Love Affair
By Nat King Cole
Album :
Our love affair is a wonderous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with out first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair
May it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand
With a reverent prayer
That we may live
And we may share
A love affair to remember
So take my hand
With a reverent prayer
That we may live
And we may share
A love affair to remember
Let there be you,
Let there be me.
Let there be oysters
Under the sea.
Let there be wind,
An occasional rain.
Chile con carne,
Sparkling champagne --
Let there be birds
To sing in the trees,
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze.
Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dove,
But first of all, please --
Let there be love.
~interlude~
Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dove,
But first of all, please --
Let there be love...
Hmmm umm...love
Hmmm umm...love
Let there be love.
Let me tell you, babe
You got me crazy
You got your head in
Those big white clouds
Let me tell you, babe
You got me crazy
You don't know, girl
What life's all about
Let me tell you, babe
You must be dreaming
The world ain't spinning
Just for you alone
Let me tell you, babe
You must be dreaming
Cause it's rough, girl
Out there on your own
And love that's worth your salt
Don't grow on trees
It win't show upon
Every breeze that blows
It beats me, honey
How your eyes don't see
They just don't see what's
Right in front of your nose
Let me tell you, babe
You just ain't thinking
The grass ain't greener
On that side of town
Let me tell you, babe
You know I need you
If you stay, girl
I won't let you down
(Let me tell you, babe)
If you stay, girl
(Let me tell you, babe)
I won't let you down
(Let me tell you, babe)
If you stay, girl
(Let me tell you, babe)
I won't let you down
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up
The masquerade
Just make your mind up
The piper must be paid
The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
The party's over
It's time to call it a day
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paid
The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
The party's over
It's time to call it a day
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
It's all over, my friend
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way -
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'rymother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
and so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times,
Many ways: "Merry Christmas to you".
(Repeat) (from 9th line)
Did you ever watch the one you love
slowly drifting away from you?
And you know deep in your heart
there is nothing that you can do
To make her stay
To turn the tide
To ease the pain
That you feel deep inside
When her eyes say it's over and done
then you simply must face the fact
So you leave and you think it over
but you come hurrying back
Hoping she'll change her mind
Praying she'll take you back
But like the lady said
That's all there is to that
The evening breeze
Caressed the trees, tenderly
The trembling trees
Embraced the breeze, tenderly
Then you and I
Came wandering by
And lost in a sigh
Were we
The shore was kissed
By sea and mist, tenderly
I can't forget
How two hearts met, breathlessly
Your arms opened wide
And closed me inside
You took my lips
You took my love so tenderly
Your arms opened wide
And closed me inside
You took my lips
You took my love so tenderly
You took my lips
(words and music by nat king cole and irving mills)
The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
The monkey grabbed his neck and said "now listen, jack"
"straighten up and fly right"
"straighten up and fly right"
"straighten up and fly right"
"cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top."
"ain’t no use in jivin’ "
"what’s the use in dabbin’ "
"straighten up and fly right"
"cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top."
The buzzard told the monkey "you’re chokin’ me"
"release your hold and I’ll set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
"your story’s fetchin’ but it sounds like a lie"
"straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top."
(instrumental interlude)
"straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don’t you blow your top."
Come, my love, with me
Across the sea
Return to paradise
All in life worthwhile
Is on that isle
Return to paradise
Velvet moon above
Evil turns to love
Love evermore
Come with me and find
Your peace of mind
Return to paradise
Velvet moon above
Evil turns to love
Love evermore
Come with me and find
Your peace of mind
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why you ramble, no one knows
Wild and windblown, that's how you've grown
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?
Ramble on, ramble on
When your ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true?
When your ramblin' days are gone
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why I want you, Heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose?
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why I want you, Heaven knows
Though I love you with a love true
Pretend you're happy when you're blue
it isn't very hard to do
and you'll find happiness without an end
whenever you pretend
remember anyone can dream
and nothing's as bad as it may seem
the little things you haven't got could be a lot if you pretend
you'll find a love you can share
one you can call all your own
just close your eyes she'll be there
you'll never be alone
and if you sing this melody
you'll be pretending just like me
the world is mine it can be yours my friend
so why don't you pretend
Non dimenticar means don't forget you are my darling
Don't forget to be
All you mean to me
Non dimenticar my love is like a star, my darling
Shining bright and clear
Just because you're here
Please do not forget that our lips have met
And I've held you tight, dear
Was it dreams ago my heart felt this glow?
Or only just tonight, dear?
Non dimenticar although you travel far, my darling
It's my heart you own, so I'll wait alone
Non dimenticar
Se ci separ, se ci allontan
L'ala del destino
Non ne ho colpa, no, e mi sentiro sempre a te vicino
Non dimenticar although you travel far, my darling
It's my heart you own, so I'll wait alone
Non dimenticar
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return"
What'll I do
when you
are far away
and I'm so 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
what'll I do?
Guitar solo
When I'm alone
with only dreams of you
that won't come true
what'll I do?
If they had ever told me how sweet a kiss could be
I would have said "Impossible, impossible for me"
And if they said I'd find you beyond the rainbow's end
I would have said "Impossible, impossible, my friend"
To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems I'm living in
A dream too beautiful to be
If they had said a moonbeam could calm a stormy sea
I would have said "Impossible" but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me
I would have said "Impossible" but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do
You know you've completely
Stolen my heart
Morning, noon and night-time too
Toujours, wondering what to do
That's the way I've felt
Right from the start
Ah, Cherie!
My love for you is très, très fort
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more
But I hope that you compree
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more
But I hope that you compree
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do
(Darling, je vous aime beaucoup)
I love you, yes I do
I found my love in Avalon beside the bayI left my love in Avalon and sailed awayI dream of her and Avalon from dusk 'til dawnAnd so I think I'll travel on to Avalon
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C’est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m’aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m’aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s’aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants désunis
At the end of a rainbow
You'll find a pot of gold
At the end of a story
You'll find it's all been told
But our love has a treasure
Our heart's can't always spend
And it has a story without any end
At the end of a river
The water stops it's flow
At the end of a highway
There's no place you can go
But just tell me you love me
And you are only mine
And our love will go on 'til the end of time
At the end of the rainbow
You'll find a pot of gold
At the end of a story
You'll find it's all been told
But our love has a treasure
Our heart's can't always spend
And it has a story without any end
At the end of a river
The water stops it's flow
At the end of a highway
There's no place you can go
But just tell me you love me
And you are only mine
And our love will go on
'Til the e-end of time
Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
After you get what you want, you don't want it
If I gave you the moon, you'd grow tired of it soon
You're like a baby
You want what you want when you want it
But after you are presented
With what you want, you're discontented
You're always wishing and wanting for something
When you get what you want
You don't want what you get
And tho' I sit upon your knee
You'll grow tired of me
'Cause after you get what you want
You don't want what you wanted at all
(Instrumental)
You're always wishing and wanting for something
When you get what you want
You don't want what you get
And tho' I sit upon your knee
You'll grow tired of me
'Cause after you get what you want
For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won't say "Good night" until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love
Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember
Lost April
Where did you go?
Like winter's snow
I saw you vanish
Lost April
so soft and warm
a memory not even time can vanish
Lost April
that taught me this
a single kiss
could lead to heaven
but April had numbered days
so when they passed
love couldn't last
I lost love and you and April too.
strings
so when they passed
love couldn't last
I lost love and you and April too.

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see

E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

Unforgettable, that's 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, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
instrumental interlude
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
Título: Sorri
Sorria através do seu coração doendo.
Sorria até o final através dele se quebrando.
Enquanto lá estiverem as nuvens no céu, você irá aprender de cor.
Se você sorri através do medo e tristeza
Sorria e talvez amanhã
Você irá ver o sol raiar através de você.
Ilumine seu rosto com sua alegria
Esconda todo traço de tristeza
Através de uma lágrima pode estar sempre tão perto
Lá está o tempo que você terá que manter-se tentando.
Sorria, o que é o uso do choro?
Você achará que a vida continua sendo conveniente
Se você simplesmente sorrir.
Lá está o tempo que você terá que manter-se tentando.
Sorria, o que é o uso do choro?
Você achará que a vida continua sendo conveniente
Se você simplesmente sorrir.
The wold world can see how much I love you
That you treat me so unkind
If you can't see it you must be blind
It's plain as can be how hard I tried
To be with you all the time
If you can't see it you must be blind
With all the heartaches you have caused
I still go on feelingt the same
But for the good that it does
You're breaking my heart all over again
So mean to me but I will forgive
My darling please say that you're mine
Oh gee why must you be so blind
(Instrumental)
So mean to me but I will forgive
My darling please say that you're mine
It wasn't my intention to eavesdrop,
But there a guy sat, two stools away,
And you could tell the bartender knew him
And that he'd been there some other day.
And while I sipped my libation,
I overheard his conversation...
"Re---member
How I'd walk in,
What excitement there would be?
Never less than twenty people,
I had lots of friends, you see.
"I gave the party, I was the host.
Everyone loved me,
I was the most.
"Champagne and plenty of it,
Real imported caviar,
And the hat check girl got fifty
Just for lighting my cigar.
"I kept 'em laughin', jokes by the yard.
Everyone loved me,
I was a card.
"And I had a girl,
A beautiful girl,
Her whole world, I think, consisted of mink
And diamonds and pearls.
"Because she was mine,
I'd glitter and shine,
And life was a ball, and wasn't it all
So cozy 'n fine?
"But nothing lasts forever,
And the deepest well runs dry.
Just 'cause I've stopped rolling sevens
Doesn't mean I have to cry.
"I'll take that nightcap,
One more won't show.
And incidentally...maybe you know...
Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?"
"Where, oh, where, oh, where
When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
(Instrumental)
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
Your love will live in my heart
I'm walkin' out the door with you on my mind
I'm walkin' out the door with you on my mind
But every step away from you, I feel like cryin'
I walked into the street, talkin' to myself
I walked into the street, talkin' to myself
No matter what my conscience says, I'm thinkin' 'bout nobody else
I met a brand new chick, phone to make a date
I met a brand new chick, phone to make a date
But when her I rang her number up but I got your number by mistake
You say you love me, baby, don't know what to do
You say you love me, baby, don't know what to do
Rabbits on the hillside big as a mule
Rabbits on the hillside, big as a mule

Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
She sailed at the dawning, all day I've been blue
Red sails in the sunset, I'm trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset
Way out on the sea
(Ooh wee ooh, wee-ooh)
Oh, carry my loved one
Siempre que te pregunto
Que cuándo cómo y dónde
Tú siempre me respondes
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Y así pasan los días

Pensando, pensando
Por lo que más tú quieras
Hasta cuando, hasta cuando

Pick yourself up
Take a deep breath
Dust yourself off
And start all over again
Nothing's impossible, I have 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 yourself off
And start all over again
Work like a soul inspired
Until the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired
But you'll be a man, my son
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
They picked themselves up, dust themselves off
And start'd all over again
Work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired
But you'll be a man, my son
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off
It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may tumble, Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
In time the Rockies may tumble, Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
I never lost my heart while stealing a glance
Taking a chance, try and romance
But when your eyes hang off that danger sign
Ooh, kickaroonie
I never had a yearn for making a date
Leaving at eight, staying out late
But when you put your sweet, sweet lips to mine
Ooh, kickaroonie
This is one time I can't say
It's just one of those things
Since my heart spends all its time
Tied to your apron strings
I never had a yearn for taking your arm
Holding your charm, buying a farm
But when you put your sweet, sweet lips to mine
Ooh, kickaroonie
This is one time I can't say
It's just one of those things
Since my heart spends all it's time
Tied to your apron string
I never had a yearn for taking your arm
Holding your charm, buying a farm
But when you put your sweet, sweet lips to mine
Ooh, kickaroonie
Once in a while, will you try
To give one little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?
Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while
Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?
There was a boy
A very strange enchanged boy
They say he travelled very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day, he came my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When your lost in the magic of a kiss
Her lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
Who feeds the reindeer all their hay?
Who wraps the gifts and packs the sleigh?
Who's helping Santa every day?
Mrs. Santa Claus
Who keeps his red suit looking nice?
Who does he turn to for advice?
Who gives the brownies all their spice?
Mrs. Santa Claus
She pitter patters all around the workshop
The whole year long
Amid the happy clatter of the workshop
She sings a merry, merry Christmas song
Who reads the notes from girls and boys?
Turns in the order for their toys
Fills every heart with wondrous joys

Just you, just me
Let's find a cozy spot
To cuddle and woo
Just us, just we
I've missed an awful lot
My trouble is you
Oh, gee
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
Around wonderful you
Oh, gee
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot

It is only a paper moon
Hanging over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
It is only a canvas sky
Sailing over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played on a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played on a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
Are you an illusion that I've kissed?
Am I only dreaming you exist?
Am I just pretending dreams come true?
And is heaven wise opening my eyes
To someone like you?
Are you an illusion I embrace?
Can you be the rainbow that I chase?
Want you in this yearning that I feel
Tell me that it's so, what I want to know
Tell me that you're real
Are you an illusion I embrace?
Can you be the rainbow that I chase?
Want you in this yearning that I feel
Tell me that it's so, what I want to know
(Johnny Burke)
Better face the facts, ol' buddy,
And be prepared to take the blow.
You don't have to sit and study,
It's something anyone should know.
Shake hands... get your hat...
And go.
You can praise her eyes,
And adore her hair.
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.
And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air,
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.
And you can look
With a longing in your look,
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware.
And you can weep and sigh,
You can say, "Unfair".
You can almost die of despair.
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.

Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies.
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears,
More and more do I realize:
I love paris in the springtime.
I love paris in the fall.
I love paris in the winter when it drizzles,
I love paris in the summer when it sizzles.
I love paris every moment,
Every moment of the year.
I love paris, why, oh why do I love paris?
Because my love is near.

I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today.
Just got the news that my best gal has left me to stay.
Things were pretty rosy,
We got along so fine.
Until another guy moved in
And handed her a line.
I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today.
So I decided to try and get her off my mind.
Started to walkin', to see what enjoyment I'd find.
Was invited to a party,
Then there was a fight.
A fella got a whippin'...
You guessed it right.
I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today.

It’s just a little street
Where old friends meet,
I’d love to wander back
Someday.
To you, it may be old,
And sort of tumbled down,
But it means a lot to folks
In my hometown.
Although I’m rich or poor,
I still feel sure
I’m welcome as the flowers in may.
It’s just a little street
Where old friends meet,
And treat you in the same old way.

To whom it may concern,
You’ve found another love, I know
To whom it may concern,
My heart won’t ever let you go.
You tore my heart apart
When you found somebody new,
But you found out that your heart
Could be broken, too.
So to whom it may concern,
You’ve learned that heartache has no pride,
Pretending unconcerned won’t stop the tears
You try to hide.
And when you’re all alone
With just a memory,
That’s when I’ll bet you’ll learn
The one who’s most concerned is me.
~interlude~
And when you’re all alone
With just a memory,
That’s when I’ll bet you’ll learn

Oh...there's a lull in my life.
It's just a void, an empty space,
When you are not in my embrace.
Oh...there's a lull in my life.
The moment that you go away,
There is no night, there is no day.
The clock stops ticking,
The world stops turning.
Everything stops
But that flame in my heart
That keeps burning...burning...
Oh...there's a lull in my life.
No matter I may pretend,
I know that you alone can end
The ache in my heart,
The call of my arms...
The lull in my life.
(harry warren, mack gordon)
This is our last dance together,
Tonight soon will be long ago.
And in our moment of parting,
This is all I want you to know...
There will be many other nights like this,
And I’ll be standing here with someone new.
There will be other songs to sing,
Another fall...another spring...
But there will never be another you.
There will be other lips that I may kiss,
But they won’t thrill me,
Like yours used to do.
Yes, I may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
If there will never, ever be another you?
~interlude~
Yes, I may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
If there will never, ever be...
Another you?
Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat
Love is everywhere, it's magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
I'll learn to love forever, come what may
Love is everywhere, it's magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
I'll learn to love forever, come what may
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore
And love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it, take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore
And love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it, take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Lost April
Where did you go?
Like winter's snow
I saw you vanish
Lost April
So soft and warm
A memory
Not even time can banish
Lost April
That taught me this
A single kiss
Could lead to Heaven
But April had numbered days
So when they passed
Love couldn't last
I lost love and you and April, too
So when they passed
Love couldn't last
(dorothy wayne, ray rauch)

Wild is love!
Wild is love!
Wild-wild-wild
Is love!
(nat’s spoken words:)
As a rule, man’s a fool.
When it’s hot, he wants it cool.
When it’s cool, he wants it hot.
Always wanting
What is not.
(nat sings:)
Wild is love
Whenever two hearts meet,
Wild is love,
Bitter, but oh so sweet.
And I know
I must go
Wherever love takes me,
Whatever love makes me,
I will be!
Like a fire
Burning beyond control,
Wild is love
Deep in my heart and soul
And though wild as the wind
And wild as the rolling sea,
Nothing could ever be
As wild as love.
~interlude~
And I know
I must go

(I don't 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 waste of time
Someday your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you?
(Although you have left me alone to pine)
And all of my love was a waste of time
Someday your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you?
Is it wrong wanting you,
Wanting you as I do?
Then my one sin in life
Is wanting you.
Is it wrong to desire
Lips that set me on fire?
Then my one sin in life
Is wanting you.
Bridge:
You're my temptation,
My heaven, my bliss.
I never knew love
Could thrill me like this.
So if it's wrong loving you
Heart and soul as I do,
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you.

They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
(nathaniel cole, charlotte hawkins)
(with you on my mind,
With you on my mind)
With you on my mind,
How can I do anything?
With you on my mind,
All the time remembering.
Got an achin’ heart
Thinkin’ how it used to be.
With you on my mind,
When you gave your love to me.
I believed in your love (your love)
Thought I was your true love (true love),
But you found a new love (new love)
Who changed your mind (who changed your mind).
Now that you are gone,
I just seem to spend my time
Feelin’ so forlorn,
With you always on my mind.

