Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view,
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you.
Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine,
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine.
Bridge:
In the magic of moonlight,
When I sigh, "Hold me close, dear,"
Chances are you believe the stars
That fill the skies are in my eyes.
Guess you feel you'll always be
The one and only one for me
And, if you think you could,
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at the bridge.)
In the magic of moonlight,
When I sigh, "Hold me close, dear,"
Chances are you believe the stars
That fill the skies are in my eyes.
Guess you feel you'll always be
The one and only one for me
And, if you think you could,
You had plenty money, Nineteen-Twenty-Two
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' down 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 wanderin' now 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
(Orchestral Break)
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?
When you're alone
Who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone
The magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn
There is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours
The evening shadows bring
What lonely hours
With memories lingering
Like faded flowers
Life can't mean anything
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other 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
They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then, with disillusion deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you, somehow
I see you now
Smoking, drinking
Never thinking of tomorrow
Nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining
With some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
Chorus:
No, sophisticated lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
Is that all you really want?
When maramba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I grow weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I grow weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Take back your mink
Take back your pearls
What made you think
That I was one of those girls ?
Take back the gown
The gloves and the hat
I may be down
But I'm not flat as all that.
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged
Was a token of your esteem
Now when I think of what you want in exchange
It all seems a horrible dream.
Take back your mink
Those old worn out pelts
And go shorten the sleaves
For somebody else.
(interlude)
I thought that each expensive gift you'd arranged
Was a token of your esteem
Now when I think of what you want in exchange
It all seems a horrible dream.
So take back your mink.
To from whence it came
And tell them to alter and rise it
Strange, dear, but true, dear,
When I'm close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.
Even without you
My arms fold about you.
You know, darling why,
So in love with you am I.
In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there.
In love with my joy delirious
When I knew that you might care.
So taunt me and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours 'til I die,
So in love,
So in love,
So in love with you, my love, am I.
So taunt me and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I'm yours 'til I die,
So in love,
So in love,
Instead of making conversation,
Make love to me!
Make love to me, my darling,
While there is still a moon.
Must I extend an invitation?
Make love to me!
Make love to me, my darling,
Tonight will end so soon.
There are moments when my lips adore addressing you,
But tonight my lips are only for caressing you,
How about you?
Before the mood that I'm in changes,
Make love to me!
Make love to me, my darling,
I'm so in love with you!
Must I extend an invitation
To make love to me?
Make love to me, my darling,
Tonight will end so soon.
There are moments when my lips, my lips adore
addressing you,
But tonight my lips are only for caressing you,
But how about you?
Don't let the mood I'm in change,
Make love to me!
Make love to me, my darling,
Magic is the moonlight
on this lover's dream night
as I see the moonlight
shining in your eyes.
Can't resist their power
in this moon lit hour
love being any flower
this is paradise.
Living in the splendour
of your kiss so tender
makes my heart surrender
to your love divine.
Magic is the moonlight
more than any dream night
Magic is the moonlight
for it made you mine.
Living in the splendour
of your kiss so tender
makes my heart surrender
to your love divine.
Magic is the moonlight
more than any dream night
Magic is the moonlight
for it made you mine.
Magic is the moonlight
Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' to make whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
And think what a year can bring
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Another year or maybe less
Whats this I hear well can't you guess
He says he's busy and she says is he, he's makin
whoopee
He doesn't have much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
says you'll give six to her
Now he says judge suppose I fail
The judge says boy right into jail
He thinks he'll keep her I guess its cheaper than makin
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 own arora bora elis suddenly you held me
tight,
I could see the midnight sun.
I can't explain the silver rain that found me or was that
moonlit veil,
The music of the universe around me or was that a
nightingale,
And then your arms miraculously found me suddenly the sky
turned pail,
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 gonethere was still some stardust on
my sleeve.
The pain of it may dwindle to an ember and the stars
forget to shine,
And we may see the meadow in December, Icy white and
crystalline,
But oh my darlin always I'll remember when your lips were
close to mine,
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm.
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm.
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love to keep me warm.
(Instrumental)
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
I will weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love, I've got my love,
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you
The world will pardon my mush
Ill be seeing you;
In all the old, familiar places;
That this heart of mine embraces;
All day through.
In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The childrens carousel;
The chestnut tree;
The wishing well.
