O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in they dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.
Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us, our lord Emanuel.

Oh How I Miss You Tonight

Oh, how I miss you tonight, miss you while lights are low,
Oh, how I need you tonight, more than you'll ever know.
Each moment, though we're apart, you're never out of my heart.
But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only,
My dear, how I miss you tonight.
(musical interlude)
Each moment, though we're apart, you're never out of my heart.
But I'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only,
My dear, how I miss you tonight.

Oh Babe, What Would You Say?

Oh Look At Me Now

I‘m not the guy who cared about love
And I‘m not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I‘m a new man better than Casanova at his best
With a new heart and a brand new start
Why I‘m so proud I‘m bustin‘ my vest
So I‘m the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I‘m the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
I‘m not the guy who cared about love
And I‘m not the guy who cared about fortunes and such
I never cared much
Oh, look at me now!
And I never knew the technique of kissing
I never knew the thrill I could get form your touch
I never knew much
Oh, look at me now!
I‘m a new man better than Casanova at his very best
With a new heart and a brand new start
I‘m so proud I‘m bustin‘ my vest
So I‘m the guy who turned out a lover
Yes I‘m the guy who laughed at those blue diamond rings
One of those things
Oh, look at me now!
Look at me now!

Oh What A Beautiful Mornin’

There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
There's a bright golden haze on the meadow
The corn is as high as an elephant's eye
And it looks like it's climbing clear up to the sky
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way
All the sounds of the earth are like music
All the sounds of the earth are like music
The breeze is so busy it don't miss a tree
And the little ole willow is laughin' at me
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', oh, what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way
Oh, what a beautiful mornin', what a beautiful day
I got a beautiful feelin' everything's goin' my way

Oh What It Seemed To Be

It was just a neighborhood dance,
that's all that it was,
but, oh!, what it seemed to be.
It was like a masquerade ball,
with costumes and all,
'cause you were at the dance with me.

It was just a ride on a train,
that's all that it was,
but, oh!, what it seemed to be.
It was like a trip to the stars,
to Venus and Mars,
'cause you were on the train with me.

And when I kissed you, darling,
it was more than just a thrill for me:
It was the promise, darling,
of the things that fate had willed for me.

It was just a wedding in June,
that's all that it was,
but, oh!, what it seemed to be.
It was like a royal affair,
with everyone there,
'cause you said "Yes, I do!" to me.

Oh You Crazy Moon

When they met, the way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh, you crazy moon
What did you do
And when they kissed, they tried to say
That it was just in fun
Oh, you crazy moon
Look what you‘ve done
Once you promised me, you know
That it would never end
You should be ashamed to show
Your funny face my friend
(And) There they are, they fell in love
I guess you think that you‘re smart
Oh, you crazy moon
You broke my heart

Ol’ MacDonald

Ol‘ Mac Donald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm there was a chick
The prettiest chick I know
With a little curve here and a little curve there
This chick she had curves everywhere
Ol‘ Mac Donald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
And oh this chick she had to walk, E-I-E-I-O
And how this walk would drive ‚em wild swinging to and ‚fro
With a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there
Man this chick had wiggles to spare
Ol‘ Mac Donald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
When she went walking into town, E-I-E-I-O
The local gentry popped their eyes
Tarnation what a show
With a goldang here and a goshdarn there
Heavens to Betsy I do declare
Ol‘ Mac Donald had a farm E-I-E-I-O
There was a barn dance Saturday night, E-I-E-I-O
And the fellows came from miles around
Just to see her dosey-do
With a promenade here and a promenade there
At a square dance, boy, this chick was no square
Ol‘ MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
I used to be a travelling man, E-I-O,
Until I hit MacDonald‘s place
Things were mighty slow
With a little chick here and a little chick there
I didn‘t have a real chick anywhere
Ol‘ MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
This farmer‘s daughter knocked me out, E-I-E-I-O
I asked MacDonald for her hand
And pop, he hollered “Go!”
With a little curve here and a little wiggle there
A goldang here and a goshdarn there
A dosey-do here and a promenade there
Got my own private county fair
‚Cause ol‘ MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O

