Aint Misbehavin
No one to talk to ....all by myselfNo one to walk with.....i'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin'......savin' all my love for you
I know for certain......the one I loveI'm through with flirtin'......it's just you that I've been thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'.......savin' all my love for you
Like jack horner.....in that ole cornerDon't go nowhere.....what do I care?Your kisses are worth waitin' for......believe me
I don't stay out late.......no where to go
I'm home about eight......just me and my radioAin't misbehavin'.......savin' all my love for you

All of You
I love the look of you, the lure of youThe sweet of you, the pure of youThe eyes, the arms, the mouth of youThe east, west, north and the south of you
I'd love to gain complete control of youAnd handle even the heart and soul of youSo love, at least, a small percent of me, doFor I love all of you
I'd love to gain complete control of youAnd handle even the heart and soul of youSo love, at least, a small percent of me, do
For I love all of you, for I love all of you

Alone Together
Alone together, beyond the crowd,Above the world, we're not to proud
To cling together, We're strongAs long as we're together.
Alone together, the blinding rainThe starless night, were not in vain;For we're together, and what is thereTo fear together.
Our love is as deep as the sea,Our love is as great as a love can be,
And we can weather the great unknown,If we're alone together.

Angel Eyes
Try to think that love's not aroundStill it's uncomfortably near
My old heart ain't gaining any groundBecause my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes, that old Devil sentThey glow unbearably brightNeed I say that my love's mispentMispent with angel eyes tonightSo drink up all you peopleOrder anything you see
And have fun you happy peopleThe drink and the laughs on me
But pardon me I got to runThe fact's uncommonly clearI gotta find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't herepardon me I got to runThe fact's uncommonly clearsee I gotta find who's now the number one
And why my angel eyes ain't hereExcuse me while I disappear

Autumn in New York
Autumn in New YorkWhy does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New YorkIt spells the thrill of first-knighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering cloudsIn canyons of steelThey're making me feelI'm home
It's autumn in New YorkThat brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty handsAnd they sigh for exotic landsIt's autumn in New YorkIt's good to live it again
This autumn in New YorkTransforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain
Lovers that bless the darkOn benches in Central ParkIt's autumn in New YorkIt's good to live it again

Body and Soul
My heart is sad and lonelyFor you I cryFor you, dear, onlyI tell you I mean itI'm all for youBody and soul
I spend my days in longingAnd wondering it's me you're wrongingWhy haven't you seen itI'm all for youBody and soul
I can't believe itIt hard to conceive itThat you'd turn away romance
Are you pretendingDon't say it's the endingI wish I could have one more change to prove, dearMy life a hell your'e makingYou know I'm yours for just the takingI'd gladly surrenderMyself to you
Body and soul
Life's dreary for meDay's seem to be long as yearsI've looked for the sunBut can see noneThrough my tearsYour heart must be like a stoneTo leave me like this aloneWhen you could make my life worth living
By taking what I'm set on giving, sweet heart
My heart is sad and lonelyFor you I cryFor you, dear, onlyI tell you I mean itI'm all for youBody and soul

Cheek to Cheek
Heaven, I'm in heavenAnd my heart beats so that I can hardly speakAnd I seem to find the happiness I seekWhen we're out together dancing cheek to cheekHeaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the weekSeem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streakWhen we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheekOh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peakBut it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheekOh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creekBut I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek(Come on and) Dance with meI want my arm(s) about youThat (Those) charm(s) about youWill carry me through...(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speakAnd I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)Out together dancing cheek to cheek

Come Fly With Me
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly awayIf you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far BombayCome on and fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to PeruIn llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for youCome on fly with me, let's take off in the blue
Once I get you up there where the air is rarifiedWe'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so nearYou may hear all the angels cheer 'cause we're together
Weather-wise it's such a lovely dayJust say the words and we'll beat the birdsDown to Ac apulco BayIt's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they sayCome fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
[Instrumental]
Once I get you up there where the air is rarifiedWe'll just glide, starry-eyedOnce I get you up there I'll be holding you so very nearYou may even hear a whole gang cheer 'cause we're together
Weather-wise it's such a cool cool dayYou just say those words and we'll beat the birdsDown to Ac apulco BayIt's so perfect for a flying honeymoon, oh babeCome fly with me, let's fly, let's fly
Pack up, let's fly away!!

