I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain
And deep as a river,
Come rain or come shine.
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things,
But don't ever bet me,
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me.
You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me,
Come rain or come shine.
Happy together,
Unhappy together,
And won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny,
We're in or we're out of the money,
But I'm with you always,
I'm with you rain or shine!

VERSE 1 SHE :

Straight from the heart department, dear,
I bring you a sweeping statement:
You seem to be the mate meant for me.
Why in the name of common sense
Were all of my young dreams wasted?
Never in one your face did I see.
If this is all a big surprise to you,
Me too!

REFRAIN

Why must love be such a random thing?
Unpredictable as early spring.
Why no choir praising the joy I was to find?
And why am I the one to be overwhelmed, undermined?

My bonny lass, thine eye,
So sly,
Hath made me sorrow so;
Thy crimson cheeks, my dear,
So clear,
Have so much wrought my woe;

Thy pleasing smiles and grace,
Thy face,
Have ravished so my sprites,
That life is grown to nought
Through thought
Of love, which me affrights.

For fancy's flames of fire
Aspire
Unto such furious power
As, but the tears I shed
Make dead
The brands, would me devour;

I should consume to nought
Through thought
Of thy fair shining eye,
Thy cheeks, thy pleasing smiles,

VERSE

The poets say that all who love are blind,
But I'm in love and I know what time it is!
The Good Book says, " Go seek and ye shall find. "
Well, I have sought and, my, what a climb it is!
My life is just like the weather,
It changes with the hours.
When he's near I'm fair and warmer,
When he's gone I'm cloudy with showers.
In emotion, like the ocean it's either sink or swim
When a woman loves a man like I love him.

REFRAIN 1

Never treats me sweet and gentle

Written on an Incident, Read in a Periodical.

The mother's face looked tired and worn,
While speaking of her son;
The good man listened earnestly,
As she went sadly on,

Telling of days of weariness,
And nights of earnest prayer,
All, all for him, whose soul had been
Her heart's most anxious care.

" You'll speak to him? " at last, she said,
" Perhaps, your clearer sight

(with Billy Rose)

VERSE

Man, you funny thing,
Don't you know it's Spring?
Ev'ry bench and swing
Discovers lovers.
Here we sit and sit
While the moon is lit.
Am I feeling happy?
Not a bit.

REFRAIN 1

I wanna be loved with inspiration,
I wanna be loved starting tonight.
Instead of merely holding conversation,
Hold me tight!
I wanna be loved, I crave affection,
Those kisses of yours
I'd gladly share.
I want your eyes to shine in my direction.
Make me care!

Misdeeming eye! that stoopest to the lure
Of mortall worthes, not worth so worthy love;
All beautye's base, all graces are impure,
That do thy erring thoughtes from God remove.
Sparkes to the fire, the beames yeld to the sunne,
All grace to God, from Whome all graces runne.

If picture move, more should the paterne please;
No shadow can with shadowed thinge compare,
And fayrest shapes, whereon our loves do ceaze,
But sely signes of God's high beautyes are.
Go, sterving sense, feede thou on earthly maste;

I'll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now,
I'll be around
From now on.
Your latest love
Can never last,
And when it's past,
I'll be around
When he's gone.
Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine,
Just now and then
Drop a line
To say you're feeling fine.
And when things go wrong,
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me.
So, I'll be around
When he's gone.

(with Mack Gordon)

VERSE

When the day fades away into twilight,
The moon is my light of love.
In the night, I am quite a romancer;
I find an answer above.
To bring me consolation,
You're my inspiration,
This is my imagination.

REFRAIN

Time on my hands,
You in my arms,
Nothing but love in view;
Then if you fall,
Once and for all,
I'll see my dreams come true.
Moments to spare for
Someone you care for;
One love affair for two.
With time on my hands
And you in my arms

VERSE

It was only yesterday,
I thought love had come to stay,
But just like a bird in flight
Love has vanished overnight.

REFRAIN

Gone with the wind,
Just like a leaf that has blown away.
Gone with the wind,
My romance has flown away.
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I had a lifetime of Heaven
At my fingertips.
But now all is gone,
Gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart.
Gone with the wind,
The gladness that filled my heart.
Just like a flame,