Stepped out of a dream,
You are too wonderful
To be what you seem.
Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?
Stepped out of a cloud,
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd,
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME
You give your hand to me and then you say, "Hello,"
And I can hardly speak; my heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell you think you know me well,
But you don't know me
No, you don't know the one who dreams of you at night,
And longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight.
To you I'm just a friend; that's all I've ever been,
Oh, you don't know me.
(Bridge:)
*For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by,
The chance you might have loved me, too.
You give your hand to me and then you say goodbye;
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy.
You'll never, never know the one who loves you so,
No, you don't know me.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at bridge*.)

I can't forget the night I met you,
That's all I'm dreaming of.
Now you call it madness,
But I call it love.
You made a promise to be faithful
By all the stars above.
And now you call it madness,
But I call it love.
My heart is beating,
It keeps repeating for you constantly.
You're all I'm needing
And so I'm pleading,
Please come back to me.
You made a plaything out of romance,
What were you thinking of?
Now you call it madness,
But I call it love.

WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE
When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy,
Then the rain begins to fall, pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
Love is gone, what can matter,
No sweet lover man comes to call.
When Sunny gets blue, she breaths a sigh of sadness,
Like the wind that stirs the trees,
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying
Like some violin is playing strange and haunting melodies.
Bridge:
*People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile,
That's how she got her name.
Since that sad affair, she lost her smile, changed her style,
Somehow she's not the same.
When Sunny gets blue, pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through,
Hurry new love, hurry here, to kiss away each lonely tear,
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at Bridge*.)
I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near
I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here
Are you my desitiny? Is this how you'll appear?
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
As you've been moving surely toward me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears, darling, let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
O we will know, won't we?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they?
Stars have their moment and then they die
There's a man who spoke wonders though I've never met him
He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in"
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heart-strings call
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?
(pete johnson, joe turner)
It was early one monday mornin’,
And I was on my way to school.
It was early one monday mornin’,
When I was on my way to school.
That was the mornin’
When I broke my mother’s rule.
I’ve been in love with you, baby,
Before I learned to call your name.
I’ve been in love with you, baby,
Before I learned to call your name.
Now you’re in love with someone else
I know that’s gonna drive me insane!
~interlude~
Ooh wee baby,
You sure look good to me.
Ooh wee baby,
You sure look good to me.
Please tell me, pretty mama
Who can your great new lover be?
Gee, it's great after bein' out late
Walkin' my baby back home
Arm in arm over meadow and farm
Walkin' my baby back home
We go 'long harmonizing a song
Or I'm recitin' a poem
Owls go by and they give me the eye
Walkin' my baby back home
We stop for a while, she gives me a smile
And snuggles her head on my chest
We start in to pet and that's when I get
Her talcum all over my vest
After I kinda straighten my tie
She has to borrow my comb
Once kiss then I continue again
Walkin' my baby back home
She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park
Outside of her door till it's light
She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry
I dry her tears all through the night
Hand in hand to a barbecue stand
Right from her doorway we roam
Eats and then it's a pleasure again
Walkin' my baby
Talkin' my baby
Lovin' my baby
I don't mean maybe
Walkin' my baby back home
Time and the river
Will bring my love to me.
If I must, I'll wait forever
By the river that took her to the sea.
Here by the river
We loved, we laughed, we cried.
But with time, my love, my darling,
Left my arms and was gone with the tide.
*How long I've been lonely;
Star of love, shine bright.
I need her; oh, lead her
To my arms tonight.
Time and the river,
How swiftly they go by.
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)
How long I've been lonely;
Star of love, shine bright.
I need her; oh, lead her
To my arms tonight.
Time and the river,
How swiftly they go by.
But my heart will beat for no other
Till time stands still and the river runs dry.
They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

This can't be love, because I feel so well,
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs.
This can't be love; I get no dizzy spells,
My head is not in the skies.
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.
This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
(Instrumental interlude)
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.
This can't be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
Still I love to look in your eyes.

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,
An airline ticket to romantic places,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
A fairground's painted swings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
You came, you saw,
You conquered me.
When you did that to me,
I knew somehow this had to be.
The winds of March that made my heart a dancer,
A telephone that rings,
And who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
The first daffodil and long excited cables,
And candle lights on little corner tables,
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you.
The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
The 'Ile-de-France' with all the gulls around it,
The beauty that is spring's...
These foolish things remind me of you.
How strange, how sweet
To find you still,
These things are dear to me,
They seem to bring you near to me.
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations,
Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations.
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you...
These foolish things remind me of you.

VERSE:
When troubles get me, cares beset me
And won't let me go,
I turn to you for consolation.
There I find new peace of mind;
To leave behind my woe
I turn to you as I shall always do.
CHORUS:
The touch of your lips upon my brow,
Your lips that are cool and sweet,
Such tenderness lies in their soft caress,
My heart forgets to beat.
*The touch of your hands upon my head,
The love in your eyes a-shine,
And now, at last, that moment divine,
The touch of your lips on mine.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)

If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea
There’s a hope in my heart that you’ll soon be with me
There’s a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea
And it cries "come to me, come to me."
As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore
You are here in my arms for a moment or more
Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea
And it cries "come to me, come to me."
But as long as there’s sand, as long as there’s sea
As long as there’s time I’ll wait hopefully
As long as there’s heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me
But as long as there’s sand, as long as there’s sea
As long as there’s time I’ll wait hopefully
As long as there’s heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me
Can love be as pure as the Pearl.
Just look in the heart of my love for you,
You'll find the Ruby and the Pearl
My love will endure like Diamonds,
And shine with the simmer of Gold.
It glows as a bright star above for you,
A thing of beauty to behold.
Come close and cling to my kiss,
Stay close and share the passion of this.
Yes love is as warm as the Ruby,
And love is a s pure as the Pearl.
Just look in the heart of my love for you,
He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot,
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.
He sent a note to Santa
For some soldiers and a drum,
It broke his little heart
When he found Santa hadn't come.
In the street he envies all those lucky boys,
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys.
I'm so sorry for that laddie,
He hasn't got a daddy,
The little boy that Santa Claus forgot.
Spoken:
(You know, Christmas comes but once a year for every girl and boy,
The laughter and the joy they find in each brand new toy.
I'll tell you of a little boy that lives across the way...
This little fella's Christmas is just another day.
He's the little boy that Santa Claus forgot,
And goodness knows, he didn't want a lot.)
In the street he envies all those lucky boys,
Then wanders home to last year's broken toys.
I'm so sorry for that laddie,
He hasn't got a daddy,
The little boy that Santa Claus forgot.

I don’t want french fried potatoes,
Red ripe tomatoes,
I’m never satisfied.
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.
I don’t want pork chops and bacon,
That won’t awaken
My appetite inside.
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.
A fella really got to eat
And a fella should eat right.
Five will get you ten
I’m gonna feed myself right tonight.
I don’t want fish cakes and rye bread,
You heard what I said.
Waiter, please serve mine fried
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way -
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And ev'rymother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.
and so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times,
Many ways: "Merry Christmas to you".

I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call,
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone,
That's all, that's all.
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall,
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter night,
That's all, that's all.
There are those, I am sure, that have told you
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy.
If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and ever more,
That's all, that's all.

If you love her
And she makes one mistake,
Please don't leave her
It would make your heart ache.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price I had to pay.
If you need her
But you're letting her go,
Please don't do it
You'll be sorry, I know.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price I had to pay.
Truly,
She's caused you to doubt her,
Truly,
She's broken the rules.
But life's not worth living without her,
So listen to the wisdom of a fool.
Think it over
And forgive her this time,
I was foolish
I lost the love that was mine.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price I had to pay.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price I had to pay.

Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine.
A pair of eyes
That are brighter tham the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine.
Now when it's rainin',
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho
Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine.

Stay as sweet as you are,
Don’t let a thing
Ever change you.
Stay as sweet as you are,
Don’t let a soul
Rearrange you.
Don’t ever lose
The charm you possess,
Your loveliness, darling,
The way you say "yes".
Stay as sweet as you are
Discreet as you are,
You’re divine, dear.
Stay as grand as you are,
And as you are,
Tell me that you’re mine, dear.
Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day I pray
That you’ll always stay
As sweet as you are.
(interlude)
Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day I pray
That you’ll always stay
As sweet as you are.
Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm blue
My disposition
Depends on you
I never mind
The rain from the sky
If I can find
The sun in your eyes
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you
That's how I am
So what can I do?
I'm happy when I'm with you
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you
That's how I am
So what can I do?
I'm happy when I'm with you
(van heusen, cahn, fuller)
What good is a dream,
A plan or a scheme,
The rainbow that you pursue?
It’s everything... and it’s nothing
Without someone to tell it to.
How eager you are
To get to that star,
But after the journey’s through,
You’re only a lonely dreamer
Without someone to tell it to.
There’ll be blue days,
Hard to get through days,
Days when you’ll just want to die.
Soon you’re older,
And the world’s colder,
When there’s no shoulder to cry on.
Castles in air
Are empty and bare
With no one to share the view.
The moonlight is merely moonlight,
There’s no magic in "i love you"
Without someone
Someone to tell it to.
~interlude~
The moonlight is merely moonlight,
There’s no magic in "i love you"

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
(Irving Berlin)
Say it isn't so...
Say it isn't so.
Everyone is saying you don't love me,
Say it isn't so.
Everywhere I go,
Everyone I know
Whispers that you're growing tired of me,
Say it isn't so.
People say that you
Found somebody new,
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Say it isn't true.
Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.
People say passing by
Say he's younger than I
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Tell me it's a lie.
Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.

