I am not such a clever one
About the latest fads I admit I was never one Adored by local lads Not that I ever try to be a saint I'm the type that they classify as quaint I'm old fashioned I love the moonlight I love the old fashioned things The sound of rain Upon a window pane The starry song that April sings This year's fancies Are passing fancies But sighing sighs holding hands These my heart understands I know I'm old fashioned But I don't mind it That's how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me (bridge) I'm old fashioned But I don't mind it That's how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me Oh please stay old fashioned with me |

Laura is the face in the misty lights
Footsteps that you hear down the hall The laugh that floats on a summer night That you can never quite recall And you see Laura on the train that is passing through Those eyes how familiar they seem She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura but she's only a dream <instrumental interlude> And you see Laura on the train that is passing through Those eyes how familiar they seem She gave your very first kiss to you That was Laura but she's only a dream |

Daydream, why do you haunt me so
Deep in a rosy glow The face of my love you showDaydream, I walk along on air Building a castle there For me and my love to shareDon't know the time, lordy I'm in a daze Sun in the sky, while I moon around, feeling, hazyDaydream, don't break my reverie Until I find that he, Is daydreaming just like meDaydreams, why do you haunt me so While I'm in this rosy glow Bring back my love Bring back my love Bring back my love To me |

I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time
In thinking such a thing could be That you could ever care for me I'm sure you hate to hear That I adore you, dear But grant me Just the same I'm not entirely to blame For love You'd be so easy to love So easy to idolize All others above So worth the yearning for So swell to keep every homefire burning for We'd be so grand at the game So carefree together That it does seem a shame That you can't see Your future with me 'Cause you'd be oh, so easy to love |

'Neath the stars, at bazaars
Often I've had to caress men Five or ten, dollars then, I'd collect from all those yes-men Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men Darling, can't you see? 'Twas for charity? Though these lips have made slips, it was never really serious Who'd have thought, I'd be brought to a state that's so delirious? I could cry salty tears Where have I been all these years? Little wow, tell me now How long has this been goin' on? There were chills up my spine And some thrills I can't define Listen sweet, I repeat How long has this been goin' on? Oh, I feel that I could melt Into heaven I'm hurled I know how Columbus felt Finding another world Kiss me once, then once more What a dunce I was before What a break, for heaven's sake How long has this been goin' on? (spoken) Kiss me twice, once more, thrice, make it four What a break, for heaven's sake How long has this been goin' on? |

Before I met you no one attracted me
No love thoughts worried or distracted me My disposition kept exempting me Until you started in preempting me And all this while, you've really been tempting me Maybe you can tell me what we ought to do Now that you've got me going, what you gonna do? Is it up to me? Is it up to you? What kind of game is this we've begun? Was it done, just for fun? We have necked, till I'm wrecked Won't you tell me what you expect? Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell? Folly and farewell Heaven or maybe hell Which is it going to be, love or gin? Wife or sin? Let's begin (bridge) We have necked, till I'm wrecked Won't you tell me what you expect? Is this to be a case of kiss and never tell? Folly and farewell Heaven or maybe hell Which is it going to be, love or gin? Wife or sin? Let's begin |

All the world's great lovers have been glorified
History placed them in a romantic set In between book covers they are side by side But the real thing hasn't been written yet Now it can be told Told in all its glory Now that we have met The world may know the sentimental story The greatest romance they ever knew Is waiting to Unfold Now it can be told As an inspiration Every other tale Of boy meets girl is just an imitation The great love story Has never been told before But now Now it can be told |

I'd like to get away, Junior
Somewhere alone with you It could be oh, so gay, Junior You need a laugh or two A certain place I know, Frankie Where funny people can have fun That's where the two will go, Darling Before you can count up One, two, three. For ... There's a small hotel With a wishing well I wish that we were there together There's a bridal suite One room bright and neat Complete for us to share together Looking through the window You can see a distant steeple Not a sign of people -- who wants people? When the steeple bell says, "Good night, sleep well," We'll thank the small hotel together We'll creep into our little shell And we will thank the small hotel together |

Do nothing till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream Is over my head Do nothing till you hear from me At least consider our romance If you should take the word of others you've heard I haven't a chance True, I've been seen with someone new But does that mean that I'm untrue? While we're apart, the words in my heart Reveal how I feel about you Some kiss may cloud my memory And other arms may hold a thrill But please do nothing till you hear it from me And you never will! |

Blow ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today You're blowin' me no good (no good) Go ill wind, go away Skies are oh so gray around my neighborhood, and that's no good You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin' Ain't that a shame It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up from out of nowhere, when love's to blame So ill wind, blow away Let me rest today You're blowin' me no good (no good) <musical interlude> You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin' Ain't that a shame It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up from out of nowhere, when love's to blame So ill wind, blow away Let me rest today You're blowin' me no good (no good) Blow, ill wind, blow. |

I love you which is easy to see
But I have to keep guessing how you feel about me You listen to the words that I speak But I feel that you listen with your tongue in your cheek You're laughing at me I can't get sentimental For you're laughing at me I know I want to be romantic but I haven't a chance You've got a sense of humor, and humor is death to romance You're laughing at me Why do you think it's funny When I say that I love you so? You've got me worried and I'm all at sea For while I'm crying for you You're laughing at me |

I don't know what day it is
Or if it's dark or fair Somehow, that's just the way it is And I don't really care I go to this or that place I seem alive and well My head is just a hat place My breast an empty shell And I've a faded dream to sell All alone, all at sea Why does nobody care for me? When there's no love to hold my love Why is my heart so frail? Like a ship without a sail. Out on the ocean, Sailors can use a chart I'm on the ocean Guided by just a lonely heart Still alone, still at sea Still there's no one to care for me When there's no hand to hold my hand Life is a loveless tale For a ship without a sail (Bridge) Still alone, still at sea Still there's no one to care for me When there's no hand to hold my hand Life is a loveless tale For a ship without a sail |

I'm trav'lin' light
Because my man has gone And from now on I'm trav'lin' light He said goodbye And took my heart away So from today I'm trav'lin' light No one to see I'm free as the breeze No one but me And my memories Some lucky night He may come back again But until then I'm trav'lin' light {instrumental break} No one to see I'm free as the breeze No one but me And my memories Some lucky night He may come back again But until then I'm trav'lin' light I'm trav'lin' light I'm trav'lin' light I'm trav'lin' light |

Somewhere, someday
We'll be close together, wait and see Oh by the way, This time the dream's on meYou take my hand and you look at me adoringly But as things stand This time the dream's on meIt would be fun To be certain that I'm the one To know that I, at least, supply the shoulder you cry uponTo see you through Till you're everything you want to be It can't be true, but This time the dream's on me It would be fun To be certain that I'm the one To know that I, at least, supply the shoulder you cry uponTo see you through Till you're everything you want to be It can't be true, but This time the dream's on me |
