L.O.V.E. 04:13
I started to write this song about you And then I decided that I would write it all about love And it appeared to me That you wasn't happy And that's for sure, positively That's what the world is made of So give me more L-O-V-E, love Love is a walk down Main street (oh love) Love is an apple that is so sweet (love) Love is something that can't be beat (love) L-O-V-E is strange to me, oh I can't explain this feeling Can't you see that salvation is freeing It's all in the heavens, can't you see You can always depend on me To give you love Love is a flower in my soul (oh love) Love is a story that just can't be told (love) Can't you feel it burning more and more (love) Stop and look at the big wheel roll I can't explain this feeling Can't you see that salvation is freeing I would give my life for the glory Just to be able to tell the story About love I didn't mean to make you mad A sweet story, I thought I had But maybe time will bring us together And I can be such a happy fella About love Love is something that is so divine (oh love) Love is a feeling that's a friend of mine (love) It can't be measured by no sign (love) In your heart or even in your mind About love, Love is as bright as the morning sun

Estate 05:30
Estate You bath me in the glow of your caresses You turn my timid no to eager yeses You sweep away my sorrow with your sigh Estate Oh how your golden sunlight bends the willow Your blossoms send the perfume to my pillow Oh who could know you half as well as I I always feel you near me In every song the morning breeze composes In all the tender wonder of the roses Each time a setting sun smiles on the sea Estate And when you sleep beneath a snowy cover I'll keep you in my heart just like a lover And wait until you come again to me Estate Oh how your golden sunlight bends the willow Your blossoms send the perfume to my pillow Oh who could know you half as well as I I always feel you near me In every song the morning breeze composes In all the tender wonder of the roses Each time a setting sun smiles on the sea Estate And when you sleep beneath a snowy cover I'll keep you in my heart just like a lover And wait until you come again to me Estate

There will be many other nights like this And I'll be standing here with someone new There will be other songs to sing Another fall, another spring But there will never be another you There will be other lips that I may kiss But they won't thrill me like yours used to do Yes, I may dream a million dreams But how can they come true If there will never ever be another you? Yes, I may dream a million dreams But how can they come true If there will never ever be another you?

If you were mine I could be a ruler of kings And if you were mine I could do such wonderful things I'd say to a star Stop where you are Light up my lover's way And every star above you Would obey, say If you were mine I would live for your love alone To kneel at your shrine I would give up all that I own Yes even my heart Even my life I'd trade it all for you And think I was lucky too If you were mine

Did you say I've got a lot to learn? Well, don't think, I'm tryin' not to learn Since this is the perfect spot to learn Oh, teach me tonight Let's start with the A B C of it Roll right down to the X Y Z of it Help me solve the mystery of it Teach me tonight The sky's a black board High above you If a shooting star goes by I'll use that star to write I love you A thousand times across the sky One thing isn't very clear, my love Should the teacher stand so near, my love? Graduation's almost here, my love Come on and teach me tonight I'll use that star to write I love you A thousand times across the sky One thing isn't very clear, my love Should the teacher stand so near, my love? Graduation's almost here, my love Teach me, please, teach me tonight

A sailboat in the moonlight and you Wouldn't that be heaven A heaven just for two A soft breeze on a June night and you What a perfect setting For letting dreams come true A chance to sail away To Sweetheart Bay Beneath the stars that shine A chance to drift For you to lift Your tender lips to mine Some things dear That I long for are few Just give me a sailboat In the moonlight and you A chance to sail away To Sweetheart Bay Beneath the stars that shine A chance to drift For you to lift Your tender lips to mine Some things dear That I long for are few Just give me a sailboat In the moonlight and you

A day in the life of a fool A sad and a long lonely day I walk the avenue Hoping to run into The very sight of you coming my way I stop just in front of our door But you're never there any more So back to my room And here in the gloom I cry tears of goodbye Til you come back to me That's the way it will be Everyday in the life of a fool

I am not such a clever one about the latest fads I admit I was never one adored by local lads Not that I ever tried to be a saint I'm the type that they classify as quaint I'm old fashioned, I love the moonlight I love the old fashioned things The sound of rain upon a window pane The starry song that April sings This years fancies are passing fancies But sighing sighs, holding hands These my heart understands I'm old fashioned but I don't mind it That's how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me. I'm old fashioned but I don't mind it That's how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me.
