The Capitol Years

Frank Sinatra The Capitol Years Lyrics
1.I've Got The World On A String

Written:Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm in love.

I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger.
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.

I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.

I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! Man, this is the life.
Hey, now! I'm so in love.


2.Lean Baby

Lyrics:Roy Alfred/Billy May
Music:Billy May
Arranger:Heinie Beau

My lean baby - tall and thin
Five feet seven - of bones and skin
But when she tells me maybe she loves me
I feel as mellow as a fellow can be

She's so skinny - she's so drawn
When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) she's gone
But when she calls me: 'baby' - I feel fine
To think she's frantically, romantically mine

She's slender, but she's tender
She makes my heart surrender
And every night, when I hold her tight
The feeling is nice - my arms can go around twice

My lean baby - she's so slim
A broomstick's wider - but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me - then I know
I love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go

My lean baby - strange to see
And all that nothing - it belongs to me
And though she may be scrawny - she's OK
Because I wouldn't want her any other way

She's so skinny - she's so drawn
When she stands sideways - you (would) think (that) she's gone
But when she calls me: 'baby' - I feel fine
To think she's frantically, romantically mine

I chased her - and I caught her
Then a diamond ring - I bought her
(Hey) The diamonds shine - the ring is so fine
But here is the twist - she wears it right on her wrist

My lean baby - she's so slim
A broomstick's wider - but not as trim
And when she starts to kiss me - then I know
I love her so, I'll never, ever, let her go

My lean baby - tall and thin...
(do-do-do-do-do,...)


3.I Love You

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.


4.South Of The Border(Down Mexico Way)

Written:Jimmy Kennedy/Michael Carr
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to
play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way

She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way

Then she smiled as she whispered 'manjanna'
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered 'manjanna'
'Cause our tomorrow never came

South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to
pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way


5.From Here To Eternity

Written:Robert Wells/Freddie Karger
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

You vowed your love
From here to eternity
A love so true,
It never would die

You gave your lips
Gave them so willingly
How could I know
Your kiss meant goodbye?

Now I'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...

Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
Will live from here to eternity.

Now I'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...

Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
will live...
From here to eternity.


6.They Can't Take That Away From Me

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Patrick William

There are many many crazy things
That will keep me loving you
And with your permission
May I list a few

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No they can't take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No they can't take that away from me

We may never never meet again, on that bumpy road to love
But I'll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No they can't take that away from me


7.I Get A Kick Out Of You

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
The exception I know is the case
When I'm out on a quiet spree,
Fighting vainly the old ennui,
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.

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

Some, they may go for cocaine.
I'm sure that if I took even one sniff
It would bore me terrifically, too.
Yet I get a kick out of you.

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

I get no kick in a plane.
Flying too high with some gal in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do.
Yet I get a kick - um you give me a boot - I get a kick out of
you.


8.Young At Heart

Written:Johnny Richards/Carolyn Leigh
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart

You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way

Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on Earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart

And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart

And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart


9.Three Coins In The Fountain

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless

Three hearts it a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome

Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless

Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a Valentine

Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine


10.All Of Me

Written:Seymour Simons/Gerald Marks
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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 lose them.
Take my arms, I'll never use them.

You're good-bye left me with eyes that cry.
How can I get along without you?
You took the part that once was my heart,
So why not, why not take all of me?

All of me, come on, get all of me.
Can't you see I'm just a mess without you?
Take my lips, I want to lose them.
Get a piece of these arms, I'll never use them.

You're good-bye left me with eyes that cry.
How can I ever make it without you?
You know, you've got the part used to be my heart,
So why not, why not take all of me?


11.Taking A Chance On Love

Written:John Latouche/Vernon Duke/Ted Fetter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Here I go again, I hear those trumpets blow again.
All aglow again , takin' a chance on love.
Here I slide again, about to take that ride again.
Starry-eyed again, takin' a chance on love.

I thought that cards were a frame-up, I never would try.
Now I'm taking that game up and the ace of hearts is high.
Things are mending now, I see a rainbow blending now.
We'll have a happy ending now, takin' a chance on love.

Here I slip again, about to take that trip again.
I got that grip again, takin' a chance on love.
Now I prove again that I can make life move again.
Um - I'm in the groove again, takin' a chance on love.

I walk around with a horse shoe, in clover I lie.
And brother rabbit of course you better kiss your ... foot
good-bye.
On that ball again I'm ridin' for a fall again.
I'm gonna give my all again takin' a chance on love.


