of your old favorite songs from way back when
So golly gee fellas find her a vacant knee fellas
Dolly'll never go away again
We feel the room swaying and we hear that band a playing
One of your old favorite songs from way back when
So golly gee fellas find that girl a knee fellas
Dolly never go away Lord don't go away
Dolly never go away again
Yeah Dolly never go away Dolly please don't go away
Dolly never go away again
Why don't you stick around with us Dolly

UNFORGETTABLE
(Irving Gordon)
« © '51 Bourne Co, ASCAP »
Unforgettable that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more that's how you'll stay
That's why darling it's incredible that someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
(Unforgettable) that's what you are
(Unforgettable) though near or far
That's why darling it's incredible that someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

EVERYBODY LOVES SOMEBODY
(Kermit Lane - Irving Taylor - Sam Coslow)
« © '48 Sands Music, ASCAP »
Everybody loves somebody sometime everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me my sometime is now
Everybody finds somebody someplace there's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying my someplace is here
If I had it in my power I'd arrange for every boy to have your charms
Then every minute every hour every girl would find what I found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime and although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting for someone like you
If I had it in my power...

NO ONE
(Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman)
« © '60 Longitude Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI »
No one ever kissed me the way that you do
And no one ever told me I love you
No one ever cared AH no one ever shared
All those dreams that I dreamed would come true
Ah ah ah no one ever hurt me the way you do
Ah no one ever broke my heart in two
But I'll keep on caring my whole life through
For no one no one but you (no one no one)
No one ever hurt me the way you do...

(Bob Tubert - Steve Alamo)

Truer than true that's how I love you
Say you love me too truer than true
Gladder than glad I can't believe it
I'm never sad I'm gladder than glad

Come kiss me tenderly oh can't you see
I'm higher than high I touch the stars now
Way way way way up in the sky I'm higher mhm higher than high
Truer than true yes yes that's how I love you

THINK
(Peggy Whittington)
« © '65 Careers Music, BMI »
Think before you leave me for somebody new
Make sure with your heart your mind's not fooling you
Think if there's another I won't come between
But don't let careless kisses take away all our dreams
I think you know darling that I'm human too
If there's a chance for me take time before you choose
Cause I'll live a lifetime just loving you
So darling think darling think
Cause I'll live a lifetime just loving you
So darling think darling think
