When is sometime?
How many days until sometime?
For my dreams make it clear that my lover is near
And she ought to be here about sometime
Who is someone?
Who is this wonderful someone?
Oh, I’m keeping my heart strings in tune
And hoping that sometime is [...]

Where is the one who’ll end the search I’m making?
Where is the one who’ll change my dream to waking?
Behind some far-off secret door
There’s my love, there’s my life in store
The journey’s long, much longer than I reckoned
In any throng, I’ll know [...]

While the Angelus was ringing, calling for the evening pray’r,
I could hear the choir singing and I saw you standing there.
Silently I stood beside you, how my heart was beating then,
For my dreams have all come true, I was safely back [...]

Why can’t you behave? Oh, why can’t you behave?
After all the things you told me, and those promises that you gave,
Oh, why can’t you behave?
Why can’t you be good? And do just as you should?
Won’t you turn that new leaf over, [...]

Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart afire to stay.
Once you’re kissed by Amy, tear up your list it’s Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours [...]

I’ll hear heavenly music,
I’ll hear bells start to chime,
I’ll hear thunder, and I’ll be struck with wonder
But I won’t have to look a second time.
If her voice is a song, and her walk is a dance,
And if her laugh is warm [...]

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger,
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
And somehow you know, you know even then,
That somehow you’ll see here again and again.
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,
You may hear her laughing across [...]

She’s a sunflower, she’s my one flower,
She’s the flower of my heart.
I was born in Kansas, Iowa, bred in Kansas,
And when I get married, I’ll be wed in Kansas
There’s a true-blue gal who promised she would wait,
She’s a sunflower from the [...]

There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye, but very wise was he
And then one day, a magic day he passed my way
And [...]

Night after night I cry myself to sleep,
And night after night, I count the tears I weep.
It’s easy to get through the days, the days go fast,
But when they’re past, that moon comes on
And you’re gone, and you’re gone.
Night after night [...]
