LOVER COME BACK TO ME
(Oscar Hammerstein - Sigmund Romberg)
« © '52 Bambalina Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Little lover won't you come back to me
The sky was blue in high above the moon was new and so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing lover where can you be
You came at last love had its day that day is past you've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing lover come back to me
I remember every little thing you used to do I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along I walk along with you no wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue the night is cold the moon is new but love is old
And while I wait this heart of mine is singing lover come on home to me
[ clarinet ]
But while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing lover bring yourself on home
[ clarinet ]
But while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing lover come on home to me yeah
I remember every little thing...

ALL THE WAY
(Sammy Cahn - James VanHeusen)
« © '57 Maraville Music, ASCAP »
If 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 that's how deep it goes yes it's real
If somebody needs you it's not good unless he needs you all the way
Through the good or lean years and for all the dream years come what may
Who knows where the road may 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
Who knows who knows where the road...

ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
(Dorothy Fields - Jimmy McHugh)
« © '30 Cotton Club Publishing, ASCAP / Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
Grab your coat and get your hat leave your worry leave 'em on the doorstep
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade oh oh with my blues on parade
But I'm I'm not afraid because this rover crossed over
If I never have a cent I'll be rich as Rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet's on the sunny side of the street
I used oh I used to walk in the shade...

PRISONER'S SONG
(Guy Massey)
« © '24 Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP »
Oh I wish I had someone to love me someone to call me their own
How I wish I had someone to live with cause I'm tired of living all alone
Please meet me tonight in the moonlight please meet me tonight all alone
For I had a sad story to tell you it's a story that's never been told
[ strings ]
Oh if I had the wings of an angel through the heavenly sky I would fly
I'd fly to the arms of my poor darling and there I'd be willing to die

DO I WORRY (YES I DO)
(Jerry Lordan)
« © '59 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Oh when you come home late with hardest reason
When you kiss me like your hardest reason
Do I worry do I worry do I worry
And when the songs you sing are sad and lonely
When you sit at home forget to phone me
Do I worry do I worry do I worry
Where do you go when you're not with me
There's a look in your eyes I don't like to see
Why don't you hold me like you use to do
I got a whole lot of loving just for you
But when your loving lips don't taste the same
And when you call me someone else's name
Well do I worry do I worry yes I do
Where do you go when you're not with me....
Over you I worry over you
