DON'T TAKE YOUR LOVE FROM ME

(Henry Nemo)
« © '56 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Tear a star from mounty sky and the sky feels blue
Tear a petal from a rose and the rose weeps too
Take your heart away from mine and mine will surely break
My life is yours to make so please keep us hark awake

Would you take the wings from birds so they then can't fly
Would you take the oceans roar and leave just a sigh
All this your heart won't let you do this is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me
[ piano ] All this your heart...

IT HAD TO BE YOU

(Gus Kahn - Isham Jones)
« © '56 Bantam Music, ASCAP »
It had to be you it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinking of you
Some others I've seen might never be me
Might never be crossed or tried to be bossed but they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill with all your faults I love you still
It had to be you wonderful you it had to be you
It had to be you...

THAT OLD FEELIN'

(Lew Brown - Sammy Fain)
« © '56 Fain Music, ASCAP »
I saw you last night and got that old feelin'
When you came in sight I got that old feelin'

The moment that you danced by I felt the thrill
And when you caught my eye my heart stood still

Once again I seem to feel that old yearnin'
And I knew the spark of love was still burnin'

There'll be no new romance for me it's foolish to start
For that old feelin' is still in my heart
[ strings ] There'll be no new romance...

VERY THOUGHT OF YOU

(Ray Noble)
« © '56 Quartet Music, ASCAP »
The very thought of you and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do

I'm living in the kind of daydreams I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem to me that's everything

But dear I dream 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
[ guitar ] I see your face...

LITTLE ON THE LONELY SIDE

(Dick Robertson - James Cavanaugh - Frank Weldon)
« © '56 Quartet Music, ASCAP »
I'm a little on the lonely a little on the lonely lonely side
I keep thinking of you only and wishing you were by my side
You know my dear when you're not here there's no one to romance with
So if I'm seen with someone else it's just someone to dance with
Every letter that you're sending I read a dozen times or more
Any wonder that I love you more and more
Oh how I miss your tender kiss and long to hold you tight
I'm a little on the lonely side tonight mhm mhm
I'm a little on the lonely side tonight

SOMETIME

(Gus Kahn - Ted Fiorito)
« © '56 Keyes Gilbert Music, ASCAP »
Sometime to every lonely one sometime someone comes along
Somewhere there is an only one singing love's old song

The grey skies above you will change to ferries blue
Sometime someone will whisper I love you love you true
[ guitar ] The grey skies above you...

I DON'T KNOW WHY (I JUST DO)

(Roy Turk - Fred E. Ahlert)
« © '31 Cromwell Music, ASCAP / Fred Ahlert Music, ASCAP / Pencil Mark Music, ASCAP »
I don't know why I love you like I do I don't know why I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do I don't why you just do
You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do I don't know why I just do
[ guitar - strings ] I don't know why...

I CRIED FOR YOU

(Arthur Freed - Gus Arnheim - Abe Lyman)
« © '56 Miller Catalog, ASCAP »
I cried for you now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning that's one thing you're learning
I cried for you what a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found the heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you now it's your turn to cry over me

Now I found two eyes...

YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

(Mack Gordon - Harry Warren)
« © '56 WB Music, ASCAP »
You'll never know just how much I miss you
You'll never know just how much I care
And if I tried I still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know for heaven I told you so
A million or more times you went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
[ guitar ] If there is some other way...

SEPTEMBER SONG

(Maxwell Anderson - Kurt Weill)
« © '38 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
When I was a young man courtin' the girls
I played me a waiting game
If a maid refused me with tossing curls
I let the old earth take a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearl
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around she came
Oh it's a long long while 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

I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU

(Harry Warren - Al Dubin)
« © '56 WB Music, ASCAP »
Are the stars out tonight I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you dear
The moon may be high but I can't see a thing in the sky
Cause I only have eyes for you dear
I don't know if we're in the garden or on a crowded avenue
You are here so am I maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view and I only have eyes for you
[ piano - guitar ] You are here so am I...

WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT

(Dorothy Fields - Jerome Kern)
« © '36 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
Someday when I'm awfully low when the world is cold I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you and the way you look tonight
Oh but you're lovely with your smiles so warm and your cheek so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you just the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose touches my foolish heart
Lovely never never change keep that breathless charm won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you just the way you look tonight just the way you look tonight
