Solitude
Duke ellington / eddie delange / irving mills
In my solitude
You haunt me
With dreadful ease
Of days gone by
In my solitude
You taunt me
With memories
That never die
I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
Theres no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that Ill soon go mad
In my solitude
Im afraid
Dear lord above
Send back my love

The Moon Looks Down & Laughs
Bert kalmar / sid silvers / harry ruby
The moon looks down and laughs
And says, I told you so
Why did I let you go away
I was so sure you loved me madly
And when I wanted you
Youd gladly come back to me
I never realised the day we said goodbye
How very sorry I would be
And every night when I walk
Up and down this lonesome town
The moon looks down and laughs at me

Tenderly
Walter gross / jack lawrence
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wandering by
And lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I cant forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips, you took my love so tenderly

Sentimental & Melancholy
Johnny mercer / richard whiting
Sentimental and melancholy
Whenever i think about you
It's only a mood,
A brief interlude
That's better described as just feeling blue
I suppose that it's just my folly
To keep it alive as i do
But it's a kind of sugar coated misery
And foolish as it seems
I thought i'd like to be
Sentimental and melancholy
Whenever i think about you

Ill Be Around
Alec wilder
Ill be around no matter how you treat me now,
Ill be around from now on.
Your latest love can never last,
And when its past, Ill be around when shes gone.
Goodbye again and if you find a love like mine,
Just now and then drop a line
To say youre feeling fine.
And when things go wrong,
Perhaps youll see youre meant for me,
So, Ill be around when shes gone.

Why Did I Always Depend On You?
T. mcrea / r. smith / p. greenwood
Why did I always depend on you
When I knew that youd end
In anothers arms?
As a rule Im no fool
But it seems where loves concerned
Theres no rule for a fool
Who would let his heart be burned
And you intended to fool me too
Thats no lie
And you cant deny its true
From the start in my heart
I knew what youd do
Why did I depend on you?

For All We Know
Sam m. lewis / j. fred coots
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We wont say goodnight until the last minute
Ill hold out my hand and my heart will be in it
For all we know this may be only a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know

Somebodys On My Mind
Billie holiday / arthur herzog jr.
Somebodys on my mind
Like an old sweet song, the lasting time
Somebodys on my mind
So Im walking on clouds on a silver line
To dream my dream could be my mistake
But Id rather be wrong
And sleep right along than wake
Love may be blind Ill take my chances
That it cares this affair, my real romance
Thats why youll find somebodys on my mind

There Is No Greater Love
Isham jones / marty symes
There is no greater love
Than what I feel for you
No greater love, no heart so true
There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing to me
Youre the sweetest thing
I have ever known
And to think that you are mine alone
There is no greater love
In all the world, its true
No greater love
Than what I feel for you
