Hm What have you done to me I can't eat, I cannot sleep And I'm not the same anymore, no, no I don't know what to do? Cause all of me wants all of you Do I stand alone at the shore Now once I could turn away From everything I feel today But now I wanna walk through your door But I've got to know, oh, body and soul That you've got no doubt, inside and out We are whole, ho, body and soul Don't leave me out in the cold Just love me body and soul (Body and soul) Do you he...

Please forgive this platitude But I like your attitude You are just the kind I've had in mind Never could find Honey, I'm so keen on you I could come to lean on you On a random bay, give you your way Do what you say Gee, it's all fine and dandy Sugar candy, when I've got you Then I only see the sunny side Even trouble has it's funny side When you're gone, my sugar candy I get so lonesome, I get blue But when you're handy It's fine and dandy But when you're...

There's a saying old says that love is blind Still were often told, seek and ye shall find So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet Hes the big affair I cannot forget Only man I ever think of with regret I'd like to add his initial to my monogram Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb? There's a somebody I'm longing to see I hope that he turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me I'm a little ...

I'll never be the same Stars have lost their meaning for me I'll never be the same Nothing's what it once use to be And when the songbirds that sing Tell me it's spring I can't believe their song Once love was king but kings can be wrong I'll never be the same There is such an ache in my heart Never be the same since we're apart Though there's a lot that a smile may hide I know down deep inside I'll never be the same never be the same again I'll never be ...

The song a robin sings, Through years of endless springs, The murmur of a brook at evening tides. That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide. That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, My heart and I agree, Shes everything on this earth to me. That great symphonic theme, That's Stella by starlight, And not a dream, My heart and I agree, Shes everything on this earth to me.

Like someone that hasn't any country Like a stranger visiting from Mars I went around alone, just like a rolling stone Until I read a message in the stars It must have been moonglow, 'way up in the blue It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you I still hear you saying, "Dear one, hold me fast" And I start in praying, Oh Lord, please let this last We seemed to float right through the air Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'rywhere And now when there's moong...

When they begin the beguine It brings back the sound of music so tender It brings back a night of tropical splendor It brings back a memory ever green I'm with you once more under the stars And down by the shore an orchestra's playing And even the palms seem to be swaying When they begin the beguine To live it again is past all endeavor Except when that tune clutches my heart And there we are, swearing to love forever And promising never, never to part What moments divine, what raptur...

Down beside the Dardanella Bay Where oriental breezes play There lives a lonesome maid Armenian By the Dardanelles with gleaming eyes She looks across the seas and sighs And weaves her love spell so sirenian Soon I return to Turkestan I will ask for her heart and hand Oh sweet Dardanella I love your harem eyes I'm a lucky fellow To capture such a prize Oh Allah knows my love for you And he tells you to be true Dardanella oh, hear my sigh Oh, sweet Dardanella Prepare the wedding wine There&#3...

Tea For Two Tony Bennett (Irving Caesar/Vincent Youmans) 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 love 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 ...

Once upon a time Before I took up smiling I hated the moonlight! Shadows of the night That poets find beguiling Seemed flat as the moonlight With no one to stay up for I went to sleep at ten Life was a bitter cup For the saddest of all men Once upon a time My heart was just an organ My life had no mission Now that I have you To be as rich as Morgan Is my one ambition Once I awoke at seven Hating the morning light Now I awake in Heaven And all the world's all right Blue moon you saw me stan...
