Did I remember to tell you I adore you

And I am livin’ for you alone

Did I remember to say
I’m lost without you

And just how mad about you I’ve grown

You were in my arms

And that was all I knew

We were alone we two

What did I say to you

Did I remember to tell you I adore you

And pray forevermore you’ll be mine

(bridge)

You were in my arms

And that was all I knew

We were alone we two

What did I say to you

Did I remember to tell you I adore you

And pray forevermore you’ll be mine

No regrets

Although our love affair has gone astray

No regrets

I know I’ll always care though you’re away

So now our happy romance ended suddenly

Still in my heart you’ll be forever mine

No regrets

Because somebody new looks good to you

No regrets

Sweetheart no matter what you say or do

I know our love will linger

When the other love forgets

So I say goodbye with no regrets

(bridge)

No regrets

Because somebody new looks good to you

No regrets

Sweetheart no matter what you say or do

I know our love will linger

When the other love forgets

So I say goodbye with no regrets

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 cry
 

One of these mornin’s

You’re goin’ to rise up singing

Then you’ll spread your wings

And you’ll take the sky

But till that morning

There’s a-nothin’ can harm you

With Daddy and Mammy 
Standin’ by

(bridge)

One of these mornin’s

You’re goin’ to rise up singing

Then you’ll spread your wings

And you’ll take the sky

But till that morning

There’s a nothin’ can harm you

Lord I love my man tell the world I do

I love my man tell the world I do

But when he mistreats me

Makes me feel so blue
My man wouldn’t give me no breakfast

Wouldn’t give me no dinner

Squawked about my supper and put me outdoors

Had the nerve to lay a matchbox on my clothes

I didn’t have so many

But I had a long, long way to go

(bridge)

Some men like me ‘cause I’m happy

Some ‘cause I’m snappy

Some call me honey

Others think I got money
Some tell me baby you’re built for speed

Now if you put that all together

Makes me everything a good man needs

A fine romance with no kisses

A fine romance my friend this is

We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes

But you’re as cold as yesterday’s mashed potatoes

A fine romance you won’t nestle

A fine romance you won’t wrestle

I might as well play bridge with my old maid aunt !

I haven’t got a chance
This is a fine romance

(bridge)

A fine romance my good fellow !

You take romance I’ll take Jello !

You’re calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean

At least they flap their fins to express emotion

A fine romance with no quarrels

With no insults and all morals

I’ve never mussed the crease in your blue serge pants

I never get the chance

This is a fine romance

I can’t pretend

I’m sorry we’re apart

I can’t pretend
I just can’t fool my heart

Though I make mine

My friends all seem to realize

Their smiles, that look in my eye

I can’t pretend

I simply can’t be gayer

For in the end

My tears give me away

Without you dear

I live a lie
I can’t defend
I love you

And I can’t pretend

(bridge)

I can’t pretend

I simply can’t be gayer

One two

One two button your shoe

Put on your coat and hat

I’ll play a game like that

While I’m waiting for you
Three four open the door

Hurry for heaven’s sake

I count each step you take

While I’m waiting for you
Five six my eyes are fixed

On that picture of your charm

Seven eight you’re at the gate

And you walk into my arms
Nine ten kiss me again

Tell me you get a thrill

Just as I hope you will

While I’m waiting for you

(bridge)

Five six my eyes are fixed

On that picture of your charm

Seven eight you’re at the gate

And you walk into my arms
Nine ten kiss me again

Tell me you get a thrill

Just as I hope you will

While I’m waiting for you

When we’re in a friendly situation

My conversation may not be smart

But if we’re to have a perfect understanding

Let’s call a heart a heart
There are words that should be whispered gently

That’s evidently the way to start

If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding

Let’s call a heart a heart

Can I prove how I yearn

Just by the turn of a phrase

Can I keep my control

When all my soul is aflame
Maybe we’d call a true confession

And in discretion on someone’s part

But if I’m to say how madly I adore you

Let’s call a heart a heart

(bridge)

Maybe we’d call a true confession

And in discretion on someone’s part

But if I’m to say how madly I adore you

Let’s call a heart a heart

One never knows, does one?

