Doris Day (born Doris Mary Ann Kappelhoff, April 3, 1924) is an American actress, singer, and animal rights activist. With an entertainment career that spanned through almost 50 years, Day started her career as a big band singer in 1939, but only began to be noticed after her first hit recording, "Sentimental Journey", in 1945.

In 1948, after being persuaded by Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne and her agent at the time, Al Levy, she auditioned for Michael Curtiz, which led to her being cast in the female lead role in Romance on the High Seas.
With a legendary Hollywood "girl next door" image, and capable of delivering comedy and romance as well as heavy drama, she appeared in 39 films, released 29 albums, spent 460 weeks in the Top 40 charts and eventually became one of America's most beloved entertainers. She received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Pillow Talk, won three Henrietta Awards (World Film Favorite), a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Legend Award from the Society of Singers, Los Angeles Film Critics Association's Career Achievement Award and, in 1989, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement in motion pictures.

Denver was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the 1970s.
Maybe the world has finally gone so wrong
it's taken all the pleasure out of being right
even ordinary things seem so far out of reach
that they are almost out of sight
so why propose worst case scenarios?
they seem to find ways to come true
we live in an imperfect world
that we must concede
and some things are impossible
take that as agreed
but getting some of what you want
and most of what you need?
perhaps, perhaps
Now that the endless march of bitterness has worn us out
it could be time to call a halt
sometimes even victims of injustice must admit
that something might have been their fault
all the same assigning all the blame
could take all the time in the world
and I don't have that kind of time, forever is a curse
and I don't want to be the ruler of the universe
but staying in a little world that won't get too much worse?
perhaps, perhaps.
"A world of our own" sounds so trite
but that's almost all right
the way I thought that it would be has vanished in the air
and most of it's impossible, and I don't really care
but reaching out for somebody who's actually there?
perhaps, perhaps.
You won't admit you love me.
And so how am I ever to know?
You only tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
A million times I ask you,
And then I ask you over again.
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
If you can't make your mind up,
We'll never get started.
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted.
So if you really love me,
Say yes.
But if you don't, dear, confess.
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
If you can't make your mind up,
We'll never get started.
