Teddy Wilson Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Carelessly

CARELESSLY
Teddy Wilson featuring Billie Holiday
C. Kenny / N. Kenny / N. Ellis

How carelessly
You gave me your heart
And carelessly I broke it, sweetheart
I took each tender kiss you gave to me
Every kiss made you a slave to me

Then carelessly
I told you good-bye
But now at night I wake up and cry
I wish I knew a way to find the love
I threw away so carelessly


2.There's A Lull In My Life

There's A Lull In My Life
Teddy Wilson
Music and Lyrics by Harry Revel and Mack Gordon

Oh, there's a lull in my life.
It's just a void and empty space,
when you are not in my embrace.
Oh, there's a lull in my life.
The moment that you go away,
There is no night, there is no day.
The clock stops ticking
The world stops turning
Ev'rything stops but the flame in my heart
That keeps burning, burning oh, oh,
Oh, there's a lull in my life
No matter how I may pretend,
I know that you alone can end,
The ache in my heart,
The call of my arms,
The lull in my life.


3.These Foolish Things

THESE FOOLISH THINGS
Teddy Wilson with Billie Holiday

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces,
An airline ticket to romantic places,
A fairgrounds painted swings,
These foolish things remind me of you.

A tinkling piano in the next apartment,
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant,
And still my heart has wings.
These foolish things remind me of you.

You came, you saw, you conquered me.
When you did that to me, I knew somehow
It had to be.

The winds of March that make my heart a dancer,
A telephone that rings but who's to answer.
Oh, how the thought of you clings.
These foolish things remind me of you.


4.You Can't Stop Me From Dreaming

YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM DREAMING
Teddy Wilson

You can stop me from kissing you;
You can stop me from cuddling too;
You can treat me mean
Honey, that's all right, but
I'll get even with you tonight
'Cause you can't stop me from dreaming!

You can stop me from holding hands,
Make me listen to your commands,
You can say: 'No, no!' honey that's all right
But I'll get even with you tonight

'Cause you can't stop me from dreaming
From one o'clock till nine
I'll dream you're mine,
I'll steal a kiss
See what you're gonna miss

You can stop me romancing you,
You're the boss now but we're not through
You can turn me down, honey, that's all right
But I'll get even with you tonight,
'Cause you can't stop me from dreaming!


5.Sweet Lorraine

Lyricist:Cliff Burwell, Mitchell Parish

I've just found joy
I'm as happy as a baby boy
With another brand new choo-choo toy
When I'm with my sweet Lorraine

A pair of eyes
That are bluer than the summer skies
When you see them you will realize
Why I love my sweet Lorraine

When it's raining, I don't miss the sun
For it's in my sweetie's smile
Just to think that I'm the Lucy one
Who will lead her down the aisle

Each night I pray
That nobody steals her heart away
Just can't wait until that happy day
When I marry sweet Lorraine


6.Yours And Mine

Lyricist:Nacio Herb Brown, Arthur Freed

The stars that shine are yours and mine
The rainbows in the sky are yours and mine
The song of springtime, the lullaby of fall
The sunshine of summertime belongs to us all

The moon above is yours and mine
The right to fall in love is yours and mine
The hope of finding the dream our hearts desire
All this is yours and mine
