Speranza


for all you mean to me
MY THANKS TO YOU
For every memory
MY THANKS TO YOU
My thanks for everything we love to share
For all the joy you bring when you are there
These foolish words of mine could never say
How slow the hands of time, when you’re away
As years go rolling by my whole life through
I give my love and all MY THANKS TO YOU
Words have such wonderful meaning
When they’re sincere and they’re true
Mine surely are too humble by far
But these little words are just for you
These foolish words of mine could never say
How slow the hands of time, when you’re away
As years go rolling by my whole life through
I give my love and all MY THANKS TO YOU
Gay/Newell


MARTA RAMBLING ROSE OF THE WILDWOOD
 Marta, with your fragrance divine
Rosebud, of the days of my childhood
Watched you bloom in the wild wood
and I hoped you'd be mine.
Marta, now your eyes beam at twilight
sparkling like each dewdrop at dawn
Marta, when I look for your love light
I awake with a sigh and I find you are gone.
Simos/Gilbert

Just like an angel you came to me
  OUT OF A CLEAR BLUE SKY
And knowin' I saw you I fell in love
OUT OF A CLEAR BLUE SKY
Like a bowl of lightning you struck my heart
Then old people gave me a shot with the flame and dark
And when I knew dreams can't come true
OUT OF A CLEAR BLUE SKY
Just like an angel you came to me
Out of a clear blue sky
Pillar, Roberts


I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again
THE OLD PIANO ROLL BLUES
We're sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me
Pushin' on the pedals makin' sweet harmony. When we hear rinkety-tink, and we hear Plinkety-plink We cuddle closer it seems. And while we kiss kiss, kiss, kiss, away all our cares, The player piano's playing razz-a-ma-tazz. I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again, The Old Piano Roll Blues. But We, Played the Piano Roll Blues We sat there and began to play My sweetie and me We sat there pushing on the pedals making sweet harmony But we, cuddle closer it seems It seems just like a dreamin' While we kiss, kiss, kiss, our cares all away The player piano's playing razz-a-ma-tazz. But we, wanna hear it again Those Piano Roll Blues I wanna hear it again, I wanna hear it again, The Old Piano Roll Blues. The Old Piano Roll Blues. We sat there and began to play We're sittin' at an upright, my sweetie and me, We sat there pushin' on the pedals makin' sweet harmony. When we hear rinkety-tink, and we hear Plinkety-plink We cuddle closer it seems. Cuddle closer it seems Its like a dreamin while we kiss kiss kiss away all our cares. The player piano's playing razz-a-ma-tazz. I wanna hear it again, just hear it again The Old Piano Roll Blues The Old Piano Roll blues The Old Piano Roll blues (Cy Loben)


Come in well, well, well, look who's here
I haven't seen you in many a year
IF I KNEW YOU WERE COMIN' I'D'VE BAKED A CAKE
BAKED A CAKE--BAKED A CAKE
IF I KNEW YOU WERE COMIN' I'D'VE BAKED A CAKE
 Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
Grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
And spread the welcome mat for you
Oh, I don't know where you came from
'cause I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do
Had you dropped me a letter I'd a-hired a band
Grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter I'd a-hired a band
Spread the welcome mat for you
Oh, I don't know where you came from
'Cause I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Hired a band, goodness sake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do
Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do
Howd-ya do-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
