You, you're driving me crazy! What did I do? What did I do?
My tears for you make everything hazy, clouding the skies of blue
How true, were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe, me they knew, but you
Were the one who would hurt me, desert me
When I needed you
Sweet summer breeze, whispering trees
Stars shining softly above
Roses in bloom, wafted perfume
Sleepy birds dreaming of love
Safe in your arms, far from alarms
Daylight shall come but in vain
Tenderly press close to my breast
Kiss me, kiss me again
Safe in your arms, far from alarms
Daylight shall come but in vain
Tenderly press close to my breast
When you walk through a storm,
hold your head up high,
and don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm,
is the golden sky,
and the sweet silver song of the lark.
Walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown,
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
I've got my eyes on you, so best beware where you roam.
I've got my eyes on you, so don't stray too far from home.
Incidentally, I've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do, from a to zee.
I'll be seeing you;
In all the old, familiar places;
That this heart of mine embraces;
All day through.
In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut tree;
The wishing well.
I'll be seeing you;
In every lovely, summer's day;
And everything that's bright and gay;
I'll always think of you that way;
I'll find you in the morning sun;
And when the night is new;
I'll be looking at the moon;
Indiscreet - it's indiscreet
To gaze at you - each time we meet
I've told my eyes - they must disguise - this yearning
Yes it's indiscreet - quite indiscreet
To find your touch - so bitter sweet
You're close to me and suddenly I'm burning
While I ask myself: "Where is your pride?"
Irresistibly I'm drawn to your side
And (Yes) it's indiscreet - so indiscreet
But love is swift - and time is sweet
And oh my dear - I crave the nearness of you
To love you is why my heart must be
Verse:
It's not that you're fairer
Than a lot of girls just as pleasin'
That I doff my hat
As a worshipper at your shrine
It's not that you're rarer
Than asparagus out of season
No, my darling, this is the reason
Why you've got to be mine
Chorus:
You'd be so nice to come HOME to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high, sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice
I love the look(s) of you, (and) the lure of you
The sweet of you, and the pure of you
The eyes, the arms, and the (that) mouth of you
The east, west, north, and the (that) south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you
Handle even the heart and soul of you
Love at least a small percent of me do
You've got a hold on me
You've got that magic hold on me
When I'm alone now, I wonder
What is this power I'm under?
You cast a spell on me
That moment heaven fell on me
You've got a hold on me
What can I do
But always hold on to you
You cast a spell on me
That moment heaven fell on me
You've got a hold on me
What can I do
But always hold on to you
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness, when you're growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world is fast asleep,
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never, ever think of counting sheep.
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss her most of all.
(Musical interlude)
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
You're lonely and I'm lonely,
So why can't we be lonely together?
The night is young and while it grows older
We can't forget crying on each other's shoulder.
The sky's cloudy 'cause we're lonely,
But soon we'll see a change in the weather,
Two lonely hearts beating as one,
Every kiss, every hug
Seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms
I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love was something I could take or leave alone
But now I couldn't do without my supply
I need you for my own
Oh, I can't break away
I must have you everyday
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't get free
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across a meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young
2nd time around.....
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I wanna go and play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across a meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you, you make me feel so young
...You make me feel so young
...You make me feel so young
Are you wearing old dreams, breaking out at the seams.
These should be new.
And have I got a bargain, you lucky people you.
Here's the hollyhock scent makes the lady you send feel well-to-do
And the price fits your pocket, you lucky people you.
Then here the green velvet landscape and to prove I'm no rogue,
I'll add a smart looking rainbow like you see pictured in Vogue.
I've a wonderful buy in a wrap-around sky of moonlight blue,
By calling me all those names.
I'll admit you got really next to me somehow.
I wish that I'd get the best of you,
The way that you did my heart,
But I've got no encouragement from the start.
It depends on what you consider the best,
When you get the best of me.
But when you get through taking over the best,
You can have the rest of me.
Now I consider the best of me
The love that I always give,
If you thought that you got the best of me,
Love was like a song
A lovely melody
Our hearts would sing along
In perfect harmony
But you forgot all the words
While I still remember the tune
Each time our lips would cling
I heard a serenade
Of love and youth and spring
Forever to be played
But you forgot all the words
While I still remember the tune
We used to dance
Instead of walk
We used to sing
Instead of talk
Why was our love song
That used to be
Only the start of the blues for me
But songs are funny things
They never really die
And so my hope still clings
That someday you will try
To just remember the words
For I still remember the tune
When lonely lights are lit
And midnight songs will start
Our song I must admit
Still fills my hopeful heart
So please remember the words
For I still remember the tune
CHORUS:
You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
That's Why I'll Always Stay Around
You Are The Apple Of My Eye
Forever You'll Stay In My Heart
I Feel Like This Is The Beginning
Though I've Loved You For A Million Years
And If I Thought Our Love Was Ending
I'd Find Myself Drowning In My Own Tears
CHORUS
You Must Have Known That I Was Lonely
Because You Came To My Rescue
And I Know That This Must Be Heaven
How Could So Much Love Be Inside Of You
CHORUS
CHORUS
f the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me
And if the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to sleep my whole life through
You brought a new love to me
I know that I'm the slave, you're the queen
Still you can understand that underneath it all
You're a maid and I am only a man
I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
Darling you and I know the reason why a summer sky is blue
And we know why birds in the trees sing melodies too.
And why love will grow from the first hello until the last goodbye.
You'll shout when it hits you - yes indeed!
Yes you'll shout when it hits you - yes indeed!
When the spirit moves you, you'll shout: "hallelujah!"
You and me, we wanted it all we wanted it all
Passion without pain, sunshine without rainy days
We wanted it always
You and me, we reached for the sky, the limit was high
Never giving in, certain we could win that prize
I should have seen it in your eyes
Look how all our dreams came true
See how I've got me and, baby, you've got you
Through it all, just one thing died
A little thing called love, something deep inside
You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best
Back when we were dumb, how did we become so smart
And learn to break each other's heart?
Look how all our dreams came true
See how I've got me, baby, you've got you
Through it all, just one thing died
A little thing called love, something deep inside
You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best
But look what we became, isn't it a cryin' shame
That we almost made it?
But we wanted it all
Baby, you and me
We wanted it all
Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now
Yes, ma'm, we've decided
No ma'm, we won't hide it
Yes, ma'm, you're invited now
By the way, by the way
When we meet the preacher I'll say
Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
I remember when the sunlight had a special kind of brightness
And laughter held a lover's kind of lightness, Yellow days, yellow days.
She would hold me and the smile would spread around us so completely
And the softness of a kiss would linger sweetly, Yellow days, yellow days.
But then came thunder and I heard her say "goodbye"
Through tears of wonder, Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
Yellow days, where'd you go?
Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember Yellow days, yellow days.
Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
Yellow days, where'd you go?
Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
When skies are cloudy and grey
They're only grey for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Until that sunshine peeps through
There's only one thing to do
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream all your troubles away
Your castles may tumble (that's fate after all)
Life's really funny that way
No use to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren't you king for a day?
Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Your castles may tumble (that's fate after all)
Life's really funny that way
But no need to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren't you king for a day?
Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
When all the songs are out of tune,
And all the rhymes ring so untrue;
When I don't find the words to say -
The thoughts I long to bring to you;
When I hear lonely singers
Who are just as lost as me -
Making noise, not melody:
You will be my music.
You will be song.
You will be my music.
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
I'll never find the song to tell me
All the things I need to say.
And I'm afraid as time goes by
That someday soon you'll go away.
And I'll be lost in trying
For songs I'll never sing.
Wanting you is everything:
You will be my music.
You will be song.
You will be my music.
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
I can't wait any longer for my song.
Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never have been
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn, would never see a plow
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A man is born, but he's no good no how
Without a song
I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along, as long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall
I only know, there ain't no love at all
I think of you with every breath I take,
And every breath becomes a sigh.
Not a sigh of despair
But a sigh that I care for you.
I hear your name with every breath I take,
On every breeze that wanders by.
And your name is a song
I'll remember the long years through.
Even though I walk alone you guide me,
In the darkness you light my way.
And all the while inside me,
Love seems to say, "some day, some day".
And when I sleep you keep my heart awake,
But when I wake from dreams divine,
Every breath that I take, is a prayer that I'll make you mine.
"Some day, some day,"
And when I sleep you keep my heart awake,
And when I wake from dreams divine,
Writers: Miller/Conn
I don't know why I should - cry over you
Sigh over you - even be blue
I should have known - that you'd leave me alone
And break - my heart in two
Although you have left me - alone to pine
And all of my love was - a (big fat) waste of time
Someday your heart will be - broken like mine
So why should I cry over you
(You broke my heart - you took it apart)
(So pack up your baggage and beat it)
(- Why should I cry over you)
Where are you
Where have you gone without me
I thought you cared about me
Where are you
Where's my heart
Where is the dream we started
I can't believe we're parted
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is my happy ending
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is that happy ending
Where are you
Where are you
I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I've got some habits
Even I can't explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now
I sit and daydream
I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends
Leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now
Why can't I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that's not for me
Cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by
So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Where is the one
Who'll end the search I'm making
Where is the one
Who'll change my dream to waking
Behind some far off secret door
There's my love
There's my life
In store
The journey's long
Much longer than I reckoned
In any throng
I'll know her in a second
Some lucky day
I'm bound to find her
And when I do
I'll find love
The journey's long
Much longer than I reckoned
In any throng
I'll know her in a second
Some lucky day
I'm bound to find her
And when I do
Who stole my heart away,
Who makes me dream all day
Dreams I know will never come true,
Seems as though I'll ever be blue.
Who means my happiness
Who would I answer yes to,
Well you oughta guess
Whispering while you cuddle near me,
Whispering so no one can hear me,
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true, there's no one, dear, but you.
Whispering why you'll never leave me,
Whispering why you'll never grieve me,
Whisper and say that you'll believe me
AUTHOR: Music: Michel Legrand; Lyrics: Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
When no one cares
And the phone never rings
The nights are endless things
You're like a child that cries
And no one heeds the crying
You're like a falling star that dies
And seems to go on dying
When no one cares
You just count souvenirs
And they glisten with your tears
You can't believe a love like hers
Could come from someone new
Whatever happened to Christmas? It's gone and left no traces,
Whatever happened to the faces or the glow,
Whatever happened to Christmas, to Christmas way of living?
Whatever happened to the giving, the magic in the snow?
Remember the sight and the smell and the sound,
And remember hearing the call,
Remember how love was all around, whatever happened to it all?
Whatever happened to Christmas, bells in the streets were ringing,
Whatever happened to the singing, the songs we used to know.
Whatever happened to this Christmas, and when did it disappear from view,
Where was I, and whatever happened to you?
You should have told me when it all began
You should have told me long ago
Someday I know you're gonna find
Just one mistake is not enough
To change my mind
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
And if the doubting faces made you go
It's only mine that matters now
Those looks will soon begin to fade
If you come back and show them all
You're not afraid
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
Now that you know how much I understand
You have no reason to be gone
And if you feel at all like me
Just let me know
I'll make it like it used to be
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do
What'll I do
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
My name is Francis Albert (Francis Albert Sinatra)
And I sing love songs mostly after dark, mostly in salons.
I've had some very good years.
I haven't missed a whole lot in those firecracker years,
And I don't want to miss a thing when the future appears.
I like to sit outside on a summer night with a drink in my hand.
And a little moonlit music on the stereo, and look at the stars.
Then I get an urge to travel to that fabulous sky,
If they can do it in the movies, why can't I?
"Seats are now available on the Satellite Special",
"leaving for Mercury and Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Neptune."
What time is the next miracle, I want to be on board,
Save me a seat by the window where I can see
All those marvelous things to be seen out there.
(The things to be seen out there, all there)
What time does the next miracle leave?
Let's get this show on the road,
And when the Satellite Tours begin,
Count me in,
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
(musical interlude)
When I arrive at Venus, it will surely be spring,
And the girl I have waited for, will be waiting for me,
And she'll dance with me all the afternoon,
Comfort me when the darkness falls,
And she'll still be there in the morning when I need her the most.
Maybe when I get to Venus, I will never be lonely again.
"The Satellite Special leaving for Jupiter, Saturn,"
"Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn," (Jupiter, Saturn)
Jupiter makes with the rain, Saturn makes with the crop,
A nicer trade was never made, and hopefully never stops.
If Saturn's fields are dry, Jupiter won't stay fat,
So Jupiter leaves its fortunes on and
"Next stop, Pluto where the devils dwell, hahahahahahaha"
Pluto is a rotten place an evil place they got in space,
It's Hades (it's Hades) filled with rats for self-defense,
A sordid flock of Cr妋e Nomen.
And ladies (ladies? Ladies, ladies, ladies)
It's pure hell when your journey ends there,
But you can bet your ass I'll lead a lot of friends there,
(We're getting R A )
"Next stop, Mercury, Mercury, Neptune"
Mercury will lead us out to Neptune and her deep blue sea.
(musical interlude)
(And then) And then to Uranus (Uranus)
Uranus is heaven,
(Heaven, heaven, oh you know indeed, is it really heaven?)
How will I know? I will know, if they need me at the station,
With some cheese and some Mayo pizza,
Well done (well done), and a little red wine.
"The Satellite Special now leaving non-stop for earth, non-stop for earth"
(Move along, move along, it's time we were getting on board.)
Please let me off at the desert, where I can see
All those wonderful things to be seen down there.
Writers: Cahn/van Heusen
Love is lovelier, the second time around
Just as wonderful, with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say, what brought us to this miracle we've found
There are those who'd bet
Love comes but once - and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
You always looked a little out of place
All grown up with freckles on your face
We’d spend each night with company
Just you, the teddy bear, the dolls and me
What a funny girl you used to be
You always had a thousand things to do
Getting all involved with something new
Always some new recipe the kitchen
Always looked like world war three
What a funny girl you used to be
It was so good with you around
You always found a smile
Where smiles could not be found
I never ever met a person more sincere
You’d always listen with an open ear
You’d fall for lines so easily
Whatever they were selling you’d buy three
What a funny girl you used to be
What a funny girl you used to be...
No tears, no fears,
remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part,
we'll be together again
Your kiss, your smile,
are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart,
we'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome,
times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you,
don't let the blues make you bad
Someday, someway,
we both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not good-bye,
we'll be together again
We three, we're all alone, living in a memory --
My echo, my shadow and me.
We three, we're not a crowd, we're not even company --
My echo, my shadow, and me.
What good is the moonlight, the silvery moonlight
That shines above.
I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo,
But where is the one I love?
We three, we'll wait for you, even till eternity -
Old Watertown
Nothing much happenin'
Down on Main
'Cept a little rain
Old Watertown
Everyone knows
The perfect crime
Killin' time
And no one's goin' anywhere
Livin's much too easy there
It can never be a lonely place
When there's the shelter of familiar faces
Who can say
It's not that way
Old Watertown
So much excitement
To be found
Hangin' round
There's someone standing in the rain
Waiting for the morning train
It's gonna be a lonely place
Without the look of familiar faces
But who can say
Let someone start believing in you,
let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens
One someone who can look in your eyes,
and see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens
Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you,
and what magic you'll see
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you.
and what magic you'll see
Let someone give his heart,
someone who cares like me
Wait for me my love my restless heart must roam
Wait for me my love and i`ll be coming home.
But now i cant change something strange roars me on
My love cant you see i`m not free `till it`s gone.
Wait for me my love for i am young in dream
and my heart must chase those ripples on the stream.
So keep faith in your heart keep your love ever true
for if you felt like me i`d wait for you.
(Femail Chorous Interlude)
So keep faith in your heart keep ypur love ever true
Volare, oh oh, cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let’s fly way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we’ll find
Volare, oh oh, e contare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d’improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
Volare, oh oh, e contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu
E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiu
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me
Volare, oh oh, e cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu
(this is the english version)
Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears,
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears,
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.
Volare, oh, oh! cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let’s fly way up in the clouds,away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we’ll find
Volare, oh, oh! cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings, your love has given me wings

