"Hi Lili, Hi Lo"
In the line "A song of love is such a sad song" in "Hi Lili, Hi Lo," the "sad" is sung with a melisma (E D), musically giving a sense of degree (for "such").

"Since I Don't Have You"
It's a bit difficult to tell because it occurs during the fade out, but I think the last line of "Since I Don't Have You" is "Because you know that since I don't have you, I'm so blue." The "so" here is sung with a melisma (G F), musically giving a sense of degree.

"Untie Me"
In the line "And you don't want me anymore" in "Untie Me," the "-more" of "anymore" is sung with a melisma (B A G A B, I think), so while it's negated ("not... anymore"), there's a musical sense of continuation.
While referencing the recording in order to write this post, I also noticed that "ago" in the line "Not too long ago, you said you'd love me to the end" is also sung with a melisma (D F# E). While this is also negated, that articulation gives a sense of duration or perhaps even degree (for that "too").

"It's Gonna Work out Fine"
I found some old notes that I neglected to include when I made my initial posts.
In the "so fine" at the end of "It's Gonna Work out Fine," the "fine" is sung with a melisma (C Bb A), musically giving a sense of degree (for that "so").
