My Foolish Heart

Ned Washington - Victor Young

© Joy Music, ASCAP

The night is like a lovely tune
Beware my foolish heart
How white the ever constant moon
Take care my foolish heart

There's a line between love and fascination
That's hard to see on an evening such as this
For they both give the very same sensation
When you are lost in the magic of a kiss

His lips are much too close to mine
Beware my foolish heart
But should our eager lips combine
Then let the fire start

For this time it isn't fascination
Or a dream that will fade and fall apart
It's love this time it's love my foolish heart

For this time it isn't fascination...

I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You

Ned Washington - Victor Young - Bing Crosby

© American Academy Of Music, ASCAP

I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I'd found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'll be true

But what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
For I don't stand the ghost of a chance with you

You'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two...
But what's the good of scheming...

Stella By Starlight

Ned Washington - Victor Young

© Famous Music, ASCAP

The song a robin sings
Through years of endless spring
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples by a nook where two lovers hide

A great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight and not a dream
She's all of these and more
She's everything that you'd adore

That's Stella by starlight and not a dream
She's all of these and more
She's everything that you'd adore

A Hundred Years From Today

Ned Washington - Joe Young - Victor Young

© Robbins Music, ASCAP

Don't save your kisses just pass them around
You'll find my reason is logically sound
Who's gonna know that you passed them around
A hundred years from today

Why crave a penthouse that's fit for a queen
You're nearer heaven on mother earth's green
If you had millions what would they all mean
A hundred years from today

So laugh and sing make love the thing
Be happy while you may
There's always one beneath the sun
Who's bound to make you feel that way

The moon is shining and that's a good sign
Cling to me closer and say you'll be mine
Remember darling we won't see it shine
A hundred years from today

So laugh and sing make love the thing...
The moon is shining and that's a good sign...
A hundred years from today

Song Of Surrender

Ray Evans - Jay Livingston - Victor Young

© Paramount Music, ASCAP

Hear the treetops sigh
Hear the wind come whispering by
It's the song of surrender
Kisses waiting warm and shy

Hear the lonely stream
Murmur low come live your dream
Hear the song of surrender
How can we resist it's theme

For love seems to glow in the night
Why don't we follow the light
Know in your heart that it's right
To love take my love

Take my love to hold
Till the stars wither and grow old
Hear the night calling near us
Oh be fearless oh be free
Hear the song of surrender and come to me

Love seems to glow in the night...
Take my love to hold...

Everything I Do

Edward Heyman - Victor Young

© Victor Young Pub, ASCAP

Everything I do I do for only you
Everytime I wish I wish our dreams come true
And everything I ever see
I want for you as much as I would want for real

Everytime I pray I pray we'll never part
Everything I say I say with all my heart
I'd bring no moon no stars to you
It's only love I bring in everything I do

Everytime I pray I pray we'll never part...

My Darling My Darling

Frank Loesser

© Frank Music, ASCAP

My darling my darling I've wanted to call you my darling
For many and many a day
My darling my darling I fluttered and fled like a starling
My courage just melted away

Now all at once you kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except my darling my darling get used to that name of my darling
It's here to stay

My darling my darling I've wanted to call you my darling...

Now all at once you kissed me
And there's not a thing I'm sane enough to say
Except my darling my darling get used to that name of my darling
Oh it's here to stay
Oh my darling for it's here to stay

On A Slow Boat To China

Frank Loesser

© Frank Music, ASCAP

I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
To get you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all your lovers weepin' on a faraway shore

Out on the briny with the moon so big and shinny
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone

Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a slow slow boat to China
All to myself alone

Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year

Frank Loesser

© Frank Music, ASCAP

Spring will be a little late this year
A little late arriving in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where's our April love old
You have left me and winter continues cold

As if to say spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving that music it made in my heart
Yes time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year

Yes time heals all things so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that spring will be a little late this year

I'll Know

Frank Loesser

© Frank Music, ASCAP

I'll know when my love comes along
I'll know then and there
I'll know at the sight of his face
I care how I care how I care

And I'll stop and I'll stare
And I'll know long before we can speak
I'll know in my heart
I'll know and I won't ever ask

Am I right am I wise am I smart
But I'll stop and I'll stare
At that face in the throng
Yes I'll know when my love comes along

I'll know long before we can speak
I'll know in my heart
I'll know and I won't ever ask

Am I right am I wise am I smart...

If I Were A Bell

Frank Loesser

© Frank Music, ASCAP

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're cozy and clinging
Well sir all I can say
Is if I were a bell I'd be ringing

From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I've just got to behave
Boy if I were a lamp I'd light
Or if I were a banner I'd wave

Ask me how do I feel little me with my quiet upbringing
Well sir all I can say is if I were a gate I'd be swinging
And if I were a watch I'd start popping my springs
Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong ding dong ding

Ask me how do I feel
From this chemistry lesson I'm learning
Well sir all I can say is if I were a bridge I'd be burning

Yes I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked
Boy if I were a duck I'd quack
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked

Ask me how do I feel ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Well if I were a salad I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Or if I'd be a season I'd surely be spring
Or if I were a bell I'd go ding dong ding dong ding

Anywhere I Wander

Frank Loesser

© Frank Music, ASCAP

His arms were warm as they welcomed me
His eyes were fire bright
And then I knew that my path must be
Through the ever haunted night

For anywhere I wander anywhere I roam
Till I'm in the arms of my darling again
My heart will find no home
Anywhere I wander anywhere I roam

Her voice was oh such a soft caress
Of love it gently told
And in his smile was the tenderness
I may never more behold

But anywhere I wander anywhere I roam...
