Autumn Leaves
04:02
|

|
(Lyrics by Johnny Mercer)
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Georgia on My Mind
03:06
|
|||
|
(Lyrics by Stuart Gorrell)
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia
A song of you
Come as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peacefull dreams I see
the road leads back to you
Georgia, Georgia
No peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Misty
03:40
|
|||
|
(Lyrics by Johnny Burke)
Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree,
And I feel like I'm clinging 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
You can say that you're leading me on,
But 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, 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

(Lyrics by Ira Gershwin)
The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no they can't take that away from me
The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no they can't take that away from me
We may never never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always
Keep the memory of
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no they can't take that away from me
No they can't take that away from me

Makin' Whoopee
02:21
|
|||
|
(Lyrics by Gus Kahn)
Another bride, another June
Another sunny, honeymoon
another season, another reason
for makin' whoopie
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
It's really Killin that he's so willin'
To make whoopee
Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
Think what a year can bring
He's washing dishes, and baby cloths
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks, thats what you get folks
For makin' whoopee

God Bless the Child
04:08
|
|||
|
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said, and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Easy Living
03:15
|
|||
|
(Lyrics by Leo Robin)
Living for you, is easy living
It's easy to live, when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There is nothing in life but you
I never regret, the years I'm giving
They're easy to give, when you're in love
I'm happy to do
Whatever I do for you
For you, maybe I'm a fool but it's fun
People say you rule me with one
Wave of your hand, darling, it's grand
They just don't understand
Living for you, is easy living
It's easy to live, when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you

Stardust
02:55
|
|||
|
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
of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Blue Moon
02:37
|
|||
|
(Lyrics by Lorenz Hart)
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
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

Summertime

(Lyrics by Ira Gershwin)
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

Moonlight in Vermont
03:36
|
|||
|
(Lyrics by John Blackburn)
Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves, a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Icy finger waves
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont.
Telegraph cables that 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 meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont
You and I and moonlight in Vermont
