People tell you that you can't find love
Or you'll never find your turtle dove
Don't believe a word of what they say
'Cause when I met you, my love
I knew, I knew it had happened to me
It's happened to me
You can tell by the way I walk
Or even tell it when I talk
& I'm so proud it's plain to see
'Cause when I met you, my love
I knew, I knew it had happened to me
It's happened to me
I don't mind telling everyone
I'm proud to say you're my only one
(x2):
So if they you that you can't find love
Or you'll never find your turtle dove
Don't believe a word of what they say
'Cause when I met you, my love
I knew, I knew it had happened to me
It's happened to me
It's happened to me
Pretend
(Douglas/Parman/LaVere/Belloc)
Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
& you will find happiness without an end if you'll pretend
Remember, anyone can dream
& nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got could mean a lot if you'll pretend
Bridge:
You'll find the love you can share
& you can call your own
Just close your eyes, it be there
You'll never be alone
& if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
Well, what's mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?
(instrumental)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat verse 3, then repeat its last line twice)
It's all right when you say that you're my girl
It's all right when you're holdin' my hand
It's all right when you say you love only me
It's all right knowin' you understand
It's all right when you whisper sweet words to me
It's all right when I'm kissin' you
It's all right just to know that you're mine
It's all right to say that I'm in love with you
Bridge:
Little things don't matter anymore
'Cause you know I love you, that's for sure
It's all right just to know that my love is true
It's all right when I'm telling you
It's all right just to feel the way that I do
It's all right to know that it's all right with you
(instrumental)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat verse 3, then repeat its last line)
Your smile can make the darkness turn to light
Your eyes make gold & silver not so bright
Your hair's as soft as a summer night
You've got what I like
You say the things I always wanted to
You walk just like an angel out of the blue
& when you hold me, my life starts anew
You've got what I like
(x2):
You've got the kind of lips I long to kiss
& when we go on dates now, endless bliss
You make a desert island come to life
You make the whole wide world seem free from strife
You are the one I'm gonna make my wife
You've got what I like
You've got what I like
You've got what I like
Please, please be mine all of the time
& try to show me that you care
I, I'll be true, true just to you
As long as you show me that you care
(x2):
I'll make you happy in my arms
But you must shower me with charms
Day after day, I'll love you, come what may
As long as you show me that you care
As long as you show me that you care
Do you ever stop & think why I love you?
Do you ever stop & think why I think of you?
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true
Do you ever stop & think what makes me feel this way?
Do you ever stop & think why I love you more each day?
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true
Bridge:
When I'm with you, the things we do
Mean so very much to me
Do you ever stop & think when our love will end
Is it just a passing phase? No, it will never end
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true
(instrumental)
It's just because, it's just because
It's just because our love is true
(repeat bridge)
(repeat verse 3)
It's just because our love is true
What makes me love you this way?
Oh what makes our love grow each day?
What makes the sun shine so brightly?
It's you, you you you
Who tells the flowers when to grow?
Oh & who melts away the winter snow?
Whose love for me will always soar?
It's you, you you you
When I'm feeling sad & blue
& I don't know what to do
I think about our love & you
Who turns the nighttime into day?
Oh it's you, you you you
It's you, you you you
I'll wait for you through rain or shine
I'll wait for you 'cause I know you're mine
& though you're far away, you know I'll always say
I'll wait for you 'cause I know you're mine
I'll wait for you every day
I'll wait for you when you're away
'Cause when you're near me with your hand in mine
I know I'll wait till the end of time
Bridge:
I know you're never far away from me
No matter where you go
I'll do my waitin' till you're back to me
Because I love you so
(repeat verse 2, then repeat its last line twice)
Love me till the end of time
Till the seas run dry
Till the flowers forget to bloom
Till the sun don't shine
While there's people here on earth
While there's stars above
Oh I beg of you, my dear
Give me all your love
Give me all your love all of the time
As the wind that blows evermore, evermore
Till the moon has lost its glow
In the heavens above
Oh I beg of you, my dear
Give me all your love
Give me all your love all of the time
As the wind that blows evermore, evermore
Give me all your love
Walk hand in hand with me
Through all eternity
Have faith, believe in me
Give me your hand
Love is a symphony
Of perfect harmony
When lovers such as we
Walk hand in hand
Be not afraid, for I am with you all the while
Lift your head up high & look towards the sky
(x2):
Walk hand in hand with me
This is our destiny
No greater love could be
Give me your hand, walk with me
Now dreams can be such funny things, they also can be sad
The dream I had the other night made me feel so bad
I saw my baby with a guy whose face I couldn't see
& when he turned around, it wasn't me
Dreams can be the answer to many people's prayer
But to me the other night, they only brought despair
If I could only see his face again
I might've known where my baby could've been
If dreams come true, as they sometimes do
Then I'll be afraid to dream again
In case she's with another & he's my friend
So I hope when I'd awake out of that dream I'd find
Nobody had taken her & I'd have peace of mind
But a dream last night I was out of luck again
So I suppose that everything's the same
Yes a dream last night I was out of luck again
So I suppose that everything's the same
Now I'm gonna try & find a girl
Who will make me feel so good
& when I do, I'll sing this song
& I know I'll love her like I should
I'll sing:
CHORUS:
La la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
Whenever I am lonely, girl
& I got no place to go
I don't sit around & mope all day
I get up & here's what I say
I say:
(chorus)
You get no fun out of hangin' around
Or moanin' every day & night
It's so much better if you take it off
You cannot sit & fuss & fight
Well let me hear you now:
(chorus)
If you got your troubles just like all the other guys
Don't be a jerk like them, my friend
Just shout this & your mouse & hide
Let's shout:
(chorus)
La la la la la
I stand out of sight & watch as the light
From the sun shines through her hair
From yonder she came, I don't know her name
Still I love that girl on a swing
CHORUS:
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
Take all the hate from the world that we're in
Girl on a swing, swing high
Girl on a swing, swing low
& you can cast all your troubles to the wind
She comes with the light then goes with the night
Oh my heart just yearns, but then comes the dawn & she returns
(chorus)
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
To think that you were mine, I never thought you'd be so wild
You played around with everyone anytime at all
I thought you were bein' friendly when you took them home to tea
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
When I used to ring you & you said you were ill in bed
I should've realized, yes you were ill but in your head
There's only one thing left for me to say, it's this, my friend:
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
Life, I know, is not a dream
A dream of your A T
But must you go & try to make some kind of monkey out of me?
If this life you're livin' suits your temperament & your face
I'm ever tryin' to change it, I will leave you in disgrace
There's only one thing left for me to say, it's this, my friend:
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
I've been a fool, yes a fool to myself
