Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
All the stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In the hope that Saint Niccholas soon would be there.
Then, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
A miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
A little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.
And more rapid than eagles his reindeer all came
As he shouted “On Dasher” and each reindeer’s name.
And so up to the housetop the reindeer soon flew
With the sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas, too.
Down the chimney he came with a leap and a bound;
He was dressed allin fur, and his belly was round.
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stocking, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Then giving a nod up the chimney he rose.
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!”
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
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
If you loved me half as much as I love you
You wouldn't worry me half as much as you do
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
------ instrumental break ------
You're nice to me when there's no one else around
You only build me up to let me down
If you missed me half as much as I miss you
You wouldn't stay away half as much as you do
I know that I would never be this blue
If you only loved me half as much as I love you
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 sky
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
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
You´ll never know just how much I miss you
You´ll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn´t hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven´t I told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don´t know how
You´ll never know if you don´t know now
(You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer)
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don´t know how
You´ll never know if you don´t know now
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring as sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
Those fingers in my hair that sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare, it's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it, the heat is too intense
for it
What good would common sense for it do?
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch but one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
'Cause it's witchcraft, that crazy witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch but one I wouldn't switch
We're in the money, we're in the money
We've got a lot of what it takes to get along
We're in the money, the skies are sunny
Old man depression you are through, you're gonna strung
We never see a headline, 'bout a breadline today
And when we see the landlord
We can look that guy right in the eye
We're in the money, 'cmon my honey
Let's spend it, lend it, send it, rollin' along
We never see a headline, 'bout a breadline today
And when we see the landlord
We can look that guy right in the eye
We're in the money, 'cmon my honey
Let's spend it, let's lend it
Where are you going
My little one, little one
Where are you going
My baby, my own
Turn around and you’re two
Turn around and you’re four
Turn around and you’re a young girl
Going out of the door
Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you’re a young girl
Going out of the door
Where are you going
My little one, little one
Little pigtails, petticoats
Where have they gone
Turn around and you’re tiny
Turn around and you’re grown
Turn around and you’re a young wife
With babes of your own
Turn around, turn around
Turn around and you’re a young wife
With babes of your own
Where have they gone
My little ones, little ones
Where have they gone
My babies, my own
Turn around and they’re young
Turn around and they’re old
Turn around and they’re gone
And we’ve no one to hold
Turn around, turn around
Turn around and they’re gone
And we’ve no one to hold
Where are you going
They're either too young, or too old
They're either too gray or too grassy green
The pickings are poor and the crop is lean
What's good is in the army
What's left will never harm me
They're either too old or too young
So, darling, you'll never get stung
Tomorrow I'll go hiking with that Eagle Scout unless
I get a call from grandpa for a snappy game of chess
I'll never, never fail ya
While you are in Australia
Or off among the Rooshians
And flying over Egypt
Your heart will never be gypped
And when you get to India
I'll still be what I've been to ya
I've looked the field over
And lo and behold
They're either too young or too old
They're either too bald or too bold
I'm down to the wheelchair and bassinet
My heart just refuses to get upset
I simply can't compel it to
With no Marine to tell it to
I'm either their first breath of spring
Or else, I'm their last little fling
I either get a fossil or an adolescent pup
I either have to hold him off
Or have to hold him up
The battle is on, but the fortress will hold
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The mem’ry of all that
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing on key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I’ll always always
Keep the mem’ry of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced til three
The way you’ve changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
Thanks for the memory
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line
How lovely it was!
Thanks for reminding me
Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes
And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and
prunes
How lovely it was!
Many's the time that we feasted
And many's the time that we fasted
Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted
We did have fun and no harm done
So thanks for the memory
Of summers at the shore, nights in Singapore
You may have been a headache but you never were a bore
I thank you so much.
Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse
And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for
worse"
How lovely it was
Thanks for the memory
Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case
And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only
How lovely it was!
We said goodbye with a highball
Then I got as "high" as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us
So, thanks for the memory
And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you?
And how are all the little dreams that never did come
true?
Aw'flly glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-oo
Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
Now I'm taking that game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We'll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love
Here I slip again
About to take that trip again
I got that grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
I'm in a groove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again

Silver Bells
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There's a feeling
of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
and on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush
home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big day
And above all this bustle
You'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Savior, is born!
Christ the Savior, is born!
