A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square

That certain night, the night we met,

There was magic abroad in the air,
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn'd and smiled at me
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

The moon that lingered over London town;

Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love,
The whole darn world seemed upside down

The streets of town were paved with stars,

It was such a romantic affair,
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

INSTRUMENTAL

The moon that lingered over London town;

Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love,
The whole darn world seemed upside down

Our homeward step was just as light

As the tap dancing feet of Astair
And like an echo far away,
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
I know 'cause I was there, that night in Berkeley Square

Show Me

Words! Words! Words! I'm so sick of words!

I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?

Don't talk of stars Burning above; If you're in love,

Show me!
Tell me no dreams filled with desire. If you're on fire,
Show me!
Here we are together in the middle of the night!
Don't talk of spring! Just hold me tight!
Anyone who's ever been in love'll tell you that
This is no time for a chat!
Haven't your lips longed for my touch? Don't say how much,
Show me! Show me!
Don't talk of love lasting through time.
Make me no undying vow. Show me now!

Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!

Don't waste my time, Show me!
Please don’t implore, beg or beseech! Don’t make a speech! 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;
Say one more word and I'll scream!
Haven't your arms Hungered for mine?
Please don't "expl'ine," Show me! Show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow,
Show me now!

Smile

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

INSTRUMENTAL

That's the time you must keep on trying

Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Some Enchanted Evening

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger

You may see a stranger across a crowded room
And somehow you know, you'll know even then
That somewhere you'll see her again and again

Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing

You may hear her laughing across a crowded room
And night after night, as strange as it seems
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams

Who can explain it, who can tell you why?

Fools give you reasons, wise men never try

Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love

When you hear her call you across a crowded room
Then fly to her side and make her your own
Or all through your life, you may dream all alone

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy

He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way

He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
He's in the army now, a blowin' reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

They made him blow a bugle for his Uncle Sam

It really brought him down because he couldn't jam
The captain seemed to understand
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted a band
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

A toot, a toot, a toot diddelyada toot

He blows it eight to the bar, in boogie rhythm
He can't blow a note unless the bass and guitar is playin' with 'I'm
He makes the company jump when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
He was our boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
And when he plays boogie woogie bugle he was buzy as a bzzz bee
And when he plays he makes the company jump eight to the bar
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

Toot toot toot, toot diddelyada, toot diddelyada

Toot, toot, he blows it eight to the bar
He can't blow a note if the bass and guitar isn't with 'I'm
A a a and the company jumps when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B

He puts the boys asleep with boogie every night

And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright
They clap their hands and stamp their feet
Because they know how he plays when someone gives him a beat
He really breaks it up when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
Roses of Picardy

She is watching by the poplars,

Colinette with the sea-blue eyes,
She is watching and longing and waiting
Where the long white road-way lies.
And a song stirs in the silence,
As the wind in the boughs above.
She listens and starts and trembles,
'Tis the first little song of love:

‘Roses are shining in Picardy,

In the hush of the silver dew,
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy,
But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime,
And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy!
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart!’

And the years fly on for ever,

Till the shadows veil their skies,
But he loves to hold her little hands,
And look in her sea-blue eyes.
And she sees the road by the poplars,
Where they met in the by-gone years,
For the first little song of the roses
Is the last little song she hears:

Memory

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 the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn'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 street lamp 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

A dream is a wish your hearts makes

A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

Wishing you were somehow here again

You were once my one companion

You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered
Wishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here

Wishing I could hear your voice again

Knowing that I never would
Dreaming of you helped me to do
All that you dreamed I could

Passing bells and sculpted angels

Cold and monumental
Seem for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle

INSTRUMENTAL
Too many years fighting back tears
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we must say goodbye
Try to forgive teach me to live
Give me the strength to try

No more memories, no more silent tears

No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say goodbye
Help me say goodbye