Corcovado (Quite Nights and Quite Stars)
Quiet nights of quiet starsQuiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and dreamsQuiet walks by quiet streams
And a window on theMountains and the sea, how lovely
This is where I want to beHere with you so close to meUntil the final flicker of life's ember
I, who was lost and lonelyBelieving life was only a bitter, tragic jokeHave found with youThe meaning of existence, oh, my love

Days of Wine and Roses
The days of wine and roses laugh and run away like a child at playThrough the meadow land toward a closing door
A door marked "nevermore" that wasn't there before
The lone-ly night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memoriesOf the golden smile that introduced me toThe days of wine and roses and you
1st Verse Solo
The lonely - the night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memoriesOf the golden smile that introduced me toThe days of wine and roses and you

Dont Get Around Much Anymore
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floorCouldn't bear it without youDon't get around much anymore
Thought I'd visit the clubGot as far as the doorThey'd have asked me about you, daddyDon't get around much anymore
Darling, I guess
My mind's more at easeBut never, never, neverthelessWhy stir up memories?
Been invited on datesI might have gone but what for?It's awfully different without youDon't get around much anymore
And ohh, darling, darling, darling, I guessMy mind is more at easeBut never, never, neverthelessOhh, why stir up memories?
Been invited on datesMight have gone but what for?It's always awfully different without you, daddyDon't get around much anymore
Don't get around much anymoreDon't get around much anymore

East of the sun and west of the moon,We'll build a dream house of love
Near to the sun in a day, near to the moon at night,We'll live in a lovely way dearLiving our love in memoryJust you and I, forever and a day,Love will not die, we'll keep it that way,Up among the stars we'll find
A harmony of life, too lovely tuneEast of the sun and west of the moon, dear,East of the sun and west of the moon.Just you and I we'll build a dream house so lovely

Embraceable You
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 you be a naughty baby;Come to papa, do,My sweet embraceable you.
I love all the many charms about you;Above all, I want my arms about you.
Don't you be a naughty baby;Come to papa, come to papa, do,My sweet embraceable you.

End of a Love Affair
So I walk a little too fast and I drive a little too fastAnd I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do at the
End of a love affair?
So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too muchAnd my voice is too loud, when I'm out in a crowdSo that people are apt to stare
Do they know, do they care, that it's only that I'm lonelyAnd low as can be?And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all!
So I smoke a little too much, and I drink a little too muchAnd the tunes I request are not always the bestBut the ones where the trumpets blare!
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's takingYour placeBut what else can you do, at the end of a love affair

Falling in Love With Love
I weave with brightly colored stringsTo keep my mind off other things
So, ladies, let your fingersdance
And keep your hands out of romance
Lovely witchesLet the stitchesKeep your fingers undercontrolCut the thread, but leaveThe whole heart whole
Merrry maids can sew and sleepWives can onlysew and weepFalling in love with loveIs falling for make-believeFalling in love with loveIsplaying the fool
Caring too much is juvenile fancyLearning to trust is justFor children in schoolIfell in love with love one nightWhen the moon was fullI was unwise with eyesUnable to see
I fellin love with love
With love everlastingBut love fell out with me

Fly Me To The Moon
Fly me to the moon,And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like,On jupiter and mars.In other words, hold my hand,In other words, darling kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,And let me sing forever more,You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore,In other words, please be true,
In other words, I love you.

A Foggy Day
1. A foggy day in London town -Had me low -
Had me down -I viewed the morning with much alarm -The British Museum had lost it's charm.
2. How long I wonder -Could this thing last -But the age of miracles -It hadn't passed -For suddenly I saw you standing there -
And in foggy London town -
The sun was shining everywhere.

Gee Baby, Aint I Good To You
Love makes me treat you the way that I do,Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
There's nothing in this world too goodFor a girl so good and true.Gee baby, ain't I good to you?
Bought you a fur coat for Christmas,A diamond ring,A big Cadillac car, and everything.What makes me treat you the way that I do?Gee baby, ain't I good to you?

