I only want what's the best thing for you
And the best thing for you would be me
I've been convinced
After thinking it through that the best thing for you would be me
Everyday to myself I'd say point the way
What would it be?
I ask myself what's the best thing you
And myself and I seem to agree
When I grow too old to dream, I will 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.
When I grow too old to dream, your love will live in my heart.
When I grow, when I grow too old to dream, I will have you to remember.
When I grow, when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live, will live in my heart.
So kiss me, my sweet, and so let us part.
When I grow, when I grow too old
sh-do-ya-do-ya-do-ya to dream! Your love will live in my heart.
So kiss me my sweet! And so let us part
When I grow too old to dream, your love will live in my heart
(Maty Malneck - Gus Kahn - Fred Livingston)
I'm thru with love,
I'll never fall again.
Said I do to love,
Don't ever call again.
For I must have you
Or no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.
I've locked my heart.
I keep my feelings there.
I have stopped my heart
Like an icy frigidaire.
For I need to care for no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.
Why did you leave me
To think that you cared.
You didn't need me.
You have your share
of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
Their deep devotion.
Emotion.
Did you good by the spring (*)
And all it meant to me
a good neighbor (*)
The things that used to be.
For I must have you or no one.
That's why I'm thru with love.
That's why I'm thru with love.
Broadway, Broadway
Everybody's happy and gay
Where the night is brighter than day
Up along Broadway
Sweethearts and beaus
Dressed up in their Sunday best cloths
On their way to movies and shows
Up along Broadway
Out of town, I'm low down
When I walk along the main street
Anywhere I don't care
I always find a main street just another plain street
Broadway,
Take a little time out to play
Where the joy of living holds way
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling, you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before and loved before
But who knows where or when?
Who knows where or when?
I search for phrases to sing your praises
But there aren't any magic adjectives
To tell you all you are
You're just too marvelous, too marvelous
For words like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough
You're much, too much and just too very, very
To ever be in Webster's dictionary and so
I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words
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 hearts does not stand still
Just to repeat
This is too sweet to be love
This can't be love because I feel so well
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
The bumpy road to love
Though I'll always, always keep
The memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced 'till three
The way you changed my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
The autumn leaves
Drift by my window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburnt hands
I used to hold.
But since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I’ll hear
Old winter’s song
But I miss you most af all
My darling
When autumn leaves start to fall.
The autumn leaves
Drift by my window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburnt hands
I used to hold.
But since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I’ll hear
Old winter’s song
But I miss you most af all
My darling
When autumn leaves start to fall.
Treat me sweet and gentle
When you hold me tight
Just squeeze me
But please don't tease me
I get sentimental
When you hold me tight
Come on and squeeze me
But please don't tease me
Missing you since you went away
Singing the blues most everyday
Counting the nights and longing for you
I'm in the mood to let you know
I never knew I loved you so
Please tell me that you love me too
For when I get that feeling
I'm in ecstasy
Come on and squeeze me
But please don't tease me
Missing you since you went away
I get the blues most everyday
Counting the nights and longing for you
I'm in the mood to let you know
I never knew I loved you so
Please tell me that you love me too
For when I get that feeling
I'm in ecstasy
Come on and squeeze me
But please don't tease me
Come on and squeeze me
Don't never leave me
Come on and squeeze me
But please don't tease me
Come on and squeeze me
(Grusin)
Young lonesome soldier
Sleeping in the rain
Far from home
Half a child
Half a hero
Tossed by the times
Caught in the winds
Dream, lonesome soldier
Weary of the rain
Dream of home
Someone's son
Someone's lover
Dream that your someday child
Never knows the rain
Never trust the stars
When you're about to fall in love
Look for hidden signs before you start to sigh
Never trust the moon
When you're about to taste his kiss
He knows all the lines and he knows how to lie
Just wait for a night
When the skies are all bare and then
If you still care
Never trust your dreams
When you're about to fall in love
For you're dreams may quickly fall apart
So if you're smart
Really smart
Your lips were like a red and ruby chalice
Warmer than the summer night
The clouds were like an alabaster palace
Rising to a snowy height
Each star it's on Aurora Borealis
Its own
Suddenly you held me tight
I could see the midnight sun
I can't explain
The silver rain that found me
Or was that a moonlit veil
The music of the Universe
Around me
Or was that a nightingale
And then you arms miraculously found me
your arms
Suddenly the sky turned pale
I could see the midnight sun
Was there such a night
It's a thrill
I still don't quite believe
But after you were gone
There was still some
Stardust on my sleeve
The flame of it may dwindle
To an amber
ember
And the stars forget to shine
And we may see the meadow in December
Icy, wide and cristaline
But oh my darling always I'll remember
When your lips were close to mine
And we saw the Midnight Sun
The Midnight Sun
I used to walk between the shadows
Lost in a world that grew too fast
I was afraid I’d always be alone
Then I saw your face at last
I found my way even in the dark there were times it seemed too far
I knew if I listen to my heart I found that love is where you are
I close my eyes and see tomorrow
My dreams begin and end with you
I hear you say you’d be there, always be there
I must believe it’s true
I found my way even in the dark there were times it seemed too far
I knew if I listen to my heart I found that love is where you are
Love is where you are and anywhere you are
Is where I want to be
No matter what will happen
No matter where I go
Your arms are hope to me
I found my way even in the dark there were times it seemed too far
Somehow I knew even at first sight
That love is anywhere you are
Love is where you are
Love is where you are
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do
Old girl you're through
Just sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue.
Just sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hopes are getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
No use old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hopes are getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
Don't go changing, trying to please me
You never let me down before
I don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I don't want to work that hard
I just want some someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from my heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
Instrumental
Hide your heart from sight,
Lock your dreams at night,
It could happen to you.
