I was a stranger in the city Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self-pity What to do? What to do? What to do? The outlook was decidedly blue But as I walked through the foggy streets alone It turned out to be the luckiest day I've k...

I'm as corny as Kansas in August, I'm as normal as blueberry pie. No more a smart little girl with no heart, I have found me a wonderful guy! I am in a conventional dither, With a conventional star in my eye. And you will note there's a lump in my throat When...

The day is my enemy, the night my friend, For I'm always so alone till the day draws to an end, But when the sun goes down and the moon comes through, To the monotone of the evening's drone I'm all alone with you. All through the night, I delight in your love...

What a day this has been! What a rare mood I'm in! Why, it's almost like being in love There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why it's almost like being in love All the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me And from the wa...

An ordinary couple Is all we'll ever be, For all I want of living Is to keep you close to me, To laugh and weep together While time goes on its flight, To kiss you ev'ry morning An to kiss you ev'ry night. We'll meet our daily problems And rest when...

In olden days a glimpse of stocking Was looked on as something shocking But now God knows Anything goes Good authors to Who once knew better words Now only use four letter words Writing prose Anything goes If driving fast cars you like If low bars you like I...

Blue horizon Waits a beautiful day Goodbye to things that bore me Joy is waiting for me I see a new horizon My life has only begun Beyond the blue da-dum, dee-dum Beyond the blue horizon Waits a beautiful day Goodbye to things that bore me Joy is waiting for...

But I'm bidin' my time, Cause that's the kinda guy I'm While other folks grow dizzy I keep busy Bidin' my time. Next year, next year, Somethin's bound to happen, This year, this year, I'll just keep on nappin' And bidin' my time Cause that's the kinda guy I'...

Do you hear that playing? Yes we hear the playing, Do you know who's plying? No, who is that playing? Why it's Gabriel, Gabriel playing, Gabriel Gabriel saying, "Will you be ready to go when I blow my horn?" Oh Blow, Gabriel, Blow, Go on and Blow Gabri...

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 are gray Than any rainy day, could guarantee I was a fool to fall, and get that way I should have known the price, I'd have to pay...

In some secluded rendezvous That overlooks the avenue With someone sharing a delightful chat Of this and that And cocktails for two As we enjoy a cigarette To some exquisite chansonnette Two hands are sure to slyly meet beneath A serviette With cocktails for...

Dancing in the dark till 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 ca...

Edelweiss, Edelweiss Every morning you greet me Small and white clean and bright You look happy to meet me Blossom of snow, may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever Edelweiss, Edelweiss Bless my homeland forever 

Dozens a man 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. Won’t you listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat, And you'll...

I know why I waited Know why I've been blue I've been waiting each day For someone exactly like you Why should I spend some money On a show or two When nobody sings these love songs Exactly like you You make me feel so grand I wanna give this world...

From this moment on, You for me dear, Only two for tea dear, From this moment on, From this happy day, No more blue songs, Only hoop-de-doo songs, From this moment on You've got the love I need so much Got the skin I love to touch Got the arms to hold me tig...

If they ask me, I could write a book About the way you walk and whisper and look I could write a preface on how we met So the world would never forget And the simple secret of the plot Is just to tell them that I love you, a lot Then the world discovers as my...

Taking stock of what I have and what I haven't What do I find? The things I got will keep me satisfied Checking up on what I have and what I haven't What do I find? A healthy balance on the credit side Got no diamonds, got no pearls Still I think I'm a lucky...

Are you ready for today's lesson? Yes, Peter! Listen to your teacher. Repeat after me: I won't grow up, (I won't grow up) I don't want to go to school. (I don't want to go to school) Just to learn to be a parrot, (Just to learn to be a parrot) And recite...

I'll walk alone But to tell you the truth, I'll be lonely I don't mind being lonely When my heart tells me you are lonely, too I'll walk alone They'll ask me why and I'll tell them I'd rather There are dreams I must gather Dreams we fashioned the night you he...

WENDY: You're conceited! PETER PAN: Conceited? Not me, It's just that I am what I am And I'm me! When I look at myself And I see in myself All the wonderful things that I see If I'm pleased with myself I have ev'ry good reason to be. I've gotta crow! I'm jus...

I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string I'd say that I had spring fever But I know it isn't spring I am starry-eyed and vaguely discontented Like a nightingale without a song to sing Oh, why should I have spring fever W...

We're such a happy pair, That it isn't right, no, it isn't fair To all those other boys I gave the air So, Daddy, let me stay out late For tomorrow is our wedding date Let the baby kinda celebrate Kiss the boys goodbye Daddy, let me wear the mink What's the...

'Let's get lost, lost in each other's arms Let's get lost, let them send out alarms And though they'll think us rather rude Let's tell the world we're in that crazy mood. Let's defrost in a romantic mist Let's get crossed off everybody's list To celebrate this...

Love walked right in and drove the shadows away Love walked right in and brought my sunniest day One magic moment and my heart seemed to know that love said hello Though not a word was spoken One look, and I forgot the gloom of the past One look and I had fou...

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel wi...

Peter where do you live It's a secret place. Please, tell me! Would you believe me if I told you? I promise. For sure. For sure! I have a place where dreams are born, And time is never planned. It's not on any chart, You must find it with your heart. Ne...

Do I want to be with you As the years come and go? Only forever If you care to know. Would I grant all your wishes And be proud of the task Only forever If someone should ask. How long would it take me To be near if you beckon? Off hand I would figur...

I've wined and dined on mulligan stew And never wished for turkey As I hitched and hiked and grifted too From Maine to Albuquerque Alas, I missed the Beaux-Arts Ball and, what is twice as sad, I was never at a party Where they honored Noel Caaahd But social ci...

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 It's just the nearness of you When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to m...

I hear music when I look at you, A beautiful theme of every Dream I ever knew. Down deep in my heart I hear it play. I feel it start, then melt away. I hear music when I touch your hand, A beautiful melody From some enchanted land. Down deep in my heart, I he...

My day in the hills has come to an end, I know A star has come out, to tell me it's time to go But deep in the dark green shadows Are voices that urge me to stay So I pause and I wait and I listen For one more sound, or one more lovely thing That the hills mig...

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...

We're all alone and we're sad Like two little babes in the wood But things would not seem so bad If we weren't quite so good If we cuddled up as we should You're lonely and I'm lonely So why can't we be lonely together? The night is young and while it grows...

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 h...
