I FALL IN LOVE TOO EASILY

(Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne)
« © '45 Music Of America Publ, ASCAP »
There are those who can leave love or take it
Love to them is just what they make it
I wish that I were the same
But love is my favorite game

I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled
Cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast

Uhh uhh too easily
Mhm mhm too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last

My heart should be well-schooled...
Too fast

DOWN IN THE DEPTHS

(Cole Porter)
« © '36 Chappell Co, ASCAP »
This is New York
The fabulous town of New York
Manhattan I'm up a tree
The one I've most adored is bored with me
Manhattan I'm awfully nice
Nice people dinein' with me
Sometimes even twice

Yet the only one in the world I've ever been mad about
Talks of somebody else and walks out

With a million neon rainbows burning below me
And a million blazing taxis raising a roar
Here I sit above the town in my Schaparelli gown
Down in the depths on the 90th floor

While the crowds at El Morroco polish the parque
And at 21 the couples clamour for more
I'm uneasy and depressed in my regal eagle's nest
Down in the depths on the 90th floor

When the only one you wanted wants another
Whats the use of swankin' cash in the bank galore
Why even the janitor's wife has a perfectly good love life
And here am I facin' tomorrow alone with my sorrow
Down in the depths on the 90th floor

When the only one you wanted wants another...

DETOUR AHEAD

(Lou Carter - Herb Ellis - John Frigo)
« © '52 Woodrow Music, ASCAP »
Smooth road clear day
But why am I the only one travelin' this way
How strange the road to love should be so easy
Could there be a detour ahead

Wake up slow down
Before you crash and break your heart gullible clown
You fool you're headed in the wrong direction
Can't you see the detour ahead

The further you travel the harder to unravel
The web he spins around you
Turn back while there's time
Don't you see the danger sign
Soft shoulders surround you

Smooth road clear night
Oh lucky me that suddenly I saw the light
I'm turnin' back away from all that trouble
Smooth road no detour ahead

The further you travel the harder to unravel...

Smooth road clear night
Oh lucky me that suddenly I saw the light
I'm turnin' back away from all that trouble
Smooth road Smooth road no detour ahead

LOST IN A FOG

(Dorothy Fields - Jimmy McHugh)
« © '34 Cotton Club Publ, ASCAP »
I've been weeping never sleeping
There's a misty for my eyes
Darkness makes me realize

Like a ship at sea I'm just lost in a fog
My mind is hazy my thoughts are blue
Guess I'll always be kinda lost in a fog
Without you

Waitin' night and day like a bump on a log
I'm going crazy what can I do
Help me find my way cause I'm lost in a fog
Without you

It was sunny every day the sky was fair above
But you took the light away the day you took your love

Only fools like me could be tossed in a bog
I've got a heartache I never knew
Guess I'll always be kinda lost in a fog
Without you
Lost in a fog

I STAYED TOO LONG AT THE FAIR

(William Barnes)
« © '39 Tylerson Music, ASCAP »
Oh dear what can the matter be
What can the matter be
Have I stayed too long at the fair

Here in New York I'm many miles away
From people who were dear to me
Here in New York I'm finding every day
How very sad that kinda girl can be

I wanted the music to play on forever
But I stayed too long at the fair
I wanted the clown to be constantly clever
But I stayed too long at the fair

I found me blue ribbons to tie up my hair
But I couldn't find anybody to care

The merry-go-round is beginning to slow now
Have I stayed too long at the fair
The music has stop and the children must go now
Have I stayed too long at the fair

Oh mother dear I know you're very proud
Your little girl in gingham is so far above the crowd
Oh daddy dear you never could have known
Your love would be successful and so very much alone

I wanted to win all the fabulous treasures
But I stayed too long at the fair
I wanted to dance all the Mirielle'e measures
But I stayed too long at the fair

I bought me the ribbons all shiny and blue
But now I discover them no longer new

The lights of the Midway are fading above me
Have I stayed too long at the fair
I'd better run home to the people who love me
For I stayed too long at the fair
What can the matter be

WHO CARES WHAT PEOPLE SAY

(Jack Scholl - M.K. Jerome)
« © '46 WB Music, ASCAP »
When I lay me down to dream
I pray my love will keep
People talk but still I seem to lose no sleep
For talk is cheap

Let them say we're mad about each other
Let them gossip as they may
As long as we are mad about each other
Who cares what people say

When they say they've seen his arms about me
Should I take his arms away
As long as he desires his arms about her
Who cares what people say

We've built our dreams too high
Why should we let them all come tumbling down
I know that he and I
Will keep our love alive
Though we're the talk of the town

Let them say we're always seen together
That's the way we wanna stay
As long as we can always be together
Who cares what people say

We've built our dreams too high...
Let them say we're always seen together...
Who cares what people say

WAIT TILL YOU SEE HIM

(Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers)
« © '42 Chappell Co, ASCAP / Williamson Music, ASCAP »
My friends who knew me never would know me
They'd look right through me above and below me
And ask who's that girl who is that girl
That's not my light hearted friend
Meeting one boy was the start of the end
Love is a simple emotion a friend should come to him

Wait till you see him see how he looks
Wait till you hear his laugh
Painters of paintings writers of books
Never could tell the half

Wait till you feel the warmth of his glance
Pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely all of it thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes
He is my guy
