1. _ Days Of Wine And Roses
<with a jauntier melody than andy williams' version>
The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through the meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before
The lone-ly night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you
<brief instrumental break>
The days of wine and roses
<more instrumental-rest of the first verse>
The lonely-----the night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

2. _ Way You Look Tonight, The
Some day, when i'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'cause i love you ... just the way you look tonight.
Mm, mm, mm, mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

3. _ Moon River
moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
You dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going i'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbows end
Waiting round the band
My huckleberry friend, moon river
And me

4. _ The Continental
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It's something daring, the continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra-new
It's very subtle, the continental
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance
You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, ooh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and so sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with her and she's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the continental all the time
<brief instrumental>
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the continental all the time
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
The continental!

5. _ Secret Love
Secret love
Once i had a secret love that lived within the heart of me,
All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free.
So i asked a friendly star the way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are and why i'm so in love with you.
Now i shout it from the highest hill, even told the golden daffodils,
And now my heart's an open door, and my secret love's no secret any more.

6. _ All The Way
Writer(s): cahn/van heusen
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure i'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

7. _ Love Is A Many-splendored Thing
Love is a many-splendored thing,
It's the april rose that only grows in the early spring,
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.
Lost on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still,
When our fingers touch my silent heart has taught us how to sing,
Yes, true love's a many-splendored thing.

8. _ It Might As Well Be Spring
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I'd say that i had spring fever
But i know it isn't spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
O why should i have spring fever
When it isn't even spring
I keep i were someone else
Walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that i've never head
From a girl i've yet to meet
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams
Spinning spinning daydreams
I'm as giggy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
But i feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
It might as
Well be
Spring

9. _ Swingin On A Star
Writer(s): burke/van heusen
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny - and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a - stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He ain't got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy - and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
He cant write his name or read a book
And to fool the people is his only thought
Though he slippery - he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star

10. _ In The Cool, Cool, Cool Of The Evening
Sue wants a barbecue, sam wants to boil a ham,
Grace votes for bouillabaisse stew
Jake wants a weinie bake, steak and the layer cake,
And he'll get a tummy ache too.
We'll rent a tent or a teepee, let the town crier cry.
And if it's R.S.V.P., this is what i'll reply.
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, tell 'em i'll be there,
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, better save a chair.
Oh, when the party's a-getting a glow on, and singing fills the air,
In the shank of the night when the doing's all right,
You can tell 'em i'll be there.
(musical interlude)
Oh when the party's a-getting a glow on, and the singing fills the air,
In the shank of the night when the doing's all right,
You can tell them i'll be there.
In the shank of the night when the doing's all right,
You can tell them i'll be there.

11. _ Three Coins In The Fountain
Writer(s): styne/chan
Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless
Three hearts it a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine
Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine
