Sing To Me Mr. C.

You were meant for me
I was meant for you!
Nature patterned you, an' when she was done
You were all the sweet things rolled in one!

You're like a plaintive melody
That never lets me free
I'm content, the angels must have sent you
And they meant you just for me!

You . . .
Were . . .
Meant . . .
For me!

I . . .
Was . . .
Meant . . .
For you!

I'm content,
The angels must have sent you
And they meant you
Just for me!

Gigi . . . am i a fool without a mind
Or have i merely been to blind to realize?
Oh gigi . . . why you've been growin' up
Before my very eyes!

Gigi . . . you're not at all the funny
Awkward little girl i knew
Oh no, overnight there's been a breathless
Change in you!

Gigi . . . why you were tremblin' on the brink
Was i out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star?
Oh gigi . . . have i been standin' up to close
Or back too far?

When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
Has made you the way you are?

A fellow needs a girl, to sit by his side
At the end of a weary day
To sit by his side and listen to him talk
And agree with the things he'll say!

A fellow needs a girl, to hold in his arms
When the rest of the world goes wrong
To hold in his arms and know that she believes
That her fellow is wise and strong!

When things go right and his job's well done
He wants to share the prize he's won
If no one shares and no one cares
Where's the fun of a job well done, or a prize you've won?

A fellow needs a home, his own kind of home
But to make this dream come
A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!

< instrumental break >

A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!

One dream in my heart,
One love to be living for,
One love to be living for,
This nearly was mine!

One girl for my dreams,
One partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise,
This nearly was mine!

Close to my heart she came,
Only to fly away!
Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlight!

Now, now i'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise,
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!

< instrumental break >

Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlight!

Now, now i'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise,
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!

There could never be a portrait of my love
For nobody could paint a dream!
You will never see a portrait of my love
For miracles are never seen!

Anyone who sees her,
Soon forgets the mona lisa!
It would take i know, a michael angelo,
And he would need the glow of dawn
That paints the sky above
To try an' paint a portrait of my love!

< instrumental break >

. . . yes, he would need the glow of dawn
That paints the sky above
To try an' paint a portrait of my love!

Smile/how deep is the ocean?/this nearly was mine

Sing to me, mr. c., sing to me
The song that i've been waiting to hear,
Just for me, mr. c., just for me,
And everybody else will disappear . . .

Smile, though your heart is aching,
Smile, even though it's breaking!
When there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by!
If you smile through your fear an' sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you!

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness,
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on tryin',
Smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you'll just smile!

< instrumental break >

That's the time you must keep on tryin',
Smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you'll just smile!

How much do i love you?
I'll tell you no lie,
How deep is the ocean,
How high is the sky?

How many times a day
Do i think of you?
How many roses
Are sprinkled with dew?

How far would i travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if i ever lost you,
How much would i cry?
How deep is the ocean,
How high is the sky?

< instrumental break >

And if i ever lost you,
How much would i cry?
How deep is the ocean,

One dream in my heart,
One love to be living for,

This nearly was mine!

One girl for my dreams,
One partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise,
This nearly was mine!

Only to fly away!
Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlight!

Now, now i'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise,

Now, now i'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise,
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!

You are never far away from me,
When we part i hold your memories
When day has flown . . .
And through the lonely night,
I'm not alone!

Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
Everyone is sayin' you don't love me
Say it isn't so!

Everywhere i go
Everyone i know
Whispers that you're growin' tired of me
Say it isn't so!

People say that you
Found somebody new
And it won't be long before you leave me
Say it isn't true!

Say that everything is still ok
That's all i want to know
And what they're sayin'
Say it isn't so!

< instrumental break >

. . . and it won't be long before you leave me
Say it isn't true!

Say that everything is still ok
That's all i want to know
And what they're sayin'
Say it isn't so!

Thank heaven for little girls
You were meant for me
A fellow needs a girl

Sing to me, mr. c., sing to me
The song that i've been waiting to hear,
Just for me, mr. c., just for me,
And everybody else will disappear . . .

Thank heaven for little girls
For little girls get bigger every day!

Thank heaven for little girls
They grow up in the most delightful way!

Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
One day will flash and send you crashin' thru the ceilin'

Thank heaven for little girls
Thank heaven for them all,
No matter where no matter who
For without them, what would little boys do?

< instrumental break >

Thank heaven . . . thank heaven . . .
Thank heaven for little girls!

You were meant for me

I'd love to rest my weary head
On somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
All by myself!

All by myself, in the mornin'
All by myself in the night
I sit alone with a table and a chair
So unhappy there, playin' solitaire

All by myself, i get lonely
Watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head
On somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
All by myself!

< repeat last verse >

I'm gonna sit right down
An' write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you!

I'm gonna write words so sweet
They're gonna knock me off my feet
A lot of kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad i got them

I'm gonna smile and say "i hope you're feelin' better"
And close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down an' write myself a letter
And make believe it came from you!

< instrumental break >

I'm gonna sit right down

And make believe it came

All i do is dream of you
Gigi
The way you look tonight

Sing to me, mr. c., sing to me
The song that i've been waiting to hear,
Just for me, mr. c., just for me,
And everybody else will disappear . . .

All i do is dream of you the whole night through
With the dawn, i still go on, dreamin' of you!

You're every thought, you're every thing
You're every song i ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn an' spring!

And were there more than twenty-four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content, dreamin' away!

When skies are gray, skies are blue
Morning, noon an' night time too
All i do the whole day through is dream of you!

When skies are gray, skies are blue
Morning, noon an' night time too
All i do the whole day through is dream of you!

When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle
Has made you the way you are?

Someday . . . when i'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight!

Oh . . . but you're lovely
With your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight!

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart!

Lovely . . . never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'cause i love you
Just the way you look tonight!

. . . just the way you look
Tonight!

All by myself
I've grown accustomed to her face
So in love

Sing to me, mr. c., sing to me
The song that i've been waiting to hear,
Just for me, mr. c., just for me,
And everybody else will disappear . . .

I'd love to rest my weary head
On somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
All by myself!

All by myself, in the mornin'
All by myself in the night
I sit alone with a table and a chair
So unhappy there, playin' solitaire

All by myself, i get lonely
Watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head
On somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
All by myself!

All by myself, i get lonely
Watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head
On somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older
All by myself!

I've grown accustomed to her face,
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
She whistles night an' noon

Her smiles, her frowns,
Her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in

I was serenely independent
And content, before we met
Surely i could always be that way again, and yet,
I've grown accustomed to her looks
Accustomed to her voice
Accustomed to her face!

Strange dear, but true dear
When i'm close to you dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you am i

Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know darling why?
So in love with you am i

In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy, delirious,
When i knew that you could care!

So taunt me and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours 'till i die
So in love, so in love,
So in love with you, my love, am i
