2.A Beautiful Friendship
(d. kahn, s. styme)
This is the end of a beautiful friendship,
It ended a moment ago.
This is the end of a beautiful friendship,
I know,
'cause your eyes told me so.
We've always been
Like sister and brother,
Until tonight,
When we looked at each other.
That was the end of a beautiful friendship,
And just the beginning of love.
~interlude~
That was the end of a beautiful friendship,
And just the beginning of love!
3.A Blossom Fell
-artist：nat king cole
-peak billboard position # 2 in 1955
-words and music by howard barnes, harold cornelius, and dominic
john
A blossom fell from off a tree
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me
The gypsies say and i know why
'a falling blossom only touches lips that lie'
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied
4.A Little Street Where Old Friends Meet
(h. woods, g. kahn)
It's just a little street
Where old friends meet,
I'd love to wander back
Someday.
To you, it may be old,
And sort of tumbled down,
But it means a lot to folks
In my hometown.
Although i'm rich or poor,
I still feel sure
I'm welcome as the flowers in may.
It's just a little street
Where old friends meet,
And treat you in the same old way.
~interlude~
Although i'm rich or poor,
I still feel sure
I'm welcome as the flowers in may.
It's just a little street
Where old friends meet,
And treat you in the same old way.
5.A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
That certain night, the night we met,
There was magic abroad in the air.
There were angels dining at the ritz,
And a nightingale sang in berkeley square.
I may be right, i may be wrong,
But i'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me,
A nightingale sang in berkeley square.
The moon that lingered over londontown
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know that we two were so in love？
The whole darn world seemed upside down.
The streets of town were paved with stars,
It was such a romantic affair.
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
A nightingale sang in berkeley square.
~interlude~
When dawn came stealing up, all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous,
I still remember how you smiled and said,
'was that a dream？ or was it true？'
Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing of fred astaire,
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in berkeley square.
6.A Thousand Thoughts Of You
(s. gallop, u. minucci)
A thousand thoughts of you
Will haunt me ever after
The music of your laughter
Will serenade my heart.
A thousand thoughts of you
Will roam the night and find me
With chains of love, they'll bind me
To dreams that won't depart.
Your face,
Your smile,
The moonlight in your hair
Your lips,
Your eyes,
I'll see them everywhere.
A thousand kisses, too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you.
~interlude~
A thousand kisses, too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you.
7.All For You
(r. b. sherman)
When you raise your eyes and make believe,
All the stars come out and paint a world of blue.
There's my heart right up your sleeve
Waiting all for you.
When you smile on me, the world is mine,
And the dreams i dream, i know will all come true.
Every care becomes divine
Waiting all for you.
My heart is beating to the old refrain
When i'm alone with you.
My heart's repeating, 'i'm in love again'
Can't we hold a rendez-vous？
You're the dreams i dream, the song i sing
You're the stars and moon and nearly everything.
Life would be a symphony,
Waiting all for you.
~interlude~
My heart is beating to the old refrain
When i'm alone with you.
My heart's repeating, 'i'm in love again'
Can't we hold a rendez-vous？
You're the dreams i dream, the song i sing
You're the stars and moon and nearly everything.
Life would be a symphony,
Living all for you.

This lyrics are like performed by natalie cole
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
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that i feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear i was falling
I could swear i was falling
It's almost like being in love

Our love affair is a wondrous thing
That we'll rejoice in remembering
Our love was born with our first embrace
And a page was torn out of time and space

A flame to burn through eternity
So take my hand with a fervent prayer
That we may live and we may share
A love affair to remember

Answer me, oh, my love
Just what sin have i been guilty of？
Tell me how i came to lose your love
Please answer me, sweetheart
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where i've gone astray？
Please answer me, my love
If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know i've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew？
In my sorrow now i turn to you
Please answer me, my love
(if you're happier without me)

In my sorrow now i turn to you
Please answer me, my love
Answer me, my love
11.Autumn Leaves
french
lyrics：jacques pr ert
English
lyrics：johnny mercer
Music：joseph kosma
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands i used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon i'll hear old winter's song
But i miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie s are ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants d unis

And so i think i'll travel on to avalon
13.Azure-te
(b. davis, d. wolf)
Gone and got the blues in paris,
Paris blues called azure-te.
How can i be blue in paris？
Easy, 'cause you're far away.
Can't lose this blues,
This azure-te.
Moments, springtime, eiffel tower,
Funny taxes, kids at play.
Paris without you is lonesome,
Yearning more and more each day.
Can't lose this blues,
This azure-te.
~interlude~
If you knew how much i need you,
You'd come back to me to stay.
Having you with me in paris
Really is the only way
To lose this blues,
This azure-te.
Can't lose this blues,
This azure-te.
14.Baby Baby, All The Time
(bobby troup)
Once i had a gal,
As sweet as she could be.
Once i had a gal,
And she was right for me.
Kinda sandy hair,
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldn't help but care
When she looked at you.
She called me 'baby'...
'baby', all the time.
She said, 'baby, can't you see？
'baby, understand
'baby, you're for me,
Won't you take my hand？'
But i pushed her away,
Wouldn't let her near
Pushed her far away
Now i'm wishing i could hear her
Call me 'baby'...
'baby', all the time.
~interlude~
It's so lonely through the day,
Lonely through the night,
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that gal i held so tight.
Lord, i pray that you
Will listen to my plea.
Keep her close to you
So she'll come back to me,
And call me 'baby'...
'baby', all the time.
Baby...
Baby, all the time.

