Como listen (help·info) (Lombard: Còmm; Latin: Comum) is a city and comune in Lombardy, Italy. It is the administrative capital of the Province of Como.
Its proximity to Lake Como and to the Alps has made Como a popular tourist destination and the city contains numerous works of art, churches, gardens, museums, theatres, parks and palaces: the Duomo (seat of Diocese of Como), the Basilica of Sant'Abbondio, the Villa Olmo, the public gardens with the Tempio Voltiano, the Teatro Sociale, the Broletto (the city’s medieval town hall) and the 20th century Casa del Fascio.
Como was the birthplace of many historically notable figures, including the (somewhat obscure) poet Caecilius who is mentioned by Catullus in the 1st century BCE, the far more substantial literary figures of Pliny the Elder and the Younger, Pope Innocent XI, the scientist Alessandro Volta, and Cosima Liszt, second wife of Richard Wagner and long-term director of the Bayreuth Festival.
The hills surrounding the current location of Como have been inhabited, since at least the Bronze Age, by a Celtic tribe known as the Orobii. Remains of settlements are still present on the wood covered hills to the South West of town.
Pierino Ronald "Perry" Como (May 18, 1912 – May 12, 2001) was an American singer and television personality. During a career spanning more than half a century he recorded exclusively for the RCA Victor label after signing with them in 1943. "Mr. C.", as he was nicknamed, sold millions of records for Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and pioneered a weekly musical variety television show, which set the standards for the genre and proved to be one of the most successful in television history. Como was seen weekly on television from 1949 to 1963, then continued hosting the Kraft Music Hall variety program on a monthly basis until 1967. His television shows and seasonal specials were broadcast throughout the world. Also a popular recording artist, Perry Como produced numerous hit records with record sales so high the label literally stopped counting at Como's behest. His combined success on television and popular recordings was not matched by any other artist of the time. Como's appeal spanned generations and he was widely respected for both his professional standards and the conduct in his personal life. In the official RCA Records Billboard magazine memorial, his life was summed up in these few words: "50 years of music and a life well lived. An example to all." Composer Ervin Drake said of him, "... [o]ccasionally someone like Perry comes along and won't 'go with the flow' and still prevails in spite of all the bankrupt others who surround him and importune him to yield to their values. Only occasionally."
Bob Hope, KBE, KCSG, KSS (born Leslie Townes Hope; May 29, 1903 – July 27, 2003) was an English-born American comedian and actor who appeared in vaudeville, on Broadway, and in radio, television and movies. He was also noted for his work with the US Armed Forces and his numerous USO shows entertaining American military personnel. Throughout his long career, he was honored for his humanitarian work. In 1996, the U.S. Congress honored Bob Hope by declaring him the "first and only honorary veteran of the U.S. armed forces." Bob Hope appeared in or hosted 199 known USO shows.
Hope was born in Eltham, London, England, the fifth of seven sons. His English father, William Henry Hope, was a stonemason from Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, and his Welsh mother, Avis Townes, was a light opera singer from Barry who later worked as a cleaning woman. She married William Hope in April 1891 and the couple set up home at 12 Greenwood Street in the town, then moved to Whitehall and St George in Bristol, before eventually moving to Cleveland, Ohio in 1908. The family emigrated to the United States aboard the SS Philadelphia, and passed inspection at Ellis Island on March 30, 1908. Hope became a U.S. citizen in 1920 at the age of 17. In a 1942 legal document, Hope's legal name is given as Lester Townes Hope. His name on the Social Security Index is also listed as Lester T. Hope. His name as registered at birth was Leslie Towns [sic] Hope.
I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down!
I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down!
'Cause my baby, gone and left this town!
Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
If I'm feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
I'll pack my trunk, and make my get-away!
I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told,
Yes, I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told,
I asked the Gypsy, "What does the future hold?"
Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black!"
Hmmm! The Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black!" ( No black! )
"Go to St. Louis, and you can win her back!"
St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
Pulls this man around by her apron strings,
If it wasn't for powder and for store-bought hair,
That gal I love wouldn't h've gone nowhere, nowhere!
I got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be,
'Cause that gal's got a heart, like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me!
I love that gal like a school boy loves his pie,
Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint an' his rye,
I love that gal, yes I love that gal,
Yes, I love that gal . . .
Until . . . the day . . . I die!
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one whoever made me care
I can't stand to think that I might be alone
Not alone again, not the way it was back then . . .
Before you walked into my heart
an' told me we would never part
so stand beside, don't ever let me be alone again!
Stand beside me, stand beside me
or if I should lose you I just couldn't . . .
get anywhere . . .
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one whoever made me care
I know there'll be times when everything goes wrong
but darling I won't care
if I know you're standin' there!
No matter what we have to do
together we can see it through
so stand beside me, an' I'll be standin' right there next to you!
Stand beside me, stand beside me
or if I should lose you I just couldn't . . .
get anywhere . . .
Stand beside me, stand beside me
You're the only one whoever made me care
You're the only one
whoever made me care . . .
Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover,
Something in the way she woos me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .
Somewhere in her smile she knows,
That I don't need no other lover,
Something in her style that shows me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know . . .
You stick around, now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know . . .
Something in the way she knows,
And all I have to do is think of her,
Something in the things she shows me . . .
I don't wanna leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .
You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know . . .
You stick around, now it may show,
I don't know, I don't know . . .
Something in the way she moves,
Attracts me like no other lover,
Something in the way she woos me . . .
I don't want to leave her now,
You know I believe in how . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .
Don't wanna leave her now . . .
The moonlight reflected the Mediterranean splendour,
The silvery sand was a magical carpet of white,
We shared with each other our kisses and willing surrender,
And promised each other that we would remember that night.
Then we had to part broken hearted,
You gave me a shell as we parted . . .
You told me to listen,
For it had a message for me.
Pretty shell that we found by the sea,
Souvenir d'Italie!
Pretty shell that I took home with me,
Souvenir d'Italie!
Even though we are so far apart,
Still the shell speaks to me,
And a voice that is yours,
Calls me back to your shores,
Voice of love . . .
Souvenir d'Italie!
Ma perché non mi fai piú dormire
Solo tu, me lo puoi dire.
Te ne sei andata cosÃ
e mi lasci partire,
Souvenir, souvenir d'Italie!
Someone is waiting,
Waiting to walk from the shadow of lonely,
In to the sun . . .
It takes a moment to happen,
Fortune may smile on you,
Only a moment,
And there is the one!
High on a hilltop or in the heart of town,
A touch of the dreamer, won't let you down,
If not tomorrow, then someday,
Somehow in time you'll discover that someone,
Waiting ( Waiting . . . )
Waiting, like me!
High on a hilltop or in the heart of town,
A touch of the dreamer, won't let you down,
If not tomorrow, then someday,
Somehow in time you'll discover that someone,
Waiting ( Waiting . . . )
Like me!
Someone who cares,
Someone who dares to love you,
Someone who thinks enough of you,
To always be willing to share . . .
Someone who gives,
Someone who lives inside you,
Someone who'll be strong beside you,
Through all the days that you live . . .
I've made up my mind that you're gonna love me,
I've made in my heart a soft place for you,
Come, stay with me, dream with me,
Sleep while the morning's new . . .
Someone who dreams,
Of being in your mind tomorrow,
Sharing your joys and your sorrow,
Helping you see what it means,
To be loved!
( Somebody loves me,
somebody loves me . . . )
Somebody somewhere
wants me and needs me
that's very wonderful to know!
Somebody lonely,
wants me to care
wants me, of all people,
to notice her there!
Well, I want to be wanted,
need to be needed,
and, I'll admit, I'm all aglow!
'Cause somebody somewhere
wants me and needs me.
wants lonely me
to smile and say "hello"
Somebody somewhere
wants me and needs me
and that's very wonderful to know!
( Somebody somewhere,
wants me and needs me . . . )
. . . wants lonely me
to smile and say "hello"
Somebody somewhere
wants me and needs me
and that's very wonderful
to know!
( Somebody loves me . . . )
Someday I'll find you, moonlight behind you
true to the dream I am dreaming!
As I draw near you, you'll smile a little smile,
for a little while, we shall stand, hand in hand!
I'll leave you never, love you forever,
all our past sorrow redeeming,
make it all come true, make me love you too,
someday I'll find you again!
Someday I'll find you, moonlight behind you
true to the dream I am dreaming!
As I draw near you, you'll smile a little smile,
for a little while, we shall stand, hand in hand!
I'll leave you never, love you forever,
all our past sorrow redeeming,
make it all come true, make me love you too,
someday I'll find you again!
Somebody cares,
When your heart is feeling blue,
As you climb your lonely stair,
Somebody cares!
Somebody knows,
When each dream falls through,
Though you think it never shows,
Somebody knows!
Somebody hears,
Every wish you make,
As you fall asleep in tears,
Somebody hears!
Somebody knew,
How I needed someone's love,
Then I looked and there was you,
Somebody knew!
Somebody heard my prayers,
Somebody cares!
Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
I wonder who she can be.
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew,
Who she can be worries me.
For ev'ry girl who passes me, I shout,
"Hey! Maybe you were meant to be my lovin' baby?"
Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
Maybe it's you!
What a beautiful noise
comin' up from the street!
It's got a beautiful sound,
it's got a beautiful beat.
What a beautiful noise
goin' on everywhere!
Like the clickity clack
of a train on a track
it's got rhythm to spare.
What a beautiful noise
it's the sound that I love,
and it fits me as well
as a hand in a glove
yes it does, yes it does,
yes it does!
What a beautiful noise! ~ What a beautiful noise!
comin' up from the park ~ comin' up from the park
it's the sound of the kids ~ sound of the kids
and it plays until dark ~ and it plays until dark
it's the sound of the cars ~ sound of the cars
on their furious flight ~ on their furious flight
. . . but there's even romance
in the way that they dance
to the beat of the night!
It's a beautiful noise!~ What a beautiful noise!
and it's the sound that I love! ~ and it's the sound that I love!
and it fits me as well ~ and it fits me as well
as a hand in a glove! ~ yes it does!
yes it does! ~ yes it does!
yes it does! ~ yes it does!
yes it does, yes it does!
What a beautiful noise! ( What a beautiful noise! )
comin' in to my room!! ( comin' into my room! )
And it's beggin' for me ( and it's beggin' for me! )
( and it's beggin' for me! ) Just to give it a tune!
What a beautiful noise
comin' up from the street!
It's got a beautiful sound,
it's got a beautiful beat.
( What a beautiful noise! ) What a beautiful noise!
( comin' into my room! ) comin' in to my room!!
And it's beggin' for me ( and it's beggin' for me! )
( and it's beggin' for me! ) Just to give it a tune!
Words and Music by Neil Diamond
Because, you come to me,
with naught save love,
and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
a wider world of hope and joy I see,
because you come to me!
Because you speak to me in accent sweet,
I find the roses waking 'round my feet,
and I am led through tears and joy to thee,
because you speak to me!
Because God made thee mine,
I’ll cherish thee,
through light and darkness through all time to be,
and pray His love may make our love divine,
because God made thee mine!

I got an ol' slouch hat,
got my roll on my shoulder
I'm as free as a breeze
an' do as I please,
just a bummin' around . . .
Gotta million friends,
I don't feel any older
I've got nothin' to lose
not even the blues,
just a bummin' around . . .
Whenever worries start
to botherin' me ( start botherin' me! )
I grab my coat, my ol' slouch hat,
hit the trail again,
you see . . .
I ain't got a dime,
don't care where I'm goin'
I'm as free as a breeze
an' do as I please,
just a bummin' around!

Words and Music by Pete Graves, 1953
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 thinkin'
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 thinkin'
If you were mine,
I'd never let you go,
And that would be the beautiful I know.

with lyrics by Johnny Burke , 1948
By the way,
Wasn't that a dream last night?
Seems I barely closed my eyes and you were there . . .
By the way,
And to my complete surprise,
You and I were dancing on a cloud somewhere . . .
I held you in my arms,
The joy of it was thrilling . . .
And then I pleaded for a kiss
And you were willing . . .
And, so we kissed,
Then I heard you say you cared,
By the way, do say it now as you did then,
Or must I wait until I dream again?
< instrumental verse >
And then I pleaded for a kiss
And you were willing . . .
And, so we kissed,
Then I heard you say you cared,
By the way, do say it now as you did then,
Or must I wait until I dream again?

Bye bye, little girl, bye bye!
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye . . .
I want a love that's sweet an' good,
A little bit more than I get from wood,
Bye bye ( bye, bye ) little girl ( bye, bye )
bye bye ( bye, bye, bye, bye ! )
Well you just can't be true to one,
An' I can't stand you bein' true to two!
I'll bet ya if you had three or four,
You'd be lookin' round for more an' more,
Bye bye ( bye, bye ) little girl ( bye, bye )
bye bye ( bye, bye, bye, bye ! )
I think I'll catch the next train outta town,
Someday you'll want me around . . .
Well you'll wind up with a broken heart,
Think of me when the tear drops start,
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye!
Bye bye bye, little girl . . .
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye!
I want a love that's sweet an' good,
A little bit more than I get from wood,
Bye bye, little girl, bye bye!

Bella, bella, bella Sue,
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
My heart belongs to you!
Stars were bright
that summer night
underneath the moonlit skies
As stars were bright
but not as bright
as the sparkle in your angel eyes!
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
My heart belongs to you!
Lucky me
that I should be
holdin' you as close as this!
And if I find
that you won't mind
I'd love to steal a little kiss!
Hmm, Bella, bella, bella Sue,
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
My heart belongs to you!
Someday soon,
perhaps in June,
Ah, we'll be standin' side by side
Ah when they play, oh promise me,
Oh, promise me you'll be my bride!
Oh, Bella, bella, bella Sue,
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
Bella, bella, bella Sue,
My heart belongs to you!

'Better luck next time' that could never be,
Because there ain't gonna be no next time for me . . .
No Siree, made up my mind to make another start,
I've made my mind up but I can't make up my heart . . .
I'd like a new lucky day, that would be nice,
But this comes just once in a lifetime, not twice . . .
So don't say, 'Better luck next time, that could never be'
Because there ain't gonna be no next time for me . . .

Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
Make it safe by night and day . . .
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out . . .
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie overall . . .
Bless this door that it may prove,
Ever open,
To joy and love . . .
Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's Heavenly light,
Bless the hearth, the painting there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer!
Bless the folk who dwell within,
Keep them pure and free from sin . . .
Bless us all that we may be,
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee . . .
Bless us all that one day we may dwell,
O Lord! With Thee!

A still small voice will speak to you one day.
A still small voice will call to you and say,
" I am the earth, the sky, the brightest star on high,
the tallest tree, the smallest drop of dew."
A still small voice one day will say to you!
The still small voice from every voice apart,
Will whisper in the language of your heart,
" I am the night, the day, the blessing and the way,
the dream that keeps a lonely heart aglow!"
Once you have heard the word a still small voice will say,
your heart will answer,
"Yes, I know!"
There could never be a portrait of my love
for nobody could paint a dream!
You will never see a portrait of my love
for miracles are never seen!
Anyone who sees her,
soon forgets the Mona Lisa!
It would take I know, a Michael Angelo,
and he would need the glow of dawn
that paints the sky above
to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
. . . yes, he would need the glow of dawn
that paints the sky above
to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
I sit alone in the golden daylight,
But all I see is a silver sky;
For in my fancy I sweep away light,
And keep my image of the sky,
Just the way we like it, you and I.
(refrain)
All through the day I dearm about the night,
I dream about the night, Here with you.
All throught the day I wish away the time,
Until the time when I'm here with you.
Down falls the sun, I run to meet you,
The evening mist melts away;
Down smiles the moon, And soon your lips recall
The kiss I dreamed of all through the day.
No one to talk with,
all by myself,
No one to walk with,
but I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
saving my love for you!
I know for certain,
the one I love,
I'm through with flirtin',
it's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
saving my love for you!
Like Jack Horner,
in the corner,
don't go nowhere,
but what do I care?
Your kisses . . .
are worth waitin' for
Believe me!
Don't stay out late,
don't care to go!
I'm home about eight,
just me an' my radio!
Ain't misbehavin' . . .
saving my love for you!
[ instrumental verse ]
Hmm, I don't stay out late,
don't care to go!
I'm home about eight,

( Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive,

You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,

To the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister in-between!
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum,
Bring gloom down to the minimum,
An' have faith ( Amen! )
Or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene!
To illustrate
My last remark
Jonah in the whale!
Noah in the arc!
An' what did they do ( What did they do? )
Just when everything looked so dark?
( What did they, what did they, what did they do? )
Man! they said
You better accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
An' latch on
To the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister in-between!
No, don't mess with Mister in-between!
( To illustrate
His last remark
Jonah in the whale!
Noah in the arc! )
An' what did they do
( What did they do?
Just when everything looked so dark?
What did they do, what did they do? )
Man! they said
You better accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
An' latch on
To the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister in-between!
No, don't mess with Mister in-between!
No, don't you mess with Mister in-between!
No, don't mess with Mister in-between!

Its fun to wander through
The alphabet with you
To tell (us what?) I mean (uh-huh?)
To tell you what you mean to me
(We love you alphabetically)
Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night . . .
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night . . .
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber steeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night . . .
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night . . .
And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them I don't know
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me 'n' the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
And you love me, too
Your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free
I'm happy that you do
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read
All but life is dead
That is my belief
And yes, I know how lonely life can be
The shadows follow me and the night won't set me free
But I don't let the evening get me down
Now that you're around me
All I do is dream of you the whole night through
with the dawn, I still go on, dreamin' of you!
You're every thought, you're every thing
you're every song I ever sing
summer, winter, autumn an' spring!
And were there more than twenty-four hours a day
they'd be spent in sweet content, dreamin' away!
When skies are gray, skies are blue
morning, noon an' night time too
all I do the whole day through is dream of you!
When skies are gray, skies are blue
morning, noon an' night time too
all I do the whole day through is dream of you!
I'd love to rest my weary head
on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
all by myself!
All by myself, in the mornin'
all by myself in the night
I sit alone with a table and a chair
so unhappy there, playin' solitaire
All by myself, I get lonely
watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head
on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
all by myself!
It’s always fair weather,
when hep cats get together!
And every time they meet,
here’s the way you’ll hear them greet ( greet! )
A hubba-hubba-hubba Hello Dad!
Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got back!
Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, let’s shoot some breeze!
Say, whatever happened to the Japanese?
Hmm a hubba-hubba-hubba, haven’t you heard?
A hubba-hubba-hubba, slip me the word!
I got it from a guy who was in the kno’
It was mighty smoky over Tokyo!
A friend of mine in a B-29 dropped another load for luck,
As he flew away, he was heard to say:
'A hubba-hubba-hubba yuk yuk!'
Well I gotta go fishin’
That’s ok, we’ll give you our permission and we’ll say,
A hubba-hubba-hubba, on your way!
And I will dig you later in the USA!
Ta dah dah dee dee dee ta dee dee, ta dah dah hi hi hi tee dee dee!
A hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got in!
A hubba-hubba-hubba, well give me some skin!
Well you’re lookin’ mighty purdy Miss Curly Locks!
I’m the grand old girly of the bobby socks!
Hmm yuttata yuttata yuttaton you talk big!
Well I’m the fresh tomata you can’t dig!
Let’s have a heart to heart’a and you’ll decide!
I’m a chick what's really on the solid side!
You knock me flat, you’re the kind of a cat,
makes me wanta blow my top: ' ‘till the end of time . . . ' ( Aaaaah! )
And if you feel that way, tell me what you say?
A hubba-hubba-hubba muk muk!
Well now you’re really talkin’, you’re no square!
You can’t be from Weehawken . . .
Hmm hmm Delaware!
You got a line of jive that’s really zoo!
Well I’ll dig you later, baby you’re all root!
< instrumental break >
You’re the kind of cat, wears a sharp cravat,
and you really know your stuff!
If you feel that way, tell me what you say?
A hubba-hubba-hubba ruff ruff!
A getta long a little mousy with the great big eyes,
well if you’re lookin’ for a spousey,
why you’re just my size!
Mister how you love to blubber
with that knock out squawk,
Seems your lips are made of rubber
every time you talk!
Oh no, no, no, hubba-hubba!
Yes, yes, yes, hubba-hubba!
Bop, bop, bop, hubba-hubba!
A what you kno’ ( A what you kno’ )
A what you say ( A what you say )
I say I’ll dig you later baby in the USA!

The willow weeps
and having wept
can weep no more
but still it cries for me
it cries in sympathy
it knows that you are gone . . .
don't leave me baby!
There was a time
when you were mine
an' not so long ago
I used to say
you'd never go away
you'd never leave me lonely . . .
don't leave me baby!
Think about the happy times
the groovy times
don't tell me they are gone
I just can't carry on an'
and know that you're not here
you're not near
anymore . . .
Don't leave me baby
things are gonna work out fine
don't leave me baby
think I'm goin' outta my mind
don't leave me baby
don't leave me behind!
( Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah!
Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! )
( Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah!
Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! )
The willow weeps

Beep, beep . . . beep, beep, yeah! )

Did anyone ever tell you, Mrs. Murphy,
that your charmin' daughter has the bluest eyes?
Did anyone ever tell you she's a darlin'
or does it hit you as a big surprise?
Did anyone ever tell you, Mrs. Murphy,
that her liltin' laugh is fresh as mornin' dew?
Whenever her Irish temper stars a blazin'
she's amazin' how she looks so much like you!
She has your way of smilin'
an' she has your freckled nose.
You'd swear she kissed the blarney
she's as sweet as can be, and take it from me,
you can betcha my life that it shows!
Did anyone ever tell you, Mrs. Murphy,
that she favours just a bit her father too?
I'm proud of our darling daughter Mrs. Murphy,
but you're my girl and I'm in love with you!

This time we almost made the pieces fit,
didn't we girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it,
didn't we girl?
This time I held the answer
right here in my hand,
then I touched it
and it had turned to sand!
This time we almost sang our songs in tune,
didn't we girl?
This time we almost made it to the moon,
didn't we girl?
This time we almost made
our poem rhyme,
this time we almost made
that long, long climb
didn't we almost make it,
this time?
. . . didn't we almost make it,
this time?

Empty pockets but a heart full of love
a heart full of love for you
Cash? Not any, not one red penny
but kisses many, for you!
Empty pockets but a heart beating fast
as true as the stars above
Please say that you'll get by with just a guy
with empty pockets filled with love!
You can't eat love, you can't drink love
you can't wear love, like you would a gown
I trust love but 'just' love won't pay for caviar
won't buy that motor car, or a house in town!
You can't spend love, you can't lend love
you must end love when the chips are down!
Love flies out the window when there's nothin' to eat
nothin' to drink, nothin' to wear but a frown
an' the chips are down!

Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin' the world roll by
Sharin' a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!
On a cloud of love, we'll hear the music of night
We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!

Mi casa, su case,
my house is your house,
welcome to my hacienda!
Mi casa, su casa,
my home is your home,
I’ll give you love warm and tender!
My house is nothing more,
than windows and a door,
and a roof that will keep out the rain!
The day you say you’re mine,
my humble house will shine,
just like a castle in Spain!
Mi casa, su case,
my house is your house,
let’s plan the future together!
Tell me, oh tell me,
that your heart is my heart,
and I will love you forever!

Meet me at the altar,
Kneel with me in prayer
Side by side at the altar,
The one who knows is waiting there ( waiting there! )
Let us be forever faithful
Forget the past and all we've done
I know if we're forever faithful
Out two hearts will be as one!
Meet me at the altar,
Kneel with me in prayer
Side by side at the altar,
The one who knows is waiting there ( waiting there! )
What the Lord has joined together
Satin try's to part
But let no man put asunder
I know there's true love in our hearts!
Meet me at the altar,
Kneel with me in prayer
Side by side at the altar,
The one who knows is waiting there !

More an' more, this heart of mine confesses
More an' more, I'm caught in your caresses
Warmed by the breath of your sighs
Cooled by the blue of your eyes
More an' more, I find it more than thrilling
To share this dream that needed fulfilling
More an' more, I'm less an' less unwilling
To give up wanting more an' more of you!

'Hush-a-bye m'baby, slumber time is comin' soon
rest your head upon my breast while Mammy hums a tune
the sandman is callin' where shadows are fallin'
while the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by!'
Way down in Missouri, where I heard this melody
when I was a little boy upon my Mammy's knee
the old-folks were hummin' and the banjos were strummin'
so sweet and low!
Strum, strum, strum, strum strum!
Seems I hear those banjos playin' once again
Hmmm, hum, hmmm!
That same old plaintive phrase!
Way down in Missouri, where I heard this melody
when I was a little boy upon my Mammy's knee
the old-folks were hummin' and the banjos were strummin'
so sweet and low!
Music by Frederick Knight Logan

My dreams are blue, my schemes are blue
Everything I look at seems to turn to blue
Except the sky above, as gray as it can be, that follows me
An' my broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!
The traffic lights, shine overhead
They're the deepest blue instead of green an' red
Especially on the corner where we used to meet
I hear the beat, of a broken hearted song,
marchin' along to the blues!
< instrumental break >
You promised me, you would never make me cry
But look whatcha did, when you said goodbye!
The moon is blue, the stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news that we were through
They can't believe that after making you my own, I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song, marchin' along to the blues!

Do, do do do do, do do!
Do, do do do do, do do!
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 girl you're everything to!
Fame, if you win it,
Comes an' 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,
And you will be happy too!

Maybe . . . you'll think of me, when you are all alone,
maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue
Then, what will you do?
Maybe . . . you'll sit an' sigh, wishing that I were near
Then, maybe you'll ask me to come back again
and maybe, I'll say maybe!
Maybe . . . ( maybe every now an' then, maybe )
you'll think of me,
when you are all alone ( wondering what I'm doin' and if I'm alone )
maybe the one who is waiting for you ( will prove untrue )
( what'll you say? ) then, what will you do? ( what'll you do? )
Maybe . . . ( maybe as the days go by, maybe )
you'll sit an' sigh
wishing that I were near ( 'cause you're just a little blue an' lonely )
Maybe you'll ask me to come back again . . .

It's an old-fashioned idea,
marryin' for love!
and that old-fashioned idea's
what I'm thinkin' of!
Where there's love, poets have said,
two can live as one!
That's an old-fashioned idea,
but it's bein' done!
If she must have gold, let it be in her hair,
rubes, let 'em be in her lips,
diamonds, let 'em shine in her eyes!
Just an old-fashioned romance,
with the moon above,
a romance, one that will end,
marryin' for love
that's the kind of love
that I'm thinking of!

You're more than life to me,
More than eternity . . .
And the more I know of you,
All the more I love you . . .
I need you more each day,
Much more than words can say. . .
More than forevermore,
I'll be yours. . .
The silver moon will fade too soon,
And bring the dawn when you'll be gone . . .
Before you go, please let me know,
That what you feel is really real . . .
So do not grieve that I must leave,
Because I live only for,
Your love an' mine,
More and more!
( repeat first two verses )
More than forevermore,
I'll be yours!
You're my moonlight love,
like an angel from nowhere you came,
in the shadows you whisper my name,
while stars in the water shine!
You're my moonlight love,
soft an' gentle are your finger tips
and like heaven the touch of your lips
tonight you are mine, all mine!
I wait for you
where the lilacs grow
in the stillness of the night!
Come to my arms
with your eyes aglow
in the silvery light!
You're my moonlight love,
though you leave me when stars fade away
kiss me darling and tenderly say
we'll meet in the moonlight again!
You're my moonlight love,
though you leave me when stars fade away
kiss me darling and tenderly say
we'll meet in the moonlight
. . . again!
On a picnic morning,
Without a warning,
I looked at you,
And somehow I knew . . .
It must have been Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been Moonglow,
That led me straight to you . . .
I still hear you sayin'
Dear heart hold me fast,
And I start in prayin'
Oh Lord, please let this last,
We . . . seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
An' now when there's Moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you . . .
You and I in the sunshine,
We strolled the fields and far,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's Moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you,
That Moonglow gave me you . . .

Theme from 'Picnic' Words by Steve Allen and Music by George Duning 1956
Last night when the moon was bright you called me darlin'
and you whispered pretty little love words in my ear
was it just moon-talk, only moon-talk
or did those pretty little love words mean you're sincere? ( sincere! )
Did those pretty little love words mean you're sincere? ( sincere! )
Last night when the moon was bright you said "I love you!"
and you painted pretty little castles in the air
was it just moon-talk, only moon-talk
or did those pretty little castles mean you really care? ( care! )
Did those pretty little castles mean you really care? ( care! )
I know that I . . . meant every sigh
when you hugged me the way you hugged me
an' you kissed me the way you kissed me
in the moonlight! ( Hubba Hubba Hubba Hubba! )
Last night when you held me tight and called me darlin'
and you told me that you would die if we should part
was it just moon-talk, only moon-talk
or did those pretty little love words come from your heart? ( heart! )
Did those pretty little love words come from your heart?
( pretty little love words come from your heart! )
Hmmm . . . moon-talk! . . . Hmmm . . . moon-talk! . . .
makes you hug me the way you hugged me
makes you kiss me the way you kissed me
in the moonlight! ( I love ya, love ya, love ya, love ya! )
Last night when you held me tight and called me darlin'
and you told me that you would die if we should part
was it just moon-talk, only moon-talk
or did those pretty little love words come from your heart? ( heart! )
Did those pretty little love words come from your heart?
( pretty little love words come from your heart! )
Moon talk, Oh moon talk!
If you admire coloring books,
And lots of people do,
I've a new one for you!
A most unusual coloring book,
The kind you never see,
Crayons ready, crayons set,
Begin to color me!
These are the eyes that watched her,
As she walked away,
Color them gray!
This is the heart,
That thought she would always be true,
Color it blue!
These are the arms that held her,
And touched her,
Then lost her somehow,
Color them empty now!
This is the tie, I wore,
Until you came between,
Color it green!
This is the room I sleep in, and walk in, and weep in,
And hide in, that nobody sees,
Color it lonely please!
This is the girl that once I depended upon,
Color her gone!
( Do you love me? Do you love me? )
In the still of the night, as I gaze from my window,
At the moon in it's flight, my thoughts all stray to you . . .
In the still of the night, while the world is in slumber,
Oh the times without number, Darling when I say to you,
"Do you love me, as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dreams come true? ( Will you be my dream come true? )
Or, will this dream of mine fade out of sight?"
Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill,
In the chill, still of the night . . . ( Do you love me? )
( Do you love me? )
In the still of the night . . .
More than likely you're leading me on,
More than likely I'll fall,
More than likely, I'll hear the music,
Where there's no music at all!
And, more than likely you'll ask for the stars,
And I'll reach for a few . . .
My heart tells me to run away,
But that's not so easy to do!
When it's more than likely I'm so in love,
And more than likely with you!
My love and devotion will always be true
Now and forever I live for you
My love and devotion are yours, yours alone
Kiss me beloved say you're my own
I kiss your lips sweet and tender
They open Heaven's door
Won't you surrender forevermore
My love will grow deeper as time passes by
Deep as the ocean and as high as the sky
My love and devotion are yours till I die
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 or 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 right on living, or end it,
You're to blame, honey, for what I do.
I know that I can be beggar, I can be queen, I can be almost any old thing—
It all depends on you.

You're to blame, honey, for what I do.
I know that I can be beggar, I can be queen, I can be almost any old thing—
It all depends on you, yes. It all depends on you.
Something's missin', when you hold me,
You don't whisper that you're mine,
Oh it all seems to fall into line!
Every promise that you make me,
Breaks like bubbles in the wine,
And it all seems to fall into line!
In a fog that isn't lifting,
We are drifting apart,
I can see someone's replaced me in your heart!
There's a coolness in your kisses,
That is only one more sign,
How it all seems to fall into line!
In a fog that isn't lifting,
We are drifting apart,
I can see someone's replaced me in your heart!
There's a coolness in your kisses,

( In these crazy times,
How very sweet to know,
Our love is like the love of long ago . . .
In these crazy times,
When life is wild and strange,
Our feelings for each other never change . . . )
Old things make way for new things,
Yet we still cling to the true things,
We will always be ruled by the heart!
In these crazy times,
When rockets fly in space,
When quick success is all they're dreaming of,
How blessed we are with our love!

I am sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers!
Since my best friend an' you, became untrue
there's nothin' else for me to do!
There are no chains to hold a love grown cold,
that's what your heart soon discovers!
So, I am sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers! ( . . . lovers, forgotten love! )
And I will stay away ( I will stay away!! ) until the day
my broken heart recovers!
But now I'm sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers!
. . . to the island of forgotten lovers!
It happened in Monterey, a long time ago,
I met her in Monterey, in ol' Mexico.
Stars an' 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 thinkin' twice,
I left her an' threw away the key to Paradise.
My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That I left in ol' Monterey!

And it's a ' gooood ' day for curin' your ills,
So, take a deep breath ( Ahhh! ) throw away all your pills,
'Cause it's a good day from mornin' 'till night! ( Say that again! )
Oh it's a good day from mornin' 'till night ( That's what he said! )
Yes it's a good day from mornin' 'till night!
Hide your heart from sight,
Lock your dreams at night,
It could happen to you!
Don't count stars or you might stumble,
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble . . .
Keep an eye on spring,
Run when church bells ring,
It could happen to you!
All I did was wonder how your arms would be,
And it happened to me . . .
it could happen to you . . .
All I did was wonder how your arms would be,
And it happened to me . . .
It had to be you, it had to be you,
I wandered around an' finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinkin' 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!
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do
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!
It just had to be you!
It seems like a year
since I've seen you dear
yet I know it's been only a day
yet the hours seem long
and the world goes wrong
for it's empty with you away . . .
And I wake from each dream
of your loveliness,
to sink once again into loneliness,
and I'd give all the world for just one caress,
I'm lonesome, I guess, that's all!
The faces I see don't appear to me
for it's your face I long for today,
with it's wonderful smile
that makes life worthwhile,
for it drives all my cares away . . .
And I dream of your lips
and your eyes of blue,
and wonder if your heart is dreaming too?
And my own heart is cryin' the whole day through
I'm lonesome, for you, that's all!

( Long life, lots of happiness, good wine,
lots of pretty kids . . . )
We gotta be one, one happy time . . .
Drive in show, covered in snow,
but we never felt the cold!
We bought us a blanket
and I always meant to thank it
for huggin' us so warm!
So we loved and laughed
an' the world was our bankroll to spend ( bankroll to spend! )
I took you to dinner, chow main and egg rolls
the fortune cookies that read ( cookies read! )
Long life, lot's of happiness, good wine,
lot's of pretty kids . . .
we gotta be one, one happy time . . .
It was a bitter wine, our first sip of time
then we drank 'till the sweet stuff ran dry
through sunshine an' roses, the winter's red noses
the days softly tip toeing by!
Now, you're the good ol' days
as you come back to play on my mind
the time of the rain, the last time you came
you lived by those silly old lines!
Long life, lot's of happiness, good wine,
lot's of pretty kids . . .
we gotta be one, one happy time . . .
. . . long life, lot's of happiness, good wine,
lot's of pretty kids . . .
we, we gotta be one, one happy time . . .

I come to serenade you
beneath your window pane
the wind is blowin' like a hurricane . . .
Oh! Look out the window,
an' see how I'm standin' in the rain!
My friends Jose an' Pedro
are waiting in the wagon,
they know that love is drivin' me in insane . . .
Oh! Look out the window,
an' see how I'm standin' in de rain!
I love you, I love you, I'd lay down my life,
I really mean the words I sing in each refrain . . .
Oh! Look out the window ( Look out the window! )
an' see how I'm standin' in de rain!
I saw you at the bull fight,
you thrilled de matadors,
an' from your dainty shoe they drank champagne!
I know I'm no hero,
but look how I'm standin' in de rain!
I'm so afraid that lightening may strike my steel guitar,
why can't we fly away to sunny Spain?
Oh! Look out de window,
an' see how I'm standin' in de rain!
My heart seems to pump like a wild jungle drum,
my head is spinning like your father's weather vane,
Oh! Look out de window ( Look out de window! )
an' see how I'm standin' in de rain!
I love you, I love you . . .
that's why I serenade you
in de rain!

The sun don’t care what it shines on,
The wind don’t care where it blows.
The leaves don’t care where they’re falling,
Love don’t care where it grows . . .
Walk into a crowd of strangers,
You're the one nobody knows,
Soon you're dancin' with a stranger,
Love don’t care where it grows . . .
Like a pearl in the ocean,
Like a fire on the snow,
Like a flower on the burning desert sand,
Love don’t care where it grows . . .
You will always find someone,
Everywhere you chance to go,
Like a pearl in the ocean,
Love don’t care where it grows . . .
< repeat second verse >
Like a pearl in the ocean,
Like a fire on the snow,
Like a flower on the burning desert sand,
Love don’t care where it grows . . .
You will always find someone,
No matter where you go,
Like a pearl in the ocean,
Love don’t care where it grows . . .
Love don’t care where it grows . . .

Friendship is a holly tree,
That brightens as it grows,
Friendship is a holly tree,
But love is a Christmas rose!
Romance is the mistletoe,
That from the ceiling glows,
Romance is the mistletoe,
But love is a Christmas rose!
With this rose I give you,
On this Christmas day,
Can't you see my darling,
What my heart has tried so hard to say?
Friendship is a holly tree ( Friendship is a holly tree )
That brightens as it grows ( That brightens as it grows )
Friendship is a holly tree ( Friendship is a holly tree )
But love is a Christmas rose! ( But love is a Christmas rose! )
Romance is the mistletoe ( Romance is the mistletoe )
That from the ceiling glows ( That from the ceiling glows )
Romance is the mistletoe ( Romance is the mistletoe )
But love is a Christmas rose! ( But love is a Christmas rose! )
Love is a Christmas rose! ( Friendship is a holly tree )
Love is a Christmas rose! ( Romance is the mistletoe )
Love is a Christmas rose . . . fade

The hills are alive and the earth is hummin'
love is spreadin' over the world!
Put your ear to the ground, you can hear it comin'
love is spreadin' over the world!
Hear it in the trees as the breeze is blowin'
see it in the fields where the grass is growin'
Pretty soon your heart will be over-flowin'
with love, sweet love!
Shout it down from the highest steeple
love is spreadin' over the world!
Give the word to all of God's people
love is spreadin' over the world!
Everybody is somebody's brother
now is the time to love one another
Hand in hand we can make it together
love is spreadin' over the world!

Softer than the starlight, warmer than the sunshine,
Brighter than the moonlight, younger than the springtime,
Sweeter than the roses fresh with the mornin' dew,
Baby, I tell you true, they act the way they do,
'Cause love looks so good on you!
Did you see the little children follow you
When you walked by ? ( When you walked by . . . )
And did you see the people stop an' stare
And did you wonder why ? ( And did you wonder why . . . )
I can tell you it's because . . .
Love is a welcome sight!
Didn't you know love's glow is . . .
Softer than the starlight, warmer than the sunshine,
Brighter than the moonlight, younger than the springtime,
Sweeter than the roses fresh with the mornin' dew,
Baby, I tell you true, they act the way they do,
'Cause love looks so good on you!
Do your old friends ever say . . .
It seems that you have changed somehow ?
And does it seem to you that the same old things . . .
Are different now ?
It's because you seem to glow . . .
Oh! What a lovely light!
Didn't you know love's glow is . . .
Softer than the starlight, warmer than the sunshine,
Brighter than the moonlight, younger than the springtime,
Sweeter than the roses fresh with the mornin' dew,
Baby, I tell you true, they act the way they do,
'Cause love looks so good on you!
Love looks so good on you . . .

Lovers, kids an' fools
might as well be brothers
pick up dreams that others
walk right by!
Lovers, kids an' fools
take each day an' taste it
don't hold back or waste it
they always try!
Life goes by fast
let's chase it
come out an' say so when we feel
something strong!
Love seldom lasts
let's chance it
we'll dance to the music in our hearts
when there's no song!
Lovers, kids an' fools ( Lovers, kids an' fools! )
don't believe in fences
they let their common senses
fall apart!
In an open heart
sympathy an' kindness rule . . .

Let’s go to church, next Sunday morning,
let's kneel an' pray side by side.
Our love will grow, on Sunday morning,
if we have the Lord as our guide!
Through the week,
you love an' laugh an' labour,
but on Sunday . . .
don't forget to love thy neighbour!
Let’s make a date,
for Sunday morning,
we'll go to church
you and I . . .
Let’s go to church, next Sunday morning,
we'll see our friends on the way
We'll stand and sing, on Sunday morning . . .