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
Well if you ever plan to motor west
Just take my way that's the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well it winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than 2000 miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well goes from St. Louie down to Missouri
Oklahoma city, the toots look pretty
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly tip
And go take that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Well goes from St. Louie down to Missouri
Oklahoma city, the toots look pretty
You'll see Amarillo and Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly tip
And go take that California trip
Here we are, two very bewildered people
Here we are, two babies that are lost in the wood
We're not quite certain what has happened to us
This lovely thing that's so marvelous
But right from here, the future looks awfully good
Our love affair was meant to be
It's me for you dear and you for me
We'll fuss and quarrel
And tears start to brew
But after the tears, our love will smile through
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side
And when we're older, we'll proudly declare
"Wasn't ours a lovely love affair?"
I'm sure that I could never hide
The thrill I get when you're by my side
And when we're older, we'll proudly declare
It's quarter to three,
There's no one in the place except you and me,
So, set 'em up, Joe,
I've got a little story you oughta know,
We're drinking, my friend,
To the end of a brief episode,
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road.
I got the routine,
So drop another nickel in the machine,
I'm feelin' so bad,
I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad,
Could tell you a lot,
But that's not in a gentleman's code,
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road.
You'd never know it,
But, buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lotta things to say.
And when I'm gloomy,
You simply gotta listen to me,
Until it's talked away.
Well, that's how it goes
And Joe, I know you're gettin' anxious to close,
So thanks for the cheer,
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear,
This torch I've found,
Must be drowned or it soon might explode,
Make it one for my baby
Oh! you beautiful doll,
You great big beautiful doll!
Let me put my arms about you,
I could never live without you;
Oh! you beautiful doll,
You great big beautiful doll!
If you ever leave me how my heart will ache,
I want to hug you but I fear you'd break
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Day is ending, birds are wending
Back to the shelter of
Each little nest they love
Nightshades falling, lovers calling
What makes the World go round
Nothing but love
When whippoorwills call
And evening is nigh
I hurry to my Blue Heaven
I turn to the right
A little white light
Will lead you to my Blue Heaven
A a smiling face, a fireplace, a cosy room
A little nest that nestles where roses bloom
Just Molly and me
And baby makes three
We're happy in my Blue Heaven
(Orchestral Break)
A a smiling face, a fireplace, a cosy room
A little nest that nestles where roses bloom
Just Molly and me
And baby makes three
We're happy in my Blue Heaven
(Whistling)
A a smiling face, a fireplace, a cosy room
A little nest that nestles where roses bloom
Just Molly and me
And baby makes three
Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
And give you the break you need
More than you know, more than you know
Man of my heart I love you so
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Man of my heart, I'll string along
You need me so
More than you'll ever know
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But, honey, I can't live without it
Oh, how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired and said Goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'll ever know
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Icy finger waves
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
As they travel each bend in the road
And when people meet, in this romantic setting
They're so hypnotized by the lovely...
Evening summer breeze
Sweet warblings of the meadowlark
Mangoes, papaya, chestnuts from the fire
In my house of straw I have so much more
Pie from the peach and I fix in the kitchen
Each bite is just right for your appetite
Now if you like-a the way I cook
And if you like-a the way I look
Then step inside my shady nook
And you'll find mangoes and papayas, anything your heart desires
Mangoes, papaya, chestnuts from the fire
The food is so good, you will want to stay
Eat up and drink up and maybe you'll think up
The day when we say preacher man okay
Now if you like-a the way I cook
And if you like-a the way I look
Then step inside my shady nook
And you'll find mangoes and papayas, anything your heart desires
Mangoes, papaya, chestnuts from the fire
The food is so good, you will want to stay
Eat up and drink up and maybe you'll think up
The day when we say preacher man okay
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly whites
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it out of sight
You know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, sunny morning
Lies a body just oozin' life
And someone's sneakin' 'round the corner
Could that someone be oh Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat down by the river don'tcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'droopin' on down
Oh that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Mack he's back in town
Now d'ja hear 'bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Oooh Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town.
Aah I said Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky’s back in town
Love you didn't do right by me
You planned a romance that just hadn't a chance and I'm
through
Love you didn't do right by me
I'm back on the shelf
and I'm blaming myself
but it's you
My one love affair didn't get anywhere from the start
To send me a Joe who had winter and snow in his heart
wasn't smart.
