My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of may, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no softly guitars
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a thing but you

He was one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th Century! They don't have his kind anymore! So sad! He could do it all! Singers today can't do one tenth of what he could! I am glad I lived in his lifetime! I only wish I had seen him in person.

Do you have Sammy singing Something's Coming from West Side Story? I have looked all over and can't find it. Thanks for this, BTW. I had the album Showstoppers by Sammy and wish I still had it. He was great, overshadowed by Sinatra, but wonderful nonetheless.
