Chances Are
Johnny Mathis
Words by Al Stillman and Music by Robert Allen

Peak position # 1 in 1957

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you

Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

Chances are, 'cause I wear that silly grin
the moment you come into view;
chances are you think that I'm in love with you.

Just because my composure sort-of slips
the moment that your lips meet mine,
chances are you think my heart's your Valentine.

In the magic of moonlight,
when I sigh "hold me close, dear"
chances are you believe

Sittin' in a railway station with my suitcase in my hand
Goin' back where I came from, I've had more than I can stand
Of watchin' men destroy my dreams, they picked my brain till it was
clean

When I was up they knocked me down
I ain't goin' to hand around, I'm goin' home

I'm goin' home, goin' home
Tell someone to meet me I'm comin' home

No Love (But Your Love)
Johnny Mathis
Written by Billy Myles

Peaked at # 21 in 1958

No love but your love can set my world on fire
No love but your love can fill me with desire

No love but your love can shape my destiny
No love but your love can make a slave of me

JOHNNY:
Guess it's over, call it a day
Sorry that it had to end this way
No reason to pretend
We knew it had to end some day, this way
DENIECE:
Yes, it's over, the kids are gone
What's the use of tryin' to hang on?
Somewhere we lost the key
So little left for you and me and it's clear to see

BOTH: Too much, too little, too late to lie again with you

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea
And we breathe in the cool salty air
You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes
And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare
Then your lips cling to mine
It's wonderful, wonderful

Sometimes we walk hand in hand by the sea

And we breathe in the cool salty air,

Wonderful, Wonderful

You turn to me with a kiss in your eyes

And my heart feels a thrill beyond compare

Then your lips cling to mine, it's wonderful, wonderful

Oh, so wonderful my love.

Sometimes we stand on the top of a hill

And we gaze at the earth and the sky

Maria
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
All the beautiful sounds of the world
In a single word
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
Maria, Maria
Maria
I just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me
Maria,
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I found
How wonderful a sound can be
Maria,
Say it loud and there's music playing
