The Songs I Love lyrics - Perry Como
The songs they're playin' that we both romanced to,
Those lovely songs we stayed up late and danced to,
They taught me where my heart belongs,
These are the songs I love!
The tender melodies we often sighed to,
That special one we said good-bye and cried to,
Because they righted all the wrongs,
These are the songs I love!
The happy rhymes, the underscored,
The happy time when we found spring together.
The pretty themes, that underscored the pretty dreams,
That make us cling together!
These songs we'll call our own and face the years with,
We'll face the laughter, yes, and face the tears with,
They'll help us through the rain and shine,
These songs I love because these songs are yours and mine!
Those lovely songs we stayed up late and danced to,
They taught me where my heart belongs,
These are the songs I love!
The tender melodies we often sighed to,
That special one we said good-bye and cried to,
Because they righted all the wrongs,
These are the songs I love!
The happy rhymes, the underscored,
The happy time when we found spring together.
The pretty themes, that underscored the pretty dreams,
That make us cling together!
These songs we'll call our own and face the years with,
We'll face the laughter, yes, and face the tears with,
They'll help us through the rain and shine,
These songs I love because these songs are yours and mine!
I Left My Heart In San Francisco lyrics - Perry Como
I left my heart in San Francisco,
High on a hill, it calls to me,
To be where little cable cars,
Climb halfway to the stars,
The morning fog may chill the air,
I don't care!
My heart waits there, in San Francisco,
Above the blue and windy sea.
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
Your golden sun will shine for me
High on a hill, it calls to me,
To be where little cable cars,
Climb halfway to the stars,
The morning fog may chill the air,
I don't care!
My heart waits there, in San Francisco,
Above the blue and windy sea.
When I come home to you, San Francisco,
Your golden sun will shine for me
Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) lyrics - Perry Como
Fly Me to the Moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like,
On Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand,
In other words, darling kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more,
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore,
In other words, please be true,
In other words, I love you.
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like,
On Jupiter and Mars.
In other words, hold my hand,
In other words, darling kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more,
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore,
In other words, please be true,
In other words, I love you.
Slightly Out Of Tune (Desafinado) lyrics - Perry Como
Love is like a never ending melody,
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
But our song of love is slightly out of tune....
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich,
Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing,
Like the bossa nova love should swing....
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Now the song is different and the words don't even rhyme,
‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,
What good's a heart that's slightly out of tune?
Tune your heart with mine the way it used to be,
Join with me in harmony and sing a song of love,
We're bound to get in tune again before too long,
There'll be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won't be slightly out of tune, you'll sing along with me!
Poets have compared it to a symphony,
A symphony conducted by the lighting of the moon,
But our song of love is slightly out of tune....
Once your kisses raised me to a fever pitch,
Now the orchestration doesn't seem so rich,
Seems to me you've changed the tune we used to sing,
Like the bossa nova love should swing....
We used to harmonize two souls in perfect time,
Now the song is different and the words don't even rhyme,
‘Cause you forgot the melody our hearts would always croon,

We're bound to get in tune again before too long,
There'll be no Desafinado when your heart belongs to me completely
Then you won't be slightly out of tune, you'll sing along with me!
This Is All I Ask lyrics - Perry Como
Beautiful girls,
Walk a little slower,
When you walk by me!
Lingering sunsets,
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,
Grown-ups seldom understand!
Wandering rainbow,
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,
And I will stay younger than spring!
Wandering rainbow,
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,
And I will stay younger,
In every way younger,
Yes, I will stay younger than the spring!
Walk a little slower,
When you walk by me!
Lingering sunsets,
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,
Grown-ups seldom understand!
Wandering rainbow,
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,
And I will stay younger than spring!
Wandering rainbow,
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,
And I will stay younger,
In every way younger,
Yes, I will stay younger than the spring!

Days Of Wine And Roses lyrics - Perry Como
The days of wine and roses,
Laugh and run away,
Like a child at play,
Through a meadowland,
Toward a closing door,
A door marked never more,
That wasn't there before.
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!
Laugh and run away,
Like a child at play,
Through a meadowland,
Toward a closing door,
A door marked never more,
That wasn't there before.
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!
The lonely night discloses,
Just a passing breeze,
Filled with memories,
Of the golden smile,
That introduced me to,
The days of wine and roses,
And you!
Carnival lyrics - Perry Como
I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!
I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?
Will true love come my way,
On this carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!
I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?
Will true love come my way,
On this carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?
My Coloring Book lyrics - Perry Como
If you admire coloring books,
And lots of people do,
I've a new one for you!
A most unusual coloring book,
The kind you never see,
Crayons ready, crayons set,
Begin to color me!
These are the eyes that watched her,
As she walked away,
Color them gray!
This is the heart,
That thought she would always be true,
Color it blue!
These are the arms that held her,
And touched her,
Then lost her somehow,
Color them empty now!
This is the tie, I wore,
Until you came between,
Color it green!
This is the room I sleep in, and walk in, and weep in,
And hide in, that nobody sees,
Color it lonely please!
This is the girl that once I depended upon,
Color her gone!
And lots of people do,
I've a new one for you!
A most unusual coloring book,
The kind you never see,
Crayons ready, crayons set,
Begin to color me!
These are the eyes that watched her,
As she walked away,
Color them gray!
This is the heart,
That thought she would always be true,
Color it blue!
These are the arms that held her,
And touched her,
Then lost her somehow,
Color them empty now!
This is the tie, I wore,
Until you came between,
Color it green!
This is the room I sleep in, and walk in, and weep in,
And hide in, that nobody sees,
Color it lonely please!
This is the girl that once I depended upon,
Color her gone!
I Wanna Be Around lyrics - Perry Como
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Some somebody twice as smart as I!
A somebody who,
Will swear to be true,
Like you used to do with me,
Who will leave you to learn,
That misery loves company,
Wait and see!
I wanna be around to see how he does it,
When he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine!
And that's when I'll discover,
That revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applaudin'
From a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Like you broke mine!
When somebody breaks your heart,
Some somebody twice as smart as I!
A somebody who,
Will swear to be true,
Like you used to do with me,
Who will leave you to learn,
That misery loves company,
Wait and see!
I wanna be around to see how he does it,
When he breaks your heart to bits,
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine!
And that's when I'll discover,
That revenge is sweet,
As I sit there applaudin'
From a front row seat,
When somebody breaks your heart,
Like you broke mine!
When I Lost You lyrics - Perry Como
I lost the sunshine and roses,
I lost the heavens of blue,
I lost the beautiful rainbow,
I lost the morning dew.
I lost the angel who gave me,
Summer the whole winter through,
I lost the gladness, that turned into sadness,
When I lost you!
I lost the heavens of blue,
I lost the beautiful rainbow,
I lost the morning dew.
I lost the angel who gave me,
Summer the whole winter through,
I lost the gladness, that turned into sadness,
When I lost you!
What Kind Of Fool Am I? lyrics - Perry Como
(originally by Anthony Newley)
What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one that I have been thinkin' of!
What kind of man is this, an empty shell?
A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell!
What kind of lips are these, that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am!
Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am!
What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love?
It seems that I'm the only one that I have been thinkin' of!
What kind of man is this, an empty shell?
A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell!
What kind of lips are these, that lied with every kiss?
That whispered empty words of love that left me alone like this?
Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am!
Why can't I fall in love like any other man?
And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am!

