TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN LOW

(Joe Babcock) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Turn the lights down low let your feelings go
Now's the time when dreams come drifting in
Turn the hi-fi on play that certain song
One that brings the mem'ries back again
Things that might have been

If you'd kept our love closer to your heart
Safe from other lips that tore it all apart
Then I wouldn't hide teardrops deep inside
And dream alone when lights are turned down low
[ piano ] And dream alone when lights are turned down low
When lights are turned down low

FOREVER YOURS

(Don Winters) « © '65 Unichappell Music, BMI / Elvis Presley Music, BMI »
You are so wonderful just to be with and to talk to
Yes you're wonderful I'm forever yours
You are my heart's desire just a touch of you hand the way you understand
Tells me you're wonderful and I'm forever yours

I never knew a heart could love as much as this
Didn't think I'd thrill so to your kiss
Dreams they say never do come true
But I found all my dreams in you
And I thank you're so wonderful the way you hold me when you kiss me
Makes my life complete I'm forever yours

I never knew a heart could love...

YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE

(Phoebe Binkley - Bob Binkley) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Has the wondering started is she bein' untrue
Has the love light departed has she found someone new

You're not the only one you're not the only one
It happened to me it happened to me

Has she started forgetting has she answered your call
Have you started regreting that you love her at all

You're not the only one...

Her promises wilted like leaves on a tree
And she left me to cry endlessly

You're not the only one...

I DON'T CARE

(Phoebe Binkley - Bob Binkley) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
I tell myself that I mustn't cry
It didn't hurt the day you said goodbye
Cause I don't care if you don't care for me

Some other arms gonna hold you tight
Some other lips gonna kiss you every night
But I don't care if you don't care for me

I'll stop remembering Love's Avanue
Now I even stop remembering you

I know the part that I must play
Maybe I'll start believeng everything that I say
Then I won't care if you won't care for me

I must pretend so you will never know
My heart is aching but it never will show

I must believe it's over now
And learn to live my life again somehow
Then I won't care if you don't care for me

BUT ONLY ON MY DREAMS

(Joe Babcock) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
I have held you in my arms I have known your sweetest charms
Two hearts in love at least that's how it seems but only in my dreams

Though my days are often blue nights are always spent with you
There I know your love is really true but only in my dreams

I have dreamed a dream that I couldn't have in love
Just to have you for my own
I have known what life is for rich and gay with full reward
All that I could ever ask and more but only in my dreams

I have dreamed a dream...

IF YOU SEE MY HEART

(Joe Babcock) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
(If you see my heart today)

If you see my heart at all today there is something you can do for me
For you see my heart is gone astray it won't listen to my warning plea
If you see it won't you tell it please that she'd only bring us misery
For an old friend while you're on your way if you see my heart today

Don't leave me here alone to tell my heart that she's no good for me
That another claims her for his own that our love could never be
If you see my heart at all today even though it's gonna make me blue
Just reminded that a thief must pay if you see my heart today
[ piano ] Don't leave me here alone...

WHEN YOUR LOVE WAS MINE

(Joe Babcock) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Where is the sun that used to shine above
Where is the moon that used to glow with love
Where are the stars they used to brightly shine when your love was mine

Where are the dreams that made my life worthwhile
My world is cold without the warmth of your smile
Gone are the vows that were to be for all time when your love was mine

Darkness and night drove away the light
You left and they came in love vanished with the wind
So here am I my lonely cry takes me back again to a time
When life was kind and your love was mine

UP IN THE AIR

(Marty Robbins) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Up in the air when you're with me down in the dumps when you're gone
You're out of sight my day becomes night everything seems to go wrong
I'm like a child when you're with me the motions I cannot contain
You walk beside me happiness drives me everything seems right as rain

I'm like a lamp in the corner goes out whenever you're gone
You disappeared and when you reappeared the lamp in the corner comes on
Mould me and ache me to please you that's how I wanted be
I won't complain if you'll make me a clown long as you care for me
[ piano ] I'm like a lamp in the corner...

NO TEARS NO REGRETS

(Jimmy Sweeney) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
No tears no regrets it's just goodbye my love
Our affair is all over I'm to blame my love
I gave my heart and soul and everything it's through
But if you didn't care then why should I blame you

Your kiss only brought me misery and pain
But I swear I will never fall in love again
You made a vow but could not keep it and that's the reason why
There'll be no tears no regrets just goodbye

Your kiss only brought me...

REFER HIM TO ME

(Phoebe Binkley - Bob Binkley) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
If he wants to know her lips the touch of her fingertips
I touched them before refer him to me
The loveliness of her face to warm her in his embrace
I held her before refer him to me

The dreams that were ours to share when she was here
I'm helpless beyond compare without her near
Though she no longer wants my kiss if he'll bring her happiness
I ask nothing more refer him to me

Though she no longer wants...

CAN I HELP IT

(Phoebe Binkley - Bob Binkley) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Can I help it that I fell in love with you
Can I help it that you broke my heart in two
How can I control the tears that ain't to fall
When I know I'll never matter to you at all

I recall how you once were the springtime to me
Though I knew somehow this love could never be
Still I'm clinging to a dream that won't come true
Can I help it if I'm still in love with you

Still I'm clinging to a dream...

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT

(Martin David - Mabel Cordle) « © '65 Mariposa Music, BMI »
Oh hello there yes I thought that you might call
No I don't mind no I don't mind at all
Yes I knew you've found a new love when I saw you both last night
But don't worry don't worry I'll be all right

All your letters yes I'll send them back to you
And your pictures of course you'll want them too
I won't need them to remind me of the arms that held me tight
But don't worry don't worry I'll be all right

It's all my fault I feel so guilty now and so ashamed
I took too much for granted then now I'll take all the blame

Oh your wedding you'll make such a lovely pair
No I'm sorry I'd rather not be there
But I hope you'll both be happy so I'll say goodbye tonight
But don't worry don't worry I'll be all right
[ guitar ] Oh your wedding you'll make such a lovely pair...