12.Someone To Watch Over Me

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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


13.What Is This Thing Called Love?

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I was a hum-drum person
Leading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wide
And quickened my hum-drum heart
Love flew in thorugh my window
I was so happy then
But after love had stayed a little while
Love flew out again

What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lawd in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?

You gave me days of sunshine
You gave me nights of cheer
You made my life an enchanted dream
'Til somebody else came near
Somebody else came near you
I felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and day
Why I love you still?


14.In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning

Written:Bob Hilliard/Dave Mann
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world is fast asleep,
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never, ever think of counting sheep.

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss her most of all.

(Musical interlude)

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only she would call,
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss her most of all.


15.Learnin' The Blues

Written:Delores Vicki Silvers
Arranger:Neal Hefti

The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard
it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues

The cigarettes you light - one after another
Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues

When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
You just can't forget her - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the (those)
blues


16.Our Town

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

You will like the folks you meet in our town,
The folks you'll meet on any street in our town.
Pick out any cottage, white or brown.
They're all so appealing, with that 'lived-in' feelin'.

You will like the shady lanes in our town.
The music of the passing trains in our town.
You will lose your heart, I promise you,
In this, our 'two by four' town,
'Welcome' on the door town,
If you'll make it your town, too.

(Musical interlude)

You will lose your heart, I promise you,
In this, our 'two by four' town,
'Welcome' on the door town,
If you'll make it your town, too.


17.Love And Marriage

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary

Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other


18.Love Is The Tender Trap

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap

You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!

Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map

You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map

And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap


19.Weep They Will

Written:Carl Fischer/Bill Carey
Arranger:Nelson Rillde

Weep they will, will the lads down the street
When they find that you're promised to me.
Weep they will, as their heart's lose a beat
At the thought you'll no longer be free.

Oh, smug, am I; warm and snug am I,
When you're close in my arms just like this.
It's so easy to see they're jealous of me.
There's so much love they will miss.

Weep they will, at the sound of the news
That we're seen all over the town.
Eyes will fill, but they still will refuse
To believe you've turned them all down.

I don't blame them, I don't blame them,
They've lost the sweet victory.
And weep they will, oh, weep they will,
When they find you're promised to me.

(Musical interlude)

I don't blame them, I don't blame them,
They've lost the sweet victory.
And weep they will, oh, weep they will,
When they find you're promised to me.


20.I Thought About You

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I took a trip on a train
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you

Two or three cars arked under the stars
A winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream

And every stop that we made, oh, I thought about you
When I pulled down the shade then I really felt blue
I peeked through the crack, looked at the track
The one going back to you
And what did I do? I thought about you


21.You Make Me Feel So Young

Written:Mack Gordon/Josef Myrow
Arranger:Quincy Jones

You make me feel so young
You make me feel like spring has sprung
Every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual

The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide-and-seek
I want to go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon

You and I, are just like a couple of tots
Running across the meadow
Picking up lots of forget-me-nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung

And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cause you make me feel so young


22.Memories Of You

Lyrics:Andy Razaf
Music:Eubie Blake
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Waking skies at sunrise, every sunset, too,
Seems to be bringing me memories of you.
Here and there, everywhere - scenes that we once knew,
And they all just recall memories of you.
How I wish I could forget those happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears.

Your face beams in my dreams, 'spite of all I do.
Everything seems to bring memories of you.
How I wish I could forget those, those happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears.
Your face beams in my dreams, 'spite of all I do, and
Everything seems to bring memories of you.


23.I've Got You Under My Skin

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

I've tried so not to give in
I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
That I've got you under my skin

I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don't you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin


24.Too Marvelous For Words

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Richard Whiting
Arranger:Neal Hefti/Billy May

You're just to marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous

It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the phrase
That says enough, tells enough
I mean just aren't swell enough

You're much too much, and just too very very
To ever be, to ever be in the dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words


25.Don't Like Goodbyes

Written:Harold Arlen/Truman Capote
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Don't like good-byes, tears or sighs.
I'm not too good at leavin' time.
I got no taste for grievin' time. No, no - not me.

You've been my near ones, always my dear ones.
I never thought that I would find
Another love, a different kind, but it came to be.

Well, if you think I'm tellin' you lies,
Go try your luck and look into her eyes.
But remember, you must remember she's mine,
And my world over head has a clear new shine.

Don't want to leave you, sorry to grieve you.
It's travelin' time and I must move on.
Found the girl to lean upon.
And If I could arrange it,
Oh would I care to change it? Not me!

