Today I Love Everybody

Dorothy Fields - Harold Arlen

© Harwin Music, BMI

I think the sky is blue as far as I can see
But should you say the sky is gray it still looks blue to me
I know the road is wide I've known it all along
But if you decide the road's not wide I won't say you're wrong

Cause today I love everybody everybody I see
I hope today is the day I can say that everybody loves me
Today I'd give anybody anything that I've got
Today I state I think all folks are great
Includin' those that are not

If joy can be contagious
Than catch this wild outrageous thing
And start the world to sing
Oh today I love everybody everybody I see
I hope today is the day I can say that everybody loves me

If joy can be contagious
Than catch this wild outrageous thing
And start the world to sing
Today I love everybody everybody I see
I hope today is the day I can say
That everybody loves everybody and everybody loves me
Everybody loves me

Let Me Love You

Bart Howard - Lou Levy

© Almanac Music, ASCAP

Let me love you let me say that I do
If you lend me your ear I'll make it clear the way that I do
Let me whisper it let me sigh it
Let me sing it my dear or I will cry it

Let me love you let me show that I do
Let me do a million impossible things
So you'll know that I do
I'll buy you the dawn if you let me love you today
And if that's not enough I'll buy you the first of May

Let me love you let me show that I do
If you lend me your ear
I'll make it clear the way that I do
Let me whisper it let me sigh it
Let me sing it my dear or I will cry it

Let me love you let me show that I do
Let me do a million impossible things
So you'll know that I do
I'll buy you the dawn if you let me love you today
And tomorrow I'll send you merrily on your way

How's Your Romance / After You / Love Of My Life / It's All Right With Me

Cole Porter

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

In Italia the signori are so very amatory
That their passion a priori is l'amor
Is it always amor
Si sempre amore and in Napoli and Pisa
Every man has on his knees a little private Mona Lisa to adore
As I once said before it's always amore
The result is when Italians meet a friend that been away
Instead of saying hows your health they say

How's your romance how is it going
Waiting or glowing how's your romance
Does he on love love you an awful lot
Cold tepid warm or hot how's your romance

Do you from the moment you met him
Never never never forget him
Do you when he sends you a letter
Begin to go into a dance

Break me the news I'm with you win or lose
Just tell me hows and who's your romance

After you who could supply my sky of blue
After you who could I love
After you why should I take the time to try
For who else could qualify after you who

Hold my hand and swear
You'll never cease to care
For without you there what could I do
I could search years
But who else could change my tears
Into laughter after you

Love of my life life of my love
I used to pray and pray you'd hear me
Love of my life angels above
Sent you at last to stay ever near me
Now we are one never to part
And nevermore need I implore you to miss me
Come to my arms come to my heart kiss me kiss me
Come to me come to me love of my life

It's the wrong time and the wrong place
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not his face but such a charming face
That it's all right with me

It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not his smile but such a lovely smile
That it's all right with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
Dear it's all right it's all right with me

The wrong time the wrong place
The wrong face not his face but such a face
That it's all right with me
The wrong song the wrong style
The wrong smile not his smile but such a smile
That it's all right with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you wanna forget someone too

It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not his lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you are free
Dear it's all right yes it's all right
It's all right with me

Honeysuckle Rose

Andy Razaf - Fats Waller

© Joy Music, ASCAP

Every honeybee sighs with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I won't blame them goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

When we're passing by flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're much sweeter goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

I don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar it's sweet when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection goodness knows
Honeysuckle rose

Every honeybee sighs with jealousy
When they see you out with me
I can't blame them goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

When we're passing by flowers droop and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're sweeter goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Don't buy sugar you just have to touch my cup
You're my sugar it's sweet when you stir it up

When I'm taking sips from your tasty lips
Seems the honey fairly drips
You're confection goodness knows
You're my honeysuckle rose

Day In Day Out

Johnny Mercer - Rube Bloom

© Bregman-Vocco-Conn Music, ASCAP

Day in day out
The same old voodoo follows me about
The same old pounding in my heart
Whenever I think of you and darling I think of you
Day in and day out

Day out day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I awaken with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain come shine
I look at you and then the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips and the pounding becomes
The oceans roar a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love can there be any doubt
When there it is day in day out

Day in day out
The same old voodoo follows me about
The same old pounding in my heart
Whenever I think of you and darling I think of you
Day in and day out

Day out day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I awaken with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you

Come rain come shine...

New Fangled Tango

Matt Dubey - Harold Karr

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Everybody's mambo crazy Cha-cha happy but I'm lazy
I don't dig that frantic terpsichore
When I trip the light fantastic I don't wanna be gymnastic
That's not what a dancing floor is for

What I got in mind is a big improvement
With a very minimal amount of movement
Let the other couples push and shove
What I got in mind I think you're gonna love

I've got a newfangled tango and there's nothing to it
You just sort of stand there and just sort of do it
You stand close together there's no wasted motion
A newfangled tango an old fashioned notion

The floor may be crowded but that doesn't matter
It's not necessary to move don't move why move
It may be crowded but that's all the better
It's just like romancin' while dancin' who's dancin'

Oh you start off with one step and cling to each other
And you know how one step can lead to another

Oh there's nothing wrong with a waltz or fandango
But oh what can come from n newfangled tango

You cling to your partner and sway to the rhythm
You can't lose your partner
Cause you're right there with him
You don't have to worry about fast or slow steps
The nice part about it in this dance
You don't need steps you don't have to worry
If your dancing won't do it's not what you do do
It's more what you don't do

You don't need a waltz or a fancy fandango
You just need a man and a newfangled tango
Forget the fandango give up the mambo
Do the tango

I Love To Love

Herbert Baker

© Jewel Music, ASCAP

From this moment on you for me, dear
Only two for tea dear from this moment on
From this lucky day no more blue songs
Only hoop de doo songs from this moment on

Oh you've got the love I need so much
Got the skin I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
Got the sweet lips to kiss me goodnight

From this moment on you and I babe
We'll be ridin' high babe
Every care is gone from this moment on

You've got the love I need so much
Got the skin I love to touch
Got the arms to hold me tight
You've got the sweet lips to kiss me
And kiss me and kiss me and kiss me

And from this moment on you and I babe
We'll be ridin' high babe every care is gone
From this moment on