( This is the story of Lili Marlene,
doo, doo, doo doo, doo! )
Would you like to hear the story,
of a girl that many soldiers know?
It's a tale of love in all it's glory,
they tell when the lights are soft an' low!
Underneath the lamp post by the brigades
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
she waits for a boy who marched away
and though he's gone, she hears him say:
'Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene! '
( This is the story of Lili Marlene! )
With a kiss she gave her promise,
to be constant as the stars above,
every soldier knows she's kept her promise,
and she has been faithful to her love!
( Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
for this is the place a vow was made
and breezes sing her serenade . . . )
'Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene, '
( This is the story of Lili Marlene!
Though wee stems have an ending,
no one knows just what the end will be
but tonight when twilight is descending,
if you'll come along, here's what you'll see . . . )
Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
and as they go marching to the fray
the soldiers all salute and say:
We'll tell him you've been true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till he returns to you,
fare thee well . . .
Lili Marlene!
Music by Norbert Schultze and English lyrics by Tommie Connor , 1944
Original German lyrics by Hans Leip
I'm in love with a dolly named 'Glendora'
She works in the window of a big department stor-a!
Eyes of blue, hair like gold,
Never been young, but she'll never get old . . .
Oh Glendora . . . I wanna see more of you!
O' Glendora . . . O' Glendora . . .
O' Glendora . . . I wanna see more of you!
She's so shy that I don't know how I found her,
With three big body guards always workin' around her!
One just nods, an' two just grins,
An' three got a mouth full of safety pins . . .
O' Glendora . . . I wanna see more of you!
( You . . . more of you! )
O' Glendora . . . O' Glendora . . .
O' Glendora . . . I wanna see more of you!
( . . . more of you! )
I stand left an' I stand right,
Outta my head 'cause I'm outta sight . . .
O' Glendora . . . I wanna see more of you!
Late last night at the store they did some changin' . . .
An' I stood watchin' when they started re-arrangin' . . .
She lost her wig, she lost her arms,
An' when they got through she lost all of her charms,
O' Glendora . . . what did they do to you?
What they do, what they do, what they do ?
O' Glendora . . . O' Glendora . . .
O' Glendora . . . what did they do to you?
What they do, what they do, what they do ?
O' Glendora . . . O' Glendora . . .
O' Glendora . . . what did they do to you?
Do to you, oh what did they do to you?
O' Glendora . . . what did they do to you?
I've got a lot of memories to last me the rest of my life
so if you don't wanna love me, baby that'll be alright
I'm gonna take all the lovin' that I have for you
gonna take all the loneliness an' sit right down with the blues!
I'm gonna give myself a party, an' serve old memories
give my self a party, think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness that once we knew
gonna give myself a party, just me an' the blues!
A few of your love letters, a photograph or two
a gift you gave on my birthday with words of "I love you"
There's lots of things to think about, when you're feelin' blue
so I'm gonna take all the loneliness, sit right down with the blues!
I'm gonna give myself a party, an' serve old memories
give my self a party, think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness that once we knew
I'm gonna give myself a party, just me an' the blues!
. . . just me an' the blues!
Yes I know, goodbye for now,
How long? ~ a year, a day?
Yes I love you, yes you're with me,
here now, next to me, and worlds away!
See I free you, and I'll see you when I see you,
fine, OK?
Goodbye for now, again
Goodbye until whenever then
We're free, that's what we said we'd be,
at leave to come an' go, you as well as I,
somehow each "hello" makes it worth "goodbye"
. . . for now!
Goodbye for now, again
Goodbye until whenever then
We're free, that's what we said we'd be,
at leave to come an' go, you as well as I,
somehow each "hello" makes it worth "goodbye"

Goodbye . . . hmm . . . goodbye
Wanted, someone who kissed me
And held me closely, then stole my heart
Wanted, someone I trusted
Who gave no warning we'd ever part
She was last seen hiding out in someone's arms
He knew nothing of the danger in her charms
A jury may find her guilty
But I'd forgive her if I could see
A signed confession that she's repented
And really wanted no one but me
Wanted, someone who kissed me
And held me closely, then stole my heart
Wanted, someone I trusted
Who gave no warning that we'd ever part
She was last seen hiding out in someone's arms
He knew nothing of the danger in her charms
A jury may find her guilty
But I'd forgive her if I could see
A signed confession that she's repented
And really wanted no one but me
Tonight I celebrate my love for you,
It seems the natural thing to do!
Tonight, no one's going to find us,
We'll leave the world behind us,
When I make love to you, tonight!
Tonight I celebrate my love for you,
And hope that you can feel that way too!
Tonight our spirits will be climbin'
To a sky lit up with diamonds!
When I make love to you, tonight!
Tonight I celebrate my love for you,
And the midnight sun is gonna come shining through,
Tonight, there'll be no distance between us,
What I want most of you,
Is to get close to you,
Tonight!
Tonight I celebrate my love for you,
And soon this old world will seem brand new!
Tonight, we will both discover,
How friends turn into lovers,
When I make love to you, tonight!
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Is my love!
Gone is she, gone away from me,
But I remember what she said,
Here's my heart, my one an' only heart,
Save it 'till the day we wed!
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Is my love!
Sad was I when we said goodbye,
And as she left I heard her say,
Here's my love, my ever-lasting love,
Save it 'till our wedding day!
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Is my love!
I can still feel her lips on mine,
Feel the heart within me burn,
Years have come and many years have gone,
Still, I wait for her return.
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Gone . . . gone . . .
Is my love . . . is my love . . .
Is my love!
Gone is my love!
See them tumbling down,
Pledging their love to the ground!
Lonely, but free, I'll be found,
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . .
Cares of the past are behind,
Nowhere to go, but I'll find,
Just where the trail will wind,
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .
I know when night is gone,
That a new world's born at dawn!
I'll keep rolling along,
Deep in my heart as a song,
Here on the range I belong,
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . .
( Tumbleweeds, tumbleweeds!
See them tumbling down,
Pledging their love to the ground! )
Lonely, but free, I'll be found,
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .
I know ( I Know! ) when night is gone ( hmmm . . . )
That a new world's born at dawn!
I'll keep rolling along,
Deep in my heart as a song,
Here on the range I belong,
( Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . . . )
Drifting along with the tumblin' tumbleweeds . . .
( Tumbleweeds, tumbleweeds . . . )
Tumble . . . weeds . . .
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
with every Christmas car I write.
May your days be merry an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen ( 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 an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
( . . . may all your Christmas's be white! )
Trees
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Poem by Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)
Music written in 1922 by Oscar Rasbash
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 hand caress me,
Fingers press me tight,
I'd rather dream than have that lonely feelin'
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!

( Dreams and Memories )
Dreams and memories,
Are all that you've left me,
Only lonely thoughts,
About the one I worship and adore!
Dreams and memories,
Are what I must live with,
Sad remembering,
Of golden moments that exist no more!
Lovin' arms to hold me tight,
And your lips to kiss goodnight,
A love that seemed " Oh so right!"
And yet, somehow, went wrong!
Dreams and memories,
The moonlight on your hair,
Songs that we sang,
That feeling we shared whenever a church bell rang!
Oh, the memories and dreams of you!
I can't live without you . . .
I'll keep on praying you come back to me,
To me . . . to me!
Toyland, toyland
little girl and boy land
when you dwell within it
you are ever happy there!
Childhood toyland
mystical merry toyland
once you pass it's borders
you can never return again! ( not again! )
Childhood toyland ( Toyland! )
mystical merry toyland
once you pass it's borders
you can never return again!
( Toyland! ) Toyland ( Toyland! ) toyland
( Toyland! ) Toyland!
They try to tell us we're too young,
Too young to really be in love,
They say that love's a word,
A word we've only heard,
But can't begin to know the meaning of!
And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go . . .
And then, someday they may recall,
That we were not too young at all!
And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go . . .
And then, someday they may recall,
We were not too young at all!
Too young to go steady,
Too young, I hear her say,
She says we're not ready,
But then why am I feelin' this way?
Too young, so she tells me,
She says, we'll have to wait,
Why wait . . .
'Till it may be too late?
Can she realize she drives me wild,
Is she made of stone?
Must she always treat me like a child,
Won't she ever own up, I'm grown up?
Someday, she'll be sorry,
Someday, just wait an' see!
She'll wish . . .
She'd gone steady . . .
With me!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
let your heart be light
from now on our troubles will be out of sight
Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Christmas!
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
make the yuletide gay
from now on our troubles will be miles away!
All your troubles soon turn into bubbles!
Once again, as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more! ( Once more! )
Through the years we all will be together
if the fates allow;
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
and have yourself a merry little Christmas

When first I saw the love-light in your eyes,
I dreamed the world held not but joy for me.
And even though we drifted far apart,
I never dream but what I dream of thee.
I love you as I never loved before,
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o’r,
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.
I love you as I never loved before,
Since first I met you on the village green.
Come to me or my dream of love is o’r . . .
I love you as I loved you, when you were sweet,
When you were sweet sixteen.

I'm just breezin' along with the breeze,
Trailing the rails, I'm a roamin' the seas.
Like the birdies that sing in the trees,
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please.
The sky is the only roof I have over my head,
And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed.
I'm just goin' along as I please,
Breezin' along with the breeze.
The sky is the only roof I have over my head,
And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed.
I'm just goin' along as I please,
Breezin' along with the breeze.
My heart is sad an’ lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only,
Why haven’t you seen it?
I’m all for you, body an’ soul!
I spent 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 an’ soul!
I can’t believe it, it’s hard to concede it
That you turn away romance
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless I could have 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 an’ soul!

She may be weary,
women do get weary,
wearin' the same shabby dress,
and when she's weary,
try a little tenderness . . .
You know she's waitin'
just anticipatin''
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,
and a word that's soft an' gentle,
makes it easier to bear . . .
You won't regret it,
women don't forget it,
love is their whole happiness,
it's all so easy,
try a little tenderness . . .

A spray of tulips and heather, tied up together
I sent my love today
A spray of tulips and heather, asking her whether
Love's dream had gone astray!
For there's a meaning to all the flowers
They tell a story that never lies!
This purple heather, means lonely hours
And tulips weep for a love that dies!
And so I pray when they reach you, if they can teach you
All that is in my heart
My spray of tulips and heather, bring us together
Never again to part!
( For there's a meaning ) My tulips and heather!
( To all the flowers ) Are tied up together!
( They tell a story . . . ) They tell you a tale . . . that never lies!
( This purple heather . . . ) This beautiful heather . . .
( Means lonely hours . . . ) Means lonely forever . . .
( And tulips weep for . . . ) These tulips convey a love that dies!
And so I pray when they reach you, if they can teach you
All that is in my heart
My spray of tulips and heather, brings us together
Never again to part . . .
Darling! Never again to part . . .

Oh! What a trip!
What a wonderful trip!
And to think that I was worried
at the start of the trip!
I must confess that I was filled with doubt
but there was really nothing to worry about!
They love me, they love me!
I'm welcome everywhere with open arms!
They love me, they love me!
I never knew I had so many charms!
In Pakistan they took be sailing on a lovely lake
In India they let be see a mongoose kill a snake
because they love me, they love me
an' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
In Tokyo they think that I'm a 'dream'
They claimed me an' named me
'America's Ambassador Supreme'
They always have a banquet
on the day that I arrive
In Borneo they made me eat
an octopus 'alive!'
Because they love me? . . . they love me
an' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
With every place I visit it's the same!
They meet me, an' greet me!
With every kind of present you can name!
A chieftain in New Guinea
with his forehead painted 'red'
presented me with a poison arrow
an' a 'shrunken head'
Because they love me . . . oh they love me
an' they want me to come back again!
They love me, they love me!
I smile when I'm presented with a key!
In Thailand 'twas my land
I spent a happy day from two to three!
The day I left Arabia
my seat was full of bumps . . .
They made me ride a camel
where I sat between the humps!
Because they love me . . . they love me
an' they want me to come back
they want me to come back
they want me to come back again!

This is a great country, a great country
so let's shout it clear and loud!
Take a look in your history book
and you'll see why we should be proud!
Hats off to America, the home of the free and the brave
If this is flag waving, flag waving
do you know of a better flag to wave?
This is a great country, a great country
so let's shout it clear and loud!

To know you, is to love you,
And I love you . . . 'cause I know you . . .
Are such a sweetheart . . . that when you walk down the street,
Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat!
The others, who have met you,
Better start in . . . to forget you . . .
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . love me!
Were you the sun, it would be twice as sunny,
Were you a bee, there would be sweeter honey,
Were you a tune everyone would be croonin'
Harmonizin' out in the street!
You're such a bundle of me oh my,
And that's the reason when you go by,
Each heart naturally skips a beat!
Dear . . .
The others . . .
( Were you the spring, you would be twice as springy! )
Who have met you . . .
( Were you a vine, you would be twice as clingy! )
Better start in . . .
( Were you the moon, everyone would be spoonin'! )
To forget you . . .
( Every night would be mighty sweet! )
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . love me!
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . everyone should know you . . .
Know . . . yes, know . . . you love me!

with lyrics by Allan Roberts , 1952
When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all,
I'm at your side,
Oh! When times get rough,
And friends just can't be found . . .
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
When you're down an' out, when you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you,
I'll take your part,
Oh! When darkness comes,
And pain is all around . . .
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine,
Oh! When you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind . . .
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
When pictures of my life were flashed before me,
And echoes of our love came laughing by,
A sad and lonely feeling rattled through me,
Before I knew it, I began to cry . . .
For all the simple joys I never tasted,
For people that I loved just passing through,
For moments of my time I might have wasted,
But most of all, my days of loving you . . .
My days of sunshine in a summer green meadow,
When I would lie down in the shadow of your shadow,
My days of laughter, when it all seemed brighter,
When I would hide behind the shelter of your eyes . . .
I know I'll learn to live again tomorrow ( gonna miss you! )
Be happy for a while with someone new ( gonna miss you! )
But nothing in my life will have more meaning,
More magic than my days of loving you . . .
My days of sunshine in a summer green meadow,
When I would lie down in the shadow of your shadow,
My days of laughter, when it all seemed brighter,
When I would hide behind the shelter of your eyes . . .

The way you wear your hat,
The way you sip your tea,
The mem'ry of all that,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
The way your smile just beams,
The way you sing 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 the bumpy road to love,
Still, I'll always, always, keep the mem'ry of . . .
The way you 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!
No, they can't take that away from me!

No, they can't take that away . . . from me!

Why do birds suddenly appear,
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .
Why do stars fall down from the sky,
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .
On the day that you were born,
The angels got together,
An' decided to create a dream come true . . .
So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold
An' starlight in your eyes of blue . . .
That is why, all the boys in town,
Follow you, all around,
Just like me, they long to be, close to you!
On the day that you were born,
The angels got together,
An' decided to create a dream come true . . .
So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold
An' starlight in your eyes of blue . . .
That is why, all the boys in town,
Follow you, all around,
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .
Why?
Close to you . . .

Close to you . . .

Just like me, they long to be . . .
Close to you . . . ( Close to you, close to you . . . )

Bless the beasts and the children
For in this world they have no voice,
They have no choice!
Bless the beasts and the children,
For the world can never be,
A world they see!
Light their way,
When the darkness surrounds them,
Give them love,
And let it shine all around them!
Bless the beasts and the children,
Give them shelter from the storm,
Keep them safe,
And keep them warm!
Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted an' strayed
Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides!
What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed?
Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back
when I seem to be going ahead?"
To black moonlight!
Where everything reflects your colour
Darkness that is endless.
nights that leave me friendless . . . blue!
Black moonlight!
You make the lights of Harlem duller
Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded . . . too!
Why must you send . . .
ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing . . .
like shadows of love that are gone?
Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
and darken each promise of dawn?
Black moonlight!
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black, black moonlight!
When I need you,
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
and all that I so want to give you,
it's only a heartbeat away!
When I need love,
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night an' day!
A thousand miles of empty space in between us
a telephone can take the place of your smile
but you know I won't be travellin' forever
it's cold out, but hold out an do like I do!
When I need you,
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
and all that I so want to give you,
it's only a heartbeat away!
It's not easy when the road is goodbye, love! ( goodbye, love! )
Honey, that's a heavy load that we bare!
But you know I won't be travellin' a lifetime!
It's cold out, but hold out
an do like I do!
When I need love,
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
keeping me warm night an' day!
When it's cold out,
hold out an do like I do
when I need you!
Music by Albert Hammond

When is sometime?
How many days until sometime?
For my dreams make it clear
that my loved one is near
an' she oughta be here about sometime!
Who is someone?
Who is this wonderful someone?
Oh I'm keeping my heart strings in two
and hoping that sometime is soon!

Can’t sleep at night without dreams of you,
And now you fill my daydreams too!
Where you’re concerned,
when did this feeling start to grow in me,
where you’re concerned?
Why did it take so long for me to see?
I can’t pretend I’m just a friend,
where you’re concerned?
If love is just a game, then I can’t play,
where you’re concerned!
I never thought I’d feel this way, but now,
I want to live, just to give,
where you’re concerned!
Can’t sleep at night without dreams of you,
and now you fill my daydreams too!
Where you’re concerned,
If love is just a game, then I can’t play,
where you’re concerned!
I never thought I’d feel this way, but now,
I want to live, just to give,
where you’re concerned!

It seems we stood an' talked like this before
we looked at each other in the same way then
but I can't remember where or when
the clothes you're wearing
are the clothes you wore
the smile you were smiling
you were smiling then
but I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
they seem to be happening again
and so it seems that we have met before
laughed before and loved before
but who knows where or when?

South of the border, down Mexico way,
That's where I fell in love when 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 ol' Spanish lace,
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face,
For it was 'Fiesta' and we were so gay,
South of the border, down Mexico way!
Then she sighed as she whispered 'Mañana'
Never dreamin' that we were partin',
And I lied as I whispered 'Mañana'
For our tomorrow never came!
South of the border, I rode back one day,
There in a veil of white by candle-light she knelt to pray,
The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay,
South of the border, down Mexico way!
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!. . . Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!

Whats new?
How is the world treating you?
You havent changed a bit,
Lovely as ever I must admit.
Whats new?
How did that romance come through?
We havent met since then,
Gee but its nice to see you again!
Whats new?
Probably Im boring you,
But seeing you is grand,
And you were sweet to offer your hand.
I understand.
Adieu!
Pardon my asking whats new,
Of course, you couldnt know,
I havent changed,
I still love you so!
Of course, you couldnt know,
I havent changed, I still love you so,

Fooled, maybe I'm just being fooled
Maybe I'll be ridiculed but I adore you
If I'm fooled, then it's heaven being fooled
For you taught a heart unschooled to live just for you
Those who act cautious and wise
Never have stars in their eyes
If I'm in a fool's paradise
Keep me there for I don't care
if I'm fooled, and my mind is over-ruled
Still my heart has not been fooled
'Cause I'll always love you
Fly Me to the Moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like,
On Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand,
In other words, darling kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And 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.

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 your hand,
It tells that you’re standing near,
And . . .
At the sound of your voice,
Heaven opens its portals to me.
Can I help but rejoice,
That a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew ( But I always knew! )
I would live life through ( I would live life through! )
With A Song In My Heart,
For you!
( But I always knew!
I would live life through! )
With A Song In My Heart,
For you!

There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
We don't need a "lover's moon" in the sky
or the fragrance of a rose in July
or the magic of a star standing by, above you
if you'll only say "I love you!"
There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
Come my love with me,
through the door of dreams!

( Traveling Down a Lonely Road )
Why am I alone?
Why am I alone,
Traveling down a lonely road?
Darling, can't you see?
I don't wanna be,
Traveling down a lonely road.
If you would open up your heart
And let my love come shining through,
You'd know how much
I wanna walk the road with you . . .
Won't you understand?
Won't you take my hand?
It's been such a lonely road . . .
< Chorus Italian lyrics >
If you would open up your heart
And let my love come shining through,

I wanna walk the road with you . . .

Such a lonely road . . .
( Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again )
( Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again . . . )
I have seen the morning burning golden
On the mountain in the sky . . .
Achin' with the feeling of the freedom
Of an eagle when she flies . . .
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul
As I lay dyin' . . .
Healing as the colours in the sunshine
And the shadows of her eyes . . .
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers
On my skin . . .
Wiping out the traces of the people
And the places that I've been . . .
Teaching me that yesterday was something
That I never thought of tryin' . . .
Talkin' of tomorrow and the money love and time
We had to spend . . .
Lovin' her was easier
than anything I'll ever do again . . .
Comin' close together with a feelin' that I'd never known before,
In my time . . .
She ain't ashamed to be a woman
Or afraid to be a friend . . .
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door
In my mind . . .
But dreamin' was as easy as believing
It was never gonna end . . .
And lovin' her was easier
than anything I'll ever do again . . .
Hmm . . .
Love of my life, life of my love,
I used to pray and pray you'd hear me . . .
Love of my life,
Angels above sent you at last to stay always near me . . .
Now, we are one, never to part,
And never more need I implore you to miss me,
Come to my arms, come to my heart, kiss me, kiss me,
Come to me, come to me, love of my life . . .
< instrumental verse >
Now, we are one, never to part,
And never more need I implore you to miss me,
Come to my arms, come to my heart, kiss me, kiss me,
Come to me, come to me, love of my life . . .
Yes . . . your love put a song, put a song,
put a song in my heart!
Never have I heard such beautiful music before.
Yes . . . your love put a song, put a song,
put a song in my heart!
Beautiful song of two people in love evermore.
It wasn't too long ago ( long ago! )
I thought I would never know ( never know! )
what reason has anyone to sing a happy song!
I knew only loneliness ( loneliness! )
but then I've found happiness ( happiness! )
an' now I just want the world to smile and sing along!
Yes . . . your love put a song, put a song,
put a song in my heart!
Never have I heard such beautiful music before.
Yes . . . your love put a song, put a song,
put a song in my heart!
Beautiful song of two people in love evermore.
The meaning of life I find ( life I find! )
is you in my heart an' mind ( heart an' mind! )
the meaning that only comes when two hearts beat as one!
It's easy to understand ( understand! )
once you've given 'love' your hand ( 'love' your hand! )
an' followed thru paradise the way that we have done!
'Cause . . . your love put a song, put a song,
put a song in my heart!
Never have I heard such beautiful music before.
Yes . . . your love put a song, put a song,
put a song in my heart!
Beautiful song of two people in love evermore.
'Cause . . . your love put a song, put a song,
put a song in my heart!
Never have I heard such beautiful music before . . .
( Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah! ) Yes!
There's been a lot of talk about the game of love,
It's what everybody, everywhere, is thinking of!
The love bug's busy as he can be,
And I gotta a funny feeling that he just bit me!
[chorus]
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round and around.
Love makes the world go ‘round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round!
I met a little guy about four feet small,
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall!
Every time I see ‘em comin' down the street,
I know true love just can't be beat!
[repeat chorus]
A goose got loose at the county fair,
They looked high and low but she wasn't there!
Up jumped a gander who said leave her alone,
When she misses old Dad, she'll come back home!
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round . . . ( and ‘round and ‘round! )
No matter what you do or where you go,
You get kinda lonely when the lights are low!
Everybody's gotta have a love that's true,
And I just gotta have you, you, you!
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round and around.
Love makes the world go ‘round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
‘Cause love makes the world go . . .
Love makes the world go . . .
Love! Makes the world go round!
Yea, Yea and a Yea, Yeah!
Love me or leave me an' let me be lonely
you won't believe me but I love you only!
I'd rather be lonely
than happy with somebody else!
You might find the night time
the right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
for just reminiscing!
Regretting instead of forgetting
with somebody else! ( Regretting instead of forgetting! )
There'll be no one unless
that someone is you!
I intend to be
independently blue!
I want your love
but I don't want to borrow
to have it today
an' give back tomorrow!
For my love is your love
there's no love for nobody else!
Love me or leave me an' let me be lonely!
Won't you believe me that I love you only!
Oh, would rather be lonely
than happy with somebody else!
You might find the night time
the right time for kissin'
Night time is my time
for reminiscing!
Regretting instead of forgetting
with somebody else!
And there'll be no one unless
that someone is you, you, you!
I intend to be
independently . . .
independently blue!
I want your love
I don't want to borrow
to have it today
give back tomorrow!
For my love is your love
there's no love for nobody else!
Love me or leave me
an' let me be lonely . . . Baby!
You're drivin' me wild!
I'd rather be lonely
than happy with somebody else!
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 love you so,
more than you'll ever know,
more than you dream I do
I dream of you!

Love letters straight from your heart,
Keep us so near while apart.
I'm not alone in the night,
When I can have all the love you write . . .
I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart . . .
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart . . .
I cross my fingers,
every time that you kiss me goodnight,
I cross my fingers,
even though you were holding me tight,
You say you love me
and I know that's a very good sign,
still, I cross my fingers,
'till you're mine, all mine!
I cross my fingers,
every time that you kiss me goodnight,
I cross my fingers,
even though you are holding me tight . . .
You say you love me
and I know that's a very good sign . . .
still, I cross my fingers,
'till you're mine, all mine!
I cross my fingers,
every time that you kiss me goodnight,
I cross my fingers,
even though you were holding me tight,
You say you love me
and I know that's a very good sign,
still, I cross my fingers,
'till you're mine, all mine!
< instrumental verse with scat >
I would go there on my honeymoon,
if you were my girl . . .
< instrumental verse with scat >
It would be a storybook affair,
if you were my girl . . .
If you'd like some ice cream,
from the milky way,
I would shinny up the moonbeam,
an' bring you a rainbow parfait . . .
Just a sailin' along,
on the wings of a song,
with you by my side,
life would be a rolly coaster ride,
if you were my girl . . .
if you were my girl . . .
if you were my girl . . .
Music by Walter Kent
with lyrics by Walter Farrar , 1950
I don't see me in your eyes anymore,
oh why can't I make them shine as before?
I don't see you or your heart in your kiss,
when you should sigh that your mine, you resist!
There was a time life was fine, love was ecstasy
but now I doubt what the outcome will be!
I pray you'll say I'm the one you adore
then I'll see me in your eyes as before!
< instrumental break >
I pray you'll say I'm the one you adore
then I'll see me in your eyes as before!

I believe, for every drop of rain that falls,
A flower grows . . .
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
A candle glows . . .
I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come, to show the way,
I believe, I believe . . .
I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard . . .
I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word . . .
Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why, I believe!
I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard . . .
I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word . . .
Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why, I believe!

I believe in music,
I believe in love, love, love!
I believe in music,
I believe in love!
Well I can just sit around makin' music all day long,
Long as I'm makin' music, I can't do nobody no wrong!
And who knows maybe someday I'll come up with a song,
That makes people want to stop their fussin' an' fightin'
Long enough to sing along!
I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!
Music is love, love is music, if you know what I mean,
People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen!
So clap your hands an' stomp your feet, shake your tambourine,
( Lift your voices to the sky ) God loves you when you sing!
I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!
Music is the universal language and love is the key,
To brotherhood an' peace an' understandin' to live in harmony!
So, take your brothers by the hand and sing along with me,
Find out what it really means to be young, rich an' free!
I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!
I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .
I believe in music,
I believe in love!
I believe in music,
I believe in love . . .

How beautiful the world can be when it cares,
The sky can be so blue,
That ol' sun can shine for you,
This crazy world can turn around,
An' change it's point of view!
And all the stars from here to Mars will be smilin'
They'll brighten up the night so you can see,
When you find someone to love,
Then you'll find the secret of,
How beautiful the world can really be!
( Just see . . .
how beautiful the world can be when it wants to . . . )
When it wants to!
( How beautiful the world can be when it cares . . . )
When it cares!
( The sky can be so blue,
That ol' sun can shine on you . . .
This crazy world can turn around . . . )
An' make our dreams come true!
And all the stars from here to Mars will be smilin'
They'll brighten up the night so you can see,
When you find someone to love,
Then you'll find the secret of,
How beautiful the world can really be . . .
How beautiful the world can really be!

Songs were made to sing,
While we're young.
Every day is Spring,
While we're young.
None can refuse,
Time flies so fast!
Too dear to lose,
An' too sweet to last!
Though it may be just . . .
For today!
Share our love we must . . .
While we may!
So blue the skies,
All sweet surprise,
Shines before our eyes,
While we're young!
( Though it may be just . . .

Quiet nights 'n quiet stars, quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts 'n quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away . . . from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull each minute until I found you in it
And all at once the happiness I knew,
Became these quiet nights of loving you!

Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim
with lyrics by Gene Lees and Buddy Kaye
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water . . .
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea . . .
Take a look at yourself,
And you can look at others differently,
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man
From the Galilee!
Every time I look into the holy book
I want to tremble . . .
When I read about the part where the carpenter
Cleared the temple . . .
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fellas
Than what I profess to be,
And it causes me shame to know
I'm not the guy that I should be!
Mamma taught me how to pray
Before I reached the age of seven . . .
She said: There'll come a time when we'll probably need a room
In heaven!
And I'm feeling kinda guilty ‘bout the number of times
To do what we must do,
But we forget what he said when we figured that
He'd still make room!
( Hi yup! Hi yup! Hi yup! )
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
It would take more than superior forces
even a dragon to keep you from me
You can make fools out of other good guessers
put me in blinkers, I know where you'd be ( Hi yup! )
It would take schools of the finest professors
usin' their thinkers to keep you from me
What a sight you are, how bright you are, you glow
take that sight away and right away I'd go ( Hi yup! )
straight to your door over obstacle courses
maybe I'm braggin' but surely you'll see
It would take more than a pack of wild horses
pullin' your wagon to keep you from me
nothin' could keep you from me!
( Hi yup! Hi yup! Hi yup! )
< instrumental break >
( Hi yup! )
< repeat all >
. . . nothin' could keep you
from me!

Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love
Then your love will hold you round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new song
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of
In the night you see the oval moon
Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy wanna say
Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong that two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love
Find a wheel and it goes round, round, round
As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love
Then your love, you'll hold her round, round, round
In your heart's a song with a brand new song
And your head goes spinning round, round, round
'cause you've found what you've been dreamin' of
In the night you see the oval moon
Going round and round in tune
And the ball of sun in the day
Makes a girl and boy wanna say
Find a ring and put it round, round, round
And with ties so strong your two hearts are bound
Put it on the one you've found, found, found
For you know that this is really love
Find a ring, out it on
For you know that this is really love, really love, really love
Why did you leave me when I need you so?
Why did you leave me? ~ my heart wants to know!
We had the world and there were dreams to spare
Why must we close our castles in the air?
Please be fair!
Look in your heart, dear, what do you see?
There must be one dream left there for me,
for how can I go on knowing we're apart, dear?
Why did you leave me, sweetheart?

Come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong ( belong, Oh! come . . . )
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long!
I wandered into Kansas a-singin' a song
Singin' doodle-doo-day, all day!
And then I got a feelin' that somethin' was wrong
When a voice in my heart seemed to say . . .
Come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong, belong,
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long!
I left my love a-weepin' in old Arkansas
Left her for the freight cars that passed
But last night in a tavern, I swear that I saw
Her face in a shimmering glass . . .
( Come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong, belong,
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long . . . )
Now, when I hear that lonesome old train comin' near
And the moon is over the track
Oh somewhere from the shadows I know that I'll hear
Her voice in the clickity clack!
Oh come home rollin' stone,
Home where you belong, belong,
Oh! come home rollin' stone,
You've been away too long . . . ( Come home . . . )
I wish that I could take back
all of the things that I've done to hurt you!
I didn't mean to be so cruel!
And yet I know that I've been selfish
and, at times, a just fool!
And every thoughtless thing I've done
keeps comin' back to haunt me
because you took each one to heart!
And as I realize it's my fault
we've grown worlds apart . . .
I have regrets, regrets,
for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self
and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets,
for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive
I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets
If I could right the wrong I've done
maybe I could stop your leavin'
but there's so much I'm guilty of
and it's too late to say I'm sorry
'cause bein' sorry is not enough!
'Cause with each angry word that I've said
your love for me was dyin',
each word left a lasting scar
and right now I feel so helpless,
wishin' I could change the way things are . . .
I have regrets, regrets,
for my mistakes an' thinking only of my self
and all that I have left are these regrets, regrets,
for the things I did that somehow you just can't forgive
I guess I'll always have to live with these regrets . . .
( Oh come back to me, Oh come back to me,
Red Sailors, Red Sailors, bring my love to me! )
'Twas down where fisher-folk gather,
I wandered far from the throng,
I heard a fisher-girl singing,
And this refrain was her song . . .
( Oh O'oo ! )
Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
He sailed at the dawning,
All day I've been blue,
Red sails in the sunset,
I'm trusting in you . . .
Swift wings you must borrow,
Make straight for the shore,
We marry tomorrow,
And he goes sailin' no more . . .
Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
An' just like the guy who's feet are too big for his bed,
Nothin' seems to fit,
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head,
They keep fallin' . . .
So I just did me some talkin' to the sun,
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done,
Sleepin' on the job,
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head,
They keep fallin' . . .
But there's one thing, I know,
The blues they send to meet me,
Won't defeat me,
It won't be long 'till happiness
Steps up to greet me . . .
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,
Cryin's not for me,
'Cause, I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Nothin's worryin' me . . .
But there's one thing, I know,
The blues they send to meet me,
Won't defeat me,
It won't be long 'till happiness
Steps up to greet me . . .
. . . one two three four
five six seven eight . . .
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red,
Cryin's not for me,
'Cause, I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
Nothin's worryin' me . . .

O My God, I am heartily sorry,
For having offended Thee,
And I detest all my sins,
Because I dread the loss of heaven,
And the pains of Hell,
But most of all because I have offended Thee My God,
Who art all good and deserving of all my love,
I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace,
To confess my sin, to do penance,
And to amend my life,
Amen

Adeste fidelis
Laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte regem angelorum
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus Dominum.
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels!
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of Heav'n above.
Glory to God
In the Highest glory!
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Latin Hymn
translated by Frederick Oakeley
( . . . hmmmm in a world of love that I found in your arms! )
I have dreamed many dreams,
And I've shared one or two,
But the best dream of all,
Didn't start coming true,
'Till my heart felt that glow just a moment ago,
In a world of love, that I found in your arms . . .
( In a world of love, that I found in your arms . . . )
And as soft as your touch,
And as deep as your sighs,
Was that warm tender look,
I could see in your eyes,
Shining bright as the day while it showed me the way,
( To a ) world of love, that I found in your arms . . .
( To a world of love . . . that I found in your arms! )
Only one sweet embrace,
And I knew then and there,
That as long as I live,
Nothing else will compare,
With the thrill of tonight when my heart saw the light,
( In a ) world of love, that I found in your arms . . .
In a world of love, that I found in your arms . . .
In a world of love, that I found in your arms . . . ( to fade )

Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens. Lord with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day.
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me!
I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!
Music by William Henry Monk
with lyrics by Henry Francis Lyte, 1861
Angry, please don't be angry,
'Cause I was only teasing you!
I wouldn't even let you think of leavin'
Don't you know I love you true!
Just because I took a look at somebody else,
That's no reason you should put poor me on the shelf!
Angry, please don't be angry,
'Cause I was only teasing you!
Don't believe a thing you hear, just wait 'till you see,
Then you'll find no cause to show that you're jealous of me!
Oh! Angry, please don't be angry,
'Cause I was only teasing you!
Music by Henry Brunies and Jules Cassard
with lyrics by Dudley Mecum, 1925
I wanna have another go around ( another go around! )
Another go around! ( another go around! )
At this old world, this good old world . . .
And when I do ( and when I do! )
I still will love no one but you,
'Cause you're the one who made my dreams come true!
I wanna have another go around ( another go around! )
Another go around!
At this old life, this good old life . . .
And if you're there . . . ( if you are there! )
I know I'll find you anywhere,
'Cause you and I have so much love to share!
These precious moments of love will never come again,
Let me hold you close 'till forever an' then . . .
I wanna have another go around ( another go around! )
Another go around ( another go around! )
At lovin' you, my whole life through,
Oh stars above ( Oh stars above! )
Please grant me what I'm dreamin' of,
Another go around with love!
< instrumental verse >

Oh stars above ( Oh stars above! )

When I think how soon we run out of time,
Lookin’ back at what I’ve done in my time,
My accomplishments are few,
But for my days of loving you!
If I’ve never gone too far in this world,
When I might have made my mark in this world,
I had better things to do,
I had my days of loving you!
Let the others go their way,
Seeking more and more,
Give me just one yesterday,
Filled with love like yours!
I have nothin’ to regret in this life,
I’ve had all there is to get in this life,
Once I lived a dream come true,
I had my days of loving you!
Once I lived a dream come true,
I had my days of loving you!
I had my days of loving you!
Music by Eddie Snyder
with lyrics by Richard Ahler
I've got a yearning to caress you,
One thought keeps burning in my soul,
A hungry yearning to possess you,
It's far beyond control!
I want your love for now, forever,
I want you heart and soul!
My life, I'd give to you,
Anema e core . . .
I only live for you,
Anema e core . . .
I have but one desire,
And it's to love you,
With all my heart, with all my soul,
My whole life through!
From stars I'll make your crown,
And kneel before you,
I pray you'll take my hand,
For I adore you!
Open up the doors leading to heaven,
A heaven mine and yours,
Anema e core . . .

English lyrics by Manny Curtis and Harry Akst
( Remember, remember . . . )
I heard 'la, la la la, la la la,'
as we walked on the sand,
I heard 'la, la la la, la la la,'
it was early September,
Through the crash of the waves,
I could tell that the words were romantic,
Somethin' about sharing,
somethin' about always . . .
Though the years race along,
I still think of our song on the sand,
And I still try to search for the words
I can barely remember,
Though the time tumbles by,
there is one thing that I am forever certain of,
I hear 'la, la la la, la di da, la da da, la da dum,'
And I'm young and in love . . .
( la, la la la, la la la, la la la, la la la. . . )
Though the time tumbles by,
there is one thing that I am forever certain of,
I hear 'la, la la la, la da da, la da da, la da dum,'
And I'm young and in love . . .
( la, la la la, la la la, la la la . . . I'm in love! )

South of the border, down mexico way,
That’s where I fell in love when 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 ol’ spanish lace,
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face,
For it was "fiesta" and we were so gay,
South of the border, down mexico way!
Then she sighed as she whispered "mañana"
Never dreamin’ that we were partin’,
And I lied as I whispered "mañana"
For our tomorrow never came!
South of the border, I rode back one day,
There in a veil of white by candle-light she knelt to pray,
The mission bells told me that I mustn’t stay,
South of the border, down mexico way!
Ay! ay! ay! ay!. . . ay! ay! ay! ay!
Somebody up there likes me,
somebody up there cares!
Somebody up there knows my fears,
and hears my silent prayers!
Talks with me when I’m lonely,
walks with me when the night is long!
Yes, somebody up there likes me,
whatever betide me,
He’ll comfort and guide me,
and stand beside me,
right or wrong!
He’ll stand beside me,
right or wrong.
As sure as he likes the stars,
the earth and the gentle sea,
I’m certain that somebody,
yes somebody up there
likes me!

and lyrics by Sammy Cahn
My youth was spent in the Orient
where they never taught me to waltz
You'd be surprised when I exercised
it was never done to a waltz!
It was 'done' like this . . .
but never to a waltz!
In ancient Siam, women like I am
indoors or on the street . . .
No woman . . . dances with her feet!
Egyptian, Persian, only one version
no other stands a chance,
feet are for walking,
not for dance!
To an oriental fiddle,
you can see them shake their middle,
the feet don't mean a thing
middles are all they swing!
Even an Egyptian 'mummy'
wiggles her tummy
wiggles it so an' so
that is the only dance ! know!
< instrumental break >
You don't need an Arthur Murray
just a fringe that's on the surrey
will satisfy your needs
dancing between the beads!
Everybody shake your torso
sexy but more-so,
shake it, come on, let's go . . .
Let's do the only dance I know!
Words and Music by Irving Berlin
Why don't you stop! ( click, click ) and think it over ?
Before ( click, click ) you say it's over,
Because ( click, click )
It'll never be over for me
( repeat verse )
Think of all the happy times we knew,
All the memories I shared with you . . .
( repeat verse )
Don't walk out the door and say goodbye,
Isn't what we had worth one more try?
( repeat verse )
I just don't know, what I would do,
Darling, without you,
What a cold an' lonely place this world would be . . .
If you leave me now, you'll hurt me so,
Just for ol' times sake before you go . . .

Surprisin' surprisin'
that you should come along,
that you should come along,
that summer day just when you did . . .
Surprisin' surprisin'
that you should smile at me,
and I should smile at you,
that summer day just as we did . . .
Two strangers for a moment,
then we wandered down the lane,
and found a spot of shelter,
from the sudden fallin' rain . . .
Surprisin' surprisin'
to wake as from a dream,
to wake as from a dream,
and find the sun was high above . . .
. . . but it was not surprisin'
when we found we were in love . . .

See the clouds floating by
in the sky without notice
whispering "I know you"
and the tears in my eyes
never dried from the inside
what am I to do?
I am wanting to find a way
I am needing an answer
I am waiting to see the day
when I'm not just a fancy dancer
Is there no place I can go
is there not a friendly ear?
I am wanting to say "I love you"
wanting to say that I need you
wanting to hear that you love me too!
Every day is just like the last one
nothin's ever new
and I know today will be like tomorrow
nothin' I can do
I am wanting to find a way
I am needing an answer
I am wanting to see the day
when I'm not just a fancy dancer
Is there no place I can go
is there not a friendly ear?
I am wanting to say "I love you"
wanting to say that I need you
wanting to hear that you love me too!
I am wanting to find a way
I am needing an answer
I am wanting to see the day
when I'm not just a fancy dancer
Is there no place I can go?
Sposin' I should fall in love with you,
Do you think that you could love me too?
Sposin' I should hold you and caress you,
Would it impress you, or distress you?
Sposin' I should say 'For you I yearn,'
Would you think I'm speakin' out of turn?
An' sposin' I would declare it,
Would you take my love and share it?
I'm not sposin',
I'm in love with you!
< instrumental break >
Huh! Sposin' I should say 'For you I yearn,'

I'm in love with you!

With all my heart an' soul, I love you
With all my heart an' soul, I care
With every dream I dream, I love you

Take the world, take everything that I own
Leave me, just you alone
I only live each day to love you
With all my heart an' soul, I'm yours!

