1. _ Black Moonlight
Lost in the shuffle, i've drifted an' strayed
Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides!
What am i doing up here in a daze
As i gaze at the cold river bed?
Why do i ask myself, "shall i go back
When i seem to be going ahead?"
To black moonlight!
Where everything reflects your colour
Darkness that is endless.
Nights that leave me friendless . . . blue!
Black moonlight!
You make the lights of harlem duller
Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded . . . too!
Why must you send . . .
Ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing . . .
Like shadows of love that are gone?
Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
And darken each promise of dawn?
Black moonlight!
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, i await you, even though i hate you
Black, black moonlight!

2. _ I Concentrate On You
Whenever skies look gray to me,
And trouble begins to brew . . .
Whenever the winter winds become too strong,
I concentrate on you!
When fortune cries nay nay to me,
And people declare you're through,
Whenever the blues become my only song,
I concentrate on you!
On your smile, so sweet, so tender,
When at first my kiss you declined . . .
On the light in your eyes, when you surrender,
And once again our arms intertwine . . .
And so when wise men say to me,
That loves' young dream never comes true,
To prove that even wise men can be wrong,
I concentrate on you!
I concentrate, i concentrate,
On you!

3. _ Over The Rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that i heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true!
Someday i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me!
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't i?
( someday i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me! )
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't i?
If happy little bluebirds fly, beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't i!

4. _ Summertime
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh! your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby, don't you cry . . .
One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
With daddy and mammy standin' by . . .
< instrumental break >
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
With daddy and mammy standin' by . . .
Standing by . . .

5. _ If There Is Someone Lovelier Than You
If there is someone lovelier than you
Then i am blind, a man without a mind
If there is someone lovelier than you
But no, i'm not blind, my eyes have travelled everywhere
In hopes that i might find, a creature half so fair
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful, such beauty can't be true!
< instrumental break >
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful, such beauty can't be true!

6. _ My Heart Stood Still ( 1987 Version )
I took one look at you, that's all i meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk, my lips could move an' talk
And then my heart stood still
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all,
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still!
< instrumental break >
Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands,
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all,
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still!
Hmmm!

7. _ While We're Young ( 1960 Version )
< instrumental opening >
Songs were made to sing,
While we're young!
Every day is spring,
While we're young!
None can refuse,
Time flies so fast!
Too dear to lose,
An' too sweet to last!
Though it may be just . . .
For today!
Share our love we must . . .
While we may!
So blue the skies,
All sweet surprise,
Shines before our eyes,
While we're young!
( none can refuse,
Time flies so fast!
Too dear to lose,
An' too sweet to last! )
Though it may be just . . .
For today!
Share our love we must . . .
While we may!
So blue the skies,
All sweet surprise,
Shines before our eyes,
While we're young!