Love You didn't do right by me
As they say in the song...you done me wrong
My one love affair didn't get anywhere from the start
To send me a Joe who had winter and snow in his heart
wasn't smart.
Oh Love You didn't do right by me
As they say in the song...you done me wrong
Its 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 were going a long, long way.
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble,
Theyre only made of clay,
its the most wonderful time of the year
with the kids jingle belling and everyone telling youll
be of good cheer
its the most wonderful time of the year
its the hap- happest season of all
with those holiday greetings
and gay happy meetings when friends come to call
its the hap- happest season of all
there be parties for hosting
marshmellows for tosting
and caroling out in the snow
there be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories
of Christmases
long long ago
its the most wonderful time of the year
there be much misoltoeng
and hearts will be glowing
when loved ones are near
its the most wonderful time of the year
there be parties for hosting
marshmellows for tosting
and caroling out in the snow
there be scary ghost stories
and tales of the glories of Christmases long long ago
Its the most wonderful time of the year
there be much misoletong
and hearts will be glowing
when loved ones are near
Its the most wonderful time
Yes the most wonderful time
Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
And it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree (oh,yeah)
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in the penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be (I know)
But it wouldn't be make believe
Yesterday you came my way
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill, you see.
That it was love at sight
And I was right to love you as I do,
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do,
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling everyone I know,
I'm on your mind each place you go,
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me,
I just can't imagine that you love me;
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one,
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
Skies are gray,
I'm blue each day when you are not around,
Ev'rything goes wrong, my dear, I've found,
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you,
It all seems too good to me to all be true.
Your eyes of blue
Your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do,
I can't believe that you're in love with me.
You're telling everyone I know,
I'm on your mind each place you go,
They can't believe that you're in love with me.
I have always placed you far above me,
I just can't imagine that you love me;
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one,
How will I remember you
By the breathless way you always spoke
By the welcome in your arms
And what about this heart you broke
How will I remember you?
How could I forget a kiss so rare?
And a touch that carried me
A way out in to space somewhere
Come back to me
Come back to me
We hold the secret of
A special love
A love that’s meant to be
How will I remember you
What a foolish question sweetheart mine
When a thousand memories
Are with me nearly all the time
Come back to me
But til you do
How well will I remember you
Come back to me
But til you do
If you should decide to seek your special dream
Your heart's desire
Nothing you can ever do
Will bring more joy to you
And if you're wise you'll recognize
Your guiding theme
Your heart's desire
Follow that and you may make
Your dearest dream come true
But if you seek your heart's desire
Your heart may break
That's the risk your dreams require
The chance you take
The choice you make
And soon enough the seasons start to slip away
So seize the day and if the fates are kind
Then you may find your heart's desire
But if you seek your heart's desire
Your heart may break
That's the risk your dreams require
The chance you take
The choice you make
And soon enough the seasons start to slip away
So cease the day
Dream your dream and make it grow
You're luckier than most you know
Lucky to be living for your heart
Maybe I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Life isn't long enough, baby
But I can love you as long as I live
And maybe I can't give you diamonds
And things like I want to
But I can promise you, baby
I'm gonna want to as long as I live
Well, I never cared, now I'm scared
I won't live long enough
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains
And eat an apple everyday, see the doctor anyway
And what if I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Long as I promise you, baby
I'm gonna want to as long as I live
Maybe I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Life just isn't long enough, baby
But I'm gonna love you as long as I live
And maybe I can't give you diamonds
And things like I want to
But I can promise you, baby
I'm gonna want to as long as I live
Well, I never cared, now I'm scared
I won't live long enough
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains
And eat an apple every day, see the doctor anyway
What if I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Long as I promise you, baby
I'm gonna love you as long I live
I'm gonna love you, love you
Love you long as I live
Just long as I live
Love you as long as I live
Yeah, I'm gonna love you, love you, love you long as I live
I'm gonna love you, love you, I'm gonna love you
Whenever skies look grey to me
And trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds
Begin to blow
I concentrate on you
When fortune cries nay, nay to me
And people declare "You're through"
Whenever the blues becomes my only song
I concentrate on you
On your smile to sweet so tender
When first my kiss you deny
On the love in your eyes
When you surrender
And once again our arms entertwine
And so when wise men say to me
That loves young dreams never come true
To prove that even wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you.

