"In The Wee Small Hours"

"In The Wee Small Hours"



When the sun is high
In the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk til dawn
As the clock ticks on
Something happens to you

In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never even think of counting sheep

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all

"Indian Summer"

"Indian Summer"



Summer, you old Indian Summer
You're the tear that comes after June-time's laughter
You see so many dreams that don't come true
Dreams we fashioned when Summertime was new

You are here to watch over
Some heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I say
"Farewell to you, Indian Summer"

You are here to watch over
A heart that is broken by a word that somebody left unspoken
You're the ghost of a romance in June going astray
Fading too soon, that's why I say
"Farewell to you, Indian Summer"

You old Indian Summer

"Irena"

"Irena"



Irena, Irena
A lover waits for you
The right one, a knight one
No other love will do
Everything you ever dreamed a man could bring
He’ll offer for the taking
So take him
He needs you
You need him
Irena
Oh, no lover waits too long
Believe him
Receive him
You know where you belong
Live today
Its time you gave your love away
Don’t wait until tomorrow
In sorrow
You may find
Your lover gone
Irena, Irena, darling

"Isn't It Romantic?"

"Isn't It Romantic?"



Isn't it romantic
Music in the night
A dream that can be heard

Isn't it romantic
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
I hear the breezes playing in the trees up above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love

Isn't it romantic
merely to be young on such a night as this
Isn't it romantic
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss

Sweet symbols in the moonlight
do you think that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?

Isn't it romantic
On a moonlight night
She’ll cook me onion soup

Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight we soon will have a troupe
We'll help the population,
it's a duty that we owe to dear old France
Isn’t it romance?

"It Amazes Me"

"It Amazes Me"



My height, just average
My weight, just average
My IQ is like you'd estimate, just average
But evidently she does not agree.
Consequently if I seem at sea...

It amazes me
It simply amazes me
What she sees in me dazzles me,
Dazes me
That I've learned to clip my wings
And soften my ways.
These are ordinary things unworthy of praise
Yet she praises my just knowing I try for
When so many would, if they could, die for her.
I'm the one who's worthy, wise
And nothing much fazes me
But to see me in her eyes.....

It just amazes me.

"It Could Happen To You"

"It Could Happen To You"



Hide your heart from sight, lock your dreams at night
It could happen to you
Don't count stars or you might stumble
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble

Keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me

You better keep an eye on spring,
and grab your hat when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be

And it happened to me

"It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)"
(with Lady Gaga)


It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
It makes no diff'rence if it's sweet or it's hot
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got
Oh, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)

It makes no diff'rence if it's sweet or it's hot
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got
Oh, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)
(Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)

Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah)

"It Had To Be You"
(feat. Carrie Underwood)

"It Had To Be You"
(feat. Carrie Underwood)



It seems like dreams like I've always had
Could be, should be, makin' me glad
Why am I blue?
Its up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe baby I'll go away
Someday, some way, maybe you'll come and say,
"Its you that I need"
And you'll be pleading in vain

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you

Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Some others I've seen (Some others I've seen)
Might never be mean (Might never be mean)
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

"It Only Happens When I Dance With You"

"It Only Happens When I Dance With You"



It only happens when I dance with you
That trip to Heaven till the dance is through

With no one else do the Heavens seem quite so near
Why does it happen, dear only with you?

Two cheeks together can be so divine
But only when those cheeks are yours and mine

I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through
But the thrill that comes with Spring
When anything could happen
That only happens with you
