A Sentimental Date With Perry Como

Perry Como A Sentimental Date With Perry Como Lyrics
1.When Day Is Done

When day is done
And shadows fall
I dream of you!

When day is done
I think of all
The joys we knew!

That yearning, returning,
To hold you in my arms,
Won't go love, i know love,
Without you, night has lost it's charms!

When day is done
And grass is wet
With twilight's dew,
My lonely heart is sinking
With the sun!

Although i miss your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!

< instrumental verse >

Although i miss your tender kiss
The whole day through,
I miss you most of all
When day is done!


2.Carolina Moon

The moon was shining bright in carolina
The night we said goodbye so tenderly
And now that i'm away from carolina
Won't somebody tell the moon for me:

Oh, carolina moon keep shining
Shining on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon, i'm pining,
Pining for the place i long to be

How i'm hopin' tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light
Say i'm all right please do!

Tell her that i'm blue an' lonely
Dreamy carolina moon!

< instrumental break >

Tell her that i'm blue an' lonely
Dreamy carolina moon!


3.What'll I Do ?

What'll i do when you are far away
And i am blue, what'll i do?
What'll i do when i am wondering who
Is kissing you, what'll i do?

What'll i do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles true?
When i'm alone with only dreams of you
That won't come true, what'll i do?

< instrumental break >

What'll i do when i am wondering who
Is kissing you, what'll i do?

What'll i do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles true?
When i'm alone with only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll i do?


4.If We Can't Be The Same Old Sweethearts

( we'll just be the same old friends )

If we can't be the same old sweethearts,
Then we'll just be the same old friends!

For i want someone like you
Just to tell my troubles to,
My happiness, on you,
It all depends!

For i've known you too long to forget you
And my old dream of love never ends!
Though i know you can't be mine,
We will meet from time to time
And we'll just be the same old friends!

< instrumental verse >

For i've known you too long to forget you
And my old dream of love never ends!
Though i know you can't be mine,
We will meet from time to time
And we'll just be the same old friends!


5.I'm Always Chasing Rainbows

At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
And to find it how often i've tried
But my life is a race, just a wild goose chase
And my dreams have all been denied!

Why have i always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
I wonder if the world's to blame?
I wonder if it could be me?

I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by!
My schemes are just like all of my dreams
Ending in the sky!

Some fellows look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain!
Some fellows make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain!

Believe me . . .

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little blue bird in vain!

( rainbows seem to fade away! )


6.Love Me Or Leave Me

Love me or leave me an' let me be lonely
You won't believe me but i love you only!
I'd rather be lonely
Than happy with somebody else!

You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
For just reminiscing!

Regretting instead of forgetting
With somebody else! ( regretting instead of forgetting! )

There'll be no one unless
That someone is you!
I intend to be
Independently blue!

I want your love
But i don't want to borrow
To have it today
An' give back tomorrow!

For my love is your love
There's no love for nobody else!

< instrumental break >

Love me or leave me an' let me be lonely!
Won't you believe me that i love you only!
Oh, would rather be lonely
Than happy with somebody else!

You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
Night time is my time
For reminiscing!

Regretting instead of forgetting
With somebody else!

And there'll be no one unless
That someone is you, you, you!
I intend to be
Independently . . .
Independently blue!

I want your love
I don't want to borrow
To have it today
Give back tomorrow!

For my love is your love
There's no love for nobody else!

Love me or leave me
An' let me be lonely . . . baby!
You're drivin' me wild!
I'd rather be lonely
Than happy with somebody else!


7.Body And Soul

My heart is sad an' lonely
For you i sigh, for you dear only,
Why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you, body an' soul!

I spent my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging?
I tell you i mean it
I'm all for you, body an' soul!

I can't believe it, it's hard to concede it
That you turn away romance
Are you pretending, it looks like the ending
Unless i could have one more chance
To prove dear . . .

My life a wreck you're making
You know i'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you
Body an' soul!

< instrumental break >

My life a wreck you're making
You know i'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you
Body an' soul!


8.When Your Hair Has Turned To Silver

( i will love you just the same )

When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you just the same;
I will only call you sweetheart,
That will always be your name . . .

Through a garden filled with roses
Down the sunset trail we'll stray;
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you as today . . .

< instrumental verse >

Through a garden filled with roses
Down the sunset trail we'll stray;
When your hair has turned to silver,
I will love you as today . . .
