Each place I go only the lonely go
Some little small cafe The songs I know only the lonely know Each melody recalls a love that used to be The dreams I dream only the lonely dream Of lips as warm as May That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care And you recall each fun time Those picnics at the beach when love was new It well could be the one time A hopeless little dream like that comes true If you find love hang on to each caress And never let love go For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness The heartbreak only the lonely know |

Hey drink up all you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The drink and the laughs on me Try to think that love's not around Still it's uncomfortably near My old heart ain't gaining any ground Because my angel eyes ain't here Angel eyes, that old Devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my love's mispent Mispent with angel eyes tonight So drink up all of you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The drink and the laughs on me Pardon me but I got to run The fact's uncommonly clear I got to find who's now the number one And why my angel eyes ain't here Excuse me while I disappear |

What's new? How is the world treating you? You haven't changed a bit Lovely as ever, I must admit What's new? How did that romance come through? We haven't met since then Gee, but it's nice to see you again What's new? Probably I'm boring you But seeing you is grand And you were sweet to offer your hand I understand. Adieu! Pardon my asking what's new Of course you couldn't know I haven't changed, I still love you so |

It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, I'm lonely, as I can be.
I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see. It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, How I wish you'd come back to me. (musical interlude) I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see. It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, How I wish you'd come back to me. How I wish you'd come back to me. |

Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me Gone my lovers dream Lovely summer dream Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide its starry light So none will see me sighing and crying all alone Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me Oh, Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me |

I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you I'll never forget how we promised one day To love one another forever that way We said we'd never say, "Good-bye" But that was long ago Now you've forgotten, I know No use to wonder why Let's say farewell with a sigh Let love die But we'll go on living Our own way of living So you take the high road and I'll take the low It's time that we parted It's much better so But kiss me as you go Good-bye... |

My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants My mama done tol' me, "Son a woman'll sweet talk" And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done A woman's a two-face, A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, "Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, "Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' and the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in the night Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song, he knows things are wrong, and he's right From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night My mama was right, there's blues in the night. |

The torch I carry is handsome
It's worth its heartache in ransom and when that twilight steals I know how the lady in the harbor feels When I want rain, I get sunny weather I'm just as blue as the sky Since love has gone... can't pull myself together Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Friend ask me out... I tell them I'm busy I've must get a new alibi I stay around at home, and ask myself: who is he? Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops hanging on a stream of dreams Fly little memories, my little memories Remind me of our crazy schemes Somebody says, just forget about her So I gave that treatment a try Strangely enough, I got along without her Then one day she passed me right by - oh well I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry |

Once there was a thing called spring,
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine. All the lads and girls would sing, When we sat at little tables and drank May wine. Now April, May, and June are sadly out of tune, life has stuck a pin in the balloon. Spring 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 because nobody needs me? Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me? Stars appear! Why doesn't the night invite me? Maybe it's because nobody loves me, spring is here, I hear! |

Gone with the wind, just like a leaf that has blown away.
Gone with the wind, my romance has flown away. Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips, I had a lifetime of heaven on my fingertips. But now all is gone, gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart. Just like a flame, love burned brightly Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone, Gone with the wind. |

It's quarter to 3
Theres no one in the place Except you and me. So set em' up, Joe I got a little story I think you should know. We're drinkin' my friends to the end of a brief episode. Make it one for my baby and one more for the road I got the routine Put another nickel in the machine Feelin' so bad Can't you make the music Easy and sad. I could tell you a lot but you've gotta be True to your code Just make it one for my baby and one more for the road You'd never know it But buddy I'm a kind of poet And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say And when I'm gloomy Won't you listen to me Till' its talked away? Well, thats how it goes And Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close. And thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear. But this torch that I've found It's gotta be drowned Or it soon might explode. So make it one for my baby and one more for the road The long, it's so long... The long, very long... |

Sleep warm, sleep tight, when you turn off the light,
Sleep warm, sleep well, my love. Rest your head on your pillow, what a lucky pillow, Close to you, so close to you all night. Sleep warm, sleep well, let dreams within you dwell, Sweet dreams of me, my love. Close your eyes now and kiss me, and whisper you miss me, Sleep tight, sleep well, sleep warm. |

When you're awake the things you think
Come from the dream you dream Thought has wings, and lots of things Are seldom what they seem Sometimes you think you've lived before All that you live today Things you do come back to you As though they knew the way Oh the tricks your mind can play It seems we stood and talked like this, before We looked at each other in the same way then But I can't remember where or when The clothes you are wearing are the clothes you wore The smile you are smiling you were smiling then But I can't remember where or when Some things that happened for the first time Seem to be happening again And so it seems that we have met before And laughed before, and loved before But who knows where or when. |