Goodbye, lonely heartache,
Farewell, bitter tears.
I’m leaving forever,
And not just for years.
You’re home again, darling,
And I love you so.
But you love another,
That’s why I must go.
Down the road to nowhere,
I’ll wander my lonely days through.
Down the road to nowhere,
I’m nowhere at all without you.
Our favorite places
That made moments fly
Just can’t be forgotten,
But still I must try.
The dance where I met you
When you walked my way,
I cry when I pass them
So I’ll drift away.
Down the road to nowhere,
I’ll wander my lonely days through.
Down the road to nowhere,
I’m nowhere at all without you...
I’m nowhere at all without you...
I’m nowhere at all without you.

Cause the celing fell in

I have often walked
Down the street before,
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am i
Several stories high,
Knowing I’m on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it’s just on the street where you live.
And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear.
People stop and stare
They don’t bother me,
For there’s no where else on earth
That I would rather be.
Let the time go by,
I won’t care if i
Can be here on the street where you live.

A Portrait of Jennie
More precious to me
than a masterpiece how ever famous it be
The portrait of Jennie
is etched on my heart
where her features have been sketched from the start
Ah, the color and beatuy of life
and the glow of her sprit divine
all cast in heaven's own design
With a portrait of Jennie
I never will part
for there isn't any portrait of Jennie
except in my heart
for there isn't any portrait of Jennie
except in my heart

When out of an orange-colored sky

Wonderful you came by

Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you
Times when we're apart
I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray
More than just two lips away
*If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
Repeat from *
I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you (and fade)

My dream sonata is the music I hear
Each night when all the world is deep in slumber
And in my dreams, my darling, you appear.
While the music's playing I hear you say,
"I love you, I love you."
My dream sonata has the beauty of prayer,
A prayer my lonely heart has set to music,
That when I wake, my darling, you'll be there.
But when I awaken, you're gone, it seems.
Like my sonata, you are only in my dreams.

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,
My baby just cares for me.

My baby’s no crosby fan, dick tracy is not her man,
My baby just cares for me.
My baby don’t care for mr. tibbits,
She’d rather have me around to kibbitz.
Roy rogers is not her style, and even clark gable’s smile
Is something that she can’t see.

I wonder what’s wrong with baby,
My baby just cares for me.

Has known,
This
Is the love I’ll give to you
Alone.
More
Than the simple words
I’ve tried to say,
I’ll only live to love you
More each day.
More than you’ll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin’,
Wakin’... sleepin’... laughin’...weepin’.
Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You’ll be mine.
I know I’ve never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.
I know I’ve never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.
Misty
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree,
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud, I can't understand,
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way, and a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello, that music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.
(BRIDGE)
*You can say that you're leading me on,
But it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost,
That's why I'm following you.
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left, my hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at bridge*.)

Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down at Lover's Lane, she strayed.
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
~interlude~
When she woke from her dream
And found that her love had gone,
Madam...
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray.
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down.
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Then the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail.
Madam...
They strung her upon
A willow across the way.
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried.
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Lost April
Where did you go?
Like winter's snow
I saw you vanish
Lost April
So soft and warm
A memory
Not even time can banish
Lost April
That taught me this
A single kiss
Could lead to Heaven
But April had numbered days
So when they passed
Love couldn't last
I lost love and you and April, too
So when they passed
Love couldn't last
(and I’ll be there at no particular time)
(pyle/robinson/terker)
Baby, we two can’t get along,
I’m never right, you’re never wrong.
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time.
Baby, it just ain’t common sense
Mixin’ up love with arguments.
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time.
I’m all fed up on stormy weather,
I’m going where it’s june.
Here’s hopin’ I see you never
’cause if I do, that will be too soon.
Now that I’ve put my heart on ice,
Missing you will seem paradise.
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time.
~interlude~
You’d better bring along your glasses
In case I’m hard to find,
You’ll wish you could see before you
As clearly as you can see behind.
You can turn back in retropect
Of the times you stuck out your neck.
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time.
All we do is make up
Then quarrel all over again,
But this is it ~ the breakup
From now on, you knew me when...
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time!
(frankie laine, fred karger)
You’re my magnificent obsession
The greatest wonder on this earth.
The taj mahal and other spendors
To me really have no worth.
You’re my magificent possession,
A treasure lent me from above.
As long as I have breath within me,
You’ll be my one and only love.
(interlude)
You’re my magificent possession,

I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life...
From jazz and cocktails.
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distant gay traces
That used to be there you could see where they’d been washed away
By too many through the day...
Twelve o’clock tales.
Then you came along with your siren of song
To tempt me to madness!
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me.
Ah yes! I was wrong...
Again,
I was wrong.
Life is lonely again,
And only last year everything seemed so sure.
Now life is awful again,
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore.
A week in paris will ease the bite of it,
All I care is to smile in spite of it.
I’ll forget you, I will
While yet you are still burning inside my brain.
Romance is mush,
Stifling those who strive.
I’ll live a lush life in some small dive...
And there I’ll be, while I rot
With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too..
Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Take me out of this world tonight.
Take me; make me forget my sorrow,
So when I wake tomorrow, I'll know our love was right.
Kiss me as though it were now of never;
Teach me all that a heart should know.
Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Oh my darling, love me; don't ever let me go.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up.)
Kiss me as though it were now or never;
Teach me all that a heart should know.
Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Oh my darling, love me; don't ever let me go.
(edward heyman, victor young)
The sky may be starless,
The night may be moonless.
But deep in my heart,
I know that you love me,
You love me, because you told me so.
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while we’re apart.
I’m not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write.
I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again
Right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart.
~interlude~
I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again
Right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart.
(Louis Jordan, Timmie Rodgers)
Knock me a kiss, you'll never miss
When I'm ready to go.
But if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
Squeeze me a squoze in these fine clothes,
Mmmm...I love you so.
But if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
When I ask for a date, the answer is no.
You don't know what you're saying.
Don't you know the war's on,
Everything is rationed,
How 'bout that jive, keep me alive?
Baby, let bygones be bygones,
'Cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
~interlude~
Baby, let bygones be bygones,
'Cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no, no, no, baby
Please don't cry and say no.

The crowd sees me out dancing
Carefree and romancing
Happy with my someone new
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love with you
They see me night and daytime
Having such a gay time
They don't know what I go through
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love with you
No one knows it's just a pose
Pretending I'm glad we're apart
And when I cry, my eyes are dry
The tears are in my heart
My darling, can't we make up?
Ever since our breakup
Make believe is all I do
I'm laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
'cause I'm still in love
I am still in love with you
Someone longs for you and your caress
He's learning now how empty arms can be
Someone who used to know your kiss not long ago
That someone happens to be me
How he misses you and must confess
Without you he's like driftwood on the sea
He's just a dreamer who is still in love with you
That dreamer happens to be me
I'll never know just why we parted
It's more than I can comprehend
I only know when you departed
You started a night that has no end
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
(lewis/weissman/lange)
Is it better
To have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all?
I wonder (I wonder),
I wonder (I wonder),
As my lonely teardrops fall.
Is it better
To have kissed and lost,
Than never to have felt the glow?
I wonder (I wonder),
I wonder (I wonder),
Then why do I miss you so?
Only those who’ve lost at love
Would know how a heart can cry.
And they would know the meaning of
Hearing a last goodbye.
Is it better
To have loved and lost,
Than never had my dream come true?
I wonder (I wonder),
I wonder (I wonder),
’cause I’m still in love with you.
I wonder (I wonder),
I wonder (I wonder),
’cause I’m still in love with you.
Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing.
It takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing.
With music and words I've been playing
For you, I have written a song.
To be sure that you'll know what I'm saying,
I'll translate as I go along...
Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars.
In other words,
Hold my hand.
In other words,
Darling, kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
In other words,
Please be true.
In other words,
I love you.

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 of my feet,
A lot of 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 that you do.
I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter,
And make believe it came from you.
I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter,
And make believe that it came from you.
I'm gonna write words oh, so sweet, yeah!
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 that you do.
I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter,
And make believe it came from you...
I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter,
And make believe it came,
Make believe that it came from you!
(Cy Coleman, Joseph Allen McCarthy)
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Laugh, and forget this affair
Guess I was foolish
To care.
So I'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,
Try to be carefree and gay
I guess I'll learn to play
The part.
'Cause when our friends begin that
Heartless rumor,
I know I'll really need my
Sense of humor.
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Make it a beautiful joke.
No one will know you broke
My heart.
But if I find you and I
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then I'm gonna laugh so hard,
I'll cry.
~interlude~

I'm just a shy guy,
My, I'm a 'fraid-to-try guy
No lie.
There's a gal that I idolize
But I just can't seem to hypnotize.
And when she pets me,
You betcha, it gets me.
And everytime I hold her hand,
I'm just too shy to say the things I plan.
Everytime she's close to me,
My heart is filled with ecstasy,
And like a dope, I let the chance slip by.
There, I should have told her then
But all I did was sit and grin,
And I ended up so mad that I could cry.
'Cause I'm a shy guy
Wish I was a sly guy
Then I could say, "Baby, baby, I love you"
Just like those guys in moving pictures all do.

