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!

May The Good Lord Bless And Keep You lyrics - Perry Como

May the good Lord bless an' keep you,
Whether near or far away.
May you find that long awaited,
Golden day today . . .

May your troubles all be small ones,
And your fortune ten times ten,
May the good lord bless and keep you,
'Till we meet again . . .

May you walk with the sunlight shining,
An' a blue bird in every tree.
May there be silver lining,
Back of every cloud you see . . .

Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows,
Never mind what might have been.
May the good Lord bless an' keep you,
'Till we meet again . . .

May the good Lord bless an' keep you,
'Till we meet again . . .

Prayer For Peace lyrics - Perry Como

Come and join me in a prayer,
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 . . .

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!

"Saturday Night With Mr. C." (1958)

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!

(to illustrate
His 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 do, 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!
No, don't you 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...

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...

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 . . .

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 . . .

[instrumental bridge]

Time you should be dreamin',
Little man you've had a busy day . . .

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!

[instrumental bridge]

If I am fancy free,
And I love to wander,
It's just the Gypsy in my soul!
In my soul!
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!

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!

[instrumental bridge]

You got me in between

The devil and the deep blue sea!

[instrumental bridge]

Hmm, 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!

Hmm, I should hate you,
But I guess I love you,
You got me in between
The devil and the deep blue sea!

You got me in between
The devil... and the deep blue sea!... 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 . . .

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!

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 . . .

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
(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!

(I'm gonna love you... rain...)
I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you...

You Made Me Love You lyrics - Perry Como

You made me love you,
I didn't wanna to do it, I didn't wanna 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 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, didn't wanna tell you,

I want some love that's true, yes I do,
'Deed I do, you know I do,
Gimmy, gimmy me what I cry for,
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad,
You know you got the brand of kisses that I die for,
You know you made me love you!

I May Be Wrong lyrics - Perry Como

I may be wrong, but,
I think you're wonderful!
I may be wrong, but,
I think you're swell!

I like your style, say,
I think you're marvellous,
But I can't see
So how can I tell?

All of my shirts are unsightly,
All of my ties are a crime,
If dear in you I've picked rightly,
It's the very first time!

You came along, say,
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but,
I may be wrong!

[instrumental bridge]

I may be wrong, but,
I think you're swell!

[instrumental bridge]

But I can't see
So how can I tell?

All of my shirts are unsightly,
All of my ties are a crime,
If dear in you I've picked rightly,
It's the very first time!

You came along, say,
I think you're wonderful!
I think you're grand, but,
I may be wrong!

Like Someone In Love lyric - Perry Como

Lately . . .
I find myself out gazin' at stars,
Hearing guitars,
Like someone in love . . .

Sometimes . . .
The things I do astound me,
Mostly . . .
Whenever you're around me . . .

Lately . . .
I seem to walk, as though I had wings,
Bump into things,
Like someone in love . . .

Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
An' feelin' like someone in love . . .

[instrumental bridge]

I bump into things,
Like someone in love . . .

Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
An' feelin' like someone in love . . .

Vaya Con Dios lyrics - Perry Como

(now the hacienda's dark, the town is sleeping,
Now the time has come to part,
The time for weeping!)

Vaya con dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love...

Now, the village mission bells are softly ringing,
If you listen with your heart you'll hear them singing (...singing!)
Vaya con dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love...

Where ever you may be, I'll be beside you (...beside you!)

Although you're many million miles away!
Each night I'll say a prayer, a prayer to guide you (...to guide you!)
To hasten every lonely hour of every lonely day...

Now, the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
But the memories we share are there to borrow (...no sorrow!)
Vaya con dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love...

Vaya con dios, my darling,
May God be with you my love...

(now the time has come to say goodbye!)

It Had To Be You lyrics - Perry Como

It had to be you, it had to be you,
I wandered around an' finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad, thinkin' 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!

[instrumental verse]

Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss,
But they wouldn't do
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!
It just had to be you!

Twilight On The Trail lyrics - Perry Como

When it's twilight on the trail,
And I jog along,
The world is like a dream
And the ripple of the stream is my song...

When it's twilight on the trail,
And I rest once more,
My ceiling is the sky
And the grass on which I lie is my floor...

Never ever have a nickel in my jeans,
Never ever have a debt to pay,
Still I understand what real contentment means,

Guess I was born that way...

When it's twilight on the trail,
And my voice is still,
Please plant this heart of mine
Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill...

(Underneath the lonesome pine on the hill...)
When it's twilight on the trail...

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!

"We Get Letters" (1957)

Swingin' Down The Lane lyrics - Perry Como

Everybody hand-in-hand, swingin' down the lane,
Everybody feelin' grand, swingin' down the lane,
That's the time I miss the bliss, that we might have known,
Nights like this, when I'm all alone!

When the moon is on the rise, 'Honey' I'm so blue,
Watchin' lovers making eyes, like we used to do,
When the moon is on the wane, still I'm waitin' all in vain,
Should be swingin' down the lane with you!

[instrumental break "trumpet solo"]

When the moon is on the rise, 'Honey' I'm so blue,
Watchin' lovers making eyes, like we used to do,
When the moon is on the wane, still I'm waitin' all in vain,
Should be swingin' down the lane with you!

It's Easy To Remember lyrics - Perry Como

Your sweet expression, the smile you gave me,
The way you looked when we met,
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget!

I hear you whisper, "I'll always love you,"
I know it's over, and yet,
It's easy to remember, but so hard to forget!

So I must dream to have your hand caress me,
Fingers press me tight,
I'd rather dream than have that lonely feelin'
Stealing through the night!