I never learned to spell,
At least not well.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
I never learned to count,
A great amount.
But my busy mind is burning to use what learning I've got,
I won't waste any time,
I'll strike while the iron is hot.
If they asked me, I could write a book
About the way you walk, and whisper, and look.
I could write a preface
On how we met
So the world would never forget.
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you a lot.
And the world discovers
As my book ends,
How to make two lovers
Of friends.

Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't go no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me peppie,
I can't get happy
Since my ever loving baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
At words poetic I'm so pathetic
That I always have found it best
Instead of getting 'em off my chest,
To let 'em rest - unexpressed.
I hate parading my serenading,
As I'll probably miss a bar,
But if this ditty is not so pretty,
At least it'll tell you how great you are.
You're the top! you're the Collosseum,
You're the top! you're the Louvre Museum,
You're the melody from a symphony by Strauss,
You're a Bendel bonnet,
A Shakespeare Sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse!
You're the Nile! You're the Tow'r of Pisa,
You're the smile, on the Mona Lisa!
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop!
But if baby I'm the bottom,
You're the top!
You're the top, you're Mahatma Gandhi,
You're the top! you're Napoleon brandy,
You're the purple light, of a summer night in Spain,
You're the National Gallery, you're Garbo's salary,
You're cellophane!
You're sublime, you're a turkey dinner,
You're the time, of the Derby Winner,
I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop;
But if baby I'm by the bottom you're the top!
You're the top, you're a Waldorf salad
You're the top, you're a Berlin ballad
You're the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire
You're an O'Neal drama, you're Whistler's mama, you're
camembert
You're a rose, you're inferno's Dante
You're the nose, on the great Durante
I'm a lazy lout who's just about to stop
But if baby I'm the bottom,
Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening?
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man
But you can do the job
When you're in town
Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The Eskimo way
This is the moment I thought I never could live through
But now somehow that it's here, my dear, that foolish fear disappears
And saying goodbye seem sweet
It's plan that fate didn't want us on a one way street
Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along
Forget about me
Be happy, my love
Let's say that our little show is over
And so the story ends
Why not call it a day? A sensible way
And still be friends
Look out for yourself
Should be the rule
Give your heart and your love to whomever you love
Don't be a fool
Darling, why should you cling
To some fading thing that used to be?
If you can't forget
Don't worry 'bout me
Look out for yourself
Should always be the rule
Give your heart and your love to whomever you love
Don't be a fool
Darling, why, why should you cling
To some fading thing that used to be?
If you can't forget, if you can't forget
When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep
Counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep
Counting my blessings
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep
Counting your blessings
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep
Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York, it spells the thrill of first-
nighting.
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of
steel;
they’re making me feel: I’m home.
It’s autumn in New York that brings the promise of new
love.
Autumn in New York is often mingled with pain.
Dreamers with empty hands may sigh for exotic lands;
It’s autumn in New York;
It’s good to live it again.
Autumn in New York, the gleaming rooftops at sundown
Autumn in New York, it lifts you up when you’re let down
jaded roués and gay divorces who lunch at the Ritz
will tell you that it’s devine
It’s autumn in New York transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York, you’ll need no castle in Spain
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York,
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
Free and easy, that's my style
Howdy-do me, watch me smile
Fare-thee-well me after a while
'Cause I gotta roam
And any place I hang my hat is home
Sweetenin' water, cherry wine
Thank you kindly, suits me fine
Kansas City, Caroline
That's my honeycomb
'Cause any place I hang my hat is home
Birds roostin' in a tree
Pick up and go, and the goin' proves
That's how it oughta be
I pick up too when the spirit moves me
(I go where it behoves me**)
Cross the river, 'round the bend
"Hello stranger!", "So long friend!"
There's a voice in the lonesome wind
That keeps whisp'ring, "Roam!"
