You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply, As time goes by . . . An' when two lovers woo, they still say "I love you," On that you can rely, no matter what the future brings, As time goes by . . . Moonlight an' love songs never out of date, Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' hate, Woman needs man and man must have his mate, That no one can deny . . . It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory, A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers, As time goes by . . . < instrumental verse three > It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory, A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers, As time goes by . . . |

I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life, I'm in love . . . I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go, Anytime I move my finger, lucky me, can't you see? I'm in love . . . Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string, I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go . . . I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow, Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world, I'm in love . . . ( instrumental repeat of verse ) . . . what a world, what a life, I'm in love . . . ( instrumental repeat of verse ) . . . lucky me, can't you see? That I'm in love . . . Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string, I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go . . . Oh! I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow, Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life, I'm really in love . . . |

My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine,
You make me smile with my heart, Your looks are laughable, un-photographical, Yet you're my favourite work of art . . . Is your figure less than Greek ? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak, are you smiling? But don't change a hair for me, Not if you care for me. Stay little valentine, stay! Each day is Valentine's Day . . . Each day is Valentine's Day . . . ~ featured in the 1955 Hollywood musical "Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" Music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart, 1937 Arranged by Joe Lipman |

I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to feel low-down,
I gotta right t' hang around, down around the river . . . A certain gal in this ol' town, keeps draggin' my poor heart around, All I see for me, is misery . . . I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to moan and sigh, I gotta right to sit and cry, down around the river . . . I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me, It must be love, say what you choose, I gotta right to sing the blues! ( doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo ) ( He's gotta right to sing the blues ) I gotta right to sing the blues! ( He's gotta right to moan and sigh ) I gotta right t' moan and sigh! ( He's gotta right to sit an' cry ) sit an' cryin' down along the river! I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me, It must be love, say what you choose, I gotta right to sing the blues . . . the blues, I gotta right ( the right! ) tonight ( tonight! ) I gotta right to sing the blues! ( doo doo, doo doo, doo wah! ) Music by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Ted Koehler, 1932 |

I'm just breezin' along with the breeze,
Trailing the rails, I'm a roamin' the seas. Like the birdies that sing in the trees, Pleasin' to live, livin' to please. The sky is the only roof I have over my head, And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed. I'm just goin' along as I please, Breezin' along with the breeze. < instrumental repeat of verse > The sky is the only roof I have over my head, And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed. I'm just goin' along as I please, Breezin' along with the breeze. Words and Music by Haven Gillespie, Seymour Simons and Richard Whiting, 1926 |

I can't show my face,
Can't go anyplace, People stop an' stare, It's so hard to bare, Everybody knows you left me, It's the talk of the town . . . Every time we meet, My heart skips a beat, We don't stop to speak, 'Though it's just a week, Everybody knows you left me, It's the talk of the town . . . We send out invitations, To friends and relations, Announcing our weddin' day Friends and our relations, Gave congratulations, How can you face them? What can you say? Let's make up sweetheart, We can't stay apart, Don't let foolish pride, Keep you from my side, How can love like ours be ended? It's the talk of the town . . . < instrumental repeat of verse > How can you face them? What can you say? Let's make up sweetheart, We can't stay apart, Don't let foolish pride, Keep you from my side, How can love like ours be ended? It's the talk of the town . . . hmm It's the talk of the town. |

You do somethin' to me,
Somethin' that simply mystifies me, Tell me, why should it be? You have the power to hypnotize me . . . Let me live 'neath your spell, Do do that 'voodoo' that you do so well! For you do somethin' to me, That nobody else could do! You . . . do . . . somethin' to me, Somethin' that simply mystifies me, Tell . . . me . . . why should it be? You have the power to hypnotize me . . . Let me live 'neath your spell, Do do that 'voodoo' that you do so well! For you do somethin' to me, That nobody else could do! That nobody else could do . . .

