Chasing Shadows
|
The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra
|
by Benny Davis (w) and Abner Silver (m) (1935)
|
|
Life without a romance is a life that's sad
|
I've never had a love of my own
|
Every day is just another day to me
|
Why must I be alone
|
|
Chasing shadows
|
Chasing love dreams in vain
|
While my heart keeps on singing
|
Just a lonely refrain
|
|
Chasing shadows
|
All is cloudy above
|
Like a shadow I'm drifting,
|
Hoping I'll find my love, find my love
|
|
Who knows some day someone may come along
|
And change my lonely song to happiness
|
Unitl the darkness fades into the dawn
|
I'll just go on, I guess
|
|
Chasing shadows,
|
Just a dreamer am I
|
Charade
|
|
Artist: Andy Williams (peak Billboard position # 100 in 1964)
|
Words by Johnny Mercer and Music by Henry Mancini
|
from the 1963 film "Charade" starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn
|
|
When we played our charade
|
We were like children posing
|
Playing at games, acting out names
|
Guessing the parts we played
|
|
Oh what a hit we made
|
We came on next to closing
|
Best on the bill, lovers until
|
Love left the masquerade
|
|
Fate seemed to pull the strings
|
I turned and you were gone
|
While from the darkened wings
|
The music box played on
|
|
Sad little serenade
|
Song of my heart's composing
|
I hear it still, I always will
|
Best on the bill
|
Charade