Lollipops And Roses lyrics - Perry Como
Tell her you care, each time you speak,
Make it her birthday each day of the week,
Bring her nice things, sugar and spice things,
Roses and Lollipops,
And Lollipops and Roses . . .
One day she'll smile, next day she'll cry,
Minute to minute, you'll never know why!
Coax her, pet her, better yet get her,
Roses and Lollipops,
And Lollipops and Roses . . .
We try acting grown up, but as a rule,
We're all little children, fresh from school . . .
So, carry her books, that's how it starts,
Fourteen to forty, they're kids in their hearts . . .
Keep them handy, flowers and candy,
Roses and Lollipops,
And Lollipops and Roses . . .
Make it her birthday each day of the week,
Bring her nice things, sugar and spice things,
Roses and Lollipops,
And Lollipops and Roses . . .
One day she'll smile, next day she'll cry,
Minute to minute, you'll never know why!
Coax her, pet her, better yet get her,
Roses and Lollipops,
And Lollipops and Roses . . .
We try acting grown up, but as a rule,
We're all little children, fresh from school . . .
So, carry her books, that's how it starts,
Fourteen to forty, they're kids in their hearts . . .
Keep them handy, flowers and candy,
Roses and Lollipops,
And Lollipops and Roses . . .
The Sweetest Sounds lyrics Perry Como
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear,
Are still inside my head!
The kindest words I'll ever know,
Are waiting to be said!
The most entrancing sight of all,
Is yet for me to see!
And the dearest love in all the world,
Is waiting somewhere for me,
Is waiting somewhere,
Somewhere for me!
And the dearest love in all the world,
Is waiting somewhere for me,
Is waiting somewhere,
Somewhere for me!
Are still inside my head!
The kindest words I'll ever know,
Are waiting to be said!
The most entrancing sight of all,
Is yet for me to see!
And the dearest love in all the world,
Is waiting somewhere for me,
Is waiting somewhere,
Somewhere for me!
And the dearest love in all the world,
Is waiting somewhere for me,
Is waiting somewhere,
Somewhere for me!
More Than Likely lyrics - Perry Como
More than likely you're leading me on,
More than likely I'll fall,
More than likely, I'll hear the music,
Where there's no music at all!
And, more than likely you'll ask for the stars,
And I'll reach for a few...
My heart tells me to run away,
But that's not so easy to do!
When it's more than likely I'm so in love,
And more than likely with you!
More than likely I'll fall,
More than likely, I'll hear the music,
Where there's no music at all!
And, more than likely you'll ask for the stars,
And I'll reach for a few...
My heart tells me to run away,
But that's not so easy to do!
When it's more than likely I'm so in love,
And more than likely with you!
Moonglow & Theme From "Picnic" lyrics - Perry Como
On a picnic morning,
Without a warning,
I looked at you,
And somehow I knew...
It must have been moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been moonglow,
That led me straight to you...
I still hear you sayin'
Dear heart hold me fast,
And I start in prayin'
Oh lord, please let this last,
We... seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
An' now when there's moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That moonglow gave me you...
You and I in the sunshine,
We strolled the fields and far,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That moonglow gave me you,
That moonglow gave me you,
That moonglow gave me you...
Without a warning,
I looked at you,
And somehow I knew...
It must have been moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
It must have been moonglow,
That led me straight to you...
I still hear you sayin'
Dear heart hold me fast,
And I start in prayin'
Oh lord, please let this last,
We... seem to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seem to come from everywhere,
An' now when there's moonglow,
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That moonglow gave me you...
You and I in the sunshine,
We strolled the fields and far,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere,
And now when there's moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember,
That moonglow gave me you,
That moonglow gave me you,
That moonglow gave me you...
My Favorite Things lyrics - Perry Como
Raindrops on roses,
And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles,
And warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages,
Tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things...
Cream colored ponies,
An' crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells an' sleigh bells,
An' schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things...
Girls in white dresses,
With blue satin sashes,
Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters,
That melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things...
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad...
Roses....hmmm kittens...
Kettles.......mittens...
La dee da, la dee da,
La dee da, da,
These are a few of my favorite things...
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And little by little my heavy heart sings...
And then I don't feel so bad...
And whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles,
And warm woollen mittens,
Brown paper packages,
Tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things...
Cream colored ponies,
An' crisp apple strudels,
Doorbells an' sleigh bells,
An' schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
These are a few of my favorite things...
Girls in white dresses,
With blue satin sashes,
Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters,
That melt into springs,
These are a few of my favorite things...
When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,

And then I don't feel so bad...

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I'm feelin' sad,

And little by little my heavy heart sings...
And then I don't feel so bad...
Once Upon A Time lyrics - Perry Como
Once upon a time,
A girl with moonlight in her eyes,
Put her hand in mine,
And said she loved me so . . .
But that was once upon a time,
Very long ago!
Once upon a hill,
we sat beneath the willow tree,
Counting all the stars,
And waiting for the dawn,
But that was once upon a time,
Now, the tree is gone!
How the breeze ruffled through her hair,
How we always laughed,
As though tomorrow wasn't there . . .
We were young,
And didn't have a care,
Where did it go?
Once upon a time,
The world was sweeter than we knew,
Everything was ours,
How happy we were then . . .
But, somehow, once upon a time,
Never comes again!
A girl with moonlight in her eyes,
Put her hand in mine,
And said she loved me so . . .
But that was once upon a time,
Very long ago!
Once upon a hill,
we sat beneath the willow tree,
Counting all the stars,
And waiting for the dawn,
But that was once upon a time,
Now, the tree is gone!
How the breeze ruffled through her hair,
How we always laughed,
As though tomorrow wasn't there . . .
We were young,
And didn't have a care,
Where did it go?
Once upon a time,
The world was sweeter than we knew,
Everything was ours,
How happy we were then . . .
But, somehow, once upon a time,
Never comes again!
Can't Help Falling In Love lyrics - Perry Como
(I can't help falling in love with you.)
Wise men say, only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I can't help falling in love with you.
(Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes,)
Some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I can't help falling in love with you,
For I can't help falling in love with you.
Wise men say, only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you.
Shall I stay, would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you.
Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes,
Some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I can't help falling in love with you.
(Like a river flows, slowly to the sea,
Darling so it goes,)
Some things are meant to be.
Take my hand, take my whole life too.
For I can't help falling in love with you,
For I can't help falling in love with you.
What's New? lyrics - Perry Como
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!
Of course, you couldn't know,
I haven't changed, I still love you so,
I still love you so!
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!
Of course, you couldn't know,
I haven't changed, I still love you so,
I still love you so!
Somebody Cares lyrics - Perry Como
Somebody cares,
When your heart is feeling blue,
As you climb your lonely stair,
Somebody cares!
Somebody knows,
When each dream falls through,
Though you think it never shows,
Somebody knows!
Somebody hears,
Every wish you make,
As you fall asleep in tears,
Somebody hears!
Somebody knew,
How I needed someone's love,
Then I looked and there was you,
Somebody knew!
Somebody heard my prayers,
Somebody cares!
When your heart is feeling blue,
As you climb your lonely stair,
Somebody cares!
Somebody knows,
When each dream falls through,
Though you think it never shows,
Somebody knows!
Somebody hears,
Every wish you make,
As you fall asleep in tears,
Somebody hears!
Somebody knew,
How I needed someone's love,
Then I looked and there was you,
Somebody knew!
Somebody heard my prayers,
Somebody cares!
I'll Remember April lyrics - Perry Como
This lovely day will lengthen into evening,
We'll sigh good-bye to all we've ever had,
Alone where we have walked together,
I'll remember April and be glad....
I'll be content, you loved me once in April,
Your lips were warm, and love an' spring were new,
But I'm not afraid of autumn, and her sorrow,
For I'll remember, (I'll remember)
April and you! (I'll remember)
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while...
I won't forget, but I won't be lonely, (Oh, no...)
I'll remember April, and I'll smile...
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while (a little while)
I won't forget, but I won't be lonely (I won't be lonely)
I'll remember April, and I'll smile...
I won't forget but I won't be lonely, no...
I'll remember April, and I'll smile!
This lovely day will fade away....
We'll sigh good-bye to all we've ever had,
Alone where we have walked together,
I'll remember April and be glad....
I'll be content, you loved me once in April,
Your lips were warm, and love an' spring were new,
But I'm not afraid of autumn, and her sorrow,
For I'll remember, (I'll remember)
April and you! (I'll remember)
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while...
I won't forget, but I won't be lonely, (Oh, no...)
I'll remember April, and I'll smile...
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes,
For flames and love live such a little while (a little while)
I won't forget, but I won't be lonely (I won't be lonely)
I'll remember April, and I'll smile...
I won't forget but I won't be lonely, no...
I'll remember April, and I'll smile!
This lovely day will fade away....
Moon River lyrics - Perry Como
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day,
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way,
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day . . .
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!
Moon River, and me . . .
I'm crossing you in style, some day,
Oh dream maker, you heart breaker,
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way,
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day . . .
Two drifters, off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world to see,
We're after the same rainbows end,
Waitin' ‘round the bend,
My Huckleberry friend,
Moon River, and me!
Moon River, and me . . .

