When I was just a little guy, I used to love to lie beneath the old oak tree. Laying in the shade I really had it made- won't you go there with me. Come away with me to the old oak tree. Where branches climb up into the blue. There hand in hand, we will understand, what makes our wildest dreams come true. Come away with me to the old oak tree ' we'll lie back and gaze into the leaves. With every kiss we'll find a heavenly bliss, In a land of make believe.

I walked the door into the street, with the wind, the rain and the snow at my feet. I walked out the door and now I'm gone. with holes in my shoes and a park bench until dawn. I knew you were wrong when you said I'd been untrue. But I had no way of convincing you. So I walked out the door into the cold. Now I've got no lips to kiss me, I've got no hand to hold. I've got no lips to kiss me, I've got no hand to hold.

Santa's going to be late tonight, 'cause Rudolph ran into a satellite. Not to worry, fill your heart with joy. 'cause it's going to rain, a sleigh full of toys. They won't break, so don't give a hoot. They are coming down on parachutes. It will be great. Everything alright. 'cause Rudolph ran into a satellite.

I'm not the one that hurt you. I'm not the one that made you cry.For I could never desert you. I could never, ever, say goodbye. So why don't you forget him, make a place for me deep in your heart. So why don't you forget him. And tell me that we will never part. Loving you was so easy, it seemed the proper thing for me to do. But he came along and our love went wrong. Now I'm afraid of losing you. I'm not the one that left you lonely. I didn't cause your world to end. For I'm the one that loves you only, And want you to be more than just a friend. So why don't you forget him. Make a place for me deep in your heart. so why don't you forget him. And tell me that we will never part.

I saw her standing in the doorway etched by the light. A pretty sight to see. I had every intension of walking right on by. But she got a hold on me. Please tell me no if I should ask you to spend the night with me. It's not the thing to do, I've got a pretty little woman waiting home for me, and she wouldn't approve of you..

I want to whisper sweet nothings in your ear, But you're always to far away to hear. Why must you stay a country mile away? Come closer, come closer to me. I want to feel the warmth of your touch, 'cause my heart says I love you so much. So why must you stay a country mile away?

You're gonna love me rain or shine. You're gonna love me make up your mind. Quit your flirtin' this time it's certain. You're gonna love me. You're gonna love me rich or poor. You're gonna love me darling sure. Stop hesitating I'm tired of waiting. You're gonna love me.

There's a rose at the bending of the road. everyone passing by seems to know, that little flower bed tells us all some one is dead. There's a rose at the bending of the road. Flaxen hair and eyes of blue, a young heart, so brave and true. Living life and having lots of fun.

Fifty years together a love we've had to share. We've gone from sweet eighteen to a creaking rocking chair. In all this time together we've weathered every storm. And every night for fifty years, you have kept me warm. The past is now behind us, all it can do is remind us, of the wonderful things that bind us, you and I. Our hearts will always see, I love you and you love me. That's the way it's going to be until we die.
