Little One
03:04

Little lights, little stars
Little ways to warm up my arms
Little one, say goodnight to the day that has gone
Take your time, let it lie
‘Cause you know I can’t say goodbye
Little one, little heart I know that you’re mine
You say that I’m sweet but your lips just cannot be beat
I simply don’t know why you can’t stay here with me, please try
So petit, little one
Close your eyes and let my dreams go on
Dim the lights, dim the stars
Just wrap me in your charms

Just You Just Me
02:36
|
|||
|
Just you, just me
Let's find a cozy spot
To cuddle and coo
Just us, just we
I've missed an awful lot
My trouble is you
Oh, gee!
What are your charms for?
What are my arms for?
Use your imagination!
Just you, just me
I'll tie a lover's knot
'Round wonderful you!

Find in Me
03:55
|
|||
|
The leaves curl up and brown
The birds find warmer ground
And every willow finds its pillow
Waves relinquish sound
Although the sky turned cold
And breezes followed suit
The autumn love that’s clinged to me
Will never bite the boot
I will not love again
The way I love the one who brought you back to me
I found my one to be right where I am
I said I needed time alone and time alone I took
Now look I’m happy as a clam
I couldn’t find these charms in any other arms
These arms that made me see
This woman I can be, true as I am
I knew I needed time alone
My own reform, a place called home
Inside I proudly find a way to plainly see
What I could find in me

Four or Five Times
02:26
|
|||
|
Four or five times, four or five times
It’s my delight doing things right four or five times
Now maybe I’ll sigh and maybe I’ll cry
But if I die I’m gonna try to do it four or five times
Oh four or five times, I said four or five times
Now he’s my king he makes me sing four or five times
Well I confess, he is the best
And that’s the test that kills the myth it’s four or five times
Four or five times, four or five times
You find a guy that sets the world on fire four or five times
Now maybe I’m wrong, then maybe I’m right
But right or wrong I’m gonna swing this song four or five times
I said four or five times, four or five times
It’s my delight doing things right four or five times
Now maybe I’ll sigh and maybe I’ll cry
But if I…1, 2, 3, 4
Oh four or five times

She Drinks Alone
05:16
|
|||
|
The pearls that shine are so divine, they glimmer there
Around the neck of some beautiful dame
Her name I cannot bring to mind, but lips of wine and eyes so kind
She sits and drinks alone without a care
And then a stranger passing says good morning
She won’t remember him again I’m sure
With pearls that shine and sparkling wine, she’s debonair
She’s figured out a wonderful new cure
She drinks alone
No need to share a plate of fries
Cocktails alone
No need to stare in someone’s eyes
She lets the trio play their tune
While she’s celebrating June
She drinks alone
She sits alone
No need for sweaty diner booths
Keeps to herself
No time for titillating truths
Who needs a loving man
When you’re your biggest fan
She drinks alone
Keep out of her way, she’s not up for a chatty day
She’d like a quiet evening for one
Don’t try a pick up line, she doesn’t want a valentine
But you might find her drink on your bill when she’s done
She drinks alone
Who said a woman isn’t proud
She drinks alone
She really doesn’t like a crowd
And every night till three o’clock
She stumbles home around the block
You know the woman drinks alone

Am I Blue
02:01
|
|||
|
Woke up this morning alone about dawn
Without a warning I found he was gone
How could he do it? Why should he do it?
He’d never done it before
Am I blue, am I blue
Ain’t these tears in these eyes tellin’ you
How could you ask me am I blue
Why wouldn’t you be too
If each plan with your man done fell through
There was a time when I was his only one
But now I’m the sad and lonely one, lonely
Was I gay, until today
Now he’s gone and we’re through
Am I blue

Tea for Two
03:45
|
|||
|
I’m discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling this place is a lover’s oasis
Where life’s weary chase is unknown
Far from the cry of the city
Where flowers pretty caress the streams
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in
Don’t let it abide in my dreams
Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me alone
Nobody near us, to see us or hear us
No friends or relations on weekend vacations
We won't have it known, dear, that we own a telephone, dear
Day will break and you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family, a boy for you, a girl for me
Can't you see how happy we would be?

What's New
04:28
|
|||
|
What's new?
How is the world treating you
You haven't changed a bit
You’re handsome as ever I must admit
What's new?
How did that romance come through
We haven't met since then
Gee but it's nice to see you again
What's new?
Probably I'm boring you
But seeing you is grand
And you were sweet to offer your hand
I understand
Adieu
Pardon my asking what's new
Of course you couldn't know
I haven't changed
I still love you so

It's a Good Day
03:12
|
|||
|
Yes, it's a good day for singing a song,
and it's a good day for moving along;
Yes, it's a good day, how could anything be wrong,
A good day from morning' till night
Yes, it's a good day for shining your shoes,
and it's a good day for losing the blues;
Everything to gain and nothing' to lose,
A good day from morning' till night
I said to the Sun, "Good morning sun
Rise and shine today"
You know you've gotta get going
If you're gonna make a showin'
And you you've got the right of way.
'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills;
And it's a good day for curing your ills,
So take a deep breath and throw away the pills;
'Cause it's a good day from morning' till night.

You Go To My Head
03:07
|
|||
|
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head

Living in a Dream
02:53
|
|||
|
He’s livin’ in a dream
He doesn’t seem to stray far from today
There is nothing too obscene
As we live today in so many ways
Now there are men who take a different route
Put on a tie and suit each day
But he don’t care about their wares
He simply wants to blaze the day away
He’s smokin’ in his pipe
He doesn’t call his man or make a plan
Says he’s workin’ on his craft
He doesn’t know how long this jig can last
It seems to me he’s rather stale
Unsure of what next move to make
Now that his love has gone away
He’s tryin’ to numb his blues to grey
He’s livin’ in a dream
A shadowed life he makes to mend his seems
A haunting ghost of love is he
A foggy veil to soften memories
