Songs I Would Sing to You if I Could Sing

I have always loved music - tried to play piano, guitar, sing - not particularly well, in any case. But my good friend, Cynthia Tarr, suggested I take voice lessons with her - and being one of the things I have been wanting to do, I jumped in. So far, I'm just making motorboat sounds, but in no time at all she'll have me sing a real song. She asked if I had one in mind, and on reflection, I found there were many songs I'd like to sing for you - too many even for this show. So I cut the list down, and that's today's theme - songs I would sing, if I could sing, and I will be singing before very long. In the meantime, enjoy these great songs by fabulous singers.
