Alex rogers / bart a. williams

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.

Richard rodgers / lorenz hart

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love on my own.

Blue moon,
You knew just what i was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Somebody i realy could care for.

And then there suddenly appeared before me,
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "please adore me."
And when i looked,
The moon had turned to gold.

Blue moon,
Now i'm lo longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.

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?

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

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

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

Billie holiday / buster harding

Break down the door
Chop up the floor
Kick out the ceilin'
And anything more
But, baby, please don't do it in here

Kick off the roof
Break out the panes
Smash in the walls
And bust out your brains
But, baby, please don't do it in here

Took me years to get my path straight
I'm gonna keep it that way
Don't intend to have it torn up
Listen to what i say
So take all the money
Steal all the clothes
Shoot off your pistol
Cause anything goes
But, baby, please don't do it in here

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

Jimmy van heusen / johnny mercer

I took a trip on a train
And i thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And i thought about you

Two or three cars arked under the stars
A winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream

And every stop that we made, oh, i thought about you
When i pulled down the shade then i really felt blue
I peeked through the crack, looked at the track
The one going back to you
And what did i do? i thought about you

Matt dennis / tom adair

Black cats creep across my path
Until i'm almost mad
I must have 'roused the devil's wrath
'cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess i'll go thru life kust catchin colds and missin' trains

Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measels and the mumps
And every time i play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess i'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps

Everything happens to me
At first my heart tho't you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But know i just can't fool this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castlesin the air
I've telegraphed and phoned
I send an 'airmail special' too
Your answer was 'goodbye'
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you

Everything happens to me

W. benton overstreet / billy higgins

They say don't change the old for the new
But i've found out that this will never do
When you grow old don't last long
You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone
I loved a man for many years gone by
I thought his love for me would never die
He made some changes that would never do
From now on i'm going to make some changes too
For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be in change in me
My walk will be different, my talk and my name
Nothin' about me is going to be the same
I'm goin' to change my wayof livin'
If that ain't enough
Then i'll change the way that i strut my stuff
'cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made

The say the old time things are the best
That may be very good for all the rest
But i'm goin'g let the old things be
'cause they are certainly not suited for me
There was a time when i thought that way
That's why i'm all alone here today
Since every one these days seeks something new
From now on i'm goin' to seek some new things too
For there's a change in the fashion
Ask the femine folks
Even jack benny has changed jokes
I must make some changes from old to new
I must do things just the same as others do
I'm goin' to change my long, tall daddy for a little short fat
Goin' to change the number where i live at
I must have some lovin' or i'll fade away
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made today

Vernon duke / e. y. harburg

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till april in paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till april in paris
Whom can i run to
What have you done to my heart

Paul coates / bernie hanighen

If you were mine
I could be a ruler of kings
And if you were mine
I could do such wonderful things
I'd say to a star
Stop where you are
Light up my lover's way
And every star above you
Would obey, say
If you were mine
I would live for your love alone
To kneel at your shrine
I would give up all that i own
Yes even my heart
Even my life
I'd trade it all for you
And think i was lucky too
If you were mine

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

Jack lawrence / milton ager

If your heart's in doubt, my love
Worried about my love
Then all your fear
Is only foolish fancy, dear
If i didn't care more than words can say
If i didn't care would i feel this way?
If this isn't love
Then maybe i'm wrong
But why do i lie awake all night
And dream all day long?
If i didn't care would it be the same?
Would every prayer begin and end with just your name?
And would i be sure that this is love beyond compare?
Would all this be true
If i didn't care for you?

Irving berlin

How can i tell you what is in my heart?
How can i measure each and every part?
How can i tell you how much i love you?
How can i measure just how much i do?

How much do i love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How many times a day do i think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would i travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if i ever lost you
How much would i cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

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"

Jack king / dorothy parker

Oh
How am i to know
If its really love
That's found its way here
Oh
How am i to know

Will it linger on

And leave me then
I'll dare not guess
At this strange happiness
But oh

How am i to know
Can it be that love
Has come to stay here

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

Al dubin / harry warren

My love must be a kind of blind love,
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, i wonder if you find love,
An optical illusion, too?
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright cause i only
Have eyes for you.
The moon may be high,
But i can't see a thing in the sky,
Cause i only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden,
Or on a crowded avenue.
You are here, so am i.
Maybe millions of people go by but they all disappear from view,
And i only have eyes for you.

Sammy fain / irving kahal

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But i'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But i'll be seeing you



Sometimes billie sung the next verse
------------------------------------

Cathedral bells were tolling
As our love sang on.
Was it the spell of paris,
Or just the april dawn?
Who knows if we will meet again,
Love with morning chiming sweet again

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
