Once I laughed when I heard you saying_x000D_ That I'd be playing solitaire_x000D_ Uneasy in my easy chair_x000D_ It never entered my mind_x000D_ And once you told me I was mistaken_x000D_ _x000D_ That I'd awaken with the sun_x000D_ And ordered orange juice for one_x000D_ It never entered my mind_x000D_ You had what I lack, myself_x000D_ _x000D_ Now I even have to scratch my back myself_x000D_ Once you warned me that if you scorned me_x000D_ I'd say a lonely prayer again_x000D_ And wish that you were there again_x000D_ To get into my hair again_x000D_ It never entered my mind_x000D_ _x000D_ Once you warned me that if you scorned me_x000D_ I'd say a lonely prayer again_x000D_ And wish that you were there again_x000D_ To get into my hair again_x000D_ It never entered my mind

When you were very young_x000D_ The world was younger than you_x000D_ As merry as a carousel_x000D_ _x000D_ The circus tent was thrilling_x000D_ With every star in the sky_x000D_ Above the rings you loved so well_x000D_ _x000D_ Now the young world has grown old_x000D_ Gone is the silver and gold_x000D_ _x000D_ Sit there, and count your fingers_x000D_ What can you do?_x000D_ Old girl you're through_x000D_ Just sit there, and count your little fingers_x000D_ Unhappy little girl blue_x000D_ _x000D_ Sit there, and count the raindrops_x000D_ Falling on you_x000D_ It's time you knew_x000D_ That all you can count on are the raindrops_x000D_ That fall on little girl blue_x000D_ _x000D_ No use, old girl_x000D_ You might as well surrender_x000D_ Your hopes are getting slender_x000D_ Why won't somebody send a tender little boy_x000D_ To cheer up little girl blue?

It seems we stood and talked like this, before_x000D_ We looked at each other in the same way then_x000D_ But I can't remember where or when_x000D_ _x000D_ The clothes you're wearing are the clothes, you wore_x000D_ The smile you are smiling you were smiling then_x000D_ But I can't remember where or when_x000D_ _x000D_ Some things that happened for the first time_x000D_ Seem to be happenin' again_x000D_ And so it seems that we have met before_x000D_ And laughed before, and loved before_x000D_ But who knows where or when_x000D_ _x000D_ Some things that happened for the first time_x000D_ Seem to be happenin' again_x000D_ And so it seems that we have met before_x000D_ And laughed before, and loved before_x000D_ But who knows where or when_x000D_ _x000D_ Transcribed by Todd Peach _x000D_ When you're awake, the things you think_x000D_ Come from the dream you dream_x000D_ Thought has wings, and lots of things_x000D_ Are seldom what they seem_x000D_ Sometimes you think you've lived before_x000D_ All that you live to day_x000D_ Things you do come back to you_x000D_ As though they knew the way_x000D_ Oh the tricks your mind can play

Though I know that we meet every night_x000D_ And we couldn't have change since the last time,_x000D_ To my joy and delight,_x000D_ It's a new kind of love at first sight._x000D_ Though it's you and it's I all the time_x000D_ Every meeting's marvelous pastime._x000D_ You're increasingly sweet,_x000D_ So whenever we happened to met_x000D_ I greet you _x000D_ _x000D_ With a song in my heart_x000D_ I behold your adorable face._x000D_ Just a song at the start_x000D_ But it soon is a hymn to your grace._x000D_ When the music swells_x000D_ I'm touching you hand_x000D_ It tells that you're standing near, and _x000D_ _x000D_ At the sound of your voice_x000D_ Heaven opens his portals to me._x000D_ Can I help but rejoice_x000D_ That a song such as ours came to be?_x000D_ But I always knew_x000D_ I would live life through_x000D_ With a song in my heart for you._x000D_ _x000D_ Oh, the moon's not a moon for a night_x000D_ And these stars will not twinkle and fade out,_x000D_ And the words in my ears_x000D_ Will resound for the rest of my years._x000D_ In the morning I find with delight_x000D_ Not a note of our music is played out._x000D_ It will be just as sweet,_x000D_ And an air that I'll live to repeat:_x000D_ I greet you _x000D_ _x000D_ With a song in my heart_x000D_ I behold your adorable face._x000D_ Just a song at the start_x000D_ But it soon is a hymn to your grace._x000D_ When the music swells_x000D_ I'm touching you hand_x000D_ It tells that you're standing near, and _x000D_ _x000D_ At the sound of your voice_x000D_ Heaven opens his portals to me._x000D_ Can I help but rejoice_x000D_ That a song such as ours came to be?_x000D_ But I always knew_x000D_ I would live life through_x000D_ With a song in my heart for you.

