YOU'RE A HEAVENLY THING
Benny Goodman
They took the moonlight out of the skies
and put the moonlight right in your eyes
like a june night
You're a heavenly thing
They took the fragrance out of the dew
and sprinkled roses all over you
like a garden
You're a heavenly thing
They made a clinging vine
your embrace
stars that shine light your face
to combine everything
on your lips they put the breath of spring
and then they finished called it a day
they took the model threw it away
like an angel
You're a heavenly thing
YOU TURNED THE TABLES ON ME
Benny Goodman
I used to be the apple of your eye
I had yo with me every day,
But now whenever you are passing by
You're always looking the other way
It's little things like this
That prompt me to say:
You turned the tables on me
And now I'm falling for you;
You turned the tables on me
I can't believe that it's true
I always thought when you brought
The lovely present you bought
Why hadn't you brought me more,
But now if you'd come
I'd welcome anything
From the five and ten cent store,
You used to call me the top
You put me up on a throne
You let me fall with a drop
And now I'm out on my own.
But after thinking it over and over,
I got what was coming to me
Just like the sting of a bee
YOU TOOK THE WORDS RIGHT OUT OF MY HEART
Benny Goodman
You took the words right out of my heart
And it was like a bolt from the blue
You took the words right out of my heart
When you said I love you.
When you said I love you
I stood in a daze for a while
For I felt that way too
The moment I saw you smile
I had the words and you in my heart
There wasn't room for the two
You took the words right out of my heart
You had plenty money, 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
You're sittin' there and wonderin' what it's all about
You ain't got no money, they will put you out
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be a-wanderin' from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
I fell for your jivin' and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
THIS YEAR'S KISSES
Benny Goodman
(Irving Berlin)
This year's crop of kisses
Don't seem as sweet to me
This year's crop just misses
What kisses used to be
This year's new romance
Doesn't seem to have a chance
Even helped by Mr. Moon above
This year's crop of kisses is not for me
Stompin' At The Savoy
Benny goodman
Lyrics by: Andy Razaf (b. Andreamentena Razafinkeriefo)
Music by: Benny Goodman (Benjamin David G.)
Music by: Chick Webb (William Henry W.)
Music by: Edgar Sampson (E.Melvin S.)
Savoy, the home of sweet romance,
Savoy, it wins you with a glance,
Savoy, gives happy feet a chance to dance.
Your old form just like a clinging vine,
Your lips so warm and sweet as wine,
Your cheek so soft and close to mine, divine.
How my heart is singing,
While the band is swinging,
I'm never tired of romping,
And stomping with you at the Savoy.
What joy - a perfect holiday,
Savoy, where we can glide and sway,
Savoy, let me stomp away with you;
The home of sweet romance,
It wins you at a glance,
Gives happy feet a chance to dance.
Just like a clinging vine,
So soft and sweet as wine,
So soft and close to mine, divine.
How my heart is singing,
While the band is swinging,
I'm never, never, never tired of romping,
And stomping with you at the Savoy.
What joy - a perfect holiday,
Savoy, where we can glide and sway,
Savoy, let me stomp away with you;
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
I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause, my baby, he's gone left this town
Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man around by her
If it wasn't for her and her
That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere
I got the St. Louis Blues
Blues as I can be
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me
I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint'n rye
Stardust
- Artist: Nat King Cole
- peak Billboard position #79 in 1957
- words by Mitchell Parish and music by Hoagy Carmichael
- originally written as "Star Dust" in 1927
- charted in 1930 by Irving Mills (#20)
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied
They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Gonna take a Sentimental Journey,
Gonna set my heart at ease.
Gonna make a Sentimental Journey,
to renew old memories.
Got my bags, got my reservations,
Spent each dime I could afford.
Like a child in wild anticipation,
I Long to hear that, "All aboard!"
Seven...that's the time we leave at seven.
I'll be waitin' up at heaven,
Countin' every mile of railroad
track, that takes me back.
Never thought my heart could be so yearny.
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take that Sentimental Journey,
Sentimental Journey home.
Moonglow
- words by Eddie De Lange, music by Will Hudson and Irving Mills
- as recorded in New York August 20, 1934 by Ethyl Waters (1896-1977)
with members of the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra.
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you
It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue

O ye'll take the High Road,
And I'll take the Low Road,
But I'll be in Scotland afore ye.
But me and me true love
Will ne'er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O Loch Lomond.
By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond.
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks, O Loch Lomond.
