Love songs are a dime a dozen
But I want to write one for you
And there’s something about
Pennies from Heaven
That fully applies to you
I know it sounds silly to say it
But when I need pennies from Heaven
There’s no one really but you
Love songs are a dime a dozen
But this one baby’s for you
You can eat your cake
And sometimes have it
And that’s just the frosting with you
Love songs are a dime a dozen
But this one baby’s for you
You can climb a mountain
Or reach for the stars
Then I flew to the moon with you
Pennies, quarters
Silver dollars, nickels and dimes
Every day you fill up my heart
Living with you is sublime
Little Jack Horner
Sat in a corner
Deep in a funk and a stew
He’d lost his love
He was down on his luck
But that never happens with you
Love songs are a dime a dozen
But this one baby’s for you
You can fly to Mars
Or shoot for the moon
Now I’m stargazing with you
Love songs are a dime a dozen
But this one baby’s for you
I’m just as plain
Ordinary can be
And you’re plenty happy with me
Pennies, quarters
Silver dollars, nickels and dimes
Every day you fill up my heart
Living with you is sublime
Yes love Songs are a Dime a Dozen
And baby, this one’s for you
Nothing like a jazz trio (arch top guitar, double bass, brushed drums) to announce !!Jazz Song!!
Something about those jazzy tunes of the fifties sung and played by masters of pop music turns my head and I engage.
