"My Love Went To London"

"My Love Went To London"



Thank the Lord I am here at last
Now I found London Town
Never thought I'd live to see
The city on the Thames

Where's that sky of grey
Where's that foggy day
The gust winds had their say
But now I'm here to tell you

My love went to London
And left me behind
I'm going to London
And I'll find her

Piccadilly Circus
Come meet her
Or I'll rush right up to her
And lovingly I'll greet her

My love went to London
I'm missing her so
I'm going to London
Where my love is

Tomorrow I'll roam around
Old fabulous London Town
I'll search every face I see around me
Until I hold London in my arms

Tomorrow I'll roam around
Old fabulous London Town
I'll search every face I see around me
Until I hold London in my arms

"My Mom"

"My Mom"



I've got one real friend more than a friend I find
The way I feel friend, she's all of this heart of mine
I'm all for her I know she'll always be for me
I'm on my way friend, I'm going home to see

My mom, I love her
My mom, you'd love her
Who wouldn't love her, my mom
That sweet somebody, thinks I'm somebody
My pal, my buddy, my mom

Anything I do she's my only inspiration
Anytime I'm blue she's my only consolation

As years come on her
I gaze upon her
She's my Madonna
My mom
My pal, my buddy, my mom

Yes, anything I do she's my only inspiration
Anytime I'm blue she's my only consolation

As years come on her
I gaze upon her
She's my Madonna
My mom

"My Old Flame"

"My Old Flame"



The music seemed to be so reminiscent
I knew I heard it somewhere before
I wracked my recollections as I listened
When suddenly I remembered once more

My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame

My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
For I haven't met a gal
So magnificent, my only pal
As my old flame

I've met so many who
have fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Some who took me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of her name
But I’ll never be the same
Until I discover what became
Of my old flame

"My Romance"

"My Romance"



My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky,
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by.
No month of May, no twinkling stars,
No hide away, no soft guitars.

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain.
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true,
My romance doesn't need a thing but you.

"Nancy (With The Laughing Face)"

"Nancy (With The Laughing Face)"



If I don't see her each day, I miss her
Gee, what a thrill each time I kiss her
Believe me, I've got a case
On Nancy, with the laughin' face

She takes the winter and she makes it summer
And summer could take a few lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That's Nancy with the laughin' face

Did you ever hear mission bells ringing?
Well, she'll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say "hello"

I swear to goodness, you can't resist her
Sorry for you, she has no sister
No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughin' face

"Nature Boy"
(with Lady Gaga)
(originally by Nat King Cole)



There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far

Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me

The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

"Never Too Late"

"Never Too Late"



Its never too late
For rainbows to shine
For whispering violins
And bubbles in the wine

Its never too late
To ring like a bell
To steal away somewhere
And catch a carousel

The summer is green
The autumn is gold
So no matter when love comes
Its heavenly to hold

Let your heart stay young and strong
Just one note can start a song
So don’t worry ‘bout how long
You’ve had to wait

Its never too late
Its never too late

The summer is green
The autumn is gold
So no matter when love comes
Its heavenly to hold

Let your heart stay young and strong
Just one note can start a song
So don’t worry ‘bout how long
You’ve had to wait

Its never too late
Its never too late

"Nice Work If You Can Get It"

"Nice Work If You Can Get It"



Holdin' hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Strollin' with the one girl
Sighin' sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then takin' that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it won't you tell me how?

Holdin' hands at midnight
'neath a starry sky

And strollin' with the one girl
Sighing sigh after sigh

Just imagine someone
Waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for anything more?

Loving one who loves you
And then takin' that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And if you get it won't you tell me how?

"Night And Day"

"Night And Day"



Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

"Nobody Else But Me"

"Nobody Else But Me"



I want to be no-one but me
I am in love with a lady who likes me the way I am
I have my faults, she likes my faults
I'm not very bright, she's not very bright

She thinks I'm grand, that's grand for me
She may be wrong, but if we get along
What do we care? say we

Walking on the shore, swimming in the sea
When I am with her, I'm glad the boy who's with her
Is nobody else but me
