Tony Bennett - The Essential Tony Bennett [compilation] (1999) by Tony Bennett (보컬) on maniadb.com

Because of you there's a song in my heart
Because of you my romance had its start
Because of you the sun will shine
The moon and stars will say you're mine
Forever and never to partI only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of youI only live for your love and your kiss
It's paradise to be near you like this
Because of you my life is now worthwhile
And I can smile
Because of you

I tried so hard, my dear, to show that you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life? To try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold, cold heart?

Blue velvet wow woo
she wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars she wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than may her tender sighs
Love was ours ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left gone was the glow of
Blue velvet but in my heart
There'll always be precious andWarm a memory through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears she wore bluevelvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm a memory
Through the years and I still can see
Blue velvet through my tears
Blue velvetwoo

I know I go from rags to riches
If you would only you say you care
And though my pocket maybe empty
I'll be a millionaireMy clothes may still be torn and tattled
But in my heart I'd be a king
Your love is all that ever mattered
It's everything, so open your arms
And you open the door
To every treasure that I am hoping for
Hold me and kiss me and
Tell me you're mine ever moreMust I forever be a beggar
Whose golden dreams would not come true
Or will I go from rags to riches
My fate is up to you

Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like youI saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare somewhere
In space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you careWon't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger forBut open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

Brothers, sisters
Listen to what I say
Moanin' and groanin'
Won't drive those blues away
Lift up your voices in song
You know you've all done wrong

You sinners, drop everything
And let that harmony ring
Up to Heaven
And sing, you sinners

Just wave your arms all about
And let the Lord hear you shout
Pour the music right out
And sing, you sinners

Whenever there's music
The Devil kicks
He don't allow music
By the river Styx

You're wicked and you're depraved
And you've all misbehaved
If you wanna be saved
Well, sing, you sinners

Well, up until now
I've been asking you singers to sing
But if you can't sing, dance
C'mon band, swing

Swing, swing, swing
Swing, you sinners
Swing, swing, swing
Swing, you sinners

Whenever there's music
The Devil kicks
He don't allow music
By the river Styx

You're wicked and you're depraved
And you've all misbehaved
If you wanna be saved
If you wanna be saved
Well, sing, you sinners

Just in time, I found you just in time
Before you came, my time was runnin' low
I was lost, the losin' dice were tossed
My s all were crossed, nowhere to go
Now you're here and now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubt or fear, I found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely dayMm, I was lost, the losin' dice were tossed
My s all were crossed, nowhere to go
Now you're here and now I know just where I'm goin'
No more doubt or fear, I found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lovely day

My height, just average
My weight, just average
And my I.Q. is like you'd estimate
Just average

But evidently
She does not agree
Consequently
If I seem at sea

It amazes me
It simply amazes me
What she sees in me
Dazzles me, dazes me

That I've learned to clip my wings
And soften my ways
These are ordinary things
Unworthy of praise

Yet she praises me
Just knowing I'd try for her
When so many would
If they could, die for her

I'm the one who's worldly wise
And nothing much fazes me
But to see me in her eyes
It just amazes me

I call her Firefly
Cause, oh, my
She radiates moon glow
Wants none of that noon glow
She starts to glitter
When the sun goes down

Bout eight p.m., it's mayhem
She switches those brights up
Lights up and gives me a call
Take me to the Fireflies ball

But when I get her there
Set her there
Do I get to pet her there
And grab me some glow

No, she's a gad about, mad about
Luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low

Oh, Firefly, why can't I
Latch on for you no how
Oh, how I love you but gee
While you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on me

But when I get her there
Set her there
Do I get to pet her there
And grab me some glow

No, she's a gad about, mad about
Luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low

Oh, Firefly, why can't I
Latch on for you no how
Oh, how I love you but gee
While you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on
Shine a little light on
Shine a little light on me
(In the mornin')

