I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I'm singing now is what makes the money.

How can you lose something you never had, I tell myself when I'm feeling sad.

I hope I didn't bore you too much with my life story.

I can't sing very well but I'd like to try.

Don't criticize that man unless you have walked in his shoes.

The closest I ever came to getting married was just before I started singing. In fact, my first record saved my neck.

I feel so alone sometimes. The night is quiet for me. I'd love to be able to sleep. I'll probably not rest. I have no need for all this. Help me, Lord.