Don't you know I'd work for you, I'd slave for you
Be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Gladly move the earth for you
Prove my love dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words dear at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby - come what may
My heart is yours - what more can I say
I would cry for you, even sigh for you
Tear those stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Walk on burning coals for you
I would drive the Chrysler,leave the Rolls for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I would try to hit high "C" for you
I'd even punch out Mr. T for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
There's not a thing that you can't ask of me
Go on, demand any task of me
If you want the moon or a lavaliere
All you got to do is nibble on my ear
I would rob, steal, beg, borrow, and lie for you
Lay my little body down and die for you
(If that ain't love - if that isn't love)
If that ain't love it will have to do
Unforgettable thats what you are..
Unforgettable though near or far..
Like a song of love that clings to me
how the thought of you does things to me
never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
and forever more (and forever more)
thats how you'll stay (thats how you'll stay)
thats why darling its incredible
that someone so unforgettable
thinks that i am unforgettable too
*music break*
No never before
Has someone been more
ooo unforgettable (unforgettable)
in every way (in every way)
and forever more (and forever more)
thats how you'll stay (thats how you'll stay)
thats why darling its incredible
that someone so unforgettable
thinks that i am unforgettable too.
Two in love can face the world together,
hearts that cuddle up will muddle through,
The world may rock and rumble,
crowds may groan and grumble,
Thrones may even tumble too,
Darling, two in love can face the stormy weather,
laugh aloud at every cloud above,
And so we'll show them all what love can do,
Sad is to live in solitude
far from your tranquil altitude
Sad is to know that no one ever can live on a dream
that never can be, will never be
dreamer awake, wake up and see.
Your beauty is an aeroplane
so high my heart can't bear the strain
A heart that stops when you pass by
only to cause me pain
And now the sun has broken through
It looks like it will stay
Just can't have you comin' home
On such a rainy day
The train is leaving Ellensville
Unless my watch is fast
The kids are comin' home from school
Must be quarter past
So many changes since you've been away
And there's so many things to say
This time around you'll want to stay
'Cuz I've had so many nights to find the way
Even bought that summer cottage yesterday
Pretty soon I'll be close to you
And it will be so good
We'll talk about the part of you
I never understood
And I will take good care of you
And never let you cry
We will look so much in love
To people passing by
So many changes since you've been away
And there's so many things to say
I wrote so many times and more
But the letters still are lying in my drawer
'Cuz the morning mail had left some time before
All the passengers for Allentown wait closer to the track
It's hard for me to realize you're really coming back
The crossing gate is coming down I think I see the train
The sun has gone and now my face is wet with heavy rain
The passengers for Allentown are gone
The train is slowly moving on
But I can't see you anyplace
And I know for sure I'd recognize your face
And I know for sure I'd recognize your face.

