Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This song was suggested by my friend, Tammy, whose father sang it
at her wedding reception some years back. Thanks, Tammy!

BONUS #2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHWcvHYDmkY - Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Andy Williams
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can%27t_Take_My_Eyes_Off_You:
| "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is a
1967 single by
Frankie Valli. The song was among Valli's biggest hits, reaching #2
on the
Billboard Hot 100 and earning a
gold record. It was Valli's biggest "solo" hit until he hit #1 in
1975 with "My
Eyes Adored You".[1]
The song has had a major cultural impact, with hundreds of cover
versions, many of which have been on the charts themselves in different
countries. The song is a staple of television and film soundtracks, even
being featured as part of the plot of some films, such as when the lead
characters sing or arrange their own version of the song. The Valli
version was also used by
NASA as a
wake-up song for
a mission of the Space Shuttle, on the anniversary of astronaut
Christopher Ferguson... The song was written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio... |

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay...
