2. _ I Could Make You Care
I could make you care if only you'd let me,
I could make you care, you'd never forget me,
I can't resist, i'd be a fool to try,
I know if once we kissed, i could kiss my heart goodbye.
I knew this was love the moment i found you,
So i planned my life, it's built all around you,
Give me this chance, darling if you only would,
I could make you care, i know i could.

3. _ Just As Though You Were Here
<instrumental strings intro>
I'll wake each morning and i'll promise to laugh
I'll say "good morning" to your old photograph
Then i'll speak to you, dear, just as though you were here
When purple shadows start to welcome the dark
I'll take the same old stroll we took through the park
And i'll cling to you, dear, just as though you were here
But i know so well that distance and time will finally tear us apart
The farther you go, the longer you stay, the deeper the doubts in my heart
Each night before i wander off into sleep
I'll bring to light the tears i've buried so deep
Then i'll kiss you, my dear, just as though you were here
<instrumental break-horns, harp, and strings>
And when i hear a lonesome train, i'm afraid
I'll think of all those trips we never quite made
Fragile dreams that we planned
Then i'll reach for your hand
Just as though, just as though you were here

4. _ Stardust
Writer(s): hoagy carmichael
Verse:
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
Chorus:
Sometimes i wonder why 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.
Beside the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew.
Though i dream in vain, in my heart you will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.

5. _ How About You
Writer(s): b. lane/r. freed
I like new york in june, how about you?
I like a gershwin tune, how about you?
I love a fireside when a storm is due.
How about you?
I like potato chips, moonlight motor trips, how about you?
I'm mad about good books, can't get my fill
And james durante's looks give me a thrill
Holding hands in the movie show, when all the lights are low
May not be new, but i like it, how about you?

6. _ It's Always You
Writer(s): burke/van heusen
Whenever it's early twilight
I watch 'til a star breaks through
Funny, it's not a star i see
It's always you
Whenever i roam through roses
And lately i often do
Funny, it's not a rose i touch
It's always you
If a breeze, caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If i hear, a melody
It's merely the way you sigh
Wherever you are you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time i fall in love
It's always you

7. _ Dolores
Writer(s): frank loesser, louis alter
How i love the kisses of dolores
Aye-aye-aye dolores
Not marie or emily or doris
Only my dolores
>from a balcony above me
She whispers love me and throws a rose
Ah but she is twice as lovely
As the rose she throws
I would die to be with my dolores
Aye-aye-aye dolores
I was made to serenade dolores
Chorus after chorus
Just imagine eyes like moonrise
A voice like music, lips like wine
What a break if i could make dolores
Mine all mine.
I would die to be with my dolores
Aye-aye-aye dolores
I was made to serenade dolores
Chorus after chorus
Just imagine eyes like moonrise
A voice like music, lips like wine
What a break if i could make dolores
Mine all mine

8. _ This Love Of Mine
Writer(s): parker/sanicola/sinatra
This love of mine goes on and on,
Tho' life is empty since you have gone.
You're always on my mind, tho' out of sight
It's lonesome thru the day,
But oh! the night.
I cry my heart out it's bound to break,
Since nothing matters, let it break.
I ask the sun and the moon,
The stars that shine,
What's to become of it, this love of mine.

9. _ April Played A Fiddle
April played a fiddle
And my heart began to dance
And i was so surprised to find
My arms around romance.
April played a fiddle
And i memorized the tune
And later on, a dream and i
Went singing to the moon.
Then may began to gossip,
And june just winked her eye,
And you should have seen
The know-it-all expression on july.
April played a fiddle
Ah but here's the funny part,
I had to pay the fiddler
With my one and only heart.

10. _ Whispering
Whispering while you cuddle near me,
Whispering so no one can hear me,
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true, there's no one, dear, but you.
Whispering why you'll never leave me,
Whispering why you'll never grieve me,
Whisper and say that you'll believe me
Whispering that i love you.

11. _ Yours Is My Heart Alone
Yours is my heart alone
And without you, life holds no charm.
Yours every thought i own,
Our love the theme of every dream.
All that makes life seem worthwhile
Dwells in your eyes and the spell of your smile.
There is no song half so sweet to me
As your voice whispering i love you dear.