When love will come along

Then so suddenly life turns out to be a song

Uuh Uuhm
One never knows, does one?

The moment or the place

Then right before your eyes

Someone occupies your embrace

Someday look and you’ll find

Two hearts were blessed

Someday fate may be kind

Pray for the future

Hope for the best

One never knows does one?
That’s just the way it goes

All at once you hear

“Hold me, caress me”

And then love may come

But when one never knows

(short bridge)

Someday look and you’ll find

Two hearts were blessed

Someday fate may be kind

Pray for the future

Hope for the best

One never knows does one?
That’s just the way it goes

All at once you hear

Hold me, caress me

And then love may come

But when one never knows

Does one?

The snow is snowing

Wind is blowing

But I can weather the storm

Why do I care how much it may storm

I’ve got my love to keep me warm

I can’t remember

A worse December

Just watch those icicles form

Why do I care if icicles form

I’ve got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat

Off with my gloves

I need no overcoat

I’m burning with love

My heart’s on fire

The flame grows higher

So I will weather the storm

Why do I care how much it may storm

I’ve got my love to keep me warm

(bridge)

My heart’s on fire

The flame grows higher

So I will weather the storm

Why do I care how much it may storm

I’ve got my love to keep me warm

If my heart could only talk

Heaven would be mine

If my heart could only talk

Life would be divine

You would hear my song of love so tender

It would thrill you until you willingly surrender

If my heart could only talk

Dreams would all come true

‘Neath the starlight I would walk

Hand in hand with you

I would have to seek your lips

Thrill you to your fingertips

If my heart could only talk

(bridge)

If my heart could only talk

Dreams would all come true

Please keep me in your dreams

In your sweet dreams let me hold you

When through your window

The breeze comes swingin’

It’s just bringin’ this love song that I’m singin’

Please keep me in your dreams

My kiss it seems must have told you

My heart you’ll borrow until tomorrow

So please keep me in your dreams

Please keep me in your dreams

You say eether

And I say eyether
You say neether

And I say nyther

Eeeher, eyether, neether, nyther

Let’s call the whole thing off !

You like potatoes

And I like potahtoes

You like tomatoes

And I like tomahtoes

Potatoes, potahtoes, tomatoes, tomahtoes

Let’s call the whole thing off !

But oh, if we call the whole thing off

Then we must part

And oh, if we ever part

Then that might break my heart

So it you like pajamas and I like pajahmas

I’ll wear pajamas and give up pajahmas

For we know we need each other

So we’d better call the calling off, off

Let’s call the whole thing off !

(bridge)

But oh, if we call the whole thing off

Then we must part

And oh, if we ever part

Then that might break my heart

So if you go for oysters

And I go for ersters

I’ll order oysters and cancel the ersters

For we know we need each other

So we’d better call the calling off, off

Let’s call the whole thing off !

The way you wear your hat

The way you sip your tea

The memory of all that

No, no they can’t take that away from me
The way your smile just beams

The way you sing off-key

The way you haunt my dreams

No, no they can’t take that away from me

We may never, never meet again

On the bumpy road to love

Still I’ll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife

The way we danced till three

The way you changed my life

No, no they can’t take that away from me

No, they can’t take that away from me

(bridge)

We may never, never meet again

On that bumpy road to love

Still I’ll always, always keep the memory of

No, they can’t take that away from me

Where is the sun

Oh clouds above me

Where are the birds that used to sing?

Everything’s wrong

Oh where is their song of love?
Where is the one

Who said he loved me

Gone like the flowers he used to bring

Can it be true there’s somebody new to love?

Listen my heart

Don’t feel so bad

Think of the kisses we knew

You know my heart

The moments we had

Maybe he’s missing them too
Where is the sun?

Oh clouds above me

Don’t take the dreams to which I cling

Where is the sun?

Oh where is the one I love?

(bridge)

Listen my heart

Don’t feel so bad

Think of the kisses we knew

You know my heart

The moments we had

Where is the sun?

Oh where is the one I love?

