Pale Moon (An Indian Love Song)

Out of my love that eventide, monstrous clouds even pine
Footsteps echo by my side, the spirit takes a sign
Twilight skies are all alight across the deep lagoon,
A face is breaking through the night, my Indian maid Pale Moon.
Speak through thy love forsaken, thy spirit mantle grow.
Ere thou the great white dawn awaken and through the sea thou swingest low,
Then to the west, I'll follow across the deep lagoon,
Swift as a flying arrow, to thy abode, Pale Moon.

Paradise

And when she holds my hand, mmmm, mmmm
And I will understand, mmmm, mmmm.
One kiss afire with one desire, a heavenly kiss could I resist?
And then I turn the light, mmmm, mmmm.
And then she hold me tight, mmmm, mmmm.
One kiss one fond caress will lead the way to happiness
She takes me to paradise.

Pass Me By

(Pass me by, pass me by, if you don't happen to like it, pass me by)
I got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand,
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command,
A loverly pair of heels that kick to beat the band,
Contemplating nature can be fascinating,
Add to these a nose that I can thumb, and a mouth by gum have I
So tell the whole wide world, if you don't happen to like it,
Deal me out, thank you kindly, pass me by.
<Pass me by, pass me by, if you don't happen to like it, pass me by.>

(Pass me by, pass me by, if you don't happen to like it, pass me by.)
Behold me two great shoes that never saw a shine,
Houses I could hold up with a laundry line.
A loverly patch that hide an awful lot of spine.
Shirtails flying, I'm a blooming dandelion.
Add to these, a grin from ear to ear, all the proper gear have I,
So tell the whole wide world, if you don't like the thought of it,
Bail me out, thank you kindly, pass me by.
<Pass me by, pass me by, if you don't happen to like it, pass me by.>
<Pass me by, pass me by, if you don't happen to like it, pass me by.>

Peachtree Street

(Say, Frank, you wanna take a walk?)
Sure, sweetie, just pick a street.
(Picadilly Circus) Aw I'd rather not. (Champ Elysees) Hey.no. (Times Square?) Nah.
'Cause there's nothing can compare with
Strolling along Peachtree street with my baby on my arm.
I got the sweetest peach in Georgia, and she just came off the farm.
(Strolling along Peachtree street, I'm happy as can be.)
(I've gotta thank the state of Georgia, for my baby's family tree.)
[Everybody in Atlanta knows what a treasure I found,]
I'm gonna set my gem if on the main stem,
[We'll spread lot of little peaches all around.]
I feel like a new millionaire, when I'm walking with my charm,
[Strolling along Peachtree Street, with baby on my arm.]
(You like Peachtree Street, Frank?)
Oh I love the place where are the peach trees?
(We'll have to go back a few years.)
Well let's turn around.
(Can't you see me in a hoop skirt,)
(Strolling along Peachtree street with a colonel on my arm.)
And I can tell that you're from Georgia, because you got that Georgia charm
(Strolling along Peachtree street, I'm happy as can be.)
Eh, we're all merry. How come the sweetest peach in Georgia help Mayville, Kentucky.
(Let's not get it around.) I can be reached.
[We'll be married in Atlanta, one happy man and his spouse.]
(And just as sure as you're born, we'll gather some corn,)
[And spread around a lot of little colonels round the house.]
I feel like a new millionaire, when I'm walking with my charm.
[Strolling along Peachtree street, with baby on my arm.}
Hey sugar. (What's the matter, honey chile?)
Well. I'm getting kinda tired. Will you rather carry me, or call a cab?
(Whistle, Taxi!) Thank you sweetie.

Pennies From Heaven

Every time it rains,
It rains pennies from heaven
Don‘t you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven
You‘ll find your fortune‘s falling
All over the town
Be sure that your umbrella is upside down
Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So when you hear it thunder don‘t run under a tree
There‘ll be pennies from heaven for you and me

People Will Say We’re in Love

Don't throw bouquets at me, don't please my folks too much,
Don't laugh at my jokes too much, people will say we're in love.
Don't sigh and gaze at me, your sighs are so like mine,
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine, people will say we're in love.
Don't start collecting things, give me my rose and my glove,
Sweetheart, they're suspecting things, people will say we're in love.
Don't praise my charm to much, don't look so vain with me,
Don't stand in the rain with me, people will say we're in love.
Don't take my arm too much, don't keep your hand in mine,
You hand feels go grand in mine, people will say we're in love.
Don't dance all night with me, till the stars fade out of sight,
They'll see it's alright with me, people will say we're in love.

Pick Yourself Up

Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Start all over again.

Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired,
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son!

Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
and start all over again.

Please Be Kind

This is my first affair - please be kind
Handle my heart with care - please be kind
This is all so grand
My dreams are on parade
If you‘ll just understand
They‘ll never, never fade
So tell me your love‘s sincere - please be kind
Tell me I needn‘t fear - please be kind
‚Cause if you leave me dear, I know my heart - will lose its mind
If you love me - please be kind

Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone

PLEASE DON’T TALK ABOUT ME WHEN I’M GONE
Musik von Sam H. Stept, Text von Sidney Clare (1930)

Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone,
oh, honey, though our friendship ceases from now on,
and listen: If you can’t say anything real nice,
‘t is better not to talk at all - that’s my advice!