Gentle Rain
We both are lost and alone in the world,Walk with me in the gentle rain.
Don't be afraid; I've a hand for your hand,And I will be your love for a while.
I feel your tears as they fall on my cheek,They are warm in the gentle rain.Don't be afraid; I've a hand for your hand,
And our love will be sweet, will be sad,Very sweet like the gentle rain, like the gentle rain,Like the gentle rain, gentle rain, gentle rain, gentle rain

Georgia On My Mind
Georgia, GeorgiaThe whole day through (the whole day through)
Just an old sweet songKeeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)I said a Georgia, Georgia
A song of you (a song of you)
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pinesOther arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in the peaceful dreams I seeThe road leads back to you
I said Georgia, oh Georgia, no peace I find (no peace i find)Just an old sweet songKeeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind oh)
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderlyStill in peaceful dreams I seeThe road leads back to you

Just an old, sweet song

Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I seeThe road leads back to youOh Georgia, Georgia
No peace, no peace I findJust an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
I said just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Girl From Impanema
Tall and tan and young and lovelyThe girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes each one she passes goes ahh
When she walks it's like a sambaThat swings so cool and sways so gentlyThat when she passes each one she passes goes ahh
Oh...but I watch her so sadlyHow can I tell her I love herYes...I would give my heart gladlyBut each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at me
Tall and tan and young and lovelyThe girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes I smileBut she doesn't seeShe just doesn't seeNo, she doesn't see

Heres That Rainy Day
MaybeI should have saved
Those leftover dreamsFunnyBut here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy dayThey told me about
And I laughed at the thoughtThat it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish
That I threw asideAfter it brought my love so near
Funny how love becomesA cold rainy dayFunnyThat rainy day is here
It's funnyHow love becomes
A cold rainy day
FunnyThat rainy day is here

How Insensitive
How insensitiveI must have seemed
When she told me that she loved meHow unmoved and coldI must have seemedWhen she told me so sincerely
Why she must have askedDid I just turn and stare in icy silenceWhat was I to sayWhat can you sayWhen a love affair is over
Now she's gone awayAnd I'm aloneWith a memory of her last lookVague and drawn and sadI see it still
All her heartbreak in that last lookHow she must have askedCould I just turn and stare in icy silenceWhat was I to doWhat can one doWhen a love affair is over

I Could Write a Book
If they ask me, I could write a bookAbout the way you walk and whisper and look
I could write a preface on how we metSo the world would never forget
And the simple secret of the plotIs just to tell them that I love you, a lotThen the world discovers as my book endsHow to make two lovers of friends

I Get a Kick Out of You
My story is much too sad to be told,But practically everything leaves me totally cold.
The exception I know is the caseWhen I'm out on a quiet spree,Fighting vainly the old ennui,
And I suddenly turn and see your fabulous face.
I get no kick from champagne.Mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.So tell me why should it be trueThat I get a kick out of you?
Some, they may go for cocaine.I'm sure that if I took even one sniffIt would bore me terrifically, too.Yet I get a kick out of you.
I get a kick every time I seeYou standing there before me.I get a kick though it's clear to seeYou obviously do not adore me.
I get no kick in a plane.Flying too high with some gal in the skyIs my idea of nothing to do.Yet I get a kick - um you give me a boot - I get a kick out of you.

Im Just a Lucky So-And-So
When I walk down the streetSeems everyone I meet
Gives me a friendly helloI guess I'm just a lucky so and so
The birds in every treeAll sing so merrilyThey sing wherever I goI guess I'm just a lucky so and so
Well if you should ask me the amount in my bank accountI must confess that I'm slipping
But that don't bother me, cause confidentiallyI've got a dream that's pippin
And when my day is throughEach night I hurry to
A love that's faithful I knowI guess I'm just a lucky so an so

