By Vic Damone
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joys that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
(Instrumental)
Look into my eyes my love and see
All the lovely things you are to me
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joys that love can bring
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
###
By Tony Bennet
Yesterday I heard the rain
Whispering your name
Asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds
On the silent crowds
As I wandered on
Out of doorways black umbrellas
Came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed
Were looking through me
No one knew me
Yesterday I shut my eyes
Face up to the skies
Drinking in the rain
But your image still was there
Floating in the air
Brighter than a flame
Yesterday I saw a city
Full of shadows without pity
And I heard the steady rain
Whispering your name
Whispering your name
###
By Glen Campbell
Yesterday, when I was young
The taste of life was sweet
Like rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if
It were a foolish game
The way an evening breeze
Would tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built to last
On weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned
The naked light of day
And only now I see
How the years have run away
Yesterday, when I was young
There were so many songs
That waited to be sung
So many wild pleasures
That lay in store for me
And so much pain
My dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time
And youth at last ran out
And I never stopped to think
What life was all about
And every conversation
That I can recall
Concerned itself with me
And nothing else at all
Yesterday, the moon was blue
And every crazy day
Brought something new to do
And I used my magic age
As if it were a wand
And never saw the waste
And emptiness beyond
The game of love I played
With arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit
So quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all seemed
Somehow to drift away
And only I am left
On stage to end the play
Yesterday when I was young
There were so many songs
That waited to be sung
So many wild pleasures
Lay in store for me
And so much pain
My dazzled eyes refused to see
There are so many songs in me
That won't be sung
Cause I feel the bitter taste
Of tears upon my tongue
And the time has come for me
To pay for yesterday
When I was young

You are the Sunshine of My Life
By Stevie Wonder
You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be 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
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
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?
You are the sunshine of my life, yeah
That's why I'll always stay around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart, yeah
You are the sunshine of my life, baby
That's why I'll always stay around
###
By Everly Brothers
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
what would life be?
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