(We’re parting:) You go your way, i’ll go mine - it’s best that we do!
Here’s a kiss, I hope that this brings lots o’ luck to you!
Makes no difference how I carry on -
remember: Please don’t talk about me when I’m gone!

Pocketful Of Miracles

Pee-rac-ti-cal-Ii-ty de-us-n't int'rest me, love the life that I lead.
I've got a pocketful of miracles, and with a pocketful of miracles,
One little miracle a day is all I need!
Tree-rou-bles, more or less, bee-ah-ther me, I guess, when the sun doesn't shine.
But there's that pocketful of miracles, and with a pocketful of miracles.
The world's a bright and shiny apple that's mine, all mine.
I hear sleigh bells ringing smack! In the middle of May.
I go around like there's snow around,
I feel so good, it's Christmas every day! Lee-ife's a carousel, fee-ar as I can tell,
And I'm riding for free! So if you're down and out of miracles,
I've got a pocketful of miracles.
And there'll be miracles enough for you and me.

I hear sleigh bells ringing smack! In the middle of May.
I go around like there's snow around,
I feel so good, it's Christmas every day! Lee-ife's a carousel, fee-ar as I can tell,
And I'm riding for free! I've got a pocketful of miracles,
But if I had to pick a miracle,
My favorite miracle of all is you and me.

Poinciana

Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love
Pale moon is casting shadows from above
Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat
Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat.
Love is everywhere, it‘s magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart‘s in time, I‘ve learned to care!
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day,
I‘ll learn to love forever, come what may
Love is everywhere, it‘s magic perfume fills the air
To and fro you sway, my heart‘s in time, I‘ve learned to care!
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day,
I‘ll learn to love forever, come what may.
Poinciana!

Polka Dots And Moonbeams

A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an “Oh, beg your pardon”
Suddenly I saw - polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started, and was I the perplexed one
I held my breathe, and said “May I have the next one?”
In my frightened arms - polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage, built of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning, of the words: “ever after”
And I‘ll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream

Poor Butterfly

Poor Butterfly
‚Neath the blossoms waiting
Poor Butterfly
For she loved him so
The moments pass into hours
The hours pass into years
And as she smiles through her tears
She murmurs low
The moon and I
Know that he‘ll be faithful
I‘m sure he‘ll come back
By and by
But if he don‘t come back
I just must die
Poor Butterfly
(Repeat, then modulate and repeat again)

Poor You

Poor you, I'm sorry you're not me, for you will never know what loving you can be.
Poor you, you'll never know your charms,
You'll never feel your warmth, you're never in your arms.
When it is you I'm kissing, I pity you constantly,
You don't know what you're missing, `cause you're only kissing poor me.
Poor you, you live your whole life through,
And yet you'll never know the thrill of loving you.

Pretty Colors

I close my eyes and just see pretty colors,
They're dancing just for me, pretty colors (pretty colors)
Locked in my mind they'll always be,
You'll never give your love to me,
So I'll just close my eyes and just see pretty colors (pretty colors).
Locked in my mind they'll always be,
You'll never give your love to me,
So I'll just close my eyes and just see pretty colors (pretty colors)
Pretty colors (pretty colors), pretty colors.

Prisoner Of Love

Alone from night to night you'll find me too weak to break the chains that bind me.
I need no shackles to remind me, I'm just a prisoner of love.
For one command, I stand and wait now from one who's master of my fate now.
I can't escape for it's too late now, I'm just a prisoner of love.
What's the good of my caring if someone is sharing those arms with me.
Although she has another, I can't find another for I'm not free.
She's in my dreams awake or sleeping, upon my knees to her I'm creeping,
My very life is in her keeping, I'm just a prisoner of love.

P.S. I Love You

What is there to write? What is there to say?
Same things happen everyday, not a thing to write, not a thing to say,
So I take my pen in hand and start the same old way.

Dear, I thought I'd drop a line, the weather's cool, the folks are fine,
I'm in bed each night at nine, P. S. I love you.
Yesterday we had some rain, but all in all, I can't complain,
Was it dusty on the train, P. S. I love you.
Write to the Browns just as soon as you're able,
They came around to call, and I burned a hole in the dining room table,
And let me see, I guess that's all.
Nothing else for me to say, and so I'll close but by the way,
Everybody's thinking of you, P. S. I love you.
I do my best to obey all your wishes, I put a sign up "Think"
But I gotta buy us a new set of dishes, or wash the ones that are piled in the sink.
Nothing else to tell you dear, except each day seems like a year,
Every night I'm dreaming of you, P. S. I love you.

Put Your Dreams Away

Put your dreams away
for another day,
and I will take their place in your heart.

Wishing on a star
never got you far,
and so it's time to make a new start.

When your dreams at night
fade before you,
then I'll have the right
to adore you.

Let your kiss confess
this is happiness,
darling –
and put all your dreams away.
