Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely night dreaming of a song.
The melody haunts my reverie and I’m once again with you
When our love was new and each kiss an inspiration.
But that was long ago. Now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.
Beside a garden wall, when stars are bright, you are in my arms.
The nightingale tells his fairy tale of paradise where roses grow.
Tho’ I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain
My stardust melody, the melody of love’s sweet refrain.
(Mitchell Parish)
I stand at your gate and the song that I sing is of moonlight
I stand and I wait for the touch of your hand in the June night
The roses are sighing a moonlight serenade
The stars are aglow and tonight their light set me dreaming
My love, do you know, that your eyes are like stars brightly beaming?
I bring you and I sing you a moonlight serenade
Let us stray 'till the break of day in love's valley of dreams
Just you and I, a summer sky, a heavenly breeze, a kiss in the trees
So don't let me wait, come to me tenderly in the June night
I stand at your gate and I sing you a song in the moonlight
A love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade
(Mitchell
Parish)
Hold me, kiss me
Whisper sweet things
That you love me
Forever
(B. Killen)
Ring twice if you're lonesome.
Someday when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel aglow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight
Lovely, never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight
I love you
Just the way you look tonight
(D. Fields)
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along
Moonlight becomes you- it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear
Moonlight becomes you - I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight
You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't you tell me I'm wrong
What a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along?
And if I say: "I love you" - I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight - although
Moonlight becomes you so
(Sonny Burke)
Keep holding me tight
Through the last dance, each beat of the last dance
And save me the first dance in your dreams tonight
Under a blanket of blue
Just you and I beneath the stars
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
The night is ours
Under a blanket of blue
Let me be thrilled by all your charms
Darling, I know my heart will dance
Within your arms
A summer nights magic
Enthralling me so
The night would be tragic
If you weren’t here to share it, my dear
Covered with heaven above
Let’s dream a dream of love for two
Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance
Under a blanket of blue
(Glen Gray)
Tear a star from out the sky
And the sky feels blue
Tear a petal from a rose
And the rose weeps too
Take your heart away from mine
And mine will surely break
My life is yours to make
So please keep the spark awake
Would you take the wings from birds
So that they can't fly
Would you take the ocean's roar
And leave just a sigh
All this your heart won't let you do
This is what I beg of you
Don't take your love from me
(Henry
Nemo)
I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be seeing you.
(Irving Kahal)
In the blue of
evening when you appear close to me, dear one,
There in the dusk we'll share a dream
reverie,
In the blue of evening while crickets
call and stars are falling,
There 'neath the midnight sky you'll
come to me.
In the shadows of the night we'll
stand, I'll touch your hand.
And then, softly as your lovely eyes
entreat, our lips will meet again.
In the blue of evening, night winds
above whisper I love you,
There will we find romance in the blue
of evening.
(Thomas
Montgomery Adair and Alfonso D'Artega)
Talk to her please
Mister Sun, speak to her Mister Rainbow
And take her under your branches, Mister Tree
Whisper to her, Mister Wind, sing to her Mister
Robin
And Mrs Moonlight put in a word for me
Tell her how I feel,
it shouldn't end this way
Since you all are her friends, she'll listen to
whatever you have to say
Babble to her Mister Brook, kiss her for me Miss
Raindrops
And watch to see they all do please Mister Sun!
Babble to her Mister
Brook, kiss her for me Miss Raindrops
And watch to see they all do please Mister Sun
(Sid Frank)
Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance so close with your lips touching his face?
