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

Título: Sorri
Sorria através do seu coração doendo.
Sorria até o final através dele se quebrando.
Enquanto lá estiverem as nuvens no céu, você irá aprender de cor.
Se você sorri através do medo e tristeza
Sorria e talvez amanhã
Você irá ver o sol raiar através de você.
Ilumine seu rosto com sua alegria
Esconda todo traço de tristeza
Através de uma lágrima pode estar sempre tão perto
Lá está o tempo que você terá que manter-se tentando.
Sorria, o que é o uso do choro?
Você achará que a vida continua sendo conveniente
Se você simplesmente sorrir.

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
instrumental interlude
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
The wold world can see how much I love you
That you treat me so unkind
If you can't see it you must be blind
It's plain as can be how hard I tried
To be with you all the time
If you can't see it you must be blind
With all the heartaches you have caused
I still go on feelingt the same
But for the good that it does
You're breaking my heart all over again
So mean to me but I will forgive
My darling please say that you're mine
Oh gee why must you be so blind
(Instrumental)
So mean to me but I will forgive
My darling please say that you're mine
It wasn't my intention to eavesdrop,
But there a guy sat, two stools away,
And you could tell the bartender knew him
And that he'd been there some other day.
And while I sipped my libation,
I overheard his conversation...
"Re---member
How I'd walk in,
What excitement there would be?
Never less than twenty people,
I had lots of friends, you see.
"I gave the party, I was the host.
Everyone loved me,
I was the most.
"Champagne and plenty of it,
Real imported caviar,
And the hat check girl got fifty
Just for lighting my cigar.
"I kept 'em laughin', jokes by the yard.
Everyone loved me,
I was a card.
"And I had a girl,
A beautiful girl,
Her whole world, I think, consisted of mink
And diamonds and pearls.
"Because she was mine,
I'd glitter and shine,
And life was a ball, and wasn't it all
So cozy 'n fine?
"But nothing lasts forever,
And the deepest well runs dry.
Just 'cause I've stopped rolling sevens
Doesn't mean I have to cry.
"I'll take that nightcap,
One more won't show.
And incidentally...maybe you know...
Where, oh, where, oh, where
Did everyone go?"
"Where, oh, where, oh, where
When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
(Instrumental)
So, kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
Your love will live in my heart
I'm walkin' out the door with you on my mind
I'm walkin' out the door with you on my mind
But every step away from you, I feel like cryin'
I walked into the street, talkin' to myself
I walked into the street, talkin' to myself
No matter what my conscience says, I'm thinkin' 'bout nobody else
I met a brand new chick, phone to make a date
I met a brand new chick, phone to make a date
But when her I rang her number up but I got your number by mistake
You say you love me, baby, don't know what to do
You say you love me, baby, don't know what to do
Rabbits on the hillside big as a mule
Rabbits on the hillside, big as a mule

