A House Is Not A Home

A chair is still a chair Even when there's no-one sitting 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 And no-one there you can kiss goodnight A room is still a room Even though there's nothing 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 And one of us has a broken heart Now and then I call your name And 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 stairs And 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 stairs And turn the key Oh, please be there Still in love with me

Almost Like Being In Love

What a day this has been. What a rare mood I'm in. Why, it's almost like being in love. There's a smile on my face. For the whole human race. Why, it's almost like being in love. All the music of life seems to be. Like a bell that is ringing for me. And from the way that I feel. When that bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling. I could swear I was falling. Why it's almost like being in love.

Angel Eyes

Hey drink up all you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The laugh and the drinks on me Try to think that loves not around Still it's uncomfortably near My poor old heart aint gaining any ground Because my angel eyes ain't here Angel eyes, that old devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my loves misspent Mispent with angel eyes tonight So drink up all of you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The drink and the laughs on me Pardon me but I got to run The facts uncommonly clear I've got to find whos now the number one And why my angel eyes she ain't nere. Excuse me while I disappear.

At Last

At last My love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Oh yeah yeah At last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you I found a dream, that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Oh yeah yeah You smiled, you smiled Oh and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine...At Last

Body & Soul

My heart is sad and lonely I sigh for you For you dear only Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you body and soul I spend my days in longing And wonder why It's me you're wronging I tell you I mean it I'm all for you body and soul I can't believe it It's hard to conceive it That you'd turn away romance Are you pretending It looks like the ending Unless you'd give me one more chance To prove dear My life a wreck you're making you know I'm yours just for the taking I'd gladly surrender Myself to you - Body and Soul

Brother Can You Spare A Dime

They used to tell me I was building a dream And so I followed the mob When there was earth to plow or guns to bear I was always there, right on the job They used to tell me I was building a dream With peace and glory ahead Why should I be standing in line Just waiting for bread? Once I built a railroad, I made it run Made it race against time Once I built a railroad, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower up to the sun Brick and rivet and lime Once I built a tower, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum Half a million boots went slogging through Hell And I was the kid with the drum Say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al' It was 'Al' all the time Why don't you remember? I'm your pal Say buddy, can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits, ah, gee, we looked swell Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum Half a million boots went slogging through Hell And I was the kid with the drum Oh, say, don't you remember? They called me 'Al' It was 'Al' all the time Say, don't you remember? I'm your pal Buddy, can you spare a dime?

But Not For Me 

Old man sunshine listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it and I'll start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare Ever tell me he will care I'm certain it's the final curtain I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas Who tell you fate supplies a mate It's all bananas They're writing songs of love but not for me A lucky star's above but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi-ho.. alas... and also lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi-ho.. alas... and also lack-a-day Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss I guess he's not for me.

California Here I Come

California here I come, Right back where I started from, Where bowers and flowers bloom in the sun, Each morning at dawning birdies sing and everything. A sun kissed miss said "Don't be late." Thats why I can hardly wait, So open up those Golden gate California here I COME!

Carolina In The Morning

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning Where the morning glories twine around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each buttercup at dawning If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning Where the morning glories twine around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each buttercup at dawning If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the AM Carolina in the mornig

Come Fly With Me

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away If you can use some exotic booze There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru In llama land there's a one-man band And he'll toot his flute for you Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue Once I get you up there where the air is rarefied We'll just glide, starry-eyed Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near You may hear angels cheer because we're together Weatherwise it's such a lovely day Just say the words and we'll beat the birds Down to Acapulco Bay It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away Once I get you up there where the air is rarefied We'll just glide, starry-eyed Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near You may hear angels cheer because we're together Weatherwise it's such a lovely day You just say the words and we'll beat the birds Down to Acapulco Bay It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly Pack up, let's fly away!