Oh, can't you see I'm longing to be in his place
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Ask him to sit this one out, and while you're alone
I'll tell the waiter that he's wanted on the telephone
You've been locked in his arms ever since heaven knows when
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
You may never have to change partners again
(Irving Berlin)
There's hidden persuasion within your eyes
Your charming indifference is but a disguise
I would be glad to love you if love is in the deal
But I must be quite certain that the love is for real
Your hidden persuasion seems quite sincere
Perhaps my evasion is meaningless fear
Since every game requires the element of chance
Here's hoping at least we'll find romance
(W. Churchill III)
Say you love
me every waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
that's all I ask of you
Say you'll
share with me one love, one lifetime
say the word and I will follow you
Anywhere you
go let me go too
Love me - that's all I ask of you
(Andrew
Lloyd Weber, Phantom of the Opera)
If I told a
lie, if I made you cry
When I said goodbye, I'm sorry
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize
If I caused you pain, I know I'm to blame
Must have been insane, believe me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize
I realize I've been unfair to you
Please let me make amends
Don't say that you forgot the love we knew
After all, we were more than friends
Give me back your glance, give me back romance
Give me one more chance, forgive me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize
If I made you blue, I've had heartaches too
Now I beg of you, forgive me
From the bottom of my heart, dear
I apologize
(sung by
Billy Eckstine)
Blow me a kiss from
across the room
Say I look nice when I'm not
Touch my hair as you pass my chair
Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street
Call me at six on the dot
A line a day when you're far away
Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds or pearls
Champagne, sables, and such
I never cared much for diamonds and pearls
'cause honestly, honey, they just cost money
Give me a hand when I've lost the way
Give me your shoulder to cry on
Whether the day is bright or gray
Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile
To show me you haven't forgot
For now and forever, that's always and ever
Honey, little things mean a lot
(Edith Lindman)
I see your face before me
Crowding my every dream
There is your face before me
You are my only theme
It doesn't matter where you are
I can see how fair you are
I close my eyes and there you are
Always
If you could share the magic
Yes, if you could see me too
There would be nothing tragic
In all my dreams of you
Would that my love could haunt you so
Knowing I want you so
I can't erase your beautiful face
before me
(Howard
Dietz)
Last night when we
were young
Love was a star
A song unsung
Life was so new
So real so right
Ages ago last night
Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star
That shone so bright
Ages ago last night
To think that spring had depended
On merely this a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could slip away in one little daybreak
So now let's reminisce and recollect
the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
When we were young last night
(Harold Arlen)
Once my heart was
yearning just to know
If a true love there would
ever grow
Then you came into my
life one day
Stole my heart and
took it far away
When twilight comes
I'm thinking of you
When twilight fades,
I'm dreaming of you
And all the beauty
and magic of love thrills my heart
Just as it did ere we
two had to part
How I have tried to
smile and forget
But memories come and
cling to me yet
Each night I meet you
and kiss you
Then lose you again
Love's twilight
dreams are in vain
There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship,
communion,
or company than a good marriage. (Mark Twain)
How much to discover
What chemical forces flow
From lover to lover
How little we understand
What touches off that tingle
That sudden explosion
When two tingles intermingle
Who cares to define
What chemical this is
Who cares with your lips on mine
How ignorant bliss is
So long as you kiss me
The world around us shatters
How little it matters
How little we know
(C. Leigh)
Did you say (that) I've got a lot to learn
Well don't think I'm trying not to learn
Since this is the perfect spot to learn
Teach me tonight
Starting with the ABC
of it
Getting right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it
Teach me tonight
One thing isn't very
clear my love
Teachers shouldn't stand so near my love
Graduation's almost here my love
You'd better teach me tonight
What I need most is
post graduate
What I feel is hard to articulate
If you want me to matriculate
You'd better teach me tonight
What do you get for
lessons
Teach me - come on and teach me - teach me tonight
(Sammy Cahn)
How can you forget
moments in the moonlight,
Moments of a love that used to be,
As I stare in space, I still see your
face,
And once again I'm lost in your thrilling
embrace.
Though the spell is o'er, somewhere in
the moonlight,
Mem'ries of your kiss will live anew,
And we'll meet, my love, as I keep
dreaming of
Moments in the moonlight with you.
