Notes About The Poem

Six-Word Couplet Series

1958 Song Hits


All I Have To Do Is Dream
Night or day
Dreamin' life away

Do You Want To Dance
Under the moonlight
through the night

Who's Sorry Now
Sad and blue 
Cried over you

Poor Little Fool
Lied to me
Won her victory

Book Of Love 
Meaning of romance
One more chance

My True Love 
Send a love
From heaven above

Endless Sleep 
To the shore
Gone forever more

Twilight Time
Days of old
With dreams untold

Volare
Beginning to fly
in endless sky 

Oh Julie
Don't deceive me
Love me truly


Sandra M. Haight
