- Almost Blue
Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost
All the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
- Alone Together
Alone together, beyond the crowd
Above the world, we're not too proud
To cling together, we're strong
As long as we're together
Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless night, were not in vain
For we're together and what is there
- Alone Together Тоскливая

Chet Baker
This CD is filled with slow, sultry, sexy tunes that seem to drag a little behind the beat. Biographer James Gavin called it a "junkie beat". Baker is paired with some great sidemen, with Evans and Adams taking some great solos. Just listen to the opening lines of "Alone Together", and you've set the mood for this recording. The CD closes with a Baker composition not found on the original LP release.

- Born to Be Blue
Some folks were meant to live in clover
but they are such a chosen few
and clovers being green
is something i've never seen
'cause i was born to be blue
When there's a yellow moon above me
they say there's moonbeams i shoul view
- Come Rain Or Come Shine
"Embraceable You", 1957
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you,
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain and deep as a river,
Come rain or come shine.
Well I guess when you met me
- Do It Hard Way
Do it the hard way and it's easy sailing
Do it the hard way and it's hard to loose
Only the soft way has a chance of failing
You have to choose
I tried the hard way when I tried to get you
You took the soft way when you said, "We'll see"
Darling, now I let you do it the hard way

- Everything happens to me
I make a date for golf -
You can bet you life it rains.
I try to give a party -
And the guy upstairs complains.
I guess I'll go thru life;
Just catchin' colds and missin' trains,
Ev'rything happens to me.
- For Heaven's Sake
For heaven's sake let's fall in love
It's no mistake to call it love
An angel's holding hands with me
How heavenly heaven can be
Here is romance for us to try
Here is a chance we can't deny
While heaven's giving us a break
- I Fall In Love Too Easily
I fall in love too easily
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard
For love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled
'Cause I've been fooled in the past
But still I fall in love so easily
- I Get Along Without You Very Well
I get along without you very well
Of course, i do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves
Then i recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course, i do
But i get along without you very well
- I May be Wrong
I may be wrong but I think you're wonderful
I may be wrong but I think you're swell
I like your style say, I think it's marvelous
I'm always wrong so how can I tell
Deuces to me are all aces
Life is to me just a bore
Faces are all open spaces
- I was born to be blue
Some folks were meant to live in clover
But they are such a chosen few
And clover being green is something I've never seen
'Cause I was born to be blue
When there's a yellow moon above me
They say there's moonbeams I should view
But moonbeams being gold are something I can't behold
- I'm A Fool To Want You
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, to share a kiss the devil has known
Time and time again i said i'd leave you
Time and time again i went away
And then would come a time when i would need you
- I'm Old Fashioned
"It Could Happen To You", 1958
I’m old fashioned, I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things
The sound of rain upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings
This years fancies are passing fancies
But sighing sighs, holding hands
- Imagination
Imagination is funny, it makes a cloudy day sunny
Makes a bee think of honey just as I think of you
Imagination is crazy, your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy "What to do, what to do?"
Have you ever felt a gentle touch and then a kiss
And then and then, find it's only your imagination again?
- Like Someone in Love
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings
And to sing like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud
And feeling like someone in love.
- Look For The Silver Lining
Look for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue.
Remember some where the sun is shining,
And so the right thing to do,
Is make it shine for you.
A heart, full of joy and gladness,
Will always banish sadness and strife.
So always look for the silver lining,
- My Buddy
Nights are long since you went away,
I think about you all through the day,
My buddy, my buddy, no buddy quite so true.
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand,
Just long to know that you understand,
My buddy, my buddy, your buddy misses you
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand,
- My Foolish Heart
The night is like a lovely tune, beware my foolish heart!
How white the ever constant moon, take care, my foolish heart!
There's a line between love and fascination,
That's hard to see on an evening such as this,
For they give the very same sensation.
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss.
Your lips are much too close to mine, beware my foolish heart!
But should our eager lips combine, then let the fire start.
- My Funny Valentine
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you’re my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than greek
- My Ideal
Long ago my heart and mind
Got together and designed
The wonderful girl for me
Oh what a fantasy
Thought the ideal of my heart
Can't be ordered a la carte
I wonder if she will be
- Old Devil Moon
I looked at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the sky
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and your glance makes this romance too hot to handle
- She Was Too Good To Me
She was too good to me
how can I get along now.
So close she stood to me
everything seems so wrong now.
She would have brought me the sun
making me smile
that was her fun.
- Show Me
Don't talk of stars, burning above
If you're in love, show me
Tell me not dreams, filled with desire
If you're on fire, show me
Never do I ever want to hear another word
There isn't one, I haven't heard
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream
- Someone to Watch over Me
There’s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, "seek and ye shall find"
So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

- That Old Feeling
I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling
The moment you came by, I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye, my heart stood still
Once again, I seemed to have that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There'll be no new romance for me, it's foolish to start
- The thrill is gone
he thrill is gone
the thrill is gone
i can see it in your eyes
i can hear it in your sighs
feel your touch and realize
the thrill is gone
the nights are cold
- There Will Never Be Another You
There will be
Many other nights
Like this
And I'll be
Standing here
With someone new
There will be
Other songs to sing
- They All Laughed
"Embraceable You", 1957
They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly
- This is Always
This isn't sometimes, this is always
This isn't maybe, this is always
This is love, the real beginning of forever
This isn't just mid summer madness
A passing glow, a moment's gladness
Yes it's love, I knew it on the night we met
- Time After Time
I tell myself that I’m
so lucky to be loving you
so lucky to be
the one you run to see
in the evening when the day is through
I only know what I know
the passing years will show
- You're Driving Me Crazy
You! You're driving me crazy!
What did I do?
Oh, what did I do?
My tears for you make everything hazy,
Clouding the skies of blue!
How true!
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me,
- Я Дура хочу тебя,а ты...
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, to share a kiss the devil has known
Time and time again i said i'd leave you
Time and time again i went away
And then would come a time when i would need you