(Irving
Gordon, Al Kaufman, Richard Himber)
Sincerely, oh yes,
sincerely
'cause I love you so dearly, please say you'll be mine
Sincerely, oh you know how I love you
I'll do anything for you, please say you'll be mine
Oh Lord, won't you tell me why
I love that fella so
He doesn't want me
But I'll never never never never let him go!
Please say you'll be mine
(Harvey Fuqua)
We love the shining
sea
He got a seashell
there for me
His hand, his strong
brown hand
We sit on the sand
He kissed the hollow
of my hand
His kiss, I miss his
kiss
I hear the seagulls
cry
I see them dip their
wings
I feel the pounding
surf
And other things
I can't believe he's
gone
I think I'll go where
he might be
I'll go, I need him
so
I need a shining sea
Its not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
Its just the nearness of you
When your in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If yowl only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you
(Ned Washington)
There was a moon out in space
But a cloud drifted over its face
You kissed me and went on your way
The night we called it a day
I heard the song of the spheres
Like a minor lament in my ears
I hadn't the heart left to pray
The night we called it a day
Soft through the dark
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Sad though his song
No bluer was he than I
The moon went down
Stars were gone
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
There wasn't a thing left to say
The night we called it a day
I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to light a
fire in your heart. (The Ink Spots)
Close your eyes
Rest your head on my
shoulder and sleep
And I will close mine
Let's pretend that
we're both counting sheep
Close your eyes
Oh, this is divine
Music play, something
dreamy for dancing
While we're here
romancing
It's love's holiday
and love will be our guide
Close your eyes
When you open them
dear
I'll be right by your
side, so
Close your eyes
(Bernice Petkere)
Dance only with me
Only with me near
your heart
Cling close to me
Never to part
Love only me
All of our days from
now on
Dance only with
me
'Till all our sweet
music is gone
(Betty Comden
and Adolph Green)
Put your dreams away
for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away(Ruth Lowe, Paul Mann &
Stephen Weiss)
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window looking on the mountains and the sea
How lovely
This is where I want to be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
I who was lost and lonely
Believing love was only
A bitter tragic joke
Have found with you
The meaning of existence
Oh my love.
(Antonio Carlos Jobim )
Today I may not have a thing at all except
for just a dream or two
But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow and all my tomorrows belong to you
Right now it may not seem like spring at all, we're drifting and the laughs are
few
But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow, and all my tomorrows belong to you
No one knows better than I that luck keeps passing me by ... that's fate
But with you there at my side, I'll soon be turning the tide ... just wait
As long as I've got arms that cling at all, it's you that I'll be clinging to
And all the dreams I dream, beg, or borrow on some bright tomorrow they'll all
come true
And all my bright tomorrows belong to you
(Sammy
Cahn, Jimmy Van Heusen)
I HAVE
DREAMED that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you whisper.
When you're close,
Close to me.
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you,
I will love being loved by you.
]
Alone and awake I've looked at the stars,
The same that smile on you;
And time and again I've thought all the things T
hat you were thinking too.
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.
I have dreamed every word you whisper.
When you're close,
Close to me.
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know.
What it's like to be loved by you.
I will love being loved by you.
(Rodgers & Hammerstein)
No more talk of
darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
My words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your
freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you.
say you love me every
waking moment,
turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
that's all I ask of you
Let me be your
shelter,
Let me be your light;
You're safe, no one will find you,
Your fears are far behind you.
All I want is freedom,
A world with no more night
and you always beside me
To hold me and to hide me
Then say you'll share
with me one life one lifetime
let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with
you here beside you
anywhere you go let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you
Say you'll share with
me one love, one lifetime
say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with
me, each night, each morning.
Say you love me
You know I do.
LOVE me,
that's all I ask of
you.
(Charles Hart)
The sky fell down when I met you,
The green of the countryside has turned
to blue,
I had the moon right on my fingertips,
And when first we kissed, there were
stars on your lips.
To be with you just made it seem
That walking on snowy clouds was not a
dream,
You gave to me all this and heaven too,
When the sky fell down and I met you.
