How Could You?

Al dubin / harry warren
Just when romance got a start
You decided it was time to part
How could you?
How could you?
It was on a night like this
You left me and didnt leave a kiss
How could you?
How could you?
You know that love is just like apple pie
Its either sweet or tart
You could be the apple of my eye
But you, you, you upset the apple cart
I was looking forward to
All those little things you didnt do
Howcould you,
Could you break my heart?

Dont Explain

Billie holiday / arthur herzog jr.
Hush now, dont explain
Just say youll remain
Im glad your back, dont explain
Quiet, dont explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Dont explain
You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For Im so completely yours
Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, dont matter
When youre with me, sweet
Hush now, dont explain
Youre my joy and pain
My lifes yours love
Dont explain

Remember

Irving berlin
One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken
Remember the night
The night you said, I love you
Remember?
Remember you vowed
By all the stars above you
Remember?
Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot
You promised that youd forget me not
But you forgot
To remember

As long as I have you
Oh therebe rain

Thats true
But what care i, say

Mood Indigo

Duke ellington / irving mills / albany bigard
You aint been blue
No, no, no
You aint been blue
Till youve had that mood indigo
That feelin goes stealin down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh go long, blues
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin when lights are low
Im so lonesome I could cry
cause theres nobody who cares about me
Im just a soul whos bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die

With Thee I Swing

Basil george adlam / alexander hyde / stillman
With thee I swing, baby
With thee its just not a trance
With thee I cling, baby
Whenever I get a chance
With thee I swing, baby
For thou art so entrancin
My heart goes bing, baby
Whenever we start to dance
With all the others
Im only marking time
But in your arms I melt away
Like ice cream on a summers day
Just one more thing, baby
My life wont he worthwhile
Till down the middle aisle
With thee I swing, baby

Stars Fell On Alabama

Mitchell parish / frank s. perkins
We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on alabama last night
I cant forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center just you and me
My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on alabama last night
[repeat]

Nobody

Alex rogers / bart a. williams
When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am filled with naught but pain
Who soothe my thumping, bumping brain
Nobody
When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, heres two bites, go and eat!?
Nobody
You know that I aint never done nothin to nobody
I aint never got nothin from nobody, no time
And until I get somethin from somebody, sometime
I dont intend to do nothin for nobody, no time

What Shall I Say

Peter tinturin
What shall I say
When our neighbours want us to come to tea?
They dont know youre not with me
What shall I say?
What shall I say
When the phone rings and someone asks for you
They dont know I ask for you too
What shall I say?
How can I hide the tears inside
How can I face the crowd?
I can,make lips of mine be still
But my heart sighs too loud
I could explain that
Youre only gone for a walk to shop
But after the week is up
What shall I say?

What A Little Moonlight Will Do

Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do to you
Youre in love
Your hearts fluttering all day long
You only stutter cause your poor tongue
Just will not utter the words
i love you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
Till a little moonbeam comes peepin through
Hell get bored
You cant resist him
All youll say
When you have kissed him is
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