I'm going where a welcome mat is
No matter where that is
I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand
I will understand, always, always
Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but, always
Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
A woman likes to be told
That her hair is fine as gold
She may know that you're her fella
But it's better when you tell her
A woman likes to be told
A woman's funny that way
Clings to every word you say
If it's something sweet and gentle
She'll grow soft and sentimental
And kiss all your worries away
So if you think her smile is warm as summer
Don't ya ever keep it from her
For many a faint heart has been broken
For the want of a word unspoken
A woman likes to be told
That she never will grow old
And the more you say you love her
More and more you will discover
A woman likes to be told
So if you think her smile is warm as summer
Don't ya ever keep it from her
For many a faint heart has been broken
For want of a word unspoken
A woman likes to be told
That she never will grow old
And the more you say you love her
More and more you will discover
I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
CHORUS
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed,
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think perhaps that love, like youth, is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh, so glad we met the second time around
I feel a sudden urge to sing the kind of ditty that invokes the Spring
So, control your desire to curse while I crucify the verse
This verse I've started seems to me the "Tin Pan-tithesis" of melody
So to spare you all the pain, I'll skip the darn thing and sing the refrain
The night is young, the skies are clear
And if you want to go walkin', dear
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
I understand the reason why
You're sentimental, 'cause so am I
It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely
You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance
You can hear, dear Mother Nature murmuring low "Let yourself go"
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss ya, just say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delectable, it's delirious,
It's dilemma, it's de limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"
You can tell at a glance what a swell night this is for romance
You can hear dear Mother Nature murmuring low "Let yourself go"
So please be sweet, my chickadee
And when I kiss ya, just say to me
"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's delectable, it's delirious,
It's dilemma, it's de limit, it's deluxe, it's de-lovely"
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 crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
Dearest one
I write what I'm afraid to speak,
I'm weak when I'm with you,
Tears of love are causing
All the ink to blot
So what am I to do?
Hoping to find the phrases,
Groping to find each word,
How they all burn like blazes,
Now they all seem absurd.
Though I don't know where to end
And to begin
You must give in because
I'm yours sincerely,
The one who loves you dearly,
To think about it nearly takes
My breath away.
Very truly
My passion is unruly,
A dream of you is newly born
Each night and day.
Oh but my thoughts are fervent,
How can I make them play?
Ever your humble servant
Faithfully I remain.
I'm intending
To find a happy ending
Because I love you dearly
I'm sincerely yours.
I hear singing and there's no one there.
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare.
All day long I seem to walk on air.
I wonder why, I wonder why.
I keep tossing in my bed at night.
And what's more, I've lost my appetite.
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes.
I wonder why.
You don't need analyzing
'Cause it's not so surprising
That you feel very strange, but nice.
Your heart goes pitter patter.
I know just what's the matter
I've been there once or twice.
Put your head on my shoulder.
You need someone who's older,
A rubdown with a velvet glove.
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache.
You're not sick, you're just in love.
You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burnin' above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love
You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be awful nice by the fire
While the breeze up on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burnin' up there above
You'd be so nice, just like paradise
To come home to and love
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
And once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You had what I lack, myself
Now I even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
Well why don't you love me like you used to do
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Ain't had no lovin like a huggin and a kissin in a long long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile
Why don't you spark me like you used to do
Andy say sweet nothings like you used to coo
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been thru
So why don't you love me like you used to do
Well why don't you be just like you used to be
How come you find so many faults with me
Somebody's changed so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Ain't had no lovin like a huggin' and a kissin' in a long long while
We don't get nearer or further or closer than a country mile.
Why don't you say the things you used to say
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue.
Why don't you love me like you used to do.
And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs
I watch the planes go by
The children running home
Beneath a twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them
And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go
I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see October go
What'll I do?
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?
What'll I do?
When I am wond'ring 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?
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?
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
Just what is this thing called love?
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lawd in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?
The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There ain't nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to
The top of the hill
But since we're on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride
The secret of love is in opening up your heart
It's okay to feel afraid
But don't let that stand in your way
'Cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since we're only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile
Isn't it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Now the thing about time is that time
Isn't really real
It's just your point of view
How does it feel for you
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race
Some kind of lovely ride
I'll be sliding down
I'll be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Isn't it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
It's just a lovely ride
Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter,
The winds grow colder,
And suddenly you're older
And all because of
The man that got away.
No more his eager call,
The writing's on the wall,
The dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray.
The man that won you
Has run off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen it's final inning,
Don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game.
No more that all-time thrill
For you've been through the mill,
And never a new love will
Be the same.
Good riddance, good-bye.
Every trick of his you're on to -
But fools will be fools and where's he gone to?
The road gets rougher,
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up,
Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no letup
The livelong night and day.
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man that got away . . .
The road gets rougher,
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up,
Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no letup
The livelong night and day.
Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man
The man that got away . . .
