1.Close To You
Written:Jerry Livingston/Carl Lampl/Al Hoffman
Arranger:Alec Wilder
Close to you, I will always stay.
Close to you, though you're far away.
You'll always be near as though you were here by my side.
No matter where - in my dreams I'll find you there
Close to me, sharing you're caress.
Can't you see you're my happiness?
Wherever you go, my heart will go, too.
What can I do?
It only wants to be close to you.
(Musical interlude)
Wherever you go, my heart will go, too.
What can I do?
It only wants to be close to you.
2.You'll Never Know
Lyrics:Mack Gordon
Music:Harry Warren
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Bobby Tucker Singers
Darling, I'm so blue without you
I think about you the live-long day
When you ask me if I'm lonely
Then I only have this to say
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried, I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't I told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
You said good-bye, no stars in the sky refuse to shine
Take it from me, it's no fun to be alone
With moonlight and memories

Lyrics:Johnny Burke
Music:Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Alec Wilder
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Bobby Tucker Singers
Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
I want you near, every day in the year
Oh, won't you tell me when we will meet again
Sunday, Monday or always
If you're satisfied, I'll be at your side
Sunday, Monday or always
No need to tell me now what makes the world go 'round
When at the sight of you, my heart begins to pound and pound
And what am I to do, can't I be with you
Sunday, Monday or always
Always and forever I must be with you
Beginning Sunday and Monday and then forever
Oh, won't you tell me when we will meet again
Sunday, Monday or always
If you're satisfied, I'll be at your side
Sunday, Monday or always
No need to tell me now what makes the world go 'round
When at the sight of you, my heart begins to pound, pound, pound
What am I to do, can't I be with you
Sunday, Monday or always

Arranger:Alec Wilder
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Bobby Tucker Singers
Did I see moonlight and magnolia trees?
Smile again, my darling, if you please
Did I hear music on a warm spring breeze?
Speak again, my darling, if you please
Did I feel cool September rain just then?
If you please, touch my cheek with your hand again
When you are near me I can dream with ease
And I'm yours, my darling, if you please
Did I feel cool September rain just then?
If you please, touch my cheek with your hand again
When you are near me I can dream with ease
And I'm yours, my darling, if you please

Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love
Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
And your eyes mustn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love
Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove
Well, sweetheart, they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way
All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree
And the little ole willow is laughin' at me
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way

Lyrics:Harold Adamson
Music:Jimmy Mchugh
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I couldn't sleep a wink last night
Because we had that silly fight
I thought my heart would break the whole night through
I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry, too
I didn't have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I didn't have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night
8.A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening
Lyrics:Harold Adamson
Music:Jimmy Mchugh
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Some like a night at the movies, some like a dance or a show
Some are content with an evening spent home by the radio
Some like to live for the moment, some like to just reminisce
But whenever I have an evening to spend. just give me one like
this
This is a lovely way to spend an evening. can't think of
anything I'd rather do
This is a lovely way to spend an evening, can't think of anyone
as lovely as you
A casual stroll through a garden. a kiss by a lazy lagoon
Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you
Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you
9.The Music Stopped
Lyrics:Harold Adamson
Music:Jimmy Mchugh
Arranger:Alec Wilder
The music stopped, but we were still dancing
Which goes to show that music has charm
The lights were low so we kept on dancing
I fealt the glow of you in my arms
(bridge)
The band had left the stand, and we were in heaven
Dancing on a cloud, way off in the blue, the music stopped
And people were glancing, but we went on dancing
For we didn't know, because the lights were low, and we were in
love
10.If You Are But A Dream
Written:Moe Jaffe/Jack Fulton/Nat Bonx
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
If you are but a dream
I hope I never waken,
It's more than I could bear
To find that I'm forsaken.
If you're a fantasy
Then I'm content to be
In love with lovely you,
And pray my dream comes true.
I long to kiss you
But I do not dare,
I'm so a-fraid that
You may vanish in the air,
So darling,
If our romance would break up,
I hope I never wake up,
If you are but a dream.
11.Saturday Night(Is The Loneliest Night Of The Week)
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Heine Beau
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don't mind Sunday night at all
'Cause that's the night friends come to call
And Monday to Friday go fast
And another week is past
But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
mmmm... Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
12.There's No You
Lyrics:Tom Adair
Music:Hal Hopper
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
I feel the autumn breeze
It steals 'cross my pillow as soft as a will-o'-the-wisp
And in its song there is sadness because there's no you
The lonely autumn trees
How softly they're sighing 'cause summer is dying
They know that in my heart there's no gladness because there's
no you
The park that we walked in, the garden we talked in
How lonesome they seem in the fall
Stormy clouds hover and falling leaves cover
Our favorite nook in the wall
In spring we'll meet again
We'll kiss and recapture that summertime rapture we knew
And from that day, never more will I say 'There's no you'
In spring we'll meet again
We'll kiss and recapture that summertime rapture we knew
And from that day, never more will I say 'There's no you'
13.White Christmas
Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones we used to know
Where the treetops glisten and kiddies listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear those sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreamin' of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
14.I Dream Of You(More Than You Dream Of Me)
Written:Edna Osser/Marjorie Goetschius
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I dream of you more than you dream I do,
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You're mean to me more than you mean to be,
You just can't seem to see the way I feel.
When I am close to you, the world is far away,
The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to say
I want you so, more than you'll ever know,
More than you dream I do, I dream of you.

Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I begged her, I pleaded, I told her:Baby, come out of your
shell,
I told her:Maybe, you'll find that it's swell,
I argued, I threatened, I said:You can't send me home,
Not like this, then I finally got my kiss.
I begged her, I pleaded, I told her: Baby, come out of your

And I told her: Maybe, you'll find that it's swell,

16.What Makes The Sunset?(From The Film:Anchors Aweigh)
Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
What makes the tide remember to hide and why does it soon rise?
What makes a star fall?
Where does it fall to?
Why does its flight make us stop in the night and wish as we all
do?
And what holds a cloud together?
What makes the sky so blue?
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
Is it my love for you?
And what holds a cloud together?
And what makes the sky so blue?
What makes the sunset?
What makes the moonrise?
Is it my love for you?

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
There are those who can leave love or take it
Love to them is just what they make it
I wish that I were the same
But love is my fav'rite game
I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well-schooled
'Cause I've been burned in the past
And still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
18.Nancy(With The Laughing Face)
Written:Phil Silvers/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Gee what a thrill, each time I kiss her
Believe me, I've got a case
On Nancy, with the laughing face
She takes the winter and makes it summer
And summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughing face
Have you ever heard mission bells ringing
Well she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say hello
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her
She's mighty sweet, and wait till you see her sister
No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughing face

Lyrics:Johannes Brahms
Music:Johannes Brahms
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Lullaby and good night, with roses bestride,
With lilies bedecked. 'neath Baby's sweet bed.
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.
May thou sleep, may thou rest, may thy slumber be blest.
Lullaby and good night, thy mother's delight.
Bright angels around, my darling, shall guard.
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.
They will guide thee from harm, thou art safe in my arms.
(and these are the original words of Brahms in German)
Guten Abend, gut' nacht! Mit Rosen bedacht,
Mit Nlein besteckt schlf unter die Deck'!
Morgen Fr, wenn Got will, wirst du wieder geweckt,
Morgen Fr, wenn Got will, wirst du wieder geweckt,
Guten Abend, gut' nacht! Von Englein bewacht,
Die zeigen in Traum, dir Christkindlein's baum.
Schlaf' num selig und suss, schau' in Traum's Paradies,
Schlaf' num selig und suss, schau' in Traum's Paradies.
(without poetic embellishments, this is the direct translationof
Brahms)
Good evening, good night, covered with roses,
With tiny fingernails hidden, slipping under the blankets,
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.
Tomorrow morning, if God wills, you will wake again.
God evening, good night, watched over by tiny angels,
Who show the little Christ Child's tree in dreams,
Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream's paradise.
Sleep now, blessed and sweet, look at dream's paradise.
20.Ol' Man River
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Here we all work 'long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin' them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin' no rest till the judgment day
Don't look up and don't look down
Ya don't dast make the white boss frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until you're dead
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi
Let me go 'way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That's the old stream that I long to cross
Ol' Man River, that Ol' Man River
He must know somepin', but he don't say nothin'
He just keeps rollin', he keeps on rollin' along
He don't plant taters, and he don't plant cotton
And them what plants 'em is soon forgotten
But Ol' Man River, jest keeps rollin' along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bale
Ya get a little drunk and ya lands in ja-ail
I gets weary and so sick of tryin'
I'm tired of livin', but I'm feared of dyin'
And Ol' Man River, he just keeps rollin' along
21.Stormy Weather
Lyrics:Ted Koehler
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Ken Lane Singers
Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal 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 old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time
When she went away, the blues walked in and they met me
If she stays away, that old rockin' chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can't go on, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time
Keeps rainin' all the time
(When she 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, everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps rainin' all the time, the time
Keeps rainin' all the time

MC: From Hollywood, the Armed Forces Radio Service presents
Personal Album.
Today we bring you The Voice, the voice of Frank Sinatra
assisted by Axel Stordahl and the orchestra.
Now here's Frank.
Frank sings:
The charm of you is comparable to a Christmas tree with toys,
With little girls and boys when first they see the tree.
The thrill of you is comparable the thrill I felt when I first
learned the heart could sigh,
And you were the reason why, and yet, and yet if we two have
never met,
I'd know your grace that warms a face that only the angels get,
and
So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do,
Because they add up to the charm of you.
(musical interlude)
So comparing you with all of these things, is all that I can do.
Because they add up to the charm of you.

