BLUE SKIES
Writer(s): Irving Berlin Blue skies, smilin' at me Nothin' but blues skies do I see Bluebirds singing a song Nothin' but bluebirds all day long Never saw the sun shinin' so bright Never saw things goin' so right Noticin' the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days, all of them gone Nothin' but blue skies from now on |

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, how I spend The lonely nights 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 And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale Tells his fairytale Of paradise, where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain. |

Like the beat beat bat of the tom tom
When the jungle shadows fall Like the tick tick tick of the stately clock as it stands against the wall Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops when the summer shower is thorugh so a voice within me keeps ing you you you.... Night and day, you are the one Only you beneath the moon and under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter darlin' where you are I think of you, night and day........ Day and night, why is it so? That this longing for you follows wherever I go? In the roaring traffic's boom, In the silence of my lonely room I think of you, night and day. Night and day - under the hide of me, There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me. And its torment won't be through Till you let me spend my life making love to you day and night, night and day....... Night and day, under the hide of me, There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me. And its torment won't be through Till you let me spend my life making love to you day and night, night and day....... |

Get in touch with that sundown fellow, as he tiptoes across the sand
He's got a million kinds of stardust, pick your fav'rite brand, and Dream, when you're feeling blue, dream, that's the thing to do Just watch the smoke rings in the air, you'll find your share of memories there So dream when the day is through, dream, and they might come true Things are never as bad as they seem, so dream, dream, dream |

There's a saying old says that love is blind Still we're often told, "Seek and ye shall find" So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found him yetHe's the big affair I cannot forget Only man I ever think of with regret I'd like to add his initial to my monogram Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?There's a somebody I'm longing to see I hope that he turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood I know I could always be good Someone who'll watch over meAlthough he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome To my heart he carries the key Won't you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead, oh, how I need Someone to watch over me |

Oh, it's a long, long while
from May to December But the days grow short when you reach September When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame And I haven't got time for the waiting game and the days dwindle down to a precious few September, November And these few precious days I'll spend with you These precious days I'll spend with you And the days dwindle down to a precious few September, November And these few precious days I'll spend with you These precious days I'll spend with you |

Before Lord God made the sea or the land He held all the stars in the palm of his hand And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand And one little star fell alone Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air For the little dark star in the wind down there And he stated and promised he'd take special care So it wouldn't get lost no more Now, a man don't mind if the stars get dim And the clouds blow over and darken him So long as the Lord God's watching over him Keeping track how it all goes on But I've been walking through the night and the day Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away Forgetting his promise and the word he'd say And we're lost out here in the stars Little stars big stars blowing through the night And we're lost out here in the stars Little stars big stars blowing through the night And we're lost out here in the stars |

The song a robin sings,
Through years of endless springs, The murmur of a brook at evening tides. That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide. That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, My heart and I agree, She's everything on this earth to me. That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, My heart and i agree, She's everything on this earth to me. |

Autumn in New York Why does it seem so exciting (inviting) Autumn in New York It spells the thrill of first-knighting Shimmering clouds - glimmering crowds (glittering crowds and shimmering clouds) In canyons of steel They're making me feel - I'm home |

Lover, when I'm near you, and I hear you - speak my name Softly, in my ear you - breathe a flame Lover, it's immoral, but why quarrel - with our bliss When, two lips of coral - want to kiss I say (that) the devil is in you, and to resists you - I try But if you didn't continue - I would die Lover, please be tender, when you're tender - fears depart Lover, I surrender - to my heart |

When they begin the beguine, it brings back the sound of music so tender, It brings back a night of tropical splendor, it brings back a memory ever green. I'm with you once more under the stars, and down by the shore an orchestra's playing Even the palms seem to be swaying, when they begin the beguine. To live it again is past all endeavor, except when that tune clutches my heart, And there we are, swearing to love forever, and promising never, never to part. What moments divine, what rapture serene, Till clouds come along to disperse the joys we had tasted, And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, I know but too well what they mean. So don't let them begin the beguine, let the love that was once a fire remain an ember; Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember when they begin the beguine. Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play, Till the stars that were there before return above you, Till you whisper to me once more, Darling, I love you! And we suddenly know what heaven we're in, when they begin the beguine When they begin the beguine. |

Hello young lovers who ever you are I hope your troubles are few All my good wishes go with you tonight I've been in love like you Be brave young lovers and follow your star Be brave and faithful and true Cling very close to each other tonight I've been in love like you I know how it feels to have wings on your heels And fly down the street in a trance You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet And you meet not really by chance Don't cry young lovers what ever you do Don't cry because I'm alone All of my memories are happy tonight I've had a love of my own I've had a love of my own like yours I've had a love of my own |

How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians Would be to capture me But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance I fell and it was swell I'm your big and brave and handsome Romeo How I won you I shall never never know It's not that you're attractive But, oh, my heart grew active When you came into view I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie All the day and night-time give me sigh I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush on you Could you coo, could you care For a cunning cottage That we could share The world will pardon my mush 'Cause I have got a crush, my baby, on you |
