It's only a paper mo..

It is only
a paper moon
Hanging over
a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be
make believe
If you believed
in me
It is only
a canvas sky
Sailing over
a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be
make believe
If you believed in me
without your love
It's a
honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody
Played in a
penny arcade
It's a barnum
and bailey world
Just as phony as
it can be
But it wouldn't be
make believe
If you believed
in me-

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk
Parade
without your love
It's a melody played

Just as phony
as it can be

LOVE

L is for the way
you look at me
O is for the
only one I see
V is very very
extraordinary
E is even more
than anyone
that you
adore can
Love is all that
I can give to you
Love is more than
just a game for two
Two in love can
make it Take my heart
and please
don't break it
Love was made
for me and you

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa Mona Lisa
men have name you
You're
so like the lady
With the mystic smile
is it only
'Cause you're lonely
they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa
strangeness
In your smile
do you smile
To tempt a lover
Mona Lisa
Or is this your way
to hide a broken heart
Many dreams
have been brought
To your doorstep
they just lie there
And they die there
are you warm
Are you real Mona Lisa
or just a cold
And lonely
lovely work of art-

Do you smile

Or just a cold
and lonely
Lovely work of art

Pretend

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 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-

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-

Stardust

And now
the purple dusk
Of twilight time
steals across
The meadows
of my heart
High up in the sky
the little stars climb
Always reminding me
that we're apart
You wander down
the lane and far away
Leaving me a song
that will not die
Love is now
the stardust of
Yesterday
the music of the years
Gone by sometimes
I wonder why I spend
The lonely night
dreaming of a song
The melody hurts
my reverie
And I am once again
with you
When our love was new
and each kiss
An inspiration but
that was long ago
Now my consolation
is in the stardust
Of a song
beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
you are in my arms
The nightingale
tells his fairy tale
A paradise
where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
in my heart
It will remain
my stardust melody
The memory
of love's refrain-

The Christmas Song (..

Chestnuts roasting
on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping
at your nose
Yuletide carols
being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up
like Eskimos
Everybody knows
a turkey and
Some mistletoe
will help to make the
Season bright
tiny tots
With their eyes
all aglow
Will find it hard
to sleep tonight
They know
that santa's
On his way
He's loaded
Lots of toys
and goodies
On his sleigh
and every
Mother's child
is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
really know how to fly
And so I'm offering
this simple phrase
To kids from
one to 9 2
Although
it's been said
Many times
many ways
Merry christmas
to you-

Too Young

They try to tell us
we're too young
Too young to
really be in love
They say that love's
a word a word
We've
only heard
But can't begin to
know the meaning of
And yet we're not
too young to know
This love will last
though years may go
And then someday
they may recall
We were not
too young at all

And yet we're not
too young to know
This love will last
though years may go
And then someday
they may recall
We were not
too young at all
