Live In Australia 1959

Writer(s): schwartz/dietz


Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and we're gone

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, i have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What - though love is old
What - though song is old
Through them we can be young

Hear this heart of mine
Wailin' all the time
Dear one, tell me that we're one

Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, i have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark, dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark

one for my baby (from "duets")

It's quarter to three,
There's no one in the place 'cept you and me
So set 'em' up joe
I got a little story i think you oughtta know

We're drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine
Put another nickel in that there machine
I'm feeling so bad
Won't you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

You'd never know it
But buddy i'm a kind of poet
And i've got a lot of things i wanna say
And if i'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's all, all talked away

Well, that's how it goes
And joe i know you're gettin' anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear

But this torch that i found
It's gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

Hey drink up all you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The laugh and the drinks on me

Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My poor old heart ain't gaining any ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here

Angel eyes, that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need i say that my love's mispent
Mispent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all of you people
Order anything you see
And have fun you happy people
The drink and the laughs on me

Pardon me but i got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I got to find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here

Excuse me while i disappear

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you

Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever i go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you

Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things

If we'd thought a bit before the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot not to cool down

So good-bye, dear, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way

Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real

When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may

Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure i'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

Is it an earthquake or simply a shock?
Is it the good turtle soup or merely the mock?
Is it a cocktail, this feeling of joy?
Or is what i feel the real mccoy?

Is it for all time or simply a lark?
Is it granada i see or only asbury park?
Is it a fancy not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long last love?

Is it an earthquake, or simply a shock?

Is it granada i see or only asbury park?
Is it a fancy, not worth thinking of?
Or is it at long long long last love?

Verse:

My story is much to sad to be told
But practically everything leaves me totally cold
The only exception i know is the case
When i'm out on a quiet spree, fighting vainly the old ennui
Then i suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face

Chorus:

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That i get a kick out of you

Some like the perfume from spain
I'm sure that if i took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically too
But i get a kick out of you

( some like the bop-type refrain )
( i'm sure that if, i heard even one riff )
( it would bore me terrifically too )
( but i get a kick out of you )

( some they may go for cocaine )
( i'm sure that if, i took even one sniff )
( it would bore me terrifically too )
( but i get a kick out of you )

I get a kick every time i see you standing there before me
I get a kick though it's clear to see, you obviously do not adore me

I get no kick in a plane
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do
But i get a kick out of you

I could have danced all night, i could have danced all night
And still have danced some more
I could have spread my wings, and done a thousand things
I've never done before

I'll never know what made it so exciting
But all at once my heart took flight
I only know that she, began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced, all night

Writer(s): blackburn/suessdorf


Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in vermont

Gentle finger waves
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snowlight in vermont

Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
As they travel each bend in the road
And when people meet, in this romantic setting
They're so hypnotized be the lovely...

Evening summer breeze
Sweet warblings of the meadowlark
Moonlight in vermont
