When life seems full of clouds and rain
And i am filled with naught but pain
Who soothe my thumping, bumping brain
Nobody
When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "here's two bites, go and eat!"?
Nobody
You know that i ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until i get somethin' from somebody, sometime
I don't intend to do nothin for nobody, no time

Jerome kern / otto harbach

Yesterdays
Days are new as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Them gay youth was mine
Truth was mine
Join us be in flame and live
Then sooth was mine
Sad and mired
Glad and mired
For today i'm dreamin' of
Yesterdays

Billie holiday / mal waldron

Where's the love that's made to fill my heart?
Where's the one from whom i'll never part?
First they hurt me, then desert me
I'm left alone, all alone

There's no house that i can call my home
There's no place from which i'll never roam
Town or city, it's a pity
I'm left alone, all alone

Seek and find they always say
But up to now it's not that way
Maybe fate has let him pass me by
Or perhaps we'll meet before i die
Hearts will open, but until then

I'm left alone, all alone

Harold arlen / johnny mercer

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me it was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me cause i'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together and won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money

But i'm with you always, i'm with you rain or shine

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you come rain or come shine
High as a mountain deep as a river come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me it was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me cause i'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together and won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money.

But i'll love you always, i'm with you rain or shine

Rain or shine.

Richard rodgers / lorenz hart

I'm a sentimental sap, that's all,
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'cause you took advantage of me.
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow,
So what's the use, you've cooked my goose
'cause you took advantage of me.
I'm so hot and bothered that i don't know
My elbow from my ear.
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near.
Here i am with all my bridges burned,
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned,
So lock the doors and call me yours
'cause you took advantage of me.

Irving berlin

One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken

Remember the night
The night you said, "i love you"
Remember?

Remember you vowed
By all the stars above you
Remember?

Remember we found a lonely spot
And after i learned to care a lot

You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot
To remember

Isham jones / gus kahn

Why do i do, just as you say
Why must i just, give you your way
Why do i sigh, why don't i try - to forget

It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "i have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall - 'til we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you

Some others i've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, i love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Harry warren / johnny mercer

Jeepers, creepers, where'd ya get those peepers,
Jeepers, creepers, where'd ya get those eyes?
Gosh all, git up, how'd they get so lit up,
Gosh all, git up, how'd they get that size?
Golly gee! when you turn those heaters on
Woe is me, got to put my cheaters on.
Jeepers, creepers, where'd ya get those peepers?
Oh, those weepers, how they hypnotize!
Where'd ya get those eyes?

Charles trenet (jack lawrence)

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
He's watching for me
If i could fly like birds on high
Then straigt to his arms i'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star, it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again i'll go sailing
Some sailing

Kurt weill / ogden nash

Speak low when you speak, love
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever i go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, i wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon

Burton lane / harold adamson

Everything i have is yours
You are part of me
Everything i have is yours
My destiny

I would gladly give the sun to you
If the sun were only mine
I would gladly give the earth to you
And the stars that shine
Everything that i posses
I offer you

Let my dream of happyness
Come through
I'll be happy just to spent my life
Waiting at your backend call
Everything i have is yours
My life
My all

Everything i have is yours
You are part of me
Everything i have is yours
My destiny

I would gladly give the sun to you
If the sun were only mine
I would gladly give the earth to you
And the stars that shine
Everything that i posses
I offer to you

Let my dream of happyness
Come through
I'll be happy just to spent my life
Waiting at your backend call
Everything i have is yours
My life
My all

Jeanne burns / billie holiday

He was lanky and tall as a beanpole
And he wind fanned my heart to a flame
As he looked to the sky
And there's no wonder why
For preacher boy was his name
With his old yaller dog there beside him
And his eyes throwin' sparks in the sun
I grew faint from the heat
From my heart to my feet
When i knew preacher boy was the one
Then he didn't say much
He's the silent kind
But his arms were strong
Just the same as his mind
And my knees grew weak
As i clung to him
My preacher boy, my preacher boy
But he heard the call
Now he's left me
For his faith was stronger than i
And thought we are apart
Yet he's still in my heart
My preacher boy, my preacher boy
My wonderful preacher boy

Ted koehler / harold arlen

Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and i ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time

Life is bare, gloom and mis'ry everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poorself together,
I'm weary all the time
So weary all the time
When he went away the blues walked in and met me.
If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me.

