Stacey Kent - Dreamsville (2000) by Stacey Kent (보컬) on maniadb.com

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
'Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you 


How glad the many millions
Of Toms and Dicks and Williams
Would be to capture me
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell and it was swell

You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I will never never know

It's not that you're attractive
But oh my heart grew active
When you came into view

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and night-time, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with so much emotion

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush

'Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you
Yes, I've got a crush, my baby, on you

What good is the scheming,
The planning, the dreaming
That comes with each new love affair?
The love that you cherish
So often may perish
And leave you with castles in air

When you're alone
Who cares for starlit skies
When your alone
The magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn
There is no sunrise
When your lover has gone

What lonely hours
The evening shadows bring
What lonely hours
Like memories lingering
Like faded flowers,
Life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

For ages and ages
The poets and sages
Of love wonderous love always sing
But ask any lover and you'll soon discover
The heartache that romance can bring

What lonely hours
The evening shadows bring
What lonely hours
Like memories lingering
Like faded flowers,
Life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

In the evening, when the kettle's on for tea
An old familiar feeling settles over me
And it's your face I see
And I believe that you are there

In a garden, when I stop to touch a rose
And feel the petals soft and sweet against my nose
I smile and I suppose that somehow maybe you are there

When I'm dreaming
And I find myself awake
Without a warning
And I rub my eyes
And fantasize
And all at once I realize
It's morning
And my fantasy is fading
Like a distant star at dawn
My dearest dream is gone
I often think
There's just one thing to do
Pretend the dream is true
And tell myself that you are there

Under a blanket of blue
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours

Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling I know my heart will dance
Within your arms

A summer night's magic
Enthralling me so
The night would be tragic
If you weren't here
To share it my dear

Covered with heaven above
Let's dream a dream of love for two
Darling I know my heart will dance
Under a blanket of blue

I'm in Dreamsville holding you
A dreamy view
Just we two alone with love
In Dreamsville, time is new
We're here to love, and we do

We can see the rest of the world below us
From our pink cloud
There's no boundary to this magic land
As we go exploring hand in hand
In dreamy Dreamsville, far away
We're here to love, here we'll stay

A gentle breeze from Hushabye Mountain
Softly blows for Lullaby Bay
It fills the sails of boats that are waiting
Waiting to sail your worries away

It isn't far to Hushabye Mountain
And your boat waits down by the quay
The winds of night so softly are sighing
Soon they will fly your troubles to sea.

So close your eyes on Hushabye Mountain
Wave goodbye to cares of the day
Watch your boat from Hushabye Mountain
Sail far away for Lullaby Bay

When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use, old girl
You might as well surrender
Your hopes are getting slender
Why won't somebody
Send a tender, blue boy
To cheer little girl blue

It was winter in Manhattan
Falling snowflakes filled the air
The streets were covered with a film of ice
But a little simple magic that I'd heard about somewhere
Changed the weather all around, just within a trice

You bought me violets for my furs
And it was spring for a while, remember?
You bought me violets for my furs
And there was april in that december
The snow drifted on the flowers and melted where it lay
The snow looked like dew on the blossoms
As on a summer day

You bought me violets for my furs
And there was blue in the wintry sky
You pinned the violets to my furs
And gave a lift to the crowds passing by
You smiled at me so sweetly
Since then one thought occurs
That we fell in love completely
The day you bought me violets for my furs

Thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons
And swingy Harlem tunes
Of motor trips and burning lips
And burning toast and prunes
How lovely it was

Thanks for the memory
Of candlelight and wine
And castles on the Rhine
Your cosy chair and parties where
We sang Sweet Adeline
How Lovely it was

Many is the time that we feasted
And many is the time that we fasted
Oh well, it was swell while it lasted
We did have fun and no harm done

And thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore
Of nights in Singapore
You might have been a bringdown
But you never were a bore
So thank you so much
We said good-bye with a high ball
And I got as high as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears no fuss
Hooray for us

And thanks for the memory
And strictly entre-nous
Darling, how are you?
And how are all the little dreams
That never did come true?
Awfully glad I met you
Cheerio and toodle-oo
And thank you so much
