I Used To Be Color Blind
Strange
How a dreary world can suddenly change
To a world as bright as the evening star
Queer
What a difference when your vision is clear
And you see things as they really are
I used to be color-blind
But I met you and now I find
Theres green in the grass
Theres gold in the moon
Theres blue in the skies
That semi-circle that was always hanging about
Is not a storm cloud, its a rainbow
And you brought the colors out
Believe me its really true
Till I met you I never knew
A setting sun could paint such beautiful skies
I never knew there were such lovely colors
And the big surprise
Is the red in your cheeks

I Remember You
I remember you-ooh
Youre the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago
I remember you-ooh
Youre the one who said I love you, too
Yes, I do, didntcha know?
I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember you-ooh
I remember, too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Just like the rain out of the blue-ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of it all
Then I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember
Tell them I remember you

Remember
One little kiss, a moment of bliss, then hours of deep regret
One little smile, and after a while, a longing to forget
One little heartache left as a token
One little plaything carelessly broken
Remember the night
The night you said, I love you
Remember?
Remember you vowed
By all the stars above you
Remember?
Remember we found a lonely spot
And after I learned to care a lot
You promised that youd forget me not
But you forgot
To remember
[2]
Into my dreams you wandered it seems, and then there came a day
You loved me too, my dreams had come true, and all the world was
May
But soon the maytime turned to december

In A Mellow Tone
In a mellow tone
Feeling fancy free
And Im not alone
Ive got company
Everythings ok
The live long day
With this mellow song
I cant go wrong
In a mellow tone
Thats the way to live
If you mope and groan
Somethings gotta give
Just go your way
And laugh and play
Theres joy unknown
In a mellow tone
(scat)
In a mellow tone
(bridge)
In a mellow tone

I'll Wind (You're Blowin' Me No Good)
Blow ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
Youre blowin me no good (no good)
Go ill wind, go away
Skies are oh so gray
Around my neighborhood, and thats no good
Youre only misleadin the sunshine Im needin
Aint that a shame
Its so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere, when loves to blame
So ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today
Youre blowin me no good (no good)
Youre only misleadin the sunshine Im needin
Aint that a shame
Its so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up
From out of nowhere, when loves to blame
So ill wind, blow away
Let me rest today

Lover
Lover, when Im near you, and I hear you, speak my name
Softly, in my ear you, breathe a flame
Lover, when were dancing, keep on glancing, in my eyes
Till loves own entrancing, music dies
All of my future is in you
Your every plan I design
Promise youll always continue
To be mine
Lover, please be tender, when youre tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender, to my heart
(instrumental bridge)
Lover, its immoral, but why quarrel, with our bliss
When, two lips of coral, want to kiss
I say the devil is in you, and to resist you, I try
But if you didnt continue, I would die
Lover, please be tender, when youre tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender, to my heart

Gulf Coast Blues
I've been blue all day
My man's gone away
He left his mama cold
For another gal, I'm told
I've tried to treat him kind
I thought he would be mine
That man I hate to lose
That's why mama's got the blues
The man that I love he has left me in this town
The man I love has gone and left me in this town
And if it keeps on snowin' I will be Gulf Coast bound
Mailman passed but he didn't leave no news
The mailman's passed but he didn't leave no news
I tell the world he left me cryin' those Gulf Coast blues
These men up north honey sure do make me tired
These men up north they surely do make me tired
They've got a mouth full of gimme, and a handful of much obliged

A Tisket - A Tasket
A-tisket a-tasket
A brown-and-yellow basket
I send a letter to my mommie
On the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
Yes, on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And put it in her pocket
She was truckin' on down the avenue
Without a single thing to do
She was peck, peck, peckin' all around
When she spied it on the ground
She took it, she took it
My yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back
I think that I will die
A-tisket a-tasket
I lost my yellow basket
And if that girlie don't return it
I don't know what I'll do

Im Just A Lucky So & So
As I walk down the street
Seems everyone I meet
Gives me a friendly hello.
I guess Im just a lucky so and so
The birds in every tree
Are all so neighborly.
They sing wherever I go.
I guess Im just a lucky so and so
If you should ask me the amount
In my bank account
Id have to confess that Im slippin
But that dont worry me, confidentially
Ive got a dream thats a pippin
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to
A home where love waits, I know.
I guess Im just a lucky so and so
And when the day is through
Each night I hurry to

Who Cares?
Let it rain and thunder,
Let a million firms go under.
I am not concerned with
Stocks and bonds that Ive been burned with!
I love you and you love me
And thats how it will always be
And nothing else can ever mean a thing
Who cares what the public chatters
Loves the only thing that matters
Who cares if the sky cares to fall in the sea
Who cares what banks fail in yonkers
Long as youve got a kiss that conquers?
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
So long as I care for you
And you care for me!
Who cares how history rates me
As long as your kiss intoxicates me?
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