Don't count stars,
Or you might stumble.
Someone drops a sigh,
And down you'll tumble.
Keep an eye on spring,
Run when church bells ring.
It could happen to you.
All I did was wonder how your arms would be,
And it happened to me.
Hide your heart from sight,

All I did was wonder how your arms could be,
And it happened, and it happened,
And it happened to me.
I'll never be the same
Guys have lost their meaning for me
I'll never be the same
Nothin's what it once used to be
And when the song birds that sing
Tell me it's spring
I can't believe their song
Once love was king
But kings can be wrong
I'll never be the same
There is such an ache in my heart
I'll never be the same
Since we're apart
But there's a lot that a smile can hide
And I know down deep inside
I'll never be the same
Never be the same again
Remember back
To the days
When every hour
Was spent a different way
Whatever comes next
There's no way to know
I'll make it up as I go
Through the years
Back and forth
Of wearing every night before
I never was one
For taking it slow
I'll make it up as I go
Don't count me out
Because I know I can
Take all that's broken
And put it back together again
There just isn't a plan
There's just no way to know
For once in my life
I'm setting my sights
To make it up as I go
And put it back together again
There just isn't a plan
There's just no way to know
For once in my life
I'm setting my sights
To make it up as I go
Whatever comes next
There's no way to know
I'll make it up as I go
As I go
I'll make it up as I go
How much do I love you?
I’ll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times in a day
Do I think of you?
How many roses are
Sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
Just to be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?
And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a girl could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And how can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And how can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
Love makes me treat you
The way that I do
Gee baby, ain't I good to you
There's nothing in this whole world too good
For a boy so sweet and true
Gee, baby ain't I good to you
Bought you a fur coat for Christmas
Diamond ring
Big Cadillac car and everything
What makes me treat you
The way that I do
Fly me to the moon
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 life with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fly me to the moon
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 life with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
In other words, in other words
In other words
I love ... you
Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime 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 you to go.
When you're near, there's such an air 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,
Everytime we say goodbye.

Easy Come, easy go
That's the way
If love must have its day
Then easy come
Let it go
No remorse
No regret
We should part
Exactly as we met
Just easy come
Easy go
We never dreamt of romantic dangers
But now that it ends
Let's be friends
And not two strangers
Easy come, easy go
Here we are
So darling au revoir
It's easy come easy go
East of the sun and west of the moon
We'll build a dream house of love dear
Close to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Sharing our love in the pale moonlight
Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die; we'll keep it that way
Up among the stars we'll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon dear
East of the sun and west of the moon
Missed the saturday dance
heard they crowed the floor
couldnt bear it without you dont get around much anymore.
Thought id visit the club got as far as the door, couldnt bear it with out you dont get around much anymore.
(chorus) Well darling i guess my minds more at ease but never the less why stir up memories.
been invited on dates thought id go but what for awfully different without you dont get around much anymore.
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what is said
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dreams?
It's over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
That doesn't mean that I've been untrue
Though we're apart these words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
So kiss me cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
Ohh, do it again
I may say no, no, no but do it again
My lips just ache to have you take the kiss that's waiting for you
You know if you do, you won't regret it, come and get it
Ohh, no one is near
I may cry oh, oh, oh but no one can hear
Mama may scold me cause she told me it was naughty
But then, please do it again, just do it again
Come and get it, ohh
Turn out the light and hold me close
Close in your arms all through the night
Mama may scold me cause she told me it was naughty

They're writing songs of love
But not for me
Lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of grey
than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall, get that way
Heigh-ho! Alas! Also, lack-a-day!
When every happy plot
Turns into a marriage knot
I guess he's not for me
Instrumental
Instrumental
I give him all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love him too
And I love him
He gives my everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
He brings to me
And I love him
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
will never die
And I love him
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in a sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you 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
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 far behind you
And in your dreams
Whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Dear,
I thought I'd drop a line.
The weather's cool.
The folks are fine.
I'm in bed each night at nine.
P.S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain,
but all in all,
I can't complain.
Was it dusty on the train?
P.S. I love you.
Write to the Browns
just as soon as you are able.
They came around to call.
I burned a hole in the dining room table.
Let me see, I think that's all.
Nothing more for me to say.
And so I'll close,
but by the way,
everybody is thinking of you.
P.S. I love you.
Well alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
Well alright, okay, you win
Baby, what can I do
I'll do anything you say
It's just got to be that way
Well alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
Well alright, okay, you win
Baby, what can I do
Anything you say I'll do
As long as it's me and you
All that I am asking
All I want from you
Just love me like I love you
And it won't be hard to do
Well alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
Well alright, okay, you win
Baby, what can I do
I'll do anything you say
It's just got to be that way
All that I am asking
All I want from you
Just love me like I love you
And it won't be hard to do
Well alright, okay, you win
I'm in love with you
Well alright, okay, you win
Baby, one thing more
If you're gonna be my man
Sweet baby take me by the hand
I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the one thing I've got plenty of, baby
I dreaming awhile, scheming a while you're sure to find
Happiness and I guess all those things you always pine for
Gee it's nice to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth's doesn't sell, baby
Till the lucky day you know darn well,well baby
I know a little bit
About a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you
Just when I think you're mine
You try a different line and
Baby, what can I do?
I read the latest news
No buttons on my shoes
Baby, I'm confused about you
You've got me in a spin and
What a spin I'm in
Cause I don't know enough about you
Jack-of-all-trades, master of none
And isn't it a shame
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
If you'd only play my game
You know I went to school and
I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you
You've got me in a spin and
What a spin I'm in
Cause I don't know enough about you
I know a bit about biology
A little more about psychology
I'm a little gem in geology
How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?