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

Pick yourself up
Take a deep breath
Dust yourself off
And start all over again
Nothing's impossible, I have found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again
Don't lose your confidence
If you slip be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up, dust yourself off
And start all over again
Work like a soul inspired
Until the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired
But you'll be a man, my son
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
They picked themselves up, dust themselves off
And start'd all over again
Work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired
But you'll be a man, my son
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off
It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may tumble, Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
In time the Rockies may tumble, Gibraltar may crumble
They're only made of clay
I never lost my heart while stealing a glance
Taking a chance, try and romance
But when your eyes hang off that danger sign
Ooh, kickaroonie
I never had a yearn for making a date
Leaving at eight, staying out late
But when you put your sweet, sweet lips to mine
Ooh, kickaroonie
This is one time I can't say
It's just one of those things
Since my heart spends all its time
Tied to your apron strings
I never had a yearn for taking your arm
Holding your charm, buying a farm
But when you put your sweet, sweet lips to mine
Ooh, kickaroonie
This is one time I can't say
It's just one of those things
Since my heart spends all it's time
Tied to your apron string
I never had a yearn for taking your arm
Holding your charm, buying a farm
But when you put your sweet, sweet lips to mine
Ooh, kickaroonie
Once in a while, will you try
To give one little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?
Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while
Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
Drifted apart?
There was a boy
A very strange enchanged boy
They say he travelled very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day, he came my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart
There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When your lost in the magic of a kiss
Her lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
My foolish heart
For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love, this time it's love
Who feeds the reindeer all their hay?
Who wraps the gifts and packs the sleigh?
Who's helping Santa every day?
Mrs. Santa Claus
Who keeps his red suit looking nice?
Who does he turn to for advice?
Who gives the brownies all their spice?
Mrs. Santa Claus
She pitter patters all around the workshop
The whole year long
Amid the happy clatter of the workshop
She sings a merry, merry Christmas song
Who reads the notes from girls and boys?
Turns in the order for their toys
Fills every heart with wondrous joys
Mrs. Santa Claus
She pitter patters all around the workshop
The whole year long
Amid the happy clatter of the workshop
She sings a merry, merry Christmas song
Who reads the notes from girls and boys?
Turns in the order for their toys
Fills every heart with wondrous joys
Mrs. Santa Claus
Just you, just me
Let's find a cozy spot
To cuddle and woo
Just us, just we
I've missed an awful lot
My trouble is you
Oh, gee
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
Around wonderful you
Oh, gee
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
Tie a lover's knot
Tie a lover's knot
It is only a paper moon
Hanging over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
It is only a canvas sky
Sailing over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played on a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played on a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
Are you an illusion that I've kissed?
Am I only dreaming you exist?
Am I just pretending dreams come true?
And is heaven wise opening my eyes
To someone like you?
Are you an illusion I embrace?
Can you be the rainbow that I chase?
Want you in this yearning that I feel
Tell me that it's so, what I want to know
Tell me that you're real
Are you an illusion I embrace?
Can you be the rainbow that I chase?
Want you in this yearning that I feel
Tell me that it's so, what I want to know
(Johnny Burke)
Better face the facts, ol' buddy,
And be prepared to take the blow.
You don't have to sit and study,
It's something anyone should know.
Shake hands... get your hat...
And go.
You can praise her eyes,
And adore her hair.
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.
And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air,
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.
And you can look
With a longing in your look,
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware.
And you can weep and sigh,
You can say, "Unfair".
You can almost die of despair.
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.

Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies.
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears,
More and more do I realize:
I love paris in the springtime.
I love paris in the fall.
I love paris in the winter when it drizzles,
I love paris in the summer when it sizzles.
I love paris every moment,
Every moment of the year.
I love paris, why, oh why do I love paris?
Because my love is near.
(Nathaniel Cole)
I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today.
Just got the news that my best gal has left me to stay.
Things were pretty rosy,
We got along so fine.
Until another guy moved in
And handed her a line.
I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today.
So I decided to try and get her off my mind.
Started to walkin', to see what enjoyment I'd find.
Was invited to a party,
Then there was a fight.
A fella got a whippin'...
You guessed it right.
I don't know why I'm so doggone unlucky today.

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

Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat
Love is everywhere, it's magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
I'll learn to love forever, come what may
Love is everywhere, it's magic perfume fills the air

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore
And love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it, take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore

Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Lost April
Where did you go?
Like winter's snow
I saw you vanish
Lost April
So soft and warm
A memory
Not even time can banish
Lost April
That taught me this
A single kiss
Could lead to Heaven
But April had numbered days
So when they passed
Love couldn't last
I lost love and you and April, too
So when they passed
Love couldn't last
(Brackets indicate choir in background)
(I don't why I should cry over you?)
Sigh over you? Even be blue?
I should have known that you'd leave me alone
And break my heart in two
Although you have left me alone to pine
And all of my love was a waste of time
Someday your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you?
(Although you have left me alone to pine)
And all of my love was a waste of time
Someday your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you?
They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
(Con Conrad, Gladys DuBois, Russ Columbo, Paul Gregory)
I can't forget the night I met you,
That's all I'm dreaming of.
Now you call it madness,
But I call it love.
You made a promise to be faithful
By all the stars above.
And now you call it madness,
But I call it love.
My heart is beating,
It keeps repeating for you constantly.
You're all I'm needing
And so I'm pleading,
Please come back to me.
You made a plaything out of romance,
What were you thinking of?
Now you call it madness,
But I call it love.