All By Myself lyrics - Perry Como
I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older all by myself
All by myself in the mornin'
All by myself in the night
I sit alone with a table and a chair
So unhappy there, playin' solitaire
All by myself, I get lonely
Watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older all by myself
All by myself, I get lonely
Watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older all by myself
I hate to grow older all by myself
All by myself in the mornin'
All by myself in the night
I sit alone with a table and a chair
So unhappy there, playin' solitaire
All by myself, I get lonely
Watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older all by myself
All by myself, I get lonely
Watchin' the clock on the shelf
I'd love to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
I hate to grow older all by myself
I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face lyrics - Perry Como
I've grown accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
She whistles night an' noon
Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content, before we met
Surely I could always be that way again
And yet, I've grown accustomed to her looks
Accustomed to her voice, accustomed to her face
She almost makes the day begin
I've grown accustomed to the tune
She whistles night an' noon
Her smiles, her frowns, her ups, her downs
Are second nature to me now
Like breathing out and breathing in
I was serenely independent and content, before we met
Surely I could always be that way again
And yet, I've grown accustomed to her looks
Accustomed to her voice, accustomed to her face
So In Love lyrics - Perry Como
Strange dear but true dear
When I'm close to you dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you, am I
Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know, darling, why?
So in love with you, am I
In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy, delirious
When I knew that you could care
So taunt me and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours 'till I die
So in love, so in love
So in love with you, my love, am I
When I'm close to you dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you, am I
Even without you
My arms fold about you
You know, darling, why?
So in love with you, am I
In love with the night mysterious
The night when you first were there
In love with my joy, delirious
When I knew that you could care
So taunt me and hurt me
Deceive me, desert me
I'm yours 'till I die
So in love, so in love
So in love with you, my love, am I

Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear...
Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
everyone is sayin' you don't love me
say it isn't so!
Everywhere I go
everyone I know
whispers that you're growin' tired of me
say it isn't so!
People say that you
found somebody new
and it won't be long before you leave me
say it isn't true!
Say that everything is still OK
that's all I want to know
and what they're sayin'
say it isn't so!

...and it won't be long before you leave me
say it isn't true!
Say that everything is still OK

and what they're sayin'

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
[instrumental break]
Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!
Maybe I should have saved
those left-over dreams
funny, but here's that rainy day!
Here's that rainy day
they told me about
and I laughed at the thought
that it might turn out this way!
Where is that worn-out wish
that I threw aside,
after it brought my lover near?
Funny how love becomes
a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here!
[instrumental break]
Funny how love becomes

All I Do Is Dream Of You lyrics - Perry Como
All I do is dream of you the whole night through
With the dawn, I still go on dreamin' of you
You're every thought, you're every thing
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring
And were there more than twenty four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content, dreamin' away
When skies are gray, skies are blue
Morning, noon and night time too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you
When skies are gray, skies are blue
Morning, noon and night time too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you
With the dawn, I still go on dreamin' of you
You're every thought, you're every thing
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring
And were there more than twenty four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content, dreamin' away
When skies are gray, skies are blue
Morning, noon and night time too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you
When skies are gray, skies are blue
Morning, noon and night time too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you
Gigi lyrics - Perry Como
Gigi, am I a fool without a mind
Or have I merely been too blind to realize?
Oh Gigi, why you've been growin' up
Before my very eyes
Gigi, you're not at all
The funny awkward little girl I knew
Oh no, overnight there's been
A breathless change in you
Gigi, why you were tremblin' on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star?
Oh Gigi, have I been standin'
Up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you
The way you are?
Oh Gigi, have I been standin'
Up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you
The way you are?
Or have I merely been too blind to realize?
Oh Gigi, why you've been growin' up
Before my very eyes
Gigi, you're not at all
The funny awkward little girl I knew
Oh no, overnight there's been
A breathless change in you
Gigi, why you were tremblin' on the brink
Was I out yonder somewhere blinkin' at a star?
Oh Gigi, have I been standin'
Up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you
The way you are?
Oh Gigi, have I been standin'
Up too close or back too far?
When did your sparkle turn to fire
And your warmth become desire?
Oh, what miracle has made you
The way you are?
The Way You Look Tonight lyrics - Perry Como
Someday, when I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it 'cause I love you
just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight
Oh, but you're lovely
With your smile so warm and your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight
With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart
Lovely, never, never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it 'cause I love you
just the way you look tonight
Just the way you look tonight
Thank Heaven For Little Girls / You Were Meant For Me / A Fellow Needs A Girl lyrics - Perry Como
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear...
Thank heaven for little girls
for little girls get bigger every day!
Thank heaven for little girls
they grow up in the most delightful way!
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
one day will flash and send you crashin' thru the ceilin'
Thank heaven for little girls
thank heaven for them all,
no matter where no matter who
for without them, what would little boys do?
[instrumental break]
Thank heaven... thank heaven...
Thank heaven for little girls!
You were meant for me
I was meant for you!
Nature patterned you, an' when she was done
you were all the sweet things rolled in one!
You're like a plaintive melody
that never lets me free
I'm content, the angels must have sent you
and they meant you just for me!
You...
were...
meant...
for me!
I...
was...

I'm content,
the angels must have sent you
and they meant you
just for me!
A fella needs a girl, to sit by his side
At the end of a weary day
To sit by his side and listen to him talk
And agree with the things he'll say!
A fella needs a girl, to hold in his arms
When the rest of the world goes wrong
To hold in his arms and know that she believes
That her fella is wise an' strong!
When things go right and his job's well done
He wants to share the prize he's won
If no one shares, no one cares
Where's the fun of a job well done, or a prize you've won?
A fella needs a home, his own kind of home
But to make his dream come true
A fella needs a girl, his own kind of girl
My kind of girl is you!

You Alone / I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter / A Portrait Of My Love lyrics - Perry Como
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear...
You alone, you alone,
are the dream I have known,
bringing love to my lonely heart!
Now there's heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
Now that your eyes have told me,
You are my love my own,
Come to my arms and hold me,
I live for you alone!
Solo tu, solo tu...
[Italian]
Now there's heaven in view,
Now the dream has come true,
For tonight I have you alone!
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
I'm gonna write words so sweet
they're gonna knock me off my feet
a lot of kisses on the bottom
I'll be glad I got them
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better"
and close with love the way you do
I'm gonna sit right down an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came from you!
I'm gonna sit right down
an' write myself a letter
and make believe it came
...from you!
There could never be a portrait of my love
for nobody could paint a dream!
You will never see a portrait of my love
for miracles are never seen!
Anyone who sees her,
soon forgets the Mona Lisa!
It would take I know, a Michael Angelo,
and he would need the glow of dawn
that paints the sky above
to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
...yes, he would need the glow of dawn
that paints the sky above
to try an' paint a portrait of my love!
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just for me, Mr. C., just for me,
and everybody else will disappear...

