It Might As Well Be Spring (Oscar Hammerstein II)
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm
I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring fever
But I know it isn't spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontented
Like a nightingale without a song to sing
Oh why should I have spring fever
When it isn't even spring
I keep wishing I were someone else
Walking down a strange new street
And hearing words that I've never head
From a girl I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as spider spinning daydreams
Spinning spinning daydreams
I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing
I haven't seen a crocus or a rosebud
Or a robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
That it might as well be spring.
It might as well be spring

All The Way (Sammy Cahn/Jimmy van Heusen)
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

Dream When You're Feeling Blue (Johnny Mercer)
Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream

My Funny Valentine (Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers)
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day
Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

September Song (Maxwell Anderson/Kurt Weill)
Oh, it's a long, long time from May to December
But the days grow short when you reach September
When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you

As Time Goes By (Herman Hupfeld)
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say: "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Body And Soul (Robert Sour/Edward Heyman/Frank Eyton)
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh, for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul
I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul
I can't believe it
It's hard to conceive it
That you’d turn away romance
Are you pretending
It looks like the ending
Unless I could have just one more chance to prove, dear
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for the very taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul

Moonlight In Vermont (John Blackburn/Karl Suessdorf)
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves of sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Icy finger waves
Ski trails on a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely
Evening summer breeze
Warbling of a meadow lark
Moonlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
And they travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely
Evening summer breeze
The warbling of a meadow lark
Moonlight in Vermont
Moonlight in Vermont
Moonlight in Vermont
Moonlight in Vermont

Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered (Lorenz Hart/Richard Rodgers)
She's a fool and don't I know it?
But a fool can have her charms
I'm in love and don't I show it?
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately, I've not slept a wink
Since this silly situation
Has me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
Then love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I
Lost my heart but what of it?
She is cold, I agree
She can laugh but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to her, each Spring to her
And long for the day when I cling to her
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I

Someone To Watch Over Me (George Gershwin)
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although I may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To her heart I'll carry the key
Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Misty (Johnny Burke)
Look at me
I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud
I can' t understand
I get misty
Just holding your hand
Walk my way
And a thousand violins begin to play
Or it might be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty
The moment you're near
Can't you see that you're leading me on?
And it's just what I want you to do
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you
On my own
When I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty
And too much in love
Too misty
And too much
In love

Lullaby Of Birdland (George D. Weiss)
Lullaby of birdland
That's what I
Always hear, when you sigh
Never in my wordland
could there ways to reveal
in a phrase, how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtledoves
Bill and coo
when they love
that's the kind of magic music
we make with our lips
when we kiss
And there's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me
farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland
whisper low
kiss me sweet, and we'll go
flying high in birdland
high in the sky up above
all because we're in love

I'm In The Mood For Love (Dorothy Fields)
I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for love

Again (Dorcas Cochran/Lionel Newman)
Again, this couldn't happen again
This is that once in a lifetime
This is the thrill divine
What's more, this never happened before
Though I have prayed for a lifetime
That such as you would suddenly be mine
Mine to hold as I'm holding you now and yet never so near
Mine to have when the now and the here disappear
What matters, dear, for
When this doesn't happen again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again
We'll have this moment forever
But never, never again

Dream A Little Dream Of Me (Gus Kahn/Wilber Schwandt & Fabian Andre)
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me
Say "Night-ie night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

On Moonlight Bay (Edward Madden/Percy Weinrich)
We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices ringing
They seemed to say
"You have stolen her heart"
"Now don't go 'way"
As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay
We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices ringing
They seemed to say
"You have stolen her heart"
"Now don't go 'way"
As we sang love's old sweet song on Moonlight Bay

Three Coins In The Fountain (Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne)
Three coins in the fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless?
Three hearts in the fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome
Which one will the fountain bless?
Which one will the fountain bless?
Three coins in the fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Three coins in the fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
And just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a valentine
Make it mine!
Make it mine!
Make it mine!

