1. Diana (2:18) - The tempo is moderately fast. More often in a relationship, the guy is older. But in this case, the gal is the narrator's senior, probably by about 10 years. He doesn't care about the age gap or what people think; he asks her to stay beside him forever.
2. Put Your Head On My Shoulder (2:33) - This moderately slow, 12/8 song features chimes, a guitar, and a piano, but I mostly hear drums and vocals. Love may be a losing game, but the narrator is deeply enough in love with the girl not to care if he's a fool rushing in. He asks her to rest on his shoulder, whisper in his hear, and tell him she loves him. Just before the end, the song slows down temporarily, then resumes normal tempo.
3. Lonely Boy (2:22) - My favorite of Paul's songs. This song is 12/8 also and slightly slower than the previous song. The narrator has all he could want as far as material goods, but he's dying for a special woman. He prays every night that such a woman will come to him. Good luck, pal; I hope your prayers are answered.
4. Time To Cry (2:28) - This song has the same tempo as "Put Your Head." The time for a guy to cry is when his girlfriend leaves him.
5. Puppy Love (2:44) - Here's yet another slow, 12/8 song. The narrator and his sweetie are 17 years old. Because of their youth, other people think their relationship is neither serious nor likely to last. The narrator prays for a way to convince them otherwise.
6. I Love You In The Same Old Way (2:26) - This song, somewhat faster than moderate, features horns. The narrator and the girl are grown now, but he still loves her as much as he did when they were teenagers. He fondly reminisces on the days when they wore bobby-sox and blue jeans, babysat the girl's kid brother, and did many other things together.
7. You Are My Destiny (2:27) - This slow song features orchestral string instruments. The girl and the narrator are destined to be together forever. She shares all his happy moments, and all his sad ones too. The song slows down as it ends.
8. Crazy Love (2:25) - Here's yet another slow, 12/8 song. Instruments here include a piano and horns. From the line "What must I do to get through to you" and some that follow, I guess the girl has left the narrator, but he still loves her and is trying to persuade her to come back.
9. Don't Ever Leave Me (2:19) - Paul sure must have a fondness for the slow, 12/8 beat. This song features orchestral strings and chimes. If the girl ever leaves the narrator, he'll cry.
10. Summer's Gone (2:22) - This song is even slower than the slow ones before it. The drums play softly and only in the right speaker. Other instruments include a piano, strings, and chimes. Autumn has come for the narrator because his girlfriend has left him. Though she's no longer in his arms and their lips no longer meet, she's still in his heart.
11. Adam And Eve (2:11) - This fast song features a saxophone. The first line is "In the Garden of Eden," but at first listen it sounds like "In La Gagga La Vida"! Yes, I've heard the story of A. and E. before; most people have. I like how that final beat of the bass drum floats up and down.
12. Don't Gamble With Love (2:22) - The tempo is moderate. For the first 7 seconds, the bass, chimes and drums play softly. Near the 1:30 mark, the key rises a half step and orchestral strings play lead on the middle instrumental. Apparently, by "gambling with love," the narrator means being untrue to one's spouse or special someone. Near the end, the song slows down temporarily.
13. I'm Still Waiting Here For You (2:32) - This slow song, featuring violins, both opens and closes with the backup singers singing, "You didn't even say goodbye." The girl left the narrator quite a while ago, but he still loves her and begs her to come back. Only if she comes back will he stop waiting for her.
14. I Love You Baby (2:21) - This very fast song features horns and bells. Everywhere the narrator walks, he finds pairs of birds, bees, and every other species in love. When walking by a store, he still hears the music he and his ex-girlfriend used to listen to when they were a couple. He walks by the same tree under which they used to kiss. Though they are now apart, he still loves her.
15. It Doesn't Matter Anymore (1:49) - The tempo is fast. In the left speaker I hear drums and a guitar, while backup vocals and a xylophone fill the right. This song was also a hit for Buddy Holly, whose version I'd heard long before I knew that Paul had sung or written it.
16. Tonight My Love, Tonight (2:04) - This moderate-tempoed song features orchestral strings. The narrator is so hungry for affection from the girl that he begs her to hold him and kiss him that very night. From the line "The mandolins are playing," I guess one is playing among the instruments of this song. I like how Paul sings the phrase "kiss me" three times in succession.
17. My Home Town (2:04) - The tempo is moderate. The drums play almost in military style, to fit a walking pace; they're more audible in the right speaker than the left. Female backup vocals appear in the right speaker only. As the narrator strolls through the city he grew up in, he hears in his mind birds singing and bells ringing; just why, he doesn't know. The "ay yi yi ya" scat singing represents the bird chirping.
18. Cinderella (2:01) - This fast song opens chimes and also includes bells, just the kind of instruments that would accompany fairy tales. Again, female backup vocals fill the right speaker. Just like the fairy-tale girl whose coach would collapse at midnight, the narrator and his girlfriend suddenly realize that it's past their own midnight curfew and anticipate a scolding from her parents. Even if it's their last date, he's sure their love will still last.
19. Love Land (2:13) - This moderately fast song features chimes and horns. The narrator envisions his own little country where there are no taxes, prices, or norms, just "true love and honesty." Hip, hip, hooray for...Love Land, USA? Hey, I thought this was a separate country! Oh well, "pack your heart and hurry up" if you wanna move there.
20. Dance On Little Girl (1:49) - This song, featuring chimes and orchestral strings, has a similar tempo to the previous one. The narrator and the girl used to be a couple. But she has found a new man with whom she now dances to the same song to which she and the narrator used to dance. Now, with tears in his eyes, he begs her to dance out of his heart.
21. The Longest Day (1:58) - This is a moderate-speed marching tune. "The longest day in history" probably isn't the summer solstice (when the sun rises its earliest and sets its latest), but rather the day when, for thousands of soldiers, time seems to pass more slowly than any previous day in their lives, as they march to a battle from which some won't make it back.