Rain falling from the skies
Like lonely tears through misty eyes
Rain streaming down my face
Brings memories my heart cannot erase
Here alone in all my sorrows
Waiting for the clouds to hurry by
Praying that a new tomorrow
Will put the sun back in the sky
Rain wash away my tears
So when that sun appears
I’ll see my love again
Down where you lose the day,
We found a new world where paradise starts,
We traded high way down where the trade winds play.
Music was everywhere, flowers were in her hair,
Under an awning of silvery boughs,
We traded vows the night that I sailed away.
Oh trade winds, what are vows that lovers make,
Oh trade winds, are they only made to break,
When it is May again, I'll sail away again,
Though I'm returning, it won't be the same,
I'm so afraid of night 'cause I'm too romantic.
Moonlight and stars can make such a fool of me.
You know you're much too near, and I am too romantic,
Wouldn't I be a sight on a bended knee.
I'm startled when you whisper, I'll run if you should sigh,
I must be so careful, or I'll kiss my heart goodbye.
You shouldn't let me dream 'cause I'm too romantic,
You're just to marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the phrase
That says enough, tells enough
I mean just aren't swell enough
You're much too much, and just too very very
To ever be, to ever be in the dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
To love - and be loved
That’s what life’s - all about
Keeps the stars - coming out
What makes a sad heart sing - the birds take wing
To love - and be loved
That’s what living - is for
Makes me want you the more - the more we cling
Let others race - to the moon
Through time and space - to the moon
My goal is greater than this
To reach your lips - to share your kiss
To stay - in your arms
Is the dream - I pursue
To be sheltered - and safe - from the storm
To be cozy - and ever - so warm
And for always - to love
And be loved - by you
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"
Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, much too close
You simply can't forget her
The moment you have met her
Your heart will never ever be the same
Tina, Tina, nobody else but Tina
That's the little lady's name
And once you've gone and kissed her
Give up you can't resist her
Your thoughts will wear her picture like a frame
Tina, Tina, nobody quite like Tina
That's the little lady's name
She'll merely smile and in a twinkling
You'll swear that smile contains a star
Before that smile you had no inkling
How much in love you really are
Let others look for angels
I have no time for angels
I've found someone more than just divine
Tina, Tina, no sir you can't have Tina
One dream in my heart, one love to be living for,
One love to be living for, this nearly was mine.
One girl for my dream, one partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise, this nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she came, only to fly away,
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.
Now, now I'm alone, still dreaming of paradise,
Still saying that paradise once nearly was mine.
How clear and deep are my fancies,
Of things I wish were true,
I'll keep remembering evenings,
I wish I'd spent with you,
I 'll keep remembering kisses from lips I'll never own,
And all the lovely adventures,
That we have never known.
Now, now I'm alone,
Still dreaming of paradise,
This town is a lonely town
Not the only town like-a this town
This town is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town
This town is a quiet town
Or a riot town like this town
This town is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town
This town is an all-right town
For an uptight town like-a this town
This town, it's a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-down town
This town is a losin' town
It's a miserable town
It's a nowhere town
And I am leavin' this town
You better believe that I'm leavin' this town
Man, it could never be uptown
It's bound to be downtown
This town, bye-bye
This love of mine goes on and on,
Tho' life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, tho' out of sight
It's lonesome thru the day,
But oh! the night.
I cry my heart out it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
The stars that shine,
This is the beginning of the end,
I can see it in your eyes, in everything you do,
And you're afraid to tell me that we're through
But I can tell by looking at you.
This is the beginning of the end,
You just give yourself away with everything you say,
And though you never told me we must part,
Still I can read the writing in your heart.
Why is it now when I hold your hand
There is some little something that I miss,
What has become of the warmth in your smile,
And where is that little mischief in your goodnight kiss?
This is the beginning of the end,
I can see the thrill is gone, why let it linger on,
Why lie to me and say it isn't so
For when I hold you in my arms I know
Love
This is my song
This is my song, my serenade to you
The world
Cannot be wrong
If in this world
There is you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So love
This is my song
This is my song, my serenade to you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So love
This is my song
This is my song
My serenade
As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasure
And so I happily concede
This is all I ask
This is all I need
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunset, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Grownups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true
Before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Writer(s): based on tchaikovsky’s violin concerto in d major
The glow of sunset in the summer skies,
The golden flicker of the fireflies,
The gleam of love light in your lovely eyes,
These are the things I love.
A silver moonbeam peeping through the trees,
A bed of tulips nodding in the breeze,
The look you give in answer to my pleas,
These are the things I love.
Oh, once I thought that life was just a winter thing,
My heart was cold, and then
You came to me and like a breath of spring,
You turned the silver snow to gold!
A robin’s serenade when day is through,
A bubbling brook beside our rendezvous,
Your sweet voice whisp’ring "darling, I love you",
These are the things I love.
They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And, with a moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me
I can't recall who said it
I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say
To leave your house some morning
And, without any warning
You're stopping people, shouting that love is grand
To hold a girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way
Sunrise over Taxco, streaking gold in the morning sky,
Sunrise over Taxco, spilling dreams on the lover's eye.
Down the valley, clear cathedral bells call the padres from their "doce sarao,"
Sunrise over Taxco, bringing peace to my love and I.
(musical interlude)

The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye."
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
There's something missing in the way you say hello,
Baby, your words don't have that feeling any more,
Every time you hold me in your arms,
it seems we're miles apart.
Am I the one you're holding in your heart?
There's something missing in the way your lips touch mine.
Baby, I miss the flame that came with every kiss.
Is it only my imagination at play
That tells me that there is someone new,
Or must I really go on missing you?
Is it only my imagination at play
That tells me that there is someone new,