How many times in a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel just to be where you are?
How far is the journey from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?
How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?
How many times in a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel just to be where you are?
How far is the journey from here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand
Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Time and time waits for no man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand
Standing on a corner
All full of jive
But you know that you're my boy
So I'm forced to give you five
Shadde yadda
Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Going downtown to see a man
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
Our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
Our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
And when the twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When I want rain I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue as the sky
Since love is gone, can't pull myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Friends ask me out, I tell them I'm busy
I must get a new alibi, I stay at home
And ask myself where is he?
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little teardrops hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories, my little memories
Remind him pf our crazy schemes
Somebody said just forget about him
So I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough I got along without him
Then one day he passed me right by
Oh well, I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
We both are lost
And alone in the world
Walk with me
In the gentle rain
Don't be afraid, I've a hand
For your hand and I
Will be your love for a while
I feel your tears as they fall
On my cheek
They are warm like gentle rain
Come little one you have me in the
World and our love will be sweet
Very sweet
Our love will
Be sweet very sad
Very sweet like gentle rain
Like the gentle rain
I don't want french fried potatoes, red ripe tomatoes
I'm never satisfied
I want the frim fram sauce
With oss-en-fay with sha fafa 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 oss-en-fay with sha fafa on the side
Well you know a girl
She really got to eat
And a girl she should eat right
Five will get you ten
I'm going to feed myself right tonight
I don't want fish cakes and rye bread
You heard what I said
Waiter please, I want mine fried
I want the frim fram sauce
Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high
You and I, shiny and new
Cottage that two can fill
And we'll be pleased to be called
The folks who live on the hill
Someday we may be adding a wing or two
A thing or two
We will make changes, as any family will
But we will always be called
The folks who live on the hill
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen
And when our kids grow up and leave us
We sit and look at that same old view
Just we two
Darby and Joan who used to be Jack and Jill
The folks who like to be called
What they have always been called
East of the sun and west of the moon
We'll build a dream house of love dear
Close to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Sharing our love in the pale moonlight
Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die; we'll keep it that way
Up among the stars we'll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon dear
No cares for me
I'm happy as I can be
I learn to love and to live
Devil may care
No cares and woes
Whatever comes later goes
That's how I'll take and I'll give
Devil may care
When the day is through, I suffer no regrets
I know that he who frets, loses the night
For only a fool, thinks he can hold back the dawn
He was wise to never tries to revise what's past and gone
Live love today, love come tomorrow or May
Don't even stop for a sigh, it doesn't help if you cry
That's how I live and I'll die
T'was just a garden in the rain
Close to a little leafy lane
A touch of color 'neath skies of gray
The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you
They seemed to say
Surely here was charm beyond
Compare to view
Maybe it was just that
I was there with you
T'was just a garden in the rain
But then the sun came out again
Este seu olhar quando encontra o meu
Fala de umas coisas
Que eu não posso acreditar
Doce é sonhar, é pensar que você
Gosta de mim como eu de você
Mas a ilusão quando se desfaz
Dói no coração de quem sonhou
Sonhou demais, ah! se eu pudesse entender
O que dizem os seus olhos
(piano solo)
Mas a ilusão quando se desfaz
Dói no coração de quem sonhou
Sonhou demais, ah! se eu pudesse entender
I'm in Dreamsville, holding you
A dreamy view, just we two alone
If love in Dreamsville, time is new
We're here to love and we do
We can see the rest of the world
Below us from our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away and here we love
Here we stay
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville
Far away and here we love
All or nothing at all
Half a love never appealed to me
If your heart never could yield to me
Then I'd rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all
If it's love there ain't no in-between
Why begin and cry for something that might have been
No I'd rather have nothing at all
Please don't put your lips so close to my cheek
Don't smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may grow dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be caught in the undertow
So you see I've got to say no
AUTUMN LEAVES
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer,
Music by Joseph Kosma
Song by Diana Krall
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 NOW I miss you most of all my darling
Never knew the softness of his tender kiss
Don't know if he's weak or strong
All I know is that he's every dream I dream
All night long
Never heard him say a single word of love
Don't know his fate or his soul
Cause he only speaks to me in dreams I've dreamed
All night long
When I sleep he tells me he's in love with me
And how much he needs me to be near
But at best my dreams is just a fantasy
If I touch his hand he'll disappear
I don't want a love that's just a memory
Fate how could you be so warm
Now I've got to find the man who's haunting me
Each time I see a crowd of people
Just like a fool I stop and stare
It's really not the proper thing to do
But maybe you'll be there
I go out walking after midnight
Along the lonely thoroughfare
It's not the time or place
To look for you
But maybe you'll be there
You said your arms would always hold me
You said you lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How can it end like this
Someday if all my prayers are answered
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart
I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll
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
The weather is fright'ning
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
And everything's O.K.
Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain
Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke and oh!
What a break for me
I can see the sun up high
Tho' we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
As long as I can be with you it's a lovely day
Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain
Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke and oh!
What a break for me
I can see the sun up high
Tho' we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
As long as I can be with you
As long as I can be with you
As long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day
I was doing all right
Nothing but rainbows in my sky
I was doing all right
Until you came by.
Had no cause to complain
Life was as sweet as cherry pie
Never minded the rain
Until you came by.
Now whenever you're away
Can't sleep nights and suffer all the day
I just sit and wonder
If love isn't one big blunder.
But when you hold me tight
Tingling all through, I feel somehow
I was doing all right
But I'm doing much better now.
How insensitive
I must have seemed
When he told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When he told me so sincerely
Why he must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say?