You’ve got me on the road

Running to and from

Looking high and low

I don’t know if I’m coming or going

Since I fell for you
I run up above the town

Chasing up and down

Tagging you around

I don’t know if I’m coming or going

Since I fell for you
You’re so dizzy

Keeping up with all your love affair

I’m so dizzy

I’ve got trouble

I’m seein’ in double
Just when I think you’re through

Chasing as you do

You find someone new

I don’t know if I’m coming or going

Since I fell for you

(bridge)

When I found you

I found heaven right before my door

Since I lost you

I’ve got trouble

I’m seein’ in double
Why did you let me fly

Way up to the sky

Just to say good-bye

I don’t know if I’m coming or going

Since I fell for you

Me, myself and I

Are all in love with you

We all think you’re wonderful

We do
Me, myself and I

Have just one point of view

We’re convinced

There’s no one else like you
It can’t be denied dear

You brought the sun to us

We’d be satisfied dear

If you’d belong to one of us
So if you pass me by

Three hearts will break in two

Cause me, myself and I

Are all in love with you

Without your love

I’m like a song without words

Just like a nest without birds

Without your love
The sun above

Will never shine at my door

My life holds nothing in store

Without your love

I’ve rode the crest of a wave

With you beside me

Now who’s to guide me

Because I’m lost at sea
Without your love

I’m like a plane without wings

A violin with no strings

Without your love

(bridge)

I’ve rode the crest of a wave

A sailboat in the moonlight

And you

Wouldn’t that be heaven

A heaven just for two

A soft breeze on a June night and you

What a perfect setting

For letting dreams come true
A chance to sail away

To Sweetheart Bay

Beneath the stars that shine

A chance to drift

For you to lift

Your tender lips to mine

The things dear

That I long for are few

Just give me a sailboat in the moonlight and you

(bridge)

There’s something rules our destiny

Right from the first day of our birth

Although you may not care for me

You have your mission on this earth

You were born to love

Sure as you live

Born with everything heaven could give

You have eyes and they express
Love at a glance

You have lips whose tenderness

Speak of romance
Like a dream of love, lovely to see

You’re the angel of my destiny

And to think that you have found

Your place on earth only to be

Born to love and be loved by me

(bridge)

Like a dream of love, lovely to see

You’re the angel of my destiny

And to think that you have found

Your place on earth only to be

Born to love and be loved by me

When we want to love we love

When we want to kiss we kiss

With a little petting we’re getting

Some fun out of life

When we want to work we work

When we want to play we play

In a happy setting we’re getting

Some fun out of life

Maybe we do the right things

Maybe we do the wrong

Spending each day

Just wending our way along

When we want to sing we sing

When we want to dance we dance

You can do your betting we’re getting

Some fun out of life

Maybe we do the right things

Maybe we do the wrong

Who wants love?

Love is a joy we borrow

Pay back in tears tomorrow

So who wants love?
Who wants love?

Something to fill your heart with

So very soon to part with

So who wants love?
Love is a dream of weaving

Moonbeams in patterns rare

Love is a child believing

Stories of castles in the air
So who wants love?

I’ll go away without it

I know too much about it

Who wants love?

(bridge)

Love is a dream of weaving

I’m so weary and all alone

Feel tired like heavy stone

Trav’lin’, trav’lin’ all alone

Who will see and who will care

Bout this load that I must bear

Trav’lin’, trav’lin’ all alone

Prayers are said to heaven above

’Bout my burdens woes and love

Head bowed down with misery

Nothing now appeals to me

Trav’lin’, trav’lin’ all alone

(bridge)

Give me just another day

There’s one thing I want to say

Friends are well when all is gold

Leave you always when you’re old

Trav’lin’, trav’lin’ all alone

Never had nothing

No one to care

That’s why I seem to have

More than my share

I’ve got a man crazy for me

He’s funny that way
When I hurt his feelings

Once in a while

His only answer is one little smile

I’ve got that man crazy for me

He’s funny that way
I can see no other way

And no better plan

End it all and let him go

To some better gal
But I’m only human

A coward at best

I’m more than certain

He’d follow me West

I’ve got that man crazy for me

He’s funny that way

(bridge)

