Complete Capitol Singles Collection lyrics

You could leave tomorrow, fly to Mandalay, darling I would love you anyway,
I just couldn't help but care, anytime, anywhere.
You can keep me waiting every single day, I'll be there to meet you anyway,
You make life a love affair, anytime, anywhere.
Why should I lie and pretend I don't belong to you,
Why even try when it makes no difference what you do, I'll be true.

Can I steal a little love?
Can I steal a little love?
Cool me, honey, I'm on fire
To steal your love is my desire

Hug me, squeeze me, 'til I'm red
'til my eyes bug out my head
Coo me, woo me, turtle dove
Can I steal a little love?

Please tell me why are you drivin' me crazy?
Why do I dig you like I do?
If I should steal a little kiss
And you can prove that it's wrong
I'll give it back to you

(Phil Tuminello/Sammy Cahn)

Crazy love, people say I'm crazy in love.
Just a fool, sighing sighs to the skies up above
It isn't normal or real, to feel heaven's right inside your door.
But somehow that's how I feel, and I've never felt this way before.
Crazy dreams, keep me clinging to this affair.
I'm insane to keep dreaming that you could care.

Change the alphabet from A to Z, teach the fish to walk the sea,
Tell the stars and moon to shine at noon, but don't change your mind about me.
Tell the flowers not to bloom at all, put the month of June in fall.
I can see it through as long as you just don't change your mind about me.
Till the day it ends, my life depends on your loving me as you do,

Fairy tale, my favorite fairy tale is the one I live with wonderful you,
Life is so grand, a fabulous fairyland, and we walk it hand in hand as lovers do,
Fantasy became a reality, with your tender kiss you open the door,
You are marvelous, divine, Aladdin's lamp did shine,
The magic days that you were mine,
Fairy tale, our love is a fairy tale, and it never has been told before.

Five hundred guys have one thousand eyes for my baby,
They stand around and stare, no matter where she goes,
Five hundred men have one great big yen for my baby,
They'd like to buy her things, like diamond rings and clothes,
I really had to overcome a lot of competition,
And I'm not telling how I reaped my number one position.
But four ninety nine are wasting their time with my baby,

Flowers mean forgiveness, I heard a poet say,
When you need forgiveness, you give her a bouquet,
Flowers mean forgiveness, my darling, here I stand,
Asking your forgiveness, with flowers in my hand.
As sure as I was wrong when I made you cry,
I know that you'd be wrong if you say goodbye.
Take these lovely flowers, or they'll be lonely too.
Flowers mean forgiveness, forgive me, say you do.

If you turn me down once more, I'll join the French Foreign Legion
Betcha they would welcome me with open arms

First you love me, yes; then you love me, no
I don't know where I stand
Do we march together down the isle
Or do I march that desert sand?

If you think I won't find romance in the French Foreign Legion
Think about that uniform with all its charms

If your eyes were half as bright, they still would light my way,
If your heart were twice as true then you'd be mine today.
That's why I often wish that you were half as lovely, twice as true,
I'm only one of those who thinks of you and sighs,
Just another who knows your laughter and lies.
I wish that you were someone who was half as lovely, twice as true.

There's hidden persuasion within your eyes
Your charming indifference is but a disguise
I would be glad to love you if love is in the deal
But I must feel quite certain that the love is so real

Your hidden persuasion seems quite sincere
Perhaps my evasion is meaningless fear
Since every gain requires the element of chance
Here's hoping at least we'll find romance

Baby you went and broke your faithful, promise
How could you do a thing like that, to me
Didn't I give you everything, I'd promised
How could you do a thing like that, to me
Never thought - you'd be untrue, when my back - (it) was turned on you
If someone gave me all the world (the whole wide world), to hurt you
I wouldn't do a thing like that, to you

I could have told you, she'd hurt you, she'd love you a while, then desert you
If only you asked, I could have told you so
I could have saved you some crying, yes I could have told you she's lying
But you were in love and didn't want to know
I hear her now as I toss and turn and try to sleep
I hear her now, making promises she'll never keep

I love you. I love you.
Is all that I can say.
I love you. I love you.
The same old worlds I'm saying in the same old way.

I love you. I love you.
Three words that are divine.
And now, my dear, I'm waitin' to hear
The words that will make you mine.

Little girl, I love you.
Can't you see I love you.
I love you. Can't you see I love you.

I love you. I love you.
Three words that are divine.

This lovely day will lengthen into evening, we'll sigh goodbye 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 and spring were new.
But I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow, for I'll remember, April and you.