And professus and the shade
And the sunrise kid are singin' it for you
Cat ballou, cat ballou
It's a hangin' day in wolf city, wyomin'
Wolf city, wyomin', eighteen ninety four
They're gonna drop cat ballou
Through the gallows floor
She killed a man in wolf city, wyomin'
Wolf city, wyomin', killed a man it's true
And that is why they're a-hangin'
Hangin' cat ballou
She has the smile of an angel
(fights like the devil)
The eyes of an angel
(bites like the devil)
The face of an angel
(i say she's the devil)
(she's mean and evil through and through)
Cat ballou, cat ball-ou-ou-ou
She's mean and evil through and through
With her outlaw band they're now tellin' a story
Now tellin' a story how she rode the plain
The wildest gal in the we-est
Since calamity jane
And today's the day that she's goin' to glory
She's goin' to glory for the way she sinned
They'll be a-speedin' her soul
On a wayward wind
She has the smile of an angel
(fights like the devil)
The eyes of an angel
(bites like the devil)
The face of an angel
(i say she's the devil)
(she's mean and evil through and through)
Cat ballou (cat ballou)
Cat ball-ou-ou-ou (cat ballou)
She's mean and evil through and through
Cat ballou, cat ball-ou-ou-ou
She's mean and evil through and through

Dance, ballerina, dance
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart
Dance, ballerina, dance
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row
This is your moment, girl
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina, dance
Dance, dance!
Whirl ballerina
Once you said his love must wait its turn

The breeze that hurries by
Becomes a melody and why？
Because you're mine, because you're mine
I only know for as long as i may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because you're mine
I only know for as long as i may live
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me
And when we kiss
That isn't thunder, dear
It's only my poor heart you hear and its applause
Because you're mine
18.Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
(harry warren, al dubin)
I walk along the street of sorrow,
The boulevard of broken dreams.
Where gigolo and gigolette
Can take a kiss without regret
So they forget their broken dreams.
You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow,
When you behold your shattered dreams.
And gigolo and gigolette
Awake to find their eyes are wet
With tears that tell of broken dreams.
Here is where you'll always find me,
Always walking up and down.
But i left my soul behind me
In an old cathedral town.
The joy you find here, you borrow,
You cannot keep it long, it seems.
But gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams.
~interlude~

Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams.
19.But Beautiful
(jimmy van heusen, johnny burke)
Love is funny, or it's sad,
Or it's quiet, or it's mad.
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful...
Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall,
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.
~interlude~
And i'm thinking, if you were mine,
I'd never let you go.
And that would be but beautiful,
That would be but beautiful...
I know.

Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,

Fine calypso woman,
She cook me shrimp and rice...
Dese yankee hot dogs
Don't treat me stomach very nice.
In trinidad, one dollar buy
Papaya juice, banana pie,
Six coconut, one female goat,
An' plenty fish to fill de boat.
One bushel bread, one barrel wine,
An' all de town, she come to dine.
But here is bad, one dollar buy
Cup of coffee, ham on rye.
Me throat she sick from necktie,
Me feet hurt from shoes.
Me pocket full of empty,
I got calypso blues.
Dese yankee girl give me big scare,
Is black de root, is blonde de hair.
Her eyelash false, her face is paint,
And pads are where de girl she ain't!
She jitterbug when she should waltz,
I even think her name is false.
But calypso girl is good a lot,
Is what you see, is what she got.
Sittin' by de ocean
Me heart, she feel so sad,
Sittin' by de ocean,
Me heart, she feel so sad...
Don't got de money
To take me back to trinidad.
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...

Love plays such funny games.
Dinner for one please, james,
Close madame's room, we've parted.
Please, don't look so downhearted,
Love plays such funny games.
Seems my best friend told her of another,
I had no chance to deny.

Someday she'll find out the lie.
Maybe she's not to blame,
Leave me with silent hours.
No, don't move her favorite flowers,
Dinner for one please, james.

26.Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
(edward 'duke' ellington, bob russell)
Do nothing till you hear from me,
Pay no attention to what's said.
Why people tear the seams of anyone's dreams
Is over my head.
Do nothing till you hear from me,
At least consider our romance.
If you should take the words of others you've heard,
I haven't a chance.
True, i've been seen with someone new,
But does that mean that i've been untrue？
When we're apart,
The words in my heart
Reveal how i feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memories,
And other arms may hold a thrill,
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will.
~interlude~
Some kiss may cloud my memories,
And other arms may hold a thrill,
But please, do nothing till you hear it from me--
And you never will.
27.Don't Blame Me(1958 Version)
(dorothy fields, jimmy mchugh)
Don't blame me
For falling in love with you.
I'm under your spell
But how can i help it？
Don't blame me.
Can't you see
When you do the things you do
If i can't conceal
The thrill that i'm feeling,
Don't blame me.
I can't help it
If that doggone moon above
Makes me need
Someone like you to love.
Blame your kiss
As sweet as a kiss can be,
And blame all your charms
That melt in my arms,
But don't blame me.
(interlude)
Blame your kiss
As sweet as a kiss can be,
And blame all your charms
That melt in my arms,
But don't blame me.
(interlude)
Blame all your charms
That melt in my arms,
But don't blame me.

