Prisoner Of Love

Clarence Gaskill - Leo Robin - Russ Columbo

Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner of love

For one command I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner of love

What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another I can't have another for I'm not free

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her I'm creeping
My very life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner of love
[ instrumental ]
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me
Although she has another I can't have another for I'm not free

She's in my dreams awake or sleeping...

Because

Edward Lockton - Guy DeHardelot

Because you come to me with naught save love
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above
A wider world of hope and joy I see
Because you come to me

Because you speak to me in accent sweet
I find the roses waking round my feet
And I am led through tears and joy to thee
Because you speak to me

Because God made thee mine I'll cherish thee
Through light and darkness through all time to be
And pray his love may make our love divine
Because God made thee mine

When You Were Sweet Sixteen

Jim Thornton

When first I saw the love light in your eyes
I dreamed the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream but what I dream of thee

I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is o'er
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet when you were sweet sixteen

(I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is o'er)
I love you as I loved you
When you were sweet when you were sweet sixteen

Far Away Places

Joan Whitney - Alex Kramer

Far away places with strange soundin' names
Far away over the sea
Those far away places with strange soundin' names
Are callin' callin' me

Go into China or maybe Siam
I wanna see for myself
Those far away places I've been readin' about
In a book that I took from a shelf

I start gettin' restless whenever I hear
The whistle of a train
I pray for the day I can get under way
And look for those castles in Spain

They call me a dreamer well maybe I am
But I know that I'm burnin' to see
Those far away places with the strange soundin' names
Callin' callin' me

Black Moonlight

Sam Coslow - Arthur Johnston

© Harmony Music, ASCAP

Lost in the shuffle I've drifted and strayed
Bruised by the city bewildered betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge to the land that divides

What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed
Why do I ask myself shall I go back
when I seem to be going ahead

To black moonlight where everything reflects your color
Darkness that is endless nights that leave me friendless blue
Black moonlight you make the lights of Harlem duller
Just like me you're faded jaded and degraded too

Why must you send ebony moonbeams depressing distressing
Like shadows of love that are gone
Where will it end will it spread on to the starlight the sunlight
and darken each promise of dawn

Black moonlight I've lost all power to resist you
Madly I await you even though I hate you
Black black moonlight

While We're Young

William Engvick - Alec Wilder - Mortimer Palitz

© Regent Music, BMI

Songs were made to sing while we're young
Every day is spring while we're young
None can refuse time flies so fast
Too dear to lose and too sweet to last

Though it may be just for today
Share our love we must while we may
So blue the skies all sweet surprise
Shines before our eyes while we're young

(None can refuse time flies so fast
Too dear to lose and too sweet to last)

Though it may be just for today...

The Song Of Songs

Clarence Lucas - Harold Moya

© WB Music, ASCAP

Do you recall that night in June when first we met
Do you remember love the words we spoke
Have you forgotten all the tender vows we made
in the silent magical moonbeams light

Gone are the golden dreams with summer roses
And all of our tenderest vows were made but to be broken

Song of songs song of memory
And broken melody of love and life
Nevermore for me can that melody
Fill the heart with the joy once it knew

Oh night of bliss night of June and love
Beneath the stars amid the roses
Oh dream of delight that faded at dawn
Oh song of songs the night of bliss
When you were my whole world of love

When you were my whole world of love
Of love

Till The End Of Time

Buddy Kaye - Ted Mossman

© Joy Music, ASCAP

Till the end of time
Long as stars are in the blue
Long as there's a spring a bird to sing
I'll go on loving you

Till the end of time
Long as roses bloom in May
My love for you will grow deeper
With every passing day

Till the wells run dry
And each mountain disappears
I'll be there for you to care for you
Through laughter and through tears

So take my heart in sweet surrender
And tenderly say that I'm
The one you love and live for
Till the end of time
[ instrumental ]
Till the wells run dry...
So take my heart in sweet surrender...

Temptation

Arthur Freed - Nacio Brown

© Robbins Music, ASCAP

You came I was alone
I should have known you were temptation
You smiled luring me on
My heart was gone and you were temptation

It would be thrilling if you were willing
And if it can never be pity me

For you were born to be kissed
I can't resist you are temptation
And I'm yours here is my heart
Take it and say we'll never part

I'm just a slave only a slave to you
Temptation I'm your slave

If

Robert Hargreaves - Stanley Damerell - Tolchard Evans

© Shapiro Bernstein Co, ASCAP

If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd cling to you
If my friends were a crowd I turn on my knee to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I had the right to you
[ instrumental ]
If I ruled the night stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd cling to you...

If There Is Someone Lovelier Than You

Howard Dietz - Arthur Schwartz

© WB Music, ASCAP

If there is someone lovelier than you
Then I am blind a man without a mind
If there is someone lovelier than you

But no I'm not blind my eyes have traveled everywhere
In hopes that I might find a creature half so fair

If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful such beauty can't be true
[ instrumental ]
If there is someone lovelier than you
By all that's beautiful such beauty can't be true

Over The Rainbow

E.Y. Harburg - Harold Arlen

© Leo Feist Music, 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
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
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
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I
