Perry Como - The Long Lost Hits Of Perry Como (2003) by Perry Como (보컬) on maniadb.com

Have I stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight, would that same light be shinin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care

Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care

Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin' ?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

Stayed away too long?

Words and Music by Frank Loesser, 1943

I love you,
Hums an April breeze,
I love you,
Echo the hills!

I love you,
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!

Its spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies!

I love you,
Thats the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me

I love you . . .
Hums an April breeze,
I love you . . .
Echo the hills!

I love you . . .
The golden dawn agrees,
As once more she sees,
Daffodils!

Its spring again,
And birds on the wing again,
Start to sing again,
The old melodies! ( mellow, melodies . . . )

I love you,
Thats the Song of Songs,
And it all belongs,
To you and me.
And it all belongs,
To you and me!

More an' more, this heart of mine confesses
More an' more, I'm caught in your caresses
Warmed by the breath of your sighs
Cooled by the blue of your eyes

More an' more, I find it more than thrilling
To share this dream that needed fulfilling
More an' more, I'm less an' less unwilling
To give up wanting more an' more of you!

More an' more, I find it more than thrilling
To share this dream that needed fulfilling
More an' more, I'm less an' less unwilling
To give up wanting more an' more of you!

I'm gonna love that girl
Like she's never been loved before,
I'm gonna show that girl
She's the fella that I adore.
When she's in my arms again,
Our dreams will all come true,
The years between might never have been,
We'll start our lives anew,
I'm gonna kiss that girl
Like she's never been kissed before,
And tho' I miss that girl,
She's the fella I'm waitin' for
We'll never part again,
She'll hold my heart again
Forever and ever more
I'm gonna love that girl
Like she's never been loved before.

Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That wonderful feeling that you want to be kissed?
You're strolling through the park, the stars so bright above
You'd love to love somebody but there's nobody there to love!

Did you ever get that longing on a June night
That wonderful longing you can never resist?
Did you ever get that feeling in the moonlight
That feeling that says you want to be kissed?

Tell me honestly, did you ever get that feelin' in the moonlight
Wonderful feeling that you wanna be kissed?
You're strolling in the park, stars so bright above
You'd love to love somebody but there's no one to love!

Did you ever get that longing on a June night
Wonderful longing you can't resist?
Did you ever get that feelin' in the moonlight
That feeling that says you wanna to be kissed?





That certain feelin!
Feelin' that says you wanna be kissed!
They said that feeling!
That feeling that says you wanna to be kissed?

Words and Music by James Cavanaugh,
Larry Stock and Ira Schuster, 1945

You Won't Be Satisfied ( Until You Break My Heart )
You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get from you is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .
My poor heart is saggin' . . .

The way you toss my heard around's a cryin' shame,
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same!
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart,
Oh you won't be satisfied until you break my heart!

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .

My poor heart is saggin' . . .

You won't be satisfied until you break my heart,
You're never satisfied until the teardrops start!
I tried to shower you with love and kisses,
But all I ever get from you is,
Naggin' and braggin' . . .
My poor heart is saggin' . . .

The way you toss my heard around's a cryin' shame,
I'll bet you wouldn't like it if I did the same!
You're only happy tearin' all my dreams apart . . .
It doesn't seem fair ( those little white lies )
But you don't seem to care ( and now I realize )
You won't be satisfied,
Until you've broken my heart!

All through the day, I dream about the night
I dream about the night here with you
All through the day, I wish away the time
Until the time when I'm here with you

Down falls the sun, I run to meet you
The evening mist melts away!
Down smiles the moon, and soon your lips recall
The kiss I dreamed of, all through the day!



All through the day, I wish away the time
Until the time when I'm here with you

Down falls the sun, I run to meet you
The evening mist melts away!
And down smiles the moon, and soon your lips recall
The kiss I dreamed of, all through the day!

We have nothing to remember so far, so far,
So far, we haven't walked by night and shared the light of the star
So far, your heart has never fluttered so near, so near
That my own heart alone could hear it!