music：duke ellington
This lyrics are like performed by natalie cole
Missed the saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
Thought i'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling, i guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won't say 'good night' until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know
So love me tonight; tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

Forgive my heart
My foolish heart it won't believe we're through
Forgive my heart
You're still a part of everything i do
Forgive my lips
If now and then
They speak your name
If you are still
My only thrill
Am i to blame
Forgive my dreams
In all my dreams it seems your face appears
Forgive my eyes
I realize i'm only wasting tears
Don't know why you haunt me
But you do

merrill, and hughie
-prince
Funny, how i've stopped loving you
I can pass you on the street and my heart don't skip a beat
Not much, so much my eyes wanna cry
Funny, how i've stopped loving you
I can listen to your name and it doesn't start a flame
Not much, so much my heart wants to die
Now that you're standing here, darling, i don't shed a tear
This is just the rain in my eyes
And if i have proved to you everything i say is true
Please help me believe my own lies
Funny, how i've stopped loving you
And it's funny i don't miss all the heaven in your kiss
Your touch, no i don't love you, not much
Funny, how i've stopped loving you
And it's funny i don't miss all the heaven in your kiss
Your touch, no i don't love you, not much
No i don't love you, not much
33.Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You？
(don redman, andy razaf)
Love makes me treat you the way that i do,
Gee baby, ain't i good to you？
There's nothing in this world too good
For a girl so good and true.
Gee baby, ain't i good to you？
Bought you a fur coat for christmas,
A diamond ring,
A big cadillac car, and everything.
What makes me treat you the way that i do？
Gee baby, ain't i good to you？
~interlude~

34.He Who Hesitates
(dorothy wayne, ray rasch)
He who hesitates
When it comes to love
He will never know
The wonder of it all.
A kiss -- a sigh,
You'll never know
If you don't try.
He who hesitates
When her eyes say yes,
Just how much you've missed
You will never guess.
Your chance
Goes by
And it's too late
To wonder why.
Dreams cannot replace
The wonder of her smile.
The warmth of her embrace,
Don't let it
Escape you.
When you fall in love
And you feel the glow,
Take her in your arms
Never let her go.
Don't be
The one
To hesitate with love.
~interlude~

35.Chant Of The Blues(Doggone Unlucky Blues)
(nathaniel cole)
I don't know why i'm so doggone unlucky today.
Just got the news that my best gal has left me to stay.
Things were pretty rosy,
We got along so fine.
Until another guy moved in
And handed her a line.
I don't know why i'm so doggone unlucky today.
So i decided to try and get her off my mind.
Started to walkin', to see what enjoyment i'd find.
Was invited to a party,
Then there was a fight.
A fella got a whippin'...
You guessed it right.
I don't know why i'm so doggone unlucky today.
36.I Don't Want To See Tomorrow
(wayne／morris)
(i don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless i see it with you.)
Tomorrow, so they say
Will be a lovely day,
A bright new sun will suddenly break through,
But i don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless i see it with you.
Tomorrow, so i hear
The clouds will disappear,
The door to happiness will open wide.
But i don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless you're there by my side.
Don't want to walk alone,
Don't want to dream alone,
Just want you close to my heart.
For if your love is gone,
How can i face the dawn of
Sunday, or monday？
I just can't face one day...
Until you say you're mine,
Oh, darling, please be mine
And make each bright tomorrow young and new.
But i don't want to face tomorrow
Unless i see it with you.
(tomorrow, so i hear
The clouds will disappear,
The door to happiness will open wide.)
But i don't want to see tomorrow,
Unless i see it with you.
37.I Just Can't See For Lookin'
(robinson, stamford)
Maybe i talk too much,
Maybe i've lost m' touch.
I guess i don't know what's cookin'
'cause i just can't see for lookin'.
Other boys have their chicks,
Two, three, four, five or six.
I don't seem to get a bookin'
'cause i just can't see for lookin'.
I'm kinda crazy,
Like a daisy
Up that well known tree, poor me.
I'm sittin', hopin',
Horoscopin'
Won't some sista take a chance with me？
I've been around the town,
Everyone brings me down.
I give up hope, i'm just a dope.
There ain't no gals for hookin',
I just can't see for lookin'.
~interlude~