Though he loves to work

And slave for me everyday

He’d be so much better off

If I went away
But why should I leave him

Why should I go

He’d be unhappy without me I know

I’ve got that man crazy for me

He’s funny that way

Once they called it ragtime

And it had its fling

It’s the same old syncopation

Now they call it swing
Then they played it jazz time

To a buck-and-wing
O
nce again it sweeped the nation

Now they call it swing
When singers used to sing

They would go hot-cha

But with this modern thing

Now they go dru-du-du, dra-da-da
Rhythm has its seasons

Summer, fall and spring

But for seven silly reasons

Someone pulled the string

And they started dancing

Now they call it swing

If you wonder why I’m near you

Even though I’ve been denied

I’m inclined to be a little

On the sentimental side
I suppose I should forget you

If I had an ounce of pride

But I guess I can’t help being

On the sentimental side
I should act gay

Laugh it off and say farewell

Say it just didn’t wear well

But I’m not that way
I’m in hopes you’ll think it over

And perhaps be satisfied

With a simple sort of person

On the sentimental side

(bridge)

The bird with feathers of blue

Is waiting for you

Back in your own backyard

You’ll see your castles in Spain

Through your window pane

Back in your own backyard
Oh you can go to the East

Go to the West

But someday you’ll come

Weary at heart

Back where you started from

You’ll find your happiness lies

Right under your eyes

Back in your own backyard

Maybe he’s not much just another man

Doing what he can

But what does she care

When a woman loves a man
She’ll just string along

All through thick and thin

Till his ship comes in

It’s always that way

When a woman love a man
She’ll be the first one to praise him

When he’s goin’ strong

The last one to blame him

When everything’s wrong

It’s such a one-sided game that they play

But women are funny that way
Tell her she’s a fool

She’ll say yes I know

But I love him so

And that’s how it goes

When a woman loves a man

(bridge)

Tell her she’s a fool

She’ll say yes I know

But I love him so

And that’s how if goes

When a woman loves a man

You go to my head

And you linger like a haunting refrain

And I find you spinning ‘round in my brain

Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head

Like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew

And I find the very mention of you

Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought

That you might give a thought

To my plea 
Casts a spell over me

Still I say to myse
lf
“Get ahold of yourself

Can’t you see that it never can be”

You go to my head with a smile

That makes my temperature rise

Like a summer with a thousand Julys

You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I’m certain that this heart of mine

Hasn’t a ghost of a chance

In this crazy romance

You go to my head, you go to my head

Though I’m certain that this heart of mine

Hasn’t a ghost of a chance

The moon looks down and laughs

And says I told you so

Why did I let you go away
I was so sure you loved me madly

And when I wanted you

You’d gladly come back to me
I never realized the day we said goodbye

How very sorry I would be

And every night when I walk

Up and down this lonesome town

The moon looks down and laughs at me

If I were you

Here’s what I’d do

I’d give my heart a break

Instead of trying to break my heart
If I were you

I’d do this too
I’d string along with me

Instead of keeping me on a string
I’d love me the whole day long
You’d never catch me napping
Wouldn’t have a change of heart
Not for fear
That such a thing should happen
If I were you
Here’s what I’d do

I’d stick to me
My whole life through

If I were you

Forget if you can

Romantic music one magical night

A corner table in dim candle light

A kiss that was heaven for two
Forget if you can

The day we hiked to where nobody knows

The swell spaghetti at Tony and Joe’s

It hasn’t been fun without you
Don’t you remember

All the silly things we used to do

The way we laughed

When we were photographed

As Handsome Hal and his ten-timing gal
Why shouldn’t we plan

More happy moments like we used to spend

They were so perfect

Too perfect to end
Let your heart forget if you can

(bridge)

I’m havin’ myself a time

I mean I’m havin’ what I want

Wanting what I have

Doing what I like

And liking what I do

And I’m havin’ myself a time
I never could save a dime

And so I’m living like a lord

Acting like a loon
Lying in the sun

And sighing in the moon

And I’m havin’ myself a time
When I hum songs

They’re all dumb songs

Without reason nor rhyme
But I’m certainly in my prime

I mean I’m happy as a bird, flying up above

Walk a little love and get a little love

And I’m havin’ myself a time

Fall in love fall in love

Says my heart

It’s romance take a chance

Says my heart
But each time that I’m almost in your arms

This old schoolteacher brain of mine

Keeps bringing in false alarms
Then my head rules instead and I’m wise

To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes

So I kiss and run

But the moment we’re apart

Oh! you fool that was love

Says my heart

(bridge)

