Tony Bennett - The Essence Of Tony Bennett (1997) by Tony Bennett (보컬) on maniadb.com

Because of you there's a song in my heart
Because of you my romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine
The moon and stars will say you're mine
Forever and never to partI only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you
I only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you

It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
In the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trout stop leaping up stream
As we dream
A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

I often wonder why you came to me
Brought such a flame to me
Then let it die
And if another love should find my heart
It will remind my heart of your goodbye
With every new love you'll come back to me
In other eyes it's you I'll see

If I love again, though it's someone new
If I love again, it will still be you

In someone's else's fond embrace
I'll close my eyes and see your face
If I love again I'll find other charms
But I'll make-believe you are in my arms
And though my lips whisper "I love you"
My heart will not be true
I'll be loving you every time I love again

Today is just another day, tomorrow is a guess
But yesterday, oh, what I'd give for yesterday
To relive one yesterday and its happinessWhen Joanna loved me
Every town was Paris
Every day was Sunday
Every month was MayWhen Joanna loved me
Every sound was music
Music made of laughter
Laughter that was bright and gayBut when Joanna left me
May became December
But, even in December, I remember
Her touch, her smile, and for a little whileShe loves me
And once again it's Paris
Paris on a Sunday
And the month is May

Something in your smile speaks to me
Something in your eyes shows me the way
And helps me to say the things
That I could never say to you

Something in your voice sings to me
Something in your laugh makes me rejoice
And there is no choice except
To let my thoughts all stray to you and stray to you they do

Something in you is rich and rare
And there is something more
Something in you is everything
That I never knew before

Something of your charm clings to me
Something of your warmth shows me the way
And made me a part of you for just a little while
So think of me as something in your smile
Think of me as something in your smile

Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name
Asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds
As I wandered on
Out of doorways black umbrellas came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed were looking through me
No one knew meYesterday I shut my eyes, face-up to the skies
Drinking in the rain
But your image still was there floating in the air
Brighter than a flame
Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your nameYesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name
