The smile I live for

[SteveMacD]

I Want You
If Anyone Falls
The Challenge
Go Insane
Nothing Ever Changes
Who’s Dreaming This Dream
—
Got A Hold On Me
I Must Go
Stand Back
Slow Dancing
Enchanted
The Smile I live For

It's possible.... She used to refer to herself and Sandy Stewart as Rodgers and Hammerstein ....
