The Quintessential - Volume 1

Frank loesser / burton lane

Fall in love, tall in love
Says my heart,
It's romance, take a chance
Says my heart
But each time that i'm almost in your arms
This old schoolteacher brain of mine
Keeps bringing in false alarms
Then my head rolls instead and i'm wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So i kiss and run
But the moment we're apart
"oh! you fool, that was love"
Says my heart

Then my head rolls instead and i'm wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So i kiss and run
But the moment we're apart
"oh! you fool, that was love"
Says my heart.

It wasn't the moon, it wasn't the stars
"that was love!"
Says my heart

Edward heyman / paul mann / stephan weiss

They say you have no lips
For a fool such as i
They say you just believe
In hello and goodbye
And they say that the one i admire
Isn't even remotely concerned
And that i'll go on playing with fire
Until i have learned
My heart has been burned

They say i shouldn't dream
Of your face in the moon
They say all of my dreams will be
Nightmares too soon
Let them talk
Let them think what they want to
If it makes them feel happy that way
I know i'll always love you
No matter what they say

Irving taylor / vic mizzy

I'll never fail you
Whatever may be
I'll never tail you
Depend upon me
I'll see them all through
The things you've planned.
But if they fall through
I'll understand,
And when shadows trail you
I'll bring you the sun
I'll never fail you
There's no other one
I'm yours forever
We never will part
I'll never never fail you sweetheart

H. meinardi / hoagy carmichael

There's snowflakes in the sky
And geese are flying high
But it's april in my heart again
The devil got his due
Love's holiday is through
Love and i have made a happy start again
Through leaves lie on the ground
The world just turned around
It isn't fall at all you see
It's spring that i have found

There's frost in central park
At five it's almost dark
What's the difference
When you've heard love's sweet amend
There's snowflakes in the sky
And geese are flying high
But there's april in my heart again

B. green / a. stillman / claude thornhill

Joys that come to others
Seldom come to me
But if i only were aladin
How different things would be
Every time i wish
I wish i had you
Every time i dream
The dream is for two
You're the part within my heart
That beats all day
Seems to say, "i love you"

Everywhere i go
You're all that i see
Wonder if you know
What you mean to me
Wishes would be grand
If only they came true
For every time i wish
I wish i had you

Jack manus / k. upham / l. joy

Forget if you can
Romantic music one magical night
A corner table in dim candle light
A kiss that was heaven for two

Forget if you can
The day we hiked to where nobody knows
The swell spaghetti at tony and joe's
It hasn't been fun without you

Don't you remember
All the silly things we used to do
The way we laughed
When we were photographed
As handsome hat and his ten-timing gal
Why shouldn't we play
More happy moments like we used to spend
They were so perfect
Too perfect to end
Let your heart forget it you can

Sammy lerner / ben oakland

Everybody's laughing
Yes everybody's laughing
They know that you and i are through
And everybody's laughing
I told the world you loved me
And bragged about it proudly
But since they know it's over
They're laughing at me loudly.

People love to linger
So they can point a finger
And tear apart a gal whose heart
Was taken through the wringer
It we could start all over
The laugh might be on them
But meanwhile
Everybody's laughing
It we could start all over
The laugh might be on them
But meanwhile
Everybody's laughing

P. gibson / roy ringwald

See the house lights start to blink
And the sky is turnin' pink
Gosh what will the neighbors think
Cause here it is tomorrow again

We could share a perfect day
But we've danced the night away
Guess you'd better hit the hay
Cause here it is tomorrow again

We saw the sunset in the sky
Soon we'll see the dawn
Mother nature's about to rise
And father time is marchin' on

Dit you hear my daddy yell?
We've been leaning on the bell
Kiss me quick and run like sixty
Because here it is tommorrow again

Leo robin / ralph rainger

I'm having myself a time
I mean i'm having what i want
Wanting what i have
Doing what i like
And liking what i do
And i'm having myself a time

I never could save a dime
And so i'm living like a lord
Acting like, a loon
Lying in the sun
And sighing in the moon
And i'm having myself a lime

When i hum songs
They're all dumb songs
Without reason nor rhyme
But i'm certainly in my prime
I friean i'm happy as a bird, flying up above
Walk a little love and get a little love
And i'm having myself a time

But i'm certainly in my prime
I mean i'm happy as a bird, flying up above
Walk a little love and get a little love
And i'm having myself a time