And there used to be a ballpark
Where the field was warm and green
And the people played their crazy game
With a joy I’d never seen.
And the air was such a wonder
From the hot dogs and the beer
Yes, there used a ballpark, right here.
And there used to be rock candy
And a great big fourth of july
With fireworks exploding
All across the summer sky
And the people watched in wonder
How they’d laugh and how they’d cheer
And there used to be a ballpark, right here.
Now the children try to find it
And they can’t believe their eyes
'cause the old team just isn’t playing
And the new team hardly tries
And the sky has got so cloudy
When it used to be so clear
And the summer went so quickly this year.
Yes, there used to be a ballpark, right here.
Start spreadin' the news, i'm leavin' today. I want to be a part of it
New York, New York.
These vagabon shoes, are longing to stray, right through the very
heart of it, New York, New York.
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep. And find i'm King of the
Hill, Top of the Heap.
These little-town blues, are melting away. I'll make a brand new start
of it in old New York. If I can make it there, i'll make it anywhere.
Its up to you New York, New York.
New York, New York. I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps.
And find i'm A-number-1, top of the list. King of the Hill, A-number-1.
These little town blues, are melting away. I'm gonna make a brand new
start of it, in old New York. And, if I can make it there, i'm gonna make
it anywhere.
It's up to you New York, New York. New York!
Over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Once when you walked beside me
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew
When we two were in love
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took, it turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
Here was I, a gypsy,
looking for a world to roam in,
Now the world is in my arms.
No more endless searching for a place to feel at home in,
For the world is in my arms.
Mexican hill flower the sky,
Sappoco see here in your eye
When I see you smile,
I see the sunset of Geneva,
what's that magic in your charms,
When I hold you,
The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back
The leaves began to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
I've tried so to forget, at times I do, and yet
The mem'ry of you lingers like our song
is it an earthquake? or simply a shock?
is it a good turtle soup? or merely a muck?
is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
or is what i feel, the real mccoy?
is it for all time? or simply a lark?
is it granata i see? or only raspberry pie?
is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?
or is it at long last love?
is it an earthquake? or simply a shock?

The most beautiful girl in the world picks my ties out
She eats my candy, she drinks my brandy
The most beautiful girl in the world
The most beautiful star in the world, 'tisn't Garbo
T'sn't Dietrich, but a sweet trick
Who can make me believe it's a beautiful world
Social ? Not a bit! Natural kind of wit
She'd shine anywhere, and she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world has a mortgage
What do I care ? It's "Good-bye, care"
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world
Social ? Not a bit! She's got a natural kind of wit.
And I tell ya, she'd shine anywhere, and she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world, it has a mortgage
What do I care ? It's "Good-bye, care"
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl
The one and only beautiful girl
It's the dance you should know,
when the lights are down low,
Grab your baby,
then go,
do the hucklebuck,
do the hucklebuck,
If you don't know how to do it,
boy,
you're out of luck,
Push your partner out,
then you hunch your back,
Have a little movement in your sacroiliac,
Wiggle like a snake,
wobble like a duck,
The moment I saw her smile,
I knew she was just my style.
My only regret is we've never met for I dream of her all the while,
But she doesn't know I exist,
no matter how I persist.
So it's clear to see there's no hope for me,
Though I live at fifty-one thirty-five Kensngton Avenue,
And she lives at fifty-one thirty three.
How can I ignore the girl next door,
I love her more than I can say.
Doesn't try to please me,
doesn't even tease me,
And she never sees me glance her way.
And I though I'm heartsore,
the girl next door
Affection for me won't display.
I just adore her so I can't ignore her,
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued, both day and night.
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far,
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star whereever it went.
This star drew nigh to the northwest;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest.
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place whcre Jesus lay.
Then they did know assuredly
Within that house, the King did lie
One entered in then for to see
And found the babe in poverty.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently, upon bended knee,
And offered there, in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
If we in our time do well
We shall be free from death and hell
For God hath prepared for us all
It's something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra-new
It's very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance
You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, ooh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and so sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with her and she's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You can't get cherry soda
'Cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say no no no
The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
So you'll add to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
Hey there, mister, build a fence 'round your sister, it's the...
The boys' night out.
Hey there, buster, it's the Indians after Custer, it's the,
The boys' night out.
They're out to do the town, and before they're through,
It's bound to be likened to.
The night they lost the Titanic and the Wall Street panic.
What they're seeking is a little cheek to cheeking, it's the..
The boys' night out,
And that moon's about as big as a honey dew,
It's the boys' night out, and they're so romantic, I'll give you a clue,
What the boys are out after, the girls are out after too.

What the boys are out after, the girls are out after,
That's how it goes when you're in love with someone,
And someone's not in love with you.
It seems your heart and soul defy each frustrated desire
Of not seeing you, nothing I can do.
That's how it goes when you're in need of someone,
Who understands the way you feel,
But that's a dream that never will come true,

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
Take me, I'm yours if you'll take me, I want you to make me a part of your heart.
And hold me, I dreamed you would hold me, now really enfold me, say we'll never part.
All the love I have to give, I want to give to you,
And as long as I shall live, I'll only live for you,
Take me, and never forsake me,
Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
When he's playing with his choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer sky
When you see her you're gonna realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
When it's raining I don't miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie's smile
Just think that I'm the lucky one
Who will lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry my Lorraine
When it's raining I never miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie smile
Just the think that I'm the lucky one
Who's gonna lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
That'll be the day when I marry my Lorraine
Everybody's hand in hand
Swingin' down the lane
Everybody's feelin' grand
Swingin' down the lane
That's the time I miss the bliss
That we might have known
Nights like this
When I'm all alone
When the moon is on the rise
Baby I'm so blue
Watchin' lovers makin' eyes
Like we used to do
When the moon is on the way
Still I'm waitin' all in vain
Should be swingin' down the lane
NOTE: There may well be more lyrics than this short 1:00 version, which was broadcast on "Your Hit
Parade" in 1944. Additions from a longer version are welcome.
I'm blue ev'ry Monday thinkin' over Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
It seems that I sigh all day Tuesday and I cry all day Wednesday
Oh, my, how I long for you
And then comes Thursday
Gee, it's long and never goes by
Friday makes me feel like I'm gonna die
But after payday is my fun day, I shine all day Sunday
Summer me, winter me
And with your kisses
Morning me, evening me
And as the world slips
Far away, star away
Forever me with love
Wonder me, wander me
Then by a fire
Pleasure me, peaceful me
And in the silence
Quietly, whisper me
Forever me with love
Forever me with love
And ev'ry day I'll
Gentle you, tender you
And oh, the way I'll
Velvet you, clover you
I'll wrap you up and
Ribbon you, rainbow you
And shower you with Love!
Suddenly, magically
We found each other
There we were, here we are
I plan to let you
Happy me, summer me
The song a robin sings,
Through years of endless springs,
The murmur of a brook at eventide,
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.
That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and I agree,
She's everything on earth to me.
That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and i agree,
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
was looked on as something shocking.
Now heaven knows, anything goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words,
now only use fourletter words writing prose,
anything goes.
The world has gone mad today,
and good´s bad today, and black´s white today,
and day´s nicht today,
When most guys today that women prize today
are just silly gigolos.
So though I´m not a great romancer,
I know that you´re bound to answer
when I propose, anything goes.
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
was looked on as something shocking.
Now heaven knows, anything goes.
And good authors too woho once knwe
better words, now only use fourletter words
writing prose, cause anything goes.
The world has gone mad today,
and good´s bad today, and bla´s white today,
and day´s night today,
When most guys today that women prize today
are just silly gigolos.
So though I´m not a great remancer,
I know that you´re bound to answer
when I propose, anything goes.
May I say before this record spins to a close,
I want you to know anything goes.
May I say before this record spins to a close,
I want you to know anything goes.
May I say before this record spins to a close,
I want you to know anything goes.
May I say before this record spins to a close,
I want you to know anything goes.

