Dream Along With Me (Theme) / Accentuate The Positive

Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen

© DeSylva-Brown-Henderson Music, ASCAP

Dream along with me I'm on my way to a star
Come along come along leave your worries where they are

(Accentuate the positive eliminate the negative
Accentuate the positive and latch on)

You gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative and latch on
To the affirmative don't mess with Mr In-between

You gotta spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Ana have faith or pandemonium's liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale Noah in the arc
An' what did they do
Just when everything looked so dark

Man they said accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative and latch on
To the affirmative don't mess with Mr In-between
No don't mess with Mr In-between

(To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale Noah in the arc)
And what did they do
(What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark
What did they do what did they do)

Man they said accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative and latch on
To the affirmative don't mess with Mr In-between
No don't mess with Mr In-between
No don't you mess with Mr In-between
No don't mess with Mr In-between

It Could Happen To You

Johnny Burke - James VanHeusen

© Famous Music, ASCAP

Hide your heart from sight
Lock your dreams at night
It could happen to you
Don't count stars or you might stumble
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble
Keep an eye on spring
Run when church bells ring
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me
[ piano ]
It could happen to you
All I did was wonder how your arms would be
And it happened to me

Love Letters

Edward Heyman - Victor Young

© Famous Music, ASCAP

Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write

I memorize every line
I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
[ instrumental ]
I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

Almost Like Being In Love / Little Man You've Had A Busy Day / Gypsy In My Soul / Whiffenpoof Song

Medley

© April Music, ASCAP

What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why it's almost like being love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why it's almost like being love

All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me

And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was fallin'
I could swear I was fallin'
It's almost like being love

******

Little man you're crying I know why you're blue
Someone took your kiddy car away
Better go to sleep now little man
You've had a busy day

Johnny won your marbles tell you what we'll do
Dad will get you new ones right away
Better go to sleep now little man
You've had a busy day

You've been playing soldier the battle has been won
The enemy's out of sight
Come along there soldier put away your gun
The war is over for tonight

Time to stop your scheming time your day was through
Can't you hear the bugle softly say
Time you should be dreaming little man
You've had a busy day
[ instrumental ]
Time you should be dreaming little man
You've had a busy day

*******

If I am fancy free and love to wander
It's just the Gypsy in my soul
There's somethin' callin' me from way out yonder
It's just the Gypsy in my soul

I've got to give vent to my emotions
I'm only content havin' my way
Hmm there is no other life of which I'm fonder
It's just the Gypsy in my soul

No cares no strings
My heart it has wings
If I am fancy free and I love to wander
It's just the Gypsy in my soul
[ instrumental ]
If I am fancy free and I love to wander
It's just the Gypsy in my soul in my soul
The Gypsy in my soul

*******

(To the tables down at Morey's
To the place where Louis dwells
To the dear old temple bar we love so well)

Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled
With their glasses raised on high
And the magic of their singing cast its spell

Yes the magic of their singing of the songs we love so well
Shall l wasting and Mavoureen and the rest
We will serenade our Louis (we will serenade our Louis)
While life and voice shall last
Then we'll pass and be forgotten like the rest

We're poor little lambs who have lost our way baa baa baa
We're little black sheep who have gone astray baa baa baa
Gentlemen songsters turn off on a spree
Doomed from here to eternity
Lord have mercy on such as we baa baa baa

Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea

Ted Koehler - Harold Arlen

© Mills Music, ASCAP

I don't want you but I hate to lose you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
I forgive you cause I can't forget you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

I oughta cross you off my list
But when you come a knockin' at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I keep running back for more
I should hate you but I guess I love you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
[ instrumental ]
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
[ instrumental ]
Hmm you got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

I oughta cross you off my list...
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea

Red Sails In The Sunset

Jimmy Kennedy - Hugh Williams

© Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP

(Oh come back to me oh come back to me
Red sailors red sailors bring my love to me)

Twas down where fisher folk gather
I wandered far from the throng
I heard a fisher girl singing
And this refrain was her song

Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me
He sailed at the dawning all day I've been blue
Red sails in the sunset I'm trusting in you

Swift wings you must borrow make straight for the shore
We marry tomorrow and he goes sailing no more

Red sails in the sunset way out on the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me
[ instrumental ]
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me

The Birth Of The Blues

Buddy DeSylva - Lew Brown - Ray Henderson

© Harms Music, ASCAP

Oh they say some people long ago
Were searchin' for a different tune
One that they could croon as only they can

They only had the rhythm so
They started swayin' to and fro
They didn't know just what to use
That is how the blues really began

They heard the breeze in the trees
Singing weird melodies
And they made that the start of the blues

And from a jail came the wail
Of a down hearted frail
And they played that as part of the blues

From a whippoorwill out on the hill they took a new note
(Whippoorwill whippoorwill whippoorwill)
Pushed it through a horn till it was worn into a blue note
(Whippoorwill whippoorwill whippoorwill)

And then they nursed it and rehearsed it and gave out the news
That the southland gave birth to the blues
(Shout out the wonderful news)

Oh the breeze from the trees a wail from the jail
A buzz from the cousin of a nightingale
And southland gave birth to the blues

When I Fall In Love

Edward Heyman - Victor Young

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In an restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
[ instrumental ]
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

Come Rain Or Come Shine

Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen

© DeSylva-Brown-Henderson Music, ASCAP

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain ana deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together
And won't it be fine

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
[ instrumental ]
(You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me)
Come rain or come shine
(Happy together unhappy together
And won't it be fine)

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

(I'm gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you

You Made Me Love You / I May Be Wrong / Like Someone In Love / Vaya Con Dios

Medley

© Broadway Music, ASCAP

You made me love you I didn't wanna to do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you and all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes you made me glad
But there were times dear you made me feel so bad

You made me sigh for I didn't wanna tell you
Didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true yes I do
Deed I do you know I do

Gimme gimme me what I cry for
You know you got the brand of kisses that I die for
You know you made me love you

******

I may be wrong but I think you're wonderful
I may be wrong but I think you're swell
I like your style say I think you're marvelous
But I can't see so how can I tell

All of my shirts are unsightly
All of my ties are a crime
If dear in you I've picked rightly
It's the very first time

You came along say I think you're wonderful
I think you're grand but I may be wrong
[ instrumental ]
I may be wrong but I think you're swell
[ instrumental ]
But I can't see so how can I tell

All of my shirts are unsightly...

You came along say I think you're wonderful
I think you're grand but I may be wrong

******

Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me

Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
[ instrumental ]
I bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love

******

(Now the hacienda's dark the town is sleeping
Now the time has come to part the time for weeping)
Vaya con dios my darling
May God be with you my love

Now the village mission bells are softly ringing
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing (singing)
Vaya con dios my darling
May God be with you my love

Wherever you may be I'll be beside you (beside you)
Although you're many many miles away
Each night I'll say a prayer a prayer to guide you (to guide you)
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day

Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow
But the memories we share are there to borrow (no sorrow)
Vaya con dios my darling
May God be with you my love

Vaya con dios my darling
May God be with you my love
(Now the time has come to say goodbye)

It Had To Be You

Gus Kahn - Isham Jones

© Remick Music, ASCAP

It had to be you it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found somebody who
Could make me be true could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinking of you

Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss but they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you wonderful you it had to be you
[ instrumental ]
Some others I've seen might never be mean...
It just had to be you

Twilight On The Trail

Sidney Mitchell - Louis Alter

© Famous Music, ASCAP

When it's twilight on the trail
And I jog along the world is like a dream
And the ripple of the stream is my song

When it's twilight on the trail
And I rest once more my ceiling is the sky
And the grass on which I lie is my floor

Never ever have a nickel in my jeans
Never ever have a debt to pay
Still I understand what real contentment means
Guess I was born that way

When it's twilight on the trail
And my voice is still please plant this heart of mine
Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill

(Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill)
When it's twilight on the trail

Allan Roberts - Robert Allen

When we part I hold your memory