All i do is pray the lord above will let me walk in the sun once more.
Can't go on, ev'ry thing i had is gone
Stormy weather

Since my man and i ain't together,
Keeps rainin' all the time

Clarence williams

All, you old-time queens, from new orleans, who lived in storyville
You sang the blues, try to amuse, here's how they pay the bill
The law step-in and call it sin to have a little fun
The police car has made a stop and storyville is done
Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
- a slo-ow train
Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
- a slo-ow train
They made you close-up they'll never let you back
- won't let you back
Go buy your ticket or else you walk the track

No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
- the cold-old rain
No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
- the cold-old rain
Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill
- your one last thrill
Just say farewell now, farewell to storyville

No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
- the cold-old rain
Just say farewell now, farewell to storyville

Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill
- your one last thrill
Just say farewell now, farewell to storyville

Will hudson / edgar delange / irving mills

It must have been that moonglow
Way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow
That led me straight to you
I still hear you saying
"dear one, hold me fast"
And i start in praying
Oh lord, please let this last
We seemed to float right thru the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'ry where
And now when there's moonglow
Way up in the blue
I always remember that moonglow gave you me

Sigmund romberg / oscar hammerstein ii

You went away
I let you
We broke the ties that bind
I wanted to forget you
And leave the past behind
Still, the magic if the night i met you
Seems to stay forever in my mind

The sky was blue
And high above
The moon was new
And so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover where can you be
You came at last
Love had its day
That day is past
You've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When i remember every little thing
You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road i walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder i am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while i'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When i remember every little thing
You used to do
I grow lonely
Every road i walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder i am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while i'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me

Johnny mercer / richard whiting

You're just to marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous

It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the phrase
That says enough, tells enough
I mean just aren't swell enough

You're much too much, and just too very very
To ever be, to ever be in the dictionary
And so i'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words

Walter gross / jack lawrence

The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and i came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

Victor p. young / bing crosby / ned washington

I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But i don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last i found you
But other loves surround you
And i don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That i'm the lover
Meant for you
And i'd be true
But what's the good of scheming
I'm dreaming
For i don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
Cuz i don't stand
A ghost of a chance
With you

Johnny green / e.y. harburg

Ask the sky above
And ask the earth below
Why i'm so in love
And why i love you so
Couldn't tell you though i tried do
Just why i'm yours
When you went away
You left a glowing spark
Trying to be gay as
Whistling in the dark
I am only what you make me
Come take me
I'm yours

How can i happy
I would be to beg or borrow
For sorrow
With you
Even though i knew
Tomorrow
You'd say we were through
If we drift apart
Then i'll be lost and alone
Though you use my heart
Just for a steppin' stone
How can i help dreaming of you
I love you
I'm yours

How can i happy
I would be to beg or borrow
For sorrow
With you
Even though i knew
Tomorrow
You'd say we were through
If we drift apart
Then i'll be lost and alone
Though you use my heart
Just for a steppin' stone
How can i help dreaming of you
I love you
I'm yours

Love for sale.
Appetizing, young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled. love that's only slighty soiled.
Love for sale.

Who will buy?
Who will like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price for a trip to paradise?
Love for sale.

Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way.
I know every type of love better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love i've been through the mid'l of love.
Old love. new love. every love, but true love.

Love for sale.
Appetizing young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares, follow me and climb the stairs.
Love for sale.

Ruth lowe

I'll never smile again
Until i smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is true
I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know i will never start
To smile again
Until i smile at you
Within my heart
I know i will never start
To smile again
Until i smile at you

Charles warfield / clarence williams

Baby won't you please come home
'cause your daddy's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name

When you left you broke my heart
Because i never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day
You will hear me say:
- "baby come home"

Duke ellington / bob russell

Some-one told some-one and some-one told you
But they wouldn't hurt you, not much,
Since ev'ryone spread the story
With his own little personal touch.

Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head.
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True i've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that i'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart reveal how i feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will.

Herman hupfeld

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say i love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and lovesongs
Never out of date
Hearts filled with passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
Though i will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and lovesongs
Never out of date
Hearts filled with passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
Though i will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Robert allen / al stillman

It's not for me to say you love me
It's not for me to say you'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment i can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
As far as i can see this is heaven
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

Ann ronell

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovely dreams
Lovely summer dreams
Gone and left me here
To wheep my tears along the stream
Sad as i can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say thay love has sinned
To leave my heart a sign
And crying alone
Murmur to the night
Hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
Crying all alone
Wheeping willow tree
Wheeping sympathy
Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me
Listen to me plee
Hear me willow and weep for me
Willow
Willow
Wheep for me

Peter tinturin

What shall i say
When our neighbours want us to come to tea?
They don't know you're not with me
What shall i say?

What shall i say
When the phone rings and someone asks for you
They don't know i ask for you too
What shall i say?

How can i hide the tears inside
How can i face the crowd?
I can,make lips of mine be still
But my heart sighs too loud

I could explain that
You're only gone for a walk to shop
But after the week is up
What shall i say?

Dorothy fields / jimmy mchugh

Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street

Can't you hear a pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But now i'm not afraid
This rover crossed over
If i'd never have a cent
I'd be rich as rockefeller
Going to set my feet
On the sunny side of the street
