Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do to you You're in love Your heart's a flutter and all day long You only shutter Cuz your poor tongue Just won't utter the words I love you Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do Wait a while Till a little moonbeam comes peepin' through You'll get bold You can't resist him And all you'll say When you have kissed him is Ooh, ooh, ooh What a little moonlight can do |

Arthur Swanstrom / Hanley
Like a little old fashioned music box With just one tune to play My heart keeps singin' I love you Twenty four hours a day Like a little old fashioned music box That skips a note or two My heart keeps missin' a heart beat Singin' its song about you And although the song we know is old It's still the sweetest story ever told |

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 gent@y 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 |

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 |

You're so desirable I just can't resist you You're so desirable I have to give in That tirm resolve I made Has vanished away now I'm happy to say now You win You're so adorable The moment I saw you It's just deplorable The fool that I've been And yet I'm glad You've got my heart dear Like a butterfly on a pin You're so desirable I had to give in |

I'll forget your tender kiss I'll be brave after this kiss I'll say "Hello my darling" It we should meet again You'll forbid the tears to slip You'll behave, bite your lip And say "Hello my darling" If we should meet again If we do meet again Our moments can't be sweet again Oh my love, go my love Though it's a bitter pill, I know my love Please remember not to sigh Over this last goodbye Just say "Hello my darling" If we should meet again |

Let's dream in the moonlight Tell me that you love me Tell the stars above me What's in you heart Let's dream in the moonlight Say you're glad you found me Put your arms around me Before we part Even though it's just pretending And the night is almost through I can say I'm only lending When I give my heart to you Let's dream in the moonlight Let your lips touch mine Though we're only dreaming tonight Tonight |

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true Whether you remain or wander I'm growing fonder of you Even though your friends forsake you Even though you don't succeed Wouldn't I be glad to take you Give you the break you need More than you know More than you know Man o' my heart I love you so Lately I find You're on my mind More than you know Whether you're right Whether you're wrong Man o' my heart I'll string along You need me so More than you'll ever know Loving you the way that I do There's nothing I can do about it Loving may be all you can give But, honey, I can't live without it Oh, how I'd cry Oh, how I'd cry If you got tired and said goodbye More than I'd show More than you'd ever know |

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 Call with a weird savage tune Through the night comes melodies entrancing All through the night in pairs the world romancing My own heart calls too Jungle sweetheart for you Under a blue jungle moon Through the night comes melodies entrancing All through the night in pairs the world romancing My own heart calls too Jungle sweetheart for you Under a blue jungle moon |

Like the beat, beat, beat of the tomtom 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 the summer show'r 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 sun Whether near 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 it's torment won't be trough 'till you spent my life making love to you Day and night Night and day Night and day |

W.C. Handy
Love is like a hydrant turns off and on Like some friendships when your money's gone Love stands in with the loan sharks when your heart's in tongs It I had some strong wings like an aeroplane Had some broad wings like an aeroplane I would fly away forever Hover to come again Oh love oh love oh loveless love Has said our hearts are goldiess gold From milkless milk and silkless silk We are growing used to soul-less souls Such grafting times we never saw That's why we have a pure full law In everything we find a flaw Even love oh love oh loveless love Just to fly away from loveless love |

Georgia
Georgia, the whole day through Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia Georgia, a song of you Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you Georgia Georgia, no peace I find Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind |

Romance in the dark with you All at once I knew Darlin' love was near I thrill to my finger tips I could feel your lips Darlin' oh so near The music was so entrancing The lights all began to fade I said to myself keep dancing But only my heart obeyed A flame grew from just a spark When I found romance in the dark with you |

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose So the Bible said and it still is news Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Yes, the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Money, you've got lots of friends Crowding round the door When you're gone, spending ends They don't come no more Rich relations give Crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own He just worry 'bout nothin' Cause he's got his own |

Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire I never seem to set his love afire Gone are the years I've wasted on him Sometimes when I get feelin' low I say let's call it quits Then I hang on and let him go Breakin' my heart in bits Someday I know that Jim will up and leave me But even if he does you can believe me I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim I'll go on lovin' my Jim |

