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...

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...

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...

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by. Sometimes I wonder, how I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody Haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was lo...

I hate to see that evening sun go down I hate to see that evening sun go down Cause my baby, he's gone left this town Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way St. Louis woman with her diamond ring Pulls that man around by her, if it wasn't for her and her That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere I got the St. Louis blues, blues as I can be That man's got a heart like a rock cast i...

Night and stars above that shine so bright The myst'ry of their fading light That shines upon our caravan Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep Across the sand so I may keep The mem'ry of our caravan This is so exciting You are so inviting Resting in my arms As I thrill to the magic charms Of you beside me here beneath the blue My dream of love is coming true Within our desert caravan
