I can dream, can't I?
I can't give you anything but love

I get a kick out of you
I get along without you very well
I love you for sentimental Reasons
I should Care
If I only had a brain
If I were a Bell

I'll close my eyes
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter

There will never be another you
There's a small hotel

Weaver of Dreams
Welcome to my world
What a difference a day makes
What is this thing called love
When I fall in love
When you're smiling
