The Nearness Of You
05:58
|
|||
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Don't Explain
04:23
|
|||
Hush now, dont explain
Just say, you'll remain
I'm glad you're back
Don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
You mix with some name
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
Nothing rates above you
When I'm so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right and wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours, love
Don't explain

Alice In Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland
How do you get to Wonderland
Over the hill or underland
Or just behind the tree
When clouds go rolling by
They roll away and leave the sky
Where is the land beyond the eye
That people cannot see
Where can it be
Where do the stars go
Where is the crescent moon
They must be somewhere in the sunny afternoon
Alice in Wonderland
Where is the path to Wonderland
Over the hill or here or there
I wonder where

Inside a Silent Tear
04:54
|
|||
Inside a silent tear, I have a silent dream
That sometimes sails across, the patterns of my mind
For silence follows me, and dreams just disappear
And then I find myself, inside a silent tear.
I’m always finding love, when it’s not meant to be
Wheat is reality, and can it be defined?
When you’re a fool like me, it’s never really clear
So you have silent dreams, Inside a silent tear
Sometimes I laugh too much, to hide the emptiness;
To lose the loneliness, I’m not the laughing kind
I can’t say anything, I really want to say
Sometimes I try so hard, I stumble on the way
I’m always finding love, when it’s not meant to be
Wheat is reality, and can it be defined?
When you’re a fool like me, it’s never really clear
So you have silent dreams, Inside a silent tear

The Very Thought Of You
06:35
|
|||
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do
I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you, the longing here for you
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love

It's Only A Paper Moon
03:07
|
|||
It is only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hangin' over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me
Without your love
It's a honky tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believed in me

Everytime We Say Goodbye
08:29
|
|||
Everytime we say goodbye I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
And when you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye
Everytime we say goodbye I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go
When you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye

Why Don't You Do Right
03:34
|
|||
You had plenty money 1922
You let other women make a fool of you
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
You're sitting down, wondering what it's all about
If you ain't got no money, they will put you out
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
If you had prepared twenty years ago
You wouldn't be wanderin' now from door to door
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
I fell for your jivin' and I took you in
Now all you got to offer me's a drink of gin
Why don't you do right like some other men do?
Get out of here and get me some money too
Why don't you do right, like some other men do?
Like some other men do

The Girl From Ipanema
07:28
|
|||
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh
(Ooh) But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes I would give my heart gladly
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 (doesn't see)
