Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra, /sɨˈnɑːtrə/, (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer and film actor.
Beginning his musical career in the swing era with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became an unprecedentedly successful solo artist in the early to mid-1940s, after being signed to Columbia Records in 1943. Being the idol of the "bobby soxers", he released his first album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra in 1946. His professional career had stalled by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1953 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity.
He signed with Capitol Records in 1953 and released several critically lauded albums (such as In the Wee Small Hours, Songs for Swingin' Lovers, Come Fly with Me, Only the Lonely and Nice 'n' Easy). Sinatra left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise Records in 1961 (finding success with albums such as Ring-a-Ding-Ding!, Sinatra at the Sands and Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim), toured internationally, was a founding member of the Rat Pack and fraternized with celebrities and statesmen, including John F. Kennedy. Sinatra turned 50 in 1965, recorded the retrospective September of My Years, starred in the Emmy-winning television special Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music, and scored hits with "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way".
Plot
In the last days of the life of Elvis Presley, he struggles to overcome the effects on his body and soul of prescription drug abuse and personal mistakes in his lifestyle. In flashback sequences similar to Dickens's "A Christmas Carol", Elvis is guided by a "Mysterious Man" to re-examine turning points in the life he has led. These reflections lead to recognition, realization, repentance, and ultimately ... redemption. -- based on true events

Razors and combs,

at my beck and call!
In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world is fast asleep,
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never, ever think of counting sheep.
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss her most of all.
(Musical interlude)
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
You, you're driving me crazy! What did I do? What did I do?
My tears for you make everything hazy, clouding the skies of blue
How true, were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe, me they knew, but you
Were the one who would hurt me, desert me
When I needed you
You've got a hold on me
You've got that magic hold on me
When I'm alone now, I wonder
What is this power I'm under?
You cast a spell on me
That moment heaven fell on me
You've got a hold on me
What can I do
But always hold on to you
You cast a spell on me
That moment heaven fell on me
You've got a hold on me
What can I do
But always hold on to you
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more.
Some day soon we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through some how.
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
and presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas

Frosted windowpanes
Candies gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and me
It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say,
Merry Christmas,
May your New Year dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
the same thing, too
Hark! the herald angels sing, -
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled."
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
Christ, by highest heav'n adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veil'd in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, th'incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
Hail! the heav'n-born Prince of peace!
Hail! the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die:
Born to raise the sone of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents
Countrysides covered with snow
Oh, by gosh, by jingle
It's time for carols and Kris Kringle
Overeating, merry greetings
From relatives you don't know
Then comes that big night,
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a Yuletide hymn
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.
Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats, O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.
O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.
For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace their King
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
cho: Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
When love comes again, I'll make it stay,
I won't be a fool and send it away,
How could I know that I'd want you so after we said goodbye.
It's hard to believe that we're really through,
It's hard to conceive my world without you.
I thought I'd wait and now it's too late,
My song of love is a sigh.
Though I've tried to keep the tears inside,
You just can't put aside a heart in pain.
People say the teardrops seldom say,
That hearts that cry today may love again.
So I'll just go on dreaming my dreams
And maybe someday, as strange as it seems,
My heart will sing and I'll know it's spring,
When love comes again.
(When love comes again, I'll make it stay,)
(I won't be a fool and send it away,)
(How could I know that I'd want you so after we said goodbye.)
[It's hard to believe we're really through,]

You're all that I've looked for, you really fill the bill.
I know that I'm hooked on, I wouldn't feel so still.
You're high class, you're my class, you're the gal who captivates.
Don't be one who hesitates, how my heart accelerates.
You're stunning, you're cunning, you got me all aflame,
I'll woo ya, pursue ya, I'll make you change your name.
The future will suit ya, I know that you'll be satisfied.
And I'll be happy to reside with you.
[You're all that I've looked for], (you really fill the bill).

This is something new to me when you, ooh, coo to me.
Ooh what you do to me, bop! Goes my heart.
Lips as sweet as muscatel make me jingle like a bell,
Then comes that dizzy spell, oh bop! Goes my heart.
Jumping with rhythm and romance, lit up like a Christmas tree,
Going around in circles, I ain't a square that I used to be.
Something new to shout about, must be love without a doubt.
Baby, you just knocked me out, bop, bop! Goes my heart.
(instrumental)
Got the gonest feeling all on account of you,
When I get this feeling, don't know what to do, what to do.
This is something new to me when you ooh, you coo to me.
Odelibop, ooh what you do to me, bop! Goes my heart.
Lips as sweet as muscatel make me jingle like a bell,
Then comes that dizzy spell, oh bop! Goes my heart.
Jumping with rhythm and romance, lit up like a Christmas tree,
Going around in circles, I ain't a square that I used to be.
Something new to shout about, must be love without a doubt.
(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)
(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)
Her eyes were softer than the night, her lips were honey and wine
And oh I love her more than life, I worship this love of mine.
(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)
(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)
I worshipped her so blindly till I was told one day,
For love of gold, my true love sold, sold her heart away.
(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)
(Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo, oo oo oo oo oo oo oo)
The love that I had idolized has sold her heart away,
Too late, too late, I realized my idol had feet of clay.

Somewhere waitin' for me

And watches the ships that go sailin'
Somewhere beyond the sea

It's near beyond the moon

Happy we'll be, beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'

Something wonderful happens in summer
When the sky is a heavenly blue
You fall in love - you fall in love
With someone who loves you too
Something wonderful happens in summer
When the moon makes you feel all aglow
You fall in love - you fall in love
You want the whole world to know
You carve initials on a tree
You kiss and exchange a ring
June and July go by
Your heart sings: "ting-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling"
Something wonderful happens in summer
And it happens to only a few
But when it does - yes when it does

I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"

If she rides around in a brand new foreign car

If the lady's utterly charming
If the lady's chummy with kings
If her whims are close to alarming
And it's known she's thrown a few things
If they've got a drink with her name in Jilly's bar
The chances are the lady's a star
If her smallest party is really expensive
With tons of expensive caviar
If the lady is someone with the same credentials
Someone with the same essentials
Someone who is worshipped from afar
She's a genuine - positive - totally - marvelous - perfectly - wonderful
Speak low when you speak, love
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Song sung blue, everybody knows one
Song sung blue, every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when ya take the blues and make a song
Ya sing 'em out again
Song sung blue, weepin' like a willow
Song sung blue, sleepin' on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it starts to feelin' good
Ya simply got no choice
(Song sung blue), everybody knows one
(Song sung blue), every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when ya take the blues and make a song
Ya sing 'em out again
(Song sung blue), weepin' like a willow
(Song sung blue), sleepin' on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, it starts to feelin' good
Somewhere in your heart
Try to find a place for me,
Somewhere in your heart
I don't care where it might be.
One little corner
May not mean that much to you,
But one little corner
Will be enough to see me through.
Somewhere in your dreams
Let my lips come close to you,
Though they're only dreams
Someday they may all come true.
Is it so much to ask
For such a tiny part?
Won't you save a place for me,
Gratia plena

Come they told me (pa-rum pum pum pum)
A newborn King to see (pa-rum pum pum pum)
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King
So to honor Him (pa-rum pum pum pum)
when we come
Little Baby (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I am a poor boy too (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I have no gift to bring (pa-rum pum pum pum)
that's fit to give our King
Shall I play for You? (pa-rum pum pum pum)
On my drum
Mary nodded (pa-rum pum pum pum)
The ox and lamb kept time (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I played my drum for Him (pa-rum pum pum pum)
I played my best for Him
Then He smiled at me (pa-rum pum pum pum)
Go on your way with the cloudless blue sky above
May all your days be a wonderful song of love
Open your arms and sing of all the hidden hopes you'll ever treasure
And live out your life in peace
Where shall I look for the love to replace you
Someone to light up my life
Someone with strange little ways
Eyes like a blue autumn haze
Someone with your laughing style
And a smile that I know will keep haunting me endlessly
Sometimes in stars or the swift flight of seabirds
I catch a moment of you
Thats why I walk all alone
Searching for something unknown
Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du
Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du Du
I´m singin´ in the rain
Just singin´ in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
And I´m happy again.
I´m laughing at clouds
So dark, up above,
The sun´s in my heart
And I´m ready for love.
Let the stormy clouds chase.
Everyone from the place,
Come on with the rain
I have a smile on my face.
I´ll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin', singin' in the rain.
Dancing in the rain.
I'm happy again.
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain.
Dancin' and singin' in the rain.
Younger than springtime are you
Softer than starlight are you
Warmer than winds of June
Are the gentle lips you gave me
Gayer than laughter are you
Sweeter than music are you
Sunlight and moon beans
Heaven and earth
Are you to give me
And when your youth and joy
Invade my soul
And fill my heart
As now they do, then
Younger than springtime am I
Gayer than laughter am I
Sunlight and moon beans
Heaven and earth
My heart tells me this is just a fling
And yet you say our love means everything
Do you mean what you are saying
Or is this a little game you're playing?
My heart tells me I will cry again
Lips that kiss like yours could lie again
If I'm fool enough to see this through, will I
Be sorry if I do? Should I believe my heart or you?
My heart tells me I will cry again
'Cause lips that kiss like yours could lie again
If I'm fool enough to see this through, will I
O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties above thy fruited plain!
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
(O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years)
(Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears)
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea

Don't ever be afraid to go home,
Don't ever be afraid to go home,
When you've hitched your wagon to a fast falling star,
And the last string is broken on your love-sick guitar,
Whatever you're doing and wherever you are,
Don't ever be afraid, don't ever be afraid to go home,
I used to be afraid to go home.
But one day, I was made to go home,
Now I was almost certain they would lock the door on me,
'Cause I'm that sour apple on my old family tree.
But folks who really love me made me welcome as could be,
Don't ever be afraid, don't ever be afraid to go home.
I used to be afraid to go home.
But one day, I was made to go home,
Now I was almost certain they would lock the door on me,
Cause I'm the sour apple on my old family tree.
But the folks who really love me made me welcome as could be,
Don't ever be afraid, don't you ever be afraid,
From ages to ages the poets and sages,
Of love glorious love always sing,
But ask any lover and you'll soon discover,
The heartaches that romance can bring,
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
Alone from night to night you'll find me too weak to break the chains that bind me.
I need no shackles to remind me, I'm just a prisoner of love.
For one command, I stand and wait now from one who's master of my fate now.
I can't escape for it's too late now, I'm just a prisoner of love.
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me.
Although she has another, I can't find another for I'm not free.
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping, upon my knees to her I'm creeping,
Look at me
I'm an 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
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
You can say...
Yesterdays
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine
And truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine
The truth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
I can only give you love that lasts forever
And the 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 who 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 wond'ring 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,
I must confess what you say is true
I had a rendez-vous with somebody new
(But) That's the only one I ever had
Baby, baby, don'cha go 'way mad
Cheatin' shows and it never goes
You've got a reason to be mad I suppose
But she only was a passing fad
Baby, don'cha be mad
Her kind's a dime a dozen
And that's not the kind I want (I should have past her by)
Who'd ever dream your cousin
Would wander in to that restaurant (Would come along and give us the eye)
I understand that you feel (you're quite) upset
What do you say that you forgive and forget
Come on and kiss me just to show your glad
Baby, baby (baby, baby.....) don'cha go 'way mad
Ain't she sweet? See her walking down that street.
Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain't she sweet?
Ain't she nice? Look her over once or twice.
Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain't she nice?
Just cast an eye in her direction, oh me oh my, ain't that perfection?
I repeat, well, don't you think that's kinda neat?
Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain't she sweet?
(Instrumental break)
(Repeat all)
(Repeat 1 with last two lines as:)
Just cast an eye in her direction, oh me oh me oh my, ain't that perfection?
I repeat, well, don't you think that's kinda neat?
You made your bed, now lie in it
You masochist of mayhem
This mortal coil is up for grabs
Danger forever
I would swear that there must be
A thousand personalities inside you head
I would swear that there must be
A thousand possibilities to mend you heart
Now take these words and tie them up
And give them back, give them back
For I
I see you, I hear you
I feel you, I love you
You call collect and I reject
Your foul abuse and your language
Where's your sense of etiquette?
Can't you assess the damage?
I would swear that there must be
A thousand personalities inside your head
I would swear that there must be
A row of possibilities to mend our hearts
Now take these tears and cry them in
Your pillow dear and I'll be near
For I
I see you, I hear you
I feel you, I love you
Ooh, take these tears
Ooh, away from your love
Take these tears
Ooh, away from your love
I would swear that there must be
A thousand personalities inside you head
I would swear that there must be
A thousand possibilities to mend our hearts
Now take these tears and cry them in
Your pillow dear and I'll be near
For I
I see you, I hear you
I feel you, I love you
Take these tears
Away from your love
Take these tears
Ooh, away from your love
Take these tears
I see you, I hear you
I feel you, love you
I see you, I hear you
I feel you, love you
la la la la la la la la
So you met someone who set you back on your heals - goody, goody
So you met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody
so you gave him your heart too
Just as I gave mine to you
And he broke it in little pieces
And now how do you do
You lie awake just singing the blues all night - goody, goody
And you think that loves a barrel of dynamite
Hooray and hallelujah
You had it coming to y'a
Goody goody for him, goody goody goody for me
I hope your satisfied you rascal you
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
O why should I have spring fever
When it isn't even spring
I keep wishing I were someone else
Walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that I've never head
From a girl I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams
Spinning spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring
It might as
Well be
I hadn't anyone
Till you
I was a lonely one
Till you
I used to lie awake and wonder
If there could be
A someone in this wide world
Just made for me
And now I see
I had to save my love
For you
I never gave my love
Till you
And through my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadn't anyone
Till you
And through my lonely heart demanding it
Cupid took a hand in it
I hadn't anyone
Writers: Latouche/Fetter/Duke
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 grove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
She's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have her charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Loves the same old sensation
Lately I've not slept one wink
Since this silly situation
Put me on the blink
I am wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I?
I couldn't sleep, wouldn't sleep
Love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I?
I lost my heart, but what of it
Don't you know the man is cold, I agree
She might laugh but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I will sing to her, bring spring to her
And long for the day when I cling to her
The summer wind, came blowin' in - from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair- and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind
Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin' by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
And I lost you, i lost you to the summer wind
The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
the summer wind
warm summer wind
What now my love?
now that you left me
How can I live,
live through another day?
Watching my dreams
turned to ashes
And my hopes
turning to bits of clay
Once I could see,
once I could feel
Now I am numb,
I’ve become unreal
I walk the night, without a goal
Stripped off my heart, my soul
What now my love?
now that it’s over
I feel the world
it’s closing in on me
Here come the stars,
tumbling around me
There's the sky,
where that sea should be
What now my love?
now that you're gone
I’d be a fool to go on and on
No one would care,
no one would cry
If I should live
if I should live or die
What now my love?
now there is nothing
Only my last, my last good-bye
Bye-bye
What now my love, now there is nothing
The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
But when the twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue as the sky
Since love is gone, can't pull myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Friends ask me out, I tell them I'm busy
I must get a new alibi
I stay at home, and ask myself: "Who is he?"
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Hanging on a string of dreams
Fly little memories, my little memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes
Somebody said, just forget about her
So I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
Start spreading the news
I am leaving today
I want to be a part of it
New York, New York
These vagabond shoes
They are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in that city
That doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
My little town blues
They are melting away
I gonna make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York, New York
I want to wake up in that city
That never sleeps
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the list
Head of the heap
King of the hill
These are little town blues
They have all melted away
I am about to make a brand new start of it
Right there in old New York
And you bet [Incomprehensible] baby
If I can make it there
You know, I'm gonna make it just about anywhere
Come on, come through
London by night is a wonderful sight
There is magic abroad in the air
I'm often told that the streets turn to gold
When the moon shines on * Circus and Square *
Deep in the dark that envelops the park
There's romance in each cigarette glow
Down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems
Seem to wink at each girl and her beau
Up comes the moon when the city's asleep
He's not alone, for it seems
Somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her watch
While each Londoner dreams
My love and I saw the sun leave the sky
Then we kissed in the fast-fading light
Most people say they love London by day
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves, a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Icy finger waves
Ski trails on a mountainside
Snowlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely...
Evening summer breeze
Warbling of a meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont
`twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flow'rs bloomin' round her
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri
Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a sweet word o'love?"
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a lovely meatball on her finger
'twas goodbye at the Villa Capri
Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a fine word o'love?"
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
'twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri
'twas goodbye on the Isle of Capri
It's very nice to go trav'ling
To Paris London and Rome
It's oh so nice to go trav'ling
But it's so much nicer, yes it's so much nicer, to come home
It's very nice to just wander
The camel route to Iraq
It's oh so nice to just wander
But it's so much nicer, yes it's oh so nice, to wander back
The mam'selles and frauleins, and the senoritas are sweet
But they can't compete 'cause they just don't have
What the models have, on Madison Ave.
It's very nice to be footloose
With just a toothbrush and comb
It's oh so nice to be footloose
But your heart starts singin' when your homeward wingin' across the foam
And you know your fate is
Where the Empire State is
All you contemplate is
The view from Miss Liberty's dome
It's very nice to go trav'ling
But it's oh so nice to come home
You will find the maiden and the gay muchachas are rare
But they can't compare with that sexy line
That parades each day at Sunset and Vine
It's quite the life to play gypsy
And roam as Gipsies will roam
It's quite the life to play gypsy
But your heart starts singin' when your homeward wingin' across the foam
And the Hudson River
Makes you start to quiver
Like the latest flivver
That's simply dripin' with crome
It's very nice to go trav'ling
Writer(s): Ahlert/Young
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say: ";I hope you're feeling better";
And close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit (right) down and write myself a letter
(And make believe it came, though I know it's not the same)
And (I'll) make believe (that) it came from you
Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly, long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
(Softly, long before you kiss me)
(Long before your arms can beg me stay)
(For one more hour) or one more day
After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there (Take out the second I)
The bells, the bells, ringing everywhere for the sound of Christmas is in the air,
The bells, the bells, from the steeple above, telling us it's the season of love,
Ring out, let the tale be told that inspires the dream of the young and old,
Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of Christmas are ringing.

Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of Christmas are ringing.
The bells, the bells, they've been here and now, to a world that almost forgotten how
The bells, the bells, from the steeple above, telling us it's the season of love.
Ring out, let the tale be told that inspires the dream of the young and old,
Love, love, let your hearts unfold, for the bells of Christmas are ringing.

Give me an old fashioned Christmas, an old fashioned Christmas,
Family faces, wide open spaces, covered with snow,
Right now my mom there in the kitchen, basting the Christmas bird,
You'll have to take my word, you can't find that at the automat.
An old fashioned fireplace, give me an old fashioned fireplace,
My heart remembers smoldering embers, warming your glow,
I'd trade that whole Manhattan skyline, the shimmering steel and chrome,
Singing carols, stringing popcorn, making footprints in the snow,
Memories, Christmas memories, they're the sweetest ones I know.
Cookies baking in the kitchen, cards and ribbons everywhere,
Memories, Christmas memories, float like snowflakes in the air.
Oh the joy of waking Christmas mornings, the family round the tree,
We had a way of making Christmas morning as merry as can be,
I close my eyes and see shining faces
Of all the children who now have children of their own
When I was a leaner
I sought truth night and day.
I asked our Lord to help me
And he showed me the way.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountain:
that Jesus Christ is born
He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall,
and if I am a christian,
I am the least of all
I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th' unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men."
Till ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
I look at you and suddenly,
Something in your eyes I see;
Soon begins bewitching me.
It's that old devil moon;
That you stole from the skies.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
You and you glance;
Make this romance;
Too hot to handle.
Stars in the night;
Blazing their light;
Can't hold a candle;
To your razzle-dazzle.
You've got me flyin' high and wide;
On a magic carpet ride;
Full of butterflies inside.
Wanna cry, wanna croon,
Wanna laugh like a loon.
It's that old devil moon in your eyes.
Just when I think, I'm;
Free as a dove.
Old devil moon,
Deep in your eyes,
Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' to make whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
And think what a year can bring
He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee
Another year or maybe less
Whats this I hear well can't you guess
He says he's busy and she says is he, he's makin whoopee
He doesn't have much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
says you'll give six to her
Now he says judge suppose I fail
The judge says boy right into jail
When all the songs are out of tune
And all the rhymes ring so untrue
When I can't find the words to say
Or the thoughts I long to bring to you
When I hear lonely singers
Who are just as lost as me
Making noise, not melody
Then you will be my music
You, you will be my song
Yes you, you will be my music
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong
I'll never find the words to tell you
All the things I need to say
And I'm afraid that as time goes by
That someday soon you'll go away
And I'll be lost and trying
Trying for songs I'll never sing
Wanting you, wanting you is everything
You will be my music
Yes, you will be my song
You will be my music
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
was looked on as something shocking.
Now heaven knows, anything goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words,
now only use four-letter words writing prose,
anything goes.
The world has gone mad today,
and good´s bad today, and black´s white today,
and day´s night today,
When most guys today that women prize today
are just silly gigolos.
So though I´m not a great romancer,
I know that you´re bound to answer
when I propose, anything goes.

This is my first affair - please be kind
Handle my heart with care - please be kind
This is all so grand
My dreams are on parade
If you'll just understand
They'll never, never fade
So tell me your love's sincere - please be kind
Tell me I needn't fear - please be kind
'Cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart - will lose its mind
Verse:
The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant
Fall in love and you won't regret it
That's the best work of all, if you can get it
Chorus:
Holding hands at midnight
'Neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strolling with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?
Loving one who loves you
And then taking that vow
It's nice work if you can get it
She walks like an angel walks,
she talks like an angel talks,
And her hair has a kind of curl,
to my mind, she's my kind of girl.
She's wise like an angel's wise,
with eyes like an angel's eyes,
And a smile like a kind of pearl,
to my mind, she's my kind of girl.
A pretty little face,
that face just knocks me off my feet,
A pretty little feet,
she's really sweet enough to eat.
She looks like an angel looks,
she cooks like an angel cooks,
And my mind in a kind of whirl,
to my mind, she's my kind of girl.
(full instrumental interlude)
Hmmm, pretty little face,
that face just knocks me off my feet,
Pretty little feet,
she's really sweet enough to eat.
She looks like an angel looks,
and she cooks like an angel cooks,
And my mind in a kind of whirl,
to my mind, she's my kind of girl.
And my hearts Kind-a full of joy
Because she's told me
Looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Looking at the world and everything that passes,
Seems of rosy hue somehow.
Why do I feel so spry, don't wink your eye,
Needn't guess I'll confess, certain someone just said yes.
In a bungalow all covered with roses, I will settle down I vow,
That's why I'm looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
(full instrumental interlude)
Oh yes, I'm looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Looking at the world and everything that passes,
Seems of rosy hue somehow.
Why do I feel so spry, don't wink your eye,
Needn't guess I'll confess, certain someone just said yes.
In a bungalow all covered with roses, I will settle down I vow,
That's why I'm looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Hey! Jealous lover
You're acting so strange
Hey! Jealous lover
What is making you change
Hey! Jealous lover
How wrong can you be
I'm yours ever faithful
Just be faithful to me
I am just as steady - as that clock on the shelf
Maybe you're accusing me of - what you're doing yourself
Hey! Jealous lover
I'm telling you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
Could have cheated lots of times - but just couldn't do
I was much to busy baby - being faithful to you
Hey! Jealous lover
I'm telling you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
- No one for me - jealous lover but you

Razors and combs,
needles and scissors,
all of that is here
at my beck and call!
Razors and combs,
Just say that I'm a friend of yours and maybe they won't get wise,
And if they see us together, I'll brush the dream from my eyes.
I'll tell my heart it mustn't seem the song of remember when,
Just say that I'm a friend of yours that you happen to meet again.
I'll tell my heart that it mustn't seem the song of remember when,
Just say that I'm a friend of yours that you happen to meet again.
Moon River wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River
And me
Singing carols, stringing popcorn, making footprints in the snow,
Memories, Christmas memories, they're the sweetest ones I know.
Cookies baking in the kitchen, cards and ribbons everywhere,
Memories, Christmas memories, float like snowflakes in the air.
Oh the joy of waking Christmas mornings, the family round the tree,
We had a way of making Christmas morning as merry as can be,
I close my eyes and see shining faces
Of all the children who now have children of their own
Funny, but comes December, and I remember every Christmas I've known.
Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
When he's playing with his choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer sky
When you see her you're gonna realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
When it's raining I don't miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie's smile
Just think that I'm the lucky one
Who will lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry my Lorraine
When it's raining I never miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie smile
Just the think that I'm the lucky one
Who's gonna lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
That'll be the day when I marry my Lorraine
That certain night, the night we metThere was magic abroad in the airThere were angels dining at the ritzAnd a nightingale sang in Berkley SquareI may be right, I may be wrong,But I'm perfectly willing to swear,That when you turned and smiled at me,A nightingale sang in Berkley Square.The moon that lingered over London town,Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frownHow could he know we two were so in love,The whole darn world seemed upside down.The streets of town were paved with stars,It was such a romantic affair.And as we kissed and said goodnight,A nightingale sang in Berkley Square.
There’ll be a hot time
In the town of berlin
When the yanks go marchin’ in
I wanna be there boy,
And spread some joy
When they take old berlin
There’ll be a hot time
In the town of berlin
When the brooklyn boys begin
To take the joint apart
And tear it down
When they take old berlin
They’re gonna start a row
And show them how
We paint the town back, in kokomo
They’re gonna take a hike
Through hitler’s reich
And change his ’heil’ to ’what ya know, joe’
There’ll be a hot time
In the town of berlin
When the yanks go marchin’ in
You could never keep ’em happy down on the farm
After they take berlin
I’m gonna grab a frau
And show her how
We paint the town back, in michigan
I’m gonna take a hike
Through hitler’s reich
And change that ’heil’ to ’gimme some skin’
There’ll be a hot time
In the town of berlin
When the yanks go marchin’ in
You know that you could never keep ’em happy down on the farm
After they take berlin
Baby you went and broke your faithful, promise
How could you do a thing like that, to me
Didn't I give you everything, I'd promised
How could you do a thing like that, to me
Never thought - you'd be untrue
When my back - (it) was turned on you
If someone gave me all the world (the whole wide world), to hurt you
I wouldn't do a thing like that, to you
(No mam - I wouldn't (couldn't) do a thing like that, to you)

How insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What can you say when a love affair is over
Now she’s gone away
And I’m alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
Why she must have asked
Did I just stare in icy silence
What was I to do
What can one do when a love affair is over
Gimme a little kiss, will you, huh?
Whadda ya gonna miss, will you, huh?
Gosh oh gee, why do you refuse?
I can't see what you gonna lose.
Gimme a little squeeze, will you, huh?
Why do you wanna make me blue?
I wouldn't say a word if I were asking for the world,
But what's a little kiss between a fella and his girl?
Gimme a little kiss, will you, huh?
Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head
Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head over you, over you
I want you, want you to want me, I need you so badly
I can't think of anything but you
Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head, day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right
I must think of a way into your heart
There's no reason why my being so shy should keep us apart
And I think I'm goin' out of my head
'cause I can't explain the tears that I shed over you, over you
I see you each morning, but you just walk by me
You don't even know that I exist
Goin' out of my head over you
Out of my head over you
Out of my head, day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right, day and night
Night and day and night
Wrong or right, day and night
Night and day and night
(Instrumental)
Hear my song, Violetta
Hear the song that's in my heart
Please be mine, Violetta
Say that we will never part
Every night I'm dreaming of you
Every night I want to whisper, "Dear, I love you"
Hear my song, Violetta
Hear the song that's in my heart
Here goes - baby here goes
Every worry, every fear goes
Every dull day in the year goes
I'm about to fall in love
Here goes - yes sir, here goes
Every sky that isn't clear goes
Every sigh that's insincere goes
Because it's you I'm dreaming of
Looks like I've been sold out
Can't fight off the charms
I just couldn't hold out
It's cold out of your arms
Here goes - get the rice out
Get the trip to - paradise out
Sweep that stairway - through the airway up above
Here goes - here goes
Someone ready for love
Here goes - brush that grin off
Brush that endless - bobby pin off
And the biscuits - that chagrin off
I'm about to fall in love
Here goes - get the fights out
And the quarrels - over nights out
And the patch up - when the lights out
That is all I'm dreaming of
Looks like I've been taken
Shaken off the tree
Looks like you'll be making
The bacon just for me
Here goes - get the rice out
Get the trip to - paradise out
Sweep that stairway - through the airway up above
Here goes - here goes
I never caught stardust that fell from the skies.
I never saw moonlight in anyone's eyes,
Then suddenly love kicks in the window,
Love knocks down the door.
Love, it sat down and told me,
Lover, what are you waiting for?
I never heard bluebirds, the songs that they sing,
I never get crazy, not even in spring,
Then suddenly love struck me like lightning,
Love it blew up a storm,
Love suddenly grabbed me, and ooh, was it cozy and warm
'Cause I found you, now I no longer just exist,
Ooh, what a change, it started from the time we kissed,
(And now we hear bluebirds), they hear bluebirds,
(We're learning that tune) they like that tune,
(And even yon moonlight) all that pretty moonlight
(Comes down about you) Hotdog, them love, it's still on a heaven,
Love, it gave me a shove,
[Ding dong Ding], I'm a-hearing those [church bells ring]
I fell in love with you first time I looked into
Them there eyes
Youve got a certain lil cute way of flirtin with
Them there eyes
They make me feel happy
They make me feel blue
No stallin
Im fallin
Going in a big way for sweet little you
My heart is jumpin
Sure started somethin with
Them there eyes
Youde better watch them if youre wise
They sparkle
They bubble
Theyre gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble
Youre overworkin them
Theres danger lurkin in
Them there eyes
(Instrumental)
My heart is jumpin
Sure started somethin with
Them there eyes
Youde better watch them if youre wise
They sparkle
They bubble
Theyre gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble
Youre overworkin them
Theres danger lurkin in
someday when i'm awfully low
when the world is cold
i will feel a glow just thinking of you
and the way you look tonight
yes you're lovely
with your smile so warm
and your cheeks so soft
there is nothing for me but to love you
and the way you look tonight
with each word your tenderness grows
tearing my fear apart
and that laugh wrinkles your nose
touches my foolish heart
lovely never never change
keep that breathless charm
won't you please arrange it
cause i love you
just the way you look tonight
and that laugh that wrinkles your nose
it touches my foolish heart
lovely don't you ever change
keep that breathless charm
won't you please arrange it
cause i love you
just the way you look tonight
And now the sun has broken through
It looks like it will stay
Just can't have you comin' home
On such a rainy day
The train is leaving Ellensville
Unless my watch is fast
The kids are comin' home from school
Must be quarter past
So many changes since you've been away
And there's so many things to say
This time around you'll want to stay
'Cuz I've had so many nights to find the way
Even bought that summer cottage yesterday
Pretty soon I'll be close to you
And it will be so good
We'll talk about the part of you
I never understood
And I will take good care of you
And never let you cry
We will look so much in love
To people passing by
So many changes since you've been away
And there's so many things to say
I wrote so many times and more
But the letters still are lying in my drawer
'Cuz the morning mail had left some time before
All the passengers for Allentown wait closer to the track
It's hard for me to realize you're really coming back
The crossing gate is coming down I think I see the train
The sun has gone and now my face is wet with heavy rain
The passengers for Allentown are gone
The train is slowly moving on
But I can't see you anyplace
And I know for sure I'd recognize your face
The glow of sunset in the summer skies,
The golden flicker of the fireflies,
The gleam of love light in your lovely eyes,
These are the things I love.
A silver moonbeam peeping through the trees,
A bed of tulips nodding in the breeze,
The look you give in answer to my pleas,
These are the things I love.
Oh, once I thought that Life was just a winter thing,
My heart was cold, and then
You came to me and like a breath of spring,
You turned the silver snow to gold!
A robin's serenade when day is through,
A bubbling brook beside our rendezvous,
Your sweet voice whisp'ring "Darling, I love you",
Dear, fates will hold no sweeter smile for me
Were you not mine, how dark the world would be
I know no light above that could replace
Love's radiant sunshine in your dear face.
Give me your smile, the love light in your eyes,
I could not hold a fairer paradise
Give me the right to love you all the while,
The stars will remember the night we said goodbye,
The stars will remember, so will I.
A rose as a token, a kiss that brought a sigh,
The stars will remember, so will I.
And now the stars and I, we share the lonely lane,
But in my solitude, it seems I hear you call my name.
The world may forget you as time goes passing by,
But stars will remember, so will I.
And now the stars and I, we share the lonely lane,
But in my solitude, it seems I hear you call my name.
The world may forget you as time goes passing by,
I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, that my place is there,
And there it will always be, there where I can hear the Song of the Sabia.
I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, I will lie in the shadow of
A palm that's no longer there, and pick a flower that doesn't grow.
And maybe someone's love will speak the night.
The lonely unwanted light that may bring me through the new day.
I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, they won't be in vain,
All the plans I made to deceive myself, all the rose I made just to lose myself,
All the love I made to forget myself, those mistakes I made just to find myself.
I'll go back, I know now that I'll go back, that my place is there,
And there it will always be, there where I can hear the Song of the Sabia.
I hear music when I look at you;
A beautiful theme of ev'ry
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when I touch your hand;
A beautiful melody
>From some enchanted land.
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true -
Could have danced all night, Could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings, and done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she, began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, danced, danced all night
I could have danced all night, I could have danced all night
And still have danced some more
I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things
That Ive never done before
I'll never know what made it so, so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when she, began to dance with me
Two eyes walking `round with a baby blue stare, how cute can you be?
Red lips pouting so that a guy's gotta care, how cute can you be?
I've seen lassies, the fine looks and chassis, almost every day,
But I've stopped my looking `cause I know what's cooking, just a glance away.
Soft hair shining so that the sun blinks his eyes, how cute can you be?
A voice sweet and low, making temperatures rise, how cute can you be?
I'll give up my gallivanting, if you'd consent to be
The ready little steady on my family tree, how cute can you be?
She's got some soft hair shining, that the sun blinks his eyes, hey, how cute can you be?
A voice sweet and low, making temperatures rise, how cute can you be?
I'll give up my gallivanting, if you'd consent to be
The ready little steady on my family tree, how cute can you be?
As the morning casts a thousand bits of sunlight,
And they shine like diamonds on the morning dew,
I believe that every single one is mine alone to see,
And I believe I'm gonna love you.
If it seems that there are special stars for lovers,
And we see them scattered `cross midnight blue,
I believe that out of all this world, there meant for you and me.
'Cause I believe I'm gonna love you.
I'll take you to a magic place where no one's ever been,
Where there's carpets made of flowers, and music in the wind.
If you wonder why I'm giving you these treasures,
Because you're like no one else I ever knew,
I believe that as we walk through time, the best is yet to come,
Because I believe I'm gonna love you.
Hear that music playing, listen to what it's saying
Throughout the years I've made a lot of friends
Many became famous, most of them go nameless
But I dedicate this song to all of them
I've sung with the best and I've had it all
I've gone from neighborhood saloons to Carnegie Hall
I've been down and out and I've been in demand
But I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!
Those magical notes, those musical pearls
I've sung with all the Counts, the Dukes, the Kings, and the Earls
And the experience, I have to say, was grand
But I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!
Strings soaring, horns boring
Drums pounding in my ear
To start at the ground and reach for the top
To have such a wonderful career, I just gotta stop
Stop and turn around to thank everyone that sits on the stand
`cause I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!
(Instrumental)
Here's to those ladies and the gentlemen
Here's to the AF of M
I wouldn't have made it without them, here's to the band!
I miss the thrill of grammar school romances
I miss the junior prom and graduation dances
The gossip in assembly hall
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the gang that hangs around at Miller's
Devouring chocolate sodas, with those whipped cream fillers
The girl I promised I would call
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the midnight services on Christmas Eve
And the joy when Christmas morning came
I miss the scramble for the wishbone every Sunday
And the big Thanksgiving football game
I miss the times I had to set the table
I miss the rolls my mother made when she was able
The fragrant bonfires in the fall
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the times I had to set the table
I miss the rolls my mother made when she was able
The fragrant bonfires in the fall
Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
Last Saturday night I got married me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I'm gonna take another stroll downtown
Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I take a great notion to jump in the river and drown
Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
Stop rambling
Stop my gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Go home to your wife and family
Stay there by your fire side bright
Irene goodnight Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
(Irene goodnight Irene goodnight)
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams
Help yourself to my heart,
It's there if you care to start with it.
It's there and I'm willing to part with it
If you'll handle it with care.
Help yourself to my love,
It's yours if you put your claim on it.
The kiss I reserve has your name on it,
And it's begging to be shared.
I could love you madly,
That's just the way I feel.
I need your love so badly,
But I must know it's real.
So help yourself to my heart,
Go on, have fun and be gay with it.
But once you begin, you must stay with it,
Never never to part,
Writers: Cahn/van Heusen
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'd bet
Love comes but once - and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The second time around
I'd know you anywhere, I'd know that grin,
I'd know you anywhere when you walked in,
I would tingle with a single glance in your eye,
Watching the starlight dance in your eye.
You saw my vacant stare, you understood,
I'd love you anywhere, honest I would,
I was certain this would happen, strange as it seems,
I tried,
tried to impress you,
my love,
I gave it all
Each hour ever at your beck and call.
I tried,
tried to caress you,
My soul,
filled with desire,
two arms craving the one I admire.
Your charm was so appealing,
I loved you from the start,
There's still that same old feeling,
concealed here in my heart.
I tried making you love me,
and you couldn't decide,
But I'll never regret that I tried,
How's your love life,
how's your heartbeat,
how do you do with me?
How's that new boy,
how does he rate,
how do you do without me?
My doctors say I'm fit and healthy,
I really come on,
My bank will tell you that I'm solvent,
except that I'm overdrawn,
So how's forgiving,
how's forgetting,
how can you do this to me?
And how's for living,
how's for getting a flat with me as a lessee?
I tell you what,
you're in a rot,
you need a caretaker, see?
Honey, how could you do,
Head on my pillow just thinking of you,
head on my pillow,
so lonesome and blue,
I wonder where you are tonight,
and if you miss me, dear,
My heart tells me you can't deny,
my arms know you left near.
Head on my pillow,
my thoughts turn to dreams,
Head on my pillow,
like heaven it seems,
I see a vision build a home of happiness divine
My head on my pillow,
Shake down the stars, pull down the clouds,
Turn off the moon, do it soon,
I can't enjoy the night without you,
Shake down the stars.
Dry up the streams, stop all my dreams,
Cut off the breeze, do it please,
I never thought I'd cry about you,
Shake down the stars.
I gave you my arms, my lips, my heart,
My love, my life, my all,
But the best that I had to offer you
I found was all too small.
Crush every rose, hush every pray'r,
Break every vow, do it now,
I know I cannot live without you,
Darling, I'm so blue without you
I think about you the live-long day
When you ask me if I'm lonely
Then I only have this to say
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 ev'ry 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'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
You said good-bye, no stars in the sky refuse to shine
Take it from me, it's no fun to be alone
Say it over and over again,
over and over again,
never stop saying you're mine.
Say it,
ever and ever so sweet,
ever and ever so sweet just like an old valentine.
When you say I love you,
the same old I love you,
they whisper in stories and plays,
You can change I love you,
the same old I love you,
to oh such a heavenly phrase.
So say it,
softly and gently and then,
over and over again,
How can you forget moments in the moonlight,
Moments of a love that used to be,
As I stare in space, I still see your face,
And once again I'm lost in your thrilling embrace.
Though the spell is o'er, somewhere in the moonlight,
Mem'ries of your kiss will live anew,
And we'll meet, my love, as I keep dreaming of
Look at yourself, if you had a sense of humor
You would laugh to beat the band
Look at yourself, do you still believe the rumor
That romance is simply grand?
Since you took it right on the chin
You have lost that bright toothpaste grin
My mental state is all a-jumble
I sit around and sadly mumble
Fools rush in, so here I am
Very glad to be unhappy
I can't win, but here I am
More than glad to be unhappy
Unrequited love's a bore
And I've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It's a pleasure to be sad
Like a straying baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy
I'm so unhappy
Hey! Jealous lover
You're acting so strange
Hey! Jealous lover
What is making you change
Hey! Jealous lover
How wrong can you be
I'm yours ever faithful
Just be faithful to me
I am just as steady - as that clock on the shelf
Maybe you're accusing me of - what you're doing yourself
Hey! Jealous lover
I'm telling you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
Could have cheated lots of times - but just couldn't do
I was much to busy baby - being faithful to you
Hey! Jealous lover
I'm telling you true
I know that you're jealous
A foggy day,
in London town,
it had me low,
and it had me down
I viewed the morning,
with much alarm,
the British Museum,
had lost its charm
How long I wondered,
could this thing last,
but the age of miracles,
it hadn't past
And suddenly,
I saw you standing right there
And in foggy London town,
Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?
Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?
Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?
Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?
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 warning 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
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
We use to say our love will stay until the cows come home,
And then the cows came home, do you know why?
We use to say we'll love this way, till Hades freezes over,
And then it just froze over, do you know why?
We thought we had a future dancing a jig for us,
Do you suppose our little dream got too big for us
We use to say our love will stay,
Forever and a night, and now forever's gone,
My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
The exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree,
Fighting vainly the old ennui,
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.
I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?
Some, they may go for cocaine.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically, too.
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick every time I see you standing there before me.
I get a kick though it's clear to see you obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane.
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do.
Yet I get a kick - um you give me a boot - I get a kick out of you.
[2 different verses]
(Some like the perfume from Spain)
(I'm sure that if I took even one sniff)
(It would bore me terrifically too)
(But I get a kick out of you)
(Some like the bop-type refrain)
(I'm sure that if, I heard even one riff)
(It would bore me terrifically too)
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, madame with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do
You know what, you're lovely
You know what, you're so lovely
and, oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'specially when you do the Continental
but this feeling isn't purely mental
for Heaven rest us, Im not asbestos
And that's why
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
so If I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, madame with you
my heart won't let my feet do things that they want to do
You know what, you're lovely
Ring-a-ding-ding, you're lovely
and oh what, you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance you're charming and you're gentle
'specially when you do the Continental
but this feeling isn't purely mental
for Heaven rest us, Im not asbestos
And that's why
I won't dance
I won't dance
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
so If I hold you in my arms....
I won't dance
One dream in my heart, one love to be living for,
One love to be living for, this nearly was mine.
One girl for my dream, one partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise, this nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she came, only to fly away,
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.
Now, now I'm alone, still dreaming of paradise,
Still saying that paradise once nearly was mine.
How clear and deep are my fancies,
Of things I wish were true,
I'll keep remembering evenings,
I wish I'd spent with you,
I 'll keep remembering kisses from lips I'll never own,
And all the lovely adventures,
That we have never known.
Now, now I'm alone,
Still dreaming of paradise,
Love
This is my song
This is my song, my serenade to you
The world
Cannot be wrong
If in this world
There is you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So love
This is my song
This is my song, my serenade to you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So love
This is my song
This is my song
My serenade

Rain falling from the skies
Like lonely tears through misty eyes
Rain streaming down my face
Brings memories my heart cannot erase
Here alone in all my sorrows
Waiting for the clouds to hurry by
Praying that a new tomorrow
Will put the sun back in the sky
Rain wash away my tears
So when that sun appears
I’ll see my love again
To love - and be loved
That’s what life’s - all about
Keeps the stars - coming out
What makes a sad heart sing - the birds take wing
To love - and be loved
That’s what living - is for
Makes me want you the more - the more we cling
Let others race - to the moon
Through time and space - to the moon
My goal is greater than this
To reach your lips - to share your kiss
To stay - in your arms
Is the dream - I pursue
To be sheltered - and safe - from the storm
To be cozy - and ever - so warm
And for always - to love
And be loved - by you
You simply can't forget her
The moment you have met her
Your heart will never ever be the same
Tina, Tina, nobody else but Tina
That's the little lady's name
And once you've gone and kissed her
Give up you can't resist her
Your thoughts will wear her picture like a frame
Tina, Tina, nobody quite like Tina
That's the little lady's name
She'll merely smile and in a twinkling
You'll swear that smile contains a star
Before that smile you had no inkling
How much in love you really are
Let others look for angels
I have no time for angels
I've found someone more than just divine
Tina, Tina, no sir you can't have Tina
This town is a lonely town
Not the only town like-a this town
This town is a make-you town
Or a break-you-town and bring-you-down town
This town is a quiet town
Or a riot town like this town
This town is a love-you town
And a shove-you-down and push-you-'round town
This town is an all-right town
For an uptight town like-a this town
This town, it's a use-you town
An abuse-you town until-you're-down town
This town is a losin' town
It's a miserable town
It's a nowhere town
And I am leavin' this town
You better believe that I'm leavin' this town
Man, it could never be uptown
It's bound to be downtown
This town, bye-bye
Volare, oh oh, cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let’s fly way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we’ll find
Volare, oh oh, e contare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d’improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
Volare, oh oh, e contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu
E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiu
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me
Volare, oh oh, e cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu
(this is the english version)
Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears,
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears,
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.
Volare, oh, oh! cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let’s fly way up in the clouds,away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we’ll find
Volare, oh, oh! cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings, your love has given me wings
(this is the italian version)
Penso che un sogno cosþ non ritorni mai pi-
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d’improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
Volare, oh, oh! cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lass-
E volavo, volavo felice pi- in alto del sole ed ancora pi- su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggi-