Ill be seeing you;
In every lovely, summers day;
And everything thats bright and gay;
Ill always think of you that way;
Ill find you in the morning sun;
And when the night is new;
Ill be looking at the moon;
I'd like you for christmas
Please make my wish come true
Cos I'd trim trees and deck the hallways
If I know you'd be mine for always
I won't be blue on christmas
If old Saint Nick comes through
And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart as I
A somebody who will swear to be true
As you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn
That mis'ry loves company, wait and see
I mean, I wanna be around to see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
I should care, I should go around weeping
I should care, I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough, I sleep well
'cept for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep
So I should care, I should let it upset me
I should care but it just doesn't get me
Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do
I should care but it just doesn't get me
Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do
Was it in Tahiti?
Were we on the Nile?
Long, long ago,
Say an hour or so
I recall that I saw your smile.
I remember you,
You're the one who made
My dreams come true
A few kisses ago.
I remember you,
You're the one who said
"I love you, too," I do.
Didn't you know?
I remember, too,
A distant bell,
And stars that fell like rain
Out of the blue.
When my life is through,
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
Then I shall tell them
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low down
I gotta right to hang around
Down around the river
A certain man in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor heart around
All I see for me is misery
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sit and cry
Down around the river
I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love, say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love, say what you choose
A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain
softly blows all above by the bay
it fills the sails of boats that are waiting
waiting to sail your worries away
It is soo far to Hushabye Mountain
and your void waits down by the key
the winter's night so softly are sightin'
soon thei're will fly your worries to sea
So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain
wait till fly to kiss on the day
And watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
sail far away from a lullaby bay
Watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
How did he look ? Did he look happy ?
While they were dancing did he whisper things in her ear
And did he light her cigarette, was he attentive ?
The way he used to be with me.
What was she like ? Was she attractive ?
Was there a smile upon his face or did he seem bored ?
Not that I really care, I know that our love affair can
never be
But how did he look, and did he ask about me ?
(Orchestral interlude)
What was she like ? Was she attractive ?
Was there a smile upon his face or did he seem bored ?
Not that I really care, I know that our love affair can
never be
Go slow, oooooh honey, take it easy on the curves;
When love is slow, oooooh honey, what a tonic for my
nerves.
Go slow, oooooh honey, we've got such a lot of time;
When love is slow, oooooh honey, how the mercury does
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 a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
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?
They call her
Hard-hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher
She's a gal who loves to see men suffer
To tease them and thrill them
To torture and kill them
Is her delight, they say
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was Hannah, pouring water on a drowning man
She's hard-hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, GA
Talk of your cold, refrigerating mamas
Brother, she's the polar bear's pajamas
To tease them and thrill them
To torture and kill them
Is her delight, they say
An evening spent with Hannah sitting on your knees
Is like traveling through Alaska in your BVD's
She's hard-hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, GA
She's hard-hearted Hannah
So you met someone who set you back on your heels
Goody, goody
You met someone and now you know how it feels
Goody, goody
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
You lie awake just singing the blues all night
Goody, goody
And you think that loves a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
Ya had it coming to ya
Goody, goody for him, goody, goody for me
I hope your satisfied you rascal you
So you met someone who set you back on your heels
Goody Goody
You met someone and now you know how it feels
Goody, goody
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
You lie awake just singing the blues all night
Goody, goody
And you think that loves a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
Ya had it coming to ya
Goody, goody for him, goody, goody for me
Gone with the wind, Gone like a leaf that has blown away.
Gone with the wind, my romance has flown away.
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all is gone, gone is the rapture that thrilled my
heart.
Gone with the wind, gone is the gladness that filled my
heart
Just like a flame, love burned brightly
Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone,
I'm feeln' mighty lonesome, havn't slept a wink,
I walk the floor and watch the door and in between I
drink black coffee.
Love's a hand-me-down broom.
I'll never know a Sunday, in this weekday room.
I'm talkin' to the shadows,
One o'clock to four,
And lord, how slow the moments go when all I do is pour
black coffee.
Since the blues caught my eye.
I'm hangin' out on Monday my Sunday dreams to dry.
Now a man is born to go a lovin',
A woman's born to weep and fret.
To stay at home and rend her oven,
And drown her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes!
I'm moonin' all the mornin' and mournin' all the night,
And in between it's nicotine and not much heart to fight
black coffee.
Feelin' low as the ground.
It's drivin' me crazy, this waitin' for my baby,
You'd be so easy to love
Easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep the home fire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together, that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
Gin a body meet a body
Comin' thro' the rye
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body cry?
Ilka lassie has her laddie
Nane, they say, hae I
Yet a' the lads they smile at me
When comin' thro' the rye.