(Musical interlude)

Don't wanna leave you, sorry to grieve you.
It's travelin' time and I must move on.
Found the gal to lean upon.
And If I could arrange it,
Oh would I care to change it? Not me!


26.How Little We Know(How Little It Matters)

Written:Carolyn Leigh/Phillip Springer
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

How little we know
How much to discover
What chemical forces flow
From lover to lover

How little we understand - what touches of that tingle
That sudden explosion - when two tingles intermingle

Who cares to define
What chemistry this is
Who cares with your lips on mine
How ignorant bliss is

So long as you kiss me - (and) the world around us shatters
How little it matters - how little we know
(How little we know, how little we know,...)

Arranger:Nelson Riddle

(Lover, lover)

Hey, jealous lover
You're actin' so strange
Hey, jealous lover
What is makin' you change?

Hey, jealous lover
How wrong can you be?
I'm yours ever-faithful
Just be faithful to me

I am just as steady as that clock on the shelf
Maybe you're accusin' me of what you're doin' yourself

Hey, jealous lover
I'm tellin' you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you

(Hey, jealous lover)
(You're actin' so strange)
(Hey, jealous lover )
(What is makin' you change?)

(Hey, jealous lover)
(How wrong can you be?)
(I'm yours ever-faithful)
(Just be faithful to me)

Could have cheated lots of times but just couldn't do
I was much too busy, baby, bein' faithful to you

Hey, jealous lover
I'm tellin' you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you


There's no one for me, jealous lover, but you


28.You're Sensational

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I've no proof when people say you're more or less aloof,
But you're sensational.
I don't care if you are called 'The Fair Miss Frigidaire',
'Cause you're sensational.

Making love is quite an art.
What you require is the proper squire to fire your heart.

And if you'll say that one fine day you'll let me come to call
We'll have a ball
'Cause you're sensational...
Sensational.
That's all...
That's all...
That's all.

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.


30.Stars Fell On Alabama

Written:Mitchell Parish/Frank Perkins
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
'n' stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
While stars fell on Alabama last night

I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me

My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

We lived our drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fractured 'bama last night

I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me

My heart beat just like a hammer
Arms wound around you tight
While stars fell on Alabama last night


31.I Got Plenty Of Nothing

Lyrics:Ira Gershwin
Music:George Gershwin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me
I got no car, got no mule, I got no misery

Folks with plenty of plenty, they got a lock on the door
Afraid somebody's gonna rob 'em while they're out amakin' more
What for?

I got no lock on the door, that's no way to be
They can steal the rug from the floor, that's OK with me
'cause the things that I prize, like the stars in the skies, are
all free

Say, I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me
I got my gal, got my song, got heaven the whole day long
Got my gal
Got my love
Got my song


I got plenty o'nothin' and nothin's plenty for me
I got my gal, got my song, I got heaven the whole day long
Got my gal
Got my love
Got my song


32.I Wish I Were In Love Again

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

The sleepless nights, the daily fights
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again

The broken dates, the endless waits
The lovely loving and the hateful hates
The conversation with the flying plates
I wish I were in love again

No more pain, no more strain
Now I'm sane, but I would rather be punch-drunk

The pulled out fur of cat and cur
The fine mis-mating of a him and her
I've learned my lesson but I wish I were in love again

The furtive sigh, the blackened eye
The words: 'I'll love you 'til the day I die'
The self-deception that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again

When love congeals it soon reveals
The faint aroma of performing seals
The double-crossing of a pair of heels
I wish I were in love again

No, no more care, no, no despair
Now I'm all there now but I'd rather be punch-drunk

Believe me, sir, I much prefer
The classic battle of a him and her
I don't like quiet and I wish I were in love again
In love again
In love again


33.The Lady Is A Tramp

Lyrics:Lorenz Hart
Music:Richard Rodgers
Arranger:Billy Byers

She gets too hungry, for dinner at eight
She loves the theater, but doesn't come late
She'd never bother, with people she'd hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She loves the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care
She's broke, but it's o'k
She hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

Doesn't like dice games, with sharpies and frauds
Won't go to Harlem, in Lincolns or Fords
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of those broads
That's why the lady is a tramp


34.Night And Day

Lyrics:Cole Porter
Music:Cole Porter
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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


35.The Lonesome Road

Written:Gene Austin/Nathaniel Shilket
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look up, look up and seek your maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn

Weary totin' such a load
Trudgin' down the lonesome road

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before, before you travel on

True love, true love, what have I done
That you should treat me so?
You caused me to walk and talk
Like I never did before

Weary totin' such a load
Trudgin' down that lonesome road

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look up, look up and seek your maker
Before Mr. Gabriel blows his horn

I'm weary of totin' such a heavy load
Trudgin' down that lonesome road

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before, before you travel on

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you decide to travel on
Look down, look down, look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on


36.If I Had You

Written:Reg Connelly/Jimmy Campbell/Ted Shapiro
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you

I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
I could start my life anew
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


I could climb a snow-capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burnin' desert
If I had you by my side

I could be a king uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothin' I couldn't do
If I had you

Baby, if I had you


37.Where Are You?

Written:Jimmy Mchugh/Harold Adamson
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

Where are you
Where have you gone without me
I thought you cared about me

Where are you
Where's my heart
Where is the dream we started
I can't believe we're parted

Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is my happy ending

Where are you
When we said good-bye love
What had we to gain
When I gave you my love
Was it all in vain
All life through
Must I go on pretending
Where is that happy ending

Where are you
Where are you


38.I'm A Fool To Want You

Written:Frank Sinatra/Jack Wolf/Joel Herron
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too

I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known

Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say

Take me back, I love you
...I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along

Without you


39.Witchcraft

Written:Carolyn Leigh/Cy Coleman
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do

'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

When you arouse the need in my
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you


40.Something Wonderful Happens In Summer

Written:John Devries/Joe Bushkin
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Something wonderful happens in summer
When the sky is a heavenly blue
You fall in love - you fall in love
With someone who loves you too

Something wonderful happens in summer
When the moon makes you feel all aglow
You fall in love - you fall in love
You want the whole world to know

You carve initials on a tree
You kiss and exchange a ring
June and July go by
Your heart sings: 'ting-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling'

Something wonderful happens in summer
And it happens to only a few
But when it does - yes when it does
You'll feel wonderful - it happened to you


41.All The Way

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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

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

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

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


42.Chicago

Lyrics:Fred Fisher
Music:Fred Fisher
Arranger:Neal Hefti/Billy May

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday could not shut down

On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things that they never do on Broadway - hey
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, and he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, that's my home town


43.Let's Get Away From It All

Written:Matt Dennis/Tom Adair
Arranger:Billy May

Let's take a boat to Bermuda
Let's take a plane to St. Paul
Let's grab a kayak to Quincy or Nyack
Let's get away from it all

Let's take a trip in a trailer
No need to come back at all
Let's take a powder to Boston for chowder
Let's get away from it all

We'll travel 'round from town to town
We'll visit ev'ry state
I'll repeat 'I love you, sweet'
In all the forty-eight

Let's go again to Niag'ra
This time we'll peek at the Fall
Let's leave our hut, dear
Get out of our rut, dear
Let's get away from it all


We'll travel 'round from town to town
We'll visit ev'ry state
And I'll repeat that 'I love you, sweet'
In all the forty-eight

Let's go again to Niag'ra
This time we'll dig the Fall
Let's leave our hut, dear
Get out of our rut, dear
Let's get away from it all


44.Autumn In New York

Lyrics:Vernon Duke
Music:Vernon Duke
Arranger:Billy May

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


45.Come Fly With Me

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Billy May

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away


Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!


46.Everybody Loves Somebody

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


47.It's The Same Old Dream

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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 a 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 - the 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


48.Put Your Dreams Away

Written:Ruth Lowe/Stephen Weiss/Paul Mann
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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


49.Here Goes

Arranger:Billy May

Here goes - baby here goes
Every worry, every fear goes
Every dull day in the year goes
I'm about to fall in love

Here goes - yes sir, here goes
Every sky that isn't clear goes
Every sigh that's insincere goes
'Cause it's you I'm dreamin' of

Looks like I've been sold out
Can't fight off the charms
I just couldn't hold out
It's cold out of your arms

Here goes - get the rice out
Get the trip to - paradise out
Sweep that stairway - through the airway up above

Here goes - baby here goes
Someone ready for love

Here goes - brush that grin off
Brush that endless - bobby pin off
And the biscuits - that chagrin off
I'm about to fall in love

Here goes - get the fights out
And the quarrel - over nights out
And the patch up - when the lights out
That is all I'm dreaming of

Looks like I've been taken
Shaken off the tree
Looks like you'll be makin'
The bacon just for me

