I'm walking on air
For I left all my blue days behind
I've learned how
And there's love, really love, on my mind

I'm the world's most happy creature
Tell me
What can worry be?
I'm crazy 'bout my baby
Baby is crazy 'bout me

Mr. Cupid was our teacher
That's the reason we agree
I'm crazy 'bout my baby
Baby is crazy 'bout me

Papa get that book out
Ready in your hand
Keep a steady look out
So you can understand

It's an A-one combination
With a perfect he and she
I'm crazy 'bout my baby
Baby is crazy 'bout me

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't why, but I do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why, but you do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do

You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing

I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, but I do

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension

No matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list,
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

You better watch out!
You better not cry.
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
'Cause Santa Claus is coming to town

He see you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming
He's coming to town

I'll get by
As long as I
Have you
Though there be rain
And darkness too
I'll not complain
I'll see it through
Though I may
Be far away
It's true
Say, what care I
Dear, I'll get by
As long as I
Have you

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember, in September, in the rain

The sun went out just like a dying amber
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain

Though spring is here, to me it's still September
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play our sweet refrain

Though spring is here, to me it's still September
That September
In the rain

Are you lonesome tonight?
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray,
To a bright, summer day,
When I kissed you,
And called you sweetheart?

Do the chairs in your parlor,
Seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep,
And picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain?
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear,
Are you lonesome tonight?

I wonder if you're lonesome tonight?
You know someone said that the world's a stage,
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweetheart.

Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance.
You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue.
Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange,
And why I've never known.

Honey, you lied when you said you loved me.
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies,
Than to go on living without you.

Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there,
With emptiness all around.
And if you won't come back to me,
Then they can bring the curtain down.

Is your heart filled with pain?
Shall I come back again?
Tell me dear,
Are you lonesome tonight?

No one to talk with
All by myself
No one to walk with
But I'm happy on the shelf
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

I know for certain
The one I love
I'm through with flirtin'
It's just you I'm thinkin' of
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' my love for you

Like Jack Horner
In the corner
Don't go nowhere
What do I care?
Your kisses are worth waitin' for
Believe me

I don't stay out late
No place to go
I'm home about eight
Just me and my radio
Ain't misbehavin'
I'm savin' all my love for you

Gee, how I miss
Your tender kiss,
And the wonderful things we would do.

Now I run my hands
Through silvery strands--
You left me blue turning grey over you.

You used to be
So good to me--
That's when I was a novelty.

Now, you've new friends in view,
You've found someone new,
And left me blue turning grey over you.

Who's sorry now, who's sorry now
Whose heart is achin' for breakin' each vow
Who's sad and blue, who's cryin' too
Just like I cried over you

Right to the end, just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way, now you must pay
I'm glad that you're sorry now

'twas on the Isle of Capri that I found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flow'rs bloomin' round her
Where we met on the Isle of Capri

She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri

Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"

She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
'twas goodbye from the Isle of Capri

[ GRACIE FIELDS VERSION ONLY: Somewhere far away, over Naples Bay
I heard a quaint lover's story
Its magic thrill holds a spell on me still
It's a story old, that's been sadly told
Down by the shore in the moonlight
How love began for a girl and a man ]

Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a sweet word of love?"

She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
'twas goodbye from the Isle of Capri
