Ain't she sweet? See her walking down that street. Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain't she sweet? Ain't she nice? Look her over once or twice. Yes I ask you very confidentially, ain't she nice? Just cast an eye in her direction, oh me oh my, ain't that pe...

I want to love you All night long. Nobody but you All night long. I want to give you a whole lot of kissing. I want to give you the love you've been missing. I want you to know that I love so true And I'll do anything for you. If you will be mine All night...

We meet and the angels sing The angels sing the sweetest song I've ever heard You speak and the angels sing Or am I reading music into every word? Suddenly the setting is strange I can see water and moonlight beaming Silver waves that break on some undiscover...

I don't want you, but I'd hate to lose you You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea I forgive you, 'cause I can't forget you You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea [Repeat: x2] I ought to cross you off my list But when you co...

~~~♫♫♫~~~ Blue and sentimental My dreams are blue dreams, Just won’t come true dreams I find Blue and sentimental I can’t forget you My heart won’t let you Out of my mind It rains all the time Since you said good-bye My eyes, my lips And my heart all cry Blue...

Don't blame me for falling in love with you I'm under your spell but how can I help it! Don't' blame me! Why can't you see when you do the things you do That I can't conceal the thrill that I'm feeling? Don't blame me. I can't help it if that doggoned moon a...

Don't worry about me. I'll get along. Forget about me. Be happy my love. Just say that our little show is over and so the story ends. Why not call it a day the sensible way and still be friends? Just look out for yourself Should be the rule. Give your heart...

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you. Embrace me, you irreplaceable 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 about you; Above all, I want my arms about you. Don't be a naug...

Every now and then There's a longing in my heart, Every now and then Ever since we've been apart. You don't know how much I miss you, How I long to kiss you Every now and then. But every now and then, I keep wondering how you are And asking everyone, "Are you...

I used to have a perfect sweetheart Not a real one, just a dream A wonderful vision of us as a team Can you imagine how I feel now Love is real now, it's ideal You're just what I wanted And now it's nice to live Paradise to live I know why I've waited Know wh...

Oh fortune tellin' man Please tell me if you can Where where my papa was last night. He plays harp fiddle in a band uptown. Oh tell me can it be that he's been fiddling around. Oh fortune tellin' man Please tell me how I stand. Is my papa treating me wrong or...

What makes me treat you the way that I do Gee baby, ain't I good to you? Now there's nothing in this world Too good for a boy sotrue Ain't, baby, ain't I good to you? I gave you a coat for Christmas A diamond ring Big Cadillac car and everything Butlove, lo...

Though I should hate him cause he's always wrong, Instead I go and get him and just beg him back home. He's just a devil, but folks on the level I love him though he don't love me anymore. When we have a quarrell I've got him so spoiled. You'll see him packin...

Ev'ning marks the close of day, Skies of blue begin to grey, Crimson hues are fading in the West; Ev'ning ever brings to me Dreams of days that used to be, Memories of those I love the best. When shadows fall And trees whisper day is ending, My thoughts are...

I remember other days how I used to weep Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep You forgot your promises, every single vow All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me Every road has...

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 But when the weekend's over And Monday rolls around I end up like I start out Just crying...

And when I hear you call So softly to me I don't hear a call at all I hear a rhapsody. And when your sparkling eyes Are smiling at me, Then soft through the starlit sky I hear a rhapsody. My days are so blue When you're away. My heart longs for you So won't...

Pride, sad, splendid liar, Sworn enemy of love Kept my lips from saying Things I was thinking of. But now my pride you've humbled, I've cast it to the winds, Broken, beaten, sick at heart My confession begins. We've played the game of stay away But it cost m...

I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet They're gonna knock me off my feet. A lotta kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I've got 'em I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin'...

If I could be with you one hour tonight And I was free to do the things I might I want you to know I wouldn't go Until I told you, baby, that I love you so. If I could be with you I'd love you long Just to be with you I'd love you all night long. I'm telling...

Imagination, Imagination is funny. It makes a cloudy day sunny. Makes a bee think of honey Just as I think of you. Imagination is crazy. Your whole perspective gets hazy. Starts you asking a daisy What to do, what to do? Have you ever felt a gentle touch And...

We were more than lovers, We were more than sweethearts, It's so hard to understand. Don't know why it happened, Don't know how it started, Why should we be strangers, After all we planned. I can't show my face, Can't go anyplace, People stop an' stare, It's...

Hey, everybody, let's have some fun You only live but once And when you're dead you're done, so Let the good times roll, let the good times roll I don't care if you're young or old Get together, let the good times roll Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash...

Love me or leave me and let me be lonely You won't believe me that I love you only I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else You might find the night time the right time for kissing But night time is my time for just reminiscing Regretting instead of...

Sweetheart I love you Think the world of you But I'm afraid you don't care for me You never show it Don't let me know it Everyone says I'm a fool to be Pining the whole day through Why do you act like you do ? You're mean to me, Why must you be mean to me? G...

I'm gonna tell all you girls a secret, please keep it to yourself I'm gonna tell all you girls a secret, please, please keep it to yourself Why it's a million dollar secret, so please don't tell nobody else Now if you're a real young girl And you want to...

I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade The stars are a glow and tonight how their light sets me dreaming My love, do you know tha...

My old flame I can't even think of his name But it's funny now and then How my thoughts go flashing back again To my old flame My old flame My new lovers, all seem so tame For I haven't met a gent So magnificent or elegant As my old flame I've met so many Wh...

I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved, and I knew I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh) Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide Hey I thought I was...

Walked with no one and talked with no one And I had nothing but shadows Then one morning you passed And I brightened at last Now I greet the day and complete the day With the sun in my heart All my worry blew away When you taught me how to say Grab your coat...

A long time ago, about a million years B.C. The best things in life were absolutely free. But no one appreciated a sky that was always blue And no one anticipated a moon that was always new. So it was planned that they should vanish now and then And you must...

Please, don't talk about me when I'm gone Oh, honey, though our friendship ceases from now on And, listen, if you can't say anything real nice It's better not to talk at all is my advice We're parting--you go your way, I'll go mine It's best that we do Here's...

Alone from night to night you'll find me Too weak to break the chains that bind me I need no shackles to remind me I'm just a prisoner of love For one command I stand and wait now From one who's master of my fate now I can't escape for it's much too late now...

In my solitude you haunt me With reveries of days gone by In my solitude you taunt me With memories that never die While I sit in my chair I'm filled with despair There's no one, no, no one could be so sad With gloom ev’rywhere I sit and I stare I know, I kn...

Somewhere waiting for me There is someone I'm longing to see Someone I simply can't help but adore Someone who'll thrill me forever Some day my prince will come Some day I'll find my love And how thrilling that moment will be When the prince of my dreams comes...

