BEAUTIFUL LOVE
Beautiful love, you are a mystery
Beautiful love, what have you done to me?
I was contented
‘Til you came along
Thrilling my soul with your song
Beautiful love, I’ve roamed your paradise
Searching for love, my dream to realize
Reaching for heaven
Depending on you
Beautiful love, will my dreams come true?
TOO LATE NOW
Too late now, to forget your smile
The way we cling when we dance awhile
Too late now, to forget and go on to someone new
Too late now, to forget your voice
The way one word makes my heart rejoice
Too late now, to imagine myself away from you
All the things we’ve done together
I re-live while we’re apart
All the tender fun together
Stays around in my heart
How can I ever close the door?
And be the same as I was before
Darling no, no I can’t anymore
It’s too late now
WHISPER NOT
Speak low, speak clear
Sweet words in my ear
Not a whisper of despair
But love’s own prayer
Speak on, until
You bring back the thrill
Of a sentimental tune
That died too soon
Our harmony was lost
But you forgave and forgot
Whisper not of quarrels past
You know we’ve had our last
So now, we’ll be
On key constantly
Love will whisper on and on
Eternally!
SOPHISTICATED LADY
They say into your early life romance came
And in this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then with disillusion in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you somehow, I see you now... Smokin’, drinkin’,
never thinkin’ of tomorrow
Non-chalant
Diamonds shinin’, dancin’, dinin’ with some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No! Sophisticated Lady, I know
You miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh, you cry...
MEAN TO ME
Sweetheart I love you
Think the world of you
But I’m afraid you don’t care for me
You never show it
Don’t let me know it
Everyone says I’m a fool to be
Pining the whole day through
Why do you act like you do?
You’re mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee honey it seems to me
You love to see me cryin’
I don’t know why I stay home
Each night when you say you’ll phone
You don’t and I’m left alone
Singing the blues and sighing
You treat me coldly
Each day of the year
You always scold me
Whenever somebody is near, dear
It must be
Great fun to be mean to me
You shouldn’t for can’t you see
What you mean to me?
SINCE I FELL FOR YOU
When you just give love
And never get love
You’d better let love depart
I know it’s so
And yet I know
I can’t get you out of my heart
You made me leave my happy home
You took my love and now you’re gone
Since I fell for you
Life brings such misery and pain
I know I’ll never be the same
Since I fell for you
Well it’s too bad
And it’s too sad
But I’m in love with you
First you love me
Then you snub me
But what can I do
I’m still in love with you
Oh I guess I’ll never see the light
I get these blues most every night
Since I fell for you
THE SONG IS YOU
I hear music when I think of you
A beautiful them of every dream I ever knew
Down deep in my heart
I hear it play
I feel it start then melt away
I hear music when I touch your hand
A beautiful melody from some enchanted land
Down deep in my heart
I hear it say, "Is this the day?"
I alone have heard this lovely strain
I alone have heard this glad refrain
Must it be forever inside of me
Why can’t I let it go?
Why can’t I let you know?
Why can’t I let you know the song my heart would sing
That beautiful rhapsody of love and youth and spring
The music is sweet, the words are true
The song is you
I AIN’T GOT NOTHIN’ BUT THE BLUES
Ain’t got the change of a nickel
Ain’t got no bounce in my shoes
Ain’t got one fancy to tickle
I ain’t got nothin’ bit the blues
Ain’t got no coffee that’s a perkin’
Ain’t got no winnin’s to lose
Haven’t got a dream that’s a workin’
I ain’t got nothin’ but the blues
When troubles flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can’t made it come down
Believe me pappy
I can’t get happy
Since my ever lovin’ baby left town
Can’t get no rest in my slumbers
Ain’t got no feelings to bruise
Haven’t got a single telephone number
I ain’t got nothin’ but the blues
SOME OTHER TIME
Where has the time all gone to?
Haven’t done half the things we want to, oh...
Oh well, we’ll catch up some other time
This day was just a token
Too many words are still unspoken, oh...
Oh well, we’ll catch up some other time
Just when the fun is starting
Comes the time for parting
But let’s be glad for what we’ve had
And what’s to come
There’s so much more embracing
Still to be done but time is racing, oh...
Oh well, we’ll catch up some other time |