Volare, oh, oh! cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lass-
Nel biu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lass
Unforgettable thats 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 (and forever more)
thats how you'll stay (thats how you'll stay)
thats why darling its incredible
that someone so unforgettable
thinks that i am unforgettable too
*music break*
No never before
Has someone been more
ooo unforgettable (unforgettable)
in every way (in every way)
and forever more (and forever more)
thats how you'll stay (thats how you'll stay)
thats why darling its incredible
that someone so unforgettable
thinks that i am unforgettable too.
Sad is to live in solitude
far from your tranquil altitude
Sad is to know that no one ever can live on a dream
that never can be, will never be
dreamer awake, wake up and see.
Your beauty is an aeroplane
so high my heart can't bear the strain
A heart that stops when you pass by
only to cause me pain
And now the sun has broken through
It looks like it will stay
Just can't have you comin' home
On such a rainy day
The train is leaving Ellensville
Unless my watch is fast
The kids are comin' home from school
Must be quarter past
So many changes since you've been away
And there's so many things to say
This time around you'll want to stay
'Cuz I've had so many nights to find the way
Even bought that summer cottage yesterday
Pretty soon I'll be close to you
And it will be so good
We'll talk about the part of you
I never understood
And I will take good care of you
And never let you cry
We will look so much in love
To people passing by
So many changes since you've been away
And there's so many things to say
I wrote so many times and more
But the letters still are lying in my drawer
'Cuz the morning mail had left some time before
All the passengers for Allentown wait closer to the track
It's hard for me to realize you're really coming back
The crossing gate is coming down I think I see the train
The sun has gone and now my face is wet with heavy rain
The passengers for Allentown are gone
The train is slowly moving on
But I can't see you anyplace
And I know for sure I'd recognize your face
And I know for sure I'd recognize your face.
We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather,
The flies and spiders get along together,
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.
Beyond the suns that guard this roof,
Beyond your flowers of flaming truths,
Beyond your latest ad campaigns,
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps.
He saves what others throw away.
He says that he'll be rich some day.
We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.
We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather,
The flies and spiders get along together,
Went to see a movie show
Found myself an empty row
Thought the show was just alright
Same old Saturday night
Then I made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face nowhere in sight
Same old Saturday night
I really thought - the papers I bought
Would help me forget you for a while
Believe me honey - the funnies weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile
How I wish you'd lift the phone
Fun is fun - but not alone
'Til you let me hold you tight
Same old Saturday night
Only your face - can help me erase
Light a candle in the chapel at the closing of each day,
Keep it burning while you're yearning, for the one who went away.
Say a pray'r and ask the angel to guide and to watch from above
Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
Don't look up and don't look down
You don't das make the boss man frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until your dead
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross.
Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant tatters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants em, are soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River, just keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin' and racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bail
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail
I gets weary, and sick of trying
I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin'
Sweet summer breeze, whispering trees
Stars shining softly above
Roses in bloom, wafted perfume
Sleepy birds dreaming of love
Safe in your arms, far from alarms
Daylight shall come but in vain
Tenderly press close to my breast
Kiss me, kiss me again
Safe in your arms, far from alarms
Daylight shall come but in vain
Tenderly press close to my breast
Did I see moonlight and magnolia trees?
Smile again, my darling, if you please
Did I hear music on a warm spring breeze?
Speak again, my darling, if you please
Did I feel cool September rain just then?
If you please, touch my cheek with your hand again
When you are near me I can dream with ease
And I'm yours, my darling, if you please
Did I feel cool September rain just then?
If you please, touch my cheek with your hand again
When you are near me I can dream with ease
I dream of you more than you dream I do,
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You're mean to me more than you mean to be,
You just can't seem to see the way I feel.
When I am close to you, the world is far away,
The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to say
I want you so, more than you'll ever know,
I couldn't sleep a wink last night
Because we had that silly fight
I thought my heart would break the whole night through,
I knew that you'd be sorry, and I am sorry too,
I couldn't have my favorite dream,
The one in which I hold you tight,
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right,
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
Lullaby and good night, with roses bestride,
With lilies bedecked. 'neath Baby's sweet bed.
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.
Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight.
Bright angels around, my darling, shall guard.
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.
(and these are the original words of Brahms in German)
Guten Abend, gut' nacht! Mit Rosen bedacht,
Mit N„glein besteckt schl乸f unter die Deck'!
Morgen Fr乭, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt,
Morgen Fr乭, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt,
Guten Abend, gut' nacht! Von Englein bewacht,
Die zeigen im Traum, dir Christkindlein's baum.
Schlaf' nun selig und suss, schau' im Traum's Paradies,
Schlaf' nun selig und suss, schau' im Traum's Paradies.
(without poetic embellishments, this is the direct translationof Brahms)
Good evening, good night, covered with roses,
With carnations covered, slip under the blanket,
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.
God evening, good night, watched over by tiny angels,
Who show the little Christ Child's tree in dreams,
Sleep now, blessed and sweet, see paradise in your dreams.
Close to you - I will always stay
Close to you - though you're far away
You'll always be near - as though you were here
By my side
No matter where - in my dreams, I'll find you there
Close to me - sharing your caress
Can't you see - you're my happiness
Where ever you go - my heart will go too
What can I do
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now they look as though they're here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday, oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be.
There's a shadow hanging over me, oh yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away, oh I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong , now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Let someone start believing in you,
let him hold out his hand
Let him touch you and watch what happens
One someone who can look in your eyes,
and see into your heart
Let him find you and watch what happens
Cold, no I won't believe your heart is cold
Maybe just afraid to be broken again
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you,
and what magic you'll see
Let someone with a deep love to give
Give that deep love to you.
and what magic you'll see
Let someone give his heart,
someone who cares like me
I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair.
The smoke from my cigarette climbs through the air.
The walls of my room fade away in the blue,
And I'm deep in a dream of you.
The smoke makes a stairway for you to descend;
You come to my arms, may this bliss never end,
For we love anew just as we used to do
When I'm deep in a dream of you.
Then from the ceiling, sweet music comes stealing;
We glide through a lover's refrain, you're so appealing
That I'm soon revealing my love for you over again.
My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start;
My hand isn't hurt, but there's pain in my heart.
Awake or asleep, ev'ry mem'ry I'll keep
I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I've got some habits
Even I can't explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now
I sit and daydream
I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends
Leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now
Why can't I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that's not for me
Cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by
So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
I took each word she said as gospel truth the way a silly little child would.
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth,
I was no babe in the wild, wild wood.
She didn't mean it,
I should have seen it,
but now it's too late.
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams,
now it seems,
this is how the story ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say,
"Can't we be friends?"
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong,
not for long,
I can see the way this ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say,
"Can't we be friends?"
Why should I care though she gave me the air,
Why should I cry,
heave a sigh,
and wonder why,
and wonder why?
I thought I found the gal I could trust,
watta bust, this is how the story ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say,
I'm so in love with you, please love me
Whatever else you do, just love me
Go your way and dance and play till dawn breaks though
If you'll just call up and say "I love you, just you"
You're all that I desire, love me
I'd die if you should tire, oh, of me, love me
I'll be kind and I won't mind if you're not near
If you'll only love me, dear
(brief music interlude)
Love me
I'll be kind and I won't mind if you're not near
They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And, with a moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me
I can't recall who said it
I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say
To leave your house some morning
And, without any warning
You're stopping people, shouting that love is grand
To hold a girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way
I'll be lovin' you, always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you've planned need a helpin' 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 just a day
Not for just one year but always
Always
Always
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
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those eyes?
Gosh all git-up, how'd you get so lit up?
Gosh all git up, how'd it get that size?
Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on,
Woe is me, got to put my cheaters on.
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Oh those weepers, how they hypnotize!
Sentimental baby, sweet and gentle baby
Just the way a baby oughta be
Heaven in the morning, heaven in the evening
How did such an angel get to me?
Cuddle and caress me, snuggle up and "Yes" me
I'm a guy who loves a clinging vine
Kiss me, baby, kiss me and then
Do it, baby, over again
Sentimental baby, tell me you're my baby
Sentimental baby of mine
I'm a guy who loves a clinging vine
Kiss me, baby, kiss me and then
Do it, baby, all over again
Sentimental baby, tell me you're my baby
Some days, when i'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow, just thinking of you
And the way you look, Tonight
Yes your lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word you tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh, wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never never change
Keep, that breathless charm
Wont you please arrange it
Cause I love you
A just the way you look tonight
(Instramental)
And that laugh, that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart
Lovely, dont you ever change
keep that breathless charm
Wont you please arrange it
cause I love you
A just the way you look tonight
Hmmmm, hmmmm
Just friends
Lovers no more
Just friends
But not like before
To think of what we've been
And not to kiss again
Seems like pretending
It isn't the ending
Two friends
Drifting apart
Two friends
But one broken heart
We loved we laughed we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're
Just friends
We loved we laughed and we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're
When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing
When you're laughing
The sun comes shining through
But when you're crying
You bring on the rain
So stop your sighing
Be happy again
Keep on smiling
Cause when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you
When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing
When you're laughing
That sun comes shining through
But when you're crying
You bring on the rain
So stop your sighing
Be happy again
Keep on smiling
Cause when you're smiling
I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style.
And so I came to see her and listen for a while.
And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
singing my life with her words,
killing me softly with her song,
killing me softly with her song,
telling my whole life with her words,
killing me softly with her song
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt she found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that she would finish but she just kept right on.
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
singing my life with her words,
killing me softly with her song,
killing me softly with her song,
telling my whole life with her words,
killing me softly with her song
She sang as if she knew me in all my dark despair
and then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But she WAS THERE THE STRANGER, singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
singing my life with her words,
killing me softly with her song,
killing me softly with her song,
telling my whole life with her words,
Nathan, you must concentrate on the game. The town is up to here with high players. The Greek's in
town. Freddie Bottle Bates, Scranton Slim.
Nathan: I know, I know, I could make a fortune, but to make a fortune, I need a fortune. A thousand
bucks, where do I get it?
The Biltmore Garage wants a grand, but we ain't got a grand on hand.
And they now got a lock on the door to the gym at Public School 84.
There's a stock room behind McKlosky's Bar, but Mrs. McKlosky ain't a good scout.
And things being how they are, the back of the police station is out!
So the Biltmore Garage is the spot, but the one thousand bucks we ain't got.
Why, it's good old reliable Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit,
If you're looking for action, he'll turn it to spot,
Even when the heat is on, it's never too hot.
But for the good old reliable Nathan, oh it's only just a short walk,
To the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New Yawk.
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere, everywhere,
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere,
And awful lot of lettuce for the fella who can get us to play.
If we only had a lousy little crap, we could be a millionaire.
Oh the good old reliable Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit,
If the size of your bundle you want to increase,
I'll arrange that you go broke in quiet and peace,
In a hideout provided by Nathan, where there are no neighbors to squawk,
It's the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New Yawk.
Where's the action? Where's the game?
Gotta have the game or we'll die from shame.
It's the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York.
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn,
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go I'll think of you
Every song I sing I'll sing for you
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Whatever happened to Christmas? It's gone and left no traces,
Whatever happened to the faces or the glow,
Whatever happened to Christmas, to Christmas way of living?
Whatever happened to the giving, the magic in the snow?
Remember the sight and the smell and the sound,
And remember hearing the call,
Remember how love was all around, whatever happened to it all?
Whatever happened to Christmas, bells in the streets were ringing,
Whatever happened to the singing, the songs we used to know.
Whatever happened to this Christmas, and when did it disappear from view,
Where was I, and whatever happened to you?
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest, the merriest to you
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest, yes the merriest,
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest Yule cheer,
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest, yes the happiest,
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest New Year.
May your tree be filled with happiness, happiness and friendliness for all
May your heart be filled with cheerfulness,
With happiness and cheerfulness and friendliness for all.
We wish you the happiest, the happiest, the happiest, yes the happiest,
We wish you the merriest, the merriest, the merriest Yule cheer,
And the happiest New Year.
The happiest and the friendliest, and the merriest, the cheerfullest,
April skies are in your eyes, but darling, don't be blue
Don't cry, oh honey please don't be that way.
Clouds in the sky should never make you feel that way
The rain will bring the violets of May
Tears are in vain, so honey please don't be that way
As long as we see it through, you'll have me, I'll have you
Sweetheart, tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart, oh honey, please don't be that way
Don't cry, oh honey please don't be that way
Clouds in the sky should never make you feel that way
The rain will bring the violets of May
Tears in vain, so honey please don't be that way
As long as we will see it through
You'll have me and I'll have you
Sweetheart, tomorrow is another day
Don't break my heart, nh honey, please don't be that way,
Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
When he's playing with his choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer sky
When you see her you're gonna realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
When it's raining I don't miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie's smile
Just think that I'm the lucky one
Who will lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry my Lorraine
When it's raining I never miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie smile
Just the think that I'm the lucky one
Who's gonna lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
That'll be the day when I marry my Lorraine
"Have you met Miss Jones?" someone said as we shook hands,
She was just Miss Jones to me.
And then I said, "Miss Jones, you're a girl who understands
I'm a man who must be free."
And all at once I lost my breath, and all at once was scared to death,
And all at once I owned the earth and sky.
And now I've met Miss Jones, and we'll keep on meeting till we die,
Miss Jones and I.
(musical interlude)
And all at once I lost my breath, and all at once was scared to death,
And all at once I owned the earth and the sky.
Now I've met Miss Jones, and we'll keep on meeting till we die,
Granada, I'm falling under your spell,
And if you could speak, what a fascinating tale you would tell.
Of an age the world has long forgotten,
Of an age that weaves a silent magic in Granada today.
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada.
For she can remember the splendor that once was Granada.
It still can be found in the hills all around as I wander along,
Entranced by the beauty before me,
Entranced by a land full of flowers and song.
When day is done and the sun touch the sea in Granada,
I envy the blush of the snow-clad Sierra Nevada,
Soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Habanera.
Then moonlit Granada will live again,
The glory of yesterday, romantic and gay.
(musical interlude)
And soon it will welcome the stars
While a thousand guitars play a soft Habanera.
Then moonlit Granada will live again,
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;
That the world will never forget.
And the simple;
Secret of the plot;
Is just to tell them;
That I love you, a lot.
Then the world discovers;
As my book ends;
Like the folks you meet on
Like to plant my feet on the Brooklyn Bridge
What a lovely view from
Heaven looks at you from the Brooklyn Bridge
I love to listen to the wind through her strings
The song that she sings for the town
I love to look up at the clouds in her hair
She's learned to wear like a crown
If you've been a rover
Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge
Don't let no one tell you
I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge
All the folks in Manhattan are sad
'cause they look at her and wish they had
The good old Brooklyn Bridge
If you've been a rover
Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge
Don't let no one tell you
I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge
You'll miss her most when you roam
'cause you'll think of her and think of home
The good old Brooklyn Bridge
Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The LAUGH that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura but she's only a dream
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura
In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm so glad there is you
I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through with you to guide me
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
Wrong
Would it be wrong to kiss?
Seeing I feel like this
Would it be wrong to try?
Wrong
Would it be wrong to stay?
Here in your arms this way
Under the starry sky
If it is wrong
Then why were you sent to me?
Why am I content to be?
With you forever
So, when I need you so much
And I have waited so long
It must be right
If it's the last thing I do, I'll make you mine
Darling the first thing is you, in my design
Just like the stars guard the moon above me
Thats just how I'll guard our love, so love me
Please love me
If it's the last thing I do, I'll take your hand
And though I won't say a word, you'll understand
I'll build a dream just for two
And then I'll make it come true
If it's the very last thing I do
Just like the stars guard the moon above me
Thats just how I'll guard our love, so love me
Please love me
If it's the last thing I do, I'll take your hand
And though I won't say a word, you'll understand
I'll build a dream just for two
And then I'll make it come true
If I steal a kiss, dear, I'll surely return it someday.
If I steal your dreams, dear, I'll bring them back some
way.
If I steal your moonlight, I'll bring it back more
divine,
But if I steal your heart, dear, I'll keep it close to
mine.
If I steal your moonlight, I'll bring it back more
divine,
And if I steal your heart, dear, I'll keep it close to
mine,
I'll make up for everything the world has done to you,
I'll make every little dream you ever dreamed come true.
I will help you to forget you ever shed a tear,
Should dark clouds become a threat, then you'll find me
near.
We'll share all the rainy days that fate may have in
store,
Laugh a lot and darling, what is more -
We will find the peace of mind that happiness can bring,
'Cause I'll make up for everything.
And we will find the peace of mind that happiness can
bring,
In the shadow of the moon, there's a bright and shining
place
Where two hearts can learn to share love beyond all time
and space.
Though the candle barely glows through the haze,
Touch my hand, what it plays.
Till a woman and a man learn to think and feel as one,
They must journey through the dark, then one day they'll
find that sun.
We can own each silver star up above, simply love me, my
love.
[brief instrumental]
We can share the joy we're both dreaming of, if you'll
Lover, when I'm near you, and I hear you - speak my name
Softly, in my ear you - breathe a flame
lover, when we are dancing,keep on glancing in my eyes,
til loves own enchanting music dies
all of my future is in you, you're every plan i design,
promise you'll always continue to be mine
Lover, it's immoral, but why quarrel - with our bliss
When, two lips of coral - want to kiss
I say (that) the devil is in you, and to resists you - I try
But if you didn't continue - I would die
Lover, please be tender, when you're tender - fears depart
I am loved, I am loved
By the one I love in every way
I am loved, absolutely loved
What a wonderful thing to be able to say!
I'm adored, I'm adored
By the one who first led my heart astray
I'm adored, absolutely adored
What a wonderful thing to be able to say!
So ring out the bells
And let the trumpets blow
And beat on the drums
'Cause now I know, I know
I am loved, I am loved
What a wonderful thing!
What a beautiful thing!
What a glorious thing to be able to say!
What a wonderful thing!
What a beautiful thing!
What a glorious thing!
It's over, it's over, it's over, I won't look back,
Won't look back, my bridge has been crossed.
It's over, it's over, it's over, I'll walk away,
I'll stay away, cause my heart's been lost.
Losing is not a happy thing when the stakes are high,
Not when you lose your lover on a simple goodbye.
It's over, it's over, It's over, I can't look back,
Won't look back, my heart says it's done.
It's over, it's over, it's over, but when I see her
And when I'm near her, I feel like it just began.
Losing is not a happy thing when the stakes are high,
Not when you lose your lover on a simple goodbye.
It's over, it's over, it's over, I can't look back,
Won't look back, my heart says it's done.
It's over, it's over, it's over, but when I see her
You wander around on your own little cloud
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
You walk out on me when we both disagree
'Cause to reason is not what you care for
I've heard it all a million times before
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the
pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
You try to be smart, then you take it to heart
'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
You don't realize that it's all compromise
And the problems are so overrated
Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the
pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again
Hey, look, no crying, though she has one foot out the
door
I should be crying, it ought to hurt a little more
I should resent her, try to prevent her, whatever for?
Hey, look, I knew it, she's not the type to hang around
Some day she was bound to go
With that fact in mind, my tears were never apropos
Hey. look, no sorrow, I have been luckier than most
And if tomorrow I still feel haunted by her ghost
I will remember how I loved her and how it was
Who needs crying? With those memories in tow
Me, I'm flying, I got memories to show
Hey, look, no crying
NOTE: There may well be more lyrics than this short 1:00 version, which was broadcast on "Your Hit
Parade" in 1944. Additions from a longer version are welcome.
I'm blue ev'ry Monday thinkin' over Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
It seems that I sigh all day Tuesday and I cry all day Wednesday
Oh, my, how I long for you
And then comes Thursday
Gee, it's long and never goes by
Friday makes me feel like I'm gonna die
But after payday is my fun day, I shine all day Sunday
Summer me, winter me
And with your kisses
Morning me, evening me
And as the world slips
Far away, star away
Forever me with love
Wonder me, wander me
Then by a fire
Pleasure me, peaceful me
And in the silence
Quietly, whisper me
Forever me with love
Forever me with love
And ev'ry day I'll
Gentle you, tender you
And oh, the way I'll
Velvet you, clover you
I'll wrap you up and
Ribbon you, rainbow you
And shower you with Love!
Suddenly, magically
We found each other
There we were, here we are
I plan to let you
Happy me, summer me
Tell her you love her each day,
You'll make her happy that way.
A simple "I love you" means more than money,
And with a kiss or two her life is sunny.
Give her a reason to live,
She needs the love that you give,
Always remember that is what she lives for
She hopes you love her ...
Tell her you love her!
Tell her you love her --
Today!
Chorus:
Give her a reason to live,
She needs the love that you give.
Always remember that is what she lives for
She hopes you love her ...
Tell her you love her!
Tell her you love her --
Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
When he's playing with his choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer sky
When you see her you're gonna realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
When it's raining I don't miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie's smile
Just think that I'm the lucky one
Who will lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry my Lorraine
When it's raining I never miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie smile
Just the think that I'm the lucky one
Who's gonna lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
That'll be the day when I marry my Lorraine
One day as I walked with my son hand in hand,
He said, there are things that I don't understand,
How high is the sky? what makes it so blue?
And tell me, dad, what does God look like to you?
I said, He looks like a rainbow, just after the rain,
He's as golden as wheat dancing over the plain.
He looks like the star when the night's crystal clear,
He looks like a baby when mother is near.
His face is the moonlight reflected on snow,
His hair like (a) garden where all flowers grow,
His heavenly eyes are as (blue) as the sea,
My son, that's what God really looks like.
(His) heart's like a mountain so vast and so strong,
That's why all his children have room (grown?) to belong.
His smile is the morning we waken to see,
Writer(s): Cahn/van Heusen
You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
Why even in France the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and Letts do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In old Japan, all the Japs do it
Up in Lapland little Laps do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The Deutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Fins
Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins
In shallow shoals English souls do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The chimpanzees in the zoos do it
Some courageous kangaroos do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
I'm sure giraffes on the sly do it
Even eagles as they fly do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels I might add do it
Though it shocks em I know
Why ask if shad do it - garcon de "shad roe"
The world admits bears in pits do it
Even Pekingeses at the Ritz do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The royal set sans regret did it
And they considered it fun
Marie Antoinette did it - with or without Napoleon
Parliament pleasure bent did it
Mam'selles every time they're short of rent did it
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.
When you were very young, the world was younger than you,
As merry as a carousel,
The circus tent was strung with ever star in the sky,
Above the ring you loved so well.
Now the young world has grown old, gone are the silver and gold,
Chorus : Sit there and count your fingers, what can you do,
Old girl, you're through.
Just sit there and count your little fingers, unhappy little girl blue.
Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you,
It's time you knew,
All you can count on are the raindrops that fall on little girl blue.
No use, old girl, you might as well surrender,
Your hopes are getting slender, why won't somebody send a tender
I'm gonna live till I die
I'm gonna laugh stead of cry
I'm gonna take the town turn it upside down
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die
They're gonna say what a guy
I'm gonna play for the sky
Ain't gonna miss a thing,gonna have my fling
I'm gonna live live live until I die
Those blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then Hallelujah
Gonna dance gonna fly
I'll take my chance riding high
Before my numbers up I'm gonna fill my cup
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die
Those blues I lay low,I'll make them stay low
They'll never trail over my head
I'll be a devil till I'm an angel
But until then Hallelujah
Gonna dance gonna fly
I'll take my chance riding high
Before my numbers up I'm gonna fill my cup
New York, New York
Or a village in Iowa
The only difference is the name
If you're alone
Whether on Main Street
Or on Broadway
If you're alone
They are both the same
A town's a lonely town
When you pass through
And there is no one waiting there for you
Then it's a lonely town
You wander up and down
The crowds rush by
A million faces pass before your eyes
Still it's a lonely town
Unless there's love
A love that's shining
Like a harbor light
You're lost in the night
Unless there's love
The world's an empty place
And every town's

Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look up - look up
And seek your maker
Before (Mr.) Gabriel blows his horn
(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road
Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before (before) you travel on
True love - true love
What have I done
That you should treat me so
You - caused me
To walk and talk
Like I never did before
(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road
Look down - look down (look down - look down)
That lonesome road
Before (before) you (decide to) travel on
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonley than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
but night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue
I want your love, but I don't wanna borrow
To have it today and to give back tomorrow
My love is your love
There's no love for nobody else
(Intermezzo)
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intended to be independently blue
I want your love, but I don't wanna borrow
To have it today and to give back tomorrow
Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go,
You have made my life complete and I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled,
For my darling, I love you and I always will.
Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong and we'll never part.
Love me tender, love me sweet, all my dreams fulfilled,
For my darling, I love you and I always will.
Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine,
I'll be yours through all the years till the end of time.
Love me tender, love me sweet, all my dreams fulfilled,
The song a robin sings,
Through years of endless springs,
The murmur of a brook at eventide,
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide.
That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and I agree,
She's everything on earth to me.
That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and i agree,
They call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you've had a very un lady like way of running out
You're on this date with me
The Pickens have been lush
And yet before this evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
How nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck, be a lady with me
A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice
Let's keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick me with me baby, I'm the fella you came in with
Luck, be a lady tonight
Luck, let a gentleman see
Just how nice , how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair , and it's not nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guy's dice
So let's keep the party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady, tonight
Anymore it doesn't matter who's right or wrong.
We've been injurin' each other much too long.
And it's too late to try to save what might have been.
It's over; nobody wins.
Make believin' in forever is just a lie.
And it seems a little sadder each time we try.
'Cause it's a shame to make the same mistake again and again.
It's over; nobody wins.
We've gone too far, too long, too far apart.
The lovin' was easy; it's the livin' that's hard.
For there's no need to stay to see the way it ends.
It's over; nobody wins.
We've gone too far, too long, too far apart.
The lovin' was easy; it's the livin' that's hard.
For there's no need to stay to see the way that it ends.
It's over; nobody wins.
Writers: Miller/Conn
I don't know 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 (big fat) waste of time
Someday your heart will be - broken like mine
So why should I cry over you
(You broke my heart - you took it apart)
(So pack up your baggage and beat it)
(- Why should I cry over you)
It's fabulous, it's fantasy, it knocks me out tremendously, your love for me.
It never was obtainable, and now it's unexplainable, your love for me.
It's priceless and it's precious, it's a joy to reveal,
It's hard to believe just how lucky in love you have made me feel.
It's lovable, it's lyrical, it's something of a miracle, your love for me.
(Instrumental)
It's kinda like a bundleful of everything that's wonderful, your love for me.
Don't let me lose one hour of the magic, and the power of your love for me.
It's priceless and it's precious, it's a joy to reveal,
It's hard to believe just how lucky in love you have made me feel.
It's lovable, it's lyrical, it's something of a miracle, your love for me,
This time we almost made the pieces fit, didn't we?
This time we almost some sense of it, didn't we?
This time I held the answer right here in my hand
When I touched it, it had turned to sand.
This time we almost sang our song in tune, didn't we?
This time we almost made it to the moon, didn't we?
This time, we almost made (almost made) our poem rhyme
And this time we almost made that long hard climb.
Let me tell 'bout a gal I know,
She's my baby and she lives next door.
Every morning 'fore the sun comes up,
She brings my coffee in my favorite cup.
That's why I know, yes, I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.
When I'm in trouble and I got no friend,
I know she'll go with me down to the end.
Everybody asks me how do I know,
I smile a damn and say she told me so.
That why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.
Now if I call her on the telephone,
Tell her that I'm all alone,
By the time I count from one to four,
I hear her on my door.
In the evening when the sun goes down,
When there ain't nobody hanging 'round,
She just kisses me, and then holds me tight.
And tells me, baby, everything's gonna be alright.
That's why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just love her so.
That's why I know, yes I know,
Hallelujah, I just, I love her so.
That's why I know, yes I know,
Yesterdays
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine
And truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays
Then gay youth was mine
The truth was mine
Sad am I
Glad am I
For today I'm dreaming of
Of yesterdays
A day in the life of a fool
A sad and a long lonely day
I walk the avenue
And hope I'll run into
The welcome sight of you
Coming my way
I stop just across from your door
But you're never home any more
So back to my room
And there in the gloom
I cry tears of good bye
Well, the south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there you better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover
All the men just call him Sir
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Leroy, he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris
And ooh, that girl looked nice
Well, he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
Well, Leroy Brown learned a lesson 'bout messin'
With the wife of a jealous man
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Well, the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Oh, Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Yes, she's badder than old King Kong
And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all
And I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way
For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes it was my way
That's life
That's what all the people say
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I said that's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stomping on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world
It keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper,
A pirate, a poet,
A pawn and a king,
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself
Flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
I tell you, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird
And then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper,
A pirate, a poet,
A pawn and a king,
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself laying
Flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
That's life, and I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
But if there nothing shaking coming this here July
I'm going to roll myself up in a big ball
And die...
Hey there, mister, build a fence 'round your sister, it's the...
The boys' night out.
Hey there, buster, it's the Indians after Custer, it's the,
The boys' night out.
They're out to do the town, and before they're through,
It's bound to be likened to.
The night they lost the Titanic and the Wall Street panic.
What they're seeking is a little cheek to cheeking, it's the..
The boys' night out,
And that moon's about as big as a honey dew,
It's the boys' night out, and they're so romantic, I'll give you a clue,
What the boys are out after, the girls are out after too.
(music interlude)
They're out to do the town, and before they're through,
It's bound to be likened to.
The night they lost the Titanic and the Wall Street panic,
What they're seeking is a little cheek to cheeking, it's the..
The boys' night out,
And that moon's about as big as a honey dew,
It's the boys' night out, and they're so romantic, but I will give you a clue,
What the boys are out after, the girls are out after,
Every time it rains,it rains
Pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune's falling
All over the town
Be sure that your umbrella
Is upside down
Trade them for a package of
sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love,
You gotta have showers
So when you hear it thunder,
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
Da yat da-da-ya, yat-di yah
Da dat da-da-da, di-yat-dah
Pee-rac-ti-cal-I-ty de-us-n't int'rest me,
Loves the life that I lead.
I've got a pocket full of miracles,
And with a pocket full of miracles,
One little miracle a day is all...I need!
Tree-rou-bles, more or less,
Bee-ah-ther me, I guess
When the sun doesn't shine.
But there's that pocket full of miracles,
And with a pocket full of miracles
The world's a bright and shiny apple that's mine...all mine.
I hear sleigh bells ringing, smack in the middle of May!
I go around like there's snow around,
I feel so good, it's Christmas every day!
Lee-ife's a carousel, fee-ar as I can tell
And I'm ridin' for free.
So if you're down and out of miracles
I've got a pocketful of miracles,
And there'll be miracles enough
For you...and...me
(I hear sleigh bells ringing)
A-Smack in the middle of May!
I go around like there's snow around,
(I feel so good, it's Christmas every day!)
Mmm, Lee-ife's a carousel, fee-ar as I can tell
And I'm ridin' for free.
(I've got a pocketful of miracles,)
But if I had to pick a miracle,
I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad I'm livin' and happy to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
She'd never holler, she'd live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
Though she'd love to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her, why should I go?
She'd be unhappy without me, I know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
When I hurt her feelin's once in a while
Her only answer is one little smile
I got a woman, crazy for me
I took a trip on a train
and I thought about you.
We passed a shadowy lane
and I thought about you.
Two or three cars parked under the stars,
a winding stream,
the moon shining down on some little town
and with each beam, the same old dream.
At every stop that we made, oh, I thought about you.
And when I pulled down the shade I really felt blue.
I peeked through that crack and looked at the track
the one goin' back to you.
And what did I do?
I could make you care if only you'd let me,
I could make you care, you'd never forget me,
I can't resist, I'd be a fool to try,
I know if once we kissed, I could kiss my heart goodbye.
I knew this was love the moment I found you,
So I planned my life, it's built all around you,
Give me this chance, darling if you only would,
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She like the theatre and never comes late
She never bothers with people she hates
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doens't like crapgames with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
Tha'ts why the lady is a tramp
She like the free fresh wind in her hain, life without care
She's broke and it's oke
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
She gets too hungry to wait for dinner at eight
She loves the theatre, but never comes late
She'd never bother with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
She'll have no crapgames with sharpies and frogs
And she won't go to Harlem in Lincolns or Fords
And she won't dish the dirt with the rest of the broads
That's why the lady is a tramp
She loves the free fresh wind in her hair
Life without care. She's broke but it's oke
Hates California, it's so cold and so damp
That's why the lady. that's why the lady
That's why the lady is a tramp
Black cats creep across my path
Until Im almost mad
I must have roused the devils wrath
'cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf – and you can bet your life it rains.
I try to give a party - but the guy upstairs complains.
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains;
Everything happens to me.
I never miss a thing - I've had measles and the mumps.
And every time I play my ace my partner always trumps.
I guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps;
Everything happens to me.
At first my heart thought you could break this jinx for me.
That love would turn the trick to end despair.
But now, I just can't fool this head that thinks for me.
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air.
I telegraphed and phoned, sent an Air Mail Special, too;
You answer was goodbye - there was even postage due.
I fell in love just once, and then it had to be with you,
Everything happens to me.
I've never drawn a sweepstake, or a bank night at a show.
I thought perhaps this time I'd won, but Lady Luck said no.
And though it breaks my heart, I'm not surprised to see you go,
Everything happens to me,
I like New York in June, how about you?
I like a Gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due.
I like potato chips, moonlight motor trips, how about you?
I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And Franklin Roosevelt's looks give me a thrill
Holding hands in the movie show, when all the lights are low
How I love the kisses of Dolores
Aye-aye-aye Dolores
Not Marie or Emily or Doris
Only my Dolores
>From a balcony above me
She whispers Love me and throws a rose
Ah but she is twice as lovely
As the rose she throws
I would die to be with my Dolores
Aye-aye-aye Dolores
I was made to serenade Dolores
Chorus after chorus
Just imagine eyes like moonrise
A voice like music, lips like wine
What a break if I could make Dolores
Mine all mine.
I would die to be with my Dolores
Aye-aye-aye Dolores
I was made to serenade Dolores
Chorus after chorus
Just imagine eyes like moonrise
A voice like music, lips like wine
What a break if I could make Dolores
I wish that we could live up in the sky
Where we could find a place away up high
Live among the stars, the sun, the moon
Just you and I.
East of the sun and west of the moon
We'll build a dream house of love dear
Near to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We'll live in a lovely way dear
LIVING ON LOVE AND PALE MOONLIGHT
Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die, we'll keep it that way
Up among the stars we'll find
A harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon, dear
Stars in the sky were dancing
One night perfect for romancing,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
He wanted thrills, she wanted love,
Oh but his sighs were tender
As he begged her to surrender,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
And she believed that it was love.
How was she to know that every lovely vow
Was part of the game he was playing,
But to his surprise he realized
Somehow he meant every word he was saying.
Yes, miracles can happen,
I know 'cause I saw what happened
That night a sinner kissed an angel,
April played a fiddle
And my heart began to dance
And I was so surprised to find
My arms around romance.
April played a fiddle
And I memorized the tune
And later on, a dream and I
Went singing to the moon.
Then May began to gossip,
And June just winked her eye,
And you should have seen
The know-it-all expression on July.
April played a fiddle
Ah but here's the funny part,
I had to pay the fiddler
Take me, I'm yours if you'll take me, I want you to make me a part of your heart.
And hold me, I dreamed you would hold me, now really enfold me, say we'll never part.
All the love I have to give, I want to give to you,
And as long as I shall live, I'll only live for you,
Take me, and never forsake me,
Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never have been
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song
That field of corn, would never see a plow
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A man is born, but he's no good no how
Without a song
I've got my trouble and woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll
I'll get along, as long as a song
Is strung in my soul
I'll never know, what makes the rain to fall
I'll never know, what makes the grass so tall
I only know, there ain't no love at all
Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You can't get cherry soda
'Cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say no no no
The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
So you'll add to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
I know I said that I was leaving,
But I just couldn't say good-bye.
It was only self-deceiving
To walk away from someone who
Means everything in life to you.
You learn from every lonely day
I've learned and I've come back to stay.
Let me try again; let me try again.
Think of all we had before,
Let me try once more.
We can have it all, you and I again.
Just forgive me or I'll die.
Please let me try again.
I was such a fool to doubt you,
To try to go it all alone.
There's no sense to life without you.
Now all I do is just exist
And think about the chance I've missed.
To beg is not an easy task,
But pride is such a foolish mask.
Let me try again; let me try again.
Think of all we had before,
Let me try once more.
We can have it all, you and I again.
Just forgive me or I'll die.
Let's take it nice and easy
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love
Hey baby what's your hurry
Relax and don't you worry
We're gonna fall in love
We're on the road to romance - that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way
The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like the horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none, you can't have one without the other!
You know the one I love belongs to somebody else,
That's why she sings her songs to somebody else,
And even when you have your arms around her
You know her thoughts are with somebody else,
And when I hold her hand they belong to somebody else
And you can bet they're not so cold to somebody else,
It's tough to be alone on a shelf,
And it is worse to fall in love by yourself
Through a blurry window out above the rooftop,
I keep looking at the rain-swept sky
In this small apartment where she used to love me,
I just sit here as my life goes by.
There's no doorbell ringing, no sweet sounds of singing,
Just a silent room where tears won't dry.
Life is sad when people hurt you, sad when friends desert you,
Sad when dreams get lost beyond recall,
But remembering that love stopped blossoming,
And that's the saddest thing of all.
Once we had it made, our days one grand parade
Of thrills and laughter, only lovers know,
She was proud of me and we were young and free
One touch was all it took, and off we go,
Now above the rain, I hear a passing plane,
And all my loneliness begins to show.
Life is sad when people hurt you, sad when friends desert you,
Sad when dreams get lost beyond recall,
But remembering from spring to lonely spring,
There was a moon out in space
But a cloud drifted over its face
You kissed me and went on your way
The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres
Like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray
The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song
No bluer was he than I
The moon went down stars were gone
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say
Where is my old school teacher? I don't remember her name.
With a dunce cap, I was always her feature, I loved her just the same.
She stood by through my childhood, like small town school teachers do.
At some little school house here in the wild wood,
They taught men like Lincoln too.
One day I tearfully told her my mother expects me to pass,
Then she let me look over the shoulder of the brightest girl in the class.
Wish I knew how to reach her, I'd write a letter and say,
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher, I'd be a better man today.
Wish I knew how to reach her, I'd write a letter and say,
The music stopped
But we were still dancing
Which goes to show
That music has charm
The lights were low
So we kept on dancing
I felt the glow
Of you in my arms
The band had left the stand
And we were in heaven
Dancing on a cloud
Way off in the blue
The music stopped
And people were glancing
But we went on dancing
For we didn't know
Because the lights were low
And we were in love
The band had left the stand
And we were in heaven
Dancing on a cloud
Way off in the blue
The music stopped
And people were glancing
But we went on dancing
For we didn't know
Because the lights were low
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
I've seen that face before, that face that I see in the mirror
I know that face, I've seen that face before
I knew that dopey guy when he didn't know how to tie his tie
He stood right there and he had hair galore
The man in the looking glass, who can he be?
The man in the looking glass, can he possibly be me?
Where's our young Romeo, the lad who used to sigh?
Who's the middle-aged lothario with a twinkle in his eye?
He seem so much wiser now, less lonely but then
Could be he's only pretending again
Man in the looking glass, smiling away, how's your sacroiliac today?
Where's your first love affair, that tragedy d'amour?
The true love you thought would be the end of you for sure
Man in the looking glass, have no regrets
The man who's wise never forgets
That life is worth living if once in a while
The moon was yellow, and the night was young.
A smile brought us together, and I was wond'ring whether
We'd meet again someday.
The moon was yellow, and a song was sung.
That vocal inspiration gave me the inclination
To give my heart away.
Here we are! Is our romance to continue?
Will it be my luck to win you.
May I look that far? Ah! My love is
Chicago, Chicago--that toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago--I will show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down.
On State Street, that great street, I'd just want to say -
They do things they don't do on Broadway.
They have the time, the time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife.
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town.
Chicago, Chicago--that toddlin' town.
Chicago, Chicago--I'll show you around. I love it.
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago, Chicago.
The town that Billy Sunday could not shut down.
On State Street that great street, I'd just like to say -
They do things that they never do on Broadway.
They have the time, the time of their life.
I saw a man, he danced with his wife.
In Chicago... Chicago... Chicago.
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on it's way
Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part, you have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part, you have a head start
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
**Instrumental break**
'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 that I would never switch,
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
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 da. But you took my heart and you threw my heart away.that´s why I ask the lord, up in Heaven above, just hwat is this thing called love ?
South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered "manjanna"
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered "manjanna"
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
Writer(s): Cole Porter
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
(They've Got An Awful Lot Of Coffe Down In Brazil)
Way down among the Brazillians,
Coffee beans grow by the billions,
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill,
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.
You can't get cherry soda,
"Cause they've got to sell their quota,
And the way things are I guess they never will,
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil,
No tea or tomato juice,
You'll see no potato juice,
"Cause the planters down in Santos all say No! No! No!
A politician's daughter,
Was accused of drinking water,
And was fineda great big fifty dollar bill,
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.
Can I steal a little love
Can I steal a little love
Coo me honey I'm on fire
To steal your love is my desire
Hug me, squeeze (kiss) me, 'til I'm red
'Til my eyes bug out my head
Coo me, woo me, turtle dove
Can I steal (grab) a little love
(Please) Tell me, why are you driving me crazy
(And) Why do I dig you like I do
If I should steal a little kiss - and you can prove that it's (it was) wrong
(Hey/Honey) I'll give it back to you
Tell me honey with a smile
I can walk (will lead) you down the isle
I won't even need a shove
Lullaby and good night, with roses bestride,
With lilies bedecked. ’neath baby’s sweet bed.
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.
Lullaby and good night, thy mother’s delight.
Bright angels around, my darling, shall guard.
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.
(and these are the original words of brahms in german)
Guten abend, gut’ nacht! mit rosen bedacht,
Mit n„glein besteckt schlpf unter die deck’!
Morgen frh, wenn got will, wirst du wieder geweckt,
Morgen frh, wenn got will, wirst du wieder geweckt,
Guten abend, gut’ nacht! von englein bewacht,
Die zeigen in traum, dir christkindlein’s baum.
Schlaf’ num selig und suss, schau’ in traum’s paradies,
Schlaf’ num selig und suss, schau’ in traum’s paradies.
(without poetic embellishments, this is the direct translationof brahms)
Good evening, good night, covered with roses,
With tiny fingernails hidden, slipping under the blankets,
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.
God evening, good night, watched over by tiny angels,
Who show the little christ child’s tree in dreams,
Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream’s paradise.
Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream’s paradise.
Before we say good-bye forever
Come waltz with me, come waltz with me - once more
Before we let love die forever
Come waltz with me, the way we waltzed - before
Before our little world, just crumbled and fell
And tumbled, like a house of cards - to the floor
Before I'm left to sigh forever
And haunt the past - give me this last - encore
They're writing songs of love - but not for me
A lucky star's above - but not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play - can guarantee
I was a fool to fall - and get this way
Ah ho alas and awe - so lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess she's not - she's not for me
Old man sunshine - listen you
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it - and all start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me she will care
I'm certain - it's the final curtain
I never want to here from any cheerful Polly-Anna's
Who tell you fate supplies a mate - it's all bananas
It all began so well - but what an end
This is the time - a fellow needs a friend
When every happy plot
Ends with a marriage knot
That old black magic has me in it’s spell,
That old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine,
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine,
The same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts it’s slide,
Down and down I go,
Round and round I go,
Like a leaf that’s caught in the tide.
I should stay away but what can I do,
I hear your name, and I’m aflame,
A flame with such a burning desire,
That only your kiss can put out the fire.
’cause you’re the lover I have waited for,
The mate that fate had me created for,
And every time you lips meet mine,
Darling, down and down I go,
Round and round I go,
In that spin of love that I am in,
Under that old black of love.
IF you're feeling sad and lonely there's a service I can render.
Tell the one who loves you only, I can be so warm and tender.
Call me, don't be afraid you can call me, maybe it's late but just, call me.
tell me and I'll be around.
When its seems your friends desert you, there's somebody thinking of you.
I'm the one who'll never hurt you, maybe that's because I love you.
Call me, don't be afraid you can call me, maybe it's late but just, call me.
tell me and I'll be around.
Now don't forget me, because if you let me, I will always stay by you.
You gotta to trust me, that's how it must be, there's so much that I can do.
If you call, I'll be right with you. You and I should be together.
Take this love I long to give you. I'll be at your side forever -
call me, don't be afraid, maybe it's late but just call me tell me and I'll be around
call me, don't be afraid, maybe it's late but just call me tell me and I'll be around
Bye bye baby,
remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye.
Although I know that you care,
won't you write and declare
That though on the loose,
you are still on the square.
I'll be gloomy,
but send that rainbow to me,
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while,
I know that I'll be smiling with my baby,
by and by.
(Bye, bye baby, so long!)
Bye bye baby (just you remember that you're my baby when.)
When they give you the eye.
(And although we know that you care,
you just write and declare)
That though on the loose,
you are still on the square.
I'll be gloomy (gloomy),
but send that rainbow to me.
(Then the shadows will fly)
Though you'll be gone for a while,
I know that I'll be smiling
George speaking:
Hey Frances I don't know about you but I kinda need a break.
Maybe a trip or something.
Frank-
Fly me to the moon
Let me play up there with those stars

Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars

Hold my hand

You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

It's not that easy bein' green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standin' out like flashy sparkles on the water
Or stars in the sky
But green is the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
And green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain
Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder?
I am green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful
Baby won't you please come home
'Cause your daddy's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
Because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day
You will hear me say:
Like the folks you meet on
Like to plant my feet on the Brooklyn Bridge
What a lovely view from
Heaven looks at you from the Brooklyn Bridge
I love to listen to the wind through her strings
The song that she sings for the town
I love to look up at the clouds in her hair
She's learned to wear like a crown
If you've been a rover
Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge
Don't let no one tell you
I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge
All the folks in Manhattan are sad
'cause they look at her and wish they had
The good old Brooklyn Bridge
If you've been a rover
Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge
Don't let no one tell you
I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge
You'll miss her most when you roam
`cause you'll think of her and think of home
Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything starting to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come, and babe, won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come, and babe, won't it be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry
Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
All the beautiful strangers who held me for a night,
And fell down in the darkness on pillows soft and white,
All the beautiful strangers, all in the afternoon,
Who praised my flat little summer, and came back to my room,
All the beautiful strangers, they spoiled me for a time,
Thanks for the memory
Of things I can't forget
Journeys on a jet
Our wond'rous week in Martinique
And Vegas and roulette
How lucky I was
And thanks for the memory
Of summers by the sea
Dawn in Waikiki
We had a pad in London
But we didn't stop for tea
How cozy it was
Now since our breakup I wake up
Alone on a gray morning-after
I long for the sound of your laughter
And then I see the laugh's on me
But thanks for the memory
Of every touch a thrill
I've been through the mill
I've lived a lot and learned a lot
You loved me not and still
I miss you so much
Thanks for the memory
Of how we used to jog
Even in a fog
That barbecue in Malibu
Away from all the smog
How rainy it was
Thanks for the memory
Of letters I destroyed
Books that we enjoyed
Tonight the way things look
I need a book by Sigmund Freud
How brainy he was
Gone are those evenings on Broadway
Together we'd go to a great show
But now I begin with the Late Show
And wish that you
Were watching, too
I know it's a fallacy
That grown men never cry
Baby, that's a lie
We had our bed of roses
But forgot that roses die
Hey, read all about it, read all about it! Paper, mister?
Down in Nashville, Tennessee,
A little fella shouted this to me,
Buy a paper, know the news,
Or else I gotta sing the Newsboy's Blues.
Dig a nickel from your jeans,
A nickel buys a lot of jelly beans.
Hey there, mister, don't refuse,
I hate to have to sing the Newsboy Blues.
See the headlines, what do you read?
See the want ads, what do you need?
Read the funnies, what do you say?
I haven't even sold a single paper today.
Tell you what I'm gonna do,
Give me a nickel and I'll sing for you,
Tap the rhythm with my shoes,
My little song is called the Newsboy Blues.
See the headlines, what do you read?
See the want ads, say, what do you need?
Read the funnies, what do you say?
I haven't even sold a single paper today.
Tell you what I'm gonna do,
Give me a nickel and I'll croon for you
Tap the rhythm with my shoes,
My little song is called the Newsboy Blues.
I'll beat the rhythm with my shoes,
My little song is called the Newsboy Blues,
Paper! Get your evening paper here, what do you read?
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Denver
Before the summer storm
Oh, her eyes were tender
Oh, her arms were warm
And she could smile away the thunder
Kiss away the rain
Even though she's gone away
You won't hear me complain
I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me
There was a girl in Portland
Before the winter chill
We used to go a-courtin'
Along October hill
And she could laugh away the dark clouds
Cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday
As down the road I go
I've been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
He: I'm discontented with homes that are rented so I have invented my own,
She: Darling this place is a lover's oasis where lights where we chase is unknown,
He: Far from the cry of the city where flowers pretty caress the stream,
Both: Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in, don't let it abide in my dream.
He: Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two, and two for tea.
Just me for you, and you for me alone.
She: Nobody near us, to see and to hear us, no friends or relations
On weekend vacations, we won't have it known, dear, that we own a telephone, dear.
He: They will brake (?) and you'll awake, and start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take for all the boys to see.
Both: We will raise a family, a boy for you and a girl for me,
Can't you see how happy we will be.
Both: We will raise a family, a boy for you and a girl for me,
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Your magical kiss can take me just so far
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Don't leave me like this dangling from a star
You set me all aflame and it's so pleasin'
It sure would be a shame if you were only teasin'
So my love, before I go turn the light way down low
And talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Your magical kiss can take me just so far
Don't leave me like this dangling from a star
You set me all aflame and it's so pleasin'
It sure would be a shame if you were only teasin'
So my love, before I go turn the light way down low
Katie Casey was baseball mad,
Had the fever and had it bad,
Just to root for her hometown crew,
ev'ry sou-- Katie blew.
On a Saturday, her young beau
called to see if she'd like to go
To see a show but Miss Kate said, "No,
I'll tell you what you can do"
Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out to the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes your out.
Love may be a gamble or a lead pipe cinch,
Leave your heart in shambles, never give an inch
But however it goes, when it's under your nose,
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance.
Love may be a fire or a puff of smoke,
Moment of desire or it's go-for-broke,
But however it's planned when it closes your hand,
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance.
You may be the one in a million who's lucky to win that prize.
You may be the one in a million who gets it between the eyes.
Love may the ocean or a drop of rain,
Choosing as emotion or a constant pain.
You won't know what you've got till your heart is on a spot.
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance.
Love may be a double or a fate on balls,
Tiny water buffalo on Niagara Falls,
Though the cards in the game never turn up the same,
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance.
Love may be a gravel or a two-ton truck
Regal as a sable or a Donald Duck,
But you must not avoid what is basic as Freud,
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance.
Love is real devotion or it's inhumane.
Still without emotion or a hurricane
So remembering this, when it's close as a kiss,
Take a chance, take a chance on love,
Writer: Parks
I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you, for me it's true
It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say
To make the meaning come through
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like: "I love you"
("I love you, I love you,...")
Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan
Murmur to the night to hide its starry light
So none will see me sighing and crying all alone
Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me
Oh, Weeping willow tree
Weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
Once there was a thing called spring,
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine.
All the lads and girls would sing,
When we sat at little tables and drank May wine.
Now April, May, and June are sadly out of tune,
life has stuck a pin in the balloon.
Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me,
maybe it's because nobody needs me?
Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear! Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me,
Sleep warm, sleep tight, when you turn off the light,
Sleep warm, sleep well, my love.
Rest your head on your pillow, what a lucky pillow,
Close to you, so close to you all night.
Sleep warm, sleep well, let dreams within you dwell,
Sweet dreams of me, my love.
Close your eyes now and kiss me, and whisper you miss me,
Each place I go only the lonely go
Some little small cafè
The songs I know only the lonely know
Each melody recalls a love that used to be
The dreams I dream only the lonely dream
Of lips as warm as May
That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme
That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care
And you recall each fun time
Those picnics at the beach when love was new
It well could be the one time
A hopeless little dream like that comes true
If you find love hang on to each caress
And never let love go
For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness
Love lies have a way of sounding true,
when love lies comes from one as sweet as you,
I know I'm not an angel, dear,
but when you say that I am,
hh how I love to hear you.
Tell me, are you thrilled each time we meet,
and tell me, how I sweep you off your feet,
Although I don't believe a word,
And when I hear you call so softly to me,
I don't hear a call at all, I hear a rhapsody.
And when your sparkling eyes are smiling at me,
Then soft through the starlit skies, I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you're away,
My heart longs for you, so won't you stay?
My darling, hold me tight and whisper to me
Then soft through the starry night I hear a rhapsody
Just a melancholy echo ling'ring when the day is through,
It's the call of the canyon, once again I'm dreaming of you.
Every night I search the moonlight up and down the river shore,
It's the call of the canyon, maybe I will find you once more.
Standing there alone by the ashes of the fire we said would never die,
Will I ever find an ember burning from the days gone by.
Then I hear a lonely whisper as a little spark I see,
You give me your lips and your lips are so heavenly,
Stars in the sky are all free and they shine for me,
So does the moon in the blue,
All this is mine and heaven too.
You give me your arms and your arms are like angel wings,
Sweet to my ears is the song every bluebird sings,
Each rosebud kissed by the dew,
All this is mine and heaven too.
I own each summer day, each mountain capped with snow,
The sentimental breeze, the dreamy streams that flow,
Every country lane and every street of stone
Are highways of adventure made for me alone.
You give me your love and your love is a melody,
Deep in my heart I will carry this song with me,
You bring a love so divine, all this is mine
It's fabulous, it's fantasy, it knocks me out tremendously, your love for me.
It never was obtainable, and now it's unexplainable, your love for me.
It's priceless and it's precious, it's a joy to reveal,
It's hard to believe just how lucky in love you have made me feel.
It's lovable, it's lyrical, it's something of a miracle, your love for me.
(Instrumental)
It's kinda like a bundleful of everything that's wonderful, your love for me.
Don't let me lose one hour of the magic, and the power of your love for me.
It's priceless and it's precious, it's a joy to reveal,
It's hard to believe just how lucky in love you have made me feel.
It's lovable, it's lyrical, it's something of a miracle, your love for me,
Your love for me.
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, I'm lonely, as I can be.
I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see.
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around,
How I wish you'd come back to me.
(musical interlude)
I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see.
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around,
How I wish you'd come back to me.
There is no great big ending
No sunset in the sky
There is no string ensemble
And she doesn't even cry
And just as I begin to say
That we should make another try
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
There is no big explosion
No tempest in the tea
The world does not stop turning round
There's no big tragedy
Sitting in a coffee shop
With cheesecake and some apple pie
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye
Said so easily
Good-bye
Said so quietly
Good-bye good-bye good-bye
Just two always strangers avoid each other's eyes
One still make believing
One still telling lies
She tells me that I'm not to blame
But when I ask the reason why
She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye
Good-bye
Said so easily
Good-bye
Said so quietly
Good-bye good-bye good-bye
You told me it was so, a million dreams ago,
You held me in your arms, a million dreams ago.
So many dreams have flown, so many nights alone
I guess I should have known, it couldn't be.
I'll lock my mem'ries here in my heart
And here in my heart they'll stay.
And through the years, they'll always be part
A part of a lovely day
Goodbye, good luck old friend, I'll smile and just pretend
When I take you out tonight with me, honey, here's the way it's gonna be,
You will sit behind a team of snow-white horses in the slickest gig you'll ever see.
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry when I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top.
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters when I drive them high steppin' strutters,
Nosy folks will peep through the shutters and their eyes will pop.
Those wheels are yellow, the upholstery's brown, the dashboard's genuine leather.
With nice bright curtains that can roll right down in case there's a change in the weather.
Two bright side lights winking and blinkin, ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinking,
You can keep your rig if you're thinking that I care to swap
For that shiny little surrey with the fringe on the top.
(Would you say the fringe was made of silk?) Wouldn't have no other kind but silk.
(Has it really got a team of snow-white horses?)
One's like snow, the others more like milk (so you can tell `em apart)
All the world would fly in a flurry, when I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top.
When we hit that road hell for leather, cats and dogs all dance in the heather.
Birds and frogs will sing all together and the toads will hop.
The wind will whistle as we rattle along, the cows will moo in the clover
The river will ripple out a whispered song, and whisper it over and over.
Don't you wish you'd go on forever, don't wish you'd go on forever,
Don't you wish you'd go on forever and would never stop
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He ain't got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?
A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
And to fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
Sing, Sing, Sing, Sing,....Everybody start to Sing
La-dle-la...............whoa-ho-ho, now you're singing with a swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing.....everybody start to swing
La-dle-la........whoa-ho-ho, now you're swinging while you sing
when the music goes around, everybody goes to town
but, here's something you should know, ho, ho, baby, ho ho ho
sing, sing, sing, sing,....everybody start to sing
What can I do to prove it to you that I'm sorry
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care I wouldn't feel like I do
I was so wrong, right or wrong I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
So what can I say dear after I say I'm sorry
Baby I'm so (dog) I'm sorry
Got to prove that I'm so sorry
I made you cry and I'm so sorry dear
What can I say dear, what can I do
What can I say, what can I do
After I say I'm sorry
I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began
Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl I'd found
I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
Why did I buy those blue pajamas
Before that big affaire began?
My boiling point is much too low
For me to try to be a fly Lothario
I think I'll crawl right back and into my shell
Dwelling in my personal hell
I'll have to change my plan around
I lost the one girl I've found.
Never treats me sweet and gentle the way she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental, not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
But when the weekend's over and Monday rolls around
I end up like I start out, just cryin' my heart out
Doesn't love me like I love her, no, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good
Like a lonely weepin' willow who's lost in the wood
I got it bad and that ain't good
And the things I tell my pillow, nobody should
I got it bad, I got I bad, and it's no good
Though folks with good intentions, they tell me to save up my tears
I'm glad I'm mad about her, I can't live without her
Lord above, make her love me the way that she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
I got it bad and that ain't good
No good
No good
Poor Butterfly
'Neath the blossoms waiting
Poor Butterfly
For she loved him so
The moments pass into hours
The hours pass into years
And as she smiles through her tears
She murmurs low
The moon and I
Know that he'll be faithful
I know he'll come to me
By and by
But if he don't come back
Then I'll never sigh or cry
I just must die
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is just another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
And when I hear you call so softly to me,
I don't hear a call at all, I hear a rhapsody.
And when your sparkling eyes are smiling at me,
Then soft through the starlit skies, I hear a rhapsody
My days are so blue when you're away,
My heart longs for you, so won't you stay?
My darling, hold me tight and whisper to me
Alone and awake, I've looked at the stars
The same that smiled on you
And time and again, I've thought all the things
That you were thinking too.
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be
I have dreamed ev'ry word you'll whisper
When you're close, close to me
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so
that by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
In a dream the strangest and the oddest things appear
And what insane and silly things we do.
Here is what I see before me, vividly and clear:
As I recall it, you were in it, too.
I had the craziest dream, last night - yes I did
I never dreamt it could be
Yet there you were - in love with me
I found your lips close to mine - so I kissed them
And you didn't mind it at all
When I'm awake, such a break never happens
How long can I guy go on dreaming
If there's a chance that you care
Then, please, say that you do baby
If I lived the past over
Saw today from yesterday
I would be in love
Anyway
If I knew that you’d leave me
If I knew you wouldn’t stay
I would be in love
Anyway
Sometimes I think
Think about before
Sometime I think
If I knew then
What I know now
I don’t believe I’d ever change
Somehow
Though you’ll never be with me
And there are no words to say
I’ll still be in love
Anyway
If I knew then
What I know now
I don’t believe I’d ever change
Somehow
If I knew then
What I know now
I don’t believe I’d ever change
Somehow
The sleepless nights - the daily fights
The quick toboggan - when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses - and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again
The broken dates - the endless waits
The lovely loving - and the hateful hates
The conversation - with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again
No more pain - no more strain
Now I'm sane - but I would rather be Ga-Ga
The pulled out fur - of cat and cur
The fine mismating - of a him and her
I've learned my lesson - but I wish I were
In love again
The furtive sigh - the blackened eye
The words: "I love you - 'til the day I die"
The self-deception - that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again
When love congeals - it soon reveals
The faint aroma - of performing seals
The double-crossing - of a pair of heels
I wish I were in love again
No more care - no despair
I'm all there now - but I'd rather be punch-drunk
Believe me sir - I much prefer
The classic battle - between a him and her
I don't like quiet - and I wish I were
I always thought that I'd prefer single-blessed-ness
Thought that I'd like to stay free
I never thought my time would come to marry,
No wedding bells for me, I've changed my mind after all,
You are the one made me fall, for...
I used to smile at all the songs that were popular,
Nothing but love in each song,
I used to think those kind of songs were foolish,
Now I admit I'm wrong.
Love songs are part of my plan, show me the minister man, for...
I never knew I could love anybody,
Honey, like I'm loving you;
I couldn't realize what a pair of eyes and a baby smile could do.
I can't sleep, I can't eat,
I never knew a single soul could be so sweet,
I never knew I could love anybody,
A little voice, keeps talking to me
From (a) way down deep inside
What does this voice, keep saying to me
It says: "pass this affair and pass it wide"
You may be a puzzle, but I like the way the parts fit
Still that little voice says: "Go get your track shoes -put them on and get"
We could go the distance
And find us romance
I like your persistence
Your style and your stance
There's only one problem - the tiniest problem
I like to lead when I dance
Your eyes do the speaking
They talk with each glance
My will-power's creaking
I might take a (the) chance
And though you're the charmer - who could bend my armor
I like to lead when I dance
I like to steer the car - whenever I drive
And hold the door ajar - when we arrive
So if it's decided - that this is romance
My sweet, I'll repeat - in advance
I like to lead when I dance
(I like to lead when I dance)
When Adam bit the fruit - as fashions were then
He got that fig-leaf suit - for which Amen
So if it's decided - I'm wearing the pants
Then Eve, I'd say we've - got romance
I like to lead - I set the speed
I like to lead when I dance
Why was I born, why am I livin'?
What do I get, what am I givin'?
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
Some other versions may include an intro:
Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories
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,
You came to me from out of nowhere, you took my heart and found it free,
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere,
Make every hour as sweet as a flower to me.
If you should go back to your nowhere. leaving me with just a memory,
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere,
I reach for you like I'd reach for a star,
Worshipping you from afar, living with my silent love;
I'm like a flame dying out in the rain,
Only the ashes remain, smouldering like my silent love;
How I long to tell all the things I have planned,
Still it's wrong to tell, you would not understand,
You'll go along never dreaming I care,
Marie, the dawn is breaking
Marie, we'll soon be waiting
To find your heart is aching
And tears will fall as you recall
The moon in all its splendor
Your kiss so very tender
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart
CHORUS:
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Gone, gone, the love we knew
Blue is my world now I'm without you.
Repeat CHORUS
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Blue, blue, my world is blue
Learn to croon if you want to win your heart's desire,
Sweet melodies of love inspire romance.
Just whisper "You're so marvelous" and then when you do,
She'll answer you "You're so wonderful" and nestle closer to you.
Learn to croon, you'll eliminate each rival soon,
If you're heading for a sunny honeymoon,
It's a wonderful world, I'm just walking on air
Talk of heaven on earth, I've got more than my share
Haven't got a care, happy all day thru
In the region where the roses always bloom,
Breathing out upon the air their sweet perfume,
Lives a dusky maid I long to call my own,
For, I know my love for her will never die;
When the sun am sinking in dat Golden West,
Little robin red breast gone to seek their nests,
And I sneak down to dat place I love the best,
Ever'y evening there along I sigh.
Chorus: Ida! Sweet as apple cider,
Sweeter than all I know,
Come out! In the silv'ry moonlight,
Of love we'll whisper, so soft and low!
Seems as tho' can't live without you,
Listen, please, honey do!
Ida! I idolize yer
I've got my eyes on you, so best beware where you roam.
I've got my eyes on you, so don't stray too far from home.
Incidentally, I've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do, from a to zee.
I'm in the mood for love simply because you're near me
Funny but when you're near me, I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven is in your eyes, bright as the stars we're under,
Oh, is it any wonder, I'm in the mood for love.
Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade,
We´ve put our hearts together - now we are one, I'm not afraid.
If there's a cloud above, if it should rain, we'll let it.
Never thought I'd fall, but when I hear you call,
I'm getting sentimental over you.
Things you say and do just thrill me through and through,
I'm getting sentimental over you.
I thought I was happy I could live without love,
Now I must admit, love is all I'm thinking of.
Won't ypu please be kind, and just make up your mind
That you'll be sweet and gentle, be gentle with me
Daybreak, another new day,
The mist on the meadow is drifting away,
For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now,
And flowers break through their blanket of dew,
Sunrise, how lovely it seems
To see from my window a sky full of dreams,
As the white clouds sail on through the blue,
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you.
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you.
For the last time we have tasted
love's sweet tears by the fire's glow.
If our hearts are strong there'll be
no long good-byes when it's time to go.
But the strongest torch is sometimes broken
As the deepest vows aren't always spoken,
And the greatest wounds, we hide inside ourselves
Where they never show.
Dream away, child, let your dreams run wild.
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you.
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you.
When the Winter weds the Northern Wind
The child they bear is snow.
And the branches bow like worried bridesmaids
But the trees will grow.
Sun and Earth in time will come together,
God will give us back our summer weather,
But the mem'ries of that first sweet
Taste of love pass away so slow.
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or a lifetime of worries might claim you.
Dream away, child; let your dreams run wild
Or the years and the tears shed might claim you.
When there's no room left to live inside ourselves
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin', comin' to town
he's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' , comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
he knows when you're awake
he knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin', comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
he knows when you're awake
he knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin', comin' to town
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
’cause that’s the night that my sweetie and i
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don’t mind sunday night at all
’cause that’s the night friends come to call
And monday to friday go fast
And another week is past
But saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Mmmm... saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door
Until you’re in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories
Got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
Long to hear that: "All aboard!"
Seven, that's the time we leave at - seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track - that takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearning
Why did I decide to roam
Gotta take this sentimental journey
She says she's sleeping well
She says she's lost some weight
She says she's seen some shows
She says the city's strange
(So she says)
She says the weather's cold
She says there's been some rain
She says there's lots to see
She says she hopes we're fine
(So she says)
(So she says)
The price is high
High as the sky
And she says
She says
Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
(Musical Interlude)
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
Quiet nights of quiet stars (corcovado)
Writer(s): antonio carlos jobim
Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea, oh how lovely
This is where I want to be here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life’s ember.
I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke, have found with you,
The meaning of existence, oh my love
Rain falling from the skies
Like lonely tears through misty eyes
Rain streaming down my face
Brings memories my heart cannot erase
Here alone in all my sorrows
Waiting for the clouds to hurry by
Praying that a new tomorrow
Will put the sun back in the sky
Rain wash away my tears
So when that sun appears
You keep goin' your way - I'll keep goin' my way (I'll keep goin' my way, you keep rollin' your way)
River, stay 'way from the door
I just got (me) a cabin - you don't need my (you'll never need that) cabin
River, stay 'way from the door
Don't (you) come up any higher - I'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire - that is all I own (- and you can have that phone)
I ain't breakin' your heart - don't (you) start breakin' my heart
River, stay 'way from the door
(Stay 'way, get 'way, roll 'way, stay 'way)
(You dirty, old, muddy river, you)
Nathan, you must concentrate on the game. the town is up to here with high players. the greek’s in
Town. freddie bottle bates, scranton slim.
Nathan: I know, I know, I could make a fortune, but to make a fortune, I need a fortune. a thousand
Bucks, where do I get it?
The biltmore garage wants a grand, but we ain’t got a grand on hand.
And they now got a lock on the door to the gym at public school 84.
There’s a stock room behind mcklosky’s bar, but mrs. mcklosky ain’t a good scout.
And things being how they are, the back of the police station is out!
So the biltmore garage is the spot, but the one thousand bucks we ain’t got.
Why, it’s good old reliable nathan, nathan, nathan, nathan detroit,
If you’re looking for action, he’ll turn it to spot,
Even when the heat is on, it’s never too hot.
But for the good old reliable nathan, oh it’s only just a short walk,
To the oldest established permanent floating crap game in new yawk.
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere, everywhere,
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere,
And awful lot of lettuce for the fella who can get us to play.
If we only had a lousy little crap, we could be a millionaire.
Oh the good old reliable nathan, nathan, nathan, nathan detroit,
If the size of your bundle you want to increase,
I’ll arrange that you go broke in quiet and peace,
In a hideout provided by nathan, where there are no neighbors to squawk,
It’s the oldest established permanent floating crap game in new yawk.
Where’s the action? where’s the game?
Gotta have the game or we’ll die from shame.
It’s the oldest established permanent floating crap game in new york.
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
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.
We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather,
The flies and spiders get along together,
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.
Beyond the suns that guard this roof,
Beyond your flowers of flaming truths,
Beyond your latest ad campaigns,
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps.
He saves what others throw away.
He says that he'll be rich some day.
We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering radio station.

He: Tangerine, she is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine, when she dances by, senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she has them all on the run, but her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine
She: Tangerine, she is all they say
With mascara'd eye and shadow by Dache.
Tangerine, with her lips of flame
If the color keeps, Louis Philippe's to blame.
And I've seen clothes on Tangerine
Where the label says "From Macy's Mezzanine".
Yes, she's got the guys in a whirl, but she's only fooling one girl
My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants
My mama done tol' me, "Son, a woman'll sweet talk"
And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train a-callin, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
(My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-dah-whooee o' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back the blues in the night
The evenin' breeze will start the trees to cryin' and the moon will hide its light when you get the blues in the night
And take my word, that mockingbird’ll sing the saddest kind of song, he knows things are wrong, and he's so right
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow
I’ve been in some big towns and I heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know
A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night
Now nothing's impossible, I've 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 off, start over again.
Work like a soul inspired until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired, but you be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall to rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, start all over again.
(musical interlude)
You gotta work like a soul inspired until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired, but you be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall and then to rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.
(musical interlude)
Once again now:
Will you remember the famous men who have to fall and then rise again,
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

When I hear that serenade in blue
I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you
Sharing all the joys we used to know, many moons ago.
Once again your face comes back to me
Just like the theme of some forgotten melody
In the album of my memory, serenade in blue
It seems like only yesterday, the small cafe, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away, I hear you say forever more
And then the song became a sigh
Forever more became goodbye
But you remained in my heart, so
Tell me darling is there still a spark?
Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew
I'm walking behind you - on your wedding day
And I'll hear you promise - to love and obey
Though you may forget me - you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder - I'm walking behind
Maybe I'll kiss again - with a love that's new
But I shall wish again - I was kissing you
'Cause I'll always love you - where ever you go
And though we are parted - I want you to know
That if things go wrong dear - and fate is unkind

We're going through the impatient years
The years when the day seems twice as long
Restless and sighing and laughing and crying
And dreaming a dream people say is wrong
But we'll journey through
The impatient years
To each other's arms where we belong
Clinging together
I'm certain we'll weather the warm and stormy day
and impatient year
But we'll journey through
The impatient years
To each other's arms where we belong
Clinging together
I'm certain we'll weather the warm and stormy day
And impatient year

I love Paris in the spring time
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 here
(X2)
Forget your troubles and just get happy, you better chase all your cares away.
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy, get ready for the Judgment Day.
The sun is shining, come on get happy, the Lord is waiting to take your hand.
Shout Hallelujah, come on get happy, we're going to the promised land.
We're heading 'cross the river, wash your sins 'way in the tide.
I never cared much for moonlight skies, I never wink at fireflies,
But now that the stars are in your eyes, I'm beginning to see the light.
I never went for after-glow, candle light 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, shadow boxing 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 on my wine,
Beautiful miracle, pardon my lyrical rhapsody,
But can't you see, you've captured me.
Being so glamorous, can't you be amorous just with me?
Make it soon, take a look at the moon.
Love is just around the corner, any cozy little corner.
Love is just around the corner when I'm around you.
I'm a sentimental mourner, and I couldn't be forlorner,
When you keep me in a corner just waiting for you.
Venus de Milo was noted for her charms,
But strictly between us, you're cuter than Venus,
And what's more you got arms.
So cuddle in a corner, any cozy corner,
Though my world may go awry
In my heart 't will ever lie
Just the echo of a sigh
I'll see you again whenever spring breaks through again
Time may lie heavy between but what has been is past
forgetting
This sweet memory across the years will come to me
Though my world may go awry
In my heart 't will ever lie
Everybody has the right to be wrong at least once
Everybody has the right to be dunce-like, once-like
Not being too smart is, is no disgrace
What sets you apart is smilin' with egg on your face
Its naive to make believe that you're right, it's not
bright
Only fools go walking on thin ice, twice
You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get
along
All it takes is simply saying you're wrong when you're
wrong
And everybody has the right to be wrong
[brief musical interlude]
You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get
along
All it takes is simply sayin' you're wrong when you're
wrong
And everybody has the right to be
It can be a real delight to be
And I'd fight, fight for the right to be wrong
[Spoken:]
Don't blame me
For falling in love with you
I'm under your spell
But how can I help it
Don't blame me
Can't you see
When you do the things you do?
And I can't conceal
The thrill that I'm feeling
Don't blame me
I can't help it
If that doggone moon above
Makes me need
Someone like you to love
Blame your kiss
As sweet as a kiss can be
And blame all your charms
That melt in my arms
Crazy love, people say I'm crazy in love.
Just a fool, sighing sighs to the skies up above
It isn't normal or real, to feel heaven's right inside
your door.
But somehow that's how I feel, and I've never felt this
way before.
Crazy dreams, keep me clinging to this affair.
I'm insane to keep dreaming that you could care.
But I am a kind of a fool who stayed after school.
I've learned my lessons well,
Who told you I cared?
Who told you my secret?
A secret I've held in the depth of my heart now for years
Who told you I cared?
Who saw us together?
We met in a dream, in a dream where your vision appeared
Though I know it isn't right
We keep meeting every night
And your kisses make me feel that my dreams are, oh, so real
Who told you I cared?
Who broke the enchantment?
S'posin' I should fall in love with you
Do you think that you could love me too?
S'posin' I should hold you and caress you
Would it impress you or, perhaps, distress you?
S'posin' I should say "For you I yearn"
Would ya think I'm speaking out of turn?
And s'posin' I declare it,
would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posin', I'm in love with you
S'posin' I should say "For you I yearn"
Would ya think that I'm speakin' out of turn?
And s'posin' I declare it,
would you take my love and share it?
I can see a steeple - surrounded by people
Oh how real it all starts to seem
Just as the choir is singing - my alarm starts ringing
It's the same old dream
And then my thoughts inspire - a scene by the fire
In a cottage close by a stream
I know it all by heart now - we're about to part now
It's the same old dream
If you but knew
How many times I pretend - that I'm with you
I'm sure your heart would unbend - you'd see me through
Until my dream had a happy ending
And I can picture clearly - the things I love dearly
In the center you reign supreme
We kiss and I discover - I'm a lonesome lover
The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember in September in the rain
The Sun went out just like a dying ember
That September in the rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it's still September
That September in the rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it is still September
That September in the rain
That September that brought the pain
Should I reveal exactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
Should I recite beneath the pale moonlight?
And swear by the stars above you?
Could I repeat the sweetest story told?
Could I entreat, would it be too bold?
Should I reveal 'xactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
Could I repeat that sweetest story told?
Could I entreat, would it be too bold?
Should I reveal 'xactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
And swear by stars above you?
For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once I have something I know won't desert me
And I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say: "This is mine you won't take it"
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone who needs me
For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it"
Long as I know I have love I can make it
For once in my life I've got someone
For once in my life I've found someone

A foggy day, in London town
It had me low, and it had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
The British Museum, had lost its charm
How long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles, it hadn't past
And suddenly, I saw you standing right there
And in foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere
Song:Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Artist: Frank Sinatra
(Frank)
Oh The Weather Outside Is Frightful
But The Fire Is So Delightful
Since We've No Place To Go
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
It Doesn't Show Signs of Stopping
And I've Brought Some Corn For Popping
The Lights Are Turned Down Low
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
When We Finally Kiss Goodnight
How I'll Hate Going Out In A Storm
But If You Really Hold Me Tight
All The Way Home I'll Be Warm
The Fire Is Slowly Dying
And My Dear We're Still Goodbying
As Long As You Love Me So
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
(Backup Voices)
He Doesn't Care If It's In Below
He's Sitting By The Fires Gloosy Glow
He Don't Care About The Cold And The Winds That Blow
He Just Says, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
(Frank) Let It Snow!
(Backup Voices)
Oooooh Wee Goes The Storm
Why Should He Worry When He's Nice And Warm
His Girl By His Side And The Lights Turned Low
He Just Says, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
(Frank) I Don't Care!
(Instrumental)
(Frank)
The Weather Outside Is Frightful
But That Fire Is Ummm.. Delightful
Since We've No Place To Go
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
It Doesn't Show Signs Of Stopping
And I've Brought Lots Of Corn For Popping
The Lights Are Way Down Low
So Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
(Backup Voices) Let It Snow!
(Frank)
When We've Finally Say Goodnight
How I'll Hate Going Out In A Storm
But If You'll Only Hold Me Tight
All The Way Home I'll Be Warm
The Fire Is Slowly Dying
And My Dear We're Still Goodbying
Long As You Love Me So
Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!
Life is dull
It's nothing but one big lull
Then presto you do a skull
And find that you're reeling
She sighs and you're feeling
Like a toy on a string
And your heart goes: "Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding"
How could that funny face
That seemed to be common place
Project you right in to space
Without any warning
Don't know if its morning, night-time, winter or spring
What's the difference
Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding
She takes (grabs) your hand - this captivating creature
And like its planned - you're in the phone book
Looking (Hunting) for the nearest preacher
Life is swell
You're off to that small hotel
And somewhere a village bell
Will sound in the steeple
Announcing to people
Love's the loveliest thing
Before Lord God made the sea
land
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand
And one little star fell alone
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star in the wind down there
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost again.
Now, a man don't mind if the stars go
And the clouds blow over and darken him
So long as the Lord God's watching over him
Keeping track how it all goes on
But I've been walking through the night and the day
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Forgetting his promise and the word he'd say
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
Don't cry, Joe,
let her go, let her go, let her go,
Don't cry, Joe,
let her go, let her go, let her go.
You got to realize this is the wind-up,
You're gonna feel much better once you made your mind up.
Don't cry, Joe,
let her go, let her go, let her go.
So you lost your gal,
it's happened many times before,
So you sit and mope like a dope,
what's that good for,
Get a hold of yourself,
forget her,
you lived long before you met her.
There're lots of other girls,
so I say,
Don't cry, Joe,
let her go, let her go, let her go.
Don't cry, Joe,
let her go, let her go, let her go.
You got to realize this is the wind-up,
You'll feel much better once you made your mind up.
Don't cry, Joe,
let her go, let her go, let her go.
Take a look around and see just what you're missing,
You'll soon forget your troubles, Joe,
if you'd only listen.
So don't cry, Joe,
Ain'tcha ever coming back, aintcha? Can't ya see the difference it makes?
I'm half myself without your kisses,
One more night of doing without `em will drive me crazy
Won'tcha make me smile again, won'tcha? Just a word is all that it takes.
Your hello will let me know that we're the same as we used to be,

What is America to me
A name, a map, or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me
The house I live in
A plot of earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
Or the people that I meet
The children in the playground
The faces that I see
All races and religions
That's America to me
The place I work in
The worker by my side
The little town the city
Where my people lived and died
The howdy and the handshake
The air a feeling free
And the right to speak your mind out
That's America to me
The things I see about me
The big things and the small
That little corner newsstand
Or the house a mile tall
The wedding and the churchyard
The laughter and the tears
And the dream that's been a growing
For more than two hundred years
The town I live in
The street, the house, the room
The pavement of the city
Or the garden all in bloom
The church the school the clubhouse
The millions lights I see
But especially the people
- Yes especially the people
That's America to me
You're my girl the boys all know, you're my girl, I've told them so.
You should have seen how their faces fell when they were wishing me well.
They called me a lucky guy, and I couldn't hide a feeling of pride.
You're my girl, I've chosen you to be mine, my whole life through.
And if this heart of mine had a voice, you'd hear it second my choice,
You're what I've waited for, and you're my girl.
The kids that see me come to call have written your name and my name on the
wall.
It's common gossip everywhere, that you and I have got it bad for fair.
You're my girl, I've chosen you to be mine my whole life through,
And if this heart of mine had a voice, you'd hear it second my choice,
That old master painter from the faraway hills painted the violets and the daffodills
He put the purple in the twilight haze, then did a rainbow for the rainy days
Dreamed up the murals on the blue summer skies, painted the devil in my darlin's eyes
Captured the dreamer with a thousand thrills
The old master painter from the faraway hills
Then came his masterpiece and when he was through
He smiled down from heaven and he gave me you
What a beautiful job on that wonderful day
That old master painter from the hills far away
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
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm there was a chick
The purtiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick, she had curves everywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And oh, this chick, she had a walk, E-I-E-I-O
And how this walk would drive 'em wild swingin' to and 'fro
With a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there
Man, this chick had wiggles to spare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
When she went walkin' into town, E-I-E-I-O
The local gentry popped their eyes
Tarnation, what a show
With a goldang here and a goshdarn there
Heavens to Betsy I do declare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O
There was a barn dance Saturday night, E-I-E-I-O
And the fellas came from miles around
Just to see her do-si-do
With a promenade here and a promenade there
At a square dance, boy, this chick was no square
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
I used to be a travelling man, E-I-O
Until I hit MacDonald's place things were mighty slow
With a little chick here and a little chick there
I didn't have a real chick anywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
This farmer's daughter knocked me out, E-I-E-I-O, ah-hah
I asked MacDonald for her hand
And Pappy hollered Go!
With a little curve here and a little wiggle there
A goldang here and a goshdarn there
A do-si-do here and a promenade there
Got my own private county fair
'cause ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-O-I-O!!
I didn't know what time it was, then I met you
Oh, what a lovely time it was, how sublime it was too
I didn't know what day it was, you held my hand
Warm like the month of May it was and I'll say it was
grand
Grand to be alive, to be young, to be mad, to be yours
alone
Grand to see your face, feel your touch
Hear your voice say I'm all your own
I didn't know what year it was, life was no prize
I wanted love and here it was shining out of your eyes
(Let us break bread together on our knees.)
(Let us break bread together on our knees.)
(When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun,
(Oh oh Lord, have mercy on me.)
(Let us break bread together on our knees, on our knees.)
(Let us break bread together on our knees, on our knees.)
(When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun,)
(Oh oh Lord, have mercy on me.)
Let us drink wine together on our knees.
(When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun,)
(Oh oh Lord, have mercy on me.)
(Let us pray God together on our knees,)
(On our knees, let us pray God together on our knees)
(On my knees, when I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate to go out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Just for now, let's call it romance, just for now, let's take a chance,
We both know it would seem to be the real thing
That makes the bells ring, but dare we dream?
Just for now, let's not be clever, just for now, let's just be gay,
And come what may, that certain day will find us somehow
It will be always instead of just for now.
Just for now, let's not be clever, just for now, let's just be gay,
And come what may, that certain day will find us somehow
Just close your eyes
Dream a lovely dream
As our arms entwine
Your lips on mine
Just close your eyes
Let your heart reveal
What you're thinking of
Please say it's love
Don't let this glow
Forever disappear
Let me always know
That you'll be near, dear
Just close your eyes
And perhaps you'll see
Where our future lies
Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last!
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's Lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for
Long ago was you
(Instrumental)
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's Lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for
There's a few more lonesome cities that I'd like to see,
While the wine of wondering is still inside of me,
There's a few more pretty women that I'd like to know,
Bridge or two I'd like to cross, a few more oats to sow,
Maybe when I've done it all, seen all there is to see,
I'll find out I still cannot run away from me.
But as long as trains keep running, restless man I'll be
And there's a few more lonesome cities that I've yet to see.
Maybe when I've done it all, seen all there is to see,
I'll find out I still cannot run away from me.
But as long as trains keep running, restless man I'll be
And there's a few more lonesome cities that I've yet to see.
Let's take an old fashioned walk, I'm just bursting with talk.
What a tale could be told if we went for an old fashioned walk.
Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark
And a heart that's controlled, may relax on an old fashioned walk.
I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart,
There's nothing like walking and having a "heart to heart."
I know a girl who declined, couldn't make up her mind.
[VERSE:]
One minute to midnight, one minute to go
One minute to say good-bye before we say hello
[REFRAIN:]
Let's start the new year right, twelve o'clock tonight
When they dim the light, let's begin
Kissing the old year out
Kissing the new year in
Let's watch the old year die with a fond good-bye
And our hopes as high as a kite
How can our love go wrong if
Just friends
Lovers no more
Just friends
But not like before
To think of what we've been
And not to kiss again
Seems like pretending
It isn't the ending
Two friends
Drifting apart
Two friends
But one broken heart
We loved we laughed we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're
Just friends
We loved we laughed and we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're
Just friends
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 warning 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
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
Yes, I've got you under my skin
Whippoorwills call, evenin' is nigh
Hurry to my Blue Heaven
Turn to the right, there's a little white light
Will lead you to my Blue Heaven
You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room
Little nest that nestles where the roses bloom
Molly and me, and the baby makes three
We're happy in my, in my Blue Heaven
You're gonna see a smilin' face, fireplace, cozy room
And a little nest nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me, and the baby is three
We're so happy in my Blue Heaven
We're happy in my Blue Heaven
We're happy in my Blue Heaven!
My story is much too sad to be told, but practic'ly ev'rything leaves me totally cold.
The only exception I know is the case when I'm out on a quiet spree,
Fighting vainly the old ennui, and I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.
I get no kick from champagne, mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
So tell me why should it be true that I get a kick out of you ?
Some like the perfume from Spain.I'm sure that if I took even one sniff, it would bore me terrific'ly too.
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick ev'ry time I see you standing there before me.
I get a kick tho' it's clear to see you obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane. Flying too high with some gal in the skyis my idea of nothing to do.
Yet I get a kick, you give me a boost, I get a kick out of you.
Where do you live? in a brown-stone or an apartment house, a thousand feet tall?
Where do you live? in a penthouse? well, to be honest, I don't envy you at all.
'Cause I have a house, far from the city, it may be my own fault, but it's awful pretty.
Just an old stone house by a river, with an old dirt road running by,
There's a tabby cat and a welcome mat, and a blessed sun in the sky.
Just an old stone house by a river, with a few good friends dropping in,
There's some big old tree, and a gentle breeze and a little boy with a grin.
Oh yes, this is the place for me, oh yes, this is the place to be,
The valley and the flowers, the long peaceful hours, and beauty for any eye to see.
Just an old stone house by a river, and the door without any key,
Just a friendly place for a friendly face, just an old stone house and me.
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
Sometimes I feel discouraged and speak my words in
vain.
But then the Holy Spirit revives my soul again.
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
I know I've been converted, and Lord I ain't in a
chain,
'Cause is my Captain, and the angels done tie my hand.
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
I wanna go to heaven, Lord, I wanna go right.
I know I gotta keep praying, gotta pray both day and
night.
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
Jesus is a rock in the
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like the horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one, you can't have none, you can't have one without the other!
No Sir!
There will be many other nights like this,
And I'll be standing here with someone new,
There will be other songs to sing, another fall, another spring,
But there will never be another you.
There will be other lips that I may kiss,
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do,
Yes, I may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
If there will never ever be another you.
I'm a glum one
It's explainable
I met someone
Unattainable
Life's a bore
The world is my oyster no more
All the papers
Where I lead the news
With my capers
Now will spread the news
Superman
Turns out to be flash-in-the-pan
I've been around the world in a plane
Designed the latest IBM brain
But lately
I'm so downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
In Cincinatti
Or in Rangoon
I simply smile
And all the gals swoon
Their whims
I've more than just charted
But I can't get started with you
O tell me why
Am I no kick to you
I who'd always stick to you
Fly through thin and thick to you
Tell me why I'm taboo
Each time I chanced
To see Franklin D.
He always said
Hi buddy to me
And with queens
I've a la carted
But I can't get started
There will be many other nights like this,
And I'll be standing here with someone new,
There will be other songs to sing, another fall, another spring,
But there will never be another you.
There will be other lips that I may kiss,
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do,
Yes, I may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
I used to sit by my fireplace
And dream about you.
But now that won't do.
There's a flaw in my flue
Your lovely face in my firplace
Was all that I saw
But now it won't draw
My flue has a flaw
From every beautiful ember a memory arose
Now I try to remember and smoke gets in my nose
It's not as sweet as the unit-heat
To dream about you
So darling, adieu
Lyrics:
I'd like to get away, Junior
Somewhere alone with you
It could be oh, so gay, Junior
You need a laugh or two
A certain place I know, Frankie
Where funny people can have fun
That's where the two will go, Darling
Before you can count up
One, two, three. For ...
CHORUS
There's a small hotel
With a wishing well
I wish that we were there together
There's a (no) bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to share together
Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people – who wants people?
When the steeple bell says,
"Good night, sleep well,"
We'll thank the small hotel together
BRIDGE
Pretty window curtains made of chince
In a make believe land
On the wall are several cheerful prints
Of Grant and Grover Cleveland
Look out into the parlor and feast your eyes
On the moose head on the wall
Perhaps you’d like to play the organ
They tune it every other fall.
When the steeple bell says,
"Good night, sleep well,"
We'll thank the small hotel
We'll creep into our little shell
And when I told them how beautiful you are,
They didn't believe me. They didn't believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your cheeks, your hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You're the loviest girl that one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert'nly am goin' to tell them,
That I'm the man whose wife one day you'll be.
They'll never believe me. They'll never believe me.
That from this great big world you've chosen me!
And when I told them how wonderful you are,
They didn't believe me. They didn't believe me!
Your lips, your eyes, your curly hair,
Are in a class beyond compare,
You're the lovliest thing that one could see!
And when I tell them,
And I cert'nly am goin' to tell them,
That I'm the girl whose boy one day you'll be.
They'll never believe me. They'll never believe me.
Soft as a raindrop
Fresh as the sea
Warm as the sunshine
Shining on me
This is my love
This is my love
Light was her laughter
Few were her tears
Gentle her beauty
Tender her years
This is my love
This is my love
So young
So fair
Such bright golden hair
A smile always on her face
No other love
Can ever compare
No other can take her place
Others may cherish
Fortune or fame
I will forever
Cherish her name
For this is my love
Come to me, come to me, this is the night, our night for ecstacy,
A nightingale lifts up its voice and trills to the moon above,
Look on the thrills of love here in the night.
Hold me dear, closer dear, this is the night, one night to live a year,
The wind in the trees heaves a sigh, and whispers "No more goodbye,"
Making me vow that I will not let our love die.
Oh my sweet one, my complete one, take my love, this is the night.
Hold me dear, closer dear, this is the night, one night to live a year,
The wind in the trees heaves a sigh, and whispers "No more goodbye,"
Making me vow that I will not let our love die.
Thou swell, thou witty, thou sweet, thou grand
Wouldst kiss me pretty? Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too, what they do to me
Hear me holler, I choose a sweet lollapaloosa in thee
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me not a lot of, just a plot of land
And thou swell, thou witty, thou grand
(Instrumental)
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two
Two rooms and kitchen I'm sure would do
Give me plot not a lot of land
I'm coming home I've done my time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
If you receive my letter tellin' you I'd soon be free,
Then you'll know just what to do, if you still want me, if you still want me.
Tie a yellow ribbon `round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years, do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon ,round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me
If I don't see a ribbon `round the ole oak tree.
Bus driver, please look for me `cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see,
I'm really still in prison, and my love, she holds the key,
Simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free.
I wrote and told her please tie a yellow ribbon `round the ole oak tree,
It's been three long years, do ya still want me?
If I don't see a ribbon `round the ole oak tree,
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us, put the blame on me,
If I don't see a ribbon `round the ole oak tree.
Now the whole damn bus is cheering and I can't believe I see
(Lala lalalala, lala lalalala, lala lalalala, lalala.)
As one human to another, I'd like to question you (what's the question?)
If it takes the sun and the rain to make a tree grow, (that's a hard one)
If it takes the moon and the tide to make the sea flow,
What does it take to love a child? (to love a child)
To love a child (to love a child)
To love a child (to love a child), hmm, hmm, hmm (hmm, hmm, hmm)
[Said the bigger to the smaller raccoon, do you need someone to move you,]
[Said the smaller to the bigger raccoon, if you move I will follow.]
(Up they went to climb a tree, they end the day most happily.)
(Anything that they can do, humans can do too.)
As one human to another, I'd like to question you.
If it takes the sun and the rain to make the tree grow, (to make the tree grow)
If it takes the moon and the tide to make the sea flow, (to make the sea flow)
What does it take to love a child? (to love a child)
To love a child (to love a child)
To love a child (to love a child), to love a child (hmm, hmm, hmm)
To love a child (lala, lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala)
(lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala, lala lalala,)
To love - and be loved
That's what life's - all about
Keeps the stars - coming out
What makes a sad heart sing - the birds take wing
To love - and be loved
That's what living - is for
Makes me want you the more - the more we cling
Let others race - to the moon
Through time and space - to the moon
My goal is greater than this
To reach your lips - to share your kiss
To stay - in your arms
Is the dream - I pursue
To be sheltered - and safe - from the storm
To be cozy - and ever - so warm
And for always - to love
All of me - why not take (come on get) all of me
Can't you see - I'm no good (just a mess) without you
Take my lips - I want to lose them
Take (Get a piece of) my (these) arms - I'll never use them
Your good-bye - left me with eyes that cry
How can I - get along (ever make it) without you
(You know) You took (got) the part - that once was (used to be) my heart
Get in touch with that sundown fellow
As he tiptoes across the sand
He's got a million kinds of stardust
Pick you fav'rite brand, and
Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more
Let me stay, let me stay in your arms
Here am I, begging for only five minutes more
Only five minutes more of your charms
All week long I dreamed about our Saturday date
Don't you know that Sunday morning you can sleep late
Give me five minutes more (Here am I begging for), only five minutes more
(Let me stay, let me stay)
Hey drink up all you people
And Order anything you see have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all of you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me
Pardon me but I got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I got to find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come on fly with me, we'll float down in the blue
Fly with me, float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Fly with me, we'll take off in the blue
Once I get you up there where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so very near
You might even hear a gang of angels cheer just because we're together
Weather-wise it's such a cool, cool day
You just say those words we'll whip those birds down to Acapulco Bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they do say
Come on and fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Once I get you up there where the air is so rarefied
We're gonna glide absolutely starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so very near
You might even hear a gang of angels cheer just because we're together
Weather-wise it's such a groovy day
You just say those words we'll whip those birds down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they do say
Come on fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up your bags and let's get out of here
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, the 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 stop to cling, to some fading thing
That used to be
If you can forget
This is the beginning of the end,
I can see it in your eyes, in everything you do,
And you're afraid to tell me that we're through
But I can tell by looking at you.
This is the beginning of the end,
You just give yourself away with everything you say,
And though you never told me we must part,
Still I can read the writing in your heart.
Why is it now when I hold your hand
There is some little something that I miss,
What has become of the warmth in your smile,
And where is that little mischief in your goodnight kiss?
This is the beginning of the end,
I can see the thrill is gone, why let it linger on,
Why lie to me and say it isn't so
For when I hold you in my arms I know
Down where you lose the day,
We found a new world where paradise starts,
We traded high way down where the trade winds play.
Music was everywhere, flowers were in her hair,
Under an awning of silvery boughs,
We traded vows the night that I sailed away.
Oh trade winds, what are vows that lovers make,
Oh trade winds, are they only made to break,
When it is May again, I'll sail away again,
Though I'm returning, it won't be the same,
Two in love can face the world together,
hearts that cuddle up will muddle through,
The world may rock and rumble,
crowds may groan and grumble,
Thrones may even tumble too,
Darling, two in love can face the stormy weather,
laugh aloud at every cloud above,
And so we'll show them all what love can do,
Darling you and I know the reason why a summer sky is blue
And we know why birds in the trees sing melodies too.
And why love will grow from the first hello until the last goodbye.
The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back
The leaves began to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
I've tried so to forget, at times I do, and yet
The mem'ry of you lingers like our song
I wonder what he'll think of me
I guess he'll call me the "old man"
I guess he'll think I can lick
Ev'ry other feller's father
Well, I can!
I bet that he'll turn out to be
The spittin' image of his dad
But he'll have more common sense
Than his puddin-headed father ever had
I'll teach him to wrassle
And dive through a wave
When we go in the mornin's for our swim
His mother can teach him
The way to behave
But she won't make a sissy out o' him
Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill!
Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will.
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
And tough as a tree, will Bill!
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you won't see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around
I don't give a damn what he does
As long as he does what he likes!
He can sit on his tail
Or work on a rail
With a hammer, hammering spikes!
He can ferry a boat on a river
Or peddle a pack on his back
Or work up and down
The streets of a town
With a whip and a horse and a hack
He can haul a scow along a canal
Run a cow around a corral
Or maybe bark for a carousel
Of course it takes talent to do that well
He might be a champ of theheavyweights
Or a feller that sells you glue
Or President of the United States
That'd be all right, too
His mother would like that
But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be
Not Bill!
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
And as tough as a tree, will Bill
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you won't see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bastard'll boss
him around
And I'll be damned if he'll marry the boss' daughter
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water
Who'll give him a peck
And call it a kiss
And look in his eyes through a lorgnet
Say, why am I talkin' on like this?
My kid ain't even been born, yet!
I can see him when he's seventeen or so
And startin' to go with a girl
I can give him lots of pointers, very sound
On the way to get 'round any girl
I can tell him ...
Wait a minute!
Could it be?
What the hell!
What if he is a girl?
What would I do with her?
What could I do for her?
A bum with no money!
You can have fun with a son
But you got to be a father to a girl
She mighn't be so bad at that
A kid with ribbons in her hair!
A kind o' neat and petite
Little tin-type of her mother!
What a pair!
I can just hear myself bragging about her!
My little girl
Pink and white
As peaches and cream is she
My little girl
Is half again as bright
As girls are meant to be!
Dozens of boys pursue her
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her
>From her faithful dad
She has a few
Pink and white young fellers of two and three
But my little girl
Gets hungry ev'ry night and she come home to me!
My little girl, my little girl!
I got to get ready before she comes!
I got to make certain that she
Won't be dragged up in slums
With a lot o' bums like me
She's got to be sheltered
And be dressed in the best money can buy!
I never knew how to get money
But, I'll try, by God! I'll try!
I'll go out and make it or steal it