We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
And life flows within you and without you.
We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul-
They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,
Is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE
When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy,
Then the rain begins to fall, pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
Love is gone, what can matter,
No sweet lover man comes to call.
When Sunny gets blue, she breaths a sigh of sadness,
Like the wind that stirs the trees,
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying
Like some violin is playing strange and haunting melodies.
Bridge:
*People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile,
That's how she got her name.
Since that sad affair, she lost her smile, changed her style,
Somehow she's not the same.
When Sunny gets blue, pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through,
Hurry new love, hurry here, to kiss away each lonely tear,
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at Bridge*.)

What'll I do when you
Are far away
And I'm so blue,
What'll I do?
What'll I do when i
Am wondering who
Is kissing you,
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just
A photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll I do?
~interlude~
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
(Pete Johnson, Joe Turner)
It was early one Monday mornin',
And I was on my way to school.
It was early one Monday mornin',
When I was on my way to school.
That was the mornin'
When I broke my mother's rule.
I've been in love with you, baby,
Before I learned to call your name.
I've been in love with you, baby,
Before I learned to call your name.
Now you're in love with someone else
I know that's gonna drive me insane!
~interlude~
Ooh wee baby,
You sure look good to me.
Ooh wee baby,
You sure look good to me.
Please tell me, pretty mama

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

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

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

If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea
There’s a hope in my heart that you’ll soon be with me
There’s a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea
And it cries "come to me, come to me."
As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore
You are here in my arms for a moment or more
Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea
And it cries "come to me, come to me."
But as long as there’s sand, as long as there’s sea
As long as there’s time I’ll wait hopefully
As long as there’s heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me
But as long as there’s sand, as long as there’s sea
As long as there’s time I’ll wait hopefully
As long as there’s heaven up above
Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me
Can love be as pure as the Pearl.
Just look in the heart of my love for you,
You'll find the Ruby and the Pearl
My love will endure like Diamonds,
And shine with the simmer of Gold.
It glows as a bright star above for you,
A thing of beauty to behold.
Come close and cling to my kiss,
Stay close and share the passion of this.
Yes love is as warm as the Ruby,
And love is a s pure as the Pearl.
Just look in the heart of my love for you,
(joe ricardel, redd evans)
I don’t want french fried potatoes,
Red ripe tomatoes,
I’m never satisfied.
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.
I don’t want pork chops and bacon,
That won’t awaken
My appetite inside.
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.
A fella really got to eat
And a fella should eat right.
Five will get you ten
I’m gonna feed myself right tonight.
I don’t want fish cakes and rye bread,
You heard what I said.
Waiter, please serve mine fried
I want the frim fram sauce with the ausen fay
With chafafa on the side.

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

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

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

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

Say it isn't so...
Say it isn't so.
Everyone is saying you don't love me,
Say it isn't so.
Everywhere I go,
Everyone I know
Whispers that you're growing tired of me,
Say it isn't so.
People say that you
Found somebody new,
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Say it isn't true.
Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.
People say passing by
Say he's younger than I
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Tell me it's a lie.
Say that everything is still okay,
That's all I want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.
Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm blue
My disposition
Depends on you
I never mind
The rain from the sky
If I can find
The sun in your eyes
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you
That's how I am
So what can I do?
I'm happy when I'm with you
Sometimes I love you
Sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you
It's 'cause I love you
That's how I am
So what can I do?
I'm happy when I'm with you

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
(M. Gordon, H. Revel)
Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a thing
Ever change you.
Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a soul
Rearrange you.
Don't ever lose
All the charm you possess,
Your loveliness, darling,
The way you say "yes".
Stay as sweet as you are
Discreet as you are,
You're divine, dear.
Stay as grand as you are,
And as you are,
Tell me that you're mine, dear.
Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day I pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are.