It happened in monterey, a long time ago,
I met her in monterey, in ol' mexico. Stars an' steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine, Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine. It happened in monterey, without thinkin' twice, I left her an' threw away the key to paradise. My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart, That I left in ol' monterey! ( it happened in monterey, a long time ago, He met her in monterey, in old mexico. ) Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine, Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine. ( it happened in monterey, without thinking twice ) I left her an' threw away the key to paradise. My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart, That I left in ol' monterey! |

It's a quarter t' three,
There's no one in the place except you an' me. So, set 'em up joe, I've got a little story that you otta kno. We're drinkin' my friend, t' the end of a brief episode, Make it one for ma baby an' one more for the road . . . I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine, I'm feelin' so bad, I wish you'd make the music dreamy an' sad, Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your 'code' Make it one for ma baby, one more for the road . . . You'd never kno' it, but buddy, I'm kind of a poet, And I've got a lot of things to say. And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me, Until it's talked away . . . Well, that's how it goes, and joe I kno' you're gettin' anxious t' close, So thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear . . . This torch that I've found, must be drowned or it soon will explode, Make it one for ma baby, an' one more for the road . . . That long, long road! |

( Do you love me? Do you love me? )
In the still of the night, as I gaze from my window, At the moon in it's flight, my thoughts all stray to you . . . In the still of the night, while the world is in slumber, Oh the times without number, Darling when I say to you, "Do you love me, as I love you? Are you my life to be, my dreams come true? ( Will you be my dream come true? ) Or, will this dream of mine fade out of sight?" Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill, In the chill, still of the night . . . ( Do you love me? ) ( Do you love me? ) In the still of the night . . . Words and Music by Cole Porter Arranged by Joe Lipman |

Your sweet expression, the smile you gave me,
The way you looked when we met, It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget! I hear you whisper, "I'll always love you," I know it's over, and yet, It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget! So I must dream to have your hand caress me, Fingers press me tight, I'd rather dream than have that lonely feelin' Stealing through the night! Each little moment is clear before me, And though it brings me regret, It's easy to remember, and so hard to forget! < instrumental break > ( hmmmmmm ) It's easy to remember, and so hard to forget! Music by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Lorenz Hart 1935 |

Kiss me, kiss me baby,
That's what I like! Hold me, hug me, pet me baby, That's what I like! You don't have to give me, Clever conversation! I just want affection, Not an education! Kiss me, hold me, hug me baby, That's what I like you to do! Love me, love me, Love me baby too! Words and Music by Mae Boren Axton and Glenn Reeves |

Honey, honey, bless your heart,
You're the honey that I love so well! I'd die for you, if you'd only be true, You're the honey that I love so well Moon shinin' bright, up in the sky, Looks down on me and I know why, Even the stars up in the blue, Seem to be shinin' for no one but you! < instrumental break > Honey, honey, bless your heart, You're the honey that I love so well! I'd die for you, if you'd only be true, You're the honey that I love so well |

Angry, please don't be angry,
'Cause I was only teasing you! I wouldn't even let you think of leavin' Don't you know I love you true! Just because I took a look at somebody else, That's no reason you should put poor me on the shelf! Angry, please don't be angry, 'Cause I was only teasing you! Don't believe a thing you hear, just wait 'till you see, Then you'll find no cause to show that you're jealous of me! Oh! Angry, please don't be angry, 'Cause I was only teasing you! Music by Henry Brunies and Jules Cassard with lyrics by Dudley Mecum, 1925 |

The way you wear your hat,
The way you sip your tea, The mem'ry of all that, No, no! They can't take that away from me! The way your smile just beams, The way you sing off-key, The way you haunt my dreams, No, no! They can't take that away from me! We may never, never, meet again, On the bumpy road to love, Still, I'll always, always, keep the mem'ry of . . . The way you you hold your knife, The way we danced 'till three, The way you changed my life, No, no! They can't take that away from me! No, they can't take that away from me! < instrumental break > The way you you hold your knife, The way we danced 'till three, The way you changed my life, No, no! They can't take that away from me! No, they can't take that away, 'Cause I think you're here to stay, No, they can't take that away . . . from me! |

I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did!
I never dreamed it could be, Yet there you were, in love with me. I found your lips close to mine, so I kissed you, And you didn't mind it at all! When I'm awake, such a break never happens, How long can a guy go on dreamin' ? If there's a chance that you care, then please, Say you do Baby! Say it and make my craziest dream come true. Music by Harry Warren with lyrics by Mack Gordon , 1942 |

Sleepy time gal,
You're turnin' night into day! Sleepy time gal, You've danced the ev'ning away! Before each silvery star fades out of sight, Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "Goodnight," It's gettin' late and, Dear, your pillow's waitin' . . . Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is through, Sleepy time gal, I'll find a cottage for you. You'll learn to cook and to sew, What's more, you'll love it, I know! When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home, Eight o'clock sleepy time gal! < instrumental repeat of verse > You'll learn to cook and to sew, What's more, you'll love it, I know! When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home, Eight o'clock sleepy time gal! Music by Ange Lorenzo and Richard A. Whiting with lyrics by Joseph R. Alden and Raymond B. Egan, 1925 |