I'd wait for you I'd slave for you I'd be a beggar or a knave for you If that isn't love, it will have to do Until the real thing comes along I'd gladly move The earth for you To prove my love, dear And its worth for you If that isn't love, it will have to do Until the real thing comes along. With all the words, dear, at my command I just can't make you understand I'll always love you darling Come what may My heart is yours What more can I say? I'd lie for you I'd sigh for you I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you If that isn't love, it will have to do Until the real thing comes along With all the words, dear, at my command I just can't make you understand I'll always love you baby Come what may My heart is yours What more can I say? I'd lie for you I'd cry for you I'd lay my body down and die tor you If that isn't love, it will have to do Until the real thing comes along |

Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans I miss it, each night and day The longer I stay away Miss the moist covered vines The tall sugar pines Where mocking birds use to sing And I like to see the lazy Mississippi Are hurrying to spring The Mardi Gras memories Of creol tunes that fill the air I dream of oleanders in June And soon I'm wishing that I was there Do you know what is means to miss New Orleans And there is something more I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans |

I Cover The Waterfront
Johnny W. Green / Edward Heyman Away from the city that hurts and knocks, I'm standing alone by the desolate docks in the still and the chill of the night I see the horizon the great unknown my heart has an ache it's as heavy as stone with the dawn coming on, make it last I cover the waterfront I'm watching the sea Will the one I love Be coming back to me I cover the waterfront In search of my love An I'm covered By a starlit sky above Here am I Patiently waiting Hoping and longing Oh how I yearn Where are you Have you thought back time Will you remember Will you return Will the one I love Be coming back To me............ |

I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I never had Never had no kissin' Oh, what I've been missin' Lover man, oh, where can you be? The night is cold and I'm so alone I'd give my soul just to call you my own Got a moon above me But no one to love me Lover man, oh, where can you be? I've heard it said That the thrill of romance Can be like a heavenly dream I go to bed with a prayer That you'll make love to me Strange as it seems Someday we'll meet And you'll dry all my tears Then whisper sweet Little things in my ear Hugging and a-kissing Oh, what I've been missing Lover man, oh, where can you be? |

Black cats creep across my path Until I'm almost mad I must have 'roused the devil's wrath 'Cause all my luck is bad I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains I guess I'll go thru life just catchin colds and missin' trains Everything happens to me I never miss a thing I've had the measels and the mumps And every time I play an ace My partner always trumps Guess I'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps Everything happens to me At first my heart tho't you could break this jinx for me that love would turn the trick to end despair But know I just can't fool this head that thinks for me I've mortgaged all my castles in the air I've telegraphed and phoned I send an 'Airmail Special' too Your answer was 'Goodbye' And there was even postage due I fell in love just once And then it had to be with you Everything happens to me |

If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the dew That was my heart serenading you My PRELUDE TO A KISS If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes That was my heart trying to compose A PRELUDE TO A KISS Though it's just a simple melody with nothing fancy, nothing much You could turn it to a simphony a Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch Oh! How My love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes My love is a prelude that never dies A PRELUDE TO A KISS. |

Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me Gone my lovely dreams Lovely summer dreams Gone and left me here To wheep my tears along the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say thay love has sinned To leave my heart a sign And crying alone Murmur to the night Hide her starry light So none will find me sighing Crying all alone Wheeping willow tree Wheeping sympathy Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me Listen to me plee Hear me willow and weep for me Willow Willow Wheep for me |

My love must be a kind of blind love, I can't see anyone but you And dear, I wonder if you find love, an optical illusion, too? Are the stars out tonight? I don't know if it's cloudy or bright cause I only have eyes for you. The moon may be high, but I can't see a thing in the sky, cause I only have eyes for you. I don't know if we're in a garden, or on a crowded avenue. You are here, so am I. Maybe millions of people go by but they all disappear from view, and I only have eyes for you. |

It cost me a lot
But theres one thing that I've got Its my man Its my man Cold or wet Tired, you bet All of this I'lll soon forget With my man He is not much on looks He is no hero out of books But I love him Yes, I love him Two or three girls has he That he likes as well as me But I love him I dont know why I should He isn't true He beats me, too What can I do? Oh, my man, I love him so He'll never know All my life is just a spare But I dont care When he takes me in his arms The world is bright All right What's the difference if I say I'll go away When I know I'll come back On my knees someday For whatever my man is I'm his forevermore |