Each little moment is clear before me,
And though it brings me regret,
It's easy to remember, and so hard to forget!

[instrumental break]

(hmmmmmm)

It's easy to remember, and so hard to forget!

South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way) lyrics - Perry Como

South of the border, down Mexico way,
That's where I fell in love when the stars above came out to play,
And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray,
South of the border, down Mexico way!

She was a picture in ol' Spanish lace,
Just for a tender while I kissed the smile upon her face,
For it was "Fiesta" and we were so gay,
South of the border, down Mexico way!

Then she sighed as she whispered "Mañana"
Never dreamin' that we were partin',

And I lied as I whispered "Mañana"
For our tomorrow never came!

South of the border, I rode back one day,
There in a veil of white by candle-light she knelt to pray,
The mission bells told me that I mustn't stay,
South of the border, down Mexico way!
Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!... Ay! Ay! Ay! Ay!

That's What I Like lyrics - Perry Como

Kiss me, kiss me baby,
That's what I like!
Hold me, hug me, pet me baby,
That's what I like!

You don't have to give me,
Clever conversation!
I just want affection,
Not an education!

Kiss me, hold me, hug me baby,
That's what I like you to do!
Love me, love me,
Love me baby too!

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!

Honey, honey, bless your heart,
You're the "honey" that I love so well!
I'd die for you, if you'd only be true,

You're the "honey" that I love so well"

[instrumental break]

I'd die for you, if you'd only be true,
You're the "honey" that I love so well"

Angry lyrics - Perry Como

Angry, please don't be angry,
'Cause I was only teasing you!
I wouldn't even let you think of leavin'
Don't you know I love you true!

Just because I took a look at somebody else,
That's no reason you should put poor me on the shelf!
Angry, please don't be angry,
'Cause I was only teasing you!

Don't believe a thing you hear, just wait 'till you see,
Then you'll find no cause to show that you're jealous of me!
Oh! Angry, please don't be angry,
'Cause I was only teasing you!

They Can't Take That Away From Me lyrics - Perry Como

The way you wear your hat,
The way you sip your tea,
The mem'ry of all that,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!

The way your smile just beams,
The way you sing off-key,
The way you haunt my dreams,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!

We may never, never, meet again,
On the bumpy road to love,
Still, I'll always, always, keep the mem'ry of...

The way you you hold your knife,
The way we danced 'till three,
The way you changed my life,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
No, they can't take that away from me!

[instrumental break]

The way you you hold your knife,
The way we danced 'till three,
The way you changed my life,
No, no! They can't take that away from me!
No, they can't take that away,
'Cause I think you're here to stay,
No, they can't take that away... from me!

Sposin' lyrics - Perry Como

Sposin' I should fall in love with you,
Do you think that you could love me too?
Sposin' I should hold you and caress you,
Would it impress you, or distress you?

Sposin' I should say "For you I yearn,"
Would you think I'm speakin' out of turn?
An' sposin' I would declare it,
Would you take my love and share it?

I'm not sposin',
I'm in love with you!

[instrumental break]

Huh! Sposin' I should say "For you I yearn,"
Would you think I'm speakin' out of turn?
An' sposin' I'd declare it,
Would you take my love and share it?

I'm not sposin',
I'm in love with you!

I Had The Craziest Dream lyrics - Perry Como

I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did!
I never dreamed it could be,
Yet there you were, in love with me.

I found your lips close to mine, so I kissed you,
And you didn't mind it at all!
When I'm awake, such a break never happens,
How long can a guy go on dreamin'?

If there's a chance that you care, then please,
Say you do Baby!
Say it and make my craziest dream come true.

Deed I Do lyrics - Perry Como

Do I want you?
Oh my! Do I!
Honey, deed I do!

Do I need you?
Oh my! Do I!
Honey, deed I do!

I'm glad that I'm the one who found you,
That's why I'm always hangin' around you...

Do I love you?
Oh my! Do I!
Honey, deed I do!

[instrumental repeat of verse]

Honey, deed I do!

[instrumental repeat of verse]

Hmm! Honey, deed I do!
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you,

Oh my! Do I!
Honey, deed I do!

Ah Deed I Do!

Somebody Loves Me lyrics - Perry Como

Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
I wonder who she can be.
Somebody loves me, I wish I knew,
Who she can be worries me.

For ev'ry girl who passes me, I shout,
"hey! maybe you were meant to be my lovin' baby?"
Somebody loves me, I wonder who,
Maybe it's you!

Sleepy Time Gal lyrics - Perry Como

Sleepy time gal,
You're turnin' night into day!
Sleepy time gal,
You've danced the ev'ning away!

Before each silvery star fades out of sight,
Please give me one little kiss, then let us whisper "Goodnight,"
It's gettin' late and, Dear, your pillow's waitin'...
Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is through,
Sleepy time gal, I'll find a cottage for you.

You'll learn to cook and to sew,

What's more, you'll love it, I know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!

[instrumental repeat of verse]

You'll learn to cook and to sew,
What's more, you'll love it, I know!
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home,
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal!

Me And My Shadow lyrics - Perry Como

(originally by Whispering Jack Smith)

Me and my shadow,
Strolling down the avenue,
Me and my shadow,
Not a soul to tell our troubles to . . .

And when it's twelve o'clock,
We climb the stair,
We never knock,
For nobody's there . . .

Just me and my shadow,
All alone and feelin' blue . . .

And when it's twelve o'clock,
We climb the stair,
We never knock,
For nobody's there . . .

Just me and my shadow,
All alone and feelin' blue . . .

Without A Song lyrics - Perry Como

Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!

