That's all 04:50
I can only give you love that lasts forever, And a promise to be near each time you call. And the only heart I own For you and you alone That's all, That's all. I can only give you country walks in springtime And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall; And a love whose burning light Will warm the winter's night That's all, That's all. There are those I am sure who have told you, They would give you the world for a toy. All I have are these arms to enfold you, And a love even time can't destroy. If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear, You'll be glad to know that my demands are small. Say it's me that you'll adore, For now and evermore That's all, That's all.

Verse: I dreaded every morning until without a warning you arrived bringing heaven to my door And you changed all my blue notes to a love song It's the dawning that I've waited for Refrain: What a difference a day made Twenty-four little hours Brought the sun and the flowers Where there used to be rain My yesterday was blue, dear Today I'm a part of you, dear My lonely nights are through, dear Since you said you were mi What a difference a day makes 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 Find romance on your menu What a difference a day made And the difference is you

Pack up all my cares and woe here I go, singing low Bye-bye Blackbird Where somebody waits for me, sugar's sweet, so is he Bye-bye Blackbird No one here can love and understand me Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me Make my bed and light the light I'll arrive late tonight Blackbird, Bye-bye

I'm through with love I'll never fall again Said adieu to love Don't ever call again For I must have you or no one And so I'm through with love I've locked my heart I'll keep my feelings there I've stocked my heart With icy, frigid air And I mean to care for no one Because I'm through with love Why did you lead me to think you could care? You didn't need me, you had your share Of slaves around you to hound you and swear With deep emotion, devotion to you Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It can never bring the thing that used to be For I must have you or no one And so I'm through with love

Sometimes I'm happy Sometimes I'm blue My disposition Depends on you I never mind The rain from the skies If I can find The sun in your eyes Sometimes I love you Sometimes I hate you But when I hate you It's 'cause I love you That's how I am So what can I do I'm happy when I'm with you

He's just found joy He's as happy as a baby boy With another brand new Choo-Choo toy When he's with his sweet Lorraine A pair of eyes That are bluer than the summer skies When you see them, you'll realise Why he love's his sweet Lorraine When it's raining He don't miss the sun For it's in his sweeties smile Just to think that he's the lucky one Who will lead her down the aisle Each night he prays That nobody steals her heart away Just can't wait until that happy day When he marries sweet Lorraine
7.
Day in-day out The same old voodoo follows me about The same old pounding in my heart Whenever I think of you and darling, I think of you Day in and day out Day out-day in I needn't tell you how my days begin When I awake I awaken with a tingle One possibility in view That possibility of maybe seeing you Come rain-come shine I meet you and to me the day is fine Then I kiss your lips and the pounding becomes The oceans roar, a thousand drums Can't you see it's love? Can there be any doubt When there it is, day in-day out?

When Sunny gets blue His eyes get gray and cloudy Then the rain begins to fall Pitter patter, pitter patter Love is gone so what can matter No sweet lover man comes to call When Sunny gets blue He breathes a sigh of sadness Like the wind that stirs the trees Wind that sets the leaves to swayin' Like some violins are playin' Weird and haunting melodies People used to love to Hear him laugh, see him smile That's how he got his name Since that sad affair He's lost his smile And changed his style Somehow he's not the same The memories still fade And pretty dreams will rise up Where his other dreams fell through Hurry, new love, hurry here To kiss away each lonely tear And hold him near when Sunny gets blue

Verse: Any flimsy dimsy looking for true love? Better smile me no good dearie good day Any flimsy dimsy looking for true love? Better catch him looking some other way For my kiss can be no evermore promised But a fancy dancy fiddle and free Any flimsy dimsy looking for true love? Better waste no time, no time on me Refrain: Never, never will I marry Never, never will I wed Born to wander solitary Wide my world, narrow my bed Never never never will I marry Born to wander 'til I'm dead No burden to bear No conscience, no care No memories to mourn No turning, for I was Born to wander solitary Wide my world, narrow my bed Never never never will I marry Born to wander 'til I'm dead

Verse: He's a fool and don't I know it But a fool can have his charms I'm in love and don't I show it Like a babe in arms Love's the same old sad sensation Lately I've not slept a wink Since this half-pint imitation Put me on the blink Refrain: I'm wild again Beguiled again A simpering whimpering child again Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I Lost my heart but what of it He is cold I agree He can laugh but I love it Although the laugh's on me I'll sing to him each spring to him And long for the day when I'll cling to him Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

Verse: 'Twas just a night like this, filled with bliss you led my heart astray 'Twas just a real sweet chance to learn romance, in a perfect way, It was the end of a perfect day, Say: Refrain: The moon was all aglow and heaven was in your eyes, The night that you told me those little white lies The stars all seemed to know That you didn't mean all those sighs The night that you told me, those little white lies. I try but there's no forgetting when evening appears I sigh, but there's no regretting in spite of my tears The Devil was in your heart, but heaven was in your eyes The night that you told me Those little white lies