Light up your face with gladness,
hide every trace of sadness,

You Are Never Far Away From Me lyrics - Perry Como
You are never far away from me,
When we part I hold your memory!
You linger in my dreams,
When day has flown...
And through the lonely night,
I'm not alone!
When two sweethearts care, as you and I,
There's no sadness in the word, good-bye!
Because you're always in my heart my love,
Wherever I may be,
You are never far away from me!
When we part I hold your memory!
You linger in my dreams,
When day has flown...
And through the lonely night,
I'm not alone!
When two sweethearts care, as you and I,
There's no sadness in the word, good-bye!
Because you're always in my heart my love,
Wherever I may be,
You are never far away from me!
When You And I Were Young, Maggie lyrics - Perry Como
(the green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung!)
I wandered today to the hill, maggie,
To watch the scene below,
The creek and the creakin' old mill, maggie,
As we used to do long ago!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung...
The creakin' old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and I were young!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung,
The creakin' old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and I were young,
Since you and I were young,
Since you and I were young!
Where first the daisies sprung!)
I wandered today to the hill, maggie,
To watch the scene below,
The creek and the creakin' old mill, maggie,
As we used to do long ago!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung...
The creakin' old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and I were young!
The green grove is gone from the hill, maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung,
The creakin' old mill is still, maggie,
Since you and I were young,
Since you and I were young,
Since you and I were young!
Young At Heart lyrics - Perry
[instrumental verse]
Fairy tales can come true,
It can happen to you,
If you're young at heart!
(Young at heart!)
For it's hard you will find
To be narrow of mind,
If you're young at heart!
(Young at heart!)
You can go to extremes,
With impossible schemes,
You can laugh when your dreams
Fall apart at the seams...
And life gets more exciting,
With each passing day,
An' love is either in your heart,
Or, on the way!
Don't you know that it's worth,
Every treasure on earth,
To be young at heart!
(Young at heart!)
For as rich as you are,
It's much better by far,
To be young at heart!
(Young at heart!)
And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!
And here is the best part,
You have a head start...
If you are among,
The very young at heart!
(Don't you know that it's worth,
Every treasure on earth,
To be young at heart!
For as rich as you are,
It's much better by far,
To be young at heart!)
And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!
And here is the best part,
You have a head start...
If you are among,
The very young...
at heart!

To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!
And here is the best part,
You have a head start...
If you are among,
The very young at heart!
(Don't you know that it's worth,
Every treasure on earth,
To be young at heart!
For as rich as you are,
It's much better by far,
To be young at heart!)
And if you should survive,
To a hundred an' five,
Look at all you'll derive
Outta bein' alive!
And here is the best part,
You have a head start...
If you are among,
The very young...
at heart!
I Was Young And Foolish lyrics - Perry Como
[instrumental opening]
I was young and foolish,
When I fell in love with you...
Not too wise in the ways of the world
Was I...
Young and foolish
Were the things I used to do,
Oh what silly tricks I would try!
I've changed my mind about many things,
Things I never knew before...
But though I've changed my mind about many things,
As time goes by,
I love you more!
If it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as I do,
Let me be young and foolish...
My whole life through!
(if it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as I do...)
Let me be young and foolish...
My whole life through!
I'll be young and foolish...
My whole life through!
I was young and foolish,
When I fell in love with you...
Not too wise in the ways of the world
Was I...
Young and foolish
Were the things I used to do,
Oh what silly tricks I would try!
I've changed my mind about many things,
Things I never knew before...
But though I've changed my mind about many things,
As time goes by,
I love you more!
If it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as I do,
Let me be young and foolish...
My whole life through!
(if it was young and foolish,
To fall in love with you,
And to love you with all my heart as I do...)
Let me be young and foolish...
My whole life through!
I'll be young and foolish...
My whole life through!
Too Young lyrics - Perry Como
[instrumental opening]
They try to tell us we're too young,
Too young to really be in love,
They say that love's a word,
A word we've only heard,
But can't begin to know the meaning of!
And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go...
And then, someday they may recall,
That we were not too young at all!
[instrumental verse]
And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go...
And then, someday they may recall,
We were not too young at all!
They try to tell us we're too young,
Too young to really be in love,
They say that love's a word,
A word we've only heard,
But can't begin to know the meaning of!
And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go...
And then, someday they may recall,
That we were not too young at all!
[instrumental verse]
And yet, we're not too young to know,
This love will last though years may go...
And then, someday they may recall,
We were not too young at all!
You Make Me Feel So Young lyrics - Perry Como
(So young!...
So young!... So young!...)
You make me feel so young,
You make me feel so Spring has sprung!
And every time I see you grin,
I'm such a happy, individual!
The moment that you speak,
I wanna go play hide an' seek!
I wanna go an' bounce the moon,
Just like a toy balloon!
You and I...
Are just like a couple of tots!
Runnin' across the meadow...
An' pickin' up lots of forget-me-nots!
You make me feel so young,
You make me feel there are songs to be sung...
Bells to be rung,
An' a wonderful fling to be flung!
And even when I'm old an' grey...
(And even when I'm old an' grey...)
I'm gonna feel the way I do today!
('Cause you...)
You make me feel so young!
[instrumental verse]
And even when I'm old an' grey...
(And even when I'm old an' grey...)
I'm gonna feel the way I do today!

Like Young lyrics - Perry Como
I'm out doin' the usual places,
And I'm livin' it, like young!
Then I dig me this face of all faces,
She's the craziest, like young!
She drinks coffee at Café Espresso,
She reads Kerouac, like young!
She goes where all the angry young men go,
Recites poetry, like young!
We start blowin' the pad about lovin'
And we're homin' it, like now!
We spin records on cloud number seven,
And she's reaching me, like wow!
(He's all unstrung,
‘Cause man, she's got him feelin' like young!
If she were to frosh him and go,
He's startin' to wear his hair again,
Just like a square again!)
I keep a getting' the kookiest notion.
I think maybe it's like love!
I've been feelin' a crazy emotion,
I think baby, it's like love!
Now we're ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville,
And we're makin' it like young!
Love... soft as April snow!
Love... warm as candle glow!
Love... love is easy go!
Now we're ridin' a rainbow to Cloudsville,
And we're makin' it like young!
[repeat last two lines twice to a whisper]

Hello, Young Lovers lyrics - Perry Como
[1951 version]
[slow instrumental opening]
Hello, young lovers, whoever you are,
I hope your troubles are few,
All my good wishes go with you tonight,
I've been in love like you.
Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star,
Be brave, an' faithful, an' true,
Cling very close to each other tonight,
I've been in love like you.
I know how it feels,
To have wings on your heels,
And to fly down the street in a trance!
You fly down the street,
On a chance that you'll meet,
And you meet, not really by chance.
Don't cry, young lovers, whatever you do,
Don't cry because I'm alone,
All of my memories are happy tonight,
I've had a love of my own.
I've had a love of my own like yours,
I've had a love of my own!

Especially For The Young lyrics - Perry Como
[instrumental & choral opening]
Let's share the thrills that were made,
Especially for the young!
The dreams that never will fade,
Especially for the young!
Let's find out why a tender sigh,
Is the sweetest song ever sung,
Especially for the young! (Especially for the young!)
Especially for the young! (Especially for the young!)
So take my hand,
And walk with me!
The night is young,
And so are we!
Let's lose our hearts in a kiss,
Especially for the young!
For nights are made just like this,
Especially for the young!
The moon is there for all to share,
But we will find it was hung,
Especially for the young!

