Let It Snow - Ella Fitzgerald

Let It Snow - Ella Fitzgerald


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Es9J787XZw&feature=share


Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate to go out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying
And my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!


Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole - It's All Right With Me

Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole It's All Right With Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvfI0sJbk7o&feature=share


It's the wrong time, and the wrong place
Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face
It's not her face, but such a charming face
That it's all right with me

It's the wrong song, in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile, but such a lovely smile
That it's all right with me

You can't know how happy I am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone I'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone, too?

It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips, but they're such tempting lips
That, if some night, you are free
Then it's all right, yes, it's all right with me

Ella Abraca Jobim - One Note Samba

Tom Jobim/Newton Mendonça


http://www.radio.uol.com.br/#/album/ella-fitzgerald/ella-abraca-jobim-ella-fitzgerald-sings-the-antonio-carlos-jobim-songbook/793 

Eis aqui este sambinha
Feito numa nota só
Outras notas vão entrar
Mas a base é uma só
Esta outra é consequência
Do que acabo de dizer
Como eu sou a consequência
Inevitável de você

Quanta gente existe por aí
Que fala tanto 
e não diz nada
Ou quase nada
Já me utilizei de toda a escala
E no final não sobrou nada
Não deu em nada

E voltei prá minha nota
Como eu volto prá você
Vou cantar com a minha nota
Como eu gosto de você
E quem quer todas as notas
Ré mi fá sol la si dó
Fica sempre sem nenhuma
Fique numa nota só



--------------------------------------------


English lyrics by Tom Jobim

This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new one is the consequence
Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable 
consequence of you

There's so many people who can 
talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing
Or nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know
And at the end I've come to nothing
Or nearly nothing

So I came back to my first note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
Re mi fa sol la si do
He will find himself with no show  
Better play the note you know

Ella Fitzgerald - How Long Has This Been Going On

Neath the stars, at bazaars
Often I've had to caress men
Five or ten, dollars then, I'd collect from all those yes-men
Don't be sad, I must add, that they meant no more than chess-men

Darling, can't you see?
'Twas for charity?
Though these lips have made slips, it was never really serious
Who'd have thought, I'd be brought to a state that's so delirious?

I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years?
Little wow, tell me now
How long has this been goin' on?

There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been goin' on?

Oh, I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world

Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?

(spoken)
Kiss me twice, once more, thrice, make it four

What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been goin' on?

More Than You Know - Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson

More Than You Know - Ella Fitzgerald and Oscar Peterson


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsgP4Hjgyv4


Whether you are here or yonder 
Whether you are false or true 
Whether you remain or wander 
I’m growing fonder of you 
Even though your friends forsake you 
Even though you don't succeed 
Wouldn't I be glad to take you 
Give you the break you need 

More than you know 
More than you know 
Man of my heart, I love you so 
Lately I find 
You're on my mind 
More than you know 
Whether you're right, whether you're wrong 
Man of my heart, I'll string along 
You need you so 
More than you'll ever know 
Loving you the way that I do 
There's nothing I can do about it 
Loving may be all you can give 
But honey, I can't live without it 
Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry 
If you got tired, and said goodbye 
More than I'd show 
More than you'd ever know.

Blue Moon - Ella Fitzgerald

Blue Moon

You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
