Letra
You must remember this, A kiss is just a kiss, A sigh is just a sigh, The fundamental things apply, As time goes by. And when two lovers woo, They still say "i love you," On that you can rely, No matter what the future brings, As time goes by. Moonlight and love songs, Never out of date, Hearts full of passion, Jealousy and hate, Woman needs man, and man must have his mate, There's no one can deny. It's still the same old story, A fight for love and glory, A case of do or die, The world will always welcome lovers, As time goes by. - Draw Me a Circle2:13
Letra
Draw me a circle that's perfectly round One curving line, simple and fine Now add two ears, and a lopsided nose, And if you care, add some hair Now draw two eyes and make them bright Because they've just seen a beautiful sight Sketch in a mouth with a radiant grin One coming deep from within You've drawn me a circle and now that you're through, It's a picture of me after being with you... - It Had to Be You2:45
Letra
Seems like dreams like I always had Could be, should be making me glad Why am I blue? It's up to you to explain I'm thinking maybe, baby, I'll go away Someday, some way, you'll come and say it's you I need And you'll be pleading in vain It had to be you, had to be you I wondered around, finally found somebody who Could make me be true, could make me be blue And even be glad just to be sad Thinking of you Some others I've seen Might never be mean, might never be cross I tried to be boss, but they wouldn't do 'Cause nobody else gave ma a thrill With all your faults I love you still Had to be you, crazy old you, had to be you - Make Believe2:40
- I Had Myself a True Love4:24
Letra
I had myself a true love A true love who was something to see I had myself a true love At least that's what I kept on telling me The first thing in the morning I still try to think of a way to be with him Some part of the evening And that's the way I live through the day I had myself a true love, but now he's gone And left me for good The lord knows I don't hear those back yard Whispers going round the neighborhood There maybe a lot of things I miss A lot of things I don't know But I do know this, now I ain't got no love And once upon a time I had a true love In the evening, in the doorway While I stand there and wait for his coming With the house swept and the clothes hung And a pot on the stove where I had meal Where is he while I waste the rising newel? Where is he? Why'd he gone so soon? Now there ain't no way that it used to be, what now? And everybody keeps telling me There are may be a lot of things I miss A lot of things I don't know But I do know this now... I ain't got no love And once upon a time I had a true love.