[PP:] She's a snooty little cutie, she's a pert little skirt,
She's a knockout and a beauty, and a flirt.
Such a dapper little flapper, she's just as cute as a train,
She's a kissy little missy, a vain little jane,
She's slick (doo doo doo roo doo),
She's a classy little lassie, a keen little queen,
And although sometimes she's sassy, and mean,
Just a fiend for romance is she, squirly little girly she,
She's a knockout, a beauty, snooty little cutie, snooty little cutie, she.
[CH:] You're a mellow little fellow, you're a coy little boy,
[FS:] You're a knockout and a beauty, you're a joy,

I'm a fiend for romance with you, [CH:] mellow little fellow you're mine,

[PP:] Yes she's a classy little lassie, a keen little queen,
And though sometimes she's sassy, she's never mean,
[CH:] I'm a fool for romance it's true, moonlight and kisses and you,
Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
It was just a neighborhood dance
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a masquerade ball
With costumes and all
'Cause you were at the dance with me
It was just a ride on a train
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a trip to the stars
To Venus and Mars
'Cause you were on the train with me
And when I kissed you, darling
It was more than just a thrill for me
It was the promise, darling
Of the things that fate had willed for me
It was just a wedding in June
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair
With everyone there
If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Oh what a thrill, it is to kiss her
Believe me, I've got a case
On Nancy, with the laughing face
She takes the winter and makes it summer
And summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughing face
Have you ever heard mission bells ringing
Well she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just to hear her say hello
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her
Sorry for you, she has no sister!
No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughing face!
Keep Audrey Hepburn, and keep Liz Taylor
Nancy's the feature, they're just the trailer.
No angel could replace,
A small Caf?Mam'selle, our rendezvous, Mam'selle.
The violins were warm and sweet, and so were you Mam'selle.
And as the night danced by, a kiss became a sigh,
Your lovely eyes seemed to sparkle just like wine does
No heart ever yearned the way that mine does for you.
And yet I know too well someday you'll say goodbye,
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
So open up your heart and let
Fly me to the moon
Let me swing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Why don't you fill my heart with song?
Let me swing forever more
Because you are all I long for
All I worship and I adore
In other words, please be true
In other words
In other words, I, I love, you
Volare, oh oh, cantare, oh oh oh oh
Let's fly way up to the clouds, away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like bird of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh oh, e contare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings
Your love has given me wings
Penso che un sogno cosi non ritorni mai piu
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d'improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito
Volare, oh oh, e contare, oh oh oh oh
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu
E volavo, volavo felice piu in alto del sole ed ancora piu su
Mentre il mondo pian piano spariva lontano laggiu
Una musica dolce suonava soltanto per me
Volare, oh oh, e cantare, oh oh oh oh
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Nel blu, dipinto di blu, felice di stare lassu
(This is the English Version)
Sometimes the world is a valley of heartaches and tears,
And in the hustle and bustle, no sunshine appears,
But you and I have our love always there to remind us
There is a way we can leave all the shadows behind us.
Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Let's fly way up in the clouds,away from the maddening crowds
We can sing in the glow of a star that I know of
Where lovers enjoy peace of mind
Let us leave the confusion and all disillusion behind
Just like birds of a feather, a rainbow together we'll find
Volare, oh, oh! Cantare, oh, oh, oh, oh!
No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings
Your love has given me wings, your love has given me wings

Wait for me my love my restless heart must roam
Wait for me my love and i`ll be coming home.
But now i cant change something strange roars me on
My love cant you see i`m not free `till it`s gone.
Wait for me my love for i am young in dream
and my heart must chase those ripples on the stream.
So keep faith in your heart keep your love ever true
for if you felt like me i`d wait for you.
(Femail Chorous Interlude)
So keep faith in your heart keep ypur love ever true
I guess I'll to dream the rest
If you can't remember the things that you said
The night that my shoulder held your sleepy head
If you believe that parting's best,
I guess I'll have to dream the rest.
I guess I'll have to dream alone
Of honeymoon cruises once dear to my heart,
Of one room apartments that we said we'd start
Of foolish things we planned to own,
I guess I'll have to dream alone.
I can see that your heart has gone astray,
As for me, I love you the same old way.
I guess I'll have to dream the rest,
There'll be no friends waiting to throw shoes and rice
Those heavenly moments will never come twice
I'm thankful for the hours you've blessed,
You always looked a little out of place
All grown up with freckles on your face
We'd spend each night with company
Just you, the teddy bear, the dolls and me
What a funny girl you used to be
You always had a thousand things to do
Getting all involved with something new
Always some new recipe the kitchen
Always looked like World War Three
What a funny girl you used to be
It was so good with you around
You always found a smile
Where smiles could not be found
I never ever met a person more sincere
You'd always listen with an open ear
You'd fall for lines so easily
Whatever they were selling you'd buy three
What a funny girl you used to be
What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one I have been thinking of.
What kind of man is this? An empty shell, a lonely cell
In which an empty heart must dwell?
What kind of lips are these that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am.
What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life?
Why can't I cast away the mask of play and live my life?
Why can't I fall in love, till I don't give a damn?
My name is Francis Albert (Francis Albert Sinatra)
And I sing love songs mostly after dark, mostly in salons.
I've had some very good years.
I haven't missed a whole lot in those firecracker years,
And I don't want to miss a thing when the future appears.
I like to sit outside on a summer night with a drink in my hand.
And a little moonlit music on the stereo, and look at the stars.
Then I get an urge to travel to that fabulous sky,
If they can do it in the movies, why can't I?
"Seats are now available on the Satellite Special",
"leaving for Mercury and Venus, Pluto, Saturn, Neptune."
What time is the next miracle, I want to be on board,
Save me a seat by the window where I can see
All those marvelous things to be seen out there.
(The things to be seen out there, all there)
What time does the next miracle leave?
Let's get this show on the road,
And when the Satellite Tours begin,
Count me in,
"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one."
(musical interlude)
When I arrive at Venus, it will surely be spring,
And the girl I have waited for, will be waiting for me,
And she'll dance with me all the afternoon,
Comfort me when the darkness falls,
And she'll still be there in the morning when I need her the most.
Maybe when I get to Venus, I will never be lonely again.
"The Satellite Special leaving for Jupiter, Saturn,"
"Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn," (Jupiter, Saturn)
Jupiter makes with the rain, Saturn makes with the crop,
A nicer trade was never made, and hopefully never stops.
If Saturn's fields are dry, Jupiter won't stay fat,
So Jupiter leaves its fortunes on and
"Next stop, Pluto where the devils dwell, hahahahahahaha"
Pluto is a rotten place an evil place they got in space,
It's Hades (it's Hades) filled with rats for self-defense,
A sordid flock of Cr妋e Nomen.
And ladies (ladies? Ladies, ladies, ladies)
It's pure hell when your journey ends there,
But you can bet your ass I'll lead a lot of friends there,
(We're getting R A )
"Next stop, Mercury, Mercury, Neptune"
Mercury will lead us out to Neptune and her deep blue sea.
(musical interlude)
(And then) And then to Uranus (Uranus)
Uranus is heaven,
(Heaven, heaven, oh you know indeed, is it really heaven?)
How will I know? I will know, if they need me at the station,
With some cheese and some Mayo pizza,
Well done (well done), and a little red wine.
"The Satellite Special now leaving non-stop for earth, non-stop for earth"
(Move along, move along, it's time we were getting on board.)
Please let me off at the desert, where I can see
All those wonderful things to be seen down there.
What'll I do
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do
What'll I do
When I am wondering who
Is kissing you
What'll I do
What'll I do
With just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
Old Watertown
Nothing much happenin'
Down on Main
'Cept a little rain
Old Watertown
Everyone knows
The perfect crime
Killin' time
And no one's goin' anywhere
Livin's much too easy there
It can never be a lonely place
When there's the shelter of familiar faces
Who can say
It's not that way
Old Watertown
So much excitement
To be found
Hangin' round
There's someone standing in the rain
Waiting for the morning train
It's gonna be a lonely place
Without the look of familiar faces
But who can say
So close your eyes
For thats a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
You can't deny don't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was halfpast three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch the wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
When I saw you first the time was halfpast three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity
By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me
Weep they will - will the lads down the street
When they find (that) you're promised to me
Weep they will - as their hearts lose a beat
At the thought you'll no longer be free
Oh smug, am I - warm and snug, am I
When you're close in my arms - just like this
It's so easy to see - they're jealous of me
There's so much love - they will miss
Weep they will - at the sound of the news
That we're seen all over the town
Eyes will fill - but they still will refuse
To believe that you've turned them all down
I don't blame them - I don't blame them
They've lost a sweet victory
And (Oh) weep they will - oh weep they will
You always looked a little out of place
All grown up with freckles on your face
We’d spend each night with company
Just you, the teddy bear, the dolls and me
What a funny girl you used to be
You always had a thousand things to do
Getting all involved with something new
Always some new recipe the kitchen
Always looked like world war three
What a funny girl you used to be
It was so good with you around
You always found a smile
Where smiles could not be found

You’d always listen with an open ear
You’d fall for lines so easily
Whatever they were selling you’d buy three
What a funny girl you used to be
What a funny girl you used to be...
Everynight with my star friends
We eat caviar and drink champage
Sniffing in the VIP area
We talk about Frank Sinatra..
"You know Frank Sinatra?"
He's dead!

Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don't mind Sunday night at all
'Cause that's the night friends come to call
And Monday to Friday go fast
And another week is past
But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
mmmm... Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
We fell in love one summer night,
The stars hang low, the moon was white,
That's where I'll start when I write my memoirs.
The way you look, the things you said,
The clothes you wore, the books you read,
I'll tell of all these things in my memoirs.
As the pages turn, love lives anew, worth paint a picture of you
Read between the lines, dear, if you will,
And you will learn that I love you still.
And there's a footnote referring you
Back to the night you said we're through.
There's nothing more to say in my memoirs.
[We fell in love one summer night,]
[The stars hang low, the moon was white,]
[That's where I'll start when I write my memoirs.]

My first edition is written for you,
It isn't fiction, the story is true,
And my heart is stirred by each little word
Telling how sweet you are.
My first edition has pages of dreams,
My great ambition for you is the theme,
And each little phrase expresses some praise,
Telling how sweet you are.
I wrote a preface about your profile,
And I wrote a chapter 'bout your kiss.
I'm elated to dedicate it to the one inspiring me in this.
My first edition is never to end,
With each rendition, I'll write it again
I cherish each part with all of my heart,
Darling, how sweet you are.
(He always thought he'd like to write a book or two),
(But never had a reason till he looked at you),
(Now every night he beams delight, and writes triple triple triple triple,)
(Truth and fiction were the same to him until he metcha)
(And got inspiration, now it's romance,)
(Come on, Connie, here's your chance to free lance)
[Here I am, and while I'm here, love, say ]
[This first edition was written for me,]
[It isn't fiction, it's easy to see,]

I'm elated to dedicate it to the one inspiring me in this.
My first edition is never to end
With each rendition, I'll write it again.
I cherish each part with all of my heart,
It's all so new to me to have you care,
A lifetime of romance and joy that we can share.
It's all so new to me, I can't believe
That this is love that lasts, enchanting and unsurpassed.
Sapphire skies of blue and nights alone with you,
The sun shines through the darkest day, and finds us happy, oh so gay.
It's all so new to me, it's such a thrill,
To know that you belong to me and always will.
(It's all so new to me to have you care)
(Makes a lifetime of romance and joy that we can share)
(It's all so new to me, I can't believe)
(Oh that this is love at last, enchanting, and unsurpassed)
Sapphire skies of blue and nights alone with you,
The sunshine through the darkest day and finds us happy, oh so gay,
(full musical rendition, as Tommy always does)
Tommy Dorsey: Frank, are you kicking your two heels for this Valentine B-2?
Frank: Man, I'm too brought down by the weather to kick my heels about anything.
Tommy: Thanks to a fare-thee-well by February 14, eh Frank? Well, I never saw a case of wintertime
blues that a little singing wouldn't fix. So give out with a chorus of It All Comes Back To Me Now,
and it'll all come back to you. I guarantee it.
Frank sings:
It all comes back to me now, a starry summer sky,
A laughing you and I, alone.
It all comes back to me now, a sea of midnight blue,
Your face uplifted to my own.
We called it a thrill of the moment, and blamed the moon up above,
We didn't know what the glow meant, we never dreamed it might be love.
It all comes back to me now, the love I threw away,
And now each lonely night I pray, that it will all come back to me someday.
Tommy Dorsey: Now here's a fellow, here's a fellow you all know, here's Frankie Sinatra.
Frank: Hello.
Tommy: How're you feeling, Frank?
Frank: Oh, all right. I guess.
Tommy: You had a bad throat last week sometime, didn't you?
Frank: Yeah, but it's much better now, thank you.+
Tommy: Sounds good now, does it?
Frank Uh huh, we hope.
Tommy: (laughs) Well, I'll put you to work if you don't mind. You don't mind going to work?
Frank: Not at all
Tommy: Tell them about bonds, will you, Frank?
Frank: (reads) It says here: Are you investing your dollars along with the millions of real
Americans? Have you joined the ten percent club, investing at least one dollar out of every ten of
your income every week or pay-day in war bonds? If not, sign up where you work today.
Tommy: Thank you, Frankie. And you're going to sing, what song? You're going to sing, you know.
Frank: I'm going to sing Be Careful It's My Heart.
There I go, leading with my heart again
And there I go, acting not so smart again
But though it's unwise, I can't disguise my love.
Though I know too much love may curb the fire
There I go, led astray by my desire
There's no golden rule to guide a fool in love.
I tell my heart, "Be careful, or you'll find that you dream alone."
I'm wise it's true, what good does it do?
My heart has a mind of its own.
There I go, spilling all the dreams I knew
And there I go thrillingly in love with you.
That's how it goes when you're in love with someone,
And someone's not in love with you.
It seems your heart and soul defy each frustrated desire
Of not seeing you, nothing I can do.
That's how it goes when you're in need of someone,
Who understands the way you feel,
But that's a dream that never will come true,
Sunrise over Taxco, streaking gold in the morning sky,
Sunrise over Taxco, spilling dreams on the lover's eye.
Down the valley, clear cathedral bells call the padres from their "doce sarao,"
Sunrise over Taxco, bringing peace to my love and I.
(musical interlude)
Down the valley, clear cathedral bells call the padres from their "doce sarao,"
(Sunrise over Taxco, bringing peace to my love and I.)
Is there a chance, is there a chance for me?
Is there some room in your heart, is there a place for me?
Is there a way, some way that I could thrill you,
Some other word I might say, something that I could do?
There could be sunshine and so much gladness,
Without you, darling, I'm filled with sadness.
So, is there a chance our love affair will be
More than a passing romance, is there a chance for me?
(Is there a chance, is there a chance for me?)
(Is there some room in your heart, is there a place for me?)
[Is there a way, some way that I might thrill you,]
[Some other word I might say, something that I could do?]
There could be sunshine and so much gladness,
Without you, darling, I'm filled with sadness.
(Tell me, is there a chance our love affair will be)
(More than a passing romance,) (for me, just a chance for me?)
I've lost my heart again, just how, I don't recall,
You found my heart and then, it wasn't mine at all.
I'm sure that all my life was just a prologue leading up to you.
The moment that we met, I knew.
I've lost my heart again, this time I know it's real,
I've lost my head again, and it's run away I feel.
Loving you the way I do, has changed my point of view,
So how can I lose my heart again when it belongs to you.
(I've lost my heart again, just how, I don't recall,)
(You found my heart and then, it wasn't mine at all)
[I'm sure that all my life was just a prologue leading up to you]
[The moment that we met, I knew.]
(I've lost my heart again, this time I know it's real.)
(I've lost my head again, it's run away, I feel.)
The season is upon us now
A time for gifts and giving
And as the year draws to its close
I think about my living
The Christmas time when I was young,
The magic and the wonder,
But colors dull and candles dim,
And dark my standing under
O little Zachary, shining light
You've set my soul to dreaming
You've given back my joy in life
And filled me with new meaning
A Savior King was born that day,
A baby just like you,
And as the Magi came with gifts,
I come with my gift too
That peace on Earth fills up your time,
That brotherhood surrounds you.
That you may know the warmth of love,
And wrap it all around you
It's just a wish, a dream I'm told
From days when I was young
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
Merry Christmas, everyone
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
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,
Your hand feels so grand in mine, people will say we're in love.
Don't dance all night with me, till the stars fade out of sight,
Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
I want you near, every day in the year
Oh, won't you tell me when we will meet again
Sunday, Monday or always
If you're satisfied, I'll be at your side
Sunday, Monday or always
No need to tell me now what makes the world go 'round
When at the sight of you, my heart begins to pound and pound
And what am I to do, can't I be with you
Sunday, Monday or always
Always and forever I must be with you
Beginning Sunday and Monday and then forever
Oh, won't you tell me when we will meet again
Sunday, Monday or always
If you're satisfied, I'll be at your side
Sunday, Monday or always
No need to tell me now what makes the world go 'round
When at the sight of you, my heart begins to pound, pound, pound
What am I to do, can't I be with you
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
What makes the tide remember to hide and why does it soon rise?
What makes a star fall?
Where does it fall to?
Why does its flight make us stop in the night and wish as we all do?
And what holds a cloud together?
What makes the sky so blue?
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
Is it my love for you?
And what holds a cloud together?
And what makes the sky so blue?
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
Don't forget tonight tomorrow though we may be far apart,
If you forget tonight tomorrow,
you'll leave me with a broken heart.
Are your kisses only mine tomorrow,
say you love me and you will be true.
And don't forget tonight tomorrow,
I came down from Butte, Montana,
for a little change of scene,
And I stopped to stay in Santa Fe,
where I met a pretty queen.
Hair of gold, eyes of blue,
lips like cherry wine
She's the prettiest gal I ever know and I'm gonna make her mine.
Now I planned to leave on Monday,
but she held me kinda tight,
So I stood my ground and hung around,
and then I left on Friday night.
Oh, hair of gold, eyes of blue,
lips like cherry wine,
In the night, though we're apart
There's a ghost of you within my haunted heart.
Ghost of you, my last romance,
Lips that laugh, eyes that dance.
Haunted heart won't let me be,
Dreams repeat a sweet but lonely song to me.
Dreams are just; it's you who must belong to me
And thrill my haunted heart,
It only happens when I dance with you
That trip to Heaven till the dance is through
With noone else do the heavens seem quite so near
Why does it happen, dear, only with you?
Two cheeks together can be so sublime
Especially when those cheeks are yours and mine
I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through
But the thrill that comes with spring,
The moon was all aglow and heaven was in your eyes
The night that you told me those little white lies.
The stars all seemed to know that you didn't mean all those sighs
The night that you told me those little white lies.
I try but there's no forgetting when evening appears,
I sigh but there's no regretting in spite of my tears.
The devil was in your heart but heaven was in your eyes
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
Now is the hour when we must say goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea.
While you're away, oh, PLEASE, remember me.
When you return, you'll find me waiting here.
Sunset glow fades in the west. Night o'er the valley is creeping.
Birds cuddle down in their nest, soon all the world will be sleeping.
Now is the hour when we must goodbye.
Soon you'll be sailing far across the sea.
While you're away, oh, PLEASE, remember me.
Dear, when you smiled at me
I heard a melody.
It haunted me from the start.
Something inside of me
started a symphony.
Zing! Went the strings of my heart!
'Twas like a breath of spring.
I heard a robin sing
about a nest set apart.
All nature seemed to be
in perfect harmony.
Zing! went the strings of my heart!
Your eyes made skies seem blue again.
What else could I do again
but keep repeating through and through
I love you, love you!
I still recall the thrill,
I guess I always will,
I hope 'twill never depart.
I knew I loved you heaps
and you were mine for keeps.
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'd bet
Love comes but once and yet
I'm oh so glad we met
The shadow of your smile
When you have gone.
Will colour all my dreams
And light the dawn.
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are to me.
Our wistful little star
Was far too high.
A teardrop kissed your lips,
And so did I.
Now when I remember spring,
And every lovely thing,
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile.
I'm not much to look at, I'm nothing to see
I'm just glad I'm living, lucky to be
I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar, I ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler, she'd live in a tent
I've got a woman, crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
Though she loves to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her?, Why should I go?
She'd be unhappy without me I know
I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began.
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face?
Can't you see
I'm longing to be in his place?
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Ask him to sit this one out. while you're alone,
I'll tell the waiter to tell him he's wanted on the telephone.
You've been locked in his arms ever since heaven-knows-when.
Won't you change partners and then,
How do you keep the music playing
How do you make it last
How do keep the song from fading
Too fast
How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way
How do you not run out of new things
To say
And since you know we're always changing
How can it be the same
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart will fall apart
Each time you hear her name
I know the way I feel for you is now or never
the more I love the more there I’m afraid
That in yours eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day
To make it better as it goes
With any luck than I suppose
Did you say (that) I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
And if a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
I've played loves scenes in a flick or two
And I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two
Hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it
Kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it
Hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
When there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
Single in a bed for two
What I need most is post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons
Love walked right in, and drove the shadows away
Love walked right in, and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment, and my heart seemed to know - that love said hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look, and I'd forgot the gloom of the past
One look, and I had found my future at last
One look, and I had found a world completely new
Moonlight on the Ganges, my little Hindu,
When I whisper love's sweet melody,
All our dreams and our schemes came true.
Someday on the Ganges, I'll need you once more,
And I'll kiss you and caress you
Where the waters kiss the silent shore.
(musical interlude)
Moonlight on the Ganges, my little Hindu,
When I whispeedr love's sweet melody,
All our dreams and our schemes came true.
Someday on the Ganges, I'll need you once more,
And I'll kiss you and caress you
There were shadows on the sand closely mingled,
Just two lovers by a moonlit sea,
While I watched I thought of you and I tingled,
For they kissed the way you did with me.
Then the shadows on the sand came much nearer,
And the moon was like a spotlight then,
There was one familiar face showing clearer,
It was you, I couldn't look again.
I felt so sad, there you were with someone new,
I felt so glad, when I found it wasn't true.
For the shadows on the sand seemed to break up,
And I looked around me with a start,
When the pounding of my heart made me wake up.
AUTHOR: Shapiro/Campbell/Connelly
I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad - all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you
I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals - I'd never mind
I could start my life anew
If I had you
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
I could Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a king (dear) uncrowned
Humble or poor - rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you
(- Baby If I had you)
Writers: Gaskill/McHugh
Your eyes are blue - your kisses too
I never knew - what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me
You are 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 (way up there) above me
I just can't (Could never) imagine - that you love me
(And) After all is said and done - to think that I'm the lucky (only) one
Cannot (I can't) believe that you're in love (can't believe that you're in
love.
I never feel a thing is real
When I'm away from you
Out of your embrace
The world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
A bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm
You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
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 a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
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
There's hidden persuasion within your eyes
Your charming indifference is but a disguise
I would be glad to love you if love is in the deal
But I must feel quite certain that the love is so real
Your hidden persuasion seems quite sincere
Perhaps my evasion is meaningless fear
Since every gain requires the element of chance
Here's hoping at least we'll find romance
Your hidden persuasion seems quite sincere
Perhaps my evasion is meaningless fear
Since every gain requires that element of chance
Here's hopin' at least we'll find romance
You're nobody till somebody loves you
You're nobody till somebody cares
You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold
But gold won't bring you happiness, when you're growing old
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody till somebody loves you
How little we know! How much to discover
What chemical forces flow from lover to lover!
How little we understand what touches off that tingle,
That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle.
Who cares to define what chemistry this is?
Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is?
So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters,
How little it matters, how little we know.
(Musical interlude)
How little we understand what touches off that tingle,
That sudden explosion when two tingles intermingle.
Who cares to define what chemistry this is?
Who cares, with your lips on mine, how ignorant bliss is?
So long as you kiss me, and the world around us shatters,
How little it matters, how little we know.
How little we know.
How little we know.
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone,
Oh, honey though our friendship ceases, from now on;
And, listen, if you can't say anything real nice,
It's better not to talk at all, is my advice.
We're parting, you go your way I'll go mine,
it's best that we do;
Here's a kiss! I hope that this brings lots of luck to you.
Makes no difference how I carry on,
You made me what I am today, I hope you're satisfied,
You dragged and dragged me down until the soul within me died.
You've shattered each and every dream, fooled me right from the start.
And though you're not true, may God bless you,
That's the curse of an aching heart.
(musical interlude)
You made me what I am today, I should hope you're satisfied,
You dragged, you dragged me down until the soul within me died.
You've shattered each and every dream, you fooled me right from the start.
And although you're not true, may God bless you,
That's the curse of an aching heart.
You made me what I am today
I hope you're satisfied.
You dragged me down and down until
the soul within me died.
You shattered each and every hope.
I loved you from the start.
And although, your'e not true, May God bless you,
Hold me in your arms dear - dream with me
Cradled by your kisses - tenderly
While a choir of angels - from above
Sing our melody of love
Heart to heart forever - lips entwined
I am yours - and you are mine
Heaven wrote the music - up above
You vowed your love
From here to eternity
A love so true,
It never would die
You gave your lips
Gave them so willingly
How could I know
Your kiss meant goodbye?
Now I'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...
Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
Will live from here to eternity.
Now I'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...
Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
will live...
A moment after dark around the park, an old-fashion gent comes parading,
Dressed in funny clothes but singing as he goes, The Lamplighter's Serenade.
The old boy loves to talk with couples on the walk, but when it's half after love time,
He reaches for his stick and from his bag of tricks, he lights every star in the sky.
And if a lady or a beau should answer No, he sprinkles their hearts with his magic,
Then he steals away to sing another day, The Lamplighter's Serenade.
Start spreadin' the news, i'm leavin' today. I want to be a part of it
New York, New York.
These vagabon shoes, are longing to stray, right through the very
heart of it, New York, New York.
I want to wake up in a city that doesn't sleep. And find i'm King of the
Hill, Top of the Heap.
These little-town blues, are melting away. I'll make a brand new start
of it in old New York. If I can make it there, i'll make it anywhere.
Its up to you New York, New York.
New York, New York. I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps.
And find i'm A-number-1, top of the list. King of the Hill, A-number-1.
These little town blues, are melting away. I'm gonna make a brand new
start of it, in old New York. And, if I can make it there, i'm gonna make
it anywhere.
It's up to you New York, New York. New York!

And there used to be a ballpark
Where the field was warm and green
And the people played their crazy game
With a joy I’d never seen.
And the air was such a wonder
From the hot dogs and the beer
Yes, there used a ballpark, right here.
And there used to be rock candy
And a great big fourth of july
With fireworks exploding
All across the summer sky
And the people watched in wonder
How they’d laugh and how they’d cheer
And there used to be a ballpark, right here.
Now the children try to find it
And they can’t believe their eyes
'cause the old team just isn’t playing
And the new team hardly tries
And the sky has got so cloudy
When it used to be so clear
And the summer went so quickly this year.
Yes, there used to be a ballpark, right here.
is it an earthquake? or simply a shock?
is it a good turtle soup? or merely a muck?
is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
or is what i feel, the real mccoy?
is it for all time? or simply a lark?
is it granata i see? or only raspberry pie?
is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?
or is it at long last love?

Over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Once when you walked beside me
That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew
When we two were in love
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
And every bright neon sign turned into stars
And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours
Each road that we took, it turned into gold
But the dream was too much for you to hold
Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew
Days when you used to love me
Till the end of time, long as stars are in the blue,
Long as there's a spring, a bird to sing, I'll go on loving you.
Till the end of time, long as roses bloom in May,
My love for you will grow deeper with every passing day.
Till the wells run dry, and each mountain disappears,
I'll be there for you to care for you through laughter and through tears.
So take my heart in sweet surrender, and tenderly say that I'm,
Three little words, oh what I'd give for that wonderful phrase,
To hear those three little words, that's all I'd live for the rest of my days.
And what I feel in my heart, they tell sincerely.
No other words can tell it half so clearly.
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, I'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals
In the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from Missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from hist'ry I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune
They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?
They all laughed at Rockefeller Center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar
Ford and his Lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "Hello, Goodbye."
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie
They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
Ha, ha, ha!
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
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
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,
A fairy tale I read when I was so high.
No armored knight out of a book
Was more enchanted by a Lorelei than I,
After waiting so long for the right time,
After reaching so long for a star,
All at once, from the long and lonely night time
And despite time, here you are.
I'd cry out of this world, if you said you were through.
So let me fly out of this world
And when she holds my hand, mmmm, mmmm
And I will understand, mmmm, mmmm.
One kiss afire with one desire,
a heavenly kiss could I resist?
And then I turn the light, mmmm, mmmm.
And then she hold me tight, mmmm, mmmm.
One kiss one fond caress will lead the way to happiness
The light-hearted gay kind of charm you display, that's for me.
The wonderful sly little trick with your eye, that's for me.
What a feather in my hat if I could gratify your wish;
Do you like the movies, or what is your favorite dish?
The tilt of your chin, when you chuckle or grin, that's for me.
You might as well know that wherever you go, there I'll be
Just to make sure you keep your heart alone and fancy free.
It's the dance you should know,
when the lights are down low,
Grab your baby,
then go,
do the hucklebuck,
do the hucklebuck,
If you don't know how to do it,
boy,
you're out of luck,
Push your partner out,
then you hunch your back,
Have a little movement in your sacroiliac,
Wiggle like a snake,
wobble like a duck,
Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart on fire to stay.
Once you're kissed by Amy, tear up your list it's Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours away.
You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover so carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold.
But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever sweetly you'll romance her, trouble is the answer will be
That Amy'd rather stay in love with me.
(instrumental), always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart on fire to stay.
(instrumental), get rid of your list it's Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours away.
You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover so carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold.
But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever sweetly you'll romance her, trouble is the answer will be
You will like the folks you meet - in our town
The folks you meet on any street - in our town
Pick out any cottage - white or brown
They're all so appealing - with that lived in feeling
You will like the shady lanes - in our town
The music of the passing trains - in our town
You will lose your heart - I promise you
In this - our two-by-four town
Welcome - on the door town

