Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For bein' so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you

I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you

I should care, I should go around weeping
I should care, I should go without sleeping
Strangely enough, I sleep well
'cept for a dream or two
But then I count my sheep well
Funny how sheep can lull you to sleep

So I should care, I should let it upset me
I should care but it just doesn't get me
Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do

I should care but it just doesn't get me
Maybe I won't find someone as lovely as you
But I should care and I do

And I do

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love.

I'm Glad There Is You

(Jimmy Dorsey, Paul Madeira)

In this world of ordinary people
Extraordinary people
I'm glad there is you
 
In this world of over-rated pleasures
Of under-rated treasures
I'm so glad there is you
 
I live to love, I love to live with you beside me
This role so new, I'll muddle through with you to guide me
 
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
 
(brief instrumental)
 
In this world where many, many play at love
And hardly any stay in love
I'm glad there is you
 
More than ever, I'm glad there is you

Can't Help Lovin' That Man (1927)

(Jerome Kern, Oscar Hammerstein II)

Oh listen, sister
I love my mister man and I can't tell you why
There ain't no reason why I should love that man
It must be somethin' that the angels done planned
The chimney's smokin'
The roof is leakin' in
But he don't seem to care
He can be happy
With just a sip of gin
I even love him when his kisses got gin

Fish got to swim and birds got to fly
I got to love one man till I die
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

Tell me he's lazy
Tell me he's slow
Tell me I'm crazy, maybe, I know
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

When he goes away
That's a rainy day
And when he comes back that day is fine
The sun will shine

He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man of mine

He can come home as late as can be
Home without him ain't no home to me
Can't help lovin' that man the way I do,
Oh can't help lovin' that man of mine

I Love You

(Cole Porter)

I love you
Hums the April breeze.
I love you
Echo the hills.
I love you
The golden dawn agrees
As once more she sees
Daffodils.
It's spring again
And birds on the wing again
Start to sing again
The old melody.
I love you,
That's the song of songs
And it all belongs
To you and me.

It's spring again
And birds on the wing again
Start to sing again
The old melody.
I love you,
That's the song of songs
And it all belongs
To you and me.

Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
Ev'ryone is saying you don't love me
Say it isn't so

Ev'rywhere I go, ev'ryone I know
Whispers that you're growing tired of me
Say it isn't so

People say that you
Found somebody new
And it won't be long before you leave me
Say it isn't true

Say that ev'rything is still okay
That's all I want to know
And what they're saying
Say it isn't so

I don't care if there's powder on my nose.
I don't care if my hairdo is in place.
I've lost the very meaning of repose. 
I never put a mudpack onmy face.
Oh, who'd have thought
that I'd walk in the daze now?
I never go to shows at night,
but just to matinees now.
I see the show
and home I go.

Once I laughed when I heard you saying
that I'd be playing solitaire,
uneasy in my easy chair.
It never entered my mind.

Once you told me I was mistaken,
that I'd awaken with the sun
and order orange juice for one.
It never entered my mind.

You have what I lack myself
and now I even have to scratch my back myself.

Once you warned me that if you scorned me
I'd sing the maiden's prayer again
and wish that you where there again
to get into my hair again.
It never entered my mind.

Life has just begun,
Jack has found his Jill;
Don't know what you've done
But I'm all a-thrill.
How could words express
Your divine appeal?
You can never guess
All the love I feel
From now on, Lady/Darling, I insist,
For me no other girls/guys exist.

'S wonderful ! 'S marvelous!
(That) You should care for me!
'S awful nice ! 'S paradise!
'S what I love to see!

You've made my life so glamorous,
You can't blame me for feeling amorous,
'S wonderful ! 'S marvelous!
That you should care for me!

No moon at all, what a night
Even lightnin' bugs have dimmed their lights
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all

Don't make a sound, it's so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
What a perfect chance to park
And there's no moon at all

Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere

No moon at all way up above
This is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all

Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere

No moon at all up above
Aww, this is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all

Aww, there's no moon at all
There is no moon at all
No moon at all

You know the feeling of something half remembered,
of something that never happened, yet you recall it well.
You know the feeling of recognizing someone
that you've never met as far as you could tell, well.

Laura is the face in the misty light,
footsteps that you hear down the hall.
The laugh that floats on a summer night
that you can never quite recall.
And you see Laura on the train that is passing thru.
Those eyes, how familiar they seem.
She gave your very first kiss to you.
That was Laura but she's only a dream.

Gone with the wind,
Just like a leaf that has blown astray;
Gone with the wind,
My lover has flown away.
Yesterday's kisses are still on my lips;
I found a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.

But now all is gone,
Gone is the rapture that thrilled my heart,
Gone with the wind,
The gladness that stilled my heart.

Just like a flame, love burned brightly, 
Then became an empty smoke dream that has gone,
Gone with the wind.

Gone, gone, gone with the wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown away
Yesterday's kisses are still, still on my lips,
I've had a lifetime of heaven at my fingertips.

But now all-all is gone.
Gone is the rapture that fills my heart
Gone with the wind
My romance has flown apart

Just like a flame
Love burned brightly, then became
An empty smoke ring that has
Gone with the wind.
