Someday he'll come along The man I love And he'll be big and strong The man I love And when he comes my way I'll do my best to make him stay He'll look at me and smile I'll understand Then in a little while He'll take my hand And though it seems absurd I know we both won't say a word Maybe I shall meet him Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure to meet him one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day He'll build a little home That's meant for two From which I'll never roam Who would, would you And so all else above I'm dreaming of the man I love

Just Friends 02:27
Just friends, lovers no more Just friends but not like before To think of what we've been And not to kiss again Seems like pretending It isn't the ending Two friends drifting apart Two friends but one broken heart We loved, we laughed, we cried Suddenly love died The story ended But we're just friends Two friends drifting apart Two friends but one broken heart We loved, we laughed, we cried Suddenly love died The story ended But we're just friends

Corcovado 04:03
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 that looks out on Corcovado, oh 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 life was only A bitter tragic joke, have found with you, The meaning of existence, oh my love
4.
In a sentimental mood I can see the stars come through my room While your loving attitude Is like a flame that lights the gloom On the wings of every kiss Drifts a melody so strange and sweet In this sentimental bliss You make my paradise complete Rose petals seem to fall It's all I could dream to call you mine My heart's a lighter thing Since you made this night a thing divine In a sentimental mood I'm within a world so heavenly For I never dreamt that you'd be loving sentimental me

Stardust 02:45
And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody Haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall, when stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale Tells his fairytale Of paradise, where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain.

Heaven, I'm in heaven, And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven, And the cares that hang around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek Oh! I love to climb a mountain, And to reach the highest peak, But it doesn't thrill me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh! I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek, But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Dance with me I want my arm about you The charm about you Will carry me through to heaven I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me Say nighty-night and kiss me Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm alone and blue as can be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me Stars fading but I linger on dear Still craving your kiss I'm longing to linger till dawn dear Just saying this Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you But in your dreams whatever they be Dream a little dream of me

Oh, lullaby of Birdland whisper low Always here, when you sigh, Never in my woodland could there be words to reveal In a phrase how i feel. Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips When we kiss And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry That's how i'd cry in my pillow If you should tell me farewell and goodbye Lullaby of Birdland whisper low Kiss me sweet, then we'll go Flying high in Birdland, high in the sky up above All because we're in love Lullaby, lullaby Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips When we kiss And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry That's how I'd cry in my pillow If you should tell me farewell and goodbye Lullaby of Birdland whisper low Kiss me sweet, then we'll go Flying high in Birdland, high in the sky up above And it's all because we're in love

Let's get lost Lost in each other's arms Let's get lost Let them send out alarms And though they'll think us rather rude Let's tell the world we're in that crazy mood Let's defrost in a romantic mist Let's get crossed off everybody's list To celebrate this night we've found each other Let's get lost
