- This score contains two songs, Cupid’s Calendar and Sweetheart.
- Written by J. A. Parks
- Here are the lyrics for Cupid’s Calendar:
“When I’m with you, dearest one, the hours as minutes fly,
And Love cheats Time so sweetly, that his calendar’s awry;
But Cupid finds an easy way, to set the time-card true,
For minutes drag to hours, dear heart, when I’m away from you!”
