Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong

I thought I'd found the man of my dreams
Now it seems, this is how the story ends
He's going to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Not for long, I can see the way this ends
He's going to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

Never again
Through with love through with men
They play their game
Without shame, and who's to blame?

I thought I'd found a man I could trust
What a bust, this is how the story ends
He's going to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

I thought I knew the weight from the shaft
What a laugh, this is how our story ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

I acted like a kid out of school
What a fool, now I see the way this ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

What should I give
Though she gave me the air?
Why should I cry
heave a sigh, and wonder why?

I should have seen the signal to stop
What a flop, this is how the story ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

"Can't we be Friends?"
"Can't we be Friends?"

The weather is fright'ning
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
And everything's O.K.

Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain

Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke and oh!
What a break for me

I can see the sun up high
Tho' we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm

Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you it's a lovely day

Pennies in a stream,
Falling leaves, a sycamore..
Moonlight in Vermont.

Icy finger waves,
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snowlight in Vermont.

Telegraph cables, that sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road,
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely

Evening summer breeze,
Warbling of a meadowlark,
Moonlight in Vermont,

You and I and moonlight in Vermont

(Louis Amstrong)

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing in a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

Now mamma dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That charms about you
will carry me through...

To Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together swinging cheek to cheek

(Ella Fitzgerald)

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountain
And to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing in a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

Come on dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That charms about you
Will carry me through...

To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together swing cheek to cheek

(Duet)
Dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That charms about you
Will carry me through...

To Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together swing cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek (X3)