It's the last dance, we've come to the last dance
They're dimming the lights down, they're hoping we'll go
It's obvious they're aware of us, the pair of us, alone on the floor
Still I want to hold you like this forever and more
It the last song, they're playing the last song
The orchestra's yawning, they're sleepy I know
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
Save me the first dance in your dreams tonight
They're wondering just when will we leave, but till we leave, keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight
Hide your heart from sight, lock your dreams at night
It could happen to you
Don't count stars or you might stumble
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble
Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me
Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me
What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' something sweet
It ain't the melody, it ain't the music
There's something else that makes the tune complete
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
It makes no diff'rence if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got
They say into your early life romance came
And this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then, with disilution 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?
No, sophisticated lady,
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry
When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me,
You can bet as sure as you live,
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.
When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine,
Don't say no because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gonna be kissed.
So, en garde, who knows what the Fates have in store,
From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignoring those lips I adore,
But how long can anyone try?
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight it with all of our might,
Chances are some heavenly star spangled night,
We'll find out as sure as we live,
Something's gotta give, something's gotta give,
Something's gotta give.
Under the moonlight
Out on the hill
I hear the call of a lone whip-poor-will
He's got no love bird
to sit on his knee
And I got no darlin'
so lonesome are we:
CHORUS:
Poor Whip-Poor-Will
We're both up a tree
Move over! Move Over!
And make room for me
Poor Whip-Poor-Will
How blue can we be?
Move over! Move Over!
And make room for me.
I had a sweetheart
Sweet as could be
Last night she said
she'd go walkin' with me
True she went walkin'
but with some one new
And that's why I'm lonesome
and feelin like you:
Don't throw bouquets at me, don't please my folks too much,
Don't laugh at my jokes too much, people will say we're in love.
Don't sigh and gaze at me, your sighs are so like mine,
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine, people will say we're in love.
Don't start collecting things, give me my rose and my glove,
Sweetheart, they're suspecting things, people will say we're in love.
Don't praise my charm to much, don't look so vain with me,
Don't stand in the rain with me, people will say we're in love.
Don't take my arm too much, don't keep your hand in mine,
You hand feels go grand in mine, people will say we're in love.
Don't dance all night with me, till the stars fade out of sight,
They'll see it's alright with me, people will say we're in love.
What is there to write, what is there to say?
Same things happen ev'ry day;
Not a thing to write, not a thing to say,
So I take my pen in hand and start the same old way.
Dear, I thought I'd drop a line,
The weather's cool, the folks are fine;
I'm in bed each night at nine, P.S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain,
But all in all I can't complain;
Was it dusty on the train?
P.S. I love you.
Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able,
They came around to call;
I burned a hole in the dining room table,
And let me see, I guess that's all;
Nothing else for me to say,
And so I'll close, but by the way,
Ev'rybody's thinking of you.
P.S. I love you.
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullabye
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where laughter falls like lemon drops away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
You're clear out of this world
When I'm looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew
You're right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was five
No armored knight out of a book
was more enchanted by a Loralei then I
After waiting so long
for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from long and lonely night time
And despite time, here you are
I cry, "Out of this world"
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way
All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree
And the little ole willow is laughin' at me
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an 'Ave' there for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
This moment, this minute
And each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by, it will never die
This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
And in my dreams, your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night
Like the lights of home before me
Or an angel, who's watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again
My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of may, no twinkling stars
No hide away, no softly guitars
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a thing but you
I used to fall
In love with all
Those boys who call
On young cuties
But now I find
I'm all inclined
To keep my mind
On my duties
Since I've begun to share
In such a sweet love affair
Though I'm in love, I'm not above
A date with a duke or a caddie
It's just a pose, 'cause my baby knows
That my heart belongs to daddy
When some good scout, invites me out
To dine om some fine fin and haddie
My baby's sure, his love is secure
Cause my heart belongs to daddy
Yes my heart belongs to daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes I'm gonna marry daddy
Da-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad
If you feel romantic laddy
Let me warn you right from the start
That my heart belongs to daddy
And my daddy belongs to my heart
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 in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When she woke up and found that her dream of love was 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 love down, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam,
They strung her upon the old 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.