Don't Know Much

Look at this face I know the years are showing Look at this life I still don't know where it's going I don't know much But I know I love you And that may be all I need to know Look at these eyes They've never seen what mattered Look at these dreams So beaten and so battered I don't know much But I know I love you That may be all I need to know So many questions still left unanswered So much I've never broken through And when I feel you near me Sometimes I see so clearly The only truth I've ever known is me and you Look at this man So blessed with inspiration Look at this soul Still searching for salvation  don't know much But I know I love you And that may be all I need to know I don't know much But I know I love you That may be all I need to know I don't know much But I know I love you That may be all there is to knw

Dream A Little Dream Of Me

Stars shining bright above you; Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you'. Birds singing in the sycamore tree. Dream a little dream of me. Say nighty-night and kiss me; Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me. While I'm alone, blue as can be, Dream a little dream of me. Stars fading but I linger on, dear - Still craving your kiss. I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear, Just saying this...Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you - Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you. But in your dreams, whatever they be, Dream a little dream of me. Stars fading but I linger on, dear - Still craving your kiss. I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear, Just saying this...Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you - Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you. But in your dreams, whatever they be, Dream a little dream of me.

Fly Me To The Moon

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 baby, kiss me Fill my heart with song And let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words: please, be true In other words: I love you Fill my heart with song Let me sing for ever more You are all I long for All I worship and adore In other words: please, be true In other words, in other words: I love you

For Once In My Life

For once in my life I have someone who needs me. Someone I've needed so long. For once unafraid I can go where life leads me and somehow I know I'll be strong. For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew. Someone warm like you could make my dreams come true. For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me not like its hurt me before. For once I have someone I know won't desert me. I'm not alone anymore. For once I can say this is mine you can't take it. As long as I know I have love I can make it. For once in my life I have someone who needs me. For once I can say this is mine you can't take it. As long as I know I have love we can make it. For once in my life I have someone who needs me.

Glow Worm

I Can Let Go Now

It was so right, it was so wrong Almost at the same time The pain and ache a heart can take No one really knows When the memories cling and keep you there Till you no longer care And you can let go now It's wrong for me to cling to you Somehow I just needed time From what was to be-it's not like me To hold somebody down But I was tossed high by love I almost never came down Only to land here Where love's no longer found Where I'm no longer bound And I can let go now

I Can't Get Started

I've been around the world in a plane I've settled revolutions in Spain The North Pole I have charted But I can't get started with you And at the golf course I'm under par Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and it's a show place But I can't get no place with you You're so supreme The lyrics I write of you Dream, dream, day and night of you Scheme just for the sight of you Baby what good does it do I've been consulted by Franklin D. Even Gable had me to tea But now I'm all broken hearted Cause I can't get started with you You're so supreme The lyrics I write of you Dream, dream, day and night of you Scheme just for the sight of you But what good does it do I've been consulted by Franklin D. Even Basie had me to tea But now I'm all broken hearted Cause I Can't get started with you.

I Don't Mind Being All Alone

I don't mind being all alone, When I'm all alone with you, You're the kind I try hard to find, You make all my dreams come true. In a crowd I feel mighty proud,But if you're not there I'm lonesome, I don't mind being all alone, When I'm all alone with you. I don't mind being all alone, When I'm all alone with you, Cos you're the kind I try hard to find, You make all my dreams come true. In a crowd I'm mighty proud, But if you're not there I'm so lonesome, I don't mind being all alone, When I'm all alone with you.In a crowd I feel mighty proud, But if you're not there I'm lonesome, I don't mind being all alone, When I'm all alone with you.

I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire

I don't want to set the world on fire I just want to start a flame in your hearIn my heart I have but one desire And that one is you, no other will do I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim I just want to be the one you love And with your admission that you'd feel the same I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me I don't want to set the world on fire I just want to start a flame in your heart I don't want to set the world on fire, honey I love you too much I just want to start a great big flame down in your heart You see, way down deep inside of me, darling I have only one desire And that one desire is you And I know, baby, ain't nobody else gonna do I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim I just want to be the one you love And with your admission that you'd feel the same I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me I don't want to set the world on fireI just want to start a flame in your heart.

I Don't Want To Talk About It

I can tell by your eyes that you've probably been crying forever, And the stars in the sky don't mean nothing to you, they're a mirror. I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart. If I stay here just a little bit longer, If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart? If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart; Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears. The stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror. I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart. If I stay here just a little bit longer, If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart? I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart. If I stay here just a little bit longer, If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, my heart? My heart, whoa, heart.

