Through the good or lean years
And for all the in-between years

Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The laughs and the jokes are on me
Pardon me but I've got to run
The fact's uncommonly clear
Got to find who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear

 As Time Goes By

Lyrics Facts and Trivia

You must remember this, Composer: Herman Hupfeld
A kiss is just a kiss, Lyricist: Herman Hupfeld
A sigh is just a sigh, Year of Composition: 1 931
The fundamental things apply,
As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo,
They still say "I love you,"

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Never out of date,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.

I found a thrill to press my cheek to,
a thrill I've never known.
You smiled
and then the spell was cast,
and here we are in Heaven
for you are mine at last!

 The Best is Yet To Come

Lyrics
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine
Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry
Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground
Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here
The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine
Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine

Fate seems to give my heart a twist

 Beyond the Sea

Lyrics Facts and Trivia

Somewhere beyond the sea Composers: Charles Trenet
Somewhere waiting for me Lyricists: Charles Trenet and Jack Lawrence
My lover stands on golden sands Year of Composition: 1 946
And watches the ships that go sailin'
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I'd go sailing
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt, ah
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing The sea that we see dancing along clear gulfs
has reflections of silver
The sea: reflections changing under the rain
No more sailing
So long sailing The sea in the summer sky confuses
Bye bye sailing those white sheep with angels so pure,
The sea, shepherdess of the unbounded blue.

See near the ponds those great wet reeds

See those white birds and those rusted houses

The sea has cradled them along clear gulfs

and with a song of love
The sea has cradled my heart for life.

The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon,
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And the cares that hang around me thro' the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
Oh! I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak,
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.
Oh! I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek,
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.
Dance with me
I want my arm about you;
The charm about you
Will carry me through to
Heaven, I'm in Heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

 Come Fly With Me

Lyrics
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama-land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue
Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry-eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may hear
Angels cheer, 'cause we're together
Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

 Desafinado

Lyrics
Love is like a never ending melody,
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
But our song of love is slightly out of tune
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
Now the orchestration doesn’t seem so rich,
Seems to me you’ve changed the tune we used to sing,
Like the bossa nova love should swing
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Now the song is different and the words don’t even rhyme,
‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,
And so what good’s a heart that’s slightly out of tune?
Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be,
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of loving!
We’re bound to get in tune again before too long,
There’ll be no "desafinado" when your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won’t be slightly out of tune, you’ll sing along with me!

52
Desafinado

Facts and Trivia

Composer: Antonio Carlos Jobim
Lyricists: Jon Hendricks and Jessie Cavanaugh
Year of Composition: 1 959

If you say my singing is off key, my love

You will hurt my feelings, don't you see, my love?
I wish I had an ear like yours, a voice that would behave
All I have is feeling and the voice God gave
You insist my music goes against the rules
Yes, but rules were never made for love sick fools
I wrote this little song for you, but you don't care
It's a crooked song, ah, but, all my heart is there
The things that you would see if you would do your part
Is even if I'm out of tune I have a gentle heart
I took your picture with my trusty Rollaflex
And now all I have developed is a complex
Possibly in vain, I hope you'll weaken, oh my love
And forget those rigid rules that undermine my dream
of a life of love and music with someone who'll understand
that even though I may be out of tune
When I attempt to say how much I love you
All that matters is the message that I bring which is:
My dear, one, I love you

Lyrics Facts and Trivia

Do nothing till you hear from me Composer: Duke Ellington
Pay no attention to what's said Lyricist: Bob Russell
Why one should tear the seam of anyone's dream Year of Composition: 1 943
Is over my head
Do nothing till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True, I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
While we're apart, the words in my heart
Reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothing till you hear it from me
And you never will!

I dream about magnolias in bloom

And there's one thing more I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

Yes, I would give my heart gladly, Garota de Ipanema
But each day, when she walks to the sea,
She looks straight ahead, not at me.
Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely,
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, I smile
but she doesn't see
She just doesn't see,
No, she just doesn't see.

Let our hearts call it a day.