That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!

I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know
The Jordan will roll (Roll you river Jordan!)
I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

(I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as I know the Jordan will roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul!)
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

More Than You Know lyrics - Perry Como


Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder, of you!

Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't I be glad to take you
And give you the break you need!

More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, I love you so
Lately I find, you're on my mind
More than you know!

Whether you're right
Whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, I'll string along
I need you so, more than you'll ever know!

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothin' I can do about it
Loving may be all that you can give
But honey I can't live without it!

Hmmm... Oh, how I'd cry
Oh, how I'd cry
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever know!

Blue Skies lyrics - Perry Como

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 saw 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!

Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

My Melancholy Baby lyrics - Perry Como

Come to me my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue...
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know dear that I'm in love with you!

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!

[instrumental break]

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too!

Girl Of My Dreams lyrics - Perry Como

Girl of my dreams, I love you
Honest I do, you are so sweet
If I could just hold your charms
Again in my arms
Then, life would be complete!

Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!

And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!

And after all's said an' done

Girl of my dreams, it's you!

Chincherinchee lyrics - Perry Como

Where the jungle trees are tall
Grows a flower sweet to see
It's a purdy flower they call "Chincherinchee!"

There a boy sang all day long
To a maiden tenderly
And he called her in his song "Chincherinchee!"

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"

Everyone will agree
She's as sweet as can be
She's so kissable and caress-able "Chincherinchee!"

Everybody can see
How exciting is she
She's embraceable, irreplaceable "Chincherinchee!"

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade...

[instrumental verse]

Every night they used to meet
By a tall banyan tree
Where he sang his heart to sweet "Chincherinchee!"

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"

"Sweet Chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet Chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet Chincherinchee, I love you!"

If I Loved You lyrics - Perry Como

If I loved you
Time and again I would try to say
All I'd want you to know!

If I loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
'Round in circles I'd go!

Longing to tell you
But afraid an' shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!

Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How I love you
If I loved you!

They Say It's Wonderful lyrics - Perry Como

They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, so they tell me!

I can't recall who said it, I know I never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful
Wonderful, in every way, so they say!

[instrumental break]

I've Got A Feelin' I'm Fallin' lyrics - Perry Como


I'm flyin' high, but I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
You caught my eye, and I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Show me the ring and I'll jump right through!

I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o

Hey mister parson stand by, for I've got a feelin' I'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you!

Oh! how I miss you tonight,
Miss you while lights are low

Dream Along With Me (I'm On My Way To A Star) lyrics - Perry Como

Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin' the world roll by
Sharin' a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!

On a cloud of love, we'll hear the music of night
We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far

Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!

[instrumental break]

as we hold each other tight...)
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, I'm on my way to a star!

"I Believe" (1956)

I Believe lyrics - Perry Como

I believe, for every drop of rain that falls,
A flower grows...

I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
A candle glows...

I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come, to show the way,
I believe, I believe...

I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard...

I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word...

Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why, I believe!

I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer,
Will still be heard...

I believe, that someone in the great somewhere,
Hears every word...

Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry,
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky,
Then I know why, I believe!

Leads against the foe;

Marching as to war,
With the cross of jesus,
Going on before!

Keep us in sight
Dear gentle saviour
Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight, dear Jesus

Pray that each day
Of our lives mortal
Thus pass away

Thy love o'er watching
Guiding our right
Dear gentle saviour
Goodnight, goodnight

Goodnight dear Jesus
Goodnight, goodnight

Act Of Contrition lyrics - Perry Como

O My God, I am heartily sorry,
For having offended Thee,
And I detest all my sins,
Because I dread the loss of heaven,
And the pains of Hell,
But most of all because I have offended Thee My God,
Who art all good and deserving of all my love,
I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace,

To confess my sin, to do penance,
And to amend my life,
Amen

Nearer My God To Thee lyrics - Perry Como

Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee,
Even though it be a cross,
That raiseth me...

Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee...

Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone...

Yet in my dreams I'll be,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee...

There let the way appear,
Steps unto Heaven,
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given!

Angels to beckon me,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer, My God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee...

Abide With Me lyrics - Perry Como

Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens. Lord with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day.
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me!

I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!

The Lord's Prayer lyrics - Perry Como

Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors; (As we forgive our debtors!)
And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the glory, forever!
Amen

Bless This House lyrics - Perry Como

Bless this house, O Lord we pray,
Make it safe by night and day...

Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out...

Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie overall...

Bless this door that it may prove,
Ever open,
To joy and love...

Bless these windows shining bright,

Letting in God's Heavenly light,
Bless the hearth, ablazing there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer!

Bless the people here within,
Keep them pure and free from sin...

Bless us all that we may be,
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee...

Bless us all that one day we may dwell,
O Lord! With Thee!

It's A Good Day lyrics - Perry Como

Oh it's a good day, for singing this song
and it's a good day, for moving along
Yes it's a good day, how could anything go wrong?
It's a good day from morning till night

Yes it's a good day for paying for shining your shoes
and it's a good day, for loosing the blues
anything to gain and nothing to loose
cause it's a good day from morning till night (you're right!)

I said to the sun, good morning sun
Rise and shine today
You know you got to get going if you're gonna make a showin
And you know you'll got that right away

Cause it's a good day, for paying your bills
And it's a good day, for killing your ills
So take a deep breath throw away all your pills
Cause it's a good day from morning till night

Just this very day i said to the sun: "Good morning sun"
Rise and shine (why don't you rise and shine)
You know you got to get going if you're gonna make a showin
And you know you'll got that right away

Cause it's a good day, for paying your bills
And it's a good day, for killing your ills
So take a deep breath (ahhh) throw away all your pills
Cause it's a good day from morning till night
say that again
yes it's a good day from morning till night
that's what he said
cause it's a good day from morning till niiiiight!

