IF I COULD BE WITH YOU

(James P. Johnson - Henry Creamer)
« © '57 WB Music, ASCAP »
If I could be with you one hour tonight
If I was free to do the things I might
I want you to know I wouldn't go
Until I told you honey why I love you so

If I could be with you I'd love you strong
If I could be with you I'd love you long
I'm telling you true I'd be anything but blue
If I could be with you
[ clarinet ] If I could be with you one hour tonight
If I was free to do the things I might
I'm telling you true I'd be anything but blue
If I could be with you one hour
If I could be with you

IT'S GOOD TO WANT YOU BAD

(Bobby Troup)
« © '57 Londontown Music, ASCAP »
Please baby hold me close as you can
Make me feel so glad
Arms tight around me so right around me
It's good to want you bad

Please let me feel the warmth of your lips
Until it drives me mad
Please don't ignore me but just adore me
It's good to want you bad

When you make love the way you make love
It's almost too good to be true
Love me love me love me love me
I can't get enough of you

Please baby never turn off your smile
And make your baby sad
Keep right on squeezin' keep right on pleasin'
It's good to want you bad
It's good to want you bad
Oh you're so bad

GO SLOW

(Garcia Russell - Ned Crong)
« © '57 Londontown Music, ASCAP »
Go slow ooh-ooh honey
Take it easy on the curves
When love is slow oh honey
What a tonic for my nerves

Go slow ooh-ooh honey
We've got such a lot of time
When love is slow ooh honey
How the mercury does climb

I like my lovin' done gently
So when your kissin' lips start
Just a little here a little there
Sort of a la carte

Go slow ooh-ooh honey
Take it easy like you should
When love is slow ooh honey
Then it does you so much good

You make me feel so good
You make me feel so good

ROOM WITH A VIEW

(Al Stillman - Einar Swan)
« © '57 Stillman Songs, ASCAP »
A room with a view I've got a room with a view
Of wonderful you my next door dream
Cause you're the one and only one my heart really adores
And I'm so glad my window pane is just opposite yours

It isn't the moon way up in heaven above
It isn't the stars I'm dreaming of
I'm only looking forward to the time
When I'll be sharing with you
A heaven for two a room with a view
[ strings - piano ] It isn't the moon way up in heaven above...

NEARNESS OF YOU

(Ned Washington - Hoagy Carmichael)
« © '57 Famous Music, ASCAP »
It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no it's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no it's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me
The right to hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of you

ALONE TOGETHER

(Howard Dietz - Arthur Schwartz)
« © '57 Arthur Schwartz Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Alone together beyond the crowd
Above the world we're not too proud
To cling together
We're strong as long as we're together

Alone together the blinding rain
The starless night we're not in vain
For we're together
And what is there to 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

I WANNA BE LOVED

(Billy Rose - Edward Heyman - Johnny Green)
« © '57 ATV Harmony, ASCAP »
I wanna be loved with inspiration
I wanna be loved starting tonight
Instead of merely holding conversation
Hold me tight

I wanna be kissed until I tingle
I wanna be kissed starting tonight
Embrace me till our heartbeats intermingle
Wrong or right

I'm in the mood to adore
I'm ready for that well known turtle dovin'
I'm in no mood to resist
And I insist the world owes me a lovin'

I wanna be thrilled to desperation
I wanna be thrilled starting tonight
With every kind of wonderful sensation
I wanna be loved I wanna be loved I wanna be loved

SNUGGLED ON YOUR SHOULDER

(Joe Young - Carmen Lombardo)
« © '32 Feist Catalog, ASCAP / Warock Corp, ASCAP »
Snuggled on your shoulder cuddled in your arms
Dreaming while I'm dancing thrilled by all your charms

While the music's playing I'm in ecstacy
Sweetheart hear me saying this is heavenly

Dancing while lights are low what a grand sensation
Dancing you ought to know you're my inspiration

Let me dance forever dream about your charms
Snuggled on your shoulder cuddled in your arms

Dancing while lights are low what a grand sensation...
Let me dance forever dream about your charms...
Cuddled in your arms

YOU'RE MY THRILL

(Sidney Clare - Jay Gorney)
« © '56 Bourne Co, ASCAP / Gorney Music, ACAP »
You're my thrill you do something to me
You send chills right through me
When I look at you cause you're my thrill

You're my thrill how my pulse increases
I just go to pieces
When I look at you cause you're my thrill

Mhm nothing seems to matter
Mhm here's my heart on a silver platter

Where's my will why this strange desire
That keeps mounting higher and higher
When I look at you I can't keep still
You're my thrill
You know you are my thrill

LOVER MAN (OH WHERE CAN YOU BE)

(Jimmy Davis - Jimmy Sherman - Roger Ramirez)
« © '41 Universal Music, ASCAP »
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin' ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be

The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But there's no one to love me
Lover man oh where can you be

I've heard it said that the thrill of romance can be
Like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer that you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet and you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a kissin' ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be

Ooh what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be

BODY AND SOUL

(John Green - Edward Heyman - Robert Sour)
« © '30 Range Road Music, ASCAP / Quartet Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
My heart is sad and lonely
For you I sigh for you dear only
Why haven't you seen it
I'm all for you body and soul

I spend my days in longing
And wondering why it's me you're wronging
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you body and soul

I can't believe it it's hard to conceive it
That you turn away romance
Are you pretending it looks like the ending
Unless I could have one more chance to prove dear

My life a wreck you're making
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender myself to you body and soul
I'm all for you body and soul

MAKE LOVE TO ME

(Kim Gannon - Paul Mann - Stephan Weiss)
« © '41 WB Music, ASCAP »
Instead of making conversation
Make love to me
Make love to me my darling
While there is still a moon

Must I extend an invitation
Make love to me
Make love to me my darling
Tonight will end so soon

There are moments when my lips adore addressing you
But tonight my lips are only for caressing you
How about you

Before the mood that I'm in changes
Make love to me
Make love to me my darling
I'm so in love with you

Make love to me make love to me
Right now
