(THIS IS) A LOVELY WAY TO SPEND AN EVENING

This is a lovely way to spend an evening
Can't think of anything I'd rather do
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
Can't think of anyone as lovely as you

A casual stroll through a garden
A kiss by a lazy lagoon
Catching a breath of moonlight
Humming our favorite tune

This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you

A casual stroll through a garden
A kiss by a lazy lagoon
Catching a breath of moonlight
Humming our favorite tune


This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you

A FOGGY DAY

A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't passed,
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere.

A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME

A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one
sittin' there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight

A room is a still a room, even when there's nothin'
there but gloom
But a room is not a house and a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart

Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears

Darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us
apart
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a
home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, sayin' that you're still in love
with me, yeah...

I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a
home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love
I said still in love
Still in love with you...yeah...

Are you gonna be in love with me
I want you and need to be, yeah
Still in love with me
Say you're gonna be in love with me
It's drivin' me crazy to think that my baby
Couldn't be still in love with me

Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be
Well, well, well, well
Still in love, so in love, still in love with me
Are you gonna be
Say that you're gonna be

Still in love with me, yeah...
With me, oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...
Still in love with me, yeah...yeah...

BLUE MOON

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

CARELESS HANDS

Careless Hands
Mel Torme
Music and lyrics by: Bob Hilliard and Carl Sigman

I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
I brought you joy
And girl I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change
Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
That can't hold onto love

I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
I brought you joy
And dear I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change
Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
That can't hold onto love
Careless hands that can't hold onto love
Talking 'bout those hands
That can't hold onto love
Talking 'bout those hands
That can't hold onto love

CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
Family's drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE

Missed the Saturday dance

Heard they crowded the floor

Couldn't bear it without you

Don't get around much anymore



Thought I'd visit the club

Got as far as the door

They'd have asked me about you

Don't get around much anymore



Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease

But nevertheless, why stir up memories



Been invited on dates

Might have gone but what for

Awfully different without you

Don't get around much anymore

HAPPY TOGETHER

IMAGINE ME AND YOU, I DO,
I THINK ABOUT YOU DAY AND NIGHT, IT`S ONLY RIGHT
TO THINK ABOUT THE GIRL YOU LOVE AND HOLD HER TIGHT,
SO HAPPY TOGETHER

IF I SHOULD CALL YOU UP, INVEST A DIME,
AND SAY YOU BELONG TO ME AND EASE MY MIND,
IMAGINE HOW THE WORLD WOULD BE SO VERY FINE,
SO HAPPY TOGETHER

I CAN'T SEE ME LOVIN` NOBODY BUT YOU
FOR ALL MY LIFE
WHEN YOU`RE WITH ME, BABY, THE SKIES WILL BE BLUE
FOR ALL MY LIFE

ME AND YOU AND YOU AND ME,
NO MATTER HOW THEY TOSS THE DICE, IT HAS TO BE
THE ONLY ONE FOR ME IS YOU, AND YOU FOR ME,
SO HAPPY TOGETHER, SO HAPPY TOGETHER

I CAN'T SEE ME LOVIN` NOBODY BUT YOU
FOR ALL MY LIFE
WHEN YOU`RE WITH ME, BABY, THE SKIES WILL BE BLUE
FOR ALL MY LIFE

ME AND YOU AND YOU AND ME,
NO MATTER HOW THEY TOSS THE DICE, IT HAS TO BE
THE ONLY ONE FOR ME IS YOU, AND YOU FOR ME,
SO HAPPY TOGETHER, SO HAPPY TOGETHER

BA-BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA-BA
BA-BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA-BA

ME AND YOU AND YOU AND ME,
NO MATTER HOW THEY TOSS THE DICE, IT HAS TO BE
THE ONLY ONE FOR ME IS YOU, AND YOU FOR ME,
SO HAPPY TOGETHER, SO HAPPY TOGETHER

SO HAPPY TOGETHER
HOW IS THE WEATHER
SO HAPPY TOGETHER
WE'RE HAPPY TOGETHER
SO HAPPY TOGETHER
HAPPY TOGETHER
SO HAPPY TOGETHER
SO HAPPY TOGETHER (BA-BA-BA-BA BA-BA-BA-BA)

HARLEM NOCTURNE

A nocturne for the blues played on a bro - ken heart
string
It's wailing out the news my baby is gone from me.
Dark shadows in the rain, a tel - e - phone that won't
ring
Just mem - o - ries re- main of lovers that used to be.
I miss the laughs and the fun, my spot in the sun
When I was the one one and only.
The music and lights, those wonderful nights
The morn - ing is the time we'd kiss.
The laughs and the fun, my days in the sun,
They're over and done, and I'm lonely;
Don't ask me to hide the heartbreak in - side
The gleam - ing spark is gone, the light went dark.
This nocturn for the blues took all and left me nothing
Nothing but the blues 'til baby comes back to me