As Time Goes By lyrics - Perry Como

You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply,
As time goes by...

An' when two lovers woo, they still say "I love you,"
On that you can rely, no matter what the future brings,
As time goes by...

Moonlight an' love songs never out of date,
Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' hate,
Woman needs man and man must have his mate,
That no one can deny...

It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by...

[instrumental verse three]

It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by...

I've Got The World On A String lyrics - Perry Como

I got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm in love...

I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go,
Anytime I move my finger, lucky me, can't you see?
I'm in love...

Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go...

I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a life, what a world,
I'm in love...

[instrumental repeat of verse]

. . . what a world, what a life,
I'm in love...

[instrumental repeat of verse]

. . . lucky me, can't you see?
That I'm in love...

Life is a beautiful thing, as long as I hold a string,
I'd be a silly so and so, if I should ever let you go...

Oh! I got the world on a string, sittin' on the rainbow,
Got a string around my finger, what a world, what a life,
I'm really in love...

My Funny Valentine lyrics - Perry Como

My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine,
You make me smile with my heart,
Your looks are laughable, un-photographical,
Yet you're my favourite work of art...

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smiling?
But don't change a hair for me,

Not if you care for me.
Stay little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day...

Each day is Valentine's Day...

For Me And My Gal lyrics - Perry Como


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!

I Gotta Right To Sing The Blues lyrics - Perry Como

I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to feel low-down,
I gotta right t' hang around, down around the river. .

A certain gal in this ol' town, keeps draggin' my poor heart around,
All I see for me, is misery...

I gotta right to sing the blues, I gotta right to moan and sigh,
I gotta right to sit and cry, down around the river...

I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues! (doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo)

(He's gotta right to sing the blues) I gotta right to sing the blues!
(He's gotta right to moan and sigh) I gotta right t' moan and sigh!

I kno' the deep blue sea, will soon be callin' me,
It must be love, say what you choose,
I gotta right to sing the blues... the blues,
I gotta right (the right!) tonight (tonight!)
I gotta right to sing the blues! (doo doo, doo doo, doo wah!)

Breezin' Along With The Breeze lyrics - Perry Como

I'm just breezin' along with the breeze,
Trailing the rails, I'm a roamin' the seas.
Like the birdies that sing in the trees,
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please.

The sky is the only roof I have over my head,
And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed.
I'm just goin' along as I please,
Breezin' along with the breeze.

And when I'm weary, mother nature makes me a bed.

Breezin' along with the breeze.

It's The Talk Of The Town lyrics - Perry Como

I can't show my face,
Can't go anyplace,
People stop an' stare,
It's so hard to bare,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town...

Every time we meet,
My heart skips a beat,
We don't stop to speak,
'Though it's just a week,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town...

We send out invitations,
To friends and relations,
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations,
Gave congratulations,
How can you face them?
What can you say?

Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town...

You Do Something To Me lyrics - Perry Como

You do somethin' to me,
Somethin' that simply mystifies me,
Tell me, why should it be?
You have the power to hypnotize me...

Let me live 'neath your spell,
Do do that 'voodoo' that you do so well!
For you do somethin' to me,
That nobody else could do!

It Happened In Monterey lyrics - Perry Como

It happened in monterey, a long time ago,
I met her in monterey, in ol' mexico.
Stars an' steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine,
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine.

It happened in monterey, without thinkin' twice,
I left her an' threw away the key to paradise.
My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That I left in ol' monterey!

(it happened in monterey, a long time ago,
He met her in monterey, in old mexico.)
Stars and steel guitars and luscious lips as red as wine,
Broke somebody's heart and I'm afraid that it was mine.

I left her an' threw away the key to paradise.
My indiscreet heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That I left in ol' monterey!

One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) lyrics - Perry Como

It's a quarter t' three,
There's no one in the place except you an' me.
So, set 'em up Joe, I've got a little story that you otta kno.
We're drinkin' my friend, t' the end of a brief episode,
Make it one for ma baby an' one more for the road...

I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine,
I'm feelin' so bad, I wish you'd make the music dreamy an' sad,
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your 'code'
Make it one for ma baby, one more for the road...

You'd never kno' it, but Buddy, I'm kind of a poet,
And I've got a lot of things to say.

And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me,
Until it's talked away...

Well, that's how it goes, and Joe I kno' you're gettin' anxious t' close,
So thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear...
This torch that I've found, must be drowned or it soon will explode,
Make it one for ma baby, an' one more for the road...

That long, long road!

In The Still Of The Night lyrics - Perry Come

(Do you love me? Do you love me?)

In the still of the night, as I gaze from my window,
At the moon in it's flight, my thoughts all stray to you...

In the still of the night, while the world is in slumber,
Oh the times without number, Darling when I say to you,
"Do you love me, as I love you?
Are you my life to be, my dreams come true? (Will you be my dream come true?)
Or, will this dream of mine fade out of sight?"

Like the moon growing dim, on the rim of the hill,
In the chill, still of the night... (Do you love me?)

(Do you love me?)

In the still of the night...

'Twas The Night Before Christmas lyrics - Perry Como

'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse!

The stockings all hung
by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there!

The children were nestled
all safe in their beds,
while visions of sugarplums
danced in their heads!

And Mom in her kerchief
and I in my cap,
had just settled down
for a long winter's nap!

When out on the lawn
there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed
to see what was the matter!