~~~~♫♫♫ ~~~~ I hate to see that evening sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down Cause my baby, has done left this town But if I’m feelin' tomorrow like I feel today if I’m feelin' tomorrow like I feel today I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my geta...

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of...

The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything The mere idea of you, the longing here for you Y...

They raided the joint, took everybody down but me Yes they raided the joint, took everybody down but me I was over in the corner just as high as I could be Now some were playing blackjack, some were playing skin I had plenty money but they wouldn't let me in...

This love of mine goes on and on, Though life is empty since you have gone. You're always on my mind, though out of sight, It's lonesome through the day, But oh! the night. I cry my heart out, it's bound to break, Since nothing matters, let it break. I...

You're just too marvelous, too marvelous for words Like glorious, glamorous and that old standby amorous It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren't swell enough You're much too much and just too ver...

When I grow too old to dream I'll have you to remember When I grow too old to dream Your love will live in my heart So, kiss me my sweet And so let us part And when I grow too old to dream Your kiss will live in my heart When I grow too old to dream I'll hav...

Oh, when the saints go marching in [Repeat x2] I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in Oh, when the sun, refuses to shine [Repeat x2] I still, want to be in that number When the sun refuses to shine Oh, when the saints go marching in [...

Though you say we're through, I'll always love you You know you can depend on me Though someone you've met Has made you forget You know, you can count on me I wish you success, Loads of happiness But I must confess, I'll be lonely, If you need a friend I'...

You played on my piano, And now you wanna beat my drum. You played on my piano, And now you wanna beat my drum. You think I'm gonna let you, But baby I ain't so dumb. Now I let you try my fiddle. Now you don't want to stop. If you don't stop fiddling, Then I'...

You! You're driving me crazy! What did I do? Oh, what did I do? My tears for you Make everything hazy, Clouding the skies of blue. How true were the friends Who were near me to cheer me? Believe me, they knew! But you were the kind who would hurt me Dese...
