Love is Here to Stay
(Ira Gershwin/George Gershwin)(1938)

It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day

The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies, and in time may go
But oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way

In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay


What a Wonderful World
(George David Weiss and Bob Thiele)(1967)
(Sung by Louis Armstrong)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people goin' by
I see friends shakin' hands, saying "How do you do!"
They're really sayin' "I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself
What a wonderful world


When I Fall in Love
(Edward Heyman/Victor Young) (1952)

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world like this is
Love is over before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart
It will be completely
Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that
You feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you


The Way You Look Tonight
(Dorothy Fields/Jerome Kern)(1936)

Someday
When I'm awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

Oh but you're so lovely
With your smile so warm
And your cheek so soft
There's nothing for me but to love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fear apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
Touches my foolish heart

Lovely,
Never never change
Keep that breathless charm
Won't you please arrange it 'cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight


Come Rain or Come Shine
(Johnny Mercer/Harold Arlen) (1946)

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain and deep as a river
Come rain or come shine

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me

You're gonna love me like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And wouldn't it be fine

Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine


It Had to Be You
(By Gus Kahn and Isham Jones)

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinking of you

Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do

For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
Had to be you