Gin a body meet a body
Comin' frae the town
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body frown?
Ilka lassie has her laddie
Nane, they say, hae I
Yet a' the lads they smile at me
When comin' thro' the rye.
'Mang the train there is a swain
I dearly lo'e myself
But what his name or whaur his hame
I dinna care to tell
Ilka lassie has her laddie
Nane, they say, hae I
Yet a' the lads they smile at me
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While that breeze on night sings a lullaby
You'd be all my heart could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon shining above
You'd be so nice you'd be paradise
You go to my head
And you linger
Like a haunting refrain
And I find you
Spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles
In a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might
Give a thought to my plea
Casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself
"Get a hold of yourself"
"Can't you see that it never can be?"
You go to my head
With a smile
That makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain
That this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance
In this crazy romance
You go to my head
(ELLA FITZGERALD)
You Do Something to Me
I was mighty blue
Thought my life was through
'til the heavens opened
And I gazed at you
Won't you tell me, dear
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me
And the strangest feeling goes through me?
You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
Louie, Louie,
me gotta go.
Louie, Louie,
me gotta go.
A fine little girl, she wait for me;
me catch a ship across the sea.
I sailed the ship all alone;
I never think I'll make it home
Three nights and days we sailed the sea;
me think of girl constantly.
On the ship, I dream she there;
I smell the rose in her hair.
Me see Jamaica moon above;
It won't be long me see me love.
Me take her in my arms and then
Laura is the face in the misty light,
footsteps that you hear down the hall.
The laugh that floats on a summer night
that you can never quite recall
And you see Laura on the train that is passing thru.
Those eyes, how familiar they seem.
She gave your very first kiss to you.
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
I got love in my tummy,
And I feel like a-lovin you:
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And that's just a-what I'm gonna do.
Ooh love, to hold ya,
Ooh love, to kiss ya,
Ooh love, I love it so.
Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
Ooh love, I wont let you go.
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
I got love in my tummy,
And as silly as it may seem;
The lovin' that you re giving,
is what keeps me livin'
And your love is like
Peaches and cream.
Kind-a like sugar,
Kind-a like spices,
Kind-a like, like what you do.
Kind-a sounds funny.
But love,honey
Honey. I love you.
Yummy, Yummy, Yummy,
I. got love in my tummy,
That your love can satisfy;
Love, you're such a sweet thing,
Good enough to eat thing
And sweet thing, that ain't no lie.
I love to hold ya,
Oh love, to kiss ya,
Ooh love, I love it so.
Ooh love, you're sweeter,
Sweeter than sugar.
What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue,
What'll I do?
What'll I do
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you,
What'll I do?
What'll I Do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to,
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you,
That won't come true,
I'll keep you warm in December
Warm when the cold breezes blow
My arms so lovin'
A kind of oven
To melt the sleet and snow
This heart that glows like an ember
Longs to be loved just by you
If it could be so
Then you'd keep me so
Warm in December too
If it could be so
Then you'd keep me so
Warm in December
Oooh -- it's cool in December
Please keep me warm in
( Now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping,
Now the time has come to part,
The time for weeping! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Now, the village mission bells are softly ringing,
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing (
. . . singing! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Where ever you may be, I'll be beside you ( . . . beside
you! )
Although you're many million miles away!
Each night I'll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you ( . .
. to guide you! )
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day . . .
Now, the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
But the memories we share are there to borrow ( . . . no
sorrow! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Our day will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring
No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know (young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me
Our day will come
If we just wait a while
No tears for us
Make love and wear a smile
Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come
(Our day will come, our day will come.)
Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come
No moon at all, what a night
Even lightnin' bugs have dimmed their lights
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all
Don't make a sound, it's so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
And there's no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might
interfere
No moon at all way up above
This is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might
interfere
No moon at all up above
Aww, this is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Aww, there's no moon at all
There is no moon at all
Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
But never, never on a Sunday
A Sunday, a Sunday, 'cause that's my day of rest
Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say, but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest
Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day
A wet day, which everyone you choose
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day
A pay day, and see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleak day
A freak day, a week day, why you can be my guest
But never, never on a Sunday
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don’t follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes I simply couldn’t be bad
Yes my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you’re perfectly swell
But my heart belongs to Daddy
Cause my Daddy he treats me so well
While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But if I do, I don’t follow through
Cause my heart belongs to Daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more
But my heart belongs to Daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
And I simply couldn’t be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you’re perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to Daddy
Gonna make a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna take a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag and got my reversation
Spent each dime i could afford
Long to hear that "all aboard"
Seven that's the time we meet at seven
I'll be waiting there for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track
That takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Sentimental journey home
Do it again.
