My darling my darling I wanted to call you my darling
For many a many a day
My darling my darling I flooded and flagged like a starling
My courage just melted away

Now all at once you've kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except my darling my darling get used to that name
Of my darling it's here to stay
(My darling my darling)
[ piano ] (Oh my darling my darling)
[ piano ] Now all at once you've kissed me...

Let's fall in love why shouldn't we fall in love
Our hearts are made of it let's take a chance why'd be afraid of it

Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise
Little we're knowin' still we can try to make a grow it

We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be that our hearts discover

Let's fall in love why shouldn't we fall in love
Now it's a time for it while we are young let's fall in love
[ clarinet ] Let's fall in love...
Let's fall in love let's fall in love

And they say in their little way that you belong to me

LOVELY WAY TO SPEND AN EVENING
(Harold Adamson - Jimmy McHugh)
« © '58 Cotton Club Publishing, ASCAP »
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
Can't think of anything I'd rather do
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
Can't think of anyone as lovely as you

We'll just belong together and dance round and round the room
Playing our favorite records humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you
[ guitar ] We'll just belong together...

WHY DON'T WE DO THIS MORE OFTEN
(Allie Wrubel - Charles Newman)

Why don't we do this more often just what we're doing tonight
Gee but it's great to get together again why does it only happen now and then
We ought to do this more often don't you will agree that I'm right
We make each other laugh we make each other sing
And you can never ever overdue the good things
So why don't we do this more often just what we're doing tonight

Just what we're doin' tonight

I'M YOURS
(Johnny Green - E.Y. Harburg)
« © '58 Famous Music, ASCAP »
Ask the sky above and ask the earth below
Why I'm so in love and why I love you so
Couldn't tell you though I tried dear just why did I'm yours
When you went away you left a glowing spark
Trying to be gay as whistling in the dark
I am only what you make me come take me I'm yours

How happy I would be to beg and borrow a sorrow with you
Even though I knew tomorrow you'd say we were through
If we'd drift apart then I'll be lost alone
Though you use my heart just for a stepping stone
How can I help dreaming of you I love you I'm yours
[ sax ] If we'd drift apart...
Hmm I'm yours

TWO SLEEPY PEOPLE
(Frank Loesser - Hoagy Carmichael)
« © '58 Famous Music, ASCAP »
Here we are out of cigarettes holding hands and yawning look how late it gets
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light and too much in love to say goodnight

Here we are in the cozy chair picking on a wish upon from the frigid air
Two sleepy people with nothing to say and too much in love to break away

Do you remember the nights we used to linger in the hall
Your father didn't like me at all
Do you remember the reason why we married in the fall
To rid this little nest and get a little bit of rest

Well here we are just about the same foggy little fellow drawsy little dame
Two sleepy people by dawn's early light and too much in love to say goodnight
Too much in love to say goodnight

EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE
(Cole Porter)
« © '44 Chappell & Co, ASCAP »
Goodbye
Every time we say goodbye I die a little
Every time 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
Every time we say goodbye goodbye
