All I want for Christmas is you You’re the gift that’s made my dreams all come true All I need for Christmas is here, Finding every sweet surprise Wrapped up in your eyes, Waiting there for me Underneath the tree We’ll spend the day exchanging kisses, Smil...

Give me a kiss to build a dream on And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss Sweetheart, I ask no more than this A kiss to build a dream on Give me a kiss before you leave me And my imagination will feed my hungry heart Leave me one thing before we part A...

A time for summer skies For hummingbirds and butterflies For tender words that harmonize with love A time for climbing hills For leaning out of window sills Admiring the daffodils above A time for holding hands together A time for rainbow-colored weather A t...

I was never spellbound by a starry sky What is there to moon glow, when love has passed you by Then there came a midnight and the world was new Now here am I so spellbound, darling Not by stars, but just by you At last my love has come along My lonely days ar...

While other lovers sing your praisesin phases deftly lyrical. I'm a cat who's better at a scat songthat's satirical In begging for your hand, sweet chick I hope you'll understand this lick. My love to you I bring on account a you can sing Bli-Blip Varthy...

Once upon a time Before I took up smiling I hated the moonlight! Shadows of the night That poets find beguiling Seemed flat as the moonlight With no one to stay up for I went to bed at ten Life was a bitter cup For the saddest of all women Blue moon you saw...

My mama done tol' me, When I was in pigtails, My mama done tol' me, 'Hon, A man's gonna sweet talk And give you the big eye. But when the sweet talk is done, A man is a two-face A worrisome thing Who'll leave you to sing, The blues in the night' Now...

My heart is sad and lonely For you I sigh, for you dear only Why haven't you seen it I'm all for you body and soul I spend my days in longing And wondering why it's me you're wronging I tell you I mean it I'm all for you body and soul I can't believe it It's...

Love is funny or it's sad, Or it's quiet or it's mad, It's a good thing or it's bad, But beautiful! Beautiful to take a chance And if you fall, you fall, And I'm thinking I wouldn't mind at all. Love is tearful or it's gay. It's a problem or it's play, It's...

They're writing songs of love, but not for me A lucky star's above, but not for me With love to lead the way I found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play could guarantee I was a fool to fall and get that way Hi ho! Alas! And also lack-a-day! Although I c...

Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam Or maybe I'll go to Rome I'm gonna rent me a grand piano Put some flowers 'round my room Oh, but let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now The night's a starry dome And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll Beneath the matel of...

Comes a rain storm put your rubbers on your feet Comes a snow storm you can get a little heat Comes love nothing can be done Comes a fire then you know just what to do Blow a tire you can buy another shoe Comes love nothing can be done Don't try hiding 'caus...

Someone told someone and someone told you But they wouldn't hurt you, not much Since everyone spread the story With his own little personal touch Do nothin' till you hear from me Pay no attention to what's said Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream Is o...

I know too well that I'm just wasting precious time In thinking such a thing could be That you could ever care for me I'm sure you hate to hear That I adore you, dear But grant me Just the same I'm not entirely to blame For love You'd be so easy to love So ea...

Embrace me My sweet embraceable you Embrace me Youirreplaceable you Just one look at you My heart grew tipsy in me You and you alone Bring out the gypsy in me I love all The many charms around you Above all I want my arms about you Don't be a naughty baby Com...

Ev'rytime we say goodbye I die a little, Ev'rytime we say goodbye I wonder why a little, Why the gods above me Who must be in the know Think so little of me They allow you to go. When you're near There's such an air Of spring about it, I can hear a...

Good morning heartache, you old gloomy sight Good morning heartache, thought we said goodbye last night I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone But here you are with the dawn Wish I'd forget you, but you're here to stay It seems I met you when my lov...

Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on, our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay From now on, our troubles will be miles away Here we are as in olden days Happy golden...

Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams Funny, but here's that rainy day Here's that rainy day they told me about And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside After it brought my lover nea...

How much do I love you? I'll tell you no lie How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? How many times a day do I think of you? How many roses are sprinkled with dew? How far would I travel To be where you are? How far is the journey From here to a star? A...

Somewhere there's music How faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven How high the moon There is no moon above When love is far away too Till it comes true That you love me as I love you Somewhere there's music How near, how far Somewhere there's heaven It's wh...

I could cry salty tears, Where have I been all these years? Little wow, tell me now, How long has this been going on? There were chills up my spine, And some thrills I can't define. Listen, sweet, I repeat, How long has this been going on? Oh, I feel that I...

