1. _ Nobody
Alex rogers / bart a. williams
When life seems full of clouds and rain
And i am filled with naught but pain
Who soothe my thumping, bumping brain
Nobody
When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, "here's two bites, go and eat!"?
Nobody
You know that i ain't never done nothin' to nobody
I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time
And until i get somethin' from somebody, sometime
I don't intend to do nothin for nobody, no time

3. _ All The Way
Jimmy van heusen / sammy cahn
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure i'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way

Yesterdays
Days are new as happy sweet
Sequestered days
Olden days
Golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Them gay youth was mine
Truth was mine
Join us be in flame and live
Then sooth was mine
Sad and mired
Glad and mired
For today i'm dreamin' of
Yesterdays

5. _ Left Alone
Billie holiday / mal waldron
Where's the love that's made to fill my heart?
Where's the one from whom i'll never part?
First they hurt me, then desert me
I'm left alone, all alone
There's no house that i can call my home
There's no place from which i'll never roam
Town or city, it's a pity
I'm left alone, all alone
Seek and find they always say
But up to now it's not that way
Maybe fate has let him pass me by
Or perhaps we'll meet before i die
Hearts will open, but until then
I'm left alone, all alone

6. _ Autumn In New York
Vernon duke
It's time to end my holiday and bid the country a hasty farewell.
So on this gray and melancholy day, i'll move to a manhattan hotel.
I'll dispose of my rose-colored chattels and prepare for my share of adventures and battles,
Here on the twenty-seventh floor looking down on the city i hate and adore!
Autumn in new york, why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in new york, it spells the thrill of first-nighting.
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds in canyons of steel; they're making me feel i'm home.
It's autumn in new york that brings the promise of new love. autumn in new
York is often mingled with pain.
Dreamers with empty hands may sigh for exotic lands;
It's autumn in new york;
It's good to live again.

7. _ Come Rain Or Come Shine
Harold arlen / johnny mercer
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me it was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me cause i'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together and won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But i'm with you always, i'm with you rain or shine
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you come rain or come shine
High as a mountain deep as a river come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me it was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me cause i'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me come rain or come shine
Happy together unhappy together and won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money.
But i'll love you always, i'm with you rain or shine

8. _ Don't Worry 'bout Me
Rube bloom / ted koehler
Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along
Just you forget about me
Be happy my love
Just say that our little show is over
And so the story ends
Why not call it a day, the sensible way
And we'll remain friends
Look out for yourself
Should be the rule
Just give your heart and your love, to whom ever you love
Don't you be a fool
Baby why stop and cling, to some fading thing
That used to be
So if you can't forget
Don't you worry 'bout me

9. _ You Took Advantage Of Me
Richard rodgers / lorenz hart
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all,
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'cause you took advantage of me.
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow,
So what's the use, you've cooked my goose
'cause you took advantage of me.
I'm so hot and bothered that i don't know
My elbow from my ear.
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near.
Here i am with all my bridges burned,
Just a babe in arms where you're concerned,
So lock the doors and call me yours
'cause you took advantage of me.

10. _ Remember
Irving berlin
One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken
Remember the night
The night you said, "i love you"
Remember?
Remember you vowed
By all the stars above you
Remember?
Remember we found a lonely spot
And after i learned to care a lot
You promised that you'd forget me not
But you forgot
To remember

11. _ Blue Moon
Richard rodgers / lorenz hart
Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love on my own.
Blue moon,
You knew just what i was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Somebody i realy could care for.
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 lo longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.

