Letra When I fall in love it will be forever Or I'll never fall in love In a restless world such as this is Love has ended before it's begun And too many moonlight kisses Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun (sun) When I give my heart it will be completely Or I'll never give my heart No, no, no And the moment I can feel (feel that) that You feel that way too Is when I fall in love with you (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) Ooh, ooh (Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo) La, la, la, la, la, la, la Oh and when I give my heart It will be completely Or I'll never, ever give my heart Mmm, but the moment that I (feel that) feel that You feel the same way too And I hope you do Is when I fall in love When I fall in love When I fall in love (Wit...

The very thought of you

Imagen
  Canción de 1934  de Ray Noble, en la versión de Nat King Cole. Letra The very thought of you and I forget to do The little ordinary things that everyone ought to do I'm living in a kind of daydream I'm happy as a king And foolish though it may seem To me that's everything The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love The mere idea of you, the longing here for you You'll never know how slow the moments go till I'm near to you I see your face in every flower Your eyes in stars above It's just the thought of you The very thought of you, my love

Stardust

Imagen
  Canción compuesta en 1927 por Howard Carmichael, con letra de Mitchell Parish.  Carmichael ha compuesto otras canciones como « Georgia on My Mind »,  Letra And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wandered down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder how I spend The lonely night Dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairytale Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody A memory of love's refrain

Letra There was a boy A very strange enchanted boy They say he wandered very far, very far Over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he And then one day A magic day he passed my way And while we spoke of many things Fools and kings This he said to me "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return" "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return"

Letra Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows, a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mothers child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety two Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety two Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you
