Yesterdays
Music by Jerome KemLyric by Otto Ilarbach
Yesterdays. yesterdays.Days I knew as happy. sweet sequestered days,Olden days. golden days.Days ofmad romance and love.The gay youth was mine.Truth was mine.Jolous. free and flaming l ife. forsoorh. uas mine.Sad am I. glad am l.For loday I 'm dreaming ofyesterdays.
Laura
Music by David RaksinLyric by Johnny Mercer
Laura is th€ f'ace in the misty lightIbotsteps that you hear down the halll hc laugh that floats on a summer night'I hat you can never quite recall.n nd you see l,auraOn the lrain that is passing thru'l-hose eyes how familiar they seemShe gave your very first kiss to youl'hat \,asI-aura but she's only a dream
Sophisticated Lady
Music by Duke EllingtonLyric by Michell Parish, Irving Mills
They say - into your early life romance cameAnd in this hean ofyours bumed a flamc,A flame that flickered one day and died away.Then with disillusion deep in your eyesYou learned rhat fools in love soon grou r.rise.The years have changed you somehow, I see it nowSmoking, drinking, never thinkingOftomorrow - so nonchalant.Diamonds shining, dancing, diningWith sone man in a restaurant -Is that all you really want to know?Sophisticated lady, I know.\bu missed that love you Iost long agoAnd when nobody is nigh you cry.Sophisticated lady, you cry...
Here's That Rainv Dav )9
Music and Lyric byJohny Burke and James Van Heusen
Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams;Funny, but here's that rainy day.Here's that rainy day they told me about,And I laughed at the thought that is might tum out
this way.Where is that wom out wish that I threw aside,After it b.ought my lover near?lunny how love becomes a cold rainy day.
The Nearness ofYou
Music by Hoagy CarmichaelLyric by Ned Washington
It's not the pale moon that excites meThat thrills and delights me -Oh, no, it'sjust the nearness ofyou.It isn't your sweet conversationThat brings this sensation -Oh, no, it'sjust the neamess ofyou.When you're in my armsAnd I feel you so close to me,All my wildest dreams come true,I need no sofl lights to enchant me,Ifyou're only grant me the rightTo hold you ever so tightAnd to feel in the night the neamess ofyou.
Over The Rainbow
Music by Harold ArlenLyric by Edgar Harburg
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high,There's a land that I heard ofonce in a lullaby,Somewh€le over the rainbow skies are blue,And the dreams that you are to dream really come true.Someday I'll wish upon a starAnd wake up where the clouds are far behind me,Where troubles melt like lemon drops,Away, above the chimney tops that's where you'll
find me.Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly,Birds fly, over the rainbow why then, oh, why can't I?
i0 Like Someone In Love
Music and Lyric byJames Van Heusen and Johnny Burke
l,ately I find myselfout gazing at stars,Hearing guitars like someone in love.Sometimes the things I do astound mt:,Mostly whenever you're around me.Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,Bump into things like someone in love.Iiach time I look at you I'm limp as a gloveAnd l-eelin' like someone on love.
My Funny Valentine
Mr.rsic by Richard RodgersLyric by Lorenz Hart
My funny Valcrrtine,Swcct comic Valentine.You makc mc srnile with my hcart.Yorr looks arc Iaughablc.I lnphotographable.Ycl you rc my favourite work ofart.Is your l igurc lcss lhan Greek;Is your moulh a l i t t le wcak,Whcn you open it to spcak.n rc you smart'1I lul don't change a hair lbr me,Nol if you care 1_or me.Stay l i t t le Vallentinc. stayll lach day is Valcntinc's day.
What's New?
Music by Bob llaggartI_yric by Johnny Burke
What's new? How is the world treating you?You havcn't changed a bit;Lovely as ever, I must admit.What's new? How did that romance come through?Wc haven't lnel since then,Gee. but it's nice to see you again.What's new? Probably I'm boring you.But seeing you is grand,And you were sweet to offer your hand.Iunderstand.Adieu. pardon my asking what's neqOfcourse you couldn't knowI haven't changed, I still love you so.
Misty
Music by Erroll GarnerLyric by Johnny Burke
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree,And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud,I can't understand, I get misty just holding your hand.Walk my way and a thousand violins begin to playOr it might be the sound ofyour hello,That music I hear, I get misty the momenr you re near.You can say that you're lcading me on,But it'sjust what I want you to do.Don't you notice how hopclessly I 'm losr,That's why I 'm following you.On my own. as I wandcr through this wonderland
Never knowing my right foor liom my lelt. alonc
My hat from my glove,I get misty and too much in love.
Body And Soul
Music by Johrrny (irccnI_yric by l ldward l lcyrlan
My hean is sad and lonclylior you I sigh. lbr you dear only.Why havcn't you seen it?I'm all lbr you body and soul!I spend my days in longingAnd wondering why it's you're wronging.I tell you I mean it.I 'm all for you body and soul!I can't believe itIt's hard to conceivc itThey you'd tum away romance.Are you prctending. it looks like the endingUnless I could have one more chance to prole, dcar,My lifc's a wreck you're making,You know I'm yours forjust to taking,I'd gladly surrender nryselflbr you, body and soull
Mv One and Onlv Love
Music by Guy WoodLy c by Robed Mellin
lhc veD lho'rghl ofyou makes my heart singLike an April breeze on the wings ofsp ng.And you appear in all you splendor,My onc and only love.The shadows fall and spread their mystic charmsln the hush ofnight while you're in my arms.I feel you lips so warm and tender,My one and only love.The touch ofyour hand is like heaven,A heaven that I've never known.The blush on your cheek whenever I speakTells me that you arc my own.You'll fill my eager heart with such desire.Ev'ry kiss you give sets my soul on fire.I give myselfin sweet sunender,My one and lonely love.
My Foolish Heart
Music by Victor YoungLyric by Ned Washington
The night is like a lovely tune,Beware my foolish hean!How white the ever constant moon,Take care my foolish heart!There's a line between love and fascinationThat's hard to see on an evening such as this,For they both give the very same sensationWhen you're lost in the magic ofa kiss.Her {His) l ips are much too close to mine.Beware my foolish heart,But should our eager lips combineThen let the fire start.For this time it isn't fascinationOr a dream that will fade and fall apart,It's love this time. it's love,My foolish heart.
Lover Man(Oh, where can you be)
Davis-Ramirez-Sherman
I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad,I long to try something I've never had,Never had no kissin', oh, what l've been missin',Lover man, oh, where can you be?The night is cold, and I'm so all alone,I 'd give my souljust to call you my own,Got a moon above me, but no one to love me,Lover man, oh, where can you be?I've heard it said that the thrill of romanceCan be like a heavenly dream,I go to bed with a pray'r that you'll make love to me.Strang€ as it seems.Some day we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears,Then whisper sweet little things in my ears,Huggin' and a kissin', oh, what we've been missin',Lover man, oh, where can you be.
Round Midnieht
Music by Thelonious Monk & Cootie WilliamsLyric by Bemard Hanighen
It begins to t€ll round midnight, midnight,I do pr€tty w.ell till after sun-down.Suppertime I'rn feeling sad,But it really gets bad round midnight.Memories always start round midnight, midnight,Haven't got the hean to srand rhose memories.When my heart is still with youAnd old midnight knows it too.When some quarrel we had needs mending,Does it mean that our love is ending?Darling, I need you, lately I find -You're out ofmy arms and out ofmy mind.Let our lov€ take wing round midnight, midnight,Let the angels sing for your retuming.Let our love be safe and soundAnd no midnight comes around.