You promised me you'd come back,
I promised to wait.
But I was a little too lonely,
And you were a little too late.
Too many long nights alone,
Not even a date.
So I got a little too lonely,
And you were a little too late.
You never did write, you never did call.
When I had the blues, you were havin' a ball.
You thought that I'd be here to run to,
Now I'm gonna do to you what I've been done to.
Too bad about you, my friend,
It could've been great.
But I was a little too lonely,
And now you're a little too late.

Was it in tahiti?
Were we on the nile?
Long, long ago,
Say an hour or so
I recall that I saw your smile.
I remember you,
You’re the one who made
My dreams come true
A few kisses ago.
I remember you,
You’re the one who said
"i love you, too," I do.
Didn’t you know?
I remember, too,
A distant bell,
And stars that fell like rain
Out of the blue.
When my life is through,
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
Then I shall tell them
I remember you.
(Brackets indicate choir in background)
(I miss you)
(Since you went away dear)
Miss you
More than I can say dear
Daytime
Night-time nothing I do
Can make me forget
That I still love you
(Miss you)
In my dreams I kiss you
Whispering
Darling how I miss you
Tell me
Do you ever miss me?
As I...
Miss... you...
(Kiss you)
In my dreams I kiss you
Whispering
Darling how I miss you
Tell me
Do you ever miss me?
As I...
Miss... you...

I keep goin' back to Joe's
To that table in the corner,
Sippin' wine and staring at the door.
Our old waiter knows we're through,
Still he sets a place for you
Everything the way it was before.
I keep goin' back to Joe's,
But the man who plays piano
Never plays your favorite melody.
Joe keeps busy at the bar,
Never asks me where you are.
He was there when you walked out on me.
Now I pray you'll walk back in,
And you'll say what fools we've been,
And we'll celebrate a happy new beginning.
Chances are you'll never show,
But you'll know just where to find me
Every night until it's time to close.
Just in case you miss me, too,
I'll be there to welcome you.
That's why I keep going back...
That's why I keep goin' back...
To Joe's.
(Robinson, Stamford)
Maybe I talk too much,
Maybe I've lost m' touch.
I guess I don't know what's cookin'
'Cause I just can't see for lookin'.
Other boys have their chicks,
Two, three, four, five or six.
I don't seem to get a bookin'
'Cause I just can't see for lookin'.
I'm kinda crazy,
Like a daisy
Up that well known tree, poor me.
I'm sittin', hopin',
Horoscopin'
Won't some sista take a chance with me?
I've been around the town,
Everyone brings me down.
I give up hope, I'm just a dope.
There ain't no gals for hookin',
I just can't see for lookin'.
~interlude~

(I don't want to see tomorrow,
unless I see it with you.)
Tomorrow, so they say
Will be a lovely day,
A bright new sun will suddenly break through,
But I don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless I see it with you.
Tomorrow, so I hear
The clouds will disappear,
The door to happiness will open wide.
But I don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless you're there by my side.
Don't want to walk alone,
Don't want to dream alone,
Just want you close to my heart.
For if your love is gone,
How can I face the dawn of
Sunday, or Monday?
I just can't face one day...
Until you say you're mine,
Oh, darling, please be mine
And make each bright tomorrow young and new.
But I don't want to face tomorrow
Unless I see it with you.
(Tomorrow, so I hear
The clouds will disappear,
The door to happiness will open wide.)
But I don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless I see it with you.
I can't give you anything but love
Baby
that's the only thing I've plenty of
Baby
dream a while
scheme a while
we're sure to find happiness
and I guess
all those things you've always pined for.
I'd like to see you looking swell
Baby
diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell
Baby.
Till that lucky day
you know darned well
Baby.
I can't give you anything but love.
(dorothy wayne, ray rasch)
He who hesitates
When it comes to love
He will never know
The wonder of it all.
A kiss -- a sigh,
You’ll never know
If you don’t try.
He who hesitates
When her eyes say yes,
Just how much you’ve missed
You will never guess.
Your chance
Goes by
And it’s too late
To wonder why.
Dreams cannot replace
The wonder of her smile.
The warmth of her embrace,
Don’t let it
Escape you.
When you fall in love
And you feel the glow,
Take her in your arms
Never let her go.
Don’t be
The one
To hesitate with love.
~interlude~

Funny, how I’ve stopped loving you
I can pass you on the street and my heart don’t skip a beat
Not much, so much my eyes wanna cry

I can listen to your name and it doesn’t start a flame
Not much, so much my heart wants to die

And if I have proved to you everything I say is true
Please help me believe my own lies

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I’ll give you my heart
I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we’ll never part

Darling, I’m never lonely
Whenever you are in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons

For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won't say "Good night" until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know
Faith can move mountains
Darling, you will see
I can move mountains
If you have faith in me
Faith can work magic
This I find with you
Yours is the magic
To make my wishes come true
So tell me again you love me
Kiss me and I'll be strong
What couldn't I do when I know that you
Are here to help me along?
Yes, faith can move mountains
Darling, you will see
I can move mountains
If you have faith in me
So tell me again you love me
Kiss me and I'll be strong
What couldn't I do when I know that you

Don't blame me
For falling in love with you.
I'm under your spell
But how can I help it?
Don't blame me.
Can't you see
When you do the things you do
If I can't conceal
The thrill that I'm feeling,
Don't blame me.
I can't help it
If that doggone moon above
Makes me need
Someone like you to love.
Blame your kiss
As sweet as a kiss can be,
And blame all your charms
That melt in my arms,
But don't blame me.

Do nothing till you hear from me,
Pay no attention to what’s said.
Why people tear the seams of anyone’s dreams
Is over my head.
Do nothing till you hear from me,
At least consider our romance.
If you should take the words of others you’ve heard,
I haven’t a chance.
True, I’ve been seen with someone new,
But does that mean that I’ve been untrue?
When we’re apart,
The words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memories,
And other arms may hold a thrill,
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will.

Dinner for one please, james,
The madame will not be dining.
Yes, you may bring the wine in,
Love plays such funny games.
Dinner for one please, james,
Close madame’s room, we’ve parted.
Please, don’t look so downhearted,
Love plays such funny games.
Seems my best friend told her of another,
I had no chance to deny.
You know there has never been another,
Someday she’ll find out the lie.
Maybe she’s not to blame,
Leave me with silent hours.
No, don’t move her favorite flowers,
Dinner for one please, james.

Dear lonely hearts...
I’m-a writing to you
You said you could help
People looking for love.
I’ve been so lonely,
I don’t know what to do.
And that is why
I’m writing this letter to you.
(it’s no use livin’)
When you’re alone.
Please help me find
A love of my own.
If you know someone,
Please tell me who.
Dear lonely hearts...
I’d be so grateful to you
(so grateful to you).
(she don’t have to have money)
She don’t have to have money,
(she don’t have to be a queen)
She don’t have to be a queen.
(as long as she loves me)
As long as she loves me,
(that’s the important thing)
That’s the important thing.
’cause I’m gonna love her,
(I’m gonna love her)
I’ll always be true .
(I’ll always be true)
Dear lonely hearts,
Oh, please,
See what you can do.
(see what you can do)
I guess that’s all,
(I guess that’s all)
I’m gonna close for now.
(I’m gonna close for now)
But try to find
(please try to find)
Somebody, somehow.
(somebody, somehow)
If you know someone,
Please tell me who.
Dear lonely hearts...
I’d be so grateful
To you.
(grateful to you)

Dance, ballerina, dance
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin’ heart.
Dance, ballerina, dance
You mustn’t once forget a dancer has to dance the part.
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
And just ignore the chair that’s empty in the second row.
This is your moment, girl,
Although he’s not out there applauding as you steal the show.
Once you said his love must wait it’s turn
You wanted fame instead.
I guess that’s your concern,
We live and learn.
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can’t afford a backward glance.
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As ’round and ’round you go
So ballerina, dance
Dance, dance!
Whirl, ballerina!
Once you said his love must wait it’s turn,
You wanted fame instead.
I guess that’s your concern,

Dance!

