Nat King Cole - Songs From The Heart (2000) by Nat King Cole (보컬) on maniadb.com

Let there be you, let there be me
Let there be oysters, under the sea.....
Let there be wind, an occasional rain...
Chilli con carne, sparkling champagne.
Let there be birds, to sing in the trees
Someone to bless me, whenever I sneeze,
Let there be cuckoos, a lark and a dove....
But first of all please -- let there be love!

If they had ever told me how sweet a kiss could be
I would have said "Impossible, impossible for me"
And if they said I'd find you beyond the rainbow's end
I would have said "Impossible, impossible, my friend"

To dream about what might have been
Is strange enough for me
But now it seems I'm living in
A dream too beautiful to be

If they had said a moonbeam could calm a stormy sea
I would have said "Impossible" but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me

<instrumental interlude>

I would have said "Impossible" but now at last I see
That nothing is impossible if you are here with me

Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a thing Ever change you.
Stay as sweet as you are,
Don't let a soul Rearrange you.
Don't ever lose The charm you possess,
Your loveliness, darling, The way you say 'yes'.
Stay as sweet as you are
Discreet as you are, You're divine, dear.
Stay as grand as you are,
And as you are, Tell me that you're mine, dear.
Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar, Night and day i pray
That you'll always stay As sweet as you are.
(interlude)
Young and gay or old and gray,
Near to me or afar, Night and day i pray
That you'll always stay As sweet as you are.

Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
It takes thoughts 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 alongFly 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 meFill my heart with song
And let me sing for evermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love youFill my heart with song
And let me sing for evermore
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

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

(Jimmy Van Heusen, Johnny Burke)


Love is funny, or it's sad,
Or it's quiet, or it's mad.
It's a good thing, or it's bad,
But beautiful...


Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall, you fall,
And I'm thinking,
I wouldn't mind at all.


Love is tearful, or it's gay,
It's a problem, or it's play.
It's a heartache either way,
But beautiful...


And I'm thinking, if you were mine,
I'd never let you go.
And that would be but beautiful,
I know.


~interlude~


And I'm thinking, if you were mine,
I'd never let you go.
And that would be but beautiful,
That would be but beautiful...
I know.

(Nacio H. Brown, Gus Kahn)


You
Stepped out of a dream,
You are too wonderful
To be what you seem.


Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?


You
Stepped out of a cloud,
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd,
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart.


~interlude~


You
Stepped out of a cloud,
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd,
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart.
Out of a dream,
Safe into my heart...
Wa-dee-la-la
Out of a dream!

And then she hold my hand-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
And then I understand-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Her eyes afire
With one desire.
Then a heavenly kiss:
Could I resist?

*And then I dim the light-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
And then I hold her tight-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Her kiss, each fond caress,
They lead the way to happiness.
She takes me to paradise.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)

And when I dim the light,
Mm-mm-mm-mm, she's willing.
And when I hold her tight,
Mm-mm-mm-mm, it's thrilling.
Her kiss, each fond caress,
They lead the way to happiness.
She takes me to paradise.

The party's over
It's time to call it a day
They've burst your pretty balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
Just make your mind up the piper must be paidThe party's over
The candles flicker and dim
You danced and dreamed through the night
It seemed to be right just being with him
Now you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friend
The party's overIt's time to call it a dayNow you must wake up, all dreams must end
Take off your makeup, the party's over
It's all over, my friendIt's all over, my friend

(Frankie Laine, Fred Karger)


You're my magnificent obsession
The greatest wonder on this earth.
The Taj Mahal and other spendors
To me really have no worth.


You're my magificent possession,
A treasure lent me from above.
As long as I have breath within me,
You'll be my one and only love.


(Interlude)


You're my magificent possession,
A treasure lent me from above.
As long as I have breath within me,
You'll be my one and only love.

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 londontown
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know that 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.
~interlude~
When 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 of fred astaire,
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in berkeley square.

VERSE:
When troubles get me, cares beset me
And won't let me go,
I turn to you for consolation.
There I find new peace of mind;
To leave behind my woe
I turn to you as I shall always do.

CHORUS:
The touch of your lips upon my brow,
Your lips that are cool and sweet,
Such tenderness lies in their soft caress,
My heart forgets to beat.

*The touch of your hands upon my head,
The love in your eyes a-shine,
And now, at last, that moment divine,
The touch of your lips on mine.

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)

*The touch of your hands upon my head,
The love in your eyes a-shine,
And now, at last, that moment divine,
The touch of your lips on mine.

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 itFor 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
