Les Paul & Mary Ford

Our little dream castle with every dream gone, Is lonely and silent, the shades are all drawn, And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon A cottage for sale The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay, Our beautiful garden has withered away, Where you planted...

Am I blue? Am I blue? Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you? Am I blue? You'd be too If each plan with your man done fell through. There was a time I was his only one But now I'm the sad and lonely one...lonely Was I gay? til today Now he's gon...

I'm sending you a big bouquet of roses One for every time you broke my heart And as the door of love between us closes Tears will fall like petals when we part I begged you to be different but you'll always be untrue I'm tired of forgiving, now there's n...

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June, We stood beneath an amber moon And softly murmured "someday soon." We kissed and clung together, Then, tomorrow was another day The morning found me miles away With still a million things to say; Now, when twilight...

Place park, scene dark, silvery moon is shining through the trees; Cast two, me, you, sound of kisses floating on the breeze. Act one, begun. Dialogue, "Where would you like to spoon?" My cue, with you, underneath the silvery moon. By the light of the silvery...

Say, have you seen a Carioca? It's not a foxtrot or a polka It has a little bit of new rhythm, a blue rhythm that sighs It has a meter that is tricky A bit of wicked wacky-wicky But when you dance it with a new love, there's a true love in her eye You dream...

Do I love you? Oh my! Do I? Honey, deed I do! Do I need you? Oh my! Do I? Honey, deed I do! I'm glad that I'm the one who found you, That's why I'm always hangin' around you Do I love you? Oh my! Do I? Honey, deed I do! [music] I'm glad that I'm the one w...

Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight Irene Goodnight Irene I'll see you in my dreams Sometimes I live in the country, Sometimes I live in town, Sometimes I take a great notion To jump in the river and drown. Irene goodnight Irene goodnight Goodnight...

I was born on a farm out in Ioway A flaming youth I was bound I would I packed my grip and I grabbed my saxophone Can't read notes, but I play anything by ear I made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear When I'd start to play folks used to say "Sounds 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...

How many arms have held you And hated to let you go How many, how many I wonder But I really don't want to know And how many lips have kissed you And set your soul aglow How many, how many I wonder But I really don't want to know So always make me wonder And...

Each time I hold somebody new My arms grow cold aching for you No one can take your place Darling in my embrace I'll never be free And when my lips burn with desire No other kiss puts out the fire Though I may try and try No one can satisfy this longing in me...

I'm a fool to care When you treat me this way I know I love you But what can I do I'm a fool to care I'm a fool to cry When you tell me goodbye You left me so blue When you were untrue I'm a fool to care I know I should laugh And call it a day But I know I w...

I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air They fly so high They nearly reach the sky And like my dreams They fade and die Fortune's always hiding I've looked everywhere I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air 

I'm sitting on top of the world, Just rolling along Just rolling along. I'm quitting the blues of the world, Just singing a song Just singing a song. Glory, hallelujah, I just phoned the parson, "Hey, Par, get ready to call!" Just like humpty dumpty I'm read...

There's a time each year That we always hold dear, Good old summer time; With the birds and the trees'es And sweet scented breezes, Good old summer time, When you day's work is over Then you are in clover, And life is one beautiful rhyme, No trouble a...

It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, I'm lonely, as I can be. I never knew how much I missed you, But now I can plainly see. It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, How I wish you'd come back to me. I never knew how much I misse...

Down in Louisiana in that sunny clime, They play a class of music that is super fine, And it makes no difference if it's rain or shine, You can hear that jazzin' music playin' all the time. It sounds so peculiar 'cause it's really queer, How its sweet vibrati...

There never was a gal I could love, like I love my Josephine She's a flirt, she's a scamp, she's the vampiest vamp I've ever seen It seems to me she's always flirting with the fellows passing by But when I say she winks, then she tells me she thinks There's a...

It's June in January Because I'm in love It always is spring in my heart With you in my arms. The snow is just white blossoms That fall from above. And here is the reason, my dear, Your magical charms. The night is cold The trees are bare But I can feel the...

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone. Let's pretend that we're together, all alone. I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low, And you can tell your friend there with you she'll have to go. Whisper to me, tell me do you love me true,...

In a certain city, where the girls are cute and pretty They have a raggy, jazzy, jazz-time tune When you hear that syncopated jazz created melody You could dance all morning night and noon When the slide trombone And moaning saxophone begin to play It will mak...

Now the hacienda's dark The town is sleeping Now the time has come to part The time for weeping Vaya con dios, my darling Vaya con dios, my love Now the village mission bells are softly ringing If you listen with your heart You'll hear them singing...

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 threw it away That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above What is this thing c...