I may cry no. no. 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.
No one is near
I may cry oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
But no one can hear
Mamma may scold me
Coz' she told me
It was naughty but then.
Do it again,
Please, 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.
No one is near
I may cry oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
But no one can hear
Mamma may scold me
Coz' she told me
It was naughty but then.
Oh Do it again,
It's June in January
Because I'm in love
It always is spring in my heart
with you in my arms.
The snow is just white blossoms
that fall from above.
And here is the reason, my dear,
Your magical charms.
The night is cold
The trees are bare
But I can feel the scent of roses in the air.
It's June in January
Because I'm in love.
But only because I'm in love with you.
Oh the night is cold!
Won't it be to bear?
But I can feel the scent of roses in the air.
It's June in January
Because I'm in love
Please baby, hold me close as you can,
Make me feel so glad;
Arms tight around me,
So right around me,
It's good to want you bad!
Please let me feel the warmth of your lips
Until it drives me mad;
Please don'r ignore me,
But just adore me,
It's good to want you bad!
When you make love
The way you make love,
It's almost too good to be true!
Love me, love me, love me, love me,
I can't get enough of you!
Please baby, never turn off your smile
And make your baby sad;
Keep right on squeezin',
Keep right on pleasin',
It's good to want you bad!
It's good to want you bad!
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never even think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart
Has learned it's lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all
When your lonely heart
Has learned it's lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
In the middle of a kiss,
Suddenly it dawned on me,
In the middle of a kiss
I knew you were mine.
In the middle of a sweet embrace,
That you at first resented,
Remember how surprised we were
To find we really meant it!
In the middle of a sigh
We stumbled into paradise;
In the twinkle of an eye
We lost it again,
For we didn't comprehend
That our dream of love would end,
Just the way it began,
In the middle of a kiss.
In the middle of a sigh
We stumbled into paradise;
In the twinkle of an eye
We lost it again,
For we didn't comprehend
That our love would ever end,
Just the way it began,
I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin
I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so
well
That I've got you under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in 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
The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girls best friend.
A kiss may be grand but it wont pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat.
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end.
But square-cut or pear-shaped
Those rocks dont lose their shape.
Diamonds are a girls best friend.
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girls best friend.
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks youre awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice.
Hes your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend.
Its then that those louses
Go back to their spouses.
The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a
child at play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before
The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled
with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you
(The lonely night discloses) just a passing breeze filled
with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
Fools rush in
Where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you my love
My heart above my head
Though I see
The danger there
If theres a chance for me
Then I don't care
Fools rush in
Where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love
So how are they to know
When we met
I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let
Fly me to the moon
On Jupiter and Mars
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
In other words
In other words
Hold my hand
Darling, kiss me
And let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
Fill my heart with song
All I worship and adore
In other words
Please be true
I love you
In other words
(musical interlude)
And let me sing forever more
Fill my heart with song
In other words
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
Please be true
Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go,
Singing low,
Bye bye blackbird,
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye bye
Blackbird!
No one here can love or understand me,
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me,
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Blackbird bye bye.
Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go,
Singing low,
Bye (bye) bye (bye) blackbird.
(tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo)
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye (bye) bye (bye) blackbird.
(tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo)
No one here can love or understand me,
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me,
(Oh oh oh oh)
Make my bed, light that light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Blackbird...
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Leave you bird jet in the sky
Toodle oo!
Farewell!
Bye bye!
Blackbird
(Blackbird,Blackbird)
They're writing songs of love - but not for me, a lucky
star's above - but not for me
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play - can guarantee
I was a fool to fall - and get that way;
Hi ho alas and also lackaday
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
There's a tale that they tell of a dolphin
And a boy made of gold.
With the shell of the pearls in the deep
He has lain many years fast asleep.
What they tell of the Boy on A Dolphin
Who can say if it's true.
Should he rise from the depths of the ocean
And wish that you wish will come true.
You say he is only a statue
And what can a statue achieve.
And yet while I'm gazing at you
My heart tells my head to believe.
