The Quintessential-Volume 6

Billie Holiday( 比莉哈樂黛 ) The Quintessential-Volume 6歌詞
1.You Go To My Head

Haven gillespie / j. fred coots

You go to my head
You linger like a haunting refrain
And i find you spinning round
In my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head
Like a sip of sparkling burgundy brew
And i find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought
That you might give a thought
To my plea, casts a spell over me
Still i say to myself
Get ahold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile
That makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand julys
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though i'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance
In this crazy romance
You go to my head, you go to my head

Though i'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance
In this crazy romance
You go to my head, you go to my head


2.The Moon Looks Down And Laughs

Bert kalmar / sid silvers / harry ruby

The moon looks down and laughs
And says, 'i told you so'
Why did i let you go away
I was so sure you loved me madly
And when i wanted you
You'd gladly come back to me
I never realised the day we said goodbye
How very sorry i would be
And every night when i walk
Up and down this lonesome town
The moon looks down and laughs at me


3.If I Were You

Buddy bernier / robert d. emmerich

If i were you
Here's what i'd do
I'd give my heart a break
Instead of trying to break my heart

It i were you
I'd do this too
I'd string along with me
Instead of keepin' me on a string

I'd love me the whole day long
You'd never catch me nappin'
Wouldn't have a change of heart
Not for fear
That such a thing should happen

It i were you
Here's what i'd do
I'd stick to me
My whole life through
It i were you


4.Forget If You Can

Jack manus / k. upham / l. joy

Forget if you can
Romantic music one magical night
A corner table in dim candle light
A kiss that was heaven for two

Forget if you can
The day we hiked to where nobody knows
The swell spaghetti at tony and joe's
It hasn't been fun without you

Don't you remember
All the silly things we used to do
The way we laughed
When we were photographed
As handsome hat and his ten-timing gal
Why shouldn't we play
More happy moments like we used to spend
They were so perfect
Too perfect to end
Let your heart forget it you can


5.Havin' Myself A Time

Leo robin / ralph rainger

I'm having myself a time
I mean i'm having what i want
Wanting what i have
Doing what i like
And liking what i do
And i'm having myself a time

I never could save a dime
And so i'm living like a lord
Acting like, a loon
Lying in the sun
And sighing in the moon
And i'm having myself a lime

When i hum songs
They're all dumb songs
Without reason nor rhyme
But i'm certainly in my prime
I friean i'm happy as a bird, flying up above
Walk a little love and get a little love
And i'm having myself a time

But i'm certainly in my prime
I mean i'm happy as a bird, flying up above
Walk a little love and get a little love
And i'm having myself a time


6.Says My Heart

Frank loesser / burton lane

Fall in love, tall in love
Says my heart,
It's romance, take a chance
Says my heart
But each time that i'm almost in your arms
This old schoolteacher brain of mine
Keeps bringing in false alarms
Then my head rolls instead and i'm wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So i kiss and run
But the moment we're apart
'oh! you fool, that was love'
Says my heart

Then my head rolls instead and i'm wise
To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
So i kiss and run
But the moment we're apart
'oh! you fool, that was love'
Says my heart.

It wasn't the moon, it wasn't the stars
'that was love!'
Says my heart


7.I Wish I Had You

B. green / a. stillman / claude thornhill

Joys that come to others
Seldom come to me
But if i only were aladin
How different things would be
Every time i wish
I wish i had you
Every time i dream
The dream is for two
You're the part within my heart
That beats all day
Seems to say, 'i love you'

Everywhere i go
You're all that i see
Wonder if you know
What you mean to me
Wishes would be grand
If only they came true
For every time i wish
I wish i had you


8.I'm Gonna Lock My Heart(And Throw Away The Key)

Jimmy eaton / terry shand

I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key
I'm wise to all those tricks you played on me
I'm gonna turn my back on love
Gonna snob the moon above
Seal all my windows up with tin
So the love bug can't get in
Park my romance right alone the curb
Hang a sign upon my heart
'please don't disturb'
And if i never fall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw the key

And it i never tall in love again
That's soon enough for me
I!m gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key

I'll never fall in love again
I'm gonna lock my heart
And throw away the key


9.The Very Thought Of You

Ray noble

The very thought of you
I forget to do
Those little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
I'm livin' in a kind of a daydream
I'm happy as a queen
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Till i'm near to you
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you,
The very thought of you, my love