No, no.
38.I Keep Goin' Back To Joe's
(fisher／segal)
I keep goin' back to joe's
To that table in the corner,
Sippin' wine and staring at the door.
Our old waiter knows we're through,
Still he sets a place for you
Everything the way it was before.
I keep goin' back to joe's,
But the man who plays piano
Never plays your favorite melody.
Joe keeps busy at the bar,
Never asks me where you are.
He was there when you walked out on me.
Now i pray you'll walk back in,
And you'll say what fools we've been,
And we'll celebrate a happy new beginning.
Chances are you'll never show,
But you'll know just where to find me
Every night until it's time to close.
Just in case you miss me, too,
I'll be there to welcome you.
That's why i keep going back...
That's why i keep goin' back...
To joe's.
39.I Love Paris
Nat king cole
(cole porter)
('can-can')
Every time i look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies.
Whether loud be her cheers or soft be her tears,
More and more do i realize：
I love paris in the springtime.
I love paris in the fall.
I love paris in the winter when it drizzles,
I love paris in the summer when it sizzles.
I love paris every moment,
Every moment of the year.
I love paris, why, oh why do i love paris？
Because my love is near.
40.I Remember You
(johnny mercer, victor schertzinger)
Was it in tahiti？
Were we on the nile？
Long, long ago,
Say an hour or so
I recall that i saw your smile.
I remember you,
You're the one who made
My dreams come true
A few kisses ago.
I remember you,
You're the one who said
'i love you, too,' i do.
Didn't you know？
I remember, too,
A distant bell,
And stars that fell like rain
Out of the blue.
When my life is through,
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all,
Then i shall tell them
I remember you.
41.I Should Care

and van johnson
-charted in 1945 by frank sinatra (#8), martha tilton (#10),
tommy dorsey (#11),
-and jimmy dorsey (#13).
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 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
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
And i do
42.I Was A Little Too Lonely(And You Were A Little Too Late)
(jay livingston, raymond evans)
You promised me you'd come back,
I promised to wait.
But i was a little too lonely,
And you were a little too late.
Too many long nights alone,
Not even a date.
So i got a little too lonely,
And you were a little too late.
You never did write, you never did call.
When i had the blues, you were havin' a ball.
You thought that i'd be here to run to,
Now i'm gonna do to you what i've been done to.
Too bad about you, my friend,
It could've been great.
But i was a little too lonely,
And now you're a little too late.

Will you always treat me tenderly？
And in every way be fair？
If i give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love？
Will you swear that you'll be true to me？
By the light that shines above？
And will you sigh with me when i'm sad？
Smile with me when i'm glad？
And always be as you are with me tonight？
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all these things to me

I'd like to love you everyday,
If i may (if i may).

And if i may, i'd like to say
I wish that you were mine.
If i had you, all i would do
Is adore you all the time.
I'd like to tell you of your charms everyday,

45.If Love Ain't There
(johnny burke)
Better face the facts, ol' buddy,
And be prepared to take the blow.
You don't have to sit and study,
It's something anyone should know.
Shake hands... get your hat...
And go.
You can praise her eyes,
And adore her hair.
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.
And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air,
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.
And you can look
With a longing in your look,
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware.
And you can weep and sigh,
You can say, 'unfair'.
You can almost die of despair.
But if love ain't there,
It ain't there.
46.If You Can't Smile And Say Yes
(louis jordan, timmie rodgers)
Knock me a kiss, you'll never miss
When i'm ready to go.
But if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
Squeeze me a squoze in these fine clothes,
Mmmm...i love you so.
But if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
When i ask for a date, the answer is no.
You don't know what you're saying.
Don't you know the war's on,
Everything is rationed,
How 'bout that jive, keep me alive？
Baby, let bygones be bygones,
'cause men are scarce as nylons.
And if you can't smile and say yes,
Please don't cry and say no!
~interlude~

47.I'm A Shy Guy
(nathaniel cole)
I'm just a shy guy,
My, i'm a 'fraid-to-try guy
No lie.
There's a gal that i idolize
But i just can't seem to hypnotize.
And when she pets me,
You betcha, it gets me.
And everytime i hold her hand,
I'm just too shy to say the things i plan.
Everytime she's close to me,
My heart is filled with ecstasy,
And like a dope, i let the chance slip by.
There, i should have told her then
But all i did was sit and grin,
And i ended up so mad that i could cry.
'cause i'm a shy guy
Wish i was a sly guy
Then i could say, 'baby, baby, i love you'
Just like those guys in moving pictures all do.

48.I'm Gonna Laugh You Out Of My Life
(cy coleman, joseph allen mccarthy)
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Laugh, and forget this affair
Guess i was foolish
To care.
So i'm gonna dance you right out of my dreams,
Try to be carefree and gay
I guess i'll learn to play
The part.
'cause when our friends begin that
Heartless rumor,
I know i'll really need my
Sense of humor.
I'm gonna laugh you right out of my life,
Make it a beautiful joke.
No one will know you broke
My heart.
But if i find you and i
Really meant that last goodbye,
Then i'm gonna laugh so hard,
I'll cry.
~interlude~

49.I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter
(f. ahlert, j. young)
I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter,
And make believe it came from you.
I'm gonna write words oh, so sweet
They're gonna knock me off of my feet,
A lot of kisses on the bottom,
I'll be glad i got 'em.
I'm gonna smile and say,
'i hope you're feeling better,'
And close with love, the way that you do.
I'm gonna sit right down
And write myself a letter,
And make believe it came from you.

