Out of This World

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
I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

This moment, this minute
And each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by, it will never die

This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
In my dreams, your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night

Like the lights of home before me
Or an angel watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
'Til I'm with you again

I never traveled further North than old Van Courtland Park
And never further South than the aquarium
I've seen the charm of Jersey City, but first, let me remark
I saw it from the Empire State solarium

But I've been putting nickels in the postal savings bank
And when those nickels pile up, we can toddle off in swank
And I don't mean an ordinary cook's tour
I mean a cabin de-luxe tour

Someday, we'll go places
New lands and new faces
The day we quit punching the clock
The future looks pleasant
But at present,
Let's take a walk around the block

I give you my promise
We'll visit St. Thomas
And then, at the Virgins, we'll dock
The Virgins can wait, sir
It grows late, sir
Let's take a walk around the block

Gangway, we'll begin
When our ship comes in
I'll sit on your lap
All over the map

To London in May time
To Venice in play time
To Paris in time for a frock
To Boston in bean time
Darling, meantime,
Let's take a walk around the block

SCATTING INTERLUDE

Gangway, we'll begin
When our ship comes in
You'll sit on my lap
All over the map

We'll send the folks cables,
Accumulate labels,
Buy souvenirs 'til we're in hock
Right now, we are flat in
Old Manhattan
Let's take a walk around the block

Let's take a walk around the block

Say, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Without your love,
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love,
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a Barnum-and-Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

You're out of the woods
You're out of the dark
You're out of the night
Step into the sun
Step into the light

Keep straight ahead for
The most glorious place
On the face
Of the earth or the sky

Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope
March up to that gate
And bid it open

Keep straight ahead for
The most glorious place
On the face
Of the earth or the sky

Hold onto your breath
Hold onto your heart
Hold onto your hope
March up to that gate
And bid it open

Right as the rain
That falls from above
So real, so right
Is our love
It came like the spring
That breaks through the snow
I can't say what it may bring
I only know, I only know

It's right to believe
Whatever gave your eyes this glow,
Whatever gave my heart this song
Can't be wrong
It's right as the rain
That falls from above
And fills the world with the bloom
Of our love

As rain must fall,
And day must dawn,
This love, this love
Must go on

When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane

When all the clouds darken up the skyway,
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane

To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullabye

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday, I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow,
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why, then, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?

Good riddance, goodbye
Every trick of his, you're on to -
But fools will be fools, and where's he gone to?

The road gets rougher
It's lonelier and tougher
With hope, you burn up
Tomorrow, he may turn up
There's just no let-up
The livelong night and day

Ever since this world began,
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man that got away

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 misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time

When he went away,
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away,
Old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

My mama done tol' me
When I was in pigtails,
My mama done tol' me,
"Hon, a man's gonna sweet-talk
And give ya the big eye,
But when the sweet talkin's done,
A man is a two-face,
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night"

Now, the rain's a-fallin',
Hear the train a-callin', "Whooee!"
My mama done tol' me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!"
My mama done tol' me
Ah-whooee-ah-whooee
Ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back
The blues in the night

The evenin' breeze will start
The trees to cryin'
And the moon will hide its light
When you get the blues in the night
Take my word
The mockingbird'll sing
The saddest kind o' song
He knows things are wrong and he's right

Whooee-ooh
Whooee-ooh

From Natchez to Mobile,
From Memphis to St. Joe,
Wherever the four winds blow
I' been in some big towns
I heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave ya to sing
The blues in the night

Whooee-ooh
Whooee-ooh
My mama was right
I know she was right
There's blues in the night