This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are sure to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new note is the consequence of the one we’ve just been through
As I’m bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
There’s so many people who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know and at the end I’ve come
To nothing I mean nothing
So I come back to my first note as I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note all the love I feel for you
Any one who wants the whole show show do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ci-do
He will find himself with no show better play the note you know
I always say, comme ci comme ca,*
And go my way, comme ci comme ca,
Since you are gone, nothing excites me.
Since you are gone, no one delights me.
And I go on, comme ci comme ca,
Midnight till dawn, comme ci comme ca,
But should we meet, that would excite me,
And should you smile, that would delight me,
I'd live again to love again,
But until then, comme ci comme ca.
It seems my friends have been complaining
They say that I've been acting rude.
But I have never liked explaining,
Which may explain my attitude.
comme ci comme ca,
comme ci comme ca,
Since you are gone, nothing excites me.
Since you are gone, no one delights me.
hmm, hmm,
tira, rirum.
But should we meet, that would excite me,
And should you smile, that would delight me,
I'd live again to love again,
But until then, comme ci comme ca.
Come out, come out, wherever you are (come out, come out)
I know, I know you're not very far
How I wish you'd hurry `cause I'm inclined to worry
These arms of mine are open, hopin' you'll appear
Where are ya, dear?
Come out, come out, wherever you are (wherever you are)
Come out, come out from under that star
Yes, and incident'lly, (do ya mean) ment'lly I'm not up to par
So come out, come out, come out wherever you are
Come on out, come out, wherever you are
I know, I know you're not very far
If I sound too eager, my love life has been meager
I'm just about to blow up, so show up, will ya, gal?
And be a pal
Come on out, come out, wherever you are (wherever you are, you are)
Take off (take off) take off from your Shangri-La
I have tried relaxin', Jackson, but it's the final bow
So come out, come out, come out wherever you are
(So come on out, babe)
Wherever you are (So come on out, babe)
Wherever you are (So come on out, babe)
The world is full of people, but none like you,
They're ordinary people, but none like you.
How far away is yesterday before you came along.
It seemed to be just a dream to me, until you proved here on.
The lanes are full of lovers, but none like you,
Just ordinary lovers, not dreams like you,
I shut my eyes to realize this grand surprise is true,
That I'm the lucky one who found you.
I shut my eyes to realize this grand surprise is true,
We walk on every city street
We walk in lanes where branches meet
And stars send down their blessings from the blue.
We go through storms of doubt and fear
And so we walk from year to year
Believing in each other as we do.
Bravely marching forward two by two...
Boys and girls like you and me
Walk beneath the skies
They love just as we love
With the same dream in their eyes.
Songs and kings and many things
Have their day and are gone
But boys and girls like you and me
We go on and on.
Songs and kings and many things
Have their day and are gone
But boys and girls like you and me
I'll soon become a wreck
They're breathin' on my neck
Dick Haymes, Dick Todd, and Como
They're really coming fast
Who knows I may be passed
By Dick Haymes, Dick Todd, and Como
The fact that girlies scream
They say will cause me grief
But if they ever stop
I'll find that I'm back on relief
It'll mean the end of me
Good news for Tommy D
And Dick Haymes, Dick Todd, and Como
Why should it get their goat
Each time I bend a note
Dick Haymes, Dick Todd, and Como
At my pictures, they throw rocks
They're both at Twentieth Fox
Not Dick Todd, but Dick Haymes, and Como
They say that I need weight
I'm just a mass of joints
I'd like to put on weight
But where the heck can I get points
If at RKO I pout, they look at me and shout,
"Dick Haymes, Dick Todd, and Como"
Everytime I sing,
I'm compared with Bing
by Dick Haymes, Dick Todd, and Como
Bing's four boys are sublime
But they won't give me time
Dick Haymes, Dick Todd, and Perry
(that's the other guy's first name)
I'll never sing like Bing
I know I don't compare
I'll grant them he's got voice
If they'll grant me, that I've got hair
But then why all this fuss
There's room for all of us
Dick Haymes, Dick Todd, and Como
There's just one Crosby
Dance, ballerina, dance
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart
Dance, ballerina, dance
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row
This is your moment, girl
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina, dance
Dance, dance!
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina, dance
Crazy rhythm, here's the doorway
I'll go my way, you'll go your way
Crazy rhythm, from now on, we're through
Here is where we have a showdown
I'm too high and you're too low down
Crazy rhythm, here's goodbye to you
They say that when a high brow meets a low brow
Walking along Broadway
Soon the high brow, he has no brow
Ain't it a shame and you're to blame
What's the use of our mission
You produce the same condition
Crazy rhythm, I've gone crazy too
They say that when a high brow meets a low brow
Walking along Broadway
Soon the high brow, he has no brow
Ain't it a shame and you're to blame
What's the use of prohibition
You produce the same condition
Crazy rhythm, I've gone crazy too
Crazy rhythm, I've gone crazy too
Could'ya, for an ice cream sundae? Could'ya, for a smile or two?
Would'ya, say along about next Monday, keep a guy from feeling blue?
Could'ya, for big red apple? Could'ya, for a tootsie roll?
Would'ya, for some Philadelphia truffle, brighten up some lonely soul?
I don't wanna have the stars in the pocket, or ride a rocket to the moon.
I just want what I want when I see what I want, and I hope I get it soon.
Could'ya, for a peaceful valley? Could'ya, for the Zuyder Zee?
Would'ya for a honeymoon in Bali? Could'ya fall in love with me?
Baby, could'ya, would'ya take a chance on romance,
Couldya, for a ripe tomato? Could'ya, for a place that's in?
Would'ya, for a bowl of sweet potato? Could'ya, for a leopard skin?
Could'ya, for a bright red tulip? Could'ya, for a ferris wheel?
Would'ya for Kentucky plate of juleps? Could'ya, for a home cooked meal?
I don't wanna have the stars in the pocket, or ride a rocket to the moon.
I just want what I want when I see what I want, hope I get it soon.
Could'ya, for a peaceful valley? Could'ya, for the Zuyder Zee?
It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said because
They thought we fit together walkin'
It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see
You walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
In some train yard
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waitin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
'Twas just a garden in the rain
Close to a little leafy lane
A touch of color - 'neath skies of gray
The raindrops kissed the flower beds
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you they seemed to say
Surely here I was charmed beyond compare - to view
Maybe it was just that I was there - with you
'Twas just a garden in the rain
But then the (that) sun came out again
Full moon and empty arms
The moon is there for us to share
But where are you?
A night like this could weave a memory
And every kiss could start a dream for two
Full moon and empty arms
Tonight I'll use the magic moon to wish upon
And next full moon if my one wish comes true
I got the horse right here, the name is Paul Revere.
And here's a guy that says that if all weather's clear,
Can do, can do, this guy says the horse can do.
If he says the horse can do, can do, can do.
I picked the Valentine, cause on the Morning Line,
The guy has got em figured at five to nine
But take the Epitaph, he went to buy a half,
He's got it cold in here in the Telegraph.
About Rivera's fight, I guess the sport's alright
Suppose it all depends if it rained last night.
I know it's Valentine, the morning works were fine
You know the jockey's brother is a friend of mine
But just a minute, boys, I got the feedback's choice,
It says the great grandfather was Aqua Poise.
I give you Paul Revere, and it's no bum steer
It's from a man right here that's real sincere
I picked my Valentine cause on the Morning Line
The guy has got em figured at five to nine
But take the Epitaph, he went to buy a half,
He's got it cold in here in the Telegraph.
You can have my hand
You can have my hair
You can hold my arm
They are yours to share
From above my nose
To below my toes
From the bottom to the top
You can have all of me
You can have my coat
You can have my hat
You can pet my dog
You can tease my cat
Everything I got
No it’s not a lot
From the bottom to the top
You can have all of me
I will try at one o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock, four
To keep you satisfied
I will try those anything, everything, anything more
To hold you by my side
You can make me laugh
You can make me cry
You can change my heart
If you’ll only try
By the stars above
You can have my love
From the bottom to the top
From the bottom to the top
From the bottom to the top
I sometimes wonder why people make promises they never intend to keep.
Not in big things, like love or elections, but in the things that count -
The newspaper boy who says he will save an extra paper, and doesn't.
The laundry that tells you your suit will be ready on Thursday and it isn't.
Love, well yes, but like everything else, we go from day to day,
We move from promise to promise.
I've had a good many promises now, so I can wait for the harvest.
I would gather stars out of the blue, for you, for you.
I would make a string of pearls out of the dew, for you, for you.
Over the highway and over the street,
Carpets of clover I'll lay at your feet.
There's nothing in this world I would not do for you, just for you.
Over the highway and over the street,
Carpets of clover I'm gonna lay at your feet.
Five hundred guys have one thousand eyes for my baby
They stand around and stare, no matter where she goes
Five hundred men have one great big yen for my baby
They'd like to buy her things, like diamond rings and clothes
I really had to overcome a lot of competition
And I'm not telling how I reached my number one position
But four ninety nine are wasting their time with my baby
And here's the reason why they have my sympathy
'Cause, baby, she got eyes for me
Five hundred guys have one thousand eyes for my baby
They stand around and stare, no matter where she goes
Five hundred men have one great big yen for my baby
They'd like to buy her things, like diamond rings and clothes
I really had to overcome a gang of competition
And I'm not telling how I reached my number one position
But four ninety nine and they are wasting their time with my baby
And here's the reason why they have my sympathy
'Cause baby has two eyes, great big bright two eyes
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To her heart I'll carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
I wouldn't trade Christmas, no no, never would I,
Wouldn't trade Christmas, I love you the best,
I wouldn't trade Christmas, no no, never would I,
Wouldn't trade Christmas, I love you the best.
It's time for the holly, the fun and the folly, and all of that jolly jazz,
The people are glowing, the Santas ho-ho-ing, each window is showing it has
All the latest in toy things, the daddy and boy things and all that
razz-a-ma-tazz,
But I wouldn't trade Christmas, wouldn't trade Christmas for New Year's Day,
Thanksgiving, Halloween and the rest. Christmas we love you the best.
I wouldn't trade, no, no. never would I, wouldn't trade Christmas, I love you
the best.
The traffic gets pokey, the turkey gets smoky, and all of that hokey stuff,
The people are shopping for things they'll be swapping like filigree boxes of
snuff,
Though you pour the hot toddy, to force everybody, though half of the toddy's
enough,
I wouldn't trade Christmas, wouldn't trade Christmas for Father's Day or
Mother's,
Valentine, and the rest, Christmas we love you the best.
The jingle bells jingle, you feel the old tingle, you buy the Kris Kringle
scene.
The idea is clever but subways will never quite handle that huge evergreen.
And the old office party, with Sammy and Marty, keep drinking until they turn
green.
But I wouldn't trade Christmas, wouldn't trade Christmas for Labor Day, or
Easter, Washington and the
Day in - day out
That same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever I think of you
And baby I think of you
Day in and day out
Day out - day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain - come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
How are ya fixed for moonlight ?
How are ya fixed for stars?
How are you fixed for kissin' ?
While we listen to soft guitars?
How are ya fixed for someone to watch the rain with?
To stroll down the lane with
For someone to just go a little insane with?
How are you fixed for mem'ries ?
Mem'ries that shine so bright?
If we let fancy take us
We could make us a few tonight
How are ya fixed for someone who'll fit your arms like a glove?
Hey, tell me, baby, how are you fixed for love?
(brief instrumental)
How are ya fixed for kissin' while we dig those wild guitars?
How are ya fixed for someone to sit and tan with ?
To worry and plan with ?
For someone to dine right from out of a can with?
How are ya fixed for mem'ries, mem'ries that glow so bright?
Ooh, if we let Cupid rock us, we could knock us a few tonight
How are ya fixed for someone who'll fit your arms like a glove?
Hey, tell me, baby how are you fixed for
Tell me baby, how are you fixed for
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singing a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Be careful, it's my heart,
It's not my watch you're holding, it's my heart.
It's not the note that I sent you that you quickly burned,
It's not a book I lent you that you never returned.
Remember, it's my heart.
The heart with which so willingly I part
It's yours to take, to keep or break,
But please, before you start,
I was resting comfortably, face down in the gutter
Life was serene, I knew where I was at
"There's no hope for him," my dearest friends would mutter
I was something dragged in by the cat. Then ...
Just in time
I found you just in time
Before you came my time
Was running low
I was lost
The losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed
Nowhere to go
Now you're here
And now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fear
'Cause I found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And saved my lonely life
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
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight
Let's take a boat to Bermuda
Let's take a plane to Saint Paul.
Let's take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack,
Let's get away from it all.
They say there's no place
quite like home
A charming thought it's true
But until the world we roam
how can we be sure
Let's take a trip in a trailer
No need to come back at all.
Let's take a powder to Boston for chowder,
Let's get away from it all.
We'll travel 'round from town to town,
We'll visit ev'ry state.
I'll repeat, "I love you sweet!"
In all the forty-eight.
Let's go again to Niag'ra
This time we'll look at the Fall.
Let's leave our hut, dear,
Get out of our rut, dear,
Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It 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
Imagination is silly
You go around willy nilly
For example I go around wanting you
I'll never smile again
Until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through
I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
I'll be seeing you;
In all the old, familiar places;
That this heart of mine embraces;
All day through.
In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut tree;
The wishing well.
I'll be seeing you;
In every lovely, summer's day;
And everything that's bright and gay;
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;
Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is up there on a moonbeam
Poor, there ain't nobody poor
As long as love is sure
The sky fell down when I met you,
The green of the countryside has turned to blue,
I had the moon right on my fingertips,
And when first we kissed, there were stars on your lips.
To be with you just made it seem
That walking on snowy clouds was not a dream,
You gave to me all this and heaven too,
Here we are two very bewilder'd people,
Here we are two babes that are lost in the wood.
We're not quite certain what has happen'd 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, we'll 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.
Our love affair will be such fun,
We'll be the envy of everyone.
Those famous lovers we'll make them forget
From Adam and Eve to Scarlett and Rhett.
When youth has had its merry fling
We'll spend our evenings remembering
Two happy people who say on the square,
Verse:
There are three new movies op'ning tonight,
A baseball game, a championship fight,
A big band concert under the stars,
And a rodeo, Midget racing cars,
For some gals and gents the above events
hold their own vicarious charms,
But I'd rather go to a place I know,
Where I can hold you in my arms!
Chorus:
Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me,
Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore.
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, so come dance with me,
Romance with me on a crowded floor.
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin',
For what is dancing but making love set to music, playin'.
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam,
As we wing home, cheek to cheek we'll be,
Get in touch with that sundown fellow
As he tiptoes across the sand
He's got a million kinds of stardust
Pick your fav'rite brand, and
Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
instrumental
Dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
Dream
So dream, dream, dream
Stars shinin' bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Bird singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "nightie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longin' to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just sayin' this...
Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Tear a star from out the sky
And the sky feels blue
Tear a petal from a rose
And the rose weeps too
Take your heart away from mine
And mine will surely break
My life is yours to make
So please keep the spark awake
Would you take the wings from birds
So that they can't fly
Would you take the ocean's roar
And leave just a sigh
All this your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows - downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close - downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown - waiting for you tonight
Downtown - you're gonna be all right now
(instrumental)
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - don't wait a minute for
Downtown - everything's waiting for you
Ah take a look and you'll see the way I have become and the way things became
Sadness and sorrow are here in the little things you touched with your hands
This loving home was a home so happy to protect you and keep you with care
The flowers in the window were smiling were glowing just knowing you were there
Listen my love nevermore Don't ever go away
Cause we are you are your life and your dream and we want you to stay
Come in my love come to me don't let this heartless world
bring another good bye
Embrace me in a simple way
Don't like good-byes, tears or sighs
I'm not too good at leaving time
I've got no taste for grieving time
No, no, not me
You've been my near ones, always my dear ones
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a different kind
But it came to be
Well if you think I'm telling you lies
Go try your luck and look into her eyes
But remember, you must remember she's mine
And my world overhead has a clear new shine
Don't want to leave you
Sorry to grieve you
It's traveling time, and I must move on
Found the girl (gal) to lean upon
And if I could arrange it
When I try to sing you say I'm off key
Why can't you see how much this hurts me
With your perfect talent and your perfect pitch
You're a perfect terror
When I come around, must you always put me down
If you say my singing is off key my love
You will hurt my feelings don't you see my love
I wish I had an ear like yours
A voice that would behave
But all I have is feeling and a voice god gave
You insist my music goes against the rules
Yes but rules were never made for lovesick fools
I wrote this little song for you but you don't care
It's a crooked song oh but all my heart is there
The thing that you would see if you would play your part
Even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart
I took your picture with my trusty Rollaflex
And now all I have developed is a complex
Possibly in vain I hope you weaken oh my love
And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream of
A life of love and music with someone who'll understand
That even though I may be out of tune
When I attempt to say how much I love you
All that matters is the message that I bring
The French are glad to die for love
they delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives and gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girls best friend
A kiss may be grand but it wont pay the rental on your humble flat
or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old and we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut or pear shaped these rocks dont lose their shape
Diamonds are a girls best friend
TIFFANYS! CARTIER! Black Star, Rossgorm,
Talk to me Harry Winston - tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass need her lawyer
But diamonds are a girls best friend
There may come a time when a hard boiled employer thinks
you're awful nice but get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
Its then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girls best friend
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girls best friend
And I think affairs that you must keep blousonic are better bets
if little fets get big baguettes
Time rolls on and youth is gone and you cant straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees you stand straight at Tiffanys
Diamonds...diamonds... I dont need rhinestones
But diamonds are a girls best...best friend
So I'm down and so I'm out
But so are many others
So I feel like tryin' to hide
My head 'neath these covers
Life is like the seasons
After winter comes the spring
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings
I've been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin'
And even when my chips are low
There's still some left for givin'
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you
So I think I'll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true
There isn't much that I have learned
Through all my foolish years
Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles
First there's laughter, then those tears
But I'll keep my head up high
Although I'm kinda tired
My gal just up and left last week
Friday I got fired
You know it's almost funny
But things can't get worse than now
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing
Dear heart, wish you were here to warm this night
My dear heart, it seems like a year since you've been out of my sight
A single room, a table for one
It's a lonesome town all right
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart, I want you to know
I'll leave your arms never more
(A single room, a table for one)
(It's a lonesome town all right)
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart, I want you to know
I feel the autumn breeze
It steals 'cross my pillow
As soft as a will-o'-the-wisp
And in its song there is sadness because
There's no you
The lonely autumn trees
How softly they're sighing
For summer is dying they know
That in my heart there's no gladness because
There's no you
The park that we walked in
The garden we talked in
How lonesome they seem in the fall
The stormy clouds hover and falling leaves cover
Our favorite nook in the wall
In spring we'll meet again
We'll kiss and recapture
The summertime rapture
We knew
And from that day never more will I say
There's no you
The stormy clouds hover and falling leaves cover
Our favorite nook in the wall
In spring we'll meet again
We'll kiss and recapture
The summertime rapture
We knew
And from that day never more will I say
Love walked right in, and drove the shadows away
Love walked right in, and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment, and my heart seemed to know - that love said hello
Though not a word was spoken
One look, and I'd forgot the gloom of the past
One look, and I had found my future at last
One look, and I had found a world completely new
When love walked in with you
We'll gather lilacs in the spring again,
And walk together down an endless lane,
Until our hearts have learned to sing again,
When you come home once more.
And in the evening by the firelight glow,
You'll hold me close and never let me go,
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know,
When you come home once more.
[musical interlude]
And in the evening by the firelight glow,
You'll hold me close and never let me go,
Your eyes will tell me all I want to know,
No tears, no fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again
Your kiss, your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad
Someday, someway
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not good-bye
When is sometime?
How many days until sometime?
For my dreams make it clear that my lover is near
And she ought to be here about sometime
Who is someone?
Who is this wonderful someone?
Oh, I'm keeping my heart strings in tune
And hoping that sometime is soon
Who is someone?
Who is this wonderful someone?
Oh, I'm keeping my heart strings in tune
We're just a kiss apart, and yet we dance on and on,
We're just a kiss apart, and soon our chance will be gone.
Now you're beside my heart, your eyes have started to shine,
Oh but I know too well, daybreak may break the spell.
So while we're just a kiss apart, kiss me and tell me you're mine.
We're just a kiss apart, and soon our chance will be gone.
Now you're beside my heart, your eyes have started to shine,
Oh but I know too well, daybreak may break the spell,
So while we're just a kiss apart, kiss me and tell me
While the Angelus was ringing, calling for the evening pray'r,
I could hear the choir singing and I saw you standing there.
Silently I stood beside you, how my heart was beating then,
For my dreams have all come true, I was safely back with you,
Never more to roam again.
Then the great cathedral spire seemed to come alive and say
Through the voices of the choir, there will be a wedding day.
Then a golden ray of sunlight, from a window in the sky,
Shone upon us from above, heaven's blessing on our love,
Now our love will never die.
Then a golden ray of sunlight, from a window in the sky,
Shone upon us from above, heaven's blessing on our love,
When they begin the beguine,
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back a memory ever green.
I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore, an orchestra's playing;
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine.
(Bridge)
To live it again is past all endeavor
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are, swearing to love forever,
And promising never, never to part.
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
'Til clouds came along to disperse the joy we had tasted;
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
I know but too well what they mean.
So don't let them begin the beguine,
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember;
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember
When they begin the beguine.
Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play,
'Til the stars that were there before return above you,
'Til you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you."
And we suddenly know . . .what heaven we're in
When they begin the beguine,
(Why remind me) the way we used to talk and laugh,
I don't need any photograph to think of you [think of you],
(Why remind me) the way we danced the whole night long,
I don't need records of our song to sing it through.
I don't need books of matches to remember our caf.
What earthly good are matches to a flame of yesterday?
(Why remind me) I know our love has played its part,
I'm only asking of my heart to stop reminding me of you.
(I don't need any matches to remember our caf.)
(What earthly good are matches) to a flame of yesterday.
(Why remind me I know our love has played its part,)
(I'm only asking of my heart) to stop reminding me of you,
[music intro]
How can you say something new about being alone,
Tell somebody you're a loner?
Right away they think you're lonely,
It's not the same thing, you know.
It's not wanting to put all your marbles in one pocket.
And that's caring enough not to care too much.
Mostly, I guess it's letting yourself come first for a while.
[music interlude]
One day, I'm gonna find me an island, a think place,
Go there with a mess of records and a ukalele,
Just sit strumming, I might even do some thinking,
About the women and the towns that I left behind.
There's something old and something new,
And something borrowed, something blue,
Packed in her suitcase.
I never thought that she would be
A blushing bride but, golly gee,
Just look in her suitcase.
When I asked her if she'd hurry up and answer,
She didn't tell me, she let me guess,
So here we go to Buffalo or maybe Maine or Kokomo,
Here comes the bride, she said yes.
When I asked her if she'd hurry up and please answer,
She didn't tell me, she let me guess,
So here we go to Buffalo or maybe Maine or Kokomo,
Here comes the bride, she didn't say maybe,
Somewhere, my love, there will be songs to sing
Although the snow covers the hopes of Spring
Somewhere a hill blossoms in green and gold
And there are dreams, all that your heart can hold
Someday we'll meet again, my love
Someday whenever the Spring breaks through
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
Godspeed, my love, till you are mine again
[jazz instrumental-first four lines]
Someday we'll meet again, my love
I said "someday whenever that Spring breaks through"
You'll come to me out of the long-ago
Warm as the wind, and as soft as the kiss of snow
Till then, my sweet, think of me now and then
You're my song from a world way up high
You are my starlight sonata out of the midnight sky
There's no melody sung by a lark
Sweet as my starlight sonata after the sky grows dark
Your arms are such a thrilling place
When we embrace like this
The promise of eternal love
Is trembling in your kiss
Twilight sings of a heaven-to-be
Bringing my starlight sonata straight from your heart to me
Your arms are such a thrilling place
Where we embrace like this
The promise of eternal love
Is trembling in your kiss
Twilight sings of a heaven-to-be
I see stars in your eyes when my lips beg your lips to surrender,
Stars in your eyes when we kissed and you whispered you're mine.
Stars leave the sky but the night is so bright in their splendor.
Deep in your eyes, lovely stars still continue to shine.
No matter what dawn may bring, no matter what you may say,
There's always one little thing that always gives you away.
Stars in your eyes make me thrill with a thrill, oh so tender,
Some people dress 'cause they dress when they dress,
But he gets dressed to get dressed.
(It's only a hunch but I bet you a bunch)
(He wears suspenders, a belt and a vest,)
[From the tip of his toes to his head,]
[He looks like an unmade bed.]
You've either got or you haven't got style.
(If you got it, you stand out a mile.)
A flower's not a flower if it's wilted,
(A hat's not a hat till it's tilted.)
[You either got or you haven't got class.]
[How it draws the applause of the masses.]
(You either got, or you haven't got,)
[Got or you haven't got,] ,
You've either got or you haven't got style, (got or you haven't got style).
[If you got it, it stands out a mile,] (if you got it, it stands out a mile.).
With mother of pearl kind of buttons,
(You look like the Astors and Huttons.)
[You either got or you haven't got class,] (got or you haven't got class.)
How it draws the applause of the masses.
(You've either got, or you haven't style) [got or you haven't got style}
(Style and charm seem to go arm in arm,) [seem togo arm in arm.].
[A flower's not a flower] (if it's wilted,)
[A hat's not a hat till it's tilted.]
(You've either got or you haven't got style,) [got or you haven't got style,]
[If you got it, you stands out a mile,] if you got it, you stand out a mile
(Got it you stand out,) got it you stand out a mile.
You've either got or you haven't got, (got or you haven't got,)
And on that dawn just when the day was breaking,
I saw your face everywhere.
And on that morning, love was in the making,
I heard your voice, I hear music, I've no care.
Sunrise in the morning, stay awhile, you know that I'll
Be thinking of you now and everyday.
Make it worth my while, I'll see that you will always smile.
And never stray, you stay baby, I'll pray.
On that sweet night I looked at moonbeams clearly,
Moonbeams dancing in your eyes.
And it was right I know I loved you dearly,
I saw your face, I hear music, I've no care.
Sunset in the evening, stay awhile, you know that I'll
Be thinking of you now and everyday.
Make it worth my while, I'll see that you will always smile.
And never stray, you stay, baby, I'll pray.
Stay awhile, you know that I'll
Be thinking of you now and everyday.
Make it worth my while, I'll see that you will always smile.
And never stray, you stay, baby, I'll pray.
Please stay, baby, I'll pray. Oh, you stay, baby, I'll pray.
Was the last time I saw you, the last time?
Or can I hope to hold you once more?
What about me, could have made you doubt me?
Want to live without me?
Loving me no more?
From the first time I saw you, I loved you
And to me, darling, you were romance
Was the last time I saw you, the last time?
Or will you give love one more chance?
(musical interlude)
From the first time I saw you, I loved you
And to me, darling, you were romance
Was the last time I saw you, the last time?
Under a blanket of blue
Just you and i beneath the stars.
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours.
Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, i know my heart will dance
Within your arms.
A summer night's magic, enthralling me so.
The night would be tragic, if you weren't here to shareit my dear,
Covered with heaven above.
Let's dream a dream of love for two,
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance,
Never comb your hair, Sun-ny!
Leave the breez-es there, Sun-ny!
Let your stock-ing fall down,
For shock-ing the town is all that you do.
Smil-ing all the while, Tom-boy
Where'd you get your smile from boy?
Lit-tle sun-ny girl,
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you’d turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for the very taking
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
(That) My sometime is now
Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
(That) My someplace is here
If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I've found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just
For children in school
I fell in love with love one night
When the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see
Falling in love with love
With love ever after
But love fell out with me
I fell in love with love one night
When the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see
I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
Poor you, I'm sorry you're not me, for you will never know what loving you can be.
Poor you, you'll never know your charms,
You'll never feel your warmth, you're never in your arms.
When it is you I'm kissing, I pity you constantly,
You don't know what you're missing, `cause you're only kissing poor me.
Poor you, you live your whole life through,
I'm so afraid of night 'cause I'm too romantic.
Moonlight and stars can make such a fool of me.
You know you're much too near, and I am too romantic,
Wouldn't I be a sight on a bended knee.
I'm startled when you whisper, I'll run if you should sigh,
I must be so careful, or I'll kiss my heart goodbye.
You shouldn't let me dream 'cause I'm too romantic,
Whispering while you cuddle near me,
Whispering so no one can hear me,
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true, there's no one, dear, but you.
Whispering why you'll never leave me,
Whispering why you'll never grieve me,
Whisper and say that you'll believe me
Are you wearing old dreams, breaking out at the seams.
These should be new.
And have I got a bargain, you lucky people you.
Here's the hollyhock scent makes the lady you send feel well-to-do
And the price fits your pocket, you lucky people you.
Then here the green velvet landscape and to prove I'm no rogue,
I'll add a smart looking rainbow like you see pictured in Vogue.
I've a wonderful buy in a wrap-around sky of moonlight blue,
It's a lovely day tomorrow, tomorrow is a lovely day,
Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
On tomorrow's clear blue skies,
If today your heart is weary, if every little thing looks gray,
Just forget your troubles and learn to say
It started all over again
The moment I looked in your eyes
It started all over again
The thrill we can never disguise
The day that we parted, so broken hearted
Will never return again
Dreams I've delayed, promises made
Are starting anew, just for you
It started all over again
The moment I held you so tight
It started all over again
When we kissed away the night - till dawn's early light
Now were together, sweethearts forever
We'll build our romance anew
It started all over again
You might have belonged to another,
We might never have met,
You might have chosen another,
For you are a much better bet.
You could have married a captain of a luxury ship at sea,
There was a wizard at polo was a socialized bee,
Remember the movie director who made five thousand a week,
And there was a diamond collector who had the same technique,
You knew a prince, a duke and a lord,
You had your choice of the three,
You might have belonged to another,
Looking for yesterday, most any day I spent with you,
One yesterday when I still had a laugh or two,
One dance to our favorite tune then to our favorite lane,
Who cares if there is no moon or we're drenched with rain.
Looking for yesterday, before you wrapped the sun in clouds,
One yesterday before I hid away in crowds,
My heart lives in misery, always a stone in its shoe,
Once in awhile, 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, just one spark may remain,
If love still can remember, that spark may burn again.
I know that I'd be contented with yesterday's memory,
In the hush of evening
As shadows steal across my lonely room
I think of you
I think of you
From afar the music
Of violins comes softly through the gloom
All I can do
Is think of you
O I can see you standing there before me
And I can hear you whisper
You adore me
So when dusk is falling
I live again the loveliness we knew
I think of you
Oh, how am I to know if it's really love that found its grave here,
Oh, how am I to know, will it linger on, and leave me there.
I dare not guess at this strange happiness
I remember when the sunlight had a special kind of brightness
And laughter held a lover's kind of lightness, Yellow days, yellow days.
She would hold me and the smile would spread around us so completely
And the softness of a kiss would linger sweetly, Yellow days, yellow days.
But then came thunder and I heard her say "goodbye"
Through tears of wonder, Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
Yellow days, where'd you go?
Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
And the laughter's just an echo I'll remember Yellow days, yellow days.
Now I'm alone and my heart wants to know
Yellow days, where'd you go?
Life is empty and the sunlight seems so harsh instead of tender
I'll see you in my dreams, hold you in my dreams,
Someone took you out of my heart and I feel the touch of your hand,
Lips that once were mine, tender eyes that shine,
Why is my heart dancing? Imagine dancing!
You look at me, and suddenly it's spring.
Why do I keep sighing? not sad, just sighing,
I'm young and free, and suddenly it's spring.
High on a hilltop, love is calling,
Someone should wish me happy falling.
No more being lonely, can I be lonely?
You look at me and suddenly it's spring.
(musical interlude)
High on a hilltop, love is calling,
Someone should wish me happy falling.
No more being lonely, can I be lonely?
You look at me, I look at you
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.
(Instrumental)
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;
Where are you
Where have you gone without me
I thought you cared about me
Where are you
Where's my heart
Where is the dream we started
I can't believe we're parted
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is my happy ending
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is that happy ending
Where are you
Where are you
Who stole my heart away,
Who makes me dream all day
Dreams I know will never come true,
Seems as though I'll ever be blue.
Who means my happiness
Who would I answer yes to,
Well you oughta guess
You don't laugh anymore, when we're alone
You don't talk quite as long, when we're on the phone
You say that you, still love me so
But I can read between the lines
You don't hear half the things, that I say to you
You don't hold me as close, as you used to do
You say that you, won't let me go
But I can read between the lines
Your love for me is over
It isn't hard to tell
In every single thing you do
You say it all too well
And the glow in your eyes, is there no more
When you speak of the plans, that you have in store
It's time my dear, that I let you know
I think of you with every breath I take,
And every breath becomes a sigh.
Not a sigh of despair
But a sigh that I care for you.
I hear your name with every breath I take,
On every breeze that wanders by.
And your name is a song
I'll remember the long years through.
Even though I walk alone you guide me,
In the darkness you light my way.
And all the while inside me,
Love seems to say, "some day, some day".
And when I sleep you keep my heart awake,
But when I wake from dreams divine,
Every breath that I take, is a prayer that I'll make you mine.
"Some day, some day,"
And when I sleep you keep my heart awake,
And when I wake from dreams divine,
AUTHOR: Music: Michel Legrand; Lyrics: Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
When somebody loves you, do you feel it in your heart?
When somebody loves you, do you know it from the start?
Every kiss becomes more than a kiss, is that all right?
Each look, each touch they mean so much
And that's when you discover how it feels to be a lover, loving beyond love?
When somebody loves you, it shows in every smile :>)
When somebody loves you, your life becomes worthwhile
Always caring, always sharing everything you do
When somebody loves you like I love you
(When somebody loves you, it shows in every smile)
(When somebody loves you, your life becomes worthwhile)
Always caring, always sharing everything you do
Where is the one
Who'll end the search I'm making
Where is the one
Who'll change my dream to waking
Behind some far off secret door
There's my love
There's my life
In store
The journey's long
Much longer than I reckoned
In any throng
I'll know her in a second
Some lucky day
I'm bound to find her
And when I do
I'll find love
The journey's long
Much longer than I reckoned
In any throng
I'll know her in a second
Some lucky day
I'm bound to find her
And when I do
Where do you go
When it starts to rain
Where will you sleep
When the night time comes
What do you do
When your heart's in pain
Where will you run
When the right time comes
These are the things
That I want to know
Where will you hide
When the lights are low
Where do you go
When it starts to rain
Where will you sleep

Your eyes are blue - your kisses too
I never knew - what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me
You are 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 (way up there) above me
I just can't (Could never) imagine - that you love me
(And) After all is said and done - to think that I'm the lucky (only) one
Cannot (I can't) believe that you're in love (can't believe that you're in
love.
..) with me
I fall in love with you ev'ry day
The thrill is always new, ev'ry day
The sun may shine, the rain may fall
And icy winds may blow
You smile at me and all I see
Are blossoms in the snow
I thank my lucky star ev'ry day
That you are as you are, ev'ry day
The years may come
The years may go
If we're still here I'll say

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low-down
I gotta right to hang around
Down around the river
A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin’ my poor (old) heart around
All I see, for me is - misery
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sit and cry
Down around the river
I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin’ me
It must be love - say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
You should have told me when it all began
You should have told me long ago
Someday I know you're gonna find
Just one mistake is not enough
To change my mind
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
And if the doubting faces made you go
It's only mine that matters now
Those looks will soon begin to fade
If you come back and show them all
You're not afraid
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
And we can still begin again
Now that you know how much I understand
You have no reason to be gone
And if you feel at all like me
Just let me know
I'll make it like it used to be
What's now is now
And I'll forget what happened then
I know it all
I can't give you anything but love, baby,
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby.
Dream awhile, scheme awhile, we're here to find
Happiness and I guess, all those things you've always pined for.
Gee, I'd like to see you looking swell, baby,
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby.
Till that lucky day you know darn well, baby,
I could have told you
She'd hurt you
She'd love you a while
Then desert you
If only you asked
I could have told you so
I could have saved you
Some crying
Yes I could have told you she's lying
But you were in love
And didn't want to know
I hear her now
As I toss and turn and try to sleep
I hear her now
Making promises she'll never keep
And soon it's over
And done with
She'll find someone new to have fun with
Through all of my tears
I could have told you so
I hear her now
As I toss and turn and try to sleep
I hear her now
Making promises
She'll never keep
And soon it's over
And done with
She'll find someone new to have fun with
Through all of my tears
Balmy breezes are blowing - each star in the sky is glowing
But I couldn't care less
Lovely night birds are winging - and filling the night with singing
But I couldn't care less
Oh how perfect the setting - but how do I start forgetting
I'm alone where we walked before
For without the warmth of your caress
It's a cold and dreary world - I guess
And I couldn't care less - unless
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love be coming back to me?
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by a starless sky above
Here am I patiently waiting, hoping and longing
Oh, how I yearn!
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
Do you remember?
Will you return?
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
[Alto solo by Beverly Jenkins] (chorus)
[Gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told,]
[I'm gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told.]
[I'm gonna say please, missus gypsy, tell me what the future will hold.]
(Hurry your deck of cards and your crystal ball)
(For there you will see that you will pray for light)
(The future will almost certainly be whatever you want it to be,)
(But with rockets and picks, from music and jetsam)
(There's no butt that you can push, and push,)
(Let your imagination burst into flame)
(And it will let you do whatever you damn well to do, do,do).
Given a choice I would choose to have a magic wand that I could use,
To draw a melody, from that enchanted blade of grass
And cheese and wood and wind and sea.
I would stand there, dig a grave, and quietly say,
Ladies and Gentlemen, play for me, play for me.
Writer(s): based on tchaikovsky’s violin concerto in d major
The glow of sunset in the summer skies,
The golden flicker of the fireflies,
The gleam of love light in your lovely eyes,
These are the things I love.
A silver moonbeam peeping through the trees,
A bed of tulips nodding in the breeze,
The look you give in answer to my pleas,
These are the things I love.
Oh, once I thought that life was just a winter thing,
My heart was cold, and then
You came to me and like a breath of spring,
You turned the silver snow to gold!
A robin’s serenade when day is through,
A bubbling brook beside our rendezvous,
Your sweet voice whisp’ring "darling, I love you",
These are the things I love.
Time and again I've longed for adventure
Something to make my heart beat much faster
What did I long for, I never really knew.
Finding your love, I found my adventure,
Touching your hand my heart beat much faster
All that I want in all of this world is you.
You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song.
You are the angel glow that lights the star,
The dearest things I know are what you are.
Someday my happy arms will hold you,
And someday I'll know that moment divine
MAYBE I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near
Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here
It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
There are those who can leave love or take it
Love to them is just what they make it
I wish that I were the same
But love is my fav'rite game
I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been FOOLED in the past
And still I fall in love too easily
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't why, but I do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why, but you do
You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do
You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
Come to me, my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe
You know, honey, I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Just wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
I know I should pity me
But I don't because, you see
I have loved and I have learned
And as far as I'm concerned
I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough I sleep well
'Cept for a dream or two
But, then, I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can tell you to sleep, so
I should care
I should let it upset me
I should care
But it just doesn't get me
Maybe I should find
Someone as lovely as you
But I should care
In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, and a kiss
When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be if he'll just realize
She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness
She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them, try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care
But a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
Don't you know I'd work for you, I'd slave for you
Be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Gladly move the earth for you
Prove my love dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words dear at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you baby - come what may
My heart is yours - what more can I say
I would cry for you, even sigh for you
Tear those stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love it'll have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Walk on burning coals for you
I would drive the Chrysler,leave the Rolls for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I would try to hit high "C" for you
I'd even punch out Mr. T for you
If that ain't love it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
There's not a thing that you can't ask of me
Go on, demand any task of me
If you want the moon or a lavaliere
All you got to do is nibble on my ear
I would rob, steal, beg, borrow, and lie for you
Lay my little body down and die for you
(If that ain't love - if that isn't love)
If that ain't love it will have to do
We've always thought we were only fooling,
But look at us now at least a little in love.
We've always said that our heads were ruling,
And I don't know how but here we are.
This I'll admit is a fine how-do-you-do,
But this might be I-discover-I'm-for-you.
And just as sure as it's more than fooling.
After you've gone - and left me crying
After you've gone - there's no denying
You'll feel blue - you're gonna be sad
You've missed the dearest pal that (slickest partner) you ever had
There'll come a time - don't you forget it
(Yeah) There'll come a time - when you're gonna regret it
Some day when you get lonely
Your heart will break like mine - (and) you'll want me only
After you've gone (split) - after you've gone away (flown the coop)
After we paid - our dues together
You should have stayed - through all that nasty weather
Someday while you're feeling badly
You'll need the only one that loves you so madly
But I'll be gone - yes I'll be gone - to stay
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Deep night, stars in the sky above
Moonlight, lighting our place of love
Night winds seem to have gone to rest
Two eyes, brightly with love are gleaming
Come to my arms, my darling, my sweetheart, my own
Vow that you'll love me always, be mine alone
Deep night, whispering trees above
Kind night, bringing you nearer, dearer and dearer
Deep night, deep in the arms of love
Come to my arms, my darling, my sweetheart, my own
Vow that you'll love me always, and be mine alone
Deep night, whispering trees above
Kind night, bringing you nearer, dearer and dearer
How come you do me like you do do do?
How come you do me like you do?
Why do you try to make me feel so blue?
I've done nothing to you.
Do me right or else just let me be.
'Cause I can beat you doing what you're doing to me.
How come you do me like you do do do?
How much do I love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>From here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
>From here to a star?
And if I ever lost you, how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
She left twenty-nine broken hearts
Broken in twenty-nine parts
Now there are twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms
About the lady from 29 Palms
She got twenty-nine Cadillacs
Twenty-nine sables from Sach's
They came from twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms
Around the lady from 29 Palms
She's a yip-yip-yippy-eyed dolly
A new kinda gal of the west
And yip-yip-yippy by-golly
Whatever she does, she does her best
She rides twenty-nine trails to bliss
Knows twenty-nine ways how to kiss
She is a gal that you dream of, you'd love to have your arms
Around the lady from 29 Palms
She left twenty-nine broken hearts, baby
Broken in twenty-nine parts were their broken hearts, mmm oy-da doy-da
Twenty-nine fellas complainin' to their moms
About the lady from 29 Palms
She got twenty-nine Cadillacs, baby
Twenty-nine sables from Sach's and them Cadillacs, mmm boy-da doy-da
Twenty-nine fellas who never had their arms
Around the lady from 29 Palms
(instrumental break)
She's a yippety-yippety-yippety-eye-oh, what a dolly
A bronco that no one can break
And yippety-yippety-yippety-eye-oh, by-golly
She's never giving, but how she takes
She's got twenty-nine diamond rings
Got, got, got 'em without any strings (Wow!)
A dynamite dream-boat, a load of atom bombs (Who?)
The lady from 29 palms
Have you met Dolores? She's queen of the forest
Have you met Olivia? Her I'd gladly give ya
Have you met the queen, the rulah, Tallulah
For that gal Tallulah I would fight a duela,
I would climb a hillah, I'll paddle to Priscilla,
But this is getting sillah, I'm getting lots of thrillah, Tallulah
When she starts to lock on to a man to love she wants to fricassee
No one doing the hula, can do what Tallulah can do to me.
I have met Fatima (Fatima is a schemma)
I have met Marquita (Marquita is a cheeta)
I have met Jemima, she's a social climba
I have met Ophelia, she will double deal ya,
You are the summer and I am the autumn
Don't wait too long
Your song's beginning
While mine's nearly sung
Don't wait too long
Fall is a lovely time of the year
When leaves turn to gold and brown
But soon fall is ending
Winter is near and the leaves
Start tumblin' down
Why must the moments go by in such haste
Don't wait too long
Winter is coming I've no time to waste
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,
There's something missing in the way you say hello,
Baby, your words don't have that feeling any more,
Every time you hold me in your arms,
it seems we're miles apart.
Am I the one you're holding in your heart?
There's something missing in the way your lips touch mine.
Baby, I miss the flame that came with every kiss.
Is it only my imagination at play
That tells me that there is someone new,
Or must I really go on missing you?
Is it only my imagination at play
That tells me that there is someone new,
Do I worry `cause you're stepping out,
do I worry `cause you've got me in doubt
Though your kisses aren't right,
do I give a bag of beans,
Do I stay home every night,
and read my magazines,
Am I frantic `cause we've lost the spark,
is there panic when it starts turning dark,
And when evening shadows creep,
do I lose any sleep over you.

Hey, I got the song of the robin, and I got a roof in the sky,
Wonder why my heart keeps a'throbbing, a'throbbing
A son of God's country, am I.
And I got the flame and the mountain,
And the treasure's mine, if I try,
One by one my blessings I'm counting,
And counting, the son of God's country am I.
I got the sun up in the sky, the streams when I'm dry.
The fruits on the boughs of the trees,
The clouds bringing me rain, the fields giving me grain.
Thanks to the Maker for these.
And I got a loved one who loves me,
Kids to make my cares hurry by,
I may not be in heaven, but I can't be far away,
A son of God's country am I.
(And I got a loved one who loves me,)
My baby loves me!
(Kids to make my cares hurry by,)
Hurry by, hurry by, hurry by,
Hey, I may not be in heaven, but I can't be far away,
A son of God's country am I,.
You and the night and the music fill me with flaming desire,
Setting my being completely on fire!
You and the night and the music thrill me but will we be one
After the night and the music are done?
Until the pale light of dawning and daylight,
our hearts will be throbbing guitars,
Morning may come without warning,
and take away the stars.
If we must live for the moment,
love till the moment is through!
After the night and the music die,
Don't make me beg for your kisses,
Beg for your tender embrace,
I want your love, not your sympathy,
Please don't make a beggar of me.
Since I looked in your direction,
Your tenderness is all I seem to crave.
But when I look for your affection,
You smile, my dear, and tell me to behave.
Don't make me beg for your kisses,
Beg for your tender embrace,
I want your love, not your sympathy,
Please don't make a beggar of me.
While I sigh and keep confessing,
The love I have for you will never die,
Somehow you always keep me guessing,
And wond'ring just how long I'll have to cry.
Don't make me beg for your kisses,
Beg for your tender embrace.
I want your love, not your sympathy,
You'd be so easy to love
Easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep the home fire burning for
We'd be so grand at the game
So carefree together, that it does seem a shame
That you can't see your future with me
When you walk through a storm,
hold your head up high,
and don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm,
is the golden sky,
and the sweet silver song of the lark.
Walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown,
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone,
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
"Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. We'd, we'd like to dispense with the-uh, it so
happens that we
just happen to have a couple of arrangements along with us. And, uh,
Remember, your elders
are sitting all around you. We would like to, uh, do, as one of our encores, a very
lovely song. This,
if we may digress for a minute, is not from a motion picture-it is from a show called "Carousel", it's
a very lovely
tune called "If I Loved You."
If I loved you, time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way
`round in circles I'd go
Longin' to tell you but, afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you, if I loved you
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
When the wind was green
At the start of the spring
When the wind was green
Like a living thing
It was on my lips
And it's kiss was fair
You were there
When the wind was red
Like a summer wine
When the wind was red
Like your lips on mine
It caressed my face
And it tossed my hair
You were there
Then came the fall and all of love
Came tumbling, stumbling down
Like leaves that lost to frost and found
They were flying-crying
In a brown wind dying
But the winter's come and we both should know
That the wind is white like the swirling snow
And we'll never see all the wonderful things to be seen
As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasure
And so I happily concede
This is all I ask
This is all I need
Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunset, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Grownups seldom understand
Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true
Before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Oh, it's a long, long time from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you

I've seen that face before
That face that I see in the mirror
I know that face
I've seen that face before
I knew that dopey guy
When he didn't know how to tie his tie
He stood right there and he had hair galore
The man in the looking glass
Who can he be
The man in the looking glass
Can he possibly be me
Where's our young romeo
The lad who used to sigh
Who's the middle age lothario
With the twinkle in his eye
He seem so much wiser now
Less lonely but then
Could be he's only pretending again
Man in the looking glass smiling away
How's your sacroiliac today
Where's your first love affair
That trajedy d'amour
The true love you thought would be
The end of you for sure
The man in the looking glass
Have no regrets
The man who's wise never forgets
That life is worth living if once in a while
You can look in that looking glass and smile
When you're all alone
All the children grown
And, like starlings, flown away
It gets lonely early, doesn't it?
Lonely early, doesn't it?
Ev'ry single endless day
When your twilight nears
And one face appears
Turning winter years to May
It gets lonely early, doesn't it?
Lonely early, doesn't it?
Still the old heart's young enough to say
"It was really more than lovely, wasn't it?
"Truly lovely, wasn't it?"
That year in Oakland High
When I was seventeen
The grass from there to San Jose
Was high and cool and green
I see it now
Too brash and young was I
To know what time could mean
The old Acacia lawn cut down
Was felt but never seen
I see it now
That world I knew is lost to me
Loves have come and gone
The years go racing by
I live as best I can
And all at once I know it means the making of a man
I see it now
I see it now
How old am I?, I'm old enough to know
The difference between infatuation
And a love that has a chance to grow
How old am I?, I'm not too old to hear
The sweet ring of truth and understanding
When the words "I love you" reach my ear
Don't mind these lines beneath my eyes, they're well-earned souvenirs
Of a thousand nights of laughter and occasional tears
And I hope you won't be jealous of the silver in my hair
It took many lover's quarrels to put it there
How old am I?, you kiss me and I'm young
Love's a road never traveled, life's a song I've never sung
If I make you happy today, I'm the perfect age
f the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me
And if the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to sleep my whole life through
You brought a new love to me
I know that I'm the slave, you're the queen
Still you can understand that underneath it all
You're a maid and I am only a man
I would work and slave the whole day through
If I could hurry home to you
Every kiss, every hug
Seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms
I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love was something I could take or leave alone
But now I couldn't do without my supply
I need you for my own
Oh, I can't break away
I must have you everyday
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't get free
You're just to marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the phrase
That says enough, tells enough
I mean just aren't swell enough
You're much too much, and just too very very
To ever be, to ever be in the dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
No tears, no fears,
remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part,
we'll be together again
Your kiss, your smile,
are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart,
we'll be together again
Times when I know you'll be lonesome,
times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you,
don't let the blues make you bad
Someday, someway,
we both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not good-bye,
we'll be together again
Somebody else told somebody else
And that somebody said we were through
But I don't believe in rumors, darling
I want it straight from you
Wherever I walk, the people all talk
And they're saying it's time that I knew
But I don't believe in rumors, darling
I want it straight from you
For everyone knows how a rumor grows
When the gossips are doing their worst
But somehow I feel if the stories were real
You would have come to me first
Whatever they say and say what they may
Still it isn't a thing you would do
So I won't believe in rumors, darling
I want it straight from you
For everyone knows how a rumor grows
When the gossips are doing their worst
But somehow I feel if the stories were real
You would have come to me first
So whatever they say and say what they may
Still it isn't a thing you would do
So I won't believe in rumors, darling
My story is much too sad to be told, but practic'ly ev'rything leaves me totally cold.
The only exception I know is the case when I'm out on a quiet spree,
Fighting vainly the old ennui, and I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.
I get no kick from champagne, mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.
So tell me why should it be true that I get a kick out of you ?
Some like the perfume from Spain.I'm sure that if I took even one sniff, it would bore me terrific'ly too.
Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick ev'ry time I see you standing there before me.
I get a kick tho' it's clear to see you obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane. Flying too high with some gal in the skyis my idea of nothing to do.
I've never been in love before, now all at once it's you, it's you forevermore.
I've never been in love before, I thought my heart was safe, I thought I knew the score.
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong, I'm full of foolish songs.
And out my song must pour, so please forgive this helpless haze I'm in,
I'll never let a day pass by without a prayer or two,
That heaven find a way so I might just run into you
Just to be near you and to hear you say hello
Would give an ordinary day a lovely glow.
I'll never let a day pass by but that I'll see your face
And thrill to every tender sigh while you're in my embrace.
I know it's all a dream but darling, if it were true,
One afternoon I came to hear
You sing a soft song into my ear
Who would have thought quite by chance
We might engage in a loving dance?
Coming together, coming apart
Lost in diversions, dancing stars
Caught in the quiet, off on our own
Coming together, standing alone
Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid
What about you, what about me?
Two years from now where will we be?
Each of us gone our separate ways
Lost in a headlong passage of days
Maybe we might give love a try
Extending the moment before "goodbye"
And for a gentle moment in time
We'll take what pleasure people can find
Are you afraid?
I'm not afraid
What is for real, what is false?
All of us seem to be caught in a waltz
Turning around, turning again
When will the dancing ever end?
As for us, you and me
Our eyes are open, we can see
Both of us know where we've been
Why must we both go dancing again?
Come join the dancing, come join the waltz
Don't look too closely at my faults
Why can't I die here in your arms?
Safe from the night and safe from the dawn
Back to the nothing that had no name
Back to the nowhere from where I came
Don't worry of me, I know what I am
Where I'm goin' and where I've been
I'm not afraid!
I'm not afraid!
Drinking again,
And thinking of when you loved me
I'm having a few
And wishing that you were here.
Making the rounds...
Accepting a round from a strangers
Being a fool
Just hoping that you'll appear.
Sure, I can borrow a smoke
Maybe tell some joker a bad joke
But nobody laughs,
They don't laugh at a broken heart.
Oh, yeah, I'm drinking again
It's always that same old story
After the kicks
There's little old mixed-up me
Indiscreet - it's indiscreet
To gaze at you - each time we meet
I've told my eyes - they must disguise - this yearning
Yes it's indiscreet - quite indiscreet
To find your touch - so bitter sweet
You're close to me and suddenly I'm burning
While I ask myself: "Where is your pride?"
Irresistibly I'm drawn to your side
And (Yes) it's indiscreet - so indiscreet
But love is swift - and time is sweet
And oh my dear - I crave the nearness of you
To love you is why my heart must be
Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try - to forget
It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "I have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall - 'til we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
Blow ill wind,
Blow away,
Let me rest today.
You’re blowin’ me no good,
No good.
Go ill wind,
Go away,
Skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood,
And that ain’t good
You’re only misleadin’ the sunshine I’m needin’,
Ain’t that a shame
It’s so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere,
When love’s to blame.
So ill wind, blow away.
Let me rest today.
You’re blowin’ me no good.
So, ill wind, blow away,
Please let me rest today.
You’re blowing me no good, no good, no good.
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed
And my cheeks ain't tanned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride
'fore I learned to stand
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star state
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V8
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'bout the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
Hey, yppie-yi-yo-ki-yay
If you go away on the summer day,
Then you might as well
take the sun away;
All the birds that flew
in the summer sky,
When our love was new
and our hearts were high;
When the day was young
and the night was long,
And the moon stood still
for the night bird’s song.
If you go away, if you go away,
if you go away. if you go away.
But if you stay, I’ll make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again;
We’ll sail the sun, we’ll ride on the rain,
We’ll talk to the trees, worship the wind.
Then if you go, I’ll understand,
Leave me just enough love
to fill up my hand,
If you go away, if you go away,
if you go away, if you go away.
If you go away,
as I know you must,
There’ll be nothing left
in the world to trust,
Just an empty room,
full of empty space,
Like the empty look
I see on your face.
I’d have been the shadow of your dog
If I thought it might have kept me by your side.
If you go away, if you go away,
Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
Once you told me that I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And order 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
Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I am growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
Give you the break you need
More than you know, more than you know
Girl 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
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so
Much 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 baby I can't live without it
Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired, and said good-bye
More than I'd show
Once upon a time
A girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine
And said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time
Very long ago
Once upon a hill
We sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time
Now the tree is gone
How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go
Once upon a time
The world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours
How happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time
Never comes again
Once upon a time
The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
Suddenly you're a lot older
And all because of the gal that got away
No more her eager call
The writing is on the wall
All those dreams you dreamed
They have all gone astray
The gal who won you
She's run off and undone you
That great beginning
Has seen its final inning
I don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game
No more - no more that all time thrill
Because you have been put though the mill
And never a new love
Will ever be the same
Good riddance good-bye
Every trick of hers you are on to
But fools will be fools
And where's she gone? - Where has she gone?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and it's tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow maybe she'll turn up
There ain't no let up
Live long night, night and day
Ever since, (since) this world began
There ain't nothin' sadder than
A long lost loser
Lookin' for his gal who got away
Please come back
Won't you come back
How Insensitive
I must have seemed
When she told me that he loved me
How unmoved and cold
I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
Why she must have asked
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence
What was I to say
What can you say when a love affair is over
Now she's gone away
And I'm alone with the memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad
I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
Why she must have asked
Did I just stare in icy silence
What was I to do
I'll only miss her, when I think of her
And I'll think of her, all the time
Likely I'll spend my days - hearing her turn of phrase
Things I found hard to praise - right now, would seem sublime
The truth is...
I'll Only miss her, when some stranger laughs
'Cause it's still her laugh - my hearts hears
Maybe in time - I guess, the longing will grow, the slightest bit less
And there will be moments - yes - when it disappears
AUTHOR: Shapiro/Campbell/Connelly
I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad - all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you
I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals - I'd never mind
I could start my life anew
If I had you
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
I could Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a king (dear) uncrowned
Humble or poor - rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you
Never treats me sweet and gentle the way she should
I got it bad and that ain’t good
My poor heart is sentimental, not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain’t good
But when the weekend’s over and monday rolls around
I end up like I start out, just cryin’ my heart out
Doesn’t love me like I love her, no, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain’t good
Like a lonely weepin’ willow who’s lost in the wood
I got it bad and that ain’t good
And the things I tell my pillow, nobody should
I got it bad, I got I bad, and it’s no good
Though folks with good intentions, they tell me to save up my tears
I’m glad I’m mad about her, I can’t live without her
Lord above, make her love me the way that she should
I got it bad and that ain’t good
I got it bad and that ain’t good
No good
No good
No good
No good
Grab your coat and snatch your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep.
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.
Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune in your step.
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with the blues on parade.
BUT I'M NOT afraid the rover, crossed over.
If I never had a cent I'll be rich as Rockfeller.
The gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade.
But I'm not afraid 'cause the rover, he got over.
If I never had a cent I'd be rich as Rockfeller.
All those chicks 'round my feet,
(spoken)
(Oh gosh darn it, there goes that last butt.)
(Come on, sweet, let's walk it. Here we go.)
It's a long way from your house to my house,
And the last bus left us long ago.
Goodnight, my sweet, I love you very very,
Oh my poor feet, is this trip necessary?
It's a long way from your lips to my lips,
And your lips to me are divine.
So have a little sympathy, say that you'll marry me,
It's such a long way from your house to mine.
(Walk those squares, and dodge those lines.)
(Gee, I feel light enough to skip home.)
It's a long way from your house to my house,
Your lips to me are divine.
So have a little sympathy, say that you'll marry me,
It's such a long way from your house to mine.
(Ahem, can I get in for five minutes more?)
(You mean this is goodnight after I walk you all the way home?)
It's such a long way from your house to mine.
Your sweet expression, the smile you gave me
The way you looked when we met
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget
I hear you whisper, I'll always love you
I know it's over and yet
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget
So I must dream to have your hands caress me
Fingers press me tight, I'd rather dream
Than have that lonely feeling stealing through the night
Each little moment is clear before me
And though it brings me regret
It's easy to remember and so hard to forget
Each little moment is clear before me
And though it brings me regret
It's funny how you loved me, then forgot so suddenly,
It's funny to everyone but me.
(It's the talk of the town)
They told me this would happen, now they're laughing secretly,
It's funny to everyone but me.
(gosh, he's crying again)
I should shrug my shoulders and say, good riddance to a bad affair,
But how can I do, but my head tells me to,
When my heart tells me how much I care?
It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century,
It's funny to everyone but me.
(I got the right to think of you)
It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century,
Drowsy morning sunlight, gentle kisses for my love
It's Sunday, it's Sunday
She needn't waken, I'll fix the eggs and bacon her way
While she just dozes
Lately I've taken to bringing her a flower on her tray
She's fond of roses
We'll talk away the morning, read the papers, misbehave
Enjoying each other
The world is ours to play in, we'll take a walk or stay in
Long and lazy hours to have and hide away in for one day
Thank goodness, it's Sunday
[brief guitar solo]
It is Sunday, it's Sunday
[slightly longer guitar solo]
Lately I've taken to bringing her a flower on her tray
She's fond of roses
We'll talk away the morning, read the papers, misbehave
Enjoying each other
The world is ours to play in, we'll take a walk or stay in
Long and lazy hours to have and hide away in for one day
If I only had a match, then my cares I'd soon forget.
All I need would be a match if I had a cigarette.
If I had a cigarette, I could watch the smoke rings curl.
But I'd really be all set, if I only had a girl.
If I had someone like you, to hurry to each night,
In a cozy bungalow, we'd know such sweet delight.
We could raise a family, and a little garden patch,
And to think this all could be, if I only had a match.
If I had someone like you, to hurry to each night,
In a cozy bungalow, we'd know such sweet delight.
We could raise a family, and a little garden patch,
Oh there's nothing to be ashamed of
If you stub your toe on the moon.
When the dream's at the top of the sky,
Well, you'll just have to jump pretty high,
But don't give up too soon,
If you stub your toe on the moon.
Now young Harry Hodgett loved making gadgets,
Life needs some new things was his claim,
Hope one or two things might bring fame,
This is the last time you'll hear his name.
Nobody mentions Harry's inventions,
But do you think that got him down?
Here comes the end when there're gadgets to mend
He's the best repairman in town.
So there's nothing to be ashamed of,
If you stub your toe on the moon.
When you start out to climb to a cloud,
Well, it may get a laugh from the crowd,
But don't give up too soon,
If you stub your toe on the moon.
Sweet Sally Springer, she was a singer,
Lived in a hall room up one flight,
Thought of the ballroom big and bright,
Where she would make her debut some night,
And then for her trouble, pop went the bubble,
Say that it's sad, but wait, don't weep.
Now they admit, every night she's a hit,
When she sings her children to sleep.
No, there's nothing to be ashamed of
If you stub your toe on the moon,
Though it may be a blow to your pride,
You're a hero because, well, you tried,
So don't give up too soon,
If you stub your toe on the moon,
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats, O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.
O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.
For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace their King
I happens every spring, the world is young again
Where children on an up-sa-daisy swing,
A carousel with horses freshly painted,
The oompapa that says let's get acquainted.
What is that cheer I heard, a fellow stealing third,
Your neighbor's boy became a home-run king.
Your dad rolls up his sleeves to clean the attic.
Your sixteen year old sister goes dramatic.
It happens, yes it happens every spring.
The tears that go with sulphur and molasses,
The outstretched necks when the ice cream wagon passes.
A rippling stream sounds like a rippling heart,
As Mother Nature proudly spreads her new green carpet.
Be patient, lonely one, your love will come along,
Your autumn heart will find the songs that sing.
Then raindrops will be dancing to the tune of it,
The carefree gay and April, May and June of it,
And remember it never rains but what it pours,
And maybe raindrops will be whispering, whispering, it's yours.
Be patient, lonely one, your love will come along,
If I could be with you, I'd love you strong
If I could be with you, I'd love you long
I want you to know that I wouldn't go
Until I told you, honey, why I love you so
If I could be with you one hour tonight
If I was free to do the things that I might
I'm tellin' you true, I'd be anything but blue
If I could be with you
I want you to know that I wouldn't go
Until I told you, baby, why I love you so
If I could be with you one hour tonight
If I was free to do the things that I might
I'm tellin' you true, I'd be anything but blue
If I could be with you
I'll never forget you
But should I forget you
Then let my eyes forget
That they have
Seen the day, my love
And let my ears
Not hear sweet children
At their play, my love
And let my lips forget
That they have learned
To pray, my love
If I forsake you
If I forsake you
I'll never forget you
But should I forget you
Then may
I ever know the bitter
Not the sweet, my love
And may I never find
A friendly hand
To greet, my love
And let
This heart of mine
Forget that it
Must beat, my love
If I forget
If I forget you
If i forget
I've got my love to keep me warm,
off with my overcoat,
off with my glove,
I need no overcoat,
I'm burning with love.
My heart's on fire,
the flame goes higher,
but I can weather the storm,
What do I care how much it may storm,
All or nothing at all
Half of love, never appealed to me
If your heart, never could yield to me
Then I'd rather, rather have nothing at all
I said all or nothing at all
If it's love, there ain’t no in between
Why begin then cry, for something that might have been
No I'd rather, rather have nothing at all
Hey please don't bring your lips close to my cheek
Don't you smile or I'll be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart it may grow very dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be, be caught in the undertow
Well you see, I've got to say no, no, no
All or nothing at all
And if I fell, fell under the spell of your call
Don’t you know I would be caught in the undertow
So you see, I’ve just got to say no, no
All or nothing at all
Oh, they say some people long ago
Were searching for a diff'rent tune
One that they could croon
As only they can
They only had the rhythm
So they started swaying to and fro
They didn't know just what to use
That is how the blues really began
They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues
And from a jail came the wail
Of a down-hearted frail
And they played that
As part of the blues
From a whippoorwill
Out on a hill
They took a new note
Pushed it through a horn
'Til it was worn
Into a blue note
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it
And gave out the news
That the Southland gave birth to the blues!

Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You can't get cherry soda
'Cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say no no no
The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
I'm gettin' married in the morning
Ding-dong the bells are gonna chime
We'll have a whopper, pull out the stopper
Get me to the church on time
I've got to get there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in my prime
Girls come and kiss me, say that you'll miss me
Get me to the church on time
If I am dancing, roll up the floor
If I am whistling, out the door
I'm gettin' married in the morning
Ding-ding-dong they're gonna chime
Don't lose your compass, kick up a rumpus
Get me to the church, get me to the church
For Pete's sake, get me to the church on time
If I am dancing, roll up the floor
If I am whistling, right out the door
I'm gettin' married in the morning
Ding-dong they're gonna chime
Girls come and kiss me, say that you'll miss me
Get me to the church, get me to the church
For Pete's sake, get me to the church on time
Ding-dong
Ding-dong
Ding-dong
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby , kiss me
Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days are short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush on you
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Now this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this.
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss:
This is my kind of town.
Chicago is,
My kind of town,Chicago is,
My kind of people, too;
People who smile at you,
And each time I roam, Chicago is,
Callin' me home, Chicago is,
Why I just grin like a clown;
It's my kind of town.
My kind of town.
Chicago is my kind of town.
Chicago is my kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz,
And each time I leave, Chicago is,
Tuggin' my sleeve, Chicago is,
The Wrigley Building,Chicago is,
The Union Stockyards, Chicago is,
One town that won't let you down;
Well, they call you lady luck
But there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way
Of running out
Your on this date with me
And the pickin's have been lush
And yet before the evening is over
You might give me the brush
You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with
Please be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame I can be
I know the way you've treated
All those girls before me
Please be a lady with me
A lady doesn't leave her escort
It isn't fair, and it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And then blow on some other guys dice
Why do we keep [Incomprehensible] eyes
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me, baby
I'm the girl that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated
All those girls before me
Luck be a lady with me
A lady never flirts with strangers
She have a heart, she'll be nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And then blow on some other guys dice
So why don't we keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight, no way
Stick with me, baby
I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady
Luck be a lady, luck be a lady
This very night, this night
The shadow of your smile
When you have gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me
Our wistful little star
It was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so, so did I
Now when I remember spring
And every little lovely thing
I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Your lovely smile
One day you turn around, and it's summer
Next day you turn around, and it's fall
And suddenly, all the springs and winters of a lifetime
Whatever happened to them all
As a man, who has always had the wandering ways
Now I'm looking back on yesterdays
'Til a long forgotten love appears
And I find, I'm sighing softly as I near
September, the warm September of my years
As a man, who has never paused at wishing wells
Now I'm watching children's carousels
And their laughter's music to my ears
And I find, I'm smiling gently as I near
September, the warm September of my years
Some like a night at the movies, some like a dance or a show
Some are content with an evening spent home by the radio
Some like to live for the moment, some like to just reminisce
But whenever I have an evening to spend. just give me one like this
This is a lovely way to spend an evening. can't think of anything I'd rather do
This is a lovely way to spend an evening, can't think of anyone as lovely as you
A casual stroll through a garden. a kiss by a lazy lagoon
Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you
Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
When you're awake the things you think
Come from the dream you dream
Thought has wings, and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem
Sometimes you think you've lived before
All that you live today
Things you do come back to you
As though they knew the way
Oh the tricks your mind can play
It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you are wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
My window looks out over the park,
And every year I move another story up.
So now I'm almost close enough
To the roof of the sky to touch it.
(Instrumental)
I could even move the clouds aside,
But no clouds come, if they did, I'd welcome them.
'Cause I have very few visitors here any more.
There must be a highway somewhere, roads I've missed,
Something more than sky out beyond the window.
This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new note is the consequence of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you
There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk
and just say nothing or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know and at the end I've come
to nothing or nearly nothing
So I come back to my first note as I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note all the love I feel for you
Any one who wants the whole show dó-ré-mi-fá-sol-lá-ti-dó
The moon and you appear to be so near and yet so far from me,
And here am I, on a night in June, reaching for the moon and you.
I wonder if we'll ever meet, my song of love is incomplete,
I'm just the words, looking for the tune, reaching for the moon and you.
[musical interlude]
I wonder if we'll ever meet, my song of love is incomplete,
Out of my love that eventide, monstrous clouds even pine
Footsteps echo by my side, the spirit takes a sign
Twilight skies are all alight across the deep lagoon,
A face is breaking through the night, my Indian maid Pale Moon.
Speak through thy love forsaken, thy spirit mantle grow.
Ere thou the great white dawn awaken and through the sea thou swingest low,
Then to the west, I'll follow across the deep lagoon,
Sand and sea, sea and sand
And the warm bright sun up there above
Summer days, happy days
With my love
Sand and sea, sea and sand
Hear the wings in flight of the lovely dove
Summer nights, happy nights
We were makin' love
The blinking stars are dancing on the whitecaps
Crazy stars, they've had too many nightcaps
I touch your hand, the hand that lies beside me
Paradise can't be far if you'll guide me
Sand and sea, sea and sand
And the angels sing from above
Happy days, hey, happy nights
Makin' love
Sand and sea, sea and sand
And the angels sing from above
Happy days, happy nights
Makin' love
We're in love
Oooh-oooh makin' love
[Fade]
Sand and sea
One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken
Remember the night
The night you said, "I love you"
Remember?
Remember you vowed
By all the stars above you
Remember?
Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot
You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot
To remember
Into my dreams you wandered it seems, and then there came a day
You loved me too, my dreams had come true, and all the world was
But soon the Maytime turned to December
There's no guy in France, for in France there's no romance,
Since Marie has left Paree.
Every ship that sails took the cargo full of mail,
'Cause Marie has left Paree.
No amour, no more like they used to have before,
There's no Marie, she moved to gay Napoli.
Say bon voyage, I got to go,
Where's my corsage? Where's my chapeau?
Bye bye Paree, I'm off to Napoli.
[musical interlude]
There's no Marie, she flew off to Napoli.
Say bon voyage, I got to go
Where's my corsage? Where's my chapeau?
Bye bye, 'cause Marie has left Paree,
(Shiela, Shiela, wa wawawa woo)
Shiela is yesterday's kiss,
The girl who loved me, the heart that I miss,
At times when old flames reappear,
I cry over souvenirs, or smile at lonely flowers.
Those hours with Shiela, I'll never regain,
Their light has faded like one summer rain,
But someway I'll find that someday
When Shiela is mine once again.
(Those hours with Shiela he'll never regain.)
(Their light has faded, faded like one summer rain)
But someway, I'll find that someday
When Shiela is mine once again.
That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear,
That when you turned and smiled at me,
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square.
The moon that lingered over London town,
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love,
The whole darn world seemed upside down.
The streets of town were paved with stars,
It was such a romantic affair.
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
A nightingale sang in Berkley Square.
In me you see a man alone
Held by the habit of being on his own
A man who listens to the trembling of the trees
With sentimentals ease
In me you see a man alone
Behind the wall he's learned to call his home
A man who still goes walking in the rain
Expecting love again.
A man not lonely
Except when the dark comes on
A man learning to live with
Memories of midnights
That fell apart at dawn
In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
Only other people's dreams.
A man learning to live with
Memories of midnights
That fell apart at dawn
In me you see a man alone
Drinking up Sundays and spending them alone
A man who knows love is seldom what it seems
A little dream castle
With every dream gone
Is lonely and silent
The shades are all drawn
And my heart is heavy
As I gaze upon
A cottage for sale
The lawn we were proud of
Is waving in hay
A beautiful garden
Has withered away
Where you planted roses
The weeds seem to say
A cottage for sale
From every single window
I see your face
But when I reach the window
There's empty space
The key's in the mailbox
The same as before
But no one is waiting
For me anymore
The end of our story
Is there on the door
Nathan, you must concentrate on the game. The town is up to here with high players. The Greek's in
town. Freddie Bottle Bates, Scranton Slim.
Nathan: I know, I know, I could make a fortune, but to make a fortune, I need a fortune. A thousand
bucks, where do I get it?
The Biltmore Garage wants a grand, but we ain't got a grand on hand.
And they now got a lock on the door to the gym at Public School 84.
There's a stock room behind McKlosky's Bar, but Mrs. McKlosky ain't a good scout.
And things being how they are, the back of the police station is out!
So the Biltmore Garage is the spot, but the one thousand bucks we ain't got.
Why, it's good old reliable Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit,
If you're looking for action, he'll turn it to spot,
Even when the heat is on, it's never too hot.
But for the good old reliable Nathan, oh it's only just a short walk,
To the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New Yawk.
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere, everywhere,
There are well-heeled shooters everywhere,
And awful lot of lettuce for the fella who can get us to play.
If we only had a lousy little crap, we could be a millionaire.
Oh the good old reliable Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit,
If the size of your bundle you want to increase,
I'll arrange that you go broke in quiet and peace,
In a hideout provided by Nathan, where there are no neighbors to squawk,
It's the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New Yawk.
Where's the action? Where's the game?
Gotta have the game or we'll die from shame.
I got plenty of nothing
And nothing's plenty for me
I got no car - got no mule
I got no misery
Folks with plenty of plenty
They've got a lock on the door
Afraid somebody's gonna rob 'em
While there out (a) making more - what for
I got no lock on the door - that's no way to be
They can steal the rug from the floor - that's OK with me
'Cause the things that I prize - like the stars in the skies - are all free
I got plenty of nothing
And nothing's plenty for me
I got my gal - got my song
(I) Got heaven the whole day long
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 make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
The smile of Turner and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm there was a chick
The purtiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick, she had curves everywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And oh, this chick, she had a walk, E-I-E-I-O
And how this walk would drive 'em wild swingin' to and 'fro
With a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there
Man, this chick had wiggles to spare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
When she went walkin' into town, E-I-E-I-O
The local gentry popped their eyes
Tarnation, what a show
With a "goldang" here and a "goshdarn" there
"Heavens to Betsy" I do declare
Ol' MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O
There was a barn dance Saturday night, E-I-E-I-O
And the fellas came from miles around
Just to see her do-si-do
With a promenade here and a promenade there
At a square dance, boy, this chick was no square
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
I used to be a travelling man, E-I-O
Until I hit MacDonald's place things were mighty slow
With a little chick here and a little chick there
I didn't have a real chick anywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
This farmer's daughter knocked me out, E-I-E-I-O, ah-hah
I asked MacDonald for her hand
And Pappy hollered "Go!"
With a little curve here and a little wiggle there
A "goldang" here and a "goshdarn" there
A do-si-do here and a promenade there
Got my own private county fair
Oh, how I miss you tonight, miss you while lights are low,
Oh, how I need you tonight, more than you'll ever know.
Each moment, though we're apart, you're never out of my heart.
But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only,
My dear, how I miss you tonight.
[musical interlude]
Each moment, though we're apart, you're never out of my heart.
But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only,
Here's to love, may we meet again,
Here's to love, life may be sweet again.
Here's to the moon in the sky, the stars that used to shine,
Yes, that moon in the sky and all those stars,
They were all yours and mine.
Here's to dream, may they all come true.
Here's to dream, maybe you're dreaming too.
And if this glass of champagne,
Can bring down the heaven above,
Then with this glass of champagne,
I'll just say here's to love.
[Here's to love, may we meet again,]
[Here's to love, life may be sweet again.]
(Here's to the moon in the sky, and the stars that shine,)
[Yes, that moon in the sky and all those stars,]
[They were all yours and mine.]
(Here's to dream, may they all come true.)
(Here's to dream, maybe you're dreaming too.)
And if this glass of champagne,
Can bring down the heaven above,
(Then with this glass of champagne,)
(I'll say here's to love.)
(full musical rendition of the song, as Tommy usually does. Frank after all is only his vocalist)
Tommy Dorsey: The second spot in our Fame And Fortune Show is always saved for the romantic Frank
Sinatra. Take Frank's voice and a swell ballad like this one, and you have the perfect twosome.
Franklin, I Give You My Word.
Sinatra sings:
I give you my word, I'll never love again.
I give you my word, this is my first and last romance.
I gave my lips, my heart and soul to you,
My heart will break if you don't take me too.
I give you my word, you are the only one.
All heaven has heard what your love has done.
Darling, what's the good of life without love, or love without you,
I'll never change, I give you my word.
(back-up) [Connie Haines]
Connie Haines:
[I saw your face in a cloud, and I was singing out loud]
[When I saw your face, your very lovely face in a cloud.]
[I saw your eyes in a star, they winked at me from afar]
[A million miles away I saw them plain as day in a star.]
[You are on my mind, morning noon and night.]
[And no matter where I go, I find you are always in my sight.]
[I saw your face in the moon, you disappear too soon.]
[So I hope and pray when there's no moon to shine,]
[I'll see your lovely face, your very lovely face next to mine.]
(musical interlude)
Frankie:
You are on my mind, morning. noon and night.
And no matter where I go, I find you are always in my sight.
Days without you when there's so much to tell,
What to do, I've got a restless spell.
How about you, are you alone as well?
What to do, I've got a restless spell.
Why should this love of mine find me
Restless and moody and blue
Shadows all seem to remind me
You're meant for me, dear, and I'm meant for you.
Love is swell, but you can't love alone,
Might as well be a statue of stone.
I'm lost without you dear, but what to do,
More than the greatest love the world has known,
This is the love I give to you alone,
More than the simple words I try to say,
I 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 keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping,
Longer than always is a long long time, but far beyond forever you're gonna be mine.
I know I've never lived before and my heart is very sure,
No one else could love you more.
(musical interlude)
More than you'll ever know , my arms they long to hold you so,
My life will be in your keeping, waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping,
Longer than always is a long long time, but far beyond forever you'll be mine,
I know that I've never lived before and my heart is very sure,
It's the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal,
Yes, the good life, lets you hide all the sadness you feel,
You won't really fall in love 'cause you can't take the chance,
So be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance.
Yes, the good life, to be free and explore the unknown,
Like the heartache when you learn you must face them alone,
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why,
Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.
(musical interlude)
Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why,
Hey, little girl, comb your hair, fix your make-up, soon he will open the door,
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger, you needn't try any more.
For wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment that he comes home to you.
I'm warning you,
Day after day, there are girls at the office and the men will always be men,
Don't send him off, with your hair still in curlers, you may not see him again.
Wives should always be lovers too,
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you.
He's almost here, hey, little girl, better wear something pretty,
Something you wear to go to the city,
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music, time to get ready for love.
Time to get ready for love, yes it's time to get ready for love,
Some time ago, I wandered down into old Mexico
While I was there, I felt romance everywhere
Moon was shining bright, and I could hear laughing voices in the night
Everyone was gay, This was the start of their holiday.
It was fiesta down in Mexico, and so I stopped a while to see the show
I knew that "frenesÃ" meant "Please love me" and I could say frenesÃ.
A lovely señorita caught my eye, I stood enchanted as she wandered by
And never knowing that it come from me, I gently sighed frenesÃ.
She stopped and raised her eyes to mine, Her lips just pleaded to be kissed
Her eyes were soft as candle-shine, so how was I to resist?
And now without a heart to call my own, a greater happiness I've never known
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart,
Somebody twice as smart as I.
Somebody who will swear to be true like you used to do with me,
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company, wait and see.
I wanna be around to see how he does it when he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits, so fine,
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine.
That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine,
Goodbye, no use leading with our chins, this is where our story ends,
Never lovers ever friends.
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day, but before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say.
I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love.
And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade,
I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
But, most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.
(musical interlude)
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, hot damn, I wish you love.
I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say
Take me back, I love you
...I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
I believe, I believe,
I believe in wishing wells,
But I also believe in a lot of things,
things the daisy tells,
I believe, I believe that a four-leaf clover brings,
Lots of luck, lots of joy, lots of happiness,
I believe those things.
And when it's Christmas time I believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe,
I believe that dreams come true,
If you wish for a dream by a wishing well,
Don't tell your wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound na‹ve, but that's what I believe.
(instrumental)
And when it's Christmas,
I try to believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe,
I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe,
I do believe that dreams come true,
And if you wish for a dream by the wishing well,
Don't you tell the wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound na‹ve,
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still (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
There'll be a hot time
In the town of Berlin
When the Yanks go marchin' in
I wanna be there boy,
And spread some joy
When they take old Berlin
There'll be a hot time
In the town of Berlin
When the Brooklyn boys begin
To take the joint apart
And tear it down
When they take old Berlin
They're gonna start a row
And show them how
We paint the town back, in Kokomo
They're gonna take a hike
Through Hitler's Reich
And change his 'Heil' to 'What ya know, Joe'
There'll be a hot time
In the town of Berlin
When the Yanks go marchin' in
You could never keep 'em happy down on the farm
After they take Berlin
I'm gonna grab a Frau
And show her how
We paint the town back, in Michigan
I'm gonna take a hike
Through Hitler's Reich
And change that 'Heil' to 'Gimme some skin'
There'll be a hot time
In the town of Berlin
When the Yanks go marchin' in
You know that you could never keep 'em happy down on the farm

Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isnt your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When youre in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If youll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
If you are but a dream
I hope I never waken,
It's more than I could bear
To find that I'm forsaken.
If you're a fantasy
Then I'm content to be
In love with lovely you,
And pray my dream comes true.
I long to kiss you
But I would not dare,
I'm so a-fraid that
You may vanish in the air,
So darling,
If our romance would break up,
I hope I never wake up,
There's no business like show business like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow
There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on with the show
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause.
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye for anything theatrical and why?
There's no business like show business and I tell you it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling, standing out in front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling, and there's your billing out there in lights
There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose it, there's no attack
Where could you get money that you don't give back? Let's go on with the show
(There's no business like show business like no business I know)
You get word before the show has started that your favorite uncle died at dawn
Top of that, your pa and ma have parted, you're broken-hearted, but you go on
(There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low)
Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you open and there you are
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
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 of it, ´bout 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 goodbye, dear, and Amen, here´s hoping we´ll meet now and then.
It was great fun but it was just one of those things.
It was just, jkust 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 of it ´bout the end of it, when we started painting that town.,
We´d have been aware that our love affair was too hot not to cool down.
So goodbye, goodbye, bye-bye, goodbye, baby, and Amen,here´s hoping we´ll meet nown and then.
It was great fun but it was jus tone of those things.
This love of mine goes on and on,
Tho' life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, tho' out of sight
It's lonesome thru the day,
But oh! the night.
I cry my heart out it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
The stars that shine,
Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try - to forget
It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "I have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall - 'til we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
When all the songs are out of tune
And all the rhymes ring so untrue
When I can't find the words to say
Or the thoughts I long to bring to you
When I hear lonely singers
Who are just as lost as me
Making noise, not melody
Then you will be my music
You, you will be my song
Yes you, you will be my music
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong
I'll never find the words to tell you
All the things I need to say
And I'm afraid that as time goes by
That someday soon you'll go away
And I'll be lost and trying
Trying for songs I'll never sing
Wanting you, wanting you is everything
You will be my music
Yes, you will be my song
You will be my music
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong
I can't wait any longer for my song
Her day was born in shades of blue
Her song was sad the words were true
Her morning came too fast too soon
And died before the afternoon
Poor lady day could use some love, some sunshine
Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some spring, some breezes
Lady day has too much pain
It's such a lonely face
Such a cloudy sky
So many shadows in her eye
So many empty dreams
So many bitter times
Just a handful
Of broken rhymes
Poor lady day could use a smile, some kindness
Lady day has too much rain
Poor lady day could use some dreams, some flowers
Lady day has too much pain
Just too much to say
Just to much to know
Too little time to say hello
And then the evening comes
And now she doesn't cry
And it's too late to say
It happened in Monterey, a long time ago
I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico
Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips, as red as wine
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine
It happened in Monterey without thinking twice
I left her and threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey
Ah, it happened in Monterey, a long time ago
I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico
Stars, guitars, lips red as wine
Broke somebody's heart and I fear that it was mine
It happened in Monterey and without thinking twice
I left her and I threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart, how it longs for that sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey

[Girl]
Now here's a story with quite a moral,
And all you gals, you gotta pay some mind,
When you find a guy [yeah?] worth keeping, be satisfied,
Make sure you treat him very kind..
'Cause a good guy [Ow!] is hard to find,
You could always get the other kind.
[But when you think that you got her tied, you'll find her]
Messing around with another guy.
Then you rave and you'll even start to crave,
Man, you want to see her lying deep down in the grave.
So if the guy's nice, you better take my advice,
You better love him in the morning, kiss him every night,
Ooo, give him plenty of loving, treat him right,
Because a good man nowadays is hard to find.
[Buster, you gotta be kidding, you see this little guy?]
[The one with the feeble mind, he always been, he moving time.]
[One fine day he dug another chick, she took all his loot and cut him quick.]
[Now, he's calling me back on the phone, he says]
Baby, don't you go away, I'm coming right home.
[But if you wanna come back, come on in our little grass shack,]
[You gotta love me in the morning, kiss me in the night,]
[You give me lots of loving, treat me right,]
['Cause a good gal nowadays is hard to find.]
Well, I went back, but I told this doll,
I said: Woman, then is then, but now is now,
If you want me to stay, there's just one but (what?)
Keep a smile on your face, and keep your big mouth shut.
Well, we're back together, and everything is fine,
[I'm a-running the show, jack, you better stay in line.]
[Now you know what to do when the day is through.]
I better love you in the AM [that's right!], kiss you in the PM [what else?]
Give plenty of loving [show me!] with all my mind [good boy!]
[For a good gal nowadays are hard to find.. Leroy!] Yes, ma'am!
[I am just .. you better keep those cotton picking hands off all those other dames or I'll]
Or you'll what? [I'll fly over there and turn off all your lights.]
Uh yeah, like I was saying, a good
[Oh man, yes!]
I'll wake each morning and I'll promise to laugh
I'll say "Good morning" to your old photograph
Then I'll speak to you, dear, just as though you were here
When purple shadows start to welcome the dark
I'll take the same old stroll we took through the park
And I'll cling to you, dear, just as though you were here
But I know so well that distance and time will finally tear us apart
The farther you go, the longer you stay, the deeper the doubts in my heart
Each night before I wander off into sleep
I'll bring to light the tears I've buried so deep
Then I'll kiss you, my dear, just as though you were here
And when I hear a lonesome train, I'm afraid
I'll think of all those trips we never quite made
Fragile dreams that we planned
Then I'll reach for your hand
When I take my sugar to tea,
all the boys are jealous of me,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
I'm a rowdy dowdy,
that's me, she's a high hat baby, that's she,
So I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
Every Sunday afternoon,
we forget about our cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz,
with those millionaires.
When I take my sugar to tea,
I'm as ritzy as I can be,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
(musical interlude)
Every Sunday afternoon,
we forget about those cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz,
with those zillionaires.
When I take my sugar to tea,
I'm as ritzy as I can be,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
Verse:
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust
Of yesterday
The music
Of the years
Gone by
Chorus:
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song.
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you.
When our love was new, and each kiss an inspiration.
But that was long ago, and now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.
Beside the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though I dream in vain, in my heart you will remain
My stardust melody
Where I live in the desert, it's so peaceful and warm.
And the cares of the world drift by, like clouds reflected in a quiet pool
But there always comes a time, when a man has to think of the future,
(War, war, war!) Has to think of his children, (war, war, war!)
And the world they will live in (war, war, war, war!),
I'm not sure if I can do anything to help them, but I can try, I can try.
Time to build us a fire, seven hundred feet high,
We can fashion a fire (fire) that will reach the sky (reach the sky)
We can feed the flames with the unkind deeds we've done (with the fire),
'Cause we've got to get ready, for World War None.
(What we want is to burn our sins in a sort of furnace,)
(We'll be stoking the fire with the lies we know)
All our false suspicions we can burn them one by one
That will help us get ready for World War None.
(A little love is more effective than a rifle,)
(A little faith will take you farther than it can)
(The rule we follow is the one forever spoken)
(They haven't got the truth on their lips).
Keep on feeding the fire, till the fire is hot,
With those un-neighborly feelings we deny we've got.
Keep on trying for peace, until that peace is won.
Then you're practically ready for World War None.
(A whispered word or touch is louder than a bugle)
(A silent prayer is so much stronger than a sword,)
(And the bombs that can't replace the stained glass window)
For which we should thank the good Lord, thank the good Lord)
(Thank you, thank you, thank you)
If we cherish our fire (if we cherish our fire)
It could possibly be (it could possibly be),
Bright enough to be seen, (bright enough to be seen)
Far across the sea (far across the sea),
When those other countries (when those other countries)
what we have done (what we've done)
Maybe they'll help us get ready (get ready, get ready)
Starry night, this is the fable of the rose,
The rose I gave my love,
So young and tender, so in bloom.
Filled with a faint perfume,
Is lying crushed and faded in a room.
Starry night, this is the fable of the rose,
The rose I gave my love,
Beyond all dreams of her caress,
I may as well confess,
She only loved me slightly nonetheless
Yet her smile so strangely taunts me
All the thrill of it haunts me,
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't that be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
It happened in Monterey, a long time ago
I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico
Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips, as red as wine
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine
It happened in Monterey without thinking twice
I left her and threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey
Ah, it happened in Monterey, a long time ago
I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico
Stars, guitars, lips red as wine
Broke somebody's heart and I fear that it was mine
It happened in Monterey and without thinking twice
I left her and I threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart, how it longs for that sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey

The best of everything - that's (that is) what I wish you all
The best of everything - a Rembrandt (hanging) on your (the) wall
A yacht that wins you cups
Skateboards with style and speed
Show dogs or loving pups
The pride of the pound or the pedigreed
I hope you win that prize - pass that blue ribbon test
I hope your good keeps getting better - 'til your better's best
With every wine you taste
With every song you sing
By now you may have guest
I hope you get the best of everything
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright
I've got to stand up for myself
This society don't care about nobody else
I've got to be strong
Even if I know that this feeling is wrong
I've got to not care
Even if I know that this world is meant to share
Wait a minute. This is wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby
What you gonna do when your friends have gone away
And deserted you
You'll have to be strong
24 hours can seem so long
You're taught to not care
And then not realise this world is meant to share
Wait a minute. It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby
We've got to stand up for ourselves
Even if a leader so cold wants to glory himself
We've got to be strong
Even if our reasons seem wrong
We've got to not care
Even if the world that we know may not even be here
Hold It! It's wrong
Even the birds still sing their faithful song
And your beauty lies within you
Look in the mirror baby
Look in the mirror baby
I was mighty blue
Thought my life was through
'Til the heavens opened
And I gazed at you
Won't you tell me, dear
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me
And the strangest feeling goes through me?
You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
It's the wrong time, and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not her face, but such a charming face
That it's all right with me
It's the wrong song, in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's all right with me
You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone, too?
It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips
That, if some night, you are free
If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you
Leaves would wither and die
The birds in May-time - they'd sing a mournful refrain
And I would wander around - hating the sound of rain
With you beside me
The rose would bloom in the snow
With you beside me
No winds of winter would blow
I gave you my love - and I was living a dream
But living would seem - in vain if I
(Hating the rain - if I)
(All is in vain if I)
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has Macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows they begin to spread
Fancy white gloves has Macheath dear
So there's never, never a trace of red
On the sidewalk, one Sunday morning
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone perhaps, per chance be Mack the Knife
From a tugboat, on the river going slow
A cement bag is dropping down
You know that cement is for the weight dear
You can make a large bet Macheath's in town
My man Louis Miller, he split the scene babe
After drawing out all the bread from his stash
Now Macheath spends like a sailor
Do you suppose this guy, he did something rash
Old Satchmo, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darrin
They did this song nice, Lady Ella too
They all sang it, with so much feeling
That Old Blue Eyes, he ain't gonna add nothing new
But with this big, fat band, jumping behind me
Swinging hard, Jack, I know I can't lose
When I tell you, all about Mack the Knife babe
It's an offer, you can never refuse
We got Patrick Williams, Bill Miller playing that piano
And this wonderful, great big band, bringing up the rear
All these bad cats, in this band now
They make the greatest sounds, you're ever gonna hear
Oh Sookie Taudry, Jenny Diver, Polly Peachum, Old Miss Lulu Brown
Hey the line forms, on the right dear
Now that Macheath,that bum is back in town
You'd better lock your doors, and call the law
The music she moves to, is music that makes me a dancer
I brought her my wildest of dreams, and she came up with the answer
I leave behind a part of myself, whenever I leave her
But oh, when I'm back in her arms
She smiles and then - I am home again
'Cause L.A. is my lady
She's always there for me
L.A. is my lady
She knows how to care for me
No lady's sweeter - you know it the moment you meet her
I've been in love more times, than I care to remember
And love's kept me cool in July and warm in December
It may not have lasted, but each time I thought it was heaven
You name it, I've been there and back
Lookin' for someone who - I'd be faithful to
L.A. is my lady
She's always there for me
L.A. is my lady
She knows how to care for me
She's good to me - yeah she's good to me
And that's why
L.A. is my lady - L.A. is my lady
And you're lookin' at a man who - doesn't ever plan to
Sad is to live in solitude
far from your tranquil altitude
Sad is to know that no one ever can live on a dream
that never can be, will never be
dreamer awake, wake up and see.
Your beauty is an aeroplane
so high my heart can't bear the strain
A heart that stops when you pass by
only to cause me pain
sad is to live in solitude
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
cho: Noel, Noel
Noel,Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued, both day and night.
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far,
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star whereever it went.
This star drew nigh to the northwest;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest.
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place whcre Jesus lay.
Then they did know assuredly
Within that house, the King did lie
One entered in then for to see
And found the babe in poverty.
Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently, upon bended knee,
And offered there, in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.
If we in our time do well
We shall be free from death and hell
For God hath prepared for us all
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 dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
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
In the blue of evening when you appear close to me, dear one,
There in the dusk we'll share a dream reverie,
In the blue of evening while crickets call and stars are falling,
There 'neath the midnight sky you'll come to me.
In the shadows of the night we'll stand, I'll touch your hand.
And then, softly as your lovely eyes entreat, our lips will meet again.
In the blue of evening, night winds above whisper I love you,
Everybody's hand in hand
Swingin' down the lane
Everybody's feelin' grand
Swingin' down the lane
That's the time I miss the bliss
That we might have known
Nights like this
When I'm all alone
When the moon is on the rise
Baby I'm so blue
Watchin' lovers makin' eyes
Like we used to do
When the moon is on the way
Still I'm waitin' all in vain
Should be swingin' down the lane
Each time I see a crowd of people
Just like a fool I stop and stare
It's really not the proper thing to do
But maybe you'll be there
I go out walking after midnight
Along the lonely thoroughfare
It's not the time or place
To look for you
But maybe you'll be there
You said your arms would always hold me
You said you lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How can it end like this
Someday if all my prayers are answered
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart
I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll
The music stopped
But we were still dancing
Which goes to show
That music has charm
The lights were low
So we kept on dancing
I fealt the glow
Of you in my arms
(bridge)
The band had left the stand
And we were in heaven
Dancing on a cloud
Way off in the blue
The music stopped
And people were glancing
But we went on dancing
For we didn’t know
Because the lights were low
And we were in love
Hello young lovers who ever you are
I hope your troubles are few
All my good wishes go with you tonight
I've been in love like you
Be brave young lovers and follow your star
Be brave and faithful and true
Cling very close to each other tonight
I've been in love like you
I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
And fly down the street in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
And you meet not really by chance
Don't cry young lovers what ever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my memories are happy tonight
I've had a love of my own
I've had a love of my own like yours
You're breaking my heart all over again.
Oh why did we start all over again?
It's too late now to wish I had never met you.
I've loved you much too much to just forget you.
If we ever part all over again,
Will I fall in love, no never again!
You said you'd love me, you made a vow,
Look what you're doing now,
You're lonely and I'm lonely,
So why can't we be lonely together?
The night is young and while it grows older
We can't forget crying on each other's shoulder.
The sky's cloudy 'cause we're lonely,
But soon we'll see a change in the weather,
Two lonely hearts beating as one,
Dear, fates will hold no sweeter smile for me
Were you not mine, how dark the world would be
I know no light above that could replace
Love's radiant sunshine in your dear face.
Give me your smile, the love light in your eyes,
I could not hold a fairer paradise
Give me the right to love you all the while,
My world forever, the sunshine of your smile
Tell me at midnight before the moon starts fading
Tell me at midnight, why go on masquerading.
The sky is so full of stars, and I can hear soft guitars,
The still of the night is clear, the thrill of my life is near,
Kiss me at midnight, let us love now or never,
You better get up and do it now, you better get up, my friend, and how,
The land that you love the best, is asking you to invest,
With a personal request from Mr. Morgenthau.
Dig down deep, to buy the bonds that buy the tanks,
Palmers for our fighting Yanks, dig down deep.
Dig down deep to buy the bonds that keep us free, supply the sky, the land and sea,
Dig down deep. put your hand on your gismo, citizen, everybody must do his part,
It's the easiest piece that the citizen to show the world we finish what we start,
Dig down deep, the boys are giving all for you, so the least that you can do,
By a country road wild roses grow that need my special care,
So I haven't time to be a millionaire.
And a cheerful brook on a mountain side, is sad when I'm not there,
So I haven't time to be a millionaire.
And a friendly gang of robins are peeved when I forget,
That I'm the second tenor in their quartet.
So with all the things I have to do, I'm very much aware
If I wished for wealth it wouldn't be quite fair
If your're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod
If you like the taste of a lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod
Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of trees beneath the skies of blue
Church bell chiming on a Sunday morn
remind you of a town where you were born
If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cap Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod
On a clear day,
Rise and look around you,
And you’ll see who you are.
On a clear day,
How it will astound you
That the glow of your feelings outshines every star.
You will follow every mountain,
Sea and shore,
You will see from far and near a world you’ve never seen before.
On a clear day,
On a clear day,
You can see forever,
And ever, and ever more.
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boundless arch I see
Spread out above me
O(h) what a distance drear to one
Who loves me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far
From joy and gladness
My senses fail
A burning fire
Devours me
None but the lonely heart
When they met, the way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon
What did you do
And when they kissed, they tried to say
That it was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon
Look what you've done
Once you promised me, you know
That it would never end
You should be ashamed to show
Your funny face my friend
(And) There they are, they fell in love
I guess you think that you're smart
Oh, you crazy moon
I knew the time had to come
When I'd be held under your thumb
I'm like a pawn in your hand
Moved and compelled, at your command
Whether it's for bad or for good
I would never change it if I could
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak, maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Maybe I'll win, maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for cryin' the blues
But nevertheless I'm in love with you
Somehow, I know at a glance, the terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start, then left with a heart that is breaking
Maybe I'll live a life of regret, and maybe I'll give much more than I get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you
In spite of all I could do
I went ahead falling for you
So if I laugh or I cry
I made my bed, that's where I'll lie
For what happens there's no excuse
Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york
I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill - top of the heap
These little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you - new york, new york
New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find I’m a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one
These little town blues, are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere
It up to you - new york new york
New york
The very thought of you makes
My heart sing
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love
The shadows fall
And spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night
While you’re in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love
The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I’ve never known
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I’ve never known
The blush on your cheek
Whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with
Such desire
Every kiss you give
Sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Gee, what a thrill each time I kiss her
Believe me, I've got a case
On Nancy, with the laughin' face
She takes the winter and she makes it summer
And summer could take a few lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughin' face
Did you ever hear mission bells ringing?
Well, she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say 'hello'
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her
Sorry for you, she has no sister
No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughin' face
Day by day I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper dear by far than any ocean
I find that day by day you're making all my dreams come true
And (So) come what may I want you to know
I'm (That I am) yours alone, and I'm in love (in love) to stay
As we go through the years day by day
(I said, "Day by day")
I live alone, that hasn't always been easy to do for just a single man
Sometimes it's nice the walls talk back to me,
They seem to say, wasn't yesterday a better day?
Always alone, at home or in a crowd,
A single man off on his private cloud,
'Cause in a world that few men understand,
I am what I am, the single man.
Once was a time, I can't remember when,
The house was filled with love, but then again,
It might have been imagination's plan
Time, there was a time you could talk to me without speaking,
You would look at me, and I'd know all there is to know.
Days I think of you, and remember the lies we told in the night,
The love we knew, the things we shared, when our hearts were fitting together.
Days that were so few, full of love and you.
Gone,. the days are gone now, days that seem so wrong now.
Life won't be the same without you, to hold again in my arms,
To ease the pain and remember when our love was the reason for living.
(instrumental)
Days that were so few, full of love and you.
There's nothing left for me
Of days that used to be
I live in memory
Among my souvenirs
Some letters sad and blue
A photograph or two
I see a rose from you
Among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To give me consolation,
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
Among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest
Within my treasure chest
And, though they do their best
To give me consolation,
I count them all apart
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart
As you desire me, so shall I come to you,
Howe'er you wander, so shall I be,
Be it forever, or be it just a day,
As you desire me, come what may.
I doubt not but you will do what you will with me,
I give my life to you 'cause you're my destiny.
And now, come take me, my soul is yours.
As you desire me, I come to you.
And now, come take me, my very soul is yours,
Gone and got the blues in Paris,
Paris blues called Azure-Te,
How can I be blue in Paris?
Easy 'cause you're far away.
Can't lose these blues, this Azure-Te.
Side-walk tables filled with people,
Always happy, always gay,
Still I'm all alone in Paris,
Praying you'll return someday,
Can't lose this blues, this Azure-Te
Montmarte, springtime, Eiffel Tower,
Funny taxis, the kids at play,
Paris without you is lonesome,
Yearning more and more each day,
Can't lose these blues, this Azure-Te,
If you knew how much I need you,
You'd come back to me to stay,
Having you with me in Paris,
Really is the only way,
You'd lose these blues, this Azure-Te

That certain night, the night we metThere was magic abroad in the airThere were angels dining at the ritzAnd a nightingale sang in Berkley SquareI may be right, I may be wrong,But I'm perfectly willing to swear,That when you turned and smiled at me,A nightingale sang in Berkley Square.[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/a-nightingale-sang-in-berkley-square-lyrics-frank-sinatra.html ]The moon that lingered over London town,Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frownHow could he know we two were so in love,The whole darn world seemed upside down.The streets of town were paved with stars,It was such a romantic affair.And as we kissed and said goodnight,A nightingale sang in Berkley Square.
And here's one of the nation's top tunes
As a matter of fact, it's number one in your hit parade
The nation's big hit coming in on 'A Wing And A Prayer'
Coming in on a wing and a prayer
(Coming in on a wing and a prayer)
Coming in on a wing and a prayer
(Coming in a plane)
Though there's one who is gone, we still carry on
We're coming in on a wing and a prayer
(A wing and a prayer).
Watta show, what a fight
(Watta show, watta fight)
Yup, we really hit our target for tonight
(Hit our target tonight)
How we sing as we lift through the air
(We lift while we are singing)
Look below, there's our field over there
(Over there)
With a full throttle on and our struts in a storm
Adeste fideles,

Venite, venite in Bethlehem!

