1. _ Moonlight In Vermont
Karl suessdorf / john blackburn
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in vermont
Gentle finger waves
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snowlight in vermont
Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
As they travel each bend in the road
And when people meet, in this romantic setting
They're so hypnotized be the lovely...
Evening summer breeze
Sweet warblings of the meadowlark
Moonlight in vermont

2. _ A Foggy Day
George and ira gershwin
A foggy day, in london town
It had me low, and it had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
The british museum, had lost its charm
How long i wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles, it hadn't past
And suddenly, i saw you standing right there
And in foggy london town, the sun was shining everywhere

3. _ Day In, Day Out
Johnny mercer / rube bloom
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
Come rain - come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then i kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in - day out

4. _ Body And Soul
Johnny w. green / edward heyman / robert sour / frank eyton
You're making me blue
All that you do
Seems unfair
You try not to hear
Turn a deaf ear
To my prayer
It seems you don't want to see
What you are doingg to me
My arms are waiting to caress you
And to my heart they long to press you, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonely
For you i cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you i mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering it's me you're wronging
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you
Body and soul
I can't believe it
It hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance
Are you pretending
Don't say it's the ending
I wish i could have one more change to prove, dear
My life a hell your'e making
You know i'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you
Body and soul
Life's dreary for me
Day's seem to be long as years
I've looked for the sun
But can see none
Through my tears
Your heart must be like a stone
To leave me like this alone
When you could make my life worth living
By taking what i'm set on giving, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonely
For you i cry
For you, dear, only
I tell you i mean it
I'm all for you
Body and soul

5. _ I Wished On The Moon
Dorothy parker / ralph rainger
I wished on the moon
For something i never knew
Wished on the moon
For more than i ever knew
A sweeter rose, a softer sky
On april days that would not dance by
I begged on the stars
To throw me a beam or two
Wished on the stars
And asked for a dream or two
I looked for every loveliness
It all came true
I wished on the moon for you

6. _ Just One Of Those Things
Cole porter
As dorothy parker once said to her boyfriend: "fare thee well!"
As columbus announced when he knew he was bounced: "it was swell, isabelle, swell!
"as abelard said to heloise: "don't forget to drop a line to me, please."
As juliet cried in her romeo's ear: "romeo, why not face the fact, my dear?"
It was just one of those things,
Just one of those crazy flings,
One of those bells that now and then rings,
Just one of those things.
It was just one of those nights,
Just one of those fabulous flights,
A trip to moon on gossamer wings, just one of those things.
If we'd thought a bit of the end of it when we started painting the town,
We'd have been aware that our love affair was too hot not to cool down.
So, goodbye, dear, and amen! here's hoping we meet now and then.
It was great fun, but it was just one of those things!

7. _ Stars Fell On Alabama
Mitchell parish / frank s. perkins
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
And stars fell on alabama 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 like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on alabama last night
[repeat]

8. _ Our Love Is Here To Stay
George and ira gershwin
The more i read the papers
The less i comprehend
The world with all its capers
And how it all will end.
Nothing seems to be lasting.
But that isn't our affair;
We've got something permanent,
I mean in the way we care.
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.

9. _ They Can't Take That Away From Me
George and ira gershwin
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, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still i'll always, always keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
We may never, never 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 danced 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

10. _ Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
George and ira gershwin
You say either
And i say either
You say neither
And i say neither
Either, either, neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off
You like potatoes
And i like potatoes
You like tomatoes
And i like tomatoes
Potatoes, potatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part
Then that might break my heart
So it you like pajarnas and i like pajamas
I'll wear pajamas and give up pajamas
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off
So if you go for oysters
And i go for oysters
I'll order oysters and cancel the oysters
For we know we need each other
So we'd better call the calling off, off
Let's call the whole thing off

11. _ One For My Baby (and One More For The Road)
Johnny mercer / harold arlen
It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em' up joe, i got a little story
I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
You'd never know it, but buddy i'm a kind of poet
And i've got a lot of things i'd like to say
And if i'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes, and joe i know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that i found, it's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

12. _ I Didn't Know What Time It Was
Richard rodgers / lorenz hart
Once i was young --
Yesterday, perhaps --
Danced with jim and paul
And kissed some other chaps.
Once i was young,
But never was naive.
I thought i had a trick or two
Up my imaginary sleeve.
And now i know i was naive.
Refrain
I didn't know what time it was
Then i met you.
Oh, what a lovely time it was,
How sublime it was too!
I didn't know what time it was
You hold my hand.
Warm like the month of may it was,
And i'll say it was grand.
Grand to be alive, to be young,
To be mad, to be yours alone!
Grand tosee your face, feel your touch,
Hear your voice say i'm all your own.
I didn't know what time it was
Live was no prize.
I whanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
And i know what time it is now.
Verse 2
Once i was old --
Twenty years or so --
Rather well preserved:
The wrinkles did't show.
Once i was old,
But not too old for fun.
I used to hunt for little girls
Up my immaginary gun.
But now i ain for only one!
Refrain
I didn't know what time it was
Then i met you.
Oh, what a lovely time it was,
How sublime it was too!
I didn't know what time it was
You hold my hand.
Warm like the month of may it was,
And i'll say it was grand.
Grand to be alive, to be young,
To be mad, to be yours alone!
Grand tosee your face, feel your touch,
Hear your voice say i'm all your own.
I didn't know what time it was
Live was no prize.
I whanted love and here it was
Shining out of your eyes.
I'm wise,
And i know what time it is now.
