Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to. Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live.Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to, But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live.I never cared, but now I'm scared, I won't live long enough. That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains and eat an apple every day then see the doctor anyway.What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to. Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.<musical interlude>I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu, And that would never never doWhat if I can't live to love you as long as I want to. Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live.
I gotta right to sing the blues I gotta right to feel low-downI gotta right to hang aroundDown around the riverA certain gal in this old townKeeps draggin' my poor (old) heart aroundAll I see, for me is - miseryI gotta right to sing the bluesI gotta right to moan and sighI gotta right to sit and cryDown around the riverI know the deep blue seaWill soon be callin' meIt must be love - say what you chooseI gotta right to sing the blues
That old black magic has me in its spell That old black magic that you weave so well Icy fingers up and down my spine The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mineThe same old tingle that I feel inside When that elevator starts its ride Down and down I go, round and round I go Like a leaf that's caught in the tideI should stay away but what can I do I hear your name, and I'm aflame Aflame with such a burning desire That only your kiss can put out the fireYou are the lover that I've waited forThe mate that fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mineBaby down and down I go, all around I go In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in Under that old black magic called love
Down with love the flowers and rice and shoes Down with love the root of all midnight blues Down with things that give you that well-known pain Take that moon wrap it in cellophaneDown with love let's liquidate all its friends Moon and June and roses and rainbow's ends Down with songs that moan about night and day Down with love yes take it away, awayAway Far away Give it back to the birds and bees and the VienneseDown with eyes romantic and stupid Down with sighs and down with cupid Brother let's stuff that dove Down with loveDown with love let's liquidate all its friends The moons the Junes the roses and rainbow's ends Down with songs that moan about night and day Down with love yes take it away, awayFar away So very, very far away Give it back to the birds and the bees and especially the VienneseDown with eyes romantic and stupid Down with sighs and down with cupid Brother let's stuff that dove Down with love
My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants My mama done tol' me, "" Son a woman'll sweet talk"" And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done A woman's a two-face, A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the nightNow the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin, ""Whooee!"" (My mama done tol' me) Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle, ""Whooee!"" (My mama done tol' me) A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety-clack's a-echoin' back th' blues in the night The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' and the moon'll hide its light when you get the blues in the night Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing the saddest kind o' song, he knows things are wrong, and he's rightFrom Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe, wherever the four winds blow I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk, but there is one thing I know A woman's a two-face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the nightMy mama was right, there's blues in
Skies ain't gonna cloud no mo', The crops ain't gonna fail, Caught a bluebird by the toe, A rainbow by the tail. A certain man with eyes that shine Voo-doo'd up this heart of mine.
It seem like Happiness is jes' a thing called Joe, He's got a smile that makes the lilac wanna grow, He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh, When they know Little Joe's passing by. Sometime the cabin's gloomy an' the table bare, Then he'llkiss me an' it's Christmas ev'rywhere, Troubles fly away an' life is easy go, Does he love me good, that's all I need to know, Seem like happiness is jes' a thing called Joe.
We might have been meant for each other To be or not to be, let our hearts discover I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing - I don't know why It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental - alibi But I adore you, so strong for you Why go on stalling, I am falling, love is calling - why be shy Let's fall in love Why shouldn't we fall in love Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance Why be afraid of it Let's close our eyes And make our own paradise Little we know of it, still we can try To make a go of it We might have been meant for each other To be or not to be, let our hearts discover Let's fall in love Why shouldn't we fall in love Now is the time for it, while we are young Let's fall in love
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a place that I heard of Once in a lullabySomewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come trueSome day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find meSomewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then oh why can't I?If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I?
Blow ill wind, blow away Let me rest today You're blowin' me no good (no good)
Go ill wind, go away Skies are oh so gray Around my neighborhood, and that's no good
You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin' Ain't that a shame It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up From out of nowhere, when love's to blame
So ill wind, blow away Let me rest today You're blowin' me no good (no good)
You're only misleadin' the sunshine I'm needin' Ain't that a shame It's so hard to keep up with troubles that creep up From out of nowhere, when love's to blame
So ill wind, blow away Let me rest today You're blowin' me no good (no good)
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you Come rain or come shine High as a mountain, deep as a river Come rain or come shine I guess when you met me It was just one of those things But don't you ever bet me 'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me Come rain or come shine We'll be happy together, unhappy together Now won't that be just fine The days may be cloudy or sunny We're in or out of the money But I'm with you always I'm with you rain or shine
I never feel a thing is real When I'm away from you Out of your embrace The world's a temporary parking placeMmm, mm, mm, mm A bubble for a minute Mmm, mm, mm, mm You smile, the bubble has a rainbow in itSay, its only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in meYes, it's only a canvas sky Hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in meWithout your love It's a honky-tonk parade Without your love It's a melody played in a penny arcadeIt's a Barnum and Bailey world Just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me
Don't know why There's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the timeLife is bare Gloom and misery everywhere Stormy weather Just can't get my poor old self together I'm weary all the time, the time So weary all of the timeWhen he went away The blues walked in and met me If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray The lord above will let me Walk in the sun once moreCan't go on Everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time Keeps raining all of the timeI walk around, Heavy-hearted and sad Night comes around And I'm still feeling bad Rain pourin' down Blinding every hope I had This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me madLove, love, love, love This misery will be the end of me When he went away The blues walked in and met me If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me All I do is pray The lord above will let me Walk in the sun once moreCan't go on Everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together Keeps raining all the time, the time Keeps raining all the time
When the sun comes out And that rain stops beatin' on my window pane When the sun comes out There'll be bluebirds 'round my door, singin' like they did before
That ol' storm broke out And my man/gal walked off and left me in the rain Though he's/she's gone I doubt If he'll/she'll stay away for good,I'd stop livin' if he/she should
Love is funny, it's not always peaches, cream and honey Just when everything looked bright and sunny Suddenly the cyclone came, I'll never be the same
Til that sun comes out And the rain stops beatin' on my window pane If my heart holds out Let it rain and let it pour, it may not be long before There's a knockin' at my door Then you'll know the one I love walked in When the sun comes out