I took a choo-choo-choo-choo fast as I could take a choo-choo,
I’ve come a long-long-long-long way to take you in my arms.
And now it’s your first move to prove that you’ve been true,
Come to baby, do.
I’ve been away-way-way-way-way beyond the blue horizon,
I hope that no-no-no-no-no one else is on your mind.
So pucker up, my sweet, and meet your waterloo,
Come to baby, do.
Stop me from guessing,
T’ain’t no time to tease.
Stop all your messin’,
And put your beggin’ baby at ease.
I wanna love-love-love you just the way I wanna love you,
I’m gonna try-try-try to try to make you understand.
When all is said and done, the one for me is you.
Come to baby, do.
~interlude~
Come to baby, do.
I’ve come a long, long way to kiss ya
You’ll never know how much I missed ya.
Stop your teasin’ --
Come to baby, do.
Each time I look at you is like the first time
Each time you're near me the thrill is new
And there is nothing that I wouldn't do for
The rare delight of the sight of you for
The more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow this feeling just grows and grows
With every sigh I become more mad about you
More lost without you and so it goes
Can you imagine how much I love you?
The more I see you as years go by
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try
I know the only one for me can only be you
My arms won't free you, my heart won't try
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some Mistle Toe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a glow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although its been said
Many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you...
*music* {10 stanzas}
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92

Merry Christmas to you...
(jimmy van heusen, johnny burke)
Love is funny, or it’s sad,
Or it’s quiet, or it’s mad.
It’s a good thing, or it’s bad,
But beautiful...
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall,
And I’m thinking,
I wouldn’t mind at all.
Love is tearful, or it’s gay,
It’s a problem, or it’s play.
It’s a heartache either way,
But beautiful...
And I’m thinking, if you were mine,
I’d never let you go.
And that would be but beautiful,
I know.
~interlude~
And I’m thinking, if you were mine,

Moonlight was made for a June night
And June nights were made , dear,
for love and romance
For heavenly kisses, for lips sweet and tender
On this night of splendour
You're so far away
Come closer to me so I can see
heaven in your eyes
Come closer to me so I can be
close to Paradise
Thrill me with your kisses
Let me learn what bliss is
Kiss me once and then we'll kiss and kiss again
And life will be divine
Come closer my dear
So I can hear
music in my heart
I've waited so long to hear
the song that youre love will start
Darling I'll adore you
Live my life just for you
All I ask is this
please give me one more kiss
and whisper you'll be mine
Come closer to me (etc...)
Hoy te estaba esperando
confiarte querida un
secreto de amor
Decirte bajito, bajito al oído
Muchas cosas lindas
Bien cerca de ti
Acercate más, y más, y mas
pero mucho mas
Y besame así, así, así
como besas tu
Pero besa pronto
Porque estou sufriendo
No lo estás tu viendo
Que lo estoy queriendo
sin quererlo tú
Acercate más, y más, y más
pero mucho más
Y besame así, así, así
como besas tu
Acaso pretendes a desesperar me
ven por Diós a darme
eso beso tuyo
que te pedí yo
Acercate más y más, y más (etc...)
(harry warren, al dubin)
I walk along the street of sorrow,
The boulevard of broken dreams.
Where gigolo and gigolette
Can take a kiss without regret
So they forget their broken dreams.
You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow,
When you behold your shattered dreams.
And gigolo and gigolette
Awake to find their eyes are wet
With tears that tell of broken dreams.
Here is where you’ll always find me,
Always walking up and down.
But I left my soul behind me
In an old cathedral town.
The joy you find here, you borrow,
You cannot keep it long, it seems.
But gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams.

Because of rain I fell in love with you
The raindrops seem to want to help me, too
Because of rain we stayed indoors and watched it pour
That’s how I found the one that I adore
Because of rain we stole a kiss or two
The cloudy day gave way to skies of blue
We must thank the misty, moisty windowpane
We found our love because of rain
Because of rain we stole a kiss or two
The cloudy day gave way to skies of blue

We found our love because of rain

Once I had a gal,
As sweet as she could be.
Once I had a gal,
And she was right for me.
Kinda sandy hair,
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldn’t help but care
When she looked at you.
She called me "baby"...
"baby", all the time.
She said, "baby, can’t you see?
"baby, understand
"baby, you’re for me,
Won’t you take my hand? "
But I pushed her away,
Wouldn’t let her near
Pushed her far away
Now I’m wishing I could hear her
Call me "baby"...
"baby", all the time.
~interlude~
It’s so lonely through the day,
Lonely through the night,
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that gal I held so tight.
Lord, I pray that you
Will listen to my plea.
Keep her close to you
So she’ll come back to me,
And call me "baby"...
"baby", all the time.
Baby...
Baby, all the time.
(b. davis, d. wolf)
Gone and got the blues in paris,
Paris blues called azure-te.
How can I be blue in paris?
Easy, ’cause you’re far away.
Can’t lose this blues,
This azure-te.
Moments, springtime, eiffel tower,
Funny taxes, kids at play.
Paris without you is lonesome,
Yearning more and more each day.
Can’t lose this blues,
This azure-te.
~interlude~
If you knew how much I need you,
You’d come back to me to stay.
Having you with me in paris
Really is the only way
To lose this blues,
This azure-te.
Can’t lose this blues,
This azure-te.
Answer me
oh my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me
my love.
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray
Please answer me
my love.
If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me
my love.
- words by harold adamson and leo mccarey, music by harry warren
Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we’ll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair, may it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember
(r. b. sherman)
When you raise your eyes and make believe,
All the stars come out and paint a world of blue.
There’s my heart right up your sleeve
Waiting all for you.
When you smile on me, the world is mine,
And the dreams I dream, I know will all come true.
Every care becomes divine
Waiting all for you.
My heart is beating to the old refrain
When I’m alone with you.
My heart’s repeating, "i’m in love again"
Can’t we hold a rendez-vous?
You’re the dreams I dream, the song I sing
You’re the stars and moon and nearly everything.
Life would be a symphony,
Waiting all for you.

A thousand thoughts of you
Will haunt me ever after
The music of your laughter
Will serenade my heart.
A thousand thoughts of you
Will roam the night and find me
With chains of love, they’ll bind me
To dreams that won’t depart.
Your face,
Your smile,
The moonlight in your hair
Your lips,
Your eyes,
I’ll see them everywhere.
A thousand kisses, too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there’ll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you.

A thousand kisses, too

O CHRISTMAS TREE
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
With faithful leaves unchanging;
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
With faithful leaves unchanging;
Not only green in summer's heat,
But also winter's snow and sleet,
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
With faithful leave unchanging.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely;
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely;
Each year, you bring to me delight
Gleaming in the Christmas night.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
Of all the trees most lovely.
Not only green in summer's heat,
But also winter's snow and sleet,
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
With faithful leave unchanging.
A blossom fell from off a tree
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me
The gypsies say and I know why
"A falling blossom only touches lips that lie"
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway, that's the best.
Get your kicks on Route 66.
It winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way,
Get your kicks on Route 66.
Now you go through Saint Louie,
And Joplin, Missouri,
And Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty, you'll see...
Amarillo...
Gallup, New Mexico,
Flagstaff, Arizona,
Don't forget Winona,
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip?
Get your kicks on Route 66.
~interlude~
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip?
Get your kicks on Route 66...

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one i see
V is very very extraordinary and
E is even more than anyone that you adore
and love is all that i can give to you
love is more than just a game for two
two in love can make it
take my heart but please dont break it and
LOVE was made for me and you
L is for the way you look at me