Now ye'll take the High Road,
And I'll take the Low Road,
But I'll be in Scotland afore ye.
But me and me true love
Will ne'er meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks O Loch Lomond.
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen.
By the steep steep sides of Ben Lomond.
Where deep in purple hue, the highland hills we view.
And the sun coming out in the gloamin'.
But I'll be in Scotland afore ye.
But me and me true love
May ne'er meet again
On the bonnie banks
On those bonnie, bonnie banks
On the bonnie, bonnie banks, O Loch Lomond.
Mean Mistreater
Oh yeah! Sort of a "Matchbox" feel, but what a great groove! Sing it out for someone you used to love!
I got the hatchback loaded
I got my suitcase on the floor
I got the hatchback loaded
I got my suitcase on the floor
Well you're a mean mistreater
I just can't stay here anymore
You used to be so nice
You used to love me all the time
You used to be so nice
You used to love me all the time
Well you're a mean mistreater
I've got to find some peace of mind
You know I worked so hard
I try to keep you satisfied
You know I worked so hard
I try to keep you satisfied
Well you're a mean mistreater
These are the last tears that I cried
You know I sure do love you
You got a spell that I can't fight
You know I sure do love you
You got a spell that I can't fight
Well you're a mean mistreater
I need someone to treat me right
I got the hatchback loaded
I got my suitcase on the floor
I got the hatchback loaded
I got my suitcase on the floor
Well you're a mean mistreater
Memories of You
The Four CoinsFrank Sinatra
Writer(s): RazafBlake
Waking skies - at sunrise
Every sunset too
Seems to be - bringing me
Memories of you
Here and there - every where
Scenes that we once knew
And they all - just recall
Memories of you
(Oh) How I wish I could forget those, (those) happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears
Your face beams - in my dreams
(In) Spite of all (that) I do
(And) Everything - seems to bring
'Cause it's been so long since I held you tight
When we said goodnight
It's been so long, honey, can't you see
What you've done to me?
I've been in a kind of daze
For days and days and days
Feelin' blue, missin' you
In, oh, so many ways
'Cause it was so nice when we had that date
Every night at eight, it was so nice
Then we said goodbye, what a fool was I
Let me get back in your arms where I belong
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around
And finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue.
Or even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you.

Some others I've seen,
Might never mean.
Might never be cross,
Or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do.
For nobody else gave me a thrill,
With all your faults I love you still.
It had to be you, wonderful you,
I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could turn the gray skies to blue
If I had you
I could leave my old days behind
Leave all my pals and never mind
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross a burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a queen dear on ground
Humble or poor
Rich or renown
There is nothing I couldn't do
I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart
Tony Bennett
Written by Irving Mills, Henry Nemo, John Redmond, and Duke Ellington
This version did not chart but
In 1938, FIVE versions charted: Duke Ellington (# 1), Benny Goodman (also # 1), Connee
Boswell (# 5), Mildred Bailey (# 8), and Hot Lips Page (# 9)
I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song
Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong
Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day
I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
And when I hear you call so softly to me,
I dont hear a call at all, I hear a rhapsody.
And when your sparkling eyes are smiling at me,
Then soft through the starlit skies, I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you're away,
My heart longs for you, so wont you stay?
My darling, hold me tight and whisper to me
How High The Moon
Benny Goodman
Music and Lyrics by Morgan Lewis and Nancy Hamilton
Some where there's music,
How faint the tune!
Some where there's heaven,
How high the moon!
There is no moon above
When love is far away too,
Til it comes true
That you love me as I love you.
Some where there's music,
it's where you are.
Some where there's heaven,
How near, how far!
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon.
Until you will, how still my heart,
How high the moon!
Gotta Be This Or That
Benny Goodman & His Orchestra
Music and lyrics by Sunny Skylar
Gotta Be This Or That
If you ain't wrong, you're right
If it ain't day, it's night
If you ain't sure, you might
Gotta be this or that
If it ain't dry, it's wet
If you ain''t got, you get
If it ain't gross, it's net
Gotta be this or that
If it ain't sis, you can't miss
It's got to be your brother
Can't you see it's gotta be
One way or the other
If it ain't full, it's blank
If you don't spend, you bank
If it ain't Dee, it's Frank
Gotta be this or that
GOODY GOODY
Benny Goodman
So you met someone who set you back on your heels - goody goody
So you met someone and now you know how it feels - goody goody
So you gave him your heart too, just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces, now how do you do
So you lie awake just singin' the blues all night - goody goody
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite -
Hooray and hallelujah, you had it coming to ya
Goody goody for him - goody goody for me -
GOOD NIGHT, MY LOVE
Benny Goodman
(Mack Gordon & Harry Revel)
Good night, my love, the tired old moon is descending.