What can you say
When a love affair is over?
Now he's gone away
And I'm alone
With a memory of his last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All the heartbreak in his last look
How he must have asked,
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say?
What can you say
When a love affair is over?
From this moment on you for me dear
Only two for tea dear from this moment on
From this happy day no more blue songs
Only hoopty-do songs from this moment on
For you got the love I need so much
Got the skin that I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me good night
Oh oh, from this moment on, you and I babe
We'll be riding high babe
Every care is gone
From this moment on
For you got the love I need so much
Got the skin that I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me good night
Oh oh, from this moment on, you and I babe
We'll be riding high babe
Every care is gone
From this moment on
I know why I've waited
Know why I've been blue
I pray each night for someone
Exactly like you
Why should we spend some money
On a show or two
No one plays those love themes
Exactly like you
You make me feel so grand
I wanna give the world to you
You make me understand
Every foolish little dream I'm dreaming
Every scheme I'm scheming
I know why my mother
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
Exactly like you
I know why I've waited
Know why I've been blue
I pray each night for someone
Exactly like you
Why should we spend some money
On a show or two
No one plays those love themes
Exactly like you
You make me feel so grand
I wanna give the world to you
You make me understand
Every foolish little dream I'm dreaming
Every scheme I'm scheming
I know why my mother
Taught me to be true
She meant me for someone
My baby, exactly like you
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
When we finally kiss good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
I'll be home for Christmas;
You can play on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love-light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas
When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessing instead of sheep
And I fall asleep, counting my blessings
When my bankroll is gettin' small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep, counting my blessings
I think about a nursery
And I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them
As they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings.
So if you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
There's a crow flying
Dark and ragged
Tree to tree
He's black as the highway that's leading me
Now he's diving down
To pick up on something shiny
I feel like that black crow
Flying
In a blue sky
I took a ferry to the highway
Then I drove to a pontoon plane
I took a plane to a taxi
And a taxi to a train
I've been traveling so long
How am I ever going to know my home
When I see it again
I'm like a black crow flying
In a blue, blue sky
In search of love and music
My whole life has been
Illumination
Corruption
Diving, diving, diving, diving.
Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing
Just like that black crow flying
In a blue sky
I looked at the morning
After being up all night
I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light
I looked out the window
And I saw that ragged soul take flight
I saw a back crow flying
In a blue sky
Oh I'm like a black crow flying
Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a boy here and he's almost you
Almost all the things that your eyes once promised
I see in his too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true...always
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
Almost me
Almost you
The glitter on a paint and plaster face
Is covering desire and disgrace
We could be lovers
But no one suspects at all
Once you're inside that costume ball
And now I'm sitting here before the mirror
I have the skill still to disguise my tears
Then as the magic starts to fade
I find myself abandoning the masquerade
Even though you're suffering
You try to hide it
And pretend you're so nonchalant
You can cry a pool of tears
And sit beside it
Then perhaps you'll know what you want
I hope you never feel this much despair
Or know the meaning of that empty chair
As the illusions that we made all fall away
Russet brandy in a diamond glass
Everything is made from dreams
Time is made from honey slow and sweet
Only the fools know what it means
Temptation, temptation, temptation
I can't resist
Well I know that he is made of smoke
But I've lost my way
He knows that I am broke
But I must pay
Temptation, oh temptation, temptation,
I can't resist
Dutch pink and Italian blue
He is there waiting for you
My will has disappeared
Now confusion is so clear
Temptation, temptation, temptation
I can't resist
Temptation, temptation, temptation
Someone to hold me tight
That would be very nice
Someone to love me right
That would be very nice
Someone to understand
Each little dream in me
Someone to take my hand
And be a team with me
So nice, life would be so nice
If one day I'd find
Someone who would take my hand
And samba through life with me
Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me
Oh yes, that would be so nice, nice
Shouldn't we, you and me?
I could see it would be nice
Someone to cling to me
Stay with me right or wrong
Someone to sing to me
Some little samba song
Someone to take my heart
And give his heart to me
Someone who's ready to
Give love a start with me
Oh yes, life would be so nice, nice
Shouldn't we, you and me?
I can see it would be nice
Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
Ring ting tingle-ing too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "You Hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap
let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two
Birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap
let's go
Let's look at the snow
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand
Just holding your hand
We're gliding along with the song
Of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy
And comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together like two
Birds of a feather would be
Let's take the road before us
And sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
Sleigh ride together with you
I just came back from a lovely trip
Along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole
To spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see.
He took me to his workshop
And told his plan to me
You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He's making a list,
And checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Quiet nights of quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window looking on the mountains and the sea, how lovely
This is where I want to be, here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you
The meaning of existence, oh, my love
This is where I want to be, here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you
The meaning of existence, oh, my love
I have a feeling, it's a feeling,
I'm concealing, I don't know why
It's just a mental, sentimental alibi
But I adore you
So strong for you
Why go on stalling
I am falling
Our love is calling
Why be shy?
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 an end for each other
To be or not 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 and end for each other
To be or not 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
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay
two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Hey, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
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've grown accustomed to his face
He almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
He whistles night and noon
His smiles, his frowns, his ups, his downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content before we met
Surely I could always be that way again and yet
I've grown accustomed to his looks, accustomed to his voice
Accustomed to his face
I've grown accustomed to his face
He almost makes the day begin
I've gotten used to hear him say
Good morning everyday
His joys, his woes, his highs, his lows
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out, breathing in
I'm very glad he's a man and so easy to forget
Rather like a habit one can always break and yet
I've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the air
Accustomed to his face
I've got you under my skin
I have got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me
And I've got you under my skin
I have tried so, not to give in
I've said to myself this affair, it never would go so well
But why should I try to resist when I know so well
That I've got you under my skin?
