Lyrics: Felice Mancini
Recorded by: The Carpenters

Sometimes,
not often enough,
we reflect upon the good things
and those thoughts always center
around those we love

And I think about those people
who mean so much to me
and for so many years
have made me so very happy

And I count the times
I have forgotten
to say, “Thank you,”
and just how much
I love them

Wake up,
The morning’s over.
The bed is soft and warm,
Where we lay.

I’ve dreamed the whole night through,
Of how I’d say to you,
All the things,
My heart wants to say.

Last night,
You heard me crying,
‘Cause I had never loved a man,
Before.

And I guess the tears were falling,
‘Cause the little girl was lost,
But now love,
I’m not crying any more.

This girl has turned into a woman.
And I’ve dreamed of this moment,
All my life.

This girl has turned into a woman.
And I thank you,
For your tenderness,
Last night.

I’ve never seen a man,
Lying on my pillow.
I’ve never seen your body,
Without clothes.

I can’t believe,
These feelings I’ve discovered.
Though I’m sure it’s just,
What every lover knows.

Now I’m offering to you,
I make a promise,
And love is gone tomorrow,
Don’t pretend.

But right now I’m in love,
And that’s all I’m thinking of.
And I hope this feeling,
Never ever ends.

This girl has turned into a woman.
And I’ve dreamed of this moment,
All my life.
This girl has turned into a woman.
And I thank you,
For your tenderness last night.

And I want to love you,
Once again,
Tonight.

My morning starts to shine
With teardrops in my eyes
And here I am alone starting to realize
That my days would be brighter
If I could learn to hide
The feeling that I have for you
Keeps haunting me inside

Then my days begin
With simple thoughts of you
Hoping that tomorrow will be me and you
Sharing dreams with each other
And making them come true
Holding one another, saying all I need is you

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you

Now my nights would end
With just one wish, that’s you
To hold me in the dark
And help me make it through
‘Cause the pain that’s inside me
Would simply melt away
If I had you here with me
And promise me you’d stay

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when I need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
(Ooh) This I swear is true
My love will always be with you
My love will always
My love will always ooh, ooh
My love will always be with you

From “The Music Man”
Words & Music by: Meredith Wilson
Recorded by: Anita Bryant (1959)

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you
Till there was you

Kristin Chenoweth singing Till There Was You:

Recorded by Ray Parker Jr.

I was wrong when I hurt you
But did you have to hurt me too
Did you think revenge will make it better?
I don’t care about the past
I just want our love to last
There’s a way to bring us back together

CHORUS:
I must forgive you (I must forgive you)
You must forgive me too (we must have to try)
If you wanna try to put things back the way they used to be
(honey let’s start again)
‘Cause there’s no sense in going over and over
The same things as before
So let’s not bring the past back anymore
(no looking back, we can’t look back)
(honey let’s start again)

Out of all the good we had
You only keep track of the bad
Though you knew I never really loved her
Didn’t anyone tell you yet?
That to forgive is to forget
How can you be mad if you don’t remember?

CHORUS:
I must forgive you (I must forgive you)
You must forgive me too (we must have to try)
If you wanna try to put things back the way they used to be
(honey let’s start again)
‘Cause there’s no sense in going over and over
The same things as before
So let’s not bring the past back anymore
(no looking back, we can’t look back)
(honey let’s start again)

I must forgive you
And you must forgive me too
It’s the only thing that’s left that we haven’t try to do
One thing I’m sure will work
That we haven’t tried before
Let’s not bring the past back anymore
(no looking back, no looking back)
(honey let’s start again)

Lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman
Recorded by Johnny Mathis and Jane Olivor

Hello, I don’t even know your name,
but I’m hopin’ all the same
this is more than just a simple hello.

Hello, do I smile and walk away?
No, I think I’ll smile and stay
to see where this might go.

‘Cause the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love,
falling and feeling
I’d never fall in love again.
Yes, the last time I felt like this
was long before I knew
what I’m feeling now with you.

Hello, I can’t wait till we’re alone,
somewhere quiet on our own
so that we can fall the rest of the way.

I know that before the night is thru,
I’ll be talking love to you,
meaning ev’ry word I say.

‘Cause the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love,
falling and feeling
I’d never fall in love a-gain.
Yes, the last time I felt like this
was long before I knew
what I’m feeling now with you.

Oh, the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love,
falling and feeling
I’d never fall in love again.
Yes, the last time I felt like this,
was long before I knew
what I’m feeling now with you.

Oh, the last time I felt like this
I was falling in love,
falling and feeling
I’d never fall in love again.
Yes, the last time I felt like this,
was long before I knew
what I’m feeling now with you.

I’ve had my share of life’s ups and downs
But fate’s been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I’ve been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it’s all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you’ll be there between each line of pain and glory
‘Cause you’re the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
‘Cause for every moment that I’ve spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, oh, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you’ll be there between each line of pain and glory
‘Cause you’re the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you’re the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

Lyrics by John Denver
Recorded by John Denver

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
I’d give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I’d sing a song to make you feel this way

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

If I had a tale that I could tell you
I’d tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I’d make a wish for sunshine all the while

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high
Sunshine almost always…

Love Theme from “The Godfather”
Lyrics & Music by Larry Kusik & Nino Rota
Recorded by Andy Williams (1972)

Speak softly love and hold me warm against your heart
I feel your hands, the tender, trembling moments start
We’re in a world our very own
Sharing a love that only few have ever known

Wine colored days, warmed by the sun
Deep velvet nights, when we are one

Speak softly love, so no one hears us but the sky
The vows of love we make will live until we die
My life is yours, and all because…
You came into my world with love, so softly love

Theme from the movie, “Somewhere in Time” (1980)
Music: John Barry / variation of Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

Somewhere in time,
we met on timeless hills.
And in the evening midst we kissed,
and time stood still;

Before the dawn,
we found forever…
Moments are timeless when
I feel your caress;

Love never goes…
once it has touched your heart…
just like the scent of wine,
that’s left as two lips part;

The taste of love
will linger after…
I find a meaning now
in all that I see;

You’re always here
inside of me and…
I know where love is true,
it’s always with you;

Somewhere in time,
I came to realize…
love never (dies) goes

Nonoy Zuñiga’s version of Somewhere in Time:
