1.In A Shanty In Old Shanty Town
IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTYTOWN
Ted Black
It's only a shanty in old shantytown.
The roof is so slanty, it touches the ground.
It's a tumble down shack by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion, it's calling me back.
I'd give up a palace if I were a king.
It's more than a palace,
It's my everything.
There's a queen waiting there
With a silvery crown
In a shanty in old shantytown.
2.Love Letters In The Sand
Love Letters In The Sand
Ted Black
On a day like today
we passed the time away
Writing love letters in the sand.
How you laughed when I cried
Each time I saw the tide
Take our love letters in the sand.
You made a vow that you would always be true,
But somehow that vow meant nothing to you.
Now my poor heart just aches,
With every wave it breaks
Over love letters in the sand.
3.Masquerade
Masquerade
Ted Black
The light will fade,
I'll meet you at the masquerade.
While are hearts are swinging
To violins singing til dawn.
Lady dressed in jade,
Hold me tight at the masquerade.
If the music halts, dear,
Then my heart will waltz,
Dear, right on.
Twelve o'clock is climbing
On the clock above.
Now if you'll unmask your heart,
I'll love you, love you.
Midnight shadows fade,
No one's left at the masquerade.
Everything is through, dear,
But my love for you,dear, lives on.