When I think of Tom
I think about a night
When the earth smelled of summer
And the sky was streaked with white
And the soft mist of England
was sleeping on a hill
I remember this
And I always will
There are new lovers now
on the same silent hill
Looking on the same blue sea
And I know Tom and I
are a part of them all
And they're all a part of Tom and me
Hello Young lovers whoever 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 to fly down a street in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
And you meet not realy by chance
Don't cry young lovers whatever you do
Don't cry because I'm alone
All of my mem'ries happy tonight
I've had a love of my own
I've had a love of my own like yours
I've had a love of my own
Love, look at the two of us,
Strangers, in many ways,
We've got a lifetime to share,
So much to say,
And, as we go, from day to day,
I'll feel you close to me,
But, time alone will tell,
Let's take a lifetime to say,
"I knew you well!"
For only time will tell us so,
And love may grow,
For all we know!
Wonderful baby, livin' on love
the sandman says maybe he'll take you above
up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows
where babies float by jus' countin' their toes!
Wonderful baby, nothin' but new
the world has gone crazy, I'm glad I'm not you
at the beginning, or is it the end?
Goes in and comes out, an' starts all over again!
( Wonderful baby, livin' in love
the sandman says maybe he'll take you above )
up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows
where babies float by just countin' their toes!
Wonderful baby, I'll watch while you grow
If I knew the future, you'd be first to know
but I don't know nothin' of what life's about
just as long as you live, you'll never find out!
Wonderful baby, nothin' to fear
love whom you will but doubt what you hear
they'll whisper sweet things an' make you untrue
so be good to yourself, that's all you can do
( Wonderful baby . . . wonderful baby! )
. . . up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows
where babies float by just countin' their toes!
where babies float by just countin' their toes!
( Wonderful baby . . . wonderful baby! )

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops 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 an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen ( and children listen! )

May your days be merry an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
( . . . may all your Christmas's be white! )

Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin’,
Magic, moments,
Memories we’ve been sharin’ . . .
I’ll never forget the moment we kissed,
The night of the hayride,
The way that we hugged to try to keep warm,
While takin' a sleigh ride.
Magic, moments,
Memories we’ve been sharin’,
Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin’ . . .
Time can’t erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!
whistling . . .
The telephone call that tied up the line,
For hours and hours,
The Saturday dance, I got up the nerve,
To send you some flowers.
The penny arcade,
The games that we played,
The fun and the prizes!
The Halloween hop,
When everyone came,
In funny disguises.
Magic, moments,
Memories we’ve been sharin’,
Magic, moments,
When two hearts are carin’ . . .
Time can’t erase the memory of,
These magic, moments,
Filled with love!
The way that we cheered,
Whenever our team,
Was scoring a touchdown!
The time that the floor,
Fell out of my car,
When I put the clutch down!
The heavenly days we spent at the beach
just ridin' the breakers!
Two balcony seats an' after the show
a soda with bakers!
Magic, moments,
Filled with love!
whistling . . .

( Let's forget about domani,
Let's forget about domani,
Let's forget about domani,
For domani never comes! )
Let's for get about domani,
Let's for get about domani,
Let's for get about domani,
For domani never comes!
Tomorrow,
Forget tomorrow,
Let's live for now, and anyhow,
Who needs tomorrow?
The moonlight,
Let's share the moonlight,
Perhaps together,
We will never be again!
Oh what a moon, ( che luna )
Oh what a sea, ( che mare )
With such a moon and such a sea
And you with me . . .
I get so dizzy when you're standing near,
It's not the music that you hear,
My heart keeps 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, tomorrow never comes!
( Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani,
Sú, dimentichiamo domani

Well, hello there!
My, it's been a long, long time . . .
How am I doin' ? Oh, I guess I'm doin' fine
It's been so long now, and it seems that it was only yesterday
Gee! ain't it funny, how time slips away?
How's your new love?
I hope he's doin' fine
Heard you told him that you'd love him 'till the end of time
Now, that's the same thing,
the same thing you told me, seems like just the other day
Gee! ain't it funny, funny how time slips away?
Just you remember, what I tell you
that in time you're gonna pay
and it's surprisin',
surprisin' how time slips away!
( Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again . . . )
I have seen the morning burning golden
On the mountain in the sky . . .
Achin' with the feeling of the freedom
Of an eagle when she flies . . .
Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul
As I lay dyin' . . .
Healing as the colours in the sunshine
And the shadows of her eyes . . .
Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers
On my skin . . .
Wiping out the traces of the people
And the places that I've been . . .
Teaching me that yesterday was something
That I never thought of tryin' . . .
Talkin' of tomorrow and the money love and time
We had to spend . . .
Lovin' her was easier
than anything I'll ever do again . . .
Comin' close together with a feelin' that I'd never known before,
In my time . . .
She ain't ashamed to be a woman
Or afraid to be a friend . . .
I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door
In my mind . . .
But dreamin' was as easy as believing
It was never gonna end . . .
And lovin' her was easier
than anything I'll ever do again . . .
Hmm . . .

Ho! the band stopped playin'
An' the couples stopped swayin'
But we kept on . . . dancin!
The lights went on
An' the crowd was gone
But we kept on . . . dancin!
The janitor said, 'Please let me sweep the floor!'
So, I hummed a tune an' we danced right . . .
Thru the door!
It started rainin'
But we both were insane
An' we kept right . . . on dancin'
We looked a sight
By the traffic light
But we . . . kept on dancin'
The signal was red so we just tapped our feet
When the light turned green
Well, we danced across the street!
( Couples parked in cars were romancin' )
They were romancin'
But we kept right in dancin!
( Ba bum ba bum bum' )
Our clothes were drippin'
An' we couldn't help slippin'
But we kept right in dancin!
Our feet were sore
When we reached your door
But we kept right in dancin!
When I kissed ya goodnight
My heart started dancin' too
That's when I knew . . .
That I would dance my whole life thru
With only you . . .
With only you . . .
With only you . . .
My whole life thru
With only you . . .

I€™ll sing to the sun in the sky,
I€™ll sing €˜till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!
I€™ll sing as I play my guitar,
I€™ll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This Carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?
Will true love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?
Caroling, caroling, now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling thru the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing!
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing!
The first NoÃ'l, 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.
NoÃ'l, NoÃ'l, NoÃ'l, NoÃ'l
Born is the King of Israel.
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 angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new-born king.
Silent night Holy night
All is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother an' Child
Holy infant so tender an' mild
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Silent night . . .
Holy night . . .
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses . . .
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
He speaks and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing . . .
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder, of you!
Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
And give you the break you need!
More than you know, more than you know
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, more than you'll ever know!
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothin' I can do about it
Loving may be all that you can give
But honey I can't live without it!
Hmmm . . . Oh, how I'd cry
Oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know!
I lost the sunshine and roses,
I lost the heavens of blue,
I lost the beautiful rainbow,
I lost the morning dew.
I lost the angel who gave me,
Summer the whole winter through,
I lost the gladness, that turned into sadness,
When I lost you!
I gotta gal I love in North an' South Dakota,
There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota,
I guess the two gals put me one above the quota,
Still, I gotta gal in North an' South Dakota!

Wish I knew which one of my two love's is true . . .
I gotta gal I love in North an' South Dakota,
There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota,
Just wait 'till they hear about that gal in Minnesota . . .
Ah, it's a situation partner that vexes,
Guess I'll go back to that gal I love in Texas!
( Doo do, Don't want no other gal! )
I guess I'll go back to that gal I love in Texas!
< instrumental bridge >
Gotta gal he loves in North an' South Dakota,
There ain't no difference in his love, not one iota,
Wait 'till they hear about that gal in Minnesota . . .
Ah, that's a situation partner that vexes ( Doo do )
Guess I'll go back to the one I love in Texas!
Doo, doo, wish he knew what he should do,
Wish he knew which of his two loves is true . . .
I gotta gal I love in North an' South Dakota,
There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota . . .
Wait 'till they hear all about that girl in Minnesota . . .
Ah, there's a situation partner that vexes
Guess I'll go back to that gal I love in Texas! ( Texas, Texas, Texas! )
Guess I'll go back to that gal I love in Texas!
~ from the 1947 Hollywood musical 'Ladies' Man'
Music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Sammy Cahn
In my loneliness . . .
when you're gone and I'm all by myself,
an' I need your caress,
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 missing you brings,
soon is gong 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 out of the sky, for what else can I do?
I will wait for you,
meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me . . .
I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me . . .
Became these quiet nights of loving you!
( I will wait for you . . . ) Come back to me . . .
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day,
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way,
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day . . .
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!
Moon River, and me . . .
You ain't been blue,
No, no, no . . .
You ain't been blue,
'Till you had that mood indigo . . .
That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .
Always get the mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye . . .
In the evenin' when the lights are low,
I'm so lonesome, I could die!
'Cause there's nobody,
Who cares about me . . .
I'm just a fool,
Who's bluer than blue can be,
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down an' die!
That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .
( Mandolins in the moonlight!
Beautiful music of love! )
We're not in Venice,
in a gondola,
beneath the skies of blue,
and yet it seems we're there signorina
an' I'm close to you!
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight,
mandolins in the moonlight!
See what magic you start?
A song of Italy sings
in perfect tune with the strings
of my heart!
We won't be tossin'
coins in the fountain
down in Rome tonight
and yet my dreams come true signorina
when you hold me tight!
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight,
mandolins in the moonlight!
See what magic you start?
A song of Italy sings
in perfect tune with the strings
of my heart!
Now, here's the way
they whisper "I love you"
down in Napoli
"ti voglio bene mia signorina"
and thata goes for me!
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight,
mandolins in the moonlight!
See what magic you start?
A song of Italy sings
in perfect tune with the strings
of my heart!
Mandolins in the moonlight,
beautiful music of love!
Don't look so sad, I know it's over,
But life goes on and this ol' world will keep on turning.
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 blowing soft across 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 blowing soft across the window,
And make believe you love me one more time,
For the good times . . .
For the good times . . .
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh! Your Daddy's rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby, don't you cry . . .
One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .
< instrumental break >
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .
Standing by . . .
Stay with me . . . stay with me
don't leave me now when you know how I depend on you
every day . . . every way
my little world revolves all around you . . .
Before you came my way, my days were grim an' gray
but then you smiled, an' I knew dear
my dreams had come true dear . . .
Love is mine . . . you are mine . . .
Now, life is sweet . . .
let me keep the love you've brought to me
Say it's for . . . evermore
say that you'll stay with me!
Say it's for . . . evermore
say that you'll stay an' stay
please say that you'll stay . . . with me!
( Who? . . . you! . . . Who? . . . you!
. . . Sweet adorable you! )
Who is the one, I couldn't do without
an' who is the one, I always think about?
In every little thing I do, nobody but you,
sweet adorable . . . you, you, you, you . . . ( Who? )
Sweet adorable you!
Where do I go, when I need company,
an' who do I need, to make things right for me?
The one who makes my dreams come true, nobody but you,
sweet adorable . . . you, you, you, you . . . ( Who? )
Sweet adorable you!
I'm such a lucky guy, an' that's the reason why,
I'll always be true . . .
There's not a minute of the day that can keep me away
from the love of sweet little you!
In every dream, you are the only one,
an' in every dream, I always seem to run
until I'm standin' there with you, nobody but you,
sweet adorable . . . you, you, you, you . . . ( Who? )
Sweet adorable you!
( He's such a lucky guy, an' that's the reason why,
he'll always be true . . . )
There's not a minute of the day that can keep me away

sweet adorable . . . you, you, you, you . . .
Sweet adorable you ( you, you, you, you . . . who? )
Sweet adorable you!
You came, I was alone
I should have known
You were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone
And you were temptation
It would be thrilling if you were willing
And, if it can never be, pity me
For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist, you are temptation, I
Am yours, here is my heart
Take it and say that we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you, temptation
I'm your slave!!!
Sunshine wine, an' dandelion gold
Your love is mine an' there's peace in my soul
I own a castle in the air and everything's fine, fine , fine
Life's beautiful, my cup is full of sunshine wine!
Sunshine wine, an' diamonds of dew
Sweet dreams to find and a faith that'll come true
Bird's golden songs, the silver dawn's, are yours an' they're mine, Oh yeah!
Life's beautiful, my cup is full of sunshine wine! ( Sunshine wine! )
In the eyes of the world, what I own may seem small
In the eyes of my girl, I need nothing at all, nothing at all
I've got sunshine wine ( Sunshine wine! ) an' dandelion gold ( Dandelion gold! )
True love is mine ( True love is mine! ) an' there's peace in my soul ( Peace in my soul! )
I own a castle in the air and everything's fine, fine , fine

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly flow the days,
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers,
Blossoming even as they gaze . . .
Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset!
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears . . .
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears . . .
( Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset . . . )
I'm gonna buy you a big hat with feathers an' plumes
I'm gonna buy you a mansion with sixty thousand rooms
An' that ain't all . . . no that ain't all!
I'm gonna buy you powder, I'm gonna buy you paint
Gonna fix you up an' make you look like somethin' you ain't
An' that ain't all . . . no that ain't all!
I'm gonna buy you a fur piece, I'm gonna buy you gloves
I'll buy you anything if you will give me all of your love
An' that ain't all ( That ain't all! ) no that ain't all ( That ain't all! )
I'm gonna buy you a Rolls Royce, get you a chauffeur too
But the chauffeur's gonna be a woman just like you
An' that ain't all ( That ain't all! ) no that ain't all ( That ain't all! )
I'm gonna buy you dresses, 'till your wardrobe falls
You're gonna die of old age before you wear them all
An' that ain't all ( That ain't all! ) that ain't all ( That ain't all! )
If we're both a livin' in nineteen ninety-five
they will have a pill by then to keep us both alive
An' that ain't all ( That ain't all! ) that ain't all ( That ain't all! )
All these things I'll buy you, if you'll just wait for me
'cause I'll be out of prison in nineteen eighty-three
An' that is all ( And that is all! ) that is all ( And that is all! )
That is all ( And that is all! ) that is all!
Thank heaven for little girls
for little girls get bigger every day!
Thank heaven for little girls
they grow up in the most delightful way!
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
one day will flash and send you crashin' thru the ceilin'
Thank heaven for little girls
thank heaven for them all,
no matter where no matter who
for without them, what would little boys do?
Thank heaven . . . thank heaven . . .
Thank heaven for little girls!
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays, you can't beat home, sweet home

Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
>From Pennsylvania folks are trav'lin' down to Dixie's sunny shore
>From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays

If you want to be happy in a million ways

A fellow needs a girl, to sit by his side
At the end of a weary day
To sit by his side and listen to him talk
And agree with the things he'll say!
A fellow needs a girl, to hold in his arms
When the rest of the world goes wrong
To hold in his arms and know that she believes
That her fellow is wise and strong!
When things go right and his job's well done
He wants to share the prize he's won
If no one shares and no one cares
Where's the fun of a job well done, or a prize you've won?
A fellow needs a home, his own kind of home
But to make this dream come
A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!
A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!
A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails
an' all the wood I can find
I'll build me a cabin on top of the hill
got all the plans in my mind . . .
Where the tree tops talk to the wind
where the eagle flies
I'll bring her to see it the minute I'm through
won't she light up with surprise!
A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails
an' just my two hands, but with some help from above
The walls will start risin', the roof will go on
the final touch will be love . . .
Where the tree tops talk to the wind
where the eagle flies
The preacher will bless us as we hurry to
our happy home in the skies . . .
As soon as we're married,
we're movin' in to
our happy home in the skies . . .
( A hatchet, a hammer, a bucket of nails . . . )
Our happy home in the skies . . .
A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sittin' there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there,
To hold you tight
An' no one there
You can kiss goodnight . . .
A room is still a room
Even when there's nothin' there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us
Are far apart
An' one of us
Has a broken heart . . .
Now an' then
I call your name
An' suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends
It ends in tears . . .
Darling have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair
An' turn the key
Oh please be there
Still in love with me . . .
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair
An' turn the key
Oh please be there
Still in love with me . . .
That certain night, the night we met,
there was magic abroad in the air
there were angel's dining at the Ritz
and a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square!
I may be right and I may be wrong,
but I'm perfectly willing to swear
that when you turned and smiled at me
a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square!
The moon that lingered over London town
or 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 when we kissed and said goodnight
a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square!
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 Berkeley Square!
I know 'cause I was there
that night in Berkeley Square!
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 heart waits there, in San Francisco,
Above the blue and windy sea.
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
Your golden sun will shine for me
If I am fancy free,
And love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
There's somethin' callin' me
From way out yonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
I've got to give vent to my emotions,
I'm only content havin' my way . . .
Hmm, there is no other life,
Of which I'm fonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
No cares!
No strings!
My heart,
It has wings!
If I am fancy free,
And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
If I am fancy free,
And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
In my soul!
The Gypsy, in my soul!
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear,
Are still inside my head!
The kindest words I'll ever know,
Are waiting to be said!
The most entrancing sight of all,
Is yet for me to see!
And the dearest love in all the world,
Is waiting somewhere for me,
Is waiting somewhere,
Somewhere for me!
And the dearest love in all the world,
Is waiting somewhere for me,
Is waiting somewhere,
Somewhere for me!
VERSE:
To the tables down at Morey's,
To the place where Louie dwells,
To the dear old Temple Bar we love so well,
Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled
With their glasses raised on high,
And the magic of their singing cast its spell.
Yes, the magic of their singing,
Of the songs we love so well,
"Shall l Wasting" and "Mavourneen" and the rest,
We will serenade our Louie!
While life and voice shall last!
Then we'll pass and be forgotten like the rest.
CHORUS:
We're poor little lambs
Who have lost our way
Baa, baa baa!
We're little black sheep
Who have gone a-stray
Baa, baa, baa!
Gentlemen songsters off on a spree
Doomed from here to eternity
Lord, have mercy on such as we
Baa, baa, baa!
Oh! There’s no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam,
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze,
For the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home!
I met a man who lives in Tennessee, and he was heading for,
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie!
From Pennsylvania folks are travellin’
Down the Dixie sunny shore,
From Atlantic to Pacific,
Gee the traffic is terrific!
Oh! There’s no place like home for the holidays,
‘Cause no matter how far away you roam,
If you want to be happy in a million ways,
For the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home!
Oh! There’s no place like home for the holidays . . .

Ho-ly God, we praise Thy Name;
Lord of all, we bow be-fore Thee!
All on earth Thy scep-ter claim,
All in heav-en a-bove a-dore Thee;
In-fin-ite Thy vast do-main,
Ev-er-last-ing is Thy reign.
Hark! the loud ce-les-tial hymn
An-gel choirs a-bove are rais-ing,
Cher-u-bim and ser-a-phim,
In un-ceas-ing chor-us prais-ing;
Fill the heav-ens with sweet ac-cord:
Ho-ly, ho-ly, ho-ly, Lord.
Lo! the a-pos-tol-ic train
Join the sa-cred Name to hal-low;
Pro-phets swell the loud re-frain,
And the white-robed mar-tyrs fol-low;
And from morn to set of sun,
Through the Church the song goes on.
Ho-ly Fa-ther, Ho-ly Son,
Ho-ly Spir-it, Three we name Thee;
While in es-sence on-ly One,
Un-di-vid-ed God we claim Thee;
And a-dor-ing bend the knee,
While we own the mys-ter-y.

I really thought I knew it all concerning sweet romance
'Cause when it came to purdy girls I'd always take a chance
I felt that I could handle love with just a little luck
Then all at once you hit me like a ten tonne diesel truck!
Hit an' run, hit an' run, you left me cryin' there
Wasted love, a victim of a hit an' run affair!
Had your fun, now you're done, my bleeding heart is bare
Couldn't see that it would be a hit an' run affair!
< instrumental break >
The way that Grant took Richmond, was the way you captured me
You roped me and ya tied me, I was helpless as can be!
You told me purdy stories and you said you'd never stray
Ya picked me up an' knocked me down, and then you ran away!
Hit an' run, hit an' run, you left me cryin' there
Wasted love, a victim of a hit an' run affair!
Had your fun, now you're done, my bleeding heart is bare
Couldn't see that it would be a hit an' run affair!
< instrumental break >
Hit an' run, hit an' run, you left me cryin' there
Wasted love, a victim of a hit an' run affair!

Here we come a-caroling,
Among the leaves so green!
Here we coma a-wandering,
So fair to be seen!
Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!
We are not daily beggars,

But we are friendly neighbours,
Whom you have seen before!
Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year!
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
We wish you a Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year
Here comes heaven again
Get that angel face
You don't need a halo or wings
You can do such fabulous things!
With eyes that lull me to dreams
Lips that say, say when
You walk by and everybody starts to sigh
Here comes heaven again!

Hello, young lovers, whoever 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, an' faithful, an' 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 to fly down the street in a trance!
You fly down the street,
On a chance that you'll meet,
And you meet, not really by chance.
Don't cry, young lovers, whatever 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,
I've had a love of my own!
< instrumental verse >
I've had a love of my own like yours,
I've had a love of my own!

with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II , 1951
Hes got the whole world, in His hands,
Hes got the whole wide world, in His hands,
Hes got the whole world, in His hands,
Hes got the whole world in His hands . . .
Hes got the little tiny baby, in His hands,
Hes got the little tiny baby, in His hands,
Hes got the little tiny baby, in His hands,
Hes got the whole world in His hands . . .
Hes got you and me brother, in His hands,
Hes got you and me sister, in His hands,
Hes got you and me brother, in His hands,
Hes got the whole world in His hands . . .
Hes got everybody here, in His hands,
Hes got everybody here, in His hands,
Hes got everybody here, in His hands,
Hes got the whole world in His hands . . .
Hes got the, whole world, in His hands,
Hes got the, whole world, in His hands,
Hes got the, whole world, in His hands,
Hes got the whole,
World,
His,
Hands!
Traditional gospel song adapted by Geoff Love
arranged by Joe Reisman
He who loves is like the man on the mountain.
He who loves stands very high,
high enough to touch a sunbeam,
close enough to light the . . .
brightest star from down below in the valley.
Just reach up.
It can be done.
Would you like to paint a rainbow?
Would you like to see what . . .
blue birds see each time they fly?
He who loves stands very high.
Every single day is a new beginning,
when it all goes wrong, start all over,
just remember love keeps the whole world spinning,
it¹s the last word in happiness.
Smile at the people who haven¹t been kind to you.
Show them what love can mean in this world.
He who loves is like the man on the mountain.
He who loves stands very high.
Anyone can touch a sunbeam.
anyone can light the . . .
brightest star up in the sky.
Every heart has wings to fly.
He who loves stands very high.
Music by Burt Bacharach
with lyrics by Hal David
O holy night
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night
of the dear Saviour's birth!
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
'till He appeared
and the soul felt it's worth!
A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks
a new an' glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine O night,
O night divine!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine O night,
O night divine!
O holy night
O night divine
Music by Adolphe Charles Adam, 1803-1856
Words by Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure, 1847 - Tr. John Sullivan Dwight
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee,
Even though it be a cross,
That raiseth me . . .
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee . . .
Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone . . .
Yet in my dreams I'll be,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee . . .
There let the way appear,
Steps unto Heaven,
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given!
Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee . . .

A doodle de doo, a doodle de doo
a doo doo doodle dee-ody ( Doodle de doo, doodle de doo )
A doodle doo, doodle de doo
I love to hear a band that's playin' a doodle de doo
A doodlin' to the noodlin' rag ( Oh, the noodlin' rag! )
I love to keep my honey swayin' a doodle de doo
A doodlin' to the noodlin' rag ( Yes, the noodlin' rag! )
Hear that happy rhythm
Makes me happy with 'em
All night I shout to the leader
'Mister, won't you play it again?'
I want to hear the clarinet go a doodle de doo
A doodlin' to the noodlin' rag ( Play the noodlin' rag! )
An' when the trombone and the trumpet
start to noodle along
Yes Sir! It's my favorite song!
'Cause it makes my baby wanna cuddle up closer
'Cause it never lets my feet drag
I love to hear a band that's playin' a doodle de doo
A doodlin' to the tune called the noodlin' rag! ( We love a noodlin' song! )
I love to noodle along!
A doodle de doo, a doodle de doo

Yes, hear that happy rhythm ( Ha ha ha hah! )
Makes me happy with 'em ( Ha ha ha hah! )

A doodlin' to the noodlin' rag

Yes Sir! It's my favorite song!
'Cause it makes my baby wanna cuddle up closer

My little baby, loves me loves me,
my little baby, needs me needs me,
my girl and I can't stay apart,
because she always wants me wants me
wants me near her heart!
My little baby's lonely lonely
unless she feels I love her only
my little girl just won't feel right
unless I'm near enough to hug an' hold her
squeeze her tight!
I'd like to please her,
I never tease her
but always tell her that I care
she's such a treasure
I get such pleasure
knowin' that her love is somethin'
I'll always share!
My little baby thrills me thrills me
because her lovin' chills me chills me
and all my life I know that she'll be
the only one who'll ever be the only one for me!
( My little baby loves me, yes she does!
My little baby loves me, yes she does! )
I'd like to please her,
I never tease her
but always tell her that I care ( I care, I care! )
she's such a treasure
I get such pleasure
knowin' that her love is somethin'
I'll always share!
My little baby thrills me thrills me
because her lovin' chills me chills me
and all my life I know that she'll be
the only one who'll ever be the only one for me!
. . . the only one who'll ever be
the only one for me!

This is the story
'bout Perry who came home
late one night!
Must have been about a
two or three am,
something like that!
Gotta get me some sleep,
he yawned as he turned out the light!
Haaw!
I guess I was too tired to do any reading!
Whether he dreamed what happened,
or if he really heard it,
he wouldn't bet
but he swears it sounded like two cats
singin' a duet!
Come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
This is me, your boyfriend 'Tom' ( N'yot N'yow! )
Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
This is old Tom, 'Tom' the atom-bomb! ( N'yot N'yow! )
We assure you we'd come y'out
if only we knew how
They tell us that you really are
the cat's 'MEOW'!
Ah! come y'out, come y'out, come y'out my pretty kitten
Now? ( N'yot N'yow! ) Oh!
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our croonin' kitten
We will serenade the moon! N'yot N'yow!
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our little kitten
We will sing a little tune! N'yot N'yow!
When the folks got home tonight at twelve or thereabout
They locked the door and they forgot to put me-owt!
Oowah! 'Alone from night to night you'll find me!'
Come y'out, come y'out,
come y'out our croonin' kitten
Mee-owh! Heh heh
OK, now!
Words and Music by Dick Manning
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 an’ talk
And then 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!

Hmmm!
My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing
My lady has the sparkle of a diamond ring!
When purple shadows fall and silver moonlight beams
My lady loves to dance in my dreams!
She loves a carousel, a roll-y coaster ride
A party or a picnic by the ocean-side!
An' like a laughin' brook that dances in the sun
My lady has a barrel of fun!
Life is a gay-thing, play-thing, hip-o-ray-thing,
Not a worry, not a care!
If there's a trombone a-tootin', a flute'r a-flootin'
Sure as shootin' we'll be there! ( We'll be there! )
My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing
A Schottische, a Polka or a Highland Fling!!
An' when we kiss goodnight, the moment we're apart
My lady loves to dance, lady loves to sing,
Sing and dance in my heart!

I've grown accustomed to her face,
she almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
she whistles night an' noon
Her smiles, her frowns,
her ups, her downs
are second nature to me now
like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent
and content, before we met
surely I could always be that way again, and yet,
I've grown accustomed to her looks
accustomed to her voice
accustomed to her face!
I've got you under my skin,
I've got you deep in the heart of me,
So deep in my heart . . . you're really a part of me,
I've got you under my skin!
I 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 'Darling' I know so well,
I've got you under my skin!
I'd sacrifice anything, come what might,
For the sake of having you near!
In spite of the warning voice, that comes in the night,
And repeats, and repeats, in my ear . . .
"Don't you know little fool . . . you never can win!
Use your mentality, wake up to reality!"
But each time I do . . . just the thought of you,
Makes me 'stop' before I begin,
'Cause I've got you . . . Hmm I got you,
I got you . . . under my skin!
My one and only heart,
My one and only heart,
You’ll never more be lonely,
My one and only heart!
I had five dollars from last week’s pay,
Some picture postcards from santa fe,
I saved all that but I gave away,
My one and only heart!
I met this angel in joe’s café,
The livin’ image of salla mae,
In no time even, I gave away,
My one and only heart!
My one and only heart,
My one and only heart,
You’ll never more be lonely,
My one and only heart!
I’ve got one lighter that’s off the beam,
A pawn shop ticket I can’t redeem,
I saved all that but I gave a dream,
My one and only heart!
My poor knees trembled,
My whole frame shook,
She had me flippin’ with just one look,
In one split second she went an’ took,
My one and only heart!
I’ve got two papers with last week’s news,
Some extra laces for last year’s shoes,
I saved all that but I had to lose,
My one and only heart!
Well I’m real grateful to joe’s café,
A blue-eyed plateful is sure ok,
And I’m not sorry I gave away,
My one and only heart!
You’ll never more be lonely,
My one and only, never lonely,
My one and only heart!
It would be a comfort to know you never doubt me
even though I give you cause most every day
Sometimes I think that you'd be better off without me
although I love you in my own peculiar way!
Don't doubt my love if sometimes my mind should wander
to a suddenly remembered yesterday
My thoughts could never stray too long away from you
because I love you in my own peculiar way!
Though I may not always be the way you'd have me be
though my faults may grow in number day by day
Let no one ever say I've ever been untrue
I'll always love you in my own peculiar way!
I'll always love you . . .
in my own peculiar way!
Raindrops on roses,
And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles,
And warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages,
Tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .
Cream colored ponies,
An' crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells an' sleigh bells,
An' schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .
Girls in white dresses,
With blue satin sashes,
Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters,
That melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad . . .
Roses....hmmm kittens...
Kettles.......mittens....
La dee da, la dee da,
La dee da, da,
These are a few of my favorite things . . .
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And little by little my heavy heart sings . . .
And then I don't feel so bad . . .
My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine,
You make me smile with my heart,
Your looks are laughable, un-photographical,
Yet you're my favourite work of art . . .
Is your figure less than Greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smiling?
But don't change a hair for me,
Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day . . .
Each day is Valentine's Day . . .
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 an' talk
And then my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,

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!
Pretty little face
that face just knocks me off of my feet!
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's in a kind of whirl
to my mind, she's my kind of girl!
Pretty little face
that face just knocks me off of my feet!
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's in a kind of whirl
to my mind, she's my kind of girl!
And my heart's kind of full of joy
because she told me
I'm her kind of boy!
That lady's my kind of girl!
Forever and ever,
My heart will be true!
Sweetheart, forever,
I’ll wait for you!
We both made a promise,
That we’d never part,
Let’s seal it with a kiss,
Forever my sweetheart!
Let bygones be bygones forever,
We’ll fall in love once again . . .
So, let’s tell the world of our new love divine,
Forever and ever you’ll be mine!
Forever and ever,
My heart will be true!
Sweetheart, forever,
I’ll wait for you!
We both made a promise,
That we’d never part,
Let’s seal it with a kiss,
Forever my sweetheart!
Let bygones be bygones forever,
We’ll fall in love once again . . .
So, let’s tell the world of our new love divine,
Forever and ever you’ll be mine!
We both made a promise,
That we’d never part,
Let’s seal it with a kiss,
Forever my sweetheart!
Bygones be bygones forever . . .
At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
and to find it how often I've tried
but my life is a race, just a wild goose chase
and my dreams have all been denied!
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame?
I wonder if it could be me?
I'm always chasing rainbows
watching clouds drifting by!
My schemes are just like all of my dreams
ending in the sky!
Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain!
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain!
Believe me . . .
I'm always chasing rainbows
waiting to find a little blue bird in vain!
( Rainbows seem to fade away! )
Sometimes in the morning, when shadows are deep,
I lie here beside you, just watching you sleep,
And sometimes I whisper, what I'm thinking of,
My cup runneth over with love . . .
Sometimes in the evening, when you do not see,
I study the small things, you do constantly,
I memorize moments, that I'm fondest of,
My cup runneth over with love . . .
In only a moment, we both will be old,
We won't even notice the world turning cold.
And so, in this moment, with sunlight above,
My cup runneth over with love . . .
With love . . .
When I think how soon we run out of time,
Lookin' back at what I've done in my time,
My accomplishments are few,
But for my days of loving you!
If I've never gone too far in this world,
When I might have made my mark in this world,
I had better things to do,
I had my days of loving you!
Let the others go their way,
Seeking more and more,
Give me just one yesterday,
Filled with love like yours!
I have nothin' to regret in this life,
I've had all there is to get in this life,
Once I lived a dream come true,
I had my days of loving you!
Once I lived a dream come true,
I had my days of loving you!
I had my days of loving you!
If there is someone lovelier than you
Then I am blind, a man without a mind
If there is someone lovelier than you
But no, I'm not blind, my eyes have travelled everywhere
In hopes that I might find, a creature half so fair
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful, such beauty can't be true!
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful, such beauty can't be true!
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'd love you
If-I-loved-you
If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why can€™t I paint you?
The words would never show,
the you I€™ve come to know . . .
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There€™s no one home but you,
you€™re all that€™s left me to . . .
And when my love for life
is running dry,
You come and 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,
Spinning slowly down to die,
I€™d spend the end with you
when the world was through . . .
Then one by one
the stars would all go out . . .
Then you and I
would simply fly away!
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'd love you
If-I-loved-you
Hmmmmmm!
Lets take an old-fashioned walk,
Im just burstin with talk.
What a tale could be told, if we went for
An old-fashioned walk!
Lets take a stroll thru the park,
Down a lane where its dark,
And a heart thats controlled, may relax on
An old-fashioned walk!
I know, for a couple who seem to be miles apart,
Theres nothin like walkin and having a heart to heart.
I know a girl who declined, couldnt make up her mind,
She was wrapped up an sold, comin home from
An old-fashioned walk!
Some couples go for a buggy ride,
When they start caring a lot!
Others will bicycle side by side,
Out to some romantic spot!
Some take a ride on a bus,
But that would not do for us . . .
Lets take an old-fashioned walk,
Im just burstin with talk.
What a tale could be told, if we went for
An old-fashioned walk!
Lets take a stroll thru the park,
Down a lane where its dark . . .
And a heart thats controlled, may relax on
An old-fashioned walk!
I know, for a couple who seem to be miles apart,
Theres nothin like walkin and having a heart to heart.
He knows a girl who declined, couldnt make up her mind . . .
She was wrapped up an sold, comin home from
An old-fashioned walk!
He knows a girl who declined, couldnt make up her mind . . .
She was wrapped up an sold, comin home from
An old-fashioned walk!
~ from the 1949 Broadway musical production 'Miss Liberty'
Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
With Mitchell Ayres' Orchestra and Chorus
( Theme from "Love Story" )
Where do I begin ?
To tell the story of how great a love can be,
The sweet love story that is older than the sea,
The simple truth about the love she brings to me,
Where do I start ?
With her first hello!
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine,
There'd never be another love, another time,
She came into my life and made the living fine,
She fills my heart . . .
She fills my heart with very special things,
With angels' songs , with wild imaginings,
She fills my soul with so much love,
That anywhere I go, I'm never lonely,
With her along, who could be lonely ?
I reach for her hand, it's always there . . .
How long does it last ?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day ?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say,
I know I'll need her 'till the stars all burn away
And she'll be there . . .
She'll be there . . .
( I Will Love You Just The Same )
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you just the same;
I will only call you sweetheart,
That will always be your name . . .
Through a garden filled with roses
Down the sunset trail we'll stray;
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you as today . . .
Through a garden filled with roses
Down the sunset trail we'll stray;
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you as today . . .
When you're smilin'
When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
When you're laughin'
When you're laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through.
But, when you're cryin',
You bring on the rain,
So, stop you're sighin',
Be happy again!
Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
When you're smilin'
When you are smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
An' when you're laughin'
An' really laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through.
But, when you're cryin',
You bring on the rain,
So, stop you're sighin',
And be happy again!
Oh! Keep on smilin' ( Keep right on smilin' )
'Cause when you're smilin' ( 'Cause when you're smilin' )
The whole world smiles with you.
Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you!
When you're in love,
When you're in love,
There is no way on earth to hide it!
When you're in love,
Really in love,
You simply let your heart decide it!
With every sigh,
With every glance,
With every heartbeat,
You confide it!
You'll want the world to know it too,
When you're in love as I'm in love with you!
( Listen . . . shh . . . listen! There, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
are sung by the haunted wind! )
Down in Nualo, Laredo,
on the border of ol' Mexico
there's a legend they tell of a cowboy,
a tall Texas drover named "Joe"
but the braseros just call him "Gringo",
the gringo who played the guitar
to the Mexican girl that he loved so,
'neath the misty Mexico star
( Listen . . . shh . . . listen! There, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
are sung by the haunted wind! )
He sang of the day when they'd marry,
when the round-up was over an' through
and great were the plans for their wedding,
and for dreams they dreamed would come true
But he never came back from the round-up,
a stampeding herd ran him down
but, sometimes, strange and beautiful music
of a guitar is heard through the town
( Listen . . . shh . . . listen! There, it's playing again . . .
Gringo's guitar playing songs of desire
are sung by the haunted wind! )
Alas! my love you do me wrong
to cast me off discourteously
when I have loved you so long,
delighting in your company!
Greensleeves is my delight,
Greensleeves is all my joy
Greensleeves, my heart of gold
and who but my Lady Greensleeves?
I have been ready at your hand
to grant whatever you would crave!
I have both wagered life and land
your love and good will for to have!
Greensleeves is my delight,
Greensleeves is all my joy
Greensleeves, my heart of gold
who but my Lady Greensleeves?
Well, I will pray to God on high
that thou my constant sea may see
and that yet once before I die
thou will doth say to love me!
Greensleeves is my delight,
Greensleeves is all my joy
Greensleeves, my heart of gold
and who but my Lady Greensleeves?
Who but my Lady Greensleeves?
Where is love?
Does it fall from skies above?
Is it underneath the willow tree that I've been dreaming of?
Where is she,
Who I close my eyes to see??
Will I ever know the sweet 'hello' that's meant for only me?
Who can say where she may hide?
Must I travel far an' wide,
till I am beside the someone who, I can mean something to?
Where, where is love?
< instrumental break >
Where is she,
Who I close my eyes to see??
Will I ever know the sweet 'hello' that's meant for only me?
Every night I kneel an' pray, let tomorrow be the day,
when I see the face of someone who, I can mean something to!
Where, where is love?
Words and Music by Lionel Bart , 1963
Where does a little tear come from?
Where does a little . . . tear . . . come from?
It comes from a heart that's been broken apart,
that's where a little tear comes from!
Where does a broken heart come from?
Where does a broken . . . heart . . . come from?
It comes when you find that you love the rovin' kind,
that's where a broken heart comes from!
Where does the rovin' kind come from?
Where does rovin' . . . kind . . . come from?
From the wind and restless river that wanders on forever
that's where the rovin' comes from!
Where does the restless river come from?
Where does restless . . . river . . . come from?
It comes from little tears that are shed through the years
that's where the restless river comes from . . .
. . . that's where the restless river comes from . . .

When you're away dear,
how weary the lonesome hours,
sunshine seems gray dear,
the fragrance has left the flowers . . .
Ever I hear you in seeming
whispering soft love words to me
Ah if I knew it were but dreaming
n'er to be . . .
Then, when you're near me
there's n'yot that I strive to do
save to endear me
more fondly my love to you . . .
Never again let us part dear,
I'd die without you my own,
hold me again to your heart,
I love you alone . . .
( Never again let us part dear,
I'd die without you my own . . . )
. . . hold me again to your heart,
I love you alone . . .
Love you my own . . .
love you alone!
When you come to the end of the day,
And the night calls your worries away,
Do you ever watch the setting sun,
And dream of things that you might have done?
Do you turn from your work with a smile?
Do you feel that it's all worth the while?
As you dream the twilight hours away,
When you come to the end of the day!
Girl of my dreams, I love you
Honest I do, you are so sweet
If I could just hold your charms
Again in my arms
Then, life would be complete!
Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!
And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!
Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!
And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!
Gigi . . . am I a fool without a mind
or have I merely been to blind to realize?
Oh Gigi . . . why you've been growin' up
before my very eyes!
Gigi . . . you're not at all the funny
awkward little girl I knew
Oh no, overnight there's been a breathless
change in you!
Gigi . . . why you were tremblin' on the brink
was I out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star?
Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
and your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
has made you the way you are?
Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
and your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
has made you the way you are?
What a day this has been,
What a rare mood I'm in,
Why it's almost like being love . . .
There's a smile on my face,
For the whole human race,
Why it's almost like being love . . .
All the music of life seems to be,
Like a bell that is ringin' for me . . .
And from the way that I feel,
When that bell starts to peal,
I would swear I was fallin'
I could swear I was fallin'
It's almost like being love . . .
The melody was played 'pianissimo'
The harmony was so very sweet
I can't remember the name of that song
But I do remember dancing in your arms
And then a voice came through 'pianissimo'
With lovely words that seemed to repeat
I love you darlin' but all I recall
Are the words you whispered dancing in my arms
'Pianissimo' means 'soft n' low'
And soft and low were your sighs
Darling, now I know that tender glow
Was love shining in your eyes
And then we stole away 'pianissimo'
And kissed goodnight while stars danced above
I can't remember the name of that song
But I do recall it helped us fall in love
< instrumental break >
hmmm . . .
And then we stole away 'pianissimo'
And kissed goodnight while stars danced above
I can't remember the name of that song
But I do recall it helped us fall in love

Many a year ago in old Sorrento
a certain ditty was quite the thing
Whenever a mother rocked her baby in Sorrento
this little ditty she used to sing:
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!
All the stars are in the skies ready to say 'goodnight'
can't you see your doll is sleepy, too?
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
while she sings a lullaby to you:
Oh, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!
( Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa, and chi-lawa )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah ( la goombah! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!
( Chi, chi, chi-baba! )
Chi, chi, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah ( la goombah! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!
All the stars are in the skies ready to say 'goodnight, goodnight'
can't you see your doll is sleepy, too?
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
while she sings a lullaby to you, ever so sweetly!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An' chi-lawa kook-a la goombah ( la la goombah! chi-baba! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
my bambino go to sleep!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa

Where the jungle trees are tall
Grows a flower sweet to see
It's a purdy flower they call "Chincherinchee!"
There a boy sang all day long
To a maiden tenderly
And he called her in his song "Chincherinchee!"
While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"
Everyone will agree
She's as sweet as can be
She's so kissable and caress-able "Chincherinchee!"
Everybody can see
How exciting is she
She's embraceable, irreplaceable "Chincherinchee!"
While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade . . .
Every night they used to meet
By a tall banyan tree
Where he sang his heart to sweet "Chincherinchee!"
While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"
"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"
It is "He", Christ who is born today
See Him crying in the manger
King of Heaven
Son of God
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
There He lies
there with the lam'kin
Only swaddle for his garment
With his Holy Mother Mary
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory, Almighty God!
And on Earth,
Peace to All Men
Hear the joyful angels singing
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
He is born,
let us adore Him
Christ the Lord
King of Kings
Prince of Peace
for All the Universe
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Everyone, everywhere
feels the thrill in the air
Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve!
All the streets snowy white
as they sing "Silent Night"
on this holy holiday eve!
All the kids are so good
go to bed when they should
mustn't take any chances tonight!
They will sleep with a smile
as they dream all the while
of the gifts they'll receive
Christmas Eve!
La, la la, la, la la, la, la la
la, la la . . .
If they gave me a choice
if they left it to me
I know just what my present would be
Peace on earth to all men
and good will once again
all the things we truly believe
since that long, long ago Christmas Eve!
La, la la, la, la la, la, la la
la, la la Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve!

