Wait Till You See Him

Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

All of it lovely all of it's thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes

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

Wait till you feel the warmth of his glance
So pensive and sweet and wise
All of it lovely all of it's thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes
[ instrumental ]
All of it lovely all of it's thrilling
I'll never be willing to free him
When you see him
You won't believe your eyes

My Shining Hour

Johnny Mercer - Harold Arlen

© E.H. Morris Co, ASCAP

This moment this minute and each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by it will never die

This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
In my dreams your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night

Like the lights of home before me
Or an angel watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
Till I'm with you again
Till I'm with you again

I Like The Likes Of You

E.Y. Harburg - Vernon Duke

© Harms Music, ASCAP

I'm oh sorry
I'm sorry too now

I like the likes of you
I like the things you do
I mean I like the likes of you

I like your eyes of blue
I think they're blue don't you
Well I mean I like your eyes of blue

Oh dear if I could only say what I mean
I mean if I could mean what I say
That is I mean to say that I mean to say that

I like the likes of you
Your looks are pure deluxe
Looks like I like the likes of you

Oh dear if if I could only mean what I say
That is I mean if I could say what I mean
Oh that is I mean to say that I mean to say that

I like the likes of you
Your looks are pure deluxe
Deluxe thank you
Looks like I like the likes of you
Well now I look and I like
So it looks like I like the looks of likes of you
Looks like

It Amazes Me

Carolyn Leigh - Cy Coleman

© E.H. Morris Co, ASCAP

My height just average my weight just average
And my IQ is what you'd estimate just average
Evidently she does not agree
Consequently if I seem at sea

It amazes me it simply amazes me
What she sees in me dazzles me dazes me
That I've learned to clip my wings soften my ways
These are ordinary things quite unworthy of praise

Yet she praises me just knowing I'd try for him
When so many would if they could die for him
I'm the one who's worldly wise and nothing much phases me
But to see me in his eyes it just amazes me

Looking At You

Cole Porter

© Harms Music, ASCAP

Looking at you
While troubles are fleeing I'm admiring the view
Cause it's you I'm seeing and the sweet honeydew
Of well being settles upon me

I ask you what is this light that shines when you enter
Like a star in the night what's to prevent her
From destroying my sight if you center all of it on me

Looking at you
I'm filled with the essence of the quintessence of joy
Just looking at you
I can't help but singing of who's my favorite boy

My darling life seemed so grey I wanted to end it
Till that wonderful day you started to mend it
And if you'll only stay then I'll spend it looking at you

I'm filled with the essence of the quintessence of gee
I can't help but thinking of what are you making of me

Darling life seemed so grey I wanted to end it
Till that wonderful day you started to mend it
And if you'll only stay then I'll spend it looking at you

I Never Have Seen Snow

Truman Capote - Harold Arlen

© Harwin Music, BMI

I have lost my ugly spell I am cheerful now
Got the warmth all over smother my worried brow
Oh the girl I use to be she ain't me no more
I have closed the door on the girl I was before

Feeling fine and full of bliss
What I really want to say is this

I never has seen snow all the same I know
Snow ain't so beautiful can't be so beautiful
Like my love is like my love is

Nothing do compare nothing anywhere with my love
A hundred things I see a twilight sky that tree
But none so beautiful not one so beautiful
AS my love is as my love is

Oh once you see his face none can take the place of my love
A stone rolled off my heart when I laid my eyes on that
Near to me boy with that faraway look
And right from the start I saw a new horizon
And a road to take me where I wanted to be took
Needed to be took

AS though I never have seen snow all the same I know
Nothing can ever be nothing will ever be
Beautiful as my love is like my love is to me

Plenty Of Time

Fred Ebb - John Kander

© Alley Music, BMI

Dear Aunt Alice why should I marry him
My heart's young I keep it free
Oh Aunt Alice there's always time enough
Then she smiled and took my hand
And she said to me

When I was just a young thing I can recall
I dreamt of seeing Paris in fall
And London in the springtime oh I'd see it all
I'd see it all someday

For I had plenty of time plenty of time
Why should I worry
Yes I had plenty of time plenty of time
What was the hurry

When I was still a young thing oh love was for fun
Kisses and laughter then it was done
Yes when the game was over swiftly I'd run
Oh how I'd run away

For I had plenty of time plenty of time...