Good night, my love, my moment with you is now ending.
It was so heavenly, holding you close to me.
It will be heavenly to hold you again in a dream.
The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow.
Till then, my love, how dreary the new day will seem.
So for the present, dear, we'll have to part.
Sleep tight, my love, good night, my love,
Remember that you're mine, sweetheart.
Good night, my love, your mommy is kneeling beside you.
Good night, my love, to Dreamland the Sandman will guide you.
Come now, you sleepy head, close your eyes, go to bed.
My precious sleepy head, you mustn't play peek-a-boo.
Goodnight, my love, your little Dutch dolly is yawning.
Goodnight, my love, your teddy bear called it a day.
Your doggy's fast asleep, my but he's smart.
Sleep tight, my love, good night, my love,
The Flat Foot Floogee with the floy floy,
The Flat Foot Floogee with the floy floy,
The Flat Foot Floogee with the floy floy,
floy doy, floy doy, floy doy, floy doy.
The flat foot Floogee with the *flou flou,
The flat foot Floogee with the flou flou,
The flat foot Floogee with the flou flou,
flou dow, flou dow, flou dow, flou dow.
If you're feelin' low down, don't know what to do
and you want a showdown, here's the only dance for you.
The Flat Foot Floogee with the floy floy,
The Flat Foot Floogee with the floy floy,
The Flat Foot Floogee with the floy floy,
I know why I waited
Know why Ive been blue
Ive been waiting each day
For someone exactly like you
Why should I spend some money
On a show or two
When nobody sings these love songs
Exactly like you
You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
You make me understand
These foolish little dreams Im dreaming
And schemes Im scheming
Now I know why my mama
She taught me to be true
She knew just around the corner
Was somebody like you
You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
Baby you make me understand
These foolish little dreams Im dreaming
And schemes Im scheming
Now I know why my mama
She taught me to be true
She knew just around the corner
Yes she knew just around the corner
Evry Time We Say Goodbye
Benny Goodman
Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter
From Seven Lively Arts
Evry time we say goodbye I die a little.
Evry time we say goodbye I wonder why a little,
Why the gods above me, who must be in the know,
Think so little of me they allow me to go.
When you're near there's such a joy of spring about it.
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it.
there's no love song finer,
But how strange the change from major to minor
Evry time we say goodbye.
Evry single time we say goodbye
Why are the stars always winkin' and blinkin' above?
What makes a fellow start thinkin' of fallin' in love?
It's not the season, the reason is plain as the moon
It's just Elmer's Tune
What makes a lady of eighty go out on the loose?
Why does a gander meander in search of a goose?
What puts the kick in a chicken, the magic in June?
It's just Elmer's Tune
Listen
Listen
There's a lot you're liable to be missin'
Sing it
Swing it
Any old way and any old time
The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat
The candy maker, the baker, the man on the street
The city charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon
All sing Elmer's Tune
(Orchestral Interlude)
The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies, the cop on the beat
The baker, and the man on the street
The city charmer, the farmer, the man in the moon
All sing Elmer's Tune
They all sing Elmer’s Tune
They all sing Elmer’s Tune
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Don't Be That Way
Benny Goodman
by Benny Goodman, Edgar Sampson & Mitchell Parish
Don't cry, Oh honey please don't be that way
Clouds in the sky should never make you feel that way
The rain will bring the violets of May, tears are in vain
So honey, please don't be that way.
As long as we see it thru,
You'll have me, I'll have you.
Sweetheart, tomorrow is another day,
Don't break my heart,
Oh honey, please don't be that way.
DARN THAT DREAM
Benny Goodman
- words by Eddie Delange, music by Jimmy Van Heusen
Darn that dream I dream eat night
You say you love me and you hold me tight
But when I awake, you're out of sight
Oh, darn that dream
Darn your lips and darn your eyes
They lift me high above the moonlit skies
Then I tumble out of paradise
Oh, darn that dream
Darn that one-track mind of mine
I can't understand that you don't care
Just to change the mood I'm in
I'd welcome a nice old nightmare
Darn that dream and bless it too
Without that dream, I never would have you
But it haunts me and it won't come true
Oh, darn that dream
I was talkin to the whippoorwill
He says you got a corny trill
Bob White! Whatcha gonna swing tonight?
