Quotes Foolish prideIs all that I have left, so let me hideThe tears and the sadness you gave meWhen you said goodbyeWalk on by Song Walk On By Mother told me always to follow the golden rule.And she said it's really a sin to be mean and cruel.So remember if you're untrueAngels up in heaven are looking at you. Song You'll Never Get To Heaven If You Break My Heart Every time you go away, I always sayThis time it's goodbye, dearLoving you the way I doI take you back, without you I'd die dearKnowing I love you so. Song Anyone Who Had A Heart I just don't know what to do with my timeI'm so lonesome for you it's a crimeGoing to the movie only makes me sadParties make me feel as badWhen I'm not with youI just don't know what to do Song I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself What do you get when you fall in love?You only get lies and pain and sorrowSo, for at least, until tomorrowI'll never fall in love again Song I'll Never Fall In Love Again The man who shot Liberty Valance,He was the bravest of them all. Song The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go,Just tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow. Song The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Pussycat, pussycat,You're so thrilling and I'm so willingto care for you.So go and make up you big little pussy cat eyes. Song What's New, Pussycat? Raindrops keep fallin' on my headAnd just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bedNothin' seems to fit Song Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head The way that we cheered whenever our team was scoring a touchdown,The time that the floor fell out of my car when I put the clutch down. Song Magic Moments I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me,And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be.Oh, how can I forget you?When there is always something there to remind me Song Always Something There to Remind me Oh, I was only twenty four hours from Tulsa,Ah, only one day away from your arms;I hate to do this to you but I love somebody new, what can I do?And I can never, never, never … go home again. Song Twenty Four Hours from Tulsa Are we meant to take more than we giveor are we meant to be kind?And if only fools are kind, Alfie,then I guess it's wise to be cruel. Song Alfie What the world needs now is love, sweet love, It's the only thing that there's just too little of. What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No not just for some but for everyone. Song What the World Needs Now is Love (1965) They mean a trip to Paris or RomeTo someone else but not for me.The trains and boats and planesTook you away, away from me. Song Trains and Boats and Planes On the day that you were bornThe angels got togetherAnd decided to create a dream come trueSo they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of goldAnd starlight in your eyes of blue. Song (They Long to be) Close to You Fame and fortune is a magnet.It can pull you far away from homeWith a dream in your heart you're never alone.Dreams turn into dust and blow awayAnd there you are without a friend Song Do You Know the Way to San Jose Day after dayThere are girls at the officeAnd men will always be men.Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers;You may not see him again.
