Learn To Croon

Frank Sinatra Learn To Croon Lyrics
1.After You've Gone

Writer(s):creamer/layton

After you've gone - and left me crying
After you've gone - there's no denying
You'll feel blue - you're gonna be sad
You've missed the dearest pal that (slickest partner) you ever
had

There'll come a time - don't you forget it
(yeah) there'll come a time - when you're gonna regret it
Some day when you get lonely
Your heart will break like mine - (and) you'll want me only

After you've gone (split) - after you've gone away (flown the
coop)

After we paid - our dues together
You should have stayed - through all that nasty weather
Someday while you're feeling badly
You'll need the only one that loves you so madly

But i'll be gone - yes i'll be gone - to stay
Yeah after i've gone - after i've gone away


2.April In Paris

Writer(s):harburg/duke

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till april in paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in paris, this is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face
I never new my heart could sing
I never missed a warm embrace

Till april in paris
Whom can i run to
What have you done to my heart


3.A Little In Love

We've always thought we were only fooling,
But look at us now at least a little in love.
We've always said that our heads were ruling,
And i don't know how but here we are.
This i'll admit is a fine how-do-you-do,
But this might be i-discover-i'm-for-you.
And just as sure as it's more than fooling.
It's quite a lot more than just a little in love.


4.Believing


5.Blue Moon

Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You know just what i was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone i really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when i looked to the moon it turned to gold

Blue moon
Now i'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when i looked the moon had turned to gold

Blue moon
Now i'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon
Now i'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own


6.Deep Night


Deep night, stars in the sky above
Moonlight, lighting our place of love
Night winds seem to have gone to rest
Two eyes, brightly with love are gleaming
Come to my arms, my darling, my sweetheart, my own
Vow that you'll love me always, be mine alone

Deep night, whispering trees above
Kind night, bringing you nearer, dearer and dearer
Deep night, deep in the arms of love


Come to my arms, my darling, my sweetheart, my own
Vow that you'll love me always, and be mine alone

Deep night, whispering trees above
Kind night, bringing you nearer, dearer and dearer
Deep night, deep in the arms of love


7.East Of The Sun And West Of The Moon

East of the sun and west of the moon,
We'll build a dream house so lovely
Near to the sun in a day, near to the moon at night,
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Living our love in memory
Just you and i, forever and a day,
Love will not die, we'll keep it that way,
Up among the stars we'll find
A harmony of life, too lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon, dear,
East of the sun and west of the moon.


8.How Come You Do Me Like You Do

Mc: jo stafford and the pied pipers sing how come you do me like
you do

How come you do me like you do do do?
How come you do me like you do?
Why do you try to make me feel so blue?
I've done nothing to you.
Do me right or else just let me be.
'cause i can beat you doing what you're doing to me.
How come you do me like you do do do?
How come you do me like you do?


9.How Deep Is The Ocean

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?


10.I'll See You In My Dreams

I'll see you in my dreams, hold you in my dreams,
Someone took you out of my heart and i feel the touch of your
hand,
Lips that once were mine, tender eyes that shine,
They will light my way tonight, i'll see you in my dreams.


11.I'll Take Tallulah

Have you met dolores? she's queen of the forest
Have you met olivia? her i'd gladly give ya
Have you met the queen, the rulah, tallulah
For that gal tallulah i would fight a duela,
I would climb a hillah, i'll paddle to priscilla,
But this is getting sillah, i'm getting lots of thrillah,
tallulah
When she starts to lock on to a man to love she wants to
fricassee
No one doing the hula, can do what tallulah can do to me.
I have met fatima (fatima is a schemma)
I have met marquita (marquita is a cheeta)
I have met jemima, she's a social climba
I have met ophelia, she will double deal ya,
Just one girl is trullah, i'll take tallulah


12.I'm In The Mood For Love

I'm in the mood for love simply because you're near me
Funny but when you're near me, i'm in the mood for love.
Heaven was in your eyes, bright as the stars we're under,
Or is it any wonder, i'm in the mood for love.
Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade,
We'll put our hearts together - now we are one, i'm not afraid.
If there's a cloud above, if it should rain, we'll let it.
But for tonight forget it, i'm in the mood for love.


13.I've Got My Eyes On You

I've got my eyes on you, so best beware where you roam.
I've got my eyes on you, so don't stray too far from home.
Incidentally, i've set my spies on you,
I'm checking all you do, from a to zee.
So, darling, just be wise, keep your eyes on me.