If the boy whom the God have enchanted
Should arise from the sea
And the wish of my heart could be granted
My mama done told me
When I was in pigtails
My mama done told, honey,
A man's gonna sweet talk
Give you the big eye,
But when the sweet talk is done
A man is a two-face,
A worrisome thing who'll leave you,
Singing the blues in the night
Now you know the rain is fallin',
Hear that train a callin': "whooee",
My mama done told me,
Oh that lonesome whistle,
Blowing cross the trestle,
My mama done told me
A "whooee" is a "whooee"
Clicket clacks echoin' back
The blues in the night
The evening breeze will start
The trees to cryin'
And the moonlight hides its light
When you get the blues in the night
Oh take my word the mockingbird will sing
His saddest saddest kind of song
He knows things are wrong and he's right
From Natchez to Mobile,
from Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow
Yeah I've been to the big towns
And I heard me some big talk too
But when the big talk is done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing leave you
When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played
Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade
Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on
Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill
Br-oooo-ken hearted me-eee-lo-dy
Ooooonce you were our song of love
Nooooow you just keep taunting me
Wiiiiith the memory of (ba-da-da)
His tender love
Ooooh, broken hearted melody
Must you keep reminding me
Of the lips I long to kiss
And the love I miss
Since he went away
Night and day they play
That broken hearted melody
That he used to sing to me
When our love was young and bright
As he held me tight
Suddenly I found
I was heaven bound
Brooooken hearted melody
Ooooonce you were our song of love
Nooooow you just keep taunting me
Wiiiiiith the memory of (ba-da-da)
His tender love
Ooooh, broken hearted melody
Won't you bring him back to me
Sing to him until he yearns
For when he returns no more will he be
A broken hearted melody
Oooooooo, oo-oo
Oo-oo, oo-oo, ooooooooo
Oooooooo, oo-oo
Wont you come and go with me
Down that mississippi
Well take a boat to the land of dreams
Come along with me on, down to new orleans
Basin Street, Basin Street
That's the place where my friends all meet
Down in New Orleans, in that land of dreams
And you don't know how nice it seems
It's dear to me, yes-sirree
And that's the place I'm so longing to be
Where I can lose
These old Basin Street blues
No, Basin Street, my Basin Street
Where the young and the old folk meet
Down in New Orleans, in that land of dreams
You don't know how nice it really seems
But it's dear to me, yes-sirree
And that's the place I'm so longing to be
Where maybe I can lose
These old Basin Street blues
And oh, well I'm talkin' 'bout
Basin Street, Basin Street
Where the folk who know what's happenin' meet
Down in New Orleans, in the land of dreams
And you don't know how nice it seems
Or just how it really means
Dear to me, yes-sirree
It's dear to me, yes-sirree
Can't you see why I'm gonna lose
These old Basin Street blues
Oh, I wanna go where I can lose
These old Basin Street blues
Winds may blow over icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it ever remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wine
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
He never came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
A taste of honey
A taste more bitter than wine
I will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and you
Now I know, how it feels when you walk out that door
Now I know,how it feels when you don’t love me… anymore
I don’t care if this is what is meant to be
I don’t care, as long as you come back… to me
Chorus:
Oeee… I have to
But I don’t want to
I just have to
(And I need to)
Sing a little song for you…
Sing a little song,sing a little song for you…
Now I know,how it feels when someone’s givin up on you
Now I know,how it feels when you don’t care about the thinks I do
I had hoped,hoped you would always be near
But I’ll go,go for whatever’s meant to be…
Chorus
Oh listen than here’s my voice
Listen what I’ve got to say
Other think than there’s another choise
But to sing my troubles away
And try to live my life day after day
I’m singin my troubles away
And try to live my life day after day
Should I go
Should I go
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that, you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That, no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
Am I blue
Am I blue
Aren't these tears, in these eyes telling you
Am I blue, you'd be too
If each plan
With your man
Done fell through
There was a time
When I was his only one
But now I'm
The sad and lonely one...lonely
Was I gay
'Till today
Now he's gone, and we're through
Am I blue
was I gay?
'Til today
Now he's gone, and we're through
A little dream castle
With every dream gone
Is lonely and silent
The shades are all drawn
And my heart is heavy
As I gaze upon
A cottage for sale
The lawn we were proud of
Is waving in hay
A beautiful garden
Has withered away
Where you planted roses
The weeds seem to say
A cottage for sale
From every single window
I see your face
But when I reach the window
There's empty space
The key's in the mailbox
The same as before
But no one is waiting
For me anymore
The end of our story
Is there on the door
I'm in your arms
And you are kissing me
But there seems to be
Something missing
In your kissing
The love we knew
Is just a memory
It's turned into
A comedy
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone
I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your silence
Feel your touch and realize
The thrill is gone
The nights are cold
For love is old
Love was great
When love was new
Birds were singing
Sky was blue
Now I don't appeal to you
The thrill is gone
This is the end
So I pretend
The love will live on
The thrill is gone
The nights are cold
For love is old
Love was great
When love was new
Birds were singing
Sky was blue
Now I don't appeal to you
The thrill is gone
This is the end
So I pretend
The love will live on
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone
The one I love belongs to somebody else
She means her tender songs for somebody else
And even when I have my arms around her
I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
Oh the hands I hold belong to somebody else
I bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on a shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself
The one I love belongs to somebody else
[ strings ]
It's tough to be alone..