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in you
You and you alone
Bring out the Gypsy in me
I love all, the many charms about you
Above all, I want my arms about you
Don't you be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you
24.When Your Lover Has Gone
Lyrics:Einer Swan
Music:Einer Swan
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
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
25.Kiss Me Again
Lyrics:Henry Blossom
Music:Victor Herbert
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Sweet summer breeze, whispering trees
Stars shining softly above
Roses in bloom, wafted perfume
Sleepy birds dreaming of love
Safe in your arms, far from alarms
Daylight shall come but in vain
Tenderly press close to my breast
Kiss me, kiss me again
Safe in your arms, far from alarms
Daylight shall come but in vain
Tenderly press close to my breast
Kiss me, kiss me again
26.She's Funny That Way(I Got A Woman Crazy For Me)
Written:Neil Moret/Richard Whiting
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I'm not much to look at, nothin' to see
Just glad I'm livin' and happy to be
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
She'd never holler, she'd live in a tent
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
Though she'd love to work and slave for me every day
She'd be so much better off if I went away
But why should I leave her, why should I go?
She'd be unhappy without me, I know
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
When I hurt her feelin's once in a while
Her only answer is one little smile
I got a woman, crazy for me
She's funny that way
27.My Melancholy Baby
Lyrics:George A.Norton
Music:Ernie Burnett
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Come to me, my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancies, maybe
You know, honey, I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Just wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
28.Where Or When
Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
When you're awake, the things you think
Come from the dream you dream
Thought has wings, and lots of things
Are seldom what they seem
Sometimes you think you've lived before
All that you live to day
Things you do come back to you
As though they knew the way
Oh the tricks your mind can play
It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when
The clothes you're wearing are the close, you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when
Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And that we laughed before, also loved before
But who knows where or when
29.All The Things You Are
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Ken Lane Singers
You are the promised kiss of Springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel-glow that lights a star
The dearest things that I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine!
(You are the angel-glow that lights a star)
The dearest things that I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine!
30.Mighty Lak' A Rose
Lyrics:Frank L.Stanton
Music:Ethelbert Nevin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows;
Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose!
Lookin' at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue,
Makes you think that heaven is comin' close to you.
When he's there a-sleepin' in his little place,
Think I see the angels looking thro' the lace.
When the dark is falling, when the shadows creep,
Then they come on tip-toe to kiss him in his sleep.
Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows,
Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose!
Lookin' at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue,
Makes you think that heaven is comin' close to you.
31.I Should Care
Written:Sammy Cahn/Axel Stordahl/Paul Weston
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I should care, I should go around weepin'
I should care, I should go without sleepin'
Strangely enough I sleep well, 'cept for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep
So I should care, I should let it upset me
I should care, but it just doesn't get me
Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do
32.Homesick,That's All
Lyrics:Gordon Jenkins
Music:Gordon Jenkins
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I miss the thrill of grammar school romances
I miss the junior prom and graduation dances
The gossip in assembly hall
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the gang that hangs around at Miller's
Devouring chocolate sodas, with those whipped cream fillers
The girl I promised I would call
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the midnight services on Christmas Eve
And the joy when Christmas morning came
I miss the scramble for the wishbone every Sunday
And the big Thanksgiving football game
I miss the times I had to set the table
I miss the rolls my mother made when she was able
The fragrant bonfires in the fall
I'm homesick, that's all
I miss the times I had to set the table
I miss the rolls my mother made when she was able
The fragrant bonfires in the fall
I'm homesick, that's all

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Johnny Mercer
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Get in touch with that sundown fellow
As he tiptoes across the sand
He's got a million kinds of stardust
Pick your fav'rite brand, and
Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things are never as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
34.A Friend Of Yours

Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Ken Lane Singers
Just say that I'm a friend of yours and maybe they won't get
wise,
And if they see us together, I'll brush the dream from my eyes.
I'll tell my heart it mustn't seem the song of remember when,
Just say that I'm a friend of yours that you happen to meet
again.
I'll tell my heart that it mustn't seem the song of remember
when,
Just say that I'm a friend of yours that you happen to meet
again.

Written:Ruth Lowe/Stephen Weiss/Paul Mann
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
(Musical Interlude)
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
36.Over The Rainbow
Lyrics:E.Yip Harburg
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
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 dreamed of
Once in a lullabye
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
far behind me
Where laughter falls like lemon drops away above the chimney
tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
37.You'll Never Walk Alone
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Ken Lane Singers
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll Never Walk Alone,
You'll Never Walk Alone.

We'd, we'd like to dispense with the-uh, it so happens
that we just happen to have a couple of arrangements along with
us.
And, uh,
Remember, your elders are sitting all around you.
We would like to, uh, do, as one of our encores, a very lovely
song.
This,if we may digress for a minute, is not from a motion
picture
-it is from a show called 'Carousel',
it's a very lovely tune called 'If I Loved You.'
**lyrics:
If I loved you, time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know
If I loved you, words wouldn't come in an easy way
'round in circles I'd go
Longin' to tell you but afraid and shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by
Soon you'd leave me, off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I'd love you
If-I-loved-you

43.Stars In Your Eyes
Written:Gabriel Ruiz/Mort Green
Arranger:Xavier Cugat
I see stars in your eyes when my lips beg your lips to
surrender,
Stars in your eyes when we kissed and you whispered you're mine.
Stars leave the sky but the night is so bright in their
splendor.
Deep in your eyes, lovely stars still continue to shine.
No matter what dawn may bring, no matter what you may say,
There's always one little thing that always gives you away.
Stars in your eyes make me thrill with a thrill, oh so tender,
I realize love is ours by the stars in your eyes.
44.My Shawl
Lyrics:Stanley Adams
Music:Xavier Cugat
Arranger:Xavier Cugat
My shawl, pretty lady, try it on you,
By my shawl, spun in magic, wishes come true.
It's glory, with the story of love dreams, old but new.
My shawl brings a romance, maybe for you.
My shawl, pretty lady, try it on you,
By my shawl, spun in magic, wishes come true.
It's glory, with the story of love dreams, old but new.
My shawl brings a romance, maybe for you.
Try it on you, try it on you, my shawl
45.Someone To Watch Over Me
Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told, 'Seek and ye shall find'
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man some
girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me
46.You Go To My Head
Lyrics:Haven Gillespie
Music:Fred Coots
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my
plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head
You go to my head
47.These Foolish Things(Remind Me Of You)
Lyrics:Holt Marvell
Music:Jack Strachey/Harry Link
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
The smile of Turner and the scent of roses
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes
The song that Crosby sings
These foolish things remind me of you
48.I Don't Know Why(I Just Do)
Lyrics:Roy Turk
Music:Fred Ahlert
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't why, but I do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why, but you do
You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do
You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do
49.The House I Live In(That's America To Me)
Written:Earl Robinson/Lewis Allen
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Intro:
What is America to me
A name, a map, or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me
The house I live in
A plot of earth, a street
The grocer and the butcher
Or the people that I meet
The children in the playground
The faces that I see
All races and religions
That's America to me
The place I work in
The worker by my side
The little town the city
Where my people lived and died
The howdy and the handshake
The air a feeling free
And the right to speak your mind out
That's America to me
The things I see about me
The big things and the small
That little corner newsstand
Or the house a mile tall
The wedding and the churchyard
The laughter and the tears
And the dream that's been a growing
For more than two hundred years
The town I live in
The street, the house, the room
The pavement of the city
Or the garden all in bloom
The church the school the clubhouse
The millions lights I see
But especially the people
- Yes especially the people
That's America to me
50.Day By Day
Written:Sammy Cahn/Paul Weston/Axel Stordahl
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Day by day, I'm falling more in love with you
And day by day, my love seems to grow
There isn't any end to my devotion
It's deeper, dear, by far than any ocean
I find that
Day by day you're making all my dreams come true
So, come what may, I want you to know
I'm yours alone, and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
I'm yours alone, and I'm in love to stay
As we go through the years day by day
51.Nancy(With The Laughing Face)
Written:Phil Silvers/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Gee what a thrill, each time I kiss her
Believe me, I've got a case
On Nancy, with the laughing face
She takes the winter and makes it summer
And summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughing face
Have you ever heard mission bells ringing
Well she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say hello
I swear to goodness, you can't resist her
She's mighty sweet, and wait till you see her sister
No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughing face
52.You Are Too Beautiful
Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
You are too beautiful
my dear, to be true
and I am a fool for beauty
fooled by a feeling
that because I had found you
I could have bound you to me.
You are too beautiful
for one man alone
one lucky fool to be with
when there are other men
with eyes of their own
to see with.
Love does not stand sharing
not if one cares
have you been comparing
my every kiss with theirs?
If on the other hand
I'm faithful to you
it's not from a sense of duty
you are too beautiful
and I am a fool
for beauty.
53.America The Beautiful
Written:Katherine Lee Bates/Samuel Ward
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
For purple moutain majesties above thy fruited plain!
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
(O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years)
(Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears)
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,

Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth.
55.The Moon Was Yellow(And The Night Was Young)
Written:Edgar Leslie/Fred Ahlert
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
The moon was yellow and the night was young
A smile brought us together, a
And I was wond'ring whether
We'd meet again some day.
The moon was yellow and a song was sung,
That vocal inspiration gave me the inclination
To give my heart away!
Her we are. Is our romance to continue?
Will it be my luck to win you?
May I look that far?
Ah! My love is mellow and my hopes are strung,
Around that cupid fellow,
Behold! The moon is yellow,
And the night is young
56.I Only Have Eyes For You
Lyrics:Al Dubin
Music:Harry Warren
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Ken Lane Singers
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, dear
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
57.The Old School Teacher
Lyrics:Willard Robison
Music:Willard Robison
Arranger:Mitch Miller
Where is my old school teacher? I don't remember her name.
With a dunce cap, I was always her feature, I loved her just the
same.
She stood by through my childhood, like small town school
teachers do.
At some little school house here in the wild wood,
They taught men like Lincoln too.
One day I tearfully told her my mother expects me to pass,
Then she let me look over the shoulder of the brightest girl in
the class.
Wish I knew how to reach her, I'd write a letter and say,
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher, I'd be a better
man today.
Wish I knew how to reach her, I'd write a letter and say,
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher, I'd be a better
man today.
58.Just An Old Stone House
Lyrics:Alec Wilder
Music:Alec Wilder
Arranger:Mitch Miller
Where do you live? in a brown-stone or an apartment house, a
thousand feet tall?
Where do you live? in a penthouse? well, to be honest, I don't
envy you at all.
'Cause I have a house, far from the city, it may be my own
fault, but it's awful pretty.
Just an old stone house by a river, with an old dirt road
running by,
There's a tabby cat and a welcome mat, and a blessed sun in the
sky.
Just an old stone house by a river, with a few good friends
dropping in,
There's some big old tree, and a gentle breeze and a little boy
with a grin.
Oh yes, this is the place for me, oh yes, this is the place to
be,
The valley and the flowers, the long peaceful hours, and beauty
for any eye to see.
Just an old stone house by a river, and the door without any
key,
Just a friendly place for a friendly face, just an old stone
house and me.
Just a friendly place for a friendly face, just an old stone
house and me.
59.Full Moon And Empty Arms
Lyrics:Buddy Kaye/Ted Mossman
Music:Sergei Rachmaninoff
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Full moon and empty arms, the moon is there for us to share, but
where are you?
A night like this could weave a memory, and every kiss could
start a dream for two.
Full moon and empty arms, I'll use the magic moon to wish upon,
And next full moon, if my one wish comes true, my empty arms
will be filled with you.
60.Oh! What It Seemed To Be
Written:Frankie Carle/Bennie Benjamin/George David Weiss
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
It was just a neighborhood dance
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a masquerade ball
With costumes and all
'Cause you were at the dance with me
It was just a ride on a train
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a trip to the stars
To Venus and Mars
'Cause you were on the train with me
And when I kissed you, darling
It was more than just a thrill for me
It was the promise, darling
Of the things that fate had willed for me
It was just a wedding in June
That's all that it was
But, oh, what it seemed to be
It was like a royal affair
With everyone there
'Cause you said 'Yes, I do' to me

編曲:Axel Stordahl
I have but one heart, this heart I bring you,
I have but one heart to share with you,
I have but one dream that I can cling to,
You are the one dream I pray comes true.
My darling, until I saw you, I never felt this way,
And nobody else before you, ever has heard me say,
You are my one love, my life I live for you,
I have but one heart to give to you.
(musical interlude)
*Dicimo o mari, facimu l'amore,
*A curi a curi che ci passa,
*Ca u mare parla e na' carezza,
*Ma a tia la brezza, fina murir.
You are my one love, my love I live for you,
I have but one heart to give to you.
*Not Italian, not Sicilian, but Neapolitan, the free translation
of which is:
Let us tell the sea that we are making love,
Heart to heart till the end of time,
Because the sea whispers and caresses us,
So does the breeze till the time we die.

Lyrics:Ned Washington/Bing Crosby
Music:Victor Young
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
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 had 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 know I must be dreaming
'cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
What's the good of scheming? I know I must be dreaming
'cause I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Why shouldn't I take a chance when romance passes by?
Why shouldn't I know of love?
Why wait around when each age has a sage who has sung
That upon this earth love is all that is really worth thinking
of?
It must be fun, lots of fun
To be sure when day is done
That the hour is coming when you'll be kissed
And then you'll be kissed again
All debutantes say it's good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Seems to give it a try
So why shouldn't I?
All debutantes say it's good
And every star out in far Hollywood
Seems to give it a try
So why shouldn't I?
64.Try A Little Tenderness
Written:Harry Woods/Reg Conolly/Jimmy Campbell
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
INTRO:
In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, and a kiss
When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be if he'll just realize
She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness
She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them, try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care
But a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness

And then I understand, mm mm mm mm.
Her eyes afire with one desire,
then a heavenly kiss;

And then she dims the light, mm mm mm mm.
And then she holds me tight, mm mm mm mm.
Her kiss, each fond caress,
they lead the way to happiness.
She takes me to Paradise.

All through the day I dream about the night
I dream about the night here with you
All through the day I wish away the time
Until the time when I'm here with you
Down falls the sun, I run to meet you
The evening mist melts away
Down smiles the moon and soon your lips recall
The kiss I dreamed of all through the day
Down falls the sun, I run to meet you
The evening mist melts away
Down smiles the moon and soon your lips recall
The kiss I dreamed of all through the day

One love will never die as long as I live,
One love will satisfy the stars that I give
One dream that only you inspire

How sweet the way you play upon my heart strings,
How strange when you're away, you give my heart wings,
And now you're in my arms and I know why,
You are and always be my one love.
How sweet the way you play upon my heart strings,
How strange when you're away, you give my heart wings,
And now you're in my arms and I know why,
You are and always be my one love.
68.Two Hearts Are Better Than One
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Two heads together are better than one in rainy or sunny weather
The outlook can't be a glum one when there's someone who cares
Just when you're sinking without a straw in sight
Someone starts thinking and everything's all right
Birds of a feather can never be shown that livin' alone is fun
When two hearts are better than one
Two heads together are better than one in rainy or sunny weather
The outlook can't be a glum one when there's someone who cares
Rain in the doorway can have its sunny side
When someone goes your way and her umbrella's wide
Birds of a feather can never be shown that livin' alone is fun
When two hearts are better than one

Written:Bill Carey/Carl Fischer
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Two eyes walking 'round with a baby blue stare, how cute can you
be?
Red lips pouting so that a guy's gotta care, how cute can you
be?
I've seen lassies, the fine looks and chassis, almost every day,
But I've stopped my looking 'cause I know what's cooking, just a
glance away.
Soft hair shining so that the sun blinks his eyes, how cute can
you be?
A voice sweet and low, making temperatures rise, how cute can
you be?
I'll give up my gallivanting, if you'd consent to be
The ready little steady on my family tree, how cute can you be?
She's got some soft hair shining, that the sun blinks his eyes,
hey, how cute can you be?
A voice sweet and low, making temperatures rise, how cute can

I'll give up my gallivanting, if you'd consent to be
The ready little steady on my family tree, how cute can you be?
Baby, how cute can you be? Hubba, how cute can you be?

72.Begin The Beguine(From'Jubilee')
Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Frank: A tune from Cole Porter perhaps.
Now there's a guy who writes for keeps.
His tunes not only become hits, they stay hits.
Begin the Beguine was written in 1935,
and it's still very popular.
lyrics:
When they begin the beguine, it brings back the sound of music
so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendor, it brings back a
memory ever green.
I'm with you once more under the stars, and down by the shore an
orchestra's playing
Even the palms seem to be swaying, when they begin the beguine.
To live it again is past all endeavor, except when that tune
clutches my heart,
And there we are, swearing to love forever, and promising never,
never to part.
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
Till clouds come along to disperse the joys we had tasted,
And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
I know but too well what they mean.
So don't let them begin the beguine, let the love that was once
a fire remain an ember;
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember when they
begin the beguine.
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play,
Till the stars that were there before return above you,
Till you whisper to me once more, Darling, I love you!
And we suddenly know what heaven we're in, when they begin the
beguine
When they begin the beguine.

Written:George Tibbles/Ramez Idriss
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
There's something old and something new,
And something borrowed, something blue,
Packed in her suitcase.
I never thought that she would be
A blushing bride but, golly gee,
Just look in her suitcase.
When I asked her if she'd hurry up and answer,
She didn't tell me, she let me guess,
So here we go to Buffalo or maybe Maine or Kokomo,
Here comes the bride, she said yes.
When I asked her if she'd hurry up and please answer,
She didn't tell me, she let me guess,
So here we go to Buffalo or maybe Maine or Kokomo,
Here comes the bride, she didn't say maybe,
Here comes the bride, she said yes.