Away to the window
I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash!

The moon on the breast
of the new fallen snow,
gave the lustre of midday
to object below!

When what to my wandering eyes
should appear,
but a miniature sleigh
and eight tiny reindeer!

With a little ol' driver
so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment
it must be St. Nick!

More rapid than eagles
his courses they came,
as he whistled and shouted
and called them by name:

"Now Dasher,
now Dancer,
now Prancer,
now Vixen,
on Comet,
on Cupid,
on Doner
an' Blitzen!"

To the top of the porch,
to the top of the wall,
now dash-away, dash-away,
dash-away all!

As dry leaves
before the wild hurricane fly,
when they meet with an obstacle
mount to the sky.

So, up to the housetop
the courses they flew,
with a sleigh full of toys
and St. Nicholas too!

And then in a twinkling
I heard on the roof,
the prancing and pawing
of each little hoof!

As I drew in my head
and was turning around,
down the chimney St. Nicholas
came with a bound!

He was dressed all in fur
from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished
with ashes and soot!

A bundle of toys
he had flung on his back,
and he looked like a peddler
just opening his pack!

His eyes how they twinkled,
his dimples how merry,
his cheeks were like roses,
his nose like a cherry!

His drawl little mouth
was drawn up like a bow,
and the beard of his chin
was a white as the snow!

The stump of his pipe
he held tight in his teeth,
and the smoke it encircled his head
like a wreath!

He had a broad face
and a round little belly,
that shook when he laughed
like a bowl full of jelly!

He was chubby and plump,
a right jolly old elf,
I laughed when I saw him
in spite of myself!

A wink of his eye
and a twist of his head,
soon gave me to know
I had nothing to dread!

He spoke not a word
but went straight to his work,
and filled all the stockings,
then turned with a jerk!

An' laying a finger
along side his nose,
an' giving a nod,
up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle,
an' away they all flew
like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim
as he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to All,
and to All a Goodnight!"

A Dreamer's Holiday lyrics - Perry Como

Climb aboard a butterfly and take off in the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by and do the things you please,
In the land where dollar bills are falling off the trees,
On a dreamer's hol-i-day.

Ev'ry day for breakfast, there's a dish of scrambled stars,
And for luncheon, you'll be munchin' rainbow candy bars;
You'll be livin' a-la-mode on Jupiter and Mars
On a dreamer's hol-i-day.

Make it a long vacation; time there is plenty of.
You need no res-er-va-tion -- just bring the one you love.

Help yourself to happiness and sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes and concentrate and dream for all you're worth;
You will feel ter-rif-ic when you get back down to earth
From a dreamer's holiday.

Make it a long vacation; time there is plenty of.
You need no res-er-va-tion -- just bring the one you love.

[Repeat Final Verse]

From a dreamer's hol-i-day.

A Hubba - Hubba - Hubba lyrics - Perry Como

It's always fair weather,
When hep cats get together!
And every time they meet,
Here's the way you'll hear them greet (greet!)
A hubba-hubba-hubba hello dad!

Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got back!
Well a hubba-hubba-hubba, let's shoot some breeze!
Say, whatever happened to the japanese?
Hmm a hubba-hubba-hubba, haven't you heard?
A hubba-hubba-hubba, slip me the word!

I got it from a guy who was in the kno'
It was mighty smoky over tokyo!
A friend of mine in a b-29 dropped another load for luck,
As he flew away, he was heard to say:
"a hubba-hubba-hubba yuk yuk!"

Well I gotta go fishin'
That's ok, we'll give you our permission and we'll say,
A hubba-hubba-hubba, on your way!
And I will dig you later in the usa!
Ta dah dah dee dee dee ta dee dee, ta dah dah hi hi hi tee dee dee!

A hubba-hubba-hubba, I just got in!
A hubba-hubba-hubba, well give me some skin!
Well you're lookin' mighty purdy miss curly locks!
I'm the grand old girly of the bobby socks!
Hmm yuttata yuttata yuttaton you talk big!
Well I'm the fresh tomata you can't dig!
Let's have a heart to heart'a and you'll decide!
I'm a chick what's really on the solid side!

You knock me flat, you're the kind of a cat,
Makes me wanta blow my top: "'till the end of time..."(aaaaah!)

And if you feel that way, tell me what you say?
A hubba-hubba-hubba muk muk!

Well now you're really talkin', you're no square!
You can't be from weehawken...
Hmm hmm delaware!

You got a line of jive that's really zoo!
Well I'll dig you later, baby you're all root!

You're the kind of cat, wears a sharp cravat,
And you really know your stuff!

If you feel that way, tell me what you say?
A hubba-hubba-hubba ruff ruff!

A getta long a little mousy with the great big eyes,
Well if you're lookin' for a spousey,
Why you're just my size!

Mister how you love to blubber
With that knock out squawk,
Seems your lips are made of rubber
Every time you talk!

Oh no, no, no, hubba-hubba!

Yes, yes, yes, hubba-hubba!

Bop, bop, bop, hubba-hubba!
A what you kno' (a what you kno')
A what you say (a what you say)
I say I'll dig you later baby in the usa!


All At Once You Love Her lyrics - Perry Como

(All at once you know)
(All at once you know)

You start to light her cigarette
And all at once you love her
You've scarcely talked
You've scarcely met
But all at once you love her

You like her eyes, you tell her so
She thinks you're wise and clever
You kiss goodnight and then you know
You'll kiss goodnight forever
You wonder where your heart can go
Then all at once you know
(All at once you know)

[Instrumental Interlude]

You like her eyes ('like her eyes)
You tell her so ('tell her so)
She thinks you're wise and clever
(You're wise an' clever)
You kiss goodnight and then you know
You'll kiss goodnight forever
You wonder where your heart can go
Then all at once you know
(All at once you know)

Because lyrics - Perry Como

Because, you come to me,
with naught save love,
and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
a wider world of hope and joy I see,
because you come to me!