Ive Got the World On A String
Got the world on a stringI'm sitting on a rainbow
Got fat string tied around my fingerWhat a world, what a life, I'm in love
Got a song that I singI can make the rain go
Any time I move my fingerLucky me, can't you see I'm in love?
Life's a beautiful thingLong as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so and soIf I should ever let go
Got the world on a stringI'm sitting on a rainbowGot fat silly string tied around my fingerWhat a world, what a life, I'm in love

It Might as Well Be Spring
I'm as restless as a willow in a windstormI'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string
I'd say that I had spring feverBut I know it isn't spring
I am starry eyed and vaguely discontentedLike a nightingale without a song to singO why should I have spring feverWhen it isn't even spring
I keep wishing I were somewhere elseWalking down a strange new street
Hearing words that I've never headFrom a man I've yet to meet
I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreamsI'm as giddy as a baby on a swingI haven't seen a crocus or a rosebudOr a Robin on the wing
But I feel so gay in a melancholy wayThat it might as well be springIt might as well beSpring

Just Friends
Just friends, lovers no moreJust friends but not like before
To think of what we've beenAnd not to kiss againSeems like pretendingIt isn't the ending
Two friends drifting apartTwo friends but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Suddenly love diedThe story endedBut we're just friends
Two friends drifting apartTwo friends but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we criedSuddenly love diedThe story endedBut we're just friends

Love For Sale
Love for saleAppetizing, young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled.Love that's only slighty soiled.Love for sale.Who will buy?Who will like to sample my supply?Who's prepared to pay the priceFor a trip to paradise?Love for sale.Let the poets pipe of loveIn their childish way.
I know every type of loveBetter far than they.If you want the thrill of loveI've been through the mill of love.Old love. New love.Every love, but true love.
Love for sale.Appetizing young love for sale.If you want to buy my wares,Follow me and climb the stairs.Love for sale.

Misty
Look at me,I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree
And I feel like I'm hanging from a cloudI can't understandI get misty, just holding your handWalk my way
And a thousand violins begin to playOr it might be the sound of your helloThis magic I hear,I get misty the moment you're nearYou could say that you're leading me on,But it's just what I want you to do
Can't you see just how hopelessly I'm drawn,That's why I'm following youOn my own, would I wander through this wonderland aloneNever knowing my right foot from my left,My hat from my gloveI get misty, and too much in loveOn my own would I wander through this wonderland aloneNever knowing my right foot from my leftMy hat and my gloveI get misty and too much in loveLook at me...

Night and Day
Night and day, you are the oneOnly you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or farIt's no matter, darling, where you areI think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it soThat this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?In the roarin' traffic's boomIn the silence of my lonely roomI think of you day and night
Night and day, under the hide of meThere's an oh, such a hungry yearnin' burnin' inside of meAnd its torment won't be throughTill you let me spend my life makin' love to youDay and night, night and day

Old Devil Moon
I look at you and suddenlySomething in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching meIt's that old devil moonThat you stole from the skiesIt's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and you glance make this romanceToo hot to handleStars in the nightBlazing their lightCan't hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wideOn a magic carpet rideFull of butterflies insideWanna cry, wanna croonWanna laugh like a loonIt's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I thinkI'm free as a doveOld devil moonDeep in your eyesBlinds me with love

On the Sunny Side of the Street
Grab your coat and get your hatLeave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweetOn the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear the pitter-patAnd that happy tune is your stepLife can be completeOn the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with my blues on paradeBut I'm not afraid...this rover? s crossed over
If I never had a centI'd be rich as rockefellerGold dust at my feetOn the sunny side of the street

Out of Nowhere
You came to me from out of nowhere,You took my heart and found it free.
Wonderful dreams, wonderful schemes from nowhereMade every hour sweet as a flower for me.
If you should go back to your nowhere,Leaving me with a memory,Ill always wait for your return out of nowhere,Hoping you'll bring your love to me.

Prelude to a Kiss
If you hear a song in blueLike a flower crying for the dew
That was my heart serenading youMy prelude to a kiss
If you hear a song that growsFrom my tender sentimental woesThat was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss
Though it's just a simple melodyWith nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphonyA Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch
Oh, how my love song gently criesFor the tenderness within your eyes!My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss

Smile
SmileTho' your heart is aching
SmileEven tho' it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get byIf youSmile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining thru for you.
Light up your face with gladness
Hide ev'ry trace of sadness
Altho' a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
SmileWhat's the use of crying
You'll find that life is stillworth while
If you'll just smile.