I was talkin to the mocking bird
He says you are the worst he's heard,
Bob White! Whatcha gonna swing tonight?
Even the owl-tells me you're foul
Singin those lullaby notes,
Don't be a bring down
If you can swing down
Gimme those high notes
There's a lotta talk about you, Bob
and they're sayin you're "off the cob"
Fake it, Mister B
Take it, follow me, Bob white
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper 'please adore me'
But when I looked, that moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper 'please adore me'
But when I looked, that moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
I found my love in Avalon beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
I dream of him and Avalon from dusk 'til dawn
And so I think I'll travel on to Avalon
Yes, I found my love in Avalon beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
I dream of him and Avalon from dusk 'til dawn
We meet, and the angels sing
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard
You speak, and the angels sing
Or am I breathing music into every word
Suddenly, the setting is strange
I can see water and moonlight beaming
Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore - Then
Suddenly, I see it all change
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming
Through it all your face that I adore.
You smile, and the angels sing
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start
We kiss, and the angels sing
I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand, always, always
Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but, always
Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
AFRAID TO DREAM
Benny Goodman
Afraid to dream, afraid that you may not be there
Afraid to dream, without you it would seem so bare
With open arms I call to you, I want you, dear
Just as I reach for you, why do you disappear?
Afraid to dream; I'll see you there with someone new
Afraid to find another one caressing you
Although you promised me that this could never be
These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You)
Tony Bennett
Words by Holt Marvell
Music by Jack Strachey and Harry Link
This version did not chart but
In 1936, five versions did: Benny Goodman (# 1), Teddy Wilson with Billie Holiday (# 5), Nat
Brandywynne (# 6), Carroll Gibbons (# 8), and Joe Sanders (# 17)
Then in 1947 Red Ingles, who perfected his novelty vocals with Spike Jones, charted a
humorous version, "Them Durn Fool Things" at # 26.
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 stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's faded swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow that this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
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 thrown aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

Other Version
These Foolish Things
Benny Goodman
(Marvell/Strachey/Link)
(Brian Ferry, 1973)
oh will you never let me be
oh will you never set me free
the ties that bound us
are still around us
there's no escape that I can see
and still those little things remain
that bring me happiness or pain
a cigarette that bears a lipsticks 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 fairgrounds painted swings
these foolish things
remind me of you
you came
you saw
you conquered me
when you did that to me I somehow knew that this had to be
the winds of March that make my heart a dancer
a telephone that rings but who's to answer
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you
gardenia perfume lingering on a pillow
wild strawberries only 7 francs a kilo
and still my heart has wings
these foolish things
remind me of you
I know
that this
was bound to be
these things have haunted me for you=B9ve entirely enchanted me
the sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
silk stockings thrown aside and sin-vitations
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you
the smile of Garbo and the scent of roses
the waiters whistling as the last bar closes
the song that Crosby sings
these foolish things
remind me of you
how strange
how sweet
to find you still
these things are dear to me that seem to bring you so near to me
the scent of smoking leaves the wail of steamers
two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
oh how the ghost of you clings
these foolish things
remind me of you
They say don't change the old for the new,
But I've found out this will never do
When you grow old you don't last long
You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone,
I loved a man(gal) for many years gone by,
I tho't his(her) love for me would never die,
He(She) made some changes that would never do
From now on I'm goin' to make some changs too.
Chorus:
For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be a change in me
My walk will be diff'rent my talk and my name
Nothin' about me is goin' to be the same,
I'm goin' to change my way of livin' if that ain't enough,
Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff,
'cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray
Ther'll be some change made.
Verse:
They say the old time things are the best,
That may be very good for all the rest
But I'm goin' to let the old things be
'Cause they are certainly not suited for me,
There was a time when I thought that way,
That's why I'm all alone here today
Since ev'ry one of these days seeks something new
From now on I'm goin' to seek some new things too.
Chorus:
For there's a change in the fashions,
Ask the fiminine folks
Even Jack Benny has been changing jokes,
I must make some changes from old to the new
I must do things just the same as others do,
I'm goin' to change my long, tall Mamma(Daddy) for a ittle short Fat,
Goin' to change the number where I live at.
I must have some lovin' or I'll fade away,
There'll be some changes made.
------------------------------
Here are additional choruses that appear on the inside page in the sheet
music. Interesting.
There's a change in your manner
And a change in your way
There was time once when you was O.K.
