Love For Sale

Cole porter
Love for sale.
Appetizing, young love for sale.
Love thats fresh and still unspoiled. love thats only slighty soiled.
Love for sale.
Who will buy?
Who will like to sample my supply?
Whos prepared to pay the price for a trip to paradise?
Love for sale.
Let the poets pipe of love in their childish way.
I know every type of love better far than they.
If you want the thrill of love Ive been through the midl of love.
Old love. new love. every love, but true love.
Love for sale.
Appetizing young love for sale.
If you want to buy my wares, follow me and climb the stairs.
Love for sale.

Say It Isnt So

Irving berlin
You cant stop people from talking
And theyre talking, my dear
And the things theyre saying
Fill my heart with fear
Now I could never believe them
When they say youre untrue
I know that theyre mistaken
Still I want to hear it from you
Say it isnt so, say it isnt so
Evryone is saying you dont love me
Say it isnt so
Evrywhere I go, evryone I know
Whispers that youre growing tired of me
Say it isnt so
People say that you
Found somebody new
And it wont be long before you leave me
Say it isnt true
Say that evrything is still okay

I'm Gonna Lock My Heart

Jimmy eaton / terry shand
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks you played on me
I'm gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snob the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can't get in
Park my romance right alone the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
"please don't disturb"
And if i never fall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw the key
And it i never tall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I!m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'll never fall in love again

These Foolish Things

Jack strachey / harry link / holt marvell / eric maschwitz
A cigarette that bares a lipsticks traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
Still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you.
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblinwords
That told you what my heart meant
A fair ground painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you.
You came, you saw, you conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of march that made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but whos to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

Our Love Is Here To Stay

George and ira gershwin
The more I read the papers
The less I comprehend
The world with all its capers
And how it all will end.
Nothing seems to be lasting.
But that isnt our affair;
Weve got something permanent,
I mean in the way we care.
Its very clear
Our love is here to stay;
Not for a year
But ever and a day.
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies,
And in time may go.
But, oh my dear,
Our love is here to stay;
Together were going a long, long way.
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble,

I Cover The Waterfront

Johnny w. green / edward heyman
Away from the city that hurts and knocks,
Im standing alone by the desolate docks
In the still and the chill of the night
I see the horizon the great unknown
My heart has an ache
Its as heavy as stone
With the dawn coming on, make it last
I cover the waterfront
Im watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
An Im covered
By a starlit sky above
Here am i
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh how I yearn

Says My Heart

Frank loesser / burton lane
Fall in love, tall in love
Says my heart,
Its romance, take a chance
Says my heart
But each time that Im almost in your arms
This old schoolteacher brain of mine
Keeps bringing in false alarms
Then my head rolls instead and Im wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So I kiss and run
But the moment were apart
Oh! you fool, that was love
Says my heart
Then my head rolls instead and Im wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So I kiss and run
But the moment were apart
Oh! you fool, that was love
Says my heart.

All Or Nothing At All

Jack lawrence / arthur altman
All or nothing at all
Half love never appealled to me
If your heart never could yield to me
Then Id rather have nothing at all
All or nothing at all
If its love there is no in between
Why begin, then cry for something that might have been
No, I rather have nothing at all
But, please, dont bring your lips so close to my cheek
Dont smile or Ill be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may grow dizzy and fall
And if I fell under the spell of your call
I would be caught in the undertow
So, you see, Ive got to say
No, no
All or nothing at all

Foolin Myself

Peter tinturin / jack lawrence
I try to keep you out of my heart
But somehow I find
Trying to keep you out of my heart
Im out of my mind
I tell myself Im through with you
And Ill having nothing more to do with you
I stay away, but every day
Im just foolin myself
Tell my friends that I dont care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But all know it ist so
Im just foolin myself
And evry time I pass
And see my face in a looking glass
I tip my hat and say
How do you do, you fool
Youre trowing your life away
Im acting gay
Im acting proud
