Jane Monheit

Just before our love got lost you said "I am as constant as a northern star" And I said, "Constant in the darkness Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar" On the back of a cartoon coaster In the blue TV screen light I drew a map of Canada...

When there's a shine on your shoes, There's a melody in your heart, With a singable, happy feeling, A wonderful way to start To face the world every day With a deedle-um-dee-dulay Little melody that is making The worrying world go by. When you walk down the s...

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...

You must remember this, A kiss is still a kiss, A sigh is just a sigh, The fundamental things apply, As time goes by. And when two lovers woo, They still say "I love you," On that you can rely, No matter what the future brings, As time goes by. Moo...

Bésame, bésame mucho Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine Bésame mucho Hold me, my darling, and say that you'll always be mine This joy is something new, my arms enfolding you never knew this thrill before Who ever thought I'd be holding...

I used to dream that I'd discover The perfect lover someday I knew I'd recognize him If ever he came 'round my way I always used to fancy then He'd be one of those god-like kind of men With a giant brain and a noble head Like the heroes bold in the book...

If I expected love When first we kissed, Blame it on my youth. If only just for you I did exist, Blame it on my youth. I believed in everything, Like a child of three, You meant more than anything All the world to me. If you were on my mind All night and da...

Some folks were meant to live in clover, But they are such a chosen few. And clover being green is something I've never seen 'Cause I was born to be blue. When there's a yellow moon above me, They say there's moonbeams I should view But moonbeams being...

Heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When We're out together dancing Cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven And the cares that hang around me Through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's...

No more blues I'm going back home No, no more blues I promise no more to roam Home is where the heart is The funny part is, my heart's been Right here all alone No more tears, and no more sighs No, no more fears- I'll say no more goodbye If travel beckons m...

(Verse) What’s the one thing I haven’t told a soul ever When’s the last time I lost myself control ,never Sitting next to you in this almost empty room With the end of the evening so near Might just be the only time I can look into your eyes And whisper.. whi...

Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here Time hurries by, we're here and gone Looking for the light of a new love To brighten up the night, I have you love And we can face...

Smooth road, clear day Why am I the only onetraveling this way How strange the road to love should be so easy Can there be a detour ahead Wake up, slow down Before you crash and break your heart gullable clown You fool you're heading in the wrong direct...

Sky, so vast is the sky With far away clouds just wandering by.. Where do they go? Oh I don't know, don't know... Wind that speaks to the leaves Telling stories that no one believes Stories of love Belong to you and me.... Oh Dindi.... If I only had words I...

Do I love you, do I? Doesn't one and one make two? Do I love you, do I? Does July need a sky of blue? Would I miss you, would I If you ever should go away? If she sun should desert the day, What would life be? Will I leave you never? Could the ocean...

Dozens of boys would storm up I had to lock my door, Somehow I couldn't warm up To one before. What was it that controlled me? What kept my love-life lean? My intuition told me You'd come on the scene. Darling, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat, And you'll...

Every time we say goodbye, I die a little, Every time 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 la...

I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks I have words that do not come from children's books There's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do But everything I've got belongs to you I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist And the perfect wrist to give your...

La la la... Once there was a way to get back homeward Once there was a way to get back home Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry And I will sing a lullaby Golden slumbers fill your eyes Smiles awake you when you rise Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry And I will...

In the night, though we're apart There's a ghost of you within my haunted heart. Ghost of you, my lost romance, Lips that laugh, eyes that dance. Haunted heart won't let me be, Dreams repeat a sweet but lonely song to me. Dreams are dust, it's you who must...

I'm thru with love, I'll never fall again. Said 'adieu' to love, Don't ever call again. For I must have you Or no one. And so I'm thru with love. I've locked my heart. I keep my feelings there. I have stocked my heart With icy frigidaire. And I mean to care...

If a picture paints a thousand words, Then why can't I paint you? The words will never show the you i've come to know If a face could launce a thousand ships Then where am I to go? There's no one home but you, you're all that's left me too And when my love for...