Ol’ Man River

Here we all work ‚long the Mississippi
Here we all work while the white folk play
Pullin‘ them boats from the dawn till sunset
Gettin‘ no rest till the judgment day
Don‘t look up and don‘t look down
You don‘t das make the boss man frown
Bend your knees and bow your head
And pull that rope until your dead
Let me go ‚way from the Mississippi
Let me go ‚way from the white man boss
Show me that stream called the River Jordan
That‘s the old stream that I long to cross.
Ol‘ Man River, that Ol‘ Man River
He don‘t say nothin‘, but he must know somethin‘
He just keeps rollin‘, he keeps on rollin‘ along
He don‘t plant tatters, and he don‘t plant cotton
And them what plants em, are soon forgotten
But Ol‘ Man River, just keeps rollin‘ along
You and me, we sweat and strain
Body all achin‘ and racked with pain
Tote that barge and lift that bail
You get a little drunk and you lands in jail
I gets weary, and sick of trying
I‘m tired of livin‘, but I‘m scared of dyin‘
But Ol‘ Man River, he just keeps rolin‘ along

Old Devil Moon

I look at you and suddenly,
Something in your eyes I see;
Soon begins bewitching me.
It‘s that old devil moon;
That you stole from the skies.
It‘s that old devil moon in your eyes.
You and you glance;
Make this romance;
Too hot to handle.
Stars in the night;
Blazing their light;
Can‘t hold a candle;
To your razzle-dazzle.
You‘ve got me flyin‘ high and wide;
On a magic carpet ride;
Full of butterflies inside.
Wanna cry, wanna croon,
Wanna laugh like a loon.
It‘s that old devil moon in your eyes.
Just when I think, I‘m;
Free as a dove.
Old devil moon,
Deep in your eyes,
Blinds me with love.

Old School Teacher

Where is my old school teacher? I don't remember her name.
With a dunce cap, I was always her feature, I loved her just the same.
She stood by through my childhood, like small town school teachers do.
At some little school house here in the wild wood,
They taught men like Lincoln too.
One day I tearfully told her my mother expects me to pass,
Then she let me look over the shoulder of the brightest girl in the class.
Wish I knew how to reach her, I'd write a letter and say,
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher, I'd be a better man today.
Wish I knew how to reach her, I'd write a letter and say,
If I lived the way you taught me to, teacher, I'd be a better man today.

On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever)

On a clear day, rise and look around you, and you'll see who you are.
On a clear day, how it will astound you
That the glow of your feelings outshines every star.
You will follow every mountain, sea and shore,
You will see from far and near a world you've never seen before.
On a clear day, on a clear day, you can see forever, and ever, and ever more.

On A Little Street In Singapore

On a little street in Singapore,
We'd meet beside a lotus-covered door,
A veil of moonlight on her lonely face,
How pale the hands that held me in embrace.
My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar,
And temple bells will guide me to the shore.
And then I'll hold her in my arms, and love the way I loved before,
On a little street in Singapore.

On The Road To Mandalay

By the old Moulmein Pagoda
Looking eastward to the sea
There‘s a Burma gal a settin‘
And I know that she waits for me
And the wind is in those palm trees
And the temple bells they say
Come you back you mother soldier
Come you back to Mandalay, come you back to Mandalay
Come you back to Mandalay
Where the old flotilla lay
I can here those paddles chonkin‘
From Rangoon to Mandalay
On the road to Mandalay
Where the flying fishes play
And the dawn comes up like thunder
Out of China across the bay
Ship me somewhere east of Suez
Where the best is like the worst
And there ain‘t no Ten Commandments
And a cat can raise a thirst
And those crazy bells keep ringing
‚Cause it‘s there that I long to be
By the egg foo yong pagoda
Looking eastward to the see

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Grab your coat and get your hat,
leave your worry at the doorstep,
just direct your feet
to the sunny side of the street!
Can't you hear that pitter-pat?
And that happy tune is your step:
Life can be so sweet
on the sunny side of the street!
I used to walk in the shade
with those blues on parade,
but I'm not afraid
'cause this rover
crossed over.
If I never had a cent,
I'd be as rich as Rockfeller,
Gold dust at my feet
on the sunny side of the street.
(On the side, at that side of the street that is sunny).

