Songs
20 Songs.
With a song in my heart. Mountain Greenery. Manhattan. Sand and Water. People will say we're in love. Oh what a beautiful morning. I remember it well. Oklahoma. Getting to know you. June is busting out all over. When the children are asleep. I'm in love with a wonderful guy. It might as well be spring. If I loved you. It's only make believe. Climb every Mountain. It's a grand night for singing. This can't be love. Shall we dance. Do-Re-Mi.