What good is a dream,
A plan or a scheme,
The rainbow that you pursue?
It's everything... and it's nothing
Without someone to tell it to.
How eager you are
To get to that star,
But after the journey's through,
You're only a lonely dreamer
Without someone to tell it to.
There'll be blue days,
Hard to get through days,
Days when you'll just want to die.
Soon you're older,
And the world's colder,
When there's no shoulder to cry on.
Castles in air
Are empty and bare
With no one to share the view.
The moonlight is merely moonlight,
There's no magic in "I love you"
Without someone
Someone to tell it to.
~interlude~
The moonlight is merely moonlight,
There's no magic in "I love you"
Without someone

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

Non dimenticar means don’t forget you are my darling
Don’t forget to be
All you mean to me
Non dimenticar my love is like a star, my darling
Shining bright and clear
Just because you’re here
Please do not forget that our lips have met
And I’ve held you tight, dear
Was it dreams ago my heart felt this glow?
Or only just tonight, dear?
Non dimenticar although you travel far, my darling
It’s my heart you own, so I’ll wait alone
Non dimenticar
Se ci separ¨°, se ci allontan¨°
L’ala del destino
Non ne ho colpa, no, e mi sentiro sempre a te vicino
Non dimenticar although you travel far, my darling
It’s my heart you own, so I’ll wait alone
Non dimenticar
Non dimenticar means don't forget you are my darling
Don't forget to be
All you mean to me
Non dimenticar my love is like a star, my darling
Shining bright and clear
Just because you're here
Please do not forget that our lips have met
And I've held you tight, dear
Was it dreams ago my heart felt this glow?
Or only just tonight, dear?
Non dimenticar although you travel far, my darling
It's my heart you own, so I'll wait alone
Non dimenticar
Se ci separò, se ci allontanò
L'ala del destino
Non ne ho colpa, no, e mi sentiro sempre a te vicino
Non dimenticar although you travel far, my darling
It's my heart you own, so I'll wait alone
Non dimenticar
There's just one place for me
Near you
It's like heaven to be
Near you
Times when we're apart
I can't face my heart
Say you'll never stray
More than just two lips away
*If my hours could be spent
Near you
I'd be more than content
Near you
Make my life worthwhile
By telling me that I'll
Spend the rest of my days
Near you
Repeat from *
I'll spend the rest of my days
Near you
Spend the rest of my days
Near you (and fade)
(charles singleton, rose marie mccoy)
You are my personal possession,
You’re mine alone
You are my personal possession,
My very own.
Nobody else must kiss you but me,
Nobody else must miss you but me.
Nobody must dream of you but me,
And nobody else must love you but me.
You’re my personal possession,
That’s what you are.
You’re my magnificent obsession,
My lucky star.
I own you exclusively,
Darling, you belong to me.
You’re my personal possession,
My precious love!
(background vocals:)
(nobody else must kiss you but me,
Nobody else must miss you but me.
Nobody must dream of you but me)
(nat:)
And nobody else must love you but me.
You’re my personal possession,
That’s what you are.
You’re my magnificent obsession,
My lucky star.
I own you exclusively,
Darling, you belong to me.
You’re my personal possession,
My precious love!
If it's wrong wanting you,
Wanting you as I do,
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you.
If it's wrong to desire
Lips that set me on fire,
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you;
*You're my temptation,
My heaven, my bliss.
I never knew love
Could thrill me like this.
So if it's wrong loving you
Heart and soul as I do,
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at bridge*.)
*You're my temptation,
My heaven, my bliss.
I never knew love
Could thrill me like this.
So if it's wrong loving you
Heart and soul as I do,
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you.
Come, my love, with me
Across the sea.
Return to paradise.
All in life worthwhile
Is on that isle.
Return to paradise.
BRIDGE:
Velvet moon above
Evil turns to love,
Love evermore.
Come with me and find
Your peace of mind.
Return to paradise.
(Pick up at Bridge)
Velvet moon above
Evil turns to love,
Love evermore.
Come with me and find
Your peace of mind.
Return to paradise.