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
The more I see you
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows.
With every sigh, I become mad about you
More lost without you
And so it goes.
Can you imagine
How much I'll love you
The more I'll see you
As years go by
I know the only one for me
Can only be you.
My arms won't free you
My heart won't try.
My arms won't free you
So I walked a little too fast
And I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless, it's true
But what else can you do
At the end of a love affair.
So I took a little much
And I laughed a little much
And my voice is too loud
When I'm out in the crowd
So that people are apt to stare.
Do they know ? Do they care ?
That it's only that I'm lonely
And low as can be
And the smile on my face
Isn't really a smile at all.
So I smoke a little too much
And I joke a little too much
And the tunes I request
Are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare.
So I go at a maddening pace
And I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do
I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more;
I ain't gonna walk that lonesome, tear-stained floor.
I never knew much about love til you walked into my
heart;
I wasn't happy without love -- but at least I wasn't torn
apart.
On Saturday night you swear you're mine alone;
Then Sunday arrives, and you don't even phone.
I know you're gonna come knockin'
But I ain't gonna answer the door;
I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more.
(Instrumental Interlude: first 2 lines of verse)
I know you're gonna come knockin'
But I ain't gonna answer the door;
I ain't gonna get those Sunday blues no more,
Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near
Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here
It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
Here we are, out of cigarettes
Holding hands and yawning
Look how late it gets.
Two sleepy people
By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
To say, "good night".
Here we are, in the cozy chair
Pickin' on a wishbone
From the frigidaire,
Two sleepy people
With nothing to say,
And too much in love to break away.
Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall?
My father didn't like you at all.
Do you remember
The reason why we married in the fall?
To get a bit of rest
And get this little nest.
Here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella,
Drowsy little dame.
Two sleepy people
By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
To say, "good night".
Do you remember
The nights we used to linger in the hall?
Do you remember
The reasons why we married in the fall?
Here we are
Just about the same
Foggy little fella,
Drowsy little dame.
Two sleepy people
By dawn's early light,
And too much in love
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they cant take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they cant take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But Ill always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bent your branches down along the ground
and cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovely dreams
Lovely summer dreams
Gone and left me here
To weep my tears along the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and
say they love has sinned
To leave my heart a sign
And crying alone
Murmur to the night
Hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
Crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bent your branches down along the ground
and cover me
Listen to me plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
1. It isn't by chance I happen to be,
A boulevardier, the toast of Paris.
For over the noise, the talk and the smoke,
I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a jokeI walk in a
room, a party or ball,
"Come sit over here" somebody will call.
"A drink for M'sieur, a drink for us all!
But how many times I stop and recall.
Ah, the apple trees,
Blossoms in the breeze,
That we walked among,
Lying in the hay,
Games we used to play,
While the rounds were sung,
Only yesterday, when the world was young.
2. Wherever I go they mention my name,
And that in itself, is some sort of fame,
"Come by for a drink, we're having a game,"
Wherever I go I'm glad that I came.
The talk is quite gay, the company fine,
There's laughter and lights, and glamour and wine,
And beautiful girls and some of them mine,
But often my eyes see a diff'rent shine.
Ah, the apple trees,
Sunlit memories,
Where the hammock swung,
On our backs we'd lie,
Looking at the sky,
Till the stars were strung,
Only last July when the world was young.
Ah, the apple trees,
Blossoms in the breeze,
That we walked among,
Lying in the hay,
Games we used to play,
While the rounds were sung,
Only yesterday, when the world was young.
3. While sitting around, we often recall,
The laugh of the year, the night of them all.
The blonde who was so attractive that year,
Some opening night that made us all cheer.
Remember that time we all got so tight,
And Jacques and Antoine got into a fight.
The gendarmes who came, passed out like a light,
Love is like a never ending melody,
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
But our song of love is slightly out of tune . . . .
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich,
Seems to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing,
Like the bossa nova love should swing . . . .
