We've played the game of 'stay away'
But it costs more than I can pay Without you I can't make my way I surrender, dear. I may seem proud and I may act gay That's just a pose, I'm not that way. Cause deep down in my heart I say, I surrender, dear. Those little mean things we were doing Must have been part of the game Lending a spice to the wooing Oh, but I don't care who's to blame When stars appear and shadows fall Then you'll hear my poor heart call To you my love, my life, my all I surrender, dear ------ instrumental break ------ Oh, to you my love, my life, my all I surrender, dear |

When skies are cloudy and gray,
They're only gray for a day, So wrap your troubles in dreams, And dream your troubles away. Until that sunshine peeps thru, There's only one thing to do, Just wrap your troubles in dreams, And dream your troubles away. Your castles may tumble, That's Fate after all, Life's really funny that way. No use to grumble, Just smile as they fall, Weren't you King for a day? Say! Just remember that sunshine Always follows the rain, So wrap your troubles in dreams, And dream your troubles away. |

You came to me
From out of nowhere. You took my heart And found it free. Wonderful dreams Wonderful schemes From nowhere Made every hour Sweet as a flower to me. And if you should go Back to your nowhere Leaving me with a memory. I'll always wait for your return Out of nowhere Hoping you'll bring your love to me. When I least expected Kindly fate directed You to make each dream of mine come true. And if it's clear or raining There is no explaining Things just happen and so did you. You came to me from out of nowhere You took my heart and you found it free. Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhere Made every hour sweet as a flower to me. And if you should go back to your nowhere Leaving me with -- with my memory. I'll always wait for your return Out of nowhere Hoping you'll bring your love to me. |

Just one more chance
To prove it's you alone I care for Each night I say a little prayer for Just one more chance Just one more night To taste the kisses that enchant me I'd want no others if you'd grant me Just one more chance I've learned the meaning of repentance Now you're the jury at my trial I know that I should serve my sentence Still, I'm hoping all the while You'll give me Just one more word I said that I was glad to start out But now I'm back to cry my heart out For just one more chance We spend our lives in groping for happiness I found it once and tossed it aside I paid for it with hours of loneliness I've nothing to hide I'd bury my pride for... (mmm-bo-ba-ba-boo) --- whistling --- Just one more chance (mmm-bo-ba-ba-boo) --- whistling --- Just one more chance I've learned the meaning of repentance Now you're the jury at my trial I know that I should serve my sentence Still, I'm hoping all the while You'll give me Just one more word I said that I was glad to start out But now I'm back to cry my heart out For just one more chance |

I have given you my true love,
But you love a new love. What am I supposed to do now With you now, you're through? You'll be on your merry way And there's only this to say: I'm through with love I'll never fall again. Said adieu to love Don't ever call again. For I must have you or no one And so I'm through with love. I've locked my heart I'll keep my feelings there. I have stocked my heart with icy, frigid air. And I mean to care for no one Because I'm through with love. Why did you lead me to think you could care? You didn't need me for you had your share of slaves around you to hound you and swear with deep emotion and devotion to you. Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It can never bring the thing that used to be. For I must have you or no one And so I'm through with love. Why did you lead me to think you could care? You didn't need me for you had your share of slaves around you to hound you and swear with deep emotion and devotion to you.

It was a lucky April shower
It was the most convenient door I found a million dollar baby In a five and ten cent store. The rain continued for an hour. I hung around for three or four. Around a million dollar baby In a five and ten cent store. She was selling china And when she made those eyes, I kept buying china Until the crowd got wise. Incidently If you should run into a shower, Just step inside my cottage door, And meet the million dollar baby From the five and ten cent store. Love comes along like a popular song Any time or anywhere at all. Rain or sunshine Spring or fall. Say, you'll never know when it may say hello In a very unexpected place. For example, take my case. (Bing scats.) She was selling china And when she made those eyes I kept buying china until the crowd got wise. Incidently If you should run into a shower Oh, step inside my cottage door And meet my million dollar baby From the five and ten cent store. |

Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day Someone waits for me And the gold of her hair Crowns the blue of her eyes Like a halo, tenderly If only I could see her Oh how happy I would be Where the blue of the night Meets the gold of the day Someone waits for me (Bing whistles) Where the blue of the night Meets the gold of the day Someone waits for me |

She just got here yesterday,
Things are hot here now they say, There's a new gal in town. Gals are jealous, there's no doubt. All the guys just rave about Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown. And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown. Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown. They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown, I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!). It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town. Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down. Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met. Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown. All you gals will get the blues, All you pals will surely lose. And, there's but one excuse. Now I've told you who she was, And I've told you what she does, Still, give this gal her dues. This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown. Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown. They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown, I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!). All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down. Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats. Oh boy, ain't she the cats? Who's that mister, ain't her sister, it's Sweet Georgia Brown. |

They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob When there was earth to plow or guns to bear I was always there right on the job They used to tell me I was building a dream With peace and glory ahead Why should I be standing in line Just waiting for bread? Once I built a railroad, I made it run Made it race against time Once I built a railroad, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower up to the Sun Brick and rivet and lime Once I built a tower, now it's done Brother, can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell And I was the kid with the drum Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al" It was "Al" all the time Why don't you remember, I'm your pal Say, buddy, can you spare a dime? Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell And I was the kid with the drum Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me "Al" It was "Al" all the time Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal Buddy, can you spare a dime? |

Merry month of may, sunny skies of blue,
clouds have rolled away and the sun peeps thru, May express happiness, joy you may define in a thousand ways, but a case like mine needs a "special phrase" to reveal how I feel. I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow, Got the string around my finger,, What a world, what a life, I'm in love! I've 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 the string, I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let go, I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow, Got the string around my finger, What a world, what a life, I'm in love.

Blue nights and you
Alone with me. My heart has never known such ecstasy. Am I on earth? Am I in Heaven? Can it be the trees That fill the breeze With rare and magic perfume? Oh no, it isn't the trees It's love in bloom. Can it be the spring That seems to bring The stars right into this room Oh no, it isn't the spring Its love in bloom. My heart was a desert You planted a seed And this is the flower This hour of sweet fullfillment. Is it all a dream, a joy supreme That came to us in the gloom? You know it isn't a dream It's love in bloom. My heart was a desert But you planted a seed And this is the flower This hour of sweet fullfillment. Is it all a dream, a joy supreme That came to us in the gloom? You know it isn't a dream It's love in bloom. |

A clouded moon creeps across the clouded sky
Winds of January sigh and moan And yet it's June. I can see a sky of blue Dear the miracle is due to you. Just you. It's June in January Because I'm in love It always is spring in my heart with you in my arms. The snow is just white blossoms that fall from above. And here is the reason, my dear, Your magical charms. The night is cold The trees are bare But I can feel the scent of roses in the air. It's June in January Because I'm in love. But only because I'm in love with you. Oh the night is cold! Won't it be to bear? |

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 feeling Stealing through the night Each little moment Is clear before me And though it brings me regret It's easy to remember But so hard to forget |

A long time ago
A million years BC The best things in life Were absolutely free. But no one appreciated A sky that was always blue. And no one congratulated A moon that was always new. So it was planned that they would vanish now and them And you must pay before you get them back again. That's what storms were made for And you shouldn't be afraid for Every time it rains it rains Pennies from heaven. Don't you know each cloud contains Pennies from heaven. You'll find yor fortune falling All over town. Be sure that your umbrella is upside down. Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers. If you want the things you love You must have showers. So when you hear it thunder Don't run under a tree. There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me. |

Out of the darkness you suddenly appeared
You smiled and I was taken by surprise I guess I should have seen right through you But the moon got in my eyes I was so thrilled by the love you volunteered, I gave my heart without a compromise I guess you don't remember, do you? When the moon got in my eyes I thought a kingdom was in sight That I would have the right to claim But with the morning's early light I didn't have a dream to my name You know the saying that all who love are blind; It seems that ancient adage still applies. I guess I should have seen right through you, But the moon got in my eyes |