(Edward Heyman, Louis
Alter)
A goddess on a
mountain top
Burning like a silver
flame
A summit of beauty
and love
And Venus was her
name.
She's got it, Yeah
baby,she's got it.
I'm your Venus,
I'm your fire and
your desire.
Her weapons were her
crystal eyes
Making every man mad,
Black as the dark
night she was
Got what no one else
had
She's got it, Yeah
baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus,
I'm your fire and
your desire
(Shocking Blue)
There's a
ship lies rigged and ready in the harbour
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be on board that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful und I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
I heard
there's a wicked war ablazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag araising
Their guns on fire as we sailed into hell
I have no fear of death it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the sea
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return safe home again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dell
For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly
(Roger
Whittaker)
The stars are shining
in the East Texas air
Another 15 minutes and I'm gonna be there
It's been a long drive
But everything is going all right
I'm on the Gladwater Highway
Going juke joint jumping tonight
The juke joint's home where I learned how to sing
Where they honky tonk all night
And Hank Williams is king
We're gonna do a little dancing
Keep at it 'till broad daylight
It's a hip trip baby and all the cats are cool
It's the real thing and it sure is a welcome sight
I'm going joint jumping tonight
(Wayne Hancock)
What good are words I say to you?
They can't convey to you what's in my heart
If you could hear instead
The things I've left unsaid
Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
So lucky to be
The one you run to see
In the evening, when the day is through
I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You've kept my love so young, so new
And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
So lucky to be loving you
(Sammy Cahn)
Jean, Jean, roses are red
All the leaves have gone green
And the clouds are so low
You can touch them and so
Come out to the meadow Jean
Jean, Jean, you’re so young and alive
Come out of your dream
And run if you will to the top of the hill
Open your arms bonnie Jean
‘Til the sheep in the valley come home my way
‘Til the stars fall around me and find me alone
And the sun comes a singing
Then I’ll still be waiting for you
Jean, Jean, the roses are red
All the leaves are green
While the hills are ablaze with a moon yellow haze
Come into my arms bonnie Jean
And roam if you will to the top of the hill
Come into my arms bonnie Jean
Come into my arms bonnie Jean
(music by Henry Mancini)
A pale new moon, a
sky of blue
And here am I but where are you?
A dream of love would soon come true
If I could reach the moon and you
The moon and you appear to be
So near and yet so far from me
And here am I on a night in June
Reaching for the moon and you
I wonder if we'll ever meet
My song of love is incomplete
I'm just the words looking for the tune
Reaching for the moon and you
(Irving Berlin)
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like a child sleeping
We could dream the night away
Look there’s a full moon rising
Let’s go dancing in the light
We know where the music is playing
Let’s go out and feel the night
Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dancing
Because I’m still in love with you
You and the harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
And when we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it’s getting late
And the moon is climbing high
I want to celebrate
See it shining in your eye
Because I’m still in love with you
Because I’m still in love with you
I want to see you dancing
Because I’m still in love with you
You and the harvest moon
(by Neil Young)
Yo creo que naci por un Tango. I believe I was born because of a tango.

Iglesias)
Wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Old dream maker
You heart breaker
Wherever you're going
I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting around the bend
My Huckleberry friend
Moon River and me
(Johnny Mercer)
Old flames can't hold
a candle to you.
All my friends know
the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
The low rider drives a little slower
Low rider, is a real goer
Low rider knows every street
Low rider, is the one to meet
Low rider don't use no gas now
The low rider don't drive too fast
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip with me
(War)
Earth is our mother
just turning around,
With her trees in the forest and their roots underground.
Our father above us whose sighing is the wind
Made us a rainbow with the clouds in the air.
As the river runs freely, the mountain does rise,
Let me touch my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children your love stayed around,
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home,
Like a flower that shattered the stone.
The sparrow finds freedom beholding the sun
In the infinite beauty we're all joined in one
I reach out before me and look to the sky
Did I hear someone whisper something?