The moon was shining bright in Carolina
the night we said goodbye so tenderly
and now that I'm away from Carolina
won't somebody tell the moon for me:
Oh, Carolina Moon keep shining
shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina Moon, I'm pining,
pining for the place I long to be
How I'm hopin' tonight you'll go
go to the right window
scatter your light
say I'm all right please do!
Tell her that I'm blue an' lonely
dreamy Carolina Moon!
Tell her that I'm blue an' lonely

You ask how much I need you; well, I'll explain.
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain.
You ask how long I'll love you; I'll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I'll still be loving you.
BRIDGE:
Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.
I'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom;
I'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.
(Return to bridge and pick up.)
Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh! Your Daddy's rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby, don't you cry . . .
One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .
Standing by . . .
It must have been cold there in my shadow,
To never have sunlight on your face?
You've been content to let me shine,
You always walked a step behind.
I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength,
Only a face without a name,
I never once heard you complain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings!
It might have appeared to go unnoticed,
But I've got it all here in my heart!
I want you to know I know the truth,
I would be nothin' without you!
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I'd like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
‘Cause you are the wind beneath my wings,
You are the wind beneath my wings!

There'll soon be a rainbow,
I heard a raindrop say,
he sang of the warm glow,
as we pitter-pattered away . . .
How long have we hoped to hear,
such happy words of cheer,
the sweetest music to my ear?
There'll soon be a rainbow,
I'm sure the raindrop knew . . .
We'll soon see the rain go,
just let the sunshine come through . . .
Then once the colours come to blend,
into a perfect rainbow,
for a happy end . . .
There'll soon be a rainbow,
I'm sure the raindrop knew . . .
And we will soon see the rain go,
just to let the sunshine come through . . .
Then once the colours come to blend,
into a perfect rainbow,
for a happy end . . .
. . . happy end . . .

There must be a way to help me forget that we're through,
there must be a way to stop me from dreaming of you.
There must be a star in the skies that isn't reflecting your eyes,
I just don't know how to disguise, how much I miss you!
There must be a song that doesn't remind me of you,
there must be a kiss to thrill me like yours used to do!
I looked for a way to be happy, happy with somebody new,
Oh there must be a way, but I can't find that way without you!

There's a kind of a hush, all over the world, tonight,
all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love!
You know what I mean?
Just the two of us, with nobody else in sight,
and I'm feelin' good just holdin' you tight!
So, listen very carefully, closer now and you will see
what I mean ( see what I mean? ) it isn't a dream ( I mean, it isn't a dream! )
the only sound that you will hear is when I whisper in your ear
'I love you!' ( I love you! ) forever and ever!
There's a kind of a hush, all over the world, tonight,
all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love!
There's a kind of a hush ( kind of a hush! )
all over the world! ( all over the world, tonight! )
All over the world ( you can hear the sound of lovers in love! )
You know what I mean?
Just the two of us ( two of us! ) and nobody else in sight,
there's nobody else and I'm feelin' good,
just holdin' you tight ( ever so tightly! )
So, listen very carefully, closer now and you will see
what I mean ( see what I mean? ) it isn't a dream ( I mean, it isn't a dream! )
the only sound that you will hear is when I whisper in your ear

There's a big blue cloud next to heaven
where all wishes are stored
old an' new . . .
And each day an angel from heaven
looks them through,
picks a few to come true . . .
There are wishes from a kiddies prayer
from folks who are apart,
wished from afar . . .
From a grandma in her rockin' chair
and from a lover's heart,
wished on a star . . .
There's a big blue cloud next to heaven
where all wishes are stored
old an' new . . .
So be patient, leave it to heaven
and your wish will come true
someday soon . . .

Yes?
What's the matter?
Ah! With all the girls in the world
I gotta get tangled up with an acrobat!
What kinda crack is that?
Well, listen . . .
I gulped a little goldfish
from a goldfish bowl
Well, that proves your age!
Once I spent a weekend
on a cold flagpole!
Look Ma, no hands!
Went over old Niagara
in a leaky canoe
You betcha!
I even charmed a cobra
with a blue kazoo
I tied my little cousin
to a railroad track
Ouch!
I put the next to last straw
on the camel's back
But the LAST STRAW!
I mean the very LAST STRAW!
was to fall in love with you . . .
Mr. Como!
Are you quite through?
Well!
Well, listen to this . . .
I went and dug for oysters,
in the Klondike Rush,
I lost a whole safari
in an underbrush
That isn't easy!
Went over the Sahara
on an old pair of skies
I did some acrobatics
on the high trapeze
Look Man no hands!
I found a green banana
in some cracker jack
I placed the next to last straw
on the camel's back
But the LAST STRAW!
I mean the very LAST STRAW!
was to fall in love with you . . .
All right MAN, top that!
I made an ocean voyage
on a floatin' log
That's nothin'
I've held a conversation
with a talking dog . . .
Victor of course!
I saved up nearly twenty-thousand
pop bottle tops
Well, listen to this . . .
I designed the paper pants
for loin lamb chops
I tried to find a barber
who would cut my hair
But Baby Doll,
whatever maka you picka my chair?
Well, that's the LAST STRAW!
I mean the very LAST STRAW!
'cause I fell in love with you . . .
But Perry . . .
You winked at me in Woolworth's
on the second floor!
But I thought you were the Hutton girl
that owned that BIG store!
Well, that's the LAST STRAW!
I mean the very LAST STRAW!
'cause I fell in love with you . . .

everyone I know
whispers that you're growin' tired of me
say it isn't so!
People say that you
found somebody new

say it isn't true!
Say that everything is still OK

Everybody is lookin' for an answer,
Now that you've tried your way,
Why don't you try my way?
Everybody is lookin' for a sunrise,
Peace of mind,
Is surely hard to find!
Why don't you think it over,
Before you step into oblivity?
Why don't you think it over,
Before you play your game with destiny?
Everybody is lookin' for an answer,
Now that you've tried your way,
Why don't you try my way?
Everybody is lookin' for a sunrise,
Peace of mind,
Is surely hard to find!
We'll always walk together,
In every kind of weather,
If you will only take my hand!
The joy of understanding,
Is ours without an ending,
Someday we'll find the promise land!
Everybody is lookin' for an answer,
Now that you've tried your way,
Why don't you try my way?
Everybody is lookin' for the sunrise,
Peace of mind,
Is surely hard to find! ( Hard to find! )
I hear the church bells ringin'
And now the songs they're singin'
I know you soon will take a stand . . .
The joy is in forgiving,
And all the while you're living,
You'll only find it's in the plan!
For the world is in His hand!
( In His hand! In His hand! )
Everybody is lookin' for an answer,
Now that you've tried your way,
Why don't you try my way?
Everybody is lookin' for the sunrise,
Peace of mind,
Is surely hard to find!
Everybody is lookin' for an answer,
( Now ) that you've tried your way,
Why don't you try my way?
Everybody is lookin' for the sunrise . . .
I peeked in to say goodnight,
And then I heard my child in prayer:
"And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair . . ."
All the stores were closed and shuttered,
All the streets were dark and bare . . .
In our town, no scarlet ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair . . .
Through the night my heart was aching,
Just before the dawn was breaking,
I peeked in and on her bed,
In gay profusion lying there,
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for her hair . . .
If I live to be two hundred,
I will never know from where,
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair!
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle
. . . in Seattle!
When it's time to leave your home and your loved ones
It's the hardest thing a boy can ever do
An' you pray that you will find someone warm an' sweet an' kind
But you're not sure what's waiting there for you!
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle
. . . in Seattle!
When you find your own true love, you will know it
By her smile, by the look in her eye
Scent of pine trees in the air, never knew a day so fair
It makes you feel so proud that you could cry!
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle
. . . in Seattle!
In Seattle . . . in Seattle . . . in Seattle!
It's the second time
I know I've seen you here before
It's no coincidence I'm sure
that once again my spirits soar
and the second time is always harder than the first
forgetting lines that I rehearsed,
I fear the best, I fear the worst
Love is great, it has ambition
unafraid makes no condition
when I say how much I love you
you'll feel I've known you
a thousand years . . .
And the second time is always harder than the first

Love is great, it has ambition
unafraid makes no condition

you'll feel I've known you
a thousand years . . .
. . . a thousand years . . .
Lately . . .
I find myself out gazin' at stars,
Hearing guitars,
Like someone in love . . .
Sometimes . . .
The things I do astound me,
Mostly . . .
Whenever you're around me . . .
Lately . . .
I seem to walk, as though I had wings,
Bump into things,
Like someone in love . . .
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
An' feelin' like someone in love . . .
I bump into things,
Like someone in love . . .
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
An' feelin' like someone in love . . .
Silent night Holy night
All is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother an' Child
Holy infant so tender an' mild
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia ( Alleluia! )
Christ the Saviour is born;
Christ the Saviour is born.
Christ the Saviour . . .
is born ( Alleluia! )
Silent night ( silent night! ) holy night ( holy night! )
Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth;
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Silver bells, silver bells
it's Christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling, hear them ring
soon it will be Christmas day!
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
dressed in holiday style
in the air there's a feeling of Christmas!
Children laughing, people passing
meeting smile after smile
and on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells ( silver bells! ) silver bells ( silver bells! )

Little man you're cryin', I know why you're blue,
Someone took your kiddy-car away,
Better go to sleep now,
Little man you've had a busy day . . .
Johnny won your marbles, tell you what we'll do,
Dad will get you new ones right away,
Better go to sleep now,
Little man you've had a busy day . . .
You've been playin' soldier, the battle has been won,
The enemy is out of sight,
Come along there soldier, put away your gun,
The war is over for tonight . . .
Time you stop your schemin', time your day was through,
Can't you hear the bugle softly say?
Time you should be dreamin',
Little man you've had a busy day . . .

a new born King to see pa ra pa pa pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa ra pa pa pum
To lay before the King pa ra pa pa pum,
ra pa pa pum, ra pa pa pum!
So to honour Him pa ra pa pa pum

That's fit to give our King pa ra pa pa pum

Shall I play for you pa ra pa pa pum ?

Mary nodded pa ra pa pa pum
The ox and lamb kept time pa ra pa pa pum
I played my drum for Him pa ra pa pa pum
I played my best for Him pa ra pa pa pum

Then He smiled at me pa ra pa pa pum
Me and my drum!

Sky, so vast as the sky
with far away clouds just wandering by . . .
Where did 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 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 an' searching for you,
like a river, that can't find the sea,
that would be me, without you my Dindi!
Don't you know Dindi . . .
I'd be running an' searching for you,
like a river, that can't find the sea,

Love, makes lovely out of lonely,
Love, with someone and only,
Time, time to take, time to share,
All that's hiding there, behind your heart,
As you start livin' for, a brighter, surer . . .
Love, to wrap around a romance,
Love, the dance of the slow dance,
One , one and one making more,
Than any one before,
By knowin' you're in love . . .
No more, waking up to no one there,
No more, handing out hands of solitaire,
And no more, New Year's Eve with the evening news,
No more blues . . . No more blues . . .
Love, love that speaks with a smile,
Knowing all the while, we wanna cry,
But you try smiling deeper, just to keep a . . .
Love, that writer's write their songs for,
Love, that poetry longs for,
You, and you alone,
Make my loneliness unknown,
An' so you own,
My love!
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 we found,
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!

Tell her you care, each time you speak,
Make it her birthday each day of the week,
Bring her nice things, sugar and spice things,
Roses and lollipops,
And lollipops and roses . . .
One day she’ll smile, next day she’ll cry,
Minute to minute, you’ll never know why!
Coax her, pet her, better yet get her,
Roses and lollipops,
And lollipops and roses . . .
We try acting grown up, but as a rule,
We’re all little children, fresh from school . . .
So, carry her books, that’s how it starts,
Fourteen to forty, they’re kids in their hearts . . .
Keep them handy, flowers and candy,
Roses and lollipops,
And lollipops and roses . . .
In your Easter bonnet
with all the frills upon it,
you'll be the grandest lady
in the Easter Parade!
I'll be all in clover,
and when they look you over
I'll be the proudest fella
in the Easter Parade!
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,
the photographers will snap us
and you'll find that you're
in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet
about your Easter bonnet
and of the girl I'm taking
to the Easter Parade!
Oh, I could write a sonnet
about your Easter bonnet
and of the girl I'm taking

( Together forever, forever together . . . )
A man and a woman, are meant for each other,
Are meant for each other, as husband and wife.
From this moment forward, I promise to love you,
I promise to love you, the rest of my life.
Together forever, forever together,
For this is the promise we give,
Together forever, forever together,
Through all of the sorrow and happiness,
Together as long as we live!
( Together forever, forever together . . . )
Childhood is a meadow,
for angels without wings . . .
Childhood is a meadow,
of toys an' rose-covered swings . . .
With singing brooks
for laughing hearts at play
and a fence made of rainbows
to keep every care away . . .
Childhood is a meadow,
and as the years depart,
it remains evergreen
and can only be seen
by those who are young in heart . . .

Turnaround, turnaround,
Turnaround and you're a young girl going out of the door!
Where are you goin' my little one, little one,
Where are you goin' my baby, my own?
Turnaround and you're two, turnaround and you're four,
Turnaround and you're a young girl going out of the door!
Turnaround, ( turnaround! )
Turnaround and you're a young girl . . .
Going out of the door!
Where are you going my little one, little one,
Little dirndls and petticoats, where have you gone?
Turnaround and you're tiny, turnaround and you're grown,
Turnaround and you're a young wife with babes of your own!
Turnaround, ( turnaround! )
Turnaround and you're a young wife . . .
With babes of your own!

É lei la donna mia, é lei
che non potró lasciare mai
perché ora lo so
per l'eternitá il nostro amore durerá.
É lei la donna mia, é lei
e a tutto il mondo grideró
che tutta la mia vita, la mia felicitá
é lei, é lei, é lei . . .
To you, I give my heart completely,
To you, my love, forevermore,
All that I possess,
My life and nothin' less,
I offer humbly at your door!
To me, you bring a glimpse of heaven,
The world I really never knew,
And in return I'll give,
As long as I may live,
Devotion, only to you!
Let's share the thrills that were made,
Especially for the young!
The dreams that never will fade,
Especially for the young!
Let's find out why a tender sigh,
Is the sweetest song ever sung,
Especially for the young! ( Especially for the young! )
Especially for the young! ( Especially for the young! )
So take my hand,
And walk with me!
The night is young,
And so are we!
Let's lose our hearts in a kiss,
Especially for the young!
For nights are made just like this,
Especially for the young!
The moon is there for all to share,
But we will find it was hung,
Especially for the young!
Especially for the young! ( Especially for the young! )
Especially for the young!
Climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!
Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!
You, climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
And for lunchin' you'll be munchin'

You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!

Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
I get a heart full of butterflies, lookin' into your dreamy eyes
Dream on ( Dream on! ) little dreamer dreamer on!
Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream on little dreamer dreamer on
Dream about a love so true, dream about how I love you
Dream on ( Dream on! ) little dreamer dreamer on!
You know I love you,
I love you, I need you so bad
Each night I realize,
when you close your dreamy eyes
Dream on little dreamer dreamer on

Dream about a love so fine, sweet as apple berry wine

You can do no wrong,
You're as right as the nightingale's song . . .
You're the nth of perfection,
Of them all, you're the star,
When you gaze in my direction,
Life is caviar . . .
I can barely wait,
'Till you make me your permanent date . . .
And from then on, sweet angel,
I shall worship you my life long,
For you can do no wrong . . .

( I'm On My Way To A Star )
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin' the world roll by
Sharin' a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!
On a cloud of love, we'll hear the music of night
We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!
( We can wink at the moon
as we hold each other tight . . . )
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!

------------------------
( Is To Love You )To know you, is to love you,
And I love you . . . 'cause I know you . . .
Are such a sweetheart . . .
that when you walk down the street,
Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat!
The others, who have met you,
Better start in . . . to forget you . . .
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . love me!
Were you the sun, it would be twice as sunny,
Were you a bee, there would be sweeter honey,
Were you a tune everyone would be croonin'
Harmonizin' out in the street!
You're such a bundle of me oh my,
And that's the reason when you go by,
Each heart naturally skips a beat!
Dear . . .
The others . . .
( Were you the spring, you would be twice as springy! )
Who have met you . . .
( Were you a vine, you would be twice as clingy! )
Better start in . . .
( Were you the moon, everyone would be spoonin'! )
To forget you . . .
( Every night would be mighty sweet! )
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . love me!
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you . . . everyone should know you . . .
Know . . . yes, know . . . you love me!

The bird with feathers of blue is waiting for you, back in your own backyard.
You'll see your castle in Spain through your windowpane, back in your own
backyard.
Oh, you can go to the east, go to the west, but someday you'll come,
Weary at heart, back where you started from.
You'll find your happiness lies right under your eyes, back in your own
backyard.

There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
We don't need a "lover's moon" in the sky
or the fragrance of a rose in July
or the magic of a star standing by, above you
if you'll only say "I love you!"
There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
every moment I love you more and more it seems
say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!
Come my love with me,
through the door of dreams!
Love is like a never ending melody,
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
But our song of love is slightly out of tune . . . .
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich,
Seems to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing,
Like the bossa nova love should swing . . . .
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme,
¡®cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,
What good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune?
Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be,
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love,
We’re bound to get in tune again before too long,
There’ll be no desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won’t be slightly out of tune, you’ll sing along with me!
I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail,
Yes, I would,
If I could,
I surely would . . . hmm
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail,
Yes, I would,
If I only could,
I surely would . . . hmm
Away, I'd rather sail away,
Like a swan that's here and gone . . .
A man gets tied up to the ground,
He gives the world it's saddest sound,
It's saddest sound . . . hmm
I'd rather be a forest than a street,
Yes, I would,
If I could,
I surely would . . . hmm
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes, I would,
If I only could,
I surely would . . .
Away, I'd rather sail away,
Like a swan that's here and gone . . .
A man gets tied up to the ground,
He gives the world it's saddest sound,
It's saddest sound . . .
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes, I would,
If I only could,
I surely would . . .
Yes I would . . .
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away!
So, will you please say hello to the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long!
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go,
I was singin' this song:
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
So, will you please say hello to the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long!
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go . . .

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
We'll meet again, we'll meet again . . .
You were lonely, that's where I came in
I was lonely, that's how dreams begin
It was more than a moment of bliss
It's the first time I ever knew two hearts could kiss
When your eyes gave me that welcome sign
Something told me someday you'd be mine
The door of love was open, as I was passing by
And that's where I came in
< instrumental break >
When your eyes gave me that welcome sign
Something told me someday you'd be mine
The door of love was open, as I was passing by
And that's where I came in

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, an' deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one o' 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,
An' won't it 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!
( You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me )
Come rain or come shine
( Happy together, unhappy together,
An' won't it 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!
( I'm gonna love you . . . rain . . . )
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you . . .
Why do birds suddenly appear,
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .
Why do stars fall down from the sky,
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .
On the day that you were born,
The angels got together,
An' decided to create a dream come true . . .
So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold
An' starlight in your eyes of blue . . .
That is why, all the boys in town,
Follow you, all around,
Just like me, they long to be, close to you!
On the day that you were born,
The angels got together,
An' decided to create a dream come true . . .
So they sprinkled mood dust in your hair of gold
An' starlight in your eyes of blue . . .
That is why, all the boys in town,
Follow you, all around,
Just like me, they long to be, close to you . . .
Why?
Close to you . . .
Why?
Close to you . . .
Why?
Close to you . . .
Just like me, they long to be . . .
Close to you . . . ( Close to you, close to you . . . )
Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That wonderful feeling that you want to be kissed?
You're strolling through the park, the stars so bright above
You'd love to love somebody but there's nobody there to love!
Did you ever get that longing on a June night
That wonderful longing you can never resist?
Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That feeling that says you want to be kissed?
Tell me honestly, did you ever get that feelin' in the moonlight
Wonderful feeling that you wanna be kissed?
You're strolling in the park, stars so bright above
You'd love to love somebody but there's no one to love!
Did you ever get that longing on a June night
Wonderful longing you can't resist?
Did you ever get that feelin' in the moonlight
That feeling that says you wanna to be kissed?
< instrumental break >
< repeat first two verses >
That certain feelin!
Feelin' that says you wanna be kissed!
They said that feeling!
That feeling that says you wanna to be kissed?

When the days of December are numbered,
And the earth begs it's snowflakes to fall . . .
That's the time of the year that Christmas is here,
With peace and goodwill for all . . .
How I love that Christmas feelin'
How I treasure it's friendly glow . . .
See the way a stranger greets you,
Just as though you'd met him Christmas's ago!
Christmas helps you to remember,
To do what other folks hold dear . . .
What a blessed place the world would be,
If we had the Christmas feelin' all year!

Take me home,
Take me in,
Kiss away where I've been . . .
Take me home,
Take me there,
Make me safe, make me warm,
Make me stay, make me care . . .
Be my long journey's end,
Be my lover,
My friend . . .
Take my word,
I'll be true,
Take my hand,
Take me home, with you!
The river runs to find the sea,
A swallow flies from tree to tree,
A pebble rolls from door to door,
Until the day it finds,
That it can roll no more!
Take me home,
Take me in,
Kiss away where I've been . . .
Take my word,
I'll be true,
Take my hand,
Take me home, with you!
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
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but 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 has 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
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
A new kind of jumped-up slippery 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
You could be swingin' on a star
Performed in part only

with lyrics by Johnny Burke , 1944
Everybody hand-in-hand, swingin' down the lane,
Everybody 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, 'Honey' I'm so blue,
Watchin' lovers making eyes, like we used to do,
When the moon is on the wane, still I'm waitin' all in vain,
Should be swingin' down the lane with you!
< instrumental break 'trumpet solo' >
When the moon is on the rise, 'Honey' I'm so blue,
Watchin' lovers making eyes, like we used to do,

Should be swingin' down the lane with you!

with lyrics by Gus Kahn , 1923
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you just the same;
I will only call you sweetheart,
That will always be your name . . .
Through a garden filled with roses
Down the sunset trail we'll stray;
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you as today . . .

When tonight is just a memory
our love will still be new
In our hearts there'll still be melodies,
a love song warm an' true!
Though the world may change as time goes by,
we'll never change we two!
When tonight is just a memory
our love will still be new!
When tonight is just a memory

Hip, hop, hoop...oh oh ha ha
Hip, hop, hoop...oh oh ha ha
Hip, I didn't know lips could kiss
(Hip hip)
Hup I didn't know eyes could flirt
Hope, I didn't know girls could be
Like Tina Marie
(Hop hop)
Hip I didn't know I could sail
Like a pannyboat in the gale
What she's doin
Will be the ruin of me
Oh ho ha ha
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
You sweet little schemer
Tina Marie
(Tina, Tina Marie)
Oh what you do
Your brand of voodoo
Is too much for me
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
Oh how I dream of
Stealin your charms
I'm gonna marry you
Some day I'll carry you
Off in my arms
Oh ho ha ha
Hip, I used to be a good time Joe
(Hip hip)
Kiss a gal and just let her go
(go go)
Hope, hope
I was dealin free till Tina Marie
Mister Cupid you stacked the deck
Why'd you throw me a queen by heck
Now she's braggin
She's fixed my wagon for me
Ho ho ha ha
Tina, Tina, Tina, Tina
You sweet little schemer
Tina Marie
(Tina, Tina Marie)
Oh what you do
Your brand of voodoo
I'm comin' home, I've done my time,
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine,
If you received 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 you still want me ? ( 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 yellow ribbon around 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 yella 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 you still want me ? ( 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 yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .
Tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
. . . three long years,
. . . still want me ?
And now the whole damn bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see . . .
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole . . .

Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree,
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree . . .

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 dreams,
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 sayin' that paradise
once nearly was mine!
Only to fly as day
flies from moonlight!
Now, now I'm alone
still dreaming of paradise,
still sayin' that paradise
once nearly was mine!
All I Do Is Dream of You
Gigi
The Way You Look Tonight
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
All I do is dream of you the whole night through
with the dawn, I still go on, dreamin' of you!
You're every thought, you're every thing
you're every song I ever sing
summer, winter, autumn an' spring!
And were there more than twenty-four hours a day
they'd be spent in sweet content, dreamin' away!
When skies are gray, skies are blue
morning, noon an' night time too
all I do the whole day through is dream of you!
When skies are gray, skies are blue
morning, noon an' night time too
all I do the whole day through is dream of you!
Gigi . . . am I a fool without a mind
or have I merely been to blind to realize?
Oh Gigi . . . why you've been growin' up
before my very eyes!
Gigi . . . you're not at all the funny
awkward little girl I knew
Oh no, overnight there's been a breathless
change in you!
Gigi . . . why you were tremblin' on the brink
was I out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star?
Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
and your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
has made you the way you are?
Oh Gigi . . . have I been standin' up to close
or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
and your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
has made you the way you are?
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!
Oh . . . but you're lovely
with your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft
there is nothing for me but to love you
just the way you look tonight!
With each word your tenderness grows
tearing my fear apart
and that laugh that 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!
. . . just the way you look
tonight!
All By Myself
I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face
So In Love
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
I'd love to rest my weary head
on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
all by myself!
All by myself, in the mornin'
all by myself in the night
I sit alone with a table and a chair
so unhappy there, playin' solitaire
All by myself, I get lonely
watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head
on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
all by myself!
All by myself, I get lonely
watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head
on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
all by myself!
I've grown accustomed to her face,
she almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
she whistles night an' noon
Her smiles, her frowns,
her ups, her downs
are second nature to me now
like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent
and content, before we met
surely I could always be that way again, and yet,
I've grown accustomed to her looks
accustomed to her voice
accustomed to her face!
Strange dear, but true dear
when I'm close to you dear
the stars fill the sky
so in love with you am I
Even without you
my arms fold about you
you know darling why?
so in love with you am I
In love with the night mysterious
the night when you first were there
in love with my joy, delirious,
when I knew that you could care!
So taunt me and hurt me
deceive me, desert me
I'm yours 'till I die
so in love, so in love,
so in love with you, my love, am I
I hear singing and there's no one there,
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare,
All day long I seem to walk on air,
I wonder why, I wonder why ?
I keep tossing in my sleep at night,
And what's more I've lost my appetite,
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies,
Are twinkling in my eyes,
I wonder why ?
You don't need analyzin'
It is not so surpisin'
That you feel very strange but nice!
Your heart goes pitter patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice!
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rub-down with a velvet glove!
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick, you're just in love!
< repeat verse and chorus simultaneously >
Now you know why!
Now I know why!
I'm just in love!
~ from the 1950 Broadway musical 'Call Me Madam'
Words and Music by Irving Berlin. 1950
So long Sally,
you'll be a beautiful bride . . .
So long Sally,
though I won't be there at your side . . .
I can't deny, I wish that I
were in his shoes,
but someone's gotta win and someone's gotta lose,
in dreams I'll still caress you,
goodbye, good luck an' bless you,
guess I'll be runnin' along . . .
So long Sally,

In our hide-away,
Far from all the fuss that bothers us
We’ll hide-away, we two!
In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We’ll be all alone, no telephone to worry me or you!
We will have a ball,
Busy doin’ nothing at all!
In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We will lock the door an’ throw away the key
What a holiday, our hide-away will be!
In our hide-away,
Far from all the fuss that bothers us
We’ll hide-away, we two!
In our hide-away, we’ll be all alone,
No telephone to worry me or you!
We will have a ball,
Busy doin’ nothing at all!
In our hide-away ( in our hide-away . . . )
We will lock the door an’ throw away the key
What a holiday, our hide-away will be!
What a holiday,
Our hide-away will be!
If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why can't I paint you?
The words would never show,
the you I've come to know . . .
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
you're all that's left me to . . .
And when my love for life
is running dry,
You come and 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,
Spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you
when the world was through . . .
Then one by one
the stars would all go out . . .
Then you and I
would simply fly away!
If you were only mine,
if you were only mine
I know the sun would shine for me . . .
I'd find my happiness,
to be in your caress,
my every fear and every tear, I'd lose dear . . .
If you could understand,
I know you'd lend a hand,
to all the dreams I've planned for you . . .
Life would be so divine,
I'd worship at your shrine,
Sweetheart, if you were only mine!

Though astronomers say,
it's an awful long way,
from here to the moon,
I would go there on my honeymoon,
if you were my girl . . .
Far away from the crowd,
we could live on a cloud,
a castle in air,
It would be a storybook affair,
if you were my girl . . .
If you'd like some ice cream,
from the milky way,
I would shinny up the moonbeam,
an' bring you a rainbow parfait . . .
Just a sailin' along,
on the wings of a song,
with you by my side,
life would be a rolly coaster ride,
if you were my girl . . .

It's a lovely day today,
so whatever you've got to do,
you've got a lovely day to do it in

And I hope whatever you've got to do,
it's somethin' that can be done by two,
for I'd really like to stay!
It's a lovely day today,
and whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
with you!
But if you've got somethin' that must be done
an' it can only be done by one,
there is nothin' more to say,
except it's a lovely day for sayin'
it's a lovely day!
It's a lovely day today,

But I watched as it raced on by me,
Headin' for tomorrow . . .
And I haven't the power to say,
We can save today . . .
For a little while longer,
Just one tomorrow,
Can I save today?
It was such a good day!
I wanna remember,
All of the good times,
At the end of the day,
To remember the good times . . .
The look at the morning,
The children at play,
Oh! Can I save today?
It was such a good day!
When this day is over,
And the sun leaves the sky,
Let me see all the memories,
While they're clear in my eye . . .
At the end of the day,
Let me reach out an' touch,
All the faces of places an' people,
That I love so much!
Especially the people,
That I love so much!
Especially the people,
That I love so much!
No . . . not the Roosevelt's, not the Truman's,
not the Eisenhower's no, this is not that kind of show!
Not the Kennedy's, no not the Kennedy's,
just a family of four, so it couldn't be the Kennedy's
with the Kennedy's there'd have to be more than four
just a simple American, not one of the 'greats'
but he happens to be President of these United States!
Is she the only girl in the world,
That you will always love and adore,
Look just as good to you in the morning,
As she did the night before?
Out of a hundred million or two,
Is she the only one for you?
If she’s the only girl in the world,
Come rain or shine,
Then she’s a girl like mine!

Nor your life when the heartbeat is gone . . .
You can't buy your way into heaven,
Tho' you may possess wealth untold,
An' just like your mother,
You can't buy another,
If you had all the world and it's gold . . .
You can't buy the sunshine at twilight,
You can't buy the moonlight at dawn,
You can't buy your youth when you're growin' old,

If we can't be the same old sweethearts,
then we'll just be the same old friends!
For I want someone like you
just to tell my troubles to,
my happiness, on you,
it all depends!
For I've known you too long to forget you
and my old dream of love never ends!
Though I know you can't be mine,
we will meet from time to time
and we'll just be the same old friends!

First Class Private, Mary Brown,
she wore that uniform like a million dollar gown . . .
How my heart would leap when she drove the Jeep
with the one big stripe on her arm,
and it seemed to me that a PFC
stood for 'perfect feminine charm' !
First Class Private, Mary Brown,
Oh! how she smiled at me when they shipped me out of town . . .
Let the big guns roar, let me win this war,
'cause I want to hurry right back
to First Class Private, Mary Brown, my wonderful WAC!
( Doo, doo, doo doo, doo . . . )
First Class Private, Mary Brown,
I've got her army serial number written down . . .
She's got bulgy eyes, but when she marched by,
I just had to look at her twice,
and it struck me then that the ASN
meant an 'angel, specially nice'!
First Class Private, Mary Brown,
could make the PX seem like the Ritz in New York town . . .
Let the big guns roar, let me win this war,
'cause I want to hurry right back (on the double)

Feelings of love . . .
Teardrops, rollin' down on my face,
Tryin' to forget my,
Feelings of love . . .

I wish I'd never met you girl,
You'll never come again . . .

Oh Oh Oh feel you,
Again in my arms . . . ( Again, again! )

You Won't Be Satisfied ( Until You Break My Heart )
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get from you is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .
My poor heart is saggin' . . .
The way you toss my heard around's a cryin' shame,
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same!
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart,
Oh you won't be satisfied until you break my heart!
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .
My poor heart is saggin' . . .
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get from you is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .
My poor heart is saggin' . . .
The way you toss my heard around's a cryin' shame,
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same!
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart . . .
It doesn't seem fair ( those little white lies )
But you don't seem to care ( and now I realize )
You won't be satisfied,
Until you've broken my heart!
Music and Lyrics by Freddy James

You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
never have I loved this way!
I know that when you kiss me years from now
you'll kiss me as you did today!
You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
no one else would ever do!
And if you're asking me, what sweethearts ought to be
I'd say they ought to be like you!
You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
never have I loved this way!
I know that when you kiss me years from now
you'll kiss me as you did today!
You'll always be my lifetime sweetheart
no one else would ever do!
And if you're asking me, what sweethearts ought to be
I'd say they ought to be like you!
You're followin' me,
Wherever I go . . .
You'll always be there,
So, what do I care?
You're followin' me!
When I've got the time,
I'll slip you a kiss,
I'll keep you around,
You'll always be found,
You're followin' me!
That's what I thought ( do wah, do wah! )
That's what I said right along ( do wah, do wah! )
But now it appears with time an' tears
Have proved that I was wrong!
You're followin' me ( gi, gi! )
But, not like before ( gi, gi! )
Tho' we're far apart ( Bah! ) you're stealin' my heart ( Bah! )
You're followin' me ( You're followin' me! )
Come back baby! ( Sha na na na! )
I'll treat you right this time! ( Sha na na na! )
Come back baby! ( Sha na na na! )
I promise to change all my ways!
You're followin' me ( gi, gi! )
But, not like before ( gi, gi! )
Tho' we're far apart ( Bah! ) you're stealin' my heart ( Bah! )
You're followin' me ( You're followin' me! )
You're followin' me ( You're followin' me! )
You're followin' me ( You're followin' me! )
Ah! Come back baby! ( Sha na na na! )
I'll treat you right this time! ( Sha na na na! )
Come back baby! ( Sha na na na! )
I promise to change all my ways!
You're followin' me ( gi, gi! )
But, not like before ( gi, gi! )
Tho' we're far apart ( Bah! ) you're stealin' my heart ( Bah! )
You're followin' me ( You're followin' me! )
You're followin' me ( You're followin' me! )
You're followin' me . . . yeah!
You're nearer, than my head is to my pillow,
Nearer, than the wind is to the willow.
Dearer, than the rain is to the earth below,
Precious as the sun to the things that grow.
You're nearer, than the ivy to the wall is,
Nearer, than the winter to the fall is.
Leave me, but when you're away, you'll know,
You're nearer, for I love you so!
Fairy tales can come true,
It can happen to you,
If you're young at heart!
( Young at heart! )
For it's hard you will find
To be narrow of mind,
If you're young at heart!
( 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,
An' love is either in your heart,
Or, on the way!
Don't you know that it's worth,
Every treasure on earth,
To be young at heart!
( Young at heart! )
For as rich as you are,
It's much better by far,
To be young at heart!
( Young at heart! )
And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!
And here is the best part,
You have a head start . . .
If you are among,
The very young at heart!
( 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 a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!
And here is the best part,
You have a head start . . .
If you are among,
The very young . . .
at heart!
( Young love! . . . Young love! . . .
Young love! . . . Young love! . . . )
They say for every boy an' girl,
There's just one love in this whole world,
And I know I found mine,
The heavenly touch of your embrace,
Tells me no one can take your place,
Ever in my heart!
Young love, first love!
Filled with true devotion . . .
Young love, our love!
We share, with deep, emotion . . .
( Emotion! . . . Emotion! )
Oh, just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that your love is real
And I can feel, that it's true!
We will vow to one another,
There will never be another
Love . . .
For you, or for me!
Young love, first love!
Filled with true devotion . . .
Young love, our love!
We share, with deep, emotion . . . ( Emotion! )
( Young love! . . .
Young love! . . . Young love! . . . )
I want to give
I want to give my love to you completely....
I beg of you,
I beg of you to listen to my heart.
I've never prayed like this before
and I'm askin' you not to close the door.
For I contain the wind that smoothed the waters
if you just let me x2.
I wanna' give,
I wanna give you all the strengths within me.
To make a world,
to make a world that cannot fall apart.
And you can sit upon a throne,
oh, I'll give it all, just for you alone.
For I contain the wind that smoothed the waters
if you just let me x2.
Dreams and memories,
Are all that you've left me,
Only lonely thoughts,
About the one I worship and adore!
Dreams and memories,
Are what I must live with,
Sad remembering,
Of golden moments that exist no more!
Lovin' arms to hold me tight,
And your lips to kiss goodnight,
A love that seemed ' Oh so right!'
And yet, somehow, went wrong!
Dreams and memories,
The moonlight on your hair,
Songs that we sang,
That feeling we shared whenever a church bell rang!
Oh, the memories and dreams of you!
I can't live without you . . .
I'll keep on praying you come back to me,
To me . . . to me!
Music by Enrico Toselli
with English lyrics by Carl Sigman
I only want what's the best thing for you,
and the best thing for you would be me.
I've been convinced after thinking it through,
that the best thing for you would be me.
Everyday to myself I say,
point the way, what will it be?
I ask myself, what's the best thing for you?
And myself and I seem to agree,
that the best thing for you would be me.

Why am I alone?
Why am I alone,
Traveling down a lonely road?
Darling, can't you see?
I don't wanna be,
Traveling down a lonely road.
If you would open up your heart
And let my love come shining through,
You'd know how much
I wanna walk the road with you . . .
Won't you understand?
Won't you take my hand?
It's been such a lonely road . . .
< Chorus Italian lyrics >

English lyrics by Don Raye
We'll have a blue room,
A new room, for two room.
Where every day's a holiday,
Because you're married to me . . .
Not like a ball room,
A small room, a hall room,
Where I can smoke my pipe away,
With your wee head upon my knee . . .
We will thrive on, keep alive on,
Just nothing but kisses,
With mister and missus,
Own little blue chairs . . .
You sew your trousseau,
and Robinson Crusoe,
Is not so far from worldly cares,
As our blue room, far away upstairs . . .
( They will thrive on, keep alive on,
Just nothing but kisses . . .
With mister and missus,
Own little blue chair . . .
She'll wear her trousseau,
and Robinson Crusoe . . . )
Is not so far from worldly cares,
As our blue room,
Far away upstairs . . .

with lyrics by Lorenz Hart, 1926
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
There's a song in the air,
But the fair senorita
doesn't seem to care
for the song in the air.
So I'll sing to my mule
if you're sure she won't think that
I am just a fool
serenading a mule.
Amigo mio, does she not have a dainty bray?
She listens carefully to each little word we play.
La bella Senorita?
Si, si, mi muchachito,
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way.
But try as she may,
in her voice there's a flaw!
And all that the lady can say
is "E-E-AW!"
There's a light in her eye,
Tho' she may try to hide it,
She cannot deny,
there's a light in her eye.
Oh! the charm of her smile
so beguiles all who see her
that they'd ride a mile
for the charm of her smile.
Amigo mio, is she listenin' to my song?
No, no, mi muchachito, how could you be so wrong?
La bella Senorita?
Si, Si, la senorita,
If she knew all the words,
Well, maybe she'd sing along . . .
Her face is a dream
like an angel I saw!
But all that my darlin' can scream
is: "E-E-AW!"
Senorita donkey sita, not so fleet as a mosquito,
but so sweet like my Chiquita,
you're the one for me.
You're . . . the one . . . for me!
( 1946 version )

Do you recall that night in June when first we met?
Do you remember Love the words we spoke?
Have you forgotten all the tender vows we made
in the silent magical moonbeams light?
Gone are the golden dreams
with summer roses,
And all of our tender-est vows
were made but to be broken . . .
Song of songs,
Song of memory,
and broken melody of love and life
nevermore to me
can that melody
fill the heart
with the joy once it knew . . .
Oh night of bliss, night of June and love
beneath the stars amid the roses . . .
Oh dream of delight that faded at dawn
Oh song of songs,
Oh night of bliss,
When you were my whole world of love!
< instrumental break >
When you were my whole world of love . . .
Of love!
Music by Harold Vicars
with English lyrics by Clarence Lucas, 1914
I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!
I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This Carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?
Will true love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?
( Oooo, Oooo! )
The candle glow, the mistletoe, and the falling snow
bring to me, the Christmas symphony!
The balsam tree, the gifts I see, and the silent night
bring to me, the Christmas symphony!
The voices of Mother speaking, to little girls and boys,
'Dear, if you're not sleeping, Santa can't bring you any toys!'
The Christmas prayer that fills the air, here and everywhere
brings to me, the Christmas symphony!
Voices of Mother speaking . . .
to little girls and boys
'Dear, if you're not sleeping . . .
Santa can't bring you any toys!'
The Christmas prayer that fills the air, here and everywhere
brings to me, the Christmas symphony!

