Dozens of girls would storm up
I had to lock my door
Somehow I couldn't warm up
To one before

What was it that controlled me?
What kept my love life lean?
My intuition told me
You'd come on the scene

Lady, listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat
And you'll get just what I mean
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you!
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you!

Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me!
I love all the many charms about you!
Above all I want these arms about you
Don't be a naughty baby
Come to daddy, come to daddy, do!
My sweet embraceable you!

Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me!
I love all the many charms about you!
Above all I want these arms about you
Now don't be a naughty baby,

Come to daddy, come to daddy, do!
My sweet embraceable you!

I love you
for sentimental reason
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I love you and
you alone were meant for me
Please give
your loving heart to me
And say we'll mever part
I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
whenever you're in sight
because I love you
for sentimental reason
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
whenever you're in sight
because I love you
for sentimental reason
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart
I'll give you my heart
for sentimental reason
I'll give you my heart

Once upon a time
before I took up smiling
I hated the moonlight
Shadows of the night that
poets find beguiling
Seemed flat as the noonlight
With no one to stay up for
I went to sleep at ten
Life was a bitter cup for
the saddest of all men
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You know just what
I was there for
You heard me saying
a prayer for
Someone I really could
care for
And then there suddenly
appeared before me
The only one my arms
will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper
please adore me
And when I looked the moon
had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

And then there suddenly
appeared before me
The only one my arms will
ever hold
I heard somebody whisper
please adore me
And when I looked the moon
had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Without a love of my own
Now I have a girl of my own

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day,
the dark sacred night
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow,
so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands,
sayin' How do you do
They're really saying I love you
I hear babies cryin',
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow,
so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands,
sayin' How do you do
They're really saying I love you
I hear babies cryin',
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
than I'll ever ever know
And I think to myself,
It's a wonderful world
I think to myself,
what a wonderful world

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
we're apart
You wandered 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 nights
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 the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale
tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart
it always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

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 the garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale
tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart
it always will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain

Summer journeys to Niag'ra
and to other places aggra-
vate all our cares.
We'll save our fares!
I've a cozy little flat in
what is known as old Manhattan
we'll settle down
right here in town!
We'll have Manhattan
the Bronx and Staten
Island too.
It's lovely going through
the zoo!
It's very fancy
on old Delancy
street you know.
The subway charms us so
when balmy breezes blow
to and fro.
And tell me what street
compares with Mott Street
in July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gli-ding by.
The great big city's a wonderous toy
just made for a girl and boy.
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy!
We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the whiles
And starve together dear, in Chiles
We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul
And "My Fair Lady" is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close, some day
The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattan
into an isle of joy!

Don't mind telling you, in my humble fash
That you thrill me through, with a tender pash,
When you said you care, 'magine my emoshe
I swore then and there, permanent devoshe,
You made all other men seem blah
Just you alone filled me with ahhhhhhhh......

's wonderful, 's marvellous
you should care for me!
's awful nice, 's paradise,
's what I love to see.

You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous!
Oh 's wonderful, 's marvellous,
That you should care for me!

's magnificque, 's what I seek
You should care for me.
's elegant, 's what I want,
's what I love to see.

My dear, it's four leaved clover time,
From now on my heart's working overtime,
's exceptional, 's no bagatelle,
That you should care for...
That you should care for...
That you should care for me.......

Isn't It Romantic "
Rod Stewart
( Stardust... The Great American Songbook Volume III )


(Lorenz Hart & Richard Rodgers)
(feat. Dave Koz)

I've never met you, yet never doubt you
I can't forget you
I've thought you out, dear
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss
Just the thing I miss
On a night like this
If dreams are made of imagination
I'm not afraid of my own creation
With all my heart my heart is here for you to take
Why should I quake
I'm not awake

Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it romantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?

[Instrumental]

I hear the breezes playing in the trees above

Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
Isn't it romance?
Isn't it romance?

I've been around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But I can't get started with you
And at the golf course I'm under par
And in Hollywood they wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But I can't get no place with you
You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Scheme just for the sight of you Dream,
Both Day and night of you
But what good does it do
In nineteen ninety-nine, I sold short
In England, I'm presented at court
Yeah you've got me so down-hearted
'Cause I'll never get started with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Dream, both day and night of you
But what, what good does it do
I've been consulted by Hilary C.
And Tina Turner had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Cause I can't get started with you
Yeah, I'm broken hearted
Cause I can't get started with you

Old Man Sunshine, listen, you,
Never tell me dreams come true,
Just try it, and I'll start a riot,
Oprah Winfrey don't you dare,
Ever tell me she will care,
I'm certain, it's the final curtain
I never want to hear
from any cheerful Pollyannas,
Who tell you fate supplies a mate,
it's all bananas
They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play
Could guarantee
I was a fool to fall
And get that way
Hi ho Alas
And also, lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess
She's not for me

It all began so well
But what an end
This is the time
A fellow needs a friend
The climax of the plot
Should be a marriage knot
But there's
No knot for me
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of her kiss
I guess
She's not for me

Well honeybunch
it's been fun
but gotta run
oh sweetlips
stay a little while longer won't you
no it's very late baby
I really got to go
but look at the weather
you'll catch cold out there
and I would never forgive myself
oh you
come on just one more night cap
no I shouldn't
come on
(Sing)
No well
I really can't stay
but baby it's cold outside
I got to go away
but baby it's cold outside
this evening has been
and hoping that you drop in
so very nice
I'll hold your hands
there just like ice
my mother will start to worry
Beautiful what's your hurry
and father will be pacing the floor
listen to the fireplace roar
so really I better scurry
beautiful please don't go
well maybe just a half drink more
put some records on while I pour
the neighbors might think
but baby it's bad out there
say, what's in this drink
no cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
your eyes are like stars tonight
to break this spell
I'll take your hat
your hair looks swell
I oughta say no no no sir
mind if I move in closer
at least I'm gonna say that I tried
what's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
baby don't hold on
ah but it's cold outside
(Talk)
well I must say
this couch is very comfortable
it's not a couch puddin' pop
it's a love seat
oh how you talk
oh Barry
I simply must go
(Sing)
but baby it's cold outside
the answer is no
but baby it's cold outside
the welcome has been
how lucky that you dropped in
so nice and warm
look out the window
at that storm
my sister will be suspicious
gosh your lips look good
my brother will be there at the door
like waves upon a tropical storm
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
gosh your lips are delicious
well maybe just a cigarrette more
never said your blues will be for
I've got to get home
but baby you'll freeze out there
say darling can you lend me your comb
it's up to your knees out there
you really been grand
I thrill when you touch my hand
but don't you see
how can you do this thing to me
there's bound to be talk tomorrow
think of my life long sorrow
at least there will be plenty in life
if you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
get over that hold out
ah but it's cold outside
(Talk)
Well I don't know
I don't got to go home
Hey look it's starting to snow
oh you arranged that didn't you?
see now you gotta stay
well, I guess I won't be able to find a cab
no cabs
and the buses they never run
they'll never run in snow like this
let me take your coat
well tomorrow is Sunday isn't it?
and I don't have to go to work
see isn't that better
and who knows how long it will keep snowing
it can snow for a long time, Kate
what are you doing?
well now yeah

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you

Night and day, day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you

Night and day, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you

Night and day, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day
I think of you
Night and day, and day

When two lovers meet in Mayfair, so the legends tell,
Songbirds sing; winter turns to spring.
Every winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell.
I know such enchantment can be, 'cos 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,
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 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 Berkeley Square

When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendezvous,
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 tap-dancing feet of Astaire
And, like an echo far away,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

I know 'cos I was there,
That night in Berkeley Square.