I'm gonna live till I die! I'm gonna laugh 'stead of cry,
I'm gonna take the town and turn it upside down,
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.
They're gonna say "What a guy!" I'm gonna play for the sky.
Ain't gonna miss a thing, I'm gonna have my fling,
I'm gonna live, live, live until I die.
The blues I lay low, I'll make them stay low,
They'll never trail over my head.

It seems to me I've heard that song before
It's from an old familiar score
I know it well, that melody

It's funny how a theme
Recalls a favorite dream
A dream that brought you so close to me

I know each word, because I've heard that song before
The lyrics said: "for evermore"
For evermore's a memory

Please have them play it again
And (Then) I'll remember just when

Oh, if I had three wishes, my first would be for you,
And if you became my love, I'd return the other two.
Oh, if I had three wishes, I'd ask for you alone,

All the other things I want will be mine when you're my own.
But if you chose me, that I must use the other two,
It wouldn't matter, dear, cause here's what I would do.
If I had those three wishes, my first would be for you,

It worries me, you seem to be unhappy, and that worries me
I hate to think that maybe I have made you blue
Just what did I do, was I mean to you, wish I knew
I worry so, if anything is wrong, I have the right to know
So while I hold you close and kiss you tenderly
Tell it all to me, darling can't you see, anything that worries you, worries me

It's over, it's over, it's over, I won't look back,
Won't look back, my bridge has been crossed.
It's over, it's over, it's over, I'll walk away,
I'll stay away, cause my heart's been lost.
Losing is not a happy thing when the stakes are high,
Not when you lose your lover on a simple goodbye.
It's over, it's over, It's over, I can't look back,
Won't look back, my heart says it's done.

Look to your heart, when there are words to say
And never leave your love unspoken.
Day by day, we go our thoughtless way, and only when we pray
Do we remember those we love.
Too late to find a word that's warm and kind,
Is more than just a passing token.
Speak your love to those who seek your love,
Look to your heart, your heart will know what to say,
Look to your heart today.

(Lew Spence/Marilyn Keith & Alan Bergman)

Like moonlight looks on a country side, like a rose that's silvered with dew,
Like sunlight looks on a meadow, love looks so well on you.
Like children look on a carousel, all the joys they feel shining through,
Like picnics look on a Sunday, love looks so well on you.

In the heavens, stars are dancing and the mounting moon is new,
What a rare night for romancing, mind if I make love to you?
Since the dear day of our meeting, I wanted to tell you all I long to do,
Dawn is nearing, time is fleeting, mind if I make love to you?

When they see Monique, I know they'll understand
Monique, Monique, I've hungered so for this
Monique, Monique, the magic of your kiss
Monique, Monique, was Paris always there
Monique, Monique, I didn't know or care
But why am I dancing, my friends may well demand
I'll tell them Monique, Monique held my hand
When they see Monique, I'm sure they'll understand

When I walk through a jam, no one knows who I am,
Put your head on my chest, and I am Mr. Success.
Never closed me a deal, all at once Im a wheel,
Just your head on my chest, and Im Mr. Success.
Why I once knew a worrying man, he was a hurrying man,
With never a second to play,
He had appointments to keep, people to meet,
And it took thirty hours to make him a day,

When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh, I hurry to my blue heaven.
A turn to the right a little white light will lead you to my blue heaven.
You'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom.
Just Mollie and me and baby makes three,
We're happy in my blue heaven.

The very thought of you makes
My heart sing
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love

The shadows fall
And spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night
While youre in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that Ive never known
The blush on your cheek

I think of you, my love, not as a stranger,
Although it's true, my love we've only met.
Yet I know your smile and I know your sigh,
Know them well from dreams I can't forget.
We've kissed like this before, you are not a stranger,
A thousand times or more.
'Neath stars above, now the path is clear,
For at last you're here, not as a stranger dear,
But my own true love.

We've got nothin', got nothin' in common, just nothin' in common
My darling, at all
I love the opera, I detest the best pop
Can't stand the opera, I like music that bops
We're not fated, not heaven-created
We're really mis-mated, our chances are small
Let's part, be real smart and not start with this romance
'cause outside of both having stars in our eyes

(Lew Spence/Marilyn Keith & Alan Bergman)

Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm there was a chick
The purtiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick, she had curves everywhere
Ol' MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

And oh, this chick, she had a walk, E-I-E-I-O
And how this walk would drive 'em wild swingin' to and 'fro

Rain falling from the skies, like lonely tears through misty eyes
Rain streaming down my face, brings memories my heart cannot erase
Here alone in all my sorrows, waiting for the clouds to hurry by
Praying that a new tomorrow will put the sun back in the sky
Rain wash away my tears, so when that sun appears
I'll see my love again

You keep goin' your way - I'll keep goin' my way
(I'll keep goin' my way, you keep rollin' your way)
River, stay 'way from the door
I just got (me) a cabin - you don't need my (you'll never need that) cabin
River, stay 'way from the door
Don't (you) come up any higher - I'm so all alone
Leave the bed and the fire - that is all I own (and you can have that phone)

It's just the same old song and dance, the same old song and dance,
Turns out you never cared at all, turns out you bound me like a ball,
Whoever thought I'd fall for the same old song and dance,
It's just the same old smooth routine, the same old moonlit scene,
Turns out you only used those eyes simply to tell me all those lies,
I really went king-size for the same old song and dance.

