All of Me
You took my kisses and all my love
You taught me how to
care
Am I to be just remnant of a one side love affair
All you took
I gladly gave
There is nothing left for me
to save
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no
good without you
Take my lips
I want to loose them
Take my arms
I'll
never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on
dear without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take
all of me
What A Wonderul World
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me
and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed
day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on
the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much
more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes
I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I Wonder
I wonder my little darling
Where can you be this moonlit
night
Are you holding someone tight
Oh Baby, I wonder
My heart is aching, I'm a fool
To let it go on breaking
Maybe I'll awake and find that I'm mistaken
I wonder
Baby, since we're through I've been through lover's lane
But in my heart there's only pain
You went traveling, but will it last?
While I'm traveling nowhere fast, sweetheart, sweeheart
I wonder, well, well, well, little baby
If this new love
dies, where will you be
Will your heart come running back to me
Baby, I
wonder
A Kiss To Build A Dream On
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will
thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build
a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will
feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a
dream on
And when I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
Weaving romances, making believe they're true
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination
will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build
a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
Weaving
romances, making believe they're true
Oh, give me lips for just a moment
And my imagination will
make that moment live
Oh, give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build
a dream on
Christmas In New Orleans
Magnolia trees at night
Sparkling bright
Fields of
cotton look wintery white
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans
A barefoot choir in prayer
Fills the air
Mississippi
folks
Are gathering there
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans
You'll see a dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band
To a
good old Creole beat
And golly what a spirit
You can only hear it
Down
on Basin Street
Your cares will disappear
When you hear
Hallelujah St.
Nicholas is here
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans
You'll see
A dixieland Santa Claus
Leading the band
To a good old Creole beat
And golly what a spirit
You can only hear it
Down on Basin Street
Your cares will disappear
When you hear
Hallelujah
old St. Nicholas is here
When it's Christmas time
In New Orleans
When it's Christmas time in
It's Christmas time in in New
Orleans
Saint Louis Blues
I hate's to see dat ev'nin' sun go down
Hate's to see dat
ev'nin' sun go down
Cause ma baby, she done lef' dis town.
If I feel
tomorrow lak ah feel today
Feel tomorrow lak ah feel today,
I'll pack up
my trunk, and make ma git away.
Saint Louis woman wid her diamon' rings
Pulls dat man
'roun' by her apron strings.
'Twern't for powder an' her store-bought hair
De man she love wouldn't gone nowhere, nowhere.
Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as blue as ah can be.
Like a
man done throwed that rock down into de sea
Got dem Saint Louis Blues I'm as
blue as ah can be.
Went to de gypsy get her fortune tole
To de gypsy, done got
her fortune tole,
Cause she most wile 'bout her Jelly Roll.
Now dat gypsy
tole her, "Don't you wear no black."
She done tole her, "Don't you wear no
black.
Go to Saint Louis, you can win him back."
If she git to Cairo, make Saint Louis by herself,
Git to Cairo, find her old friend Jeff,
gwine to pin
herself, right there, to his side If she flag his train, she sho' can ride.
(spoken) And she sang
Got dem Saint Louis Blues jes as blue as ah can be.
Dat man
got a heart lak a rock cast into de sea.
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far
from me.
Doggone it!
I loves day man lak a schoolboy loves his pie,
Lak
a Kentucky Col'nel ....loves his mint an' rye.
I'll love ma baby till the day
ah die.
Now a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track,
Said a black-headed gal makes a freight train jump the track,
But a long tall
gal makes a preacher ball the jack.
Lawd, a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town,
I said a blonde-headed woman make a good man leave the town,
But a red-headed
woman make a boy slap his pappy down.
We Have All The Time In The World
We have all the time in the world
Time enough for life
To unfold all the precious things
Love has in store
We have all the love in the world
If that's all we have you
will find
We need nothing more
Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the
world
Far behind us
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing
more, nothing less
Only love
Every step of the way
Will find us
With the cares of the
world
Far behind us, yes
We have all the time in the world
Just for love
Nothing
more, nothing less
Only love
Only love
It's Been A Long Long Time
Kiss me once...and kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since I can't
remember when
It's been a long, long time
You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you
Or just how empty they all seemed without you
So kiss me once, then kiss me
twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long, long time
(instrumental break)
Oh, kiss me once...and kiss me twice
Then kiss me once
again
It's been a long...such, a long time
I haven't felt like this my
dear
Since I don't remember when
It's been a long....been a mighty long
time
You'll never know how many dreams
I’ve dreamed about you
Or how empty they all seem without you
So kiss me once...and kiss me twice
And kiss me once again
It's been a long...long time
It’s been a mighty, mighty long time
Hello Dolly
I said hello, dolly,......well, hello, dolly
It’s so nice
to have you back where you belong
You’re lookin’ swell, dolly.......i can
tell, dolly
You’re still glowin’...you’re still crowin’...you’re still goin’
strong
I feel that room swayin’......while the band’s playin’
One of your
old favourite songs from way back when
So..... take her wrap,
fellas.......find her an empty lap, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away again
(instrumental break)
I said hello, dolly,.....well, hello, dolly
It’s so nice to
have you back where you belong
You’re lookin’ swell, dolly.....i can tell,

You’re still glowin’...you’re still crowin’...you’re still goin’ strong
I feel the room swayin’...while that ole band keeps on playin’
One of your
old favourite songs from way back when
So...golly, gee, fellas....find her an
empty knee, fellas
Dolly’ll never go away....i said she’ll never go away
Dolly’ll never go away again
