"If you were mine
I could be a ruler of kings And if you were mine I could do such wonderful things I'd say to the stars 'Stop where you are Light up my lover's way' And every star above you would obey If you were mine I would live for your love alone To kneel at your shrine I would give up all that I own Yes, even my heart Even my life I'd trade it all for you And think I was lucky too If you were mine" |

Al Dubin / Harry Warren
You told me that I was like an angel Told me I was fit to wear a crown So that you could get a thrill You put me on a pedestal And then you let me down, let me down. You told me that I'd be wearing diamonds I would have the smartest car in town Made me think that I'm the top And then you let the ladder drop You know you let me down, let me down I walked upon a rainbow I clung onto a star You had me up in heaven That's why I had to tall so far I was even looking for a cottage I was measured for a wedding gown That how I got cynical You put me on a pinnacle And then you let me down, let me down How you let me down |

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places Still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumblin'words That told you what my heart meant A fair ground painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of march that made my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you |

Arthur Freed / Gus Arnheim / Abe Lyman
I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me Every road has a turning That's one thing you're learning I cried for you What a fool I used to be Now I've found two eyes Just a little bit bluer I've found a heart Just a little bit truer I cried for you Now it's your turn to cry over me |

Harry Tobias / Ingraham
No regrets Although our love affair has gone astray No regrets I know I'll always care though you're away So now our happy romance ended suddenly Still in my heart you'll be forever mine No regrets Because somebody new looks good to you No regrets Sweetheart no matter what you say or do I know our love will linger When the other love forgets So I say goodbye with no regrets No regrets Because somebody new looks good to you No regrets Sweetheart no matter what you say or do I know our love will linger When the other love forgets So I say goodbye with no regrets |

Oh, every time it rains
It rains Pennies from heaven Don't you know Each cloud contains Pennies from heaven You'll find your fortune fallin' 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 |

When love will come along
Then so suddenly life turns out to be a song One never knows, does one The moment or the place Then right before your eyes Someone occupies your embrace Someday look and you'll find Two hearts were blest Someday fate may be kind Pray for the future Hope for the best One never knows, does one That's just the way it goes All at once you hear Hold me. Caress me and then Love may come But when one never knows Someday look and you'll find Two hearts were blest Someday fate may be kind Pray for the future Hope for the best One never knows, does one That's just the way it goes All at once you hear Hold me. Caress me and then Love may come But when one never knows Just one |

Don't want my manny I don't need a friend My heart is broken It won't ever mend I ain't much carin' Just where I will end I must have that man I'm like an oven That's cryin' for heat He treats me awful Each time that we meet It's just unlawful How that boy can cheat But I must have that man He's hot as Hades A lady's not safe in his arms When she's kissed But I'm afraid that he's cooled off And maybe I'm ruled off his list I'll never be missed I need that person much worse'n just bad I'm falf alive and it's drivin' me mad He's only human if he's to be had I must have that man Don't want my manny I don't need a friend My heart is broken It won't ever mend I ain't much carin' Just where I will end I must have that man I'm like an oven That's cryin' for heat He treats me awful Each time that we meet It's just unlawful How that boy can cheat But I must have that man He's hot as Hades A lady's not safe in his arms When she's kissed But I'm afraid that he's cooled off And maybe I'm ruled off his list I'll never be missed I need that person much worse'n just bad I'm half alive and it's drivin' me mad He's only human if he's to be had I must have that man |

Can't you see What love and romance have done to me I'm not the same as I used to be This is my last affair Tragedy just seems to be the end of me My happiness is misery This is my last affair Right from the start You took my love Tore my heart apart Now there's nothing new to look forward to My dreams won't come true So I'll make a vow, make a vow No more to love's line will I bow I cross my heart and feel it now This is my last affair |

Ella Fitzgerald / Teddy McRae / Chick Webb / Green
You showed me the way When I was someone in distress A heart in search of happiness You showed me the way My sky was so gray I never knew I'd feel a thrill I couldn't dream a dream until You showed me the way The moment you found me The shadows around me Just disappeard from view The world became rosy Each corner so cozy Darling, all because of you You showed me the way And if I've learned that love can be a paradise For you and me Here's all I can say You showed me the way |

The way you wear your hat;
The way you sip your tea; The memory 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 on the bumpy road to love. Still I'll always, always keep the memory ofThe way you hold your knife; The way we danced 'til three; The way you've changed my life. No, no, they can't take that away from me.The way you wear your hat; The way you sip your tea; The memory 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.

