CAROLING, CAROLING

Caroling, caroling now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
(Caroling, caroling through the town)
Christmas bells are ringing
(Caroling, caroling up and down)
Oh, Christmas bells are ringing
(Mark ye well the song we sing)
(Gladsome tidings now we bring)
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
(Caroling, caroling now we go)
It's Christmas
(Joyous voices sweet and clear)
(Sing the sad of heart to cheer)
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Oh, caroling, caroling through the town
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling up and down
Christmas are ringing
Mark thee well the song that we sing
Gladsome tidings now we bring
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
Oh, caroling (caroling, caroling)
We're caroling
(Caroling, caroling)
Through the town here we go
(Caroling, caroling)
And there's lots of our voices to cheer
(Caroling, caroling)
Sweet and clear
Bells are ringing so fine
It's a wonderful time of the year
Far and near
Oh caroling....

A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE

***************

That certain night, the night we met,
There was magic abroad in the air.
There were angels dining at the Ritz,
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
The moon that lingered over Londontown
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know that we two were so in love?
The whole darn world seemed upside down.
The streets of town were paved with stars,
It was such a romantic affair.
And as we kissed and said goodnight,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
~interlude~
When dawn came stealing up, all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous,
I still remember how you smiled and said,
"Was that a dream? Or was it true?"
Our homeward step was just as light
As the tap dancing feet of Astaire,
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS

***************

(Harry Warren, Al Dubin)
I walk along the street of sorrow,
The boulevard of broken dreams.
Where gigolo and gigolette
Can take a kiss without regret
So they forget their broken dreams.
You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow,
When you behold your shattered dreams.
And gigolo and gigolette
Awake to find their eyes are wet
With tears that tell of broken dreams.
Here is where you'll always find me,
Always walking up and down.
But I left my soul behind me
In an old cathedral town.
The joy you find here, you borrow,
You cannot keep it long, it seems.
But gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams.
~Interlude~

Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams.

BABY BABY, ALL THE TIME

***************

Once I had a gal,
As sweet as she could be.
Once I had a gal,
And she was right for me.
Kinda sandy hair,
Eyes so soft and blue
That you couldn't help but care
When she looked at you.
She called me "baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
She said, "Baby, can't you see?
"Baby, understand
"Baby, you're for me,
Won't you take my hand?"
But I pushed her away,
Wouldn't let her near
Pushed her far away
Now I'm wishing I could hear her
Call me "Baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
~interlude~
It's so lonely through the day,
Lonely through the night,
Lonely, lonely hours
Without that gal I held so tight.
Lord, I pray that You
Will listen to my plea.
Keep her close to You
So she'll come back to me,
And call me "Baby"...
"Baby", all the time.
Baby...
Baby, all the time.

ALL FOR YOU

***************

When you raise your eyes and make believe,
All the stars come out and paint a world of blue.
There's my heart right up your sleeve
Waiting all for you.
When you smile on me, the world is mine,
And the dreams I dream, I know will all come true.
Every care becomes divine
Waiting all for you.
My heart is beating to the old refrain
When I'm alone with you.
My heart's repeating, "I'm in love again"
Can't we hold a rendez-vous?
You're the dreams I dream, the song I sing
You're the stars and moon and nearly everything.
Life would be a symphony,
Waiting all for you.

Life would be a symphony,
Living all for you.

AVALON

***************

I found my love in Avalon beside the bay
I left my love in Avalon and sailed away
I dream of her and Avalon from dusk 'til dawn
And so I think I'll travel on to Avalon