If I Didn't Care

If I didn't care more than words can say If I didn't care, would I feel this way If this isn't love then why do I thrill? And what makes my head go 'round and 'round While my heart stands still?If I didn't care, would it be the same? Would my every prayer begin and end with just your name? And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare? Would all this be true if I didn't care for you? If I didn't care Honey child, more than words can say If I didn't care Would I feel this way? Darlin' if this isn't love Then why do I thrill so much?  And what is it that makes my head go 'round and 'round While my heart just stands still so much? If I didn't care would it be the same? Would my every prayer begin and end with just your name? And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare?Would all this be true if I didn't care for you?

I Get A Kick Out Of You

My story is much too sad to be told, But practically everything leaves me totally cold. The exception I know is the case When I'm out on a quiet spree, Fighting vainly the old ennui, And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face. I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all. So tell me why should it be true That I get a kick out of you? Some, they may go for cocaine. I'm sure that if I took even one sniff it would bore me terrifically, too. Yet I get a kick out of you. I get a kick every time I see You standing there before me. I get a kick though it's clear to see You obviously do not adore me.I get no kick in a plane. Flying too high with some gal in the sky Is my idea of nothing to do. Yet I get a kick - um you give me a boot - I get a kick out of you.

I'll Be Seeing You

I'll be seeing you In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through in that small cafe The park across the way The children's carousel The chestnut tree The wishing well 'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you.

I Get Along Without You Very Well
I get along without you very well Of course I do Except when the soft rains fall And drip from the leaves, then I recall The thrill of being sheltered in your arms Of course I do But I get along without you very well
I've forgotten you just like I should Of course I have Except to hear your name Or someone's laugh that is just the same But I've forgotten you just like I should What a guy What a fool I am To think my breaking heart could kid the moon What's in store Should I phone once more No it's best that I stick to my tune
I get along without you very well Of course I do Except perhaps in Spring But I should never think of Spring For that would surely break my heart in two

I Love You For Sentimental Reasons

I love you for sentimental reasons I hope you do believe me I'll give you my heart I love you and you alone were meant for me Please give your loving heart to me And say we'll never part I think of you every morning Dream of you every night Darling, I'm never lonely Whenever you are in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons I hope you do believe me I've given you my heart I love you for sentimental reasons I hope you do believe me I've given you my heart 

I'm Hurt
I'm hurt to think that you lied to me I'm hurt Way down deep inside of me You said Our love was true And we'd never ever part And now You want someone new And it breaks my heart I'm hurt Much more than you'll ever know I'm hurt Because I still love you so But even though you hurt me Like nobody else could ever do I would never never hurt, hurt you.

I'm In The Mood For Love

I'm in the mood for love Simply because you're near me Funny, but when you're near me I'm in the mood for love Heaven is in your eyes Bright as the stars we're under Oh, is it any wonder That I'm in the mood for love? Why stop to think of whether This little dream might fade? We've put our hearts together Now we are one, I'm not afraid And if there's a cloud above If it should rain, we'll let it But for tonight forget it I'm in the mood for love Oh yeah Why stop to think of whether This little dream might fade? We've put our hearts together Now we are one, I'm not afraid And if there's a cloud above If it should rain, we'll let it But, for tonight, forget it Cause I'm in the mood for love I'm in the mood for love For love, for love.

I'll See You In My Dreams

I'll see you in my dreams Hold you in my dreams Someone took you out of my arms Still I feel the thrill of your charms Lips that once were mine Tender eyes that shine They will light my way tonight I'll see you in my dreams I'll will see you in my dreams You know I'll hold you in my dreams Cause someone took you right out of my arms But still I feel the thrill of your charms Lips that once were mine And those tender eyes that shine I know they will light my way tonight When I see you in my dreams Yes, they will light my way tonight Because I'll see you in my dreams

Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby?

I got a gal who's always late Any time we have a date But I love her Yes I love her I'm gonna walk right up to her gate And see if I can get it straight Cause I want her 'm gonna ask her Is you is or is you ain't my baby Way you're acting lately makes me doubt You'se is still my baby, baby Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out A woman is a creature that has always been strange Just when you're sure of what you'll find  She's gone and made a change Is you is or is you ain't my baby Maybe baby's found somebody new Or is my baby still my baby true Is you is or is you ain't my baby Maybe baby's found somebody new Or is my baby still my baby true

It Had To Be You

Why do I do, just as you say Why must I just, give you your way Why do I sigh, why don't I try to forget It must have been something lovers call fate Kept me saying: "I have to wait" I saw them all, just couldn't fall 'til we met It had to be you, it had to be you I wandered around, and finally found the somebody who Could make me be true, could make me be blue And even be glad, just to be sad thinking of you Some others I've seen, might never be mean Might never be cross, or try to be boss But they wouldn't do For nobody else, gave me a thrill with all your faults, I love you still It had to be you, wonderful you It had to be you 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 it had to be you It had to be you, woah wonderful you It had to be you

It's Been A Long, Long Time

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 many dreams I've 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. Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again. It's been a long time. Haven't felt like this my dear Since I can't remember when It's been a long, long time.

