Only the Lonely
|
|
Each place I go only the lonely go Some little small café The songs I know only the lonely know Each melody recalls a love that used to be The dreams I dream only the lonely dream Of lips as warm as May That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care And you recall each fun time Those picnics at the beach when love was new It well could be the one time A hopeless little dream like that comes true If you find love hang on to each caress And never let love go For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness The heartbreak only the lonely know |

Angel Eyes
|
|
Hey drink up all you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The laugh and the drinks on me Try to think that love's not around Still it's uncomfortably near My poor old heart ain't gaining any ground Because my angel eyes ain't here Angel eyes, that old Devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my love's mispent Mispent with angel eyes tonight So drink up all of you people Order anything you see And have fun you happy people The drink and the laughs on me Pardon me but I got to run The fact's uncommonly clear I got to find who's now the number one And why my angel eyes ain't here Excuse me while I disappear |

What's New?
|
|
What's new? How is the world treating you? You haven't changed a bit Lovely as ever, I must admit What's new? How did that romance come through? We haven't met since then Gee, but it's nice to see you again What's new? Probably I'm boring you But seeing you is grand And you were sweet to offer your hand I understand. Adieu! Pardon my asking what's new Of course you couldn't know I haven't changed, I still love you so |

It's a Lonesome Old Town
|
|
It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, I'm lonely, as I can be. I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see. It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, How I wish you'd come back to me. I never knew how much I missed you, but now I can plainly see. It's a lonesome old town, when you're not around, How I wish you'd come back to me. How I wish you'd come back to me. |

Willow Weep for Me
|
|
Willow weep for me Willow weep for me Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea Listen to my plea Hear me willow and weep for me Gone my lovers dream Lovely summer dream Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream Sad as I can be Hear me willow and weep for me Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned Left my heart a-breaking, and making a moan Murmur to the night to hide its starry light So none will see me sighing and crying all alone Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me Oh, Weeping willow tree Weep in sympathy Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me When the shadows fall, hear me willow and weep for me |

Good-Bye
|
|
There is no great big ending No sunset in the sky There is no string ensemble And she doesn't even cry And just as I begin to say That we should make another try She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye There is no big explosion No tempest in the tea The world does not stop turning round There's no big tragedy Sitting in a coffee shop With cheesecake and some apple pie She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye Good-bye Said so easily Good-bye Said so quietly Good-bye good-bye good-bye Just two always strangers avoid each other's eyes One still make believing One still telling lies She tells me that I'm not to blame But when I ask the reason why She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye Good-bye Said so easily Good-bye Said so quietly Good-bye good-bye good-bye She reaches out across the table looks at me and quietly says good-bye |

Blues in the Night
|
|
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 night Now 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 right From 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 night My mama was right, there's blues in the night. |

Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry
|
|
The torch I carry is handsome It's worth its heartache in ransom Now when that twilight steals I know how the lady in the harbor feels When I want rain, I get sunny weather I'm just as blue, blue as the sky Since love has gone, I can't get myself together Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry My friend ask me out, but I tell them I'm busy I've got to get a new alibi I hang around at home, and ask myself: "Where is she?" Guess I'll hang my tears out to dry Dry little tear drops, my little tear drops Moving on a stream of dreams My little memories, those precious memories Remind me of our crazy schemes Then somebody says, just forget about her But I gave that treatment a try Strangely enough, I got along without her Then one day she passed me right by - oh well I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry |

Ebb Tide
|
|
First the tide rushes in Plants a kiss on the shore Then rolls out to sea And the sea is very still once more So I rush to your side Like the oncoming tide With one burning thought Will your arms open wide At last we're face to face And as we kiss through an embrace I can tell, I can feel You are love, you are real Really mine In the rain, in the dark, in the sun Like the tide at its ebb I'm at peace in the web Of your arms |

Spring Is Here
|
|
Once there was a thing called spring, When the world was writing verses like yours and mine. All the lads and girls would sing, When we sat at little tables and drank May wine. Now April, May, and June are sadly out of tune, life has stuck a pin in the balloon. Spring is here! Why doesn't my heart go dancing? Spring is here! Why isn't the waltz entrancing? No desire, no ambition leads me, maybe it's because nobody needs me? Spring is here! Why doesn't the breeze delight me? Stars appear! Why doesn't the night invite me? Maybe it's because nobody loves me, spring is here, I hear! |

Gone with the Wind
|
|
Gone with the wind, just like a leaf that has blown away. Gone with the wind, my romance has flown away. Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips, I had a lifetime of heaven on my fingertips. But now all is gone, gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart. Just like a flame, love burned brightly Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone, Gone with the wind. |

One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)
|
|
It's quarter to three, There's no one in the place 'cept you and me So set 'em' up Joe I got a little story I think you oughtta know We're drinking my friend to the end of a brief episode So Make it one for my baby And one more for the road I know the routine put another nickel in that there machine I'm feeling so bad Won't you make the music easy and sad I could tell you a lot But you gotta to be true to your code So make it one for my baby And one more for the road You'd never know it but buddy I'm a kind of poet And I've got a lot of things I wanna say And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me Till it's all, all talked away Well, that's how it goes And Joe I know you're gettin' Anxious to close So Thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind My bending your ear But this torch that I found It's gotta be drowned Or it soon might explode So make it one for my baby And one more for the road |