But a world that's right can soon go wrong
And I guess I waited much too long
For I've never been to Paris or to London in spring
And that love that I I intended to choose
The years just refused to bring

And now this humbly seems
That I've run out of dreams
I can hold on to
Once I had plenty of time oh plenty of time
Where has it gone to

Dear Aunt Alice I think I'll marry him
All too soon it's all too late
Yes Aunt Alice there's never time enough
Let me hold my love today
And let tomorrow wait

For Every Man There's A Woman

Leo Robin - Harold Arlen

© Leo Robin Music, ASCAP

For every man there's a woman
For every life there's a plan
And wise men know it was ever so
Since the world began
Woman's made for man

For every prince there's a princess
For every Joe there's a Joan
And if you wait you will find the mate
Born for you alone
Happy to be your own

Find the one find the one
Then together you will find the sun

For every heart there's a moment
For every hand is a glove
And for every woman a man to love

Find the one oh find the one
Then together you can find the sun

For every heart there's a moment
For every hand a glove
And for every woman a man to love

Where is he where cab he be
Where is the one for me

Lorelei

Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin

© New World Music, ASCAP

Back in the days of knights in armor
There once lived a lovely charmer
Swimming in the Rhine her figure was divine

She had a yen for all the sailors
Fishermen and gobs and whalers
She had a most immoral eye they called her Lorelei
She created quite a stir and I wanna be like her

I wanna be like the gal on the river
Who sang her songs to the ships passin' by
She had the goods and how she could deliver
The Lorelei

She used to love in a strange kind of fashion
With lots of hey ho-de-ho hi-de-hi
And I can guarantee I'm full of passion
Like the Lorelei

Well now I'm treacherous ya ya
And I just can't hold myself in check
And I'm lecherous ya ya
I wanna bite my initials on a sailor's neck

Ah each affair has a kick and a wallop
For what they crave I can always supply
I wanna be just like that other trollop
Called Lorelei Lorelei

Shouldn't There Be Lightning

Larry Alexander - Billy Goldenberg

© Montage Music, ASCAP

Shouldn't there be lightning flashing in the sky
Shouldn't there be thunder crashing by and by
Shouldn't there be choirs singing high above
That's supposed to happen if we are in love

Shouldn't there be music playing in the trees
Shouldn't there be flowers swaying in the breeze
Shouldn't every pigeon tell us he's a dove
That's supposed to happen if we are in love

Shouldn't every little pool become a wishing well
Shouldn't every auto horn become a ringing bell
Shouldn't every tenement become a citadel
If it's love I'm told that's how you tell

But if there can't be rainbows following behind
If there can't be rockets, darling I won't mind
Minus all those trimmings that I'm speaking of
I'd dare them to deny that we're in love

Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out

Jimmy Cox

© MCA Music, ASCAP

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money I didn't care
Always taking my friends out for a good time
Buying champagne gin and wine

But just as soon as my dough got low
I couldn't find a friend no place to go
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
I'm gonna squeeze it and squeeze it till that eagle grins

Nobody knows you when you're down and out
In your pockets not one penny
And your friends well you haven't any

Just as soon as you're on your feet again
Why everybody is your long lost friend
It's mighty strange without a doubt
But nobody wants you when you're down and out
[ instrumental ]
Well everyone becomes your long lost friend
I tell you it's mighty strange without a doubt
No one remembers and nobody wants you
No nobody wants you when you're down and out

Walk Right In / How Come You Do Me Like You Do

Medley

© Ryerson Music, BMI

Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
Everybody's talking bout a new way of walking
Do you wanna lose your mind
Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
[ montage ]
How come you do me like you do do do
Daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in sit yourself down
Oh I ain't done nothing to you
Oh if you rave I'll have to get you told
Cause I can change your temperature from hot to cold
Oh walk right in sit right down
Daddy let your mind roll on
Oh how come you do me like you do
Well how come you do me like you do yeah