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night and repeats in my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
For each time I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
Because I've got you under my skin
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice, that comes in the night and repeats to my ear
Don't you know you fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin
Those happy hours I spent with you
That lovely afterglow
Most of all, I miss you so
Your sweet caresses, each rendezvous
You voice so soft and low
Most of all, I miss you so
You once filled my heart with
No regrets, no fears
Now you'll find my heart
Filled to the top with tears
I'll always love you and ant you, too
How much you'll never know
I love the East, I love the West
North and South, their both the best
But I only want go there as a guest
Cause I love being here with you
I love the sea, I love the shore
I love the rocks and what is more
You and they never be a bore
Cause I love being here with you
Singing in the shower
Laughing by the hour
Life is such a breezy game
I love all kinds of weather
As log as we're together
Oh I love to hear you say my name
I love good wine, fine cuisine
Candle light I love the scene
Cause baby if you know just what I mean
Do I want you?
Oh my do I
Honey, indeed I do
Do I need you?
Oh my do I
Honey, deed I do
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you
That's why I'm always hanging around you
Do I love you?
Oh my do I
Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and we're gone
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
What - though love is old
What - though song is old
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Wailin' all the time
Dear one, tell me that we're one
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember, all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry
Wonderin' what in the world did I do
Crazy for thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for cryin'
And I'm crazy for loving you
Worry, why do I let myself worry
Wonderin' what in the world did I do
Crazy for thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for tryin' and crazy for cryin'
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all
That children call
Their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times
And ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families growing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Families growing near
Oh that we could always see

You know I live a charmed, charmed life
I look out to my left and I look to my right
It's simple but in front of me, in back of me
Is nothing more than ecstasy
A charmed, charmed life
You know we live a charmed, charmed life
A little breath of magic and we roll the dice
And now, my darling, I'm for you and you're for me
We are each other's luxury
A charmed, charmed life
040Come on over, baby
Kiss me once then twice
Whisper to me soft and low, that makes me feel so nice
Come on over darling, and take me to that place
The one that puts a smile upon my face
That says we live a charmed, charmed life
Just take a little look into each other's eyes
Our biggest little fantasy has turned into reality
You know we live a charmed, charmed life
Come on over, baby
Kiss me once, then twice
Whisper to me soft and low, that makes me feel so nice
Come on over darling, and take me to that place
The one that puts a smile upon my face
That says we lead a charmed, charmed life
I look out to my left and I look to my right
It's simple but in front of me, in back of me
Sha do ya do ya de
Is nothing more than ecstasy
A charmed, charmed life
You know we live a charmed, charmed life
Besame, besame mucho,
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez,
Besame, besame mucho,
Que tengo miedo a perderte, perderte despues
Quiero sentirte muy cerca mirarme en tus ojos verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez mañana yo ya estare lejos, muy lejos de ti
Besame...
Quiero...
Besame...
Kiss me, kiss me a lot,
As if tonight were the last time
Kiss me, kiss me a lot,
For I'm scared to lose you, to lose you afterwards
I want to feel you very close, see myself in your eyes, see you near me
I can't forget the night I met you
That's all I'm dreaming of
And now you call it madness
But I call it love
You made a promise, to be faithful
By all the stars up above
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, so I am pleading
Please come back to me
You made a plaything out of romance
And what were you thinking of
For now you call it madness
I love you oh so madly
I need your love so badly
But I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I had found you
But other arms surround you
And I don't stand a
Ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender just for
A tender kiss or two
You might discover that
I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true
So what's the good of all my scheming?
I know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand a
'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
You should care for me!
'S awful nice! 'S paradise!
'S what I love to see!
You've made my life so glamorous
You can't blame me for feeling amorous
Oh! 'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!
'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!
'S awful nice! 'S paradise!
'S what I love to see!
My dear, it's four-leaf clover time
From now on my heart's working overtime
Oh! 'S wonderful! 'S marvelous!
You're my thrill, you do something to me
You send chills right through me when I look at you
'Cause you're my thrill
You're my thrill, how my pulse increases
I just go to pieces when I look at you
'Cause you're my thrill
Nothing seems to matter
Here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will? Why this strange desire?
That keeps mounting higher
When I look at you I can't keep still
You're my thrill, you know you are my thrill
Nothing seems to matter
Here's my heart on a silver platter
Where's my will? Why this strange desire?
That keeps mounting higher
When I look at you I can't keep still
You're my thrill, you know you are my thrill
Who had the boys turning hand springs?
Crazy to lov her claimed she
Who could so misunderstand things?
You're looking at me
Who was so sure of her conquest?
Sure as a human could be
Who wound up losing the contest?
You're looking at me
You're looking at me
Where is that girl?
Who was certain her charms couldn't fail
Where is that girl?
Believed every word of this ridiculous tale
Who was so childishly flattered?
Thought she'd swept him off his feet
Who woke to find her dreams shattered?
Might I repeat
Might I repeat for you
Needn't strain your eyes
To see what I want you to see
That's right
Every kiss, every hug seems to
Act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms,
I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love
Was something
That I could take or leave alone
But now I just can't do without
Me supply, I need you for my own
No I can't break away
I must have you every day
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches
And I can't break free
You're getting to be a habit
With me-can't break it
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kid is knocking him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Canadian way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
There's a sound in the wind, blowing down the road I've been
I can hear it cry while shadows steal the Sun
But I can not look back now, come too far to turn around
And there's still a race ahead, I must run
I'm only half way home
I got a journey on, where I'll find the things I have lost
I've come a long, long road
Still I've got miles to go
I've got a wide, wide river to cross
I have stumbled, I have strayed
You can trace the tracks I've made
All across the memories, why aren't we gone
But I'm just a refugee, won't you sing a ṗrayer for me
Cause sometimes even the strongest soldiers falls
I'm only half way home
I got a journey on, where I'll find the things I have lost
I've come a long, long road
Still I've got miles to go
I've got a wide, wide river to cross
I've got a wide, wide river to cross
Was there something more I could have done?