Solitude
In my solitude
You haunt meWith reveriesOf days gone by
In my solitudeYou taunt me
With memories
That never die
I sit in my chairAnd filled with despairThere's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stareI know that I'll soon go mad
In my solitudeI'm prayin
Dear Lord above
Send back my love

Star Eyes
Star eyes, that to me is what your eyes areSoft as stars in April skies are
Tell me someday you'll fulfillTheir promise of a thrill
Star eyes, flashing eyes in which my hopes riseLet me show you where my heart liesLet me prove that it adoresThat lovingness of yours
All my life I felt contentTo stargaze at the skies
Now I only want to meltThe stardust in your eyes
Star eyes, when if ever will my lips knowIf it's me for whom those eyes glowMakes no difference where you areYour eyes still hold my wishing starOh, star eyes, how lovely you are
All my life I felt contentTo stargaze at the skiesNow I only want to meltThe stardust in your eyes
Star eyes, when if ever will my lips knowIf it's me for whom those eyes glowMakes no difference where you areYour eyes still hold my wishing starOh, star eyes, how lovely you are

Tangerine
Tangerine, she is all they claim
With her eyes of nightAnd lips as bright as flame
Tangerine, when she dances bySenoritas stare and caballeros sigh
And I've seen toasts to TangerineRaised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she has them all on the runBut her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine
Senoritas stare and caballeros sighAnd I've seen toasts to TangerineRaised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she has them all on the runBut her heart belongs to just oneHer heart belongs to Tangerine
Yes, she has them all on the runBut her heart belongs to just oneHer heart belongs to Tangerine

Two For the Road
If you're feeling fancy free,Come wander through the world with me,
And any place we chance to beWill be our rendezvous.Two for the road, we'll travel down the years,Collecting precious memories,Selecting souvenirs and living lifeThe way we please.
*In summertime the sun will shine,In winter we'll drink summer wine,
And every day that you are mine
Will be a lovely day.As long as love still wears a smile,I know that we'll be two for the road,
And that's a long, long, while.

The Way You Look Tonight
Some day, when I'm awfully lowWhen the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of youAnd the way you look tonight
Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warmAnd your cheeks so softThere is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness growsTearin' my fear apart
And that laugh..wrinkles your noseTouches my foolish heart
Lovely ... Never, never changeKeep that breathless charmWon't you please arrange it ? 'cause I love youJust the way you look tonight

What is this thing Called Love
I was a hum-drum personLeading a life apart
When love flew in through my window wideAnd quickened my hum-drum heartLove flew in thorugh my windowI was so happy thenBut after love had stayed a little whileLove flew out again
What is this thing called love?This funny thing called love?Just who can solve it's mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?I saw you there one wonderful dayYou took my heart and threw it awayThat's why I ask the Lawd in Heaven aboveWhat is this thing called love?
You gave me days of sunshineYou gave me nights of cheerYou made my life an enchanted dream'Til somebody else came nearSomebody else came near youI felt the winter's chill
And now I sit and wonder night and dayWhy I love you still?

Without A Song
Without a song the day would never endWithout a song the road would never bend
When things go wrong a man ain't got a friendWithout a song
That field of corn would never see a plowThat field of corn would be deserted now
A man is born but he's no good no howWithout a song
I got my trouble and woe but, sure as I know, the Jordan will rollAnd I'll get along as long as a song, strong in my soul
I'll never know what makes the rain to fallI'll never know what makes that grass so tallI only know there ain't no love at allWithout a song

You And the Night and the Music
You and the night and the music fill me with flaming desire,Setting my being completely on fire!
You and the night and the music thrill me but will we be oneAfter the night and the music are done?Until the pale light of dawning and daylight, our hearts will be
throbbing guitars,
Morning may come without warning, and take away the stars.If we must live for the moment, love till the moment is through!
After the night and the music die, will I have you?
