A blossom fell from off a tree
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me
The gypsies say and I know why
"A falling blossom only touches lips that lie"

A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied



A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied

Looking ba-a-ack over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

Looking ba-a-ack over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just ha-ad the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in retu-u-urn
Now I can't begin to te-ell you
What a lesson I have learned

Looking ba-a-ack over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea
There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me
There's a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea
And it cries "Come to me, come to me."

As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore
You are here in my arms for a moment or more
Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea
And it cries "Come to me, come to me."

But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea
As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully
As long as there's heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me

But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea
As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully
As long as there's heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me

(Gordon Jenkins)

That's all there is,
There isn't any more, my sweet.
I've gone about as far as I can go.

I realize the things you did
You had to do,
And they weren't so terribly bad to do.
But you shouldn't have told me,
I didn't want to know.

Maybe I tried too hard,
I thought that we could reach the sky.
I guess
The mountain was too high to climb
I put a sign that says, "FOR SALE"
On all my dreams
And a permanent lock on my door.

That's all there is,
There isn't any more.

But if you need me,
Call me, baby...
Call me.

Pretend you're happy when you're
blue
it isn't very hard to do
and you'll find happiness without an
end
whenever you pretend
remember anyone can dream
and nothing's as bad as it may seem
the little things you haven't got could
be a lot if you pretend
you'll find a love you can share
one you can call all your own
just close your eyes she'll be there
you'll never be alone
and if you sing this melody
you'll be pretending just like me
the world is mine it can be yours my
friend
so why don't you pretend

Night lights, those blues-in-the-night lights
Are no longer bright lights since I'm without you
Sweet dreams, oh where did they fly to?
You're gone and who can I cry to?

Those night lights remind me of bright eyes
And beautiful white lies too good to be true
As I go on my way with all my heart I pray
That those night lights will lead me to you



Those night lights remind me of bright eyes
And beautiful white lies too good to be true
As I go on my way with all my heart I pray
That those night lights will lead me to you

Because you're mine
The brightest star I see
Looks down, my love, and envies me
Because you're mine, because you're mine

Because you're mine
The breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody and why?
Because you're mine, because you're mine

I only know for as long as I may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me

And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because you're mine



I only know for as long as I may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me

And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because you're mine

I'd like to love you everyday,If I may (if I may).And dream dreams of you every night,If I might (if I might).
And if I may, I'd like to sayI wish that you were mine.If I had you, all I would doIs adore you all the time.
I'd like to tell you of your charms everyday,If I may (if I may).I'd like to hold you in my arms every night,If I might (if I might).
You're the object of my affections,And if you have no objections,I'd like to love you night and day,If I may.