It's Too Late

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time There's something wrong here, there can be no denying One of us is changing, or maybe we've just stopped trying And it's too late, baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it, Oh no no It used to be so easy living here with you You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool And it's too late, baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it, oh no no There'll be good times again for me and you But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you But it's too late, baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it, Oh no no no no no It's too late Baby It's too late Now darling It's too late

I've Got A Crush On You

How glad the many millions Of Toms and Dicks and Williams Would be To capture me But you had such persistence You wore down my resistance I fell And it was swell You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo How I won you I will never never know It's not that you're attractive But oh my heart grew active
When you came into view I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh I never had the least notion That I could fall with so much emotion Could you coo Could you care For a cunning cottage we could share The world will pardon my mush Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you Could you coo Could you care For a cunning cottage we could share The world will pardon my mush Cause I have got a crush ,

I Wish You Love

Goodbye no use leading with our chin This is where our story ends Never lovers always friends Goodbye let our heart call it a day But before you walk away There is one thing I should say I wish you bluebirds in the spring To give your heart a song to sing And then a kiss But more than this I wish you love And in July a lemonade To cool you in some leafy glade I wish you health And more than wealth I wish you love My breaking heart and I agree That you and I could never be So with my best, my very best I set you free I wish you shelter from the storm A cozy fire to keep you warm But most of all When snowflakes fall I wish you love 

Just The Way You Look Tonight

Some day, when I'm awfully low When the world is cold I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way you look tonight Yes, you're lovely, never ever change with your smile so warm And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you And the way you look tonight With each word your tenderness grows Tearing my fear apart And that laugh..wrinkles your nose Touches my foolish heart Lovely ... Never, ever change Keep that breathless charm Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you Just the way you look tonight and that laugh that wrinkles your nose It touches my foolish heart Lovely ... Don't you ever change Keep that breathless charm Won't you please arrange it? 'Cause I love you a-just the way you look tonight Just the way you look tonight

Just You & I

Let's Get Away From It All

Let's take a boat to Bermuda Let's take a plane to Saint Paul. Let's take a kayak to Quincy or Nyack, Let's get away from it all. Let's take a trip in a trailer No need to come back at all. Let's take a powder to Boston for chowder, Let's get away from it all. We'll travel 'round from town to town, We'll visit every state. I'll repeat, "I love you sweet!" In all the forty-eight. Let's go again to Niagara This time we'll look at the falls. Let's leave our hut, dear, Get out of our rut, dear, Let's get away from it all.

Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you You're so like the lady with the mystic smile Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you? For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile? Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa? Or is this your way to hide a broken heart? Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep They just lie there and they die there Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa? Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art? Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa? Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep They just lie there and they die there Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa? Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art? Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

More Than You Know

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,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 You need me so Much more than you'll ever know (ever know) Loving you the way that I do There's nothing I can do about it Loving may be all you can give But baby I can't live without it Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd cry If you got tired and said "Good-bye" More than I'd show More than you'd ever know

My Buddy

Life is a book that we study Some of its leaves bring a sigh There it was written by my buddy That we must part, you and I Nights are long since you went away And I think about you all through the day My buddy, my buddy Nobody quite so true I miss your voice, touch of your hand I long to know that you understand My buddy, my buddy Your buddy misses you Your buddy misses you I miss your voice, the touch of your hand
And I long to know that you understand My buddy, my buddy Your buddy misses you My buddy

Nevertheless

Maybe I’m right and maybe I’m wrong, Well maybe I’m weak and maybe I’m strong. But nevertheless I’m in love with you. Now maybe I’ll win and maybe I’ll lose, Well, maybe I’m in for crying the blues. But nevertheless I’m in love with you. Somehow I know at a glance the terrible chances I’m taking
Fine at the start that left with a heart that is breaking. Maybe I’ll live a life of regret, And maybe I’ll give so much more than I get, But nevertheless I’m in love with you. Somehow I know at a glance the terrible terrible chances I’m taking Fine at the start but then left with a heart that is breaking Maybe I’ll live a life of regret And maybe I’ll give much more than I get But nevertheless I’m in love with you.