We haven't gone beyond the very beginning
We've just begun to know how lucky we are
So we have nothing to remember so far, so far,
But now I'm face to face with you, and now at last we've met
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget!



But now I'm face to face with you, and now at last we've met
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget!

A fella needs a girl, to sit by his side
At the end of a weary day
To sit by his side and listen to him talk
And agree with the things he'll say!

A fella needs a girl, to hold in his arms
When the rest of the world goes wrong
To hold in his arms and know that she believes
That her fellow is wise and strong!

When things go right and his job's well done
He wants to share the prize he's won
If no one shares and no one cares
Where's the fun of a job well done, or a prize you've won?



A fella needs a home, his own kind of home
But to make this dream come true
A fella needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!

< instrumental break >

A fella needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you.

Music by Richard Rodgers
with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, 1947

I love you, I love you, there's no other way
Just one way to say "I love you"
I love you, I love you, and try as I may
That's all I can say "I love you"

Much more could be said if I thought with my head
But I only can think with my heart
I love you, I love you, and yearn for the day
The day when you'll say "I love you"

< instrumental break >

There's no other way,
Just one way to say "I love you"



< instrumental break >

And try as I may
That's all I can say "I love you"

Much more could be said if I thought with my head
But I only can think with my heart
I love you, I love you, and yearn for the day
The day when you'll say "I love you"

~ from the 1949 Broadway musical production "Miss Liberty"
Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
With Mitchell Ayres' Orchestra and Chorus

A spray of tulips and heather, tied up together
I sent my love today
A spray of tulips and heather, asking her whether
Love's dream had gone astray!

For there's a meaning to all the flowers
They tell a story that never lies!
This purple heather, means lonely hours
And tulips weep for a love that dies!

And so I pray when they reach you, if they can teach you
All that is in my heart
My spray of tulips and heather, bring us together
Never again to part!



( For there's a meaning ) My tulips and heather!
( To all the flowers ) Are tied up together!
( They tell a story . . . ) They tell you a tale . . . that never lies!
( This purple heather . . . ) This beautiful heather . . .
( Means lonely hours . . . ) Means lonely forever . . .
( And tulips weep for . . . ) These tulips convey a love that dies!

And so I pray when they reach you, if they can teach you
All that is in my heart
My spray of tulips and heather, brings us together
Never again to part . . .

Darling! Never again to part . . .

Words and Music by Milton Carson

My love and devotion, will always be true
Now and forever, I live for you
My love and devotion, are yours, yours alone
Kiss me beloved, say you're my own!

I kiss your lips sweet an' tender, they open heaven's door
Won't you surrender, forever more?
My love will grow deeper, as time passes by
Deep as the ocean and as high as the sky


My love and devotion, are yours 'till I die!

< instrumental break >

Deep as the ocean and as high as the sky
My love and devotion, are yours 'till I die!

Words and Music by Milton Carson

My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing
My lady has the sparkle of a diamond ring!
When purple shadows fall and silver moonlight beams
My lady loves to dance in my dreams!

She loves a carousel, a roll-y coaster ride
A party or a picnic by the ocean-side!
An' like a laughin' brook that dances in the sun
My lady has a barrel of fun!

Life is a gay-thing, play-thing, hip-o-ray-thing,
Not a worry, not a care!
If there's a trombone a-tootin', a flute'r a-flootin'


Sure as shootin' we'll be there! ( We'll be there! )

My lady loves to dance, my lady loves to sing
A Schottische, a Polka or a Highland Fling!!
An' when we kiss goodnight, the moment we're apart
My lady loves to dance, lady loves to sing,
Sing and dance in my heart!

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
tell your pa pa-paya
you're comin' home with me . . . yip!

My sweet pa-paya mamma wears a bamboo skirt
She dances barefoot an' her feet don't hurt
We drink pa-pays by the moonlit shore
And when we kiss she hollers "More, More, More!"

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me! ( Yip! )

I came to Cuba for a holiday, pa-paya mama took her heart away
Vacation's over and it's time to go, and when we kiss she hollers "No, No, No!"

