1. FLY ME TO THE MOON
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby , kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love ... you

2. A HUNDRED YEARS FROM TODAY
[Writers: J.Young/Washington/V.Young]
Hey don't save your kisses - just pass 'em around
You'll find my reason - is logically sound
Who's gonna know that you past them around
A hundred years from today
And why crave a penthouse - that's fit for a queen
You're nearer heaven - on mamma Earth's green
If you had millions - what would they all mean
One hundred years from today
So (Hey) laugh and sing - make love the thing
Be happy while you may
('Cause) There's always one - beneath the sun
Who's bound to make you feel that way
The moon is shining - and that's a (very) good sign
Cling to me closer - say (that) you'll be mine
Remember baby we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today
A hundred years from today

3. YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE
You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
That's Why I'll Always Stay Around
You Are The Apple Of My Eye
Forever You'll Stay In My Heart
I Feel Like This Is The Beginning
Though I've Loved You For A Million Years
And If I Thought Our Love Was Ending
I'd Find Myself Drowning In My Own Tears
CHORUS
You Must Have Known That I Was Lonely
Because You Came To My Rescue
And I Know That This Must Be Heaven
How Could So Much Love Be Inside Of You
CHORUS

4. WHY SHOULD I CRY OVER YOU
[Writers: Miller/Conn]
I don't know why I should - cry over you
Sigh over you - even be blue
I should have known - that you'd leave me alone
And break - my heart in two
Although you have left me - alone to pine
And all of my love was - a (big fat) waste of time
Someday your heart will be - broken like mine
So why should I cry over you
(You broke my heart - you took it apart)
(So pack up your baggage and beat it)
(- Why should I cry over you)

6. TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE
{Writers: Latouche/Fetter/Duke}
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now I'm taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
I got that grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
I'm in a grove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

7. STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wond'ring in the night what were the chances
We'd be sharing love before the night was through
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in you smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you
Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
and
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night

8. SOMEWHERE MY LOVE [LARA'S THEME]
Somewhere, my love, there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hopes of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again
Someday we'll meet again, my love
I said 'someday whenever that Spring breaks through'
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, and as soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again!

9. HIGH HOPES
'Have fun now, boys and girls. Relax.'
One, two
Words in {brackets} are sung by Frank AND children
(Next time you're found with your chin on the ground)
(There's a lot to be learned so look around)
Just what makes that little ole ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant?
Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant
{But he's got hi-i-igh hopes, he's got hi-i-igh hopes}
{He's got high apple pi-i-ie-in-the-sk-y-y hopes}
So, any time you're gettin' low, 'stead of lettin' go, just remember that ant
Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
(Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant)
{Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant}
(When troubles call and your back's to the wall)
(There a lot to be learned that wall could fall)
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram scram
He kept buttin' that dam
{'cause he had hi-i-igh hopes, he had hi-i-igh hopes}
{He had high apple pi-i-ie-in-the-sk-y-y hopes}
So, any time your feelin' bad, 'stead of feelin' sad, just remember that ram
Oops, there goes a billion-kilowatt dam
(Oops, there goes a billion-kilowatt dam)
{Oops, there goes a billion-kilowatt dam }
(A problem's just a toy balloon, they'll be bursted soon)
(They're just bound to go pop)
Oops, there goes another problem ker-plop
(Oops, there goes another problem ker-plop)
{Oops, there goes another problem ker-plop}
(Ker-plop!)
And a special version used for Jack Kennedy's 1960 Presidential election campaign:
Jack Kennedy
HIGH HOPES
Everyone is voting for Jack
'Cause he's got what all the rest lack
Everyone wants to back --Jack
'Cause he's got high hopes

'Cause he's got high hopes
He's got high hopes
Nineteen Sixty's the year for his high hopes.

Vote for Kennedy

10. I HAVE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
I've got you under my skin.
I've got you deep in the heart of me.
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me.
I've got you under my skin.
I'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
(Musical interlude)
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
Yes, I've got you under my skin.

11. A SINNER KISSED AN ANGEL
Stars in the sky were dancing, one night perfect for romancing,
The night a sinner kissed an angel, he wanted thrills, she wanted love,
Oh but his sighs were tender, as he begged her to surrender,
The night a sinner kissed an angel, and she believed that it was love.
How was she to know that every lovely vow was part of the game he was playing,
But to his surprise he realized somehow he meant every word he was saying.
Yes, miracles can happen, I know 'cause I saw what happened
That night a sinner kissed an angel, that was the night I fell in love.
VIDEO
12. BE CAREFUL IT'S MY HEART
Be careful, it's my heart,
It's not my watch you're holding, it's my heart.
It's not the note that I sent you that you quickly burn,
It's not the book I lent you that you never return.
Remember, it's my heart,
The heart with which so willingly I part
It's yours to take, to keep or break, but please, before you start,
Be careful, remember it's my heart.
Remember,
It's my heart,
This heart with which so willingly I part
It's yours to take, to keep or break, but please, before you start,
Be careful, be careful
be careful it's my heart!