You once said you save ev'ry kiss for my sake
Now your're giving all the girls an even break
I'm gonna send out invitations to the men I know
Cause your're gettin' colder than a Eskimo
I must have my lovin' or I'll fade away
There'll be some changes made to-day
There'll be some changes made.
For there's a change in your manner
There's a change in your style
And here of late you never wear a smile
You don't seem to act like a real lover should
You can't thrill your mamma if your're made of wood
I gotta have a man who loves me like a real live Sheik
With a tasty kiss that lingers for a week
I'm not over sixty so it's time to say
There'll be some changes made to-day
There'll be some changes made.
For there's a change in your squewezin'
There's a change in your kiss
It used to have a kick that I now miss
You'd set me on fire when you used to tease
Now each time you call I just sit there and freeze
You had a way of making love that made a hit with me
One time you could thrilll me but it's plain to see
You're not so ambitious as you used to be
There'll be some changes made to-day
There'll be some changes made.
There's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
From now on There'll be a change in me
I'm tired of working all of my life
I'm gonna grab a rich husband and be his wife
I'm going to ride around in a big limousine
Wear fancy clothes and put on plenty of steam
No more tired puppies, will I treat you mean
There'll be some changes made to-day
There'll be some changes made.
For there's a change in your manner
There's a change in your smile
From now on you can't be worth my while
I'm right here to tell you with you I'm thru
Your brand of lovin' will never do
I'm gettin' tired of eating just butter and bread
I could enjoy a few pork chops instead
You know variety is the spice of life they say
There'll be some changes made to-day (I'll get mine)
Someday, when I'm awfully low
And the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely
With your smile so warm, and your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that smile that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it, 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
THE GLORY OF LOVE
Bette Midler
by Billy Hill
from Beaches
"This is a song I've been singing for a long time. It's like an old friend. But, you know, I
think it, it's only
recently that I discovered what it's really about."
You've got to give a little, take a little,
and let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
until the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
As long as there's the two of us,
we've got the world and all it's charms.
And when the world is through with us,
we've got each other's arms.
You've got to win a little, lose a little,
yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
TAKING A CHANCE ON LOVE
The Benny Goodman Orchestra
Words and Music by John Latouche and Ted Fetter plus additional music by
Vernon Duke
In 1943, Benny Goodman hit # 1 with it and Sammy Kaye got to # 13.
Introduced by Ethel Waters in the Broadway musical "Cabin In the Sky."
Waters later reprised it as a non-charting single with Dooley "Play It
Again, Sam" Wilson.
Then, in 1943, Waters did it in the movie version with Eddie "Rochester"
Anderson
Here I go again;
I hear those trumpets blow again;
All aglow again - taking a chance on love.
Here I slide again;
About to take that ride again.;
Starry eyed again - taking a chance on love.
I thought the cards were a frame-up
I never would try.
But now I'm taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high.
Things are mending now;
I see a rainbow blending now;
We'll have our happy ending now
Taking a chance on love.
Here I come again;
I'm gonna make things hum again;
Acting dumb again - taking a chance on love.
Here I stand again;
About to beat the band again;
Feeling grand again - taking a chance on love.
I never dreamed in my slumbers
And bets were taboo.
But now I'm playing the numbers,
On a little dream for two.
Wading in again;
I'm leading with my chin again;
I'm startin' out to win again
Taking a chance on love.
Here I slip again;
About to take that tip again;
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love.
Now I prove again;
That I can make life move again;
In the grove again
Taking a chance on love.
I walk around with a horseshoe,
In clover I lie.
And brother rabbit of course you,
Better kiss your foot goodbye!
On the ball again;
I'm riding for a fall again;
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love.

Symphony
Symphony of love
Music from above
How does it start?
You walk in
And the song begins
Singing violins start in my heart
Then you speak
The melody seems to rise
Then you sigh
It sighs and it softly dies
Symphony
Sing to me
Then we kiss
And it's clear to me
When you're near to me
Every little star above knows the one I love
Sweet Sue, just you
And the moon up high knows the reason why
Sweet Sue, it's you
No one else, it seems ever shares my dreams
And without you, dear, I don't know what I'd do
In this heart of mine you live all the time
Sweet Sue, just you
(Every star above knows the one I love)
It's you, sweet Sue
(And the moon up high knows the reason why)
It's you, sweet Sue
Nobody else it seems ever shares my dreams
And without you, dear, I don't know what I'd do
In this heart of mine you live all the time