Because you speak to me in accent sweet,
I find the roses waking 'round my feet,
and I am led through tears and joy to thee,
because you speak to me!

Because God made thee mine,
I'll cherish thee,
through light and darkness through all time to be,
and pray His love may make our love divine,
because God made thee mine!

Best Of Times - Perry Como

The best of times is now,
What's left of summer but a faded rose!
The best of times is now,
As for tomorrow, well who knows,
Who knows, who knows!

So hold this moment fast (hold it fast)
And live and love as hard as you know how (you know how)
And make this moment last (moment last)

Black Moonlight lyrics - Perry Como

Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted an' strayed
Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides!

What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed?
Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back
when I seem to be going ahead?"

To black moonlight!
Where everything reflects your colour
Darkness that is endless.
nights that leave me friendless... blue!

Black moonlight!
You make the lights of Harlem duller

Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded... too!
Why must you send...
ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing...
like shadows of love that are gone?

Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
and darken each promise of dawn?

Black moonlight!
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black, black moonlight!

Bridge Over Troubled Water lyrics - Perry Como

(originally by Simon and Garfunkel)

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all,
I'm at your side,
Oh! When times get rough,
And friends just can't be found...

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!

When you're down an' out, when you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you,
I'll take your part,
Oh! When darkness comes,
And pain is all around...

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!

Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine,
Oh! When you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind...

Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind!

C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S lyrics - Perry

When I was but a youngster
Christmas meant one thing,
that I'd be getting lots of toys that day

I learned a whole lot different
when Mother sat me down
and taught me to spell 'Christmas' this way:

'C' is for the Christ child, born upon this day
'H' for herald angels in the night
'R' means our Redeemer
'I' means Israel
'S' is for the star that shone so bright
'T' is for three wise men, they who travelled far
'M' is for the manger where He lay
'A' 's for all He stands for
'S' means Shepard's came

And that's why there's a Christmas day!

And that's why there's a Christmas day!

Frosty The Snowman lyrics - Perry Como

Frosty the snowman,
Was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made of coal.

Frosty the snowman,
Is a fairytale, they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in
That old silk they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around!

Oh, frosty, the snowman,
Was alive as he could be;
And the children say
He could laugh and play,
Just the same as you and me.

Frosty, clumsy as he can be
See him lopping along!
Off he goes on an icicle spree
With a happy song!

Frosty the snowman,
Knew the sun was hot that day,
So he said, "let's run, and we'll have some fun,
Now, before I melt away."

Down to the village,
With a broomstick in his hand,
Runnin' here and there,
All around the square,
Sayin', "catch me if you can."

He led them down the streets of town,
Right to the traffic cop...
And only paused a moment,
When he heard him holler, "stop!"

Hmm, frosty the snowman,
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye, sayin' "don't you cry,
I'll be back again some day."

Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump...
Look at frosty go!
Thumpety, thump thump, thumpety, thump thump...
Over the hills of snow!

Glendora lyrics - Perry Como

I'm in love with a dolly named, Glendora
She works in the window of a big department stor-a
Eyes of blue, hair like gold
Never been young, but she'll never get old
Oh, Glendora
I wanna see more of you

O' Glendora, O' Glendora
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you

She's so shy that I don't know how I found her
With three big body guards always workin' around her
One just nods, an' two just grins
An' three got a mouth full of safety pins
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you
(You, more of you)

(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you)
(More of you)

[Instrumental Interlude]

I stand left an' I stand right
Outta my head 'cause I'm outta sight
O' Glendora, I wanna see more of you

Late last night at the store they did some changin'
An' I stood watchin' when they started re-arrangin'
She lost her wig, she lost her arms
An' when they got through she lost all of her charms
O' Glendora, what did they do to you

(What they do, what they do, what they do)
(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, what did they do to you)

(What they do, what they do, what they do)
(O' Glendora, O' Glendora)
(O' Glendora, what did they do to you)

(Do to you, oh, what did they do to you)
O' Glendora, what did they do to you

Have I Stayed Away Too Long? lyrics - Perry Como

Have I stayed away too long?
Have I stayed away too long?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

The love light that shone so strong
Sweet love light that shone so strong
If I came home tonight, would that same light be shinin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

I'm just outside of town
I'll soon be at your door
But maybe I'd be wrong to hurry there
I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care

Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

I'd best keep out of town, and worry you no more
For, maybe someone else has made you care

Have all of my dreams gone wrong?
My beautiful dreams gone wrong?
If I came home tonight, would you still be my darlin'?
Or, have I stayed away too long?

Stayed away too long?