Then my head rules instead and I’m wise

To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes

So I kiss and run

But the moment we’re apart

Oh! you fool that was love

Says my heart
It wasn’t the moon it wasn’t the stars

That was love!
Says my heart

Joys that come to others

Seldom come to me

But if I only were Aladdin

How different things would be
Every time I wish

I wish I had you

Every time I dream

The dream is for two
You’re the part within my heart

That beats all day

Seems to say I love you
Everywhere I go

You’re all that I see

Wonder if you know

What you mean to me
Wishes would be grand

If only they came true

For every time I wish

I wish I had you

(bridge)

Everywhere I go

You’re all that I see

Wonder if you know

What you mean to me
Wishes would be grand

If only they came true

For every time I wish

I wish I had you

I’m gonna lock my heart

And throw away the key

I’m wise to all those tricks you played on me

I’m gonna turn my back on love

Gonna snub the moon above

Seal all my windows up with tin

So the love bug can’t get in
I’m gonna park my romance right along the curb

Hang a sign upon my heart

Please don’t disturb

And if I never fall in love again

That’s soon enough for me

I’m gonna lock my heart

And throw the key

(bridge)

And if I never fall in love again

That’s soon enough for me

I’m gonna lock my heart

I’ll never fall in love

I’m gonna lock my heart

And throw away the key

I’ve got a date with a dream

A dream divine

I’ve got a date with a dream

Who may be mine
I’ve got to hurry and dress

To meet him at seven

When any old corner becomes a corner

Of heaven, blue heaven
I’m gonna dance with a dream

We’ll dance on air

I’m gonna speak to a dream

And tell him I care
And when the evening is over

I’ll kiss him goodnight and then

I’ll have a date with a dream

And meet him all over again

(bridge)

And when the evening is over

I’ll kiss him goodnight and then

I’ll have a date with a dream

And meet him all over again

You can’t be mine

And someone else’s too

Someday you’ll find

I’ve been a friend to you

I don’t believe that life’s worth living

I gave you all there was worth giving

You never cared how I fared or what I do

I called you mine but I was not to blame

For all the time you played up to

Hand and game

Second hand love I can’t see

It’s good for some but not for me

You can’t be mine

And someone else’s too

(bridge)

I called you mine but I was not to blame

For all the time you played up to

Hand and game

Second hand love I can’t see

It’s good for some but not for me

You can’t be mine

And someone else’s too

The very thought of you

And I forget to do

Those little ordinary things

That everyone ought to do

I’m livin’ in a kind of a daydream

I’m happy as a queen

And foolish though it may seem

To me that’s everything
The mere idea of you

The longing here for you

You’ll never know

How slow the moments go

Till I’m near to you

I see your face in every flower

Your eyes in stars above

It’s just the thought of you

The very thought of you my love

(bridge)

I see your face in every flower

Your eyes in stars above

It’s just the thought of you

The very thought of you my love

I’ve been around the world in a plane

Settled revolutions in Spain

The North Pole I have charted

But can’t get started with you
And at the golf course I’m under par

Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star

I’ve got a house and a show-place

But can’t get no place with you

You’re so supreme

Lyrics I write of you

Dream, dream day and night of you

Scheme, just for the sight of you

Baby but what good does it do?

