"Sometimes I'm Happy"

"Sometimes I'm Happy"



Sometimes I'm happy sometimes I'm blue
My disposition depends on you
I never mind the rain from the skies
If I can find the sun in your eyes

Sometimes I love you sometimes I hate you
But when I hate you it's cause I love you
That's how I am so what can I do?
I'm happy when I'm with you

That's how I am so what can I do?
I'm happy when I'm...
I'm happy when I'm with you

"Somewhere Along The Line"

"Somewhere Along The Line"



Somewhere along the line
You met this heart of mine
You wooed it and won it
Now you would shun it
Over a glass of wine

Friends knew it all the time
That no wedding bells would chime
I was just a young dreamer, no match for a schemer
Yours was a lover's crime

Folks gossiped, they said it was too good to be true
They even bet you'd search for someone new
This pendent world of ours was paradise
And I was blind with star dust in my eyes

You’re like gambler with his last dime
I know you will try it one more time
That’s why I pray like Napoleon Bonaparte
You'll meet your Waterloo somewhere along

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"



When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane

When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane

To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain

Somewhere, over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullabye

Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
far behind me
Where laughter falls like lemon drops away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?

"Sophisticated Lady"

"Sophisticated Lady"



They say into
Your early life
Romance came
And in this heart
Of yours
Burned a flame
A flame
That flickered
One day
And died away

Then
With disillusion
Deep in your eyes
You learned
That fools in love
Soon grow wise
The years
Have changed you
Somehow
I see you now

Smoking, drinking
Never thinking
Of tomorrow
Nonchalant
Diamonds shining
Dancing, dining
With some man
In a restaurant
Is that all
You really want?

No
Sophisticated lady
I know
You miss the love
You lost long ago
And when nobody
Is nigh you cry

Is that all
You really want?

No
Sophisticated lady
I know
You miss the heart
You lost long ago
And when nobody
Is nigh you cry

"Speak Low"
(feat. Norah Jones)

"Speak Low"
(feat. Norah Jones)



Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

Speak low when you speak love
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart too soon

Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near,
Tomorrow is here and always too soon

Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, oh darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon

Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief

We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon
And soon
Speak love
Speak love
Speak love

"Spring Is Here"

"Spring Is Here"



Once there was a thing called spring
when the world was writing verses
like yours and mine.

All the lads and girls would sing
when we set a little tables
and drank May wine.

Now April May and June
are sadly out of tune
life has stuck the pin in the balloon.

Yes, spring is here!
Why doesn’t my heart go dancing?
Spring is here!
Why isn’t the waltz entrancing?
No desire, no ambition leads me,
Maybe it’s because nobody needs me.

Spring is here!
Why doesn’t the breeze delight me?
Stars appear,
Why doesn’t the night invite me?
Maybe it’s because nobody loves me.
Spring is here I hear

"Stella By Starlight"

"Stella By Starlight"



The song a robin sings
Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide

Great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and I agree
She's everything on earth to me

My heart and I agree
She's everything on earth to me
She's everything on earth to me

"Steppin' Out With My Baby"

"Steppin' Out With My Baby"



Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
It's for sure, not for maybe
That I'm all dressed up tonight

Steppin' out with my honey
Can't be bad to feel so good
Never felt quite so sunny
And I keep on knockin' wood

There'll be smooth sailin' 'cause I'm trimmin' my sails
In my top hat and my white tie and my tails

Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
Ask me when will the day be
The big day may be tonight

If I seem to scintillate
It's because I've got a date
A date with a package of
The good things that come with love
You don't have to ask me
I won't waste your time
But if you should ask me
Why I feel sublime

Dance

There'll be smooth sailin' 'cause I'm trimmin' my sails
In my top hat and my white tie and my tails

Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
Ask me when will the day be
The big day may be tonight
