[Taft in '52]

This hit tune from 1933 popularized by the Casa Loma Orchestra, Fletcher Henderson, and other acts comes to mind:

It's the Talk of the Town

I can’t show my face,
Can’t go anyplace;
People stop and stare;
It’s so hard to bear.
Everybody knows you left me,
It’s the talk of the town.

Everytime we meet,
My heart skips a beat;
We don’t stop to speak,
Though it’s just a week.
Everybody knows you left me,
It’s the talk of the town.

We send out invitations to friends and relations,
Announcing our wedding day.
Friends and our relations gave congratulations.
How can I face them?
What can I say?

Let’s make up sweetheart;
We can’t stay apart.
Don’t let foolish pride
Keep you from my side.
How can love like ours be ended?
It’s the talk of the town.

[Graymatter]

In view of the Karen Carpenter looks, this comes to mind:


We've only just begun to live

White lace and promises

A kiss for luck and we're on our way

We've only begun



Before the rising sun we fly

So many roads to choose

We start our walking

And learn to RUN.
