On The Sentimental Side
Johnny burke / j. monaco
If you wonder why Im near you
Even though Ive been denied
Im inclined to be a little
On the sentimental side
I suppose I should forget you
If I had an ounce of pride
But I guess I cant help being
On the sentimental side
I should act gay
Laugh it off and say, farewell
Say it just didnt wear well
But Im not that way
Im in hopes youll think it over
And perhaps be satisfied
With a simple sort of person
On the sentimental side
I should act gay
Laugh it off and say, farewell
Say it just didnt wear well

Havin Myself A Time
Leo robin / ralph rainger
Im having myself a time
I mean Im having what I want
Wanting what I have
Doing what I like
And liking what I do
And Im having myself a time
I never could save a dime
And so Im living like a lord
Acting like, a loon
Lying in the sun
And sighing in the moon
And Im having myself a lime
When I hum songs
Theyre all dumb songs
Without reason nor rhyme
But Im certainly in my prime
I friean Im happy as a bird, flying up above
Walk a little love and get a little love
And Im having myself a time

When A Woman Loves A Man
Johnny mercer / bernie hanighen / gordon jenkins
Maybe hes not much, just another man
Doing what he can
But what does she care
When a woman loves a man
Shell just string along
All through thick and thin
Till his ship comes in
Its always that way
When a woman love a man
Shell be the first one to praise him
When hes goin strong
The last one to blame him
When everythings wrong
Its such a one-sided game that they play
But women are funny that way
Tell her shes a fool
Shell say yes, I know
But I love him so
And thats how it goes

Good Morning Heartache
Irene higginbotham / ervin drake / dan fisher
Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seems you heve gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I forget you, but youre here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I stop Im saying to you
Good morning heartache whats new
Stop haunting me now
Cant shake you nohow
Just leave me alone
Ive got those monday blues
Straight to sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache

A Fine Romance
Dorothy fields / jerome kern
A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But youre as cold as yesterdays mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you wont nestle
A fine romance, you wont wrestle
I might as well play bridge
With my old maid aunt
I havent got a chance
This is a fine romance
A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, Ill take jello
Youre calmer than the seals
In the arctic ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
Ive never mussed the crease

Having Myself A Time

Lover Man
Jimmy davis / ram ramirez / james sherman
I don't know why but i'm feeling so sad
I long to try something i never had
Never had no kissin'
Oh, what i've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
The night is cold and i'm so alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me
But no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be?
I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance
Can be like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems
Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet

Laughing At Life
Nick kenney / charles f. kenney / c. todd / b. todd
Dont mind the rain drops
Wait till the rain stops
Smile through your tears, laughing at liife
No road is lonely, if you will only
Lose all your blues laughing at life
Live for tomorrow, be happy today
Laugh all your sorrows away
Start now and cheer up
The skies will clear up
Lose all your blues laughing at life
Dont mind the rain drops
Wait till the rain stops
Youll find the sun laughing at life
No road is lonely, if you will only
Smile through your tears, laugh at life
Live for tomorrow, be happy today
Laugh all your sorrows away
Start now and cheer up
The skies will clear up

Everything Happens For The Best
Billie holiday / t. smith
Always blue all in a mist
Its plain as can be
Youre so mean to me
But everything happens for the best
You always play around
Youre running my heart so deep in the ground
That o.k. everything happens for the best
I loved you so madly
Knew you would be true
Now this thing has happened dear
Its over all over because were through
So sorry dear it end this way
Since the world begin
The old folks say
Everything happens for the best
I loved you so madly
Knew you would be true
Now this thing has happened dear
Its over all over because were through

It Had To Be You
Isham jones / gus kahn
Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why dont I try - to forget
It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: I have to wait
I saw them all, just couldnt fall - til we met
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you
Some others Ive seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldnt do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you
