Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #366

That's why the drums are drumming
That's why the pipes are humming
#01)
 
Well I saved my pennies
And I saved my dimes
#02)
 
Dear Sir or Madam
Will you read my book
#03)
 
You ask me if I'll miss her kisses
I guess I will, every day
#04)
 
Wondrously
Love can see
So I knew
#05)
 
You've changed a lot somehow
From the one I used to know
For when you hold me now
It feels like you never want to let me go
#06)

Your kisses take me
To
#07)
 
Don't make me live from day to day
Watching the clock that ticks away
Another day, another way
Another reason for me to stay
#08)
 
I think it's so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
#09)
 
Everything here is so clear, you can see it, and
Everything here is so near, you can feel it
#10)
 
I saw you were standing by your locker
As I went strolling by
Well, I'm not much at flirtin' and I'm not a talker but
I just had to wink my eye
#11)
 
Your love for me why not reveal
It's over now but it was grand
#12)
 
Since that day our love began
I've become a new and happy man
I can hold my head up high
When you are near I touch the sky
#13)
 
One day soon you'll have a date
And you'll take her home that night
Then you'll find you'll wonder
Would a kiss be right?
#14)

I've thrown away my nights
And wasted all my days
Over you
#15)
 
Goodbye romance
It could't last somehow
I had my chance
But it's all over now
#16)
 
Any woman he wants, he'll get
He will break any heart without regret
#17)
 
Don't sigh a sigh for me
Don't ever cry for me
This is goodbye for me
#18)
 
Seeing you alone with the moonlight above
Then I touched your hand and next moment I kissed you
#19)
 
I hear that love is planned
How can I understand
When someone says to me
#20)
 
He can walk the streets and boast like most
But he don't know a thing
It's all been done before
It's all been written in the book
#21)
 
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
#22)
 
Now, don't you ever
Be sad
Lean on me
When the times are bad
#23)
 
And already I miss you, my dear
If I had known
I'd be so alone
Do you think that I would have let you go?
#24)
 
Train whistle blowing
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets
Go all the girls and boys
#25)
 
------------
Tie-Breakers
-------------
 
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
The tears, they fell like raindrops
The night my old friend died
#T1)
 
They found a shattered empty rifle
And the shawl she used to wear
But they never found his Julie
And they never found
They never found
The hungry bear
#T2)