50.Impossible
-artist：nat king cole
-peak billboard position unknown
-words and music by steve allen in 1956
If they had ever told me how sweet a kiss could be
I would have said 'impossible, impossible for me'
And if they said i'd find you beyond the rainbow's end
I would have said 'impossible, impossible, my friend'
To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems i'm living in
A dream too beautiful to be
If they had said a moonbeam could calm a stormy sea
I would have said 'impossible' but now at last i see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me
I would have said 'impossible' but now at last i see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me
51.In Other Words(Fly Me To The Moon)
(bart howard)
Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing.
It takes thought and time amd rhyme
To make a poem sing.
With music and words i've been playing
For you, i have written a song.
To be sure that you'll know what i'm saying,
I'll translate as i go along...
Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars.
In other words,
Hold my hand.
In other words,
Darling, kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more.
You are all i long for,
All i worship and adore.
In other words,
Please be true.
In other words,
I love you.

52.Is It Better To Have Loved And Lost
(lewis／weissman／lange)
Is it better
To have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all？
I wonder (i wonder),
I wonder (i wonder),
As my lonely teardrops fall.
Is it better
To have kissed and lost,
Than never to have felt the glow？
I wonder (i wonder),
I wonder (i wonder),
Then why do i miss you so？
Only those who've lost at love
Would know how a heart can cry.
And they would know the meaning of
Hearing a last goodbye.
Is it better
To have loved and lost,
Than never had my dream come true？
I wonder (i wonder),
I wonder (i wonder),
'cause i'm still in love with you.
I wonder (i wonder),
I wonder (i wonder),
'cause i'm still in love with you.
53.It Happens To Be Me
-artist：nat king cole
-from his 'the greatest of nat king cole' lp-capitol slb 6803
-peak billboard position # 16 in 1954
-words and music by sammy gallop and arthur kent
Someone longs for you and your caress
He's learning now how empty arms can be
Someone who used to know your kiss not long ago
That someone happens to be me
How he misses you and must confess
Without you he's like driftwood on the sea
He's just a dreamer who is still in love with you
That dreamer happens to be me
I'll never know just why we parted
It's more than i can comprehend
I only know when you departed
You started a night that has no end
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
I hope it happens to be me
Perhaps there'll come a time when you're alone
Your heart still haunted by a memory
If then you chance to find there's someone on your mind
I hope it happens to be me
I hope it happens to be me
54.It's Only A Paper Moon
(harold arlen, billy rose, e. y. harburg)
Said it is only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Say it is only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
Without your love,
It's a honky-tonk parade.
Without your love,
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.
It's a barnum and bailey world,
Just as phony as it can be,
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me.
~interlude~

What are my arms for？
Use your imagination!
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
Around wonderful you.

Whenever i sneeze.

A lark and a dove,
But first of all, please --

Looking ba-a-ack over my life

I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if i just ha-ad the chance
I'd never make that same mistake again
Once my cup was overflowing
But i gave nothing in retu-u-urn
Now i can't begin to te-ell you
What a lesson i have learned
Looking ba-a-ack over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
But i know, oh yes i know
I'd never make that same mistake again

(newman／spencer／delange)
Lost april,
Where did you go？
Like winter's snow,
I saw you vanish.
Lost april,
So soft and warm.
A memory
Not even time can banish.
Lost april,
That taught me this.
A single kiss
Could lead to heaven.
But april had numbered days,
So when they passed,
Love couldn't last.
I lost love and you,
And april, too.

You love me, because you told me so.
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while we're apart.
I'm not alone in the night

I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then i read again
Right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart.

63.Lush Life
(billy strayhorn)
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life...
From jazz and cocktails.
The girls i knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distant gay traces
That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed
away
By too many through the day...
Twelve o'clock tales.
Then you came along with your siren of song
To tempt me to madness!
I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with
the sadness
Of a great love for me.
Ah yes! i was wrong...
Again,
I was wrong.
Life is lonely again,
And only last year everything seemed so sure.
Now life is awful again,
A troughful of hearts could only be a bore.
A week in paris will ease the bite of it,
All i care is to smile in spite of it.
I'll forget you, i will
While yet you are still burning inside my brain.
Romance is mush,
Stifling those who strive.
I'll live a lush life in some small dive...
And there i'll be, while i rot
With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too..
64.Magnificent Obsession
(frankie laine, fred karger)
You're my magnificent obsession
The greatest wonder on this earth.
The taj mahal and other spendors
To me really have no worth.
You're my magificent possession,
A treasure lent me from above.
As long as i have breath within me,
You'll be my one and only love.
(interlude)
You're my magificent possession,
A treasure lent me from above.
As long as i have breath within me,
You'll be my one and only love.
65.Meet Me At No Special Place
(and i'll be there at no particular time)
(pyle／robinson／terker)
Baby, we two can't get along,
I'm never right, you're never wrong.
So meet me at no special place,
And i'll be there at no particular time.
Baby, it just ain't common sense
Mixin' up love with arguments.
So meet me at no special place,
And i'll be there at no particular time.
I'm all fed up on stormy weather,
I'm going where it's june.
Here's hopin' i see you never
'cause if i do, that will be too soon.
Now that i've put my heart on ice,
Missing you will seem paradise.
So meet me at no special place,
And i'll be there at no particular time.
~interlude~
You'd better bring along your glasses
In case i'm hard to find,
You'll wish you could see before you
As clearly as you can see behind.
You can turn back in retropect
Of the times you stuck out your neck.
So meet me at no special place,
And i'll be there at no particular time.
All we do is make up
Then quarrel all over again,
But this is it ~ the breakup
From now on, you knew me when...
So meet me at no special place,
And i'll be there at no particular time!
66.Miss Otis Regrets(She's Unable To Lunch Today)
(cole porter)
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Madam...
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
But last evening down at lover's lane, she strayed.
Madam...
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
~interlude~
When she woke from her dream
And found that her love had gone,
Madam...
She ran to the man
Who had led her so far astray.
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down.
Madam...
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.
Then the mob came and got her
And dragged her from the jail.
Madam...
They strung her upon
A willow across the way.
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried.
Madam...
Miss otis regrets
She's unable to lunch today.