Or was I not meant to be the one?
Where's the life I thought we would share?
And should I care?
And will someone else get more of you?
Will she go to sleep more sure of you?
Will she wake up knowing you're still there?
And why should I care?
There's always one to turn and walk away
And one who just wants to stay
But who said that love is always fair?
And why should I care?
Should I leave you alone here in the dark?
Holding my broken heart
While a promise still hangs in the air
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
When I look in your eyes, I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes
I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes
When I look in your eyes
And it is no surprise, to see the softness of the moon in your eyes
The gentle sparkle of the stars in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
In your eyes, I see the deepness of the sea
I see the deepness of the love
The love I feel you feel for me
Autumn comes, summer dies
I see the passing of the years in your eyes
And when we part there will be no tears no goodbyes
I'll just look into your eyes
Those eyes, so wise
So warm, so real
When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing.
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?
Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ooh, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's
New Year's eve?
Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year
New Year's eve
Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of a thousand invitations
You received
Ooh, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance:
What are you doing New Year's
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry, walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye, walk on by
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry, walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride is all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye, walk on by, walk on by
There was a moon out in space
But a cloud drifted over its face
You kissed me and went on your way
The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres
Like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray
The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song
No bluer was he than I
The moon went down stars were gone
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say
The look of love is in your eyes
The look, your smile can't disguise
The look of love, it's saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
You've got the look of love, is on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you, don't ever go, don't ever go
I love you so
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited, waited just to love you
Now that I have found you, don't ever go, don't ever go
The girl in the other room
She knows by now
There's something in all of her fears
Now she wears this thread bare
She sits on the floor
The glass pressed tight to the wall
She hears murmurs low
The paper is peeling
Her eyes staring straight at the ceiling
Maybe they're there
Or maybe it's nothing at all
As she draws lipstick smears on the wall
The girl in the other room
She powders her face
And stares hard into her reflection
The girl in the other room
She stifles a yawn
Adjusting the strap of her gown
She tosses her tresses
Her lover undresses
Turning the last lamp light down
What's that voice we're hearing
We should be sleeping
Could that be someone who's weeping
Maybe she's there
Maybe there's nothing to see
Just a trace of what used to be
The girl in the other room
She darkens her lash and blushes
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes, each girl he passes goes, ah
When he walks he's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes each girl, he passes goes, ah
Oh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, and tan, and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes I smile but he doesn't see
No, he doesn't see, he doesn't see me
Oh, but I watch him so sadly
How can I tell him I love him?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, and tan, and young and handsome
The boy from Ipanema goes walking
And when he passes I smile but he doesn't see
He just doesn't see, he just doesn't see
Buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air
Monkey thought that everything on the square
Buzzard tried to throw the monkey off of his back
But the monkey turned around and said, "Hey listen Jack!"
Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down bubba don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in jiving
What's the use of diving
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down bubba don't you blow your top
Well the buzzard told the monkey you are choking me
Release your hold and I will set you free
Monkey looked the buzzard dead in the eye and said
"Your story is so touching, but it sounds just like a lie!"
So straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Stop this world, let me off
There's just too many pigs in the same trough
There's too many buzzards sitting on the fence
Stop this world, it's not making sense
Stop this show, hold the phone
Better days this girl has known
Better days so long ago
Hold the phone, won't you stop the show
Well, it seems my little playhouse has fallen down
I think my little ship has run aground
I feel like I'm in the wrong place
My state of mind is a disgrace
Won't you stop this game, deal me out I know too well what it's all about
I know too well that it had to be
Stop this game well it's ruining me
Well I got too smart for my own good
I just don't do the things I know I should
There's bound to be some better way
I just got one thing more to say
And that is
Stop this game, deal me out I know too well what it's all about
I know too well that it had to be
When God gave out rhythm
Sure was good to you
You can add, subtract, multiply and divide by two
I know today's your birthday and I did not buy no rose
But I wrote this song and instead I call it, Popsicle toes
Popsicle toes
Popsicle toes are always froze
Popsicle toes
You're so brave to expose all those Popsicle toes
You must have been Mr. Olympian
With all that amplitude
How come you always load your Pentax when I am in the nude
We are to have a birthday party and you can wear your birthday cloths
Then we can hit the floor and go explore those Popsicle toes
You've got the nicest north of America
This sailor ever saw
I like to feel your warm Brazil and touch your Panama
But Tierra del Fuegos are nearly always froze
Nothings impossible I have found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up, dust myself off, 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 till the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired but you'll be a man my son
Don't you remember the famous man who had to fall to rise again?
Peel me a grape, crush me some ice
Skin me a peach, save the fuzz for my pillow
Start me a smoke, talk to me nice
You got to wine me and dine me
Don't try and train me, chow mein me
Best way to serve me, hors d'oeuvre me
I'm getting hungry, peel me a grape
Pop me a cork, French me a fry
Crack me a nut, bring a bowl fulla bon-bons
Chill me some wine, keep standing by
Just entertain me, champagne me
Best way to cheer me, cashmere me
Best way to smell me, Chanel me
I'm getting hungry, peel me a grape
Here's how to be an agreeable chap
Love me and leave me in luxury's lap
Hop when I holler, skip when I snap
When I say 'do it,' jump to it
Send out for Scotch, call me a cab
Cut me a rose, make my tea with the petals
Just hang around, pick up the tab
Never outthink me, just mink me
Polar bear rug me, don't bug me
New Thunderbird me, you heard me
Narrow daylight entered my room
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over
Summer is near
Are we stronger than we believe?
