(Dorothy Fields / Jimmy McHugh)

I know why I waited
Know why I've been blue
I've been waiting each day
For someone exactly like you

Why should I spend some money
On a show or two
When nobody sings these love songs
Exactly like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
You make me understand
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
And schemes I'm scheming

Now I know why my mama
She taught me to be true
She knew just around the corner
LyricsWas somebody like you

You make me feel so grand
I wanna give this world to you
Baby you make me understand
These foolish little dreams I'm dreaming
And schemes I'm scheming

Now I know why my mama
She taught me to be true
She knew just around the corner
Yes she knew just around the corner
Was somebody like you


. . .



Hold me close and hold me fast.
This magic spell you cast;
this is la vie en rose.

When you kiss me, heaven sighs.
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose.

When you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.

And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.

Give your heart and soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose.

LyricsMmm, when you press me to your heart,
I'm in a world apart.
A world where roses bloom.

And when you speak,
angels fly from above.
Everyday words seem to turn
into love songs.

Give your heart, your soul to me.
Babe, it's gonna be
La vie en rose

(Dougherty / Reynolds / Neiburg)

I'm confessin' that I love you, tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you, honest I do, need you every moment.
In your eyes I read such strange things, but your lips deny they're true,

Will your answer really change things, making me blue?
I'm afraid some day you'll leave me, saying "Can't we still be friends?",

If you go, you know you'll grieve me, all in life on you depends.
Am I guessing that you love me, dreaming dreams of you in vain?
I'm confessing that I love you, over again


. . .



(Carpenter / Hines / Dunlap)

Though you say we're through
I'll always love you
And you can depend on me

Though someone that you've met
Has made you forget
Honey, you know
You can count on me

When I wish, I wish you success
And loads, loads of happiness
But baby, I gotta confess
I'll be lonely
If you ever, ahh, if you ever need a friend
I'll be yours until the end
And you can depend on me

I wish you success
And loads of happiness
But, darling, I gotta confess
I'm gonna be lonely

Oh if you ever, ahh, if you ever need a friend
I'll be right by your side ahh, till the end
And you can depend on me

You can depend on me


. . .



I see trees of green... red roses too
I see 'em bloom... for me and for you
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue... clouds of white
Bright blessed days...dark sacred nights
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow...so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces...of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands...sayin'.. how do you do
They're really sayin'...i love you.

I hear babies cry... I watch them grow
They'll learn much more...than I'll never know
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world

The colors of a rainbow...so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces...of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands...sayin'.. how do you do
They're really sayin'... (I... love...you).

I hear babies cry... I watch them grow
(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than I'll never know)
And I think to myself... what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself... what a wonderful world

That's My Home

[No lyrics]

. . .



(Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Oscar Hammerstein II)

Gimme a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on

Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on

When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true

Oh, gimme your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
Lyricswill make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on

Gimme a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination
Will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A Kiss to build a dream on

Give me a kiss before you leave me
and my imagination
will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on

When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believe they're true

Oh, gimme your lips for just a moment
and my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on


. . .

I Wonder

[No lyrics]

. . .



(Wilbur Schwandt and Fabian Andree / Gus Kahn)

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me


. . .



(James P. Johnson / Flournoy E. Miller)

Don't lose your head
Then lose your guy
You can't lose a broken heart
If you ever break up
Then try to make up
It's tough to make a brand new start

Take a walk
Think it over
While strolling neath the moon
Don't say things in December
You'll regret in June

Ware your remark
Before you speak
Or you may be sorry soon,
Don't be erratic
Be diplomatic
To keep your heart's in tune

Cruel harsh words
Often spoken
Will upset your applecart
So don't lose your head
Then lose your guy
Cos, you can't lose a broken heart
No, you can't lose a broken heart!


. . .



(Gillespie-Smith)

Up in the morning, out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay
But the lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Sweat til I'm wrinkled and grey
While the lucky old sun has nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lord above can't you know I'm pining
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise

Show me the river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day
Lyrics
Good Lord above can't you know I'm pining
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver lining
Lift me to paradise

Show me the river, take me across
Wash all my troubles away
Like the lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day

Roll around, roll around heaven all day
Roll around, roll around heaven all day


. . .



(Horace Gerlach / Louis Armstrong)

If we never meet again,
I'll have a rose to remember
The snows of December
Will bring you back to me.
If we never meet again,
I'll fall asleep in the flowers
Dream of the hours
We spent in ecstacy

The leaves in the fall
Will wreak of the beauty
I found in your eyes
The birds in the spring
When they sing
Will tell me that love never dies

If we never meet again,
As sure as heaven above you
Forever I'll love you,
LyricsIf we never meet again.

The leaves in the fall
Will wreak of the beauty
I found in your eyes
The birds in the spring
When they sing
Will tell me that love never dies

If we never meet again
As sure as heaven above you
Forever I'll love you,
If we never meet again