-academy award winner from the film 'captain carey, u.s.a'
starring alan ladd
Mona lisa, mona lisa, men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you？
For that mona lisa strangeness in your smile？
Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa？
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart？
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa？
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art？
Do you smile to tempt a lover, mona lisa？
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart？
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, mona lisa？
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art？
Mona lisa, mona lisa
68.More
(oliveiro／ortolani／ciorciolini／newell)
More
Than the greatest love the world
Has known,
This
Is the love i'll give to you
Alone.
More
Than the simple words
I've tried to say,
I'll only live to love you
More each day.
More than you'll ever know,
My arms long to hold you so.
My life will be in your keepin',
Wakin'... sleepin'... laughin'...weepin'.
Longer
Than always is a long, long time,
But far beyond forever,
You'll be mine.
I know i've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.
I know i've never lived before,
And my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more.
69.My Baby Just Cares For Me
As sung by nat king cole
Words by gus kahn and music by walter donaldson
Sung in the file 'whoopee' by eddie cantor
A #4 hit for ted weems in 1930
A # 29 hit for the hi-los in 1954
My baby don't care for shows, my baby don't care for clothes,
My baby just cares for me.
My baby don't care for furs and laces,
My baby don't care for high-toned places,
My baby don't care for rings or other expensive things,
She's sensible as can be.
My baby don't care who knows it,
My baby just cares for me.
(instrumental interlude)
My baby's no crosby fan, dick tracy is not her man,
My baby just cares for me.
My baby don't care for mr. tibbits,
She'd rather have me around to kibbitz.
Roy rogers is not her style, and even clark gable's smile
Is something that she can't see.
(oh, you lucky so-and-so)
I wonder what's wrong with baby,
My baby just cares for me.
70.My Personal Possession
(charles singleton, rose marie mccoy)
You are my personal possession,
You're mine alone
You are my personal possession,
My very own.
Nobody else must kiss you but me,
Nobody else must miss you but me.
Nobody must dream of you but me,
And nobody else must love you but me.
You're my personal possession,
That's what you are.
You're my magnificent obsession,
My lucky star.
I own you exclusively,
Darling, you belong to me.
You're my personal possession,
My precious love!

You're my personal possession,
My precious love!

-words and music by eden ahbez
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'
72.Night Lights
-artist：nat king cole
-peak billboard position # 11 in 1956
-words by sammy gallop and music by chester conn
Night lights, those blues-in-the-night lights
Are no longer bright lights since i'm without you
Sweet dreams, oh where did they fly to？
You're gone and who can i cry to？
Those night lights remind me of bright eyes
And beautiful white lies too good to be true
As i go on my way with all my heart i pray
That those night lights will lead me to you
Those night lights remind me of bright eyes
And beautiful white lies too good to be true
As i go on my way with all my heart i pray
That those night lights will lead me to you
73.No, I Don't Want Her
(joe bailey)
No-o-o, i don't want her,
So i'll forget her.
Forget the love she gave me,
Somehow.
I've learned my lesson,
Don't have to tell me.
'cause i'm gonna start forgettin',
Yes, i'm gonna start forgettin'
Right now.
Go on, take my share,
'cause i don't want her.
And now, she's gone, good riddance, goodbye.
But what my friends don't know
Is that i love her so.
And in my lonely room all day,
I cry.
Go-o on and take her,
'cause i don't want her.
I know i'll find another,
Find another
Somewhere.
No, i don't want her,
She's not my kind now.
And if she's got somebody else,
Oh, really got somebody else,
I don't care.
To think that my love
Could say 'goodbye, love',
And leave me here, as low as the ground,
But no one knows but me
What she means to me,
And when i'm by myself,
All day i sigh.
'cause without her...
I could lay me down
And die.

75.On The Street Where You Live
(alan lerner, frederick loewe)
I have often walked
Down the street before,
But the pavement always
Stayed beneath my feet before.
All at once am i
Several stories high,
Knowing i'm on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town？
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town？
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door？
No, it's just on the street where you live.
And oh, the towering feeling
Just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling
That any second you may suddenly appear.
People stop and stare
They don't bother me,
For there's no where else on earth
That i would rather be.
Let the time go by,
I won't care if i
Can be here on the street where you live.
~interlude~

76.Once In A While
(m. edwards, b. green)
Once in a while,
Will you try
To give one little thought to me,
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart？
Once in a while,
Will you dream
Of the moments
I shared with you,
Moments before we two
Drifted apart？
In love's smoldering ember,
One spark may remain.
If love still can remember,
That spark may burn again.
I know that i'll
Be contented with
Yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while.
~interlude~
Once in a while...
In love's smoldering ember,
One spark may remain.
If love still can remember,
The spark may burn again.
I know that i'll
Be contented with
Yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while...
Once in a while.
77.Orange Colored Sky
Nat king cole
I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange-colored sky
Flash! bam! alakazam!
Wonderful you came by
I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
When out of that orange-colored view
Wham! bam! alakazam!
I got a look at you
One look and i yelled 'timber'
'watch out for flying glass'
'cause the ceiling fell and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and i started to shout,
'i've been hit, this is it, this is it!'
I was walking along minding my business
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! bam! alakazam!
Out of an orange-colored sky.