Put Your Head On My Shoulder

Put your head on my shoulder Hold me in your arms, baby Squeeze me oh so tight Show me that you love me too Put your lips next to mine, dear Won't you kiss me once, baby Just a kiss goodnight, maybe You and I will fall in love (You and I will fall in love) People say that love's a game A game you just can't win If there's a way I'll find it someday And then this fool will rush in Put your head on my shoulder Whisper in my ear, baby Words I want to hear Tell me, tell me that you love me too (Tell me that you love me too) Put your head on my shoulder Whisper in my ear, baby Words I want to hear, baby Put your head on my shouldr

Rambling Rose

Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose Why you ramble, no one knows Wild and wind-blown, that's how you've grown Who can cling to a ramblin' rose? Ramble on, ramble on When your ramblin' days are gone Who will love you with a love true When your ramblin' days are GONE Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose Why I want you, heaven knows Though I love you with a love true Who can cling to a ramblin' rose? Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose Why I want you, heaven knows Though I love you with a love true Who can cling to a ramblin' rose? 

Say It Isn't So

Say it isn't so... Say it isn't so. Everyone is saying you don't love me,  Say it isn't so. Everywhere I go, Everyone I know Whispers that you're growing tired of me, Say it isn't so. People say that you Found somebody new, And it won't be long before you leave me, Say it isn't true. Say that everything is still okay, That's all I want to know. And what they're saying, Say it isn't so. People say passing by Say he's younger than I And it won't be long before you leave me, Tell me it's a lie. Say that everything is still okay, That's all I want to know. And what they're saying, Say it isn't so.

Send In The Clowns

Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground you in mid air. Where are the clowns? Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around one who can't move. Where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns. Just when I stopped opening doors finally finding the one that I wanted was yours. Making my entrance again with my usual flair. So sure of my lines but no one is there. Don't you love farce? My fault I fear. I thought that you'd want what I want  sorry my dear. Where are the clowns? 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. But where are the clowns? They're ought to be clowns. Well, maybe next year.

Smile

Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through if you just smile Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time You must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile.

Somewhere Along The Road

Somewhere along the road Someone waits for me Beyond these present storms that blow Waiting patiently No secrets held in an open heart A spirit that soars over mountains Somewhere along the road Someone waits for me Somehow a guiding light Always shows the way To those who lose their way by night Searching for the day A day away from happiness Tomorrow will bring a new sunrise Somewhere along the road Someone waits for me Sometimes when winds are still Unexpectedly Perhaps beyond this silent hill A voice will come to me Raise your eyes and see my world Raise your voice and sing out Somewhere along the road Someone waits for me Somewhere along the road Someone waits for me Beyond the present storms that blow Waiting patiently No secrets held in an open heart A spirit that soars over mountains Somewhere along the road Someone waits for me Somewhere along the roadSomeone waits for me

Stardust

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely night dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration  But that was long ago Now my consolations in the stardust of a song Beside a garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale A paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody the memory of love's refrain.

That Old Feeling

I saw you last night and got that old feeling When you came in sight I got that old feeling The moment that you danced by I felt a thrill And when you caught my eye My heart stood still Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning And I knew the spark of love was still burning There'll be no new romance for me It's foolish to start For that old, old feeling is still in my heart Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning And I knew the spark of love was still burning There'll be no new romance for me It's foolish to start For that old, old feeling is still in my heart Still in my heart Still in my heart.

