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

George and ira gershwin

They're writing songs of love, but not for me.
A lucky star's above, but not for me.
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of grey
Than any russain play could guarantee.
I was a fool to fall and get that way;
Heigh-ho! alas! and also, lack-a-day!
Although i can't dismiss the mem'ry of his kiss, i guess he's mot for me.

He's knocking on a door, but not for me.
He'll plan a two by four, but not for me.
I know that love's a game;
I'm puzzled, just the same,
Was i the moth or flame?
I'm all at sea.
It all began so well, but what an end!
This is the time a feller needs a friend,
When ev'ry happy plot ends with the marriage knot,
And there's no knot for me.

Jimmy van heusen / edgar de lange

Darn that dream
I dream each night
You say you love me and hold me tight
But when i awake and you're out of sight
Oh, darn that dream

Darn your lips and darn your eyes
They lift me high above the moonlit sky
Then i tumble out of paradise
Oh, darn that dream

Darn that one track mind of mine
It can't understand that you don't care
Just to change the mood i'm in
I'd welcome a nice old nightmare

Darn that dream
And bless it too
Without that dream i never have you
But it haunts me and it won't come true

Oh, darn that dream

Irving berlin

You can't stop people from talking
And they're talking, my dear
And the things they're saying
Fill my heart with fear
Now i could never believe them
When they say you're untrue
I know that they're mistaken
Still i want to hear it from you

Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
Ev'ryone is saying you don't love me
Say it isn't so

Ev'rywhere i go, ev'ryone i know
Whispers that you're growing 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 ev'rything is still okay
That's all i want to know
And what they're saying
Say it isn't so

Lew brown /sammy stept / charles tobias

Comes rain, put your rubber on your feed
Comes a snow, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes a fire, you know what to do
Blow a tyre, buy another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done

Don't try hiding, cause there isn't any use
You start sliding when you're heart turns on the juice
Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes the ...., you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes the measels...
Comes love, nothing can be done
That all brother, if you've ever bin in love
That all brother, you know where i'm speaking of
Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done

Carl fischer / frankie laine

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

Some day
Some way
We both have a lifetime before us
For parting is not goodbye
We'll be together again.

(repeat from *)

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
