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 bridge
With my old maid aunt

There ain't nothing I can do
Or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm going to do
Just as I want to anyway
And don't care just what people say
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean

There ain't nothing i can do, or nothing i can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So i'm gonna do just what i want to anyway,
And don't care if you all despise me.

If i should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It ain't nobody's business if i do.

I'll be loving you always
With a love that's true always
When the things you plan
Need a helping hand will understand
Always, always
Days may not be fair always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour

It was a morning, long before dawn
Without a warning I found he was gone
How could he do it
Why should he do it
He never done it before

Am I blue
Am I blue

Any old time you want me
I am yours for just the asking, darling
Any old time you need me
I'll be there with love that's lasting, darling
All through the years, we'll stand together
Sharing the tears and stormy weather
And the sunshine will be yours and mine
Any old time you're blue

Autumn in new york
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in new york
It spells the thrill of first-nighting

Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
Theyre making me feel - Im home

Autumn in new york
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in new york
It spells the thrill of first-nighting

Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
Theyre making me feel - Im home

Had my lunch all alone
Waited for you to phone
Said you call me at two
So at abpout twenty of three
I had cocktails with Lee
Baby, I don't cry over you

Stood me up in the rain

So you cry
What's it about, baby?
You ask why
Blues had to go and pick you
So you go
Down to the shore, kid's stuff
Don't you know
There's honey in the store for you, big stuff

I love my man
I'm a liar if I say I don't
I love my man
I'm a liar if I say I don't
But I'll quit my man
I'm a liar if I say I won't

I've been your slave, baby

Gee, how I miss
Your tender kiss,
And the wonderful things we would do.

Now I run my hands
Through silvery strands,
You left me blue turning gray over you.

My heart is sad an' lonely
for you I sigh, for you dear only,
why haven't you seen it?
I'm all for you, body an' soul!

I spent my days in longing
and wondering why it's me you're wronging?
I tell you I mean it

There's something that rules our destiny
Right from the first day of our birth
although you may not care for me
You have your mission on this earth
You were born to love
Sure as you live
Born with everything heaven could give
You have eyes and they express

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

I say I'll move the mountains
And I'll move the mountains
If he wants them out of the way
Crazy he calls me
Sure, I'm crazy
Crazy in love, I say

I say I'll go through fire

Smooth road, clear day
But why am I the only one
Travelin' this way
How strange the road you love
Should be so easy
Can there be a detour ahead

Wake up, slow down

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know Im not wrong, this feeling's gettin' stronger
The longer, I stay away

Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines
Where mockin' birds used to sing
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain

Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

Living for you is easy living
It’s easy to live when you’re in love
And I’m so in love
There is nothing in life but you

I never regret the years that I’m giving
They’re easy to give when you’re in love
I’m happy to do whatever I do for you

Black cats creep across my path
Until Im almost mad
I must have roused the devils wrath
'cause all my luck is bad

I make a date for golf – and you can bet your life it rains.
I try to give a party - but the guy upstairs complains.
I guess I'll go thru life just catching colds and missing trains;

Always blue all in a mist
It's plain as can be
You're so mean to me
But everything happens for the best
You always play around
You're running my heart so deep in the ground
That O.K. everything happens for the best
I loved you so madly

My man don't love me
Treats me Oh so mean
My man he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen
He wears high draped pants
Stripes are really yellow

I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self pity
What to do, what to do, what to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day in London town

I try to keep you out of my heart
But somehow I find
Trying to keep you out of my heart
I'm out of my mind
I tell myself "I'm through with you
And I'll having nothing more to do with you"
I stay away, but every day
I'm just foolin' myself

Ghost of yesterday
Stalking 'round my room
All night long you stay
Walk around profound gloom
When the darkness falls
When I've gone to bed
Weirdly come your calls
Mournfully, scornfully dead

Look at yorself.
If you had the sense of humor,
You would laught to beat the band.

Look at yourself.
Do you still belive in rumor
That romance is simply grand?

Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumber less
Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless
Little white flowers will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of sorrows has taken you
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows I spend it all

Them that's got shall get

Them that's not shall lose

So the bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own

Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seems you heve gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I forget you, but youre here to stay
It seems I met you

Is it a sin, is it a crime
Loving you dear like I do
If it’s a crime, then, I’m guilty
Guilty of loving you

Maybe I’m wrong dreaming of you
Dreaming the lonely night thru
If it’s a crime, then, I’m guilty

See the house lights start to blink
And the sky is turnin' pink
Gosh what will the neighbors think
Cause here it is tomorrow again

We could share a perfect day
But we've danced the night away
Guess you'd better hit the hay

I'm a fool to want you,
I'm a fool to want you,
To want a love that can't be true,
A love that's there for others too...

