As a love song this has to be one of the best. Other people have sung this but only Andy Williams does it real justice.

I can’t take my eyes off you!

BTW I’ve added to lyrics here because the site with the number 1 listing in the search results has the lyrics WRONG!!

Lyrics: Can’t Take My Eyes Off You (Alt: I Love You Baby)

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

I love you baby
And if it’s quite all right
I need you baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I’ve found you stay
And let me love you baby
Let me love you

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
You feel like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

I love you baby
And if it’s quite all right
I need you baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I’ve found you stay
Oh pretty baby
Trust in me when I say…

If you have even the slightest shred of emotion within you, you can’t fail to be moved by this song from Eva Cassidy.

The correct and accurate lyrics…

Early Morning Rain

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I’m a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain with no place to go

Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go
But I’m stuck here on the ground where the cold winds blow
You can’t jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I’d best be on my way in the early morning rain

Hear her mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high
She’s away and westward bound, far above my home she’ll fly
Where the morning rain don’t fall and the sun always shines
She’ll be flying past my home in about three hours time

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I’m a long way from home and I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain with no place to go
In the early morning rain with no place to go

Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders – Game Of Love (1965)

I can never remember the title, instead I know it as, The purpose of a man is to love a woman, hence the title of the post.

Crank up the volume!

How’s that for a fine tune on a Saturday morning?! Eh? Eh?

I first heard this on the soundtrack of Good Morning Vietman. I haven’t seen it for ages but I just watched the trailer and remembered what a fantastic film it is.

What’s the weather like out there?

Happy Sunday!!

Always thought this was a fantastic song. Billy Joel provides today’s Sunday Love song.

I don’t even need to find the lyrics for this one… they come up on the screen. How’s that for service?

Maybe slightly on the morose side but the sentiment is just lovely for those who can’t be together at Christmas. I’m not a big fan of the Carpenters but I can’t deny that Karen Carpenter had an exquisite voice.

Greeting cards have all been sent
The Christmas rush is through
But I still have one wish to make
A special one for you

Merry Christmas, darling
We’re apart, that’s true
But I can dream
And in my dreams
I’m Christmasing with you
Holidays are joyful
There’s always something new
But every day’s a holiday
When I’m near to you
The lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
Fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I’ve just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
Merry Christmas, darling

The idea for this one came from a radio show I listen to every week on BBC Radio 2. It’s hosted by an incredibly talented and famous broadcaster by the name of Steve Wright and has been the way millions of people have started their Sundays for years.

The show is just brilliant if you are or ever have been in love. Click through to the site and have a listen. It’s superb.

I’m not stealing Steve’s idea, I’m just borrowing it for a while, and I hope I’m not breaking any rules by borrowing the name, “Sunday Love Songs” – it just seems like the natural thing to call it.

Incidentally, the man introducing the song is in fact Steve Wright! How’s that for picking a perfect first song?

Anyway, if I could sing at all, this is one I’d sing to my wife.

It’s absolutely beautiful.
