MOON RIVER
(Johnny Mercer - Henry Mancini)
« © '62 Famous Music, ASCAP »

Moon River wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh dream maker you're heart breaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way

Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend my Huckleberry friend
Moon River and me
[ strings ]
We're after the same rainbow's end
Just waitin' round the bend my Huckleberry friend
Moon River and me

SECRET LOVE
(Paul F. Webster - Sammy Fain)
« © '53 WB Music, ASCAP »

Once I had a secret love that lived within the heart of me
All too soon my secret love became impatient to be free

And so I told a friendly star the way that dreamers often do
Just how wonderful you are and why I'm so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hill even told the golden deffodils
At last my heart's an open door and my secret love's no secret anymore

Now I shout it from the highest hill...

WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR
(Ned Washington - Leigh Harline)
« © '40 Bourne Co, ASCAP »

When you wish upon a star makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream no request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do

Fate is kind she brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star your dream comes true
[ strings ]
Like a bolt out of the blue...

WHATEVER WILL BE WILL BE
(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans)
« © '55 Jay Livingston Music, ASCAP / St Angelo Music, ASCAP »

Que sera sera whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see que sera sera
What will be will be

When I was just a little girl I asked my mother what will I be
Will I be pretty will I be rich here's what she said to me

Que sera sera whatever will be will be...

When I was just a child in school I asked my teacher what should I try
Should I paint picture should I sing song this was her wise reply

Que sera sera whatever will be will be...

Now I have children of my own they asked their mother what will I be
Will I be pretty will I be rich I tell them tenderly

Que sera sera whatever will be will be...
Que sera que sera

OVER THE RAINBOW
(E.Y. Harburg - Harold Arlen)
« © '62 Feist Catalog, ASCAP »

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds
Are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops a way above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow why then oh why can't I

Someday I'll wish upon a star...
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly...
The happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I

LULLABY OF BROADWAY
(Harry Warren - Al Dubin)
« © '62 WB Music, ASCAP »

Come on along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and bally hoo the lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of that subway train the rattle of the taxis
The daffodills who entertain at Angelo's and Maxie's

When a Broadway baby says good night it's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight until the dawn

Good night baby good night that old milkman's on his way
Sleep tight baby tight tight let's call it a day hey

Come on along and listen to the lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and bally hoo the lullaby of Broadway
That band begins to go to town end everyone goes crazy
You rock-a-bye your baby round till everything gets hazy

Hush-a-bye I'll buy you this and that you hear a daddy sayin'
And baby goes home to her flat to nap all day

Good night baby good night let's call it a day
And listen to a lullaby of ol' Broadway

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
[ strings ]
If there is some other way...

LAST TIME I SAW PARIS
(Oscar Hammerstein - Jerome Kern)
« © '40 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »

The last time I saw Paris her heart was warm and gay
I heard the laughter of her heart in every street cafe
The last time I saw Paris her trees were dressed for spring
And lovers walked beneath those trees and birds found songs to sing

I dodged the same old taxicabs that I had dodged for years
The chorus of the squeaky horns was music to my ears
Last time I saw Paris her heart was warm and gay
No matter how they changed her I'll remember her that way
[ strings ]
I dodged the same old taxicabs...

HIGH HOPES
(Sammy Cahn - James VanHeusen)
« © '62 Maraville Music, ASCAP »

Next time your found with your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learn so look around

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant can't move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin' low stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant

When troubles call and your back's to the wall
There a lots to be learned that wall could fall

Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram scram
He kept buttin' that dam

Cause he had high hopes he had high hopes
He had high apple pie in the sky hopes

So any time your feelin' bad stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam

So keep those high hopes keep those high hopes
Keep that apple pie in the sky hopes

All problems just a toy balloon they'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop

WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT
(Dorothy Fields - Jerome Kern)
« © '36 Aldi Music, ASCAP / 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

Gee 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

Oh love me never never change
Keep that breathless charm won't you please arrange it
Cause I love you just the way you look tonight

Oh love me never never change...

ALL THE WAY
(Sammy Cahn - James Van Heusen)
« © '57 Maraville Music, ASCAP »

When somebody loves you it's not good unless he loves you all the way
Happy to be near you when you need someone to cheer you all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is that's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue sea is now that's how deep it goes if it's real

When somebody needs you it's not good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years
And through all the end between years come what may
Who knows where the road will lead us only a fool would say
But if you let me love you it's for sure I'm gonna love you all the way
All the way