The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
79.Pick Yourself Up
(jerome kern, dorothy fields)
Pick yourself up...
Take a deep breath...
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.
Nothing's impossible, i have found
For when my chin is on the ground.
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off
And start all over again.
Don't lose your confidence
If you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.
Work like a soul inspired
Until the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again？
So take a deep breath...
Pick yourself up...
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.
~interlude~
Work like a soul inspired
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again？
So take a deep breath...
Pick yourself up...
Dust yourself off
And start all over again.
80.Poinciana
(simon／bernier)
Blow...tropic wind...
Sing a song...through the trees.
Trees...sigh to me...
Soon my love...i will see.
Poinciana,
Your branches speak to me of love.
Pale moon is casting shadows from above.
Poinciana,
Somehow i feel the jungle beat
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,
Though skies may turn from blue to gray,
My love will live for ever and a day.
Blow....tropic wind,
Sing a song through the trees.
Trees...sigh to me
Soon my love... i will see.
Poinciana...

Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you pretend
You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend？
And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend？

Ramble on, ramble on
When your ramblin' days are gone
Who will love you with a love true
When your ramblin' days are through？
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why i want you, heaven knows
Though i love you with a love true
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose？
Spoken
Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose
Why i want you, heaven knows
Though i love you with a love true
Who can cling to a ramblin' rose？

84.Road To Nowhere
(kane／ecton)
Goodbye, lonely heartache,
Farewell, bitter tears.
I'm leaving forever,
And not just for years.
You're home again, darling,
And i love you so.
But you love another,
That's why i must go.
Down the road to nowhere,
I'll wander my lonely days through.
Down the road to nowhere,
I'm nowhere at all without you.
Our favorite places
That made moments fly
Just can't be forgotten,
But still i must try.
The dance where i met you
When you walked my way,
I cry when i pass them
So i'll drift away.
Down the road to nowhere,
I'll wander my lonely days through.
Down the road to nowhere,
I'm nowhere at all without you...
I'm nowhere at all without you...
I'm nowhere at all without you.

word：bobby troup
lyrics：bobby troup
This lyrics are like performed by natalie cole
If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
It winds from chicago to la,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Now you go through saint looey
Joplin, missouri,
And oklahoma city is mighty pretty.
You see amarillo,
Gallup, new mexico,
Flagstaff, arizona.
Don't forget winona,
Kingman, barstow, san bernandino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip：
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Solo
Won't you get hip to this timely tip：
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
86.Say It Isn't So
(irving berlin)
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.
People say passing by
Say he's younger than i
And it won't be long before you leave me,
Tell me it's a lie.
Say that everything is still okay,
That's all i want to know.
And what they're saying,
Say it isn't so.

Words by john turner and geoffrey parsons and music by charlie
chaplin
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying？
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying？
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
88.Someone To Tell It To
(van heusen, cahn, fuller)
What good is a dream,
A plan or a scheme,
The rainbow that you pursue？
It's everything... and it's nothing
Without someone to tell it to.
How eager you are
To get to that star,
But after the journey's through,
You're only a lonely dreamer
Without someone to tell it to.
There'll be blue days,
Hard to get through days,
Days when you'll just want to die.
Soon you're older,
And the world's colder,
When there's no shoulder to cry on.
Castles in air
Are empty and bare
With no one to share the view.
The moonlight is merely moonlight,
There's no magic in 'i love you'
Without someone
Someone to tell it to.
~interlude~
The moonlight is merely moonlight,
There's no magic in 'i love you'
Without someone
Someone to tell it to.
89.Sometimes I'm Happy
(v. youmans, i. caesar)
Sometimes i'm happy,
Sometimes i'm blue.
My disposition
Depends on you.
I never mind
The rain from the sky
If i can find
The sun in your eyes.
Sometimes i love you,
Sometimes i hate you.
But when i hate you,
It's 'cause i love you.
That's how i am
So what can i do？
I'm happy when i'm with you.
~interlude~
Sometimes i love you,
Sometimes i hate you.
But when i hate you,
It's 'cause i love you.
That's how i am
So what can i do？
I'm happy when i'm with you.
I'm happy when i'm with you.
90.Somewhere Along The Way
-artist：nat king cole
-peak billboard position #8 in 1952
-words by sammy gallop and music by kurt adams
I used to walk with you
Along the avenue
Our hearts were carefree and gay
How could i know i'd lose you
Somewhere along the way？
The friends we used to know
Would always smile 'hello'
No love like our love they'd say
Then love slipped through our fingers
Somewhere along the way
I should forget
But with the loneliness of night i start remembering ev'rything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me
So now i look for you
Along the avenue
And as i wander i pray
That some day soon i'll find you
Somewhere along the way
I should forget
But with the loneliness of night i start remembering ev'rything
You're gone and yet
There's still a feeling deep inside
That you will always be part of me
So now i look for you
Along the avenue
And as i wander i pray
That some day soon i'll find you
Somewhere along the way
Somewhere along the way

