Concepts lyrics

Our little dream castle, with every dream gone
Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn
And my heart is heavy, as I gaze upon a cottage for sale.

The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay
Our beautiful garden has withered away
Where you planted roses, the weeds seem to say, "A cottage for sale".

From every single window, I see your face
But when I reach the window, there's empty space

You told me it was so, a million dreams ago,
You held me in your arms, a million dreams ago.
So many dreams have flown, so many nights alone
I guess I should have known, it couldn't be.
I'll lock my mem'ries here in my heart
And here in my heart they'll stay.
And through the years, they'll always be part
A part of a lovely day
Goodbye, good luck old friend, I'll smile and just pretend

Adeste fideles, laete triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem.
Natum videte, Regem anglelorum
Venite adoremus
Venite adoremus,
venite adoremus,
Dominum.

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.

Hey drink up all you people
And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me

Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My poor old heart ain't gainin' any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here

Angel eyes, that old Devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight

In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
Now heaven knows, anything goes

Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing prose
Anything goes

The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today
And black's white today
And day's night today
When most guys today that women prize today
Are just silly gigolos

(Victor Young/Harold Adamson)

Around the world I've searched for you
I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous
I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow
You'd look at me and I would see the smile you're smiling now

It might have been in County Down
Or in New York, in gay Paree , or even London town
No more will I go all around the world

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say: "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs, never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what I feel the real McCoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it Granada I see or only Asbury Park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?

Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup, or is it merely the mock?

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
Of red and gold

I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold

Since you went away
The days grow long
And soon I'll hear
Old winter's song

But I miss you most of all
My darling
When autumn leaves
Start to fall

Baby won't you please come home 'cause your daddy's all alone
I have tried in vain, never no more to call your name
When you left you broke my heart, because I never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day you will hear me say: "Baby come home."

Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing-jing-a-ling-a
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads.
Sparkles, spangles, my heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.
I glitter and gleam so, make somebody dream,
So that someday he may buy me a ring, ring-a-ling-a
I've heard that's where it leads,
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.

You were my adored one,
Then you became the bored one,
And I was like a toy that brought you joy one day,
A broken toy that you preferred to throw away.

If I expected love when first we kissed,
Blame it on my youth.
If only just for you I did exist,
Blame it on my youth.
I believed in everything,
Like a child of three.
You meant more than anything,
All the world to me.

Night and you and blue Hawaii
The night is heavenly and you are heaven to me
Lovely you and blue Hawaii
With all this loveliness, there should be love

Come with me while the moon is on the sea
The night is young and so are we

Dreams come true in blue Hawaii
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you

Blue moon, you saw me standin' alone
Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me sayin' a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured "Someday soon"
We kissed and clung together

Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil

Then, tomorrow was another day

I took each word she said as gospel truth the way a silly little child would.
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth, I was no babe in the wild, wild wood.
She didn't mean it, I should have seen it, but now it's too late.

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams, now it seems, this is how the story ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"

(Irving Berlin)

Heaven
I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven
I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gamblers lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain

Dancin' in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancin' in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzin' in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here, and we're gone

Lookin' for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What though love is old
What though song is old
Through them we can be young

The world is lyrical, because a miracle has brought my lover to me
Though she's some other place, her face I see
At night I creep in bed, and never sleep in bed
But look above in the air, and to my greatest joy, my love is there
She dances overhead on the ceiling near my bed
In my sight, all through the night
I try to hide in vain underneath my counterpane
But there's my love up there above

(Rube Bloom/Johnny Mercer)

Day in - day out, that same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever I think of you
And baby I think of you, day in and day out
Day out, day in, I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I get up with a tingle, one possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair.
The smoke from my cigarette climbs through the air.
The walls of my room fade away in the blue,
And I'm deep in a dream of you.
The smoke makes a stairway for you to descend;
You come to my arms, may this bliss never end,
For we love anew just as we used to do
When I'm deep in a dream of you.
Then from the ceiling, sweet music comes stealing;

(Harold Arlen/Truman Capote)

Don't like good-byes, tears or sighs
I'm not too good at leaving time
I've got no taste for grieving time
No, no, not me

You've been my near ones, always my dear ones
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a different kind
But it came to be

