1.I Got A Woman Crazy For Me She's Funny That Way
I'm not much to look at, i'm nothing to see
I'm just glad i'm living, lucky to be
I've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
I can't save a dollar, i ain't worth a cent
She doesn't holler, she'd live in a tent
I've got a woman, crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
Though she loves 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've got a woman who's crazy 'bout me
She's funny that way
2.April Played A Fiddle
April played a fiddle
And my heart began to dance
And i was so surprised to find
My arms around romance.
April played a fiddle
And i memorized the tune
And later on, a dream and i
Went singing to the moon.
Then may began to gossip,
And june just winked her eye,
And you should have seen
The know-it-all expression on july.
April played a fiddle
Ah but here's the funny part,
I had to pay the fiddler
With my one and only heart.
3.A Sinner Kissed An Angel
Stars in the sky were dancing
One night perfect for romancing,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
He wanted thrills, she wanted love,
Oh but his sighs were tender
As he begged her to surrender,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
And she believed that it was love.
How was she to know that every lovely vow
Was part of the game he was playing,
But to his surprise he realized
Somehow he meant every word he was saying.
Yes, miracles can happen,
I know 'cause i saw what happened
That night a sinner kissed an angel,
That was the night i fell in love.
4.Dig Down Deep
You better get up and do it now, you better get up, my friend,
and how,
The land that you love the best, is asking you to invest,
With a personal request from mr. morgenthau.
Dig down deep, to buy the bonds that buy the tanks,
Palmers for our fighting yanks, dig down deep.
Dig down deep to buy the bonds that keep us free, supply the
sky, the land and sea,
Dig down deep. put your hand on your gismo, citizen, everybody
must do his part,
It's the easiest piece that the citizen to show the world we
finish what we start,
Dig down deep, the boys are giving all for you, so the least
that you can do,
Is dig down deep.
5.Embraceable You
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you
My heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone
Bring out the gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, i want these arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, i want my arms about you
So don't you be, a naughty baby
Come to papa do
My sweet embraceable you
#############
And this interesting variation is from frank's album
'frank sinatra the voice-the columbia years-disc 1'
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, my silk-and-lace-able you
I'm in love with you, i am and verily so
But you're much too shy, unnecessarily so
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, i want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby, come to papa, do
My sweet embraceable you
I love all the many charms about you
Above all, i want these arms about you
So, don't be a naughty baby, come to papa, do
My sweet embraceable you
6.House I Live In, The
Writer(s):robinson/allen
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
7.In The Blue Of The Evening
In the blue of evening when you appear close to me, dear one,
There in the dusk we'll share a dream reverie,
In the blue of evening while crickets call and stars are
falling,
There 'neath the midnight sky you'll come to me.
In the shadows of the night we'll stand, i'll touch your hand.
And then, softly as your lovely eyes entreat, our lips will meet
again.
In the blue of evening, night winds above whisper i love you,
There will we find romance in the blue of evening.
8.It's Always You
Writer(s):burke/van heusen
Whenever it's early twilight
I watch 'til a star breaks through
Funny, it's not a star i see
It's always you
Whenever i roam through roses
And lately i often do
Funny, it's not a rose i touch
It's always you
If a breeze, caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If i hear, a melody
It's merely the way you sigh
Wherever you are you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time i fall in love
It's always you
9.I Could Make You Care
I could make you care if only you'd let me,
I could make you care, you'd never forget me,
I can't resist, i'd be a fool to try,
I know if once we kissed, i could kiss my heart goodbye.
I knew this was love the moment i found you,
So i planned my life, it's built all around you,
Give me this chance, darling if you only would,
I could make you care, i know i could.
10.I Don't Know Why(I Just Do)
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
11.I Haven't The Time To Be A Millionaire
By a country road wild roses grow that need my special care,
So i haven't time to be a millionaire.
And a cheerful brook on a mountain side, is sad when i'm not
there,
So i haven't time to be a millionaire.
And a friendly gang of robins are peeved when i forget,
That i'm the second tenor in their quartet.
So with all the things i have to do, i'm very much aware
If i wished for wealth it wouldn't be quite fair
'cause i haven't time to be a millionaire.
12.I Should Care
Writer(s):cahn/stordahl/weston
I know i should pity me
But i don't because, you see
I have loved and i have learned
And as far as i'm concerned
I should care
I should go around weeping
I should care
I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough i sleep well
'cept for a dream or two
But, then, i count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can tell 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 should find
Someone as lovely as you
But i should care
And i do
13.I Tried
I tried,
Tried to impress you,
My love,
I gave it all
Each hour ever at your beck and call.
I tried,
Tried to caress you,
My soul,
Filled with desire,
Two arms craving the one i admire.
Your charm was so appealing,
I loved you from the start,
There's still that same old feeling,
Concealed here in my heart.
I tried making you love me,
And you couldn't decide,
But i'll never regret that i tried,
And tried and tried.
14.Moments In The Moonlight
How can you forget moments in the moonlight,
Moments of a love that used to be,
As i stare in space, i still see your face,
And once again i'm lost in your thrilling embrace.
Though the spell is o'er, somewhere in the moonlight,
Mem'ries of your kiss will live anew,
And we'll meet, my love, as i keep dreaming of
Moments in the moonlight with you.
15.Oh! Look At Me Now
I'm not the guy who cared about love
And i'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill i could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I'm a new man better than casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why i'm so proud i'm bustin' my vest
So i'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes i'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
I'm not the guy who cared about love
And i'm not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
And i never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill i could get form your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I'm a new man better than casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I'm so proud i'm bustin' my vest
So i'm the guy who turned out a lover
Yes i'm the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!