I walked through halls of reputation
Among the infamous too
As the camera clings to the common thread
Beyond all vanity
Into a gaze to shoot you through
Is the kindness we count upon
Hidden in everyone?
I stepped out in a sunlit grove
Although deep down I wished it would rain
Washing away all the sadness and tears
That will never fall so heavily again
Is the kindness we count upon
Is hidden in everyone
I stood there in the salt spray air
Felt wind sweeping over my face
I ran up through the rocks to the old
Wooden cross
It's a place where I can find some peace
Narrow daylight entered my room
Shining hours were brief
Winter is over
Summer is near
My love, my love is a mountainside so firm-
So firm it can calm the tide
My love for you is a mountainside
It stands so firm it can calm the tide
That's why my love, my love is
A mountainside
My love, my love is an ocean's roar
So strong, so strong that I can't let you go
My love for you is an ocean's roar
It's grown so strong that I can't let you go
That's why my love, my love is
An ocean's roar
My love is longer than forever
And endless as the march of time
'Till ninety-nine years after never
In my heart you'll still be mine
Because my love
My love is a deep blue sea
So deep, so deep that I'll never be free
My love for you is a deep blue sea
It's grown so strong that I'll never be free
That's why my love, my love is
The men that I've been seeing
Tthey got their soul up on a shelf
You know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves
And I want someone to love me
Someone who really understands
Who won't put himself above me
Who just love me like a man
I never seen such losers darling
Even though I tried
To find a man who can take me home instead of
Taking me for a ride
And I need someone to love me
Darling I know you can't
Don't you put yourself above me
You just love me like a man
They all want me to rock them
Like my back ain't got no bone
I want a man to rock me
Like my backbone was his own
Darling I know you can't
Believe it when I tell you
You can love me like a man
Came home sad and lonely
I feel like I wanna cry
Want a man to hold me
Not some fool who ask me why
And I need someone to love me
Baby you can't
Don't you put yourself above me
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
I memorize every line
I kiss the name that you sign
And darling, then I read again
Right from the start
If you could be so kind
To help me find my mind
I'd like to thank you in advance
Know this before you start
My soul's been torn apart
I lost my mind in a wild romance
My future is my past
Its memory will last
I'll live to love the days gone by
Each day this becomes and goes like the one before
My mine is lost until the day I die
Words would fail me if I tried to describe him
Though I know he's not what he should have been
He was the Devil with face of angel
He was cruel and sweet, sweet and cruel as homemade sin
If you could be so kind
To help me find my mind
I'd like to thank you in advance
Know this before you start
My soul's been torn apart
There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight and love and romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill and while we still have the chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon we'll be without the moon, humming a different tune and then
There may be teardrops to shed
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance
I got a guy who's always late
Every time we have a date
But I love him
Yes I love him
I am going to walk right up to his gate
To see if I can get it straight
Cause I want him
Oh yes I'm gonna ask him
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way your acting lately makes me doubt
You have always been my baby, baby
Seems the flame in your heart has gone out
Well a fellow is a creature
Who has always been strange
Just when you think you're his
He's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Has my baby found somebody new
I've got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world what a life
Ooh I am in love
I've got this song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me can't you see
I am in love
Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I've got a hold of that string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let go
I got the world on a string
Sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
Lucky me can't you see
An invitation came my way
Knowing it's dangerous to follow
That girl in her Sunday suit
Would have forbidden it
But since those days
I've changed my address
I sit alone and drink it in
Practicing blowing up smoke rings
I learned of the sadness
The beauty and bitterness
But since those days
I've changed everything
And sometimes they would light it up
I ran my hands down silent keys
For secrets like these
And ever since
They turn up on my fingerprints
I'm driving back across the bridge
Red light is hitting the rear view
And he'll wonder whether
Blonde hair cascades on black leather
Since then I've changed my address
Accessory after the fact
I walked back in where I started
The bar plays the sports news
To drown out the old ghosts that I knew
Oh well, I've changed my address
And as I departed
I only took what I needed
I'm thru with love
I'll never fall again
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again
For I must have you or no one
That's why I'm thru with love
I've locked my heart
I keep my feelings there
I have stocked my heart
Like an icy Frigadere
For I need to care for no one
That's why I'm thru with love
Why did you lead me
To think that you cared
You didn't need me
For you have your share
Of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
Their deep devotion
Emotion
By the spring
And all it meant to me
It could never be
The things that used to be
For I must have you or no one
I'm pulling through and it's because of you
When I was stranded came your helping hand
Lonely, hurt I had not known which way to turn
'Til you said, "Try smiles, not tears, just laugh and learn"
I'm pulling trough and it's because of you
You made me see how lovely life could be
Lifted up my heart and made me count the cost
To find I'd gained, not lost
When I thought that hope was really gone
You showed me I was wrong
And you taught me how to carry on
Thanks for the lift in time and thanks for your song
I'm pulling trough and it's because of you
I'd do the same for you if your turn came
Hope it never will
For I've been though the mill
I won't get this debt
I'm pulling trough
When I thought that hope was really gone
You showed me I was wrong
And you taught me how to carry on
Thanks for the lift in time and thanks for your song
I'm pulling trough and it's because of you
I'd do the same for you if your turn came
Hope it never will
For I've been though the mill
I won't get this debt
When I walk down the street
Seems everyone I meet
Gives me a friendly hello
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
The birds in every tree
All sing so merrily
They sing wherever I go
I guess I'm just a lucky so and so
Well if you should ask me the amount in my bank account
I must confess that I'm slipping
But that don't bother me, cause confidentially