Well if you think I'm telling you lies
Go try your luck and look into her eyes

Don't make me beg for your kisses,
Beg for your tender embrace,
I want your love, not your sympathy,
Please don't make a beggar of me.
Since I looked in your direction,
Your tenderness is all I seem to crave.
But when I look for your affection,
You smile, my dear, and tell me to behave.
Don't make me beg for your kisses,
Beg for your tender embrace,
I want your love, not your sympathy,

Tear a star from out the sky, and the sky feels blue.
Tear a petal from a rose, and the rose weeps too.
Take your heart away from mine, and mine will surely break.
My life is yours to make, so please keep the spark awake

Would you take the wings from birds, so that they cant fly?
Would you take the oceans roar, and leave just a sigh?
All this your heart wont let you do.

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more

So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide

At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel
You are love, you are real
Really mine

In the rain, in the dark, in the sun

Like the tide at its ebb

From this moment on
You for me, dear
Only two for tea, dear
From this moment on

From this happy day
No more blue songs
Only hoop-dee-doo songs
From this moment on

For you've got the love I need so much
You've got the skin that I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got those sweet lips to kiss me goodnight

From this moment on
You and I, babe
We'll be ridin' high, babe
Every care is gone

(Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler)

Forget your troubles and just get happy,
You better chase all your cares away.
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy,
Get ready for the Judgment Day.
The sun is shining,
come on get happy,
the Lord is waiting to take your hand.
Shout Hallelujah,
come on get happy,
we're going to the promised land.
We're heading 'cross the river,

Look at yourself
If you had a sense of humor
You would laugh to beat the band
Look at yourself
Do you still believe the rumor
That romance is simply grand?

Since you took it right on the chin
You have lost that bright toothpaste grin
My mental state is all a jumble
I sit around and sadly mumble

Fools rush in
So here I am
Very glad to be unhappy
I can't win, so here I am

Gone with the wind, just like a leaf that has blown away.
Gone with the wind, my romance has flown away.
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips,
I had a lifetime of heaven on my fingertips.
But now all is gone, gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart.
Just like a flame, love burned brightly
Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone,
Gone with the wind.

Hark! the herald angels sing, -
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled."
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!

Christ, by highest heav'n adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,

(Jimmy Van Heusen/Johnny Burke)

Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day

Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way

Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near

Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here

You don't laugh anymore, when we're alone
You don't talk quite as long, when we're on the phone
You say that you, still love me so, but I can read between the lines
You don't hear half the things, that I say to you
You don't hold me as close, as you used to do
You say that you, won't let me go, but I can read between the lines
Your love for me is over, it isn't hard to tell

Your eyes are blue - your kisses too
I never knew - what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me

You are telling - everyone I know
I'm on your mind - each place you go
They can't believe that you're in love with me

I have always placed you - far (way up there) above me
I just can't (Could never) imagine - that you love me

I'm a glum one, it's explainable, I met someone unattainable
Life's a bore, the world is my oyster no more
All the papers where I lead the news with my capers, now will spread the news
Superman turns out to be flash-in-the-pan
I've been around the world in a plane, designed the latest IBM brain
But lately I'm so downhearted, 'cause I can't get started with you

Could've danced all night, could've danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could've spread my wings and done a thousand things
I've never done before

I'll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight

I only know when she began to dance with me
I could've danced, danced, danced, danced, danced all night

I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love be coming back to me?
I cover the waterfront in search of my love
And I'm covered by a starless sky above
Here am I patiently waiting, hoping and longing
Oh, how I yearn! Where are you? Are you forgetting?
Do you remember? Will you return?
I cover the waterfront, I'm watching the sea
For the one I love must soon come back to me

I get along without you very well, of course I do,
Except when soft rains fall and drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms, of course, I do,
But I get along without you very well.
I've forgotten you just like I should, of course I have,
Except to hear your name, or someone's laugh that is the same,
But I've forgotten you just like I should.