That's All

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

The Glory Of Love

This is a song I've been singing for a long time. It's like an old friend. But, you know, I think it's only recently that I discovered what it's really about. You've got to give a little, take a little, and let your poor heart break a little.That's the story of, that's the glory of love.You've got to laugh a little, cry a little, until the clouds roll by a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
As long as there's the two of us, we've got the world and all its charms. And when the world is through with us, we've got each other's arms. You've got to win a little, lose a little, yes, and always have the blues a little. That's the story of, that's the glory of love. That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

These Foolish Things 

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant A fairground's painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of March that make my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer? Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you The scent of smouldering leaves the wail of steamers Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers Oh how the ghost of you clings These foolish things Remind me of you How strange, how sweet, to find you still These things are dear to me They seem to bring you so near to me The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations Silk stockings thrown aside dance invitations Oh how the ghost of you clings These foolish things Remind me of you Remind me of you Remind me of you

The Very Thought Of You

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 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 The mere idea of you The longing here for you You 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

There Will Never Be Another You

This is our last dance together, Tonight soon will be long ago. And in our moment of parting, This is all I want you to know... There will be many other nights like this, And I'll be standing here with someone new. There will be other songs to sing, Another fall...another spring...But there will never be another you. There will be other lips that I may kiss, But they won't thrill me, Like yours used to do. Yes, I may dream a million dreams, But how can they come true, If there will never, ever be another you? Yes, I may dream a million dreams,  But how can they come true, If there will never, ever be...Another you?

They Can't Take That Away From Me

The way you wear your hat The way you sip your tea The memory of all that No no they can't take that away from me The way your smile just beams The way you sing off key The way you haunt my dreams No no they can't take that away from me We may never ever meet again, on that bumpy road to love Still I'll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife The way we dance till three The way you change my life No no they can't take that away from me No they can't take that away from me Yeah yeah yeah We may never never meet again, on this bumpy road to love Still I'll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife The way we dance till three The way you change 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 No they'll never never never never take that away from me No they can't take that away...

Till There Was You

Unforgettable

Unforgettable, that's what you are Unforgettable though near or far Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me Never before has someone been more Unforgettable in every way and forever more, that's how you'll stay That's why, darling, it's incredible That someone so unforgettable thinks that I am unforgettable too Unforgettable in every way And forever more, that's how you'll stay That's why, darling, it's incredible That someone so unforgettable Thinks that I am unforgettable too.

Until The Real Thing Comes Along

I'd work for you. I'd even slave for you. I'd be a beggar or a knave for you. If that isn't love it'll have to do until the real thing comes along . I'd gladly move the earth for you to prove my love dear and it's worth to you. If that isn't love it'll have to do until the real thing comes along. With all the words, dear, at my command just can't make you understand I'll always love you, darling, come what may My heart is yours, what more can I say? I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you I'd tear the stars down from the skies for you If that isn't love, it'll have to do Until the real thing comes along. I'd sigh for you. I'd cry for you. I'd tear down the stars for you. If that isn't love it'll have to do, until the real thing comes along. With all the words, dear, at my command I just can't make you understand I'll always love you, baby, come what may My heart is yours, what more can I say? I'd lie for you, I'll cry for you I'd lay my body down and die for you But if that isn't love, it's gonna have to do. Until the real thing comes along Until the real thing comes along.

We Three

We three We're all alone Living in a memory My echo, my shadow, and me We three We're not a crowd
We're not even company My echo, my shadow, and me What good is the moonlight, the silvery moonlight That shines above I walk with my shadow I talk with my echo But where is the one I love? We three We'll wait for you Even 'till eternity My echo, my shadow, and me We three We're all alone Seems like we're living in a memory That's my echo, my shadow, and me

What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful world I see skies of blue And clouds of white The bright blessed day The dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of people going by I see friends shaking hands Saying, "How do you do?" They're really saying "I love you" I hear babies cry I watch them grow They'll learn much more Than I'll never know And I think to myself What a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world Oh yeah

We'll Meet Again

Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu When the clouds roll by, I'll come to you Then the skies will seem more blue Down in lovers lane, my deary Wedding bells will ring so merrily Every tear will be a memory So wait and pray each night for me Till we meet again So wait and pray each night for me Till we meet again Till we meet again Down in lover's lane Wait and pray each night for me

What's New

What's new How is the world treating you You haven't changed a bit Handsome as ever I must admit
What's new How did that romance come through We haven't met since then Gee but it's nice to see you again What's new Probably I'm boring you But seeing you is grand And you were sweet to offer your hand I understand Adieu Pardon my asking what's new Of course you couldn't know I haven't changed I still love you so Adieu Pardon my asking what's new Of course you couldn't know I haven't changed