I've got a dream that's pippin
And when my day is through
Each night I hurry to
A love that's faithful I know
I looked down at a sparkling band
And only saw my Mother's hand
The things I've earned
They never came too cheap
But then the likeness only goes so deep
As clouds approach the facing shore
And although two pairs of shoes sit by the door
I can't pretend I don't descend
I know I should be joyful now
But time means nothing
Only the love you gave to me can save me
I think she knew
I raise my voice
And shake the walls
But if I chance to cry at all
I hope you hear me now
I'm coming through
I looked down at a twist of lace
And only saw my Father's face
The things we shared
Have hurt us both so much sometimes
Here's something that I'd like to bring to you
Wrapped all in cellophane, designed for you
Tell you what it's all about
It is without a doubt
Swing in the latest style
Service with a smile
If you want to swing and shout
Get your heels and get about
I'm an errand girl for rhythm, send me
Just get hip and follow through
I'll deliver straight to you
I'm an errand girl for rhythm, send me
You can always find me down at Smokey Joe's
That's where all the hip and groovy people go
If you want variety, take a tip and call for me
I'm an errand girl for rhythm, send me
You can always find me down at Smokey Joe's
That's where all the smart and swinging people go
If you want variety, take a tip and call on me
I'm an errand girl for rhythm
You may not be an angel
Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
I looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I'll sing my song to you
For every little fault that you have
Say I've got three or four
The human little faults you do have
Just make me love you more
You may not be an angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until the day that one comes along
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course, I do
But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
Or someone's laugh that is the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should
What a guy, what a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store? Should I phone once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
The fading scent of summertime
Arbutus trees and firs
The glistening of rain-soaked moss
Going to the dairy queen at dusk
Down narrow roads
In autumn light
The salt air and the sawmills
And the bars are full of songs and tears
To the passing of the tugboats
And people with their big ideas
I just get home and then I leave again
It's long ago and far away
Now we're skimming stones and
Exchanging rings
And scattering and sailing from departure bay
The house was bare of Christmas lights
It came down hard that year
Outside in our overcoats
Drinking down to the bitter end
Trying to make things right
Like my mother did
Last year we were laughing
We sang in church so beautifully
Now her perfume's on the bathroom counter
And I'm sitting in the back pew crying
I just get home and then I leave again
It's long ago and far away
Now we're skimming stones and
Exchanging rings
And scattering and sailing from departure bay
A song plays on the gramophone
And thoughts turn back to life
We took the long way to get back
Like driving over the malahat
Now a seaplane drones and time has flown
I won't miss all the glamour
While my heart is beating and the lilacs bloom
But who knew when I started
That Id find a love and bring him home
Just get me there and one we will stay
A long time off and far away
Now we're skimming stones and
Exchanging rings
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 that you find here you borrow
You cannot keep it long it seems
But gigolo and gigalette
Still sing a song and dance along
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why
It's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending? it
Looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove
Dear, my life's a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
Once I had a man, sweet as he could be
Once I had a man and he was right for me
Kind of curly hair, eyes so soft and true
That you couldn't help but care
When he looked at you
He called me baby
Baby all the time
He said, "Baby can't you see?"
"Baby understand?"
"Baby you're for me"
"Oh won't you take my hand?"
But I push him away
Wouldn't let him near
Pushed him far away
And now I'm wishing I could hear him
Call me baby, baby all the time
It's so lonely through the day
Lonely through the night
Lonely, lonely hours without that
Man I held so tight
Lord I pray that you will listen to my plea
Keep him close to you so he'll come back to me
And call me baby, baby all the time
Baby I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Life isn't long enough baby
But I can love you as long as I live
Baby I can't buy diamonds and things
Like I want to
But I can promise you baby
I'm going to want you as long as I live
Well I never cared but now I'm scared
That I won't live long enough
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains
And eat an apple everyday and see the doctor anyway
What if I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Life isn't long enough baby
Just before our love got lost, you said
“I am as constant as a northern star”
And said, “Constantly in the darkness
Where’s that at? If you want me I’ll be in the bar”
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada, oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh! You’re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh! I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet, I’d still be on my feet
Oh! I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I’m frightened by the Devil
And I’m drawn to those who ain’t afraid
I remember the time you told me
“Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine
Part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh! You’re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh! I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you, darling
And still be on my feet, I’d still be on my feet
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
She knew your life, she knew your devils
And your deeds, she said
“Go ahead and stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed”
Oh! You’re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh! I could drink a case of you, darling
A blossom fell from off a tree
It settled softly on the lips you turn 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'd love me
You said you love me
We planned together
To dream forever
The dream has ended
For true love died
The day a blossom fell
Come and meet
Those dancing feet
On the avenue I'm taking you to
Forty-Second Street
Hear the beat
Of dancing feet
It's the song I love the melody of
Forty-Second Street
Little nifties from the fifties
Innocent and sweet
Sexy ladies from the eighties
Who are indiscreet
Side by side, they're glorified
Where the underworld
Can meet the elite
Forty-Second Street
Little nifties from the fifties
Innocent, sweet
Sexy ladies from the eighties
Who are indiscreet
Side by side, they're glorified
Where the underworld
Can meet the elite
Forty-Second Street
Forty-Second Street
Naughty, bawdy
Gaudy, sporty
Forty
