Lazy Moon come out soon
Make my poor heart beat warmer
Light the way bright as day
For my sweet little charmer
She's to meet me in the lane tonight
If the sky is bright and clear
Oh moon don't keep me waiting here tonight
Watching and awaiting
Heart a palpitatin'
Longing for my lady love so dear
Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon
Why don't you show your face above the hill
Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon
You can make me happy if you will
When my lady sees your light a peepin'
then I know her promise she'll be keepin'
tell me whats the matter, are you sleepin'
Lazy Moon

Goetz-Leslie-Meyer

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everybody's been knowin', to a weddin' they're goin'
An' for weeks they've been sewin' every Susie and Sal' . . .

They're congregatin' ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
For me an' my gal ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
The Parson's waitin' ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
For me and my gal ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,
Or three or four, or more,
In Loveland, for me an' my gal . . .

See the relatives there, lookin' over the pair,
They can tell at a glance, it's a loving romance,
It's a wonderful sight, as the families unite,
See it makes the boy proud, as he says to the crowd . . .

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everyone's been knowin' ( all our friends and our relations! )
To a weddin' they're goin' ( will be at the railroad station! )
An' for weeks they've been sewin' ( or, they'll send congratulations! )
Every Susie and Sal' ( . . . for me an' my gal! )

They're congregatin' for me an' my gal,
The Parson's waitin' for me and my gal,
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,
( Or three or four, ) or more, ( or more! )
In Loveland! ( Loveland! )
In Loveland! ( Loveland! )
In Loveland, for me an' my gal!

Jones-Kahn

Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don?t I try - to forget

It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "i have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn?t fall - ?til we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you

Some others I?ve seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn?t do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love
you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Berlin

Ev'rything went wrong
And the whole day long
I'd feel so blue
For the longest while
I forgot to smile
Then I met you
Now that my blue days have passed
Now that I've found you at last

I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always

When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand
I will understand
Always, always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always

Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year
But always


[2]
Dreams will all come true
Growing old with you
And time will fly
Caring each day more
Than the day before
Till spring rolls by
Then when the springtme has gone
Then will my love linger on

Donaldson-Kahn

Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee

A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous, he answers twice
Its really killin' that he's so willin' to make whoopee

Picture a little love nest
Down where the roses cling
Picture the same sweet love nest
And think what a year can bring

He's washin dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious he even sews
But don't forget folks,
Thats what you get folks, for makin' whoopee

McCarthy-Monaco

You made me love you
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes
Sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, dear
You made me feel so bad

You made me sigh for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do

Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

You made me sigh for
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do

Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

Fine

Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock,
to a lullaby in ragtime.
Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock,
play a lullaby in ragtime.
You can tell the sandman is on his way,
by the way,
that they play,
As still, as the trill, of a thrush, in a twilight high.

So you can hear the:-
Rhythm of the ripples on the side of the boat,

as you sail away to dreamland.
High above the moon you hear a silvery note,
as the sandman takes your hand.
So rock-a-by my baby,
don't you cry my baby,
sleepy-time is nigh.
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby,
So rock-a-by my baby,

don't you cry my baby,
sleepy-time is nigh.
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby,

Adams-Hough-Howard-Orlob

You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
And each has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune,
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Does it ever occur to you later my boy, that she's prob'ly doing the same?

If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue,
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear,
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.

I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how,
I wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now.

Berlin

Gone is the romance that was so divine.
'tis broken and cannot be mended.
You must go your way,
And i must go mine.
But now that our love dreams have ended...

What'll i do
When you are far away
And i am blue
What'll i do?

What'll i do?
When i am wond'ring who
Is kissing you
What'll i do?

What'll i do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When i'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll i do?



What'll i do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?

When i'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll i do?

Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
And maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you

Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for crying the blues
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you

Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start
Then left with a heart
That is breaking

Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I'll get
But nevertheless, I'm in love with you

Jenkins

As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasure
And so I happily concede

This is all I ask
This is all I need

Beautiful girl, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunset, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Grownups seldom understand

Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true
Before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than spring

[No lyrics]

Carroll-McCarthy

I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky.

Some fellas look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellas make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me.

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.

Some fellas look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellas make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me.

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.

Hammerstein-Kern

We couldn't make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you ? Couldn't I ? Couldn't we ?

Make believe our lips are blended
In a fountain kiss ...............
..... make believe I love you
For to tell the true, I do.

Agar-Schwartz-Wever

Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through if only you trust in me.

Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me and I'll be strong
We can get along, as long as you trust in me.

While there's a moon on high
While there are birds to fly
While there is you and I
I can be sure I love you.

Stand beside me all the while
Face the future with a smile
Trust in me and I'll be worthy of you.

Arlen-Harburg-Rose

Say it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

It's a honky-tonk parade
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Rainger-Robin

Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse and nothing in my purse
And chuckles when the preacher said : ‘For better or for worse'
How lovely it was.

Thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons, ................................
How ............................................. burning toast and prunes
How lovely it was!

We said goodbye with a highball
Then I got as high as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss
Hooray for us.

So thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore, darling, how are you ?
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
.............. glad I met you, cheerio and to ............ you so much.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the cloouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Bird fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh why can't I?
