First
Verse
'Tis many years today since we were married,
just twenty years
of happiness and bliss, and from each others side we've never
tarried, I'm mighty proud, my dear, to tell you this.
Second
Verse
Do you recall the day
I brought the ring, dear? love's sweetest
story then to you I told, remember when I placed it on your
finger, I said that you were worth your weight in gold.
Chorus
You're the same old girl, I
really must admit that you're the
same old girl, you haven't changed a bit, altho' today you're
somewhat gray, it's easy to be seen, you're sweeter now at
forty than you were at sweet sixteen, and you're the same
old girl for years, my dear, it seems that you're the same old
girl I've worshipped in my dreams, and I love you as I never
loved before, what's more: even tho' we're young no longer,
bless your heart, my love is stronger, for the same old girl.

Verse
Nothing but shadows and sorrow, where sunshine
and gladness
should be, I'm longing just for tomorrow, then I know you'll
come back to me.

I know I'll never forget you, tho' you
think that you will forget,
God is so just he won't let you, and some day he'll make
you regret.
Chorus
Some day you'll be sorry then
you'll plead in vain, when you've
learned to yearn, you'll turn right back to me again, think of
all the sorrow, you have made me bear, but God will send you
back in the end, some day I'll make you care.

the same I love him still with all my heart and soul, tell him
so.

Fairy Moon to you I'm sighing, Fairy Moon,
to you I'm
crying, for you know my heart's own secrets, and I crave

First
Verse
A dear little girl and a dear little boy
looked out at the
drizzling rain, and tears filled her eyes and ran down her
cheeks, like the drops on the window pane; so he said:
"Don't you cry, you will see bye and bye, that a rainbow
bright will shine on high, there are always rain clouds
in the sky, and I'll tell you sweetheart why:"
Second
Verse
The dear little girl and the dear little
boy grew up as most
children do, and one summer day they went wandering
away, on the road that makes one of two; she was sweet
he was good, and they loved as they should, till a dark
cloud came, do what they could, but she said she'd make
up if he would, for she always understood:
Chorus
'Cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine,
like the tear
drops come with the smiles; but the troubles never come
all at one time, just wait a little while, remember, flowers
couldn't grow without rain, dear, happiness we share with
the pain, dear, 'cause it takes a little rain with the sunshine to
make the world go around.

First
Verse
She wanted to roam so she left the old home, The old
people's hearts were sore, she longed for the sights
and the bright city lights where hundreds had gone before.
She went to the heart of the city and mingled with strangers
there, but nobody said "You are being misled" for what
did the stranger care.
Second
Verse
A year passes by, there's a tear in her eye, and sorrow
is
on her brow, Oh! what would she do if the old people
knew, she couldn't go back home now. Her dear mother
said when they parted "Remember your good old name"
then her daddy said "Rather we'd see you dead than
bring us disgrace and shame."
Chorus
In the heart of the city that has no heart that's
where they
meet, and that's where they part, the current of vice had
proved too strong so the poor little girlie just drifted along
nobody cared if she lived or died nobody cared if she
laughed or cried, she's just lost a sister and nobody's
missed her, she's there in the city where there's no pity
in the city that has no heart.

First
Verse
When all nature goes to sleep, Master Cupid starts
to
peep; love chimes ringing love's sweet song, happy
hours, for the birds and flowers; time for love is drawing
near, mating time is here; now that day is done, two hearts
beat as one, while the moon and stars appear.
Second
Verse
Hark to the songs of the whippoor wills, while the
sun
sets over the hills touch of nature makes all kin, hearts
are filled with pleasure every lover's treasure; children
close their drowsy eyes, dew falls from the skies, seems
from everywhere, sweethearts here and there, life's a dream
of Paradise
Chorus
Shades of night are falling, hear the love birds calling
from
trees above, sweethearts silhouetting, time and care
forgetting, in the spell of love. Twinkle, twinkle little love
star, twinkle while the moon beams with delight, nighttime
casting shadows over golden meadows love time comes
with shades of night.

First
Verse
From afar in the sky stars were gleaming the moon
softly
shone from above, happy was I in my dreaming, happy in
dreams of love; in your eyes then the lovelight was
beaming, yearning was my heart for thee, clasped in your
arms "One Wonderful Night" You told me you loved me.
Second
Verse
Seems I hear in the twilight your calling, I watch,
dear, and
wait there for you, softly like dew that is falling, comes
back a love we knew; then I know by the throb of my heart,
dear, just why I'm longing for thee, I can't forget "One
Wonderful night" You told me you loved me.
Chorus
Love me, love me again, won't you love me again? My
heart's
yearning, I'm lonely, I love, love you only; dreaming, dreaming
of you, always dreaming of you, take me back once again, dear,
to "One wonderful night."
