Thats All There Is To That

(clyde otis, kelly owens)
Did you ever
Watch the one you love
Slowly drifting away from you,
And you know
Deep in your heart
There is nothing that you can do
To make her stay (to make her stay),
To turn the tide (to turn the tide),
To ease the pain (to ease the pain)
That you feel down inside?
When her eyes
Say its over and done,
Then you simply must face the fact.
So you leave and think it over,
But you come hurrying back
Hoping shell change her mind,
Praying shell take you back.
But like the lady said,
Thats all there is to that.

Stardust

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that were apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms

This Cant Be Love

As recorded by nat king cole, who didnt make the top 100
Words by lorenz hart and music by richard rogers and sung in the broadway
Musical the boys from syracuse by eddie albert and marcy westcott
A # 6 hit for horace heidt in 1938
A # 2 hit for benny goodman in 1939
This cant be love, because I feel so well,
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs.
This cant be love; I get no dizzy spells,
My head is not in the skies.
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.
This cant be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
(instrumental interlude)
My heart does not stand still, just hear it beat.
This is too sweet to be love.
This cant be love, because I feel so well,
But still I love to look in your eyes.
Still I love to look in your eyes.

The Ruby And The Pearl

Can love be as warm as the ruby,
Can love be as pure as the pearl?
Just look in the heart of my love for you.
You'll find the ruby and the pearl.
My love will endure as the diamond;
And shine with the shimmer of gold.
It glows like a bright star above for you,
A thing of beauty to behold.
(Bridge:)
Come close and cling to my kiss;
Come close and share the passion of this.
Yes, love is as warm as the ruby
And love is as pure as the pearl.
Just look in the heart of my love for you.
You'll find the ruby and the pearl.
(Return to bridge:)
Come close and cling to my kiss;
Come close and share the passion of this.
Yes, love is as warm as the ruby
And love is as pure as the pearl.

When Sunny Gets Blue

WHEN SUNNY GETS BLUE
When Sunny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy,
Then the rain begins to fall, pitter-patter, pitter-patter,
Love is gone, what can matter,
No sweet lover man comes to call.
When Sunny gets blue, she breaths a sigh of sadness,
Like the wind that stirs the trees,
Wind that sets the leaves to swaying
Like some violin is playing strange and haunting melodies.
Bridge:
*People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile,
That's how she got her name.
Since that sad affair, she lost her smile, changed her style,
Somehow she's not the same.
When Sunny gets blue, pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through,
Hurry new love, hurry here, to kiss away each lonely tear,
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.
(Instrumental interlude and pick up at Bridge*.)

Come To Baby, Do

(james, miller)
I took a choo-choo-choo-choo fast as I could take a choo-choo,
Ive come a long-long-long-long way to take you in my arms.
And now its your first move to prove that youve been true,
Come to baby, do.
Ive been away-way-way-way-way beyond the blue horizon,
I hope that no-no-no-no-no one else is on your mind.
So pucker up, my sweet, and meet your waterloo,
Come to baby, do.
Stop me from guessing,
Taint no time to tease.
Stop all your messin,
And put your beggin baby at ease.
I wanna love-love-love you just the way I wanna love you,
Im gonna try-try-try to try to make you understand.
When all is said and done, the one for me is you.
Come to baby, do.
~interlude~
Come to baby, do.
Ive come a long, long way to kiss ya

A Blossom Fell

-artist: nat king cole
-peak billboard position # 2 in 1955
-words and music by howard barnes, harold cornelius, and dominic john
A blossom fell from off a tree
It settled softly on the lips you turned to me
The gypsies say and I know why
A falling blossom only touches lips that lie
A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied

A blossom fell and very soon
I saw you kissing someone new beneath the moon
I thought you loved me, you said you loved me
We planned together to dream forever
The dream has ended, for true love died
The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied

No, I Dont Want Her

(joe bailey)
No-o-o, I dont want her,
So Ill forget her.
Forget the love she gave me,
Somehow.
Ive learned my lesson,
Dont have to tell me.
cause Im gonna start forgettin,
Yes, Im gonna start forgettin
Right now.
Go on, take my share,
cause I dont want her.
And now, shes gone, good riddance, goodbye.
But what my friends dont know
Is that I love her so.
And in my lonely room all day,
I cry.
Go-o on and take her,
cause I dont want her.
I know Ill find another,