Do you remember one September afternoon
I stood with you and listened to a wedding tune, And didn't I go with you on your honeymoon? Remember me? Do you recall a cottage small upon a hill Where ev'ry day I had to pay another bill? And if I'm not mistaken, dear, I pay them still Remember me? I can see that little angel on your knee Can't you see, He kinda sorta looks like me For I'm the boy whose only joy is loving you Who worries till he hurries home when day is thru And I'm the guy you give you goodnight kisses to Remember me? |

Happiness comes with success
And that I guess is true But success is more or less A point of view I'm no millionaire But I'm not the type to care 'Cause I've got a pocketful of dreams It's my universe Even with an empty purse 'Cause I've got a pocketful of dreams I wouldn't take the wealth of Wall Street For a road where nature trods And I calculate that I'm worth my weight In goldenrods Lucky, lucky me I can live in luxury 'Cause I've got a pocketful of dreams |

Down where the trade winds play
Down where you lose the day We found a new world where paradise starts We traded high way down where the trade winds play Music was everywhere, flowers were in her hair Under an awning of silvery boughs We traded vows the night that I sailed away Oh trade winds, what are vows that lovers make Oh trade winds, are they only made to break When it is May again, I'll sail away again Though I'm returning, it won't be the same She traded her name way down where the trade winds play |

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone Where in dreams I live with a memory Beneath the stars all alone It was there I found beside the Alamo Enchantment strange as the blue up above A moonlit pass that only she would know Still hears my broken song of love Moon in all your splendor know only my heart Call back my rose, rose of San Antone Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart Speak once again of my love, my own. Broken song, empty words I know Still live in my heart all alone For that moonlit pass by the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone Deep within my heart lies a melody, A song of old San Antone Where in dreams I live with a memory Beneath the stars all alone It was there I found beside the Alamo Enchantment strange as the blue up above A moonlit pass that only she would know Still hears my broken song of love Moon in all your splendor know only my heart Call back my rose, rose of San Antone Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart Speak once again of my love, my own.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you and make you happy, If you will only say the same. But if you leave me and love another, You'll regret it all some day: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You told me once, dear, you really loved me And no one else could come between. But not you've left me and you love another You have shattered all of my dreams You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away |

And I'm leav-in' to-day, 'Cause I'm takin' a trip Cal-i-for-nia way I'm gon-na set-tle down and nev-er more roam And make the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL0LEY my home. I'll for-get my sins, I'll be mak-in' new friends, Where the West be-gins And the sun-set ends, 'Cause I've de-cid-ed where "yours tru-ly" should be And it's the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL-LEY for me I think that I'm safe in stat-in' {She - He} will be wait-in' When my lone-ly jour-ney is done- And kind-ly old Rev-'rend Thomas Made us a pro-mise He will make the two of us one. So, I'm hit-tin' the trail To the cow coun-try. You can for-ward my mail Care of R.F.D. I'm gon-na set-tle down and nev-er more roam And make the SAN FER-NAN-DO VAL-LEY my home |

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a mule? A mule is an animal with long funny ears He kicks up at anything he hears His back is brawny but his brain is weak He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak And by the way, if you hate to go to school You may grow up to be a mule Or would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a pig? A pig is an animal with dirt on his face His shoes are a terrible disgrace He's got no manners when he eats his food He's fat and lazy and extremely rude But if you don't care a feather or a fig You may grow up to be a pig Or would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a fish? A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a book To fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a fish And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo Everyday you'll meet quite a few So you see it's all up to you You can be better than you are You could be swingin' on a star |

"I love you,"
Hums the April breeze "I love you," Echo the hills "I love you," The golden dawn agrees As once more she sees Daffodils It's spring again And birds on the wing again Start to sing again The old melody I love you That's the song of songs And it all belongs To you and me It's spring again And birds on the wing again Start to sing again The old melody I love you That's the song of songs And it all belongs To you and me |

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through In that small cafe, the park across the way The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the mornin' sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you I'll find you in the mornin' sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you |

