unknown

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

Rube bloom / ted koehler

Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along
Just you forget about me
Be happy my love

Just say that our little show is over
And so the story ends
Why not call it a day, the sensible way
And we'll remain friends

Look out for yourself
Should be the rule
Just give your heart and your love, to whom ever you love
Don't you be a fool

Baby why stop and cling, to some fading thing
That used to be
So if you can't forget
Don't you worry 'bout me

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

Einar aaron swan

What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air

When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

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

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

Arthur johnson / sam coslow

My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
For i haven't met a gent

So innocent or elegant
As my old flame

I've met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Som who sent me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But i'll never be the same
Untill i discover what became
Of my old flame

I've met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Som who sent me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But i'll never be the same
Untill i discover what became
Of my old flame

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

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

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

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

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

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?

Eddie delange / loise alter

Do you know what is means to miss new orleans
I miss it, each night and day
The longer i stay away
Miss the moist covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds use to sing
And i like to see the lazy mississippi
Are hurrying to spring
The mardy grass memories
Of creool tunes that fill the air
I dream of orleanders in june
And soon i'm wishing that i was there
Do you know what is means to miss new orleans
And there is something more
I miss the one i care for
More than i miss new orleans

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.

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

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

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
