POETRY IN MOTION
(Paul Kaufman - Mike Anthony)
« © '62 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
When I see my baby what do I see
Poetry poentry in motion
Poentry in motion walking by my side
Her lovely locomotion keeps my eyes open wide
Poentry in motion see her gentle sway
All waves out in the ocean could never move that way
I love every movement there's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement she's much too nice to rearrange
Poentry in motion dancing close to me
A flower of devotion a swaying gracefuly
[ sax ]
Poentry in motion see her gentle sway
All waves out in the ocean could never move that way
I love every movement there's nothing I would change
She doesn't need improvement she's much too nice to rearrange
Poentry in motion all that I adore
Oh number nine love potion could make me love her more

DREAMY EYES
(Johnny Tillotson)

Dreamy eyes you've got such dreamy eyes
When I'm away from you I'm so alone and blue
When I take you home I feel so all alone
And then I realize I love you dreamy eyes
Your eyes hold a dream of a love for two
A love so warm and rare
I hope to see that dream come true
A dream we both can share
Dreamy eyes you've got such dreamy eyes
And I see paradise within your dreamy eyes
Your eyes hold a dream...
Dreamy eyes you've got such dreamy eyes...

WITHOUT YOU
(Johnny Tillotson)
« © '61 Ridge Music, BMI »
You made me happy you made me sing
But now without you I've lost everything
And I know know it's true that I I must go through
All my life all my life without you
No one to talk to when I'm alone
No one to call me call me her own
And I know know it's true that I I must go through
All my life all my life without you
Maybe tomorrow maybe in time
I'll find an angel who wants to be mine
Someone who needs me like I'm needing you
Someone to love me and to always be true
But oh my darling I love you still
I dream about you and I always will
And I know know it's true that I I must go through
All my life all my life without you

JIMMY'S GIRL
(Paul Vance - Lee Pockriss)
« © '60 Emily Music, ASCAP »
Jimmy's girl Jimmy's girl
Wish that I were holding Jimmy's girl
I'm in love with Jimmy's girl though I've never met her
Still I can't forget her Jimmy's girl
Jimmy's always telling me that her hair is golden
Wish that I were holdin' Jimmy's girl
He says her lips are warm each time they kiss good night
And just as sweet as any lips can be
And then I close my eyes and though it's make believe
I pretend she's in love with me
How I long for Jimmy's girl but her love is taken
So my heart is breakin' for Jimmy's girl
When I close my eyes although it's make believe
I pretend she's in love with me
I'm in love with Jimmy's girl but her love is taken
So my heart is breakin' for Jimmy's girl
How my heart is breakin' for Jimmy's girl

WHY DO I LOVE YOU SO
(Clifford Rhodes)

My darling I have often thought of things we used to do
And now I sit and wonder why you've gone and left me blue
You said you'd never leave me you said you'd never go
Oh my darling why do I love you so
Oh my darling why do I love you so
You said you'd never leave me...