LOVE was made for me and you
Simple melodies become enchanting symphonies
When you're with someone you love
Starlit summer nights
Can hold a thousand new delights
When you're with someone you love
Ev'ry little flower seems to blossom by the hour
With some rare perfume
She can touch your hand
And make a palace of a tiny room
Happy things are gladder
Even sad things so much sadder
When there's someone you love
You can climb the ladder of romance
And reach the stars above
And when you've quarreled
And vowed you would end it
How sweet it is when you mend it
You're just not you without
Can't do without that someone you love
[Instrumental Interlude]
And when you've quarreled
And vowed you would end it
How sweet it is when you mend it
You're just not you without
Anytime, any day, anywhere
Say the word, you'd be heard
I'll be there
Makes no difference where it leads me
I'll come running if you need me
Anytime, any day, anywhere
It makes no difference where it leads me
I'll come running if you need me
Anytime, any day, anywhere
Anytime, any day, anywhere
Any day, anywhere
Anytime, any day, anywhere
Say the word, you'd be heard
I'll be there
No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you
I know for certain
The one I love
I'm through with flirtin'
It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you
Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don't go nowhere
What do I care
Your kisses
Are worth waiting for
Believe me
I don't stay out late
Don't care to go
I'm home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my-y love for you
Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don't go nowhere
What do I care
Your kisses
Are worth waiting for
Believe me-ee
I don't stay out late
Don't care to go
I'm home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin'
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times
Many ways, Merry Christmas to you
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times
I've just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When I met my sweet Lorraine, Lorraine, Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are brighter than the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
Now when it's rainin', I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle
Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry sweet Lorraine
Now when it's rainin', I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile
And to think that I'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle
Each night I pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
Cuckoo singin' his heart heart out
Robin raisin' a din
What is so rare
As June in the air
Summer is a-comin' in
Old man goin' out fishin'
Puttin' worms in a tin
Look at him go
So easy and slow
Summer is a-comin' in
Wha's all the hurly burly
There's a noise that's mighty queer
Could it be school's out early
Could it be laughter I hear
Feel a strange kind'o stirrin'
Something's bound to begin
The world is dressed in her Sunday best
Summer is a-comin' in (BREAK)
What is so rare
As June in the air
Summer is a-comin' in (BREAK)
Look at him go
So easy and slow
Summer is a-comin' in
What's all the hur-ly burly
There's a noise that's mighty queer
Could it be school's out early
Could it be laughter I hear
Feel a strange kind'o stirrin'
Somethin's bound to begin
The world is dressed in her Sunday best
Summer is a-co-om-in' in...
Strange, how you dangerous eyes compel me, although they
tell me me to beware
and it's so strange, how you change every dull humdrum
thing, making it something sweet and rare
is this a game your enjoying with me - or are you toying
with me in this romance
if by some chance you'll arrange to return even half of
my love, i won't ask why love - it's so strange
The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on a square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "Now listen Jack"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin', what's the use of jivin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
The buzzard told the monkey you are chokin' me
Release your hold and I will set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
And said, "Your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
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
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night 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, now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright, you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
You promised me you'd come back
I promised to wait
But I was a little too lonely
And you were a little too late
Too many long nights alone
Not even a date
So I got a little too lonely
And now you're a little too late
You never would write, you never would call
While I had the blues, you were havin' a ball
You thought that I'd be here to run to
Now I'm gonna do to you what I was done to
Too bad about you my friend
It could've been great
But I was a little too lonely
And you were a little too late
You never would write, you never would call
While I had the blues, you were havin' a ball
You thought that I'd be here to run to
Now I'm gonna do to you what I've was done to
A too bad about you my friend
Now it could've been great
But I was a little too lonely
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning
On Christmas Day in the morning
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?
On Christmas Day in the morning
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day in the morning
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the Angels in Heaven shall sing
On Christmas Day in the morning
Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Then let us all rejoice again
On Christmas Day in the morning
I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long
To hold you in my arms
This time is my time
Will soon be goodbye time
Then in the star light, hold me tight
With one more little kiss
Say, nighty night
I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you, won't lose you
I wish you knew how much I long
To hold you in my arms
This time is my time
Will soon be goodbye time
Then in the star light, hold me tight
With one more little kiss
Hark, the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With th' angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark, the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new born King"
Hail the Heaven born, Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark, the herald angels sing
Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji
Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
He was always in love, in love, in love
Come to my tent, oh, my beloved
Bring me your lips, warm as the sun
Hear my lament, oh, my beloved
Come to my arms, oh, wonderful one
Enter my heart and stay there forever
Lost in the spell of stars up above
And we'll be like the man Hajji Baba
Always in love, always in love
Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji
Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
He was always in love, in love
Deep in each soul, carefully hidden
There's a desire to be indiscreet
Hajji has said when love is forbidden
Love is so sweet, love is so sweet
Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba, Hajji Baba
He was always in love, in love, in love
Come to my arms, oh, my beloved
Love makes me treat you the way that I do,
Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
There's nothing in this world too good
For a girl so good and true.
Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,
A diamond ring,
A big Cadillac car, and everything.
What makes me treat you the way that I do?
Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
~interlude~
Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,
A diamond ring,
A big Cadillac car, and everything.
What makes me treat you the way that I do?
Gee...
Funny, how I've stopped loving you
I can pass you on the street and my heart don't skip a beat
Not much, so much my eyes wanna cry
Funny, how I've stopped loving you
I can listen to your name and it doesn't start a flame
Not much, so much my heart wants to die
Now that you're standing here, darling, I don't shed a tear
This is just the rain in my eyes
And if I have proved to you everything I say is true
Please help me believe my own lies
Funny, how I've stopped loving you
And it's funny I don't miss all the heaven in your kiss
Your touch, no I don't love you, not much
Funny, how I've stopped loving you
And it's funny I don't miss all the heaven in your kiss
Your touch, no I don't love you, not much
It was fascination
I know
And it might have ended
Right then, at the start
Just a passing glance
Just a brief romance
And I might have gone
On my way
Empty hearted
It was fascination
I know
Seeing you alone
With the moonlight above
Then I touch your hand
And next moment
I kiss you
Fascination turned to love
It was fascination
I know
Seeing you alone
With the moonlight above
Then I touch your hand
And next moment
I kiss you
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms would ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
(Instrumental)
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
Madam, Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
She is sorry to be delayed
But last evening
Down at Lover's Lane she strayed
Madam, Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
When she woke from her dream
And found that her love had gone
Madam, she ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray
And from under her velvet gown
She drew a gun and shot her lover down
Madam, Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today
Then the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail
Madam, they strung her upon
A willow across the way
And the moment before she died
She lifted up her lovely head and cried
Madam, Miss Otis regrets
Lovewise, you're perfect
Touchwise, you thrill me
Tender longings thrill me
Every time I take your hand
Facewise, attractive
Smilewise, appealing
This contented feeling
Can't be hard to understand
You're sheer delight
And much too nice to break up with
But should we fight
You'd be such fun to make up with
Dreamwise, so haunting
Heartwise, so giving
Life is worth the living
'Cause you've made it plain to see
That lovewise, you're perfect for me
You're sheer delight
And much too nice to break up with
But should we fight
You'd be such fun to make up with
Dreamwise, so haunting
Heartwise, so giving
Life is worth the living
'Cause you've made it plain to see
Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
But I know, oh yes I know
I'd never make that same mistake again
Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned
Looking back over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
But I know, oh yes I know
If they had ever told me how sweet a kiss could be
I would have said, "Impossible, impossible for me"
And if they said I'd find you beyond the rainbow's end
I would have said, "Impossible, impossible, my friend"
To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems I'm living in a dream
Too beautiful to be
If they had said a moonbeam could calm a stormy sea
I would have said, "Impossible" but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me
I would have said "Impossible" but now at last I see
If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care?
Will you always treat me tenderly?
And in every way be fair?
If I give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love?
Will you swear that you'll be true to me?
By the light that shines above?
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad?
Smile with me when I'm glad?
And always be as you are with me tonight?
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all these things to me
God rest ye merry, gentlemen let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our Heavenly Father a blessed Angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas all other doth deface
I've found my love in Avalon beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
I dream of him in Avalon from dusk 'til dawn
And so I think I'll travel on to Avalon
Yes, I've found my love in Avalon beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
Oh, I, I dream of him in Avalon from dusk until dawn
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
You used me for a stepping stone
'Til something better came along.
Now you've moved along
And left me behind.
I wonder, darling,
Who's next in line?
You left a trail of broken hearts
Torn into a million parts.
How many more
Will crumble like mine?
I wonder, darling,
Who's next in line?
Who will the next fool be?
Who will you kiss,
Like you kissed me?
Who will be next
To look in your eyes,
And believe all your beautiful lies?
I know, my love, the day will come
You'll pay for all,
All the wrong you've done.
You'll meet someone
Who isn't so blind.
My darling, your heart
Is next in line.
My darling, your heart
Maybe next in line.
My darling, your heart
Is next in line.
I went to Londontown
To clear up my mind,
Then on to Paris
For the fun I couldn't find.
I found I couldn't leave my memories behind.
Where can I go without you?
Tried seeing Singapore,
But that wouldn't do.
Went to Vienna,
But I found you there, too.
Even in Switzerland, your memory came through.
Where can I go without you?
I wanted travel, I wanted romance,
I chased that rainbow across the sea.
I'm tired of faces, and quaint old places
If you can't be there with me.
Back on the boat again
And farewell to France,
Farewell to Londontown,
They haven't a chance.
I'll trade the sights I've seen
For just one loving glance.
Where can I go without you?
~interlude~
I'm tired of faces, and quaint old places
If you can't be there with me.
Back on the boat again
And farewell to France,
Farewell to Londontown,
They haven't a chance.
I'll trade the sights I've seen
For just one loving glance.
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall
In love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give
My heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Oh, do I hear you saying you got hurt?
Did you say that she?s a flimflam flirt?
Are you saying that some
Double-dealing doll went and did you dirt?
Well, bub, welcome, welcome, welcome to the club
Now you know the feeling when you?re stung
Now you know why Torchy songs are sung
So you stumbled down the ladder of love to the bottom rung
Well, bub, welcome, welcome, welcome to the club
Hear, hear, hear, don?t look so gloomy
Look a here, here, here, it?s happened to me
So have no fear, love went and threw me
But we all snap back, mac
Ten to one, you?ll give up wondering why
Why she gave you up for that new guy
But until you find the kiss
That makes you kiss all your blues goodbye
Well, bub, welcome, welcome, welcome to the club
But until you find the kiss
That makes you kiss all your blues goodbye
Well, bub, ah, wel, wel, wel, wel, welcome
Ah, wel, wel, wel, wel, welcome
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer
Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies
Then lock the house up, now you're set
And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis
As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
You'll wish that summer could always be here
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer
Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in
Or some romantic moon it seems
Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin'
This will make you laugh,
I staked my dreams on you.
This will make you laugh,
They never did come true.
I took a chance on the one romance,
I vowed it couldn't miss.
But I should have known to never judge,
A heart borrowed kiss.
This will make you laugh,
I once believed in you.
And for all my love,
You didn't see it through.
Of all the fools, I break the rule.
I love you still you see,
This will make you laugh,
But it's not funny to me.
(Instrumental)
Of all the fools, I break the rule.
I love you still you see,
This will make you laugh,
There goes my heart, there goes the one I love
There goes the girl I wasn't worthy of
There goes my happiness, it couldn't be
There goes somebody else in place of me
Goodbye romance, it couldn't last somehow
I had my chance but it's all over now
I never thought that she could pass me by
So these are the ropes
The tricks of the trade
The rules of the road
You're one of the dopes
For whom they were made
The rules of the road
You follow that kiss
And recklessly miss
A bend of the road
Then suddenly this
The end of the road
So love is a hoax
A glittering stream
Of little white lies
But these are the jokes
And what if they bring
The tears to your eyes?
Well, love often shows
A funny return
The brighter it glows
The longer you burn
And Lord only knows
Love has little concern
For the fools of the road
But that's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the road
But that's how it goes
You live and you learn
The rules of the road
And everyone knows
That that's how it goes
I'll never say 'Never again' again
'Cause, see, I'm in love again
Head over heels in love again
With you
I'll never say 'Never kiss you' again
'Cause see, I'm kissing you again
That's just the thing I'd say it
I'd never do
I walked away and said goodbye
I was hasty, wasn't I?
I missed you, so I thought I'd die
But it's all over now, throw my hat in the sky
I'll never say 'Never again' again
'Cause see, I am in love again
Head over heels in love again
With the same sweet you
Oh, never be in a rush to say goodbye
You may regret it, by and by
Why did we ever fall?
Say goodbye to love
Must have been insane
What was I thinking of?
Here we are, back together
Happier than before
All I can do is promise
For evermore
I'll never say 'Never', never again
Here I am in love again
Head over heels, I'm in love again
With you
Never say 'Never kiss you', never again
Here I am, kissing you again
That's just the thing I'd say
That I'd never do
I walked away and said goodbye
I was hasty, wasn't I?
I missed you, so I thought I'd die
But it's all over now, throw my hat in the sky
I'll never say 'Never again' again
'Cause, see, I am in love again
Head over heels in love again