Here goes - get the rice out
Get the trip to - paradise out
Sweep that stairway - through the airway up above

Here goes - here goes
Here goes someone - someone who's really in love


50.Angel Eyes

Written:Earl Brent/Tom Adair/Matt Dennis
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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

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

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

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

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

Excuse me while I disappear


51.Ebb Tide

Lyrics:Carl Sigman/Robert Maxwell
Music:Robert Maxwell
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more

So I rush to your side
Like the oncoming tide
With one burning thought
Will your arms open wide

At last we're face to face
And as we kiss through an embrace
I can tell, I can feel
You are love, you are real
Really mine

In the rain, in the dark, in the sun

Like the tide at its ebb
I'm at peace in the web
Of your arms


52.Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out To Dry

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

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


53.Only The Lonely

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Each place I go only the lonely go
Some little small caf?

The songs I know only the lonely know
Each melody recalls a love that used to be
The dreams I dream only the lonely dream
Of lips as warm as May

That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme
That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care
And you'll recall each fun time
Those picnics at the beach when love was new
It well could be the one time
A hopeless little dream like that comes true

If you find love hang on to each caress
And never let love go
For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness
The heartbreak only the lonely know


54.One For My Baby(And One More For The Road)

Lyrics:Johnny Mercer
Music:Harold Arlen
Arranger:Patrick Williams

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
I think you should know

We're drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad

I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

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

Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin'
Anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear

But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road


55.To Love And Be Loved

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

To love - and be loved
That's what life's - all about
Keeps the stars - coming out
What makes a sad heart sing - the birds take wing

To love - and be loved
That's what living - is for
Makes me want you the more - the more we cling

Let others race - to the moon
Through time and space - to the moon
My goal is greater than this
To reach your lips - to share your kiss

To stay - in your arms
Is the dream - I pursue
To be sheltered - and safe - from the storm
To be cozy - and ever - so warm

And for always - to love
And be loved - by you


56.I Couldn't Care Less

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Balmy breezes are blowing - each star in the sky is glowing
But I couldn't care less
Lovely night birds are winging - and filling the night with
singing
But I couldn't care less

Oh how perfect the setting - but how do I start forgetting
I'm alone where we walked before
For without the warmth of your caress
It's a cold and dreary world - I guess

And I couldn't care less - unless
You could care once more

But I couldn't care less

But I couldn't care less

Oh how perfect the setting - but how do I start forgetting
I'm alone where we walked before
For without the warmth of your caress
It's a cold and dreary world - I guess

And I couldn't care less - unless
You could care once more


57.The Song Is You

Lyrics:Oscar Hammerstein Ii
Music:Jerome Kern
Arranger:Billy May

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.


58.Just In Time

Lyrics:Betty Comden/Adolph Green
Music:Jule Styne
Arranger:Billy May

Just in time, I found you just in time
Before you came, my time was runnin' low
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go
Now you're here and now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubt or fear, I found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely day


Now you are here and now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubt or fear, 'cause I've found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely
Lonely life that lovely
Lonely life that lovely day


59.Saturday Night Is The Loneliest Night

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 ball
And Monday to Friday's a gas
And another week goes past

But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
I sing the song that I sang for the mem'ries I usually seek
Until I hear you at the door
'til you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week


Hey now, Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week
And I sing the song that I sang for the mem'ries I usually seek
Until I hear you rap on the door
Until you're in my arms once more
Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Bill May

Hey there, cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with
me
Come dance with me, what an evenin' for some terpsichore
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, come on dance with me
Romance with me on a crowded floor

And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin'
'cause what is dancin' but makin' love set to music playin'?

When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
As we walk home cheek to cheek we'll be
Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me


Hey there, cutes, put on your Basie boots and come dance with me
Come dance with me, what an evenin' for some terpsichore
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, come on dance with me
Romance with me on a crowded floor

And while the rhythm swings, what cuckoo things I'll be sayin'
For what is dancin' but makin' love set to music playin'?

When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam
As we wing home cheek to cheek we'll be
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on and dance with me


61.French Foreign Legion

Written:Aaron H.Schroeder/Guy Wood
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

intro-first few notes of 'The Marseillaise'>

If you turn me down once more, I'll join the French Foreign
Legion
Betcha they would welcome me with open arms

First you love me, yes; then you love me, no
I don't know where I stand
Do we march together down the isle
Or do I march that desert sand?

