Gonna Find Me a Bluebird Marvin Rainwater Gonna find me a bluebird Let him sing me a song Cause my heart's been broken Much too long Gonna chase me a rainbow Thru' a heaven of blue Cause I'm all through crying over you. There was a time my love was needed My life completed, my dreams come true Then came the time my life was haunted My love unwanted, all for you. Gonna find me a bluebird Let him sing me a song Cause my heart's been broken Much too long Gonna chase me a rainbow Thru' a heaven of blue Cause I'm all through crying over you. |

Sentimental Journey Doris Day Words and music by Bud Green, Les Brown and Ben Homer Gonna take a sentimental journey Gonna set my heart at ease Gonna make a sentimental journey To renew old memories Got my bag, got my reservation Spent each dime I could afford Like a child in wild anticipation Long to hear that "All aboard" Seven, that's the time we leave, at seven I'll be waitin' up for heaven Countin' every mile of railroad track That takes me back Never thought my heart could be so yearny Why did I decide to roam? Gotta take that sentimental journey Sentimental journey home Sentimental journey! |

Billie Holiday » Stormy Weather Ted Koehler / Harold Arlen Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together, keeps rainin' all the time Life is bare, gloom and mis'ry everywhere Stormy weather Just can't get my poorself together, I'm weary all the time So weary all the time When he went away the blues walked in and met me. If he stays away old rockin' chair will get me. All I do is pray the Lord above will let me walk in the sun once more. Can't go on, ev'ry thing I had is gone Stormy weather Since my man and I ain't together, keeps rainin' all the time |

Precious Memories Precious memories, unseen angels Sent from somewhere to my soul How they linger, ever near me And the sacred scenes unfold. Precious memories, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious, sacred scenes unfold. Precious father, loving mother Fly across the lonely years And old home scenes of my childhood In fond memory appear. In the stillness of the midnight Echoes from the past I hear Old-time singing, gladness bringing From that lovely land somewhere. I remember mother praying Father, too, on bended knee Sun is sinking, shadows falling But their prayers still follow me. As I travel on life's pathway Know not what the years may hold As I ponder, hope grows fonder Precious memories flood my soul. (traditional lyrics) |

If I Give My Heart to You |
If I give my heart to you Will you handle it with care? Will you always treat me tenderly? And in every way be fair? If I give my heart to you Will you give me all your love? Will you swear that you'll be true to me? By the light that shines above? |

If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I’d like to do Is to save every day Till eternity passes away Just to spend them with you If I could make days last forever If words could make wishes come true I’d save every day like a treasure and then, Again, I would spend them with you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I’ve looked around enough to know That you’re the one I want to go Through time with If I had a box just for wishes And dreams that had never come true The box would be empty Except for the memory Of how they were answered by you But there never seems to be enough time To do the things you want to do Once you find them I’ve looked around enough to know That you’re the one I want to go Through time with |

VAYA CON DIOS |
Les Paul And Mary Ford Now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping; Now the time has come to part, the time for weeping. Vaya con Dios my darling, May God be with you my love. Wherever you may be, I'll be beside you, Although you're many million dreams away. Each night I'll say a pray'r, a pray'r to guide you To hasten ev'ry lonely hour of ev'ry lonely day. Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow, But the memories we share are there to borrow. |
When I was just a little girl I asked my mother What will I be? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here's what she said to me Que sera sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera sera What will be, will be When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart, What lies ahead? Will we have rainbows Day after day? Here's what my sweetheart said Que sera sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera sera What will be, will be Now I have Children of my own They ask their mother, What will I be? Will I be handsome? Will I be rich? I tell them tenderly Que sera sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera sera What will be, will be Que Sera Sera |
QUE SERA SERA |

MEMORIES (from Cats) "Midnight, not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and a streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn’t give in When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days The stale cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun" |