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme,
‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,
What good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune?
Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be,
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love,
We’re bound to get in tune again before too long,
There’ll be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won’t be slightly out of tune, you’ll sing along with me!
Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim
with original lyrics by Newton Mendonça, 1962
To you
My heart cries out "Perfidia"
For I find you, the love of my life
In somebody else's arms
Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia"
Forgetful of the promise of love
You're sharing another's charms
With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken
melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be
And now
I find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won
Goodbye
With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken
melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be
And now
I find my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidia's won
Goodbye
For those who fancy coloring book
As certain people do
Heres a new one for you
A most unusual coloring book
The kind you never see
Crayons ready, very well
Begin to color me
These are the eyes that watched him
As he walked away
Color them gray
This is the heart that thought
He would always be true
Color it blue
These are the arms that held him
And touched him then lost him somehow
Color them empty now
These are the beads I wore
Until she came between
Color them green
This is the room I sleep in
Walk in and weep in
Hiding that nobody sees
Color it lonely, please
This is the man
The one I depended upon
More
Than the greatest love the world
Has known,
This
Is the love I'll give to you
Alone.
More
Than the simple words
I've tried to say,
I'll only live to love you
More each day.
More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.
Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know I've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.
I know I've never lived before,
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud,
I can' t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello,
That music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.
Can't you see that you're leading me on?
And it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you.
On my own,
When I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
Too misty,
And too much

Blow me a kiss from across the room say I look nice when
I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair little things mean a
Give me your arm as we cross the street call me at six on
the dot
A line a day when you're far away little things mean a
Don't have to buy me diamonds and pearls champagne sables
and such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls but honestly
honey they just cost money
Give me your hand when I've lost my way give me your
shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray give me your heart to
rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile to show me you
haven't forgot
For now and forever That always and ever little things
mean a lot
Give me your hand when I've lost my way give me your
shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray give me your heart to
rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile to show me you
haven't forgot
For now and forever That always and ever little things
The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
Is just another day
I've been terribly alone
And forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home
To my city by the bay
[Chorus:]
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may
Chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife?
I never was cut out to step and strut out
Give me the simple life
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
Those things roll off my knife
Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes
Give me the simple life.
A cottage small is all i'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones you love inside.
Some like the high road, I like the low road
free form the care and strife
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy
Give me the simple life
I'm crazy about sleep, can't do without sleep
Give me the simple life
I don't aim to worry, hustle or hurry
Give me the simple life.
I greet the dawn when I awaken
The sky is clear up above
I like my scrambled eggs and bacon
Served by someone i love.
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy
Corny and seedy, but yes, indeedy
If you wake, and hate to face the day
And black coffee doesn’t clear the fog away
In spite of all you do, that nightmare’s here to stay
Get ready, get set for the blues
If you’re caught in some old witch’s spell
And there’s not a penny in your wishing well
And you’re just riding on a crazy carousel
Get ready, get set for the blues
The blues, the “sorry for yourself” blues
Will get you if you don’t watch out
The blues, the “everybody hates you” blues
Will move right in without a doubt.
If the sun can’t chase away the chill
And the clouds look like they’re gonna overspill
And you don’t seem to care,
In fact you hope they will
Get ready, get set,
Love is like a never ending melody
Poets have compared it to a symphony
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon
But our song of love is slightly out of tune
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch
Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich
Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing
Like the Bossa Nova love should swing
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time
Now the song is different and the words don't even rhyme
‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always
croon
And what good's a heart that's slightly out of tune
Tune your heart to me the way it used to be
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of lovin'
We're bound to get in tune again before too long
There'll be no desafinado
When your heart belongs to me completely
So you won't be slightly out of tune
You'll sing along with me
Sing along with me
Sing along with me
Sing along with me
Now you say you're lonely,
You cried the whole 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;
Told me love was too plebian,
Told me you were through with me-
And Now you say you love me,
Well, just to prove you do,
Come on and cry me a river,
Cry me a river,
Come on-a my house my house, I'm gonna give you candy
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give a you
Apple a plum and apricot-a too eh
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house I'm gonna give a you
Figs and dates and grapes and cakes eh
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you candy
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you
everything
(instrumental interlude)
Come on-a my house my house, I'm gonna give you
Christmas tree
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you
Marriage ring and a pomegranate too ah
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house I'm gonna give a you
Peach and pear and I love your hair ah
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house a come on
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you Easta-
Come on-a my house, my house, I'm gonna give you
Everything - everything - everything
Guess there's no use in hangin' 'round
Guess I'll get dressed and do the town
I'll find some crowded avenue
Though it will be empty without you
Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thru... loving you
Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say "hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day
Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thru... loving you
I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kiddin', only me
'cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a hopeless case
Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thru... loving you
I can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy, Im awake
With no bromo-seltzer handy
I dont even shake
Men are not a new sensation
Ive done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
Im wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Couldnt sleep and wouldnt sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldnt sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laughs on me
Ill sing to him, each spring to him
And long, for the day when Ill cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Hes a fool and dont I know it
But a fool can have his charms
Im in love and dont I show it
Like a babe in arms
Loves the same old sad sensation
Lately Ive not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
Ive sinned a lot, Im mean a lot
But Im like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Ill sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
When he talks, he is seeking
Words to get, off his chest
Horizontally speaking, hes at his very best
Vexed again, perplexed again
Thank god, I can be oversexed again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am i
Wise at last, my eyes at last,
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Burned a lot, but learned a lot
And now you are broke, so you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Couldnt eat, was dispeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my hearts antiseptic
Since you moved out of there
Romance, finis. your chance, finis.
