You go to my head"(Gillespie/Coots)

 

You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain
And I find you spinning 'round in my brain
Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne
You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew
And I find the very mention of you
Like the kicker in a julep or two

The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea
Cast a spell over me
Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself
Can't you see that it never can be

You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise
Like a summer with a thousand Julies
You intoxicate my soul with your eyes
Though I'm certain that this heart of mine
Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance
You go to my head

Just Friends

Just friends, lovers no more,
just friends, but not like before
to think of what we've been,
and not to kiss again
seems like pretending
it isn't the ending.

Two friends, drifting apart,
two friends, and one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried,
and suddenly love died
the story ends
and we're just friends.

You’re My Thrill

You’re my thrill
you do something to me
you send thrills right through me
when I look at you, ‘cause you’re my thrill

 

You’re my thrill
how my thoughts embrace you
I just want to face you
when I look at you and you’re my thrill

 

Oh, oh, nothing seems to matter
Oh, oh, here’s my heart on a silver platter
Where’s my will?
Why this strange desire?
that keeps mounting higher
when I look at you  I can’t keep still
‘cause you’re my thrill

[piano]Oh, oh, nothing seems to matter
Oh, oh, here’s my heart on a silver platter
Where’s my will?
Why this strange desire?
that keeps mounting higher
when I look at you  I can’t keep still
‘cause you’re my thrill

 

Every Time We Say Goodbye

Every time we say goodbye I die a little
Every time we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the Gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They permit you to go

 

When you’re near there’s such an air of spring (da da da da) about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There’s no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Every time we say goodbye

Imagination

Imgination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
Makes a bee think of honey
Just as I think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
What to do, what to do.

 

Have you ever felt a gentle touch
Then a kiss and then and then
Find it’s only your imagination again
Oh, well!

Imagination is silly
You go around willy nilly
For example I go around wanting you
And yet I can’t imagine you’d want me too

 

Blame it on my Youth

If I expected love when first we kissed
Blame it on my youth
If only just for you I did exist
Blame it on my youth

 

I believed in everything
Like a child of three
You meant more than anything
All the world to see
If you were on my mind
Night and day
Blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray
Blame it on my youth

 

If I cried a little bit
When I first learned the truth
Don’t blame it on my heart
Blame it on my youth
[horn solo]

If you were on my mind
all night and day
Blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray

Blame it on my youth

 

If I cried a little bit when first I learned the truth
Don’t blame it on my heart
Blame it on my youth


 

.My One and Only Love

horn solo]

[piano solo]

The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze on the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love

The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night while you’re in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love

The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I’ve never known
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own

You fill my aching heart with such desire
Every kiss sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daydream

Daydream, why do you haunt me so
Deep in a rosy glow
The face of my love you show
Daydream, I walk a long, long way

Building a castle rare
For me and my love to share
Don’t know the time or the _____ the day
Sad is the sky while I roam around feeling hazy

Daydream, don’t break my reverie
Until I find out that she
is daydreaming just like me

[horn solo]

Daydream, don’t break my reverie
Until I find that she
Is daydreaming just like me.

 

Moon And Sand

Deep is the midnight sea
Warm is the fragrant night
Sweet are your lips to me
Soft as the moon and sand

 

Oh, when shall we meet again?
When the night has left us with a spell
We may
Though waves invade the shore
Though we may kiss no more
Night is at our command
Moon and sand

[horn solo]

[piano solo]]

 

Though waves invade the shore
Though we may kiss no more
Night is at our command
Moon and Sand

 

For Heaven’s Sake

For heavens’ sake let’s fall in love
It’s no mistake to call it love
An angel’s holding hands with me
How heavenly heaven can be

 

Here is romance for us to try
Here is a chance we can’t deny
While heaven’s giving us a break
Let’s fall in love for heaven’s sake
Don’t say a word my darling

Don’t break the spell like this
Just hold me tight; we’re alone in the night
And heaven is here with a kiss

 

This pair of eyes can see a star
So paradise can’t be so far
Since heaven’s what we’re dreaming of
For heaven’s sake, let’s fall in love

[piano solo]

[horn solo]

 

Almost Blue

Almost blue, almost doing things we used to do
There’s a girl here and she’s almost you, almost
All the things that you promised with your eyes
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying

Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as a fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue, almost touching it will almost do

There’s a part of me that’s always true, always
All the things that you promised with your eyes
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue, almost you, almost blue

 

Ghost Of a Chance

I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

I thought at last I’d found you
But other arms surround you
And I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

If you’d surrender just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover that I’m the lover meant for you
And I’d be true
But what’s the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming
‘Cause I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

[piano solo]

But what’s the use of scheming

‘Cause I don’t stand a ghost of a chance with you

 

Everything Happens To Me

I make a date for golf and you can bet your life it rains
I try to throw a party and the guy upstairs complains
I guess I’ll go through life just catching colds and missing trains
Everything happens to me

 

I never miss a thing, I’ve had the measles and the mumps
And every time I play an ace
My partner always trumps
I guess I’m just a fool who never looks before he jumps
Everything happens to me

 

At first I thought that you could break this jinx for me
That love would turn the trick to end despair
Now I just can’t fool this this head that thinks for me
I’ve mortgaged all my castles in the air

 

I’ve telegraphed and phoned and sent an airmail special too
Your answer was goodbye and there was even postage due
I fell in love just once – it had to be with you
Everything happens to me.
[piano] 

[scat singing] 

I’ve telegraphed and phoned and sent an airmail special too
Your answer was goodbye and there was even postage due
I fell in love just once and then it had to be with you
Everything happens to me

The verse to this tune is almost never sung..and quite pretty. Hereit is.. >>>. 

Black cats creep across
My path until I'm almost mad
I must have 'roused the devils's wrath
'Cause all my luck is bad

 

Let’s Get Lost

Let’s get lost, lost in each other’s arms
Let’s get lost, let them send out alarms
And though they’ll think us rather rude
Let’s tell the world we’re in that crazy mood.
Let’s defrost in a romantic mist
Let’s get crossed off everybody’s list
To celebrate this night we found each other, mm, let’s get lost

 

[horn solo] [piano solo]

 

Let’s defrost in a romantic mist
Let’s get crossed off everybody’s list
To celebrate this night we found each other, mm, let’s get lost
oh oh, let’s get lost

 

FORGETFUL


Lately ...you've been so fogetful
A kind of a
Stop and go forgetfullness
That bothers me

Kisses ...I once had a netful
But you've been forgetful
And I never kissed
And it bothers me

Romance...never any romance
No chance...and it bothers me

But someday when
You are regretful
You will wish you had
Tried much less forgetfulness    

You will be upset
And forgetful
Won't be able
To forget


I  REMEMBER  YOU


I Remember You
You're the one who made my dreams
Come true 
A few kisses ago
 
I remember you
You're the one who said
I love you too
Didn't you know

And I remember too a distant bell
And stars that fell
Like rain
Out of the blue

And when my life is through
And the angels ask me
To recall
The thrill of them all

Then I shall tell them
I  Remember You  !
