If you're feeling fancy free Come wander through the world with me And any place we chance to be Will be a rendez-vous Two for the road We'll travel down the years Collecting precious memories Selecting souvenirs And living life the way we please In summertime the sun will shine In winter we'll drink summer wine And everyday that you are mine Will be a lovely day As long as love still wears a smile I know that we'll be two for the road And that's a long, long while

Speak Low 02:34
Speak low when you speak, love Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon Speak low when you speak, love Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon Speak low, darling, speak low Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon Time is so old and love so brief Love is pure gold and time a thief We're late, darling, we're late The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon I wait, darling, I wait Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon
3.
Hands across the table while the lights are low Though you hush your lips, your finger tips Tell me what I want to know Hands across the table meet so tenderly And they say in their little way That you belong to me

How can I but remember this delight Wherever I go, whatever I do The magic of this oriental night And you Strange enchantment fills the moonrise There’s a breeze like sandalwood and wine Strange enchantment lies in your eyes Saying “Please, oh please tonight be mine.” When the moon has gone in the blue dawn And we go wandering apart Darling I’ll be dreaming of this moment With a strange enchantment in my heart
6.
I took one look at you That's all I meant to do And then my heart stood still My feet could step and walk My lips could move and talk And yet my heart stood still Though not a single word was spoken I could tell you knew That unfelt clasp of hands Told me so well you knew I never lived at all Until the thrill of that moment when My heart stood still
7.
There may be trouble ahead But while there's music and moonlight and love and romance Let's face the music and dance Before the fiddlers have fled Before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have that chance Let's face the music and dance Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different tune - and then... There may be teardrops to shed So while there's music and moonlight and love and romance Let's face the music and dance
8.
The summer smiles, the summer knows And unashamed, she sheds her clothes The summer smoothes the restless sky And lovingly she warms the sand On which you lie The summer knows, the summer's wise She sees the doubts within your eyes And so she takes her summertime Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger Twists the world 'round her summer finger Lets you see the wonder of it all And if you've learned your lesson well There's little more for her to tell One last caress It's time to dress For fall

Midnight Sun 04:50
Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice Warmer than the summer night The clouds were like an alabaster palace Rising to a snowy height Each star its own Aurora Borealis Suddenly you held me tight I could see the midnight sun I can't explain the silver rain that found me Or was that a moonlit vale? The music of the universe around me Or was that a nightingale? And then your arms miraculously found me Suddenly the sky turned pale I could see the midnight sun Was there such a night? It's a thrill I still don't quite believe But after you were gone There was still some stardust on my sleeve The flame of it made dwindle to an ember And the stars forget to shine And we may see the meadow in December Icy white and crystalline But oh my darling, always I'll remember When your lips were close to mine And we saw the midnight sun
10.
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December But the days grow short when you reach September When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame One hasn't got time for the waiting game Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few September, November And these few precious days I'll spend with you These precious days I'll spend with you
11.
Do, Do, Do 03:53
I remember the bliss Of that wonderful kiss I knew that a boy Could never have more joy From any little miss I remember it quite 'Twas a wonderful night Oh, how I'd adore it If we could encore it Oh, do, do, do What you've done Done, done before, baby Do, do, do What I do Do, do adore, baby Let's try again Sigh again Fly again to heaven Baby, see It's A, B, C I love you And you love me I know, know, know What a beau, beau, beau Should do, baby So don't, don't, don't Say it won't, won't, won't Come true, baby My heart begins to hum Dum, de, dum De, dum, dum, dum So do, do, do What you've done Done, done before Sweets we've tasted before Cannot stand an encore You know that a miss Who always gives a kiss Would soon become a bore I can't see that at all True love never should pall I was only teasing What you did was pleasing Oh, do, do, do What you've done Done, done before, baby Do, do, do What I do Do, do adore, baby Let's try again Sigh again Fly again to heaven Baby, see It's A, B, C I love you And you love me I know, know, know What a beau, beau, beau Should do, baby So don't, don't, don't Say it won't, won't, won't Come true, baby My heart begins to hum Dum, de, dum De, dum, dum, dum So do, do, do What you've done Done, done before

From moment to moment, every moment that I live I live for every moment with you To see you, to touch you, to imagine this will be The moment when a dream comes true Just an ordinary day becomes adventure Such sweet adventure I never knew And life will be rainbows as I learn the secret of The miracle that love can do From moment to moment with you
13.
Why are there so many Songs about rainbows And what's on the other side Rainbow's are visions But only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told and some choose to believe it But I know they're wrong wait and see Someday we'll find it The Rainbow Connection The lovers, the dreamers and me Who said that every wish Would be heard and answered When wished on the morning star Somebody thought of that And someone believed it Look what it's done so far What's so amazing That keeps us star gazing And what do we think we might see Someday we'll find it That Rainbow Connection The lovers the dreamers and me Have you been half asleep And have you heard voices I've heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound that call's the young sailors The voice might be one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it Its something that I'm supposed to be Someday we'll find it The Rainbow Connection The lovers, the dreamers and me
