YESTERDAY'S GONE
(Barry Stuart - Wendy Kidd)
« © '64 Unart Catalog, BMI »
I love you all the summer through
I thought I'd found my dream in you
For me you was the one
But that was yeasterday and yesterday's gone
We walked together hand in hand
Across miles and miles of golden stands
But now it's over and done
Cause that was yeasterday and yesterday's gone
We had such happiness together I can't believe it's gone forever
Now wait till summer comes again I hope that you'll remember when
Our love had just begun
I loved you yeasterday and yesterday's gone
[ sax ]
We had such happiness together...
And yesterday's gone and yesterday's gone gone gone gone gone
And yesterday's gone

Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night
My dear heart seems like a year since you've been out of my sight
A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town alright
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know I'll leave your arms never more
(A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town alright)
But soon I'll kiss you hello...

I STILL MISS SOMEONE
(Johnny Cash - Ray Cash Jr)

At my door the leaves are falling and soon the rain will come
Sweethearts walk by together and I still miss someone
I can still hear his voice say I love you
And I see I see his face everywehere
I miss those arms that held me
When all the love was there
I wonder I wonder if he's sorry for leaving what we'd begun
Oh there's someone there's someone for me somewhere
But I still miss someone
[ strings ]
Yes there's someone there must be someone for me somewhere
But I still miss someone

Almost there we're almost there
How wonderful wonderful our love will be for you for me

For you are almost mine and soon we'll find
A paradise paradise so rare
Close your eyes for we're almost there

DON'T BLAME ME
(Dorothy Fields - Jimmy McHugh)
« © '60 Robbins Catalog, ASCAP »
(Don't blame me) for falling in love with you
I'm under your spell but how can I help it don't blame me
Can't you see when you do the things you do
If I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling don't blame me
I can't help it if that doggone moon above
Makes me need someone someone like you to love
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms that melt in my arms
But don't blame me
[ strings ]
Blame your kiss as sweet as a kiss can be...
Don't blame me

WILLOW WEEP FOR ME
(Ann Ronell)
« © '61 Ann Ronell Music, ASCAP »
Willow weep for me willow weep for me
Then your branches bring along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea listen willow and weep for me
Gone my loveless dream lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a breaking and making a moan
Mamba to the night to hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing and crying all alone
Weeping willow tree weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall bend old willow and weep for me

TRULY TRULY TRUE
(Al Stillman - Arthur Altman - Dalibor Basler)
« © '65 April Music, ASCAP / Universal Music, ASCAP »
Truly truly truly true do I love you truly I do
Do you love me wish I knew do you love me truly true
Truly the question's been vogue from the start
You have the answer somewhere in your heart
My true heaven will come in view
If you're sorry that you love me truly truly true
[ strings ]
(Truly love me truly true)
Truly the question's been vogue from the start...
My true heaven will come in view...

LOVE LETTERS
(Edward Heyman - Victor Young)
« © '65 Famous Music, ASCAP »
Love letters straight from your heart keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night when I can have all the love you write
I memorize every line and I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
I memorize every line...

BIRDS AND THE BEES
(Barry Stuart)
« © '65 Pattern Music, ASCAP / MCA Music, ASCAP »
Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees and the moon up above
And a thing called love
Let me tell ya bout the stars in the sky
And a girl and a guy and the way they could kiss
On a night like this
When I looked into your big brown eyes it was very plain to see
That it's time you learned about the facts of life starting from A to Z
Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees...
When I looked into your big brown eyes...
Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees...
Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees and the birds and the bees
And the flowers and the trees bout the birds and the bees

LA VIE EN ROSE
(Mack David - Edith Piaf)
« © '62 PolyGram Int, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast this is la vie en rose
When you kiss me heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes I see la vie en rose
And when you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart a world where roses bloom
And when you speak angels sing from above
Every day's words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be la vie en rose
[ strings ]
When you press me to your heart...

MAYBE
(Allan Flynn - Frank Madden)
« © '57 Robbins Catalog, ASCAP »
Maybe you'll think of me when you when you're all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue then what what will you do
Now maybe maybe you'll sit and sigh
Wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe maybe I'll say maybe
[ piano ]
(Maybe) maybe maybe you'll sit and sigh
(Wishing) just wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say maybe