Hoop-Dee-Doo lyrics - Perry Como

Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
I hear a polka and my troubles are through
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-dee
This kind of music is like heaven to me
Hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
Has got me higher than a kite
Hand me down my soup and fish
I am gonna get my wish
Hoop-dee-doin' it tonight

When there's a trombone playin'
I get a thrill, I always will
When there's a concertina stretched about a mile
I always smile 'cause that's my style
When there's a fiddle in the middle
Oh, it really is a riddle how he plays a tune so sweet
Plays a tune so sweet that I could die
Lead me to the floor and hear me yell for more
'Cause I'm a hoop-dee-doin' kind of guy

(Hoop-dee-doo), hoop-dee-doo
(Hoop-dee-doo), hoop-de-doo
(I hear a polka and my troubles are through)
Ha, ha, ha
(Hoop-dee-doo), hoop-dee-doo
(Hoop-dee-dee) hoop-de-dee
(This kind of music is like heaven to me)

Oh, hoop-dee-doo (hoop-hee-doo)
Hoop-dee-doo (hoop-Dee-Doo)
Has got me higher than a kite
Hand me down my soup and fish
I am gonna get my wish
Hoop-dee-doin' it tonight

(When there's a trombone playin')
Ah, ha, ha, ha
(He gets a thrill)
I get a thrill, I always will
(He always will)
(When there's a concertina stretched about a mile
I always smile (You'll see him smile)
'Cause that's my style (Oh, that's his style)
When there's a fiddle in the middle
Oh, it really is a riddle how he plays a tune so sweet
(Plays a tune so sweet that we could die)
Ah, yes lead me to the floor and hear me yell for more
'Cause I'm a hoop-dee-doin' kind of guy

Ooooh, hoop-dee-doo, hoop-dee-doo
It's got us higher than a kite
They're in clover, we're in bloom
When we're dancin' give us room
Hoop-de-doin' it with all of our might
Rain may fall and snow may come
Nothin's gonna stop us from
Hoop-dee-doin' it
Hoop-dee-doin' it
Hoop-dee-doin' it tonight

Hush Little Darlin' lyrics - Perry Como

It's twilight on the prairie and the moon will soon be high
she'll be hurting every star up in the sky
we'll lope along to dreamland and we'll bid each care goodbye
while the wind blows through the sagebrush with a sigh!

So hush (So, hush!) little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here
let my shoulder be your pillow, you'll be safe as you can be
little darlin' you mean all the world to me
we'll always be together and I promise faithfully
that your dreams will all come true, just wait an' see

So hush (So, hush!) little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here
(we will always be together) and I promise faithfully
that your dreams will all come true, just you wait an' see

So hush, little darlin' shh
little dear, go to sleep little darlin', I'm right here...

I Dream Of You lyrics - Perry Como

You're completely unaware, dear, that my heart is in your hand
So for love's sake won't you listen and try to understand?

I dream of you more than you dream I do
How can I prove to you this love is real?
You mean to me more than you mean to be
You just can't seem to see the way I feel

When I am close to you the world is far away
The words that fill my heart my lips can't seem to say

I want you so more than you'll ever know
More than you dream I do, I dream of you

I want you so more than you'll ever know
More than you dream I do, I dream of you

I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now? lyrics - Perry Como

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

I wonder who's buying the wine, for lips that I used to call mine?
Wonder if she ever tells him of me?
I wonder who's kissing...
her now?

I'm Confessin' That I Love You lyrics - Perry Como

I'm confessin' that I love you...
Tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you,
Honest I do, need you every moment!
In your eyes I read such strange things,
But your lips deny they're true...
Will your answer really change things,
Making me blue?

I'm afraid someday you'll leave me,
Say'n can't we still be friends?
If you go, you know you'll grieve me,
All in life on you depends...
Am I guessin' that you love me?
Dreamin' dreams of you in vain,

I'm confessin' that I love you,
Over again!

I'm Gonna Love That Gal lyrics - Perry Como

I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before
I'm gonna show that gal she's the baby that I adore
When she's in my arms again
Our dreams will all come true
Then, the years between might never have been
We'll start our lives anew!

I'm gonna kiss that gal like she's never been kissed before
And though I miss that gal she's the baby I'm waitin' for

We'll never part again
She'll hold my heart again
Forever and ever more
I'm gonna love that gal like she's never been loved before!

If lyrics - Perry Como

If they made me a king
I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything
I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night
Stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed
Yet, humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd
I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth
What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you

[Instrumental Interlude]

If I ruled the night
Stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you
If the world to me bowed

If my friends were a crowd
I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth
What would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you

If Wishes Were Kisses lyrics - Perry Como

If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you
I'd hold you in my arms again the way I used to do
If wishes were kisses, how happy I would be

If dreamers were schemers, I'd make my dream come true
If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you!

If dreamers were schemers, I'd make my dream come true
If wishes were kisses, I'd still be kissing you!

It's A Lovely Day Today lyrics - Perry Como

It's a lovely day today,
So whatever you've got to do,
You've got a lovely day to do it in
That's true!

And I hope whatever you've got to do,
It's somethin' that can be done by two,
For I'd really like to stay!

It's a lovely day today,
And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
With you!

But if you've got somethin' that must be done
An' it can only be done by one,

Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!

It's a lovely day today,

It's something that can be done by two,
For I'd really like to stay!

It's a lovely day today,
And whatever you've got to do,
I'd be so happy to be doin' it
With you!

But if you've got somethin' that must be done
And it can only be done by one,
There is nothin' more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!

But if you've got somethin' that must be done
An' it can only be done by one,
There is nothing more to say,
Except it's a lovely day for sayin'

...what a lovely day for saying!

It's a lovely day for sayin'
It's a lovely day!

Ivy Rose lyrics - Perry Como

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine

As the years disappear in the twilight of time
With a sigh we will fondly recall
All the plans that we made, how we kissed unafraid
In the shade of the old ivy wall

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine

Hand in hand as we stand 'neath the old campus moon
Make believe that tomorrow is here
Picture me close to you in a dream house for two
Where the ivy grows greener each year

Ivy Rose, Ivy Rose, I'm in love with you
Cling to me, cling to me like a vine
I'll be yours when tonight is a memory
I'll be yours and you'll always be mine

Jingle Bells lyrics - Perry Como

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh!