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

My baby don’t care for shows, my baby don’t care for clothes,
My baby just cares for me.
My baby don’t care for furs and laces,
My baby don’t care for high-toned places,
My baby don’t care for rings or other expensive things,
She’s sensible as can be.
My baby don’t care who knows it,
My baby just cares for me.
(instrumental interlude)
My baby’s no crosby fan, dick tracy is not her man,
My baby just cares for me.
My baby don’t care for mr. tibbits,
She’d rather have me around to kibbitz.
Roy rogers is not her style, and even clark gable’s smile
Is something that she can’t see.
(oh, you lucky so-and-so)
I wonder what’s wrong with baby,
My baby just cares for me.
(oliveiro/ortolani/ciorciolini/newell)
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,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.
Misty
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree,
And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud, I can't understand,
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way, and a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it might be the sound of your hello, that music I hear,
I get misty, the moment you're near.
(BRIDGE)
*You can say that you're leading me on,
But it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost,
That's why I'm following you.
On my own, would I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left, my hat from my glove,
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at bridge*.)

Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down at Lover's Lane, she strayed.
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
~interlude~
When she woke from her dream
And found that her love had gone,
Madam...
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray.
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down.
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Then the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail.
Madam...
They strung her upon
A willow across the way.
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried.
Madam...
Miss Otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Lost April
Where did you go?
Like winter's snow
I saw you vanish
Lost April
So soft and warm
A memory
Not even time can banish
Lost April
That taught me this
A single kiss
Could lead to Heaven
But April had numbered days
So when they passed
Love couldn't last
I lost love and you and April, too
So when they passed
Love couldn't last
(and I’ll be there at no particular time)
(pyle/robinson/terker)
Baby, we two can’t get along,
I’m never right, you’re never wrong.
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time.
Baby, it just ain’t common sense
Mixin’ up love with arguments.
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time.
I’m all fed up on stormy weather,
I’m going where it’s june.
Here’s hopin’ I see you never
’cause if I do, that will be too soon.
Now that I’ve put my heart on ice,
Missing you will seem paradise.
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time.
~interlude~
You’d better bring along your glasses
In case I’m hard to find,
You’ll wish you could see before you
As clearly as you can see behind.
You can turn back in retropect
Of the times you stuck out your neck.
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time.
All we do is make up
Then quarrel all over again,
But this is it ~ the breakup
From now on, you knew me when...
So meet me at no special place,
And I’ll be there at no particular time!
(frankie laine, fred karger)
You’re my magnificent obsession
The greatest wonder on this earth.
The taj mahal and other spendors
To me really have no worth.
You’re my magificent possession,
A treasure lent me from above.
As long as I have breath within me,
You’ll be my one and only love.
(interlude)
You’re my magificent possession,
A treasure lent me from above.
As long as I have breath within me,
You’ll be my one and only love.
(billy strayhorn)
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life...
From jazz and cocktails.
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distant gay traces
That used to be there you could see where they’d been washed away
By too many through the day...
Twelve o’clock tales.
Then you came along with your siren of song
To tempt me to madness!
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness
Of a great love for me.
Ah yes! I was wrong...
Again,
I was wrong.
Life is lonely again,
And only last year everything seemed so sure.
Now life is awful again,
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore.
A week in paris will ease the bite of it,
All I care is to smile in spite of it.
I’ll forget you, I will
While yet you are still burning inside my brain.
Romance is mush,
Stifling those who strive.
I’ll live a lush life in some small dive...
And there I’ll be, while I rot
With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too..
Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Take me out of this world tonight.
Take me; make me forget my sorrow,
So when I wake tomorrow, I'll know our love was right.
Kiss me as though it were now of never;
Teach me all that a heart should know.
Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Oh my darling, love me; don't ever let me go.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up.)
Kiss me as though it were now or never;
Teach me all that a heart should know.
Love me as though there were no tomorrow;
Oh my darling, love me; don't ever let me go.
Love Affair
By Nat King Cole
Album :
Our love affair is a wonderous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with out first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space
Our love affair
May it always be
A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand
With a reverent prayer
That we may live
And we may share
A love affair to remember
So take my hand
With a reverent prayer
That we may live
And we may share
A love affair to remember
