Sarah Vaughan - The Complete On Mercury Vol.2 (2000) by Sarah Vaughan (보컬) on maniadb.com

A long time ago, about a million years B.C.
The best things in life were absolutely free
But no one appreciated a sky that was always blue
And no one anticipated a moon that was always new.

So it was planned that they should vanish now and then
And you must pay before you get them back again
That's what storms were made for
And you shouldn't be afraid for

Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

So take a big deep breath of the clean fresh air
Put a smile on your face; be a millionaire
The streets outside are paved with gold
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting

Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel
I'm home

It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain

Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Autumn in New York
The gleaming rooftops at sundown
Oh, autumn in New York
It lifts you up when you run down

Yes, jaded roues and gay divorcees
Who lunch at the ritz
Will tell you that it's divine

This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Oh, autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain

Yes, lovers that bless the dark
On the benches in central park
Greet autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain

Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

There's a story told of a little Japanese.
Sitting demurely 'neath the cherry blossom trees.
Miss Butterfly's her name.
A sweet little innocent child was she
'Till a fine young American from the sea
To her garden came.

They met 'neath the cherry blossoms everyday.
And he taught her how to love the American way.
To love with her soul t'was easy to learn.
Then he sailed away with a promise to return.

Poor butterfly
'Neath the blossoms waiting.
Poor Butterfly
For she loved him so.

The moments pass into hours.
The hours pass into years.
And as she smiles through her tears,
She murmurs low:

The moon and I know that he'll be faithful
I'm sure he'll come to me by and by.
But if he won't come back then I'll never sigh or cry,
I just must die.
Poor butterfly.

All of me
Why not take all of me?
Can't you see
I'm no good without you

Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them

Your goodbye
Left me with eyes that cry
How can I
Get along without you?

You took the part
That once was my heart
So why not
Why not take all of me?

If I loved you,
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know.
If I loved you,
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
Round in circles I'd go!
Longin' to tell you,
But afraid and shy,
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!
Soon you'd leave me,
Off you would go in the mist of day,
Never, never to know how I loved you
If I loved you.

I remember other days how I used to weep
Over things you said to me; I couldn't even sleep
You forgot your promises, every single vow
All you did was laugh at me, but things are different now

I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you; what a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me

How can I forget the hours that I worried through
Wondering the live long day just what next thing to do?
In those days you never thought anything of me
But the slave that was all yours and now at last is free

I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me
Every road has a turning
That's one thing you're learning
I cried for you; what a fool I used to be
Now I found two eyes just a little bit bluer
I found a heart just a little bit truer
I cried for you; now it's your turn to cry over me

When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel

The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky, little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

Summertime
and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
and the cotton is fine
Oh your Daddy's rich
and your ma is good lookin'
So hush little baby
don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
One of these mornings
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
standin' by

The time is coming soon to say goodbye
A time of sadness it will be
But, honey, listen to my parting sigh
And linger on awhile with me

The stars above you yet linger awhile
They whisper I love you; oh, linger awhile
And when you have gone away
Every hour seems like a day
I've something to tell you
Oh, linger awhile

The stars above you yet linger awhile
They whisper I love you; oh, linger awhile
And when you have gone away
Every hour seems like a day
I've something to tell you
Oh, linger awhile

Oh, its a long, long while
from May to December,
But the days grow short
when you reach September.

When the autumn weather
turns the leaves to flame
one hasn't got time
for the waiting game.

Oh the days dwindle down
to a precious few
September
November

And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These precious days
I'll spend with you.

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
(Come on and) Dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That (Those) charm(s) about you
Will carry me through...
(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek

Dancin' in the dark till the tune ends
We're dancin' in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzin' in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by--we're here and we're gone

Lookin' for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night I have you, love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark

What though love is old
What though song is old
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine

Wailin' all the time
Dear one, tell me that we're one
Lookin' for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night I have you, love

And we can face the music together
Dancin' in the dark
Dancin' in the dark
Dancin' in the dark

Before Lord God made the sea or the land
He held all the stars in the palm of his hand
And they ran through his fingers like grains of sand
And one little star fell alone

Then the Lord God hunted through the wide night air
For the little dark star in the wind down there
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost no more

Now a man don't mind if the stars get dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him
So long as the Lord God's watching over him
Keeping track how it all goes on

But I've been walking through the night and the day
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away
Forgetting his promise and the word he'd say

And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars
Little stars big stars blowing through the night
And we're lost out here in the stars

Everything went wrong,
And the whole day long
I'd feel so blue.
For the longest while
I'd forget to smile,
Then I met you.
Now that my blue days have passed,
Now that I've found you at last -
{end intro}

I'll be loving you Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.

Always.

Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.

I'll be loving you, oh Always
With a love that's true Always.
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand,
I will understand Always.

Always.

Days may not be fair Always,
That's when I'll be there Always.
Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.

Not for just an hour,
Not for just a day,
Not for just a year,
But Always.