Too Young To Go Steady lyrics - Perry Como
[instrumental & choral opening]
Too young to go steady,
Too young, I hear her say,
She says we're not ready,
But then why am I feelin' this way?
Too young, so she tells me,
She says, we'll have to wait,
Why wait . . .
'Till it may be too late?
Can she realize she drives me wild,
Is she made of stone?
Must she always treat me like a child,
Won't she ever own up, I'm grown up?
Someday, she'll be sorry,
Someday, just wait an' see!
She'll wish . . .
She'd gone steady . . .
With me!
(Can she realize she drives me wild,

(There's No Place Like) Home For The Holidays lyrics - Perry Como
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home
I met a man who lives in Tennessee, he was heading for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie
From Pennsylvania, folks are travelling
Down to Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific
Gee, the traffic is terrific
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
'Cause no matter how far away you roam
If you want to be happy in a million ways
For the holidays you can't beat home sweet home
Take a bus, take a train
Go and hop an aeroplane
Put the wife and kiddies in the family car
For the pleasure that you bring
When you make that doorbell ring
No trip could be too far
I met a man who lives in Tennessee, he was heading for
Pennsylvania and some homemade pumpkin pie (some pumpkin pie)
From Pennsylvania, folks are travelling
Down to Dixie's sunny shore
From Atlantic to Pacific
Gee, the traffic is terrific
Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays

Winter Wonderland lyrics - Perry Como
Sleigh bells ring, are ya listenin'?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
a beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
he sings a love song as we go along
walkin' in a winter wonderland!
In the meadow we can build a snowman
then pretend that he is Parson Brown
he'll say "Are you married?"
we'll say "No man!
But you can do the job,
when you're in town!"
Later on, we'll conspire,
as we dream, by the fire,
to face unafraid,
the plans that we've made
walkin' in a winter wonderland!

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer lyrics - Perry Como
What kind of a name is rudolph
For a reindeer?
What kind of a name is rudolph
For a reindeer?
Dear, dear, dear deer!
You know dasher an' dancer,
An' prancer an' vixen,
Comet an' cupid, an' donner an' blitzen,
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
What kind of a name is rudolph
For a reindeer?
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose,
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names;
They never let poor rudolph
Join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy christmas eve,
Santa came to say:
Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down in history.

The Christmas Song lyrics - Perry Como
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everybody knows
A turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all a-glow
will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
an' goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you!

And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know
how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas to you!
[instrumental break]
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times many ways
Merry Christmas... to you!
Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town lyrics - Perry Como

Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He's makin' a list an' checkin' it twice

White Christmas lyrics - Perry Como
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen (and children listen!)
to hear sleigh bells in the snow!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
(...may all your Christmas's be white!)
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
just like the ones I used to know
where the tree tops glisten
and children listen (and children listen!)
to hear sleigh bells in the snow!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
with every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry an' bright
and may all your Christmas's be white!
(...may all your Christmas's be white!)

O Holy Night lyrics - Perry Como
O holy night
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night
of the dear Saviour's birth!
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
'till He appeared
and the soul felt it's worth!
A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks
a new an' glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine O night,
O night divine!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine O night,
O night divine!
O holy night
O night divine
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night
of the dear Saviour's birth!
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
'till He appeared
and the soul felt it's worth!
A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks
a new an' glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine O night,
O night divine!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine O night,
O night divine!
O holy night
O night divine
The Story Of The First Christmas lyrics - Perry Como
This is Perry Como...
And I'd like to tell you the most wonderful, the most beautiful,
The most exciting story in the whole world,
The Story of the First Christmas!
Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago,
A long time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little town in Palestine,
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is Joseph!
Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey,
And her name is Mary!
They've come a long, long way,
And they're heading for a little town near the hillside,
On which we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this little town tonight!
For this is the little town of Bethlehem!
Oh little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight!
Let's follow Joseph and Mary into the town of Bethlehem,
It's getting dark and all of the rooms at the Inn are taken,
But the kindly Innkeeper tells them
They could spend the night at a stable nearby!
Now I told you something was gonna happen, and it did!
A baby boy is born to Mary and Joseph,
Whom they call Jesus!
They have no baby's crib, so Mary puts little Jesus to sleep,
In the soft sweet hay of a manger!
Come, come, come to the manger,
Children sing and asleep on the hay,
Sing, sing, chorus of Angels,
Little Lord Jesus is born on this day!
Jesus is asleep in the manger,
So let's tiptoe out to the hillside near Bethlehem,
Where the Shepherds are tending their flock.
All at once the Shepherds are frightened,
You'd be frightened too,
Because a great light suddenly shines in the sky!
Even the animals are hushed and still,
But then you hear the voice of an Angel of the Lord!
And you're no longer frightened,
For the Angel brings good news,
News of a Saviour born this day,
News of Christ the Lord!
The First Noel! the Angels did say,
Was to certain poor Shepherds,
In fields as they lay, in fields where they,
Lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night, that was so deep!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
Well, we're still with the Shepherds,
On the hillside near Bethlehem.
We hear the Shepherds ask the Angel,
Where to find the Christ-child?
And the Angel tells them to go to the manger.
And as they leave the sky is filled with other Angels singing,
Glory to God! And on Earth Peace, Goodwill, to Men!
The Shepherds hurry to the manger,
Fall on their knees before the baby,
And they worship him!
For He is Christ the Lord!
Oh! Come all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh Come ye, Oh Come ye, to Bethlehem!
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels,
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
And now, look up into the sky!
Do you see that bright star twinkling in the heavens?
Far away, three men are looking at that star just as we are!
They're riding on camels,
And they're using the star as a guide to lead them to the Christ-child.
Who are these three men who follow the star?
We Three Kings of Orient are,
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star!
Yes, the three men on the camels are the three wise men,
The new star guides them straight to Bethlehem,
To a little baby lying in a manger!
There the three wise men present gifts to the Christ-child,
The first Christmas gifts ever given to anyone,
A gift of gold, of frankincense, and of Mir!
And they too fall on their knees to worship Him,
And now, a great peace settles on the night,
For it is the Holy Night!
Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright,
'Round yon virgin mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild!
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
This is why when we celebrate Christmas,
We think of Bethlehem,
We think of the Virgin Mary,
We think of the three wise men,
And the birth of the Christ-child!
The First Christmas!
Oh! Come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord!
And I'd like to tell you the most wonderful, the most beautiful,
The most exciting story in the whole world,
The Story of the First Christmas!

St. Louis Blues lyrics - Perry Como
I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down!
I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down!
'Cause my baby, gone and left this town!
Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
If I'm feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
I'll pack my trunk, and make my get-away!
I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told,
Yes, I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told,
I asked the Gypsy, "What does the future hold?"
Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black!"
Hmmm! The Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black!" (No black!)
"Go to St. Louis, and you can win her back!"
St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
Pulls this man around by her apron strings,
If it wasn't for powder and for store-bought hair,
That gal I love wouldn't h've gone nowhere, nowhere!
I got the St. Louis Blues, just as blue as I can be,
'Cause that gal's got a heart, like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else she wouldn't have gone so far from me!
I love that gal like a school boy loves his pie,
Like a Kentucky Colonel loves his mint an' his rye,
I love that gal, yes I love that gal,
Yes, I love that gal . . .
Until . . . the day . . . I die!
I hate to see, that evenin' sun go down!
'Cause my baby, gone and left this town!
Feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
If I'm feelin' tomorrow, just like I feel today,
I'll pack my trunk, and make my get-away!
I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told,
Yes, I went to the Gypsy, to get my fortune told,
I asked the Gypsy, "What does the future hold?"
Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black!"
Hmmm! The Gypsy told me, "Don't you wear no black!" (No black!)
"Go to St. Louis, and you can win her back!"

