Alone Together

Alone together, beyond the crowd,
Above the world, we're not too proud
To cling together.
We're strong as long as we're together.

Alone together, the blinding rain,
The starless night, were not in vain,
For we're together,
And what is there to fear together?

Our love.....is as deep as the sea,
Our love.....is as great as a love can be,
And we can weather the great unknown,
If we're alone together.

Alone together, beyond the crowd,
Above the world, we're not too proud
To cling together.
We're strong as long as we're together.


Lyric and Music by
Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz

Always

I'll be loving you,
Always,
With a love that's true,
Always.

When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand,
Always, Always.

Days may not be fair,
Always,
That's when I'll be there,
Always.

NOt for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
NOt for just a year,
But Always!

I'll be loving you,
Always,
With a love that's true,
Always.

Always in My Heart

There's no mountain top so high
That somehow love can't climb.
No, no, true love will find a way.

There's no river quite so wide
That love can't cross in time,
Please believe me when I say:

You are always in my heart,
Even tho' you're far away,
I can hear the music
Of the song of love I sang with you.

You are always in my heart,
And when skies above are gray,
I remember that you care
And, then and there, the sun breaks through.

Just before I go to sleep,
There's a rendezvous I keep,
And the dream I always meet
Helps me forget we're far apart.

I don't know exactly when, Dear,
But I'm sure we'll meet again, Dear,
And my Darling, till we do,
You are always in my heart.

You are always in my heart,
Even tho' you're far away,
I can hear the music
Of the song of love I sang with you.


(Siempre En Mi Corazon)

Always on My Mind

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have,
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have.

If I made you feel second best,
Girl, I'm sorry. I was blind.
You were always on my mind.
You were always on my mind.

And maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times,
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine.

LIttle things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time.
You were always on my mind.
You were always on my mind.

Tell me,
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died.
Give me,
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied.

I'll keep you satisfied.

Am I Blue?

Am I blue?
Am I blue?
Ain't these tears in these eyes...
Tellin' you?

Am I blue?
You'd be, too,
If each plan with your man...
Done fell through.

Was a time.....
I was his only one,
But now I'm.....
The sad and lonely one.

'Law'dy' was I gay?
'Til today,
Now he's gone, and we're through,
Am I blue?

Was a time.....
I was his only one,
But now I'm.....
The sad and lonely one.

Among My Souvenirs

There's nothing left for me,
Of days that used to be,
I live in memory,
Among my souvenirs.

Some letters tied with blue,
A photograph or two,
I see a rose from you,
Among my souvenirs.

A few more tokens rest....
Within my treasure chest,
And tho' they do their best....
To give me consolation,

I count them all apart,
And, as the teardrops start,
I find a broken heart....
Among my souvenirs.

There's nothing left for me,
Of days that used to be,
I live in memory,
Among my souvenirs.

And the Angels Sing

We meet, and the angels sing,
The angels sing the sweetest song I've ever heard.
You speak, and the angels sing,
Or am I breathing music into ev'ry word?

Suddenly, the setting is strange,
I can see water and moonlight beaming,
Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore,
Then suddenly, I see it all change,
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming,
Through it all your face that I adore.

You smile, and the angels sing,
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start,
We kiss, and the angels sing,
And leave their music ringing in my heart.


Lyric by Johnny Mercer
Music by Ziggy Elman

Angel Eyes

Try to think that love's not around,
Still it's uncomfort'bly clear,
My old heart ain't gainin' any ground,
Because my angel eyes ain't here.

Angel eyes that old devil sent,
They glow unbearably bright.
Need I say that my love is misspent,
Misspent with angel eyes tonight?

So drink up all you people,
Order anything you see.
Have fun, you happy people,
The drink and the laugh's on me.

Pardon me, but I gotta run,
The fact's uncommonly clear,
Gotta find who's now the 'Number One',
And why my angel eyes ain't here.

So drink up all you people,
Order anything you see.
Have fun, you happy people,
The drink and the laugh's on me.

'Scuse me while I disappear!


Lyric by Earl K. Brent

Annie's Song

You fill up my senses,
Like a night in the forest,
Like the mountains in Springtime,
Like a walk in the rain.