Never treats me sweet and gentle the way she should
I got it bad and that ain't good
My poor heart is sentimental, not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain't good

But when the weekend's over and Monday rolls around
I end up like I start out, just cryin' my heart out

Doesn't love me like I love her, no, nobody could
I got it bad and that ain't good

I got plenty of nothing
And nothing's plenty for me
I got no car - got no mule
I got no misery

Folks with plenty of plenty
They've got a lock on the door
Afraid somebody's gonna rob 'em
While there out (a) making more - what for

I got no lock on the door - that's no way to be
They can steal the rug from the floor - that's OK with me

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low-down
I gotta right to hang around
Down
around the river

A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor (old) heart around
All I see,
for me is - misery

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to
sit and cry
Down around the river

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me

I guess I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began

Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air

My feet are back upon the ground
I lost the one girl I'd found

Before I knew where I was at

In a world of glitter and glow, in a world of tinsel and show
The unreal from the real thing is hard to know
I discovered somebody who could be truly worthy and true
Yes, I met my ideal thing when I met you

I see your face before me crowding my every dream
There is your face before me, you are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are, I can see how fair you are

I took a trip on a train
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you

Two or three cars arked under the stars
A winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream

And every stop that we made, oh, I thought about you
When I pulled down the shade then I really felt blue
I peeked through the crack, looked at the track

The sleepless nights - the daily fights
The quick toboggan - when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses - and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again

The broken dates - the endless waits
The lovely loving - and the hateful hates
The conversation - with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again

No more pain - no more strain
Now I'm sane - but I would rather be punched - drunk

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, madame with you
My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do

You know what, you're lovely
You know what, you're so lovely
and, oh, what you do to me

I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor

When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle

I'll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now
I'll be around from now on.

Your latest love
Can never last,
And when its past,
I'll be around when he's gone

Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Oh drop a line to say you 're feeling fine

And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So I'll be around when he's gone.

Good-bye again,

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 lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

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 lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas

I'll never be the same, stars have lost their meaning for me,
I'll never be the same, nothing's what it once used to be,
And when the sun-birds that sing tell me it's spring,
I can't believe their song, once love was king, but kings can be wrong,
I'll never be the same, there is such an ache in my heart.
Never be the same, since we're apart.

I'll see you again whenever spring breaks through again.
Time may lie heavy between, but what has been, is past forgetting.
Your sweet memory across the years will come to me.
Though my world may go awry, in my heart 'twill ever lie,
Just the echo of a sigh, goodbye.

All my life I shall remember knowing you,
All the pleasures that I found in showing you,
The different ways that one may face,

(Fred Ahlert/Joe Young)

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you
I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lotta kisses at the bottom
I'll be glad I got 'em

I'm gonna smile and say "I hope that you're much better"
And then I'll close the way I do
I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter

I've had my moments, I will confess,
My fleeting moments of tenderness,
I sang of true love, I've played guitars,
Then found a new love 'neath tropical stars.
This time's the last time, this time it's new,
Love as a pastime for me is through,
I've had my moments, my big bad moments,
But now my one big moment is you.

I sang of true love, and I've played guitars,

If it's the last thing I do, I'll make you mine
Darling the first thing is you, in my design
Just like the stars guard the moon above me
That's just how I'll guard our love, so love me
Please love me

If it's the last thing I do, I'll take your hand
And though I won't say a word, you'll understand
I'll build a dream just for two
And then I'll make it come true
If it's the very last thing I do

(Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler)

Blow ill wind, blow away, let me rest today.
You're blowin' me no good, no good.
Go ill wind, go away, skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood, and that ain't good
You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin', ain't that a shame
It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere, when love's to blame.

'twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flow'rs bloomin' round her
Where we met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above

I can be happy, I can be sad
Can be good, can be bad
It all depends on you

I can be lonely out in a crowd
Can be humble, maybe proud
It all depends on you

I can save money or spend it
Go right on livin' or end it
You're to blame, honey, for what I do

I know that I can be beggar, I can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you

Can save money, maybe spend it

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all gracious king
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats, O'er all the weary world.

(Jimmy Van Heusen/Johnny Burke)

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's a blue world without you, it's a blue world alone.
My days and nights that once were filled with heaven,
With you away, how empty they have grown.
It's a blue world from now on, it's a through world for me.
The sea, the sky, my heart and I, we're all an indigo hue,
Without you, it's a blue, blue world.

Your sweet expression, the smile you gave me, the way you looked when we met,
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget.
I hear you whisper, I'll always love you, I know it's over and yet,
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget.
So I must dream to have your hands caress me, fingers press me tight,
I'd rather dream than have that lonely feeling stealing through the night.