I’ve been consulted by Franklin D.
Robert Taylor has had me to tea

But now I’m brokenhearted

Can’t get started with you

(bridge)

When first we met how you elated me

Pet, you devastated me

Yet, now you’ve deflated me

‘Till, you’re my Waterloo

When J.P. Morgan bows I just nod

Green Pastures wanted me to play God

The Siamese Twins I’ve parted

Can’t get started with you

You’ve heard my story before

I’ve often told it you know

Well it’s just the same

A dream that’s been in vain
Someone to miss when I’m away

Someone to kiss at close of day

A heart that’s new

With a love that’s true

That’s all I ask of you
Someone to care when things look blue

A love to share my whole life through

We’re side by side
Just a groom and a bride

That’s all I ask of you

Now most of my plans have crumbled and faded

May this one come true

I’ll make a start

I’ll give you my heart

The rest is up to you
So give your love
In one sweet kiss

I ask no more of you than this

Be sweet and kind

Say that you’ll be mine
That’s all I ask of you

(bridge)

Now most of my plans have crumbled and faded

May this one come true

I’ll make a start

I’ll give you my heart

Be sweet and kind

Say that you’ll be mine

That’s all I ask of you

My life was empty when you went away

Even the blue skies above had turned gray

But now that you’ve come back

My dream of life is here to stay
Those little quarrels that tore us apart

Oh gee I can see

They were wrong from the start

But now that you’ve come back

My dream of life is here to stay
I can’t seem to see just what you see in me

I guess love is really blind

This world seem so grand now that you understand

It’s you I adore It’s you I live for
Life is sublime now that you’re here with me

Please keep it mind dear and don’t stray from me

For now that you’ve come back

My dream of life is here to stay

Life’s just like a dream

Just a beautiful dream

Under a blue jungle moon
Love calls out to love

From the wood and the stream

Calls with a weird savage tune
Through the night comes melodies entrancing

All through the night in pairs the world’s romancing

My own heart calls too

Jungle sweetheart to you

Under a blue jungle moon

Always blue all in a mist
It’s plain as can be

You’re so mean to me

But everything happens for the best

You always play around

You’re running my heart so deep in the ground

That’s O.K. everything happens for the best
I loved you so madly

Knew you would be true

Now this thing has happened dear

It’s over all over because we’re through

Sorry dear it end this way

Since the world begin

The old folks say

Everything happens for the best

Just when you are near

When I hold you fast

Then my dreams will whisper

You’re too lovely to last
Lips are saying love

All worries have passed

Then I get that feeling

You’re too lovely to last
Will I ever know a real love?

So I can forget you

Will I always have to steal love?

What am I to do?
Soon the night is gone

Dreams are fading fast

Then I wake up knowing

You’re too lovely to last

(bridge)

Will I ever know a real love?

Baby you’re too lovely

You’re much too lovely to last

Why did I always depend on you

When I knew that you’d end

In another’s arms?

As a rule I’m no fool

But it seems where love’s concerned

There’s no rule for a fool

Who would let his heart be burned
And you intended to fool me too

That’s no lie

And you can’t deny it’s true

From the start in my heart

I knew what you’d do

Why did I depend on you?

(bridge)

And you intended to fool me too

That’s no lie

And you can’t deny it’s true

From the start in my heart

I knew what you’d do

Why did I depend on you?

Some other spring

I’ll try to love

Now I still cling

To faded blossoms

Fresh when worn

Left crushed and torn

Like the love affair I mourn

Some other spring

When twilight falls

Will the nights bring

Another to me?
Not your kind

But let me find

It’s not true that love is blind

Sunshine’s around me

But deep in my heart it’s cold as ice
Love once you’ve found me

But can that story unfold twice?

Some other spring

Will my heart awake?

Stirring to sing
Love’s magic music

Then forget the old duet

Can love in some other spring?

(bridge)

Sunshine’s around me

But deep in my heart it’s cold as ice
Love once you’ve found me

But can that story be told twice?

Some other spring

Will my heart awake?

Stirring to sing

Love’s magic music

Then forget the old duet
Can love in some other spring?

