Well, it’s a marvelous night for a Moondance  
With the stars up above in your eyes  
A fantabulous night to make romance  
'Neath the cover of October skies

And when October goes  
The same old dream appears  
And you are in my arms  
To share the happy years  
I turn my head away to hide  
The helpless tears  
Oh, how I hate to see October go

But, darling, what can I do?  
For you don’t love me  
And I’ll always be crying over you  
Crying over you

So many days have gone by  
Still I’m so lonely and I guess there’s just no getting over you  
And there’s nothing I can do  
But spend all of my time out of my mind  
Over you

– Gary Puckett

Unforgettable, that’s what you are  
Unforgettable though near or far  
Like a song of love that clings to me  
How the thought of you does things to me

I got chills, they’re multiplying  
And I’m losing control  
'Cause the power, you’re supplying  
It’s electrifying

Till now I always got by on my own  
I never really cared until I met you  
And now it chills me to the bone  
How do I get you alone

I think we’re alone now (alone now)  
There doesn’t seem to be anyone around  
I think we’re alone now (alone now)  
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Hello darkness, my old friend  
I’ve come to talk with you again  
Because a vision softly creeping  
Left its seeds while I was sleeping  
And the vision that was planted in my brain  
Still remains  
Within the sound of silence

Simon and Garfunkel

How quiet, how quiet the chamber is  
How silent, how silent the chamber is  
Is anybody there? Does anybody care?  
Does anybody see what I see?

Prof.: One of my favorite Musicals. Thank you

In play:

I see skies of blue  
And clouds of white  
The bright blessed day  
The dark sacred night  
And I think to myself  
What a wonderful world

Don’t know much about algebra,  
Don’t know what a slide rule is for.  
But I know that one and one is two,  
And if this one could be with you,  
What a wonderful world this would be.

One and one are two (one and one are two)  
I know you love me and oh, oh, how I love you (how I love you)

If lust and hate is the candy,  
If blood and love taste so sweet,  
Then we give 'em what they want.  
Hey, hey, give 'em what they want.

Go to see him when the sun goes down  
Ain’t no finer boy in town  
You’re my guy, just what the doctor ordered  
So sweet, you make my mouth water

And then along comes Mary  
And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick  
And give me pick of memories  
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and tribulations  
No one ever sees

When we met I was sure out to lunch  
Now, my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

I’m walking backwards for Christmas,  
Across the Irish Sea,  
I’m walking backwards for Christmas,  
It’s the only thing for me.

I’ve tried walking sideways,  
And walking to the front,  
But people just look at me,  
And say it’s a publicity stunt.

I’m walking backwards for Christmas,  
To prove that I love you.