Oh it’s a sin to catch a butterfly,
So I won’t ever try to keep you in a jar!
I’ll just let you flip and flow and ‘round,
I’ll never tie you down ‘cause that’s the way you are!
Butterfly, I’ll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please fly home to me!
All the snow has melted from the ground,
When you first came around and held me it was spring!
April showers kept you here with me,
Was it your love for me or water on your wings?
Butterfly, I’ll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please make love to me!
It’s a sin to catch a butterfly,
So I’ll just say good-bye and watch you fly away!
But should you feel by the winter’s chill,
Come to my window sill I’ll never make you stay!
Butterfly, I’ll set you free,
But once in a while,
Please come home to me!

I love you an' don't you forget it,
That makes seven times that I've said it,

I love you in the springtime,
I love you in the fall,
I love you at a party,
We always have a ball!
And when you're in my arms dear,
I love you most of all . . .
In the morning an' in the evening,
An' when it's cloudy or clear,
I'm in love with you, so in love with you,
Every day of the year!

I love you an' don't you forget it,
There, that's one more time that I've said it,
I don't see how you can forget it now!
Buongiorno Teresa
like the sun you brighten up my day
Good mornin' Teresa
smile at me an' send me on my way!
You sit by the tower,
the world rushes by,
sell me a flower,
an' straighten my tie!
I'll walk home this evening
through the lonely market place
I'll sleep well, I'll dream well,
because tomorrow I can say "Buongiorno Teresa"
I love you more each day!
I'll walk home this evening
through the lonely market place
I'll sleep well, I'll dream well,
because tomorrow I can say "Buongiorno Teresa"
I love you more ( I love you more! ) each day!

I love you more each day!
Teresa!
I love you more each day!
How insensitive . . . I must have seemed
when she told me that she loved me . . .
how unmoved an' cold . . . I must have seemed
when she told me so sincerely . . .
Why . . . she must have asked
do I just turn an' stare in icy silence?
What was I to say . . .
what can you say when a love affair is over?
< instrumental break >
Now, she's gone away
and I'm alone with a memory of her last look . . .
vague an' drawn an' sad . . . I see it still
all her heartbreak in that last look . . .
How . . . she must have asked
could I just turn an' stare in icy silence?
What was I to do . . .
what can one do when a love affair is over?
What can you do
when a love affair is over?
It's over . . .

English lyrics by Norman Gimbel
Beautiful girls,
Walk a little slower,
When you walk by me!
Lingering sunsets,
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,
Grown-ups seldom understand!
Wandering rainbow,
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,
And I will stay younger than spring!
Wandering rainbow,
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,
And I will stay younger,
In every way younger,
Yes, I will stay younger than the spring!
Sky, so vast as the sky
with far away clouds just wandering by . . .
Where did 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 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 an' searching for you,
like a river, that can't find the sea,
that would be me, without you my Dindi!

Don't you know Dindi . . .

Over in Killarney
Many years ago,
Me Mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good old Irish way,
And I'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.
Chorus:
'Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby.'
Oft in dreams I wander
To that cot again,
I feel her arms a-huggin' me
As when she held me then.
And I hear her voice a -hummin'
To me as in days of yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.

( I'm in love with the girl with the golden,
can't live without the girl with the golden . . . braids! )
I saw a gal with golden hair
dancin' as I played
never saw a gal so fair
as the girl with the golden braids!
I was travellin' with a band,
came to town and stayed
knew I'd have to seek the hand
of the girl with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway,
dance an' steal my heart away,
so many fellas stand in line
but I knew you'd be mine!
Yes, you'd be mine!
Knew I had to take a chance,
so I made a trade
gave my fiddle for a dance
with the girl with the golden braids
Now I'm thru forever more,
roamin' never paid
found that life that I adore
with the girl with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway,
dance an' steal my heart away,
so many fellas stand in line
but I knew you'd be mine!
Oh! . . . you'd be mine!

Dance girl, dance an' sway,

my last serenade
lucky me, I'm so in love
with the girl with the golden braids!
Ever since that night in June,
life's a rosy shade,
dancin' on my honeymoon
with the gal with the golden braids!
Oh! . . . Dance girl, dance an' sway,
dance an' steal my heart away,
so many fellas stand in line

Dance girl, dance an' sway,

with lyrics by Stanley J. Kahan, 1957
Hi boys and girls, I’m Perry Como,
And I’m gonna tell you the most wonderful story in the whole world,
The Story of the First Christmas!
Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
You’re standing on a hillside, near a little town in Palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is Joseph!
And riding on the donkey is Mary.
They’ve come a long, long way,
And they’re heading for the town near the hillside,
On which we’re standing!
Something very special will happen in this town tonight!
For this is the little town of Bethlehem!
Oh little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight!
Now let’s follow Joseph and Mary into Bethlehem,
It’s getting dark and all the rooms at the Inn are taken,
So they spend the night at a stable.
Now I told you something special was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to Mary,
And they called him Jesus.
They had no baby’s crib, so Mary puts little Jesus to sleep,
In the soft sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, come to the manger,
Little Lord Jesus is born on this day!
Now while Jesus lies in the manger asleep,
Let’s tiptoe back to the hillside near Bethlehem,
Where the Shepherds tend their flock.
All at once the Shepherds are frightened,
You’d be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an Angel of the Lord!
And you’re no longer frightened,
For the Angel brings good news,
News of a Saviour born this day,
News of Christ the Lord!
The First Noel! the Angels did say,
Was to certain poor Shepherds,
In fields as they lay,
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
Now boys and girls,
Remember, we’re still making believe we’re with the Shepherds and the Angel,
On the hillside near Bethlehem.
The Shepherds ask the Angel,
Where to find the Christ-child ?
And the Angel tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with others Angels singing,
Glory to God! On earth Peace, Goodwill, to Men!
The Shepherds hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For He is Christ the Lord!
Oh! Come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh Come ye, Oh! Come ye, to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels,
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
And now, look up into the sky!
See that bright star twinkling in the heavens ?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
They’re riding on camels,
And they’re using the star as a guide to lead them to the Christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star ?
Let’s find out!
We Three Kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star!
That’s right boys and girls,
The three men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them to Bethlehem,
To a little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the Christ-child,
The first Christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of Mir!
The wise men fall on their knees to worship Him,
A great peace settles on the night,
For it’s the Holy Night!
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!
When we celebrate Christmas,
Think of Bethlehem, the Virgin Mary, the three wise men,
And the birth of the Christ-child!
The First Christmas!
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
CHORUS
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Or keep your heart from me
For some day I’ll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many nights (too many nights)
Too many stars (too many stars)
Too many moons to change your mind (don't let the moon change your mind)
If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine
CHORUS
(Don't let the stars get in your eyes, don't let the moon break your heart)
Too many miles (too many miles)
Too many days (too many days)
Too many nights to be alone (too many nights all alone)
Oh, please keep your heart while we are apart
Dontcha linger in the moonlight when I'm gone
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart (don't let the moon break your heart)
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Or keep your heart from me
For some day I’ll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
(I'll ever love)
I'll ever love
You're the only one (you're the only one)
I'LL EVER LOVE
I love you,
Hums an April breeze,
I love you,
Echo the hills!
I love you,
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!
It€™s spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies!
I love you,
That€™s the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me
I love you . . .
Hums an April breeze,
I love you . . .
Echo the hills!
I love you . . .
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!
It€™s spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies! ( mellow, melodies . . . )
I love you,
That€™s the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me.
And it all belongs,
To you and me!
When the days of December are numbered,
And the earth begs it's snowflakes to fall . . .
That's the time of the year that Christmas is here,
With peace and goodwill for all . . .
How I love that Christmas feelin'
How I treasure it's friendly glow . . .
See the way a stranger greets you,
Just as though you'd met him Christmas's ago!
Christmas helps you to remember,
To do what other folks hold dear . . .
What a blessed place the world would be,
If we had the Christmas feelin' all year!
( repeat last verse )
Sweet Adeline! ( Sweet Adeline! )
My Adeline! ( My Adeline! )
Gee, but I'd give the world to see
that old gang of mine!
I can't forget that old quartet
that sang "Sweet Adeline!" ( Sweet Adeline! )
Goodbye forever, old fellas an' gals
goodbye forever, old sweethearts an' pals
God Bless them!
Gee, but I'd give the world to see
that old gang of mine!
Goodbye forever, old fellas an' gals
goodbye forever, old sweethearts an' pals!
God Bless them!
Gee, but I'd give the world to see
that old gang of mine!
Love of my life, life of my love,
I used to pray and pray you'd hear me . . .
Love of my life,
Angels above sent you at last to stay always near me . . .
Now, we are one, never to part,
And never more need I implore you to miss me,
Come to my arms, come to my heart, kiss me, kiss me,
Come to me, come to me, love of my life . . .
Now, we are one, never to part,
And never more need I implore you to miss me,
Come to my arms, come to my heart, kiss me, kiss me,
Come to me, come to me, love of my life . . .
When you're the father of boys,
How you worry,
But when you're the father of girls,
You do more than that,
You Pray!
From the time of diaper and pin,
‘Till the time they cry, "don't come in!"
‘Till the time you gown them in white,
And give them away,
You worry, you worry,
You worry, night and day!
When she's a plain little girl,
How you worry,
But when she's a beautiful thing,
You do more than that,
You pray!
Boys come ‘round when they want a date,
Girls may only stay home and wait,
When she's out you sit up all night,
With her first baby toy!
You trust her, but worry,
‘Cause you were once a boy!
When you're the father of boys,
How you worry,
But when you're the father of girls,
You do more than that,
You pray!
The grass keeps right on growin'
the sun goes right on shinin'
there are apples on the apple tree
ain't life a funny thing, flowers bloom an' birds still sing an'
everything's the same except for me . . .
Everything's the same except for me . . .
because, you're gone . . .
I tell myself you're really gone
How can it be, but there it is,
I'm alone once again . . .
An' life goes on
without your smile I knew so well
the secrets that we used to tell
yesterday way back when?
And . . . the grass keeps right on growin'
the sun goes right on shinin'
the skies are blue the way they used to be
ain't life a funny thing, kids play tag an' church bells ring an'
everything's the same except for me . . .
Everything's the same except for me . . .
'cause, you're not there . . .
I look for you but you're not there
I hear your voice , it's just a trick
that my mind wants to play . . .
How can this world keep turnin' like it used to do?
There's no more world, there's no more you,
no more words left to say . . .
And . . . the grass keeps right on growin'
the sun goes right on shinin'
there are apples on the apple tree
ain't life a funny thing, flowers bloom an' birds that sing an'
everything the same except for me . . .
. . . everything's the same except for me . . .
Hey! . . . did you happen to see
the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey! . . . if you happened to see
the most beautiful girl who walked out on me?
Tell her I'm sorry, tell her I need baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?
I woke up this morning
realised what I had done
I stood alone in the cold gray dawn
knew I lost my mornin' sun
I lost my head an' I said some things
now come the heartaches the morning brings
I know I'm wrong but I couldn't see
I let my world slip away from me!
Hey! . . . did you happen to see
the most beautiful girl in the world?
And if you did, was she crying, crying?
Hey! . . . if you happened to see
the most beautiful girl who walked out on me?
Tell her I'm sorry, tell her I need baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her?
Hey! . . . if you happened to see
the most beautiful girl who walked out on me?
Tell her I'm sorry, tell her I need baby
Oh, won't you tell her that I love her . . . to fade
That's all this ol' world needs,
that's all this ol' world needs . . .
A little more love an' sweet devotion,
a little less hate an' wild commotion,
that's all this world needs . . .
That's all this ol' world needs,
that's all this ol' world needs . . .
A little more truth an' no more lies,
and only rain fallin' from the skies,
that's all this world needs . . .
A little less envy, a little less greed,
a little more lookin' to your brothers need,
a little more laughter, a little more song,
an' a world where people know right from wrong . . .
That's all this ol' world needs,
that's all this ol' world needs . . .
The innocence of children everywhere,
the peacefulness of an evening prayer,
that's all this world needs . . .
A little less envy, a little less greed,
a little more lookin' to your brothers need,
a little more laughter, a little more song,

And I never thought I'd feel this way,
And as far as I'm concerned,
I'm glad I got a chance to say,
That I do believe I love you!
And if I should ever go away,
Well then close your eyes and try,
to feel the way we do today!
And then if you can remember . . .
Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!
For good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!
And so, by the way, I thank you and then,
For the times when we're apart,
Well then close your eyes and know,
These words are comin' from my heart!
And then if you can remember . . .
Keep smiling!
Keep shining!
Knowing you can always count on me,
For sure!
And that's what friends are for!
In good times!
And bad times!
I'll be on your side forever more!
That's what friends are for!
Yes . . . that's you!
every wonderful sensation
Yes . . . it's true!
the touch of love in the night, that's you!
A promise of laughter, that is you, that is you
sun in the morning on a mountain
the green of a meadow in the soft summer dew
Oh yes, Oh yes, that is you!
You are the love song, yes you are, yes you are
the silvery music of a fountain
the sensual whisper of a mellow guitar
Oh yes, Oh yes, that is you!
Yes . . . that's you!
every wonderful sensation
Yes . . . it's true!
the touch of love in the night, is you!
The love of my lifetime, you will be, you will be
the lingering rainbow I will follow
the greatest adventure in the world for me
Oh yes, Oh yes, you will be!
Yes . . . that's you!
every wonderful sensation
Yes . . . it's true!
the touch of love in the night, that's you!
Yes . . . that's you!
every wonderful sensation
Yes . . . it's true!
the touch of love in the night, that's you!
Yes . . . that's you!
every wonderful sensation
Yes . . . it's true!
the touch of love in the night, that's you . . . to fade
Ring out, ring out,
ring out sweet bells!
The bells of St. Mary's,
Ah! here they are calling,
the young loves, the true loves,
who come from the sea . . .
And so my beloved,
when red leaves are falling,
the love bells shall ring out, ring out,
for you and me!
The bells of St. Mary's,
that sweet eventide,
shall call me beloved
to come to your side . . .
And out in the valley,
in sound of the sea,
I know you'll be waiting,
just waiting for me!
Just waiting, just waiting,
Just waiting for me!
The bells of St. Mary's,
Ah! here they are calling,
the young loves ( the young loves )
the true loves ( the true loves )
who come from the sea . . .
And so my beloved,
when red leaves are falling,
the love bells shall ring out, ring out,
for you and me!
One day we walked along the sand
one day in early spring . . .
You held a piper in your hand
to mend it's broken wing
Now, I'll remember many a day
an' many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song
an' the shadow of a smile!
The shadow of your smile
when you are gone . . .
will color all my dreams
and light the dawn . . .
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
all the lovely things you are . . . 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,
all the joy that love can bring . . .
I will be remembering,
the shadow of your smile!
< instrumental break >
Now, when I remember spring,

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 declined . . .
On the light in your eyes, when you surrender,
And once again our arms intertwine . . .
And so when wise men say to me,
That loves' young dream never comes true,
To prove that even wise men can be wrong,
I concentrate on you!
I concentrate, I concentrate,
On you!
I'm flyin' high, but I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
You caught my eye, and I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Show me the ring and I'll jump right through!
I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now I'm a tingle over you
Hey Mister Parson stand by, for I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you!
( Yes, it's a plain to see that he's flyin' high
and we've got a feelin' he's fallin' . . . )
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
( No one else will do, since you,
caught his eye and we've got a feelin' he's fallin' . . . )
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now I'm a tingle over you
( Hey Mister Parson stand by,
cause we've got a feelin' he's fallin' . . . )
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
( Nobody else will do,
but you . . . )
( Welcome home!, Welcome home!,
Welcome home! Welcome home! )
I'm so glad to be home again
I promise never to roam again
it's oh so good to be home again,
I could cry, I'm so happy
I'm back where I had to be,
awfully glad to be home!
My heart suddenly mends again,
among my neighbours an' friends again,
as I start tyin' loose ends again
I could cry, I'm so happy
there's no need of askin' me, certainly you can see
just why I'm glad to be home!
Why I'm so glad to be home!
( Glad to have you home again! . . . have you home again!
Hope you'll stay with us a while Sir! )
I'm so glad to be home again ( He's so glad to be home again )
I promise never to roam again ( You promise never to roam again )
it's oh so good to be home again ( it's oh so good to be )
I could cry ( He could cry ) I'm so happy ( he's so happy )
I'm back where I had to be,
awfully glad to be home ( Sweet Home! )
My heart suddenly mends again,
among my neighbours an' friends again,

Bali Ha'i may call you
Any night, any day
In your heart you'll hear it call you
"Come away, come away"
Bali Ha'i will whisper
On the wind of the sea
"Here am I your special island"
"Come to me, come to me"
Your own special hopes
Your own special dreams
Bloom on the hillside
And shine in the streams
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Someday you'll see me
Clothing in the sunshine
My head's sticking out from a low flying cloud
You'll hear me call you
Singing through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be
"Come to me, Bali Ha'i"
"Come to me"
"Come to me"
Bali Ha'i
I wonder who's kissing her now?
Wonder who's teaching her how?
Wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs an' telling lies?
I wonder who's buyin' the wine, for the lips that I used to call mine?
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing her now?

I'll be home for Christmas
you can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
and presents on the tree!
Christmas Eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
if only in my dreams!
Christmas Eve will find me
where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas

This lovely day will lengthen into evening,
We'll sigh good-bye to all we've 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 an' spring were new,
But I'm not afraid of autumn, and her sorrow,
For I'll remember, ( I'll remember )
April and you! ( I'll remember )
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while . . .
I won't forget, but I won't be lonely, ( Oh, no . . . )
I'll remember April, and I'll smile . . .
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while ( a little while )
I won't forget, but I won't be lonely ( I won't be lonely )
I'll remember April, and I'll smile . . .
I won't forget but I won't be lonely, no . . .
I'll remember April, and I'll smile!
This lovely day will fade away....
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 someday you€™ll leave me,
Say€™n can€™t we still be friends?
If you go, you know you€™ll grieve me,
All in life on you depends . . .
Am I guessin€™ that you love me?
Dreamin€™ dreams of you in vain,
I€™m confessin€™ that I love you,
Over again!
I€™m afraid someday you€™ll leave me,

I'm dreaming of Hawaii,
Where perfume fills the air.
And lovely gentle breezes,
Come and take away your every care.
The beauty of Hawaii,
Is waiting just for you.
Let's fly there on a rainbow,
And let all our wildest dreams come true.
Palm trees are swayin'
Ukuleles are playin'
Your heart will keep sayin'
I've found a new home!
The trade winds seem to say,
We hope you'll stay,
It's here you'll find that longed for peace of mind . . .
There's romance in Hawaii,
It's heaven by the sea.
I'm dreaming of Hawaii,
It's a paradise for you and me!

It's a paradise for you and me!
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
I'm gonna write words so sweet
they're gonna knock me off my feet
a lot of kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got them
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
and close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came
. . . from you!
Give me your hand let me be ever near
and let us wonder together through the years.
Give me your fate, I vow that I'll be true
no doubt must ever touch my love for you!
Give me your heart to cherish tenderly,
no greater gift than this could ever be.
Give me your love and make my life divine
God make this day, at last your love is mine!

Give me your love and make my life divine
God make this day . . .
at last your love is mine!

I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm in love . . .
I 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 is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go . . .

They were standing in a crowded station,
So unaware,
Of all the people there!
I didn't mean to hear their conversation,
But anyone could tell,
It was their last farewell!
Good-bye Sue,
All the best of luck to you!
You've been my only gal,
What’s more, my best pal!
Please don't cry,
Smile until the clouds roll by!
Don't kiss me dear, just walk away,
Or I could never ever say,
Good-bye, good-bye Sue!
( Good-bye Sue ) My little Sue!
( All the best of luck to you! ) Good luck to you!
( You’ve been my only gal,
What’s more, my best pal!

Please don't cry,
Smile until the clouds roll by!
Don't kiss me dear, just walk away,
Or I could never ever say,
Good-bye, good-bye Sue!

Be a very happy man!

Tomorrow is never today!

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 laughed,
eyes that danced . . .
Haunted heart
won't let me be
dreams repeat a sweet
but lonely song to me . . .
Dreams are dust,
it's you who must
belong to me . . .
and thrill my haunted heart . . .
Be still, my haunted heart . . .

Have I stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight, would that same light be shinin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care
Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?
Stayed away too long?

I was young and foolish,
When I fell in love with you . . .
Not too wise in the ways of the world
Was I . . .
Young and foolish
Were the things I used to do,
Oh what silly tricks I would try!
I’ve changed my mind about many things,
Things I never knew before . . .
But though I’ve changed my mind about many things,
As time goes by,
I love you more!
If it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as I do,
Let me be young and foolish . . .
My whole life through!
( if it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as I do . . . )
Let me be young and foolish . . .
My whole life through!
I’ll be young and foolish . . .
My whole life through!
I want to give
I want to give my love to you completely....
I beg of you,
I beg of you to listen to my heart.
I've never prayed like this before
and I'm askin' you not to close the door.
For I contain the wind that smoothed the waters
if you just let me x2.
I wanna' give,
I wanna give you all the strengths within me.
To make a world,
to make a world that cannot fall apart.
And you can sit upon a throne,
oh, I'll give it all, just for you alone.
For I contain the wind that smoothed the waters
if you just let me x2.
No summer cloud,
Is white enough to match,
The color of her hair!
No span of time,
Is long enough to ever end,
Her tender care!
And since I'm speaking of,
My Mother's love,
Please let me tell you Sir!
No well on earth,
Is deep enough to drown,
The love I hold for her!
Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it, gettin' so gay with it
Shoutin' "olé" with it, wow! (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo
(Mama loves mambo)
Papa does great with it, swings like a gate with it
Evens his weight with it, now!
He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight)
Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Havin' their fling again, younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo
(Mama loves mambo)
Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba
'cause papa loves mama tonight (ooh!)
(Papa loves mambo)
(Mama loves mambo)
(Papa loves mambo)
(Mama loves mambo)
He goes to, she goes fro
He goes fast, she goes slow
He goes left 'n' she goes right
(Papa's lookin' for mama but mama is nowhere in sight) (ooh!)
Papa loves mambo
(Papa loves mambo)
Mama loves mambo
(Mama loves mambo)
Havin' their fling again, younger than Spring again
Feelin' that zing again, wow! (ooh!)
(Papa loves mambo)
Mambo papa
(Mama loves mambo)
Mambo mama
(Don't let her rumba and don't let her samba)
'cause papa--
Loves a mambo tonight
(ooh!)
When there's trouble on my mind
I'm feelin' low
I long to find some peaceful place to go
Who gives me sympathy?
Who's always good to me?
Nobody but you!
When this world has got me down
I need a friend
It seems my trials an' cares will never end
Who's got the kind of love
that I need plenty of?
Nobody but you!
You are the one, who won't forsake me
though my dreams may fade an' fall apart
Nobody but you, brings consolation
to warm my heart!
All you have to do is smile
the sun will shine!
Somehow I know that things will turn out fine
Who can I guarantee, will always stand by me,
Nobody but you!
( All you have to do is smile . . . )
the sun will shine!
Somehow I know that things will turn out fine
Who can I guarantee, will always stand by me,
Nobody but you!
When life seems full of clouds an' rain
and I am filled with naught but pain,
who soothes my thumpin' bumpin' brain ?
Nobody . . .
When winter comes with snow an' sleet,
and me with hunger and cold feet,
who says " Ah, here's two bits, go an' eat!"
Nobody . . .
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody,
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!
And 'till I get somethin' from somebody, sometime,
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time!
When I try hard an' scheme an' plan,
to look as good as good as I can,
who says " Ah, look at that handsome man!"
Nobody . . .
When all day long things go amiss,
and I go home to find some bliss,
who hands to me a glowin' kiss?
Nobody . . .
I ain't never done nothin' to nobody,
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time!
And until I get somethin' from somebody, sometime,
I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time!
Nobody, no time!

~ 1946 Version
O, little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
the silent stars go by;
Yet in thy 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 gather all above
while mortals sleep the angels keep
their watch of wond'ring love!
O, morning stars together
proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God our King
and peace to men on earth!
O, 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
O, come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emanuel!
Once I loved . . .
and I gave so much love to this love
it was the world to me!
Once I cried . . .
at the thought I was foolish an' proud
and let you say goodbye!
Then, one day . . .
from my infinite sadness you came
and brought me love again!
Now I know . . .
that no matter whatever 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 . . .
. . . love is the saddest thing
when it goes away . . .
< instrumental break >
I will hold you close . . . make you stay
because love is the saddest thing
when it goes away . . .
. . . love is the saddest thing
when it goes away . . .
. . . when it goes away . . .

English lyrics by Ray Gilbert
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
Dear One, how I miss you tonight!
Miss you while lights are low
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
Dear One, how I miss you tonight!
Pigtails and freckles, braces on your teeth
Who would have thought you would turn out so beautiful?
Awkward and bashful, scared right from the start
Who would have thought you would turn out so smart?
Changes, many changes, since I first looked at you,
Funny, very funny, what a few years can do!
Pigtails and freckles, braces on your teeth
Who would have thought they’d become so sublime?
I would have thought, for I thought so all the time!
< instrumental break >
Who would have thought

Pigtails and freckles, braces on your teeth

I would have thought, for I thought so all the time!
Skeeters am a hummin'
on the honeysuckle vine
sleep Kentucky Babe!
Sandman am a comin'
to this little child of mine
sleep Kentucky Babe!
Silvery moon am a shinin'
on de heavens up above
bobolink am pinin' for his little lady love . . .
You is might lucky
Babe of old Kentucky
close your eyes in sleep . . .
and fly away,
fly away Kentucky Babe,
fly away to rest, fly away,
lay your curly woolly head
on your mammy's breast,
hmm, hmmm, edah la da da dee
close your eyes in sleep!
Songs were made to sing,
While we're young!
Every day is Spring,
While we're young!
None can refuse,
Time flies so fast!
Too dear to lose,
An' too sweet to last!
Though it may be just . . .
For today!
Share our love we must . . .
While we may!
So blue the skies,
All sweet surprise,
Shines before our eyes,
While we're young!
( None can refuse,
Time flies so fast!
Too dear to lose,
An' too sweet to last! )
Though it may be just . . .
For today!
Share our love we must . . .
While we may!
So blue the skies,
All sweet surprise,
Shines before our eyes,
While we're young!
When I fall in love,
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love . . .
In an restless world like this is,
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses,
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun . . .
When I give my heart,
It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart . . .
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you . . .
Or I'll never give my heart . . .
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you . . .
Maybe I should have saved
those left-over 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 lover near?
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here!
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny . . .
that rainy day is here!
Even though I loved you,
An' maybe I still do,
I'd rather have the one I'm with than cry again for you . . .
She don't have your magic,
An' she don't have your style,
But she don't cross her fingers when she smiles!
When she smiles,
She's like a sweet honest child,
She don't cross her fingers when she smiles!
The feeling's still still inside me,
An' I guess it's gonna stay,
I hope that you don't think that I can't turn and walk away,
Someone stood beside me through my heartaches and my trials,
She don't cross her fingers when she smiles!
She don't use the clever moves,
That players like you've known,
She can take me anywhere I'd ever care to go . . .
And if you think I'm foolin'
Then you can have a laugh on me!
But the day I sell my soul for you,
Is just a memory . . .
And if I ever see you girl,
I'll stop an' talk awhile,
I'll probably cross my fingers when I smile!
She don't cross her fingers
When she smiles!
She don't cross her fingers,
When she smiles!
Here comes more tears to cry
Here comes more heartaches by
Here comes my baby back again!
Here comes more misery
Here comes old memories
Here comes my baby back again!
My arms are open wide
To let more hurt inside
Here comes my baby back again!
She's sorry once again
Once more I'll understand
Here comes my baby back again!

and Dottie West, 1964
What's one more time?
Hold me like you'll never let me go
whisper words of love so soft an' low
it really doesn't matter anymore
once I fell for them so many times before!
What's one more time?
Even if they're only words to you
they fool me just the way they always do
it doesn't seem to stop me anymore
I've been down this road so many times before!
What's one more time?
Even though I know how it will end
still I give in every time
If I ever thought I could resist
why your tender kiss just changed my mind
What's one more time?
< instrumental break >
What's one more time?
Lay down here beside me one more time
maybe I'm a fool but I don't mind
it really doesn't matter anymore
once I fell for them so many times before!
What's one more time?
What's one more time?
What's one more time?
Words and Music by Richard Leigh
I confess to have a willingness and wanting for you
To have you here by me, near by me, all my life through
You run around
You run around
Run around, baby
Run around, baby
Some day, maybe
We'll have a love
Someday you say, yeah, someday you may
Be my girl
Hand in hand we walk, through the land we walk
Around the world
But right now
But right now
You run around
You run around
Run around, baby
Run around, baby
Some day, maybe
We'll have a love
You'll be with me 'til eternity
And be mine
Sent from above, will be my love 'til
The end of time
But right now
But right now
You run around
You run around
Run around, baby
Run around, baby
Some day, maybe
We'll have a love
I confess to have a willingness and wanting for you
To have you here by me, near by me, all my life through
When day is done
and shadows fall
I dream of you!
When day is done
I think of all
the joys we knew!
That yearning, returning,
to hold you in my arms,
won't go love, I know love,
without you, night has lost it's charms!
When day is done
and grass is wet
with twilight's dew,
my lonely heart is sinking
with the sun!
Although I miss your tender kiss
the whole day through,
I miss you most of all
when day is done!
Although I miss your tender kiss
the whole day through,
I miss you most of all
when day is done!
( To lead a better life,
I need my love to be here . . . )
Here . . . making each day of the year,
changing my life with a wave of her hand,
nobody can deny that there's something there . . .
There . . . running my hands through her hair,
both of us thinking how good it can be,
someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there . . .
I want her everywhere
and if she's beside me I know I need never care
but to love her is to meet her everywhere
knowing that love is to share
each one believing that love never dies
watching her eyes
and hoping I'm always there . . .
. . . each one believing that love never dies
watching her eyes
and hoping I'm always there . . .
. . . to be there, and everywhere,
here, there and everywhere!
Zing zing, zoom zoom,
My little heart goes boom,
When I hear this melody playin' . . .
Zing zing, zoom zoom,
A little simple tune,
Who cares what the words may be sayin' . . .
Zing zoom, zoom zoom,
You hear it once and soon,
You'll find that you're hummin' an' swayin' . . .
It's more than a waltz,
For after it halts,
It lingers with you night an' day,
With this song in mind,
Your troubles you'll find,
Zing zing an' zoom zoom away!
Zing zing, zoom zoom,
My little heart goes boom,
When I hear this melody playin' . . .
Zing zing, zoom zoom,
A little simple tune,
Who cares what the words may be sayin' . . .
Zing zing, zoom zoom,
You hear it once and soon,
You find that you're hummin' an' swayin' . . .
Get under a shower,
An' sing for an hour,
You'll feel like a million all day,
For this song is great,
For takin' off weight,
Zing zing an' zoom zoom away!
[ instrumental break ]
And ladies you can,
Get most any man,
Through your matrimonial doors,
And this song cannot miss,
And then add a kiss,
Zing zing an' zoom zoom he's yours!
Zing zing, zoom zoom,
My little heart goes boom,
When I hear this melody playin' . . .
Zing zing, zoom zoom,
A little simple tune,
Who cares what the words may be sayin' . . .
Zing zing, zoom zoom,
You hear it once and soon,
You'll find that you're hummin' an' swayin' . . .
So, whether you're young,
Or whether you're old,
Or whether you work or you play . . .
Take time out, be wise,
Get out, vocalize,
An' zing, zoom zoom zoom,
Zing zing an' zoom zoom !
Zing zing an' zoom zoom
. . . . Away!
Zing Zing ! Zoom Zoom !

Jingle bells, toy balloons,
lollipops and roller coaster rides,
Love is made of jellybeans, butterflies,
ponytails and moonlit mountain sides,
Love is made of Christmas trees, rainy days,
playin' hooky and a circus on parade,
Feelin' all this from just one kiss,
I found what love is made of . . .
Little girls, little boys,
little children must grow up one day,
Just as I did here tonight, in your arms,
when we kissed, at last I knew,
What love is really made of,
love is you!
( Love is made of bubble gum, trolley cars,
rocking horses and a teddy bear,
Love is made of holly hocks, telephones,
and a buggy ride to anywhere,
Love is made of . . . )
. . . valentines, daffodils, roman candles,
and a penny lemonade,
Feelin' all this from just one kiss,
I found what love is made of . . .
Little girls, little boys,
little children must grow up one day,
Just as I did here tonight, in your arms,
when we kissed, at last I knew,
What love is really made of,
love is you!
Love is you . . .
Jingle bells, toy balloons,
lollipops and roller coaster rides,
Love is made of jellybeans, butterflies,
ponytails and moonlit mountain sides . . . ( fade out )
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 true?
When I'm alone with only dreams of you
that won't come true, what'll I do?
< instrumental break >
What'll I do when I am wondering who

what'll I do?

Here and now dear,

With all my heart!
Well, darling, I guess it's goodbye
I'm sorry that you saw me cry
I'm sorry to embarrass you so
but hearts will be hearts you know!
I never was much for pretence
You love him an' I've no defence
It hurts, and I can't help it if it shows
hearts will be hearts you know!
But I don't apologize for loving you
I always will, I guess,
and to give you up to someone new
just breaks my heart, I confess!
Don't cry, darling, I understand,
we can't have it all like we planned
You can't help it if you love him so,
hearts will be hearts you know!
You can't help it
if you love him so,
hearts will be hearts

Well I took my baby to the carnival
an' I heard that barker yell ( Hey! Hey! )
"Come on an' win yourself a purdy Kewpie Doll,
all you gotta do is ring the bell!"
Well I swung the hammer just as hard as I could,
an' you should have heard the wild applause . . . ( Hooray! )
When "bong" went the bell
and the man said,
"Well, I guess the Kewpie Doll is yours!"( Yeah Yeah! )
I said, "Gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
or a high school banner for my wall,
'cause I got me a real live Kewpie Doll
an' she's the cutest one of them all!"
( Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! Kew Kew Kewpie Doll!
Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! )
Ah then, we walked down the midway
'till we saw a crowd an' the man said "Try your skill,
five shots for a quarter, make a duck hit the water
an' give your little baby a thrill"
Well, my baby smiled an' she kissed me once
an' I felt I was nine feet tall
Oh! five shots crashed and the five ducks splashed
an' the man gave me a Kewpie Doll!
I said, "Gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
or a high school banner for my wall,
'cause I got me a real live Kewpie Doll
an' she's the cutest one of them all!"
( Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! Kew Kew Kewpie Doll!
Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! )
Ah then, my baby said, "Honey, let m try my luck
an' knock the milk bottles off the shelf!"
You should have seen this chick, she was a dead-eye Dick
Hey! I couldn't do it better myself!
An' then my face got red and my chest swelled up
an' my eyes bugged outta my head
'cause when the prize turned out to be a Kewpie Doll
this is what my baby said, SHE SAID . . .
"Gimmie a doggie or a teddy bear
or a high school banner for my wall,
'cause I got me a real live Kewpie Doll
an' he's the cutest one of them all!"
I said, "She's the cutest one of them all!"
An' she's the cutest one of them all! ( Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! )
An' she's the cutest one of them all! ( Kew Kew Kewpie Doll! )
An' she's the cutest one of them all!
I'm out doin' the usual places,
And I'm livin' it, like young!
Then I dig me this face of all faces,
She's the craziest, like young!
She drinks coffee at Café Espresso,
She reads Kerouac , like young!
She goes where all the angry young men go,
Recites poetry, like young!
We start blowin' the pad about lovin'
And we're homin' it, like now!
We spin records on cloud number seven,
And she's reaching me, like wow!
( He's all unstrung,
‘Cause man, she's got him feelin' like young!
If she were to frosh him and go,
He's startin' to wear his hair again,
Just like a square again! )
I keep a getting' the kookiest notion.
I think maybe it's like love!
I've been feelin' a crazy emotion,
I think baby, it's like love!
Now we're ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville,
And we're makin' it like young!
Love . . . soft as April snow!
Love . . . warm as candle glow!
Love . . . love is easy go!
Now we're ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville,
And we're makin' it like young!
One day we walked along the sand
one day in early spring . . .
You held a piper in your hand
to mend it's broken wing
Now, I'll remember many a day
an' many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song
an' the shadow of a smile!
The shadow of your smile
when you are gone . . .
will color all my dreams
and light the dawn . . .
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
all the lovely things you are . . . 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,
all the joy that love can bring . . .
I will be remembering,
the shadow of your smile!

Now, when I remember spring,

I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before
I'm gonna show that gal she's the baby that I adore
When she's in my arms again
Our dreams will all come true
Then, the years between might never have been
We'll start our lives anew!
I'm gonna kiss that gal like she's never been kissed before
And though I miss that gal she's the baby I'm waitin' for
We'll never part again
She'll hold my heart again
Forever and ever more
I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before!

I may be wrong, but,
I think you're wonderful!
I may be wrong, but,
I think you're swell!
I like your style, say,
I think you're marvellous,
But I can't see
So how can I tell?
All of my shirts are unsightly,
All of my ties are a crime,
If dear in you I've picked rightly,
It's the very first time!
You came along, say,
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but,
I may be wrong!
I may be wrong, but,

Vicino al mare facciamo l'amore, a cuore a cuore ci divertiamo. É marinara questa bellezza e su questa bellezza io voglio morire.
Kiss me once, then kiss me twice,
then kiss me once again,
It's been a long, long time!
Haven't felt like this my dear,
since I can't remember when,
It's been a long, long time!
You'll never know how may dreams
I dreamed about you,
or just how empty they all seemed
without you
So, kiss me once, then kiss me twice,
then kiss me once again,
It's been a long, long time!

then kiss me once again,
It's been a long, long time!
Music by Jule Styne
and lyrics by Sammy Cahn
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Some somebody twice as smart as I!
A somebody who,
Will swear to be true,
Like you used to do with me,
Who will 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 applaudin'
From a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Like you broke mine!
I thought about walkin'
Thought about talkin'
Thought about singin'
Singin' the blues!
Thought about cryin'
Once I even thought of dyin'
But baby, most of all,
I thought about you!
Thought of just bein'
People I'm seein'
Thought about doin'
The things that they do . . .
Thought about livin'
Thought about forgivin'
But baby, most of all,
I thought about you!
Thought about just bein'
People I'm seein'
Thought about doin'
The things that they do . . .
Thought about livin'
Thought about forgivin'
But baby, most of all,
I thought about you!
But baby, most of all,
Yes, I thought about you!
Thought about you . . .
I wanna give,
I wanna give my love to you completely,
I beg of you,
I beg of you to listen to my heart!
I've never prayed like this before,
And I'm askin' you not to close the door,
For I can tame the wind and smooth the waters,
If you just let me!
( repeat last verse )
I wanna give,
I wanna give you all the strength within me,
To make a world,
To make a world that cannot fall apart!
And you can sit upon a throne,
Oh I'll give it all just for you alone,
For I can tame the wind and smooth the waters,
If you just let me!
( repeat last verse )

Perry, it's such a beautiful night,
let's take a ride? ~ Nah!
Well how about a walk thru the park? ~ No!
Would you like soda? ~ Nah!
Well, what would you like to do?
I wanna go home, with you! ~ Oh!
I wanna go home with you!
I wanna meet the family,
I'm sure that they'll approve of me
I wanna go home, with you! ~ you do?
an' nobody else will do!
Kissing goodnight at your front door
makes me love you more an' more
I wanna go home with you!
Oh! Oh! Perry, here come my two sisters
( Hi Perry!, Hi Perry! )
Hi Jay, Hi Marge!
Ah! What are you doing here? ( We're just walking! )
Well, why don't you just walk along?
Go get yourself a soda! ( Nah! )
Why don't you go to a movie? ( Nah! )
Well, what do you wanna do? ( Nah! )
We wanna go home, with you! ( Ah da dee! )
We wanna go home with you! ( What, the three of ya? )
We wanna meet your family, we know your pa an' ma will agree
We wanna go home, with you!
an' nobody else will do!
An' when we get your front door
we're gonna love you more an' more
We wanna go home . . .
We wanna go home! Why he's my date! I saw him first! ( wild chatter! )
Now wait a minute girls, don't fight, girls, just a moment, listen to me
girls, just a moment, JUST A MOMENT! ( Perry! You stay out of this! )
Oh! Oh! I lost my head!
I guess I'll go home alone,
I'm gonna go home alone!
How many arms have held you
and hated to let you go?
How many, how many I wonder?
But I really don't wanna know . . .
How many lips have kissed you
and set your soul aglow?
How many, how many I wonder?
But I really don't wanna know ( Want to know! )
So always make me wonder
always make me guess
And even if I ask you
darling don't confess . . .
Just let it remain your secret
but darling I love you so . . .
No wonder, no wonder I wonder,
Though I really don't wanna to know . . .
Though I really don't wanna to know . . .
Pass This Way Again
I'll give my hand to those who cannot see,
The sunshine or the fallin' rain.
I'll sing my song to cheer the weary along,
For I may never pass this way again!
I'll share my faith with every troubled heart,
So I shall not have lived in vain.
I'll give my hand, I'll sing my song,
I'll share my faith, because I know,
That the time is now to fulfill each vow,
For I may never pass this way again!
When I'm alone at night,
And there's no one to comfort me,
I think of you . . .
And suddenly my pillow is your face and your arms.
And when the winter wind comes chasin' after me,
I think of you . . .
And it's as though I crawl beneath the blanket
soft and warm.
How did I get from dark to daylight,
Before you happened to pass by?
How did I find my way through life,
Before you brightened up my sky?
Was there a sky at all,
Until you painted it for me?
How did I get on,
‘Till you came along?
Who knows how many times I pause in every day,
To think of you?
As often as the sun sails out upon the silent sea!
And if you're wonderin' why it is I only think of you,
Well it's because I'd like to be as close to you,
As you've become to me!
I think of you . . .
I think of you . . .
I'm sleepin'
An' right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up
From somethin' that keeps knockin' at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
An' spring up in my bed
Screamin' out the words I dread
I think I love you! ( I think I love you! )
This mornin'
I woke up with this feelin'
I didn't know how to deal with
An' so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
An' never talk about it
An' didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into my room
I think I love you! ( I think I love you! )
I think I love you!
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for!
I think I love you!
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
That I never felt this way!
( I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I got so much to think about )
Hey! I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for!
I think I love you!
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
That I never felt this way!
Believe me
You really didn't have to worry
I only wanna make ya happy
An' if you say "Hey! Go away!"
I will
But I think better
Still, I'd better stay around an' love you
Do you think I have a chance?
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?
I think I love you!
( Do you think you love me? )
I think I love you!
( Do you think you love me? )
I think I love you!
( Do you think you love me? )
I think I love you!

