Lena Horne

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
Every time
So weary all of the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and then they met me
If she stays away
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Just walk in that sun again
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy Weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
Every time
So weary all of the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and then they met me
If she stays away
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Just walk in that sun again
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy Weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

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 mornings
You're going to rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
but Till that morning
There ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mammy
Standing by
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
And you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There ain't nothing can harm you
With daddy and mammy
Standing, standing by

Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There?s a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it?s Christmas everyday

?Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There?s a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we?ll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies

There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide

Far across Tomorrow Mountain
There?s a life that's fancy and free
On a platinum street we?ll plant our feet
It?s the land that?s fair to see
Won?t you hurry there with me?

Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens, I?m told are lined with gold
And there ain?t no bills to pay

Can?t you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No.5?
And the gutters, I think are paved with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive

Pigs trot around already roasted
Won?t you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom, already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam

Can?t you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can?t you watch it glimmer and glow?
It?s a wonderful town that?s upside down
And it?s full of easy dough
Won?t you pack your bags and go?

Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live.

Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to,
But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live.

I never cared, but now I'm scared, I won't live long enough.
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains and eat an apple every day then see
The doctor anyway.

What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.

I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow
I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu,
And that would never never do

What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to.
Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.

Tear a star from out the sky,
And the sky feels blue,
Tear a petal from a rose,
And the rose weeps, too,
Take your heart away from mine,
And mine will surely break,
My life is yours to make,
So please keep this heart awake!Would you take the wings from birds,
So that they can't fly?
Would you take the ocean's roar
And leave just a sigh?
All this your heart won't let you do,
This is what I beg of you,
Don't take your love from me.
Don't take your love from me!

It's gonna rain any minute
There's not a star in sight
Things are mighty slow
I guess, I'll close up shop
And go home to Joe

I know he won't be glad to see me
Without a penny to the good
But I'm not carin' much what happens
I did the best I could
He's just good-for-nothin' Joe

But, oh, I love him so
Guess, I'd die if good-for-nothin' Joe
Ever tried to leave me flat
Oh yes, I'm certain of that

Folks I know can't understand
Why I must have that man
Lord, he sends me like nobody can
Ain't a woman just like that?

I wouldn't mind doin' what I'm doin'
I'd beat these streets till my feet were sore
But when it's slow and I go home to him
Instead of sympathy, he's just as mean as can be

Still there's nothin' I can do
Because I love him so
I'd be good for nothin' too, I know
Without good-for-nothin' Joe

I'd be good for nothin' too, I know
Without good-for-nothin' Joe
I'm goin' home to Joe

It's love, it's love
Well, who would have thought it?
If this is love then why have I fought it?

What a way to feel I could touch the sky
What a way to feel I have found my guy

It's love at last I've someone to cheer for
It's love at last I've learned what we're here for
I've heard it said, "You'll know it when you see it"
Well is see it's, I know it's, its love

It's love, it's love
Well, who would have thought it?
If this is love then why have I fought it?

What a way to feel I could touch the sky
What a way to feel I have found my guy

It's love at last, I've someone to cheer for
It's love at last, I've learned what we're here for
I've heard it said, "You'll know it when you see it"
Well I see it's, I know it's, I feel it's, it's love

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts,
Boy, how they could love!
Swore to be true to each other,
True as the stars above!
'Cause he was her man,
But he done her wrong!

One night Frankie happened to pass by the hotel;
Just casually glanced into a window so high,
And who did she see but her lovin' man
Lovin' up old Nellie Bligh!
She caught her man
Doin' her wrong!

Well, she went round the corner to her favourite pawn shop;
This time she didn't go there for fun!
'Cause when she left, underneath her long red kimono,
She was totin' a forty-four gun!
She was gunnin' for her man
Who was doin' her wrong!

Then back Frankie dashed to that hotel,
Started yankin' the bell!
She said, "Stand back, you madam and floozies,
Or I'll blow each and every one of you straight to hell!
I want my man
Who's done me wrong!".

Johnnie, in panic, mounted the staircase,
Screamin', "Oh Frankie, don't shoot!"
Three times she pulled a trigger on a forty-four gun,
The gun went, "Root-toot-toot!".
She nailed her man
Who'd done her wrong!

So they put her away in a dungeon,
Way up in a dark dingy cell
In the south east corner of a jail,
Where the wind seemed to blow straight from hell!
For killin' her man
Who done her wrong!

But the day Frankie mounted the scaffold,
She was just as calm as any gal could be!
And raising her eyes to heaven she cried,
"Lord, I'm comin' to thee!
I'm sorry I killed my man
Who done me wrong!".

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time
Every time
So weary all of the time
When she went away
The blues walked in and then they met me
If she stays away
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Just walk in that sun again
Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy Weather
Since my gal and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

It's love, it's love
Well, who would have thought it?
If this is love then why have I fought it?

What a way to feel I could touch the sky
What a way to feel I have found my guy

It's love at last I've someone to cheer for
It's love at last I've learned what we're here for
I've heard it said, "You'll know it when you see it"
Well is see it's, I know it's, its love

It's love, it's love
Well, who would have thought it?
If this is love then why have I fought it?

What a way to feel I could touch the sky
What a way to feel I have found my guy

It's love at last, I've someone to cheer for
It's love at last, I've learned what we're here for
I've heard it said, "You'll know it when you see it"
Well I see it's, I know it's, I feel it's, it's love
