It's A Lonesome Old Town

It's A Lonesome Old Town
music by Charles Kisco
lyric by Harry Tobias (upper left)

It's a lonesome old town when you're not around,
I'm as lonely as I can be.
I never knew how much I missed you,
But now I can plainly see,
It's a lonesome old town when you're not around,
How I wish you'd come back to me...

It's A Grand Night For Singing

It's A Grand Night For Singing
music by Richard Rodgers (left)
lyric by Oscar Hammerstein II (right)

It's a grand night for singing,
The moon is flying high,
And somewhere a bird who is bound he'll be heard,
Is throwing his heart at the sky.

It's a grand night for singing,
The stars are bright above,
The earth is aglow, and, to add to the show,
I think I am falling in love,
Falling, falling in love...

It's A Good Day

It's A Good Day
music by Dave Barbour
lyric by Peggy Lee

Yes, it's a good day for singing a song,

And it's a good day for moving along;

Yes, it's a good day,

How could anything go wrong?

A good day from morning till night.

Yes, it's a good day for shining your shoes,

And it's a good day for losing the blues;

Everything to gain and nothing to lose,

'Cause it's a good day from morning till night.

I said to the sun, "Good morning sun, rise and shine today.

You know you've gotta get going if you're gonna make a showing,

And you know you've got the right of way."

'Cause it's a good day for paying your bills;

And it's a good day for curing your ills,

So take a deep breath and throw away your pills;

'Cause it's a good day from morning till night.

It's A Blue World

It's A Blue World
music and lyric by George Forrest
and Robert Craig Wright

It's a blue world without you, it's a blue world alone.
My days and nights that once were filled with heaven,
With you away, how empty they have grown.

It's a blue world from now on, it's a through world for me.
The sea, the sky, my heart and I are all an indigo hue,
Without you, it's a blue, blue world...

It Worries Me

It Worries Me
music by Reichel Fritz Schulz & Ernst Verch
lyric by Carl Sigman (left)

It worries me; you seem to be unhappy and that worries me.
I hate to think that maybe I have made you blue.
Just what did I do?
Was I mean to you?
I wish I knew.

I worry so; if anything is wrong I have the right to know.
So while I hold you close and kiss you tenderly,
Tell it all to me;
Darling can't you see,
Anything that worries you, worries me...

It Will Have To Do

It Will Have To Do
music & lyric by Mann Holiner (second from left), Alberta Nichols,
Saul Chaplin (upper right), Sammy Cahn (top center) & L.E. Freeman

I'd work for you, I'd slave for you, I'd be a beggar or a knave for you;
And if that isn't love it will have to do until the real thing comes along.
I'd gladly move the earth for you, to prove my love, dear, and it's worth to you.
If that isn't love, it will have to do until the real thing comes along.

With all the words, dear, at my command I just can't make you understand,
I'll always love you, darling, come what may,
My heart is yours, what more can I say?

I'd lie for you, I'd cry for you;
I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you.
If tht isn't love, it will have to do until the real thing comes along.

It Was Written In The Stars

It Was Written In The Stars
music by Harold Arlen (top)
lyric by Leo Robin

It was written in the stars, what was written in the stars shall be!
It was written in the stars that the heart and not the eyes shall see.
And so, whether it bring joy, whether it bring woe, it shall be done!
Now suddenly I know you are the one.

Here, as in a daydream, by my side you stand;
Here with my tomorrows in your hand.

It was written high above that I have to have your love or I'll never be free.
And cloudy though the day be, crazy though I may be,
What the stars foretold shall be.

It Was A Very Good Year

It Was A Very Good Year
music & lyric by Ervin Drake

When I was seventeen, it was a very good year.
It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights.
We'd hide from the lights on the village green, when I was seventeen.

When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year.
It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair,
With all that perfumed hair, and it came undone, when I was twenty-one.

When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year.
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls of independent means.
We'd ride in limousines; their chauffeurs would drive, when I was thirty-five.

But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of the year,
And now I think of my life as vintage wine from fine old kegs,
From the brim to the dregs, it poured sweet and clear,
It was a very good year...

It Started All Over Again

It Started All Over Again
music & lyric by Carl Fischer & Bill Carey

It started all over again, the moment I looked in your eyes.
It started all over again, the thrill we can never disguise.
The day that we parted so broken hearted, will never return again.
Dreams I delayed, promises made, are starting anew...just for you.

It started all over again, the moment I held you so tight.
It started all over again, when we kissed away the night, till dawn's early light.
Now we're together, sweethearts forever, we'll build our romance anew.
It started all over again, the moment I looked at you...

It Only Happens When I Dance With You

It Only Happens When I Dance With You
music and lyric by Irving Berlin

It only happens when I dance with you---
That trip to heaven till the dance is through.
With no one else do the heavens seem quite so near;
Why does it happen, dear, only with you?

Two cheeks together can be so divine,
But only when those cheeks are yours and mine.
I've danced with dozens of others the whole night through,
But the thrill that comes with spring when anything could happen,
That only happens with you...

(earlier version)

It only happens when I dance with you---
What's more, it lingers when the dance is through.
I mean the scenic railway ride that gives you butterflies inside---
That only happens when I'm dancing with you.
Those moments when your cheek is pressed to mine,
I feel like someone who'd had too much wine.
I've danced with other girls who were attractive too,
But the thrill that comes with spring when anything can happen,
That only happens with you...
