How to Handle a Woman Lyrics

How to handle a woman?
There's a way,' said the wise old man,
'A way known by ev'ry woman
Since the whole rigmarole began.'
'Do I flatter her?' I begged him answer.
'Do I threaten or cajole or plead?
Do I brood or play the gay romancer?'

Said he, smiling: 'No indeed.
How to handle a woman?
Mark me well, I will tell you, sir:

The way to handle a woman
Is to love her, simply love her.
Merely love her, love her, love her.'

How to handle a woman?
Mark me well, I will tell you, sir:

The way to handle a woman
Is to love her, simply love her.
Merely love her, love her, love her.

If Ever I Would Leave You
If ever I would leave you
It wouldn't be in summer.
Seeing you in summer I never would go.

Your hair streaked with sun-light,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face with a l***er
That puts gold to shame!

But if I'd ever leave you,
How could it be in autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.

I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air.
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.
And could I leave you
Running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening
When you catch the fire's glow?

If ever I would leave you,
How could it be in spring-time?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! Not in spring-time!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!

If ever I would leave you,
How could it be in spring-time?
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so?
Oh, no! Not in spring-time!
Summer, winter or fall!
No, never could I leave you at all!

Almost Like Being in Love How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You When You Know I've Been a Liar All My Life? The Heather on the Hill I Could Have Danced All Night On the Street Where You Live I Remember It Well Gigi's (Gaston's Soliloquy) A Toujours How Can I Wait? They Call the Wind Maria Come to Me, Bend to Me If Ever I Would Leave You How to Handle a Woman Here I'll Stay I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face Oh, Come to the Ball What Did I Have That I Don't Have? Too Late Now I'm Glad I'm Not Young Anymore One More Walk Around the Garden On a Clear Day
