Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars With love beside us to fill the night with a song We'll hear the sound of violins Out yonder where the blue begins The moon will guide us as we go drifting along Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal Over the rim of the hill? Can't we sail away on a little dream And settle high on the crest of a thrill? Let's build a stairway to the stars A lovely stairway to the stars It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you |

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? |

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...! |

It's not the pale moon that excites me,
That thrills and delights me, Oh no, it's just the nearness of you... It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, Oh no, it's just the nearness of you. When you're in my arms And I feel you so close to me, All my wildest dreams come true I need no soft lights to enchant me If you'll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night The nearness of you! |

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... |

Why are the stars always winkin'
And blinkin' above? What makes a fella start thinkin' Of fallin' in love? It's not the season The reason It's plain as the moon It's just Elmer's tune What makes a lady of eighty Go out on the loose? Why does a gander meander In search of a goose? What puts the kick in A chicken? The magic in June? It's just Elmer's tune Listen, listen There's a lot you're liable to be missin' Sing it, swing it Any ol' way and any ol' time The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies The cop on the beat The candy maker, the baker The man on the street The city charmer The farmer The man in the moon All sing Elmer's tune The hurdy-gurdies, the birdies The cop on the beat The banker And the man on the street The city charmer The farmer The man in the moon All sing Elmer's tune They all sing Elmer's tune They all sing Elmer's tune |

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 |

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. |