(Lew Spence/Marilyn Keith & Alan Bergman)

Sentimental baby, sweet and gentle baby, just the way a baby oughta be,
Heaven in the morning, heaven in the evening, how did such an angel get to me?
Cuddle and caress me, snuggle up and yes me,
I'm a guy who loves a clinging vine,
Kiss me, baby, kiss me and then do it, baby, over again.

Gonna take a sentimental journey, gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey, to renew old memories
I got my bag, I got my reservation, spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation, I long to hear that: "All aboard!"
Seven, that's the time we leave - at seven, I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track - that moves me back

(Lew Spence/Marilyn Keith & Alan Bergman)

Sleep warm, sleep tight, when you turn off the light,
Sleep warm, sleep well, my love.
Rest your head on your pillow, what a lucky pillow,
Close to you, so close to you all night.
Sleep warm, sleep well, let dreams within you dwell,
Sweet dreams of me, my love.
Close your eyes now and kiss me, and whisper you miss me,

So long, my love, goodbye, farewell, adieu,
So long, my love, our love's no longer true,
Let's make the final scene nice and clean, no aftermath,
Oh miss the bitter talk, and just walk us a separate path, face it,
Be sure this kiss is now an endless thing,
I seem to miss the bells that use to ring,
So like they say in France, when romance is all fini

Something wonderful happens in summer
When the sky is a heavenly blue
You fall in love - you fall in love
With someone who loves you too

Something wonderful happens in summer
When the moon makes you feel all aglow
You fall in love - you fall in love
You want the whole world to know

You carve initials on a tree
You kiss and exchange a ring
June and July go by

Love may be a gamble or a lead pipe cinch,
Leave your heart in shambles, never give an inch
But however it goes, when it's under your nose,
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance.
Love may be a fire or a puff of smoke,
Moment of desire or it's go-for-broke,
But however it's planned when it closes your hand,
Take a chance, take a chance, take a chance.

You're always in a great big hurry, grab a kiss and off you scurry.
Off to there, and there to who knows where.
I'd give the world and all creation for a little conversation,
Just a word or two, how are things, what's new?
Please talk to me, talk to me, talk to me,
Your magical kiss can take me just so far.
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me,
Don't leave me like this, dangling from a star.

While you're young, take the time, if you love her
Tell her you love her, tell her you love her
If the dream in your heart needs no other
Tell her you love her, tell her tonight

If there's a place for her warmth and her splendor
Tell her now before it?s too late

And before she belongs to another
Tell her you love her, tell her tonight

If there's a place for her warmth and her splendor

(Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn)

Frosted window panes, candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Santa's on his way, he's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year when the world falls in love
Ev'ry song you hear seems to say "Merry Christmas,
"May your New Year dreams come true"
And this song of mine in three-quarter time

(Harold Arlen/Ira Gershwin)

The night is bitter, the stars have lost their glitter
The winds grow colder, suddenly you're a lot older
And all because of a gal who got away
No more her eager call, the writing is on the wall
All those dreams you dreamed, they have all gone astray

The gal who won you, she's run off and undone you
That great beginning has seen the final inning

By the beautiful sea, you'll see a girl and a fella,
By the beautiful sea, you'll see a yellow umbrella,
That's where we'll spoon on the sand, and then pretty soon, hand in hand,
We walk through the waves, right up to our chins,
We dream happy flounders of flapping their fins,
When you're in love, the seaweed smells just like roses,
Each breaker we strike is like a velvet settee,

They came to Cordura, they came to Cordura,
In search of destiny as wand'rers have always gone.
And there in Cordura, somewhere in Cordura, the hand of destiny awaited a certain one.
Bring your hopes and dreams to Cordura, only if they dwell deep in your heart,
For the old men say, on each chosen day in Cordura,
They will bless your dreams or tear them apart.