It is better to light just one little candle,
Than to stumble in the dark!
Better far that you light just one little candle,
All you need's a tiny spark!
If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free,
The wonderful dawn of a new day we'll see!
And, if everyone lit just one little candle,
What a bright world this would be!
Let's all light one little candle,
Why stumble on in the dark?
When the day is dark an' dreary,
And your way is hard to find,
Don't let your heart be weary,
Just keep this thought in mind!
It is better to light just one little candle,
Than to stumble in the dark!
Better far that you light just one little candle,
All you need's a tiny spark!
If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free,
The wonderful dawn of a new day we'll see!
And, if everyone lit just one little candle,
What a bright world this would be!
What a bright world
It's a quarter t' three,
There's no one in the place except you an' me.
So, set 'em up Joe, I've got a little story that you otta kno.
We're drinkin' my friend, t' the end of a brief episode,
Make it one for ma baby an' one more for the road . . .
I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine,
I'm feelin' so bad, I wish you'd make the music dreamy an' sad,
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your 'code'
Make it one for ma baby, one more for the road . . .
You'd never kno' it, but Buddy, I'm kind of a poet,
And I've got a lot of things to say.
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me,
Until it's talked away . . .
Well, that's how it goes, and Joe I kno' you're gettin' anxious t' close,
So thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear . . .
This torch that I've found, must be drowned or it soon will explode,
Make it one for ma baby, an' one more for the road . . .
That long, long road!

Arranged by Jack Andrews
I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling
just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
that any second you may suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live
Music by Frederick Loewe
with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, 1956
I am sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers!
Since my best friend an' you, became untrue
there's nothin' else for me to do!
There are no chains to hold a love grown cold,
that's what your heart soon discovers!
So, I am sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers! ( . . . lovers, forgotten love! )
And I will stay away ( I will stay away!! ) until the day
my broken heart recovers!
But now I'm sailin' on away, on heartbreak bay,
to the island of forgotten lovers!
. . . to the island of forgotten lovers!
Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
tell your pa pa-paya
you're comin' home with me . . . yip!
My sweet pa-paya mamma wears a bamboo skirt
She dances barefoot an' her feet don't hurt
We drink pa-pays by the moonlit shore
And when we kiss she hollers 'More, More, More!'
Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me! ( Yip! )
I came to Cuba for a holiday, pa-paya mama took her heart away
Vacation's over and it's time to go, and when we kiss she hollers 'No, No, No!'
Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me! ( Yip! )
< instrumental break >
Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
tell your pa pa-paya
you're comin' home with me . . . yip!
My island queen I'll build a hut for you
The floors an' doors will be the best bamboo
And 'neath the Louisiana moon above
We'll sip pa-paya and we'll love, love love!
Pa-paya, pa-paya, pa-paya, paya, paya
pa pa pa-paya!
In time we'll raise a little family
To play beneath the new pa-paya tree
We'll send your papa fifty-cent cigar
'Cause he's a proud pa-paya grand-pa-pa!
Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me!
Pa-paya mama ( Yahoo! ) pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me! ( Yip! )
Pa-paya, pa-paya, pa-paya!

No . . . not the Roosevelt's, not the Truman's,
not the Eisenhower's no, this is not that kind of show!
Not the Kennedy's, no not the Kennedy's,
just a family of four, so it couldn't be the Kennedy's
with the Kennedy's there'd have to be more than four
just a simple American, not one of the "greats"
but he happens to be President of these United States!
Onward, christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!
Christ the royal master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See his banners go!
Onward, christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!
Like a might army
Moves the church of god!
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod!
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity!
Onward, christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!
Onward. then, ye people!
Join our happy throng!
Blend with ours your voices,
In the triumph song!
Glory laud and honour,
Unto christ the king,
This through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
Onward, christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!

I've got a yearning to caress you,
One thought keeps burning in my soul,
A hungry yearning to possess you,
It's far beyond control!
I want your love for now, forever,
I want you heart and soul!
My life, I'd give to you,
Anema e core . . .
I only live for you,
Anema e core . . .
I have but one desire,
And it's to love you,
With all my heart, with all my soul,
My whole life through!
From stars I'll make your crown,
And kneel before you,
I pray you'll take my hand,
For I adore you!
Open up the doors leading to heaven,
A heaven mine and yours,
Anema e core . . .
Everyday I sent another present,
Just to let her know how very much I care . . .
Wrote a little love note with each present,
But it didn’t seem to get me anywhere . . .
My poor worried heart was almost certain,
That this love affair would never be . . .
Then I sent a dozen yellow roses,
Then from that moment she belonged to me . . .
Roses, roses, roses I thank all the roses
That bloom in the spring . . .
Love is a wonderful thing,
The rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love . . .
Roses, roses, roses I thank you for saying
What I couldn’t say . . .
Oh!, what a wonderful way,
To tell her, "i love you" each day,
With roses and roses and roses of love . . .
And roses and roses and roses of love,
And roses and roses and roses . . .
Standing here your hand in mine
let me tell you one more time
nothin' could as brightly shine
as my love for you!
Moon an' stars are out tonight
feel their glow, see their light
still they never shine so bright
as my love for you!
And when I hold you ( and ) feel you close to me
I know our sweet love will always, always be
and all the mountains, hills and rivers too
won't last as long or be as strong
as my love for you!
And when I hold you an' feel you close to me
I know our sweet love will always, always be
and all the mountains, hills and rivers too
won't last as long or be as strong
as my love for you!
And when I hold you
an' feel you close to me
I know our sweet love
will always, always be . . .
Arrivederci Roma,
Goodbye, goodbye to Rome . . .
City of a million moonlit places,
City of a million warm embraces,
Where I found the one of all the faces,
Far from home!
Arrivederci Roma,
It's time for us to part,
Save the wedding bells for my returning,
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning,
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning,
In her heart!
City of a million moonlit places,
City of a million warm embraces,
Where I found the one of all the faces,
Far from home!
Arrivederci Roma,
It's time for us to part,
Save the wedding bells for my returning,
Keep my lover's arms outstretched and yearning,
Please be sure the flame of love keeps burning,
In her heart!
Arrivederci Roma,

English lyrics by Carl Sigman
And Aubrey was her name,
And not so very ordinary girl, or name . . .
But who's to blame,
For a love that wouldn't bloom,
For the hearts that never played in tune ?
Like a lovely melody,
That everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme.
It doesn't mean a thing . . . hmmmm
And Aubrey was her name,
We tripped the light,
And danced together to the moon,
But where was June ?
No, it never came around,
If it did, it never made a sound . . .
Maybe I was absent,
Or was listening too fast,
Catching all the words,
But then, the meaning going past . . . hmmmm
Oh, how I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times around the world,
Just to be,
Closer to her, than to me.
And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her,
But I loved her just the same,
I loved her name . . .
Wish that I had found a way,
And the reasons that would make her stay . . .
I have learned to lead a life,
Apart from all the rest,
If I can't have the one I want.
I'll go without the best . . . hmmmm
Oh, how I miss the girl,
And I'd go a million times around the world,
Just to say,
She had been mine for a day!
Adeste fidelis
Laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte regem angelorum
Venite adoremus

Venite adoremus Dominum.
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels!
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Sing, choirs of angels,
Sing in exultation
Sing, all ye citizens of Heav'n above.
Glory to God
In the Highest glory!
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Can love be as warm as the ruby?
Can love be as pure as the pearl?
Just look in the heart of my love for you,
you'll find the ruby and the pearl . . .
My love will endure as the diamond,
and shine with the shimmer of gold.
It glows as the bright star above for you,
a thing of beauty to behold . . .
Come close and cling to my kiss,
stay close and share the passion of this . . .
Yes, love is as warm as a ruby,
and love is as pure as the pearl!
Just look in the heart of my love for you,
you'll find the ruby and the pearl!
You'll find the ruby and the pearl . . .

Far away places with strange-sounding names
Far away over the sea
Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Are callin', callin' me
Goin' to China or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' about
In a book that I took from the shelf
I start getting restless whenever I hear
The whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get underway
And look for those castles in Spain
They call me a dreamer, well, maybe I am
But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Those far away places with the strange-sounding names
Callin', callin' me
You are the sunshine of my life
that's why I'll always be 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.
You are the sunshine of my life
that's why I'll always be around.
You are the apple of my eye
forever you'll stay in my heart.
( 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?
You are the sunshine of my life
that's why I'll always be around.
You are the apple of my eye . . .
You! . . . ( you, you! ) I said you are ( you are! )
You are the sun! ( you are the sun! )
You are the sunshine! ( you are the sunshine! )
You are the sun . . . shine . . . of . . .
my life!
You are so beautiful . . . to me You are so beautiful . . . to me can't you see? You're everything I hoped for, you're everything I need You are so beautiful . . . to me!
You do somethin' to me,
Somethin' 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 somethin' to me,
That nobody else could do!
You . . . do . . . somethin' to me,
Somethin' 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 somethin' to me,
That nobody else could do!

You came a long way from St. Louis,
You climbed the ladder of success . . .
I've seen the flashy foreign cars
That were parked out in front of
Your fancy address!
You came a long way from St. Louis,
You broke a lot of hearts between . . .
I've met a gang of gloomy guys
Who were doin' all right
'Till you came on the scene!
You blew in from the middle-west
And certainly impressed
The population here-abouts . . .
Well baby, I got news for you,
I'm from Missouri too,
So, naturally, I got my doubts!
You got 'em droppin' by the way-side,
A feelin' I ain't gonna know . . .
You came a long way from St. Louis,
But baby, you still got a long way to go!
My, how you come up!
Hmmm, you really come on!
Hey, I'll have your address!
St. Louis woman,
You're a St. Louis doll!
You blew in from the middle-west
And certainly impressed
The population here-abouts . . .
Well baby, I've got news for you,
I'm from Missouri too,
So, naturally, I got my doubts!
You got 'em droppin' by the way-side,
A feelin' I ain't gonna know . . .
You came a long way from St. Louis,
But baby, you still got a long way to go!
You left St. Louis far behind,
Keep this little thought in mind,
You still . . . got a long way to go!
You made me love you,
I didn't wanna to do it, I didn't wanna do it,
You made me want you, and all the time you knew it,
I guess you always knew it,
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad,
But there were times, dear, you made me feel so bad . . .
You made me sigh for,
I didn't wanna tell you, didn't wanna tell you,
I want some love that's true, yes I do,
'Deed I do, you know I do,
Gimmy, gimmy me what I cry for,
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad,
You know you got the brand of kisses that I die for,
You know you made me love you !
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
There's been a lot of talk about the game of love
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
It's what everybody everywhere is thinking of

The love bug's as busy as-a he can be
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
And I got a funny feeling that he just bit me
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
{Cause love makes the world go round and around
Love makes the world go round}
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound
Cause love makes the world go round
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
I met a little guy about-a four feet small
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
Everytime I see 'em coming down the street
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
I know true love just can't be beat

Love makes the world go round}
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound

(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
A-when she misses old dad she'll come back home
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
{Cause love makes the world go round}
(and round and round)
No matter what you do or where you go
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
You get kinda lonely when the lights are low
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
Everybody's gotta have a love that's true
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
And I just gotta have you you you
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
{Cause love makes the world go round and around
Love makes the world go round}
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound
{Cause love makes the world go
Love makes the world go round
Makes the world go round}
(Yay yay and a-yay yeah)
You were meant for me
I was meant for you!
Nature patterned you, an' when she was done
you were all the sweet things rolled in one!
You're like a plaintive melody
that never lets me free
I'm content, the angels must have sent you
and they meant you just for me!
You . . .
were . . .
meant . . .
for me!
I . . .
was . . .
meant . . .
for you!
I'm content,
the angels must have sent you
and they meant you
just for me!
( So young! . . .
So young! . . . So young! . . . )
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 an' seek!
I wanna go an' bounce the moon,
Just like a toy balloon!
You and I . . .
Are just like a couple of tots!
Runnin' across the meadow . . .
An' pickin' 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,
An' a wonderful fling to be flung!
And even when I'm old an' grey . . .
( And even when I'm old an' grey . . . )
I'm gonna feel the way I do today!
( 'Cause you . . . )
You make me feel so young!
And even when I'm old an' grey . . .
( And even when I'm old an' grey . . . )
I'm gonna feel the way I do today!
( 'Cause you . . . )
You make me feel so young!
You make me feel so young!
( So Young! )
Save me the dance
where the lights go down low
save me the one they call
the dance of "love"!
When the room is dark,
every heart's aglow
save me the dance of love
an' never ever let me go!
It's our private song
and our private band
and when the dance is through
forever ever hold my hand!
Save me the dance
where the lights go down low
save me the one they call
the dance of "love"!
[ Italian lyrics ]
Perry, doesn't the moon look beautiful tonight?
~ Yeah, it's round!
Hmm! Well, aren't the stars bright?

I wanna go home with you!
Oh! Oh! Perry, here come my two sisters
( Hi Perry!, Hi Perry! )

JUST A MOMENT! ( You stay out of this! )
Well! I guess I'll go home a-lone,
I'm gonna go home alone!

You are never far away from me,
When we part I hold your memory!
You linger in my dreams,
When day has flown . . .
And through the lonely night,
I'm not alone!
When two sweethearts care, as you and I,
There's no sadness in the word, good-bye!
Because you're always in my heart my love,
Wherever I may be,
You are never far away from me!
If I told you, how I feel inside,
Would you understand the love I'm feelin'
Would you run away and hide?
I do, love you,
And I always will,
Love's not a word I've often spoken,
You make my restless heart stand still!
You are my world, my newborn soul,
Here is my heart for you to hold,
You're every dream of love come true,
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!
( I will . . . ) I will . . . ( love you . . . ) love you . . .
( Like no one before . . . )
An' should you ever ask how much I love you,
I'd say I couldn't love you more!
'Cause you're my world, my newborn soul,
Here is my heart for you to hold,
You're every dream of love come true,
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!
( You're every dream of love come true . . . )
Yes, everything I'll ever need is you!

Hey Bea!
Hey Margie!
Say, Jerry! Come on an' go with us!
Let's go to the kissin' bridge!
Oh! Great idea Rudy! ( Wow!, Let's go! )
To the old kissing bridge, on a cold Christmas day,
Every boy took his girl, for a ride on a sleigh,
And they stopped! And they kissed!
So they always had a very, Merry Christmas!
To the old kissing bridge, with it's roof made of wood,
Every old-fashioned wolf, took his red-riding hood!
And they stopped! And they kissed!
And they really had a very, Merry Christmas!
La, La La, La La, La La . . .
Whoa! Dobbin!
Whoa there, Dobbin!
Wow! It's might dark in this kissing bridge!
Hey! Hi neighbours! ( Hi! Stranger! )
But if you're with your girl, and it's not Christmas day,
And there's no kissing bridge, an' you don't own a sleigh!
If you stop ?. . . ( Margie, didn't that voice sound familiar? )
And you kissed?
June or January,
You'll feel merry,
As Christmas!
Now, to feel the glow of Christmas,
I can tell you this . . .
There's no better way of sayin'
Merry Christmas,
With a kiss!
But if you're with your girl, and it's not Christmas day,
And there's no kissing bridge, and you don't own a sleigh!
If you stop ?. . . ( It makes no difference when! )
And you kissed? ( And kiss and kiss again! )
June or January,
You'll feel merry,
As Christmas!
Gee! We had fun!
We sure did on the kissing bridge!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Yeah! Merry Christmas
La, La La, La La, La . . .

Yesterday I heard the rain,
whispering your name,
asking where you'd gone . . .
It fell softly from the clouds
on the silent crowds,
as I wandered on . . .
Out of doorways
black umbrellas came to pursue me,
Faceless people as they passed
were looking through me,
no one knew me . . .
Yesterday I shut my eyes,
face-up to the skies,
drinkin' in the rain . . .
But your image still was there
floating in the air,
brighter than a flame . . .
Yesterday I saw a city,
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain,
whispering your name,
Whispering your name . . .
Yesterday I saw a city,
full of shadows without pity,
and I heard the steady rain,
whispering your name,
whispering your name,
whispering your name . . .
You’re turnin’ night into day!
Sleepy time gal,
You’ve danced the ev’ning away!
Before each silvery star fades out of sight,
Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "goodnight,"
It’s gettin’ late and, dear, your pillow’s waitin’ . . .
Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin’ is through,
Sleepy time gal, I’ll find a cottage for you.
You’ll learn to cook and to sew,
What’s more, you’ll love it, I know!
When you’re a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o’clock sleepy time gal!
< instrumental repeat of verse >
You’ll learn to cook and to sew,
What’s more, you’ll love it, I know!
When you’re a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o’clock sleepy time gal!
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
You alone, you alone,
are the dream I have known,
bringing love to my lonely heart!
Now there's heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
Now that your eyes have told me,
You are my love my own,
Come to my arms and hold me,
I live for you alone!
Solo tu, solo tu . . .
[ Italian ]
Now there's heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
I'm gonna write words so sweet
they're gonna knock me off my feet
a lot of kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got them
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
and close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
< instrumental break >
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came
. . . from you!
There could never be a portrait of my love
for nobody could paint a dream!
You will never see a portrait of my love
for miracles are never seen!
Anyone who sees her,
soon forgets the Mona Lisa!
It would take I know, a Michael Angelo,
and he would need the glow of dawn
that paints the sky above
to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
< instrumental break >
. . . yes, he would need the glow of dawn
that paints the sky above
to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
I never loved anyone, anytime, anyplace,
With anything like the love I feel for you . . .
I never saw anyone, more than once, maybe twice,
But I had no ties until my eyes saw you . . .
I may have kissed one or two, three or four, maybe more,
But after all, I didn't fall, and who they were I can't recall . . .
For I never loved anyone, anytime, anyplace,
With anything like the love I feel for you . . .
For everything that I love, I find in you . . .
< instrumental break >
I never loved anyone, anytime, anyplace,
With anything like the love I feel for you . . .
For everything that I love, I find in you . . .
Words and Music by George R. Brown
One day we walked along the sand
One day in early spring . . .
You held a piper in your hand
To mend it’s broken wing
Now, I’ll remember many a day
An’ many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper’s song
An’ the shadow of a smile!
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone . . .
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn . . .
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things you are . . . 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,
All the joy that love can bring . . .
I will be remembering,
The shadow of your smile!
< instrumental break >

Music by Ange Lorenzo and Richard A. Whiting
with lyrics by Joseph R. Alden and Raymond B. Egan, 1925
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You've been content to let me shine
You always walked a step behind.
I was the one with,with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
Only a face without a name
I never once heard you complain.
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'with you as the wind beneath my wings!
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here, rite here in my heart
I want you to know I know the truth
I would be nothin' without you!
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings!
You are the wind beneath my wings!
Strange dear, but true dear
when I'm close to you dear
the stars fill the sky
so in love with you am I
Even without you
my arms fold about you
you know darling why?
so in love with you am I
In love with the night mysterious
the night when you first were there
in love with my joy, delirious,
when I knew that you could care!
So taunt me and hurt me
deceive me, desert me
I'm yours 'till I die
so in love, so in love,
so in love with you, my love, am I
We have nothing to remember so far, so far,
So far, we haven't walked by night and shared the light of the star
So far, your heart has never fluttered so near, so near
That my own heart alone could hear it!
We haven't gone beyond the very beginning
We've just begun to know how lucky we are
So we have nothing to remember so far, so far,
But now I'm face to face with you, and now at last we've met
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget!
But now I'm face to face with you, and now at last we've met
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget!
Surrender, why don't you surrender?
How long can your lips live without a kiss?
Surrender, I beg you surrender,
How long can your heart resist?
I'll bring you a love you can cling to,
A love that won't be untrue . . .
So please be tender,
And darling surrender,
And love me as I love you.
You're feelin' bad,
you need a friend
it seems that night won't end
doubts an' fears fill the air
midnight shadows everywhere . . .
Don't be afraid
the dawn is near
to help you face your fear
you're not alone
we're really all the same
caught in the game of "life" we're playin'
So it goes . . . if there's an answer
then nobody knows
love's always dancin' just ahead
so hope is never dead somehow it grows
So it goes . . . the sea of mystery
it ebbs an' flows
a priceless gift of old
oh the magic of a simple rose
that's life an' so it goes . . .
When lonely times weigh on your mind
and hopes are hard to find
then use the good you've had before
to help you face the world once more
there's more in you than you can see
if only you believe
dream your dreams an' if they don't come true
you'll still get along, that's life,
just live it . . .
So it goes . . . if there's an answer
then nobody knows
love's always dancin' just ahead
so hope is never dead somehow it grows
So it goes . . . the sea of mystery
it ebbs an' flows
a priceless gift of old
oh the magic of a simple rose
that's life an' so it goes . . .
Love is like a never ending melody,
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
But our song of love is slightly out of tune . . . .
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich,
Seems to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing,
Like the bossa nova love should swing . . . .
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme,
‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,
What good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune?
Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be,
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love,
We’re bound to get in tune again before too long,
There’ll be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won’t be slightly out of tune, you’ll sing along with me!
Music by Antonio Carlos Jobim

English lyrics by Jon Hendricks and Jessie Cavanaugh
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me . . . the song that I've been waiting to hear . . . Just for me, Mr. C., just for me . . . and everybody else will disappear . . .
Snowbird ( Snowbird )
Come fly away! ( Come fly away! )
With me! ( With me! ) With me! ( With me! )
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean,
The unborn grass lies waitin' for it's coat to turn to green!
The Snowbird sings the song he always sings,
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring!
When I was young, my heart was young then too,
Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do.
But now I feel such emptiness within,
For the thing I want the most in life is the thing that I can't win!
( Spread your tiny wings and fly away . . .
And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day! )
The one I love forever is untrue,
And if I could you know I that would fly away with you!
The breeze along the river seems to say,
That she'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay!
So little Snowbird take me with you when you go,
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow!
If I could, you know that I would fly away with you!
Snowbird ( Snowbird )
Come fly away! ( Come fly away! )
With me! ( With me! ) With me! ( With me! )
Little Snowbird ( Snowbird )
Come fly away! ( Come fly away! )
With me! ( With me! ) With me! ( With me! )
Little Snowbird ( Snowbird )
Come fly away . . .
Smile, though your heart is aching, smile, even though it's breaking!
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by!
If you smile through your fear an' sorrow, smile and maybe tomorrow,
you'll see the sun come shining through for you!
Light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness,
although a tear may be ever so near,
that's the time you must keep on tryin', smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
you'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you'll just smile!
That's the time you must keep on tryin',
smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
you'll find that life is still worthwhile,
if you'll just smile!
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight ( Un ha! Un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . hold you 'till the mornin' light ( Un ha! Un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight,
Oh I need you so much an' now that I have found you
I wanna feel my arms around you
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight!
Here I sit at a table all alone,
watchin' you the way I have, so many times before,
an' tonight, just like me, you're lonely too
an' the sadness that you're showin'
makes me want you even more!
So, won't you . . .
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight ( Un ha! Un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . hold you 'till the mornin' light ( Un ha! Un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight,
Oh I need you so much an' now that I have found you
I wanna feel my arms around you
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight!
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight ( Un ha! Un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . hold you 'till the mornin' light ( Un ha! Un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight . . .
Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
that'll give me a chance to get my breath back
then . . . we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
an' I don't want the feelin' to end!
We glide on a magic carpet ride
all around us stars collide
and there's poetry inside my head
it seems I can hear some haunting theme
yet there's something in your scheme
that's too real to be a dream instead!
Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
that'll give me a chance to get my breath back
then . . . we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
an' I don't want the feelin' to end!
The sound all around begins to pound
an' I know we're homeward bound
to a world we've often found before
we climb into space an' out of time
then the bells begin to chime
we're in rhythm and in rhyme, once more!
Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
that'll give me a chance to get my breath back
then . . . we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop until I say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
an' I don't want the feelin' to end!
Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
that'll give me a chance to get my breath back
then . . . we'll do it again an' again!
Don't stop . . .
Sing along with me,
Sing a happy song!
I would guarantee.
That you can't go wrong!
You will be surprised,
At the way you'll feel,
All your cares and woes will be a hazy memory!
If you'll just agree,
Sing along with me!
Don't be too quick,
To say you can't sing a lick,
There's a trick to it all!
Make believe that you're takin' a shower,
And sing it out loud,
Sing to the crowd,
You'll be feelin' ten feet tall!
Sing along with me ( Sing along with me )
Sing a happy tune ( Sing a happy tune )
Let the butterfly ( Let the butterfly )
Out of your cocoon! ( Out of your cocoon )
You can finally be ( You can finally be )
Who you wanta be ( Who you wanta be )
What you got to lose?
Forget your blues,
Now you're breakin' free ( Now you're breakin' free )
Here's the recipe! ( Here's the recipe )
Just sing along with me! ( La la, la la la . . . )
La, la la la la . . .
Sing, sing a song,
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of the good things, not bad,
Sing of the happy, not sad . . .
Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .
La, la la la la . . .
Sing ( sing . . ) sing a song ( sing . . )
Sing out loud, sing out strong,
Sing of good things, not bad,
Sing of happy, not sad . . .
Sing, sing a song,
Make it simple, to last your whole life long,
Don't worry that it's not good enough,
For anyone else to hear,
Sing, sing a song . . .
Sing, sing a song . . .
Sing, sing a song . . .
La, la la la la . . .
I heard she sang a good song,
I heard she had a style,
And so I came to see her,
To listen for a while . . .
And there she was this young girl,
A stranger to my eyes . . .
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' 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 aloud . . .
I prayed that she would finish,
But she just kept right on . . .
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' 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, this stranger,
Singing clear and strong . . .
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' 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 . . .
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Just let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .
And if your sweetie cries, just tell her,
That a smile will always pay . . .
Whenever skies are gray,
Don't you worry or fret,
A smile will bring the sunshine,
And you'll never get wet!
So, let a smile be your umbrella,

If time changes everything but one, maybe,
let it be love ( let it be love! ) let it be love ( let it be love! )
And if we cherish anything that we've done, baby,
let it be love ( let it be love! ) let it be love ( ooh, ooh, ooh! )
And if we're ever left with just one thing to say,
if all we possess is just one thing someday
If I ever take a thing from you, baby,
let it be love ( let it be love! ) let it be love ( ooh, ooh, ooh! )
And if we're ever left with just one thing to say,
if all we possess is just one thing someday
If I ever take a thing from you, baby,
let it be love ( let it be love! ) let it be love.
It takes a certain kind of somethin' special
deep in your heart, that's where it starts, deep in your heart
It takes a certain kind of somethin' special
deep in your heart, for love to come your way!
It takes a lot of true consideration
deep in your heart, that's where it starts, deep in your heart
It takes a lot of true consideration
deep in your heart, for love to come your way!
It takes a faith and trusting understanding
deep in your heart, that's where it starts, deep in your heart
It takes a faith and trusting understanding
deep in your heart, for love to come your way!
. . . for love to come your way!
( I can’t help falling in love with you. )
Wise men say, only fools rush in,
But I can’t help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I can’t help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I can’t help falling in love with you.
( Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,

When I was but a youngster
Christmas meant one thing,
That I’d be getting lots of toys that day
I learned a whole lot different
When mother sat me down
And taught me to spell ’christmas’ this way:
’c’ is for the christ child, born upon this day
’h’ for herald angels in the night
’r’ means our redeemer
’i’ means israel
’s’ is for the star that shone so bright
’t’ is for three wise men, they who travelled far
’m’ is for the manger where he lay
’a’ ’s for all he stands for
’s’ means shepard’s came
And that’s why there’s a christmas day!
And that’s why there’s a christmas day!
( Chip, chip chip! . . . )
Oh, once on a tree-top tall a little bird
sang out the sweetest song I ever heard!
Chee Chee-Oo Chee it sang to me so merrily
Chee Chee-Oo Chee the little birdie on a tree
Life's such a lovely thing, it seemed to say
if you will only sing your cares away!
Chee Chee-Oo Chee so merrily you went along
Chee Chee-Oo Chee so happily his little song!
And so . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee . . .
I sing . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee
Chee Chee-Oo Chee this happy, happy little thing!
If you . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee . . .
feel blue . . . Chee Chee-Oo Chee
Sing Chee-Oo Chee and you can be as happy too!
Life's such a lovely thing, it seemed to say
Chee Chee-Oo Chee, Oo Chee Oo Chee!

Caroling, caroling, now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling thru the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing!
Ding dong, ding dong
Christmas bells are ringing!
The first NoÃ'l, 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.
NoÃ'l, NoÃ'l, NoÃ'l, NoÃ'l
Born is the King of Israel.
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 angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem'
Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new-born king.
Silent night Holy night
All is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother an' Child
Holy infant so tender an' mild
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Silent night . . .
Holy night . . .

I’ll sing to the sun in the sky,
I’ll sing ¡®till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!
I’ll sing as I play my guitar,
I’ll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?
Will true love come my way,
On this carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?
Cara cara cara, bella bella bella, baby,
how can I express, my happiness?
Cara cara cara, bella bella bella, baby,
each word is a sweet caress . . .
Cara means 'dearest one', lovely divine,
Bella means 'beautiful', cara bella baby mine!
Cara cara cara, bella bella bella, baby,
I want you to know, my heart's aglow
Cara cara cara, bella bella bella, baby,
darling I love you so . . .

English lyrics by Ray Carter and Lucile Johnson
I tried so hard, my dear, to show
that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
Another love, before my time,
made your heart sad an' blue,
and so my heart is paying now
for things I didn't do
In anger, unkind words are said
that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart?
< instrumental break >
There was a time when I believed
that you belonged to me
but now I know your heart is shackled
to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
and melt your cold, cold heart?
Words and Music by Hank Williams, 1951
Christmas bells in the steeple,
Ringing out on Christmas morn,
But where are all the people,
Where has everybody gone ?
They're all busy with their presents,
Snug an' warm behind their doors,
Thinkin' no one was forgotten,
Empty shelves in all the stores!
Doesn't anyone remember,
As they wake up Christmas morn,
The 25th day of December,
Little baby Jesus was born?
Christmas bells in the steeple,
How their ringing seems to say,
O come all ye faithful,
Get down on your knees and pray,
Don't you know it's Christmas Day?

Here comes that song again
soft in your arms I hear the words begin
They promise this time the melody won't end
here comes that song again!
There's a tender song inside me
only your sweet voice can play
I heard it once but it disappeared
on the day you went away!
As time slipped by
I thought that I'd forgotten all the lines
but then last night we met again
and I heard them one more time!
Here comes that song again
soft in your arms I hear the words begin
They promise this time the melody won't end
here comes that song again!
With the early mornin' raindrops
dancin' on my window pane
you hold me and I hear my song
keepin' time with the fallin' rain
Now, I don't know what made you go
or brought you back last night
I only know my love for you
is a song that feels so right
Here comes that song again
soft in your arms I hear the words begin
They promise this time the melody won't end
here comes that song again!
Here comes that song again
soft in your arms I hear the words begin
They promise this time
the melody won't end . . .
Many a year ago in old sorrento
A certain ditty was quite the thing
Whenever a mother rocked her baby in sorrento
This little ditty she used to sing:
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An’ chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An’ chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep!
All the stars are in the skies ready to say "goodnight"
Can’t you see your doll is sleepy, too?
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
While she sings a lullaby to you:
Oh, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An’ chi-lawa kook-a la goombah
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep!
( chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa, and chi-lawa )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An’ chi-lawa kook-a la goombah ( la goombah! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep!
( chi, chi, chi-baba! )
Chi, chi, chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An’ chi-lawa kook-a la goombah ( la goombah! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep!
All the stars are in the skies ready to say "goodnight, goodnight"
Can’t you see your doll is sleepy, too?
Close your drowsy little eyes, mama will hold you tight
While she sings a lullaby to you, ever so sweetly!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
An’ chi-lawa kook-a la goombah ( la la goombah! chi-baba! )
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino go to sleep!
Chi-baba, chi-baba, chi-wawa
My bambino . . .

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.
The days of wine and roses,
Laugh and run away,
Like a child at play,
Through a meadowland,
Toward a closing door,
A door marked never more,
That wasn€™t there before.
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!
I love those dear hearts . . . an’ gentle people,
Who live in my home town,
Because those dear hearts . . . an’ gentle people,
Will never, ever, let you down!
They read the ’good-book’ . . . from fri ’till monday,
That’s how the weekend goes!
I’ve got a ’dream-house’ . . . I’ll build there one day,
With a picket-fence . . . an’ ramblin’ rose!
I feel so welcome . . . each time that I return,
That my happy heart keeps laughin’ like a clown
I love those dear hearts . . . an’ gentle people,
Who live an’ love in my home town!

Ah! these are my kinda people!
I will gather stars out of the blue,
For you, for you . . .
I'll 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 . . .
Oh, there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do,
For you, for you . . .

Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like,
On jupiter and mars.
In other words, hold my hand,
In other words, darling kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And 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.
Frosty the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made of coal.
Frosty the snowman,
Is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
There must have been some magic in
That old silk they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around!
Oh, frosty, the snowman,
Was alive as he could be;
And the children say
He could laugh and play,
Just the same as you and me.
Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song!
Frosty the snowman,
Knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "let’s run, and we’ll have some fun,
Now, before I melt away."
Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin’ here and there,
All around the square,
Sayin’, "catch me if you can."
He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop . . .
And only paused a moment,
When he heard him holler, "stop!"
Hmm, frosty the snowman,
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin’ "don’t you cry,
I’ll be back again some day."
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Look at frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump . . .
Over the hills of snow!
Come put your hand in mine
from this time forever
I want you close to me,
let it be forever
This world is such a changing game,
restless and insane
Still I know the love we feel,
will always be the same!
They say that all things pass,
nothin' lasts forever
But they could never know,
a world we've found together
So, darling, walk with me, through the years
through the laughter, and the tears
the love we share, will be forever!

Things just don't happen, you gotta make them happen
Girl you really made it happen to me, me!
The first time I saw that face, that look I can't erase,
girl you really made it happen to me, me!
Just how lucky can you get?
Not in my wildest dreams, would I have ever bet,
that miracles come true, an' now I know they do,
each time I hold you close to me ( close to you! )
I had such a different plan,
I lived a lonely life a solitary man
now all I want to do is just make love to you
forever and a day, what more is there to say?
Things just don't happen, you gotta make them happen
Girl you always made it happen to me, me!

Chestnuts roastin' on an open fire
Jack Frost nippin' at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
an' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

Do you remember me,
As I remember you?
I know, many years have passed,
Yet I still can't forget the love we shared.
Do you ever regret the day,
You turned and walked away?
Leaving a dream behind,
One I never could find again.
Life went on without you,
I willed it from my mind!
But still the memory lingers in my heart,
Of how we parted.
Do you remember why,
You had to say good-bye?
Do you every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!
Do you remember me,
Holding you tenderly?
Do you, every now and then,
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me,
Wishing we were together, still in love,
The way that we used to be!
The days of wine and roses,
Laugh and run away,
Like a child at play,
Through a meadowland,
Toward a closing door,
A door marked never more,
That wasn’t there before.
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,

( She's the First Lady, she's the First Lady,
she's the First Lady of the land! )
She might have been a teacher
a job that she'd adore . . .
She might have been a housewife
a wife and nothing more!
She might have been an actress
who might have played Broadway!
But my husband had to be President ( hmm . . . )
and what am I today?
I'm the 'first' lady of the land,
the 'first' lady of the land
standing on a receiving line,
winding up with an aching spine
calluses on my receiving hand,
as the 'first' lady of the land!
For every week a different hairdo,
which means another dress
those meetings with committees,
and sparing with the 'press'
those dreary formal dinners,
when I stay up 'till dawn
counting all the silver
when the guests have gone!
When they march out in single file,
and I must smile, smile, smile!
I'd rather be the second
or the third or the forth
or the fifth or the sixth
or the seventh instead
of the 'first' lady of the land!
I'm the 'first' lady of the land,
the 'first' lady of the land
entertaining at lunch or tea,
do do-gooders who call on me
telling of their noble deeds they've planned
for the 'first' lady of the land!
And oh the presents that they send me
an awful lot of junk
an un-housebroken poodle
a dehydrated skunk
a turkey for 'Thanksgiving'
potat'as in a sack
but when they send me a 'diamond'
I must send it back!
When the whole cabinet arrives
and bring their wives, wives, WIVES!
I'd rather be the second
or the third or the forth
or the fifth or the sixth
or the seventh instead
of the 'first' lady of the land!
Words and Music by Irving Berlin
Said the night wind to the little lamb
do you see what I see? ( do you see what I see? )
Way up in the sky, little lamb
do you see what I see ( do you see what I see? )
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite!
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
A song, a song, high above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea!
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
do you know what I know? ( do you know what I know? )
In your palace warm, mighty king
do you know what I know? ( do you know what I know? )
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold!
Said the king to the people everywhere ( said the king to the people everywhere! )
listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! )
Pray for peace, people everywhere ( pray for peace, people everywhere! )
listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! )
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light!
Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
If the hands of time were hands that I could hold,
I’d keep them warm and in my hands,
They’d not turn cold!
Hand in hand we’d choose the moments that should last,
The lovely moments that should have no future and no past!
The summer from the top of a swing,
The comfort and the sound of a lullaby,
The innocence of leaves in the spring,
But most of the moment when love first touched me!
All the happy days would never learn to fly,
Until the hands of time would choose to wave good-bye!

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
only the echoes of my mind!
People stop an' starin'
I can't even see their faces
only the shadows of their eyes!
Goin' where the sun keeps a-shinin'
through the pouring rain
goin' where the weather suits my clothes!
Bankin' off the north-east wind
sailin' on a summer breeze
skippin' over the ocean like a stone!

(the green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung! )
I wandered today to the hill, maggie,
To watch the scene below,
The creek and the creakin’ old mill, maggie,
As we used to do long ago!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung . . .
The creakin’ old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and I were young!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,

I can't show my face,
Can't go anyplace,
People stop an' stare,
It's so hard to bare,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town . . .
Every time we meet,
My heart skips a beat,
We don't stop to speak,
'Though it's just a week,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town . . .
We send out invitations,
To friends and relations,
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations,
Gave congratulations,
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town . . .
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,

It's the talk of the town.
It's only a paper moon,
Sailin' over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make believe,
If you believed in me!
Yes, it's only a canvas sky,
Hangin' 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 phoney as it can be,
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 phoney as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe,
If you believed in me!
When my jukebox baby takes the floor
'round the old jukebox in the candy store
The joint starts jumpin' till the roof comes tumblin' down
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'-est doll in town
(Jukebox baby) put a nickel in for Maybelline
(Jukebox baby) drop another one for Seventeen
Jukebox baby) whisper to your daddy-o three little love words
(Kokomo)
How ya gonna get your homework done
When you keep that jukebox on the run
You don't dig Latin like ya dig that crazy sound
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'-est doll in town
(Jukebox baby) I hear you knockin'
(Jukebox baby) Keep the coin box hoppin'
(Jukebox baby) Tell me sincerely
That you ain't forgettin' no Tina Marie
(Hip-hip, hop-hop, ho-ho, awwâ€'hah!!)
Oh, jukebox baby, my jukebox baby, jukebox baby
(Jukebox baby, jukebox baby, jukebox baby)
All your lunchtime money goes down the slot
You could live on air if the music's hot
You just ain't quittin' till ya rock that clock around
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'-est doll in town
(See ya later) (Alligator)
Oh hey, ring-a-dinga what a dungaree doll I've found
Run them there now
Jukebox baby, jukebox baby
You're the wingin'-est, dingin'-est, swingin'-est doll in town
Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine.
As the years disappear in the twilight of time
With a sigh we will fondly recall
All the plans that we made, how we kissed unafraid
In the shade of the old ivy wall
Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine.
Hand in hand as we stand ‘neath the old campus moon
Make believe that tomorrow is here
Picture me close to you in a dream house for two
Where the ivy grows greener each year
Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine.

A day or two ago ( A day or two ago . . . )
I thought I'd take a ride ( I thought I'd take a ride . . . )
And soon Miss Fanny Bride ( And soon Miss Fanny Bride . . . )
Was seated by my side . . .

Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,
And we . . .
We got up sot!

Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch ‘em to an open sleigh,
An' crack you'll take the lead!

This ain't for the quarterback
who lives upstairs in our house
an' this ain't for the princess
who's sleepin' down the hall!
This ain't for the other one
who looks just like her mamma
an' this ain't for the baby
who's the cutest one of all!
Jason, this is my love for you,
written down a thousand times
Jason, like the teacher makes you do
when you're bad and outta line . . .
I'm so glad you're mine!
It hurts me when they tease you
'cause you're mind's a little slower
I'd like to take the sadness
an' turn em into joy!
I watch you so hard to do
what usually comes easy
after all, to me,
you're such a special little boy!
Jason, this is my love for you,
written, written down a thousand times
Jason, like the teacher makes you do
when you're bad and outta line . . .
I'm so glad you're mine!
Jason . . . Jason!

Some people are born to be doctors,
Some are born to be lumber jacks
Some are born just to take life easy
Others are born to break their backs!
But I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby,
It's true . . .
Nobody else will do!

Some people will kiss and nothin' happens
Other hearts are made of stone
But whenever I feel our lips meet
Somethin' starts crawlin' all through my bones!
'Cause I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby,
It's true . . .
Nobody else will do!
( Just born to be . . . )
If now an' then you start to wonder
Will I be the perfect mate?
Don't you worry my purdy little darlin'
It was all arranged by fate!
'Cause I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby,
It's true . . . ( It's true, it's true! )
Nobody else will do!

