Teardrops - Lee Andrews & The Hearts 1957

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERbsOcOUv_I&hd=1

I sit in my room looking out at the rain.
My tears are like crystals,
They cover my window pane.
I'm thinking of our lost romance,
And how it should have been.
(Doo-wah, doo-doo-wah, doo-doo-wah, doo-wah.)/
/Oh, if we only could start over again.

I know you never forgive me dear,
For running out on you.
I was wrong to take a chance with somebody new.
(Doo-wah, doo-doo-wah, doo-doo-wah, doo-wah.)/
/I sit in my room looking out at the rain.
My tears are like crystals,
They cover my window pane.


I know you'll never forgive me dear,
For running out on you. (Doo-doo-doom.)
Oh, how I long to do the things we used to do.
(Doo-wah, doo-doo-wah, doo-doo-wah, doo-wah.)/
/I'm lonely and I'm blue,
Yet I'll try to get along Without you-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo.

((Ahh-ahhh, ahh-ahhh.))
((Teardrops, teardrops, teardrops.))

I have to gain faith, hope and charity.
God only knows the girl who will love me-he-ee.
Oh, if we only could start over again.

When two lovers meet in Mayfair So the legands tell
Songbirds sing and winter turns to spring
Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell
I know such enchantment can be
'cause it happened one evening to me

That certain night, the night we met,
there was magic abroad in the air,
There were angels dining at the Ritz
andA Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong,
but I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn'd and smiled at me
A Nightingale Sang In Berkley 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 darn 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 Berkley Square

Our homeward step was just as light
as the tap dancing feet of Astair
And like an echo far away,
A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square
I know 'cause I was there, that night in Berkley Square

Annie Laurie - John McCormack

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pXbWRjsIrY&hd=1

Maxwelton's braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew,
'Twas there that Annie Laurie
Gi'ed me her promise true.
Gi'ed me her promise true -
Which ne'er forgot will be,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee.

Her brow is like the snaw-drift,
Her neck is like the swan,
Her face it is the fairest,
That 'er the sun shone on.
That 'er the sun shone on -
And dark blue is her e'e,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee.

Like dew on gowans lying,
Is the fa' o' her fairy feet,
And like winds, in simmer sighing,
Her voice is low and sweet.
Her voice is low and sweet -
And she's a' the world to me;
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and dee.

Vaughan Williams'  "The Roadside Fire" - Gervase Cary Elwes (1920)  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaDxkWxHq40&hd=1

The British tenor, Gervase Cary Elwes (1866.11.15   1921.1.12) sings Vaughan Williams'  "The Roadside Fire" for Columbia in 1920. This is actually a flip side of the disc set of Vaughan Williams' "On Wenlock Edge".

I will make you brooches and toys for your delight
Of bird-song at morning and star-shine at night,
I will make a palace fit for you and me
Of green days in forests, and blue days at sea.

I will make my kitchen, and you shall keep your room,
Where white flows the river and bright blows the broom;
And you shall wash your linen and keep your body white
In rainfall at morning and dewfall at night.

And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
The fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
That only I remember, that only you admire,
Of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.

Lyrics written by Gus Kahn
Music written by Matt Malneck, Fud Livingston
I have given you my true love,
But you love a new love.
What am I supposed to do now
With you now, you're through?
You'll be on your merry way
And there's only this to say:

I'm through with love
I'll never fall again.
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again.
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love.

I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there.
I have stocked my heart
with icy, frigid air.
And I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love.

Why did you lead me
to think you could care?
You didn't need me
for you had your share
of slaves around you
to hound you and swear
with deep emotion and devotion to you.

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be.
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love.

Why did you lead me
to think you could care?
You didn't need me for you had your share
of slaves around you to hound you and swear
with deep emotion and devotion to you.

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be.
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love.

Fly Me To The Moon - Patti Page

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqlI1o86B20&hd=1

Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing.
It takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing.

With music and words I've been playing
For you, I have written a song.
To be sure that you'll know what I'm saying,
I'll translate as I go along...

Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars.

In other words,
Hold my hand.
In other words,
Darling, kiss me.

Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.

In other words,
Please be true.
In other words,
I love you.

~interlude~

Fill my heart with song,
And let it sing forever more.
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.

In other words
Please be true.
In other words,
I love you.

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you

For I can't help falling in love with you

Night and you
And blue Hawaii
The night is heavenly
And you are heaven to me
Lovely you
And blue Hawaii
With all this loveliness
There should be love

Come with me
While the moon is on the sea,
The night is young
And so are we, so are we
Dreams come true
In blue Hawaii
And mine could all come true
This magic night of nights with you

I'm just a woman, a lonely woman
Waiting on the weary shore
I'm just a woman who's only human
One you should feel sorry for

It was a morning, long before dawn
Without a warning I found he was gone
How could he do it, why should he do it
He never done it before

Am I blue, am I blue
Ain't these tears in these eyes telling you
How can you ask me am I blue
Why, wouldnt you be too
If each plan with your man
Done fell through

There was a time
When I was his only one
But now I'm the sad and lonely one...lonely
Was I gay, until today
Now he's gone, and we're through
Am I blue

A Good Man Is Hard to Find - Ted Lewis 齋噏版 (1927)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBdy-cZWmug&hd=1



My heart is sad and I'm all alone
my man's treating me mean
I regret the day that I was born
And the man I ever seen

My happiness is less today
My heart is broke, that's why I say
Lord, a good man is hard to find
You always get another kind

Just when you think that he's your pal
You look and find him foolin' 'round some old gal
Then you rave, you all crave
You want to see him in his grave

So if your man is nice, take my advice;
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty lovin'; treat your good man right

Oh, a good man is so hard to find
We always get that roughed old kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You like and find him hangin' 'round some old gal

Then you rave, how you crave
You wanna see him dead layin' in his grave

So if your man is nice, take my advice
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty love madam, treat your man right

We always get that roughed old kind
Just when you think that he's your pal
You like and find him hangin' 'round some old gal

Then you rave, how you crave
You wanna see him dead layin' in his grave

So if your man is nice, take my advice
Hug him in the morning, kiss him at night
Give him plenty love madam, treat your man right
'Cause a good man nowadays sure is hard to find

Can't you hear that pitter pat and that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street

I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade
But I'm not afraid 'cause this rover, crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as rich as Rockfeller
Gold dust at my feet on the sunny side of the street

With those blues on parade
Because this rover, it crossed over

If I never had a cent I'll be as loaded as old Rockfeller
With that gold dust 'round my feet
On the sunny side of the street
On the side, at that side of the street that is sunny
