Laughin' At Life
Nick Kenney / Charles F. Kenney / C. Todd / B. Todd
Don't 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
Don't mind the rain drops
Wait till the rain stops
You'll 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

Youre Too Lovely To Last
Teddy mcrae / c. beal / e. fraser
Just when you are near
When I hold you fast
Then my dreams will whisper
Youre too lovely to last.
Lips are saying love
All worries have passed
And then I get that feeling
Youre too lovely to last.
Will I ever know a real love?
So I can forget you
Will I always have to still love?
What am I to do?
Soon the night is gone
Dreams are fading fast
Then I wake up knowing
Youre too lovely to last.
Will I ever know a real love?
So I can forget you
Will I always have to still love?

But Not For Me
George and ira gershwin
Theyre writing songs of love, but not for me.
A lucky stars above, but not for me.
With love to lead the way
Ive found more clouds of grey
Than any russain play could guarantee.
I was a fool to fall and get that way;
Heigh-ho! alas! and also, lack-a-day!
Although I cant dismiss the memry of his kiss, I guess hes mot for me.
Hes knocking on a door, but not for me.
Hell plan a two by four, but not for me.
I know that loves a game;
Im puzzled, just the same,
Was I the moth or flame?
Im all at sea.
It all began so well, but what an end!
This is the time a feller needs a friend,
When evry happy plot ends with the marriage knot,
And theres no knot for me.

The Masquerade Is Over
Herb magidson / allie wrubel
My blue horizon is turning gray
And my dreams are drifting away
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your love and so is love
I guess i'll have to play pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says "no, no, you're not the same"
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm affraid the masquerade is over

Deep Song
George cory / douglass cross
Lonely grief is hounding me
Like the lonely shadow hounding me
Its always there just out of sight
Like a fragling tree on a lightening night
Lonely wind cries out my name
Sad as haunted music in the rain
Its born of grief and born of woe
But I hear it call and Ive got to go
Where can I be headed for
The blues call in my north
To lick my heart once more
Love lives in a lonely land
Where theres no helping hand to understand
Why does it bring this hate to me
Why it dont matter why
I only know misery has to be part of me
Never hope to count on love
To be a partner of that heaven above
Never hope to understand

Keeps On Rainin
Spencer williams / max kortlander
One dark and stormy night
Big john was feeling blue
Aint he didnt seem right
So he didnt know just what to do
I said do please tell me
Aint you satisfied?
He looked around so pitiful
And to me he replied
Keeps on raining
Look how its raining
Daddy he cant make no time
Wind keeps blowing
Howl winds blowing
Soon Ill find
In the winter time
When it starts to snow
I know, billy
Youve got to have some dough
Keeps on raining

Do Nothin Till You Hear From Me
Duke ellington / bob russell
Some-one told some-one and some-one told you
But they wouldnt hurt you, not much,
Since evryone spread the story
With his own little personal touch.
Do nothin till you hear from me
Pay no attention to whats said
Why people tear the seam of anyones dream is over my head.
Do nothin till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others youve heard
I havent a chance
True Ive been seen with someone new
But does that mean that Im untrue?
When were apart the words in my heart reveal how I feel about you.
Some kiss may cloud my memory
And other arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin till you hear it from me
And you never will.

My Man
Channing pollock/maurice yvain / albert willemetz/jaques charles
It cost me a lot
But theres one thing that Ive got
Its my man
Its my man
Cold or wet
Tired, you bet
All of this Ill soon forget
With my man
Hes not much on looks
Hes no hero out of books
But I love him
Yes, I love him
Two or three girls
Has he
That he likes as well as me
But I love him
I dont know why I should
He isnt true
He beats me, too

Youve Changed
Bill carey / carl fischer
Ive an awfully feelling
That this thought thats been a stealin thru my brain
Is not to be ignored
But to really tell the truth
Though Im not a well known sleuth
I honestly believe that you are bored
Youve changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
Youre breaking my heart
Youve changed
Youve changed
Your kisses now are so blase
Youre bored with me in every way
I cant understand
Youve changed
Youve forgotten the words, I love you
Each memory that weve shared
You ignore every star above you

Pennies From Heaven
Arthur johnston / johnny burke
Oh every time it rains
It rains pennies from heaven
Dont you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
Youll find your fortune
Fallin all over town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
It you want the things you love
You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Dont run under a tree
Therell be pennies from heaven
For you and me
The world was bright when you loved me
Sweet was the touch of your lips
The world went dark when you left me
And then there came a total eclipse
Nobody knows how cruel fate can be