Never treats me sweet and gentle The way he should I've got it bad And that ain't good My poor heart is sentimental Not made of wood I've got it bad And that ain't good And when the weekend's over And Monday rolls around I end up like I start out Just crying...

~~~♫~scat~♫ ~~~ I never cared much for moonlit skies I never wink back at fireflies But now that the stars are in your eyes I'm beginning to see the light I never went in for afterglow Or candlelight on the mistletoe But now when you turn the lamp down low I...

In a restaurant by the sea On a liquid afternoon For a moment eyes collide And the world's periphery Now your pupils learn the sun To reflect it brighter back In a moment I'll come to And retrieve a sip of wine But for now, I drink you in Inches separate our...

In A Sentimental Mood I can see the stars come thru my room While your loving attitude Is like a flame that lights the gloom On the wings of ev'ry kiss Drift a melody so strange and sweet In this sentimental bliss you make my Paradise complete Rose pearls s...

It had to be you It had to be you I wandered around And finally found somebody who Could make me feel blue Could make me be true And even be glad Just to be sad Thinking of you Some others I've seen. Might never be mean Might never be cross Or try to be boss...

I took my love and I took it down I climbed a mountain then I turned around And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills Till the landslide brought me down Oh, mirror in the sky what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through t...

A far pink cloud hangs over the hill Unfolding like a rose If you hold my hand and sit real still You can hear the grass as it grows It's a hazy afternoon and I know a place that's quiet Except for daisies running riot And there's no one passing by it to see...

Let's fall in love Why shouldn't we fall in love? Our hearts are made of it Let's take a chance Why be afraid of it? Let's close our eyes And make our own paradise Little we know of it Still we can try To make a go of it We might have been meant fo...

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars, Hearing guitars like someone in love. Sometimes the things I do astound me, Mostly whenever you're around me. Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, Bump into things like someone in love. Each time I look at...

It's very clear, our love is here to stay Not for a year but ever and a day The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know May just be passing fancies and in time may go But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay Together we're going a long, long way...

The sky was blue And high above The moon was new And so was love This eager heart of mine was singing Lover where can you be You came at last Love had its day That day is past You've gone away This aching heart of mine is singing Lover come back to me When I...

Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I Always hear when you sigh Never in my wordland Could there be ways to reveal In a phrase how I feel Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic Music we make with our lips wh...

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud, I can't understand I get misty, just holding your hand. Walk my way, And a thousand violins begin to play, Or it might be the sound of your „hello”, That music I hear....

You’re My funny Valentine Sweet comic Valentine You make me smile with my heart Your looks are laughable, Unphotographable Yet you're my favorite work of art Is your figure less than Greek? Is your mouth a little weak? When you open it to speak, Are you sma...

The very thought of you makes my heart sing Like an April breeze on the wings of spring, And you appear in all your splendor, My one and only love. The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms In the hush of night while you're in my arms. I feel your lips,...

The man who only lives for making money Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny Likewise the man who works for fame There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment Is the kind that is for girl and...

Listen to my tale of woe, It's terribly sad but true, All dressed up, no place to go Each evening I'm awfully blue. I must win some handsome guy Can't go on like this, I could blossom out I know, With somebody just like you. So Oh, sweet and lovely la...

I look at you and suddenly Something in your eyes I see Soon begins bewitching me It's that old devil moon That you stole from the skies It's that old devil moon in your eyes You and your glance Make this romance Too hot to handle Stars in the night Blazing...

So often as I wait for sleep I find myself reciting The words I've said or should have said Like scenes that need rewriting The smiles I never answered Doors perhaps I should have opened Songs forgotten in the morning I relived the roles I've played The tear...

You're clear out of this world When I'm looking at you, I hear out of this world The music that no mortal ever knew. You're right out of a book, The fairy tale I read when I was so high; No armoured knight out of a book Could find a more enchanted Lorelei tha...

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true. Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are...

Skylark Have you anything to say to me? Won't you tell me where my love can be? Is there a meadow in the mist Where someone's waiting to be kissed? Skylark Have you seen a valley green with spring? Where my heart can go a journeying Over the shadows and the r...

I can remember the rain in December The leaves of brown on the ground In Spain I did love and adore you The nights filled with joy were our yesterdays And tomorrow will bring you near me I can recall my desire every reverie is on fire Can I get a picture of a...

Evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly Then you and I came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly Your arm...

That old black magic has me in its spell, That old black magic that you weave so well Those icy fingers up and down my spine, The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine, The same old tingle that I feel inside And then that elevator starts its ride, And,...

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum You came along and everything's startin' to hum Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine? You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine Wa...

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos. Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will fi...

She was working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens. 'Till her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes. What was she to do? Where was she to go? She was out on her fanny. So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door. She was th...

It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no It's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no Its just the nearness of you When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me All...

This is our last dance together Tonight soon will be long ago And in our moment of parting This is all I want you to know There will be many other nights like this, And I'll be standing here with someone new, There will be other songs to sing, Another fall,...

Somewhere, someday We'll be close together, wait and see Oh, by the way This time the dream's on me You'll take my hand And you'll look at me adoringly But as things stand This time the dream's on me It would be fun To be certain that I'm the one To know tha...

What is this thing called love? This funny thing called love? Just who can solve its mystery? Why should it make a fool of me? I saw you there one wonderful day. You took my heart and you threw it away. That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above; What is this...

Tonight you're mine, completely You give your soul so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes But will you love me tomorrow Is this a lasting treasure Or just a moment's pleasure Can I believe the magic in your sighs And will you still love me tomor...

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 go to my head, And you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne. You go to my head Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep...
