It's Funny To Everyone But Me
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): The Ink Spots
and multiple other artists



It's funny how you loved me, then forgot so suddenly
It's funny to everyone but me
(It's the talk of the town)
They told me this would happen, now they're laughing secretly
It's funny to everyone but me
(gosh, he's crying again)
I should shrug my shoulders and say, good riddance to a bad affair
But how can I do, but my head tells me to
When my heart tells me how much I care?
It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century
It's funny to everyone but me
(I got the right to think of you)
It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century
Ah but it's funny to everyone but me

Performer(s): Emmylou Harris

If I could only win your love 
I'd make the most of everything 
I'd proudly wear your wedding ring 
My heart would never stray when you're away 

If I could only win your love 
I'd give my all to make it live 
You'll never know how much I give 
If I could only win your love 

Oh how can I ever say 
How I crave your love when your gone away 
Oh how can I ever show 
How I burn inside when you hold me tight 

If I could only win your love 
I'd give my all to make it live 
You'll never know how much I give 
If I could only win your love 

Oh how can I ever say 
How I crave your love when your gone away 
Oh how can I ever show 
How I burn inside when you hold me tight 

If I could only win your love 
I'd give my all to make it live 
You'll never know how much I give 
If I could only win your love 

Keep Me From Harm
Composer(s): Peter Murphy; Paul Statham
Performer(s): Peter Murphy



Health is all I'm asking for
Love is all I need
Hope is what I'm asking for
Lay me down to sleep
It was then that I lost you
Was dragged there too
Under a sea of mystery
Died there along with you
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Guess you found your own root
Dug into that fast heart
Flew without wing or pinion
Now you orbit the stars
Now haunted and weary
Your vision creeps
I need a clear water
I need a release
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Love me hold me keep me from harm

My Shining Hour
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer

Covered by multiple other artists



This moment, this minute
And each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by, it will never die

This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
In my dreams, your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night

Like the lights of home before me
Or an angel, watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again

(like the lights of home before me)
(or an angel watching o'er me)
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again

If I Could Have Your Loving
Performer(s): Sutherland Brothers & Quiver



If I can have your loving
Then I would want for nothing else
Deep in the night, I keep you
Happy to have you by myself
In my heart
Like a diamond in the dark
If I could have your loving
And if I could have your dreams
Something to keep in touch with you
Seeing them in my head
Helping me all the long night through
In my heart
Just like we never been apart
Oh, if I could have your dream
Everybody knows
There's not much you can do in life
Without someone to help you through
And everybody sees
There's no where you can go in life
Without somewhere to lead you to
Oh, everybody knows
There's not much you can do in life
Without someone to help you through
And everybody sees
There's no where you can go in life
Without somewhere to lead you to
Ooh, ooh
So if I could have your loving
Then I will want for nothing else
Deep in the night I keep you
Happy to have you by myself
In my heart
Just like a diamond in the dark
Oh, if I could have your loving
If I could have your loving
If I could have your loving

Keep Me In The Dark
Composer(s): Nick Rhodes; Simon Lebon; Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Arcadia



When the evening sunlight fingers
Stretch across the floor
Cover up your eye with feathers
Softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips
Take me where the shadows slide
Lying with you blindfold secrets
Turning fast and loose
The lacy intrigue of this weekend should not be abused
You can take me where you want
Could you take me all the time

Away..wait a little longer 
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Tender is the truth I'm tasting
Watching you dictates
Heady nights of sleepless wasting
A face I can't escape
We could wave the world goodbye
To all of the boys "cheerio"

Away yeah..wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Help me now I'm slipping deeper
Tell me what to say
When I push you call me closer
Each time you turn a way
Something inside you cries
But is it something
I'll never find?

Away yeah..wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark

Away yeah..oh wait a little longer
Before we go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like to think
You were keeping me in the dark

Marvin:
If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
First I'd put heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky
And I'd take every drop of rain
And wash all your troubles away
I'd have the whole world built around you
And that would be all right, oh yes it would

Tammi:
If I could build my whole world around you
I'd make your eyes the morning sun
I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
I'd put joy where there's never been love
And I'd give my love to you
To keep for the rest of your life
And happiness would surely be ours
And that would be all right, oh yes it would

Both: 
Doo doo doo doo...

Marvin: 
Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess
T: And I'd step into this world you've created
And give you true love and tenderness
And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
To make this world better as days go by

(repeat):
Marvin: If I could build my whole world around you
Tammi: If I could build my whole world around you
Both: Then that would be all right, oh yeah

The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and multiple other artists



The best things happen while you're dancing
Things that you would not do at home come nat'rally on the floor

For dancing soon becomes romancing
When you hold a girl in your arms that you've never held before

Even guys with two left feet
Come out all right if the girl is sweet
If by chance their cheeks should meet

While dancing
Proving that the best things happen while you dance

Performer(s): Jack Teagarden

I'm so blue, I don't know what to do
All day through, I seem to say to you
I did wrong when I let you go away
'Cause now I dream about you night and day
I'm so unhappy and dissatisfied
I'll be happy if I had you by my side

If I could be with you one li'l hour tonight
And free to do all those little things I might
I want you to know you wouldn't go
Until I told you that I loved you so
If I could be with you I'd love you long
If I could be with you I'd love you strong
And I'm telling you for true, you'd be anything but blue
If I could be with you

Foolin' Myself
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence - Peter Tinturin
Performer(s): Billie Holiday



I tell myself I'm through with love
And I'll having nothing more to do with love
I stay away but every day
I'm just foolin' myself

I tell my friends that I don't care
I shrug my shoulders at the whole affair
But they all know it isn't so
I'm just foolin' myself

And every time I pass
And see my face in a looking glass
I tip my hat and say
How do you do you fool
You're throwing your life away

I'm acting gay I'm acting proud
And every time I see you in a crowd
I may pretend but in the end
I'm just foolin' myself

Ever since Miss Susan Johnson lost her Jockey Lee
There has been much excitement, more to be
You can hear her moaning night and morn
"Wonder where my Easy Rider's gone?"