Some people will search for love a lifetime
Some never feel love in their hearts
But I was born with a silver spoon
I had your love'a right from the start!
Yes! I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby,
It's true . . . ( It's true, it's true! )
Nobody else will do!

Oh! hey, wing-a-dinga
what a dungaree doll I've found!
Well then there now . . .
Jukebox baby . . . jukebox baby!
You're the wingin'est, dingin'est,
swingin'est "doll" in town!
Well I took my baby to the carnival
And I heard that barker yell
Come on and win yourself a pretty kewpie doll
All you gotta do is ring the bell
Well I swung the hammer just as hard as I could
And you should've heard the wild applause
When bong went the bell and the man said well
I guess the kewpie doll is yours
I said, give me a doggie or a teddy bear
Or a high school banner for my wall
Cause I got me a real live kewpie doll
And she's the cutest one of them all
Then we walked down the midway till we saw a crowd
And the man said try your skill
Five shots for a quarter, make a duck hit the water
And give your little baby a thrill
Well my baby smiled and she kissed me once
And I felt I was nine feet tall
Oh, five shots crashed and five ducks splashed
And the man gave me a kewpie doll
Then my baby said, honey let me try my luck
And knock the milk bottles off the shelf
You should've seen this chick, she was a dead eye dick
Hey I couldn't do better myself
And then my face got red and my chest swelled up
And my eyes bugged outta my head
Cause when the prize turned out to be a kewpie doll
This is what my baby said
She said, give me a doggie or a teddy bear
Or a high school banner for my wall
Cause I got me a real live kewpie doll
And he's the cutest one of them all
Love that runs away from me,
dreams that just won't let me be,
blues that keep on botherin' me,
chains that just won't set me free!
Too far away from you
and all your charms,
just out of reach
of my two empty arms!
Each night in dreams I see your face,
memories time can not erase,
and I awake an' find you gone,
I'm so blue and all alone!
So far away from lips
so sweet an' warm,
just out of reach
of my two empty arms!
That lonesome feelin' all the time,
knowin' you cannot be mine,
dreams that hurt me in my sleep,
vows that we could never keep!
Too far away from lips
so sweet an' warm,
just out of reach
of my two empty arms!
Here's to my lady, here's a toast to my lady,
and all that my lady means to me!
Like a hearth in the winter, a breeze in the summer,
a spring to remember is she!
Though the years may grow colder as people grow older,
it's shoulder to shoulder we'll be!
But be it sunshine or shady, here's my love to my lady,
I pray may she always love me!
Though the years may grow colder as people grow older,
it's shoulder to shoulder we'll be!
But be it sunshine or shady, here's my love to my lady,
I pray may she always love me!

Hello, young lovers, whoever 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, an' faithful, an' 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 to fly down the street in a trance!
You fly down the street,
On a chance that you'll meet,
And you meet, not really by chance.
Don't cry, young lovers, whatever 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,
I've had a love of my own!
I've had a love of my own like yours,
I've had a love of my own!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go;
Take a look in the five-and-ten,
Glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in every store,
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait
For school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go;
And, there's a tree in the Grand Hotel,
One in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is
the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait
For school to start again
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is
the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.

If I could read their minds
I kind of think I’d see
A lot of little questions there concerning me
For instance . . .
Has he aged, or did he lose weight?
I think I read somewhere that he’s 38!
He hasn’t lost his hair, he could stand a little dye!
He looks relaxed up there but what’s he like inside?
How does old perra-la unwind?
I could almost read their minds!
From my publicity
I’ll bet you’d like to know,
If I’ll stay awake thru the entire show?
You wonder what’s beneath that florida tan
Deep down inside is he . . .
A dirty old man?
What does it really take to make him lose his cool?
Does he go anywhere without that tired stool?
Does he notice girl’s behinds?
I can almost read your minds!
It doesn’t take a guy equipped with esp
To see what’s cookin’ with your curiosity!
Is "mister nice guy" just a press agent’s pitch?
His dearest friends say he’s a . . .
You never thought you’d see me in las vegas ’live’
I haven’t played a "club" since 1885!
It’s spelled out in dollar signs ( you better believe it! )
I can almost read your minds!

I wish it could be Christmas forever,
I wish that glow would never fade away!
With friends and loved ones near us,
‘Round the Christmas tree so tall,
We hear the church bells ringing,
Dear Lord, bless us one and all!
I know I’d be content now and forever,
If those Christmas lights would sparkle every day,
There’d be candy canes and mistletoe,
Children singing carols we know ( . . . singing carols we know, )
If love and peace on earth would always stay,
I know it could be Christmas every day!
Music by Nick Perito
and lyrics by Richard B. Matheson
I wish we didn't have to say goodnight
I wish that I could stay and hold you tight
I wish, I wish, I wish, by every star above
That we could linger long enough to fall in love!
I hate to be the one to break away
When I've a heart that you could take away
I hate to miss the kisses that your lips invite
I wish we didn't have to say goodnight!
Look at that moon, beamin' out loud
He knows that I'm dreamin' out loud
He sort of seems to say the time is right
I wish we didn't have to say goodnight!
I wish we didn't have to say goodnight!

I'll be home for Christmas

Christmas Eve will find me

I'll be home for Christmas

When you were a kid
and you wanted a 'doll'
you got it!
Don't ask how you did,
but when you were a kid
and you wanted a 'doll'
you got it!
You carefully laid out a plan,
when you were a kid
'twas a doll . . .
And now it's a man!
I'm gonna get em!
I'm gonna get em!
Instead of givin' up
an' throwin' in the towel
I'm gonna keep on fightin'
fair or fowl
until I get em!
I'm gonna em!
I'm gonna wear my jewels
an' my ermine wrap
an' if I have to drop my shoulder strap
I'm gonna get em!
I'm gonna em!
An' when I've got him
where I think he otta be . . .
I'm gonna love em, love em
My mission in life will be to 'love em'
until he loves me!
I'm gonna get em!
Hmm, I'm gonna get em!
I'll back him in a corner
'till he squirms an' twists
an' if I must put handcuffs
on his wrists
I'm gonna get em!
I'm gonna get em!
He'll know the facts of life
an' when he understands
I'll put a 'shotgun' in my father's hands
an' that'll get em!
I'm gonna em!
An' when I've got him
where I think he otta be . . .
I'm gonna hug em, hug em
I'll hug em and if I have to slug em
he's gonna love, he's gonna love
he's gonna love me!
Words and Music by Irving Berlin
Just let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .
And if your sweetie cries, just tell her,
That a smile will always pay . . .
Whenever skies are gray,
Don't you worry or fret,
A smile will bring the sunshine,
And you'll never get wet!
So, let a smile be your umbrella,
On a rainy, rainy day . . .

Allongés sur la plage
Les cheveux dans les yeux
Et le nez dans le sable
On est bien tous les deux
C'est l'été, les vacances
Oh, Mon Dieu, quelle chance!
Il y a le ciel, le soleil et la mer
Il y a le ciel, le soleil et la mer
Ma cabane est en planches
Et le lit n'est pas grand
Tous les jours c'est dimanche
Et nous dormons longtemps
A midi sur la plage
Les amis de notre âge
Chantent tous: le ciel, le soleil et la mer
Chantent tous: le ciel, le soleil et la mer.
Et le soir, tous ensemble
Quand nous allons danser
Un air qui te ressemble
Viens toujours te chercher
Il parle de vacances
Et d'amour et de chance
En chantant: le ciel, le soleil et la mer
En chantant: le ciel, le soleil et la mer.
Quelque part en septembre
Nous nous retrouverons
Et le soir dans ta chambre
Nous le rechanterons
Malgré le vent d'automne
Et les pluies monotones
Nous aurons: le ciel, le soleil et la mer
Nous aurons: le ciel, le soleil et la mer.

Laroo laroo
lilli bolero,
laroo laroo
lilli bolero . . .
That's a magic sayin'
That I heard one day in Napoli;
When a fortune teller
In a dim lit cellar
said to me . . .
'You say laroo lilli bolero;
And just like that,
Quick as an arrow!
You'll find the girl who's meant for you.'
And sure enough it all came true,
Laroo laroo lilli bolero!

I wish I had a record
of the promises you made
so that I could play it back to you.
That record would remind you,
once, you said love wouldn't fade
and that you would never be untrue!
What happened to that cottage
of which we always spoke?
Was it just a pipe dream
that went up in smoke?
I wish I had a record
of how close you said we'd be
so that I could play it back to you,
and maybe you'd come back to me!

of how close you said we'd be
so that I could play it back to you . . .
and maybe you'd come back . . .
to me!

I love you, I love you, there's no other way
Just one way to say 'I love you'
I love you, I love you, and try as I may
That's all I can say 'I love you'
Much more could be said if I thought with my head
But I only can think with my heart
I love you, I love you, and yearn for the day
The day when you'll say 'I love you'

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
With Mitchell Ayres' Orchestra and Chorus
Ah! when my jukebox baby takes the floor
'round the old jukebox in the candy store
the joint starts jumpin' till the roof comes tumblin' down!
( Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah,
shooby-doo-wah! )
Jukebox baby,
you're the swingin'est doll in town!
( Jukebox baby! ) Put a nickel in for Maybelline
( Jukebox baby! ) drop another one for seventeen
( Jukebox baby! ) whisper to your daddy-o
three little love words ( Ko-ko-mo! )
How ya gonna get your homework done
when you keep that jukebox on the run?
You don't dig Latin like ya dig that crazy sound
( Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah,
shooby-doo-wah )
Hmmm . . .
Jukebox baby . . .
you're the swingin'est doll in town!
( Jukebox baby! ) I hear you knockin'
( Jukebox baby! ) Keep the coin box hoppin'
( Jukebox baby! ) Tell me sincerely
That you ain't forgettin' no ' Tina Marie'
( Hip-hip, hop-hop, ho-ho, hah hah! )
Oh! jukebox baby . . .
my jukebox baby . . .
jukebox baby!
( Ju-jukebox baby . . . jukebox baby . . .
jukebox baby! )
All your lunch time money goes down the slot
You could live on air if the music's hot
You just ain't quittin' till ya rock that clock around!
( Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah,
shooby-doo-wah )
Da de dah de dah! . . .
Jukebox baby . . .
you're the swingin'est doll in town!
Hah!! . . .
( See ya later! . . . Alligator! )
Oh! hey, wing-a-dinga
what a dungaree doll I've found!
Well then there now . . .
Jukebox baby . . . jukebox baby!
You're the wingin'est, dingin'est,
swingin'est 'doll' in town!

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing ( And heav'n and nature sing! )
And heav'n and nature sing ( And heav'n and nature sing! )
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy ( Repeat the sounding joy! )
Repeat the sounding joy ( Repeat the sounding joy! )
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love ( And wonders of His love! )
And wonders of His love ( And wonders of His love! )
And wonders, and wonders of His love.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh!
Dashing through the snow ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
In a one-horse open sleigh ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
O’er the fields we go ( o'er the fields, jingle, jingle! )
Laughin’ all the way!
Bells on Bob-Tail ring ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Makin’ spirits bright ( la, la, la la! )
What fun it is to ride an’ sing,
A sleighing song tonight!
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
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 ( A day or two ago . . . )
I thought I’d take a ride ( I thought I’d take a ride . . . )
And soon Miss Fanny Bride ( And soon Miss Fanny Bride . . . )
Was seated by my side . . .
( The horse was lean and lank )
Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,
And we . . .
We got up sot!
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
( Oh what fun it is to ride . . . )
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
( Oh what fun it is to ride . . . )
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!
Now the ground is white ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Go it while you’re young ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Take the girls tonight ( Take the girls tonight . . . )
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a Bob-Tailed Nag ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch ‘em to an open sleigh,
An’ crack you’ll take the lead!
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride . . .
In a one-horse open sleigh!

( One Day Is Like Another )
One day is like another,
The sun climbs in the sky,
The twilight brings the echo,
Of your last goodbye!
One day is like another,
The waves cry on the shore,
This empty world is whirling,
Like the day before!
The stars above are quiet eyes,
They only watch to see if we're together,
They never seem to realize,
You didn't mean your love would last forever!
The sun will rise tomorrow,
And circle in the blue,
One day is like another,
Lonely without you!
Un giorno dopo l'altro
la vita se ne va.
Doani sará un giorno uguale a ieri.
Un giorno dopo l'altro,
One day is like another . . .
When it's twilight on the trail,
And I jog along,
The world is like a dream
And the ripple of the stream is my song . . .
When it's twilight on the trail,
And I rest once more,
My ceiling is the sky
And the grass on which I lie is my floor . . .
Never ever have a nickel in my jeans,
Never ever have a debt to pay,
Still I understand what real contentment means,
Guess I was born that way . . .
When it's twilight on the trail,
And my voice is still,
Please plant this heart of mine
Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill . . .
( Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill . . . )
When it's twilight on the trail . . .
We've only just begun, to live,
White lace an' promises,
A kiss for luck an' we're on our way . . .
( We've only just begun! )
Before the rising sun, we fly,
So many roads to choose,
We start out walkin' an' learn to run . . .
An' yes, we've just begun . . .
Sharin' horizons that are new to us,
Watchin' the signs along the way,
Talkin' it over, just the two of us,
Workin' together day to day . . .
Together . . . ( Together! )
An' when the evening comes, we smile,
So much of life ahead,
We'll find a place where there's room to grow . . .
We've only just begun ( . . . just begun! )
We've only just begun ( We've only just begun! )
Sharin' horizons that are new to us,
Watchin' the signs along the way,
Talkin' it over, just the two of us,
Workin' together day to day . . .
Together . . . ( Together! )
An' when the evening comes, we smile,
So much of life ahead,
We'll find a place where there's room to grow . . .
We've only just begun ( . . . just begun! )
We've only just begun ( We've only just begun! )
We've only just begun . . .
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away!
So, will you please say hello to the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long!
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go,
I was singin' this song:
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
So, will you please say hello to the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long!
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go . . .
I was singin' this song:
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
but I know we'll meet again some sunny day!
We'll meet again, we'll meet again . . .
What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?
It seems that I’m the only one that I have been thinkin’ 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!
Why can’t I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I’ll kno’ what kind of fool I am!

Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine
outta the fallin' rain!
Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow
an' fill my cup again!
Well, I've seen the steel an' the concrete crumble
shine on me again!
The proud and the mighty all have stumbled
shine on me again!
They say that the tree of lovin'
shine on me again!
Grows on the bank of the river of sufferance
shine on me again!
Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine
outta the fallin' rain!
Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow
an' fill my cup again!
If only I could heal your sorrow
shine on me again!
I'd help you to find a new tomorrow
shine on me again!
Well, I've seen the steel an' the concrete crumble
shine on me again!
The proud and the mighty all have stumbled
shine on me again!
Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine
outta the fallin' rain!
Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow
an' fill my cup again!
Only you can climb the mountain
shine on me again!
If you wanna drink from the golden fountain
shine on me again!
Yeah!
Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine
outta the fallin' rain!
Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow
an' fill my cup again!
Everybody!
Weave, weave, weave me the sunshine
outta the fallin' rain!
Weave me the hope of a new tomorrow
an' fill my cup again!
Sleigh bells ring; are you list’nin’?
In the lane, snow is glist’nin’,
A beautiful sight, we’re happy to night
Walkin’ 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
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!
In a meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown;
Hell 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
Walkin’ in a winter wonderland!
( Now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping,
Now the time has come to part,
The time for weeping! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Now, the village mission bells are softly ringing,
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing ( . . . singing! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Where ever you may be, I'll be beside you ( . . . beside you! )
Although you're many million miles away!
Each night I'll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you ( . . . to guide you! )
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day . . .
Now, the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
But the memories we share are there to borrow ( . . . no sorrow! )
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
Vaya Con Dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love . . .
( Now the time has come to say goodbye! )

Dear Perry . . .
Would you be so kind,
to fill a request,
and sing the song I like best?
Woo, he's watchin' the choo choo,
Woo, he watchin' the train!
Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the trains go by
Wish I had the ticket that I can't afford
Hear that old conductor holler "All Aboard!"
Wonder how this world looks, outside of picture books
Rocky mountains, rollin' plains an' desert skies
Passin' before my eyes
When the whistle blows toot toot toot,
the engine goes chug chug
And I hear that bell go clang clang clang,
and my heart gives a tug tug tug
Watchin' the trains go by, I'm just a small town guy
Wishin' I could hurry up an' start to pack
Grab my gal and hop the train an' not come back
Instead of that I'm sitting by the railroad track,
Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the trains go by!
There's a choo choo comin' down the track,
I can almost see it's smoky stack
But it ain't no use, alas I lack
Guess I'll always be here, watchin' the trains go by!
Oh! how I'd love to stop it! ( Watchin' the trains go by! )
How I'd love to hop it!
Wish I had a ticket that I can't afford ( Ho Ho Ho! )
Hear that old conductor holler "Yes, All Aboard!"
( I often wonder how this world looks . . . ) Like to see some traffic!
( outside of picture books . . . ) Outside the National Geographic!
Rocky mountains, rollin' plains an' desert skies ( Ho Ho Ho! )
Passin' before my eyes
When the whistle blows toot toot toot,
the engine goes chug chug chug chug
And I hear that bell go clang clang clang,
and my heart gives a tug tug tug
I'm watchin' the trains go by, I'm just a small town guy
Wishin' I could hurry up an' start to pack
Grab my gal and hop the train an' not come back
Instead of that I'm sitting by the railroad track,
Watchin' the trains go by, watchin' the trains go by!
Woo, I'm watchin' the trains go by . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . .
Woo, I'm watchin' the trains go . . . Watchin' the trains go by . . .
Moon shinin' bright, up in the sky,
Looks down on me and I know why,
Even the stars up in the blue,
Seem to be shining for no one but you!
Honey, honey, bless your heart,
You're the 'honey' that I love so well!
I'd die for you, if you'd only be true,
You're the 'honey' that I love so well'

I'd die for you, if you'd only be true,

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .
Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me.
Lonely rivers flow
to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh,
'Wait for me, wait for me'
'I'll be comin' home, wait for me!'
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch
a long, lonely time . . .
Time goes by so slowly
an' time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love,
I need your love,
God speed your love to me

Memories . . . like the corners of my mind
misty, water-coloured, memories
of the way we were!
Scattered pictures, of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
for the way we were!
Can it be that it was all so simple then,
or, has time rewritten every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again,
tell me, would we, could we?
Memories . . . may be beautiful, and yet,
what's too painful to remember
we simply choose to forget
so it's the laughter, we will remember,
whenever we remember,
the way we were!
. . . the way we were!
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!
Oh . . . but you're lovely
with your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft
there is nothing for me but to love you
just the way you look tonight!
With each word your tenderness grows
tearing my fear apart
and that laugh that 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!
. . . just the way you look
tonight!
Kiss me each morning for a million years,
Hold me each evening by your side,
Tell me you love me, for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye!
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss,
Soften my dreams with a sigh,
After you've loved me for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye!
If you must go, I won't grieve,
If you just wait a lifetime before you leave . . .
If you must go, I won't say no,
Just so we can say that we tried,
Tell me you love me for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye!
Then you can tell me goodbye . . .
There is no Christmas
like a home Christmas
with your Dad and Mother,
Sis an' Brother there!
With their hearts humming
at your home comin'
and that Merry Yuletide spirit
in the air!
( You can feel that
Yuletide spirit! )
Christmas bells, Christmas bells,
ringing loud an' strong
follow them, follow them,
you've been away too long!
There is no Christmas
like a home Christmas
for that's the time of year
all roads lead home!
( Merry Christmas,
Merry, Merry Christmas! )
Christmas bells, Christmas bells,
ringing loud an' strong
follow them, follow them,
you've been away too long!
There is no Christmas
like a home Christmas
for that's the time of year . . .
the time when all roads lead home!
La, la, la la . . .
It's water . . . melon weather,
that summer kind of weather,
when people get together an' sing!
It's the time of year the stars
seem to dance with laughter
an' the moon's so big an' ripe
it can hardly climb!
So, why don't you meander
to your best gal's veranda
an' sorta, kinda, hand her the ring?
For it's the sweetheart kissin' season,
and all the world's in rhyme,
when it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time!
This is the time to sing
this kind of purdy little ditty
a walkin' along an' singin' a song
an' clinging to someone purdy,
the type of a tune to go with the moon
that's sailin' along a way on high!
After strollin' a while, for maybe a mile,
remember to stop an' pop the question!
if your timin' is right, your future is bright,
as bright as a watermelon sky!
An' then when you found a bench for two,
you found your cue to linger
the chance you sought, to show what you bought,
you happily thought to bring her,
to cinch the thing, you give her the ring,
you purchased from the five an' dime!
Take her in your arms an' whisper,
that you are mine all mine,
with that line to sell, I'm here to tell,
that you'll do well in watermelon time!
For it's the sweetheart kissin' season,
and all the world's in rhyme,
when it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time!
Music by Hoagy Carmichael
with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day!
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
nothing seems to be the same old way!
Think about the love that burns within my heart for you,
the good-times we had before you went away!
Walk right back to me this minute,
bring your love to me don't scent it!
I'm so lonesome every day!
These eyes of mine that gave you lovin' glances once before,
changed to shades of cloudy gray!
I want so much to see you just like before,
I've got to know you're comin' back to stay!
Please believe me when I say it's great to hear from you,
but there's a lot of things a letter just can't say!
Walk right back to me this minute,
bring your love to me don't scent it!
I'm so lonesome every day!
( Now . . . I'm so lonesome! . . .
Now . . . I'm so lonesome! )
I'm so lonesome every day!

‘Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse!
The stockings all hung
by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there!
The children were nestled
all safe in their beds,
while visions of sugarplums
danced in their heads!
And Mom in her kerchief
and I in my cap,
had just settled down
for a long winter’s nap!
When out on the lawn
there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed
to see what was the matter!
Away to the window
I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash!
The moon on the breast
of the new fallen snow,
gave the lustre of midday
to object below!
When what to my wandering eyes
should appear,
but a miniature sleigh
and eight tiny reindeer!
With a little ol’ driver
so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment
it must be St. Nick!
More rapid than eagles
his courses they came,
as he whistled and shouted
and called them by name:
"Now Dasher,
now Dancer,
now Prancer,
now Vixen,
on Comet,
on Cupid,
on Doner
an’ Blitzen!"
To the top of the porch,
to the top of the wall,
now dash-away, dash-away,
dash-away all!
As dry leaves
before the wild hurricane fly,
when they meet with an obstacle
mount to the sky.
So, up to the housetop
the courses they flew,
with a sleigh full of toys
and St. Nicholas too!
And then in a twinkling
I heard on the roof,
the prancing and pawing
of each little hoof!
As I drew in my head
and was turning around,
down the chimney St. Nicholas
came with a bound!
He was dressed all in fur
from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished
with ashes and soot!
A bundle of toys
he had flung on his back,
and he looked like a peddler
just opening his pack!
His eyes how they twinkled,
his dimples how merry,
his cheeks were like roses,
his nose like a cherry!
His drawl little mouth
was drawn up like a bow,
and the beard of his chin
was a white as the snow!
The stump of his pipe
he held tight in his teeth,
and the smoke it encircled his head
like a wreath!
He had a broad face
and a round little belly,
that shook when he laughed
like a bowl full of jelly!
He was chubby and plump,
a right jolly old elf,
I laughed when I saw him
in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye
and a twist of his head,
soon gave me to know
I had nothing to dread!
He spoke not a word
but went straight to his work,
and filled all the stockings,
then turned with a jerk!
An’ laying a finger
along side his nose,
an’ giving a nod,
up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle,
an’ away they all flew
like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim
as he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to All,
and to All a Goodnight!"
Hmmm
He wore the rose tattoo,
To prove his love was true . . .
But hearts can lie, so why deny,
That roses fade and love can die . . .
She'll wait her whole life through,
Like fools an' dreamer's do . . .
She'll go on caring for one who's wearing,
The rose . . . the rose tattoo . . .
She'll wait her whole life through,
Like fools an' dreamer's do . . .
She'll go on caring for one who's wearing,
The rose . . . the rose tattoo . . .
The songs they're playin' that we both romanced to,
Those lovely songs we stayed up late and danced to,
They taught me where my heart belongs,
These are the songs I love!
The tender melodies we often sighed to,
That special one we said good-bye and cried to,
Because they righted all the wrongs,
These are the songs I love!
The happy rhymes, the underscored,
The happy time when we found spring together.
The pretty themes, that underscored the pretty dreams,
That make us cling together!
These songs we'll call our own and face the years with,
We'll face the laughter, yes, and face the tears with,
They'll help us through the rain and shine,
These songs I love because these songs are yours and mine!
(Verse)
Rumors fly and you can't tell where they start,
Speci'lly when it concerns a person's heart.
I've heard tales that could set my heart aglow,
Wish I knew if the things I hear are so.
(refrain)
They say that falling in love is wonderful,
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, and,
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful,
Wonderful, in ev'ry way so they say.
(verse)
Rumors fly and they often leave a doubt,
But you've come to the right place to find out.
Ev'rything that you've heard is really so
I've been there once or twice and I should know.
(refrain)
They say that falling in love is wonderful,
Wonderful, so they say.
And with a moon up above, its wonderful,
It's wonderful, so they tell me.
To leave your house some morning and without any warning,
You're stopping people shouting that love is grand, and
To hold a girl in yur arms is wonderful,
Wonderful, in ev'ry way, so they say.
( All Over the World )
There's a kind of a hush, all over the world, tonight,
all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love!
You know what I mean?
Just the two of us, with nobody else in sight,
and I'm feelin' good just holdin' you tight!
So, listen very carefully, closer now and you will see
what I mean ( see what I mean? ) it isn't a dream ( I mean, it isn't a dream! )
the only sound that you will hear is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you!" ( I love you! ) forever and ever!
There's a kind of a hush, all over the world, tonight,
all over the world you can hear the sound of lovers in love!
There's a kind of a hush ( kind of a hush! )
all over the world! ( all over the world, tonight! )
All over the world ( you can hear the sound of lovers in love! )
You know what I mean?
Just the two of us ( two of us! ) and nobody else in sight,
there's nobody else and I'm feelin' good,
just holdin' you tight ( ever so tightly! )
So, listen very carefully, closer now and you will see
what I mean ( see what I mean? ) it isn't a dream ( I mean, it isn't a dream! )
the only sound that you will hear is when I whisper in your ear
"I love you!" forever and ever!
There's a kind of a hush ( kind of a hush! )
all over the world (a hush, all over the world, tonight! )
all over the world you can hear the sound
of lovers in love! ( I love you! )
You know what I mean? ( I love you! )
It isn't a dream! ( I love you! )
You know what I mean? ( La, la la la! )
I love you!
Kiss me, kiss me baby,
That's what I like!
Hold me, hug me, pet me baby,
That's what I like!
You don't have to give me,
Clever conversation!
I just want affection,
Not an education!
Kiss me, hold me, hug me baby,
That's what I like you to do!
Love me, love me,
Love me baby too!

and Glenn Reeves
When she don't sweet talk anymore,
Her kiss ain't like it was before,
It's time you added up the score, my friend,
That's the beginning of the end.
She keeps you waitin' for a date,
Makes no excuse for bein' late,
Wake up an' recognize your fate, my friend,
That's the beginning of the end.
What she's doing to you, she did to me,
But I was in love, so how could I see,
Better get wise, better beware,
Or one of these days you'll turn around
an' she won't be there!
Don't say that you were never told,
I know that character of old,
When she starts strayin' from the fold, my friend,
That's the beginning of the end!
< instrumental verse >

I never said I loved you as I should have done
I never told you darling you're the only one
Will I do on regretting now my whole life through
The things I didn't do?
I never held my arms around you long enough
I never dared to make my kisses strong enough
Will I do on regretting now my whole life through
The things I didn't do?
I was too much afraid, afraid to get burned
In a one way romance!
So now I'm alone, too late I have learned
I never gave love a chance!
But if there is an answer to my every prayer
If you can find within your heart that you still care
I'll gladly spend my life just makin' up to you
The things I didn't do!
I never gave love a chance!
But if there is an answer to my every prayer
If you can find within your heart that you still care
I'll gladly spend my life just makin' up to you
The things . . . The things I didn't do!
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
and 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
it's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love!
I see your face in every flower, your eyes in stars above
it's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love!
It's just the thought of you,
the very thought of you,
my love!
Two loves have I, and they tear me apart,
Two loves have I, both are in my heart,
One is a flower, and the other a flame,
Two loves have I, but they're not the same . . .
When I'm in a gay mood, 'tis then my light love I crave,
Then again at times my other love can make me a slave,
I can't deny, that to both I am true,
Two loves have I, both of them are you . . .

I can't deny, that to both I am true,
Two loves have I, both of them are you . . .

When you're smilin'
When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
When you're laughin'
When you're laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through.
But, when you're cryin',
You bring on the rain,
So, stop you're sighin',
Be happy again!
Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
When you're smilin'
When you are smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
An' when you're laughin'
An' really laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through.
But, when you're cryin',
You bring on the rain,
So, stop you're sighin',
And be happy again!
Oh! Keep on smilin' ( Keep right on smilin' )
'Cause when you're smilin' ( 'Cause when you're smilin' )
The whole world smiles with you.
Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you!

Two lost souls, on the highway of life,
we ain't even got a sister or brother!
But ain't it just great, ain't it just grand,
we got each other!
Two lost ships, on a stormy sea,
one with no sail, an' one with no rudder!
But ain't it just great, ain't it just grand,
we got each other!
Two lost sheep in the wilds of the hills,
far from the other Jack's an' Jill's . . .
We wondered away and went astray,
but we ain't fussin' 'cause we got us-en!
We're two lost souls, on the highway of life,
an' there is no one with whom we would ruther!
Say, ain't it just great, and ain't it just grand,
we got each other!

Mamma said no, so we eloped,

Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh.
I dreamt of paradise for two. ( My lovely Leilani )
You are my paradise completed. ( My lovely Leilani )
You are my dream come true.
Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh,
Tropic skies are jealous while they shine. ( My lovely Leilani )
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes. ( My lovely Leilani )
Jealous because you're mine.
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes. ( My lovely Leilani )
Jealous because you're mine.
Sweet Leilani, heavenly flower oh,
Nature's fashion roses kissed with dew. ( My lovely Leilani )
And then she placed them in a bower. ( My lovely Leilani )
It was the start of you.
My lovely Lei-lan-i.

We kiss in a shadow
we hide from the moon
our meetings are few
and over too soon!
We speak in a whisper
afraid to be heard
when people are near
we speak not a word!
Alone in our secret
together we sigh
for one smiling day
to be free!
To kiss in the sunlight
and say to the sky
behold and believe what you see
behold how my lover loves me!

I love you,
Hums an April breeze,
I love you,
Echo the hills!
I love you,
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!
It's spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies!
I love you,
That's the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me
I love you . . .
Hums an April breeze,
I love you . . .
Echo the hills!
I love you . . .
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!
It's spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies! ( mellow, melodies . . . )
I love you,
That's the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me.
And it all belongs,
To you and me!
There never was a night so beautiful,
As this night here with you under the stars,
No music ever was so danceable,
No one as romance-able,
As you are . . .
There never was a night so beautiful,
It seems I'm on the planet Mars,
And yet they say it's not unusual,
For people to feel this way,
The way I do . . .
They say it happens when the one you love,
Loves you!
And yet they say it's not unusual,
For people to feel this way,
The way I do . . .
They say it happens when the one you love,
Loves you!
Smile/How Deep Is the Ocean?/This Nearly Was Mine
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
Smile, though your heart is aching,
smile, even though it's breaking!
When there are clouds in the sky,
you'll get by!
If you smile through your fear an' sorrow,
smile and maybe tomorrow,
you'll see the sun come shining through
for you!
Light up your face with gladness,
hide every trace of sadness,
although a tear may be ever so near,
that's the time you must keep on tryin',
smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
you'll find that life is still worthwhile,
if you'll just smile!
That's the time you must keep on tryin',
smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
you'll find that life is still worthwhile,
if you'll just smile!
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?
And if I ever lost you,
how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean,
how high is the sky?
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 dreams,
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 sayin' that paradise
once nearly was mine!
Only to fly as day
flies from moonlight!
Now, now I'm alone
still dreaming of paradise,
still sayin' that paradise
once nearly was mine!
You are never far away from me,
When we part I hold your memories
When day has flown . . .
And through the lonely night,
I'm not alone!
There'll never be another night like this
a girl like you, to hold an' kiss!
Oh, there'll never be another night like this
a girl like you, to love!
I've been livin' in the past, hangin' on to yesterday
walkin' down a sad road only leads a man one way
there are shadows in my eyes, empty fields in my heart
but you brought all the feelings back, an' given me a start!
There'll never be another night like this
a girl like you, to hold an' kiss!
Oh! . . . there'll never be another night like this
a girl like you, to love!
Touchin' you is touchin' me, like a spirit doin' free
if the end should come, this is the place I'd choose to be
you're a second chance at life, and it's better than the first
for you filled all my senses up, an' quenched a dyin' thirst!
There'll never be another night like this
a girl like you, to hold an' kiss!
Oh! . . . there'll never be another night like this
a girl like you, to love!
There'll never be
another night like this!
Don't let go! . . . I won't let go!
Show everything there is to show!
There'll never be another night like this
a girl like you, to hold an' kiss!
Oh! . . . there'll never be another night like this
a girl like you, to love!
There'll never be
another night like this . . . to fade
Cominciamo ad amarci questa sera.
Cominciamo con un bacio piano piano.
Poi diremo le cose di sempre
ma saranno come nuove per noi.
Cominciamo ad amarci per la vita.
Cominciamo a tenerci per la mano.
Ed andremo padroni delmondo
Innammorati, innammorati cosÃ
Cominciamo ad amarci per la vita.
Cominciamo a tenerci per la mano.
Ed andremo padroni delmondo
Innammorati, innammorati cosà . . .

I love you truly, truly dear,
life with it's sorrow, life with it's tear,
fades into dreams when I feel you are near,
for I love you truly,
truly dear!
A love 'tis something, to feel your kind hand,
Ah yes, 'tis something, by your side to stand,
gone is the sorrow, gone doubt and fear,
for you love me truly,
truly dear!
I can't deny dear, I made you cry dear,
and threw our love away
Now that I've said I'm sorry,
what more is there to say?
One harsh word spoken, left two hearts broken,
must we go on this way?
With all my heart I'm sorry!
What more is there to say?
Won't you forgive me, and say you'll give me
just one more chance, and then . . .
Let's talk it over
and start all over again!
I'd rather die dear, than see you cry dear
on bended knee I pray
What good is life without you?
What more is there to say?
Won't you forgive me, and say you'll give me
just one more chance, and then . . .
Let's talk it over
and start all over again!
I'd rather die dear, than see you cry dear
on bended knee I pray
What good is life without you?
What more is there to say?

(Verse)
Rumors fly and you can't tell where they start,
Speci'lly when it concerns a person's heart.
I've heard tales that could set my heart aglow,
Wish I knew if the things I hear are so.
(refrain)
They say that falling in love is wonderful,
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, and,
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful,
Wonderful, in ev'ry way so they say.

In my loneliness . . .
when you're gone and I'm all by myself,
an' I need your caress,
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 missing you brings,
soon is gong 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 out of the sky, for what else can I do?
I will wait for you,
meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me . . .

I remember to this day,
the bright red Georgia clay,
how it stuck to the tires after the summer rain . . .
Will-power made that ol' car go,
a woman's mind told me that it's so,
Oh! how I wish we were back on the road again . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named Boo,
travelin' and livin' off the land . . .
Me an' you an' a dog named Boo,
How I loved bein' a free man . . .
I can still recall,
the wheat fields of St. Paul,
and the mornin' we got caught robbin' from an old hen . . .
Old MacDonald, he made us work,
but then he paid us for what it was worth,
another tank of gas an' back on the road again . . .
Well, I'll never forget that day,
we motored stately into Big L.A.
the lights of the city put settling-down in my brain . . .
Though it's only a month or so,
that ol' car is a buggin' us to go,
you gotta get away,
get back on the road again . . .

It was a lucky April shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!
The rain continued for an' hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
In a five an' ten cent store!
She was sellin' china
an' when she made those eyes
I kept buyin' china
until the crowd got wise!
Incidentally . . .
If you should run into a shower
just step inside my cottage door
an' meet the million dollar baby
from a five an' ten cent store!

I still hear you callin' me back,
To your arms once again.
I still feel the spell,
Of your last kiss upon me,
Since then, life has all been in vain.
All has been sadness,
Without you Marcheta,
Each day finds me lonely and blue.
My poor heart is broken,
I want you Marcheta,
I need you Marcheta I do.
All has been sadness,

Each day finds me lonely and blue.

May you walk with the sunlight shining,
An’ a blue bird in every tree.
May there be silver lining,
Back of every cloud you see . . .
Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows,
Never mind what might have been.

I’ll give my hand to those who cannot see,
The sunshine or the fallin’ rain.
I’ll sing my song to cheer the weary along,
For I may never pass this way again!
I’ll share my faith with every troubled heart,
So I shall not have lived in vain.
I’ll give my hand, I’ll sing my song,
I’ll share my faith, because I know,
That the time is now to fulfill each vow,
For I may never pass this way again!

I may be wrong, but,

I like your style, say,

But I can't see
So how can I tell?
All of my shirts are unsightly,
All of my ties are a crime,
If dear in you I've picked rightly,
It's the very first time!
You came along, say,

Music by Harry Sullivan and lyrics by Harry Ruskin, 1929
I saw Mommy kissin' Santa Claus
underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked up
in my bedroom fast asleep.
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissin' Santa Claus last night.
We know a secret, we got a little secret,
yeah, yeah, nah nah nah!
< instrumental break >
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissin' Santa Claus last night.

I'd love to spend my whole life through,
Makin' love to you!
It's just the nicest thing I do,
Makin' love to you!
Each time we're face to face,
Music fills the air!
And then when we embrace,
I hear violins, the song begins!
I never dreamed that you could be,
Makin' love to me!
That dream is now reality,
You are here with me!
Each night the miracle of rainbows come in view,
Because I'm makin' love to you!
I never dreamed that you could be,
Makin' love to me!
That dream is now reality,
‘Cause you are here with me!
Each night the miracle of rainbows come in view,
Because I'm makin' love to you!
I have heard the wild bird's sing
so I know what 'freedom' is
I have looked into the eyes of a child
so I know what 'faith' is
I have seen a rainbow
so I know what 'beauty' is
I have planted a tree
so I know what 'hope' is
I have held a helping hand
so I know what 'kindness' is
I have seen a blossom burst into bloom
so I know what 'glory' is
I have lost a friend
so I know what 'sorrow' is
I have knelt down in prayer
so I know what 'peace' is
I have seen a mother at her crib
so I'm sure of the meaning of 'love'
I have seen and I have felt these things
and now I know what 'God' is!

