Tony Bennett - Forty Years: The Artistry of Tony Bennett [compilation] (1997) 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 you
I 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

Each night in some cafe
I'm on display until the dark, turns into dawn
Up upon the stand, singing with the band
While the music plays on

Each night is just a long
And there where song until the last couple has gone
Then only I must start singing out my heart
While the music plays on

Oh, what madness to discover
Music still possesses all its charms
As I serenade my lover
Dancing by in someone else's arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd
What happens when romance has gone
I must hide my feels singing through the tears
While the music plays on

Oh, what madness to discover
Music still possesses all of its charms
As I serenade my lover
Dancing by in someone else's arms

But I am not allowed to show the crowd
What happens when romance has gone
I must hide my feels singing through my tears
While the music plays on

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

It's a lazy afternoon
And the beetle bugs are zooming
And the tulip trees are blooming
And there's not another human in view,
But us two
It's a lazy afternoon
And the farmer leaves his reaping
In the meadow cows are sleeping
And the speckled trout stop leaping up stream
As we dream
A fat pink cloud hangs over the hill
Unfolding like a rose
If you hold my hand and sit real still,
You can hear the grass as it grows
It's a hazy afternoon
And I know a place that's quiet, except for daisies running riot
And there's no one passing by it to see
Come spend this lazy afternoon with me

I want your eyes to see my eyes
I want your lips to touch my lips
I want your love to be my love forever moreCan you find it in your heart to forgive me
I was thoughtless heaven knows I acted badly
But the love I once gave to you so gladly
Can you find it in your heartCan't we make another start, please forgive me
I'm repenting and your arms alone can save me
So if carelessly I lost the love you gave me
Can you find it in your heartDay and night I want your eyes to see my eyes
I want your lips to touch my lips
I want your love to be my love forever more
And never never more to partMust you tell me that it's over, think it over
Though I once betrayed your love, forgive the treason
And my darling if your mind can't find the reason
Can you find it in your heartCan you find it in your heart

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

Before Lord God made the sea and 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 on the wind down there.
And he stated and promised he'd take special care
So it wouldn't get lost again.
Now a man don't mind if the stars grow dim
And the clouds blow over and darken him,
So long as the Lord God's watching over them,
Keeping track of how it all goes on.
But I've been walking all the night and the day,
Till my eyes get weary and my head turns gray.
And sometimes it seems maybe God's gone away,
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.

Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel

Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss

And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

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

Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing 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
An' 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
An' we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark, dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark

The song a robin sings,
Through years of endless springs,
The murmur of a brook at evening tides.
That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide.

That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and I agree,
She's everything on this earth to me.

That great symphonic theme,
That's Stella by starlight,
And not a dream,
My heart and I agree,
She's everything on this earth to me.

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

I often wonder why you came to me
Brought such a flame to me
Then let it die
And if another love should find my heart
It will remind my heart of your goodbye
With every new love you'll come back to me
In other eyes it's you I'll see

If I love again, though it's someone new
If I love again, it will still be you

In someone's else's fond embrace
I'll close my eyes and see your face
If I love again I'll find other charms
But I'll make-believe you are in my arms
And though my lips whisper "I love you"
My heart will not be true
I'll be loving you every time I love again

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

If you hear music when she's near you
And Christmas comes ev'ry day of the year
Then you must know why it's the first clue
That the moment of truth is nearIf ev'ry time she glances your way
A million bells start to ring loud and clear
And, after one kiss, you yell "Mayday!"
Then the moment of truth is nearThere will come a day when she looks at you
Thrills you through and through and calls your name
That will be the day when you say "I do"
'cause you've discovered that you've grown tired of playin' the game"And then you both know you're through schemin'"Oh Promise Me"
starts to sing in your ear
You're wide-awake, boy, you're not dreamin'
'cause when you say "I do", the moment of truth
At last is here!There will come a day when she looks at you
Thrills you through and through and calls your name
That will be the day when you say "I do"
'cause you've discovered that you've grown tired of playin' the game"And then you both know you're through schemin'"Oh Promise Me"
starts to sing in your ear
You're wide-awake, boy, you're not dreamin'
'cause when you say "I do", the moment of truth
At last is here!

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.

Winds may blow over the icy sea
I'll take with me the warmth of thee
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wineI will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and youI'll leave behind my heart to wear
And may it e'er remind you of
A taste of honey
A taste much sweeter than wineI will return
I'll return
I'll come back for the honey and youHe ne'er came back to his love so fair
And so she died dreaming of his kiss
His kiss of honey
A taste more bitter than wineI will return
I will return
I'll come back for the honey and you
I'll come back for the honey and you!

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

Could be, should be making me glad
Why am I blue?
It's up to you to explain
I'm thinking maybe, baby,
I'll go away
Someday, some way,
You'll come and say
It's you I need
And you'll be pleading in vain
It had to be you,
Had to be you
I wondered around,
Finally found somebody who
Could make me be true,
Could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean,
Might never be cross
I tried to be boss,
But they wouldn't do
'Cause nobody else gave ma a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
Had to be you,
Crazy old you,
Had to be you.

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
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 me
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing forever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Ev'rything is set, skies are blue,
Can't believe it yet, but it's true,
I'll give you just one guess,
My sweet Lorraine said "Yes;"
Waiting for the time, soon to be,
When the bells will chime merrily,

(I'm so happy,)When it's raining I don't miss the sun,
For it's in my sweeties smile,
Just think that I'm the lucky one
Who will lend her down the aisle;
Each night I pray
That nobody steals her heart away,
Just can't wait until that happy day,
When I mary sweet Lorraine.

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

Good bye, old friend,
This is the end of the man(girl) I used to be,
'cause there's been a strange and welcome change in me.

For once in my life I have someone who needs me,
Someone I've needed so long,
For once, unafraid I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong.
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of long before I knew
Someone warm like you would make my dream come true.
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me,
Not like it's hurt me before,
For once I have something I know won't desert me,
I'm not alone anymore.
For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,
Long as I know I have love, I can make it,
For once in my life I have someone who needs me.

For once I can say this is mine, you can't take it,
Long as I know I have love, I can make it,
For once I can feel that somebody's heard my plea,

Who cares if the sky cares to fall in the sea?
Who cares how history rates me?
Long as your kiss intoxicates me!
Why should I care?
Life is one long jubilee,
So long as I care for you,
And you care for me.
