I’d like to get away, Junior
Somewhere alone with you
It could be oh, so gay, Junior
You need a laugh
or two

A certain place I know, Frankie
Where funny people can have fun
That’s where the two will go,
Darling
Before you can count up
One, two, three. For …

There’s a small hotel
With a wishing well
I
wish that we were there together
There’s a bridal suite
One room bright and neat
Complete for us to
share together

Looking through the window
You can see a distant steeple
Not a sign of people — who
wants people?
When the steeple bell says,
“Good night, sleep well,”
We’ll thank the small hotel
together

We’ll creep into our little shell
And we will thank the small hotel together

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight I got that old feeling
The moment you came by I felt a thrill
And when you caught my eye
My heart stood still
Once again I seemed to have that old yearning
And I knew the spark of love was still burning
There’ll be no new romance for me
It’s foolish to start
For that old feeling is still in my heart

(repeat entire verse)

To spend one night with you
In our old rendezvous
And reminisce with you
That’s my desire

To be where gypsies play
Down in that ole cafe
We’ll dance
till break of day
That’s my desire

We’ll sip a little glass of wine
I’ll gaze into your eyes divine
I’ll feel the touch of your lips
Pressing on mine

To hear you whisper low
Just when it’s time to go
Darling, I love you, so
That’s my desire

(instrumental break)

To hear you whisper low
Doggone you know it’s time to go
Darling, I love you so
You’re my desire

Though you found someone new
I’ll always love you
That’s my desire

Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I slide again
About to take that ride again
Starry eyed again
Taking a chance on love
I thought that cards were a frame-up
I never would try
But Now I’m taking the game up
And the ace of hearts is high
Things are mending now
I see a rainbow blending now
We’ll have a happy ending now
Taking a chance on love

(Instrumental break)

Here I slip again
About to take that tip again
Got my grip again
Taking a chance on love
Now I prove again
That I can make life move again
In the grove again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your foot good-bye
On the ball again
I’m riding for a fall again
I’m gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love

I’m in the mood for love simply because you’re near me
Funny but when you’re near me, I’m in the mood for love.
Heaven was in your eyes, bright as the stars we’re under,
Or is it any wonder, I’m in the mood for love.
Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade,
We?ll put our hearts together – now we are one, I?m not afraid.
If there?s a cloud above, if it should rain, we?ll let it.
But for tonight forget it, I?m in the mood for love.

Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush little baby, don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You’re goin’ to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take the sky
But till that morning
There’s a nothin’ can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin’ by

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little moon starts to
climb
Always reminding me that we’re apart
You wandered down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend
a lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie,
and I am once again with you
When our love was new
and each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago,
now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.

Beside a garden wall,
when stars are bright,
you are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain,
in my heart it will remain
My stardust melody,
The memory of love’s refrain

Once there was a thing called spring
When the world was writing verses like yours and mine,
All the lads and girls would sing
When we sat at little tables and drank may wine.

Now april, may and june
Are sadly out of tune
Life has stuck a pin in the boat.

Spring is here
Why doesn’t my heart go dancing?
Spring is here
Why isn’t the waltz entrancing?

No desire,
No ambition leads me
Maybe it’s because nobody needs me

Spring is here
Why doesn’t the breeze delight me?
Stars appear
Why doesn’t the night invite me?

Maybe it’s because nobody loves me
Spring is here, I hear

Maybe it’s because nobody loves me
Spring is here, I hear

Soon, my dear, you’ll never be lonely,
Soon, you’ll find I live for you only.
When I’m with you who cares what time it is
Or what the place or what the climate is?

Oh! soon, our little ship will become sailing
Home through every storm, never failing,
The day you’re mine this world will be in tune,
Let’s make that day come soon.

(bridge)

Oh! soon, our little ship will become sailing home
Through every storm, never failing,
The day you’re mine this world will be in tune,
Let’s make that day come soon.

There’s a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, “seek and ye shall find”
So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet
He’s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret

I’d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There’s a somebody I’m longin’ to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me

I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who’ll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key

Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

(bridge)

Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Someone to watch over me

Strange dear, but true dear,
When I’m close to you, dear,
The stars fill the sky,
So in love with you am I.
Even without you,
My arms fold about you,
You know darling why,
So in love with you am I.
In love with the night mysterious,
The night when you first were there,
In love with my joy delirious,
When I knew that you could care,
So taunt me, and hurt me,
Deceive me, desert me,
I’m yours, till I die…..
So in love…. So in love….
So in love with you, my love… am I….