They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And, with a moon up above, it's wonderful
It's wonderful, so they tell me
I can't recall who said it
I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand
And
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful, wonderful
In every way, so they say
To leave your house some morning
And, without any warning
You're stopping people, shouting that love is grand
And
To hold a girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful
In every way
So they say
75.That Old Black Magic(From'Star Spangled Rhythm')
Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
That old black magic has me in its spell,
That old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine,
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its slide,
Down and down I go,
Round and round I go,
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide.
I should stay away but what can I do,
I hear your name, and I'm aflame,
A flame with such a burning desire,
That only your kiss can put out the fire.
'Cause you're the lover I have waited for,
The mate that fate had me created for,
And every time you lips meet mine,
Darling, down and down I go,
Round and round I go
In that spin of love that I am in,
Under that old black of love.

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin

The girl that I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satins and laces and smell of cologne
Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
'stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten
A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be
Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
'stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'

A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be
77.I Fall In Love With You Every Day
Lyrics:Sam H.Stept
Music:Sam H.Stept
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I fall in love with you every day, the thrill is always new
every day,
The sun may shine, the rain may fall, and icy winds may blow,
You smile at me, and all I see are blossoms in the snow.
I thank my lucky star every day, that you are as you are every
day.
The years may come, the years may go, if we're still here, I'll
say
I fall in love with you every day.
I thank my lucky star every day, that you are as you are every
day.
The years may come, the years may go, if we're still here, I'll
say
I fall in love with you every day.
78.How Deep Is The Ocean(How High Is The Sky)
Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
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?
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?
How high is the sky?
79.Home On The Range
Lyrics:Brewster Higley
Music:Dan Kelley
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
O give me a home where the buffaloes roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Chorus: Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Where the air is so pure and the zephyrs so free
And the breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright
(repeat chorus)
How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars
I stand there amazed & I ask as I gaze
Does their glory exceed that of ours?
(repeat chorus)
80.The Song Is You(From'Music In The Air')
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I hear music when I look at you;
A beautiful theme of ev'ry
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when I touch your hand;
A beautiful melody
From some enchanted land.
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true -
The song is you.
81.Soliloquy
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I wonder what he'll think of me
I guess he'll call me the 'old man'
I guess he'll think I can lick
Ev'ry other feller's father
Well, I can!
I bet that he'll turn out to be
The spittin' image of his dad
But he'll have more common sense
Than his puddin-headed father ever had
I'll teach him to wrassle
And dive through a wave
When we go in the mornin's for our swim
His mother can teach him
The way to behave
But she won't make a sissy out o' him
Not him! Not my boy! Not Bill!
Bill. I will see that he is named after me, I will.
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
And tough as a tree, will Bill!
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you won't see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No pot-bellied, baggy-eyed bully'll toss him around
I don't give a damn what he does
As long as he does what he likes!
He can sit on his tail
Or work on a rail
With a hammer, hammering spikes!
He can ferry a boat on a river
Or peddle a pack on his back
Or work up and down
The streets of a town
With a whip and a horse and a hack
He can haul a scow along a canal
Run a cow around a corral
Or maybe bark for a carousel
Of course it takes talent to do that well
He might be a champ of theheavyweights
Or a feller that sells you glue
Or President of the United States
That'd be all right, too
His mother would like that
But he wouldn't be President unless he wanted to be
Not Bill!
My boy, Bill! He'll be tall
And as tough as a tree, will Bill
Like a tree he'll grow
With his head held high
And his feet planted firm on the ground
And you won't see nobody dare to try
To boss or toss him around!
No fat-bottomed, flabby-faced, pot-bellied, baggy-eyed
bastard'll boss
him around
And I'll be damned if he'll marry the boss' daughter
A skinny-lipped virgin with blood like water
Who'll give him a peck
And call it a kiss
And look in his eyes through a lorgnet
Say, why am I talkin' on like this?
My kid ain't even been born, yet!
I can see him when he's seventeen or so
And startin' to go with a girl
I can give him lots of pointers, very sound
On the way to get 'round any girl
I can tell him ...
Wait a minute!
Could it be?
What the hell!
What if he is a girl?
What would I do with her?
What could I do for her?
A bum with no money!
You can have fun with a son
But you got to be a father to a girl
She mighn't be so bad at that
A kid with ribbons in her hair!
A kind o' neat and petite
Little tin-type of her mother!
What a pair!
I can just hear myself bragging about her!
My little girl
Pink and white
As peaches and cream is she
My little girl
Is half again as bright
As girls are meant to be!
Dozens of boys pursue her
Many a likely lad does what he can to woo her
From her faithful dad
She has a few
Pink and white young fellers of two and three
But my little girl
Gets hungry ev'ry night and she come home to me!
My little girl, my little girl!
I got to get ready before she comes!
I got to make certain that she
Won't be dragged up in slums
With a lot o' bums like me
She's got to be sheltered
And be dressed in the best money can buy!
I never knew how to get money
But, I'll try, by God! I'll try!
I'll go out and make it or steal it
Or take it or die!
82.Somewhere In The Night(From'Three Little Girls In Blue')
Lyrics:Mack Gordon
Music:Josef Myrow
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Somewhere in the night
There must be someone for me
Somewhere in the night
Who knows where somewhere may be
Across the way
Or maybe way beyond the distant star
How I wish I knew
Just where and who you are
Somewhere in a dream
I find her here by my side
Then when I awake
My dream drifts out with the tide
My lonely heart keeps saying to me
'No, this doesn't seem right'
There must be someone
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in a dream
I find her here by my side
Then when I awake
My dream drifts out with the tide
My lonely heart keeps saying to me
'No, this doesn't seem right'
There must be someone
Somewhere in the night

Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Pied Pipers
Could'ya, for an ice cream sundae? Could'ya, for a smile or two?
Would'ya, say along about next Monday, keep a guy from feeling
blue?
Could'ya, for big red apple? Could'ya, for a tootsie roll?
Would'ya, for some Philadelphia truffle, brighten up some lonely
soul?
I don't wanna have the stars in the pocket, or ride a rocket to
the moon.
I just want what I want when I see what I want, and I hope I get
it soon.
Could'ya, for a peaceful valley? Could'ya, for the Zuyder Zee?
Would'ya for a honeymoon in Bali? Could'ya fall in love with me?
Baby, could'ya, would'ya take a chance on romance,
Couldya, for a ripe tomato? Could'ya, for a place that's in?
Would'ya, for a bowl of sweet potato? Could'ya, for a leopard
skin?
Could'ya, for a bright red tulip? Could'ya, for a ferris wheel?
Would'ya for Kentucky plate of juleps? Could'ya, for a home
cooked meal?
I don't wanna have the stars in the pocket, or ride a rocket to
the moon.
I just want what I want when I see what I want, hope I get it
soon.
Could'ya, for a peaceful valley? Could'ya, for the Zuyder Zee?
Would'ya, for a honeymoon in Bali? Would'ya, should'ya, could'ya

Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:George Siravo
Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more
Let me stay, let me stay in your arms
Here am I, begging for only five minutes more
Only five minutes more of your charms
All week long I dreamed about our Saturday date
Don't you know that Sunday morning you can sleep late
Give me five minutes more (Here am I begging for), only five
minutes more
(Let me stay, let me stay)
Let me stay, let me stay (stay) in your arms
85.The Things We Did Last Summer
Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike
The lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The looks we got when we got back
The leaves began to fade like promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
I've tried so to forget, at times I do, and yet
The mem'ry of you lingers like our song
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long
86.You'll Know When It Happens
Written:Carmen Lombardo/J.J.Loeb
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
You'll know when it happens, you won't have to guess,
All at once you'll find your heart is filled with happiness.
You'll know when it happens, love can't be disguised,
All at once the dreams you dreamed will all be realized.
Your eyes will see things that are not really there.
Your lips will say things, things you never would dare.
You'll know when it happens, suddenly you'll say,
'Darling, I'm in love with you,' it happens just that way.
Your eyes will see things that are not really there.
Your lips will say things, things you never would dare.
You'll know when it happens, suddenly you'll say,
'Darling, I'm in love with you,' it happens just that way.
87.This Is The Night
Written:Red Evans/Lewis Berlin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Come to me, come to me, this is the night, our night for
ecstacy,
A nightingale lifts up its voice and trills to the moon above,
Look on the thrills of love here in the night.
Hold me dear, closer dear, this is the night, one night to live
a year,
The wind in the trees heaves a sigh, and whispers 'No more
goodbye,'
Making me vow that I will not let our love die.
Oh my sweet one, my complete one, take my love, this is the
night.
Hold me dear, closer dear, this is the night, one night to live
a year,
The wind in the trees heaves a sigh, and whispers 'No more
goodbye,'
Making me vow that I will not let our love die.
Oh my sweet one, my complete one, take my love, this is the
night.
88.The Coffee Song(They've Got An Awful Lot Of Coffee In Brazil)
Lyrics:Bob Hilliard
Music:Dick Miles
Arranger:Johnny Mandel
Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You can't get cherry soda
'Cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil
No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say no no no
The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
89.Among My Souvenirs(From'The Best Years Of Our Lives')
Lyrics:Edgar Leslie
Music:Horatio Nichols
There's nothing left for me of days that used to be,
I live in memory among my souvenirs.
Some letters tied with blue, photograph or two,
I see a rose from you among my souvenirs.
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest,
And though they do their best to give me consolation,
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs.
(a few bars)
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest,
And though they do their best to give me consolation,
I count them all apart and as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs.
90.I Love You(From'Song Of Norway')
Lyrics:Lane Anderson
Music:Edvard Grieg
I hear you ask if I am yours for keeping,
Shame that a doubt could ever pass your lips,
I say it waking, shall I say it sleeping,
I love your lips, I love your laugh,
I love the tear that's in your dancing eyes.
I love you dear, and there your answer lies.
And should you ask if time has dulled my longing,
Day has the northern star gone coursing south,
If me you doubt, 'tis only you you're wronging,
I loved you then, I love you now,
I love you when the world grows old and dies.
I love you dear, and here your answer lies.
91.September Song(From'Knickerbocker Holiday')
Written:Maxwell Anderson/Kurt Weill
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came
When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring
You court them in song and rhyme
They answer with words and a clover ring
But if you could examine the goods they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And the plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time
Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
92.Blue Skies(From'Blue Skies')
Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long
All the days are hurryin' by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
93.Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom
Now when that twilight steals
I know how the lady in the harbor feels
When I want rain, I get sunny weather
I'm just as blue, blue as the sky
Since love has gone, I can't get myself together
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy
I've got to get a new alibi
I hang around at home, and ask myself: 'Where is she?'
Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry
Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops
Moving on a stream of dreams
My little memories, those precious memories
Remind me of our crazy schemes
Then somebody says, just forget about her
But I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough, I got along without her
Then one day she passed me right by - oh well
I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry

95.Lost In The Stars(From'Lost In The Stars')
Written:Kurt Weill/Maxwell Anderson
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Before Lord God made the sea or the land
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand
And one little star fell alone
Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star in the wind down there
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost no more
Now, a man don't mind if the stars get dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him
So long as the Lord God's watching over him
Keeping track how it all goes on
But I've been walking through the night and the day
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Forgetting his promise and the word he'd say
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
96.Jingle Bells
Written:James S.Pierpont
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/The Ken Lane Singers
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.
A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack! You'll take the lead.
97.Falling In Love With Love(From'The Boys From Syracuse')
Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I weave with brightly colored strings
To keep my mind off other things
So, ladies, let your fingers dance
And keep your hands out of romance
Lovely witches
Let the stitches
Keep your fingers under control
Cut the thread, but leave
The whole heart whole
Merrry maids can sew and sleep
Wives can only sew and weep
Falling in love with love
Is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love
Is playing the fool
Caring too much is juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just
For children in school
I fell in love with love one night
When the mood was full
I was unwise with eyes
Unable to see
I fell in love with love
With love everlasting
But love fell out with me

Close your eyes, my little darling, 'cause it's time to drift

To Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay.
Buy a candy-coated mountain, you have lots of time to play,
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay.
You can take the Toy-Town Trolley and meet the jolly Times
Express,
No one there is melancholy, it's an isle of happiness.
Don't you keep your dreamboat waiting, hope you have a pleasant
stay
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay.

Written:Harold Mott/Arthur Kent/J.Gale
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
We were a wonderful pair, so they tell me,
We had a heaven to share, so they tell me.
Everyone says that we lived in a dream just yesterday,
It's strange how a beautiful scheme can fade away.
Our love was out of a book, so they tell me,
We had that far-away look, so they tell me.
And then heaven tumbled, and now we are through,
How in the world can it be?
I can't tell myself that it's true,
So they tell me.
Our love was out of a book, so they tell me,
We had that far-away look, so they tell me.
And then heaven tumbled, and now we are through,
How in the world can it be?
I can't tell myself that it's true,
So they tell me.
100.There's No Business Like Show Business(From'Annie Get Your Gun')
Written:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Vocal Chorus
There's no business like show business like no business I know
Everything about it is appealing, everything that traffic will
allow
Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing
that extra bow
There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low
Even with a turkey that you know will fold, you may be stranded
out in the cold
Still you wouldn't change it for a sack of gold, let's go on
with the show
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Are secretly unhappy men because
The butcher, the baker, the grocer, the clerk
Get paid for what they do but no applause.
They'd gladly bid their dreary jobs goodbye for anything
theatrical and why?
There's no business like show business and I tell you it's so
Traveling through the country is so thrilling, standing out in
front on opening nights
Smiling as you watch the theater filling, and there's your
billing out there in lights
There's no people like show people, they smile when they are low
Angels come from everywhere with lots of jack, and when you lose
it, there's no attack
Where could you get money that you don't give back? Let's go on
with the show
(There's no business like show business like no business I know)
You get word before the show has started that your favorite
uncle died at dawn
Top of that, your pa and ma have parted, you're broken-hearted,
but you go on
(There's no people like show people, they smile when they are
low)
Yesterday they told you you would not go far, that night you
open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star, let's go on
with the show!!
101.Once Upon A Moonlight Night
Written:Irving Bibo/Sidney Clare
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Once upon a moonlight night
Two hearts blended
Love surrendered
With embracing arms
Remember
Once the dawn came into sight
Ears that listened
Eyes that glistened
Knew its charms
And with our first kiss
Our first tender sigh
A shower of moondust
Fell from the sky
We'll always keep
The love light shining bright
That started
Once upon a lovely moonlight night
And with our first kiss
Our first tender sigh
A shower of moondust
Fell from the sky
We'll always keep
The love light shining bright
That started
Once upon a lovely moonlight night
102.Strange Music(From'Song Of Norway')
Lyrics:Robert B.Wright/George Forrest
Music:Edvard Grieg
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Strange music in my ears,
Only now as you spoke did it start,
Strange music of the sphere,
Could its lovely hum be coming from my heart?
You appear and I hear song sublime,
Song that I'm incapable of,
So dear, let me hold you near,
While we treasure every measure,
So that time can never change
The strange new music of love.
You appear and I hear song sublime,
Song that I'm incapable of,
So dear, let me hold you near,
While we treasure every measure,
So that time can never change
The strange new music of love.

Lyrics:Buddy Bernier
Music:Nat Simon
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat
Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care!
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
I've learned to love forever, come what may
Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care!
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
I'll learn to love forever, come what may
Poinciana!
104.The Music Stopped(From'Higher And Higher')
Lyrics:Harold Adamson
Music:Jimmy Mchugh
Arranger:Alec Wilder
The music stopped, but we were still dancing
Which goes to show that music has charm
The lights were low so we kept on dancing
I fealt the glow of you in my arms
(bridge)
The band had left the stand, and we were in heaven
Dancing on a cloud, way off in the blue, the music stopped
And people were glancing, but we went on dancing
For we didn't know, because the lights were low, and we were in
love
105.Why Shouldn't It Happen To Us?
Written:Mann Holiner/Alberta Nichols
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Never argue with your heart, it isn't smart, it isn't sound,
Love don't know from season, logic, rhyme or reason,
Love can be found in every port.
Love gets around, in short.
It has happened to a cricket in a thicket,
It has happened on a streetcar and a bus,
There has even been a rumor it has happened to a puma,
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
It has happened to the mamma of a lama,
To a pelican and to an octopus,
Since it happened to the swordfish, it no longer is a 'board
fish'
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
It's elusive, profusive, nobody has an exclusive
On love, man, beast or dove,
Take the regal old eagle, the porcupine and the beagle,
Yes the kangaroo all pitch woo,
It happened to a tuna at Laguna,
To a girl named Myrtle and a guy named Gus,
Why a lot of sense come to me by the shores of Isagumi,
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
Oh the busy little hornet doesn't scorn it,
To ignore it really is ridiculous,
It's a ritual in Turkey, motanique in Albuquerque,
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
There's no ration on passion, l'amour is always in fashion,
It wings beggars and kings,
Take the cheetah and eeta, the halibut and the mosquito,
Yes, and billy-goats feel their oats,
Oh it thrills the tiny sparrow to its marrow,
And the armadillo deems it super-plus,
Why our ancient barnyard rooster finds it quite a morale
booster,
Why shouldn't it happen to us?
I had even heard a reindeer whisper 'Please, say that again,
dear,'
Why, oh why, shouldn't it happen to us?
106.Time After Time(From'It Happened In Brooklyn')
Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Time after time, I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be the one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know, the passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
I only know what I know, the passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time, you'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
107.It's The Same Old Dream(From'It Happened In Brooklyn')
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I can see a steeple, surrounded by people -
Oh how real it all starts to seem.
Just as the choir is singing, my alarm starts ringing.
It's the same old dream.
And then my thoughts inspire a scene by the fire,
In a cottage close by a stream.
I know it all by heart now - we're about to part now.
It's the same old dream.
If you but knew
How many times I pretend that I'm with you
I'm sure your heart would unbend.
You'd see me through
Until my dream had a happy ending
And I can picture clearly those things I love dearly -
In the center you reign supreme.
We kiss and I discover I'm a lonesome lover.
It's the same old dream
(Musical Interlude)
We kiss and I discover I'm a lonesome lover.
It's the same old dream.

