Songwriters: Don Mclean And I Love You So was Perry Como's 21st 12" long-play album released by RCA Records. As with It's Impossible, this album was issued to feature a surprise hit single, Don McLean's "And I Love You So". Como brought the song to the national top 40 (Number One Easy Listening). Previous versions of the song by Bobby Goldsboro and Bobby Vinton had met with mild or no success. Como's version was so successful, RCA asked him to record the song in Spanish. When Como said he didn't speak the language, he received personal Spanish lessons from the head of RCA International to get the record made.

No I can't forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that's just the way The story goes You always smile but in your eyes Your sorrow shows Yes it shows No I can't forget tomorrow When I think of all my sorrow When I had you there But then I let you go And now it's only fair That I should let you know What you should know I can't live If living is without you I can't live I can't give anymore I can't live If living is without you I can't give I can't give anymore Well I can't forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that's just the way The story goes You always smile but in your eyes Your sorrow show Yes it shows I can't live If living is without you I can't live I can't give anymore I can't live If living is without you I can't give I can't give anymore

So close to me I wish that you could spend forever So close to me But there is someone else, and this can never be for you and me. So close to me Tomorrow you must go away and I will try to live my life without you as each day goes by But how can I? Don't try to speak Your tears upon my cheek say all there is to say You know that I will love you more each passing day How can I go on living without you? For one more night Let my forever be the last few dreams we share For when tomorrow comes and you're no longer there In dreams you'll always be so close to me. So close to me When I reach out my hand and there is only space I'll kiss the empty pillow where I see your face So close to me. I set you free But lock you in my heart until eternity For that's the only place where you are meant to be So close to me. Tonight is ours But if tomorrow never comes so let it be The world can only turn around if you're with me as close to me as I am close to you... Tonight is ours Some other time, some other day When you are gone the memory of loving you will linger on For you will always be... so close to me

It was a coldest day in December A day I always will remember I looked into your eyes And faced my deepest fear I had drifted too far Far from you my dear [Chorus:] So how could I Turn away from the one I love How could I When I know what my heart's made of Could it be That your soul lives inside of me How could I ever say good-bye Why was I so afraid to tell her That for her I would fight a thousand soldiers But just like an angry child I kept my feelings locked inside There were rivers of tears Flowing from her eyes [Repeat Chorus:] When you fall in love You never know how long it lasts But the one thing I knew in my heart Is that I was fading much too fast [Repeat Chorus]

The secret way you hold my hand To let me know you understand The wind and rain upon your face The breathless world of your embrace Your little laugh and half-surprise The starlight gleaming in your eyes Remembering all those little things All of a sudden, my heart sings All of a sudden, my heart sings When I remember little things The way you dance and hold me tight The way you kiss and say goodnight The crazy things we'd say and do The fun it is to be with you The magic thrill that's in your touch Oh, darling, I love you so much The secret way you hold my hold To let me know you understand The wind and rain upon your face The breathless world of your embrace Your little laugh and half surprise The starlight gleaming in your eyes Remembering all those things All of a sudden, my heart sings

Written by: Jacques Roman Brel, Rod McKuen If you go away on this summer day Then you might as well take the sun away All the birds that flew in the summer sky When our love was new and our hearts were high When the day was young, and the night was long And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song If you go away, if you go away, if you go away But if you stay, I'll make you a day Like no day has been or will be again We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind Then if you go, I'll understand Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand If you go away, if you go away, if you go away If you go away, as I know you will You must tell the world to stop turning 'til You return again, if you ever do For what good is love without loving you? Can I tell you now, as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly 'til the next hello? If you go away, if you go away, if you go away But if you stay, I'll make you a night Like no night has been or will be again I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much But if you go, go! I won't cry Though the good is gone from the word goodbye If you go away, if you go away, if you go away If you go away, as I know you must There'll be nothing left in the world to trust Just an empty room, full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face I'd have been the shadow of your shadow If I thought it might have kept me by your side If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

Where do I begin To tell the story of how great a love can be The sweet love story that is older than the sea The simple truth about the love she brings to me Where do I start With her first hello She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine There'd never be another love, another time She came into my life and made the living fine She fills my heart She fills my heart with very special things With angels' songs , with wild imaginings She fills my soul with so much love That anywhere I go I'm never lonely With her around, who could be lonely I reach for her hand-it's always there How long does it last Can love be measured by the hours in a day I have no answers now but this much I can say I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away And she'll be there How long does it last Can love be measured by the hours in a day I have no answers now but this much I can say I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away And she'll be there

Just say I love her I've loved her from the start And tell her how I'm yearning To say what's in my heartJust say I need her As roses need the rain And tell her that without her My dreams are all in vainIf you should chance to meet her Anytime anywhere I was a fool to leave her Tell her how much a fool can care And if she tells you She's lonely now and then Won't you just say I love her And want her back again

I hope you enjoy it! takes me far away remembering a love song Impossible for me to tell how many times I’ve tried to describe to you the way I felt about you Sometimes I that like rock’n’roll no longer had no sense at all the songs I used to sing never brought you closer la,la,la,la baby I love you (X 3)… oh I love you I stopped beneath a falling star and wished I was a poet who’d express himself in beautiful confessions I’d tell you how you cause me pain each time I stood before you betrayed by all the needs that burn inside me