Those ants that invaded my pants, finis.
Bésame, bésame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss, I hear music divine
Bésame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine
This joy is something new
My arms enfolding you
Never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be
Holding you close to me
Whispering "It's you I adore"
Dearest one
If you should leave me
Each little dream would take wing, and my life would be
through
Bésame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame mucho
Que tengo miedo perderte, perderte otra vez
Quiero tenerte muy
Cerca, mirarme en tus
Ojos, verte junto a mí
Piensa que tal vez
Mañana yo ya estaré
Lejos, muy lejos de ti
Bésame, bésame mucho
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez
Bésame mucho
A room with a view, I’ve got a room with a view
Of wonderful you, my next door dream
‘Cause you’re the one and only one my heart really adores
And I’m so glad my window pane is just opposite yours
It isn’t the moon way up in heaven above
It isn’t the stars I’m dreaming of
I’m only looking forward to the time that I’ll be sharing
with you
A heaven for two
Got my feathers burned,
Got my lesson learned,
Guess that I was born to lose.
Take it straight from me,
Love is misery,
Listen while I sing the blues;
Ain't it a shame,
He had to go and grieve me,
Some other dame
Has made him up to leave me.
That's how it happens,
A nightingale can sing the blues.
I'll put it straight,
He's got his self a new bird,
Gave me the gate
And now I'm just a blue bird,
That's how it happens,
A nightingale can sing the blues.
He can take me
And forsake me
Just as quick as that!
When there's someone new in town.
But I'm bettin'
He'll be frettin'
For his old job back
When his brand new lady love has let him down!
You take my word,
There ain't no use a-preachin',
I got a bird
Who's gonna get some teachin'!
Then he'll discover
A nightingale can sing the blues,
That's how it happens,
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love
Just who can solve its mystery?
And why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there, one wonderful day
But you took my heart and you threw my heart away
That's why I ask the Lord up in heaven above
Let there be you
Let there be me
Let there be oysters
Under the sea
Let there be wind
An occasional rain
Chile con care
Sparkling champagne
Let there be birds
To sing in the trees
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love
Let there be you
Let there be me
Oysters
Under the sea
Let there be wind
An occasional rain
Chile con care
Sparkling champagne
Let there be birds
To sing in the trees
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos
A lark and a dove
But first of all, please
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
(Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-dut)
(Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-dut)
I was a fool to step aside
And let you run to someone new
But I won't be a fool anymore
I'm coming back to you
Can't bear to think you're kissing her
It tortures me the whole night through
But I won't take that torture anymore
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to you
She's got no right to hold you tight
Her days are over... beginning tonight
Your lips belong to me alone
No one could love you like I do
And I can't live without you anymore
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to you
(Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-dut)
(Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-dut)
Your lips belong to me alone
No one could love you like I do
And I can't live without you anymore
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to you
(Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-ooh)
I'm coming back to you
(Du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-ooh)
The moon was all aglow
But heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
The stars all seemed to know
You didn't mean all those sighs
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
I try, but there's no forgetting
When evenin' appears
I sigh but there's no regretting
In spite of my tears
Who wouldn't believe those lips
Who wouldn't believe those eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
I try, but there's no forgetting
When evenin' appears
I sigh but there's no regretting
In spite of my tears
The Devil was in your heart
But Heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me
Those little white lies
Those lies
