A quiet thing

Reflection

Sara Lee

Shaking the blues away

Shy

Sing happy

So far away

Some people

Someone like you

Someone woke up

Take me or leave me

Take that look off your face

Ten cents a dance

That terrific rainbow

There are worse things I could do

There won't be trumpets

What did I ever see in him

What did I have that I don't have

What I did for love

What more do I need?

When you're good to Mama

Where the boys are

Wherever he ain't

Will you love me tomorrow

A wonderful guy

You can't get a man with a gun

You don't tell me

You'd be surprised

You'd better love me

(I wonder why?) You're just in love

You've got possibilities.

And this is my beloved -- Art is calling for me -- As simple as that -- Baubles, bangles and beads -- Before I gaze at you again -- Billie -- Children of the wind -- Climb ev'ry mountain -- A cock-eyed optimist -- Come home -- Comes once in a lifetime -- Cry like the wind -- Dancing on the ceiling -- Do I hear a waltz -- Don't like goodbyes -- Falling in love with love -- Getting married today -- Glad to be unhappy -- The golden ram -- He was too good to me -- Home -- How are things in Glocca Morra -- How lovely to be a woman -- I belong here -- I could have danced all night -- I could write a book -- I got lost in his arms -- I have dreamed -- I have to telll you -- I like him -- I wish I didn't love you so -- I'll know -- I'll show him -- I've never said I love you -- If I loved you -- In Buddy's eyes -- In my life -- In my own little corner -- Is he the only man in the world? -- It might as well be spring -- It never entered my mind -- It's a lovely day today -- Italian street song -- Just imagine -- Kiss her now -- Long before I knew you -- Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee (reprise) -- Look no further -- Look to the rainbow -- Love, don't turn away --

Love, look away

Love song

Lovely

Lover, come back to me

Make someone happy

Mister snow

Much more

My darling, my darling

My funny valentine

My lord and master

My romance

My ship

My true love

My white knight

Never never land

Nobody told me

Once you lose your heart

One boy

One more kiss

Out of my dreams

Part of your world

People will say we're in love

Ribbons down my back

Show me

The simple joys of maidenhood

Simple little things

So far

So in love

So many people

Somebody, somewhere

Someone nice like you

Something there

Something wonderful

The sound of music

Speak low

Ten minutes ago

That'll show him

There's no reason in the world

Till there was you

Too much in love to care

Unusual way

Warm all over

What good would the moon be?

What is a woman

When she loved me

Where, oh where

Where or when

Who are you now?

You don't know this man

You'll never walk alone.