Once I Loved

Once, once I Loved
And I gave so much love to this world you were the world to me
Once I cried
At the thought I was foolish and proud and let you say goodbye
And then one day
From my infinite sadness you came and brought me love again
Now I know
That no matter what ever befalls I'll never let you go
I will hold you close
Make you stay
Because love is the saddest thing when it goes away
Love is the saddest thing when it goes away

Once in Love With Amy

Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart afire to stay.
Once you‘re kissed by Amy, tear up your list it‘s Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours away.
You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover so carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold.
But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever sweetly you‘ll romance her, trouble is the answer will be
That Amy‘d rather stay in love with me.
(instrumental), always in love with Amy
Ever and ever fascinated by her, sets your heart afire to stay.
(instrumental), get rid of your list it‘s Amy
Ply her with bonbons, poetry, and flowers, moon a million hours away.
You might be quite the fickle-hearted rover so carefree and bold
Who loves a girl and later thinks it over and just quits cold.
But once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy
Ever and ever sweetly you‘ll romance her, trouble is the answer will be
That Amy‘d rather stay in love with me.

One Finger Melody

Yum dida dida, I love to play this melody,
Yum dida dida, the melody you sang to me.
Here beside my piano, I linger,
Picking out a memory with just one finger.
Yum dida dida, the music brings me close to you,
Maybe if I play it long enough it will come true,
Now you're far away and I'm alone and so I play
Yum dida dida, da yum dida dida, all day.
Yum dida dida, the music brings me close to you,
Maybe if I play it long enough it might come true,
Now you're far away and I'm alone and so I play
Yum dida dida, da yum dida dida, all day.
(Yum dida dida da ooo, yum dida dida da ooo)
Yum dida dida, da ooo.

Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time very long ago
Once upon a hill we sat beneath a willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time, now the tree is gone
How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn't there
We were young and didn't have a care
Where did it go?
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours, how happy we were then
But somehow once upon a time never comes again
Once upon a time never comes again

One For My Baby

Hinweis: Sinatra hat über die Jahrzehnte soviele verschiedene kleine Veränderungen im Text vorgenommen, aufgenommen oder live gesungen, daß man sie hier unmöglich alle wiedergeben kann. Der hier wiedergegebene Text folgt der Einfachheit halber der wohl bekanntesten Studio-Aufnahme, nämlich der von 1958 für das Album „Only The Lonely“.

It‘s a quarter to three,
there‘s no one in the place,
except you and me.

So, set’em up, Joe,
I got a little story
I think you should know.

We‘re drinkin‘, my friend,
to the end
of a brief episode.

Make it one for my baby,
and one more for the road.

I got the routine,
put another nickel
in the machine.

Feelin‘ so bad,
can‘t you make the music
easy and sad?

I could tell you a lot,
but you’ve gotta be
true to your code.

Just make it one for my baby,
and one more for the road.

You‘d never know it,
but buddy, I‘m a kind of poet,
and I gotta a lot of things I‘d like to say.

And when I‘m gloomy,
won’t you listen to me,
till it‘s talked away.

Well, that‘s how it goes,
and Joe I know your gettin‘
anxious to close.

And thanks for the cheer,
I hope you didn‘t mind
my bending your ear.

But this torch that I found,
it‘s gotta be drowned,
or it soon might explode.

So make it one for my baby,
and one more for the road,
the long...
it’s so long...
the long...
very long...

One Love

One love will never die as long as I live,
One love will satisfy the stars that I give
One dream that only you inspire
Is the dream I pursue with all my desire.
How sweet the way you play upon my heart strings,
How strange when you're away, you give my heart wings,
And now you're in my arms and I know why,
You are and always be my one love.
<musical interlude>
How sweet the way you play upon my heart strings,
How strange when you're away, you give my heart wings,
And now you're in my arms and I know why,
You are and always be my one love.

