4.I Loves You Porgy

(1935) ira gershwin, dubose heyward, george gershwin

I loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
And i'll be glad

Yes i loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I wants to stay here with you forever
I've got my man

I loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man

Someday i know he's coming to call me
He's going to handle me and hold me
So, it' going to be like dying, porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes i know i'll have to go

I loves you, porgy,
Don't let him take me
Honey, don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wanna stay here with you forever
I've got my man


5.Spring Is Here

Richard rodgers, lorenz hart

Sprinh is here
Why doesn't my heart go dancing
Spring is here
Why isn't the waltz entrancing
No desire no ambition leads me
Maybe it's becaus nobody needs me

Spring is here
Why doesn't the breeze delight me
Stars appear
Why doesn't the night invite me
But maybe it's because nobody loves me
Spring is here i hear
Somebody told me spring is here


6.Blue Prelude

Gordon jenkins, joe bishop

Let me sigh, let me cry when i'm blue,
Let me go away from this lonely town,
Won't be long till my sun will be blue,
Cos i know i'm on my last go round.
All the love i could steal, beg or borrow,
Wouldn't heal all the pain in my soul.

What is love? only a prelude to sorrow,
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal,
Here i go - now you know why i'm leaving.
Got the blues. what can i lose? goodbye!

What is love? only a prelude to sorrow,
With a heartbreak ahead for your goal,
Here i go - now you know why i'm leaving.
I got the blues. what can i lose? goodbye!


7.Since My Love Has Gone

(1853) wasserman, aaron neville

Oh i'm lonely and left with tears and sorrow
I can't face tomorrow since my love has gone
He's left me left me for another and my heart went with him
How can i go on

Was our love a game played for a day
Were you pretending two hearts gone astray
Am i to blame for this unhappy ending

Nothing else is left me but a memory
Beloved how i long to hold you in my arms enfold you
Live again out happiness but now i can face tomorrow alone
Since my love has gone


8.Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair

Traditional

Black is the color of my true love's hair
His face so soft and wondrous fair
The purest eyes
And the strongest hands
I love the ground on where he stands
I love the ground on where he stands

Black is the color of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair
Of my true love's hair

Oh i love my lover
And where he goes
Yes, i love the ground on where he goes
And still i hope
That the time will come
When he and i will be as one
When he and i will be as one

So black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair
Black is the color of my true love's hair
