I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy crazy for feeling so blue
I knew that you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry
Wondering what in the world did I do
I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma is good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singing
Yes you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the skies
But till that morning
There's nothin' can harm you, yes
With daddy and mammy standin' by
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' (Oh yeah)
And the cotton is high
Oh your daddy's rich (Daddy's rich)
And your ma is good lookin' (Your ma is good lookin')
So hush little baby
Baby don't you cry (Oh don't you cry)
Oh don't you cry (Don't you)
Oh don't you cry (Don't)
Oh don't you cry

I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
Don't know why I didn't come
Don't know why I didn't come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching tear-drops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind forever
Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
Don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no
It's just the nearness of you
It isn't your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no
It's just the nearness of you
When you're in my arms
And I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams
Came true
I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you would only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis

Willow weep for me, willow weep for me
Bend your branches down along the ground
And cover me listen to my plea
Hear me willow and weep for me
Gone my lovely dreams, lovely summer dreams
Gone and left me here to weep my tears along the stream
Sad as I can be, hear me willow and weep for me
Bridge: Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a sighin’ and cryin’ alone
Murmur to the night, hide its starry light
So none will find me sighin’ cryin’ all alone
Weeping willow tree, weep in sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me
Listen to my plea, hear me willow and weep for me
Willow, willow, weep for me

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride
That's all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on
Walk on by
Walk on by
Foolish pride
That's all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
Walk on by (don't stop)
Now you really gotta go, so walk on by (don't, don't stop)
Baby, leave, you'll never see the tears I cry (don't, don't stop)
Now you really gotta go, so walk on by (don't, don't stop)
Mmm, baby, leave, you'll never see the tears I cry (don't, don't stop)
Now you really gotta go, so walk on by (don't, don't)

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

Well I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
You dream awhile and you scheme awhile
You're sure to find happiness
And i guess all the things you think are fine
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth won't sell to you, baby
Til the lucky day you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything but love
Gee I'd like to see you looking swell, (love you) baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth ain't gonna sell to you, baby
Til the lucky day you know darn well, baby
Well I can't give you anything but love
Love
(Love love love you baby)Love
(Love love love you baby)
