You Send Me
(L.C. Cooke)
ABKCO Music, Inc. (BMI)
(A Section)
Darlin' you send me
Darlin' you send me
Darlin' you send me boy
Honest, you do
Darlin' you thrill me, boy
Darlin' you thrill me baby
Darlin' you thrill me
Honest, you do

At first I thought it was infatuation
But it lasted so long
I found myself wanting to
To marry you and carry you home
(~ Repeat Sections A, B, A then go to vamp ~)
(Vamp)
Honest you do, you do
Lord have mercy
I ain lyin'
Honest you do
My Lord you do
My Lord you do...
Honest, really... Lord
You gotta believe me
You do, you do
Honest you do!
You Don't Know What Love Is
Gene DePaul/Don Raye - MCA Inc. (ASCAP)
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is
You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your coin and you have lost
You don't know what love is
Do you know how lost I've been at the thought of reminiscing?
And how lips that taste the tears... they lose their taste for kissing?
You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced the dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
Bye Bye Blackbird
Ray Henderson/Morton Dixon
Ray Henderson Music Publishing (ASCAP)/ Old Clover Leaf Music (ASCAP)
Pack up all my cares and woe,
here I go singing low
Bye Bye Blackbird
Where somebody waits for me,
sugar's sweet and so is he
Bye Bye Blackbird
No one here can love and understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
I'll pack my bag and light the light
I'll arrive home late tonight
Blackbird...bye, bye
Prayer Dance
Eddie Green/Morris Bailey
Miss Zera Publishing Co (BMI)
Lift my knees from the ground
I will put my feet down
I will dance all my prayers
Unto God
With a swing and a sway
I will do it my way
That's why I dance all my prayers
Unto God
Do I stand for peace and love?
Yes I will... express myself to God in my dance
And when I pray I feel rhythm and song
That's why I dance all my prayers
Unto God
Inchworm
Frank Loesser
Frank Music Corp (ASCAP)
Inchworm, inchworm
Measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmetic will probably go far
Inchworm, inchworm
Measuring the marigolds
Seems to me you'd stop and see how beautiful they are!
With Every Breath I Take
Cy Coleman/Zippel David Joel
Notable Music Co Inc C/O BMG Gold Songs
BMG Rights Management US LLC
There's not a morning that I open up my eyes and find I didn't dream of you...
Without a warning, no it's never a surprise
Soon as I awake, thoughts of you arise
With every breath I take...
At any time or place
I close my eyes and see your face
And I'm embracing you...
If only I believed that dreams come true... Darlin'
You were the one who said forever from the start
And I've been drifting since you've been gone
Out on a lonely sea that only you can chart
I've been going on, knowing that my heart will break... With every breath I take...
~From "City Of Angels"~
What Is This Thing Called Love?
Cole Porter
Warner Bros. (ASCAP)
What is this thing called love?
This funny thing called love?
Just who can solve its mystery?
Why should it make a fool of me?
I saw you there one wonderful day
You took my heart and threw it away
That's why I ask the Lord in Heaven above
What is this thing called love?
My Funny Valentine
Richard Rogers/Larenz Hart
Chappell & Co. Inc (ASCAP)
My funny Valentine
Sweet, comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet you're 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?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine stay
And each day will be Valentine's Day
Don't Waste Your Time
Rachelle Ferrell
Aural Elixir Music (ASCAP)
(1st Verse)
I know what you're thinking
But don't even try it
I know that you want me
But you're wasting your time
I know that you're scheming
But you might as well forget it
I know that you've been dreaming
But you're wasting your time... so
Chorus
Don't waste your time with me
Don't wait too long to see
What you really don't want to find
Baby, don't waste your time!
Don't Waste Your Time (continued)
(2nd Verse)
I don't want your money
I don't want you, honey
I never wanted your number
I never wanted your name
I don't need affection
I don't need protection
I never wanted nothin' from you
And that's the name of the game... so
Chorus
Don't waste your time with me
Don't wait too long to see
What you really don't want to find
Baby, don't waste your time!

Picture sunrise
Picture moon glow
Love do you know
Nature had her way with you, with you
Eyes of fire
Lines of laughter
It's no wonder
Nature had her way with you, with you
Extensions of each other
Born to one another
Extensions of each other
Born to one another in love
Born to one another in love
Born to one another in love...
Autumn Leaves
Joseph Kosma/Jaque Prevert/Johnny Mercer
Morley Music (ASCAP)
The autumn leaves drift by my window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips the summer kisses
Those sunburned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the nights grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, my darling
When autumn leaves begin to fall...