I'm a fool to hold you,
Such a fool to hold you,
To seek a kiss not mine alone,

Your eyes so blue
Your kisses too
I never knew what they could do
I can't believe you're in love with me

You're telling everyone I know
I'm on your mind each place you go
They can't believe that you're in love with me

Each night, just about sunset
I watch you passing my door
It's all I can do
Not to run to you
'Cause I don't want to cry anymore

Nighttime, when there is moonlight
The same old moon I knew before

I hear music
Mighty fine music
The murmur of a morning breeze up there
The rattle of the milkman on the stair

Sure that's music
Mighty fine music
The singing of a sparrow in the sky

Joys that come to others
Seldom come to me
But if I only were Aladin
How different things would be
Every time I wish
I wish I had you
Every time I dream
The dream is for two

I wished on the moon, for something I never knew
I wished on the moon, for more than I ever knew
A sweeter rose, a softer sky
On April days that would not dance away

I wished on the stars to throw me a beam or two
I begged of a stars and asked for a dream or two

I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks you played on me
I'm gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snob the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can't get in
Park my romance right alone the curb

If I were you
Here's what I'd do
I'd give my heart a break
Instead of trying to break my heart

It I were you
I'd do this too
I'd string along with me

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
The chestnut trees

ПЕРЕВОД:

Какая же я дурочка - хочу, чтобы ты был
моим,
Какая же я дурочка - хочу, чтобы ты был
моим.
Жажду твоей неверной любви,
Любви, в которой ни одной нет отказа.

Be sure it's true when you say, "I love you"
It's a sin to tell a lie

Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken

I love you, yes I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die

It's like reaching for the moon
It's like reaching for the sun
It's like reaching for the stars
Reaching for you

You're so far above me
How can I expect an angel to love me
Who is so divine as you are?

It's not for me to say
You'll love me
It's not for me to say
You'll always care
Oh, but here for the moment
I can hold you fast
And press your lips to mine
And dream that love will last

It's too hot for words
Why bother with conversation
Don't let's talk or even walk
If you want to make love, okay

It's too hot for words
There's nothing like relaxation
Can't ignore this temperature

Away from the city that hurts and knocks,
I'm standing alone by the desolate docks
In the still and the chill of the night
I see the horizon the great unknown
My heart has an ache
It's as heavy as stone
With the dawn coming on, make it last

Lady sings the blues
Shes got them bad
She feels so sad
Wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about
Lady sings the blues
She tells her side
Nothing to hide

Авторы George & Ira Gershwin

You say either
And I say either
You say neither
And I say neither
Either, either, neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off

Let's dream in the moonlight
Tell me that you love me
Tell the stars above me
What's in you heart

Let's dream in the moonlight
Say you're glad you found me
Put your arms around me

Love me or leave me or let me be lonely
You won't believe me, I love you only
I'd rather be lonely
Than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time
The right time for kissin'
But night time is my time
For just reminiscin'

Mandy is two
You ought to see her eyes of cornflower blue
They really look as it they actually knew
That she's a big girl now

Mandy is two
You ought to see how many things she can do
She knows her alphabet

Me, myself and i
Are all in love with you
We all think you're wonderful
We do

Me, myself and i
Have just one point of view
We're convinced

You're mean to me
Why must you be mean to me?
Gee, honey, it seems to me
You love to see me cryin'
I don't know why
I stay home each night
When you say you phone
You don't and I'm left alone.

Moanin' low, my sweet man, I love him so
Though he's mean as can be
He's the kind of man needs the kind
Of a woman like me

Gonna die if my sweet man should pass me by
If I die where'll he be
He's the kind of a man needs the kind

It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"

We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere

My first impression of you
Was like the sight of flowers in spring
You were a glorious thing to see

My first impression of you
Was something indescribably new
I stood there looking at you
Smiling at me

It cost me a lot
But theres one thing that
Ive got
Its my man
Its my man
Cold or wet
Tired, you bet
All of this

"Fine And Mellow"

My man don't love me
Treats me oh so mean
My man, he don't love me
Treats me awful mean
He's the lowest man
That I've ever seen

No good man
Lovin' all the no good things
Never treats me as he should
That ain't no good
He's always bringing me down
He's no saint
Heaven knows that's what he ain't
Spends his money foolishly

You ain't gonna bother me no more
No how
Love goes just so far
No more
Woke up this morning and found
I didn't care for you no more
No how
Never felt so good before

No regrets altho' our love affair has gone astray
No regrets I know I'll always care though you're away
Somehow our happy romance ended suddenly
Still in my heart you'll be forever mine

No regrets because somebody new looks good to you
No regrets sweetheart no matter what you say or do
I know our love will linger when the other love forgets

