"Days Of Wine And Roses"

"Days Of Wine And Roses"


The days of wine and roses laugh and run away
Like a child at play
Through a meadowland toward a closing door
A door marked nevermore that wasn't there before

The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze
Filled with memories
Of the golden smile that introduced me to
The days of wine and roses and you

"Dear Heart"

"Dear Heart"


Dear heart...
Wish you were here to warm this night
My dear heart...
Seems like a year
Since you've been out of my sight.

A single room...
A table for one
It's a lonesome town all right.

But soon I'll kiss you hello
At our front door
And dear heart...
I want you to know
I'll leave your arms, nevermore.

A single room...
A table for one
It's a lonesome town all right.

But soon I'll kiss you hello
At our front door
And dear heart...
I want you to know
I'll leave your arms, nevermore.

"Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me"

"Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me"


Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why have people tear the seam of anyone's dreams?
Is way over my head

Do nothin' till you hear from me
Atleast consider our romance
If you should take the word of [?] you've heard
I haven't a chance

True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss me, cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
Please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you know you never will

True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you

Some kiss me, cloud my memory
And other arms may give me a thrill
Don't do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will

"Don't Call My Name"

"Don't Call My Name"


The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away

It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up
The piper must be paid

The party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right

Just being with him
Now you must wake up
All dreams must end
Take off your makeup

The party's over
It's all over, my friend
Now you must wake up
All dreams must end

Take off your makeup
The party's over
It's all over, my friend

"Don't Dream Of Anybody But Me"

"Don't Dream Of Anybody But Me"


Though you vacation in Hawaii
Or go to Switzerland to ski
When you're scanning the snow covered mountain
Or fanning yourself by the sea
Don't dream of anybody but me

Though you may fly the Scottish Highlands
Or take a trip to some isle near Napoli
When you're whistling "The Campbells Are Coming"
Or humming "The Isle Of Capri"
Don't dream of anybody but me

In a cafe on the Rhine
Any place along the line
I'll forgive you when a stranger puts your little heart in danger
If his face resembles mine

When a guy at a mike in a nightclub
Begins bellowing something off-key
Won't even mind if suddenly he reminds you of me

No matter where you care to roam
Doesn't even matter whom you choose to see
Whenever your head hits that pillow
Whatever the hour may be
Don't dream of anybody but me
Don't dream of anybody but me
Don't dream of anybody but me

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore"

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore"


Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Though I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless why stir up memories?

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for?
Awf'lly diff'rent without you
Don't get around much anymore

"Don't Rain On My Parade"

"Don't Rain On My Parade"


Hey world, here I am...

Don't tell me not to fly I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me and not you
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to live just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade

I'm gonna march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat sir
Hey! At least I didn't fake it
Hat sir? So what I didn't make it

But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
Or freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The cinder or the shin the apple of its eye

I gotta fly once, I gotta try once
Only can die once, right sir?
Ohh...Love is juicy, juicy and you see
I've got to have my bite sir.

So get ready for me love cause I'm a comer
I've simply got to march my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade

I gotta fly once, I gotta try once
Only can die once, right sir?
Ohh...Love is juicy, juicy and you see
I've got to have my bite sir.

Get ready for me love cause I'm a comin
I've simply got to march my heart's a drummin
Nobody.
I said nobody.
Nobody - had better rain-on-my-parade...

"Down With Love"

"Down With Love"


Down with love the flowers and rice and shoes
Down with love the root of all midnight blues
Down with things that give you that well-known ping
Take that moon wrap it in cellophane

Down with love let's liquidate all its friends
Moon and June and roses and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love yes take it away, away

Away
Far away
Give it back to the birds and bees and the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down with love

Down with love let's liquidate all its friends
The moons the Junes the roses and rainbow's ends
Down with songs that moan about night and day
Down with love yes take it away, away

Far away
So very, very far away
Give it back to the birds and the bees and especially the Viennese

Down with eyes romantic and stupid
Down with sighs and down with cupid
Brother let's stuff that dove
Down with love

"Dream Lover"

"Dream Lover"


Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
To feel you near as I grow old
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah, yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah, yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah)
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah)
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah)
My own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone
No, I don't wanna dream

"Drown In My Own Tears"
(originally by Ray Charles)

"Drown In My Own Tears"
(originally by Ray Charles)



It brings a tear into my eyes
When I begin to realize
I've cried so much since you've been gone
I guess I'll drown in my own tears

I'm gonna sit and cry just like a child
My pourin' tears, they're runnin' wild
If you don't think you'll be home soon
I'm gonna drown in my own tears

I know it's true
Into each life some rain must pour
But I'm so blue every night without you
It keeps on rainin' more and more

Why can't you come on home?
So that I won't have to be all alone
If you don't think that you'll be home soon

I guess I'll
(Drown in my own tears)
Oh, don't let me now
(Drown in my own tears)

When I'm in trouble
(Drown in my own tears)
Looks like I'll drown in my own tears
