빅밴드의 또 다른 전설 글렌 밀러. 카운트 베이시의 폭발적인 스윙 재즈보다 듀크 엘링턴적인 유니크하면서도 엘리트적인 정돈된 스윙 재즈를 대표하는 글렌 밀러의 수많은 명연주를 담은 앨범. 흥겨움보다 여유가 흘러 넘치는 백인 특유의 생활적인 느낌이 강하게 배여 있어 부드럽게 다가서는 곡들로 넘쳐난다.;
I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight. I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night. The roses are sighing a Moonlight Serenade.The stars are aglow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming. My love, do you know that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming? I bring you and sing you a Moonlight Serenade.Let us stray till break of day in love's valley of dreams. Just you and I, a summer sky, a heavenly breeze kissing the trees.So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June night. I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight, a love song, my darling, a Moonlight Serenade.
At last my love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song. At last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you.
I found a dream that I could speak to, A dream that I can call my own. I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known.
You smiled and then the spell was cast Now here we are in heaven For you are mine at last.
That certain night, the night we met There was magic abroad in the air There were angels dining at the Ritz And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I maybe right, I maybe wrong But I'm perfectly willing to swear That when you turned and smiled at me A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown How could he know we two were so in love The whole darn world seemed upside down
The streets uptown were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kissed and said goodnight A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square...!
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I?

Say it, over and over again Over and over again Never stop saying you're mine
Say it, ever and ever so sweet Ever and ever so sweet Just like an old Valentine
When you say "I love you", the same old "I love you" They whisper in stories and plays, You can change "I love you", the same old "I love you" To oh! such a heavenly phrase!
So say it, softly and gently and then Over and over again Never stop saying you're mine!
To you my heart cries out, Perfidia, For I found you, the love of my life, in somebody else's arms Your eyes are echoing perfidia, Forgetful of our promise of love, you're sharing another's charms...
With a sad lament my dreams have faded like a broken melody While the gods of love look down and laugh at what romantic fools we mortals be...
And now I know my love was not for you And so I take it back with a sigh, perfidious one, Goodbye...
(Hi there Tex, what you say) Step aside partner, it's my day Bend an ear and listen to my version (Of a really solid Tennesse excursion)
Pardon me, boy Is that the Chattanooga choo choo? (Yes yes track twenty-nine) Boy, you can gimme a shine
(Can you afford To board the Chattanooga choo choo?) I've got my fare (And just a trifle to spare)
You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore Dinner in the diner, nothing could be finer (Then to have your ham an' eggs in Carolina)
When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar Then you know that Tennessee is not very far Shovel all the coal in, gotta keep it rollin' (Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are)
There's gonna be A certain party at the station Satin and lace (doo doo) I used to call "Funny Face"
She's gonna cry Until I tell her that I'll never roam (So Chattanooga choo choo) Won't you choo-choo me home?
(Chattanooga Chattanooga) Get aboard (Chattanooga Chattanooga) All Aboard (Chattanooga Chattanooga)
(Chattanooga choo choo) Won't you choo-choo me home? (Chatanooga Choo Choo)
That old black magic has me in its spell That old black magic that you weave so well Those icy fingers up and down my spine That same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel inside And then that elevator starts its ride And down and down I go, 'round and 'round I go Like a leaf that's caught in the tide
I should stay away, but what can I do? I hear your name and I'm aflame Aflame with such a burning desire That only your kiss can put out the fire
For you're the lover I have waited for The mate that fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Darling, down and down I go, 'round and 'round I go In a spin, loving the spin I'm in Under that old black magic called love
Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair You certainly know the right things to wear... Moonlight becomes you, I'm thrilled at the sight And I could get so romantic tonight...
You're all dressed up to go dreaming, Now don't tell me I'm wrong, And what a night to go dreaming, Mind if I tag along?
If I say, "I love you" I want you to know It's not just because there's moonlight, although Moonlight becomes you so!

When I hear that Serenade in blue I'm somewhere in another world, alone with you Sharing all the joys we used to know Many moons ago Once again your face comes back to me Just like the theme of some forgotten melody In the album of my memory Serenade in blue It seems like only yesterday The small cafe, a crowded floor
And as we danced the night away I hear you say forever more And then the song became a sigh Forever more became the cry Cause you remained in my heart, so Tell me darling in there still a spark? Or lonely, lonely ashes of the flame, with you Should I go on whistling in the dark, Serenade in blue