That old black magic has me in its spell That old black magic that you weave so well Icy fingers up and down my spine The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine The same old tingle that I feel inside When that elevator starts its ride Down and down I go, 'round and 'round I go Like a leaf that's caught in the tide I should stay away, but what can I do? I hear your name, and I'm aflame Aflame with such a burning desire That only your kiss can put out the fire You are the lover that I've waited for The mate that fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Baby, down and down I go All around I go, in a spin Loving the spin that I'm in Under that old black magic called love

I Cried for You

['sadness']

Ella Fitzgerald

Come to me, my melancholy baby Cuddle up and don't be blue All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe You know, dear, that I'm in love with you Every cloud must have a silver lining Wait until the sun shines through Cuddle up, my dear While, I kiss away each tear Or else, I shall be melancholy too Every cloud must have a silver lining Wait until the sun shines through Please, cuddle up, my dear While, I kiss away each tear Or else, I shall be melancholy too

My Melancholy Baby

['sadness']

Ella Fitzgerald

When I was a young man courting the girls_x000D_ I played me a waiting game_x000D_ If a maid refused me with tossing curls_x000D_ I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls_x000D_ While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls_x000D_ And as time came around she came my way_x000D_ As time came around, she came_x000D_ _x000D_ When you meet with the young girls early in the spring_x000D_ You court them in song and rhyme_x000D_ They answer with words and a clover ring_x000D_ But if you could examine the goods they bring_x000D_ They have little to offer but the songs they sing_x000D_ And the plentiful waste of time of day_x000D_ A plentiful waste of time_x000D_ _x000D_ Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December_x000D_ But the days grow short when you reach September_x000D_ When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame_x000D_ One hasn't got time for the waiting game_x000D_ _x000D_ Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few_x000D_ September, November_x000D_ And these few precious days I'll spend with you_x000D_ These precious days I'll spend with you

September Song

Ella Fitzgerald

Who's Sorry Now?_x000D_ Who's Sorry Now?_x000D_ Who's heart is aching for breaking each vow?_x000D_ Who's sad and blue?_x000D_ Who's crying too? _x000D_ Just like I cried over you._x000D_ Right to the end, _x000D_ Just like a friend,_x000D_ I tried to warn you somehow._x000D_ You had your way,_x000D_ Now you must pay;_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

Who's Sorry Now?

['sadness']

Ella Fitzgerald

It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight_x000D_ I do pretty well till after sundown_x000D_ Supper time I'm feelin' sad_x000D_ But it really gets bad 'round midnight_x000D_ _x000D_ Memories always start 'round midnight_x000D_ Haven't got the heart to stand those memories_x000D_ When my heart is still with you_x000D_ And ol' midnight knows it too_x000D_ _x000D_ When a quarrel we had needs mending_x000D_ Does it mean that our love is ending?_x000D_ Darlin', I need you; lately I find_x000D_ You're out of my heart and I'm out of my mind_x000D_ _x000D_ Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight_x000D_ Let the angels sing for your returning_x000D_ Till our love is safe and sound_x000D_ And old midnight comes around_x000D_ _x000D_ Feelin' sad really gets bad_x000D_ 'Round, 'round, 'round midnight

'Round Midnight

['sadness']

Ella Fitzgerald

I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'_x000D_ Why mess around with strife?_x000D_ I never was cut out to step and strut out_x000D_ Give me the simple life_x000D_ _x000D_ Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant_x000D_ Those things roll off my knife_x000D_ Just serve me tomatoes and mashed potatoes_x000D_ Give me the simple life_x000D_ _x000D_ A cottage small is all I'm after_x000D_ Not one that's spacious and wide_x000D_ A home that rings with joy and laughter_x000D_ And the ones you love inside_x000D_ _x000D_ Some like the high road, I like the low road_x000D_ Free from the grief and strife_x000D_ Sounds corny and seedy, but, yes, indeedy_x000D_ Give me the simple life

Give Me the Simple Life
