How Deep Is The Ocean
Irving berlin
How can I tell you what is in my heart?
How can I measure each and every part?
How can I tell you how much I love you?
How can I measure just how much I do?
How much do I love you?
Ill tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?
How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?
And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

Everybodys Laughing
Sammy lerner / ben oakland
Everybodys laughing
Yes everybodys laughing
They know that you and I are through
And everybodys laughing
I told the world you loved me
And bragged about it proudly
But since they know its over
Theyre laughing at me loudly.
People love to linger
So they can point a finger
And tear apart a gal whose heart
Was taken through the wringer
It we could start all over
The laugh might be on them
But meanwhile
Everybodys laughing
It we could start all over
The laugh might be on them
But meanwhile

Mandy Is Two
Fulton mcgrath / johnny mercer
Mandy is two
You ought to see her eyes of cornflower blue
They really look as it they actually knew
That shes a big girl now
Mandy is two
You ought to see how many things she can do
She knows her alphabet
And ties her own shoes
And no one showed her how
If you could see her majesty
With braids in her hair
Almost as though her sunday beau
Came around and brought her an orchid to wear
Mummy is blue
Because her little girl is going on three
But miss amanda shes as proud as can be
Cause shes a big girl now

The Way You Look Tonight
Dorothy fields / jerome kern
Someday when Im awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Oh, but youre lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me
But to love you
Just the way you look tonight
With each word
Your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh
That wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never never change
Keep that breathless charm

Always
Irving berlin
Ill be loving you always
With a love thats true always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand will understand
Always, always
Days may not be fair always
Thats when Ill be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but always
Ill be loving you always
With a love thats true always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand will understand
Always, always
Days may not be fair always
Thats when Ill be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day

Prelude To A Kiss
Duke ellington / irving gordon / irving mills
If you hear a song in blue like a flower crying for the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss
If you hear a song that grows from my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss
Though its just a simple melody with nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a simphony a schubert tune with a gershwin touch
Oh! how my love song gently cries for the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss.

Im A Fool To Want You
J. wolf / herron / frank sinatra
Im a fool to want you
Im a fool to want you
To want a love that cant be true
A love thats there for others too
Im a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that devil has known
Time and time again I said Id leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say
Take me back, I love you
...i need you
I know its wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I cant get along
Without you

Forget If You Can
Jack manus / k. upham / l. joy
Forget if you can
Romantic music one magical night
A corner table in dim candle light
A kiss that was heaven for two
Forget if you can
The day we hiked to where nobody knows
The swell spaghetti at tony and joes
It hasnt been fun without you
Dont you remember
All the silly things we used to do
The way we laughed
When we were photographed
As handsome hat and his ten-timing gal
Why shouldnt we play
More happy moments like we used to spend
They were so perfect
Too perfect to end
Let your heart forget it you can

Its Easy To Blame The Weather
Sammy cahn / saul chaplin
Honestly Im glad its snowing
It helps to keep our friends from knowing
When they ask me why Im sad
Its easy to blame the weather
Its funny how the blinding snow flakes
Are right in time to hide my heartache
Let them ask me why Im sad
Its easy to blame the weather
When I think of the sun
It scares me
I wonder if I will pass
And springtime, I hear
Is early this year
Theyll see through me like glass
I see no reason for this weather
So let me be the first to make up
If a reason must be had
Its easy to blame the weather

Jim
Nelson a. shawn / caesar petrillo / edward ross / milton samuels
Jim doesnt ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours
Dont know why Im so crazy for jim
Jim never tells me Im his hearts desire
I never seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years Ive wasted on him
Sometimes when I get feelin low
I say lets call it quits
Then I hang on and let him go breakin my heart in bits
Someday I know that jim will up and leave me
But even if he does you can believe me
Ill go on carrying the torch for jim
Ill go on lovin my jim