Pulls this man around by her apron strings,

I've Got You Under My Skin lyrics - Perry Como
I've got you under my skin,
I've got you deep in the heart of me,
So deep in my heart . . . you're really a part of me,
I've got you under my skin!
I tried so . . . not to give in,
I said to myself . . . this affair, never will go so well!
But why should I try to resist,
When 'Darling' I know so well,
I've got you under my skin!
I'd sacrifice anything, come what might,
For the sake of having you near!
In spite of the warning voice, that comes in the night,
And repeats, and repeats, in my ear . . .
"Don't you know little fool . . . you never can win!
Use your mentality, wake up to reality!"
But each time I do . . . just the thought of you,
Makes me 'stop' before I begin,
'Cause I've got you . . . Hmm I got you,
I got you . . . under my skin!
I've got you deep in the heart of me,
So deep in my heart . . . you're really a part of me,
I've got you under my skin!
I tried so . . . not to give in,
I said to myself . . . this affair, never will go so well!
But why should I try to resist,
When 'Darling' I know so well,
I've got you under my skin!
I'd sacrifice anything, come what might,
For the sake of having you near!
In spite of the warning voice, that comes in the night,
And repeats, and repeats, in my ear . . .
"Don't you know little fool . . . you never can win!
Use your mentality, wake up to reality!"
But each time I do . . . just the thought of you,
Makes me 'stop' before I begin,
'Cause I've got you . . . Hmm I got you,
I got you . . . under my skin!

Mood Indigo lyrics - Perry Como
You ain't been blue,
No, no, no . . .
You ain't been blue,
'Till you had that mood indigo . . .
That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .
Always get the mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye . . .
In the evenin' when the lights are low,
I'm so lonesome, I could die!
'Cause there's nobody,
Who cares about me . . .
I'm just a fool,
Who's bluer than blue can be,
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down an' die!
[instrumental break]
That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .
No, no, no . . .
You ain't been blue,
'Till you had that mood indigo . . .
That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .
Always get the mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye . . .
In the evenin' when the lights are low,
I'm so lonesome, I could die!
'Cause there's nobody,
Who cares about me . . .
I'm just a fool,
Who's bluer than blue can be,
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down an' die!
[instrumental break]
That feelin' goes stealin'
Down to my shoes,
While I sit an' sigh,
Go 'long blues . . .
Donkey Serenade lyrics - Perry Como
There's a song in the air,
But the fair senorita
doesn't seem to care
for the song in the air.
So I'll sing to my mule
if you're sure she won't think that
I am just a fool
serenading a mule.
Amigo mio, does she not have a dainty bray?
She listens carefully to each little word we play.
La bella Senorita?
Si, si, mi muchachito,
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way.
But try as she may,
in her voice there's a flaw!
And all that the lady can say
is "E-E-AW!"
There's a light in her eye,
Tho' she may try to hide it,
She cannot deny,
there's a light in her eye.
Oh! the charm of her smile
so beguiles all who see her
that they'd ride a mile
for the charm of her smile.
Amigo mio, is she listenin' to my song?
No, no, mi muchachito, how could you be so wrong?
La bella Senorita?
Si, Si, la senorita,
If she knew all the words,
Well, maybe she'd sing along...
Her face is a dream
like an angel I saw!
But all that my darlin' can scream
is: "E-E-AW!"
Senorita donkey sita, not so fleet as a mosquito,
but so sweet like my Chiquita,
you're the one for me.
You're... the one... for me!
But the fair senorita
doesn't seem to care
for the song in the air.
So I'll sing to my mule
if you're sure she won't think that
I am just a fool
serenading a mule.
Amigo mio, does she not have a dainty bray?
She listens carefully to each little word we play.
La bella Senorita?
Si, si, mi muchachito,
She'd love to sing it too if only she knew the way.
But try as she may,
in her voice there's a flaw!
And all that the lady can say

there's a light in her eye.
Oh! the charm of her smile
so beguiles all who see her
that they'd ride a mile
for the charm of her smile.
Amigo mio, is she listenin' to my song?
No, no, mi muchachito, how could you be so wrong?
La bella Senorita?

Her face is a dream

But all that my darlin' can scream
is: "E-E-AW!"
Senorita donkey sita, not so fleet as a mosquito,

you're the one for me.
You're... the one... for me!
To Know You (Is To Love You) lyrics - Perry Como
To know you, is to love you,
And I love you... 'cause I know you...
Are such a sweetheart...
that when you walk down the street,
Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat!
The others, who have met you,
Better start in... to forget you...
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... love me!
Were you the sun, it would be twice as sunny,
Were you a bee, there would be sweeter honey,
Were you a tune everyone would be croonin'
Harmonizin' out in the street!
You're such a bundle of me oh my,
And that's the reason when you go by,
Each heart naturally skips a beat!
Dear...
The others...
(Were you the spring, you would be twice as springy!)
Who have met you...
(Were you a vine, you would be twice as clingy!)
Better start in...
(Were you the moon, everyone would be spoonin'!)
To forget you...
(Every night would be mighty sweet!)
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... love me!
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... everyone should know you...
Know... yes, know... you love me!
And I love you... 'cause I know you...
Are such a sweetheart...
that when you walk down the street,
Everyone's heart, just naturally skips a beat!
The others, who have met you,
Better start in... to forget you...
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... love me!
Were you the sun, it would be twice as sunny,
Were you a bee, there would be sweeter honey,
Were you a tune everyone would be croonin'
Harmonizin' out in the street!
You're such a bundle of me oh my,
And that's the reason when you go by,
Each heart naturally skips a beat!

Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... love me!
Because, to know you is to love you so,
It's time for everyone you know,
To know you... everyone should know you...
Know... yes, know... you love me!
You Came A Long Way From St. Louis lyrics - Perry Como
You came a long way from St. Louis,
You climbed the ladder of success . . .
I've seen the flashy foreign cars
That were parked out in front of
Your fancy address!
You came a long way from St. Louis,
You broke a lot of hearts between . . .
I've met a gang of gloomy guys
Who were doin' all right
'Till you came on the scene!
You blew in from the middle-west
And certainly impressed
The population here-abouts . . .
Well baby, I got news for you,
I'm from Missouri too,
So, naturally, I got my doubts!
You got 'em droppin' by the way-side,
A feelin' I ain't gonna know . . .
You came a long way from St. Louis,
But baby, you still got a long way to go!

Honey, Honey (Bless Your Heart) lyrics - Perry Como
Moon shinin' bright, up in the sky,
Looks down on me and I know why,
Even the stars up in the blue,
Seem to be shining for no one but you!

Linda lyrics - Perry Como
Linda, Linda . . .
Morning noon an' night I find
Linda's always on my mind . . .
When I go to sleep,
I never count sheep,
I count all the charms about Linda!
An' lately it seems,
In all of my dreams,
I walk with my arms about Linda . . .
But what good does it do me,
For Linda doesn't know I exist,
Can't help feelin' gloomy,
Think of all the lovin' I've missed!
We pass on the street,
My heart skips a beat,
I say to myself, "Hello Linda!"
If only she'd smile,
I'd stop for a while,
Then I would get to know Linda!
But miracles still happen,
And when my lucky star begins to shine,
With one luck break I'll make Linda . . .
Someday I'll betcha,
I'm gonna getcha!
[instrumental break]
Oh, Linda, Linda . . .

And when my lucky star begins to shine,
With one luck break I'll make Linda . . .