Living for you, is easy living.
It's easy to live when you're in love. And, I'm so in love, There's nothing in life, but you. I'll never regret the years I'm giving. They're easy to give when you're in love. I'm happy to do whatever I do, for you. For you...maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun. People say you rule me with one wave of your hand. Darling, it's grand. They just don't understand. Living for you is easy living. It's easy to live when you're in love. And, I'm so in love, There's nothing in life, but you. |

Johnny Lange / Stryker
Without your love I'm like a song without words Just like a nest without birds Without your love Fine sun above Will never shine at my door My life holds nothing in store Without your love I rode the crest of a wave With you beside me Now who's to guide me Because I'm lost at sea Without your love I'm like a plane without wings A violin with no strings Without your love I've rode the crest of a wave With you beside me Now who's to guide me Because I'm lost at sea Without your love I'm like a plane without wings A violin with no strings Without your love |

Never had nothing
No one to care That's why I seem to have More than my share I've got a man crazy for me He's funny that wayWhen I hurt his feelings Once in a while His only answer is one little smile I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that wayI can see no other way And no better plan End it all and let him go To some better gal But I'm only human A coward at best I'm more than certain He'd follow me WestThough he loves to work And slave for me everyday He'd be so much better off If I went away But why should I leave him Why should I go He'd be unhappy without me I know I've got that man crazy for me He's funny that way |

You go to my head
And you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two The thrill of the thought That you might give a thought to my plea Casts a spell over me Still I say to myself "Get a hold of yourself" Can't you see that it never can be You go to my head With a smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance You go to my head You go to my head Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance You go to my head You go to my head |

The very thought of you
And I forget to do Those little ordinary things That everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a queen And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything The mere idea of you The longing here for you You never know how slow the moments go Till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love |

Iv'e been around the world in a plane
Settled revolutions in Spain The North Pole I have charted But can't get started with you And at the golf course I'm under par Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star I've got a house and a show place But can't get no place with you You're so supreme The lyrics I write of you Dream, dream, day and night of you Scheme just for the sight of you Baby but what good dose it do I've been consulted by Franklin D. Even Gabel had me to tea But now I'm broken hearted Can't get started with you You're so supreme The lyrics I write of you Dream, dream, day and night of you Scheme just for the sight of you But what good does it do I've been consulted by Franklin D. Even Basic had me to tea But now I'm broken hearted Can't get started with you |

You can't be mine
And someone else's too Someday you'll find I've been a friend to you I don't believe that life's worth living I gave you all there was worth giving You never cared how I fared or what I do I called you mine but I was not to blame For all the time you played up to Hand and game Second hand love I can't see It's good for some but not for me You can't be mine And somene else's too I called you mine but I was not to blame For all the time you played up to Hand and game Second hand love I can't see It's good for some but not for me You can't be mine And somene else's too |

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true Whether you remain or wander I'm growing fonder of you Even though your friends forsake you Even though you don't succeed Wouldn't I be glad to take you Give you the break you need More than you know More than you know Man o' my heart I love you so Lately I find You're on my mind More than you know Whether you're right Whether you're wrong Man o' my heart I'll string along You need me so More than you'll ever know Loving you the way that I do There's nothing I can do about it Loving may be all you can give But, honey, I can't live without it Oh, how I'd cry Oh, how I'd cry If you got tired and said goodbye More than I'd show More than you'd ever know |

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop |

Fine And Mellow
Billie Holiday My man don't love me Treats me oh so mean My man he don't love me Treats me awfully He's the, lowest man That I've ever see He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow He wears high trimmed pan Stripes are really yellow But when he starts in to love me He's so fine and mellow Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat Love will make you drink and gamble Make you stay out all night long repeat Love will make you do things That you know is wrong But if you treat me right baby I’ll stay home everyday But if you treat me right baby I’ll stay home everyday But you're so mean to me baby I know you're gonna drive me away Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on Love is just like the faucet It turns off and on Sometimes when you think it's on baby It has turned off and gone........... |

Failing in love again Never wanted to What am I to do? Can't help it Love's always been my game Play it as I may I was born that way Can't help it Men flock around me Like moths around a flame And if their wings burn I know I'm not to blame I'm falling Can't help it |

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose So the Bible said and it still is news Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Yes, the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Money, you've got lots of friends Crowding round the door When you're gone, spending ends They don't come no more Rich relations give Crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own He just worry 'bout nothin' Cause he's got his own |
