ABC Songs and Lyrics

The Very Thought Of You

The very thought of you, and I forget to do
The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do.
I'm living in a kind of daydream.
I'm happy as a king.
And foolish though it may seem, to me, that's everything.

The mere idea of you, the longing here for you.
You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you.
I see your face in every flower,
Your eyes in stars above.
It's just the thought of you,
The very thought of you, my love.

Too Young

They try to tell us we're too young,
Too young to really be in love.
They say that love's a word,
A word we only heard,
But can't begin to know the meaning of.

And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last tho' years may go.
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all.

***************


There's A Small Hotel

There's a small hotel
With a wishing well.
I wish that we were there together.

There's a bridal suite,
One room bright and neat,
Complete for us to share together.

Looking through the window
you can see a distant steeple,
Not a sign of people.
Who wants people
When the steeple bell says
Good night, sleep well.

We'll sleep in our little shell together,
And we will thank the small hotel.

Autumn Leaves

The falling leaves-drift by my window.
The Autumn leaves-of red and gold.
I see your lips-the summer kisses,
The sun burned hands-I used to hold.

Since you went away-the days grow long,
And soon I'll hear-old winter song.
But I miss you most of all-my darling,
When Autumn leaves-start to fall.

C'est une chanson-Qui nous resemble
Toi tu m'ai mois-Et je t'ai mais
nous vi vions tous-Les deux ensemble

toiqui m'ai mais-Moi qui t'ai mais
Mais la vie sé pare-Ceux qui s'ai ment
Tout doucement-Sansfaire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable-Les pas des amants désunis.

***************


Where Or When

It seems we stood and talked like this before.
We looked at each other in the same way then,
But I can't remember where or when.

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore.
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then,
But I can't remember where or when.

Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again.
And so it seems that we have met before
and laughed before
and loved before,
But who knows where or when?

***************


In The Still Of The Night

In the still of the night
As I gaze from my window
At the moon in its flight
My thoughts all stray to you.

In the still of the night
While the world is in slumber,
Oh, the times without number,
Darling, when I say to you.

Do you love me
As I love you?
Are you my life to be,
My dream come true?

Or will this dream of mine
Fade out of sight
Like the moon
Growing dim
On the rim
Of the hill
In the chill,
Still of the Night?

My Funny Valentine

My funny Valentine,
Sweet comic Valentine,
You make me smile with your heart.

Your looks are laughable,
Unphotographable,
Yet you're my fav'rite work of art.

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
Are you smart?

But don't change your hair for me,
Not if you care for me.
Stay little Valentine,
stay.
Each day is Valentine's day.