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star

The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day, my happy arms will hold you
And some day, I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine

The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day, my happy arms will hold you
And some day, I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine

We seem like passing strangers now
How can you hurry by?
There were never two who loved
Half as much as you and I

We seem like passing strangers now
Funny, how things can change
We were so inseparable
Now you're acting very strange

The hands I used to touch
Don't even wave hello
How I miss your lips
You'll never know

If you would only turn to me
Speak my name just once more
You might find right there and then
Strangers can be lovers again

The hands I used to touch
Don't even wave hello
How I miss your lips
You'll never know

If you would only turn to me
Speak my name just once more
You might find right there and then
Strangers can be lovers again

I don't care if there's powder on my nose
I don't care if my hair do is in place
I've lost the very meaning of repose
I never put a mud pack on my face

Oh, who'd have thought that I'd walk in a daze
Now I never go to shows at night but just to matinees
Now I see the show and home I go

Once I laughed when I heard you saying
That I'd be playing solitaire
Uneasy in my easy chair
It never entered my mind

Once you told me I was mistaken
That I'd awaken with the sun
And order orange juice for one
It never entered my mind

You have what I laughed myself
And now I even have
To scratch my back myself

Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing the maiden's prayer again
And wish that you were there again
To get into my hair again, it never entered my mind

When you shall see flowers that lie on the plain
Lying there, sighing for one touch of rain
Then you may borrow some glimpse of my sorrow
And you'll understand
How I long for the touch of your hand

I've loved you so, you'll never know
How through those far-ways
And strange star-ways
On sea or on land
I will long for the touch of your hand

Comes a rainstorm
Put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snowstorm
You can get a little heat
Comes love
Nothing can be done

Comes a fire
Then you know just what to do
Blow a tire
You can buy another shoe
Comes love
Nothing can be done

Don't try hiding
'Cause there isn't any use
You'll start sliding
When your heart turns on the juice

Comes a headache
You can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache
See your dentist right away
Comes love
Nothing can be done

Comes a heatwave
You can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons
You can hide behind the door
Comes love
Nothing can be done

Comes the measles
You can quarantine a room
Comes a mousy
You can chase it with a broom
Comes love
Nothing can be done

That's all, brother
If you ever been in love
That's all, brother
You know what I'm speaking of

Comes a nightmare
You can always stay awake
Comes depression
You may get another break
Comes love
Nothing can be done
Comes love
Nothing can be done
Comes love
Nothing can be done

Comes love
Comes love
Comes love
Comes love

I laughed at sweethearts I met at schools
All indiscreet hearts seemed romantic fools
A house in Iceland was my heart's domain
I saw your eyes; now castles rise in Spain

I took one look at you; that's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk, my lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken, I could tell you knew
That un-felt clasp of hands told me so well you knew
I never lived at all until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still

Through all my school days I hated boys
Those April Fool days brought me loveless joys
I read my Plato, Love, I thought a sin
But since your kiss, I'm reading Missus Glyn

You really shouldn't have done it
You hadn't any right
I really shouldn't have let you
Kiss me.
And although it was wrong
I never was strong.
So as long as you've begun it
And you know you shouldn't have done it.

Oh.
Do it again.
I may say no. no. no. no. no.
But do it again.
My lips just ache
To have you take the kiss
That's waiting for you
You know if you do
You won't regret it
Come and get it.

Oh.
No one is near
I may cry oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
But no one can hear.
Mamma may scold me
Coz' she told me
It was naughty but then

Please,
Do it again.
Yes do it again. And again and again and again and again and again
Turn out the light.
And hold me close
In your arms
All through the night.
I know tomorrow morning
You will say
Goodbye and Amen.

But until then
Please do it again

When the noisy town lets its windows down
Little slaves are free at night
Then we'll soon retreet from the busy street
Till the crowds are out of sight
There's a rendezvous for lovers
Where we two can play
Very near your door, In the city's core
But it seems a millions miles away

Meet me underneath our little tree in the park
No one else around, but you and me in the dark
Just five minutes from your door-step
I'll wait for your step to come along
And the city's roar becomes a song

While I'm waiting, I discover more in your charms
Suddenly I turn around and your in my arms
And if there's a moon above you
I'll carve "I Love You" upon the bark
Underneath our little tree, inside the park

We'll make ev'ry bough shake, and wonder how
Two could be so nearly one
Ev'ry blade of grass sadly sighs, "Alas!"
Grass can never have such fun
In the desert town's oasis
We'll love 'neath the tree
It can't be amiss if the birdies kiss
We're as good as birds, aren't we?

I don't know what day it is
Or if it's dark or fair
Somehow that's just the way it is
And I don't really care

I go to this or that place
I seem alive and well
My head is just a hat place
My breast an empty shell
And I've a faded dream to sell

All alone, all at sea
Why does nobody care for me?
When there's no love to hold my love
Why is my heart so frail
Like a ship without a sail?

Out on the ocean
Sailors can use a chart
I'm on the ocean
Guided by just a lonely heart

Still alone, still at sea
Still there's no one to care for me
When there's no hand to hold my hand
Life is a loveless tale
For a ship without a sail

Still alone, still at sea
Still, there's no one to care for me
When there's no hand to hold my hand
Life is a love, loveless tale
For a ship without a sail

Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home

Me say, load the banana
Boat all night long
Day de light and I wanna go home
Hey, all of you work men
Sing this song
Day de light and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o

When I get some money
Gonna quit so soon
Day de light and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home
Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home

Pack up all my things
And I go to sea
Day de light and I wanna go home

Day de light and I wanna go home

Day-o, day-o
Day de light and I wanna go home
