The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay The glory that was Rome is of another day I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan I'm going home to my city by the Bay I left my heart in San Francisco High on a hill, it calls to me To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care My love waits there in San Francisco Above the blue and windy sea When I come home to you, San Francisco Your golden sun will shine for me
Because of you there's a song in my heart Because of you my romance had its start Because of you the sun will shine The moon and stars will say you're mine Forever and never to part I only live for your love and your kiss It's paradise to be near you like this Because of you my life is now worthwhile And I can smile Because of youI only live for your love and your kiss It's paradise to be near you like this Because of you my life is now worthwhile And I can smile Because of you
Rags To Riches From the Movie "Goodfellas" Performed by Tony Bennett I know I go from rags to riches If you would only you say you care And though my pocket maybe empty I'll be a millionaire My clothes may still be torn and tattled But in my heart I'd b
Just In Time Tony Bennett Words by Betty Comden and Adolph Green Music by Jule Styne Peaked at # 46 in 1956 Sung in the musical "Bells Are Ringing" by Judy Holliday and Sydney ChaplinJust in time, I found you just in time Before you came, my time was runnin' low I was lost, the losin' dice were tossed My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go Now you're here and now I know just where I'm goin' No more doubt or fear, I found my way For love came just in time You found me just in time And changed my lonely life that lovely dayMm, I was lost, the losin' dice were tossed My bridges all were crossed, nowhere to go Now you're here and now I know just where I'm goin' No more doubt or fear, I found my way For love came just in time You found me just in time And changed my lonely life that lovely day
Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise All lost in a wonderland A stranger in paradise If I stand starry-eyed That's a danger in paradise For mortals who stand beside an angel like you I saw your face and I ascended Out of the commonplace into the rare
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces When somebody breaks your heart Some somebody twice as smart as I A somebody who will swear to be true As you used to do with me Who'll leave you to learn That mis'ry loves company, wait and see I mean, I wanna be around to see how he does it When he breaks your heart to bits Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet As I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seat When somebody breaks your heart Like you, like you broke mine
Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal Mm, the good life lets you hide all the sadness you feel You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance So please be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romanceIt's the good life to be free and explore the unknown Like the heartaches when you learn you must face them alone Please remember I still want you, and in case you wonder why Well, just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye
The Shadow Of Your Smile (Love Theme from The Sandpiper) - Tony Bennett
One day we walked along the sand one day in early spring . . . You held a piper in your hand to mend it's broken wing Now, I'll remember many a day an' many a lonely mile The echo of a piper's song an' the shadow of a smile! The shadow of your smile when you are gone . . . will color all my dreams and light the dawn . . . Look into my eyes, my love, and see all the lovely things you are . . . you are to me! Our wistful little star was far too high . . . A teardrop kissed your lips and so did I . . . Now, when I remember spring, all the joy that love can bring . . . I will be remembering, the shadow of your smile! Now, when I remember spring, all the joy that love can bring . . . I will be remembering, the shadow of your smile!
Gray skies are gonna clear up, Put on a happy face; Brush off the clouds and cheer up, Put on a happy face. Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, It's not your style; You'll look so good that you'll be glad Ya' decide to smile! Pick out a pleasant outlook, Stick out that noble chin; Wipe off that "full of doubt" look, Slap on a happy grin! And spread sunshine all over the place, Just put on a happy face! Put on a happy face Put on a happy face And if you're feeling cross and bitterish Don't sit and whine Think of banana split and licorice And you'll feel fine I knew a girl so glooming She'd never laugh or sing She wouldn't listen to me Now she's a mean old thing So spread sunshine all over the place Just put on a happy face So, put on a happy face
If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring Every heart would have a new song to sing And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bringIf I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird, Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard Take my word we would treasure each day that occurredMy world would be a beautiful place Where we would weave such wonderful dreams My world would wear a smile on its face Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend There'd be happiness that no man coud end No my friend, not if I ruled the world Every head would be held up high There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world
Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it??쨈s breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you??쨈ll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You??쨈ll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That??쨈s the time you must keep on trying Smile, what??쨈s the use of crying? You??쨈ll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
That??쨈s the time you must keep on trying Smile, what??쨈s the use of crying? You??쨈ll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile
NIGHT AND DAY by Tony Bennett Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom when the jungle shadows fall Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock as it stands against the wall Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops when a summer shower is through So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you 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 through 'till you let me spend my life making love to you day and night, night and day
Blue velvet wow woo she wore blue velvet Bluer than velvet was the night Softer than satin was the light From the stars she wore blue velvet Bluer than velvet were her eyes Warmer than may her tender sighs Love was ours ours a love I held tightly Feeling the rapture grow Like a flame burning brightly But when she left gone was the glow of Blue velvet but in my heart There'll always be precious andWarm a memory through the years And I still can see blue velvet Through my tears she wore bluevelvet But in my heart there'll always be Precious and warm a memory Through the years and I still can see Blue velvet through my tears Blue velvetwoo
Steppin' out with my baby Can't go wrong cause I'm in right It's for sure, not for maybe That I'm all dressed up tonight
Steppin' out with my honey Can't be bad to feel so good Never felt quite so sunny And I keep on knockin' wood
There'll be smooth sailin' 'Cause I'm trimmin' my sails In my top hat and my white tie and my tails
Steppin' out with my baby Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right Ask me when will that day be The big day may be TONIGHT!
If I seem to scintillate It's because I've got a date A date with a package of The good things that come with love You don't have to ask me I won't waste your time But if you should ask me Why I feel sublime Dance!
There'll be smooth sailin' 'Cause I'm trimmin' my sails In my top hat and my white tie and my tails
Steppin' out with my baby Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right Ask me when will the day be The big day may be tonight
Today is just another day, tomorrow is a guess But yesterday, oh, what I'd give for yesterday To relive one yesterday and its happinessWhen Joanna loved me Every town was Paris Every day was Sunday Every month was MayWhen Joanna loved me Every sound was music Music made of laughter Laughter that was bright and gayBut when Joanna left me May became December But, even in December, I remember Her touch, her smile, and for a little whileShe loves me And once again it's Paris Paris on a Sunday And the month is May
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum You came along and everything started to hum Still it's a real good bet the best is yet to comeThe best is yet to come and, babe, won't it be fine? You think you've seen the sun but you ain't seen it shineWait till the warm-up's underway Wait till our lips have met Wait till you see that sunshine day You ain't seen nothin' yet!The best is yet to come and, babe, won't it be fine? The best is yet to come, come the day you're mineCome the day you're mine, I'm gonna teach you to fly We're gonna taste of the wine We're gonna drain the cup dryWait till your charms are right for these arms to surround You think you've flown before but you ain't left the groundWait till you're locked in my embrace Wait till I draw you near Wait till you see that sunshine place Ain't nothin' like it here!The best is yet to come and, babe, won't it be fine The best is yet to come, come the day you're mineSPOKEN: "Ho, ho" Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum You came alongand everything started to hum