Begin The Beguine lyrics - Perry Como
When they begin the beguine,
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back the night of tropical splendour,
It brings back a memory evergreen!
I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'
Even the palms seems to be swayin'
When they begin the beguine!
To live it again is past all endeavour,
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are swearin' to love forever,
And promising never, never to part!
What moments divine, what raptures serene,
'Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted...
Now, when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
I know but too well what they mean!
So, don't let them begin the beguine,
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember...
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember,
When they begin the beguine!
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play!
'Till the stars that were there before return above you,
'Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in,
When they begin the beguine!
When they begin... the beguine!
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back the night of tropical splendour,
It brings back a memory evergreen!
I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'
Even the palms seems to be swayin'
When they begin the beguine!
To live it again is past all endeavour,
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And there we are swearin' to love forever,
And promising never, never to part!
What moments divine, what raptures serene,
'Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted...
Now, when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted,
I know but too well what they mean!
So, don't let them begin the beguine,
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember...
Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember,
When they begin the beguine!
Oh yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play!
'Till the stars that were there before return above you,
'Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!"
And we suddenly know, what heaven we're in,
When they begin the beguine!
When they begin... the beguine!

No Well On Earth lyrics - Perry Como
No summer cloud,
Is white enough to match,
The color of her hair!
No span of time,
Is long enough to ever end,
Her tender care!
And since I'm speaking of,
My Mother's love,
Please let me tell you Sir!
No well on earth,
Is deep enough to drown,
The love I hold for her!
Is white enough to match,
The color of her hair!
No span of time,
Is long enough to ever end,
Her tender care!
And since I'm speaking of,
My Mother's love,
Please let me tell you Sir!
No well on earth,
Is deep enough to drown,
The love I hold for her!

Scarlet Ribbons lyrics - Perry Como
I peeked in to say goodnight,
And then I heard my child in prayer:
"And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair . . ."
All the stores were closed and shuttered,
All the streets were dark and bare . . .
In our town, no scarlet ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair . . .
Through the night my heart was aching,
Just before the dawn was breaking,
I peeked in and on her bed,
In gay profusion lying there,
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for her hair . . .
If I live to be two hundred,
I will never know from where,
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair!
And then I heard my child in prayer:
"And for me some scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for my hair . . ."
All the stores were closed and shuttered,
All the streets were dark and bare . . .
In our town, no scarlet ribbons,
Not one ribbon for her hair . . .
Through the night my heart was aching,
Just before the dawn was breaking,
I peeked in and on her bed,
In gay profusion lying there,
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons for her hair . . .
If I live to be two hundred,
I will never know from where,
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons,
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair!
I May Never Pass This Way Again lyrics - Perry Como
I'll give my hand to those who cannot see,
The sunshine or the fallin' rain.
I'll sing my song to cheer the weary along,
For I may never pass this way again!
I'll share my faith with every troubled heart,
So I shall not have lived in vain.
I'll give my hand, I'll sing my song,
I'll share my faith, because I know,
That the time is now to fulfill each vow,
For I may never pass this way again!
The sunshine or the fallin' rain.
I'll sing my song to cheer the weary along,
For I may never pass this way again!
I'll share my faith with every troubled heart,
So I shall not have lived in vain.
I'll give my hand, I'll sing my song,
I'll share my faith, because I know,
That the time is now to fulfill each vow,
For I may never pass this way again!
A Still Small Voice lyrics - Perry Como
A still small voice will speak to you one day.
A still small voice will call to you and say,
"I am the earth, the sky, the brightest star on high,
the tallest tree, the smallest drop of dew."
A still small voice one day will say to you!
The still small voice from every voice apart,
Will whisper in the language of your heart,
"I am the night, the day, the blessing and the way,
the dream that keeps a lonely heart aglow!"
Once you have heard the word a still small voice will say,
your heart will answer,
"Yes, I know!"
A still small voice will call to you and say,
"I am the earth, the sky, the brightest star on high,
the tallest tree, the smallest drop of dew."
A still small voice one day will say to you!
The still small voice from every voice apart,
Will whisper in the language of your heart,
"I am the night, the day, the blessing and the way,
the dream that keeps a lonely heart aglow!"
Once you have heard the word a still small voice will say,
your heart will answer,
"Yes, I know!"
In The Garden lyrics - Perry Como
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses...
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
He speaks and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing...
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses...
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
He speaks and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that he gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing...
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other, has ever, known!

Come and join me in a prayer,
In a humble prayer for peace.
One voice may be weak,
But together we'll be heard . . .

And free from fear.
Pray for the hearts of all mankind,
That they may find,
New faith and trust in each other,
And peace of mind!
Come and join me in a prayer,
If we all kneel side by side,
In a prayer for peace,
How can we be denied?
If we only pray for the hearts of all mankind,
That they may find . . .
New faith and trust in each other,
And peace of mind!
Come and join me in a prayer,
If we all kneel side by side,
In a prayer for peace,
How can we be denied?
In a humble prayer for peace.
One voice may be weak,
But together we'll be heard . . .
Let us gather ‘round and pray,
For a life of peace and love,
In a world that's free from want,
And free from fear.
Pray for the hearts of all mankind,
That they may find,
New faith and trust in each other,
And peace of mind!
Come and join me in a prayer,
If we all kneel side by side,
In a prayer for peace,
How can we be denied?
If we only pray for the hearts of all mankind,
That they may find . . .
New faith and trust in each other,
And peace of mind!
Come and join me in a prayer,
If we all kneel side by side,
In a prayer for peace,
How can we be denied?
All Through The Night lyrics - Perry Como
Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night . . .
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night . . .
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber steeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night . . .
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night . . .
All through the night . . .
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night . . .
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and vale in slumber steeping,
I my loving vigil keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the moon her watch is keeping,
All through the night . . .
While the weary world is sleeping,
All through the night . . .
O'er thy spirit gently stealing,
Visions of delight revealing,
Breathes a pure and holy feeling,
All through the night . . .
When You Come To The End Of The Day lyrics - Perry Como
When you come to the end of the day,
And the night calls your worries away,
Do you ever watch the setting sun,
And dream of things that you might have done?
Do you turn from your work with a smile?
Do you feel that it's all worth the while?
As you dream the twilight hours away,
When you come to the end of the day!
And the night calls your worries away,
Do you ever watch the setting sun,
And dream of things that you might have done?
Do you turn from your work with a smile?
Do you feel that it's all worth the while?
As you dream the twilight hours away,
When you come to the end of the day!
Accentuate The Positive lyrics - Perry Como
(ac-cent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
Ac-cent-thu-ate the positive, an' latch on!)
You gotta accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
An' latch on
To the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between!
You gotta spread joy up to the maximum,
Bring gloom down to the minimum,
An' have faith (amen!)
Or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene!
To illustrate
My last remark
Jonah in the whale!
Noah in the arc!
An' what did they do (what did they do?)
Just when everything looked so dark?
(what did they, what did they, what did they do?)
Man! they said
You better accent-thu-ate the positive,
E-lim-inate the negative,
An' latch on
To the affirmative
Don't mess with mister in-between!
No, don't mess with mister in-between!

It Could Happen To You lyrics - Perry Como
Hide your heart from sight,
Lock your dreams at night,
It could happen to you!
Don't count stars or you might stumble,
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble...
Keep an eye on spring,
Run when church bells ring,
It could happen to you!
All I did was wonder how your arms would be,
And it happened to me...
[instrumental bridge]
It could happen to you...
All I did was wonder how your arms would be,
And it happened to me...
Lock your dreams at night,
It could happen to you!
Don't count stars or you might stumble,
Someone drops a sigh and down you tumble...
Keep an eye on spring,
Run when church bells ring,
It could happen to you!
All I did was wonder how your arms would be,
And it happened to me...
[instrumental bridge]
It could happen to you...
All I did was wonder how your arms would be,
And it happened to me...
Love Letters lyrics - Perry Como
Love letters straight from your heart,
Keep us so near while apart.
I'm not alone in the night,
When I can have all the love you write...
I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart...
[instrumental bridge]
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart...
Keep us so near while apart.