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Hush now, don't you cry. Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, That's an Irish lullaby. (verse) Over in Killarney, many years ago, My mother sang a song to me in tones so soft and low. Just a simple little ditty in her good old Irish way. And I'd give the world if I could hear that song of hers today. ( ) |

Now and forever And our love had its start Not long ago We were gathering stars while a million guitars played our love song When I said "I love you", every beat of my heart said it, too 'twas a moment like this Do you remember? And your eyes threw a kiss When they met mine Now we own all the stars and a million guitars are still playing Darling, you are the song and you'll always belong to my heart 'twas a moment like this Do you remember? And your eyes threw a kiss When they met mine Now we own all the stars and a million guitars are still playing Darling, you are the song and you'll always belong to my heart |

We'll be close as pages in a book
My love and I So close, we can share a single look Share every sigh So close that before I hear your laugh My laugh breaks through And when a tear starts to appear My eyes grow misty too Our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground We'll hold them fast Darling as the strongest book is bound We're bound to last Your life is my life And while life beats away in my heart We'll be close as pages in a book Never to part Your life is my life And while life beats away in my heart We'll be close as pages in a book Never to part |

Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again. It's been a long, long time. Haven't felt like this, my dear Since I can't remember when. It's been a long, long time You'll never know how many dreams I've dreamed about you. Or just how empty they all seemed without you. So kiss me once, then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again. It's been a long, long time. Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice Then kiss me once again. It's been a long time. Haven't felt like this my dear Since I can't remember when It's been a long, long time. |

I can't begin to tell you how much you mean to me
My world would end if ever we were through I can't begin to tell you how happy I would be If I could speak my mind like others do I make such pretty speeches Whenever we're apart But when you're near, the words I choose Refuse to leave my heart So take the sweetest phrases the world has ever known And make believe I've said 'em all to you I make such pretty speeches Whenever we're apart But when you're near, the words I choose Refuse to leave my heart So take the sweetest phrases the world has ever known And make believe I've said 'em all to you |

Now is the hour
When we must say goodbye. Soon you'll be sailing Far across the sea. While you're away Oh, then, remember me. When you return You'll find me waiting here. Sunset glow fades in the west. Night o'er the valley is creeping. Birds cuddle down in their nest Soon all the world will be sleeping. Now is the hour When we must goodbye. Soon you'll be sailing Far across the sea. While you're away Oh, then, remember me. When you return You'll find me waiting here. |

Here's a happy tune you'll love to croon
They call it Sam's song It's catchy as can be, the melody They call it Sam's song Nothing on your mind And then you'll find you're humming Sam's Song Why, it makes you grin Gets under your skin as only a song can do People that you meet out on the street All whistling Sam's Song Everyone you see will soon agree that it's a grand song So forget your troubles and wear a smile You'll find you never go wrong If you learn to croon this happy tune They call it Sam's song "And now another treatment of this Classic American Theme Brought to you by, Mr. Gary Crosby" Here's a happy tune (That'll bring you a smile all the while) (When you croon it you're really in style) And the title is Sam's Song It's catchy as can be (With a sly little beat) (And the melody sweet keeps you tapping your feet) And the title is Sam's Song Nothing on your mind (But the news of the day) (And the bills you must pay keep your hair turning gray) (But you're still humming Sam's Song) "Are you alright" "How's your brace" (Why, it makes you grin) (Gets under your skin as only a song can do) People that you meet (Hello Joe, what you know) (And remind me to Moe, tell him business is slow) (But I'm whistling) Sam's Song Everyone you see (Has a story to tell or a gimmick to sell) (But agree that it's swell) (And it's really) A grand song So forget your troubles and wear a smile You'll find you never go wrong If you learn to croon Like a lark in the park Who is making his mark serenading the dark With a (Chorus) of Sam's song If you learn to croon the happy tune They call it Sam's song |

The falling leaves Drift by the window The autumn leaves Of red and gold I see your lips The summer kisses The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away The days grow long And soon I'll hear Old winter's song But I miss you most of all My darling When autumn leaves Start to fall |