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
("I love you, I love you,...")
Verse:
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust
Of yesterday
The music
Of the years
Gone by
Chorus:
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song.
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you.
When our love was new, and each kiss an inspiration.
But that was long ago, and now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.
Beside the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain, in my heart you will remain
My stardust melody
If the lady's naughty but proper
If the lady's chic-er than chic
If her escorts must wear a topper
And each man's the man of the week
If she rides around in a brand new foreign car
The chances are the lady's a star
If the lady's utterly charming
If the lady's chummy with kings
If her whims are close to alarming
And it's known she's thrown a few things
If they've got a drink with her name in Jilly's bar
The chances are the lady's a star
If her smallest party is really expensive
With tons of expensive caviar
If the lady is someone with the same credentials
Someone with the same essentials
Someone who is worshipped from afar
She's a genuine - positive - totally - marvelous - perfectly - wonderful
Once there was a thing called spring,
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine.
All the lads and girls would sing,
When we sat at little tables and drank May wine.
Now April, May, and June are sadly out of tune,
life has stuck a pin in the balloon.
Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me,
maybe it's because nobody needs me?
Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear! Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me,
Speak low when you speak, love
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "manjanna"
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
Somewhere in your heart
Try to find a place for me,
Somewhere in your heart
I don't care where it might be.
One little corner
May not mean that much to you,
But one little corner
Will be enough to see me through.
Somewhere in your dreams
Let my lips come close to you,
Though they're only dreams
Someday they may all come true.
Is it so much to ask
For such a tiny part?
Won't you save a place for me,
Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waitin' for me
My lover stands on golden sand
And watches the ships that go sailin'
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watchin' for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailin'
It's far beyond the star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'
***INSTRUMENTAL BREAK***
I know beyond a doubt,
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet, I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be, beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'
(No more sailin')
(So long sailin')
(Byebye sailin')
When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no, because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gotta be kissed
So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store?
>From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore
But how long can anyone try?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might
Chances are some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Fight fight fight it with all of your might
Chances are that some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To her heart I'll carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
(Softly, long before you kiss me)
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
(For one more hour) or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there (Take out the second I)
Go on your way with the cloudless blue sky above
May all your days be a wonderful song of love
Open your arms and sing of all the hidden hopes you'll ever treasure
And live out your life in peace
Where shall I look for the love to replace you
Someone to light up my life
Someone with strange little ways
Eyes like a blue autumn haze
Someone with your laughing style
And a smile that I know will keep haunting me endlessly
Sometimes in stars or the swift flight of seabirds
I catch a moment of you
Thats why I walk all alone
Searching for something unknown
Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du
Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du
I´m singin´ in the rain
Just singin´ in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
And I´m happy again.
I´m laughing at clouds
So dark, up above,
The sun´s in my heart
And I´m ready for love.
Let the stormy clouds chase.
Everyone from the place,
Come on with the rain
I have a smile on my face.
I´ll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin', singin' in the rain.
Dancing in the rain.
I'm happy again.
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain.
Dancin' and singin' in the rain.
She says she's sleeping well
She says she's lost some weight
She says she's seen some shows
She says the city's strange
(So she says)
She says the weather's cold
She says there's been some rain
She says there's lots to see
She says she hopes we're fine
(So she says)
(So she says)
The price is high
High as the sky
And she says
She says
There were shadows on the sand closely mingled,
Just two lovers by a moonlit sea,
While I watched I thought of you and I tingled,
For they kissed the way you did with me.
Then the shadows on the sand came much nearer,
And the moon was like a spotlight then,
There was one familiar face showing clearer,
It was you, I couldn't look again.
I felt so sad, there you were with someone new,
I felt so glad, when I found it wasn't true.
For the shadows on the sand seemed to break up,
And I looked around me with a start,
When the pounding of my heart made me wake up.
Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up is underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
Come the day that your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry
Wait till your charms are right, for the arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
When I hear that serenade in blue
I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you
Sharing all the joys we used to know, many moons ago.
Once again your face comes back to me
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
In the album of my memory, serenade in blue
It seems like only yesterday, the small cafe, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away, I hear you say forever more
And then the song became a sigh
Forever more became goodbye
But you remained in my heart, so
Tell me darling is there still a spark?
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that: "All aboard!"
Seven, that's the time we leave at - seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track - that takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take this sentimental journey

Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don't mind Sunday night at all
'Cause that's the night friends come to call
And Monday to Friday go fast
And another week is past
But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
mmmm... Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
’cause that’s the night that my sweetie and i
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don’t mind sunday night at all
’cause that’s the night friends come to call
And monday to friday go fast
And another week is past
But saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Mmmm... saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Each place I go only the lonely go
Some little small cafè
The songs I know only the lonely know
Each melody recalls a love that used to be
The dreams I dream only the lonely dream
Of lips as warm as May
That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme
That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care
And you recall each fun time
Those picnics at the beach when love was new
It well could be the one time
A hopeless little dream like that comes true
If you find love hang on to each caress
And never let love go
For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin', comin' to town
he's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' , comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
he knows when you're awake
he knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin', comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
he knows when you're awake
he knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Quiet nights of quiet stars (corcovado)
Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim
Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea, oh how lovely
This is where I want to be here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life’s ember.
I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you,
The meaning of existence, oh my love
Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
(Musical Interlude)
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
Poor Butterfly
'Neath the blossoms waiting
Poor Butterfly
For she loved him so
The moments pass into hours
The hours pass into years
And as she smiles through her tears
She murmurs low
The moon and I
Know that he'll be faithful
I know he'll come to me
By and by
But if he don't come back
Then I'll never sigh or cry
I just must die
This is my first affair - please be kind
Handle my heart with care - please be kind
This is all so grand
My dreams are on parade
If you'll just understand
They'll never, never fade
So tell me your love's sincere - please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear - please be kind
'Cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart - will lose its mind
Now nothing's impossible, I've found for when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again.
Don't lose your confidence if you slip, be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up, dust off, start over again.
Work like a soul inspired until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired, but you be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall to rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, start all over again.
(musical interlude)
You gotta work like a soul inspired until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired, but you be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall and then to rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.
(musical interlude)
Once again now:
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall and then rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

Nathan, you must concentrate on the game. the town is up to here with high players. the greek’s in
Town. freddie bottle bates, scranton slim.
Nathan: I know, I know, I could make a fortune, but to make a fortune, I need a fortune. a thousand
Bucks, where do I get it?
The biltmore garage wants a grand, but we ain’t got a grand on hand.
And they now got a lock on the door to the gym at public school 84.
There’s a stock room behind mcklosky’s bar, but mrs. mcklosky ain’t a good scout.
And things being how they are, the back of the police station is out!
So the biltmore garage is the spot, but the one thousand bucks we ain’t got.
Why, it’s good old reliable nathan, nathan, nathan, nathan detroit,
If you’re looking for action, he’ll turn it to spot,
Even when the heat is on, it’s never too hot.
But for the good old reliable nathan, oh it’s only just a short walk,
To the oldest established permanent floating crap game in new yawk.
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere, everywhere,
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere,
And awful lot of lettuce for the fella who can get us to play.
If we only had a lousy little crap, we could be a millionaire.
Oh the good old reliable nathan, nathan, nathan, nathan detroit,
If the size of your bundle you want to increase,
I’ll arrange that you go broke in quiet and peace,
In a hideout provided by nathan, where there are no neighbors to squawk,
It’s the oldest established permanent floating crap game in new yawk.
Where’s the action? where’s the game?
Gotta have the game or we’ll die from shame.
It’s the oldest established permanent floating crap game in new york.
Don't throw bouquets at me, don't please my folks too much,
Don't laugh at my jokes too much, people will say we're in love.
Don't sigh and gaze at me, your sighs are so like mine,
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine, people will say we're in love.
Don't start collecting things, give me my rose and my glove,
Sweetheart, they're suspecting things, people will say we're in love.
Don't praise my charm to much, don't look so vain with me,
Don't stand in the rain with me, people will say we're in love.
Don't take my arm too much, don't keep your hand in mine,
Your hand feels so grand in mine, people will say we're in love.
Don't dance all night with me, till the stars fade out of sight,
And when she holds my hand, mmmm, mmmm
And I will understand, mmmm, mmmm.
One kiss afire with one desire,
a heavenly kiss could I resist?
And then I turn the light, mmmm, mmmm.
And then she hold me tight, mmmm, mmmm.
One kiss one fond caress will lead the way to happiness
You came to me from out of nowhere, you took my heart and found it free,
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere,
Make every hour as sweet as a flower to me.
If you should go back to your nowhere. leaving me with just a memory,
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere,
You will like the folks you meet - in our town
The folks you meet on any street - in our town
Pick out any cottage - white or brown
They're all so appealing - with that lived in feeling
You will like the shady lanes - in our town
The music of the passing trains - in our town
You will lose your heart - I promise you
In this - our two-by-four town
Welcome - on the door town

