If I see you tomorrow on some street in town Pardon me if I don't say hello (say hello) I belong to another, it wouldn't look so good To know someone I'm not supposed to know. Just walk on by, wait on the corner I love you, but we're strangers when we meet Ju...

Warm hands, cold heart How well I've learned to know its meaning When I'm with you Warm lips, lips that invited me, they so excited me I fell in spite of me, what could I do? Warm eyes, soft sighs, how well I know the spell And yet like a fool I stay Warm hand...

When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy, Then the rain begins to fall, Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, love is gone, so what can matter? No sweet lover man comes to call. When Sunny gets blue, she breathes a sigh of sadness, Like the wind that stirs...

It isn't by chance I happen to be, A boulevardier, the toast of Paris. For over the noise, the talk and the smoke, I'm good for a laugh, a drink or a joke I walk in a room, a party or ball, "Come sit over here" somebody will call. "A drink for M'sieur, a drink...

You leave me breathless, you heavenly thing! You look so wonderful, you're like a breath of Spring! You leave me speechless, I'm just like the birds; I'm filled with melody, but at at a loss for words! That little grin of yours, That funny chin of yours, Does...