14.Ida Sweet As Apple Cider

(note:frank never sang the intro, only the chorus, after a full
musical intro by tommy dorsey's band)

In the region where the roses always bloom,
Breathing out upon the air their sweet perfume,
Lives a dusky maid i long to call my own,
For, i know my love for her will never die;
When the sun am sinking in dat golden west,
Little robin red breast gone to seek their nests,
And i sneak down to dat place i love the best,
Ever'y evening there along i sigh.

Chorus:ida! sweet as apple cider,
Sweeter than all i know,
Come out! in the silv'ry moonlight,
Of love we'll whisper, so soft and low!
Seems as tho' can't live without you,
Listen, please, honey do!
Ida! i idolize yer
I love you, ida, 'deed i do.


15.It's A Wonderful World

(sung by jo stafford in one of frankie's broadcasts)

It's a wonderful world, i'm just walking on air
Talk of heaven on earth, i've got more than my share
Haven't got a care, happy all day thru
It's a wonderful world, loving wonderful you


16.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.


17.Learn To Croon

Mc: frank sinatra sings the old favorite learn to croon.
Frankie sings:
Learn to croon if you want to win your heart's desire,
Sweet melodies of love inspire romance.
Just whisper 'you're so marvelous' and then when you do,
She'll answer you 'you're so wonderful' and nestle closer to
you.
Learn to croon, you'll eliminate each rival soon,
If you're heading for a sunny honeymoon,
Learn to croon.


18.Let's Fall In Love

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

I have a feeling, it's a feeling i'm concealing - i don't know
why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi
But i adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stalling, i am falling, love is calling - why be shy

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it

Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it, still we can try
To make a go of it

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love


19.Love Is Blue

Blue, blue, my world is blue, blue is my world now i'm without
you
Gray, gray, my life is gray, cold is my heart since you went
away
Red, red, my eyes are red, crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart, i doubted you and now we're
apart
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights i've known, longing for you so lost and
alone


20.Marie

marie, the dawn is breaking
Marie, we'll soon be waiting
To find your heart is aching
And tears will fall as you recall

The moon in all its splendor
Your kiss so very tender
The words will you surrender to me...marie


21.More Than You Know

Writer(s):rose/eliscu/youmans

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I am growing fonder of you

Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't i be glad to take you
Give you the break you need

More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, i love you so
Lately i find, you're on my mind
More than you know

Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, i'll string along
I need you so
Much more than you'll ever know

Loving you the way that i do
There's nothing i can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby i can't live without it

Oh how i'd cry, oh how i'd cry
If you got tired, and said good-bye
More than i'd show
More than you'd ever know


22.My Silent Love

I reach for you like i'd reach for a star,
Worshipping you from afar, living with my silent love;
I'm like a flame dying out in the rain,
Only the ashes remain, smouldering like my silent love;
How i long to tell all the things i have planned,
Still it's wrong to tell, you would not understand,
You'll go along never dreaming i care,
Loving somebody somewhere, leaving me my silent love.


23.Out Of Nowhere

You came to me from out of nowhere, you took my heart and found
it free,
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere,
Make every hour as sweet as a flower to me.
If you should go back to your nowhere. leaving me with just a
memory,
I'll always wait for your return out of nowhere,
Hoping you bring your love to me.


24.Say It Isn't So

Say it isn't so,

Say it isn't so,
Everyone is saying
You don't love me,
Say it isn't so.

Everywhere i go,
Everyone i know,

Whispers that you're growing tired of me,
Say it isn't so.
People say that you,

Found somebody new,
And it won't be long
Before you leave me,
Say it isn't true,

Say that everything is still okay,
That's all i want to know,

And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.


25.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.


26.Stormy Weather

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and i ain't together
Keeps raining 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
Every time
So weary all of the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and then they met me
If she stays away
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
All i do is pray
The lord above will let me
Just walk in that sun again
Can't go on
Everything i had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my gal and i ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time


27.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


28.The Very Thought Of You

The very thought of you and i forget to do
The ordinary things that everyone ought to do.
I'm living in a kind of daydream, i'm happy as a king,
Foolish though it may seem, to me that's everything.
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you,
You'll never know how slow the moments go till i'm near to you.
I see you face in every flower, your eyes in stars above,
It's just the thought of you, the very thought of you, my love.
