Billie Holiday - First Issue/ The Great American Songbook (2000) by Billie Holiday (보컬) on maniadb.com

The man who only lives for making money
Lives a life that is'nt necessarily sunny
Likewise the man who works for fame
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boys meant
Fall in love you won't regret it
That''s the best work of all if you can get itHolding hands at midnight
'Neath the starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Scrolling with the one girl
Sighing after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you tryJust imagen someone waiting at the cottage door
Where two hearts become one
Who could ask for more
Loving one who loves you
And taking that vow
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if
Won't you tell me how?

You′d be so easy to love
So easy to idolize
All others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every homefire burning for
We′d be so grand at the game
So carefree together
That it does seem a shame
That you can′t see
Your future with me
′Cause you′d be oh, so easy to love

Embraceable You_

George and Ira Gershwin

..

Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you
Embrace me
My irreplaceable you
Just to look at you
My heart grows 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 my arms about you
Don't be naughty baby
Come to me
Come to me do
My sweet embraceable you

I love all
The many charms about you
Above all
I want my arms about you
Don't be naughty baby
Come to me
Come to me do
My sweet embraceable you..........

A fine romance, with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed potatoes
A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't wrestle
I might as well play With my old maid aunt
I haven't got a chance
This is a fine romanceA fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, I'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals
In the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins
To express emotion
A fine romance with no quarrels
With no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease
In your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance

All of me
Why not take all of me
Cant you see
Im no good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
Ill never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me

The way you wear your hat;
The way you sip your tea;
The memory of all that.
No, no, they can't take that away from me.The way your smile just beams;
The way you sing off key;
The way you haunt my dreams.
No, no, they can't take that away from me.We may never, never meet again
On on the bumpy road to love.
Still I'll always, always keep the memory ofThe way you hold your knife;
The way we danced 'til three;
The way you've changed my life.
No, no, they can't take that away from me.The way you wear your hat;
The way you sip your tea;
The memory of all that.
No, no, they can't take that away from me.The way your smile just beams;
The way you sing off key;
The way you haunt my dreams.
No, no, they can't take that away from me.We may never, never meet again
On on the bumpy road to love.
Still I'll always, always keep the memory ofThe way you hold your knife;
The way we danced 'til three;
The way you've changed my life.
No, no, they can't take that away from me.
No, they can't take that away from me
