From This Moment On

Cole Porter

© Buxton Hill 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 dear
We'll be ridin' high dear
Every care is gone from this moment on

You've got the love I need so much...

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

My darling please take me and make me your own

Night And Day

Cole Porter

© Harms Music, ASCAP

Like the beat beat beat of the tomtom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall

Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer show'r is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You you you

Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you night and day day and night

Why is it so that this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom in the silence of my lonely room
I think of you night and day

Night and day under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spent my life making love to you
Day and night night and day
[ instrumental ]
Night and day under the hide of me...

Day and night night and day
Day and night

Old Devil Moon

E.Y. Harburg - Burton Lane

© Players Music, ASCAP

I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me

It's that old devil moon that you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon in your eyes

You and your glance make this romance too hot to handle
Stars in the night blazing their light can't hold a candle
To your razzle dazzle

You've got me flying high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside

I wanna cry I wanna croon I wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I think I'm free as a dove
Old devil moon deep in your eyes blinds me with love

You've got me flying high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside

I wanna cry I wanna croon I wanna laugh like a loon...

Old devil moon deep in your eyes blinds me with love
Old devil moon deep in your eyes blinds me with love

More

Norman Newell - Riziero Ortolani - Nino Oliviero

© E.B. Marks Music, BMI

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I'll give to you alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love you more each day

More than you'll ever know my arms long to hold you so
My life will be in your keeping waking sleeping laughing weeping

Longer than always is a long long time
But far beyond forever you'll be mine
I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
[ instrumental ]
I know I never lived before and my heart is very sure
No one else could love you more
And more and more

My Blue Heaven

George Whiting - Walter Donaldson

© Leo Feist Music, ASCAP

Day is ending birds are wending
Back to the shelter of
Each little nest they love
Night shades falling love birds calling
What makes the world go round
Nothing but love

Whippoorwills call and evening is nigh
I hurry to my Blue Heaven
I turn to the right a little white light
Will lead you to my Blue Heaven

You'll see a smiling face a fireplace a cozy room
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom
Just daddy and me and the poppy makes three
We're happy in my Blue Heaven

You'll see a smiling face a fireplace a cozy room
A little nest nestled where the roses bloom
Just my daddy and me and sparkle makes three
We're happy in my Blue Heaven
We're swinging in my Blue Heaven
Yes we're happy in my Blue Heaven
We're happy in my Blue Heaven

Cuckoo In The Clock

Johnny Mercer - Walter Donaldson

© Goldsen Music, ASCAP

There they were there they were he was baby talkin' her
And the cuckoo in the clock went Cuckoo
Every fifteen minutes he crew
Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo

Be a pal, be a pal said the fella to his gal
And the cuckoo in the clock went Cuckoo
I believe they're startin' to woo
Woo woo woo woo woo woo

They didn't know that everything they said was overheard
They didn't hear that little birdie givin' them the bird

So he said with a sigh who's your little peachy pie
And the cuckoo in the clock went Cuckoo
Though I'm just a little cuckoo
I'm not as cuckoo as you
Then he closed the door and withdrew
Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo

They didn't know that everything they said was overheard
They didn't hear that little birdie givin' them the bird

So he said with a sigh who's your little peachy pie...
Cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo oh yeah

Meditation (Meditacao)

Norman Gimbel - Newton Mendonca - Antonio Jobim

© Duchess Music, BMI

In my loneliness when you're gone
And I'm all by myself and I need your caress
I just think of you and the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear

Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay
I just close my eyes and the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings

Yes I love you so and that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do I will wait for you
Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me

By Myself

Howard Dietz - Arthur Schwartz

© DeSylva-Brown-Henderson Music, ASCAP

I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance

I'll try to apply myself
And teach my heart how to sing
I'll go my way by myself
Like a bird on the wing

I'll face the unknown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I myself
I'm by myself alone

Yes I'll go my way by myself
This this is the end of romance
I'll go my way by myself
Love is only a dance

I'll, I'll try to apply myself
And teach my heart how to sing
Yes, I'll go my way by myself
Like a bird on the wing

I'll face the unknown
I'll build a world all my own
Cause nobody knows better than I myself
Yes I'm by myself alone
Alone alone alone

Island In The West Indies

Ira Gershwin - Vernon Duke

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Oh there's an island down in the west indies
Ten dollars can buy
Far away from Sardi's and from Lindy's
Neath the tropic kaleidoscopical sky

We'll lie around all day and just be lazy
The world far behind
Hey if that's not livin' then I'm crazy
With no taxes and with no axes to grind

No traffic jams
Under the palm trees by the sea
With bread fruit and yams
We'll never need the A&P

In that romantic isle in the west indies
No airplanes above
We'll watch the turtles at their shindies
You and me and the Caribbean and love

Underneath the palm trees by the sea
We'll never need the A&P

In that romantic isle in the west indies
No airplanes above
We'll watch the turtles at their shindies
You and me and the Caribbean and love
Ah love ah love

Ours

Cole Porter

© Harms Music, ASCAP

The high gods above look down and laugh at our love
And say to themselves how tawdry it's grown
They've seen our cars in front of so many bars
When we should have been under the stars

Together but alone, ours is the chance
To make romance our own

Ours the white Riviera under the moon
Ours a gondola gliding on a lagoon
Ours a temple serene by the green Arabian Sea
Or maybe you'd rather be going out buying Gay Paree

Ours the silent sierras greeting the dawn
Or a sun spotted Devonshire lawn dotted with flowers
Mine the inclination, yours the inspiration
Why don't we take a vacation and make it all ours

Ours the glitter of Broadway Saturday night
Ours a box at the garden watching a fight
Ours the mad the brouhaha at the Plaza's Persian Room
Or if this fills you with gloom
We can go and admire Grant's Tomb

Ours a home on the river facing the east
Or in one of Park Avenue's least
Frightening towers oh this champion chatting
Sounds to me like Latin

Why don't we stay in Manhattan
And make it all
Why don't we stay in Manhattan
And make it all ours

Falling In Love With Love

Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers

© Chappell Co, ASCAP

Falling in love with love is falling for make believe
Falling in love with love is playing the fool
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school

I fell in love in love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love with love everlasting
Ah but love fell out with me
[ instrumental ]
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school

I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love with love everlasting
But love fell out with me