I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did!
I never dreamed it could be,
Yet there you were, in love with me.
I found your lips close to mine, so I kissed you,
And you didn't mind it at all!
When I'm awake, such a break never happens,
How long can a guy go on dreamin' ?
If there's a chance that you care, then please,
Say you do Baby!
Say it and make my craziest dream come true.

with lyrics by Mack Gordon , 1942
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it, baby!
Love me too an' you won't regret it,
Love me too an' you won't regret it,
Love me too an' you won't regret it, baby!
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it, baby!
I love you an' don't you forget it,
That makes seven times that I've said it,
I don't see how you can forget it now!
I love you in the springtime,
I love you in the fall,
I love you at a party,
We always have a ball!
And when you're in my arms dear,
I love you most of all . . .
In the morning an' in the evening,
An' when it's cloudy or clear,
I'm in love with you, so in love with you,
Every day of the year!
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' nun't you forget it, baby!
Love me too an' you won't regret it,
Love me too an' you won't regret it,
Love me too an' you won't regret it, baby!
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it,
I love you an' don't you forget it, baby!
I love you an' don't you forget it,
That makes twenty times that I've said it,
I don't see how you can forget it now!
[ pause ]
I love you an' don't you forget it,
There, that's one more time that I've said it,
I don't see how you can forget it now!

with lyrics by Al Stillman ,1963
You looked back to see if I looked back,
And I looked back to see if you looked back
To see if I looked back to see
If you were lookin' at me!
I looked back to see if you looked back,
When you looked back I felt my heart strings snap,
And heard a thunder clap
And saw the lightning striking at me!
Then I stood still, an' you stood still,
The world stood still, my heart stood still,
And O' the thrill that suddenly we knew,
The very, very moment . . .
I looked back to see if you looked back,
And you looked back to see if I looked back
To see if you looked back to see
If I was lookin' at you!
< instrumental verse >
Then I stood still, an' you stood still,
The world stood still, my heart stood still,
And O' the thrill that suddenly we knew,
The very, very moment . . .
I looked back to see if you looked back,
And you looked back to see if I looked back
To see if you looked back to see
If I was lookin' at you!
( . . . to see if you were lookin' at me! )
To see if I was lookin' at you, lookin' at me,
Lookin' at you . . . lookin' at me!

with lyrics by Jimmy Eaton
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 the 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!
It's a quarter t' three,
There's no one in the place except you an' me.
So, set 'em up Joe, I've got a little story that you otta kno.
We're drinkin' my friend, t' the end of a brief episode,
Make it one for ma baby an' one more for the road . . .
I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine,
I'm feelin' so bad, I wish you'd make the music dreamy an' sad,
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your 'code'
Make it one for ma baby, one more for the road . . .
You'd never kno' it, but Buddy, I'm kind of a poet,
And I've got a lot of things to say.
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me,
Until it's talked away . . .
Well, that's how it goes, and Joe I kno' you're gettin' anxious t' close,
So thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear . . .
This torch that I've found, must be drowned or it soon will explode,
Make it one for ma baby, an' one more for the road . . .
That long, long road!
Life is never what it seems,
we're always searching in our dreams,
to find those little castles in the air!
When worry starts to cloud the mind,
it's hard to leave it all behind,
an' just pretend you haven't got a care!
There's someone else in your imagination,
you wished that you were standin' in their shoes
you'd change your life without much hesitation
but would you if you really had to choose?
So, don't look around,
get your feet on the ground,
it's much better by far
to be just who you are!
The other man's grass is always greener,
the sun shines brighter on the other side!
The other man's grass is always greener,
some are lucky, some are not,
just be thankful for what you've got!
< instrumental break >
Many times it seems to me,
there's someone else I'd rather be,
living in a world of make-believe!
To stay in bed 'till nearly three
with nothing there to worry me
would seem to be the life I might achieve!
But, deep inside I know I'm really lucky,
happiness I've never known before,
just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothin' more!
And living can start,
with the love in your heart!
So, with you all the time,
all the chances I've longed for are mine!
The other man's grass is always greener,
the sun shines brighter on the other side!
The other man's grass is always greener,
some are lucky, some are not,
I'm so thankful for what I've got!
< repeat chorus two more times to fade >
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true!
Someday I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me!
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I?
( Someday I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me! )
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly, beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I!
One more mountain, one more river,
One more mile, and I'll be home . . .
Is she waitin' like she promised,
Or, have I been gone too long?
Has she given her love to someone?
Oh! no, that couldn't be!
One more mountain, one more river,
One more mile, an' then I'll see!
Only One can make the valley deep,
The mountain high, the oak tree strong,
Only One can bless us while we sleep,
And give us faith to keep,
To keep our whole life long . . .
Only One can hear each prayer we say,
And pray that we might learn His way,
So has it always been, so shall it always be,
As long as we believe in only One. . .
Only one can make the valley deep,
The mountain high, the oak tree strong . . .
Only one can bless us while we sleep,
And give us faith to keep,
To keep our whole life long . . .
Rich or poor, no matter who we are,
We all are one to only One,
So has it always been, so shall it always be,
For all eternity,
Only One!
Come and join me in a prayer,
In a humble prayer for peace.
One voice may be weak,
But together we'll be heard . . .
Let us gather ‘round and pray,
For a life of peace and love,
In a world that's free from want,
And free from fear.
Pray for the hearts of all mankind,
That they may find,
New faith and trust in each other,
And peace of mind!
Come and join me in a prayer,
If we all kneel side by side,
In a prayer for peace,
How can we be denied?
If we only pray for the hearts of all mankind,
That they may find . . .
New faith and trust in each other,
And peace of mind!
Come and join me in a prayer,
If we all kneel side by side,
In a prayer for peace,
How can we be denied?
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 have another for I'm not free
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
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 have another for I'm not free
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love
Oh Patricia my darling Patricia
you can make all my dreamin come true
your heart is as gay as a bright summers day
your much fairer than heavens blue skys
Oh patricia my lovely Patricia
You can make all my dreamin come true
my heart is just droolin
Patricia not foolin
I'm falling in love with you
This is probably not completely accurate but I remember it as a child. My
grandfather gave me this record when I was about 7 or so. I used to play
it over and over. I've wanted the lyrics or even a recording of it for
years.
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 have another for I'm not free
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
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 have another for I'm not free
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love
Verse 1
Mother dear, O pray for me!
Whilst far from heav'n and thee.
I wander in a fragile bark,
O'er life's tempestuous sea.
O Virgin Mother, from thy throne,
So bright in bliss above.
Protect thy child and cheer my path
With thy sweet smile of love.
Verse 2
Mother dear, O pray for me!
Should pleasure's siren lay.
E'er tempt thy child to wander far
From Virtue's path away.
When thorns beset life's devious way,
And darkling waters flow.
Then Mary aid thy weeping child,
Thyself a mother show.
Chorus
Mother dear, remember me!
And never cease thy care,
'Till in heaven eternally,
Thy love and bliss I share.

Nothin’s gonna harm you, not while I’m around!
Nothin’s gonna harm you, 'No Sir!'
Not while I’m around!
Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I’ll send then howling, I don’t care,
I got ways!
No one’s gonna hurt you, no one’s gonna dare!
Others can desert you, not to worry, whistle,
I’ll be there!
Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time, nothin’ can harm you,
Not while I’m around!
Demons will charm you with a smile, for a while,
But in time, nothin’s gonna harm you,
Not while I’m around!
Not while I’m around!

When, when beauty fades from view,
As worldly things will do,
My eyes will still see you . . .
When, when dreams turn old and gray,
And seem to slip away,
My dream of you will stay . . .
Loving you, the way I do,
Wanting you, needing you,
Don't you know, can't you see,
My love will flow eternally . . .
Don't you know, can't you see,
My love will flow eternally . . .
And when, when evening shadows fall,
And you are in my arms,
I love you most of all . . .
Loving you, the way I do,
Wanting you, needing you,
Don't you know, can't you see . . . to fade
I don't know what he told you,
the stranger at the party.
I only know you met him
an' now you can't forget him,
he's a stranger no more!
I can't believe it happened
I never dreamed you'd leave me
we were so good together
I thought we'd share forever
the love we had before!
Is there an explanation to ease my sorrow?
Is it infatuation, will it fade tomorrow?
Until you let me know, my love won't let me go
my heart won't close the door!
And while you make your mind up
I beg you to remember
although his arms may hold you
I don't know what he told you,
but he couldn't love you more!
< instrumental break >
Until you let me know, my love won't let me go
my heart won't close the door!
And while you make your mind up
I beg you to remember
although his arms may hold you
I don't know what he told you,
but he couldn't love you more!
. . . he couldn't love you more!

Every time it rains
It rains
Pennies from heaven
Don't you know
Each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven.
You'll find your fortune fallin'
All over 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 must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven
For you and me.

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches

'Twas just a garden in the rain,
close to a little leafy lane
a touch of colour 'neath skies of gray!
The raindrops kissed the flower beds
the blossoms raised their thirsty heads
a perfumed thank you they seem to say!
Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
maybe it was just that I was there
with you!
'Twas just a garden in the rain,
but then the sun came out again
and sent us happily on our way!
Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
but, maybe it was just that you were there dear,
you were so lovely!
'Twas just a garden in the rain,
but then the sun came out again
and sent us happily on our way!
Just a garden in the rain!

Climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!
Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!
You, climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
And for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On Jupiter and Mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!
Come on, we're gonna make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!
Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!
Isn’t it rich, are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground, you in mid air!
Send in the clowns!
Isn’t it bliss, don’t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can’t move!
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns!
Just when I stopped, opening doors
Finally knowin’ the one that I wanted was yours,
Making my entrance again, with my usual flair
Sure of my lines, but no one is there!
Don’t you love farce?
My fault I fear!
I thought that you’d want what I want
I’m sorry my dear!
Quick, send in the clowns . . .
Don’t bother . . . they’re here!
Isn’t it rich, isn’t it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career!
Where are the clowns? there’s gotta be clowns!
Maybe next year.
. . . maybe next year!
The "secret service" makes me nervous
When I am dating they are waiting to observe us
When I get ready to hold steady for the "kiss" you plan
The "secret service" makes me nervous and I can’t!
They’re always spying, no denying
They’re always peeping, gumshoe creeping, private eying
When I’m beginning to give-inning like a maiden aunt
The "secret service" makes me nervous and I can’t!
I’ve been exposed beyond control
Just like a "goldfish" in a bowl!
The president’s daughter must drink water
No drink of "scotch" she might do what she hadn’t otter
When I’m ignited, so excited that I start to "pant"
The "secret service" makes me nervous
When my lamps are lit
And I say "this is it!"
. . . the "secret service" makes me nervous
And I can’t!
The "secret service" makes me nervous
Those white house "dicks" get all their kicks
When they observe us!
Just as I wind up, make my mind up, not to say "i won’t"
The "secret service" makes me nervous and I don’t!
When things look "rosy" they get nosy
They’ll say there’s "tootsie" playing "footsie" very cosy
My pulse goes higher, I’m on fire, shakin’ at the knees
The "secret service" makes me nervous and I freeze!
Whatever I may do or say
Will be reported the next day!
They don’t see clearly when I’m merely being courted
When I’m just "necking" simply "pecking" with a "cary grant"
They stand behind me to remind me "who" and "what" I am
. . . when I don’t give a "? x? x" ( ooh ahh ahh! )
The "secret service" makes me nervous and I can’t!
is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother an' Child
Holy infant so tender an' mild
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Sleep in heav'nly peace
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia ( Alleluia! )
Christ the Saviour is born;
Christ the Saviour is born.
Christ the Saviour . . .
is born ( Alleluia! )
Silent night ( silent night! ) holy night ( holy night! )
Son of God, love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth;
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady!
She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady!
She's as quiet as a mouse
Why, she would never ever raise her voice to a shout
Not unless somebody else is drownin' me out!
Yes, She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady!
High floutin' ~ You're darn tootin'!
and her manners are superb
Yesterday I wore a gown of satin an' lace,
you took me out dinin' to the ritziest place
And when they brought the finger bowl,
why you washed your face!
Ah! I'm a Lady! ~ She's a Lady ~ Oh yeah!
He's a Lover! ~ I'm a Lover!
He's big hearted! ~ Once I've started!
Nothin' is good for you!
Say, how do you mean that?
I bought you a golden necklace fit for a Queen
If that's a golden necklace, why's my neck turnin' green?
He's Romantic! ~ I'm Romantic!
He's the shy type! ~ Yes, it's my type!
He's the kind that girls can't trust!
Some guys take a girl out ridin' an' when they do,
she may have to walk home, that don't happen to you!
That's because I take them riding in a canoe
Oh! He's a lover! ~ I'm a lover ~ Oh yeah!
She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady!
She's the fine type ~ Home at nine type!
She's as gentle as a lamb!
She's the most refined girl that the city has got
I will beat up anyone who says that I'm not!
She's a High-Brow ~ I'm a High-Brow!
You're what 'class' is! ~ You need glasses!
You know just how things are done
In a crowded bus, you find a guy with a seat
then you drop your hanky so it lands at his feet
When he stands up to get it, that's when I grab his seat!
Yes, She's a Lady ~ I'm a Lady! ~ Oh yeah!
He's a Singer! ~ I'm a Singer!
Like Caruso! ~ Learned to do so,
in a barber-shop quartet
I once gave a hair-cut to a fellow one day
I started singing 'Mammy' an' kept cutting away
Yeah, now they call him 'baldy' an' he wears a toupee!
You're a Lady! ~ You're a Barber!
You're a High-Brow! ~ You're a Sin-ger!
Hee hee, I'm a Sin-ger? ~ Ha, ha ha ha!
She's a Lady ~ Ah! He's a Sin-ger! ~ Oh yeah!

You alone, you alone,
are the dream I have known,
bringing love to my lonely heart!
Now there’s heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
Now that your eyes have told me,
You are my love my own,
Come to my arms and hold me,
I live for you alone!
Solo tu, solo tu . . .
[ Italian ]
You alone, you alone,
Are the dream I have known,
Bringing love to my lonely heart!
Now there’s heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!

( How Long Must I Dream? )
Sweet Dream Baby!
Sweet Dream Baby!
Sweet Dream Baby!
How long must I dream?
Dream Baby,
Got me dreamin' sweet dreams,
The whole day through!
Dream Baby,
Got me dreamin' sweet dreams,
Night time too!
I'll love you, an' dreamin' of you,
But that won't do!
Dream Baby,
Make me stop a dreamin'
You can make my dream come true!
Sweet Dream Baby! ( Dream Baby, Sweet Dream Baby! )
Sweet Dream Baby! ( Dream Baby, Sweet Dream Baby! )
Sweet Dream Baby! ( Dream Baby, Sweet Dream Baby! )
How long must I dream?
Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
All alone . . . all alone!
When the hoot owl toots his tooloo
to the whale of the nip wick hen,
and the chink funk chirps in the chilly night,
it's mighty lonesome then . . .
And it's mighty lonesome when the wind,
howls thru the jack-pine boughs
but you don't kno' what lonesome is,
'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
All alone . . . all alone!
Oh, the ordinary fella,
gets off on a Saturday night
an' he gets a chance to see his pals
with change no more than right
but when the saddle is your life
there's no time to carouse
and you don't kno' what lonesome is,
'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
By myself . . . by myself!
Now, the keeper of the lighthouse
an' the sailor man at sea
an' the lookout on the mountain top
ain't got a thing on me
'cause I got all the lonesomeness
that the common law allows
Man, you don't kno' what lonesome is,
'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
Cowboy blues . . . cowboy blues!
Now, you may often wonder
why a cowpoke sings so sad
he's a thinkin' of the many things
in life he's never had
no pal, no gal for company
jus' the kettle as they prowl
man, you don't kno' what lonesome is,
'till you get to herdin' cows . . .
Do me Ah Ma doo, Do me Ah Ma day!
All alone . . . by myself!
Cowboy blues . . . doggone cow!
Doggone COW!
Doggone you, you licked me again!
Words and Music by Foster Carling and Country Washburne
So many nights I'd sit by my window
waitin' for someone to sing me a song
So many dreams, I kept deep inside me,
alone in the dark, but now you've come along!
And you light up my life,
you give me hope to carry on,
you light up my days and fill my nights
with song!
< instrumental break >
Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water,
could it be finally I'm turnin' for home?
Finally a chance to say 'Hey! I love you!'
never again to be all alone!
'Cause you light up my life,
you give me hope to carry on,
you light up my days an' fill my nights
with song!
You light up my life,
you give me hope to carry on,
you light up my days and fill my nights
with song!
It can't be wrong
when it feels so right
'cause you
you light up my life!

It was a watermelon summer,
A hummin' bird hummer,
Every day was a slumber in the shade,
It was a tale-tellin' whopper,
Banana-split topper,
A tall, cool, glass of lemonade!
You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way,
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
It was a lotta water splashin'
A fall down kinda laughin'
Good old times were hashin' afternoon
It was a backyard barbecuin'
Hammock swinging wooing,
'Neath the summer's watermelon moon!
You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way,
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
( Yeah ! )
It was a melody of crickets,
Singin' in a picket,
It was a game of hide an' seek to kick the can,
It was ally oxen free every time for you and me,
'Cause hiding was the best part of the game!
You made it that way,

Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,

You must have been a beautiful baby,
you must have been a wonderful child . . .
When you were only startin'
to go to kindergarten
I bet you drove the little boys wild!
An' when it came to winning blue ribbons,
you must have shown the other kids how . . .
I can see the judge's eyes as they handed you the prize
I bet you made the cutest bow!
Oh!, You must have been a beautiful baby,
'cause baby look at you now . . .

Does your dad appreciate

Does your mother realize

Music by Harry Warren
with lyrics by Johnny Mercer
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry
I was confused, you cleared my mind
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me
and held me up, and gave me dignity
somehow, you needed me!
You gave me strength, to stand alone again
to face the world, out on my own again
you put me high upon a pedestal
so high that I could almost see eternity
you needed me, you needed me!
Can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true
I needed you and you were there
Though I'll never leave, why should I leave?
I'd be a fool, when I finally found someone who really cares!
Who really cares!
You held my hand ~ you held my hand
when it was cold ~ when it was cold
when I was lost ~ when I was lost
you took me home ~ you took me home
You put me high upon a pedestal
so high that I could almost see eternity
you needed me, you needed me . . .
. . . you needed me,
you needed me . . .

When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high
An' don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a 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 an' blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone . . .
You'll never walk alone!

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone . . .

Say the sun will never shine again,
And say the rose that blooms will never bloom again,
But come what may I know I must have you again,
My darling, say you’re mine again!
Say that spring will never come again,
And say the chapel bells will never ring again,
No matter what will be I must be yours again,
So darling, say you’re mine again!
If I were to lose all the world and it’s treasures,
Who cares, let it be as it may,
As long as I have you beside me,
I’ll always be happy that way!
Say I’ll never see the rain again,
And say I’ll never hear a sweet refrain again,
And say that I was wrong and I’m to blame again,
But darling, say you’re mine again!

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
and if you ever saw it,
you could even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history."

You know Dasher an' Dancer,

Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say:
"Why, Rudolph with your nose so bright,

You'll go down, down, down, down, down,

Listen my loved ones,
aw listen to me
there's more than the earth
and it's beauty to see!
There are green acres
where dreamer's can go,
sure it may sound like fancy
but somehow I know!
The meadows of heaven
are always in sight,
the stars are the flowers
that bloom in the night!
And sure as there's heaven
you'll find that it's true
when you're in love,
those stars above, are blooming
just for you!

Life is never what it seems,
we're always searching in our dreams,
to find those little castles in the air!
When worry starts to cloud the mind,
it's hard to leave it all behind,
an' just pretend you haven't got a care!
There's someone else in your imagination,
you wished that you were standin' in their shoes
you'd change your life without much hesitation
but would you if you really had to choose?
So, don't look around,
get your feet on the ground,
it's much better by far
to be just who you are!
The other man's grass is always greener,
the sun shines brighter on the other side!
The other man's grass is always greener,
some are lucky, some are not,
just be thankful for what you've got!
< instrumental break >
Many times it seems to me,
there's someone else I'd rather be,
living in a world of make-believe!
To stay in bed 'till nearly three
with nothing there to worry me
would seem to be the life I might achieve!
But, deep inside I know I'm really lucky,
happiness I've never known before,
just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothin' more!
And living can start,
with the love in your heart!
So, with you all the time,
all the chances I've longed for are mine!
The other man's grass is always greener,
the sun shines brighter on the other side!
The other man's grass is always greener,
some are lucky, some are not,
I'm so thankful for what I've got!

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?
And if I ever lost you,
how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean,
how high is the sky?
My love and devotion, will always be true
Now and forever, I live for you
My love and devotion, are yours, yours alone
Kiss me beloved, say you’re my own!
I kiss your lips sweet an’ tender, they open heaven’s door
Won’t you surrender, forever more?
My love will grow deeper, as time passes by
Deep as the ocean and as high as the sky
My love and devotion, are yours ’till I die!

Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our debts,

And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the glory, forever!

Text from the Bible,

Come to me my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue . . .
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know dear that I'm in love with you!
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!
( I Know, I know, oh yes, I know! )
I know what it means
to be lost in the dark!
I know what it means
to be tossed by the storm!
I have walked alone
with a heart of stone
and despair too heavy for tears,
but you caught my heart
and you taught my heart
to forget it's doubts and fear!
And now that I know
the joy of your love
My head is high, I can face the sky
and know that heaven is here below,
I know . . .
For you I could die,
for you I will live,
I know!
( I Know, I know, I know! )
O, little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
the silent stars go by;
Yet in thy 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 gather all above
while mortals sleep the angels keep
their watch of wond'ring love!
O, morning stars together
proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God our King
and peace to men on earth!
O, 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
O, come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emanuel!

If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you
I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to feel low-down,
I gotta right t' hang around, down around the river . . .
A certain gal in this ol' town, keeps draggin' my poor heart around,
All I see for me, is misery . . .
I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to moan and sigh,
I gotta right to sit and cry, down around the river . . .
I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues! ( doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo )
( He's gotta right to sing the blues ) I gotta right to sing the blues!
( He's gotta right to moan and sigh ) I gotta right t' moan and sigh!
( He's gotta right to sit an' cry ) sit an' cryin' down along the river!
I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,

You're completely unaware, dear, that my heart is in your hand
So for love's sake won't you listen and try to understand?
I dream of you more than you dream I do
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You mean to me more than you mean to be
You just can't seem to see the way I feel
I don't know what he told you,
the stranger at the party.
I only know you met him
an' now you can't forget him,
he's a stranger no more!
I can't believe it happened
I never dreamed you'd leave me
we were so good together
I thought we'd share forever
the love we had before!
Is there an explanation to ease my sorrow?
Is it infatuation, will it fade tomorrow?
Until you let me know, my love won't let me go
my heart won't close the door!
And while you make your mind up
I beg you to remember
although his arms may hold you
I don't know what he told you,
but he couldn't love you more!
Until you let me know, my love won't let me go
my heart won't close the door!
And while you make your mind up
I beg you to remember
although his arms may hold you
I don't know what he told you,
but he couldn't love you more!
. . . he couldn't love you more!
How to handle a woman,
There's a way said a wise old man,
A way know by every woman,
Since the whole rigmarole began!
Do I flatter her, I begged him answer,
Do I threaten or cajole or plea,
Do I brood or play the gay romancer?
Said he, smiling, "No, indeed!"
"How to handle a woman,
Mark me well, I will tell you sir!
The way to handle a woman,
Is to love her, simply love her,
Merely love her, love her,
Love her!"
You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply,
As time goes by . . .
An' 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 an' love songs never out of date,
Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' 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 an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .
It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
Could my tears for ever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know.
These for sin can not atone;
Thou must save and thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold thee on thy throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.

An' so the loneliness deep in my heart calls to you, calls to you!

No one loves with a love that I bring you
please believe me, believe me please do!
Music by Bob Merrill,
with lyrics by Bee Walker, 1949
Talk to her please Mister Sun, speak to her Mister Rainbow
And take her under your branches, Mister Tree!
Whisper to her, Mister Wind, sing to her Mister Robin
And Mrs Moonlight put in a word for me!
Tell her how I feel, it shouldn't end this way
Since you all are her friends, she'll listen to whatever you have to say
Babble to her Mister Brook, kiss her for me Miss Raindrops
And watch to see they all do please Mister Sun!
< instrumental break >
Babble to her Mister Brook, kiss her for me Miss Raindrops
And watch to see they all do please Mister Sun!

with lyrics by Sid Frank, 1952
Everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose
she's a beauty growin' wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
for mother nature's favourite child!
She's got the kind of affection
that just winds around your heart!
You better run for protection
or she might upset your flower cart!
I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose
is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'cause I know just what to do!
Anyone knows you can train a rose
to be a clingin' vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'round that ramblin' rose of mine!
Now, everyone knows she's a ramblin' rose
she's a beauty growin' wild!
Birds in their nest seem to whistle their best
for mamma nature's favourite child!
She's got the kind of affection
that just winds around your heart!
You'd better run for protection
or she might upset your flower cart!
I hate to disclose that ma ramblin' rose
is gonna meet her Waterloo!
I let her play but she can't get away
'cause I know just what to do!
Anyone knows you can train a rose
to be a clingin' vine!
So, from this day hence, there'll be a picket fence
'round that ramblin' rose of mine!
Music by Joseph Burke
with lyrics by Joseph Allan McCarthy Jr. 1948
When they begin the beguine,
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back the night of tropical splendour,
It brings back a memory evergreen!
I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'
Even the palms seems to be swayin'
When they begin the beguine!
To live it again is past all endeavour,
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are swearin' to love forever,
And promising never, never to part!
What moments divine, what raptures serene,
'Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted . . .
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!
'Till the stars that were there before return above you,
'Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in,
When they begin the beguine!
When they begin . . . the beguine!
My baby makes me proud,
lord don't she make me proud!
She never makes a scene
by hangin' all over me in a crowd!
'Cause people love to talk,
lord don't they love to talk!
But when they turn out the lights,
I know she'll be leaving with me!
When we get behind closed doors,
then she lets her hair hang down
and she makes me glad that I'm a man . . .
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors!
My baby makes me smile,
lord don't she make me smile!
She's never far away
or too tired to say "I want you!"
She's always a lady
just like a lady should be!
But when they turn out the lights,
she's still a baby with me!
When we get behind closed doors,
then she lets her hair hang down
and she makes me glad that I'm a man . . .
Oh no one knows what goes on behind closed doors!
Oh no one knows
what goes on behind closed doors!
( Behind closed doors! Behind closed doors! )
Behind closed doors!
I don't mind the sparrows stealin' my seed
the crow gettin' fat on my corn
but that beady eyed buzzard hangin' 'round my gal
is gonna wish he never was born ( never was born! )
Let the hungry old hawk take a chicken or two
and only the rooster will cry
but the beady eyed buzzard hangin' 'round my gal
is gonna wish he knew how to fly!
Better start flyin'
you better high tail it outta town!
You're headin' straight for trouble
if you keep on a circling 'round!
You can fill up your pockets with ma seed an' ma corn
take my horse, load the wagon up too!
But you beady eyed buzzard stay away from my gal
or else it's gonna be . . . the end of you!
( Better start flyin' . . . )
you better high tail it outta town!
You're headin' straight for trouble
if you keep on a circling 'round!
You can fill up your pockets with ma seed an' ma corn
take my horse, load the wagon up too!
But you beady eyed buzzard stay away from my gal
or else it's gonna be . . . the end of you!
. . . the end of you!
Someone who would try to understand
someone who'd be thrilled to touch my hand
an' thru all eternity, she'd be good for only me
beats there a heart so true?
Someone who could make her lips so warm
that my lonely heart could brave each storm
someone who'd be miles away, still within her heart I'd stay
beats there a heart so true?
Or, did I ask too much, when I met you?
Or, was the task too much to just be a little true?
I've been told it only hurts a while
but my broken heart won't crack a smile
'till that someone comes along
with a love that proves me wrong
beats there a heart so true?
I've been told it only hurts a while
but my broken heart won't crack a smile!
'till that someone comes along
with a love that proves me wrong
beats there a heart so true?
. . . so true!
In the waking spring,
Softly you would bring,
Your eager dreams to my bed,
All through the joys of summer,
Love became the harvest,
We would share . . .
Beyond tomorrow,
Like golden sunrise,
Our love is the dawn of forever . . .
Beyond tomorrow,
The gift of lovers,
Waits bright and free,
For you and me,
My love . . .
When the birds have flown,
And we stood alone,
Against the chill of the sky,
Slowly, the birth of courage,
Brought us love we knew
Would never die!
Oh . . . they say some people long ago,
Were searchin' for a diff'rent tune,
One that they could croon,
As only they can . . .
They only had the rhythm . . . so,
They started swayin' 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,
Singin' 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 the hill,
They took a new note ( whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill . . . )
Pushed it through a horn 'till it was worn,
Into a blue note . . . ( whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill . . . )
An' then they nursed it, and rehearsed it,
And gave out the news,
That the "Southland" . . .
Gave birth to the blues!
( Shout out the wonderful news! )
Oh, the breeze from the trees,
A wail from the jail,
A buzz from the cousin of a nightin'gale,
And "Southland" ( hello, hello! )
Gave birth to the blues!
The best of times is now,
What€™s left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows!
So hold this moment fast ( hold it fast )
And live and love as hard as you know how ( you know how )
And make this moment last ( moment last )
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
Now! Not some forgotten yesterday,
Now! Tomorrow is too far away!
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
The best of times is now,
What€™s left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows!
Now! ( this is the moment we should take )
Not some forgotten yesterday
( yesterday is just a faded memory )
Now! ( don€™t let this moment go to waste )
Tomorrow is too far away! ( too far, too far away )
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
The best of times is now,
What€™s left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows!
So hold this moment fast,
And live and love as hard as you know how,
And make this moment last,
Because the best of times is now,
Is now, is now!
I don’t want you,
But I hate to lose you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
I forgive you,
’cause I can’t forget you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
I ought to cross you off my list,
But when you come a knockin’ at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I keep runnin’ back for more!
I should hate you,
But I guess I love you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
< instrumental bridge >
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
< instrumental bridge >
Hmm, you got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
I ought to cross you off my list,
But when you come a knockin’ at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I keep runnin’ back for more!
Hmm, I should hate you,
But I guess I love you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
You got me in between
The devil . . . and the deep blue sea! . . . and the deep blue sea!
Perry Como
- Magic Moments-
Refrain
Magic Moments
When two hearts are caring
Magic Moments
Memories we' ve been sharing
I' ll never forget the moment
We kissed the night of the hay ride
The way that we hugged
To try to keep warm
While taking a sleigh ride
Refrain
Magic Moments
Memories we' ve been sharing
Magic Moments
When two hearts are caring
Time can' t erase the memories
Of these magic moments filled with love
The telephone call
To tied up the line for hours and hours
The Saturday dance I got up the nerve
to send you some flowers
Refrain
Magic Moments
Memories we' ve been sharing
Magic Moments
When two hearts are caring
Time can' t erase the memories
Of these magic Moments filled with love
The way that we cheered
Whenever the team was scoring a touch down
The time that the floor fell out of my car
When I got a cluch down
The Penny arcade, the games that we played
the fun and the prizes
The hallow'een hop
When everyone came in funny disguises
Magic Moments
Filled with love
What am I gonna do about you?
Didn't mind the others I knew,
But, what am I gonna do about you?
I thought that love and I were all through,
Then your smile came out of the blue,
Oh, what am I gonna do about you?
My hopes were growing dimmer,
My chances slimmer,
Each passing day . . .
I could have held you longer,
But love was stronger,
You had your way . . .
And now, all my dreams,
And I've had a few,
Suddenly, are all coming true,
So, what are you gonna do about me?
And what am I gonna do about you?
< instrumental bridge >
And now, all my dreams,
And I've had a few,
Suddenly, are all coming true,
So, what are you gonna do about me?
And what am I gonna do about you?
~ from the 1947 Hollywood musical 'Ladies' Man'
Music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Sammy Cahn
Make love to live, let life make love to you,
make love to life an' no matter what you do
Don't hold back, an' don't you try to hide,
make love to life, make love to life!
A babblin' hobo poet sang on the street one day,
some people stopped an' smiled, some hurried on their way,
but as for me, if it's free, lord knows I'll sit thru anything,
so I stopped an' listened when the man began to sing . . .
. . . he said:
Make love to live, let life make love to you,
make love to life an' no matter what you do
Now, don't you hold back, don't you try to hide,
make love to life, make love to life!
An' in a jingle jangle hassle that we come upon each day,
it's nice to see somebody with something good to say,
the music makes me feel good, the words come easily,
everybody join in an' sing along with me . . .
Make love to live, let life make love to you,
make love to life an' no matter what you do
Don't you hold back, an' don't you try to hide,
make love to life, make love to life!
Make love to live, let life make love to you,
make love to life . . .
Why she had to go,
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong,
now I long for yesterday!
Yesterday . . . all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
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!
Oh I believe in yesterday!
I'm gonna love that girl
Like she's never been loved before,
I'm gonna show that girl
She's the fella that I adore.
When she's in my arms again,
Our dreams will all come true,
The years between might never have been,
We'll start our lives anew,
I'm gonna kiss that girl
Like she's never been kissed before,
And tho' I miss that girl,
She's the fella I'm waitin' for
We'll never part again,
She'll hold my heart again
Forever and ever more
I'm gonna love that girl
Like she's never been loved before.
1946 Version
Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin' ?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
a beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
walkin' 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
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
In the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is Parson Brown
he'll say "Are you married?"
we'll say "No man!
But you can do the job,
when you're in town!"
Later on, we'll conspire,
as we dream, by the fire,
to face unafraid,
the plans that we've made
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin' ?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
a beautiful sight, we're happy tonight . . .
Oh! . . . walkin' 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
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
In the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is Parson Brown
he'll say "Are you married?" . . .
we'll say "No man!
But you can do the job,
when you're in town!"
Later on, we'll conspire,
as we dream, by the fire,
to face unafraid,
the plans that we've made
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
We'll be happy in love
as two turtle doves
livin' in a fairy land! . . .
Oh! . . . we'll be walkin'
in a winter wonderland!
Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!
That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!
I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll ( Roll you river Jordan! )
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
Without a song!
( I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul! )
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
Without a song!
Thank Heaven for Little Girls
You Were Meant For Me
A Fellow Needs a Girl
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
Thank heaven for little girls
for little girls get bigger every day!
Thank heaven for little girls
they grow up in the most delightful way!
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
one day will flash and send you crashin' thru the ceilin'
Thank heaven for little girls
thank heaven for them all,
no matter where no matter who
for without them, what would little boys do?
Thank heaven . . . thank heaven . . .
Thank heaven for little girls!
You were meant for me
I was meant for you!
Nature patterned you, an' when she was done
you were all the sweet things rolled in one!
You're like a plaintive melody
that never lets me free
I'm content, the angels must have sent you
and they meant you just for me!
You . . .
were . . .
meant . . .
for me!
I . . .
was . . .
meant . . .
for you!
I'm content,
the angels must have sent you
and they meant you
just for me!
A fella needs a girl, to sit by his side
At the end of a weary day
To sit by his side and listen to him talk
And agree with the things he'll say!
A fella needs a girl, to hold in his arms
When the rest of the world goes wrong
To hold in his arms and know that she believes
That her fellow is wise and strong!
When things go right and his job's well done
He wants to share the prize he's won
If no one shares and no one cares
Where's the fun of a job well done, or a prize you've won?
A fella needs a home, his own kind of home
But to make his dream come
A fella needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!
A fella needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!
You wake up dreaming of her embrace
You try to read a book, you lose your place,
No matter where you look, you see that face,
You are in love!
You lose your appetite, and wonder why,
You try to laugh it off, my how you try,
You say she's not for me, but it's a lie,
You are in love . . . you are in love!
You are in love!
You give up with tinkerin' with foreign cars,
You build a rocket ship and fly to Mars,
What do you find up there, spelled out in stars?
Why?
Oh . . . you are in love!
You are in love, you are in love . . .
You are in love!
You give up with tinkerin' with foreign cars,
You build a rocket ship and fly to Mars,
What do you find up there, spelled out in stars?
Why?
Oh you . . .
You are in love!
MAN: I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why, I wonder why
I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes I wonder why
HER: You don't need analyzing It is not so surprising
That you feel very strange but nice
Your heart goes pitter patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice
Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rubdown with a velvet glove
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick You're just in love
HIM: I hear singing and there's no one there
HER: You don't need analyzing ,
HER: it is not so surprising
HIM: I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
HER: That you feel very strange but nice
HIM: All day long I seem to walk on air
HER: Your heart goes pitter patter
HER: I know just what's the matter
HER: That you feel very strange but nice
HIM: I wonder why, I wonder why
HER: Because I've been there once or twice
HIM: I keep tossing in my sleep at night
HER: With your head on my shoulder
HER: You need someone who's older
HIM: And what's more I've lost my appetite
HER: A rubdown with a velvet glove
HIM: Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
HER: There is nothing you can take
HIM: Are twinkling in my eyes
HER: To relieve that pleasant ache
HIM: I wonder why
HER: You're not sick you're just in love
HER: And I know why
HIM: And I know why
BOTH: We're just in love
You alone, you alone,
are the dream I have known,
bringing love to my lonely heart!
Now there's heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
Now that your eyes have told me,
You are my love my own,
Come to my arms and hold me,
I live for you alone!
Solo tu, solo tu . . .
[ Italian ]
You alone, you alone,
Are the dream I have known,
Bringing love to my lonely heart!
Now there's heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
Everytime I meet you, I meet you for the first time
just as though we had never had met before
Everytime I kiss you, I kiss you for the first time
and my happy heart keeps begging you for more!
Everytime you thrill me, you thrill me for the first time
the moment is grand and the feeling is so brand new
Everytime you leave me, won't you take this thought along with you
I've fallen in love for the first and the last time too!
< instrumental break >
Everytime you leave me,
won't you take this thought along with you
I've fallen in love for the first and the last time too!
Music by Joseph Myrow
with lyrics by Mack Gordon
Thy people will be my people my love . . .
Whither thou goest, I will go.
Wherever thou lodgest, I will lodge.
Thy people will be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go!
For as in that story, long ago,
The same sweet love story, now is so,
Thy people shall be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go!
Whither thou goest I will go,
Wherever thou lodgest, I will lodge,
Thy people will be my people my love,
Whither thou goest I will go. . .
For as in that story long ago,
The same sweet love story now is so,
Thy people shall be my people my love,
Whither thou goest, I will go
I will go . . .
If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you
I'd hold you in my arms again the way I used to do
If wishes were kisses, how happy I would be
I'd always have you close to me to thrill me through an' through
If dreamers were schemers, I'd make my dream come true
If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you!
If wishes were kisses, how happy I would be!
I'd always have you close to me to thrill me through an' through
If dreamers were schemers, I'd make my dream come true
If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you!
( We'll just be the Same Old Friends )
If we can't be the same old sweethearts,
then we'll just be the same old friends!
For I want someone like you
just to tell my troubles to,
my happiness, on you,
it all depends!
For I've known you too long to forget you
and my old dream of love never ends!
Though I know you can't be mine,
we will meet from time to time
and we'll just be the same old friends!
For I've known you too long to forget you
and my old dream of love never ends!
Though I know you can't be mine,
we will meet from time to time
and we'll just be the same old friends!
You can tell,
When you open the door!
You can tell,
If there's love in a home!
Every table and chair seems to smile,
Do come in, come and stay for a while.
You almost feel you've been there once before,
By the shine and glow of the room!
And the clock seems to chime,
Come again anytime,
You'll be welcome wherever you roam!
You can tell when there's love in a home
Say It Isn't So
Blue Skies
Here's That Rainy Day
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
everyone is sayin' you don't love me
say it isn't so!
Everywhere I go
everyone I know
whispers that you're growin' 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 OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'
say it isn't so!
. . . and it won't be long before you leave me
say it isn't true!
Say that everything is still OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'
say it isn't so!
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
Maybe I should have saved
those left-over 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 lover near?
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here!
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny . . .
that rainy day is here!
( in a five and ten cent store )
It was a lucky april shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million dollar baby
In a five an’ ten cent store!
The rain continued for an’ hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million dollar baby
In a five an’ ten cent store!
She was sellin’ china
An’ when she made those eyes
I kept buyin’ china
Until the crowd got wise!
Incidentally . . .
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An’ meet the million dollar baby
From a five an’ ten cent store!
< instrumental repeat of verse >
She was sellin’ china
An’ when she made those eyes
I kept buyin’ china
Until the crowd got wise!
Incidentally . . .
If you should run into a shower
Just step inside my cottage door
An’ meet the million dollar baby
The lady that I adore
She’s the million dollar baby
From the five . . .
The five an’ ten cent store!
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear . . .
Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
everyone is sayin' you don't love me
say it isn't so!

whispers that you're growin' tired of me

Say that everything is still OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'
say it isn't so!
< instrumental break >
. . . and it won't be long before you leave me
say it isn't true!
Say that everything is still OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'
say it isn't so!
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
< instrumental break >
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
Maybe I should have saved
those left-over 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 lover near?
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here!
< instrumental break >
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny . . .
that rainy day is here!
Dance, dance, only with me,
only with me near your heart
dance, dance, cling close to me,
never to part!
Love, love, love only me,
all of our days from now on
dance only with me
'till al our sweet music is gone!
Love, love, love only me,
all of our days from now on
dance only with me
'till al our sweet music is gone!
. . . 'till al our sweet music is gone!
( Dance with me, only with me! )
Roses are shining in Picardy
In the hush of the silvery dew
Roses are flowering in Picardy
But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime
And our roads may be far, far apart
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart!
But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime
And our roads may be far, far apart
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart!
It's twilight on the prairie and the moon will soon be high
she'll be hurting every star up in the sky
we'll lope along to dreamland and we'll bid each care goodbye
while the wind blows through the sagebrush with a sigh!
So hush ( So, hush! ) little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here
let my shoulder be your pillow, you'll be safe as you can be
little darlin' you mean all the world to me
we'll always be together and I promise faithfully
that your dreams will all come true, just wait an' see
So hush ( So, hush! ) little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here
( we will always be together ) and I promise faithfully
that your dreams will all come true, just you wait an' see
So hush, little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here . . .

with lyrics by Marty Clarke
When Johnny Jones was serenading Mary,
He sure could quote a lot of poetry,
But he’d much rather tell her,
What he learned in his speller,
When they both attended PS 33!
A ~ You’re adorable . . .
B ~ You’re so beautiful . . .
C ~ You’re a cutie full of charms . . .
D ~ You’re a darling and . . .
E ~ You’re exciting . . .
F ~ You’re a feather in my arms . . .
G ~ You look good to me . . .
H ~ You’re so heavenly . . .
I ~ You’re the one I idolize . . .
J ~ We’re like Jack and Jill . . .
K ~ You’re so kiss-able . . .
L ~ Is the love-light in your eyes . . .
M, N, O, P . . .
You could go on all day . . .
Mmmmmmm!
Q, R, S, T . . .
Alphabetically speaking you’re OK!
U ~ Made my life complete . . .
V ~ Means you’re awfully sweet . . .
W, X, Y, Z . . .
It’s fun to wonder through,
The alphabet with you,
To tell . . . ( us what ? )
I mean . . . ( Uh Huh! )
To tell you what you mean to me!
( We love you alphabetically! )

Coo coo roo coo coo, paloma
tell her that I'm oh so lonely . . .
Coo coo roo coo coo, paloma
tell her that I love her only . . .
Please, pretty little dove,
hurry to my love, tell her this for me . . .
Since she is far away,
every day is sad, blue as it can be . . .
I couldn't even start,
pouring out my heart, to her in a letter . . .
You, pretty little bird,
you can sing the words, you can tell her better . . .
Coo coo roo coo coo, paloma
coo coo roo coo coo ( Spanish )
Coo coo roo coo coo . . .
coo coo roo coo coo . . .
coo coo roo coo coo . . . paloma . . .
( Watermelon Summer )
( You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way, yeah, yeah!
You made it that way, your sweet love made it that way! )
It was a watermelon summer,
A hummin' bird hummer,
Every day was a slumber in the shade,
It was a tale-tellin' whopper,
Banana-split topper,
A tall, cool, glass of lemonade!
You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way,
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
It was a lotta water splashin'
A fall down kinda laughin'
Good old times were hashin' afternoon
It was a backyard barbecuin'
Hammock swinging wooing,
'Neath the summer's watermelon moon!
You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way,
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
( Yeah ! )
It was a melody of crickets,
Singin' in a picket,
It was a game of hide an' seek to kick the can,
It was ally oxen free every time for you and me,
'Cause hiding was the best part of the game!
You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way,
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way!
Yeah, yeah! You made it that way,
your sweet love made it that way . . . ( fade out )