Like a storm in the desert,
Like a sleepy blue ocean,
You fill up my senses,
Come fill me again.

Come let me love you,
Let me give my life to you.
Let me drown in your laughter,
Let me die in your arms.

Let me lay down beside you,
Let me always be with you,
Come let me love you,
Come love me again.

You fill up my senses,
Like a night in the forest,
Like the mountains in Springtime,
Like a walk in the rain.

Like a storm in the desert,
Like a sleepy blue ocean,
You fill up my senses,
Come fill me again.

The Anniversary Song

Oh! How we danced
On the night we were wed.
We vowed our true love,
Though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom
There were stars in the skies,
Except for the few
That were there in your eyes.

Dear, as I held you so close in my arms,
Angels were singing a hymn to your charms.
Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low,
'My Darling, I love you so.'

The night seemed to fade
Into blossoming dawn,
The sun shone anew,
But the dance lingered on.

Could we but relive
That sweet moment sublime,
We'd find that our love
Is unaltered by time.

Any Time

Any time you're feeling lonely,
Any time you're feeling blue,
Any time you feel downhearted,
That will prove your love for me is true.

Any time you're thinking 'bout me,
That's the time I'll be thinking of you.
So any time you say you want me back again,
That's the time I'll come back home to you.

Any time you're feeling lonely,
Any time you're feeling blue,
Any time you feel downhearted,
That will prove your love for me is true.

Anywhere I Wander

Her arms were warm as they welcomed me,
Her eyes were fire bright,
And then I knew that my path must be
Through the ever haunted night.

For anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam,
Till I'm in the arms of my Darling again,
My heart will find no home,
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam.

Her voice was, oh, such a soft caress,
Of love it gently told,
And in her smile was the tenderness
I may never more behold.

But anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam,
Till I'm in the arms of my Darling again,
My heart will find no home,
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam.

Her tears were silver as morning dew,
As she bade me goodbye,
And ev'ry tear was a promise true
That her love would never die.

So anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam,
Till I'm in the arms of my Darling again,
My heart will find no home,
Anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam.

April in Paris

April in Paris,
Chestnuts in blossom,
Holiday tables,
Under the trees.

April in Paris,
This is a feeling....
No one can ever
Reprise.

I never knew the charm of Spring,
Never met it face to face.
I never knew my heart could sing,
Never missed a warm embrace.

Till April in Paris,
Whom can I run to?
What have you done to....
My heart?

April in Paris,
Chestnuts in blossom,
Holiday tables,
Under the trees.


Lyrics by E.Y. Harburg

Are You Sincere?

Are you sincere
When you say 'I love you'?
Are you sincere
When you say 'I'll be true'?

Do you mean ev'ry word
That my ears have heard?
I'd like to know which way to go.
Will our love grow? Are you sincere?

Are you sincere
When you say you miss me?
Are you sincere
Ev'ry time you kiss me?

And are you really mine?
Ev'ry day? All the time?
I'd like to know which way to go.
Will our love grow? Are you sincere?

Around the World

Around the world,
I've searched for you.
I traveled on when hope was gone
To keep a rendezvous.

I knew somewhere,
Sometime, somehow,
You'd look at me, and I would see
The smile you're smiling now.

It might have been
In County Down,
Or in New York, or Gay Paree,
Or even London Town.

No more will I
Go all around the world,
For I have found
My world in you.

Around the world,
I've searched for you.
I traveled on when hope was gone
To keep a rendezvous.


From Michael Todd’s

As Long as He Needs Me

As long as he needs me,
I know where I must be.
I'll cling on steadfastly,
As long as he needs me.

As long as life is long,
I'll love him, right or wrong,
And somehow I'll be strong,
As long as he needs me.

If you are lonely,
Then you will know,
When someone needs you,
You love them so.

I won't betray his trust,
Tho' people say I must.
I've got to stay true,
Just....
As long as he needs me.

As long as he needs me,
I know where I must be.
I'll cling on steadfastly,
As long as he needs me.


From the Motion Picture 'Oliver'

As Time Goes By

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 love songs, never out of date.
Hearts full of 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.
The world will always welcome lovers....
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs, never out of date.
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate.
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate,
That no one can deny.