When I can have all the love you write...
I memorize every line,
I kiss the name that you sign.
And darling, then I read again right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart...
[instrumental bridge]

And darling, then I read again right from the start,
Love letters straight from your heart...
Almost Like Being In Love lyrics - Perry Como
What a day this has been,
What a rare mood I'm in,
Why it's almost like being love . . .
There's a smile on my face,
For the whole human race,
Why it's almost like being love . . .
All the music of life seems to be,
Like a bell that is ringin' for me . . .
And from the way that I feel,
When that bell starts to peal,
I would swear I was fallin'
I could swear I was fallin'
It's almost like being love . . .
What a rare mood I'm in,
Why it's almost like being love . . .
There's a smile on my face,
For the whole human race,
Why it's almost like being love . . .
All the music of life seems to be,
Like a bell that is ringin' for me . . .
And from the way that I feel,
When that bell starts to peal,
I would swear I was fallin'
I could swear I was fallin'
It's almost like being love . . .
Little Man You've Had A Busy Day lyrics - Perry Como
Little man you're cryin', I know why you're blue,
Someone took your kiddy-car away,
Better go to sleep now,
Little man you've had a busy day . . .
Johnny won your marbles, tell you what we'll do,
Dad will get you new ones right away,
Better go to sleep now,
Little man you've had a busy day . . .
You've been playin' soldier, the battle has been won,
The enemy is out of sight,
Come along there soldier, put away your gun,
The war is over for tonight . . .
Time to stop your schemin', time your day was through,
Can't you hear the bugle softly say?
Time you should be dreamin',
Little man you've had a busy day . . .

Time you should be dreamin',

The Gypsy In My Soul lyrics - Perry Como
If I am fancy free,
And love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
There's somethin' callin' me
From way out yonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
I've got to give vent to my emotions,
I'm only content havin' my way...
Hmm, there is no other life,
Of which I'm fonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
No cares!
No strings!
My heart,
It has wings!
If I am fancy free,
And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

From way out yonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
I've got to give vent to my emotions,
I'm only content havin' my way...
Hmm, there is no other life,
Of which I'm fonder,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!

The Whiffenpoof Song lyrics - Perry Como
To the tables down at Morey's
To the place where Louis dwells
To the dear old temple bar we love so well...
Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled
With their glasses raised on high,
And the magic of their singing cast it's spell...
Yes, the magic of their singing,
Of the songs we love so well,
Shall l wasting and Mavourneen and the rest,
We will serenade our Louis! (We will serenade our Louis!)
While life and voice shall last!
Then we'll pass and be forgotten like the rest...
We're poor little lambs
Who have lost our way
Baa Baa Baa!
We're little black sheep
Who have gone astray
Baa Baa Baa!
Gentlemen songsters off on a spree
(Doomed...) Doomed from here to eternity
(Lord...) Lord, have mercy on such as we
Baa Baa Baa!
To the place where Louis dwells
To the dear old temple bar we love so well...
Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled
With their glasses raised on high,
And the magic of their singing cast it's spell...
Yes, the magic of their singing,
Of the songs we love so well,
Shall l wasting and Mavourneen and the rest,
We will serenade our Louis! (We will serenade our Louis!)
While life and voice shall last!
Then we'll pass and be forgotten like the rest...
We're poor little lambs
Who have lost our way
Baa Baa Baa!
We're little black sheep
Who have gone astray
Baa Baa Baa!
Gentlemen songsters off on a spree
(Doomed...) Doomed from here to eternity
(Lord...) Lord, have mercy on such as we
Baa Baa Baa!
Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea lyrics - Perry Como
I don't want you,
But I hate to lose you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
I forgive you,
'Cause I can't forget you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!
I ought to cross you off my list,
But when you come a knockin' at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I keep runnin' back for more!
I should hate you,
But I guess I love you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!

Red Sails In The Sunset lyrics - Perry Como
(Oh come back to me, Oh come back to me,
Red Sailors, Red Sailors, bring my love to me!)
'Twas down where fisher-folk gather,
I wandered far from the throng,
I heard a fisher-girl singing,
And this refrain was her song . . .
(Oh O'oo!)
Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
He sailed at the dawning,
All day I've been blue,
Red sails in the sunset,
I'm trusting in you . . .
Swift wings you must borrow,
Make straight for the shore,
We marry tomorrow,
And he goes sailin' no more . . .
Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
Red Sailors, Red Sailors, bring my love to me!)
'Twas down where fisher-folk gather,
I wandered far from the throng,
I heard a fisher-girl singing,
And this refrain was her song . . .
(Oh O'oo!)
Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
He sailed at the dawning,
All day I've been blue,
Red sails in the sunset,
I'm trusting in you . . .
Swift wings you must borrow,
Make straight for the shore,
We marry tomorrow,
And he goes sailin' no more . . .
Red sails in the sunset,
Way out on the sea,
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
Oh carry my loved one
Home safely to me . . .
Birth Of The Blues lyrics - Perry Como
Oh... they say some people long ago,
Were searchin' for a diff'rent tune,
One that they could croon,
As only they can...
They only had the rhythm... so,
They started swayin' to and fro...
They didn't know just what to use,
That is how the blues,
Really began...
They heard the breeze in the trees,
Singin' weird melodies,
And they made that,
The start of the blues!
And from a jail came the wail,
Of a down-hearted frail,
And they played that,
As part of the blues!
From a whippoorwill out on the hill,
They took a new note (whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill...)
Pushed it through a horn 'till it was worn,
Into a blue note... (whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill...)
An' then they nursed it, and rehearsed it,
And gave out the news,
That the "Southland"...
Gave birth to the blues!
(Shout out the wonderful news!)
Oh, the breeze from the trees,
A wail from the jail,
A buzz from the cousin of a nightin'gale,
And "Southland" (hello, hello!)
Gave birth to the blues!
Were searchin' for a diff'rent tune,
One that they could croon,
As only they can...
They only had the rhythm... so,
They started swayin' to and fro...
They didn't know just what to use,
That is how the blues,
Really began...
They heard the breeze in the trees,
Singin' weird melodies,
And they made that,
The start of the blues!
And from a jail came the wail,
Of a down-hearted frail,
And they played that,
As part of the blues!
From a whippoorwill out on the hill,
They took a new note (whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill...)
Pushed it through a horn 'till it was worn,
Into a blue note... (whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill...)
An' then they nursed it, and rehearsed it,
And gave out the news,
That the "Southland"...
Gave birth to the blues!
(Shout out the wonderful news!)
Oh, the breeze from the trees,
A wail from the jail,
A buzz from the cousin of a nightin'gale,
And "Southland" (hello, hello!)
Gave birth to the blues!
When I Fall In Love lyrics - Perry Como
When I fall in love,
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love . . .
In an restless world like this is,
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses,
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun . . .
When I give my heart,
It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart . . .
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you . . .
[instrumental bridge]
Or I'll never give my heart . . .
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you . . .
It will be forever,
Or I'll never fall in love . . .
In an restless world like this is,
Love is ended before it's begun,
And too many moonlight kisses,
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun . . .
When I give my heart,
It will be completely,
Or I'll never give my heart . . .
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you . . .
[instrumental bridge]
Or I'll never give my heart . . .
And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too,
Is when I fall in love with you . . .
Come Rain Or Come Shine lyrics - Perry Como
I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, an' deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one o' those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together,
An' won't it be fine?
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine!
[instrumental bridge]
(You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me)
Come rain or come shine

We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine!

Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, an' deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one o' those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
