1.I'm Walking Behind You
Lyrics:Billy Reid
Music:Billy Reid
Arranger:Axel Stordahl
I'm walking behind you - on your wedding day
And I'll here you promise - to love and obey
Though you may forget me - you're still on my mind
Look over your shoulder - I'm walking behind
Maybe I'll kiss again - with a love that's new again
But I shall wish again - I was kissing you
'Cause I'll always love you - where ever you go
And though we are parted - I want you to know
That if things go wrong dear - and fate is unkind
Look over your shoulder - I'm walking behind
2.I've Got The World On A String
Written:Harold Arlen/Ted Koehler
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
I've got the world on a string, sittin' on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm in love.
I got a song that I sing, I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger.
Lucky me, can't you see I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string.
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.
I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow
Got the string around my finger.
What a world, what a life - I'm in love.
Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string
I'd be a silly so-and-so if I should ever let it go.
I've got the world on a string, sitting on a rainbow.
Got the string around my finger.
What a world! Man, this is the life.
Hey, now! I'm so in love.
3.From Here To Eternity
Written:Robert Wells/Freddie Karger
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
You vowed your love
From here to eternity
A love so true,
It never would die
You gave your lips
Gave them so willingly
How could I know
Your kiss meant goodbye?
Now I'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...
Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
Will live from here to eternity.
Now I'm alone
With only a memory
My empty arms
Will never know why...
Though you are gone
This love that you left with me
will live...
From here to eternity.
4.South Of The Border(Down Mexico Way)
Written:Jimmy Kennedy/Michael Carr
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Band Chorus
South of the border - down Mexico way
That's where I fell in love, where the stars above - came out to
play
And now as I wander - my thoughts ever stray
South of the border - down Mexico way
She was a picture - in old Spanish lace
Just for a tender while, I kissed a smile - upon her face
'Cause it was fiesta - and we were so gay
South of the border - Mexico way
Then she smiled as she whispered 'manjanna'
Never dreaming that we were parting
Then I lied as a whispered 'manjanna'
'Cause our tomorrow never came
South of the border - I jumped back one day
There in a veil of white, by the candle light - she knelt to
pray
The mission bells told me (ding-dong) - that I musn't stay
South of the border - Mexico way
5.Young At Heart
Written:Johnny Richards/Carolyn Leigh
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you
If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting with each passing day
And love is either in your heart or on its way
Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on Earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are it's much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you'll derive out of being alive
Then here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very young at heart
6.Don't Worry 'Bout Me
Written:Ted Koehler/Rube Bloom
Arranger:Quincy Jones/Billy Byers
Don't worry 'bout me
I'll get along
Just you forget about me
Be happy my love
Just say that our little show is over
And so the story ends
Why not call it a day, the sensible way
And we'll remain friends
Look out for yourself
Should be the rule
Just give your heart and your love, to whom ever you love
Don't you be a fool
Baby why stop and cling, to some fading thing
That used to be
So if you can't forget
Don't you worry 'bout me
7.Three Coins In The Fountain
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless
Three hearts it a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a Valentine
Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine
8.Melody Of Love
Lyrics:Tom Glazer
Music:H.Engelmann
Arranger:Dick Reynolds
Artist:Frank Sinatra/Ray Anthony
Hold me in your arms dear dream with me
Cradled by your kisses tenderly
While a choir of angels from above
Sing our melody of love
Heart to heart forever, lips entwined
I am yours and you are mine, all mine
Heaven wrote the music up above
For our melody of love
9.Learnin' The Blues
Written:Delores Vicki Silvers
Arranger:Neal Hefti
The tables are empty - the dance floor's deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you've heard
it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin' the blues
The cigarettes you light - one after another
Won't help you forget her - and the way that you love her
You're only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you're on the right track - for learnin' the blues
When you're at home alone, the blues will taunt you - constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory
The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you're crying
You just can't forget her - soon you even stop trying
You'll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin' the (those)
blues
10.Same Old Saturday Night
Lyrics:Sammy Cahn
Music:Frank Reardon
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Went to see a movie show
Found myself an empty row
Thought the show was just alright
Same old Saturday night
Then I made the usual stop
Coffee at the coffee shop
Friendly face nowhere in sight
Same old Saturday night
I really thought - the papers I bought
Would help me forget you for a while
Believe me honey - the funnies weren't funny
They didn't even make me smile
How I wish you'd lift the phone
Fun is fun - but not alone
'Til you let me hold you tight
Same old Saturday night
Only your face - can help me erase
That same old Saturday night
11.Love And Marriage
Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
Dad was told by mother
You can't have one without the other
12.Love Is The Tender Trap
Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!
Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap
You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!
Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap
Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single
And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap
13.How Little We Know(How Little It Matters)
Written:Carolyn Leigh/Phillip Springer
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
How little we know
How much to discover
What chemical forces flow
From lover to lover
How little we understand - what touches of that tingle
That sudden explosion - when two tingles intermingle
Who cares to define
What chemistry this is
Who cares with your lips on mine
How ignorant bliss is
So long as you kiss me - (and) the world around us shatters
How little it matters - how little we know
(How little we know, how little we know,...)
14.Hey! Jealous Lover
Written:Sammy Cahn/Bee Walker/Kay Twomey
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
(Lover, lover)
Hey, jealous lover
You're actin' so strange
Hey, jealous lover
What is makin' you change?
Hey, jealous lover
How wrong can you be?
I'm yours ever-faithful
Just be faithful to me
I am just as steady as that clock on the shelf
Maybe you're accusin' me of what you're doin' yourself
Hey, jealous lover
I'm tellin' you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
(Hey, jealous lover)
(You're actin' so strange)
(Hey, jealous lover )
(What is makin' you change?)
(Hey, jealous lover)
(How wrong can you be?)
(I'm yours ever-faithful)
(Just be faithful to me)
Could have cheated lots of times but just couldn't do
I was much too busy, baby, bein' faithful to you
Hey, jealous lover
I'm tellin' you true
I know that you're jealous
But there's no one but you
There's no one for me, jealous lover, but you
15.Can I Steal A Little Love?
Lyrics:Phil Tuminello
Music:Phil Tuminello
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Can I steal a little love?
Can I steal a little love?
Cool me, honey, I'm on fire
To steal your love is my desire
Hug me, squeeze me, 'til I'm red
'til my eyes bug out my head
Coo me, woo me, turtle dove
Can I steal a little love?
Please tell me why are you drivin' me crazy?
Why do I dig you like I do?
If I should steal a little kiss
And you can prove that it's wrong
I'll give it back to you
Tell me, honey, with a smile
I can walk you down the aisle
I won't even need a shove
Can I steal a little love?
Can I steal a little love?
Can I steal a little love?
Cool me, honey, I'm on fire
To steal your love is my desire
Hug me, squeeze me, 'til I'm red
'til my eyes bug out my head
Coo me, woo me, turtle dove
Can I grab a little love?
Please tell me why are you drivin' me crazy?
And why do I dig you like I do?
If I should steal a little kiss
And you can prove that it was wrong
Hey, I'll give it back to you
Tell me, honey, with a smile
I can walk you down the aisle
I won't even need a shove
Can I steal a little love?
Can I steal a little love?
Can I steal a little love?
Can I GRAB a little love?
16.All The Way
Written:Jimmy Van Heusen/Sammy Cahn
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
When somebody loves you
It's no good unless he loves you - all the way
Happy to be near you
When you need someone to cheer you - all the way
Taller than the tallest tree is
That's how it's got to feel
Deeper than the deep blue see is
That's how deep it goes - if its real
When somebody needs you
It's no good unless he needs you - all the way
Through the good or lean years
And for all the in between years - come what may
Who know where the road will lead us
Only a fool would say
But if you'll let me love you
It's for sure I'm gonna love you - all the way, all the way
17.Chicago
Lyrics:Fred Fisher
Music:Fred Fisher
Arranger:Neal Hefti/Billy May
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I will show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around - I love it
Bet your bottom dollar you'll lose the blues in Chicago
Chicago, the town that Billy Sunday could not shut down
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things that they never do on Broadway - hey
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, and he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, Chicago, that's my home town
18.Witchcraft
Written:Carolyn Leigh/Cy Coleman
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft
And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do
'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in my
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
19.High Hopes
Written:Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
20.Nice 'N' Easy
Written:Alan Bergman/Marilyn Bergman/Lew Spence
Arranger:Nelson Riddle
Let's take it nice 'n' easy
It's gonna be so easy for us to fall in love
Hey, baby, what's your hurry?
Relax 'n' don't you worry, we're gonna fall in love
We're on the road to romance, that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way
The problem now, of course, is to simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime 'cause nice 'n' easy does it every time
We're on the road to romance, that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way
The problem now, of course, is to simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime 'cause nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it every time
'Like the man says, 'one more time' '
Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it
Nice 'n' easy does it every time
