VERSE:
The sky may be starless
The night may be moonless
But deep in my heart there's a glow
For deep in my heart
I know that you love me
You love me because you told me so
CHORUS:
Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write
*I memorize ev'ry line
I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
(Instrumental interlude and pick up from *.)
I memorize ev'ry line
I kiss the name that you sign
And, darling, then I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart
Old Father Time checked, so there'd be no doubt
Called on the north wind to come on out
Then cupped his hands so proudly to shout
La-di-da, di-da-di-dum, 'tis Autumn
The trees say they're tired, they've born too much fruit
Charmed all the wayside, there's no dispute
Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot
La-di-da, di-da-di-dum, 'tis Autumn
Then the birds got together
To chirp about the weather, mmm
After makin' their decision
In birdie-like precision
Turned about and made a bee-line to the south
My holding you close really is no crime
Ask the birds, the trees, and Old Father Time
It's just to help the mercury climb
La-di-da, di-da-di-dum, 'tis Autumn
It's just to help the mercury climb
La-di-da, di-la-di-dum, 'tis Autumn
I keep goin' back to Joe's
To that table in the corner
Sippin' wine and staring at the door
Our old waiter knows we're through
Still he sets a place for you
Everything the way it was before
I keep goin' back to Joe's
But the man who plays piano
Never plays your favorite melody
Joe keeps busy at the bar
Never asks me where you are
He was there when you walked out on me
Now I pray you'll walk back in
And you'll say what fools we've been
And we'll celebrate a happy new beginning
Chances are you'll never show
But you'll know just where to find me
Every night until it's time to close
Just in case you miss me, too
I'll be there to welcome you
That's why I keep going back...
That's why I keep goin' back...
To Joe's
Tangerine, she is all they claim
With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame
Tangerine, when she dances by, senoritas stare and caballeros sigh
And I've seen toasts to Tangerine
Raised in every bar across the Argentine
Yes, she has them all on the run, but her heart belongs to just one
Her heart belongs to Tangerine
Tangerine, she is all they say
With mascara'd eye and chapeaux by Dache.
Tangerine, with her lips of flame
If the color keeps, Louis Philippe's to blame.
And I've seen clothes on Tangerine
Where the label says "From Macy's Mezzanine".
Yes, she's got the guys in a whirl, but she's only fooling one girl
She's only fooling Tangerine!

I'd work for you, I'd slave for you
I'd be a beggar or a knave for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I'd gladly move the earth for you
To prove my love, dear, and it's worth for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
With all the words, dear, at my command
I just can't make you understand
I'll always love you, darling, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?
I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
I'll always love you, darling, come what may
My heart is yours, what more can I say?
I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you
If that isn't love, it will have to do
Until the real thing comes along
Until the real thing comes along

A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings...
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw
You conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of March that made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings
And who's to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings...
These foolish things remind me of you
The first daffodil and long excited cables
And candle lights on little corner tables
And still my heart has wings...
These foolish things remind me of you
The park at evening when the bell has sounded
The 'Ile-de-France' with all the gulls around it
The beauty that is spring's...
These foolish things remind me of you
How strange, how sweet
To find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations
Silk stockings tossed aside, dance invitations
Oh, how the ghost of you clings!
These foolish things remind me of you...
A cigarette that bares a lipstick's traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumblin'words that told you what my heart meant
A fairground's painted swings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
You came
You saw
You conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow this had to be
The winds of march that made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
First daffodils
And long excited cables
And candle lights
A little corner table
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
The park at evening
When the bell has sounded
The pier in france
With all the gulls around it
The beauty that is spring
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange
How sweet
To find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The sigh of midnight trains
At empty stations
Silk stockings thrown aside
Dance invitations
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
Gardenia perfume
Lingering on a pillow
Wild strawberries
Only seven francs a kilo
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
The smile of garbo
And the scent of roses
The waiters whistling
As the last bar closes
The song that crosby sings
These foolish things
Remind me of you
How strange
How sweet
To find you still
These things are dear to me
They seem to bring you near to me
The scent of smoldering leaves
The wail of steamers
Two lovers on the street
Who walk like dreamers
Oh how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things
Remind me of you

