Green Green Grass Of Home

Curly Putman

© Tree Pub, BMI

The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize yes I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home

A Taste Of Honey

Rick Marlow - Robert Scott

© Songfest Music, ASCAP

And I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
Tasting much sweeter than wine
I leave behind my heart to wear
And may it always remind you of
A taste of honey

Tasting much sweeter than wine
I'll return I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you
He ne'er came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss was honey

Tasting more bitter than wine
I'll return I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll come back for the honey and you

Georgia On My Mind

Stuart Gorrell - Hoagy Carmichael

© Peer Int, BMI

Georgia Georgia the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind

Georgia Georgia that song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as a moonlight on the pines

Other arms reach out to me other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see that road leads back to you

That's why I said Georgia Georgia no peace can I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind yeah

Other arms reach out to me other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
That road keeps on leadin' right back to you
Can't help talking to you

Georgia Georgia
The whole night the whole night through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind yeah

Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind Georgia on my mind

That Old Black Magic

Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen

© Famous Music, ASCAP

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

The same old tingle that I feel inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go round and round I go
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide

I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
A flame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out the fire

You are the lover that I've waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby down and down I go all around I go
In a spin loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love

If Ever I Would Leave You

Alan Lerner - Fred Loewe

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

If ever I should leave you it wouldn't be in summer
Seeing you in summer I never would go
Your hair streaked with sunlight your lips red as flame
Your face with a luster that puts gold to shame

But if I'd ever leave you it couldn't be in autumn
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know
I've seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air
I know you in autumn and I must be there

And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow

If ever I would leave you how could it be in springtime
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Oh no not in springtime summer winter or fall
No never could I leave you at all

Any Day Now

Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach

© Bourne Co, ASCAP

Any day now I will hear you say
Goodbye my love and you be on your way
And my wild beautiful bird you will have flown

Any day now love will let me down
Any day now when your restless eyes
Meet someone new and to my sad surprise
And the blue shadows will fall all over town yeah

Any day now love will let me down

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't wanna stay yeah
Yeah until you've gone forever
I'll be holding on to my life
Holding you this way I'm begging you to stay

Any day now when the clock strikes go
You'll call it off oh yes you will
And then my tears will flow
And the blue shadows will fall all over town

Any day now love will let me down
And you won't be around
Don't fly away my beautiful bird
I don't want you to fly away

You Came A Long Way From St. Louis

Bob Russell - John Brooks

© Jewel Music, ASCAP

You came a long way from St. Louis
You climbed the ladder of success
I've seen the town and country cars
That were parked out in front of
Your fancy address

You came a long way from St. Louis
You broke a lot of hearts between
I've met a gang of gloomy guys
Who were doin' all right
'Till you came on the scene

You came here from the middle west
And natcherly impressed
The population here abouts
Listen baby I got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So natcherly I got my doubts

You got 'em droppin' by the way-side
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St. Louis
But baby you still got a long way to go

You had to blow the middle-west
And natcherly impressed
The population here about
Baby I've got news for you
I'm from Missouri too
So actually I got my doubts

You got 'em fallin' by the way-side
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
You came a long way from St Louis
But baby you still got a long way to go

I love ya I need ya I want ya
But listen baby oh listen baby
You got a long way to go yeah

I want ya I need ya I love ya
Listen baby come on back home
Oh baby you got a long way to go

My Mother's Eyes

Gilbert Wolfe - Abel Baer

© Leo Feist Music, ASCAP

One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes

Those baby tales she told
Of pathways paved with gold
I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wanderin' sparrow a lonely soul
I'd walk the straight and narrow till I reach my goal

God's gift sent from above
One true unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes
[ instrumental ]
I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wanderin' sparrow a lonely soul
I'd walk the straight and narrow till I reach my goal

God's gift sent from above...
I found in my mother's eyes

My Prayer

Jimmy Kennedy - Georges Boulanger

© Skidmore Music, ASCAP

When the twilight is gone and no songbirds are singing
When the twilight is gone you come into my heart
And here in my heart you will stay while I pray

My prayer is to linger with you
At the end of the day in a dream that's divine
My prayer is a rapture in blue
With the world far away
And your lips close to mine

Tonight while our hearts are aglow
Oh why don't you to tell me the words that I'm longing to know

My prayer and the answer you give
May they still be the same for as long as we live
That you'll always be there
At the end of my prayer

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 a restless world like this is
Love is ended before its 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 ]
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
