Bing Crosby - Introducing...Bing Crosby (2004) by Bing Crosby (보컬) on maniadb.com

Oh, Please.
Lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too.
Please
Let me hold you tight in my arms
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through.
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy romeo?
Oh, Please.
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too.

(Bing whistles and da da dees)

Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow.
How long must I play the role of
A gloomy romeo?
Oh, please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please,
Tell me that you love me too.

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

We used to dwell in love's own palace,
A palace of dreams come true.
Now that we're through I bear no malice,
Though we've called it a day
All I can say is
Thanks for all the lovely delights
I found in your embrace.
I'm thankful though I know
It's ending all too soon.
And thanks for unforgettable nights
I never can replace.
And memories that linger like a haunting tune.
It is better to have loved you dear and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
Yes it's better, for no matter what the cost
I held the world in sway, an emperor for a day
And thanks again for taking me on the road to paradise.
We lost our road, but still I must convey our thanks.

It is better to have loved you dear and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
Yes, its better, for no matter what the cost
I held the world in sway, an emperor for a day
And thanks again for taking me on the road to paradise.
We lost our way but still I must convey my thanks.

I'm young and healthy
And you've got charms
It would really be a sin
Not to have you in my arms

I'm young and healthy
And so are you
When the moon is in the sky
Tell me what am I to do?

If I could hate you
I'd keep away
But that ain't my nature
I'm full of vitamin A, say

Say I'm young and healthy
So let's be bold
In a year or two or three
Maybe we will be too old

If I could hate you
I'd keep away
But that ain't my nature
Looks like I'm full of that vitamin A

I want to say I'm young and healthy
So let's be bold
In a year or two or three
Maybe we will be too old

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

I need your love so badly, I love you, oh, so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you!
I thought at last I'd found you, but other lovers surround you
And "I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you!"
If you'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover, that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true, but what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming

You came, I was alone
I should have known you were temptation
You smiled, luring me on
My heart was gone, you were temptation

It would be thrilling if you were willling
If it can never be, pity me
For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist
You are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart
Take it and say we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you, temptation

For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist
You are temptation and I am yours
Here is my heart
Take it and say we'll never part
I'm just a slave, only a slave
To you, temptation

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.

Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted an' strayed
Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides!

What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed?
Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back
when I seem to be going ahead?"

To black moonlight!
Where everything reflects your colour
Darkness that is endless.
nights that leave me friendless . . . blue!

Black moonlight!
You make the lights of Harlem duller


Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded . . . too!
Why must you send . . .
ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing . . .
like shadows of love that are gone?

Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
and darken each promise of dawn?

Black moonlight!
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black, black moonlight!

Music by Arthur Johnston
with lyrics by Arthur Coslow, 1933

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.

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.

There's a famous thoroughfare,
I've heard collegiates say.
I'm not referring to Piccadilly.
It's not 42nd Street,
it's not the rue de la Paix,
nor is it Market Street in Philly.
Ask most any college Romeo,
to complete your education you must go....

Down the old ox road.
Though you'll never find where it is
by looking in maps,
with a little investigation you'll discover perhaps,
that this old tradition's not a place
but just a proposition called
the old ox road,
the old ox road.

Ox road could be any romantic spot:
a country highway or a moonlit yacht.
It could be in the parlor
when the lights are burning low;
it could be in the movie
in the very last row.

Down the old ox road.
In the magic of the moonlight
you are filled with delight,
while the leaves that flutter o'er you
whisper lover tonight,
why keep waiting, and debating,
when you know it's time for mating
on the old ox road,
on the old ox road.

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.

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

'Cause my hair is curly
Just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Like to dress up in the latest style

'Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Just because my color's shady
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me

Shine, sway your bluesies
Why don't you shine?
Start with your shoesies
Shine each place up, make it look like new
Shine your face up; I want to see you wear a smile or two

Why don't you shine your these and thoseies?
You'll find everything gonna turn out right fine
Folks will shine up to ya
Everybody's gonna howdy doody do-ya
You'll make the whole world shine

Oh, chocolate drop, that's me

'Cause my hair is curly (man's got curly hair)
Now just because my teeth are pearly (also got pearly teeth)
Just because I always wear a smile (oh, keep on smiling)
Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style

'Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Now just because my color's shady (you's a shady baby)
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me

Shine away your bluesies
Shine, start with your shoesies
You'll make the whole world shine

<Intro:

I'm sorry, so sorry
What more can I say
Never knew how much you meant to me
'til I went away.
It's my fault
All my fault
That we're apart
I'd give anything if I could be
Back with you, Sweetheart.

If I told a lie
If I made you cry
When I said, "Goodbye"
I'm sorry
From the bottom of my heart dear,
I apologize.

If I caused you pain
I know that I'm to blame
I must have been insane
Believe me.
From the bottom of my heart dear,
I apologize.

I realize I've been unfair to you
Please let me make amends
Don't say that you forgot the love we knew
After all, we were more than friends.

If I made you blue
I've had heartaches too
Now I beg of you
Forgive me.
From the bottom of my heart dear,
I apologize.

Orchestra tutti

If I made you blue
I've had heartaches too
Now I beg of you
Forgive me.
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize.

You left today but you didn't say goodbye
I wonder why
I'm standing now where you made your vow
So blue for you, I could cry

Leaves come tumbling down 'round my head
Some of them are brown, some are red
Beautiful to see, but reminding me
Of a faded summer love

Swaying high above in the trees
They were so in love with the breeze
Now the autumn wind brings to them the end
Of a faded summer love

I'm like the poor leaves that sway with the breeze
I thought that life was sweet
You are the sweet breeze that tried hard to please
Then swept me off my feet

Summer morning dew turns to frost
Leaves that once were new pay the cost
Beautiful to see, but reminding me
Of a faded summer love

I'm like the poor leaves that sway with breeze
I thought that life was sweet
You are the sweet breeze that tried hard to please
Then swept me off my feet

Summer morning dew turns to frost
Leaves that once were new pay the cost
Beautiful to see, but reminding me
Of a faded summer love

Dinah
Is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her
Show her to me.
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazin'
How I love to sit and gazin'
To the eyes of Dinah Lee.
Every night why do I
Shake with fright?
Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me.
Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee.

Mills bros repeat verse.
Bing scats.

Every night why do I
Shake with fright?
Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me.

The name of this song is Dinah.
Said it.
The name of this song is Dinah.
Snag it.
The name of this song is Dinah.
Ah, Tell it.
The name of this song is Dinah.

Dinah
wander to China,
the state of Carolina
Listen, and you know her
I would like to have you show her to me.
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazin'
How I love to sit and gazin'
To the eyes of Dinah Lee.

Oh, Dinah
Should you wander to China
I would get me an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee.

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

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?