Don't let us say goodbye

One little kiss won't you try
It breaks my heart to hear you sigh
I'm sorry I made you cry
One little word, one little smile
One little kiss won't you try
It breaks my heart to hear you sigh
I'm sorry I made you cry

Written:Peter I.Tchaikovsky
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boundless arch I see
Spread about above me
O what a distance dear to one
Who loves me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far
From joy and gladness
My senses fail
A burning fire
Devours me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness

Like the folks you meet on
Like to plant my feet on the Brooklyn Bridge
What a lovely view from
Heaven looks at you from the Brooklyn Bridge
I love to listen to the wind through her strings
The song that she sings for the town
I love to look up at the clouds in her hair
She's learned to wear like a crown
If you've been a rover
Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge
Don't let no one tell you
I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge
All the folks in Manhattan are sad
'cause they look at her and wish they had
The good old Brooklyn Bridge
If you've been a rover
Journey's end lies over the Brooklyn Bridge
Don't let no one tell you
I've been tryin' to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge
You'll miss her most when you roam
'cause you'll think of her and think of home
The good old Brooklyn Bridge

I believe, I believe, I believe in wishing wells,
But I also believe in a lot of things, things the daisy tells,
I believe, I believe that a four-leaf clover brings,
Lots of luck, lots of joy, lots of happiness, I believe those
things.
And when it's Christmas time I believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because
I believe, I believe, I believe that dreams come true,
If you wish for a dream by a wishing well,
Don't tell your wish or you'll break the spell,
It may sound nave, but that's what I believe.

Still I get a gal in North and South Dakota.
Oooo, oooo, wish I knew which of my true loves is true.

There ain't no difference in my love, not one iota,
Just wait till they hear about the gal in Minnesota,
It's a situation, partner, that vexes,
Guess I go back to the gal I love in Texas.
I guess I've even lost that gal in Minnesota,
It's a situation, partner, that vexes,
If I had the nerve I could go back to Texas.

And preach the good health view, it's all up to you, it's all up

What good's being wealthy when you can't buy a doctor or a
nurse.

We need vitamins and medicines and beds to spare,
Lots of new equipment to combat disease
A kid whose health is good will have a chance to pass.

Do your state a favor, the task is yours alone.
[Be a real life saver, and chance is that you will save your
own]
Get in there, get yourself someone to help.

Assess and reveal all my love?

And tell them what a swell job they've done
Of raising the one I love.

When we were just a couple of kids?
Well suppose they haven't thought of inviting me too,
See what I'd have missed?
And here's my thanks to you
For making all my love dreams come true.
But darling, to be perfectly frank,

When he's playing with his choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine
She's got a pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer sky
When you see her you're gonna realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine
When it's raining I don't miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie's smile
Just think that I'm the lucky one
Who will lead her down the aisle
Each night how I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When I marry my Lorraine
When it's raining I never miss the sun
'Cause it's in my sweetie smile
Just the think that I'm the lucky one

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Whenever skies look gray to me and trouble begins to brew
Whenever the winter winds become too strong
I concentrate on you
When fortune cries 'Nay, nay' to me
And people declare 'You're through'
Whenever the blues become my only songs
I concentrate on you
On your smile, so sweet, so tender
When at first my kiss you do decline
On the light in your eyes when you surrender
And once again our arms intertwine
And so when wise men say to me
That love's young dream never comes true
To prove that even the wise men can be wrong
I concentrate on you

My love for you is such a revelation.
I could never feel before, kisses were real before,
Heaven was here today and gone tomorrow.
But now I know that love's no mere sensation,
'Cause I'm aglow with joy and adoration.
I worship the sight of you, darling in spite of you,
I'll make you mine.
Every way you're all that I want you to be,
Every day, you seem to be nearer to me, dearer to me.
My love for you is like the great elation
That Shelley knew when he found inspiration.
You can never change it now, 'cause it's immortal,
My love for you.

A small caf? mam'selle
Our rendez-vouz, mam'selle
The violins were warm and sweet and so were you, mam'selle
And as the night danced by
A kiss became a sigh

No heart ever yearned the way that mine does, for you
And yet I know too well
Someday you'll say goodbye
Then violins will cry
And so will I, mam'selle.

Trough years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide

She's everything on earth to me
A great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and I agree
She's everything on earth to me

Lyrics:Alan Jay Lerner
Music:Frederick Loewe
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
This is hard to say, but as I wandered though the lea,
I felt for just a fleeting moment that I suddenly was free
Of being lonely that I close my eyes
And saw the very reason why.
I saw a man with his head bowed low,
His heart had no place to go,
I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh,
There but for you go I.
I saw a man walking by the sea,
Alone with the tide was he.
I looked and I thought as I watched him go by,
There but for you go I.
Lonely men around me, trying not to cry,
Till the day you found me, there among them was I.
I saw a man who had never known
A love that was all his own.
I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky,
There but for you go I.

Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When the bell starts to peal
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling

Almost like being in love
Just like being in love
All the music of life seems to be
Just like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel

Just me for you, and you for me alone.

On weekend vacations, we won't have it known, dear, that we own

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment that you danced by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still
Once again I seemed to feel that old yearning
Then I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
'cause that old feeling is still in my heart

If I had you
I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothin' I couldn't do
If I had you

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you
and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story you oughta know
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feelin' so bad, wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
Could tell you a lot, but you've got 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 got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me
Till it's all talked away
Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your gettin' pretty
anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your
ear
This torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
That long, long road

And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all
Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful
And I'm thinking if you were mine, I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful, I know.

Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
A fellow needs a girl to sit by his side, at the end of a weary
day.
To sit by his side and listen to him talk and agree with the
things he'll say.
A fellow needs a girl to hold in hid arms when the rest of the
world goes wrong,
To hold in his arms and know that she believes that her fellow
is wise and strong.
When things go right, and his job's well done,
He wants to share the prize he's won.
If no one shares and no one cares,
Where is the fun of a job well done? Or a prize you've won?
A fellow needs a home, his own kind of home, but to make this
dream come true,
A fellow needs a girl, his own kind of girl, my kind of girl is
you.
142.So Far(From'Allegro')
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
We have nothing to remember so far, so far,
So far we haven't walked by night and shared the light of a
star.
So far your heart has never fluttered so near, so near
That my own heart alone could hear it.
We haven't gone beyond the very beginning,
We've just begun to know how lucky we are.
So we have nothing to remember so far, so far.
But now I'm face to face with you and now at last we've met,
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget.
(musical interlude)
We haven't gone beyond the very beginning,

So we have nothing to remember so far, so far.
But now I'm face to face with you, and now at last we've met,
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget.
143.It All Came True
Written:Sunny Skylar
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Alvy West/The Little Band
They told me you'd leave me all alone and blue,
And it all came true, yep, it all came true.
They told me you'd grieve me, fall to someone new,
It all came true, it all came true.
They said that someday, you won't love him any more.
And you'll come running right back to my little old shack
And take up where you left before.
They told me you'd love me like you used to do.
It all came true, it all came true.
They told me you'd leave me so all alone and blue,
And it all came true, oh, it's so true.
They told me you'd grieve me, fall for somebody new,
It all came true, so T-R-U.
They said that someday, you won't love him any more.
And you'll come running right back to my little old shack
And take up where you left before.
They told me you'd love me like you used to do.
It all came true, it all came true.
They told me you'd love me like you used to do.
And it all came true.
144.Can't You Just See Yourself?(From'High Button Shoes')
Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:Dick Jones
Can't you just see yourself in a gingham gown,
Little pink ribbons tied in your hair,
Sitting there by my side when we ride through town,
Folks'll turn around, oh how they'll tell.
Can't you just see yourself on a porch with me,
Watching a show that stars give for free.
One little word can do it, so say the word
And we'll have dozens of chicks, a house in the sticks,
Where people are glad to be known as hicks,
Can't you just see yourself in love with me?
Can't you just see yourself on a porch with me,
Watching a show that stars give for free.
One little word can do it, so say the word
And we'll have dozens of chicks, a house in the sticks,
Where people are glad to be known as hicks,
Can't you just see yourself in love with me?

Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
You're my girl the boys all know, you're my girl, I've told them
so.
You should have seen how their faces fell when they were wishing
me well.
They called me a lucky guy, and I couldn't hide a feeling of
pride.
You're my girl, I've chosen you to be mine, my whole life
through.
And if this heart of mine had a voice, you'd hear it second my
choice,
You're what I've waited for, and you're my girl.
The kiss that see me come to call have written your name and my
name on the wall.
It's common gossip everywhere, that you and I have got it bad
for fair.
You're my girl, I've chosen you to be mine my whole life
through,
And if this heart of mine had a voice, you'd hear it second my
choice,
You're what I 've waited for, and you're my girl.
146.All Of Me(From'Meet Danny Wilson')
Written:Seymour Simons/Gerald Marks
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to care
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair
All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me to save
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me
147.I'll Make Up For Ev'rything
Lyrics:Ross Parker
Music:Ross Parker
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I'll make up for everything the world has done to you,
I'll make every little dream you ever dreamed come true.
I will help you to forget you ever shed a tear,
Should dark clouds become a threat, then you'll find me near.
We'll share all the rainy days that fate may have in store,
Laugh a lot and darling, what is more -
We will find the peace of mind that happiness can bring,
'Cause I'll make up for everything.
And we will find the peace of mind that happiness can bring,
'Cause I'll make up for everything.

Written:Robert B.Wright/George Forrest
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Strange music in my ears,
Only now as you spoke did it start,
Strange music of the sphere,
Could its lovely hum be coming from my heart?
You appear and I hear song sublime,
Song that I'm incapable of,
So dear, let me hold you near,
While we treasure every measure,
So that time can never change
The strange new music of love.
You appear and I hear song sublime,
Song that I'm incapable of,
So dear, let me hold you near,
While we treasure every measure,
So that time can never change
The strange new music of love.
149.Laura(From'Laura')
Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:David Raskin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Laura is the face in the misty light
Footsteps that you hear down the hall
The laugh that floats on a summer night
That you can never quite recall
And you see Laura on a train that is passing through
Those eyes, how familiar they seem
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream
She gave your very first kiss to you
That was Laura, but she's only a dream
150.Night And Day(From'Gay Divorcee')
Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
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
151.My Cousin Louella
Written:Jack Manus/Bernard Bierman
Arranger:John Guarnieri
All the boys are buzzing since I introduced my cousin Louella,
Count them by the dozen as they swarm around my cousin Louella.
The way they sigh when she walks by, you'd think she was a movie
queen.
They never saw such charm before, not even on a movie screen.
Like the bees a-buzzing for some honey from my cousin Louella,
Everyone's supposin' he'd be chosen as the fortunate fellow,
But will they shout when they find out my cousin will be leaving
soon.
Louella only came to town to get herself a pretty gown for her
honeymoon.

152.We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye
Lyrics:Harry Woods
Music:Harry Woods
Arranger:John Guarnieri
We thought that love was over, that we were really through,
I said I didn't love her, that we'd begin anew,
And you can all believe me, we sure intended to,
But we just couldn't say goodbye.
The chair and then the sofa, they broke right down and cried,
The curtain started waving for me to come inside.
I tell you confident'a'lly the tears were hard to hide,
And we just couldn't say goodbye.
The clock was striking twelve o'clock, it smiled on us below,
With folded hands, it seemed to say, we'll miss you if you go.
So I went back and kissed her and when I looked around,
The room was singing love songs and dancing up and down.
Now we're both so happy because at last we've found
That we just couldn't say goodbye.

Written:Paul Denniker/Andy Razaf
Arranger:John Guarnieri
S'posin' I should fall in love with you
Do you think that you could love me too?
S'posin' I should hold you and caress you
Would it impress you or, perhaps, distress you?
S'posin' I should say 'For you I yearn'
Would ya think I'm speaking out of turn?
And s'posin' I declare it, would you take my love and share it?
I'm not s'posin', I'm in love with you
S'posin' I should say 'For you I yearn'
Would ya think that I'm speakin' out of turn?
And s'posin' I declare it, would you take my love and share it?

Lyrics:Dick Redmond
Music:Dick Redmond
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Just for now, let's call it romance, just for now, let's take a
chance,
We both know it would seem to be the real thing
That makes the bells ring, but dare we dream?
Just for now, let's not be clever, just for now, let's just be
gay,
And come what may, that certain day will find us somehow
It will be always instead of just for now.
Just for now, let's not be clever, just for now, let's just be

155.None But The Lonely Heart
Written:Peter I.Tchaikovsky
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Heaven's boundless arch I see
Spread about above me
O what a distance dear to one
Who loves me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far
From joy and gladness
My senses fail
A burning fire
Devours me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
156.The Night We Called It A Day
Lyrics:Tom Adair
Music:Matt Dennis
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
There was a moon out in space, but a cloud drifted over its face
You kissed me and went on your way the night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres, like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray, the night we called it a day
Soft through the dark, the hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song, no bluer was he than I
The moon went down stars were gone, but the sun didn't rise with
the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say, the night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say, the night we called it a day
157.The Song Is You(From'Music In The Air')
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I hear music when I look at you;
A beautiful theme of ev'ry
Dream I ever knew.
Down deep in my heart I hear it play.
I feel it start, then melt away.
I hear music when I touch your hand;
A beautiful melody
From some enchanted land.
Down deep in my heart, I hear it say,
Is this the day?
I alone have heard this lovely strain,
I alone have heard this glad refrain:
Must it be forever inside of me,
Why can't I let it go,
Why can't I let you know,
Why can't I let you know the song
My heart would sing?
That beautiful rhapsody
Of love and youth and spring,
The music is sweet,
The words are true -
The song is you.

Lyrics:Irving Berlin
Music:Irving Berlin
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
What'll I do?
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?
What'll I do?
When I am wond'ring who
Is kissing you
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?

Lyrics:Buddy Bernier
Music:Nat Simon
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat
Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care!
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
I've learned to love forever, come what may
Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care!
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
I'll learn to love forever, come what may
Poinciana!

Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I offer you the moon set in a summer sky
That is mine to give, se寸rita.
I offer you the breeze singing a lullaby,
That is mine to give, se寸rita.
I can't bring a golden crown set with pearls and rubies rare,
But I can bring a rose and place it in your hair.
I offer you these things that come from up above,
I give them and my love to you.
I can't bring a golden crown set with pearls and rubies rare,

161.The Music Stopped(From'Higher And Higher')
Lyrics:Harold Adamson
Music:Jimmy Mchugh
Arranger:Alec Wilder
The music stopped, but we were still dancing
Which goes to show that music has charm
The lights were low so we kept on dancing
I fealt the glow of you in my arms
(bridge)
The band had left the stand, and we were in heaven
Dancing on a cloud, way off in the blue, the music stopped
And people were glancing, but we went on dancing
For we didn't know, because the lights were low, and we were in
love

Lyrics:Roy Turk
Music:Fred Ahlert
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, baby, it seems to me
You'd love to see me cryin'
I don't know why I stay home
Each night when you say that you'll phone
You don't, and I'm left alone
Singin' the blues 'n' cryin'
You treat me coldly each day in the year
You always scold me whenever somebody is near
It must be
Great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't 'cause can't you see what you mean to me?
You treat me coldly every day in the year
And you always scold me whenever somebody is near
Gee, it must be
Great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn't 'cause can't you see what you mean to me?
163.Spring Is Here(From'I Married An Angel')
Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Once there was a thing called spring,
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine.
All the lads and girls would sing,
When we sat at little tables and drank May wine.
Now April, May, and June are sadly out of tune,
life has stuck a pin in the balloon.
Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me,
maybe it's because nobody needs me?
Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear! Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because nobody loves me, spring is here, I hear!

Written:Johnny Mercer/Rube Bloom
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And so I come to you my love, my heart above my head
Though I see the danger there
If there's a chance for me, then I don't care
Fools rush in where wise men never go
But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know
When we met, I felt my life begin
So open up your heart and let this fool rush in
165.When You Awake
166.It Never Entered My Mind
Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
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

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Patrick Williams
How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell
I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never never know
It's not that you're attractive
But, oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view
I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time give me sigh
I never had the least notion that
I could fall with so much emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush on you
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage
That we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you

My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longin'
And wondering why it's me you're (ogling)
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
And less I could have one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking

Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel
They're making me feel I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Written:Irving Taylor/Ken Lane
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Everybody falls in love somehow
Something in your kiss just told me
(That) My sometime is now
Everybody finds somebody someplace
There's no telling where love may appear
Something in my heart keeps saying
(That) My someplace is here
If I had it in my power
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charm
Then every minute, every hour
Every boy would find what I've found in your arms
Everybody loves somebody sometime
And although my dream was overdue
Your love made it well worth waiting
For someone like you

Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
Why was I born, why am I livin'?
What do I get, what am I givin'?
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for?
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
Why do I try to draw you near me?
Why do I do I cry? You never hear me
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do?
Why was I born to love you?
Some other versions may include an intro:
Spending these lonesome evenings with nothing to do
But to live in dreams that I make up all by myself
Dreaming that you're beside me, I picture the prettiest stories
Only to wake up all by myself What is the good of me by myself?
181.It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
Written:Richard Storrs Willis
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all gracious
king
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings
unfurl
And still their heavenly music floats, O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing
And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.
O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow
Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.
For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace
their King
And the whole world send back the song which now the angels
sing.
182.O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Lyrics:Traditional
Music:Traditional
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering
love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters
in.
Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us, our lord Emanuel.

May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear those sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreamin' of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I just came back from a lovely trip along the milky way
I stopped off at the north pole to spend the holiday
I called on old dear santa claus to see what i could see
he took me to his workshop and told his plans to me
now santa is a busy man - he has no time to play
he's got millions of stockings to fill on christmas day
you better write your letter now and mail it right away
because he's getting ready - his reindeers and his sleigh
**Lyrics:
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list, And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out! You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

There was a boy...
A very strange enchanted boy.
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea,
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he.
And then one day,
A magic day, he passed my way.
And while we spoke of many things,
Fools and kings,
This he said to me,
'The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.'
'The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return.'

Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:H.B.Barnun
Some enchanted evening you may see a stranger
You may see a stranger across a crowded room
And somehow you know, you know even then
That somewhere you'll see her again and again
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room
And night after night, as strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams
Who can explain it, who can tell you why
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love
When you feel her call you across a crowded room
Then fly to her side and make her your own
Or all through your life you may dream all alone
Once you have found her, never let her go
Once you have found her, never let her go
204.Bali Ha'i
Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Richard Rodgers
Most people live on a lonely island,
lost in the middle of a foggy sea
most people long for another island
one where they know they would like to be.
Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart you'll hear it call you,
'Come away, come away . . .'
Bali Ha'i will whisper,
On the wind of the sea,
'Here am I your special island'
'Come to me, come to me . . .'
Your own special hopes,
Your own special dreams,
Bloom on the hillside,
And shine in the streams . . .
If you try you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea
Here am I your special island
Come to me, come to me . . .
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Bali Ha'i
Someday you'll see me,
Floating in the sunshine,
My head's sticking out from a low flying cloud . . .
You'll hear me call you,
Singing through the sunshine
Sweet and clear as can be . . .
'Come to me, Bali Ha'i'
'Come to me'
'Come to me'
Bali Ha'i . . .
205.The Right Girl For Me
Lyrics:Adolph Green/Betty Comden
Music:Roger Edens
I'll hear heavenly music,
I'll hear bells start to chime,
I'll hear thunder, and I'll be struck with wonder
But I won't have to look a second time.
If her voice is a song, and her walk is a dance,
And if her laugh is warm and free,
If I suddenly seem to be seeing a dream,
She's the right girl for me.
If the glow in her eyes and the light in her smile
Could charm a bird right off a tree,
I'd be charmed as a bird and I'll know in a word,
She's the right girl for me.
She'll have a simple sweet appeal,
That wins my affection.
She'll be the kind who'll make me feel
She needs my protection.
If the sight of her face and the touch of her hand
Can make me happy as can be,
If my heart says 'Come in,
Darling, where have you been?'
She's the right girl for me.
If the sight of her face and the touch of her hand
Can make me happy as can be,
If my heart says 'Come in,
Darling, where have you been?'
She's the right girl for me,
She's the right girl for me.

Written:Harold Archer/Harlan Thompson
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
I love you. I love you.
Is all that I can say.
I love you. I love you.
The same old worlds I'm saying in the same old way.
I love you. I love you.
Three words that are divine.
And now, my dear, I'm waitin' to hear
The words that will make you mine.
Little girl, I love you.
Can't you see I love you.
I love you. Can't you see I love you.
I love you. I love you.
Three words that are divine.
And now, my dear, I'm waitin' to hear
The words that make you mine.
211.It All Depends On You
Written:Lew Henderson/B.G.Desylva/Ray Brown
Arranger:Sy Oliver
Lovers depend on moonlight for a love affair
Babies depend on mothers for their tender care
Flowers depend on sunshine, and the morning dew
Each thing depends on something, and I depend on you
I can be happy, I can be sad
I can be good, I can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can be humble, I can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money, or spend it
Go roght on living, or end it
You're to blama, baby, for what I do
I know that I can be beggar, I can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you
Isn't it sweet to know, dear, you can help me on?
Wouldn't it hurt, to know, dear, all my hopes were gone?
Wouldn't it make you proud, dear, if I made a name?
But if I failed to win, dear, would you want all the blame?
212.Bye Bye Baby
Lyrics:M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone
Music:M.Ciccone/S.Pettibone
This is not a love song
Bye bye baby
I keep on waiting, anticipating
But I can't wait forever
You say you love me
You're thinking of me
But we're never together
Chorus:
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
That's why we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye
Bye bye baby bye bye
It's your turn to cry
This time we have to say goodbye
So say goodbye
You had your chances
All your romances
And now I just don't want you
I know I love you because I hate you
And now I'd rather haunt you
(chorus, repeat)
You're so beautiful
What makes you feel exciting?
What wakes you up inside?
Does it make you feel good to see me cry?
I think it does
That's why it's time to say bye bye
(chorus, repeat)
I don't wanna keep the bright flame
Of your ego going
So I'll just stop blowin' in the wind
To love you is a sin
Adios
Uh, this is not a love song
I'd like to hurt you
What excites you? What turns you on?
What makes you feel good?
Does it make you feel good to see me cry?
I think it does
That's why it's time to say goodbye
Bye bye
The first time and the last time
You can forget about it baby
Forget the rules, forget the fools
Forget your fears, forget my tears
You can forget about it baby, bye bye baby bye bye
You can forget about it baby
'Cause it's the first time and the last time
You'll ever see me cry
You f*cked it up

Lyrics:Joe Marsala
Music:Joe Marsala
Arranger:Billy May
Dont' cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
You've got to realize that this is the windup
Your gonna feel much better once you make your mind up
Dont cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Take a look around and see what your missing
You'd soon forget your troubles if you'd only listen
Dont cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Just turn your big brown eyes in her direction
You'll find the one that loves you has a real affection for you
Don't cry, Joe
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Listen to me, Joe
Let her go
214.Every Man Should Marry
Lyrics:Benny Davis/Abner Silver
Music:Benny Davis/Abner Silver
Every man should marry, every girl should wed,
You will find no truer words ever have been said.
Every man is sentimental, he's just a dreamer at heart,
He needs someone soft and gentle to give his dream a start.
I don't know how to tell you, don't know what to say,
Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Yes, I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Every man should marry, won't you marry me?
Don't know how to tell you, I don't know what to say,
Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Guess I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Every man should marry, won't you marry me?

Every man is sentimental, he's just a dreamer at heart,

I don't know how to tell you, don't know what to say,
Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Yes, I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Every man should marry, won't you marry me?
Don't know how to tell you, I don't know what to say,
Something has come over me, since you came my way.
Guess I'm plain old-fashioned, old-fashioned as can be,
Every man should marry, won't you marry me?

219.That Lucky Old Sun
Lyrics:Haven Gillespie
Music:Beasley Smith
Up in the mornin'
Out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Dear Lord above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Send down that cloud with a silver lining, lift me to Paradise
Show me that river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
220.Mad About You
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And through a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you
I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you
I'm mad about you
And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer?
How much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you
I'm mad about you
And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories
In all our histories, without love
A stone's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And through a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you
I'm lost without you
And though you hold the keys to ruin
Of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you
I'm mad about you

223.Why Remind Me
224.Sorry
Written:Shawn Camp/Wynn Varble/Brice Long
Ooh ooh ooh ooh sorry, ooh ooh ooh ooh sorry
Well I came home from work in the middle of the day
Two hours early, but a little too late
She was coming down the stairs, looking mighty grand
With a big brown suitcase in her hand
I said, 'What's goin' on, baby, what's the deal'
She said, 'I just don't feel like I used to feel'
With the devil's own smile right out of the blue
She said, 'I done went and found myself somebody new'
She said,
Sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
She ruined my life, left me broken hearted
And all she had to say was, 'Sorry'
Well, I laid awake cryin' for many a night
I just couldn't seem to get her off my mind
I went to her, got down on my knees
Said, 'Baby, won't ya please come back to me'
She said,
Sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
She ruined my life, left me broken hearted
And all she had to say was, 'Sorry'
Well, time went by and my poor heart healed
I found me a woman who's love is real
Man she's a looker, the apple of my eye
And every head turns when she walks by
Well, we ran into my old flame the other day
It blew my mind what she had to say
She said, 'Hello, baby, well how have you been
I was hopin' maybe we could get together again'
And I said,
Sorry it didn't work out
Sorry, guess I'll see you around
You ruined my life and left me broken hearted
And all you had to say was, 'Sorry'
You said, 'Sorry'

Lyrics:Rick Vito/Billy Burnette
Music:Rick Vito/Billy Burnette
When the sun goes down and the moon shines bright,
honey, if you call my name, I will take away your pain,
I will take good care of you tonight.
Somebody broke your heart, tore your world apart,
but that's all over, it's a brave new day.
Somebody made you cry, took away your pride,
but that's all over, let's be on our way.
When the sun goes down, and the moon shines bright,
in my arms it's safe and warm, I give you shelter from the
storm,
I will take good care of you tonight.
Somebody made you sad, treated you so bad,
but that's all over, i won't let you down.
Well, he was just a fool, wonder why so cruel,
but you'll forget him, when I come around.
When the sun goes down, and the moon rises high,
Honey, open up your door and you won't have to hurt no more,
I will take good care of you tonight.
Well, step out of the shadows, let the night begin,
when you hear me knockin', let me in!
When the sun goes down, and the moon shines bright,
Honey, if you call my name, I will take away your pain,
I will take good care of you tonight.
When the sun goes down, and the moon rises high,
in my arms it's safe and warm, I give you shelter from the
storm,
I will take good care of you tonight.
Hurry, open up your door, and you won't have to hurt no more,
I will take good care of you tonight.