This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are sure to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new note is the consequence of the one we’ve just been through
As I’m bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
There’s so many people who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know and at the end I’ve come
To nothing I mean nothing
So I come back to my first note as I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note all the love I feel for you
Any one who wants the whole show show do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ci-do
He will find himself with no show better play the note you know
It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set em' up Joe
I got a little story
You oughta know
We're drinkin' my friend
To the end of a brief episosde
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine
So put another nickel
In that there machine
I'm feelin' so bad
Will you make the music
Pretty and sad
I could tell you alot
But you've gotta' be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You would never know it
But buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got alot of things I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy
Please listen to me
Till its all talked away
Well, that's how it goes
And Joe I know
You're gettin' pretty anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind,
My bend in your ear
This torch that I've found
It's got be drowned
Or it soon might explode.
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long, man it's long
It's a long long road
Grab your coat and snatch your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep.
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.
Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune in your step.
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with the blues on parade.
BUT I'M NOT afraid the rover, crossed over.
If I never had a cent I'll be rich as Rockfeller.
The gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade.
But I'm not afraid 'cause the rover, he got over.
If I never had a cent I'd be rich as Rockfeller.
All those chicks 'round my feet,
On a clear day,
Rise and look around you,
And you’ll see who you are.
On a clear day,
How it will astound you
That the glow of your feelings outshines every star.
You will follow every mountain,
Sea and shore,
You will see from far and near a world you’ve never seen before.
On a clear day,
On a clear day,
You can see forever,
And ever, and ever more.
On a clear day,
rise and look around you,
and you'll see who you are.
On a clear day,
how it will astound you
That the glow of your BEING outshines every star.
You'LL FEEL PART OF every mountain,
sea and shore,
You CAN HEAR from far and hear a WORLD you've never HEARD before.
On a clear day,
on a clear day,
you can see forever,
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm there was a chick
The purtiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick, she had curves everywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And oh, this chick, she had a walk, E-I-E-I-O
And how this walk would drive 'em wild swingin' to and 'fro
With a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there
Man, this chick had wiggles to spare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
When she went walkin' into town, E-I-E-I-O
The local gentry popped their eyes
Tarnation, what a show
With a goldang here and a goshdarn there
Heavens to Betsy I do declare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O
There was a barn dance Saturday night, E-I-E-I-O
And the fellas came from miles around
Just to see her do-si-do
With a promenade here and a promenade there
At a square dance, boy, this chick was no square
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
I used to be a travelling man, E-I-O
Until I hit MacDonald's place things were mighty slow
With a little chick here and a little chick there
I didn't have a real chick anywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
This farmer's daughter knocked me out, E-I-E-I-O, ah-hah
I asked MacDonald for her hand
And Pappy hollered Go!
With a little curve here and a little wiggle there
A goldang here and a goshdarn there
A do-si-do here and a promenade there
Got my own private county fair
'cause ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-O-I-O!!
When they met, the way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon
What did you do
And when they kissed, they tried to say
That it was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon
Look what you've done
Once you promised me, you know
That it would never end
You should be ashamed to show
Your funny face my friend
(And) There they are, they fell in love
I guess you think that you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon
If your're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod
Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of trees beneath the skies of blue
Church bell chiming on a Sunday morn
remind you of a town where you were born
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cap Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod
I look at you and suddenly,
Something in your eyes I see;
Soon begins bewitching me.
It's that old devil moon;
That you stole from the skies.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
You and you glance;
Make this romance;
Too hot to handle.
Stars in the night;
Blazing their light;
Can't hold a candle;
To your razzle-dazzle.
You've got me flyin' high and wide;
On a magic carpet ride;
Full of butterflies inside.
Wanna cry, wanna croon,
Wanna laugh like a loon.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
Just when I think, I'm;
Free as a dove.
Old devil moon,
Deep in your eyes,
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.
Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boundless arch I see
Spread out above me
O(h) what a distance drear to one
Who loves me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far
From joy and gladness
My senses fail
A burning fire
Devours me
None but the lonely heart
No one ever tells you what's like to love and lose,
How it feels to waken and have breakfast with the blues,
How to go on living, how to face another day,
No one ever tells you the way.
No one ever tells you how it feels to walk alone,
Listening for those footsteps through the echo of your own.
Suddenly it hits you all those dreams WEREN'T worth a dime,
Cause no one ever tells you in time.
Long before the icy winds of winter,
Autumn tells the swallows, time to fly,
Why did she pretend till the bitter end
Till it broke my heart to say goodbye.
No one ever tells you that it's just another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to SING
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
(instrumental)
No one ever tells you that it's just another fling,
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
I knew the time had to come
When I'd be held under your thumb
I'm like a pawn in your hand
Moved and compelled, at your command
Whether it's for bad or for good
I would never change it if I could
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for cryin' the blues
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you
In spite of all I could do
I went ahead falling for you
So if I laugh or I cry
I made my bed, that's where I'll lie
For what happens there's no excuse
Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york
I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill - top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you - new york, new york
New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find I’m a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one
These little town blues, are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere
It up to you - new york new york
New york
If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Gee, what a thrill each time I kiss her
Believe me, I've got a case
On Nancy, with the laughin' face
She takes the winter and she makes it summer
And summer could take a few lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughin' face
Did you ever hear mission bells ringing?
Well, she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say 'hello'
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her
Sorry for you, she has no sister
No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughin' face
We fell in love one summer night,
The stars hang low, the moon was white,
That's where I'll start when I write my memoirs.
The way you look, the things you said,
The clothes you wore, the books you read,
I'll tell of all these things in my memoirs.
As the pages turn, love lives anew, worth paint a picture of you
Read between the lines, dear, if you will,
And you will learn that I love you still.
And there's a footnote referring you
Back to the night you said we're through.
There's nothing more to say in my memoirs.
[We fell in love one summer night,]
[The stars hang low, the moon was white,]
[That's where I'll start when I write my memoirs.]
[The way you look, the things you said,]
[The clothes you wore, the books you read,]
[I'll tell of all these things in my memoirs.]
As the pages turn, love lives anew, worth paint a picture of you
Read between the lines, dear, if you will,
And you will learn that I love you still.
(And there's a footnote referring you)
(Back to the night) you said we're through
Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this.
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss:
This is my kind of town.
Chicago is,
My kind of town,Chicago is,
My kind of people, too;
People who smile at you,
And each time I roam, Chicago is,
Callin' me home, Chicago is,
Why I just grin like a clown;
It's my kind of town.
My kind of town.
Chicago is my kind of town.
Chicago is my kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz,
And each time I leave, Chicago is,
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is,
The Wrigley Building,Chicago is,
The Union Stockyards, Chicago is,
One town that won't let you down;
I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts
Seemed romantic fools
A house in Iceland
Was my heart's domain
I saw your eyes
Now castles rise in Spain!
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still
Through all my school days
I hated boys
Those April Fool days
Brought me loveless joys
I read my Plato
Love, I thought a sin
But since your kiss
My baby don't care for shows,
my baby don't care for clothes,
My baby just cares for me.
My baby don't care for furs and laces,
My baby don't care for high toned places.
My baby don't care for rings,
or other expensive things.
She's sensible as can be.
My baby don't care who knows it,
The music stopped
But we were still dancing
Which goes to show
That music has charm
The lights were low
So we kept on dancing
I fealt the glow
Of you in my arms
(bridge)
The band had left the stand
And we were in heaven
Dancing on a cloud
Way off in the blue
The music stopped
And people were glancing
But we went on dancing
For we didn’t know
Because the lights were low
And we were in love
I stand at your gate.
And the song that I sing is of moonlight.
I stand and I wait
For the touch of your hand in the June night.
The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade.
The stars are aglow.
And tonight how their light sets me dreaming.
My love, do you know
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you, and I sing you a moonlight serenade.
Let us stray 'til break of day
In love's valley of dreams.
Just you and I, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze, kissin' the trees.
So don't let me wait.
Come to me tenderly in the June night.
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight.
Writer: Irving Berlin
There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and
romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have that chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a different tune - and then...
There may be teardrops to shed
So (But) while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and
romance
(Let's face the music and dance, dance)
(Let's face the music - let's here that music)
Let's face the music and dance
Moon River wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River
When they see Monique, I know they'll understand
Monique, Monique
I've hungered so for this
Monique, Monique
The magic of your kiss
Monique, Monique
Was Paris always there
Monique, Monique
I didn't know or care
But why am I dancing, my friends may well demand
I'll tell them Monique, Monique held my hand
Michael is you
He has your face
He still has your eyes
Remember
Peter is me
’cept when he smiles
And if you look
At them both
For a while
You can see
They are you
They are me
This spring we had some heavy rain
By summer it was dry again
The roses that we planted last fall
Climb the wall
I think the house could use some paint
You know your mother’s such a saint
She takes the boys whenever she can
She sure needs a man
All those years I’ve worked for santa fe
Never ever missed a single day
Just one more without a raise in pay
And I’m leavin’
And the air still has a country smell
And everyone is looking well
As far as anyone can tell
The sun will rise tomorrow
You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’
John henry came to cut the lawn
Again he asked me where you’d gone
Can’t tell you all the times he’s been told
But he’s so old
Guess that’s all the news I’ve got today
Least that’s all the news that I can say
Maybe soon the words will come my way
Tomorrow
And the air still has a country smell
And everyone is looking well
As far as anyone can tell
The sun will rise tomorrow
You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’
You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’...
(This is the duet with Sammy Davis, Jr.)
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.
Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's to Liza
Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to L.A.
We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!
Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Jilly's right after Toots Shor
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!
Say Frank?
What is it, Sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! From the ending!
Wonderful!
And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll drop in at Danny's, The Little Club too
But wind up at Jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Wow!)
For my shadow and me!
Frank?
Oh, forget it Sam.