Every day, along about evening
When the sunlight's beginning to pale
I ride through the slumbering shadows
Along the Navajo trail
When it's night and crickets are callin'
And coyotes are makin' a wail
I dream by a smoldering fire
Along the Navajo trail
I love to lie and listen to the music
When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
It always finds me wishin' on a star
Well whatta, ya know, it's mornin' already
There's the dawnin', so silver and pale
It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo trail
I love to lie and listen to the music
When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar
When over yonder hill the moon is climbin'
It always finds me wishin' on a star
Well whatta, ya know, it's mornin' already
There's the dawnin', so silver and pale
(Like a silvery veil)
It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo trail
Ride the Navajo trail

Hey don't save your kisses - just pass 'em around
You'll find my reason - is logically sound
Who's gonna know that you past them around
A hundred years from today
And why crave a penthouse - that's fit for a queen
You're nearer heaven - on mamma Earth's green
If you had millions - what would they all mean
One hundred years from today
So (Hey) laugh and sing - make love the thing
Be happy while you may
('Cause) There's always one - beneath the sun
Who's bound to make you feel that way
The moon is shining - and that's a (very) good sign
Cling to me closer - say (that) you'll be mine
Remember baby we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today
Long night, it's a long night, my friend
The barrooms and the back street's dead end
Sometimes I thought I saw the sunrise and good times in the air
It was just, it was just another big town with midnight's neon glare
Long night, it's a long night, I know
The bus rides and the "nowhere to go"
I've seen what the street corners do to things like love and dreams
Seen what the bottle can do to a man with his hopes and his schemes
A long night, what a long night it has been
The wheelers and the dealers, they win
I've tasted the 90-proof gin and chased it away with the blues
I rarely paid debts that I owed but I sure have paid my dues
Brazil - Frank Sinatra
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
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
instrumental
Then, tomorrow was another day
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 that I'm certain of
Return I will to old brazil
That old brazil
Man, it's old in brazil
Lovers depend on moonlight for a love affair
Babies depend on mothers for their tender care
Flowers depend on sunshine, and the morning dew
Each thing depends on something, and I depend on you
I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good, I can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, I can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money, or spend it
Go roght on living, or end it
You're to blama, baby, for what I do
I know that I can be beggar, I can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you
Isn't it sweet to know, dear, you can help me on?
Wouldn't it hurt, to know, dear, all my hopes were gone?
Wouldn't it make you proud, dear, if I made a name?
The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before
The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you
(The lonely night discloses) just a passing breeze filled with memories
Of the golden that introduced me to
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
(they all disappear from view)
And I only have eyes
It's over, it's over, it's over, I won't look back,
Won't look back, my bridge has been crossed.
It's over, it's over, it's over, I'll walk away,
I'll stay away, cause my heart's been lost.
Losing is not a happy thing when the stakes are high,
Not when you lose your lover on a simple goodbye.
It's over, it's over, It's over, I can't look back,
Won't look back, my heart says it's done.
It's over, it's over, it's over, but when I see her
And when I'm near her, I feel like it just began.
Losing is not a happy thing when the stakes are high,
Not when you lose your lover on a simple goodbye.
It's over, it's over, it's over, I can't look back,
Won't look back, my heart says it's done.
It's over, it's over, it's over, but when I see her
And when I'm near her, I feel like it just began.
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so exciting (inviting)
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Shimmering clouds - glimmering crowds (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 a (the) promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
(They) All sigh for exotic lands
(But) It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
(But) It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
Around the world I've searched for you
I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous
I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You'd look at me and I would see the smile you're smiling now
It might have been in County Down
Or in New York, in gay Paree , or even London town
No more will I go all around the world
For I have found my world in you
It might have been in County Down
Or in New York, in gay Paree , or even London town
No more will I go all around the world
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is
That's how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way
All the way
So if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way
Night and you and blue Hawaii
The night is heavenly and you are heaven to me
Lovely you and blue Hawaii
With all this loveliness, there should be love
Come with me while the moon is on the sea
The night is young and so are we
Dreams come true in blue Hawaii
And mine could all come true
It's just the same old song and dance, the same old song and dance,
Turns out you never cared at all, turns out you bound me like a ball,
Whoever thought I'd fall for the same old song and dance,
It's just the same old smooth routine, the same old moonlit scene,
Turns out you only used those eyes simply to tell me all those lies,
I really went king-size for the same old song and dance.
Me with a built-in radar, me with a cushion hard,
Winding up number one on the all-time loser's card.
I should forget you but I won't, should hate you but I don't,
It didn't turn out like I planned but if you smile and wave your hand,
I'd go out and hire a band, and wait for one more chance,
At the same old song and dance.
(instrumental)
It didn't turn out just like I planned,
But if you smile and wave your lily white hand,
I'd go out and hire a band, then wait for one more chance,

I hear music when I look at you;
A beautiful theme of ev'ry
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when I touch your hand;
A beautiful melody
>From some enchanted land.
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true -
The song is you.
I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise
I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace
Till April in Paris
Whom can I run to
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"
Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Too close, much too close

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule
A mule is an animal with long funny ears
He kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny - and his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a - stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He ain't got no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy - and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
He cant write his name or read a book
And to fool the people is his only thought
Though he slippery - he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star
It's something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra-new
It's very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance
You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, ooh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and so sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with her and she's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin'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 gotta be kissed
So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store?
>From their vast mysterious sky?
I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that 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 just as sure as we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Fight fight fight it with all of your might
Chances are that some heavenly star-spangled night
We'll find out just as sure as we live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Someday, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.
Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.
With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.
Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
it touches my foolish heart.
Lovely... don't you ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you...and Just the way you look tonight
Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.
Sue wants a barbecue, Sam wants to boil a ham,
Grace votes for bouillabaisse too
Jake wants a weinie bake, steak and the layer cake,
And he'll get a tummy ache too.
We'll rent a tent or a teepee, let the town crier cry.
And if it's on a ditty, this is what I'll reply.
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, tell 'em I'll be there,
In the cool, cool, cool of the evening, better save a chair.
Oh, when the party's a-getting a glow on, and singing fills the air,
In the shank of the night when the doing's all right,
You can tell 'em I'll be there.
(musical interlude)
Oh when the party's a-getting a glow on, and the singing fills the air,
In the shank of the night when the doing's all right,
You can tell them I'll be there.
In the shank of the night when the doing's all right,
Love is a many-splendored thing,
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring,
Love is nature's way of giving a reason to be living,
The golden crown that makes a man a king.
Once on a high and windy hill,
In the morning mist two lovers kissed and the world stood still,
Then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing,
Moon River wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh dream maker, you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend, Moon River
once I had a secret love
that lived within the heart of me
all too soon my secret love
became impatient to be free
so I told a friendly star
the way that dreamers often do
just how wonderful you are
and why I'm so in love with you
now I shout it from the highest hill
even told the golden daffodils
at last my heart's an open door
and my secret love's no secret anymore
now I shout it from the highest hill
even told the golden daffodils
at last my heart's an open door
and my secret love's no secret
my secret love's no secret
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
If a picture paints a thousands words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words would never show
The you I've come to know
If a ship is launched a thousands times
Then where am I to go?
There's no one here but you
You're all that's left me too
And when, when my love for life is running dry
You come and you pour, pour yourself on me
If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving
Slowly spinning down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one those stars would all go out

I have heard among this clan
You are called a forgotten man

MIKE and DEXTER:

MIKE:
That's what I was gonna say!
DEXTER:
You know you're a brilliant fellow?
MIKE:
Thank you
DEXTER:
Drink up, chap.
Ah, please don't eat that glass, my friend.
Have you heard about dear Blanche?
Got run down by an avalanche.
MIKE:
DEXTER:

She's a game girl, you know.
Got up and finished fourth.
MIKE:

DEXTER:
Havin' a nice time?

It's in the stars
Next July, we collide with Mars.
Well, did you evah?
No one ever tells you what's like to love and lose,
How it feels to waken and have breakfast with the blues,
How to go on living, how to face another day,
No one ever tells you the way.
No one ever tells you how it feels to walk alone,
Listening for those footsteps through the echo of your own.
Suddenly it hits you all those dreams WEREN'T worth a dime,
Cause no one ever tells you in time.
Long before the icy winds of winter,
Autumn tells the swallows, time to fly,
Why did she pretend till the bitter end
Till it broke my heart to say goodbye.
No one ever tells you that it's just another fling
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to SING
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
(instrumental)
No one ever tells you that it's just another fling,
No one ever warns you when your heart begins to sting
Someone tells you later all is fair in love and war,
But no one ever tells you before.
What's new?
How is the world treating you?
You haven't changed a bit
Lovely as ever, I must admit
What's new?
How did that romance come through?
We haven't met since then
Gee, but it's nice to see you again
What's new?
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand
I understand. Adieu!
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
Strangers in the night exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances we'd be sharing love
Before the night was through
Something in your eyes was so inviting
Something in your smile was so exciting
Something in my heart told me I must have you
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
And ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
Love was just a glance away
A warm embracing dance away
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
I laughed at sweethearts
I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts
Seemed romantic fools
A house in Iceland
Was my heart's domain
I saw your eyes
Now castles rise in Spain!
I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still
Through all my school days
I hated boys
Those April Fool days
Brought me loveless joys
I read my Plato
Love, I thought a sin
But since your kiss
Maybe this time
I will be lucky
Maybe this time
she is gona stay
Maybe this time
for the first time
love won't wander away
She is gona holdme fast
and I will be home atlast
Not a loser
anymore
alike the last time
and the time before
Everybody
loves a winner
but nobody loved me
Mr. Peaceful, Mr. Happy
that's what I want to be
All the odds are
in my favor
something's bound to begin
It's got to happen
happen sometime
Maybe this time, I...I'll win
Everybody
loves a winner
but nobody loves me
Mr. Peaceful, Mr. Happy
that's what I want to be
All the odds are
in my favor
somethings bound to begin
It's got to happen
happen sometime
Maybe this time,
Maybe this time,
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing - I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling - why be shy
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have 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
The moon was yellow, and the night was young.
A smile brought us together, and I was wond'ring whether
We'd meet again someday.
The moon was yellow, and a song was sung.
That vocal inspiration gave me the inclination
To give my heart away.
Here we are! Is our romance to continue?
Will it be my luck to win you.
May I look that far? Ah! My love is
Ah, my love is yellow and the night is young.
Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless
Three hearts in a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a Valentine
We've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common
My darling, at all
I love the opera, I detest the best pop
Can't stand the opera, I like music that bops
We're not fated, not heaven-created
We're really mis-mated, our chances are small
Let's part, be real smart and not start with this romance
'cause outside of both having stars in our eyes
And outside of sighing the same kind of sighs
We've got nothin' in common at all
We've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common
It never could last
I love Picasso, he's all style and he's all flair
I've seen Picasso and I think he's a square
Our two goals are apart as the poles are
As lovers our roles are completely miscast
Let's make a clean break and not take any chances
'cause outside of thinking you're something divine
And outside of wanting your lips close to mine
We've got nothin' in common
We've got nothin' in common at all
Dressed in dreams for me
You were what I wished to see
Elizabeth, Elizabeth
Love was very new
Make believe was coming true
Elizabeth, Elizabeth
You were all much too much
Out of reach and out of touch
When you came to me
I found it could never be
Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth
So a dream has to end
When it's real
Not pretend
Dressed in memories
You are what you used to be
Elizabeth, Elizabeth
Your love is rain
My heart the flower
I need your love or I will die
My very life is in your power
Will I wither and fade or bloom to the sky
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
The rain can fall
On distant deserts
The rain can fall upon the sea
The rain can fall upon the flower
Since the rain has to fall let it fall on me
Aqua de Beber
Give the flower water to drink
Aqua de Beber
Lost in day to day
Turn another way
With a laugh
A kind hello
Some small talk
With those I know
I forget
That I'm not over you
For a while
A wave an easy grin
A smile to put them in
With other lives
To listen to
And some work
I've got to do
I forget
That I'm not over you
For a while
Days go by
With no empty feeling
Until I
Remember you're gone
People say to me
You need company
When you have
Some time to spend
Drop around
And meet a friend
They forget
That I'm not over you
For a while
They forget
That I'm not over you
Farewell, farewell to love,
she's gone and I'm through with love.
My schemes, my dreams of heaven are gone since she went away.
Her lips, her eyes,
her touch are the things that I'll miss so much.
Her style, her smile so thrilling,
are joys of a sweeter day.
Sun is shining so lovely,
days as bright as can be,
Sun keeps shining so lovely,
but that sun ain't shining for me.
So farewell, farewell to love,
she's gone, there's no sun above.
I've news of blues that got me,
I've lost, that's the cost of love.
(musical interlude)
Farewell, farewell to love,

My schemes, my dreams of heaven are gone since she went away.
Sun is shining so lovely,

but that sun ain't shining for me.
So farewell, farewell to love,

I've got news of blues that got me,
I'm oh so sad, I feel so bad.
Fairy tale, my favorite fairy tale,
Is the one I live with wonderful you,
Life is so grand, a fabulous fairyland,
And we walk it hand in hand as lovers do,
Fantasy became a reality,
With your tender kiss you open the door,
You are marvelous, divine,
Aladdin's lamp did shine,
The magic days that you were mine,
Fairy tale, our love is a fairy tale,
Emily, Emily, Emily
Has the murmuring sound of May
All silver bells, coral shells, carousels
And the laughter of children at play
Say Emily, Emily, Emily
And we fade to a marvelous view
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily
(And we fade to a marvelous view)
Two lovers alone and out of sight
Seeing images in the firelight
As my eyes visualize a family
They see Emily, Emily
From this moment on
You for me, dear
Only two for tea, dear
From this moment on
From this happy day
No more blue songs
Only hoop-dee-doo songs
From this moment on
For you've got the love I need so much
You've got the skin that I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got those sweet lips to kiss me goodnight
From this moment on
You and I, babe
We'll be ridin' high, babe
Every care is gone
From this moment on
From this moment on
You for me, dear
Only two for tea, dear
From this moment on
From, from this happy day
No more blue songs
Only hoop-dee-doo songs
From this moment on
For you've got the love that I need so much
Yeah, you've got the kind of skin that I love to touch
And you've got the arms that can hold me tight
You've got those lovely lips just to kiss me goodnight
From this moment on
You and I, babe
We'll be ridin' high, babe
Every one of our cares are gone
From this moment
From this very moment
If you turn me down once more, I'll join the French Foreign Legion
Bet you, they would welcome me with open arms
First you love me, yes, then you love me, no
I don't know where I stand
Do we march together down the isle
Or do I march that desert sand?
If you think I won't find romance in the French Foreign Legion
Think about that uniform with all its charm
Just one more time, are you gonna be mine or au revoir cheri
It's the French Foreign Legion for me
Now, if you think I won't find romance in the French Foreign Legion
Think about that uniform with all its charm
Just one more time, are you gonna be mine or au revoir cheri
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow for
Tomorrow never comes!
Domani -- forget domani,
Let's live for now and anyhow
Who needs domani?
The moonlight -- let's share the moonlight,
Perhaps together we will never be again.
Ah, che luna -- oh, che mare
With such a moon and such a sea,
And you and me.
I get so dizzy when you're standing near
It's not the music that you hear,
My heart is beating like a jungle drum.
Let's take the minutes as they speed away
And hope it's true what people say:
When you're in love to-morrow never comes.
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow for
Tomorrow never comes!
Domani -- mahrone, domani!
With such a moon and such a sea,
And you and me.
Let's take the minutes as they speed away
And hope it's true what people say:
When you're in love tomorrow never comes.
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow,
Let's forget about tomorrow for
Tomorrow never never comes!
Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on a-turnin'
Let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning
{Lay your head upon my pillow}
{Hold your warm and tender body close to mine}
Hear the whisper of the raindrops flowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness when you leave me
{Lay your head upon my pillow}
{Hold your warm and tender body close to mine}
Hear the whisper of the raindrops flowing soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times
(For the good times)
Like a fish gets caught on a hook, you'll go for a line, get hit with the book,
Like cop puts cuff on a crook, baby, you'll get yours.
Like a clown falls down from a slap, you'll fall for sweet talk and know you're a sap
Like a bear walks right in a trap, baby, you'll get yours.
Like Eve who tricked old Adam, had to pay the cost,
A great Voice boomed and said, Madam, get lost,
Like a spider spins a web, and waits for a fly,
You'll fall for it, pimp some hard hearted guy
When he walks out with slim goodbye,
Watch those swinging doors, cause you'll get yours.
Just like Eve who tricked old Adam, she had to pay the cost,
A great Voice boomed and said, Madam, get lost.
Like a spider spins a web, and waits for a fly,
You'll fall for it, pimp, some hard hearted guy.
When he walks out with slim goodbye,
The moment has come, I hear a drum
Or is it my heart dear, beating this way
There's work to be done, done with a gun
There goes the bugle, I hear it say
It's the last call for love, time to say Fare thee well
Let the taps tell you all that my heart dare not tell
With your eyes in the stars of Old Glory
Can I help but be faithful to you
Till we meet on the day we're dreaming of
It's the last call for love
(repeat this chorus)
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low-down
I gotta right to hang around
Down around the river
A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor (old) heart around
All I see, for me is - misery
I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to sit and cry
Down around the river
I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love - say what you choose
Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest, all I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes high
Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm,
Now all I need's the girl to go with'em
If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl
And if she'll say "My, darling, I'm yours"
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
All I really need is the girl
Got my tweed pressed, I got my best vest, all I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes `way up high
I got the time and the place and the rhythm
All I need's the girl to go with'em
Mm, if she'll just appear we'll take this, this great big town for a whirl
And if, if she'll say "My, darlin', I'm yours"
I'll throw away my striped tie and my best-pressed tweed
A thorough knowledge I've got about girls
I've been around
And after learning a lot about girls
This is the important fact I found
I've no proof when people say
I'm more or less aloof
But you're sensational
I don't care if you are called,
"The Fair Miss Frigidaire"
'Cause you're sensational
Making love is quite an art
What you require
Is the proper squire
To fire your heart
And if you say
That one fine day
You'll let me come to call
We'll have a ball
'Cause you're sensational, sensational
Everybody knows you're stepping on my toes
And stepping on my heart-strings too,
With an idle kiss, you grabbed a moment's bliss,
That left me with a heart that's true.
How was I to know I did not stand a show
The day I fell in love with you.
You made me believe that I was your one need
And then you said that we were through.
Love was a grand sensation,
Until I later found that it was imitation
Of love that let me down.
Everybody knows your every action shows
That love is just a game to you.
But that's how love goes, you're stepping on my toes,
I like the sunrise 'cause it brings a new day,
I like a new day, it brings new hope, they say.
I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky,
Night time is weary, oh and so am I.
Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far.
When that heavy blue curtain of night is raised up high,
Out of sight, I like the sunrise, oh heavenly day,
I like the sunrise, I hope it lights for me
(Full musical interlude)
Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far.
When that heavy blue curtain of night is raised up high,
Way out of sight, I like the sunrise, so heavenly to see,
I like the sunrise, I hope it likes poor me.
Move over, sun, and give me some sky
I got me some wings I'm eager to try
I may be unknown but wait till I've flown
You're gonna hear from me
Make me some room, you people up there
On top of the world, I'll meet you, I swear
I'm stakin' my claim, so remember my name
You're gonna hear from me
BRIDGE:
Fortune, smile on the road before me
I am fortune's child
Listen, world, you can't ignore me
I've got a song that longs to be played
Raise up my flag, begin my parade
Then watch the world over start comin' up clover
That's how it's gonna be
I've got a song that longs to be played
Raise up my flag, begin my parade
Then watch the world over start comin' up clover
That's how it's gonna be, watch me
You're gonna hear,
I've been to town, I've walked the highways and in the suburbs too.
I've done somethings I never thought I'd ever do.
Now as I stand here looking down at you, you ask me why it is I frown.
I guess it's 'cause I've been to town.
I've been to town beyond the boulevard and down the beach,
I've learned some things that only time can teach,
For instance, love is more than just a speech,
It's got to find a common ground,
I know 'cause I've been to town.
Don't tell me any more lies, I can't waste any more years,
I've seen my image in your eyes,
Dissolve in disappointed tears.
I've been to town, you ask me do I know the Milky Way,
I do, and furthermore I'd like to say
It isn't milky white, it's dingy gray,
Especially when your world breaks down,
I'm confessin' that I love you, tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you, honest I do, need you every moment.
In your eyes I read such strange things, but your lips deny they're true,
Will your answer really change things, making me blue?
I'm afraid some day you'll leave me, saying "Can't we still be friends?"
If you go, you know you'll grieve me, all in life on you depends.
Am I guessing that you love me, dreaming dreams of you in vain?
I've had this feeling before but never like this
Love had me reeling before but never like this
Who ever dreamed this could happen
To someone supposed to be smart
I must have really been napping
To let you walked off with my heart
My dreams, and I had quite a few, were never like this
This is too good to be true, but so was that kiss
I know by the way my heart leaps
That this time I'm playing for keeps
Yes, I've had this feeling before
(chorus only)
I've got a home in that Rock, don't you see? (don't you see?)
I've got a home in that Rock, don't you see? (don't you see?)
Rich man Davies lived so well, don't you see? (don't you see?)
Oooh, Winchester Cathedral, you're bringin' me down
You stood and you watched as my baby left town
You coulda done somethin', hey, you didn't try
You didn't do nothin', you just let her walk by
Now everyone knows just how much I needed that girl
She wouldn't have gone far away if only you'd started ringin' your bell
Winchester Cathedral, you're bringin' me down
You stood and you watched as my baby left town
Hey, Winchester Cathedral, you are bringin' me down
You stood and you watched as, you watched her go by, my baby left town
You coulda done somethin', but you didn't even try
You didn't do nothin', you didn't ding-dong, you let her get by
Now everyone knows just how much I needed that girl
She wouldn't have gone far away, if only you'd started ringin' your bell
Now, Winchester Cathedral, man, you've brought me down
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 the winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No man but you can do the job
When you're in town"
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we made
Walking in the winter wonderland
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed
And my cheeks ain't tanned
I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow
Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how
And I sure ain't fixin' to start in now
Yippie yi yo ki yay
Yippie yi yo ki yay
I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande
And I learned to ride
'Fore I learned to stand
I'm a ridin' fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V8
Yippie yi yo ki yay
Yippie yi yo ki yay
I know all the songs that the cowboys know
'Bout the big corral where the dogies go
'Cause I learned them all on the rad-ee-o
Hey, Yippie yi yo ki yay
I'll get by,as long as I have you
Though there be rain and darkness too,
I'll not complain, I'll see it through
Poverty, may come to me , that's true
But what care I, say
[Speaks:]
Empty is the sky before the sun wakes up.
Empty is the eyes of animals in cages.
Empty, faces of women mourning
When everything's been taken from them.
Me, don't ask me about empty.
[Sings:]
Empty is a string of dirty days
Held together by some rain.
And the cold winds drumming at the trees again.
Empty is the color of the fear
Long about September when the days
Go marching in a line toward November.
Empty is the hour before sleep chills you every night
And pushes you to take me away from every kind of light.
Empty is me.
It's like singin' to empty tables
Or a gallery full of ghosts
Or like givin' a great big party
Where nobody shows but the host
That's what it's been like, baby
That's what it's been like all night
Without you around to applaud me
Every night's just like closing night
And I'm singin', singin' the same old numbers
`n' I'm tellin' the same sad jokes
And there's nothin' out front but mem'ries
And lot of transparent folks
So, please call, call and make a reservation
In our favorite spot for two
`cause I'm singin' to empty tables without you
Without you
Without you
Every man should marry, every girl should wed,
You will find no truer words ever have been said.
Every man is sentimental, he's just a dreamer at heart,
He needs someone soft and gentle to give his dream a start.
I don't know how to tell you, don't know what to say,
Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Yes, I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Every man should marry, won't you marry me?
Don't know how to tell you, I don't know what to say,
Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Guess I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Everybody has the right to be wrong, at least once
Everybody has the right to be dunce-like, once-like
Not being too smart is, is no disgrace
What sets you apart is smilin' with egg on your face
It's naive to make believe that you're right, it's not bright
Only fools go walking on thin ice, twice
You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along
All it takes is simply saying, you're wrong when you're wrong
And everybody has the right to be wrong
You and life can skip the strife and you'll both get along
All it takes is simply sayin', you're wrong when you're wrong
And everybody has the right to be
It can be a real delight to be
Empty rooms behind me, no more nights alone,
A table and some chairs for two,
Now the world will find me with someone of my own,
The loneliness at last, is through,
If everyone had someone just like you,
Then everyone would feel the way I do,
Imagine having someone always by your side.
A bed for one can just be so cold.
Someone you can talk to when your hands are tied,
Someone there to have and hold.
There's nothing more rewarding to produce (when you're in love and you hear)
(I love you)
(Somebody to love)
There's nothing more rewarding to produce (when you're in love and you hear)
(I love you)
There's nothing more rewarding to produce (when you're in love and you hear)
Weeell,. they have to have something new,
A dance to do for recreation so someone started twistin',
A cat who was really hep, puts down a step
To new gyration soon, all the kids were twistin',
It didn't take long before the grown-ups were trying it,
Who's who was buying it all over town,
You see them, a-squirming and a-worming and a-twistin' around,
It spread like a fire, its place became a craze
That rocks the nation now, everybody's twistin'.
[musical interlude]
Well oh well oh well oh well, they had to have something new,
A dance to do for recreation so someone started twistin',
And a cat who was really hep, he puts down a step
To new gyration soon, all the kids were twistin',
No, it didn't take long before the grown-ups were trying it,
Who's who was buying it all over town,
You see them, a-squirming and a-worming and a-twisting around
It spread like a fire, its place became a craze
That rocks the nation now, everybody's twistin'.
Here's a-hopping, and a stopping, and a poppin',
Writer(s): Rodgers/Hart
She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp
She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp
Look at me
I'm an 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
on it might be the sound of your hello
that music I hear
I get misty
the moment you're near
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 wonder 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
You can say...
On my own...
I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I'm a new man better than Casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest
So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
I'm not the guy who cared about love
And I'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
And I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I'm a new man better than Casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud I'm bustin' my vest
So I'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet, you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentines day
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay!
You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
It's quarter to three,
There's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em' up Joe
I got a little story I othou 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 know the routine
so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad
Wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
could tell you a lot,
but you've got to be true to your code
So 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 lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me
Till it's all talked away
Well, that's how it goes
And Joe I know you're gettin' pretty anxious to close
So Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
this torch that I've found
must be drowned
Or it's soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long.. long road
It was winter in Manhattan, falling snow flakes filled the air,
The streets were covered with a film of ice,
But a little simple magic that I learned about somewhere,
Changed the weather all around, just within a thrice.
I bought you violets for your furs and it was spring for a while, remember?
I bought you violets for your furs and there was April in that December.
The snow drifted down ON the flowers, and MELTED where it lay.
The snow looked like dew ON the blossoms as on a summer day. (SUMMER'S ?)
I bought you violets for your furs and there was blue in the wintry sky,
You pinned my violets to your furs and gave a lift to the crowds passing by,
You smiled at me so sweetly, since then one thought occurs,
There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No no they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No no they can't take that away from me
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across a 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
2nd time around.....
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I wanna go and play hide-and-seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across a 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, wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you, you make me feel so young
...You make me feel so young
...You make me feel so young
The dream I'm building is Early American,
Something that won't go out of style,
It makes you feel that life's worth living,
The way they must have felt that first Thanksgiving.
You sure get sold on this Early American,
After you've looked around a while,
So I'm building a dream for someone who
Like Early Americans do.
The dream I'm building is Early American,
Something that won't go out of style,
It makes you feel that life's worth living,
The way they must have felt that first Thanksgiving.
You sure get sold on this Early American,
After you've looked around a while,
So I'm building a dream for someone who
By calling me all those names.
I'll admit you got really next to me somehow.
I wish that I'd get the best of you,
The way that you did my heart,
But I've got no encouragement from the start.
It depends on what you consider the best,
When you get the best of me.
But when you get through taking over the best,
You can have the rest of me.
Now I consider the best of me
The love that I always give,
If you thought that you got the best of me,
Verse:
It's not that you're fairer
Than a lot of girls just as pleasin'
That I doff my hat
As a worshipper at your shrine
It's not that you're rarer
Than asparagus out of season
No, my darling, this is the reason
Why you've got to be mine
Chorus:
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 burning above
You'd be so nice
CHORUS:
You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
That's Why I'll Always Stay Around
You Are The Apple Of My Eye
Forever You'll Stay In My Heart
I Feel Like This Is The Beginning
Though I've Loved You For A Million Years
And If I Thought Our Love Was Ending
I'd Find Myself Drowning In My Own Tears
CHORUS
You Must Have Known That I Was Lonely
Because You Came To My Rescue
And I Know That This Must Be Heaven
How Could So Much Love Be Inside Of You
CHORUS
CHORUS
Love was like a song
A lovely melody
Our hearts would sing along
In perfect harmony
But you forgot all the words
While I still remember the tune
Each time our lips would cling
I heard a serenade
Of love and youth and spring
Forever to be played
But you forgot all the words
While I still remember the tune
We used to dance
Instead of walk
We used to sing
Instead of talk
Why was our love song
That used to be
Only the start of the blues for me
But songs are funny things
They never really die
And so my hope still clings
That someday you will try
To just remember the words
For I still remember the tune
When lonely lights are lit
And midnight songs will start
Our song I must admit
Still fills my hopeful heart
So please remember the words
For I still remember the tune
You and me, we wanted it all we wanted it all
Passion without pain, sunshine without rainy days
We wanted it always
You and me, we reached for the sky, the limit was high
Never giving in, certain we could win that prize
I should have seen it in your eyes
Look how all our dreams came true
See how I've got me and, baby, you've got you
Through it all, just one thing died
A little thing called love, something deep inside
You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best
Back when we were dumb, how did we become so smart
And learn to break each other's heart?
Look how all our dreams came true
See how I've got me, baby, you've got you
Through it all, just one thing died
A little thing called love, something deep inside
You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best
But look what we became, isn't it a cryin' shame
That we almost made it?
But we wanted it all
Baby, you and me
We wanted it all
You are there, in autumn gold or summer green,
You are there, to lend enchantment to the scene.
I hear music, and all because You Are There.
In a mist, behind a window in the dawn,
we have kissed, but when I reached for you, you'd gone...
You come and you go, like April snow,
Until I wonder, darling,
Are you real, or an illusion I embrace
Half a dream, the other half that laughing face
Although, in my heart, I know that
You are there
You are there
You'll shout when it hits you - yes indeed!
Yes you'll shout when it hits you - yes indeed!
When the spirit moves you, you'll shout: "hallelujah!"
Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes sir, that's my baby now
Yes, ma'm, we've decided
No ma'm, we won't hide it
Yes, ma'm, you're invited now
By the way, by the way
When we meet the preacher I'll say
Yes sir, that's my baby
No sir, I don't mean maybe
When all the songs are out of tune,
And all the rhymes ring so untrue;
When I don't find the words to say -
The thoughts I long to bring to you;
When I hear lonely singers
Who are just as lost as me -
Making noise, not melody:
You will be my music.
You will be song.
You will be my music.
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
I'll never find the song to tell me
All the things I need to say.
And I'm afraid as time goes by
That someday soon you'll go away.
And I'll be lost in trying
For songs I'll never sing.
Wanting you is everything:
You will be my music.
You will be song.
You will be my music.
I can't wait any longer if I'm wrong.
I can't wait any longer for my song.
When skies are cloudy and grey
They're only grey for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Until that sunshine peeps through
There's only one thing to do
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream all your troubles away
Your castles may tumble (that's fate after all)
Life's really funny that way
No use to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren't you king for a day?
Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Your castles may tumble (that's fate after all)
Life's really funny that way
But no need to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren't you king for a day?
Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
Today I may not have a thing at all
Except for just a dream or two
But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you
Right now it may not seem like spring at all
We're drifting and the laughs are few
But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow
And all my tomorrows belong to you
No one knows better than I
That luck keeps passing me by ... that's fate
But with you there at my side
I'll soon be turrning the tide ... just wait
As long as I've got arms that cling at all
It's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, beg, or borrow
On some bright tomorrow they'll all come true
It seems to me I've heard that song before
It's from an old familiar score
I know it well, that melody
It's funny how a theme
Recalls a favorite dream
A dream that brought you so close to me
I know each word, because I've heard that song before
The lyrics said: "for evermore"
For evermore's a memory
Please have them play it again
And (Then) I'll remember just when
When no one cares
And the phone never rings
The nights are endless things
You're like a child that cries
And no one heeds the crying
You're like a falling star that dies
And seems to go on dying
When no one cares
You just count souvenirs
And they glisten with your tears
You can't believe a love like hers
Could come from someone new
My lean baby - tall and thin
Five feet seven - of bones and skin
But when she tells me maybe she loves me
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be
She's so skinny - she's so drawn
When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) she's gone
But when she calls me: "baby" - I feel fine
To think she's frantically, romantically mine
She's slender, but she's tender
She makes my heart surrender
And every night, when I hold her tight
The feeling is nice - my arms can go around twice
My lean baby - she's so slim
A broomstick's wider - but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me - then I know
I love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go
My lean baby - strange to see
And all that nothing - it belongs to me
And though she may be scrawny - she's OK
Because I wouldn't want her any other way
She's so skinny - she's so drawn
When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) she's gone
But when she calls me: "baby" - I feel fine
To think she's frantically, romantically mine
I chased her - and I caught her
Then a diamond ring - I bought her
(Hey) The diamonds shine - the ring is so fine
But here is the twist - she wears it right on her wrist
My lean baby - she's so slim
A broomstick's wider - but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me - then I know
I love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go
My lean baby - tall and thin...
Isn't it rich, aren't we a pair
Me here at last on the ground - and you in mid-air
Send in the clowns
Isn't it bliss, don't you approve
One who keeps tearing around - and one who can't move
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
Just when I stopped opening doors
Finally finding the one that I wanted - was yours
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
So sure of my lines - then nobody's there
Don't you love a farce; my fault I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want - sorry my dear
But where are the clowns - there ought to be clowns
Maybe next year
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer
Losing my timing this late in my career
But where are the clowns - send in the clowns
"Oh, there used to be a ball park
where the field was warm and green,
and the people played a crazy game
with a joy I've never seen.
How the people watched with wonder,
how they laughed and how they cheered
Yes, there used to be a ball park....
right here....
And the people ate rock candy
on a great big 4th of July
and the fireworks exploded
all across the summer sky.
And the air was filled with wonder
from the hot dogs and the beer
Yes, there used to be a ball park...
right here....
Now the children try to find it,
and they can't believe their eyes
For the old team isn't playing,
and the new team hardly tries
And the sky has gotten cloudy
when it used to be so clear
and the summer....went so quickly...
this year....
Yes, there used to be a ball park...
In a world of glitter and glow
In a world of tinsel and show
The unreal from the real thing is hard to know
I discovered somebody who
Could be truly worthy and true
Yes, I met my ideal thing when I met you
I see your face before me
Crowding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Always
If you could share the magic
Yes, if you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I get along without you very well,
Of course I do,
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms.
Of course, I do,
But I get along without you very well.
I've forgotten you just like I should,
Of course I have,
Except to hear your name,
Or someone's laugh that is the same,
But I've forgotten you just like I should.
What a guy, what a fool am I,
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon.
What's in store? Should I phone once more?
No, it's best that I stick to my tune.
I get along without you very well,
Of course I do,
Except perhaps in Spring,
But I should never think of Spring,
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Gone with the wind, just like a leaf that has blown away.
Gone with the wind, my romance has flown away.
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.
But now all is gone, gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart.
Gone with the wind, the gladness that filled my heart
Just like a flame, love burned brightly
Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone,
Dusk and the shadows falling o'er land and sea,
Somewhere a voice is calling, calling for me.
Dusk and the shadows falling o'er land and sea,
Somewhere a voice is calling, calling for me.
Dearest, my heart is dreaming, dreaming of you,
You're so right for what's wrong in my life.
You're as right as rain; how can I explain?
You just fill every void in my life.
Oh, so right for what's wrong.
Fingers reaching; searching for the touch
Of love's first meeting. Something tells me that
You're right for what's wrong in my life.
You're as right as rain; how can I explain?
You just fill all the need in my heart.
Oh, so right for what's wrong.
You've changed my world into a Shangri-La.
Without a single word, I knew that you
Would right every wrong in my life.
Through the darkness of night,
You're my one shining light.
Hello Dolly, well hello Dolly,
It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
You're looking swell, Dolly, we can tell, Dolly,
You're still glowing, you're still crowing, you're still going strong.
We feel the room swaying 'cause the band's playing
One of your old favorite songs from way back when,
Take a rap, fellows, find her an empty lap, fellows,
Dolly'll never go away, Dolly'll never go away...
(instrumental by Louie Armstrong playing his saxophone)
Hello Sax(Satch not Sax), this is Francis, Louie,
It's so nice to see you back where you belong,
You're back on top, Louie, never stop, Louie,
You're still singing, you're still swinging, you're still going strong,
You get the room swaying when you start in playing
One of your great songs, your songs from way back when,
Blow your horn, Louie, sing up a great big storm, Louie,
Promise you won't go away, promise you won't go away,
Promise you won't go away again.
Writer: Irving Berlin
There may be trouble ahead
But while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and
romance
Let's face the music and dance
Before the fiddlers have fled
Before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have that chance
Let's face the music and dance
Soon, we'll be without the moon
Humming a different tune - and then...
There may be teardrops to shed
So (But) while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and
romance
(Let's face the music and dance, dance)
(Let's face the music - let's here that music)
Let's face the music and dance
I can't stop lovin' you
So I've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of old lonesome times
I can't stop wantin' you
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In dreams of yesterday
Those happy hours
That we once knew
Though long ago
Yeah they make me feel blue
They say that time
Heals a broken heart
But time has stood still
Since we've been apart
I can't stop lovin' you
Yes so I've made up my mind
To live in memory
Of old lonesome times
I can't stop wantin' you
It's so useless to say
So I'll just live my life
Live my life in dreams
You have the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,
Yet there's that upturned chin and the grin of impetuous youth,
I believe in you, I believe in you.
I hear the sound of good solid judgment whenever you talk,
Yet there's that bold, brave, spring of the tiger that quickens your walk,
I believe in you, I believe in you.
And when my faith in my fellow man all but falls apart,
I've but to feel your hand grasping mine, and I take heart,
I take heart to see the cool clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,
Yet there's that slam, bang, tang, reminiscent of gin and Vermouth,
Now I believe in you, I believe in you.
(musical interlude)
I'll never be the same,
stars have lost their meaning for me,
I'll never be the same,
nothing's what it once used to be,
And when the sun-birds that sing tell me it's spring,
I can't believe their song,
once love was king,
but kings can be wrong,
I'll never be the same,
there is such an ache in my heart.
Never be the same,
since we're apart.
Though there's a lot that a smile may hide,
I know down deep inside,
I'll never be the same,
never be the same again.
I'll never be the same,
I'll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now
I'll be around from now on.
Your latest love
Can never last,
And when its past,
I'll be around when he's gone
Good-bye old friend,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Drop me a line to say that you're fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So I'll be around when he's gone.
Good-bye old friend,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Drop me a line to say that you're fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
Last night when we were young
Love was a star
A song unsung
Life was so new
So real so right
Ages ago last night
Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star
That shone so bright
Ages ago last night
To think that spring had depended
On merely this a look, a kiss
To think that something so splended
Could slip away in one little daybreak
So now let's reminisce and recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
Blow ill wind,
blow away,
let me rest today.
You're blowin' me no good,
no good.
Go ill wind,
go away,
skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood,
and that ain't good
You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin',
ain't that a shame
It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere,
when love's to blame.
So ill wind, blow away.
let me rest today.
You're blowin' me no good.
So, ill wind, blow away,
please let me rest today.
Whippoorwills call, evenin' is nigh
Hurry to my Blue Heaven
Turn to the right, there's a little white light
Will lead you to my Blue Heaven
You'll see a smilin' face, a fireplace, a cozy room
Little nest that nestles where the roses bloom
Molly and me, and the baby makes three
We're happy in my, in my Blue Heaven
You're gonna see a smilin' face, fireplace, cozy room
And a little nest nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me, and the baby is three
We're so happy in my Blue Heaven
We're happy in my Blue Heaven
Evening shadows make me blue when each weary day is through,
How I long to be with you, my happiness.
Everyday I reminisce, dreaming of your tender kiss,
Always thinking how I miss my happiness.
A million years it seems, have gone by since we shared our dreams.
But I'll hold you again, there'll be no blue memories then.
Whether skies are gray or blue, any place on earth will do,
If I lived the past over
Saw today from yesterday
I would be in love
Anyway
If I knew that you'd leave me
If I knew you wouldn't stay
I would be in love
Anyway
Sometimes I think
Think about before
Sometime I think
If I knew then
What I know now
I don't believe I'd ever change
Somehow
Though you'll never be with me
And there are no words to say
I'll still be in love
Anyway
If I knew then
What I know now
I don't believe I'd ever change
Somehow
If I knew then
What I know now
I don't believe I'd ever change
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
(Come on and) Dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That (Those) charm(s) about you
Will carry me through...
(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words oh so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say: I hope you're feeling better
And close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit (right) down and write myself a letter
(And make believe it came, though I know it's not the same)
And (I'll) make believe (that) it came from you
It worries me
You seem to be unhappy
And that worries me
I hate to think that maybe
I have made you blue
Just what did I do
Was I mean to you
Wish I knew
I worry so
If anything is wrong
I have the right to know
So while I hold you close
And kiss you tenderly
Tell it all to me
Darling can't you see
Here was I, a gypsy,
looking for a world to roam in,
Now the world is in my arms.
No more endless searching for a place to feel at home in,
For the world is in my arms.
Mexican hill flower the sky,
Sappoco see here in your eye
When I see you smile,
I see the sunset of Geneva,
what's that magic in your charms,
When I hold you,
You're part of my heart,
And now that you're gone, the stars refuse to shine,
Oh how could they glow when all of them know
That you're no longer mine.
You're part of my heart,
And I won't believe that you've forgotten me,
Those nights in the lane, your love was so plain,
You can't ignore my plea.
My world is filled with loneliness
Now that you've said we're through,
I'm sure that we were meant to be,
But how can I prove it to you?
You're part of my heart,
My love will go on until eternity,
You reign in my soul beyond my control,
Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up is underway
Wait till out lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
Come the day that your mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain that cup dry
Wait till your charms are right, for the arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I hold you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
There ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day that your mine
Just friends
Lovers no more
Just friends
But not like before
To think of what we've been
And not to kiss again
Seems like pretending
It isn't the ending
Two friends
Drifting apart
Two friends
But one broken heart
We loved we laughed we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're
Just friends
We loved we laughed and we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends
And we're
Just friends
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles and beads
You'll glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so that
Some day he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, all those bright, shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, your heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
You'll, you'll glitter and gleam so
You're gonna make somebody dream so that
Some day he may, he may buy you a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that that's where it leads
The moment I saw her smile,
I knew she was just my style.
My only regret is we've never met for I dream of her all the while,
But she doesn't know I exist,
no matter how I persist.
So it's clear to see there's no hope for me,
Though I live at fifty-one thirty-five Kensngton Avenue,
And she lives at fifty-one thirty three.
How can I ignore the girl next door,
I love her more than I can say.
Doesn't try to please me,
doesn't even tease me,
And she never sees me glance her way.
And I though I'm heartsore,
the girl next door
Affection for me won't display.
I just adore her so I can't ignore her,
Sky, so vast is the sky, with far away clouds just wandering by,
Where do they go? Oh I don't know, don't know;
Wind that speaks to the leaves, telling stories that no one believes,
Stories of love belong to you and to me.
Oh, Dindi, if I only had words I would say all the beautiful
things that I see when you're with me, Oh my Dindi.
Oh Dindi, like the song of the wind in the trees, that's how my heart is
singing Dindi, Happy Dindi, When you're with me.
I love you more each day, yes I do, yes I do;
I'd let you go away, if you take me with you.
Don't you know, Dindi, I'd be running and searching for you like a river that
can't find the sea, that would be me without you, my Dindi.
can't find the sea that would be me without you Dindi.