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes i wonder why i spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And i am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though i dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
92.Stay As Sweet As You Are
(m. gordon, h. revel)
Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a thing
Ever change you.
Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a soul
Rearrange you.
Don't ever lose
The charm you possess,
Your loveliness, darling,
The way you say 'yes'.
Stay as sweet as you are
Discreet as you are,
You're divine, dear.
Stay as grand as you are,
And as you are,
Tell me that you're mine, dear.
Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day i pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are.
(interlude)
Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar,
Night and day i pray
That you'll always stay
As sweet as you are.
93.Straighten Up And Fly Right
(words and music by nat king cole and irving mills)
The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on the square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
The monkey grabbed his neck and said 'now listen, jack'
'straighten up and fly right'
'straighten up and fly right'
'straighten up and fly right'
'cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.'
'ain't no use in jivin' '
'what's the use in dabbin' '
'straighten up and fly right'
'cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.'
The buzzard told the monkey 'you're chokin' me'
'release your hold and i'll set you free'
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
'your story's fetchin' but it sounds like a lie'
'straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.'
(instrumental interlude)
'straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and do right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.'
94.Sweet Lorraine(40 Version)
(mitchell parish, cliff burwell)
Just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy, baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo choy
When i met my sweet lorraine, lorraine, lorraine.
A pair of eyes
That are brighter tham the summer sky
When you see them, you'll realize
Why i love my sweet lorraine.
Now when it's rainin',
I don't miss the sun
Because it's in my baby's smile, whoa ho
And to think that i'm the lucky one
That will lead her down the aisle, whoa ho ho
Each night i pray
That no one will steal her heart away
I can't wait until that lucky day
When i marry sweet lorraine.
~interlude~

95.Take A Fool's Advice
(charles singleton)
If you love her
And she makes one mistake,
Please don't leave her
It would make your heart ache.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price i had to pay.
If you need her
But you're letting her go,
Please don't do it
You'll be sorry, i know.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price i had to pay.
Truly,
She's caused you to doubt her,
Truly,
She's broken the rules.
But life's not worth living without her,
So listen to the wisdom of a fool.
Think it over
And forgive her this time,
I was foolish
I lost the love that was mine.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price i had to pay.
Take a fool's advice,
Don't pay the price i had to pay.
96.Tenderly
(words and music by gross and lawrence)
This lyrics are like performed by natalie cole
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and i came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly
97.That Sunday That Summer
-artist：nat king cole
-peak billboard position # 12 in 1963
-words and music by george david weiss and joe sherman
(if i had to choose just one day)
If i had to choose just one day
To last my whole life through
It would surely be that sunday
The day that i met you
Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a-coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills
Nodding all together, i could almost hear them whisper
'go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her'
If i had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that sunday, that summer
(newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills)
(summer was a-comin' in but fast)
(lots of daffodils were showin' off their skills)
(nodding all together, i could almost hear them whisper)
('go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her')
If i had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that sunday, that summer
98.That's All
(alan brandt, bob haymes)
I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call,
And the only heart i own
For you and you alone,
That's all, that's all.
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall,
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter night,
That's all, that's all.
There are those, i am sure, that have told you
They would give you the world for a toy.
All i have are these arms to enfold you
And a love time can never destroy.
If you're wondering what i'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and ever more,
That's all, that's all.
~interlude~
If you're wondering what i'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore
For now and ever more,
That's all...that's all.
99.That's All There Is
(gordon jenkins)
That's all there is,
There isn't any more, my sweet.
I've gone about as far as i can go.
I realize the things you did
You had to do,
And they weren't so terribly bad to do.
But you shouldn't have told me,
I didn't want to know.
Maybe i tried too hard,
I thought that we could reach the sky.
I guess
The mountain was too high to climb
I put a sign that says, 'for sale'
On all my dreams
And a permanent lock on my door.
That's all there is,
There isn't any more.
But if you need me,
Call me, baby...
Call me.
100.That's All There Is To That
(clyde otis, kelly owens)
Did you ever
Watch the one you love
Slowly drifting away from you,
And you know
Deep in your heart
There is nothing that you can do
To make her stay (to make her stay),
To turn the tide (to turn the tide),
To ease the pain (to ease the pain)
That you feel down inside？
When her eyes
Say it's over and done,
Then you simply must face the fact.
So you leave and think it over,
But you come hurrying back
Hoping she'll change her mind,
Praying she'll take you back.
But like the lady said,
'that's all there is to that.'
(when her eyes
Say it's over and done,
Then you simply must face the fact.)
So you leave and think it over,
But you come hurrying back
Hoping she'll change her mind,
Praying she'll take you back.
But like the lady said,
'that's all there is to that.'