They say, Ruby you're like a dream
Not always what you seem
And though my heart may break when I awake
Let it be so
I only know, Ruby, it's you
They say, Ruby you're like a song
You don't know right from wrong
And in your eyes I see heart aches for me
But from the start, who stole my heart?
Ruby, it's you
I hear your voice and I must come to you
I have no choice what else can I do?
They say, Ruby you're like a flame
Into my life you came
And though I should beware
Still I don't care you thrill me so
I'm just breezin' along with the breeze
Trailing the rails, I'm a roamin' the seas
Like the birdies that sing in the trees
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please
The sky is the only roof I have over my head
And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed
I'm just goin' along as I please
Breezin' along with the breeze
The sky is the only roof I have over my head
And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed
I'm just goin' along as I please
Breezin' along with the breeze
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say Good night
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be 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
So love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
Each time I see a crowd of people
Just like a fool I stop and stare
It's really not the proper thing to do
But maybe you'll be there
I go out walking after midnight
Along the lonely thoroughfare
It's not the time or place
To look for you
But maybe you'll be there
You said your arms would always hold me
You said you lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How can it end like this
Someday if all my prayers are answered
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart
I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll
Be there
Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart
They only see the things that are in view
A cover doesn't make a book a work of art
To know its worth you've got to read it through and through
You must realize that rule also applies
To romance when you seek a mate, that's true
Beware of love at sight, take your time, make sure it's right
Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart
You must realize that rule also applies
To romance when you seek a mate, that's true
Beware of love at sight, take your time, make sure it's right
Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart
Don't let your eyes go shopping for your heart
Whether you are here or yonder,
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander,
I'm growing fonder of you
Even though your friends forsake you,
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you,
Give you the break you need
More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
You need me so
Much more than you'll ever know (ever know)
Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Loving may be all you can give
But baby I can't live without it
Oh, how I'd cry, oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said "Good-bye"

Look out where you're going
There's danger ahead
The signal is showing
A definite red
Look out what you're doing
You're caught in a pot
Whatever she is brewing
Stay out of the pot
You better get wise, here's what I advise
When she sighs for a squeeze
Freeze, blame it on the breeze
Start to sneeze, get the measles
She'll get you off balance
Then suddenly shove duck
When she throws her hook out
Don't let your heart get took out
Pick up your pack and cook out
Oh look out, look out it's love
Look out where you're rowing
Stay close to the bank
That river is flowing
Right into a tank
Look out where you ramble
You're out on the loose
You're liable to amble
Ride into a noose
You better look out or better turn about
Like a trout
At the dam, scram, take it on the lamp
It's a jam, it's a stampede
She'll talk to her lawyer, where by and where of
She'll get the marriage book out
And she'll pick the perfect look out
Her welcome mask's been shook out
Oh look out, look out for love

So I walk a little too fast, and I drive a little too fast
And I'm reckless it's true, but what else can you do
At the end of a love affair?
So I talk a little too much, and I laugh a little too much
And my voice is too loud when I'm out in a crowd
So that people are apt to stare
Do they know, do they care, that it's only
That I'm lonely, and low as can be?
And the smile on my face isn't really a smile at all
So I smoke a little too much, and I joke a little too much
And the tunes I request are not always the best
But the ones where the trumpets blare
So I go at a maddening pace, and I pretend that it's taking his place
But what else can you do at the end of a love affair?

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance
Why be afraid of it?
Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try
To make a go of it
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love
We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it
While we are young
Let's fall in love

Baby, we two can't get along
I'm never right, you're never wrong
So meet me at no special place
And I'll be there at no particular time
Baby, it just ain't common sense
Mixin' up love with arguments
So meet me at no special place
And I'll be there at no particular time
I'm all fed up on stormy weather
I'm going where it's june
Here's hopin' I see you never
'cause if I do, that will be too soon
Now that I've put my heart on ice
Missing you will seem paradise
So meet me at no special place
And I'll be there at no particular time
You'd better bring along your glasses
In case I'm hard to find
You'll wish you could see before you
As clearly as you can see behind
You can turn back in retropect
Of the times you stuck out your neck
So meet me at no special place
And I'll be there at no particular time
All we do is make up
Then quarrel all over again
But this is it ~ the breakup
From now on, you knew me when...
So meet me at no special place
And I'll be there at no particular time!

That certain night
The night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
I may be right I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley square
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole damned world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berekeley square
How strange it was
How sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
To those hazy crazy nights we met
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Ah this heart of mine
Loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
We would dance cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
The dawn came stealing up
All gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous
I still remember how you smiled and said
Was that a dream or was it true?
Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing feet of astaire
And like an echo far away
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square

ヴィクター・ヤングが書いたあまりにも有名な曲ですね。
[Verse 1]
When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
[Verse 2]
When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I'll fall in love with you

Answer me, oh, my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me, sweetheart
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won't you tell me where I've gone astray?
Please answer me, my love
If you're happier without me
I'll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know I've been true
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love
(If you're happier without me)
(I'll try not to care)
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know (you must know)I've been true (I've been true)
Won't you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love
Answer me, my love
