Let Me Call You Sweetheart

Let me call you "sweetheart",
I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper
that you love me too
Keep the love-light glowing
in your eye so true
Let me call you "sweetheart",
I'm in love with you


You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night dear,
as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
in my arms s
When I awoke dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away


Beer Barrel Polka

Roll out the barrel,
we'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel,
we've got the blues on the run
Zing Boom Terrara
Join in a glass of good cheer
Now it's time to roll the barrel
For the gang's all here
