The Best Of The Improv

Tony Bennett( 東尼班尼特 ) The Best Of The Improv歌詞
1.This Can't Be Love

This can't be love
Because I feel so well
No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs

This can't be love
I get no dizzy spells
My head is not in the sky

My heart does not stand still
Just hear it beat
This is too sweet to be love

This can't be love


Because I feel so well
But still I love to look in your eyes

My heart does not stand still
Just heart it beat
This is to sweet to be love

This can't be love
Because I feel so well
But still I love to look in your eyes

I love to look in your eyes


2.Make Someone Happy

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy.
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you.
One gal you're everything to.

Fame, if you win it,
Comes and goes in a minute.
Where's the real stuff in life to cling to?
Love is the answer,
Someone to love is the answer.
Once you've found her,
Build your world around her.
Make someone happy.
Make just one someone happy
And you will be happy too.


3.Isn't It Romantic

Isn't it romantic
Music in the night
A dream that can be heard

Isn't it romantic
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
I hear the breezes playing in the trees up above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love

Isn't it romantic
merely to be young on such a night as this
Isn't it romantic
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss

Sweet symbols in the moonlight
do you think that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?

Isn't it romantic
On a moonlight night
She'll cook me onion soup

Kiddies are romantic
and if we don't fight we soon will have a troupe
We'll help the population,
it's a duty that we owe to dear old France
Isn't it romance?


4.Life Is Beautiful

What to say
Where to start
I'll just tell what's in my heart

Life is beautiful
In every way
Life is lovely
As a spring bouquet

Since I fell in love with you
Life is like a dream
That has come true

For life is sunshine
Smiling brightly
On a summer day

Life is rainbows
Chasing all the clouds of gray

Life is beautiful
And fine
But darling,
Only because you're mine


5.Blue Moon(Album Version)

Once upon a time
Before I took up smiling
I hated the moonlight!
Shadows of the night
That poets find beguiling
Seemed flat as the moonlight
With no one to stay up for
I went to sleep at ten
Life was a bitter cup
For the saddest of all men

Once upon a time
My heart was just an organ
My life had no mission
Now that I have you
To be as rich as Morgan
Is my one ambition
Once I awoke at seven
Hating the morning light
Now I awake in Heaven
And all the world's all right

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a pray'r for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper 'Please adore me'
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon! Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper 'Please adore me'
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon! Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart


6.Thou Swell

Thou swell! Thou witty!
Thou sweet! Thou grand!
Wouldst kiss me pretty?
Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too;
What they do to me.
Hear me holler I choose a Sweet lollapaloosa in thee.
I'd feel so rich, a hut for two;
Two rooms and a kitchen I'm sure would do;
Give me just a plot of,
Not a lot of land,
And Thou swell! Thou Witty! Thou Grand!


7.You Don't Know What Love Is

You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart feels
The heart of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears


Lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts break
For love that cannot live but never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know

You'll never know what love is


8.My Romance

My romance doesn't have to have a moon in the sky,
My romance doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by.
No month of May, no twinkling stars,
No hide away, no soft guitars.

My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly surprising refrain.
Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true,
My romance doesn't need a thing but you.


9.The Lady Is A Tramp(Album Version)

She wined and dined on Mulligan Stew
And never wished for Turkey
As she hitched and hiked and grifted too
From Maine to Albuquerque

Alas, she missed the 'Beaux Arts Ball'
And what is twice as sad
She was never at a party where
They honored Noel Coward

But social circles spin too fast to see
My hobohemia is the place to be

She get too hungry, for dinner at eight
She like the theater, but never come late
She never bother, with people she hate
That's why the lady is a tramp

She don't like crap games, with barons and earls
Won't go to Harlem, in ermine and pearls
Won't dish the dirt, with the rest of the girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

She like the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care, she's broke, it's okay
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

She like the free, fresh wind in her hair
Life without care, she's broke, it's okay
Hate California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp

That's why the lady is a tramp


10.You Must Believe In Spring(Album Version)

When lonely feelings chill
The meadows of your mind,
Just think if Winter comes,
Can Spring be far behind?

Beneath the deepest snows,
The secret of a rose
Is merely that it knows
You must believe in Spring!

Just as a tree is sure
Its leaves will reappear;
It knows it's emptiness
Is just the time of year

The frozen mountain dreams
Of April's melting streams,
How crystal clear it seems,
You must believe in Spring!

You must believe in love
And trust it's on it's way,
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of May

So in a world of snow,
Of things that come and go,
Where what you think you know,
You can't be certain of,
You must believe in Spring and love

You must believe in love
And trust it's on it's way,
Just as the sleeping rose
Awaits the kiss of May

So in a world of snow,
Of things that come and go,
Where what you think you know,
You can't be certain of,
You must believe in Spring and love

You must believe in Spring and love
You must believe in Spring and love


11.Reflections

Long, long ago
I gave my heart away
Wanting love so
And in naïveté
I dreamed, and dreamed, oh
How sweet life seemed
So long ago
With summer every day
How could I know
Some loves need games to play
My world fell flat
When love said, “That's that”
Love may burn
We live and learn
We find every answer
Out of the blue
Life was serene again
You wanted me
The world turned green again
You held me fast
Love was mine
At last


12.I Could Write A Book

A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H
I never learned to spell
at least not well.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7
I never learned to count
a great amount.
But my busy mind is burning
to use what learning I've got.
I won't waste any time,
I'll strike while the iron is hot.

If they asked me, I could write a book
about the way you walk and whisper and look.
I could write a preface on how we met
so the world would never forget.
And the simple secret of the plot
is just to tell them that I love you a lot.
Then the world discovers as my book ends
how to make two lovers a friend


13.Maybe September

Maybe September
I'll love again
Maybe a rainbow
Will catch me then
This little boy lost
Will find his way once more
Just like before
When lips were tender

The shade of a willow
Where love was born
A face on a pillow
In early morn
I still see that golden world
In all it's splendor
Maybe September
Love will come again

A taller tree, a sweeter log
A bluer morning sky above
And maybe come September
I'll share these wonders
With my love


14.As Time Goes By

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth
At times relax, relieve the tension
No matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply as time goes by

And 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 and love songs never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and 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 and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by


15.While We're Young

Songs were made to sing,
While we're young.
Every day is Spring,
While we're young.

None can refuse,
Time flies too fast!
Too dear to lose,
Too sweet to last!

Though it may be just
For today!
Share our love we must
While we may!

So blue the skies,
All sweet surprise,
Shines before our eyes,
While we're young!


16.I Left My Heart In San Francisco

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me