Tea For Two (Irving Caeser/Vincent Youmans)
Picture me upon your knee
With tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me, alone!
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us
No friends or relations
On weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and I'm gonna wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
for you to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you, and a girl for me
Can't you see how happy we will be
Day will break and I'm gonna wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
for you to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you, and a girl for me
Oh can't you see how happy we will be

Sentimental Journey (Bud Green/Les Brown/Ben Homer)
Gonna take a Sentimental Journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a Sentimental Journey
to renew old memories
Got my bags, got my reservations
Spent each dime I could afford
Like a child in wild anticipation
I Long to hear that all aboard
Seven...that's the time we leave at seven
I'll be waitin' up at heaven
Countin' every mile of railroad
track, that takes me back
Never thought my heart could be so yearny
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take that Sentimental Journey
Sentimental Journey home
Sentimental Journey

It's Magic (Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne)
You sigh, the song begins, you speak and I hear violins
It's magic
The stars desert the skies and rush to nestle in your eyes
It's magic
Without a golden wand or mystic charms
Fantastic things begin when I am in your arms
When we walk hand-in-hand, the world becomes a wonderland
It's magic
How else can I explain those rainbows when there isn't rain?
It's magic
Why do I tell me myself these things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you?
It's magic
It's magic
Why do I tell me myself these things that happen are all really true
When in my heart I know the magic is my love for you?

If I Give My Heart To You (Jimmie Crane/Al Jacobs/Jimmy Brewster)
If I give my heart to you
Will you handle it with care
Will you always treat me tenderly
And in every way be fair
If I give my heart to you
Will you give me all your love
Will you swear that you'll be true to me
By the light that shines above
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Smile with me when I'm glad
And always be as you are with me tonight
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all those things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you
And will you sigh with me when I'm sad
Smile with me when I'm glad
And always be as you are with me tonight
Think it over and be sure
Please don't answer till you do
When you promise all those things to me
Then I'll give my heart to you

He can laugh but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each Spring to him
And long for the day when I cling to him
Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered am I

Unforgettable (Irving Gordon)
Unforgettable, that’s what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay
That’s why, darling, it’s incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Stardust (Mitchell Parish/Hoagy Carmichael)
And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we’re apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love’s refrain

For Sentimental Reasons (Deek Watson/William Best)
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, i'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart
I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

When I Fall In Love (Edward Heyman/Victor Young)
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I’ll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it’s begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I’ll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

Pretend (Lew Douglas/Cliff Parman/Frank Lavere)
Pretend youre happy when youre blue
It isnt very hard to do
And youll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend
Remember anyone can dream
And nothings bad as it may seem
The little things you havent got
Could be a lot if you pretend
Youll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, shell be there
Youll never be alone
And if you sing this melody
Youll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why dont you pretend?
And if you sing this melody
Youll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why dont you pretend?

Red Sails In The Sunset (Jimmy Kennedy/Hugh Williams)
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
She sailed at the dawning, all day I’ve been blue
Red sails in the sunset, I’m trusting in you
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset, way out on the sea
Oh, carry my loved one home safely to me
Swift wings you must borrow
Make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow
And she goes sailing no more
Red sails in the sunset
Way out on the sea (ooh-wee-ooh, wee-ooh
Oh, carry my loved one
Home safely to me

At The End Of A Rainbow (Sid Jacobson/Jimmy Krondes)
At the end of a rainbow
You'll find a ton of gold
(originally "You'll find a pod of gold")
At the end of a story
You'll find it's all been told
But our love has a treasure
Our hearts can always spend
And it has a story without any end
At the end of a river
No waters stop it's flow
(originally "The water stops its flow")
At the end of a highway
There's no place you can go
But just tell me you love me
And you are only mine
And our love will go on till the end of time
At the end of a river
No waters stop it's flow
(originally "The water stops its flow")
At the end of a highway
There's no place you can go
But just tell me you love me
And you are only mine
And our love will go on
Till the end of time
Till the end of time

Emblaceable You (Ira Gershwin/George Gershwin)
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you
Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me
I love all the many charms about you
Above all I want my arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to papa, come to papa, do
My sweet embraceable you

I get misty
And too much in love
On my own
Would I wander through this wonderland alone
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty
And too much in love

Cry Me A River (Arthur Hamilton)
Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For bein' so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you

Love Letters (Edward Heyman/Victor Young)
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And darling, then
I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
Love letters straight from your hear
