They said not a creature was stirring On that well known Christmas Eve But one little mouse took a trip through the house A little white mouse called Steve
His eyes, like two buttons were shining For he just could not believe The way Santa came, how he knew him by name That little white mouse called Steve
There were trolleys and bugles Yes, Santa Claus filled each sock Steve scampered in and out, scurried all about Then he ran up the clock
At last, dear old Santa was packing And he slung his bag to leave So, off like a breeze, leaving one piece of cheese For that little white mouse called Steve
There were dollies and bugles Yes, Santa Claus filled each sock Steve scampered in and out, scurried all about Then he ran up the clock
At last, dear old Santa was packing And he slung his bag to leave So, off like a breeze, leaving one piece of cheese For that little white mouse called Steve
I Can't Face The Music Composer(s): Ted Koehler; Rube Bloom Performer(s): Billie Holiday and multiple other artists
Breeze, stop moanin' those weird melodies My (man, gal) has left me and I can't face the music Without singin' the blues Your rhythm on my window pane Drives me insane because I can't face the music Without singin' the blues My heart is so broken, I've spoken To the Lord for sympathy And if He don't help me So help me! It's the bottom of the deap blue sea For me, I'm gonna end this misery My (man, gal) has left me and I can't face the music Without singin' the blues
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien Et trop longtemps j'ai cru que je ne t'aimais pas Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien L'amour n'est aujourd'hui qu'un souvenir de toi
Que c'est triste de savoir Qu'il existe quelque part Un bonheur qu'on a refusé Un amour que l'on a manqué
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien Et trop longtemps j'ai cru que je ne t'aimais pas Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien L'amour n'est aujourd'hui qu'un souvenir de toi
Romantique sans y croire Sympathique sans histoire On croyait que c'était un jeu Ça valait peut-être un peu mieux
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien Et trop longtemps j'ai cru que je ne t'aimais pas Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien L'amour n'est aujourd'hui qu'un souvenir de toi
L'aventure de sa vie Qui ne dure qu'une nuit Voilà tout ce que j'ai trouvé Sur le chemin de ma liberté
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien Et trop longtemps j'ai cru que je ne t'aimais pas Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien L'amour n'est aujourd'hui qu'un souvenir de toi
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien Et trop longtemps j'ai cru que je ne t'aimais pas Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aimais bien L'amour n'est aujourd'hui qu'un souvenir de toi...
Shades of night are creeping, willow trees are weeping Old folks and babies are sleeping, silver Stars are gleaming All alone I'm scheming, scheming to get you out here, my dear Come tip toe thru the window, by the window, that is where I'll be Come tip toe thru the tulips with me Tip toe from your pillow, to the shadow of a willow tree And tip toe thru the tulips with me Knee deep in flowers we'll stray, we'll keep the showers away And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight, will you pardon me Come tip toe thru the tulips with me Come on out and pet me, come and Juliet me Tease me and slyly coquette me, let me romeo you I just want to show you, how much I'm willing to do for you Come tip toe to the window, by the window That is where I'll be, come tip toe thru the tulips with me Tip toe from your pillow, to the shadow of the willow tree And tip toe thru the tulips with me

I Can't Close The Book Composer(s): Sammy Gallop; Ben Weisman Performer(s): Vic Damone
I try to forget you and yet you are everywhere that I look The story is over all over but I can't close the book Must I hear your laughter hereafter in every whispering brook Although it was splendid it ended but I can't close the book
The chapter had to finish it's time to turn the page But the flame just won't diminish when a heart won't act it's age So if you should see me so dreamy excuse the faraway look The story is over all over but I can't close the book
But the flame just won't diminish when a heart won't act it's age So if you should see me so dreamy excuse the faraway look The story is over all over but I can't close the book
Put the light in the window my darling she said As she gazed at the dark stormy night over head A little girl ran with an eager delight As she placed in the window the tiny red light
Her father came home from his work wet and cold Angry and cross cause his fish were not sold He said that the oil it must do for the night So he took from the window the tiny red light
Father dear father don't take it away Think of the poor sailors far out on the bay If he could have seen what had happened that night That could have been saved by the tiny red light
Early next morning came a knock on the door A sailor stood pointing far out on the shore Three tiny ships went a drift in the gale With tears in his eyes told her father this tale
We followed your tiny red light said the man Till it vanished from sight on the rocks our ships ran Many were drowned on the billows last night That might have been saved by the tiny red light That could have been saved by the tiny red light
I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me Composer(s): Clarence Gaskill; Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Billie Holiday and multiple other artists
Yesterday you came my way And when you smiled at me In my heart I felt a thrill, you see That it was love at sight And I was right to love you as I do Still I never dreamed that you could love me too
Your eyes of blue Your kisses too I never knew what they could do I can't believe that you're in love with me
You're telling everyone I know I'm on your mind each place you go They can't believe that you're in love with me
I have always placed you far above me I just can't imagine that you love me And after all is said and done To think that I'm the lucky one I can't believe that you're in love with me
Skies are gray I'm blue each day when you are not around Ev'rything goes wrong, my dear, I've found But when you're by my side I fill with pride For I'm so proud of you It all seems too good to me to all be true
Your eyes of blue Your kisses too I never knew what they could do I can't believe that you're in love with me
You're telling everyone I know I'm on your mind each place you go They can't believe that you're in love with me
I have always placed you far above me I just can't imagine that you love me And after all is said and done To think that I'm the lucky one I can't believe that you're in love with me
Je T'Aime Comme Ça Composer(s): Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tu es toute ma vie Je ne sais pas pourquoi Tu n'es pas très jolie Mais je t'aime comme ça Tes joies sont enfantines Tes gestes maladroits T'as l'air d'une gamine Mais je t'aime comme ça Tu cries sans raison Tu mens avec aplomb Et me donnes des noms Insensés Qui font rire mes amis Et lorsque je te dis Que tout cela un jour doit changer Tu te mets à pleurer Moi pour te consoler
Dans mes bras je t'emporte Et blottie contre moi C'est bien toi la plus forte Mais je t'aime comme ça Mes yeux sont pleins de larmes Comment expliquer ça Tout en toi me désarme Mais je t'aime comme ça Tu as des défauts Souvent tu parles trop Et quand je suis par trop Excédé Je m'écrie ça suffit Mais lorsque tu souris Avec un regard désemparé Devant ton air perdu Je me sens tout ému
Tu es toute ma vie Je ne sais pas pourquoi Tu n'es pas très jolie Mais je t'aime comme ça

I Can't Believe I'm Losing You Composer(s): Phil Zeller; Don Costa Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; Jack Jones; Michele Lee
Is this the way our romance ends I got the message when you said we could be friends My love was true, I can't believe I'm losing you We played a game, of give and take But I stopped playing when my heart began to break What can I do, I can't believe I'm losing you Wish I could erase every little phase of love that's in the heart of me Every little dream, every little theme, will always be a part of me There's nothing left for me to do We've passed the point of no return, and now we're through It's still too new, I can't believe I'm losing you It's still too new, I can't believe I'm losing you
