Ira Gershwin

They're writing songs of love, but not for me
A lucky star's above, but nor for me
With love to lead the way, I've found more clouds of gray
than any Russian play could guarantee

I was a fool to fall and get that way,
Heigh-ho! Alas! and also, lack-a-day!
Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of her kiss
I guess she's not for me

Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
Then in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe he'll come Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure he'll come one day
Maybe Tuesday will be
My good news day

We'll built a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Oh, what would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio
And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long long way
In time the rockies
may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to stay

And the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long long way
In time the rockies
may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay but
Our love is here to
Our love is here to
Our love is here to stay

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind,
Still we're often told,
"Seek and ye shall find."
So I'm going to seek
A certain lad
I've had in mind.Looking ev'rywhere,
Haven't found him yet;
He's the big affair
I cannot forget.
Only man I ever
Think of with regret.I'd like to add his initial to my monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?There's a somebody I'm longing to see.
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood.
I know I could
Always be good
To one who'll watch over me.Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed,
Follow my lead,
Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me.

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush little baby, Don't you cryOne of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' byOne of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