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
In the still of the night
As I gaze out of my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray, stray to you
In the still of the night
While the world lies in slumber
Oh the times without number
When I say to you
Do you love me
Just like I love you
Are you my life to be
That dream come true
Or will this dream of mine
Will it fade way out of sight
Just like that moon growing dim
Way out on the rim of the hill
In the still of the night
Summer journeys to Niag'ra
and to other places aggravate all our cares.
We'll save our fares!
I've a cozy little flat in
what is known as old Manhattan
we'll settle down
right here in town!
We'll have Manhattan
the Bronx and Staten Island too.
It's lovely going through the zoo!
It's very fancy on old Delancy street you know.
The subway charms us so when balmy breezes blow to and fro.
And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.
The great big city's a wonderous toy just made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
We'll go to Yonkers where true love conquers
In the whiles And starve together dear, in Chiles
We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close, some day
The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy!
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy.
Love, look away! Love look away from me
Fly when you pass my door, fly and get lost at sea.
Call it a day, love, let us say we're through.
No good are you for me, no good am I for you.
Wanting you so, I try too much; after you go, I cry too much.
Love, look away, Lonely though I may be, leave me and set me free
Love look away from me, look away, look away look away from me,
When you were very young
The world was younger than you
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was thrilling
With every star in the sky
Above the rings you loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone is the silver and gold
Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl you're through
Just sit there, and count your little fingers
Unhappy litle girl blue
Sit there, and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
That all you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl
You might as well surrender
Your hopes are getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender little boy
To cheer up little girl blue?
Lately, I find myself gazing at stars, hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me, mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove, and feeling like someone in love.
As Dorothy Parker once said
To her boyfriend, "fare thee well"
As Columbus announced
When he knew he was bounced,
"It was swell, Isabel, swell"
As Abelard said to Eloise,
"Don't forget to drop a line to me, please"
As Juliet cried, in her Romeo's ear,
"Romeo, why not face the fact, my dear"
It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things
Just one of those things
Imagination is funny, it makes a cloudy day sunny
Makes a bee think of honey just as I think of you
Imagination is crazy, your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy "What to do, what to do?"
Have you ever felt a gentle touch and then a kiss
And then and then, find it's only your imagination again?
Oh, well
Imagination is silly, you go around willy-nilly
For example I go around wanting you
And yet I can't imagine that you want me, too
Cathedral bells were tolling
and our hearts rang on,
Was it the spell of Paris,
or the April dawn?
Who knows if we shall meet again
but when the morning chimes ring
sweet again......
CHORUS
I'll be seeing you in all of your familiar
places that this heart of mine embraces
all day through. In that small cafe, the park
across the way, the children's carousel, the
chestnut tree, the wishing well.
I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's
day, in everything that's night and day,
I'll always think of you that way.
I'll find you in the morning sun,
and when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be seeing you.
~Trumpet Solo~
I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's
day, in everything that's night and day,
I'll always think of you that way.
I'll find you in the morning sun,
and when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
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'd tried so not to give in.
I said to myself: this affair never will go so well.
But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so
well
I've got you under my skin?
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of a warnin' voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
But each time that I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
(Musical interlude)
I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of havin' you near
In spite of the warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats - how it yells in my ear:
Don't you know, little fool, you never can win?
Why not use your mentality - step up, wake up to
reality?
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light
I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low
I'm beginning to see the light
Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light
Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now
I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine
But now that your lips are burning mine
Seems that I read, or somebody said
That out of sight is out of mind,
Maybe that' so but I tried to go
And leave you behind, what did I find?
I took a trip on the train and I thought about you,
I passed a shadowy lane and I thought about you,
Two or three cars parked under the stars,
A winding stream,
Moon shining down on some little town,
And with each beam, same old dream,
At ev'ry stop that we made, oh, I thought about you,
But when I pulled down the shade, then I really felt blue,
I peeked through the crack and looked at the track,
The one going back to you, and what did I do?
I thought about you!
I only saw him once as he came passing by
but I know that I will love him 'til the day I die
I don't know where he comes from
and I blush with shame
for I must confess
that I don't even know his name
There was something in his smile
when he looked at me, and then,
there was something in my heart
that knew he'd come my way again.
I only saw him once as he came passing by
but I know that I will love him 'til the day I die.
I only saw him once as he came passing by
but I know that I will love him 'til the day I die!
I don't know where he comes from,
No one knows his name
but I must confess
that he has set my heart aflame!
