The Songs I Love

Perry Como The Songs I Love Lyrics
1.The Songs I Love

The songs they're playin' that we both romanced to,
Those lovely songs we stayed up late and danced to,
They taught me where my heart belongs,
These are the songs i love!

The tender melodies we often sighed to,
That special one we said good-bye and cried to,
Because they righted all the wrongs,
These are the songs i love!

The happy rhymes, the underscored,
The happy time when we found spring together.
The pretty themes, that underscored the pretty dreams,
That make us cling together!

These songs we'll call our own and face the years with,
We'll face the laughter, yes, and face the tears with,
They'll help us through the rain and shine,
These songs i love because these songs are yours and mine!


2.I Left My Heart In San Francisco

I left my heart in san francisco,
High on a hill, it calls to me,
To be where little cable cars,
Climb halfway to the stars,
The morning fog may chill the air,
I don't care!
My heart waits there, in san francisco,
Above the blue and windy sea.
When i come home to you, san francisco,
Your golden sun will shine for me


3.Fly Me To The Moon(In Other Words)

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.


4.Slightly Out Of Tune(Desafinado)

Love is like a never ending melody,
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
But our song of love is slightly out of tune . . . .

Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich,
Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing,
Like the bossa nova love should swing . . . .

We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Now the song is different and the words don't even rhyme,
&cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,
What good's a heart that's slightly out of tune?

Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be,
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love,
We're bound to get in tune again before too long,
There'll be no desafinado when your heart belongs to me
completely
Then you won't be slightly out of tune, you'll sing along with
me!


5.This Is All I Ask

Beautiful girls,
Walk a little slower,
When you walk by me!
Lingering sunsets,
Stay a little longer,
With the lonely sea!
Children everywhere,
When you shoot at bad men,
Shoot at me!
Take me to that strange enchanted land,
Grown-ups seldom understand!

Wandering rainbow,
Leave a bit of color,
For my heart to own!
Stars in the sky,
Make my wish come true,
Before the night has flown,
And let the music play, as long,
As there's a song to sing,
And i will stay younger than spring!

Wandering rainbow,
Leave a bit of color,
For my heart to own!
Stars in the sky,
Make my wish come true,
Before the night has flown . . .

And let the music play, as long,
As there's a song to sing,
And i will stay younger,
In every way younger,
Yes, i will stay younger than the spring!


6.Hawaiian Wedding Song(Ke Kali Nei Au)

Kaie a ahou
Kay kalli nei
Ahee ah ee aha
Cou alhoa!

This is the moment of sweet aloha!
I will love you longer than forever,
Promise me that you will leave me never . . .
Here and now dear,
All my love i vow dear,
Promise me that you will leave me never,
I will love you longer than forever!
Now that we are one ( my darling )
Clouds won't hide the sun ( my love )
Blue skies of hawaii,
Smile on this our wedding day!
I do ( i do )
Love you ( love you )
With all my heart!


7.Days Of Wine And Roses

The days of wine and roses,
Laugh and run away,
Like a child at play,
Through a meadowland,
Toward a closing door,
A door marked never more,
That wasn't there before.

The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!

The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!


8.Carnival(ManhÃDe Carnaval)

I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing &till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!

I'll sing as i play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?

Will true love come my way,
On this carnival day,
Or will i be alone with my dream?


9.My Coloring Book

If you admire coloring books,
And lots of people do,
I've a new one for you!
A most unusual coloring book,
The kind you never see,
Crayons ready, crayons set,
Begin to color me!

These are the eyes that watched her,
As she walked away,
Color them gray!

This is the heart,
That thought she would always be true,
Color it blue!

These are the arms that held her,
And touched her,
Then lost her somehow,
Color them empty now!

This is the tie, i wore,
Until you came between,
Color it green!

This is the room i sleep in, and walk in, and weep in,
And hide in, that nobody sees,
Color it lonely please!

This is the girl that once i depended upon,
Color her gone!


10.I Wanna Be Around

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Some somebody twice as smart as i!
A somebody who,
Will swear to be true,
Like you used to do with me,
Who will leave you to learn,
That misery loves company,
Wait and see!

I wanna be around to see how he does it,
When he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine!
And that's when i'll discover,
That revenge is sweet,
As i sit there applaudin'
From a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Like you broke mine!


11.When I Lost You

I lost the sunshine and roses,
I lost the heavens of blue,
I lost the beautiful rainbow,
I lost the morning dew.
I lost the angel who gave me,
Summer the whole winter through,
I lost the gladness, that turned into sadness,
When i lost you!


12.What Kind Of Fool Am I ?

What kind of fool am i, who never fell in love?
It seems that i'm the only one that i have been thinkin' of!
What kind of man is this, an empty shell?
A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell!

What kind of lips are these, that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can't i fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then i'll know what kind of fool i am!

Why can't i fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then i'll kno' what kind of fool i am!