It's very nice to go trav'ling
To Paris London and Rome
It's oh so nice to go trav'ling
But it's so much nicer, yes it's so much nicer, to come home

It's very nice to just wander
The camel route to Iraq
It's oh so nice to just wander
But it's so much nicer, yes it's oh so nice, to wander back

The mam'selles and frauleins, and the senoritas are sweet

(arold Arlen/Yip Harburg)

I never feel a thing is real when I'm away from you
Out of your embrace, the world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm, a bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm, you smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, it's only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believe in me

Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those eyes?
Gosh all git-up, how'd you get so lit up?
Gosh all git up, how'd it get that size?
Golly gee, when you turn those heaters on,
Woe is me, got to put my cheaters on.
Jeepers creepers, where'd you get those peepers?
Oh those weepers, how they hypnotize!
Where'd you get those eyes?

Just friends, lovers no more, just friends, but not like before
To think of what we've been, and not to kiss again
Seems like pretending, it isn't the ending
Two friends, drifting apart, two friends, but one broken heart
We loved we laughed we cried, then suddenly love died
The story ends and we're just friends
We loved we laughed and we cried, then suddenly love died

Just in time, I found you just in time
Before you came, my time was runnin' low
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go
Now you're here and now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubt or fear, I found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely day

(Harold Arlen/Yip Harburg)

Last night when we were young, love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real so right, ages ago last night
Today the world is old, you flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star that shone so bright, ages ago last night
To think that spring had depended on merely this a look, a kiss

Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall

And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes, how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream

She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream

(Jimmy Van Heusen/Johnny Burke)

Lately, I find myself gazing at stars, hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me, mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove, and feeling like someone in love.

When you were very young, the world was younger than you,
As merry as a carousel,
The circus tent was strung with ever star in the sky,
Above the ring you loved so well.
Now the young world has grown old, gone are the silver and gold,
Chorus : Sit there and count your fingers, what can you do,
Old girl, you're through.
Just sit there and count your little fingers, unhappy little girl blue.

New York, New York, or a village in Iowa
The only difference is the name
If you're alone, whether on Main Street, or on Broadway
If you're alone, they are both the same, a town's a lonely town
When you pass through and there is no one waiting there for you
Then it's a lonely town, you wander up and down
The crowds rush by, a million faces pass before your eyes, still it's a lonely town

Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look up - look up
And seek your maker
Before (Mr.) Gabriel blows his horn

(I'm) Weary (of) toting - such a (heavy) load
Trudging down - the (that) lonesome road

Look down - look down
That lonesome road
Before (before) you travel on

True love - true love
What have I done
That you should treat me so

You - caused me
To walk and talk

Love locked out in all the cold and rain,
Love locked out may never come again,
Love locked out and weeping bitter tears,
But no one ever hears love calling.
Though we need the precious gift it brings,
We don't heed the song of love it sings,
On the door love beats its tiny wings,
Just love locked out.
A world without love is a world without life,
A sad world full of gloom,

Another bride Another June
Another sunny honey moon
another season, another reason
for makin' whoopee

Alot of shoes alot of rice
the groom is nervous he answers twice
its so killin that he's so willin'
To make whoopee

Picture a little love nest
down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring

He's washing dishes and baby clothes

(Rube Bloom/Sammy Gallop)

Each time I see a crowd of people, just like a fool I stop and stare
It's really not the proper thing to do, but maybe you'll be there
I go out walking after midnight, along the lonely thoroughfare
It's not the time or place to look for you, but maybe you'll be there
You said your arms would always hold me, you said you lips were mine alone to kiss

Waking skies at sunrise, every sunset, too,
Seems to be bringing me memories of you.
Here and there, everywhere - scenes that we once knew,
And they all just recall memories of you.
How I wish I could forget those happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears.

Your face beams in my dreams, 'spite of all I do.
Everything seems to bring memories of you.

You ain't been blue; no, no, no, you ain't been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Always get that mood indigo, since my baby said goodbye.
In the evenin' when lights are low, I'm so lonesome I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be.

Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves, a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont

Icy finger-waves
Ski trails on a mountainside
Snowlight in Vermont

Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely

Ev'ning summer breeze
Warbling of a meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont

None but the lonely heart can know my sadness
Alone and parted far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boundless arch I see spread about above me
O what a distance dear to one who loves me
None but the lonely heart can know my sadness
Alone and parted far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far from joy and gladness
My senses fail, a burning fire devours me,

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love

By the old Moulmein Pagoda
Looking eastward to the sea
There's a Burma gal a settin'
And I know that she waits for me

And the wind is in those palm trees
And the temple bells they say
Come you back you mother soldier
Come you back to Mandalay, come you back to Mandalay

Come you back to Mandalay
Where the old flotilla lay
I can here those paddles chonkin'
From Rangoon to Mandalay

Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry at the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid 'cause this rover, crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as rich as Rockfeller

Each place I go only the lonely go
Some little small caf
The songs I know only the lonely know
Each melody recalls a love that used to be
The dreams I dream only the lonely dream
Of lips as warm as May
That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme
That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care
And you'll recall each fun time
Those picnics at the beach when love was new

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year, but ever and a day

The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go

But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long long way

In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

What is there to write? What is there to say?
Same things happen everyday, not a thing to write, not a thing to say,
So I take my pen in hand and start the same old way.

Dear, I thought I'd drop a line, the weather's cool, the folks are fine,
I'm in bed each night at nine, P. S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain, but all in all, I can't complain,

I'm gonna buy a paper doll that I can call my own
A doll that other fellas cannot steal
And then the flirty, flirty guys with their flirty, flirty eyes
Will have to flirt with dollies that are real

When I come home at night she'll be there waiting
She'll be the truest doll in all this world
I'd rather have a paper doll to call my own
Than have a fickle-minded, real live girl

(Arthur Johnston/Johnny Burke)

Every time it rains, it rains
Pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You'll find your fortune falling all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers

The leaves of brown came tumbling down,
remember in September in the rain
The Sun went out just like a dying amber,
that September in the rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper,
The raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain
Though spring is here to me it's still September,
that September in the rain
To every word of love I heard you whisper

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give

When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine
Don't say no, because I insist
Somewhere, somehow, someone's gotta be kissed

I used to walk with you along the avenue, our hearts were young and gay,
How could I know I'd lose you somewhere along the way.
The friends we used to know, would always smile hello,
No love like our love, they say then love slipped through our fingers,
Somewhere along the way.
I should forget, but with the loneliness of night, I start remembering everything,

Once there was a thing called spring,
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine.
All the lads and girls would sing,
When we sat at little tables and drank May wine.
Now April, May, and June are sadly out of tune, life has stuck a pin in the balloon.
Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
While (And) stars fell on Alabama (fractured 'Bama)
Last night

I never planned in my imagination
A situation - so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center - just you and me

My heart beat (just) like a hammer

I'm blue every Monday
Thinkin' over Sunday
That one day when I'm with you
It seems that I sigh all day Tuesday
I cry all day Wednesday
Oh my, how I long for you

And then comes Thursday
Gee, it's long, it never gets by
And Friday makes me feel
Just like I'm gonna die

But after pay day, is my fun day
I shine all day Sunday
That one day when I'm with you

-Instrumental-

And then comes Thursday

Everybody's hand in hand
Swingin' down the lane
Everybody's feelin' grand
Swingin' down the lane

That's the time I miss the bliss
That we might have known
Nights like this
When I'm all alone

When the moon is on the rise
Baby I'm so blue
Watchin' lovers makin' eyes
Like we used to do

When the moon is on the way
Still I'm waitin' all in vain
Should be swingin' down the lane
With you

Here I go again, I hear those trumpets blow again.
All aglow again , takin' a chance on love.
Here I slide again, about to take that ride again.
Starry-eyed again, takin' a chance on love.

I thought that cards were a frame-up, I never would try.
Now I'm taking that game up and the ace of hearts is high.
Things are mending now, I see a rainbow blending now.

So I walked a little too fast, and I drive a little too fast,
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?
So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much,
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd,
So that people are apt to stare.
Do they know, do they care,
That it's only that I'm lonely, and low as can be,

The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel
Noel,Noel
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued, both day and night.

It's the last dance, we've come to the last dance
They're dimming the lights down, they're hoping we'll go
It's obvious they're aware of us, the pair of us, alone on the floor
Still I want to hold you like this forever and more

It the last song, they're playing the last song
The orchestra's yawning, they're sleepy I know

There will be many other nights like this,
And I'll be standing here with someone new,
There will be other songs to sing, another fall, another spring,
But there will never be another you.
There will be other lips that I may kiss,
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do,
Yes, I may dream a million dreams,
But how can they come true,
If there will never ever be another you.