10.I Can't Get Started

Ira gershwin / vernon duke

Iv'e been around the world in a plane
Settled revolutions in spain
The north pole i have charted
But can't get started with you
And at the golf course i'm under par
Metro-goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But can't get no place with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics i write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Baby but what good dose it do
I've been consulted by franklin d.
Even gabel had me to tea
But now i'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics i write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good does it do
I've been consulted by franklin d.
Even basic had me to tea
But now i'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you


11.I've Got A Date With A Dream

Mack gordon / harry revel

I've got a date with a dream
A dream divine
I've got a date with a dream
Who may be mine

I've got to hurry and dress
To meet him at seven
When any old corner becomes a corner
Of heaven, blue heaven

I'm gonna dance with a dream
We'll dance on air
I'm gonna speak to a dream
And tell him i care

And when the evening is over
I'll kiss him goodnight and then
I'll have a date with a dream
And meet him all over again


12.You Can't Be Mine(And Someone Else's Too)

J.c. johnson / c. webb

You can't be mine
And someone else's too
Someday you'll find
I've been a friend to you
I don't believe that life's worth living
I gave you all there was worth giving
You never cared how i fared or what i do

I called you mine but i was not to blame
For all the time you played up to
Hand and game
Second hand love i can't see
It's good for some but not for me
You can't be mine
And somene else's too


13.Everybody's Laughing

Sammy lerner / ben oakland

Everybody's laughing
Yes everybody's laughing
They know that you and i are through
And everybody's laughing
I told the world you loved me
And bragged about it proudly
But since they know it's over
They're laughing at me loudly.

People love to linger
So they can point a finger
And tear apart a gal whose heart
Was taken through the wringer
It we could start all over
The laugh might be on them
But meanwhile
Everybody's laughing
It we could start all over
The laugh might be on them
But meanwhile
Everybody's laughing


14.Here It Is Tomorrow Again

P. gibson / roy ringwald

See the house lights start to blink
And the sky is turnin' pink
Gosh what will the neighbors think
Cause here it is tomorrow again

We could share a perfect day
But we've danced the night away
Guess you'd better hit the hay
Cause here it is tomorrow again

We saw the sunset in the sky
Soon we'll see the dawn
Mother nature's about to rise
And father time is marchin' on

Dit you hear my daddy yell?
We've been leaning on the bell
Kiss me quick and run like sixty
Because here it is tommorrow again


15.Say It With A Kiss

Johnny mercer / harry warren

Let me hear you say it
Say it with a kiss
It you mean that look i've seen
Say it with a kiss
There is wine and candle shine
And music in your lips
Music in the tops
Of your fingertips

Words may not convey it
Say it with a kiss
And your look might speak a book
That my eyes might miss
You don't have to know the words
To love's familiar tune
Say it with a kiss
And say it soon


16.April In My Heart

H. meinardi / hoagy carmichael

There's snowflakes in the sky
And geese are flying high
But it's april in my heart again
The devil got his due
Love's holiday is through
Love and i have made a happy start again
Through leaves lie on the ground
The world just turned around
It isn't fall at all you see
It's spring that i have found

There's frost in central park
At five it's almost dark
What's the difference
When you've heard love's sweet amend
There's snowflakes in the sky
And geese are flying high
But there's april in my heart again


17.I'll Never Fail You

Irving taylor / vic mizzy

I'll never fail you
Whatever may be
I'll never tail you
Depend upon me
I'll see them all through
The things you've planned.
But if they fall through
I'll understand,
And when shadows trail you
I'll bring you the sun
I'll never fail you
There's no other one
I'm yours forever
We never will part
I'll never never fail you sweetheart


18.They Say

Edward heyman / paul mann / stephan weiss

They say you have no lips
For a fool such as i
They say you just believe
In hello and goodbye
And they say that the one i admire
Isn't even remotely concerned
And that i'll go on playing with fire
Until i have learned
My heart has been burned

They say i shouldn't dream
Of your face in the moon
They say all of my dreams will be
Nightmares too soon
Let them talk
Let them think what they want to
If it makes them feel happy that way
I know i'll always love you
No matter what they say