Dashing through the snow (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)

O'er the fields we go (o'er the fields, jingle, jingle!)
Laughin' all the way!

Makin' spirits bright (la, la, la la!)
What fun it is to ride an' sing,
A sleighing song tonight!

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago (A day or two ago...)
I thought I'd take a ride (I thought I'd take a ride...)
And soon Miss Fanny Bride (And soon Miss Fanny Bride...)
Was seated by my side...
(The horse was lean and lank)
Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,

And we...
We got up sot!

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
(Oh what fun it is to ride...)
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
(Oh what fun it is to ride...)
In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey!

Now the ground is white (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
Go it while you're young (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
Take the girls tonight (Take the girls tonight...)
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a Bob-Tailed Nag (jingle, jing, jing, jingle!)
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch 'em to an open sleigh,
An' crack you'll take the lead!

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride...
In a one-horse open sleigh!

Joy To The World lyrics - Perry Como

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing (And heav'n and nature sing!)
And heav'n and nature sing (And heav'n and nature sing!)
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing.

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy (Repeat the sounding joy!)
Repeat the sounding joy (Repeat the sounding joy!)
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love (And wonders of His love!)
And wonders of His love (And wonders of His love!)
And wonders, and wonders of His love.

Juke Box Baby lyrics - Perry Como

When my jukebox baby takes the floor
'Round the old jukebox in the candy store
The joint starts jumpin'
Till the roof comes tumblin' down
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town

(Jukebox baby) put a nickel in for Maybelline
(Jukebox baby) drop another one for Seventeen
Jukebox baby) whisper to your daddy-o
Three little love words
(Kokomo)

How ya gonna get your homework done
When you keep that jukebox on the run
You don't dig Latin like ya dig that crazy sound
(Choo-choo-wah, choo-choo-wah, shooby-doo-wah)
Jukebox baby, you're the swingin'est doll in town

(Jukebox baby) I hear you knockin'
(Jukebox baby) Keep the coin box hoppin'
(Jukebox baby) Tell me sincerely
That you ain't forgettin' no Tina Marie

(Hip-hip, hop-hop, ho-ho, aww

Just Born (To Be Your Baby) lyrics - Perry Como

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)

Some people are born to be doctors
Some are born to be lumber jacks
Some are born just to take life easy
Others are born to break their backs

But I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)

Some people will kiss and nothin' happens
Other hearts are made of stone
But whenever I feel our lips meet
Somethin' starts crawlin' all through my bones

'Cause I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be...)

If now an' then you start to wonder
Will I be the perfect mate
Don't you worry my purdy little darlin'
It was all arranged by fate

'Cause I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
(It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be...)

Some people will search for love a lifetime
Some never feel love in their hearts
But I was born with a silver spoon
I had your love'a right from the start

Yes, I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you, baby
It's true... (It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be your baby...)
(Just born to be your own)

Yes, I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you baby
It's true...
(It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

(Nobody else will do)

Yes, I'm just born to be your baby
Just born to love you, baby
It's true...
(It's true, it's true)
Nobody else will do

(Just born to be your baby...)
Nobody else will do
[Repeat 2x]

(Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo)
(Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo)
(Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo)
(Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo, Ko ko mo)

Well talk to me baby, whisper in my ear
Talk to me baby, whisper in my ear

There's dimples on her elbows, dimples on her knees
There's dimples on her elbows, dimples on her knees
She thrills and thrills me
With just a little squeeze

When I holler hey-ey,(hey) Ko ko mo
(Ko ko mo, ko ko mo, ko ko mo)
Don't you know
I love you Ko ko mo

Lili Marlene lyrics - Perry Como

(This is the story of Lili Marlene,
doo, doo, doo doo, doo!)

Would you like to hear the story,
of a girl that many soldiers know?
It's a tale of love in all it's glory,
they tell when the lights are soft an' low!

Underneath the lamp post by the brigades
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
she waits for a boy who marched away
and though he's gone, she hears him say:

"Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene!"

(This is the story of Lili Marlene!)

With a kiss she gave her promise,
to be constant as the stars above,
every soldier knows she's kept her promise,
and she has been faithful to her love!

(Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,

for this is the place a vow was made
and breezes sing her serenade...)

"Oh promise you'll be true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till I return to you,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,"

(This is the story of Lili Marlene!
Though wee stems have an ending,
no one knows just what the end will be
but tonight when twilight is descending,
if you'll come along, here's what you'll see...)

Underneath the lamp post by the brigade
standing all alone every night you'll see her wait,
and as they go marching to the fray
the soldiers all salute and say:

We'll tell him you've been true,
fare thee well Lili Marlene,
'till he returns to you,
fare thee well...
Lili Marlene!

Marchin' Along To The Blues lyrics - Perry Como

My dreams are blue
My schemes are blue
Everything I look at
Seems to turn to blue
Except the sky above
As gray as it can be
That follows me
An' my broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues

The traffic lights shine overhead
They're the deepest blue
Instead of green an' red
Especially on the corner
Where we used to meet
I hear the beat
Of a broken hearted song
marchin' along to the blues

[Instrumental Interlude]

You promised me
You would never make me cry
But look whatcha did
When you said goodbye
The moon is blue
The stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news
That we were through
They can't believe
That after making you my own
I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues

[Instrumental Interlude]

Oh, look whatcha did
When you said goodbye
The moon is blue
The stars are blue
Ever since they heard the news
That we were through
They can't believe
That after making you my own
I'd be alone
With a broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues

With a broken hearted song
Marchin' along to the blues