Our love is different dear
It's like a mighty symphony
I can feel its silver harmony
Oh so tenderly, day by day

Our love is different dear
To me it's almost heavenly
Let us guard it ever preciously

Dear, I thought I drop a line
The weather is cool
The fooks are fine
I'm in bed each night at nine
PS I love you

Yesterday we had some rain
But all in all I can't complain

Please tell me now
How much you care
Before we say good night, my dear

You'll never say
That you'll be mine
Why keep me waiting?
Please tell me now

Sentimental and melancholy
Whenever I think about you
It's only a mood
A brief interlude
That's better described
As just feelin' blue

I suppose that

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
Oh, I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire

In my solitude
You haunt me
With dreadful ease
Of days gone by

In my solitude
You taunt me
With memories

Speak low when you speak, love
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near,

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night
I can't forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night

I never planned in my imagination

I've been down so long
That down don't worry me

I've been down so long
That down don't worry me

I just sit and wonder
Where can my good man be

Strange Fruit

Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black body swinging in the Southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant South,

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh! Your Daddy's rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby, don't you cry . . .

One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,

Summertime -
And the living is easy.
Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high.
Oh, your daddy's rich, and your ma is good-looking,
So hush, little baby, don't you cry.

One of these mornings, you'll gonna rise up singing.
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take the sky.

The evening breeze, caressed the trees tenderly,
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.
Then you and i came wandering by,
And lost in sigh were we

The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly,
i can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside,

It's that ole devil called love game
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shock again
Put a ring in my eyes
Tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart
It's that sly ole sun of a gun again
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again
But I still have that ring

It's that ole devil called love again
Gets behind me and keeps giving me that shove again
Putting rain in my eyes
Tears in my dreams
And rocks in my heart

It's that sly ole-sun-of-a-gun again
He keeps telling me that I'm the lucky one again

You've heard my story before
I've often told it you know
Well it's just the same
A dream that's been in vain
Someone to miss when I'm away
Someone to kiss at close of day
A hear that's new
With a love thats true

When the moon's kinda dreamy
Starry eyed and dreamy
And nights are luscious and long
If you're kinda lonely
Then nothin' but the blues are brewin'
The blues are brewin'

When the wind through the window

Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand

The very thought of you
I forget to do
Those little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
Im livin in a kind of a daydream
Im happy as a queen
And foolish though it may seem
To me thats everything

Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold, I will feel a glow
Just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you

I fell in love with you the first time I looked into
Them There Eyes
And you have a certain lil cute way of flirtin'
With Them There Eyes

They make me feel so happy
They make me feel so blue
I'm fallin', no stallin'

There is no greater love
Than what I feel for you
No greater love, no heart so true

There is no greater thrill
Than what you bring to me
No sweeter song
Than what you sing to me

You're just too marvelous, too marvelous for words
Like "glorious", "glamorous" and that old standby "amorous".
It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren't swell enough.

You're much too much, and just too "very, very"
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary.
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds

I'm travellin' light
Because my man has gone
And from now on
I'm travellin' light
He said goodbye
And took my heart away
So from today
I'm travellin' light

Arthur Swanstrom / Hanley

Like a little old fashioned music box
With just one tune to play
My heart keeps singin' I love you
Twenty four hours a day

Like a little old fashioned music box

I'm just about fed up
I've finally had my fill
Of sitting around and crying in my beer
I've drunk the bitter cup
I've downed the bitter pill
While waiting for the silver lining to appear
I'm going to stack my blues up
On the very highest shelf

Lyrics by: Harry Woods
----------------------------
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do
Ooh, ooh, ooh
What a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your heart's fluttering all day long

Maybe he’s not much, just another man
Doing what he can
But what does she care
When a woman loves a man
She’ll just string along
All through thick and thin
Till his ship comes in
It’s always that way

Why did I always depend on you
When I knew that you'd end
In another's arms?
As a rule I'm no fool
But it seems where love's concerned
There's no rule for a fool
Who would let his heart be burned

Without your love
I'm like a song without words
Just like a nest without birds
Without your love
Fine sun above
Will never shine at my door
My life holds nothing in store
Without your love

Irvin graham / s. bickley reichner

You better go now
Because I like you much, too much
You have a way with you
You ought to know now
Just why I like you very much
The night was gay with you

You showed me the way
When I was someone in distress
A heart in search of happiness
You showed me the way

My sky was so gray
I never knew I'd feel a thrill
I couldn't dream a dream until

You've changed

That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed

You've changed

You don't have to have a hanker
To be a broker or a banker
No siree, just simply be
My mother's son-in-law.
Needn't even think of tryin'
To be a mighty social lion
Sipping tea, if you'll be
My mother's son-in-law,