I used to sit by my fireplace
And dream about you.
But now that won't do.
There's a flaw in my flue

Your lovely face in my firplace
Was all that I saw
But now it won't draw
My flue has a flaw

From every beautiful ember a memory arose
Now I try to remember and smoke gets in my nose
It's not as sweet as the unit-heat
To dream about you
So darling, adieu
There's a flaw in my flue.

Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's so close for comfort

Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "When"

Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation

One thing leads to another

You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old stand-by: amorous
It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough

You're much too much
And just too very very
Too ever be in Webster's dictionary
And so I'm borrowing
A lovesong from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous

Wait till you see her, see how she looks, wait till you hear her laugh,
Painters of painting, drivers of gloom never could tell the height,
Wait till you feel the warmth of her glance, pensive and sweet and wise,
All of it lovely, all of it thrilling, I'll never be willing to free her,
When you see her, you won't believe your eyes.

No tears, no fears
Remember there's always tomorrow
So what if we have to part
We'll be together again

Your kiss, your smile
Are memories I'll treasure forever
So try thinking with your heart
We'll be together again

Times when I know you'll be lonesome
Times when I know you'll be sad
Don't let temptation surround you
Don't let the blues make you bad

Someday, someway

(Bob Haggart/Johnny Burke)

What's new? How is the world treating you?
You haven't changed a bit, lovely as ever, I must admit
What's new? How did that romance come through?
We haven't met since then, gee, but it's nice to see you again
What's new? Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand, and you were sweet to offer your hand

When no one cares
And the phone never rings
The nights are endless things

You're like a child that cries
And no one heeds the crying
You're like a falling star that dies
And seems to go on dying

When no one cares
You just count souvenirs
And they glisten with your tears

You can't believe a love like hers
Could come from someone new
When no one cares - but you

It isn't by chance I happen to be,
A boulevardier, the toast of Paris.
For over the noise, the talk and the smoke,
I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a jokeI walk in a room, a party or ball,
"Come sit over here" somebody will call.
"A drink for M'sieur, a drink for us all!
But how many times I stop and recall.

Ah, the apple trees,
Blossoms in the breeze,
That we walked among,
Lying in the hay,

(Jimmy McHugh/Harold Adamson)

Where are you
Where have you gone without me
I thought you cared about me
Where are you
Where's my heart
Where is the dream we started
I can't believe we're parted
Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is my happy ending

Where do you go when it starts to rain,
where will you sleep when the night time comes
What do you do when your heart's in pain,
where will you run when the right time comes
These are the things that I want to know,
where will you hide when the lights are low
Where do you go when it starts to rain,
where will you sleep when the night time comes?

Where is the one who'll end the search I'm making?
Where is the one who'll change my dream to waking?
Behind some far-off secret door
There's my love, there's my life in store

The journey's long, much longer than I reckoned
In any throng, I'll know her in a second
Some lucky day I'm bound to find her
And when I do, I'll find you

Some lucky day I'm bound to find her
And when I do, I'll find love

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me

Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me

Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan

I think of you with every breath I take, with every breeze that wanders by.
And your name is a song, I'll remember the long years through.
I breathe your name with every breath I take, and every breath becomes a sigh.
Not a sigh of despair, but a sigh that I'll always care.
Even now as I walk through the garden, seems that I hear love say:
"Some day, some way."

When skies are cloudy and gray
They're only gray for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Until that sunshine peeps through
There's only one thing to do
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream all your troubles away
Your castles may tumble thats fate after all
Life's really funny that way
No use to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren't you king for a day?

You'll shout when it hits you - yes indeed!
Yes you'll shout when it hits you - yes indeed!
When the spirit moves you, you'll shout: "hallelujah!"
When it hits you, (you'll) holler (shout) - yes indeed!

If the nightingales could sing like you
They'd sing much sweeter than they do
For you brought a new kind of love to me

And if the sandman brought me dreams of you
I'd want to sleep my whole life through
You brought a new love to me

I know that I'm the slave, you're the queen
Still you can understand that underneath it all
You're a maid and I am only a man

Every kiss, every hug seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms, I'm addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love was something I could take or leave alone
But now I couldn't do without my supply, I need you for my own
Oh, I can't break away, I must have you everyday, as regularly as coffee or tea