Did something pass by?
As the river runs freely, the mountain does rise,
Let me touch my fingers and see with my eyes
In the hearts of the children your love stayed around,
Like a bright star in heaven that lights our way home.
(Oi
Polloi)
The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smoothes the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie
The summer knows, the summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of her arms
And if you've learned your lessons well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
(Marilyn and Alan
Bergman)
Just one more time
before we go
Embrace moi
With one more kiss
I feel a world of
love will open wide
A world to welcome
lovers
A shelter for the
rain
To hold us safe
inside
And sooth the lonely
pain
If we embrace just
one more time
Perhaps we'll stay
here
And find that love is
shining bright
All through the night
We just weren't meant
to say goodbye
But to embrace
Embrace moi encore un fois
I want to feel your
finger tips
Let us enjoy the
touch of lips
Your lips on mine
Just little sips
O kiss me now
Come to my arms
before its gone
This lovely glow
This is too near
It's much to dear to
let it go
For if we never kiss
again
We may not feel like
this again
We might regret that
we have let
All the love get away
And we may never want
to say
Enbrace moi encore fois
Embrace moi
Whenever I explore the
land of Yen
I always take one on the chin
And now this lioness has almost made me tame.
I can't pronounce her name but Eggplant is her game.
The lady sticks to me like white on rice.
She never cooks the same way twice.
Maybe it's the mushrooms. Maybe the tomatoes.
I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.
When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book.
She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look
And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.
Maybe it's the way she grates her cheese,
Or just the freckles on her knees.
Maybe it's the scallions. Maybe she's Italian.
I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.
When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book.
She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look.
And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.
(Michael Franks)
C'mon and hold me,
just like you told me
Then show me what I want to know
Why don't we steal away?
Why don't we steal away into the night?
(Robbie
Dupree)
If you're feeling
fancy free
Come wander through
the world with me
And anyplace we
chance to be
Will be our
rendezvous
Two for the road
We'll travel down the
years
Collecting precious
memories selecting souvenirs
And living life the
way we please
In summertime the sun
will shine
In winter we'll drink
summer wine
And everyday that you
are mine
Will be a lovely day
As long as love still
wears a smile
I know that we'll be
two for the road
And that's a long,
long while
(Leslie Bricusse)
Here within my lonely room, breeze blows in, I'm leaving
soon.
I wonder if she waits for me tonight?
Old time songs we used to know bring her back from long ago.
I wonder if she waits for me tonight?
I still recall our last farewell, her soft brown ringlets fell across my arm
as there I held her tight.
If an angel from the sky comes to close my weary eyes,
Then I'll know she waits for me tonight.
(Bob Nolan, Sons of the Pioneers)
Deep inside the
forest is a door into another land
Here is our life and home
We are staying
Here forever in the beauty of this place all alone
We keep on hoping
Maybe, there's a
world where we won't have to run
Maybe, there's a time
we'll call our own
Living free in harmony
and majesty
Take me home
Take me home
(Grizzly
(Give me) A kiss to build a dream on.
Hey 98.6, it's good to have you back again.
I pray that someday I
will find me a redneck girl
Yeah give me a, give
me a, give me a redneck girl
(Bellamy Brothers)
I can't dispute
you're a mighty handsome brute
You're nice, you're
cute, but
Please don't rush me
It does appear that
you're really quite sincere
So be a dear,
Please don't rush me
I love your show of
affection
But taking it easy
won't hurt you
I've heard there is a
connection
Between patience and
virtue
Be good, play fair,
This has caught me
unaware
Let's stop for air
Please don't rush me
I must admit, you're
a lad of charm and wit
This could be it
Just don't rush me
It's strange, it's
new
I'm not sure what to
do
But I'm with you, so
Don't rush me
The big flame
frequently turns out
To be the first to
grow colder
A well built fire
never burns out
So let's sit here and
smolder