12. _ Just Friends
From the day that I first met you
And you looked into my eyes
I could hardly believe
Love took me by surprise
And now that we are friends
I don`t want it to end
`cause I would rather lose your love
To be your friend
I guess I never told you
Exactly how I feel
`cause I believe if you knew
You`d probably just leave
Don`t know what i`d do
Without you
Be on my own again
Without you
Bridge:
Don`t understand it
If I could have planned it
How would it be
There`s no use pretending
Don`t want our love ending
No
The way I feel about you
I could never let you know
And all the feelings I have
I`m too afraid to let them show
So I close my eyes and count to ten
`cause I would rather lose your love
To be your friend
I`d rather lose your love to be your friend

13. _ It Had To Be You
Isham jones / gus kahn
Why do i do, just as you say
Why must i just, give you your way
Why do i sigh, why don't i try - to forget
It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "i have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn't fall - 'til we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you
Some others i've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, i love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Johnny mercer / gordon jenkins
Dear, i thought i drop a line
The weather is cool
The fooks are fine
I'm in bed each night at nine
Ps i love you
Yesterday we had some rain
But all in all i can't complain
Was it dusty on the train
Ps i love you
Write to the brown's just as soon as you're able
They came around to call
And not burn a hole in the dining room table
Now let me think; i guess that's all
Nothing else for me to say
And so i'll close, but by the way
Everybody's thinking of you
P.s. i love you

Kurt weill / ogden nash
Speak low when you speak, love
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever i go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, i wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon

17. _ When Your Lover Has Gone
Einar aaron swan
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming
That comes with each new love affair
The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish
And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea
He's watching for me
If i could fly like birds on high
Then straigt to his arms i'd go sailing
It's far beyond a star, it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again i'll go sailing
Some sailing

I can't even think of his name
But it's funny now and then
How my thoughts go flashing back again
To my old flame
My old flame
My new lovers all seem so tame
For i haven't met a gent
So innocent or elegant
As my old flame
I've met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Som who sent me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But i'll never be the same
Untill i discover what became
Of my old flame
I've met so many men
With fascinating ways
A fascinating gaze in their eyes
Som who sent me up to the skies
But their attempts at love
Were only imitations of
My old flame
I can't even think of his name
But i'll never be the same
Untill i discover what became
Of my old flame

Smash in the walls
And bust out your brains
But, baby, please don't do it in here

24. _ Preacher Boy
Jeanne burns / billie holiday
He was lanky and tall as a beanpole
And he wind fanned my heart to a flame
As he looked to the sky
And there's no wonder why
For preacher boy was his name
With his old yaller dog there beside him
And his eyes throwin' sparks in the sun
I grew faint from the heat
From my heart to my feet
When i knew preacher boy was the one
Then he didn't say much
He's the silent kind
But his arms were strong
Just the same as his mind
And my knees grew weak
As i clung to him
My preacher boy, my preacher boy
But he heard the call
Now he's left me
For his faith was stronger than i
And thought we are apart
Yet he's still in my heart
My preacher boy, my preacher boy
My wonderful preacher boy

Life is bare, gloom and mis'ry everywhere

When he went away the blues walked in and met me.
If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me.

And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your love and so is love
I guess i'll have to play pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine

All, you old-time queens, from new orleans, who lived in storyville
You sang the blues, try to amuse, here's how they pay the bill
The law step-in and call it sin to have a little fun
The police car has made a stop and storyville is done
Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
- a slo-ow train
Pick out your steamboat, pick yourself a train
- a slo-ow train
They made you close-up they'll never let you back
- won't let you back
Go buy your ticket or else you walk the track
No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
- the cold-old rain
No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
- the cold-old rain
Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill
- your one last thrill
Just say farewell now, farewell to storyville
No use complaining, blue sky's folow rain
- the cold-old rain
Just say farewell now, farewell to storyville
Just say farewell now and get your one last thrill

'cause all my luck is bad
I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to give a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess i'll go thru life kust catchin colds and missin' trains
Everything happens to me
I never miss a thing
I've had the measels and the mumps
And every time i play an ace
My partner always trumps
Guess i'm just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me
At first my heart tho't you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
But know i just can't fool this head that thinks for me
I've mortgaged all my castlesin the air
I've telegraphed and phoned
I send an 'airmail special' too
Your answer was 'goodbye'
And there was even postage due
I fell in love just once
And then it had to be with you

