Said it is only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me. Say it is only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me. Without your love, It's a honky-tonk parade. Without your love, It's a melody played in a penny arcade.It's a barnum and bailey world, Just as phony as it can be, But it wouldn't be make believe If you believed in me. ~interlude~ Without your love, It's a honky-tonk parade.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like eskimos Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys And goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so, I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although its been said Many times, many ways Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to.. You! |

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was heAnd then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me The greatest thing youll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return The greatest thing youll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return |

I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life To get the feel of life... From jazz and cocktails.The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces With distant gay traces That used to be there you could see where theyd been washed awayBy too many through the day... Twelve oclock tales.Then you came along with your siren of song To tempt me to madness! I thought for a while that your poignant smile was tinged with the sadness Of a great love for me.Ah yes! I was wrong... Again, I was wrong.Life is lonely again, And only last year everything seemed so sure. Now life is awful again, A troughful of hearts could only be a bore. A week in paris will ease the bite of it, All I care is to smile in spite of it.Ill forget you, I will While yet you are still burning inside my brain. Romance is mush, Stifling those who strive. Ill live a lush life in some small dive... And there Ill be, while I rot With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too.. |

But here is bad, one dollar buy Cup of coffee, ham on rye. Me throat she sick from necktie, Me feet hurt from shoes. Me pocket full of empty, I got calypso blues. Dese yankee girl give me big scare, Is black de root, is blonde de hair. Her eyelash false, her face is paint, And pads are where de girl she ain't! She jitterbug when she should waltz, I even think her name is false. But calypso girl is good a lot, Is what you see, is what she got.

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa Men have named you You're so like the lady with the mystic smile Is it only cause you're lonely They have blamed you For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smileDo you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa Or is this your way to hide a broken heart Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep They just lie there, and they die there Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa |

I was walking along, minding my business When out of an orange-colored sky Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Wonderful you came by I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine When out of that orange-colored view Wham! Bam! Alakazam! I got a look at you One look and I yelled "Timber" "Watch out for flying glass" 'Cause the ceiling fell and the bottom fell out I went into a spin and I started to shout, "I've been hit, This is it, This is it!" I was walking along minding my business When love came and hit me in the eye Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Out of an orange-colored sky. |

They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love They say that love's a word A word we've only heard But can't begin to know the meaning of And yet we're not too young to know This love will last though years may go And then some day they may recall We were not too young at all And yet we're not too young to know This love will last though years may go And then some day they may recall We were not too young at all |

Gee, it's great after bein' out late
Walkin' my baby back home Arm in arm over meadow and farm Walkin' my baby back homeWe go 'long harmonizing a song Or I'm recitin' a poem Owls go by and they give me the eye Walkin' my baby back homeWe stop for a while, she gives me a smile And snuggles her head on my chest We start in to pet and that's when I get Her talcum all over my vestAfter I kinda straighten my tie She has to borrow my comb Once kiss then I continue again Walkin' my baby back home She's 'fraid of the dark so I have to park Outside of her door till it's light She says if I try to kiss her she'll cry I dry her tears all through the nightHand in hand to a barbecue stand Right from her doorway we roam Eats and then it's a pleasure again Walkin' my baby Talkin' my baby Lovin' my baby I don't mean maybe Walkin' my baby back home |

Blue gardenia
Now I'm alone with you And I am, oh, so blue She has tossed us aside And like you, gardenia Once I was near her heart After the teardrops start Where are teardrops to hide? I lived for an hour What more can I tell Love bloomed like a flower Then the petals fell Blue gardenia Thrown to a passing breeze But rest in my book Of memories I lived for an hour What more can I tell Love bloomed like a flower Then the petals fell Blue gardenia Thrown to a passing breeze But rest in my book Of memories |

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile <instrumental interlude> That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying?

-peak Billboard position # 23 in 1955 -Words and Music by Hal Hester and Barry Parker If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me There's a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea And it cries "Come to me, come to me." As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore You are here in my arms for a moment or more Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea And it cries "Come to me, come to me." But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully As long as there's heaven up above Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea As long as there's time I'll wait hopefully As long as there's heaven up above Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me |

It settled softly on the lips you turned to me The gypsies say and I know why ""A falling blossom only touches lips that lie""A blossom fell and very soon I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon I thought you loved me, you said you loved me We planned together to dream forever The dream has ended, for true love died The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that liedA blossom fell and very soon I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon I thought you loved me, you said you loved me We planned together to dream forever The dream has ended, for true love died The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied |

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely night dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Beside a garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale A paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain |

Always wanting What is not. (Nat Sings:) Wild is love Whenever two hearts meet, Wild is love, Bitter, but oh so sweet. And I know I must go Wherever love takes me, Whatever love makes me, I will be! Like a fire Burning beyond control, Wild is love Deep in my heart and soul And though wild as the wind And wild as the rolling sea, Nothing could ever be As wild as love. ~interlude~ And I know I must go Wherever love takes me, Whatever love makes me, I will be! ~interlude~ And though wild is the wind And wild is the rolling sea, Nothing could ever be As wild as love... As wild as love... As wild as love... As wild is love! |