One Note Samba

This is just a little samba
built upon a single note,
other notes are bound to follow,
but the root is still that note.

Now this new one is the consequence
of the one we’ve just been through,
as I’m bound to be the unavoidable
consequence of you!

There’s so many people who can talk and talk and talk and just say nothing,
or nearly nothing,
I have used up all the scale I know, and at the end I’ve come to nothing
or nearly nothing.

So, I come back to my first note,
as I must come back to you,
I will bore into that one note
all the love I feel for you.

Anyone who wants the whole show,
Re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do,
he will find himself with no show:
Better play the note you know!

SAMBA DE UMA NOTA SÒ
Musik und portugiesischer Originaltext von Antonio Carlos Jobim & Newton de Ferreira Mendonça (1959)
(Erstaufnahme: Joao Gilberto, 1959)

Eis aqui este sambinha
feito numa nota só,
outras notas vão entrar,
mas a base é uma só.

Esta outra é consequência
do que acabo de dizer,
como eu sou a consequência
inevitável de você!

Quanta gente existe por aí que fala tanto e não diz nada,
ou quase nada.
Já me utilizei de toda a escala
E no final não sobrou nada
Não deu em nada.

E voltei prá minha nota,
como eu volto prá você,
vou cantar com a minha nota,
como eu gosto de você.

E quem quer todas as notas:
Ré, mi, fá, sol, lá, si, dó,
Fica sempre sem nenhuma,
fique numa nota só!

Only One To A Customer

Only one to a customer, only one,
One crack at paradise, next to none,
Here am I riding high on a miracle come full blown,
Holding tight through a night like I've never known.

Because there's only one kind of wonderful, I still try it,
you and that smile I see in your eyes,
You'll never know the feeling until you spent your life in line,
Only one to a customer, and this time, I got mine.

Only one to a customer, rarely two,
But when you got that dream, one will do.
Why despair at the bare possibility luck has flown?
Stick around, stand your ground, till the cards are shown!

Because there's only
one way they won't come up, all aces high,
That's if you've let the deal pass you by,
Somebody up there bottled a thrill, and like the rarest wine,
If it is one to a customer, I say: just fine!
Only one to a customer, and this one, this little bird is mine!

Only The Lonely

Each place I go only the lonely go
Some little small The songs I know only the lonely know
Each melody recalls a love that used to be
The dreams I dream only the lonely dream
Of lips as warm as May
That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme
That soon somewhere you‘ll find the one that used to care
And you recall each fun time
Those picnics at the beach when love was new
It well could be the one time
A hopeless little dream like that comes true
If you find love hang on to each caress
And never let love go
For when it‘s gone you‘ll know the loneliness
The heartbreak only the lonely know

Our Love Affair

Our love affair will be such fun,
We'll be the envy of everyone,
The famous lovers, we'll make them forget,
From Adam and Eve, to Scarlett and Rhett.
When you have had its merry fling,
We'll spend our evenings remembering,
Two happy people who say on the square,
"Wasn't ours a lovely love affair."

Our town

You will like the folks you meet - in our town
The folks you meet on any street - in our town
Pick out any cottage - white or brown
They're all so appealing - with that lived in feeling
You will like the shady lanes - in our town
The music of the passing trains - in our town
You will lose your heart - I promise you
In this - our two-by-four town
Welcome - on the door town
If you'll - make it your town too

Out Beyong the Window

My window looks out over the park,
And every year I move another story up.
So now I'm almost close enough
To the roof of the sky to touch it.
I could even move the clouds aside,
But no clouds come, if they did, I'd welcome them.
'Cause I have very few visitors here any more.
There must be a highway somewhere, roads I've missed,
Something more than sky out beyond the window.

Over the rainbow

When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a magic lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your windowpane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I dreamed of
Once in a lullabye
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are
far behind me
Where laughter falls like lemon drops away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere, over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can't I?
