You're The Cream In My Coffee (De Sylva/Brown/Henderson)

You're the cream in my coffee
You're the salt in my stew
You'll always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

You're the starch in my collar
You're the lace in my shoe
You'll always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you

Most men tell love tales
And each phrase dovetails
You've heard each known way
This way is my own way

You're the sail of my love boat
You're the captain and crew
You'll always be my necessity
I'd be lost without you


For All We Know (Coots/Lewis)

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say Good night
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it

For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go
Like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know

So love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know


Too Marvellous For Words (Whiting/Mercer)

You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous

You're just too wonderful
I'll never find the words
That says enough, tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough

You're much, too much, and just too very very
To ever be in Webster's dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words

You're much, too much
And just too very very
To ever be, to ever be in Webster's dictionary
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words


Embraceable You (Gershwin)

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.

Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me.
You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all,
I want my arms I knew.

Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa, come to papa, do!
My sweet embraceable you.


If I Had You (Shapiro)

I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all the while
I could change the grey skies to blue
If I had you
I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals, I'd never mind
I could start my life all a new
If I had you

I could climb the snow capped mountains
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross the burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do
If I had you

I could be a king, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothing I couldn't do


When I Take My Sugar To Tea (Fain/Kahal/Norman)

When i take my sugar to tea,
All the boys are jealous of me,
'cause i never take her where the gang goes,
When i take my sugar to tea.

I'm a rowdy dowdy,
That's me, she's a high hat baby, that's she,
So i never take her where the gang goes,
When i take my sugar to tea.

Every Sunday afternoon,
We forget about our cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz,
With those millionaires.

When i take my sugar to tea,
I'm as ritzy as i can be,
'cause i never take her where the gang goes,
When i take my sugar to tea.

Every Sunday afternoon,
We forget about those cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz,
With those millionaires.

When i take my sugar to tea,
I'm as ritzy as i can be,
'cause i never take her where the gang goes,
When i take, take my sugar to tea.


I'm Through With Love (Maineck/Livingstone/Kahn)

I'm through with love
I'll never fall again
Said adieu to love
Don't ever call again
For I must have you or no one
Because I'm through with love

I've locked my heart
I'll keep my feelings there
I've stocked my heart
with icy, frigid air
For I mean to care for no one
Because I'm through with love

Why did you lead me
To think you could care?
You didn't need me
For you had your share
of slaves around you
To hound you and swear
with deep emotion and devotion to you

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love

Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me
It can never bring the thing that used to be
For I must have you or no one
And so I'm through with love


You Call It Madness, But I Call It Love (Du Bois/Gregory/Conrad)

I can't forget the night I met you,
that's all I'm dreaming of.
Now you call it madness,
But I call it love.

You made a promise to be faithful
By all the stars above.
And now you call it madness,
But I call it love.

My heart is beating,
It keeps repeating for you constantly.
you're all I'm needing
And so I'm pleading,
Please come back to me.

You made a plaything out of romance,
What were you thinking of?
Now you call it madness,
But I call it love.

You made a plaything out of romance,
And what were you thinking of?
For now you call it madness,
But I call it love


'Tis Autumn (Nemo)

Old Father Time checked, so there'd be no doubt,
Called on the north wind to come on out,
Then cupped his hands, so proudly to shout,
"La-de-da, de-da-de-da, 'tis Autumn!".

The trees say they're tired, they bore too much fruit,
Charmed all the wayside, there's no dispute,
Now shedding leaves, they don't give a hoot!
La-de-da, de-da-de-dum, 'tis Autumn!

Then the birds got together
To chirp about the weather,

Hmm - hmm - hmm,
After makin' their decision
With birdie-like precision,
Turned about and made a bee-line to the south.

My, holding you close really is no crime,
Ask the birds, the trees, and Old Father Time,
It's just to help the mercury climb,
La-de-da, de-da-de-da, 'tis Autumn!

It's just to help the mercury climb,
La-de-da, de-da-de-da, 'tis Autumn!
'Tis Autumn!


What Can I Say After I Say I'm Sorry (Lyman/Donaldson)

What can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?
What can I do to prove it to you, I'm sorry?
I didn't mean to ever be mean to you
If I didn't care I wouldn't feel like I do
If I am wrong be right or wrong I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry, and I'm so sorry dear
what can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?

If I am wrong be right or wrong I don't blame you
Why should I take somebody like you and shame you
I know that I made you cry, and I'm so sorry dear
So what can I say, dear, after I say I'm sorry?