Soft as a raindrop, fresh as the sea
Warm as the sunshine shining on me
This was my love, this was my love

Light was her laughter, few were her tears
Gentle her beauty, tender her years
This was my love, this was my love

So young, so fair, such bright golden hair
A smile always on her face
No other love can ever compare
No other can take her place

Others may cherish fortune or fame

To love - and be loved
That's what life's - all about
Keeps the stars - coming out
What makes a sad heart sing - the birds take wing

To love - and be loved
That's what living - is for
Makes me want you the more - the more we cling

Let others race - to the moon
Through time and space - to the moon
My goal is greater than this
To reach your lips - to share your kiss

To stay - in your arms

Hey, one heart is not enough, baby, two hearts make you feel crazy.
One makes you feel is so nice, two gets to put you in paradise,
Two hearts, two kisses, make one love.
Two hearts beat as one. dear, two arms make me know you care,
I have plenty of loving, your kiss is hotter than an oven.
Two hearts, two kisses, make one love.

Weep they will, will the lads down the street
When they find that you're promised to me.
Weep they will, as their heart's lose a beat
At the thought you'll no longer be free.

Oh, smug, am I; warm and snug am I,
When you're close in my arms just like this.
It's so easy to see they're jealous of me.
There's so much love they will miss.

Weep they will, at the sound of the news

Frank:
I have heard among this clan,
You are called the forgotten man

Bing:
Is that what they're saying, well did you evah!
What a swell party this is

Frank:
And have you heard the story of,
A boy, a girl, unrequited love

Bing:
Sounds like pure soap opera

Frank:
I may cry

Bing:
Tune In Tomorrow
What a swell party this is

What frails, what frocks

Frank:
What broads!

Bing:

When I stop loving you the way I do, there'll be no moon to shine, no sky of blue,
When our two lips no longer cling, there'll be no bird to sing, there'll be no spring.
When I stop wanting you, forever more, there'll be no ocean wave to kiss the shore.
This world will crumble, and the skies will fall, my heart won't speak at all,
When I stop loving you.

Who wants to be a millionaire?
I don't.

Have flashy flunkeys everywhere?
I don't.

Who wants the bother of a country estate?
A country estate is something I'd hate!

Who wants to wallow in champagne?
I don't.

Who wants a supersonic plane?
I don't.

Who wants a private landing field too?
I don't.
And I don't 'cause all I want is you.

Who wants to be a millionaire?
I don't.

I dont why I should
Cry over you
Sigh
Over you.
Even be blue

I should have known that youd leave me alone
And break my heart in two
Although you have left me alone to pine
And all my love was a [big fat] waste of time
Someday your heart will be broken like mine
So why should I cry over you
(x2)

You broke my heart, you took it apart
So pack up your bags and beat it

If our affair is going to fold, ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing,
Your act of love is getting bold, ya better stop, ya better stop.
The pace is more than I can take, ya better stop, ya better stop rehearsing,
Apply the pressure to the brake, ya better stop, ya better stop.
I've a notion you've gone too far, stop a'wishing my submission,
Just turn the key and kill your ignition.

Love was like a song, a lovely melody, our hearts would sing along, in perfect harmony
But you forgot all the words while I still remember the tune
Each time our lips would cling, I heard a serenade
Of love and youth and spring, forever to be played
But you forgot all the words, while I still remember the tune.
We used to dance, instead of walk, we used to sing, instead of talk

You'll always be the one I love, every hour, every day, every year,
You'll always be the one I love, thru each smile, thru each sigh, thru each tear.
My heart will feel the same old way, even though the stars fade from above.
I promise there will be no other arms for me, you'll always be the one I love.

Like a fish gets caught on a hook, you'll go for a line, get hit with the book,
Like cop puts cuff on a crook, baby, you'll get yours.
Like a clown falls down from a slap, you'll fall for sweet talk and know you're a sap
Like a bear walks right in a trap, baby, you'll get yours.
Like Eve who tricked old Adam, had to pay the cost,
A great Voice boomed and said, Madam, get lost,

I've no proof when people say you're more or less aloof,
But you're sensational.
I don't care if you are called "The Fair Miss Frigidaire",
'Cause you're sensational.

Making love is quite an art.
What you require is the proper squire to fire your heart.

And if you'll say that one fine day you'll let me come to call
We'll have a ball
'Cause you're sensational
Sensational.
That's all
That's all

My love is ever you, my love, now and forever, you my love.
You walked into my lonely world, what peace of mind your smile unfurled.
Yes and because of you, my love, my wishful dream came true, my love.
In my uncertain heart, I'm only certain of how much I love you. My love.

It's fabulous, it's fantasy, it knocks me out tremendously, your love for me.
It never was obtainable, and now it's unexplainable, your love for me.
It's priceless and it's precious, it's a joy to reveal,
It's hard to believe just how lucky in love you have made me feel.
It's lovable, it's lyrical, it's something of a miracle, your love for me.