Gray skies are gonna clear up, Put on a happy face; Brush off the clouds and cheer up, Put on a happy face. Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, It's not your style; You'll look so good that you'll be glad Ya' decide to smile! Pick out a pleasant outlook, Stick out that noble chin; Wipe off that "full of doubt" look, Slap on a happy grin! And spread sunshine all over the place, Just put on a happy face! Put on a happy face Put on a happy face And if you're feeling cross and bitterish Don't sit and whine Think of banana split and licorice And you'll feel fine I knew a girl so glooming She'd never laugh or sing She wouldn't listen to me Now she's a mean old thing So spread sunshine all over the place Just put on a happy face So, put on a happy face

Apparently not charted by anyone but still a fine songOut of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything started to hum
Still it's a real good bet the best is yet to comeThe best is yet to come and, babe, won't it be fine?
You think you've seen the sun but you ain't seen it shineWait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
Wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet!The best is yet to come and, babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mineCome the day you're mine, I'm gonna teach you to fly
We're gonna taste of the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dryWait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before but you ain't left the groundWait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here!The best is yet to come and, babe, won't it be fine
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mineSPOKEN: "Ho, ho"
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came alongand everything started to hum

Tender is the night
So tender is the night
There was no one in the world
Except the two of us
Should tomorrow find us disenchanted?
We have shared our love that few have known
Summer by the sea,
A sailboat in Capri,
These memories shall be our very own
Even though our dream may vanish
With the morning light
We loved once in splender
How tendeer, how tender
The night!

Did not chart, although it was recorded by such artists as Frank Sinatra, Robert
Goulet, Al Martino, Jim Reeves, Diahann Carroll, Vic Damone, and Bobby Darin
Sung in the Broadway musical "All American" by Ray Bolger and Eileen HerlieOnce upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time, very long agoOnce upon a time we sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time, now the tree is goneHow the breeze ruffled up her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go?Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time never comes again

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart as IA somebody who will swear to be true
As you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn
That mis'ry loves company, wait and seeI mean, I wanna be around to see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fineAnd that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you, like you broke mine

Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal
Mm, the good life lets you hide all the sadness you feel
You won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance
So please be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romanceIt's the good life to be free and explore the unknown
Like the heartaches when you learn you must face them alone
Please remember I still want you, and in case you wonder why
Well, just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye

I'm putting on my top hat,
tying up my white tie, brushing off my tails.
I'm duding up my shirt front,
putting in shirt studs, polishing my nails.And I'm stepping out, my dear,
To breathe an atmosphere that simply reeks with class,
And I trust that you'll excuse my dust when I step on the gas,
For I'll be there putting down my top hat,
Mussing up my white tie, dancing in my tails.

Today is just another day, tomorrow is a guess
But yesterday, oh, what I'd give for yesterday
To relive one yesterday and its happinessWhen Joanna loved me
Every town was Paris
Every day was Sunday
Every month was MayWhen Joanna loved me
Every sound was music
Music made of laughter
Laughter that was bright and gayBut when Joanna left me
May became December
But, even in December, I remember
Her touch, her smile, and for a little whileShe loves me
And once again it's Paris
Paris on a Sunday
And the month is May

Who can I turn to when nobody needs me?
My heart wants to know and so I must go where destiny leads me
With no star to guide me and no one beside me
I'll go on my way and, after the day, the darkness will hide meAnd maybe tomorrow I'll find what I'm after
I'll throw off my sorrow, beg, steal, or borrow my share of laughter
With you I could learn to, with you what a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?With you I could learn to, with you what a new day
But who can I turn to if you turn away?

If I ruled the world, ev'ry day would be the first day of spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bringIf I ruled the world, ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,
Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word we would treasure each day that occurredMy world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
My world would wear a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon has when the moon beams
If I ruled the world every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man coud end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world
Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

The Shadow of your smile When you are gone
당신 미소 속의 그림자는
Will follow all my dreams
And light the down
당신이 떠난 뒤 내 꿈을 색칠해 줄 꺼에요

Look into my eyes my love and see
내 눈동자를 보고 알아주세요
All the lovely things you are to me
당신은 내게 있어서 전부라는 사실을

A wisful little star was far too high
높은 하늘의 쓸쓸해 보이는 작은 별
A tear drop kissed your lips and so did I
나의 눈물로 젖은 당신의 입술

Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
내가 지금 사랑의 기쁨이었던 봄을 회상할 때면
I will be remembering The shadow of your smile
당신의 미소에 깃든 그림자를 생각하겠지요

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it??쨈s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you??쨈ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You??쨈ll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That??쨈s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what??쨈s the use of crying?
You??쨈ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That??쨈s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what??쨈s the use of crying?
You??쨈ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

For once in my life

내 인생 처음으로
I have someone who needs me

나를 필요로 하는 사람이 있지
Someone I've needed so long

나또한 오랫동안 기다려왔던 사람이죠
For once unafraid

내 인생 처음으로 아무것도 두렵지 않죠
I can go where life leads me

인생이 나를 이끄는 어떤 일도 할 수 있죠
And somehow I know I'll be strong

그리고 내가 강해질 것이라는 걸 알고있죠...



For once I can touch
내 인생 처음으로

What my heart used to dream of Long before I knew

나도 모르게 나의 마음이 오랫동안 꿈꿔왔던 무언가를 가지게 되었죠
Someone warm like you Could make my dreams come true

나의 모든 희망을 이룰수 있게 만들어 줄 따뜻한 당신을요..



For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me

내 인생 처음으로 나는 슬픔에 주저않지 않죠
Not like it's hurt me before, oh
슬픔에 주저않았던 예전과는 다르죠



For once I've got someone I know won't desert me

내 인생처음으로 나를 버리지 않을 누군가가 내겐 있죠
'Cause I'm not alone anymore

나는 이제 더이상 혼자가 아닌걸요



For once I can say This is mine, you can't take it

내 인생 처음으로 누구도 빼앗아 갈수없는 나만의 감정을 가졌죠
As long as I've got love I know I can make it

내가 사랑을 하는한 나는 무엇이든 할수 있죠
For once in my life
I've got someone who needs me

내 인생 처음으로 나를 원하는 누군가가 내겐 있죠

Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name
Asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds
As I wandered on
Out of doorways black umbrellas came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed were looking through me
No one knew meYesterday I shut my eyes, face-up to the skies
Drinking in the rain
But your image still was there floating in the air
Brighter than a flame
Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your nameYesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens

Brown paper packages tied up with strings

These are a few of my favourite things

Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels

Doorbells and slaybells and schnitzel with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favourite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes

Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Silver white winters that melt into springs

These are few of my favourite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favourite things and then I don't feel so bad

I do not know a day I did not love you
I can't remember love not being there
The planting when the earth ran through your fingers
The harvest when the sun danced in your hair

I do not know a day, I did not need you
For sharing every moment that I spent
I needed you before I ever knew you
Before I knew what needing someone meant

And if we ever were to have tomorrow
One fact alone is full and filled with song
You will not know a day I do not love you
The way that I have loved you all our lives

NIGHT AND DAY by Tony Bennett Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom when the jungle shadows fall Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock as it stands against the wall Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops when a summer shower is through So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you 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 'till you let me spend my life making love to you day and night, night and day

Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real so right
Ages ago last night

Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star that shone so bright
Ages ago last night?

To think that spring had depended
On merely this: a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could slip away in one little daybreak

So now, let's reminisce
And recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung

When we were young last night

Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong cause I'm in right
It's for sure, not for maybe
That I'm all dressed up tonight

Steppin' out with my honey
Can't be bad to feel so good
Never felt quite so sunny
And I keep on knockin' wood

There'll be smooth sailin'
'Cause I'm trimmin' my sails
In my top hat and my white tie and my tails

Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
Ask me when will that day be
The big day may be TONIGHT!

If I seem to scintillate
It's because I've got a date
A date with a package of
The good things that come with love
You don't have to ask me
I won't waste your time
But if you should ask me
Why I feel sublime
Dance!

There'll be smooth sailin'
'Cause I'm trimmin' my sails
In my top hat and my white tie and my tails

Steppin' out with my baby
Can't go wrong 'cause I'm in right
Ask me when will the day be
The big day may be tonight

WHAT A NIGHT!