When I Fall In Love 

When I fall in love it will be forever Or I'll never fall in love in a restless world like this is Love is ended before it's begun And too many moonlight kisses Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun When I give my heart it will be completely Or I'll never give my heart And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too  Is when I fall in love with you. And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too Is when I'll fall in love with you

When You Say Nothing At All

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word you can light up the dark Try as I may I could never explain What I hear when you don't say a thing The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best when you say nothing at all All day long I can hear people talking out loud But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd Old Mr. Webster could never define What's being said between your heart and mine The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave me The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best when you say nothing at all The smile on your face lets me know that you need me There's a truth in your eyes sayin' you'll never leave meThe touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall You say it best when you say nothing at all

Who Can I Turn To

Who can I turn to when nobody needs me? My heart wants to know and so I must go where destiny leads me With no star to guide me and no one beside me I'll go on my way and, after the day, the darkness will hide me And maybe tomorrow I'll find what I'm after I'll throw off my sorrow, beg, steal, or borrow my share of laughter With you I could learn to, with you what a new day But who can I turn to if you turn away? With you I could learn to, with you what a new day But who can I turn to if you turn away?

Why Try To Change Me Now 

I'm sentimental so I walk in the rain. I've got some habits even I can't explain. Go to the corner and I end up in Spain. Why try to change me now. I sit and daydream I've got daydreams galore. Cigarette ashes there they go on the floor. Go away weekends leave my keys in the door. Why try to change me now?  Why can't I be more conventional?  People talk and they stare so I try. But that can't be 'cause I can't see. My strange little world just go passing me by. Let people wonder let 'em laugh let 'em frown. You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down. Don't you remember I was always your clown? Why try to change me now? Why can't I be more conventional?  People talk and they stare so I try. But that can't be because I can't see my strange little world just go passing me by. So let people wonder let 'em laugh let 'em frown. You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down. Don't you remember I was always your clown? Why try to change me? Why would you want to change me? Why try to change me now? 

You Always Hurt The One You Love

You & Me

You and me, we wanted it all we wanted it all Passion without pain, sunshine without rainy days We wanted it always You and me, we reached for the sky, the limit was high Never giving in, certain we could win that prize I should have seen it in your eyes Look how all our dreams came true See how I've got me and, baby, you've got you Through it all, just one thing died A little thing called love, something deep inside You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best Back when we were dumb, how did we become so smart And learn to break each other's heart? Look how all our dreams came true See how I've got me, baby, you've got you Through it all, just one thing died A little thing called love, something deep inside You and me, we're not like the rest, we once were the best But look what we became, isn't it a cryin' shame That we almost made it? But we wanted it all Baby, you and me We wanted it all

You Belong To Me

See the pyramids along the Nile Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle Just remember darling all the while You belong to me See the marketplace in old Algiers Send me photographs and souvenirs Just remember when a dream appears You belong to me I'll be so alone without you Maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue Fly the ocean in a silver plane See the jungle when it's wet with rain Just remember till you're home again You belong to me I'm gonna be so alone without you And I'm hoping maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue Fly the ocean in a silver plane See the jungle when it's wet with rain Just remember till you're home againYou belong to me

You Don't Know Me 

You give your hand to me And then you say hello And I can hardly speak My heart is beating so And anyone can tell You think you know me well But you don't know me No you don't know the one Who dreams of you at night And longs to kiss your lips And longs to hold you tight To you I'm just a friend That's all I've ever been because you don't know me For I never knew the art of making love though my heart aches with love for you Afraid and shy I let my chance go by a chance that you might love me to You give your hand to me and then you say good night I watch you walk away with beside the lucky guy You'll never know the one who loves you so well you don't know me Well I never knew the art of making love though my heart has love for you Afraid and shy I let my chance go by the chance that you might love me to you give your hand to me and then you say goodbye I watch you walk away beside that lucky guy you'll never know the one who loves you so you don't know me you'll never know the one who loves you so for you don't know me

You'll Never Know

You'll never know just how much I love you You'll never know just how much I care And if I tried I still couldn't hide my love for you You ought to know for haven't I told you so A million or more times You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my every prayer If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now You went away and my heart went with you I speak your name in my every prayer If there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how You'll never know if you don't know now