16.Put Your Dreams Away
Writer(s):lowe/weiss/mann
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
17.Say It
Say it over and over again,
Over and over again,
Never stop saying you're mine.
Say it,
Ever and ever so sweet,
Ever and ever so sweet just like an old valentine.
When you say i love you,
The same old i love you,
They whisper in stories and plays,
You can change i love you,
The same old i love you,
To oh such a heavenly phrase.
So say it,
Softly and gently and then,
Over and over again,
Never stop saying you're mine.
18.Shadows On The Sand
Writer(s):
There were shadows on the sand closely mingled,
Just two lovers by a moonlit sea,
While i watched i thought of you and i tingled,
For they kissed the way you did with me.
Then the shadows on the sand came much nearer,
And the moon was like a spotlight then,
There was one familiar face showing clearer,
It was you, i couldn't look again.
I felt so sad, there you were with someone new,
I felt so glad, when i found it wasn't true.
For the shadows on the sand seemed to break up,
And i looked around me with a start,
When the pounding of my heart made me wake up.
>from a dream that nearly broke my heart.
19.Shake Down The Stars
Shake down the stars, pull down the clouds,
Turn off the moon, do it soon,
I can't enjoy the night without you,
Shake down the stars.
Dry up the streams, stop all my dreams,
Cut off the breeze, do it please,
I never thought i'd cry about you,
Shake down the stars.
I gave you my arms, my lips, my heart,
My love, my life, my all,
But the best that i had to offer you
I found was all too small.
Crush every rose, hush every pray'r,
Break every vow, do it now,
I know i cannot live without you,
Shake down the stars.
20.Sky Fell Down, The
The sky fell down when i met you,
The green of the countryside has turned to blue,
I had the moon right on my fingertips,
And when first we kissed, there were stars on your lips.
To be with you just made it seem
That walking on snowy clouds was not a dream,
You gave to me all this and heaven too,
When the sky fell down and i met you.
21.Sunshine Of Your Smile, The
Dear, fates will hold no sweeter smile for me
Were you not mine, how dark the world would be
I know no light above that could replace
Love's radiant sunshine in your dear face.
Give me your smile, the love light in your eyes,
I could not hold a fairer paradise
Give me the right to love you all the while,
My world forever, the sunshine of your smile
22.Tell Me At Midnight
Tell me at midnight before the moon starts fading
Tell me at midnight, why go on masquerading.
The sky is so full of stars, and i can hear soft guitars,
The still of the night is clear, the thrill of my life is near,
Kiss me at midnight, let us love now or never,
Tell me at midnight, your heart is mine forever.
23.There's No You
Writer(s):author;
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
For 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
The stormy clouds hover and falling leaves cover
Our favorite nook in the wall
In spring we'll meet again
We'll kiss and recapture
The summertime rapture
We knew
And from that day never more will i say
There's no you
The stormy clouds hover and falling leaves cover
Our favorite nook in the wall
In spring we'll meet again
We'll kiss and recapture
The summertime rapture
We knew
And from that day never more will i say
There's no you
24.There Are Such Things
Writer(s):stanley adams, abel baer, george w meyer
A heart thats true, there are such things
A dream for two, there are such things
Someone to whisper darling youre my guiding star
Not caring what you own but just what you are
A peaceful sky, there are such things
A rainbow high where heaven sings
So have a little faith and trust in what tomorrow brings
Youll reach a star because there are such things
So have a little faith and trust in what tomorrow brings
Youll reach a star because there are such things
25.These Foolish Things
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
26.This Is The Beginning Of The End
This is the beginning of the end,
I can see it in your eyes, in everything you do,
And you're afraid to tell me that we're through
But i can tell by looking at you.
This is the beginning of the end,
You just give yourself away with everything you say,
And though you never told me we must part,
Still i can read the writing in your heart.
Why is it now when i hold your hand
There is some little something that i miss,
What has become of the warmth in your smile,
And where is that little mischief in your goodnight kiss?
This is the beginning of the end,
I can see the thrill is gone, why let it linger on,
Why lie to me and say it isn't so
For when i hold you in my arms i know
That this, this is the beginning of the end.
27.Try A Little Tenderness
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
28.Two In Love
Two in love can face the world together,
Hearts that cuddle up will muddle through,
The world may rock and rumble,
Crowds may groan and grumble,
Thrones may even tumble too,
Darling, two in love can face the stormy weather,
Laugh aloud at every cloud above,
And so we'll show them all what love can do,
For you and i are two in love.
29.When Your Lover Has Gone
Writer(s):swan
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone
30.You're Breaking My Heart All Over Again
You're breaking my heart all over again.
Oh why did we start all over again?
It's too late now to wish i had never met you.
I've loved you much too much to just forget you.
If we ever part all over again,
Will i fall in love, no never again!
You said you'd love me, you made a vow,
Look what you're doing now,
You're breaking my heart all over again.
31.You're Lonely And I'm Lonely
You're lonely and i'm lonely,
So why can't we be lonely together?
The night is young and while it grows older
We can't forget crying on each other's shoulder.
The sky's cloudy 'cause we're lonely,
But soon we'll see a change in the weather,
Two lonely hearts beating as one,
Can be miserable and still have a lot of fun.
32.Yours Is My Heart Alone
Yours is my heart alone
And without you, life holds no charm.
Yours every thought i own,
Our love the theme of every dream.
All that makes life seem worthwhile
Dwells in your eyes and the spell of your smile.
There is no song half so sweet to me
As your voice whispering i love you dear.