There was something in his smile
when he looked at me, and then,
there was something in my heart
that knew he'd come my way again.
I only saw him once as he came passing by.
But I know that I will love him 'til the day I die.
"Romance is a game for fools", I used to say;
A game I thought I'd never play.
"Romance is a game for fools", I said and grinned;
Then you passed by, and here am I
Throwing caution to the wind.
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 there's 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;
In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over,
I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet,
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade.
It's the wonder of the world, It's a rocket to the moon
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Here's to my best romance, Here's to my worst romance
Here's to my first romance - ages ago
Here's to the boys I've kissed, and to complete the list
Here's to the boys who said "No!"
Love, love, hooray for love
Who was ever too blase for love
Make this the night for love
If we have to fight, let's fight for love
Some sigh and cry for love
Ah, but in Pa-ree they die for love
Some waste away for love
Just the same - hooray for love!
It's the rocket to the moon, with a touch of "Clare de Lune"
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Some trust to fate for love,
Others have to take off weight for love
Some go berzerk for love
Loafers even go to work for love
Sad songs are sobbed for love
People have their noses bobbed for love
Some say we pay for love
Just the same - hooray for love!
You told me that there wasn't a lesson in lovin' you hadn't learned.
Oh yeah? Oh yeah?
You told me that you keep playin' with fire without getting burned.
Oh yeah? Oh yeah?
So you met someone who set you back on your heels,
Goody goody!
So you met someone and now you know how it feels,
Goody goody!
So you gave him your heart too just as I gave mine to you
And you broke it in little pieces, now how do you do?
So you lie awake just singing the blues all night,
Goody goody!
So you think that love's a barrel of dynamite.
Hooray and hallelujah! You had it comin' to ya.
Goody goody for him, goody goody for me,
And I hope you're satisfied, you rascal you.
Glow, little glow-worm, fly of fire, glow like an incandescent wire,
Glow for the female of the specie, turn on the A-C and the D-C;
This night could use a little brightnin', light up, you li'l ol' bug of lightnin',
When you gotta glow, you gotta glow, glow little glow-worm, glow.
Glow, little glow-worm, glow and glimmer,
Swim through the sea of night, little swimmer,
Thou aer-o-nau-tic-al boll weevil, il-lu-mi-nate yon woods primeval;
See how the shadows deep and darken,
You and your chick should get to sparkin'.
I got a gal that I love so, glow little glow-worm glow.
Glow, little glow-worm, turn the key on, you are equipped with tail light neon;
You got a cute vest-pocket Mazda which you can make both slow or "Fazda".
I don't know who you took a shine to, or who you're out to make a sign to.
I got a gal that I love so, glow little glow-worm glow
Get out of town
Before it's too late my love
Get out of town
Be good to me please
Why wish me harm
Why not retire to a farm
And be contented to charm
The birds off the trees
Just disappear
I care for you much too much
And when you're near, close to me dear
We touch too much
The thrill when we meet is so bittersweet
That darling, it's getting me down
So on your mark get set
Get out of town
Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' 'cross the river
Gonna wash our sins in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' 'cross the river
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side
We're headin' 'cross the river
Wash our sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase your cares away!!
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
Call me irresponsible - call me unreliable, throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you, well I'm not too clever - I just adore you
Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impractical, rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliable,
But it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you
Love is funny or it's sad
Or it's quiet or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful
Beautiful to take a chance and if you fall, you fall
And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all
Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know.
Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But it's beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June,
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured "someday soon."
We kissed and clung together,
Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say;
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love,
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil.
Botch-a-me, I'll-botcha you and ev'rything goes crazy
Bah-bah, botch-a-me, bambino
Bah-bah-bo, bo, boca piccolino
When you kiss me and I'm a-kissa you
Tra la la la la la la la la loo
Bah-bah, botch-a-me, my baby
Bah-bah-bo, bo, just say "Yes" and maybe
If-a you squeeze me and I'm a-squeeza you
Tra la la la la la la la la loo
Bee-oo, bye-oh, bee-oo, boo
Won't you botch-a-, botch-a-me?
Bee-oo, bye-oh, bee-oo, boo
When you botch-a-me, I a-botcha you and ev'rything goes crazy
Bah-bah, botch-a-me, bambino
Bah-bah-bo, bo, boca piccolino
And then we will raise a great big family
Tra la la la la la la la la lee
