Ella Fitzgerald - Night and Day

Ella Fitzgerald - Night and Day 


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEM_63_P0CY


Night And Day

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Night and day, day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day, night and day,
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day.

Ella Fitzgerald- If you ever change your mind


Ella Fitzgerald- If you ever change your mind



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuVnbI5zLM8

I would bring you flowers in the morning
Wild roses as the sun begins to shine
Sweet perfume in tiny jeweled caskets
If I thought you'd ever change your mind

I would take you where the music's sweetest
And feed you winter fruits and summer wine
Show you things you've only read in story books
If I thought you'd ever change your mind

I would bring you happiness
Wrapped up in a box and tied with a yellow bow
I would bring you summer rain and rainbow skies to make your garden grow
And in the winter snow my songs would keep you from the cold

But what use of flowers in the morning
When the garden they should grow in is not mine
And what use is sunshine if I'm crying
And my falling tears are mingled with the wine

I would bring you happiness
Wrapped up in a box and tied with a yellow bow
I would bring you rainbow skies
And summer rain to make your garden grow
And in the winter snow my songs would keep you from the cold

I would bring you flowers in the morning
Wild roses when the sun begins to shine
Winter fruits and summer wine
Sweet perfume and columbine
If I thought you'd ever change your mind
If I thought you'd ever change your mind

Ella Fitzgerald - You Do Something To Me

Ella Fitzgerald - You Do Something To Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b28br15q0qY&feature=share


I was mighty blue
Thought my life was through
'Til the heavens opened
And I gazed at you

Won't you tell me, dear
Why, when you appear,
Something happens to me
And the strangest feeling goes through me?

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotize me?

Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do

Ella Fitzgerald - I've Got a Crush on You (1950)


Ella Fitzgerald - I've Got a Crush on You (1950)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WP1p3mUKDw&feature=share

How glad the many millions
Of Timothys and Williams
Would be, to capture me
But you had such persistence
You wore down my resistance
I fell, and it was swell
You're my big and brave and handsome Romeo
How I won you I shall never, never know
It's not that you're attractive
But oh, my heart grew active
When you came into view

I've got a crush on you, sweetie pie
All the day and nighttime, hear me sigh
I never had the least notion
That I could fall with such emotion
Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you

Could you coo, could you care
For a cunning cottage we could share
The world will pardon my mush
Cause I've got a crush, my baby, on you

Ella Fitzgerald e Louis Armstrong - Moonlight In Vermont

Ella Fitzgerald e Louis Armstrong - Moonlight In Vermont


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NGbRXKg6Kg&feature=share



Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves, a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont
Icy finger-waves
Ski trails on a mountainside
Snowlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway
And travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely
Ev'ning summer breeze
Warbling of a meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont
Telegraph cables, how they sing down the highway
And they travel each bend in the road
People who meet in this romantic setting
Are so hypnotized by the lovely
Ev'ning summer breeze
The warbling of a meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont
Moonlight in Vermont
Moonlight in Vermont

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong - Nearness Of You

Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong - Nearness Of You


It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It's just the nearness of you

When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you'll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Ella Fitzgerald - Dream a Little Dream of Me

Ella Fitzgerald - Dream a Little Dream of Me





Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
(Oh how you linger on)
Still craving your kiss
(How you crave my kiss)
Now I am longing to linger till dawn dear
Just sitting there
(Give me a little kiss)

Dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
Ya I am longing to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams when dreaming
(Till sunbeams find you keep dreamin')
Gotta keep dreamin'
(Leave your worries behind you)
But in your dreams whatever they be
You gotta make me a promise
Promise to me
You'll dream dream a little dream of me.

Ella Fitzgerald - Misty

Ella Fitzgerald singing Misty in TV.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQouJdvB80U&feature=share

Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree;
And I feel like I'm clingin' to a cloud,
I can' t understand
I get misty, just holding your hand.
Walk my way,
And a thousand violins begin to play,
Or it may be the sound of your hello,
That music I hear,
I get misty, whenever you're near.
You can say that you're leading me on
And it's just what I want you to do,
Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost?
That's why I'm following you.
On my own,
When I wander through this wonderland alone,
Never knowing my right foot from my left
My hat from my glove
I'm too misty, and too much in love.
Too misty,
And too much...
In love.....look at me....

Ella Fitzgerald - Jazz in Montreux '79 - St. Louis Blues

Ella Fitzgerald - Jazz in Montreux '79 - St. Louis Blues


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhcJ34Ra54E&feature=share



I hate to see that evening sun go down
I hate to see that evening sun go down
'Cause, my baby, he's gone left this town

Feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way

St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man around by her
If it wasn't for her and her
That man I love would have gone nowhere, nowhere

I got the St. Louis Blues
Blues as I can be
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me

I love my baby like a school boy loves his pie
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his mint'n rye
I love my man till the day I die

by W.C. Handy


Ella Fitzgerald - Cry me a river

Ella Fitzgerald - Cry me a river




You were my sun
You were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance
And made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down,no



You don't have to say, what you did,
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me,
there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it



You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Your bridges were burned,
and now it's your turn to cry



Cry me a river
Cry me a river, girl
Cry me a river
Cry me a river, girl, yea yea



I know that they say
That somethings are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
(Messing with my head)
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it
(Yea..)



You don't have to say, what you did,
(Don't have to say, what you did)
I already know, I found out from him
(I already know, uh)
Now there's just no chance, for you and me,
there'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it?



You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone
(All alone)
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone
(When you call me on the phone)
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
(I'm not like them baby)
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
(It's your turn)
To cry



Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river, girl
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river, girl, yea yea
Oh



(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be... leaving



You don't have to say, what you did,
(Don't have to say, what you did)
I already know, I found out from him
(I already know, uh)
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
(No chance, you and me)



And don't it make you sad about it
Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river, girl
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river
(You can go on and just)
Cry me a river, girl, yea yea
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river, girl
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Cause I've already cried)
Cry me a river, girl, yea yea
(Ain't gonna cry no more, yea-yea)
Cry me a river
Cry me a river, oh 3x
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)

Ella and Stevie - You are the sunshine of my life

Ella and Stevie - You are the sunshine of my life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeSEpipLb30&feature=share



You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I've loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears.
You are the sunshine of my life,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart,
You must have known that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How could so much love be inside of you?
You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart.
(Background) Love has joined us,
Love has joined us,
Let's think sweet love.