12. _ Too Romantic
I'm so afraid of night 'cause i'm too romantic.
Moonlight and stars can make such a fool of me.
You know you're much too near, and i am too romantic,
Wouldn't i be a sight on a bended knee.
I'm startled when you whisper, i'll run if you should sigh,
I must be so careful, or i'll kiss my heart goodbye.
You shouldn't let me dream 'cause i'm too romantic,
Don't make me fall unless it could all come true.

13. _ We Three, My Echo, My Shadow, And Me
We three, we're all alone, living in a memory --
My echo, my shadow and me.
We three, we're not a crowd, we're not even company --
My echo, my shadow, and me.
What good is the moonlight, the silvery moonlight
That shines above.
I walk with my shadow, i talk with my echo,
But where is the one i love?
We three, we'll wait for you, even till eternity -
My echo, my shadow and me.

14. _ A Sinner Kissed An Angel
Stars in the sky were dancing
One night perfect for romancing,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
He wanted thrills, she wanted love,
Oh but his sighs were tender
As he begged her to surrender,
The night a sinner kissed an angel,
And she believed that it was love.
How was she to know that every lovely vow
Was part of the game he was playing,
But to his surprise he realized
Somehow he meant every word he was saying.
Yes, miracles can happen,
I know 'cause i saw what happened
That night a sinner kissed an angel,
That was the night i fell in love.

15. _ Everything Happens To Me
Writer(s): dennis/adair
I make a date for golf -
You can bet you life it rains.
I try to give a party -
And the guy upstairs complains.
I guess i'll go thru life;
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains,
Ev'rything happens to me.
I never miss a thing -
I've had measles and the mumps.
And ev'ry time i play my ace -
My partner always trumps.
I guess i'm just a fool;
Who never looks before he jumps,
Ev'rything happens to me.
At first my heart tho't;
You could break this jinx for me.
That love would turn the trick;
To end my despair.
But now, i just can't fool;
This head that thinks for me.
I've mortgaged all my castles in the air.
I've telegraphed and called;
I sent "air mail special", too;
You answer was goodbye -
And there was even postage due.
I fell in love just once;
And then it had to be with you,
Ev'rything happens to me.

16. _ Violets For Your Furs
It was winter in manhattan, falling snow flakes filled the air,
The streets were covered with a film of ice,
But a little simple magic that i learned about somewhere,
Changed the weather all around, just within a thrice.
I bought you violets for your furs and it was spring for a while, remember?
I bought you violets for your furs and there was april in that december.
The snow drifted down and the flowers, and that is where it lay.
The snow looked like dew and the blossoms as on a summer day.
I bought you violets for your furs and there was blue in the wintry sky,
You pinned my violets to your furs and gave a lift to the crowds passing by,
You smiled at me so sweetly, since then one thought occurs,
That we fell in love completely, the day i bought you violets for your furs.

17. _ East Of The Sun And West Of The Moon
East of the sun and west of the moon,
We'll build a dream house so lovely
Near to the sun in a day, near to the moon at night,
We'll live in a lovely way dear
Living our love in memory
Just you and i, forever and a day,
Love will not die, we'll keep it that way,
Up among the stars we'll find
A harmony of life, too lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon, dear,
East of the sun and west of the moon.

18. _ In The Blue Of The Evening
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.

19. _ One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else, The
You know the one i love belongs to somebody else,
That's why she sings her songs to somebody else,
And even when you have your arms around her
You know her thoughts are with somebody else,
And when i hold her hand they belong to somebody else
And you can bet they're not so cold to somebody else,
It's tough to be alone on a shelf,
And it is worse to fall in love by yourself
When the one you love belongs to somebody else.

20. _ I Guess I'll Have To Dream The Rest
I guess i'll to dream the rest
If you can't remember the things that you said
The night that my shoulder held your sleepy head
If you believe that parting's best,
I guess i'll have to dream the rest.
I guess i'll have to dream alone
Of honeymoon cruises once dear to my heart,
Of one room apartments that we said we'd start
Of foolish things we planned to own,
I guess i'll have to dream alone.
I can see that your heart has gone astray,
As for me, i love you the same old way.
I guess i'll have to dream the rest,
There'll be no friends waiting to throw shoes and rice
Those heavenly moments will never come twice
I'm thankful for the hours you've blessed,
I guess i'll have to dream the rest.