You told me that I'd be wearing diamonds I would have the smartest car in town Made me think that I'm the top And then you let the ladder drop You know you let me down, let me down I walked upon a rainbow I clung onto a star You had me up in heaven That's why I had to tall so far I was even looking for a cottage I was measured for a wedding gown That how I got cynical You put me on a pinnacle And then you let me down, let me down How you let me down |

Ghost of yesterday Stalking 'round my room All night long you stay Walk around 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 Yesterday |

Carelessly
Charles F. Kenney / Nick Kenney / N. Ellis How carelessly You gave me your heart And carelessly I broke it, sweetheart I took each tender kiss you gave to me Every kiss made you a slave to me Then carelessly I told you good-bye But now at night I wake up and cry I wish I knew a way to find the love I threw away so carelessly |

Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless Dear as the shadows I live with are numberless Little white flowers Will never awaken you Not where the black culture's Sorrow has taken you Angels have no thoughts Of ever returning you Wouldn't they be angry If I thought of joining you? Gloomy Sunday Sunday is gloomy, with shadows I spend it all My heart and I Have decided to end it all Soon there'll be flowers And prayers that I say I know But let them not weep Let them know That I'm glad to go For death is no dream And in death I'm caressing you With the last Breath of my soul I'll be blessing you Gloomy Sunday Dreaming, I was only dreaming I awake and I find You asleep in the deep of my heart Deep Darling I hope That my dream never haunted you My heart is telling you How much I wanted you Gloomy Sunday |

I'll never be the same Guys have lost their meaning for me I'll never be the same Nothin's what it once used to be And when the song birds that sing Tell me it's spring I can't believe their song Once love was king But kings can be wrong I'll never be the same There is such an ache in my heart I'll never be the same Since we're apart But there's a lot that a smile can hide And I know deep down inside I'll never be the same Never be the same again |

Living for you, is easy living.
It's easy to live when you're in love. And, I'm so in love, There's nothing in life, but you. I'll never regret the years I'm giving. They're easy to give when you're in love. I'm happy to do whatever I do, for you. For you...maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun. People say you rule me with one wave of your hand. Darling, it's grand. They just don't understand. Living for you is easy living. It's easy to live when you're in love. And, I'm so in love, There's nothing in life, but you. |

A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places Still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumblin'words That told you what my heart meant A fair ground painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be The winds of march that made my heart a dancer A telephone that rings but who's to answer Oh, how the ghost of you clings These foolish things remind me of you |

How Could You
Al Dubin / Harry Warren Just when romance got a start You decided it was time to part How could you? How could you? It was on a night like this You left me and didn't leave a kiss How could you? How could you? You know that love is just like apple pie It's either sweet or tart You could be the apple of my eye But you, you, you upset the apple cart I was looking forward to All those little things you didn't do How'could you, Could you break my heart? |

Like the beat, beat, beat of the tomtom 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 the summer show'r 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 sun Whether near 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 it's torment won't be trough 'till you spent my life making love to you Day and night Night and day Night and day |

Never dared to have your arms around me Not that I considered it a sin But tonight I want your arms around me It's the mood that I'm in Can it be the music that they're playin' Or the magic of the violin That intrigues my heart to obeyin' It's the mood that I'm in Maybe it's the cocktail that I'm sippin' Tonight I'm so romantically inclined So speak to me of love In words so tender Let the rhapsody of life begin I could give my heart in sweet surrender It's the mood I'm in |

It´s like reaching for the sun It´s like reaching for the stars Reaching for you You´re so far above me How can I expect an angel to love me Who is so divine as you are? It´s like flying without wings Playing fiddle without strings And a million other things No one can do Though, my hopes are slender In my secret heart I pray you´ll surrender soon Though, it´s like reaching for the moon |

Blood on the leaves and blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth Scent of magnolia sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crow to pluck For the rain to wither, for the wind to suck For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop |
