GERSHWIN, GEORGE / HEYWARD, DU BOSE / HEYWARD, DOROTHY / GERSHWIN, IRA

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Oh, Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But until that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy standing by

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

Chet Baker - How Deep Is The Ocean

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peLNUv9_YrY&feature=share

How much do I love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

My Funny Valentine - Chet Baker

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iQQGBfbB0k&feature=related

My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't you change one hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
Each day is Valentine's day

Chet Baker - Time After Time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o8Be7KG2r4&feature=share

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
so lucky to be loving you
so lucky to be
the one you run to see
in the evening when the day is through

I only know what I know
the passing years will show
you've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
so lucky to be loving you.

[horn solo]

I only know what I know
the passing years will show
you've kept my love so young, so new

And time after time
You'll hear me say that I'm
so lucky to be loving you.

Time After Time - Chet Baker

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nchEXBimNlg&feature=share 

Lying in my bed

I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles

Confusion is nothing new

Flash back warm night, almost left behind

Suitcase of memories

Time after

Sometime you pictured me

I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me

I can't hear what you've said

Then you said, "Go slow, I fall behind"

The second hand unwinds

CHORUS:

If you're lost you can look

And you will find me, time after time

If you fall I will catch you

I'll be waiting, time after time

If you're lost you can look

And you will find me, time after time

If you fall I will catch you

I'll be waiting, time after time

After my picture fades

And darkness has turned to grey

Watching through windows

You're wondering if I'm OK

Secrets stolen from deep inside

The drum beats out of time

CHORUS:

You said, "Go slow, I fall behind"

The second hand unwinds

CHORUS:

Time after time ...

Chet Baker - There Will Never Be Another You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xpcBx1Gm-c&feature=share


There will be many other nights like this 
And I'll be standing here with someone new 
There will be other songs to sing 
Another fall, another spring 
But there will never be another you 

There will be other lips that I may kiss
But they won't thrill me like yours used to do
Yes, I may dream a million dreams
But how can they come true
If there will never ever be another you

Love Vibration

Step out into the sun

Step out into the world and love someone

Save yourself from hate

Save yourself from hate and all the hassle

And you people all know what I'm talkin' about

Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about

Spread the love vibration...uh huh

Spread the love vibration

Now everybody's scared

Scared of being lonely and abandoned

If you find someone who cares

Find someone to love and understand you

Then you people all'll know what I'm talkin' about

Yeah you people all know what he's talkin' about

If you people all know what I'm talkin' about...

Spread the love vibration... uh huh

Spread the love vibration... uh huh

Spread the love vibration

Chet Baker - Easy Living

Billie Holiday, Chet Baker

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9l3P6idsgQ

Living for you is easy living

It's easy to live when you're in love

And I'm so in love

There is nothing in life but you

I never regret the years that I'm giving

They're easy to give when you're in love

I'm happy to do whatever I do for you

For you maybe I'm a fool

But it's fun

People say you rule me with one wave of your hand

Darling, it's grand

They just don't understand

Living for you is easy living

It's easy to live when you're in love

And I'm so in love

There's nothing in life but you

Leo Robin / Ralph Rainger

Chet Baker - I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNllzVcAQpM


Grown accustomed to her looksOh I, I've grown, grown accustomed to her voice
I've grown accustomed to her faceShe almost makes the day beginI've grown accustomed to the tuneShe whistles night and noon
Her smiles, her frowns, her ups and her downsAre second nature to me now(Second nature)Like breathing out and breathing in(Breathing out and in)
I was serenely independent and content before we metSurely I could always be that way again and yetI've grown accustomed to her looksAccustomed to her voice, accustomed to her face
Grown accustomed to her looksGrown accustomed to her voice
I've grown accustomed to her faceShe almost makes the day begin(Day begin)I've gotten used to hear her say"Good morning", every day
Her joys, her woes, her highs, her lowsAre second nature to me now(Second nature)Like breathing out and breathing in(Breathing out and in)
I'm so grateful she's a woman and so easy to forgetRather like a habit one can always break and yetI've grown accustomed to the trace of something in the airAccustomed to her face
Grown accustomed to her looksGrown accustomed to her traceI've grown accustomed to her voiceGrown accustomed to her face
She's second nature to me nowLike breathing out and breathing in(Breathing out and breathing in)
I was serenely independent and content before we metSurely I could always be that way again and yetI've grown accustomed to her looksAccustomed to her voice, I've accustomed to her face
Her looks(I can't believe)Her trace(How much I love her)Her voiceHer face
(I'm addicted to you, baby)Her looksHer trace(Because your love that drives me crazy)Her voiceHer face
Grown accustomed to her voice(You know I finally realize)Grown accustomed to her face(I got to hold it by my side)Grown accustomed to her looks(I wanna be, be your ornament)Grown accustomed to her trace('Cause I love you, baby, please take my hand)
Grown accustomed to her voice(I'll be good to you each and everyday)Grown accustomed to her face(I've grown accustomed)Grown accustomed to her looksGrown accustomed to her trace
(Can't live if the livin' is without you)Grown accustomed to her voiceGrown accustomed to her face(Can't give, can't live anymore)

Chet Baker - In a sentimental mood

Chet Baker - In a sentimental mood


But now it has happened
No use in talking
The silence between me and you
Has never had meaning
It was love--it--that was all that was asked
But now it has happened
No words for the fore time
The desperation has made me the same
Has made me another
Who looks at the shape of a fish grow giant on the side of his bowl
Who walks on the terrace observing foliage from above
Who hears the snapping of plastic that wraps like

CHET BAKER - THIS IS ALWAYS by MACK GORDON & HARRY WARREN

CHET BAKER - THIS IS ALWAYS by MACK GORDON & HARRY WARREN

This isn’t sometimes, this is always.
This isn’t maybe, this is always.
This is love,
The real beginning of forever,
This isn’t just mid summer madness,
A passing glow, a moment’s gladness,
Yes it’s love.
I knew it on the night we met,
You tied a string around my heart,
So how can I forget you.
With every kiss I know that
This is always.
Yes it’s

Chet Baker - I'm a Fool to Want You


I'm a fool to want you I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To seek a kiss not mine alone To share a kiss the Devil has known Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'd have to say I'm a fool to want you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I'd have to say Take me back, I love you Pity me, I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you

Chet Baker e Paul Bley - If I Should Lose You

If I Should Lose You

Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald

If I should lose you
The stars would fall from the sky
If I should lose you
Leaves would wither and dieThe birds in May-time - they'd sing a mournful refrain
And I would wander around - hating the sound of rain
With you beside me
The rose would bloom in the snow
With you beside me
No winds of winter would blow
I gave you my love - and I was living a dream
But living would seem - in vain if I
(Hating the rain - if I)
(All is in vain if I)
If I ever lost you

CHET BAKER - My Funny Valentine


Lyrics by LORENZ HART

My funny valentine...
Sweet, comic valentine...
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
yet your my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine
Stay
Each day is valentine's day.

Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak,
Are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine
Stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
