I'll see you in my dreams
Hold you in my dreams
Someone took you out of my arms
Still, I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light our way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams

If I Could Hug You
05:23
|

If I could hug you in the morning
I'd kiss you through the night
Please say you love me, I adore you
If I could hug you tonight
When we're together, I'm in heaven
My arms around you tight
Please say you love me, I adore you
If I could hug you tonight

They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I went with the mob
When there was roads to build or guns to bear
I was always there, right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower to the sun
Made of brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the one with the drum
Say, don't you remember?
They called me 'Joe' It was 'Joe' all the time
Say don't you remember? I'm your bro
Brother, can you spare a dime?

Some of these days
You're gonna miss me, honey
Some of these days
You'll feel so lonely
You're gonna miss my lovin'
You'll miss my kisses
You're gonna miss me, honey
When you're away
You'll feel so lonely
Just for me only
'Cause you know, honey
You've had your way
And if you leave me
It's gonna grieve me
You're gonna miss your sweet daddy
Some of these days

Singing the Blues
05:14
|
|||
|
I'm just singin' the blues
Til my baby comes home
That meanest feeling for sure
Since she left me all alone
'Cause every blue strain, brings a new pain
Right into my heart
And I just sigh at my own crying part
Because it sure does get on your nerves
When you hear yourself moan
If I had all I deserve
I wouldn't be here so all alone
So I just sit, each night
Waiting by my window 'neath the candlight
Singing the blues, till my baby comes home

Sweet Sue, Just You
06:16
|
|||
|
Every star above
Knows the one I love
Sweet Sue, just you
And the moon up high
Knows the reason why
Sweet Sue, just you
No one else it seems
Ever shares my dreams
Without you girl I don't know what I'd do
In this heart of mine
You live all the time
Sweet Sue, just you

These Foolish Things
05:28
|
|||
|
A cigarette that bears a lipsticks' traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
A fairgrounds' painted swings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those fumbling words that told you what my heart meant
Still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
You came, you saw
You conquered me
When you did that to me
I knew somehow it had to be
The winds of March that made my heart a dancer
A telephone that rings but who's to answer?
Funny how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you

|
Oh Margie
I'm always thinkin' of you, Margie
I'll tell the world I love you
Don't forget your promise to me
I have bought a diamond ring and everything
Oh Margie
You are my inspiration
Days are never blue
After all is said and done
Margie you're the one
Oh Margie baby, I love you

Blue Turning Grey
04:53
|
|||
|
My, how I miss
Your tender kiss
And the wonderful things you used to do
I run my hands
Through silvery strands
'Cause I'm blue turning grey over you
You used to be
So good to me
That's when I was a novelty
Now you have new friends in view
Found someone new
Left me blue turning grey over you

Don't forget our Monday date
That you promised me last Tuesday
Don't forget and don't be late
I'll be waiting there by noon-day
I'm gonna shine my shoes, I'm gonna tie my tie
Step right up, baby, and look you right in the eye
Don't forget our Monday date
That you promised me last Tuesday

The New Orleans Jazz Vipers New Orleans, Louisiana
For over eighteen years the New Orleans Jazz Vipers have been a favorite of swing dancers the world over. They are an Early Swing band with hard-driving acoustic rhythm, spirited New Orleans horns, and a punk sensibility. The Vipers' unique sound comes from the absence of the drum kit; the tenacious rhythm is driven soundly by the guitar and upright bass. ... more