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me! ( Yip! )

< instrumental break >

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
tell your pa pa-paya
you're comin' home with me . . . yip!



My island queen I'll build a hut for you
The floors an' doors will be the best bamboo
And 'neath the Louisiana moon above
We'll sip pa-paya and we'll love, love love!

Pa-paya, pa-paya, pa-paya, paya, paya
pa pa pa-paya!

In time we'll raise a little family
To play beneath the new pa-paya tree
We'll send your papa fifty-cent cigar
'Cause he's a proud pa-paya grand-pa-pa!

Pa-paya mama, pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me!
Pa-paya mama ( Yahoo! ) pearl of the deep blue sea
Tell your pa pa-paya, you're comin' home with me! ( Yip! )

Pa-paya, pa-paya, pa-paya!

Words and Music by Larry Coleman, Norman Gimbel

I really thought I knew it all concerning sweet romance
'Cause when it came to purdy girls I'd always take a chance
I felt that I could handle love with just a little luck
Then all at once you hit me like a ten tonne diesel truck!

Hit an' run, hit an' run, you left me cryin' there
Wasted love, a victim of a hit an' run affair!
Had your fun, now you're done, my bleeding heart is bare
Couldn't see that it would be a hit an' run affair!

< instrumental break >

The way that Grant took Richmond, was the way you captured me
You roped me and ya tied me, I was helpless as can be!
You told me purdy stories and you said you'd never stray
Ya picked me up an' knocked me down, and then you ran away!



Hit an' run, hit an' run, you left me cryin' there
Wasted love, a victim of a hit an' run affair!
Had your fun, now you're done, my bleeding heart is bare
Couldn't see that it would be a hit an' run affair!

< instrumental break >

Hit an' run, hit an' run, you left me cryin' there
Wasted love, a victim of a hit an' run affair!
Had your fun, now you're done, my bleeding heart is bare
Couldn't see that it would be a hit an' run affair!

Words and Music by Don Roseland, Ray Cormier
and Mel Van, 1954

There never was a night so beautiful,
As this night here with you under the stars,
No music ever was so danceable,
No one as romance-able,
As you are . . .

There never was a night so beautiful,
It seems I'm on the planet Mars,
And yet they say it's not unusual,
For people to feel this way,
The way I do . . .



They say it happens when the one you love,
Loves you!
< instrumental break >
And yet they say it's not unusual,
For people to feel this way,
The way I do . . .

They say it happens when the one you love,
Loves you!

Music and Lyrics by John Rox
With Hugo Winterhalter and His Orchestra

Fooled, maybe I'm just being fooled
Maybe I'll be ridiculed, but I adore you
If I'm fooled, then it's heaven being fooled
For you taught a heart unschooled, to live just for you!

Those who act cautious and wise,
never have stars in their eyes
If I'm in a fool's paradise,
keep me there for I don't care
If I'm fooled, and my mind is overruled
Still my heart has not been fooled,
'cause I'll always love you!



< instrumental break >

Those who act cautious and wise,
never have stars in their eyes
If I'm in a fool's paradise,
keep me there for I don't care
If I'm fooled, and my mind is overruled
Still my heart has not been fooled,
'cause I'll always love you!

Original Music by Franz Lehar from "The Merry Widow"
English adaptation by Doris Tauber and Manny Curtis. 1955

All At Once You Love Her

(All at once you know . . .
All at once you know . . .)

You start to light her cigarette,
And all at once you love her . . .
You've scarcely talked, you've scarcely met,
But all at once you love her . . .

You like her eyes, you tell her so,
She thinks you're wise and clever . . .
You kiss goodnight and then you know,
You'll kiss goodnight forever . . .
You wonder where your heart can go,
Then all at once you know . . .

(All at once you know . . .)

(Instrumental interlude and pick up from beginning.)

You like her eyes, ('like her eyes . . .) you tell her so ( 'tell her so . . .)
She thinks you're wise and clever (you're wise an' clever . . .)
You kiss goodnight and then you know,
You'll kiss goodnight forever . . .
You wonder where your heart can go,
Then all at once you know . . .

(All at once you know . . .)