And with each beam, the same old dream
And every stop that we made, oh, i thought about you
When i pulled down the shade then i really felt blue
I peeked through the crack, looked at the track
The one going back to you
And what did i do? i thought about you

Lover where can you be
You came at last
Love had its day
That day is past
You've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When i remember every little thing
You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road i walk along

No wonder i am lonely

And while i'm waiting here

They say don't change the old for the new
But i've found out that this will never do
When you grow old don't last long
You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone
I loved a man for many years gone by
I thought his love for me would never die
He made some changes that would never do
From now on i'm going to make some changes too
For there's a change in the weather
There's a change in the sea
So from now on there'll be in change in me
My walk will be different, my talk and my name
Nothin' about me is going to be the same
I'm goin' to change my wayof livin'
If that ain't enough
Then i'll change the way that i strut my stuff
'cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray
There'll be some changes made today
There'll be some changes made
The say the old time things are the best
That may be very good for all the rest
But i'm goin'g let the old things be
'cause they are certainly not suited for me
There was a time when i thought that way
That's why i'm all alone here today
Since every one these days seeks something new
From now on i'm goin' to seek some new things too
For there's a change in the fashion
Ask the femine folks
Even jack benny has changed jokes
I must make some changes from old to new
I must do things just the same as others do
I'm goin' to change my long, tall daddy for a little short fat
Goin' to change the number where i live at
I must have some lovin' or i'll fade away

Come take me

How can i happy
I would be to beg or borrow
For sorrow
With you
Even though i knew
Tomorrow
You'd say we were through
If we drift apart
Then i'll be lost and alone
Though you use my heart
Just for a steppin' stone
How can i help dreaming of you
I love you
I'm yours
How can i happy
I would be to beg or borrow
For sorrow

Even though i knew

You'd say we were through
If we drift apart
Then i'll be lost and alone
Though you use my heart
Just for a steppin' stone
How can i help dreaming of you
I love you
I'm yours

43. _ Love For Sale
Cole porter
Love for sale.
Appetizing, young love for sale.
Love that's fresh and still unspoiled. love that's only slighty soiled.
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who will like to sample my supply?
Who's prepared to pay the price for a trip to paradise?
Love for sale.
Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way.
I know every type of love better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love i've been through the mid'l of love.
Old love. new love. every love, but true love.
Love for sale.
Appetizing young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares, follow me and climb the stairs.
Love for sale.

44. _ I'll Never Smile Again
Ruth lowe
I'll never smile again
Until i smile at you
I'll never laugh again
What good would it do
For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is true
I'll never love again
I'm so in love with you
I'll never thrill again
To somebody new
Within my heart
I know i will never start
To smile again
Until i smile at you
Within my heart
I know i will never start
To smile again
Until i smile at you

45. _ How Deep Is The Ocean
Irving berlin
How can i tell you what is in my heart?
How can i measure each and every part?
How can i tell you how much i love you?
How can i measure just how much i do?
How much do i love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do i think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would i travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?
And if i ever lost you
How much would i cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

46. _ Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?
Eddie delange / loise alter
Do you know what is means to miss new orleans
I miss it, each night and day
The longer i stay away
Miss the moist covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds use to sing
And i like to see the lazy mississippi
Are hurrying to spring
The mardy grass memories
Of creool tunes that fill the air
I dream of orleanders in june
And soon i'm wishing that i was there
Do you know what is means to miss new orleans
And there is something more
I miss the one i care for
More than i miss new orleans

47. _ Baby, Won't You Please Come Home
Charles warfield / clarence williams
Baby won't you please come home
'cause your daddy's all alone
I have tried in vain
Never no more to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
Because i never thought we'd part
Every hour in the day
You will hear me say:
- "baby come home"

Jack king / dorothy parker
Oh
How am i to know
If its really love
That's found its way here
Oh

Will it linger on
And leave me then
I'll dare not guess
At this strange happiness
But oh
How am i to know
Can it be that love
Has come to stay here

All through the years well stand together
Sharing the tears and stormy weather
And the sunshine will be yours and mine

50. _ Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me
Duke ellington / bob russell
Some-one told some-one and some-one told you
But they wouldn't hurt you, not much,
Since ev'ryone spread the story
With his own little personal touch.
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head.
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True i've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that i'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart reveal how i feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear it from me
And you never will.