(Sinatra:)
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, (and) tan, (and) young, (and) lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see)
(Tom Jobim:)
Olha que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graça
É ela mais linda que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço a caminho do mar...
Moça do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado parece um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar...
(Sinatra:)
Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
(Tom Jobim:)
(Ahh) porque tudo é tão triste
(Sinatra:)
Yes I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see
(Tom Jobim:)
Por causa do Amor
(Sinatra:)
She just doesn't see
(Tom Jobim:)
Nem olha para mim
(Sinatra:)
She never seem me
(Tom Jobim:)
Por causa do Amor...
Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you
When fortune cries "Nay, nay" to me
And people declare "You're through"
Whenever the blues become my only song
I concentrate on you
On your smile, so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine
And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
There's no use of a moonlight glow
or the peaks where winter snows
Whats the use of the waves that break in the cool of the evening
What is the evening without you
Its nothing
It may be you will never come
If you never come to me
Whats the use of my wonderful dreams
And why would they need me
Where would they lead me without you
To nowhere
Whats the use of my wonderful dreams
And why would they need me
Where would they lead me without you
In my loneliness
When you're gone and I'm all by myself and I need your carress
I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay
I just close my eyes
And the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so
And that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky
for what else can I do
I will wait for you
Once, once I Loved
And I gave so much love to this world you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye
And then one day
>From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar
floating on the silence that surrounds us.
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams
and a window that looks out on the mountains and the sea, oh how lovely
This is where I want to be here with you so close to me
until the final flicker of life's ember.
I who was lost and lonely believing life was only
a bitter tragic joke, have found with you,
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't that be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
The world is lyrical
Because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though she's some other place, her face I see
At night I creep in bed
And never sleep in bed
But look above in the air
And to my greatest joy, my love is there
She dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
All through the night
I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
But there's my love
up there above
I whisper, "Go away, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
That she's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
On a clear day,
rise and look around you,
and you'll see who you are.
On a clear day,
how it will astound you
That the glow of your BEING outshines every star.
You'LL FEEL PART OF every mountain,
sea and shore,
You CAN HEAR from far and hear a WORLD you've never HEARD before.
On a clear day,
on a clear day,
you can see forever,
I know why I've waited, know why I've been blue
Prayed each night for someone exactly like you
Why should we spend money on a show or two?
No one does those love scenes exactly like you
You make me feel so grand, I'd like to hand the world to
You seem to understand each foolish little scheme I'm
scheming
And the dream I'm dreaming
Now I know why my mother taught me to be true
She meant me for someone exactly like you
You make me feel so grand, I wanna hand the world to you
You seem to understand each foolish little scheme that
I'm scheming
And the dream that I'm dreaming
Now I know why my mother, she taught me to be true
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey (hey, hey, hey; hey, hey, hey)
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our file
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you all you see are - sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you - feel at home
The PTA, Mrs. Robinson
Won't OK the way you do your thing
Ding, ding, ding
And you'll get yours, Mrs. Robinson
Foolin' with that young stuff like you do
Boo, hoo, hoo; woo, woo, woo
So how's your bird, Mrs. Robinson
"Dandy", Mrs. Robinson you'd say
Hey, hey, hey
Well have you heard, Mrs. Robinson
Mine is fine as wine, and I should know
Pretend there is no silence, alone in your apartment
Don't notice things that once were hers,
Ignore the endless hours
Don't chase the dream that your hearts were after,
children's laughter
Somehow believe in living, forget about the giving
Just tell your life it must go on
Run from yourself until you can't be found
But don't remember, refuse to remember
Forget to remember love
I've had my moments, I will confess
My fleeting moments of tenderness
I sang of true love, I've played guitars
Then found a new love 'neath tropical stars
This time's the last time, this time it's new
Love as a pastime for me is through
I've had my moments, my big bad moments
But now my one big moment is you
I sang of true love, and I've played guitars
Then found a new love 'neath tropical stars
This time's the last time, this time it's new
Love as a pastime for me is through
I've had my moments, my big bad moments
She was Boston, I was Vegas,
She was crepe suzette, I was pie,
She was lectures, I was movies, but I loved her.
She was Mozart, I was Macy,
She was afternoon tea, I was saloon,
She was Junior League, I was Dodgers,
But I loved her morning, night and noon.
Opposites attract, the wise men claim,
Still I wish that we had been a little more the same.
It might have been a shoot out war,
If we had know each other more.
She was polo, I was race track,
She was museum, I was G.P.
She did her best to change me
Though she never never knew quite how,
But I loved her, almost as much as I do now.
[piano interlude]
She was Wall Street, I was pawn shop,
She was French champagne, I was beer,
She knew much more that I did
But there was one thing she didn't know,
[Even Superman supports the good health plan]
[He knows what it will do, it's all up to you, it's all
up to you]
Spread the health alarm to every town and farm,
And preach the good health view, it's all up to you, it's
all up to you.
[You'll find being healthy means more than a well-filled
hearse]
What good's being wealthy when you can't buy a doctor or
a nurse.
[When the job is done], we'll wind up number one
(musical interlude)
We need vitamins and medicines and beds to spare,
[Places where the sick can go and get some care.]
Lots of new equipment to combat disease
[Free examination for the kids and class,]
A kid whose health is good will have a chance to pass.
[If we do these thing and we will be the state]
(musical interlude)
Do your state a favor, the task is yours alone.
[Be a real life saver, and chance is that you will save
your own]
What should I call this happy madness that I feel inside of me
Some kind of wild October gladness that I never thought I'd see
What has become of all my sadness all my endless lonely sighs
Where are my sorrows now
What happened to the frown and is that self contented clown
Standing grinning in the mirror really me
I'd like to run through Central Park carve your initials in the bark
of every tree I pass for every one to see
I feel that I've gone back to childhood and I'm skipping through the wild wood
So excited that I don't know what to do
What do I care if I'm a juvenile I smile my secret little smile
Because I know the change in me is you
What should I call this happy madness all this unexpected joy
That turned the world into a baby's bouncing toy
The god's are laughing far above One of them gave a little shove
I stand at your gate.
And the song that I sing is of moonlight.
I stand and I wait
For the touch of your hand in the June night.
The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade.
The stars are aglow.
And tonight how their light sets me dreaming.
My love, do you know
That your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you, and I sing you a moonlight serenade.
Let us stray 'til break of day
In love's valley of dreams.
Just you and I, a summer sky,
A heavenly breeze, kissin' the trees.
So don't let me wait.
Come to me tenderly in the June night.
I stand at your gate
And I sing you a song in the moonlight.
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
Moonlight becomes - it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you - I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't you tell me I'm wrong
What a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
And if I say: "I love you" - I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight - although
When they see Monique, I know they'll understand
Monique, Monique
I've hungered so for this
Monique, Monique
The magic of your kiss
Monique, Monique
Was Paris always there
Monique, Monique
I didn't know or care
But why am I dancing, my friends may well demand
I'll tell them Monique, Monique held my hand
Michael is you
He has your face
He still has your eyes
Remember
Peter is me
’cept when he smiles
And if you look
At them both
For a while
You can see
They are you
They are me
This spring we had some heavy rain
By summer it was dry again
The roses that we planted last fall
Climb the wall
I think the house could use some paint
You know your mother’s such a saint
She takes the boys whenever she can
She sure needs a man
All those years I’ve worked for santa fe
Never ever missed a single day
Just one more without a raise in pay
And I’m leavin’
And the air still has a country smell
And everyone is looking well
As far as anyone can tell
The sun will rise tomorrow
You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’
John henry came to cut the lawn
Again he asked me where you’d gone
Can’t tell you all the times he’s been told
But he’s so old
Guess that’s all the news I’ve got today
Least that’s all the news that I can say
Maybe soon the words will come my way
Tomorrow
And the air still has a country smell
And everyone is looking well
As far as anyone can tell
The sun will rise tomorrow
You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’
You’ll never believe how much they’re growin’...
Waking skies - at sunrise
Every sunset too
Seems to be - bringing me
Memories of you
Here and there - every where
Scenes that we once knew
And they all - just recall
Memories of you
(Oh) How I wish I could forget those, (those) happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears
Your face beams - in my dreams
(In) Spite of all (that) I do
(And) Everything - seems to bring
The statue in the harbor is a lovely sight,
The Rockettes in precision are a sheer delight,
But I for one would rather visit John McKnight,
Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa,
Meet me at the Copa tonight.
There are those who just adore the Art Museum,
And out in Brooklyn, there's a ballpark and it seems,
But I don't care a whole lot if I never zeem,
Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa,
Meet at the Copa tonight.
The show goes on, and on, and on,
Do you hear the applause and the cheering,
Even if you're wooing, drop what you're doing,
Hurry down to see what you're hearing.
On 52nd street, they now have burleque,
And you count the effervescence and the view,
But all that stuff that squares is my advice to you,
Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa,
Meet at the Copa tonight.
Now some of you may like to go to movie shows,
Or walk along Fifth Avenue to view the clothes,
But here's the place that's famous for geriatric nose,
Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa,
Meet at the Copa tonight.
You'll see the nicest people in the nicest cars,
They constantly use the lounge across the lovely bars,
And it's the spot where stars come just to see the stars,
Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa,
Meet at the Copa tonight.
The show goes on, and on, and on,
Do you hear the applause and the cheering,
Even if you're wooing, drop what you're doing,
Hurry down to see what you're hearing.
The most amazing club in town you will admit,
It's imitated quite a lot but this is it.
And if you want to see where the new acts hit,
Meet me at the Copa, meet me at the Copa,
(This is the duet with Sammy Davis, Jr.)
Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me
Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.
Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhound's to Liza
Me and my shadow
We're closer than smog when it clings to L.A.
We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue
And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Happy New Year!
Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue
Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up at Jilly's right after Toots Shor
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me!
Say Frank?
What is it, Sam?
Do me a favor?
What do you want, now?
Would you mind taking it, just one more time?
From the top?
No! From the ending!
Wonderful!
And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll drop in at Danny's, The Little Club too
But wind up at Jilly's, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
(Wow!)
For my shadow and me!
Frank?
Oh, forget it Sam.
You'll know when it happens, you won't have to guess,
All at once you'll find your heart is filled with happiness.
You'll know when it happens, love can't be disguised,
All at once the dreams you dreamed will all be realized.
Your eyes will see things that are not really there.
Your lips will say things, things you never would dare.
You'll know when it happens, suddenly you'll say,
"Darling, I'm in love with you," it happens just that way.
Your eyes will see things that are not really there.
Your lips will say things, things you never would dare.
You'll know when it happens, suddenly you'll say,
Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy.
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you.
One gal you're everything to.
Fame, if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her,
Build your world around her.
Make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy
Spring was never waiting for us, girl, it ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance,
Between the parted pages that were pressed,
A love hot fevered like a striped pair of pants,
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain,
I don't think I could take it, `cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no!
I still see the yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave upon the ground.
Around your knees, and the birds like tender babies in your hands,
And the old men playing checkers by the trees.
There will be another song for me, for I will sing it.
There would be another dream for me, someone will bring it.
Oh, I will drink the wine while it is warm,
And never let you catch me looking at the sun.
But after all the loves of my life, after all the loves, you'll still be the one.
I would take my life into my hands and I will use it,
I will win the worship in their eyes, and I will lose it.
I will have all the things that I desire, and my passions flow like rivers in the sky,
And after the loves of my life, after all the loves of my life,
You'll still gonna be the one.
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet, green icing flowing down,
Someone left the cake out in the rain,
I don't think I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it,
VERSE 1
Though I know that we meet ev'ry night
and we couldn't heve change since the last time,
to my joy and delight,
it's a new kind of love at first sight.
Though it's you and it's I all the time
ev'ry meeting's marvelous pastime.
You're increasingly sweet,
so whenever we happened to met
I greet you ...
REFRAIN
With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face.
Just a song at the start
but it soon is a hymn to your grace.
When the music swells
I'm touching you hand
It tells that your're standing near, and ..
At the sound of your voice
heaven opens his portals to me.
Can I help but rejoice
that a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
with a song in my heart for you.
VERSE 2
Oh, the moon's not a moon for a night
and these stars will not twinkle and fade out,
and the words in my ears
will resound for the rest of my years.
In the morning I find with delight
not a note of our music is played out.
It will be just as sweet,
and an air that I'll live to repeat:
I greet you ...
REFRAIN
With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face.
Just a song at the start
but it soon is a hymn to your grace.
When the music swells
I'm touching you hand
It tells that you're standing near, and ..
At the sound of your voice
heaven opens his portals to me.
Can I help but rejoice
that a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
A heart thats true, there are such things
A dream for two, there are such things
Someone to whisper Darling youre my guiding star
Not caring what you own but just what you are
A peaceful sky, there are such things
A rainbow high where heaven sings
So have a little faith and trust in what tomorrow brings
Youll reach a star because there are such things
So have a little faith and trust in what tomorrow brings
You were only fooling
But I was falling in love
It's a story as old as Adam and Eve
I was making love but you were making believe
You lied to me with kisses
I tried to stop dreaming of
You were only fooling me
While I was falling in love
It's a story as old as Adam and Eve
I was making love but you were making believe
You lied to me with kisses
I tried to stop dreaming of
You were only fooling me
I could have married Imogene, or Josephine or Mame,
And I could have married Sally Lou, or let's see, what's her name?
But I thought and thought and thought and thought and now my heart's at rest.
'Cause I have sixed out to a vent, and you can have the rest.
I got a gal I love in North and South Dakota,
There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota,
I guess that two gals puts me one above the quota,
Still I get a gal in North and South Dakota.
Oooo, oooo, wish I knew which of my true loves is true.
I got a gal I love in North and South Dakota,
There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota,
Just wait till they hear about the gal in Minnesota,
It's a situation, partner, that vexes,
Guess I go back to the gal I love in Texas.
I guess I've even lost that gal in Minnesota,
It's a situation, partner, that vexes,
If I had the nerve I could go back to Texas.
Oooo, oooo, guess I'll go back to the gal I love in Texas.
Hear my voice, where you are, take a train, steal a car,
Hop a freight, grab a star, come back to me.
Catch a flame, catch a breeze, on your hand, on your knees,
Swim up high, only please come on back to me.
On a mule, in a jet, with your hair in a net,
In a shower wet, I don抰 care.
This is where you should be, from the hills to the shore,
By the wind to my door, raise the highway dust,
Break the law if you must, throw the world, only just
Come back to me.
Blast your hide, you recall, must I fight City hall
Here and now, damn it all, come on back to me,
Where on earth must I be, still I yell till I抦 blue,
In control then when you come on back to me.
Have you gone to the moon, or the corner saloon
And to crack and to croon, madamselle, where in hell can you be?
In a crate, in a trunk, on a horse, on a junk,
In a road or a van, wrapped in mink or saran,
Anyway that you can, came back to me,
Come back to me, come back to me, come back,
There goes that song again, we use to call our serenade
We fell in love when we heard it played
Over and over and over, over again
I still remember when
I sang the words and they made you mine
I'd steal a kiss and repeat each line
Over and over and over, over and then
We drifted apart, you walked off with my heart
It's funny how one listens, just starts me reminiscing
I'd soon forget that yen, I told myself
When you said, "So long", but I was wrong
There goes that song again
Corrected:
There goes that song again, we used to call it our serenade
We fell in love when we heard it played
Over and over, and over and over again.
I still remember when
I sang the words and they made you mine
I'd steal a kiss and repeat each line
Over and over, and over and over and then
We drifted apart, you walked off with my heart
It's funny how one listen, just starts me reminiscin'
I'd soon forget that yen, I told myself
When you said, "So long," but I was wrong,
Through the clouds, gray with years, over hill, wet with tears,
To a world young and free, we shall fly, follow me.
April green, everywhere, April songs always there,
Come and hear, come and see, follow me.
To the tree where our hopes hang high,
To the dream that should never die,
Where our long lost tomorrows still are in the sweet bye and bye.
Time goes by, or do we, close your eyes, and you'll see
As we were, we can be, weep no more, follow me.
Follow me, follow me.
(musical interlude)
To the tree where our hopes hang high,
To the dream that should never die,
Where our long lost tomorrows still are in the sweet bye and bye.
Time goes by, or do we, close your eyes, and you'll see

Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me.
I'm gonna buy a paper doll, that I can call my own
A doll that other fellas cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys - with all their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies, that are real
When I come home at night - she will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a paper doll, to call my own
Then have a fickle minded - real live girl
corrects a few typos and corrects punctuation:

Will have to flirt with dollies that are real
When I come home at night she will be waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded real live girl

They say you're running around when I'm out of town,
Never get home till after three,
You're cheating yourself if you're cheating on me.
If what they're saying is true, it's time that you knew,
There are many more fishes in the sea.
You're cheating yourself if you're cheating on me.
I can't believe that you're flirting, but if you're flirting,
Baby, I'm reminding you,
Whatever's good for the goose is good for the gander too.
You will take my advice, you're gonna think twice,
Won't find a love as true as mine,
Oh open your eyes, and I'm sure you will see,
You're only cheating yourself if you're cheating on me.
(instrumental)
I can't believe that you're flirting, but if you're flirting,
Baby, I'm reminding you,
Whatever's good for the goose is good for the gander too.
If you will take my advice, you're gonna think twice,
Won't find a love as true as mine,
Oh open your eyes, and I'm sure you will see,
It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set em' up Joe
I got a little story
You oughta know
We're drinkin' my friend
To the end of a brief episosde
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine
So put another nickel
In that there machine
I'm feelin' so bad
Will you make the music
Pretty and sad
I could tell you alot
But you've gotta' be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You would never know it
But buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got alot of things I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy
Please listen to me
Till its all talked away
Well, that's how it goes
And Joe I know
You're gettin' pretty anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind,
My bend in your ear
This torch that I've found
It's got be drowned
Or it soon might explode.
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long, man it's long
It's a long long road
Summer, you old Indian Summer
You're the tear that comes after June-time's laughter
You see so many dreams that don't come true
Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new
You are here to watch over
Some heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I say
"Farewell to you, Indian Summer"
You are here to watch over
A heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I say
"Farewell to you, Indian Summer"
The most beautiful girl in the world picks my ties out
She eats my candy, she drinks my brandy
The most beautiful girl in the world
The most beautiful star in the world, 'tisn't Garbo
T'sn't Dietrich, but a sweet trick
Who can make me believe it's a beautiful world
Social ? Not a bit! Natural kind of wit
She'd shine anywhere, and she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world has a mortgage
What do I care ? It's "Good-bye, care"
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world
Social ? Not a bit! She's got a natural kind of wit.
And I tell ya, she'd shine anywhere, and she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world, it has a mortgage
What do I care ? It's "Good-bye, care"
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl
The one and only beautiful girl
Do I want to be with you as the years come and go?
Only forever if you care to know.
Would I grant all your wishes and be proud of the task,
Only forever if someone should ask.
How long would it take me to be near if you beckon,
Offhand I would figure, less than a second.
Do you think I'll remember how you looked when you smiled,
There was a moon out in space
But a cloud drifted over its face
You kissed me and went on your way
The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres
Like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray
The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song
No bluer was he than I
The moon went down stars were gone
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
Here's to those who love not too wisely, know not wisely, but too well
To the girl who sighs with envy when she hears that wedding bell
To the guy who'd throw a party if he knew someone to call
Here's to the losers, bless them all
Here's to those who drink their dinners when that lady doesn't show
To the girl who'll wait for kisses underneath that mistletoe
To the lonely summer lovers when the leaves begin to fall
Here's to the losers, a-bless them all
Hey, Tom, Dick and Harry, come in out of the rain
Those torches you carry must be drowned in champagne
Here's the last toast of the evening, here's to those who still believe
All the losers will be winners, all the givers shall receive
Here's to trouble-free tomorrows, may your sorrows all be small
Make like a Mister Milquetoast - and you'll get shutout
Make like a Mister Meek - and you'll get cut out
Make like a little lamb - and wham you're shorn
I tell you chum - it's time to come - blow your horn
Make like a Mister Mumbles - and you're a zero
Make like a Mister Big - they dig a hero
You've got to sound your "A" - the day you're born
I tell you chum - it's time to come - blow your horn
The taller the tree is - the sweeter the peach
I'll give you the whole magilla - in a one word speech - reach
Make like the world's your pudding - but light the brandy
Even the mildest kiss - is a dan-dan-dandy
There'll be no love in bloom - come doomsday morn
I tell you chum - it's time to come - blow your horn
In civilized jungles - females adore
The lions who come on swinging - if you want to score - roar
You can be either read to - or be the reader
You can be either lead - or be the leader
Don't wait until you're told - you're old and worn
Take in some air - and get your lips puckered
Before you find - you're simply too tuckered
Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and we're gone
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
What - though love is old
What - though song is old
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Wailin' all the time
Dear one, tell me that we're one
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark, dancing in the dark
I don't want you
But I hate to lose you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea
I forgive you
'Cause I can't forget you
You've got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea
I ought to cross you off my list
But when you come a-knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more
I should hate you
But I guess I love you
You've got me in between
Perdido,
I look for my heart
It's perdido
I lost it way down in Torito
The day the fiesta started
Bolero,
I sway that they play the Bolero
I kissed me the listing sombrero
And that's when my heart departed
High, was the sun when I held her close
Low, was the moon when we said, "Adios"
Perdido
My heart ever since is Perdido
I know I must go to Torito
To find what I lost Perdido
(scat)
High, was the sun when I held her close
By the old Moulmein Pagoda
Looking eastward to the sea
There's a Burma gal a settin'
And I know that she waits for me
And the wind is in those palm trees
And the temple bells they say
Come you back you mother soldier
Come you back to Mandalay, come you back to Mandalay
Come you back to Mandalay
Where the old flotilla lay
I can here those paddles chonkin'
From Rangoon to Mandalay
On the road to Mandalay
Where the flying fishes play
And the dawn comes up like thunder
Out of China across the bay
Ship me somewhere east of Suez
Where the best is like the worst
And there ain't no Ten Commandments
And a cat can raise a thirst
And those crazy bells keep ringing
'Cause it's there that I long to be
By the egg foo yong pagoda
I'm just a fella, a fella with an umbrella,
Looking for a girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
I'm just a fella, a fella with an umbrella,
Glad to see the skies of blue have turned into skies of gray.
Raindrops have brought us together,
And that's what I long to see.
Maybe the break in the weather will prove to be a break for me.
So I'll be the fella, that fella with an umbrella,
If you'll be the girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
Oh, the raindrops have brought us together,
And that's what I long to see.
Maybe the break in the weather will prove to be a big break for me.
So I'll be the fella, the kid with the small umbrella,
If you'll be the girl who saved her love for a rainy day.
Won't say that grass will grow or ivy will climb,
But darling, I'd say, we've got a sure thing this time,
I'd say that we're on our way to a star,
And, take a tip from me, we are, we are.
Won't say that rivers flow or day turns to night,
But darling, I'd say we've got a sure thing all right.
Won't say it's winter when snow falls from above,
But darling, it's a sure thing we're in love.
I never predict the future, I haven't a crystal ball,
I wouldn't attempt to tell you when tomorrow will fall.
Why should I have opinions, supposing I might be wrong,
I'm mucht better off if I just call along.
(Won't say that rivers flow or day turns to night,)
(But darling, I'd say we've got a sure thing all right.)
Won't say it's winter when snow falls from above,
[Girl]
Now here's a story with quite a moral,
And all you gals, you gotta pay some mind,
When you find a guy [yeah?] worth keeping, be satisfied,
Make sure you treat him very kind..
'Cause a good guy [Ow!] is hard to find,
You could always get the other kind.
[But when you think that you got her tied, you'll find her]
Messing around with another guy.
Then you rave and you'll even start to crave,
Man, you want to see her lying deep down in the grave.
So if the guy's nice, you better take my advice,
You better love him in the morning, kiss him every night,
Ooo, give him plenty of loving, treat him right,
Because a good man nowadays is hard to find.
[Buster, you gotta be kidding, you see this little guy?]
[The one with the feeble mind, he always been, he moving time.]
[One fine day he dug another chick, she took all his loot and cut him quick.]
[Now, he's calling me back on the phone, he says]
Baby, don't you go away, I'm coming right home.
[But if you wanna come back, come on in our little grass shack,]
[You gotta love me in the morning, kiss me in the night,]
[You give me lots of loving, treat me right,]
['Cause a good gal nowadays is hard to find.]
Well, I went back, but I told this doll,
I said: Woman, then is then, but now is now,
If you want me to stay, there's just one but (what?)
Keep a smile on your face, and keep your big mouth shut.
Well, we're back together, and everything is fine,
[I'm a-running the show, jack, you better stay in line.]
[Now you know what to do when the day is through.]
I better love you in the AM [that's right!], kiss you in the PM [what else?]
Give plenty of loving [show me!] with all my mind [good boy!]
[For a good gal nowadays are hard to find.. Leroy!] Yes, ma'am!
[I am just .. you better keep those cotton picking hands off all those other dames or I'll]
Or you'll what? [I'll fly over there and turn off all your lights.]
Uh yeah, like I was saying, a good
Just say that I'm a friend of yours and maybe they won't get wise,
And if they see us together, I'll brush the dream from my eyes.
I'll tell my heart it mustn't seem the song of remember when,
Just say that I'm a friend of yours that you happen to meet again.
I'll tell my heart that it mustn't seem the song of remember when,
We three, we're all alone, living in a memory --
My echo, my shadow and me.
We three, we're not a crowd, we're not even company --
My echo, my shadow, and me.
What good is the moonlight, the silvery moonlight
That shines above.
I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo,
But where is the one I love?
We three, we'll wait for you, even till eternity -
Writers: Gaskill/McHugh
Your eyes are blue - your kisses too
I never knew - what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me
You are 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 (way up there) above me
I just can't (Could never) imagine - that you love me
(And) After all is said and done - to think that I'm the lucky (only) one
Cannot (I can't) believe that you're in love (can't believe that you're in
love.
..) with me
Here goes, looks like I `m falling, call me devil-may care,
I know it shouldn't be, but you know me, pal, I'll take a dare.
Who knows but this time I may be lucky, this may be on the square,
Yours is my heart alone
And without you, life holds no charm.
Yours every thought I own,
Our love the theme of every dream.
All that makes life seem worthwhile
Dwells in your eyes and the spell of your smile.
There is no song half so sweet to me
As your voice whispering I love you dear.
When far away or near you
In dreams I see and hear you
And yielding to your fascination
I kneel to you in adoration dear, you alone
My queen shall reign and my heart you enchain
All day I sigh for you and I dream on the night
I live or die for you my adored vision bright
All that makes life seem worthwhile
was in your eyes and the spell of your smile
There is no song half so sweet to me
You know the one I love belongs to somebody else,
That's why she sings her songs to somebody else,
And even when you have your arms around her
You know her thoughts are with somebody else,
And when I hold her hand they belong to somebody else
And you can bet they're not so cold to somebody else,
It's tough to be alone on a shelf,
And it is worse to fall in love by yourself
When the one you love belongs to somebody else.
Well, the south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there you better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand 'bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover
All the men just call him Sir
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Leroy, he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Now Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar sat a girl named Doris
And ooh, that girl looked nice
Well, he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
Well, Leroy Brown learned a lesson 'bout messin'
With the wife of a jealous man
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Well, the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Oh, Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
And he's a bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Yes, she's badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide
At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel
You are love, you are real
Really mine
In the rain, in the dark, in the sun
Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web
Of your arms
Writer(s): Burke/Van Heusen
A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an Oh, beg your pardon
Suddenly I saw - polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started, and was I the perplexed one
I held my breathe, and said May I have the next one?
In my frightened arms - polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage, built of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning, of the words: ever after
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
I've been alive forever, and I sang the very first song,
I put the words and the melodies together, I am music and I sing this song:
I sing the songs that make the whole world sing,
I sing the songs of love and special things,
I sing the songs that make the young girls cry,
I sing the songs, I sing the songs.
My home is deep within you, and I've got my own place in your soul,
Now when I look out through your eyes,
I am young again even though I'm growing old.
I sing the songs that make the whole world sing,
I sing the songs of love and special things,
I sing the songs that make the young girls cry,
I sing the songs, I sing the songs.
My music makes you dance, it gets your spirit to take a chance,
And if the music's from the heart, it's a real fine way to start,
It's from me, it's to you, it's from you, it's to me,
It's a world-wide symphony.
I sing the songs that make the whole world sing,
I sing the songs of love and special things,
I sing the songs that make the young girls cry,
I sing the songs, I sing the songs.
I sing, and the whole world sings,
I sing the songs of love and special things,
I sing the songs that make the young girls cry,
Whenever it's early twilight
I watch 'til a star breaks through
Funny, it's not a star I see
It's always you
Whenever I roam through roses
And lately I often do
Funny, it's not a rose I touch
It's always you
If a breeze, caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If I hear, a melody
It's merely the way you sigh
Wherever you are you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time I fall in love
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
Next year all our troubles will be miles away
Once again as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more.
Some day soon we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through some how.
so have yourself a merry little Christmas now
My thoughts may stray
My eyes may roam
The neighbor's grass may seem much greener
Than the grass right here at home
If pretty girls excite me
Well, that's life
But just in case, you didn't know
I love my wife
My mind at times
May dwell on sex
If someone's rating dreams
Then most of mine I guess are double X
So dimpled knees delight me
Well, that's life
But just in case, you hadn't heard
I love my wife
Like bait that wriggles
And it makes catfish bite
A lady jiggles
And my eyes gotta light
Upon so sweet a sight
And if I shake
Break out in spots
Don't fret, it's not swine fever dear
Your swine has merely got the hots
If rosy lips invite me
Well, that's life
But just in case, you couldn't guess
I love my wife
My mind at times
May dwell on sex
If someone's rating dreams
Then most of mine I guess are double X
If rosy lips invite me
Well, that's life
But just in case, you couldn't guess
Or hadn't heard
Or didn't know
I love my wife
I love my wife
I love my wife
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
A moment after dark around the park, an old-fashion gent comes parading,
Dressed in funny clothes but singing as he goes, the lamplighters serenade.
The old boy loves to talk with couples on the walk, but when its half after love time,
He reaches for his stick and from his bag of tricks, he lights every star in the sky.
And if a lady or a beau should answer no, he sprinkles their hearts with his magic,
Then he steals away to sing another day, the lamplighters serenade.
(Instrumental)
The old boy loves to talk with couples on the walk, but when its half after love time,
He reaches for his stick and from his bag of tricks, he lights every star in the sky.
And if a lady or a beau should answer no, he sprinkles their hearts with his magic,
I've seen the look - of a baby with a rattle
I've seen the look - of a hero in a battle
I've seen the look - of a heart sick turtle love
But the look that leaves you real shook - is the look of love
I've seen the look - of a jockey on a winner
I've seen the look - of a fat man having dinner
I've seen the look - of those space men up above
But the look that closes the book - is the look of love
It's thunder, it's lightening
The gentlest breeze
It's friendly, it's frightening
And more surprising than an elephant's sneeze
I've seen the look - every single blushing bride has
I've seen the look - that the fellow by her side has
But there's one look - that I'd give my life to see
We are locked in a wondrous embrace - and there on that fabulous face
Is that fabulous look of love - for me
(That's what I want to see)
Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look up - look up
And seek your maker
Before (Mr.) Gabriel blows his horn
(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road
Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before (before) you travel on
True love - true love
What have I done
That you should treat me so
You - caused me
To walk and talk
Like I never did before
(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road
Look down - look down (look down - look down)
That lonesome road
The girl that I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satins and laces and smell of cologne
Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
`stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten
A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be
Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
`stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want these arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
So don't you be, a naughty baby
Come to papa do
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight
She like the theatre and never comes late
She never bothers with people she hates
That's why the lady is a tramp
Doens't like crapgames with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls
Tha'ts why the lady is a tramp
She like the free fresh wind in her hain, life without care
She's broke and it's oke
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
She gets too hungry to wait for dinner at eight
She loves the theatre, but never comes late
She'd never bother with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp
She'll have no crapgames with sharpies and frogs
And she won't go to Harlem in Lincolns or Fords
And she won't dish the dirt with the rest of the broads
That's why the lady is a tramp
She loves the free fresh wind in her hair
Life without care. She's broke but it's oke
Hates California, it's so cold and so damp
That's why the lady. that's why the lady
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
(1)To be better far than you are(1)
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
(2)To be willing to give when there's no more to give (2)
(3)To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live (3)
And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
[Notes:]
The Broadway cast's version is quite similar with a few exceptions:
(1)To love pure and chaste from afar
(2)To fight for the right without question or pause
In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
was looked on as something shocking.
Now heaven knows, anything goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words,
now only use fourletter words writing prose,
anything goes.
The world has gone mad today,
and good´s bad today, and black´s white today,
and day´s nicht today,
When most guys today that women prize today
are just silly gigolos.
So though I´m not a great romancer,
I know that you´re bound to answer
when I propose, anything goes.

Next time you're found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
but he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time you're feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
The night is bitter
The stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder
Suddenly you're a lot older
And all because of the gal that got away
No more her eager call
The writing is on the wall
All those dreams you dreamed
They have all gone astray
The gal who won you
She's run off and undone you
That great beginning
Has seen its final inning
I don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game
No more - no more that all time thrill
Because you have been put though the mill
And never a new love
Will ever be the same
Good riddance good-bye
Every trick of hers you are on to
But fools will be fools
And where's she gone? - Where has she gone?
The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and it's tougher
With hope you burn up
Tomorrow maybe she'll turn up
There ain't no let up
Live long night, night and day
Ever since, (since) this world began
There ain't nothin' sadder than
A long lost loser
Lookin' for his gal who got away
Please come back
I overheard the strangest talk right here beside me on the walk,
A little boy and girl of three, here's how it sounded to me:
Dai dut the denny in a dum-dot, dai dut the denny in a dum-dot
Do det the daper and dai det the dum, cause dai dut the denny in the dum-dot.
[What's you say?]
I put the penny in the gum-slot, I put the penny in the gum-slot,
You get the paper and I get the gum, 'cause I put the penny in the gum-slot.
[Eeny meeny minee mo, turn the handle, let it go,]
[Peppermint flavor yummy yum, I got the penny and I get the gum,]
['Cause dai dut the denny in the dum-dot,] I put the penny in the gum-slot.
Do det the daper and dai det the dum
Cause dai dut the denny in the dum-dot.
[Dai dut the denny in the dum-dot, dai dut the denny in the dum-dot.]
[You get the paper and I get the gum, Dai dut the denny in the dum-dot.]
[Put penny in a penny machine, not carin' if it's yellow or green,]
[I'm gonna chew, won't give it to you, (won't?) you know what I mean.]
Tol' the girlie, an' tol' the lad, if you quarrel, I'll be sad.
Made it fair for everyone, gave them the paper and I kept the gum.
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light - one after another
Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
But you can't forget her - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
How little we know
How much to discover
What chemical forces flow
From lover to lover
How little we understand - what touches off that tingle
That sudden explosion - when two tingles intermingle
Who cares to define
What chemistry this is
Who cares with your lips on mine
How ignorant bliss is
So long as you kiss me - (and) the world around us shatters
How little it matters - how little we know
I've got the world on a string
I'm sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see, I'm in love
Life's a wonderful thing
As long as, I hang on to the string
I'd be a silly so and so
If I should ever let it go
(You didn't go, don't you know, you can never let go)
Got the world on a string
Sittin' on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I'm in love
Life's a wonderful thing
(Life is a wonderful thing)
Long as I hang on to the string
I'd be a silly so and so
(I'd be a silly so and so)
If I should ever let it go
(Let go, let it go)
I've got the world on a string
(And I've sitting on a rainbow)
Got that string around my finger
What a world
(What a world)
There ain't no other world like
(There ain't no public life)
I love the look(s) of you, (and) the lure of you
The sweet of you, and the pure of you
The eyes, the arms, and the (that) mouth of you
The east, west, north, and the (that) south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of you
Handle even the heart and soul of you
Love at least a small percent of me do
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
All the days are hurryin' by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Daisy is darling, Iris is sweet
Lily is lovely, Blossom's are treat
Of all the sweethearts - a guy could meet
Well I finally chose an American beauty rose
Camelia's tragic, she can't be mine
Magnolia's magic, it makes Maggie shine
Laurel will hug you, Orchid's divine
Still I finally chose an American beauty rose
She's clingier than Ivy, and she's zingier than black-eyed Susan
And springier than Mabel in June
I'm daffy as a daffodil, it's laughable the way I thrill
When roses are in bloom
Pansy is pretty, Willow is tall
Violet's kisses, tulip's recall
How can I choose one, I love them all
Como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette
strette como e` tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Down each avenue or via, street or strata
You can see'em disappearing two by two
On an evening in Roma
Do they take'em for espresso
Yeah, I guess so
On each lover's arm a girl I wish I knew
On an evening in Roma
Though there's grining and mandolining in sunny Italy
The beginning has just begun when the sun goes down
So please meet me in the plaza near your casa
I am only one and that's one too few
On an evening in Roma
Don't know what the country's coming to
But in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you on an evening in Roma
Como e` bella ce` la luna brille e` strette
strette como e` tutta bella a passeggiare
Sotto il cielo di Roma
Don't know what the country's coming to
But in Rome do as the Romans do
Will you on an evening in Roma
Sott'er celo de Roma
Anything can make me happy,
Any little thing you'll do,
You just have to raise your finger,
And the stars will linger in the blue.
When you turn your smile on,
Thrill just seems to pile on
If I hear your laughter, tears can follow after.
Anything will make me happy,
Are you lonesome tonight
Do you miss me tonight
Are you sorry we drifted apart
Does your memory stray
To a bright summer day
When I kissed you
And called you sweetheart
Do the chairs in your parlor
Seem empty and bare
Do you gaze at your doorstep
And picture me there
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again
Tell me dear
Are you lonesome tonight
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again
Tell me dear
The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned 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
Ev'ry morning mem'ries stray,
Across the sea where flying fishes play,
And as the night is falling
I find that I'm recalling
That blissful all enthralling day
Just before I sailed away,
She said the word I longed to hear her say,
I tenderly caressed her
Close to my heart I pressed her
Upon that golden yesterday.
I found my love in Avalon beside the bay,
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away.
I dream of her and Avalon, from dusk till dawn
And so I think I'll travel on
All alone, I'm so all alone
There is no one else, but you
All alone, by the telephone
Waiting for a ring-a-ting-a-ling
I'm all alone, every evening
All alone, feeling blue
Wondering (I wonder) where you are
And how you are
When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
That day is done
Livin' alone
I think about the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna' be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna' live
All by myself
Anymore
Never too sure
Sometimes I'm so insecure
The love that's distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna' be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna' live
All by myself
Anymore
(instrumental)
All by myself
Don't wanna' be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna' live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Michael is you
He has your face
He still has your eyes
Remember
Peter is me
'Cept when he smiles
And if you look
At them both
For a while
You can see
They are you
They are me
This spring we had some heavy rain
By summer it was dry again
The roses that we planted last fall
Climb the wall
I think the house could use some paint
You know your mother's such a saint
She takes the boys whenever she can
She sure needs a man
All those years I've worked for Santa Fe
Never ever missed a single day
Just one more without a raise in pay
And I'm leavin'
And the air still has a country smell
And everyone is looking well
As far as anyone can tell
The sun will rise tomorrow
You'll never believe how much they're growin'
John Henry came to cut the lawn
Again he asked me where you'd gone
Can't tell you all the times he's been told
But he's so old
Guess that's all the news I've got today
Least that's all the news that I can say
Maybe soon the words will come my way
Tomorrow
And the air still has a country smell
And everyone is looking well
As far as anyone can tell
The sun will rise tomorrow
You'll never believe how much they're growin'
My girl is violin and candlelight,
My girl is star-shine on a summer night.
Lucky heart to be part of a love like this,
Where every single kiss is a short-cut to heaven.
Heaven knows, she's everything that's dear to me,
She smiles, and cloudy days are clear to me.
Yes, the world is my oyster and I got the pearl,
And I'm happy 'cause I got my girl.
My girl is autumn days and skies of gold,
A fire to dream by, when the night is cold.
Yes, the world is my oyster and I've got the pearl,

Say you love me too.
Hey, Rosemary, step right here and say something real clever for the people.

I love you baby, (gee that's swell,)
(I love you baby,) oh you're so nice,
Here am I, mad about you, mad about you
I can't lie, I'm mad about you, mad about you,
Though I said to my heart, don't fall.
How I love the enchantment of it all,
If you knew all the dreams I've had about you,
Then you'd know that I've got it bad about you,
Press your lips to my lips and hold me near, so near,
Can't you see I'm mad about you, dear.
(musical interlude)
If you knew all those dreams I've had about you,
Then you'd know that I've got it bad about you,
Press your lips to my lips and hold me near, so near,
Settle down, you, gadabout*, you,
Please don't make me sad about you,
I can just about get through the day,
But the night makes me nervous
Not for any reason.
Except maybe that it catches you unaware,
And follows you the way a woman follows
When she wants something..
[music interlude]
I've been in every kind of night,
Why, I shouldn't be afraid of darkness,
But for some reason, the night makes me nervous.
I like a new Lincoln with all of its class,
I like a martini, and bird under glass,
I'm gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
I like to eat lobster directly from Maine,
I like to see bullfights in sunny old Spain,
I'm gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
Talley ho, off we go, who can wait another day,
You and me, out on a spree, let's get started right away.
We're gonna go travelin', and have us a fling,
We'll visit a palace, and dine with the king,
We're gonna start living, you wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough for me.
[musical interlude]
You and me, on a spree, let's get started right away.
We're a-gonna go a-travelin', and have us a fling,
We'll visit a palace, and dine with the king,
We're gonna start living, you just wait and see,
Nothing but the best is good enough,.
If our affair is going to fold, ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing,
Your act of love is getting bold, ya better stop, ya better stop.
The pace is more than I can take, ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing,
Apply the pressure to the brake, ya better stop, ya better stop.
I've a notion you've gone too far, stop a'wishing my submission,
Just turn the key and kill your ignition.
Unless the show is going on, ya better stop, ya better stop.rehearsing.
Before my self-control is gone, ya better stop, ya better stop right now.
If our romance is gonna flop, ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing
I'm just about to blow my top, ya better stop, ya better stop.
Unless you plan to do the show, ya better stop, ya better stop rehearshing.
Why don't ya tell me yes or no, ya better stop, ya better stop.
I'm no novice at this making love, in a sly way, try it my way,
Why don't you get the show on the highway.
Unless the curtains gonna rise, ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing,
Without the teasing with your eyes, ya better stop, ya better stop right now,
Until ya say that you'll become my wife, and the cast of two is gonna run for life,
I found her in Hawaii, my Neiani, so lovely
I loved her in Hawaii, my Neini, my own.
I remember soft nights, love songs, moonlight,
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do.
I'm living in a kind of daydream, I'm happy as a king,
Foolish though it may seem, to me that's everything.
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you,
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you.
I see your face in every flower, your eyes in stars above,
Look to your heart, when there are words to say
And never leave your love unspoken.
Day by day, we go our thoughtless way, and only when we pray
Do we remember those we love.
Too late to find a word that's warm and kind,
Is more than just a passing token.
Speak your love to those who seek your love,
Look to your heart, your heart will know what to say,
Look to your heart today.
(You may find a word that's warm and kind,
Is more than just a passing token.)
Speak your love to those who seek your love,
Look to your heart, your heart will know what to say,
Love isn't just for the young,
It's for all who may wish upon a star,
Love isn't just for the young,
For true love doesn't ask how old you are.
Doesn't matter if you're twenty or ninety two,
You only need a heart to share,
Then of course you need someone who feels like you,
And who answers every dream and prayer.
Love isn't just for the young,
Never fear, let the whole world know it's spring.
For love isn't just for the young,
And there's, oh, so much joy that it can bring.
Yes, the gold may have turned to silver,
But if you still have songs left unsung,
Just remember that love is for everyone,
Love isn't just for the young.
[musical interlude]
But if you still have songs left unsung,
Just remember that love is for everyone,
The world's a tiny blue-green ark
Afloat in darkest space.
And every creature lives his time
And knows his special place
And each of us is Noah
With a life all in our care
To keep against the darkness
That's flooding everywhere
We've got to walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.
The times have made us fearful
And our fears have brought the tears
The loneliness and darkness
Have grown bitter with the years
But a light is just beyond us
and the children almost see
A world that we've forgotten
And the world they want to be
When we walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
And live in love and peace.
The ark is getting crowded now
And each of us must know
When everything is finished here
There's no where else to go.
The beasts are here to bless us
And the faith is in their eyes
That we can find the garden
And see that sweet dawn rise
And we can walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
and live in love and peace.
We've got to walk with the lion,
Soar with the eagle,
Sing with the nightingale
O give me land, lots of land, under the starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in.
Just turn me loose let me straddle my ol' saddle
underneath the western skies.
On my cayuse let me wander over yonder
till I see the mountains rise.
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences,
Gaze at the moon till I lose my senses,
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences,
Don't fence me in.
Empty saddles in the old corral, where do ya ride tonight?
Are you rounding up the doggies, the strays of long ago?
Are ya on the trail to Buffalo?
Empty saddles in the old corral, where do ya ride tonight?
Are there rustlers on the border or a band of Navajo?
Are you heading for the Alamo?
Empty guns covered with rust, where do ya talk tonight?
Empty boots covered with dust, where do ya walk tonight?
Empty saddles in the old corral, my tears would be dried tonight.
If you'll only say I'm lonely as ya carry my old pal,
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
I wonder who she can be
Somebody needs me, I wish that I knew
Who she can be worries me
Every girl who passes by, I shout
"Hey, maybe you were meant to be my lovin' baby"
(You were meant to be my baby)
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
Maybe it's you
Won't you believe me?
Somebody loves me, I wonder who
I wonder who that baby can be
She's a killer, thriller
Somebody wants me, I wish that I knew
Who she can be worries me
Every girl who passes by, I shout
"Hey, maybe you were meant to be my ever lovin' baby"
(Hey, maybe baby, it's you)
Somebody loves me, I just wonder who
That old black magic has me in its spell,
that old black magic that you weave so well.
Those icy fingers up and down my spine,
That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
The same old tingle that I feel inside,
and then that elevator starts its ride,
And down and down I go,
round and round I go,
like a leaf that's caught in the tide.
I should stay away,
but what can I do?
I hear your name and I'm aflame,
Aflame with such a burning desire that only your kiss can put out the fire.
For you're the lover I have waited for,
the mate that fate had me created for.
And every time your lips meet mine, darling,
down and down I go, round and round I go,
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in,
Will I ever find the girl on my mind, the one who is my ideal
Maybe she's a dream, and yet she might be
Just around the corner waiting for me.
Will I recognize the light in her eyes, that no other eyes reveal
What a lovely trip, I'm feeling so fresh and alive
And I'm so glad to arrive, it's all so grand
It's easy to see you don't need a palace
To feel like Alice in Wonderland
Back in Ohio where I come from
I've done a lot of dreamin' and I've travelled some
But I never thought I'd see the day
When I ever took a ride on the Santa Fe
(wanna take a ride on the Santa Fe)
I would lean across my window sill
And hear the whistle echoin' across the hill
Then I'd watch the lights till they fade away
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
What a thrill (what a great big wonderful thrill)
With the wheels a-singin' "westward ho"
Right from the day I heard them start
'Cross the Kansas plains from New Mexico
I guess I've got a little gypsy in my heart
When I'm old and grey and settled down
If I ever get a chance to sneak away from town
Then I'll spend my busman's holiday
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe
All aboard! (we came across the country lickety-split)
(rollin' ninety miles an hour), I can't believe I'm here at last
Woo-oo-ooo! (when you go travellin', it's best for you
to take the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe!)
I can't believe that anything could go so fast
Then you pull that throttle, whistle blows
A-huffin' and a-puffin' and away she goes
All aboard for California*, hey!
On the Atchison (on the Atchison)
On the Atchison, Topeka (on the Atchison, Topeka)
On the Atchison, Topeka (on the Atchison, Topeka)
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe!
Kiss me once and kiss me twice and kiss me once again,
It's been a long, long time.
Haven't felt like this, my dear, since can't remember when,
It's been a long, long time.
You'll never know how many dreams I dreamed about you,
Or just how empty they all seemed without you.
So kiss me once and kiss me twice and kiss me once again,
Frankie: Janie , spare us a few minutes before the hour. Something must be said for a
song, from what was undoubtedly Jerome Kern's most memorable score. It's you and I, sweetie, with the
one of the loveliest songs in that show, Show Boat.
Frankie: We could make believe I love you, only make believe that you love me.
Janie: All that fine piece of mind in pretending, couldn't you, couldn't I, couldn't we?
Frankie: Make believe our lips are blending in a phantom kiss or two or three,
Janie: Might as well make believe I love you, for to tell the truth, I do.
(interlude)
Frankie: Make believe our lips are blending in a phantom kiss or two or three.
This lovely day will lengthen into evening, we'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had.
Alone where we have walked together, I'll remember April and be glad.
I'll be content you loved me once in April.
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new.
I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow, for I'll remember April and you.
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes, for flames live such a little while.
I'd like to make your golden dreams come true, dear,
If I only had my way.
A paradise this world would seem to you, dear,
If only I had my way.
If I had my way, dear, forever there's be
A garden of roses for you and for me,
A thousand and one things, dear, I would do,
Just for you, just for you, just for you.
If I had my way, we would never grow old,
And sunshine I'd bring every day,
You would reign all alone, like a queen on a throne,
