Patti Page: The Glory of Love
Lyrics
You've got to give a little, take a little
And let your poor heart break a little
That's the story of, that's the glory of love
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little
Before the clouds roll by a little
That's the story of, that's the glory of love
As long as there's the two of us
We've got the world and all its charms
And when the world is through with us
We've got each other's arms
You've got to win a little, lose a little
And always have the blues a little
That's the story of, that's the glory of love
As long as there's the two of us
We've got the world and all its charms
And when the world is through with us
We've got each other's arms
You've got to win a little, lose a little
And always have the blues a little
That's the story of, that's the glory of love
The story and the glory of love

Getting It Back – “Gayle”
Carol Channing: Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend
Lyrics
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental,
But diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
A kiss may be grand, but it won’t pay the rental
On your humble flat or help you at the automat.
Men grow cold as girls grow old;
And we all lose our charms in the end.
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer.
But diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
There may come a time when a hard boiled employer
Thinks you’re awful nice, but get that “ice” or else no dice.
He’s your guy when stocks are high,
But beware when they start to descend.
It’s then that those louses, go back to their spouses.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. (I don’t mean rhinestones.)
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don’t lose their shape.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

Story of Hope – “Hope”
Brenda Lee: You Were Always On My Mind
Lyrics
Maybe I didn't treat you,
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you,
Quite as often as I should have
Little things, I should have said and done,
I just never took the time...
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you,
All those lonely lonely times
And I guess I never told you,
I'm so happy that your mine
If I made you feel second best,
Well I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind
Tell, Tell me, Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give to me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind, yeah...
You were always on my mind.
