1. _ Last Night When We Were Young
Writer(s): arlen/hapburg
Last night when we were young
Love was a star
A song unsung
Life was so new
So real so right
Ages ago last night
Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star
That shone so bright
Ages ago last night
To think that spring had depended
On merely this a look, a kiss
To think that something so splended
Could slip away in one little daybreak
So now let's reminisce and recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
When we were young last night

2. _ What Is This Thing Called Love
Writer(s): cole porter
I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why i ask the lawd in heaven above
What is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now i sit and wonder night and day
Why i love you still?

3. _ Deep In A Dream
I dim all the lights and i sink in my chair.
The smoke from my cigarette climbs through the air.
The walls of my room fade away in the blue,
And i'm deep in a dream of you.
The smoke makes a stairway for you to descend;
You come to my arms, may this bliss never end,
For we love anew just as we used to do
When i'm deep in a dream of you.
Then from the ceiling, sweet music comes stealing;
We glide through a lover's refrain, you're so appealing
That i'm soon revealing my love for you over again.
My cigarette burns me, i wake with a start;
My hand isn't hurt, but there's pain in my heart.
Awake or asleep, ev'ry mem'ry i'll keep
Deep in a dream of you.

4. _ I See Your Face Before Me
Writer(s): dietz/schwartz
In a world of glitter and glow
In a world of tinsel and show
The unreal from the real thing is hard to know
I discovered somebody who
Could be truly worthy and true
Yes, i met my ideal thing when i met you
I see your face before me
Crowding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Always
If you could share the magic
Yes, if you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing i want you so
I can't erase your beautiful face before me

5. _ Mood Indigo
Writer(s): eaton/mills/bigard
You ain't been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While i sit and sigh, "go 'long blues".
Always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.
In the evenin' when lights are low,
I'm so lonesome i could cry.
'cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a soul who's
Bluer than blue can be.
When i get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.

6. _ I'll Be Around
I'll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now
I'll be around from now on.
Your latest love
Can never last,
And when its past,
I'll be around when he's gone
Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Oh drop a line to say you `re feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So i'll be around when he's gone.
Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Oh drop a line to say your feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see
You're meant for me
So i'll be around when he's gone.

7. _ Can't We Be Friends
I took each word she said as gospel truth the way a silly little child would.
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth,
I was no babe in the wild, wild wood.
She didn't mean it,
I should have seen it,
But now it's too late.
I thought i'd found the girl of my dreams,
Now it seems,
This is how the story ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say,
"can't we be friends?"
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong,
Not for long,
I can see the way this ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say,
"can't we be friends?"
Why should i care though she gave me the air,
Why should i cry,
Heave a sigh,
And wonder why,
And wonder why?
I thought i found the gal i could trust,
Watta bust, this is how the story ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say,
"can't we be just friends?"

8. _ Glad To Be Unhappy
Writer(s): rodgers/hart
Look at yourself, if you had a sense of humor
You would laugh to beat the band
Look at yourself, do you still believe the rumor
That romance is simply grand?
Since you took it right on the chin
You have lost that bright toothpaste grin
My mental state is all a-jumble
I sit around and sadly mumble
Fools rush in, so here i am
Very glad to be unhappy
I can't win, but here i am
More than glad to be unhappy
Unrequited love's a bore
And i've got it pretty bad
But for someone you adore
It's a pleasure to be sad
Like a straying baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy
I'm so unhappy
But oh, so glad!

9. _ I'll Never Be The Same
I'll never be the same,
Stars have lost their meaning for me,
I'll never be the same,
Nothing's what it once used to be,
And when the sun-birds that sing tell me it's spring,
I can't believe their song,
Once love was king,
But kings can be wrong,
I'll never be the same,
There is such an ache in my heart.
Never be the same,
Since we're apart.
Though there's a lot that a smile may hide,
I know down deep inside,
I'll never be the same,
Never be the same again.
I'll never be the same,
Never be the same again.

10. _ In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning
Writer(s): mann/hilliard
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all

11. _ When Your Lover Has Gone
Writer(s): 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

12. _ Ill Wind (you're Blowing Me No Good)
Blow ill wind,
Blow away,
Let me rest today.
You're blowin' me no good,
No good.
Go ill wind,
Go away,
Skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood,
And that ain't good
You're only misleadin' the sunshine i'm needin',
Ain't that a shame
It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere,
When love's to blame.
So ill wind, blow away.
Let me rest today.
You're blowin' me no good.
<musical interlude>
So, ill wind, blow away,
Please let me rest today.
You're blowing me no good, no good, no good.

13. _ Dancing On The Ceiling
Writer(s): comden/green/styne
The world is lyrical
Because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though she's some other place, her face i see
At night i creep in bed
And never sleep in bed
But look above in the air
And to my greatest joy, my love is there
She dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
All through the night
I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
But there's my love
Up there above
I whisper, "go away, my lover
It's not fair"
But i'm so grateful to discover
That she's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love

14. _ It Never Entered My Mind
Once i laughed when i heard you saying
That i'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind
And once you told me i was mistaken
That i'd awaken with the sun
And ordered orange juice for one
It never entered my mind
You had what i lack, myself
Now i even have to scratch my back myself
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind
Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd say a lonely prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again
It never entered my mind

15. _ I Get Along Without You Very Well
I get along without you very well,
Of course i do,
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then i recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms.
Of course, i do,
But i get along without you very well.
I've forgotten you just like i should,
Of course i have,
Except to hear your name,
Or someone's laugh that is the same,
But i've forgotten you just like i should.
What a guy, what a fool am i,
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon.
What's in store? should i phone once more?
No, it's best that i stick to my tune.
I get along without you very well,
Of course i do,
Except perhaps in spring,
But i should never think of spring,
For that would surely break my heart in two.

16. _ This Love Of Mine
Writer(s): parker/sanicola/sinatra
This love of mine goes on and on,
Tho' life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, tho' out of sight
It's lonesome thru the day,
But oh! the night.
I cry my heart out it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
The stars that shine,
What's to become of it, this love of mine.