I fell in love with you the first time I looked into

Them there eyes

You have a certain little cute way of flirting with

Them there eyes

They make me feel so happy

They make me feel so blue

I’m falling

No stalling

Fallin’ in a great big way for you

My heart is jumpin’

You started something with

Them there eyes

You better look out little brown eyes if you’re wise

They sparkle

They bubble

Get you in a lot of trouble

Ah, baby
Them there eyes

It’s like a mighty symphony

I can feel its silver harmony

Oh so tenderly day by day
Our love is different dear

To me it’s almost heavenly

Let us guard it ever preciously

Even jealously

While we may
A love like ours dear heart

The angels send

And so I know dear heart

That it won’t ever end
For as the years roll by

You’ll learn my love for you is true

And I’m sure I’ll learn the same from you

For our love is different dear

A love like ours dear heart

You’re just a no account

You never will amount to nothin’ at all

When there is work to do and someone yells for you

You don’t hear them call

The Good Lord set aside his Sundays

For folks to rest

More that one day’s rest is wrong

You start restin’ Sunday and rest so hard

You’re tired the whole week long

You’re just a no account

You never will amount to nothin’ at all
I just can’t figure how each time you milk the cow

The tit gets so small

We got machines to do your work for you

But you won’t press the button on the wall

You’re just a no account

You never will amount to nothin’ at all

You’re a lucky guy when you consider

The highest bidder can’t buy

The gleam in your eyes

You’re a lucky guy

Thank you lucky stars

You’ve got a honey who wants no money

She’ll take you just as you are

Thank you lucky stars
Hey fellow say fellow

Don’t you realize it’s fated you rated

Open up your eyes
You’re lucky guy

You’re just beginning so have your inning

And let your troubles boom by

No one can deny you’re a lucky guy

And live right up till you die

Night and day you are the one

Only you beneath the moon and under the sun

Whether near to me or far
It’s no matter darling where you are

I think of you

Night and day

Day and night

Why is it so

That this longing for you follows wherever I go

In the roaring traffic’s boom

In the silence of my lonely room

I think of you

Night and day

Night and day under the hide of me

There’s an oh such a hungry yearning

Burning inside of me

And this torment won’t be trough

Till you let me spent my life making love to you

Night and day
Day and night

(short bridge)

Night and day under the hide of me

There’s an oh such a hungry yearning

Burning inside of me

And this torment won’t be trough

Till you let spent my life making love to you

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 I shall meet him Sunday

Maybe Monday maybe not

Still I’m sure to meet him one day

Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He’ll build a little home

That’s meant for two

From which I’ll never roam

Who would, would you

And so all else above

I’m dreaming of the man I love

(bridge)

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday

Maybe Monday maybe not

Still I’m sure to meet him one day

My days have grown so lonely

For you I cry

For you dear only

Why haven’t you seen it

I’m all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing

I’m wondering why it’s me you’re wronging

Oh tell you I mean it

I’m all for you body and soul

I can’t believe it

It’s hard to conceive it

That you’d throw away romance

Are you pretending

It looks like the ending

Unless I can have one more chance to prove dear

My life a hell you’re making

You know I’m yours for just the taking

I’d gladly surrender

Myself to you body and soul

(bridge)

What lies before me

A future that’s stormy

A winter that’s gray and cold
Unless there’s magic the end will be tragic

And echo a tale that’s been told so often

My life revolves about you

What earthly good am I without you

I tell you I mean it

I’m all for you body and soul

Where are we headin’ in

When do we start to live dear

When do we really begin
What is this going to get us

Hanging around till four

Saying goodnight at daybreak

Kissing goodbye in the doorway
We can go on the way we’ve gone

I’m at the end of my rope

I can’t live on love I’ve so much of

And I can’t keep livin’ on hope
What is this going to get us

Only an aching heart

When is this going to get us

Together never to part

Ghost of yesterday

Stalking ‘round my room

All night long you stay

Walk around in profound gloom

When the darkness falls

When I’ve gone to bed

Weirdly come your calls

Mournfully scornfully dead
Folly of a love I strangled

Pulsing heart I thought was gone

Gives no peace

Will not cease

Prowling ‘round till dawn
Ghost of yesterday

Every night you’re here

Whispering away

Might have been, might have been oh my dear

Foolish heart must pay

Ghost of yesterday
Ghost of yesterday

Every night you’re here

Whispering away

Might have been, might have been oh my dear

Foolish heart must pay

Ghost of yesterday

Falling in love again

Never wanted to

What am I to do?

Can’t help it
Love’s always been my game

Play it as I may
I was born that way

Like moths around a flame

So if their wings burn

I know I’m not to blame
Falling in love again

Never wanted to

What am I to do?
Gee I can’t help it
