July Tree
True love seed in the autumn ground.
True love seed in the autumn ground.
Where will it be found?
True love deep in the winter white snow.
True love deep in the winter white snow.
How long will it take to grow?
You know true love buds in the April air.
You know true love buds in the April air.
Was there ever a bud so fair?
True love blooms for the world to see.
True love blooms for the world to see.
Blooms high upon the July tree.

Something To Live For
(1939) duke ellington, billy strayhorn
I want something to live for
Someone to make my life an adventurous dream
Oh, what wouldnt I give for
Someone whod take my life and make it seem
Gay as they say it ought to be
Why cant I have love like that brought to me?
My eye is watching the noon crowds
Searching the promenades seeking a clue
To the one who will someday be my
Something to live for
Something to live for
Something to live for

Youll Never Walk Alone
(1945) richard rodgers, oscar hammerstein ii
Original lyrics (nina has only an instrumental version)
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And dont be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And youll never walk alone
Youll never walk alone

If you knew how I missed you
You would not stay away today
Dont you know I need you
Stay here my dear with me

Together for a day a day
Together never parting
Just you just me my love

Your love is all Im living for
I love all things about you
Your heart your soul my love
I need you here beside me
Forever and a day a day
I know whatever betides me
I love you I love you I do

Satin Doll
(1953) billy strayhorn, johnny mercer, duke ellington
Cigarette holder which wigs me
Over her shoulder, she digs me.
Out cattin that satin doll.
Baby, shall we go out skippin ?
Careful, amigo, youre flippin,
Speaks latin that satin doll.
Shes nobodys fool so Im playing it cool as can be.
Ill give it a whirl but I aint for no girl catching me,
Swich-e-rooney.
Telephone numbers well you know,
Doing my rhumbas with uno
And thatn my satin doll.

The Gal From Joe's
(1939) Irving Mills, Duke Ellington
Way down at Mister Joe's Cafe
They're takin' someone far away
And if you hear a song today
It's a sad tune that you'll be playin':
She's leavin' and folks are feelin' so low
They're grievin' and they're consolin' poor Joe
Gonna miss her song
Gonna miss her smile
She'll be travlin' alone down that last long mile
They're sighin'
With all thei trouble and woes
They're Cryin' 'cause they all loved
The gal from Joe's.

Why Keep On Breaking My Heart
why keep on breaking my heart?
when it's beating for you
only you
why do you toy with my dreams
they're depending on you to come true
when you invaded my mind
you took over complete control
then i surrender to you
all my dreams, my heart and soul
please say
there's a chance some day you may feel just the way
that i do
but why keep on breaking my heart
when it's beating for you
only you
why keep on breaking my heart
when it's beating for you
only you

Dont Explain
Arthur herzog jr, billie holiday
Hush now, dont explain
Just say youll remain
Unless youre mad, dont explain
My love, dont explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Dont explain
You know that I love you
And what loving does
All my thoughts are real
For Im so completely yours
Try to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, dont matter
When youre with me, sweet
Hush now, dont explain
Youre my love and pain
My lifes your love
Dont explain

For All We Know
Coots, lewis
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before we go
Make this moment live again
We wont say goodbye
Until the last minute
Ill hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This might only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples, like the ripples in the stream
So baby, love me, love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Oh, but tomorrow
But tomorrow may never, never come
For all we know
Yes, tomorrow may never, never come
For all we know