To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

I said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist

For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know little fool
You never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin

Lyrics
When the only sound in the empty street
is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
that belongs to a lonesome cop,
I open shop.
When the moon so long has been gazing down
on the wayward ways of this wayward town
that her smile becomes a smirk,
I go to work.
Love for sale
Appetizing young love for sale
Love that`s fresh and still unspoiled
Love that`s only slightly soiled
Love for sale
Who will buy?
Who would like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price
for a trip to paradise?
Love for sale.
Let the poets pipe of love
in their childish way.
I know every type of love
better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love,
I`ve been through the mill of love.
Old love, new love
Every love but true love

Appetizing young love for sale
If you want to buy my wares
Follow me and climb the stairs

 Luck be a Lady

Lyrics
They call you lady luck, but there is room for doubt
At times you have a very un-lady-like way of running out
You're on this date with me, the pickin's have been lush
And yet before the evening is over, you might give me the brush
You might forget your manners, you might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've been a lady to begin with
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck let a gentleman see
Just how nice a dame you can be
I know the way you've treated other guys you've been with
Luck be a lady with me
A lady never leaves her escort
It isn't fair, it isn't nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice
Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight
A lady never flirts with strangers
She'd have a heart, she'd be nice
A lady doesn't wander all over the room
And blow on some other guys dice
Lets keep this party polite
Never get out of my sight
Stick with me baby, I'm the guy that you came in with
Luck be a lady tonight

She messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokey

Where he showed her how to kick the gong around
She had a dream that the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
He built her a house of gold and steel
A diamond car with platinum wheels
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them all a million times
Now Min and Smokie, they started jaggin'
They got a free ride in a wagon
She gave him money to pay her bail
But he left her flat in the county jail
Min met old Deacon Lowdown
He preached to her that she ought to slow down
But Minnie wiggled her jelly roll
And Deacon Lowdown yelled, "Lord save my soul! "
They took her where they put the crazies
Now poor Min's kicking up those daisies
You've heard my story this is her song
She was just a good gal, but they done her wrong
Poor Min, Poor Min, Poor Min.

 Moon Over Bourbon Street

Lyrics
There's a moon over Bourbon street tonight.
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
I've no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights the people and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon street
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can never show my face at noon
And you'll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
I've the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon street
She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans
She's innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moonlight
How could I be this way when I pray to god above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While there's a moon over Bourbon street

When marimba rhythms start to play Composers: Pablo Beltan Ruiz and Luis Demetrio
Dance with me, make me sway Lyricists: Pablo Beltan Ruiz and Luis Demetrio
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore Norman Gimbel (English)
Hold me close, sway me more Year of Composition: 1 953

Like a flower bending in the breeze

Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

 Teach Me Tonight

Lyrics Facts and Trivia

Did you say, I've got a lot to learn Composer: Gene DePaul
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn Lyricist: Sammy Cahn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn Year of Composition: 1 953
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
The sky's a blackboard high above you
If a shooting star goes by
I'll use that star to write "I love you"
A thousand times across the sky
One thing isn't very clear, my love
Should the teacher stand so near, my love
Graduation's almost here, my love
Teach me tonight
I've played love scenes in a flick or two,
and I've also met a chick or two
But I still can learn a trick or two,
hey teach me tonight
I who thought I knew the score of it,
kind of think I should know much more of it
Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it,
hey teach me tonight
The midnight hours come slowly creeping
when there's no one there but you
There must be more to life than sleeping
single in a bed for two
What I need most is to graduate,
what I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate,
you'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for lessons, teach me ,
come on and teach me ,
teach me tonight

 That's Life

Lyrics Facts and Trivia

That's life, that's what all the people say Composers: Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon
You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May Lyricists: Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon
But I know I'm gonna change that tune Year of Composition: 1 964
When I'm back on top in June
That's life, funny as it seems

But I don't let it get me down
'cause this old world, keeps goin' around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,
a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting, but my heart just won't buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet,

a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
and I know one thing

Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face

I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, I can't deny it

Many times I thought of cuttin' out
but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball a-and die

To my plea, casts a spell over me
Still I say to myself
Get ahold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head
with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance
In this crazy romance
You go to my head, you go to my head.

Pickin' up lots of forget me nots

You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung and a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm gonna feel the way I do today

And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart.