I've seen that face before
That face that I see in the mirror
I know that face
I've seen that face before
I knew that dopey guy
When he didn't know how to tie his tie
He stood right there and he had hair galore
The man in the looking glass
Who can he be
The man in the looking glass
Can he possibly be me
Where's our young romeo
The lad who used to sigh
Who's the middle age lothario
With the twinkle in his eye
He seem so much wiser now
Less lonely but then
Could be he's only pretending again
Man in the looking glass smiling away
How's your sacroiliac today
Where's your first love affair
That trajedy d'amour
The true love you thought would be
The end of you for sure
The man in the looking glass
Have no regrets
The man who's wise never forgets
That life is worth living if once in a while
You can look in that looking glass and smile
Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy.
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you.
One gal you're everything to.
Fame, if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her,
Build your world around her.
Make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy
New York, New York
Or a village in Iowa
The only difference is the name
If you're alone
Whether on Main Street
Or on Broadway
If you're alone
They are both the same
A town's a lonely town
When you pass through
And there is no one waiting there for you
Then it's a lonely town
You wander up and down
The crowds rush by
A million faces pass before your eyes
Still it's a lonely town
Unless there's love
A love that's shining
Like a harbor light
You're lost in the night
Unless there's love
The world's an empty place
And every town's
They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you've had a very un lady like way of running out
You're on this date with me
The Pickens have been lush
And yet before this evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck, be a lady with me
A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice
Let's keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick me with me baby, I'm the fella you came in with
Luck, be a lady tonight
Luck, let a gentleman see
Just how nice , how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair , and it's not nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice
So let's keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady, tonight
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Denver
Before the summer storm
Oh, her eyes were tender
Oh, her arms were warm
And she could smile away the thunder
Kiss away the rain
Even though she's gone away
You won't hear me complain
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Portland
Before the winter chill
We used to go a-courtin'
Along October hill
And she could laugh away the dark clouds
Cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday
As down the road I go
I've been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way

Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look up - look up
And seek your maker
Before (Mr.) Gabriel blows his horn
(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road
Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before (before) you travel on
True love - true love
What have I done
That you should treat me so
You - caused me
To walk and talk
Like I never did before
(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road
Look down - look down (look down - look down)
That lonesome road
Before (before) you (decide to) travel on
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
but night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue
I want your love, but I don't wanna borrow
To have it today and to give back tomorrow
My love is your love
There's no love for nobody else
(Intermezzo)
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue
I want your love, but I don't wanna borrow
To have it today and to give back tomorrow
London by night is a wonderful sight
There is magic abroad in the air
I'm often told that the streets turn to gold
When the moon shines on * Circus and Square *
Deep in the dark that envelops the park
There's romance in each cigarette glow
Down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems
Seem to wink at each girl and her beau
Up comes the moon when the city's asleep
He's not alone, for it seems
Somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch
While each Londoner dreams
My love and I saw the sun leave the sky
Then we kissed in the fast-fading light
Most people say they love London by day
I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna laugh stead of cry
I'm gonna take the town turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die
They're gonna say what a guy
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing,gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live live live until I die
Those blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then Hallelujah
Gonna dance gonna fly
I'll take my chance riding high
Before my numbers up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die
Those blues I lay low,I'll make them stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then Hallelujah
Gonna dance gonna fly
I'll take my chance riding high
Before my numbers up I'm gonna fill my cup
Lately, I find myself gazing at stars, hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me, mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, bump into things like someone in love.
I know I said that I was leaving,
But I just couldn't say good-bye.
It was only self-deceiving
To walk away from someone who
Means everything in life to you.
You learn from every lonely day
I've learned and I've come back to stay.
Let me try again; let me try again.
Think of all we had before,
Let me try once more.
We can have it all, you and I again.
Just forgive me or I'll die.
Please let me try again.
I was such a fool to doubt you,
To try to go it all alone.
There's no sense to life without you.
Now all I do is just exist
And think about the chance I've missed.
To beg is not an easy task,
But pride is such a foolish mask.
Let me try again; let me try again.
Think of all we had before,
Let me try once more.
We can have it all, you and I again.
Just forgive me or I'll die.
Why even in France the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Letts do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In old Japan, all the Japs do it
Up in Lapland little Laps do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The Deutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Fins
Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins
In shallow shoals English souls do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The chimpanzees in the zoos do it
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
I'm sure giraffes on the sly do it
Even eagles as they fly do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels I might add do it
Though it shocks em I know
Why ask if shad do it - garcon de "shad roe"
The world admits bears in pits do it
Even Pekingeses at the Ritz do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The royal set sans regret did it
And they considered it fun
Marie Antoinette did it - with or without Napoleon
Parliament pleasure bent did it
Mam'selles every time they're short of rent did it

If I lived the past over
Saw today from yesterday
I would be in love
Anyway
If I knew that you’d leave me
If I knew you wouldn’t stay
I would be in love
Anyway
Sometimes I think
Think about before
Sometime I think
If I knew then
What I know now
I don’t believe I’d ever change
Somehow
Though you’ll never be with me
And there are no words to say
I’ll still be in love
Anyway
If I knew then
What I know now
I don’t believe I’d ever change
Somehow
If I knew then
What I know now
I don’t believe I’d ever change
Somehow