51. _ As Time Goes By
Herman hupfeld
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say i love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and lovesongs
Never out of date
Hearts filled with passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
Though i will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Moonlight and lovesongs
Never out of date
Hearts filled with passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
Though i will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

52. _ It's Not For Me To Say
Robert allen / al stillman
It's not for me to say you love me
It's not for me to say you'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment i can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last
As far as i can see this is heaven
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say
And speaking just for me
It's ours to share
Perhaps the glow of love will grow
With every passing day
Or we may never meet again
But then, it's not for me to say

53. _ I Only Have Eyes For You
Al dubin / harry warren
My love must be a kind of blind love,
I can't see anyone but you
And dear, i wonder if you find love,
An optical illusion, too?
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright cause i only
Have eyes for you.
The moon may be high,
But i can't see a thing in the sky,
Cause i only have eyes for you.
I don't know if we're in a garden,
Or on a crowded avenue.
You are here, so am i.
Maybe millions of people go by but they all disappear from view,
And i only have eyes for you.

54. _ I'll Be Seeing You
Sammy fain / irving kahal
I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But i'll be seeing you
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But i'll be seeing you
Sometimes billie sung the next verse
------------------------------------
Cathedral bells were tolling
As our love sang on.
Was it the spell of paris,
Or just the april dawn?
Who knows if we will meet again,
Love with morning chiming sweet again

55. _ I Love My Man (billie's Blues)
Billie holiday
I love my man
On my life i say i don't
I love my man
On my life i say i don't
But i'll quit my man
On my life i say i won't
I've been your slave baby
Ever since i've been your way
I've been your slave
Ever since i've been your faith
But before i be your dog
I'll see you in your grave
My man wouldn't give me no breakfast
Wouldn't give me no dinner
Squacked about my supper
Then he put me outdoors
Heaven erred to late
A matchbox on my clothes
I didn't have so many
But i had a long long ways to go
I ain't good looking
And my hair ain't curls
I ain't good looking
And my hair ain't curls
But my mother she give me something
It's going to carry me through this world
Some man like me 'cuz i'm happy
Some 'cuz i'm snappy
Some call me honey
Others think i've got money
Some say billie
Baby you're built for speed
Now if you put that altogether
Makes me everything a good man needs

56. _ Willow Weep For Me
Ann ronell
Willow weep for me
Willow weep for me
Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me
Listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovely dreams
Lovely summer dreams
Gone and left me here
To wheep my tears along the stream
Sad as i can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind and say thay love has sinned
To leave my heart a sign
And crying alone
Murmur to the night
Hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing
Crying all alone
Wheeping willow tree
Wheeping sympathy
Bent your branches down along the ground and cover me
Listen to me plee
Hear me willow and weep for me
Willow
Willow
Wheep for me

57. _ What Shall I Say
Peter tinturin
What shall i say
When our neighbours want us to come to tea?
They don't know you're not with me
What shall i say?
What shall i say
When the phone rings and someone asks for you
They don't know i ask for you too
What shall i say?
How can i hide the tears inside
How can i face the crowd?
I can,make lips of mine be still
But my heart sighs too loud
I could explain that
You're only gone for a walk to shop
But after the week is up
What shall i say?

59. _ On The Sunny Side Of The Street
Dorothy fields / jimmy mchugh
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
To the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But now i'm not afraid
This rover crossed over
If i'd never have a cent
I'd be rich as rockefeller
Going to set my feet
On the sunny side of the street
