| The Wonder Of You (Recorded by Brendan Bowyer & The Royal Showband) __________________________________________________ When no-one else can understand me When everything I do is wrong You give me hope and consolation You give me strength to carry on And you're always there to lend a hand in everything I do That's the wonder, the wonder of you. And when you smile the world is brighter You touch my hand and I'm a king, Your kiss to me is worth a fortune Your love for me is everything, I'll guess I'll never know the reason why you love me like you do That's the wonder, the wonder of you (originally recorded by Elvis Presley) |

| Beautiful Dreamer
(Stephen Foster) (Recorded by Prince Vince & The Kings Showband) _________________________________________________ Beautiful Dreamer, awake unto me, Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; Sounds of the rude world heard in the day, Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away. Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, List while I woo thee with soft melody; Gone are the cares of life's busy throng, Beautiful dreamer awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea, Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelei; Over the streamlet vapours are borne, Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn. Beautiful dreamer, beam of my heart, E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea; Then will the clouds of sorrow depart, Beautiful dreamer awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! |

| Above And Beyond
(Owens) Recorded by Houston Wells & The Premier Aces ____________________________________________________ Well I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love And I'll never ever make you cry Yes I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love And love's something that money can't buy. Well a poor boy's chances for a pretty girl's glances are sometimes very few; Though I've got no money, if you'll be my honey here's what I'll offer you: Well I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love And I'll never ever make you cry Yes I'll give you love that's above and beyond the call of love And love's something that money can't buy. We met by chance and I knew at a glance that I'd found my destiny, Now I want to carry you off and marry you if you will agree And I'll give you love that's above and beyond.... |

| My Prayer Recorded by Tommy Drennan & The Monarchs _________________________________________________________ When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing When the twilight is gone you come into my heart And here in my heart you will stay while I pray, My prayer is to linger with you At the end of the day in a dream that’s divine; My prayer is a rapture in blue With the world far away and your lips close to mine Tonight while our hearts are aglow Oh, Why don’t you to tell me the words that I’m longing to know My prayer and the answer you give May they still be the same for as long as we live That you’ll always be there At the end of my prayer (Originally recorded by The Platters) |

| Almost Persuaded Recorded by D.J. Curtin & The Kerry Blues 1973 - Release RL693 / Marry Me ________________________________________ Last night all alone in a bar-room Met a girl with a drink in her hand. She had ruby red lips and coal black hair And eyes that would tempt any man. Then she came and sat down at my table And as she placed her soft hands in mine, I found myself wanting to kiss her For temptation was flowing like wine; And I was almost persuaded To strip myself of my pride, Almost persuaded To push my conscience aside Then we danced and she whispered 'I need you' Take me away from here and be my man; Then I looked in her eyes and I saw it The reflection of my wedding band And I was almost persuaded To let soft lips lead me on Almost persuaded But your sweet love made me stop and go home |