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp
Her day was born in shades of blue
Her song was sad the words were true
Her morning came too fast too soon
And died before the afternoon
Poor lady day could use some love, some sunshine
Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some spring, some breezes
Lady day has too much pain
It's such a lonely face
Such a cloudy sky
So many shadows in her eye
So many empty dreams
So many bitter times
Just a handful
Of broken rhymes
Poor lady day could use a smile, some kindness
Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some dreams, some flowers
Lady day has too much pain
Just too much to say
Just to much to know
Too little time to say hello
And then the evening comes
And now she doesn't cry
And it's too late to say
I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style.
And so I came to see her and listen for a while.
And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
singing my life with her words,
killing me softly with her song,
killing me softly with her song,
telling my whole life with her words,
killing me softly with her song
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt she found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that she would finish but she just kept right on.
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
singing my life with her words,
killing me softly with her song,
killing me softly with her song,
telling my whole life with her words,
killing me softly with her song
She sang as if she knew me in all my dark despair
and then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But she WAS THERE THE STRANGER, singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
singing my life with her words,
killing me softly with her song,
killing me softly with her song,
telling my whole life with her words,
It's over, it's over, it's over, I won't look back,
Won't look back, my bridge has been crossed.
It's over, it's over, it's over, I'll walk away,
I'll stay away, cause my heart's been lost.
Losing is not a happy thing when the stakes are high,
Not when you lose your lover on a simple goodbye.
It's over, it's over, It's over, I can't look back,
Won't look back, my heart says it's done.
It's over, it's over, it's over, but when I see her
And when I'm near her, I feel like it just began.
Losing is not a happy thing when the stakes are high,
Not when you lose your lover on a simple goodbye.
It's over, it's over, it's over, I can't look back,
Won't look back, my heart says it's done.
It's over, it's over, it's over, but when I see her
And when I'm near her, I feel like it just began.
Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try - to forget
It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "I have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall - 'til we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, I'm lonely, as I can be.
I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see.
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around,
How I wish you'd come back to me.
(musical interlude)
I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see.
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around,
How I wish you'd come back to me.
It worries me
You seem to be unhappy
And that worries me
I hate to think that maybe
I have made you blue
Just what did I do
Was I mean to you
Wish I knew
I worry so
If anything is wrong
I have the right to know
So while I hold you close
And kiss you tenderly
Tell it all to me
Darling can't you see
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed
And my cheeks ain't tanned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride
'fore I learned to stand
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star state
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V8
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'bout the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
Hey, yppie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Blow ill wind,
Blow away,
Let me rest today.
You’re blowin’ me no good,
No good.
Go ill wind,
Go away,
Skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood,
And that ain’t good
You’re only misleadin’ the sunshine I’m needin’,
Ain’t that a shame
It’s so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere,
When love’s to blame.
So ill wind, blow away.
Let me rest today.
You’re blowin’ me no good.
So, ill wind, blow away,
Please let me rest today.
You’re blowing me no good, no good, no good.
I'll never let a day pass by without a prayer or two,
That heaven find a way so I might just run into you
Just to be near you and to hear you say hello
Would give an ordinary day a lovely glow.
I'll never let a day pass by but that I'll see your face
And thrill to every tender sigh while you're in my embrace.
I know it's all a dream but darling, if it were true,
There's no use of a moonlight glow
or the peaks where winter snows
Whats the use of the waves that break in the cool of the evening
What is the evening without you
Its nothing
It may be you will never come
If you never come to me
Whats the use of my wonderful dreams
And why would they need me
Where would they lead me without you
To nowhere
Whats the use of my wonderful dreams
And why would they need me
Where would they lead me without you
If a picture paints a thousands words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words would never show
The you I've come to know
If a ship is launched a thousands times
Then where am I to go?
There's no one here but you
You're all that's left me too
And when, when my love for life is running dry
You come and you pour, pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Slowly spinning down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one those stars would all go out
I've never been in love before, now all at once it's you, it's you forevermore.
I've never been in love before, I thought my heart was safe, I thought I knew the score.
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong, I'm full of foolish songs.
And out my song must pour, so please forgive this helpless haze I'm in,
It seems to me I've heard that song before
It's from an old familiar score
I know it well, that melody
It's funny how a theme
Recalls a favorite dream
A dream that brought you so close to me
I know each word, because I've heard that song before
The lyrics said: "for evermore"
For evermore's a memory
Please have them play it again
And (Then) I'll remember just when
Writer(s): Ahlert/Young
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say: I hope you're feeling better
And close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit (right) down and write myself a letter
(And make believe it came, though I know it's not the same)
And (I'll) make believe (that) it came from you
I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say
Take me back, I love you
...I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
I took a trip on a train
and I thought about you.
We passed a shadowy lane
and I thought about you.
Two or three cars parked under the stars,
a winding stream,
the moon shining down on some little town
and with each beam, the same old dream.
At every stop that we made, oh, I thought about you.
And when I pulled down the shade I really felt blue.
I peeked through that crack and looked at the track
the one goin' back to you.
And what did I do?
I know I should pity me
But I don't because, you see
I have loved and I have learned
And as far as I'm concerned
I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough I sleep well
'Cept for a dream or two
But, then, I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can tell you to sleep, so
I should care
I should let it upset me
I should care
But it just doesn't get me
Maybe I should find
Someone as lovely as you
But I should care
That year in Oakland High
When I was seventeen
The grass from there to San Jose
Was high and cool and green
I see it now
Too brash and young was I
To know what time could mean
The old Acacia lawn cut down
Was felt but never seen
I see it now
That world I knew is lost to me
Loves have come and gone
The years go racing by
I live as best I can
And all at once I know it means the making of a man
I see it now
I see it now
I always thought that I'd prefer single-blessed-ness
Thought that I'd like to stay free
I never thought my time would come to marry,
No wedding bells for me, I've changed my mind after all,
You are the one made me fall, for...
I used to smile at all the songs that were popular,
Nothing but love in each song,
I used to think those kind of songs were foolish,
Now I admit I'm wrong.
Love songs are part of my plan, show me the minister man, for...
I never knew I could love anybody,
Honey, like I'm loving you;
I couldn't realize what a pair of eyes and a baby smile could do.
I can't sleep, I can't eat,
I never knew a single soul could be so sweet,
I never knew I could love anybody,
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is just another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
And when I hear you call so softly to me,
I don't hear a call at all, I hear a rhapsody.
And when your sparkling eyes are smiling at me,
Then soft through the starlit skies, I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you're away,
My heart longs for you, so won't you stay?
My darling, hold me tight and whisper to me
In a dream the strangest and the oddest things appear
And what insane and silly things we do.
Here is what I see before me, vividly and clear:
As I recall it, you were in it, too.
I had the craziest dream, last night - yes I did
I never dreamt it could be
Yet there you were - in love with me
I found your lips close to mine - so I kissed them
And you didn't mind it at all
When I'm awake, such a break never happens
How long can I guy go on dreaming
If there's a chance that you care
Then, please, say that you do baby
I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began
Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl I'd found
I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
Why did I buy those blue pajamas
Before that big affaire began?
My boiling point is much too low
For me to try to be a fly Lothario
I think I'll crawl right back and into my shell
Dwelling in my personal hell
I'll have to change my plan around
I lost the one girl I've found.
Never treats me sweet and gentle the way she should
I got it bad and that ain’t good
My poor heart is sentimental, not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain’t good
But when the weekend’s over and monday rolls around
I end up like I start out, just cryin’ my heart out
Doesn’t love me like I love her, no, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain’t good
Like a lonely weepin’ willow who’s lost in the wood
I got it bad and that ain’t good
And the things I tell my pillow, nobody should
I got it bad, I got I bad, and it’s no good
Though folks with good intentions, they tell me to save up my tears
I’m glad I’m mad about her, I can’t live without her
Lord above, make her love me the way that she should
I got it bad and that ain’t good
I got it bad and that ain’t good
No good
No good
No good
No good
Never treats me sweet and gentle the way she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental, not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
But when the weekend's over and Monday rolls around
I end up like I start out, just cryin' my heart out
Doesn't love me like I love her, no, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good
Like a lonely weepin' willow who's lost in the wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
And the things I tell my pillow, nobody should
I got it bad, I got I bad, and it's no good
Though folks with good intentions, they tell me to save up my tears
I'm glad I'm mad about her, I can't live without her
Lord above, make her love me the way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
I got it bad and that ain't good
No good
No good

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low-down
I gotta right to hang around
Down around the river
A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin’ my poor (old) heart around
All I see, for me is - misery
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sit and cry
Down around the river
I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin’ me
It must be love - say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
(full musical rendition of the song, as Tommy usually does. Frank after all is only his vocalist)
Tommy Dorsey: The second spot in our Fame And Fortune Show is always saved for the romantic Frank
Sinatra. Take Frank's voice and a swell ballad like this one, and you have the perfect twosome.
Franklin, I Give You My Word.
Sinatra sings:
I give you my word, I'll never love again.
I give you my word, this is my first and last romance.
I gave my lips, my heart and soul to you,
My heart will break if you don't take me too.
I give you my word, you are the only one.
All heaven has heard what your love has done.
Darling, what's the good of life without love, or love without you,
I'll never change, I give you my word.
I get along without you very well,
Of course I do,
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms.
Of course, I do,
But I get along without you very well.
I've forgotten you just like I should,
Of course I have,
Except to hear your name,
Or someone's laugh that is the same,
But I've forgotten you just like I should.
What a guy, what a fool am I,
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon.
What's in store? Should I phone once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune.
I get along without you very well,
Of course I do,
Except perhaps in Spring,
But I should never think of Spring,
I fall in love with you ev'ry day
The thrill is always new, ev'ry day
The sun may shine, the rain may fall
And icy winds may blow
You smile at me and all I see
Are blossoms in the snow
I thank my lucky star ev'ry day
That you are as you are, ev'ry day
The years may come
The years may go
If we're still here I'll say
I dream of you more than you dream I do,
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You're mean to me more than you mean to be,
You just can't seem to see the way I feel.
When I am close to you, the world is far away,
The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to say
I want you so, more than you'll ever know,
Writers: Gaskill/McHugh
Your eyes are blue - your kisses too
I never knew - what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me
You are telling - everyone I know
I'm on your mind - each place you go
They can't believe that you're in love with me
I have always placed you - far (way up there) above me
I just can't (Could never) imagine - that you love me
(And) After all is said and done - to think that I'm the lucky (only) one
Cannot (I can't) believe that you're in love (can't believe that you're in
love.
..) with me
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
All the days are hurryin' by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