If you think I won't find romance in the French Foreign Legion
Think about that uniform with all its charms
Just one more time are you gonna be mine or 'au revoir, cherie'
It's the French Foreign Legion for me

Now if you think I won't find romance in the French Foreign
Legion
Think about that uniform with all its charms
Just one more time are you gonna be mine or 'au revoir, Sadie'
It's the French Foreign Legion for me


62.The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else

Lyrics:Gus Kahn/Isham Jones
Music:Gus Kahn/Isham Jones
Arranger:Sy Oliver

The one I love belongs to somebody else
She means her tender songs for somebody else
And even when I have my arms around her

I know her thoughts are strong for somebody else
The hands I held belong to somebody else

I'll bet they're not so cold to somebody else
It's tough to be alone on the shelf
It's worse to fall in love by yourself

The one I love belongs to somebody else
The one I love belongs to somebody else


63.Here's That Rainy Day

Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Johnny Burke
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

Maybe
I should have saved
Those leftover dreams
Funny
But here's that rainy day

Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And I laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way

Where is that worn out wish
That I threw aside
After it brought my love so near

Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny
That rainy day is here


It's funny
How love becomes
A cold rainy day

Funny
That rainy day is here


64.High Hopes

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam

'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop


65.When No One Cares

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Gordon Jenkins

When no one cares
And the phone never rings
The nights are endless things

You're like a child that cries
And no one heeds the crying
You're like a falling star that dies
And seems to go on dying

When no one cares
You just count souvenirs
And they glisten with your tears

You can't believe a love like hers
Could come from someone new
When no one cares - but you

Lyrics:Ruth Lowe
Music:Ruth Lowe
Arranger:Fred Stulce

I'll never smile again
Until I smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do?
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through

I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know I will never start
To smile again
Until I smile at you


67.I've Got A Crush On You

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

Music:George Gershwin

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you

Just one look at 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

Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Let's take it nice 'n' easy
It's gonna be so easy for us to fall in love
Hey, baby, what's your hurry?
Relax 'n' don't you worry, we're gonna fall in love

We're on the road to romance, that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way

The problem now, of course, is to simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime 'cause nice 'n' easy does it every time


We're on the road to romance, that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way

The problem now, of course, is to simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime 'cause nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it every time

'Like the man says, 'one more time' '

Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it every time

Written:Clarence Gaskill/Jimmy Mchugh
Arranger:Nelson Riddle

Your eyes are blue - your kisses too
I never knew - what they could do
I can't believe that you're in love with me

You are telling - everyone I know
I'm on your mind - each place you go
They can't believe that you're in love with me

I have always placed you - far (way up there) above me
I just can't (Could never) imagine - that you love me

(And) After all is said and done - to think that I'm the lucky
(only) one
Cannot (I can't) believe that you're in love (can't believe that
you're in love.
..) with me

Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid 'cause this rover, crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as rich as Rockfeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street

With those blues on parade
Because this rover, it crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockfeller
With that gold dust 'round my feet
On the sunny side of the street
On the side, at that side of the street that is sunny


72.I've Heard That Song Before

Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Billy May

It seems to me I've heard that song before
It's from an old familiar score
I know it well, that melody

It's funny how a theme
Recalls a favorite dream
A dream that brought you so close to me

I know each word, because I've heard that song before
The lyrics said: 'for evermore'
For evermore's a memory

Please have them play it again
And (Then) I'll remember just when
I heard that lovely song before


73.Almost Like Being In Love

Written:Alan Jay Lerner/Frederick Loewe
Arranger:Heinie Beau

What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost 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
When the bell starts to peel
I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling
- It's almost like being in love


74.I'll Be Seeing You

Written:Irving Kahal/Sammy Fain
Arranger:Axel Stordahl

I'll be seeing you;
In all the old, familiar places;
That this heart of mine embraces;
All day through.

In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut tree;
The wishing well.

I'll be seeing you;
In every lovely, summer's day;
And everything that's bright and gay;
I'll always think of you that way;
I'll find you in the morning sun;
And when the night is new;
I'll be looking at the moon;
But I'll be seeing you.


75.I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues

Written:Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler
Arranger:Skip Martin

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to feel low-down
I gotta right to hang around
Down
around the river

A certain gal in this old town
Keeps draggin' my poor (old) heart around
All I see,
for me is - misery

I gotta right to sing the blues
I gotta right to moan and sigh
I gotta right to
sit and cry
Down around the river

I know the deep blue sea
Will soon be callin' me
It must be love -
say what you choose
I gotta right to sing the blues
