Mmm. Mmm.

Memories, light the corners of my mind

Misty watercolor memories of the way we were.

Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind

smiles we give to one another

for the way we were.

Can it be that it was all so simple then

or has time rewritten every line?

If we had the chance to do it all again

tell me would we? Could we?

Memories, may be beautiful and yet

what's too painful to remember

we simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter we will remember

whenever we remember

the way we were.

------------------------

Where do I begin

To tell the story of how great a love can be

The sweet love story that is older than the sea

The simple truth about the love she brings to me

Where do I start

With her first hello

She gave new meaning to this empty world of mine

There'd never be another love, another time

She came into my life and made the living fine

She fills my heart

She fills my heart with very special things

With angels' songs , with wild imaginings

She fills my soul with so much love

That anywhere I go I'm never lonely

With her around, who could be lonely

I reach for her hand-it's always there

How long does it last

Can love be measured by the hours in a day

I have no answers now but this much I can say

I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away

And she'll be there

How long does it last

Can love be measured by the hours in a day

I have no answers now but this much I can say

I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away

And she'll be there

You're the top! You're the coliseum! You're the top! You're the Louvre Museum!

You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss,

You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet, you're Mickey Mouse.

You're the Nile, you're the Tower of Pisa, you're the smile on the Mona Lisa;

I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,

But if baby, I'm the bottom, you're the top!

Another version, is a joyous delightful duet with Kate Smith(?)

(from the CD Suddenly It's Spring)

[You're the top! You're the coliseum! You're the top! You're the Louvre Museum!]

You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss,

You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet, [you're Mickey Mouse!]

[You're the Nile, you're the Tower of Pisa], you're the smile on the Mona Lisa;

[I'm a worthless check], a total wreck, [a flop],

[You're the top! You're Mahatma Gandhi!]

You're the top! You're Napoleon Brandy!

[You're the purple light of a summer night in Spain!]

[You're the National Gallery, you're Crosby's salary!]

You're cellophane! You're sublime, you're a turkey dinner!

[You're the time of the Derby winner!]

I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop!

[But if baby, I'm the bottom] no, if baby, I'm the bottom,

That certain night, the night we met

There was magic abroad in the air

There were angels dining at the ritz

And a nightingale sang in Berkley Square

I may be right, I may be wrong,

But I'm perfectly willing to swear,

That when you turned and smiled at me,

A nightingale sang in Berkley Square.

The moon that lingered over London town,

Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown

How could he know we two were so in love,

The whole darn world seemed upside down.

The streets of town were paved with stars,

It was such a romantic affair.

And as we kissed and said goodnight,

A nightingale sang in Berkley Square.

Blue Moon

You saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue Moon

You know just what I was there for

You heard me saying a prayer for

Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me

The only one my arms will hold

I heard somebody whisper please adore me

And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold

Blue Moon

Now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly appeared before me

The only one my arms will ever hold

I heard somebody whisper please adore me

And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold

Blue moon

Now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Blue moon

Now I'm no longer alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

----------

The loveliness of Paris

Seems someshow sadly gay.

The glory that was Rome

Is of another day.

I've been terribly alone

And forgotten in Manhattan

I'm going home

To my city by the bay.

I left my heart

In San Francisco

High on the hill

It calls to me.

To be where little cables cars

Climb halfaway to the stars!

The morning fog may chill the air.

I don't care!

My love waits there in San Francisco

Above the blue and windy sea.

When I come home to you

San Francisco

Your golden sun will shine for me!

I left my heart

There may be trouble ahead

But while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and romance

Let's face the music and dance

Before the fiddlers have fled

Before they ask us to pay the bill, and while we still have that chance

Let's face the music and dance

Soon, we'll be without the moon

Humming a different tune - and then...

There may be teardrops to shed

So (But) while there's music and moonlight (moonlight and music) and love and romance

(Let's face the music and dance, dance)

(Let's face the music - let's here that music)

Let's face the music and dance

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Jilly loves you more than you will know

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Oh bless you please, Mrs. Robinson

Heaven holds a place for those who pray

Hey, hey, hey (hey, hey, hey; hey, hey, hey)

We'd like to know a little bit about you for our file

We'd like to help you learn to help yourself

Look around you all you see are - sympathetic eyes

Stroll around the grounds until you - feel at home

The PTA, Mrs. Robinson

Won't OK the way you do your thing

Ding, ding, ding

And you'll get yours, Mrs. Robinson

Foolin' with that young stuff like you do

Boo, hoo, hoo; woo, woo, woo

So how's your bird, Mrs. Robinson

Dandy , Mrs. Robinson you'd say

Hey, hey, hey

Well have you heard, Mrs. Robinson

Mine is fine as wine, and I should know

Ho, ho, ho

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT EXCHANGING GLANCES

WONDERING IN THE NIGHT WHAT WHERE THE CHANCES

WE BE SHARING LOVE BEFORE THE NIGHT WAS THROUGH

SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES WAS SO INVITING

SOMETHING IN YOUR SMILE WAS SO EXCITING

SOMETHING IN MY HEART TOLD ME I MUST HAVE YOU

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT TWO LONELY PEOPLE WE WERE

STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT UP TO THE MOMENT WHEN WE

SAID OUR FIRST HELLO LITTLE DID WE KNOW

LOVE WAS JUST A GLANCE AWAY ONE EMBRACING DANCE AWAY AND

EVER SINCE THAT NIGHT WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER

LOVER AT FIRST SIGHT IN LOVE FOREVER

IT TURN OUT SO RIGHT FOR STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT

Solo

LOVE WAS JUST A GLANCE A WAY A ONE EMBRACING DANCE AWAY

EVER SINCE THAT NIGHT WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER

LOVER AT FIRST SIGHT IN LOVE FOR EVER

IT TURN OUT SO RIGHT FOR STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT

-----------Original:

Have you seen the well-to-do up on Lenox Avenue

On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air

High hats and colored collars, white spats and fifteen dollars

Spending every dime for a wonderful time

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to

Why don't you go where Harlem sits

Puttin' on the ritz

Spangled gowns upon a bevy of high browns

From down the levee, all misfits

Puttin' on the ritz

That's where each and every lulubelle goes

Ev'ry Thursday evening with her swell beaus

Rubbing elbows

Come with me and we'll attend their jubilee

And see them spend their last two bits

Puttin' on the ritz

-------Revised:

Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Avenue

On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air

High hats and Arrow collars, white spats and lots of dollars

Spending every dime for a wonderful time

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to

Why don't you go where fashion sits

Puttin' on the ritz

Diff'rent types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes

And cutaway coat, perfect fits

Puttin' on the ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trouper

Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper

Super duper

Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks

Or um-ber-ellas in their mitts

Puttin' on the ritz

[alternates:]

Strolling up the avenue so happy

All dressed up just like an English chappie

Very snappy

You'll declare it's simply top-thing to be there

And hear them swapping smart tidbits

Puttin' on the ritz

Home on The Range

Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam

Where the deer and the antelope play,

Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the Range;

Where the deer and the antelope play;

Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Where the air is so pure and the zephyrs so free

And the breezes so balmy and light

That I would not exchange my home on the range

For all of the cities so bright

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

How often at night when the heavens are bright

With the light of the glittering stars

I stand there amazed and I ask as I gaze

Does their glory exceed that of ours?

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day...

I found my thrill on blueberry hill

On blueberry hill when I found you

The moon stood still on blueberry hill

And lingered until my dreams came true.

The wind in the willow played

Love's sweet melody

But all of those bows we made

Were never to be.

Though we're apart

You're part of me still

For you were my thrill

On blueberry hill.

The wind in the willow played

Love's sweet melody

But all of those vows we made

Were never to be.

Though we're apart

You're part of me still

For you were my thrill

On blueberry hill...

I've got spurs that

Jingle, jangel, jingle

As I go riding merrily along.

And they sing, 'Oh, ain't you

Glad you're single?'

And that song ain't

So very far from wrong.

Oh, Lillie Belle! Oh, Lillie Belle

Though I may have done some fooling

This is why I never fell.

And they called it puppy love

Oh I guess they'll never know

How a young heart really feels

And why I love her so

And they called it puppy love

Just because we're seventeen

Tell them all it isn't fair

To take away my only dream

I cry each night these tears for you

My tears are all in vain

Oh I'll hope and I'll pray that may be some day

You'll be back in my arms once again

Someone help me,help me please

Is the answer up above

How can I ever tell them

This is not a puppy love

Someone help me,help me please

Is the answer up above

How can I ever tell them

This is not a puppy love

Dance dance on little girl

In the arms of someone new

As you dance as you twirl

My heart dances with you

Dance dance on little girl

Tell me what I've done wrong

Why should he hold you tight

While they're playing our song

I am watching you

Oh no no it cannot be

While I'm watching you

I'm wishing, hoping it's for me

Dance dance on little girl

Tell me why did we part

Dance dance on little girl

Dance out of my heart

I am watching you

Oh no no it cannot be

While I'm watching you

I'm wishing, hoping it's for me

Dance dance on little girl

Tell me why did we part

Dance dance on little girl

Dance out of my heart

Oh look at you

There you go go go

Oh yes you know

That you're wrong wrong wrong.

Love Is A Burning Thing

I Fell For You Like A Child

Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

Back when the West was very young

There lived a man named Masterson

He wore a cane and derby hat

They called him Bat, Bat Masterson.

A man of steel the stories say

But women's eyes all glanced his way

A gambler's game he always won

They called him Bat, Bat Masterson.

The trail that he blazed is still there

No one has come since to replace his name

And those with too ready a trigger forgot to figger

On his fighting cane.

So in the legends of the West

One name stands out from all the rest

The man who had the fastest gun

They called him Bat, Bat Masterson

----------

Tell me why

I love you like I do,

Tell me who

can stop my heart

as much as you,

Tell me all your secrets, and I'll

tell you most of mine,

They say nobody's perfect, well, thats really true this time

I don't have the answers,

I don't have a plan

All I have is you,

So darling, help me understand

(What we do) - you can whisper in my ear

(Where we go) - who knows what happens after here

Let's take each other's hand as we jump

in to the Final Frontier

I'm mad about you baby,

Mad About You...

---------

Look at what's happened to me,

I can't believe it myself.

Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,

It should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,

I'm walking on air.

I never thought I could feel so free-.

Flying away on a wing and a prayer.

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me.

It's like a light of a new day-,

It came from out of the blue.

Breaking me out of the spell I was in,

Making all of my wishes come true-.

Believe it or not,

I'm walking on air.

I never thought I could feel so free-.

Flying away on a wing and a prayer.

Who could it be?

Believe it or not it's just me.

--------

Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got.

Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,

and they're always glad you came.

You wanna be where you can see,

our troubles are all the same

You wanna be where everybody knows

Your name.

You wanna go where people know,

people are all the same,

You wanna go where everybody knows

your name.