Someone came and they found me

I used to walk with you
Along the avenue
Our hearts were carefree and gay
How could I know I'd lose you
Somewhere along the way?
The friends we used to know
Would always smile, "Hello"
No love like our love they'd say
Then love slipped through our fingers
Somewhere along the way
I should forget
But with the loneliness of night
I start remembering everything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me
So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray
That some day soon, I'll find you
Somewhere along the way
I should forget
But with the loneliness of night
I start remembering everything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me
So now I look for you
Along the avenue
And as I wander I pray
That some day soon, I'll find you
Somewhere along the way

If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
It winds from chicago to la,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Now you go through saint looey
Joplin, missouri,
And oklahoma city is mighty pretty.
You see amarillo,
Gallup, new mexico,
Flagstaff, arizona.
Don't forget winona,
Kingman, barstow, san bernandino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Solo
Won't you get hip to this timely tip:
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
A Portrait of Jennie
More precious to me
Than a masterpiece
How ever famous it be
The portrait of Jennie
Is etched on my heart
Where her features have been
Sketched from the start
Ah, the color and beauty of life
And the glow of her spirit divine
All cast in heaven's own design
With a portrait of Jennie
I never will part
For there isn't any portrait of Jennie
Except in my heart
For there isn't any portrait of Jennie
And then she hold my hand-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
And then I understand
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Her eyes afire with one desire
Then a heavenly kiss, could I resist?
And then I dim the light
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
And then I hold her tight
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Her kiss, each fond caress
They lead the way to happiness
She takes me to paradise
And when I dim the light
Mm-mm-mm-mm, she's willing
And when I hold her tight
Mm-mm-mm-mm, it's thrilling
Her kiss, each fond caress
They lead the way to happiness
No-o-o, I don't want her,
So I'll forget her.
Forget the love she gave me,
Somehow.
I've learned my lesson,
Don't have to tell me.
'Cause I'm gonna start forgettin',
Yes, I'm gonna start forgettin'
Right now.
Go on, take my share,
'Cause I don't want her.
And now, she's gone, good riddance, Goodbye.
But what my friends don't know
Is that I love her so.
And in my lonely room all day,
I cry.
Go-o on and take her,
'Cause I don't want her.
I know I'll find another,
Find another
Somewhere.
No, I don't want her,
She's not my kind now.
And if she's got somebody else,
Oh, really got somebody else,
I don't care.
To think that my love
Could say "Goodbye, love",
And leave me here, as low as the ground,
But no one knows but me
What she means to me,
And when I'm by myself,
All day I sigh.
'Cause without her...
I could lay me down
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
You’re like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only ‘cause you’re lonely they have blamed you
For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold an lonely lovely work of art
(Instrumental verse)
Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa
Or just a cold an lonely lovely work of art

I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough, I sleep well
Except for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull 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 won't find someone
As lovely as you
But I should care
And I do
I should care
I should let it upset me
I should care
But it just doesn't get me
Maybe I won't find someone
As lovely as you
But I should care

Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas, what to do
You know you've completely
Stolen my heart
Morning, noon and night time too
Toujours, wondering what to do
That's the way I've felt
Right from the start
Ah, Cheri!
My love for you is très, très fort
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more
But I hope that you compris
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more
But I hope that you compris
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup

Sittin' by de ocean, me heart, she feel so sad
Sittin' by de ocean, me heart, she feel so sad
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad
Fine calypso woman, she cook me shrimp and rice
Fine calypso woman, she cook me shrimp and rice
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice
In Trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie
Six coconut, one female goat
An' plenty fish to fill de boat
One bushel bread, one barrel wine
An' all de town, she come to dine
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye
Me throat she sick from necktie
Me feet hurt from shoes
Me pocket full of empty
I got Calypso blues
Dese yankee girl give me big scare
Is black de root, is blonde de hair
Her eyelash false, her face is paint
And pads are where de girl she ain't
She jitterbug when she should waltz
I even think her name is false
But calypso girl is good a lot
Is what you see, is what she got
Sittin' by de ocean, me heart, she feel so sad
Sittin' by de ocean, me heart, she feel so sad
Don't got de money
To take me back to Trinidad

Because you're mine
The brightest star I see
Looks down, my love, and envies me
Because you're mine, because you're mine
Because you're mine
The breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody and why?
Because you're mine, because you're mine
I only know for as long as I may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
If Beale Street could talk
Beale Street could talk
Married men would have to
Take their beds and walk
Except one or two
Who never drink booze
And the blind man on the corner
Who sings the Beale Street Blues
I'd rather be here
Than any place I know
I'd rather be here
Than any place I know
It's gonna take the sergeant
For to make me go
Goin' to the river
Maybe by and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a reason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
Goin' to the river
Maybe by and by
Goin' to the river
And there's a reason why
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
Because the river's wet
And Beale Street's done gone dry
Because the river's wet
Well now friends just lend an ear
For you're now about to hear
The ballad of Cat Ballou
It's a song that's newly made
And Professus and The Shade
And the Sunrise Kid are singin' it for you
Cat Ballou, Cat Ballou
It's a hangin' day in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf City, Wyomin', eighteen ninety four
They're gonna drop Cat Ballou
Through the gallows floor
She killed a man in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf City, Wyomin', killed a man it's true
And that is why they're a-hangin'
Hangin' Cat Ballou
She has the smile of an angel
(Fights like the Devil)
The eyes of an angel
(Bites like the Devil)
The face of an angel
(I say she's the Devil)
(She's mean and evil through and through)
Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou
She's mean and evil through and through
With her outlaw band they're now tellin' a story
Now tellin' a story how she rode the plain
The wildest gal in the We-est
Since Calamity Jane
And today's the day that she's goin' to glory
She's goin' to glory for the way she sinned
They'll be a-speedin' her soul
On a wayward wind
She has the smile of an angel
(Fights like the Devil)
The eyes of an angel
(Bites like the Devil)
The face of an angel
(I say she's the Devil)
(She's mean and evil through and through)
Cat Ballou (Cat Ballou)
Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou (Cat Ballou)
She's mean and evil through and through
Cat Ballou, Cat Ball-ou-ou-ou
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing the poor baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is night
Be near me Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London Town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know, we two were so in love?
The whole darn world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
When dawn came stealing up, all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendezvous
I still remember how you smiled and said
"Was that a dream? Or was it true?"
Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing a feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
A blossom fell from off a tree
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me
The gypsies say and I know why
A falling blossom only touches lips that lie
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together, to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together, to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
This is the end of a beautiful friendship
It ended a moment ago
This is the end of a beautiful friendship
I know 'cause your eyes told me so
We've always been
Like sister and brother
Until tonight
When we looked at each other
That was the end of a beautiful friendship
And just the beginning of love
That was the end of a beautiful friendship
Oh I'm going with Darlene in a tragical part of the night,
but I wish she would bring me a place of morning spectacular life,
make it last just a few, brother's knew, brother's lovers proclaim,
down at the subway station, just a few brother's mother's remain,
oh help the children,
Down at the television station momma,
your bored, getting tired,
but baby you ain't trying to warn me that the (?) getting fired,
just like those bored down now second old cures,
that we said, hubba hubba,
just like that funny little lady momma,
tidy and clean, just like butter,
yeah.
Oh everybody no no no Nat King Cole,
no no no Nat King Cole
no no Nat no no Nat no no Nat King Cole,
baby,
your giving birth to a jealous lover, baby
the situation is out of your hands momma,
a funny little lady, and Johnny laid a flower,
they gonna get me momma,
going home now yeah.
Now I've been monkey-ing around, but a beat, bobbing free-wheeling guy,
but this lean Adam Green found this motel is how I get by,
I got a hole in my berol Cheryl,
she let me out in the cold,
I got a hundred one fever momma,
should not be acting so old,
she acted so old now yeah,
Woooo, break it down now,
Nat King Cole, Nat King Cole,
Nat King Cole, Nat King Cole,
Nat King Cole, Nat King Cole.