Cablegrams come of sympathy, telegrams go of inquiry
Letters come from down in "Bam"
And everywhere that Uncle Sam has a rural delivery

All day the phone rings, but it's not for me
At last good tidings fill our hearts with glee
This message comes from Tennessee

Dear Sue, your easy rider struck this burg today
On a southboun' rattler, side door Pullman car
Seen him here an' he was on the hog

Easy rider's gotta stay away
So he had to vamp it but the hike ain't far
He's gone where the Southern cross the Yellow Dog

I told you I love you, now get out
I told you I love you, now get out

But just how much can a good  gal take?

I told you I love you, now get out 
  
There may be times when I need you, there's no doubt
Baby, now you're something I can do without
 
Leave your number and go on home
But don't wait with sandwiches by the phone 

I told you I love you, now get out

Baby, please leave me be
You want a puppet, and there's no strings on me

Get out, you can leave on the five - eighteen
Now don't go 'way sayin' I been mean
'Cause like any woman, I can change my ways
And a round-trip ticket's good for 60 days 

I told you I love you, now get out -- for now

If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin' On It
Composer(s): Alexander Hill; Andy Razaf
Performer(s): Ruth Brown
and multiple other artists



I own a secondhand furniture store
and I think my prices are fair
that is until this real cheap guy I know came in one day
Saw this chair he wanted to buy, but he wouldn’t, claimed the price was too high
So I looked ‘im straight in the eye, and this was my reply…

If I can’t sell it, I’m gonna sit down on it
Why should I give it away?
Now darling if you want it
you got to buy it
And I mean just what I say

Now how would you like to find this
waitin at home for you every night
Only been used once or twice
and it’s still nice and Tight!
Whoa…

But if I can’t sell it
I’m gonna keep sittin on it
I don’t see the need
to give it away

Now you can’t find a better pair of legs in town
and a back like this, huh, not for miles around
And that is why if I can’t sell it
I’m going to recline upon it
Why should I give it away?

Because it’s made for comfort
built for wear and tear
Where else could you find
such an easy chair!
Haa… Whoa…

If I can’t sell it
I’m gonna remain seated on it
I ain’t about to give it away

Because it’s lush, plush, slick and sleak
Darling, a high class piece like this
at any price
is cheap!

So if I can’t sell it
I’m a remain seated on it
I don’t see the need to give it away

Now look at this nice bottom
ain’t it easy on the eye
guaranteed to support any weight or size!

If I can’t sell it, I’m gonna sit down on it
I ain’t about to give it away
Now, I have really had my fill
of folks always comin around
with their hands stuck out
want something
don’t want to give up nothing
Now if you want this
put your hand in your stash
and give me some cash

If you want something for free
go to the Salvation Army
don’t come to me
Now this is not Saint Vincent de Paul’s place
this is Ruth’s place

Read my lips

Every time I cook, look like you can't get enough
Fix you a pot of soup and make you drink it up
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

You don't like nobody's cooking but mine
Get up in the morning and fix you a tenderloin
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

Don't tell nobody that I tried to be tough
I just got a man so hard to fill up
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

Oh, play it now, Mr. Charlie1
Yes, man! Just keep on eating
You'll get through it someday)

Take you around the corner and give you a chance to grab
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

I've cooked and cooked till I done got tired
Can't fill you up off of my fried apple pie
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

I know you got a bad cold and you can't smell
I ain't gonna give you something that I can't sell
So keep on a-eating
Oh, keep on a-eating
Keep on eating, baby, till you get enough

It Started All Over Again
Composer(s): Bill Carey - Carl Fischer
Performer(s): Jo Stafford
and multiple other artists



It started all over again
The moment I looked in your eyes
It started all over again
The thrill we can never disguise

The day that we parted, so broken hearted
Will never return again
Dreams I've delayed, promises made
Are starting anew, just for you

It started all over again
The moment I held you so tight
It started all over again
When we kissed away the night - till dawn's early light

Now were together, sweethearts forever
We'll build our romance anew
It started all over again
The moment I looked at you

If I Can't Love Her
Composer(s): Alan Menken; Tim Rice
Performer(s): Terrence Mann
and multiple other artists



Beast:
And in my twisted face, there's not the slightest trace
Of anything that even hints at kindness
And from my tortured shape, no comfort, no escape
I see, but deep within is utter blindness
Hopeless as my dream dies, as the time flies, love a lost illusion
Helpless, unforgiven, cold and driven to this sad conclusion

No beauty could move me, no goodness improve me
No power on earth, if I can't love her
No passion could reach me, no lesson could teach me
How I could have loved her and make her love me, too
If I can't love her, then who?

Long ago I should have seen all the things I could have been
Careless and unthinking, I moved onward!

No pain could be deeper, no life could be cheaper
No point anymore, if I can't love her!
No spirit could win me, no hope left within me
Hope I could have loved her and that she'd set me free!
But it's not to be
If I can't love her, let the world be done with me
