album: A Swingin’ Affair 1957 (A)
You’d be so nice to come home to
You’d be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You’d be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burnin’ above
You’d be so nice, you’d be paradise
To come [...]

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
‘n’ stars fell on Alabama last night
I can’t forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
While stars fell on Alabama last night
I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly
A fairy land where [...]

Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before you travel on
Look up, look up and seek your maker
Before Gabriel blows his horn
Weary totin’ such a load
Trudgin’ down the lonesome road
Look down, look down that lonesome road
Before, before you travel on
True love, true love, what have [...]

Holdin’ hands at midnight
‘neath a starry sky
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Strollin’ with the one girl
Sighin’ sigh after sigh
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
Just imagine someone
Waiting at the [...]

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 kissin’
I never knew the thrill I could get from your touch
Never knew much
Oh, look [...]

The sleepless nights, the daily fights
The quick toboggan when you reach the heights
I miss the kisses and I miss the bites
I wish I were in love again
The broken dates, the endless waits
The lovely loving and the hateful hates
The conversation with the flying plates
I wish [...]

I won’t dance, don’t ask me
I won’t dance, don’t ask me
I won’t dance, Madame, with you
My heart won’t let my feet do things that they should do
You know what?, you’re lovely
You know what?, you’re so lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I’m like an [...]
album: A Swingin’ Affair 1957 (A)
I could show the world how to smile
I could be glad all of the while
I could change the gray skies to blue
If I had you
I could leave the old days behind
Leave all my pals, I’d never mind
I could start my life anew
If I had [...]

Never treats me sweet and gentle the way she should
I got it bad and that ain’t good
My poor heart is sentimental, not made of wood
I got it bad and that ain’t good
But when the weekend’s over and Monday rolls around
I end up like I [...]

I got plenty o’nothin’ and nothin’s plenty for me
I got no car, got no mule, I got no misery
Folks with plenty of plenty, they got a lock on the door
Afraid somebody’s gonna rob ‘em while they’re out a’makin’ more
What for?
I got no lock on [...]
