Standard Jazz Swing Manouche I

Say it is only a paper moon Sailing over a cardboard sea, But it wouldn't be make believe

Why do I do, just as you say Why must I just, give you your way Why do I sigh, why don't I try - to forget

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing (doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah, doo-ah) It don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing

Standard jazz manouche

Insensiblement vous vous êtes glissée dans ma vie Insensiblement vous vous êtes logée dans mon cœur Vous étiez d'abord comme une amie

Ainsi va la vie d’ici, la vie est là d’ici bas Elle débat et batt’rie les premiers pas dansés al ban des écoliers Balancés dans l’air sans en avoir d’air, saoulés dans le temps

I have always been a wand'rer Over land and sea Yet a moonbeam on the water Casts a spell o'er me

In a sentimental mood I can see the stars come through my room While your loving attitude

Standard jazz swing manouche

I could wile away the hours Conferrin' with the flowers Consultin' with the rain

I could show the world how to smile I could be glad - all of the while I could change the gray skies to blue

The snow is snowing and the wind it is blowing But I can weather the storm What do I care how much it may storm

Everybody look at me, Happy girlie, you will see, I've got someone nice, oh, gee!

I'll see you in my dreams And then I'll hold you in my dreams Someone took you right out of my arms

This lovely day will lengthen into evening We'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had Alone where we have walked together

I'll never be the same Guys have lost their meaning for me I'll never be the same

I wonder where my baby is tonight I wonder how my baby is tonight I wonder where she's gone and how she's getting on

I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance Madame with you

Mais je ne pourrai jamais vivre sans toi je ne pourrai pas ne pars pas, j'en mourrai Je te cacherai et je te garderai

I wanna be loved by you, just you And nobody else but you I wanna be loved by you alone

We've played the game of 'stay away' But it costs more than I can pay Without you I can't make my way

I saw stars I heard a birdie sing So sweet, so sweet

Was it in tahiti? Were we on the nile? Long, long ago,

I'm in the mood for love Simply because you're near me. Funny, but when you're near me

I can't give you anything but love... Baby That's the only thing there's plenty of... Baby Dream a while... Scheme a while

I've flown around the world in a plane I've settled revolutions in Spain And the North Pole I have charted

Your eyes so blue Your kisses too I never knew what they could do
