Who cares if the sky cares To fall in the sea? Who cares what banks fail in Yonkers, Long as you've got a kiss that conquers? Why should I care? Life is one long jubilee, So long as I care for you And you care for me! 

Yesterday

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday. Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be, There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh, yesterday came suddenly. Why she had to go I don't k...

Yesterdays

Yesterdays, yesterdays Days I knew as happy sweet sequestered days Olden days, golden days Days of mad romance and love Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine Joyous free and flaming life, forsooth was mine Sad am I, glad am I For today I'm dreaming of yeste...

You and the Night and the Music

You and the night and the music Fill me with flaming desire Setting my being completely on fire You and the night and the music Thrill me but will we be one After the night and the music are done? Until the pale light of dawning and daylight Our hearts will...

You Are the Sunshine of My Life

You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you'll stay in my heart I feel like this is the beginning Though I've loved you for a million years And if I thought our love was ending I'd find myself drow...

You Came a Long Way From St. Louis

You came a long way from St. Louis, you climbed the ladder of success, I've seen the town and country cars that were parked out in front of your fancy address. You came a long way from St. Louis, you broke a lotta hearts between, I've seen a gang of gloomy ga...

You Can Depend on Me

Though you say we're through, I'll always love you You know you can depend on me Though someone that you've met Has made you forget, You know you can depend on me I wish you success And loads of happiness For me, I guesss, I'll be lonely If you ever nee...

You Don't Know What Love Is

You don't know what love is 'Til you've learned the meaning of the blues Until you've loved a love you've had to lose, You don't know what love is. You don't know how lips hurt Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost, Until you've flipped your heart and y...

You Took Advantage of Me

In the spring when the feeling was chronic And my caution was leaving you flat, I should have made use of the tonic Before you gave me that! A mental deficient you'll grade me. I've given you plenty of data. You came, you saw and you slayed me, And that-a is t...

You Turned the Tables on Me

You turned the tables on me And now I'm falling for you; You turned the tables on me I can't believe that it's true. I always thought when you brought The lovely present you bought Why hadn't you brought me more, But now if you'd come I'd welcome anything from...

You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To

You'd be so nice to come home to You'd be so nice by the fire While the breeze on high sang a lullaby You'd be all that I could desire Under stars chilled by the winter Under an August moon burnin' above You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise To come home to and...

You're Getting To Be A Habit With Me

I don't know exactly how it started, But it started in fun; I just wanted someone to be gay with, To play with someone. But now I realize that I could never let you go, And I've come to tell you so; [Chorus] Every kiss, every hug Seems to act just like a drug...

You're My Everything

I'm so ashamed of my vocabulary, It isn't what it really ought to be. I have a task that isn't ordinary When I'm describing what you are to me, Can't you see? You're my everything underneath the sun, You're my everything rolled up into one. You're my only dre...

You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You

You're nobody till somebody loves you You're nobody till somebody cares You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold But gold won't bring you happiness, when you're growing old The world still is the same You'll never change it As sure as the...

You're the Top

At words poetic, I'm so pathetic That I always have found it best, Instead of getting 'em off my chest, To let 'em rest unexpressed. I hate parading my serenading As I'll probably miss a bar, But if this ditty is not so pretty, At least it'll tell you how grea...

Your Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Heart

You tell me that you love me, You really come on strong; You're the same with everybody, And you think that's nothin' wrong! You must be in your glory Whenever we're apart. I've checked up on your story; Your eyes are bigger than your heart! You tell me I'm y...
