CAHN, Sammy

I've Heard That Song Before

It seems to me I've heard that song before

It's from an old familiar score

I know it well, that melody

It's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dream

A dream that brought you so close to me

I know each word because I've heard that song before

Forever more's a memory

Please have them play it again

And I'll remember just when

I heard that lovely song before


Come fly with me

Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama-land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry-eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may hear
Angels cheer, 'cause we're together

Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It is perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Once I get you up there
Where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide
Starry-eyed
Once I get you up there
I'll be holding you so near
You may hear
Angels cheer, 'cause we're together

Weather-wise, it's such a lovely day
You just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly
Pack up let's fly away

The Things We Did Last Summer

The boat rides we would take

The moonlight on the lake

The way we danced and hummed our favorite song

The things we did last summer

I'll remember all winter long

The midway and the fun

The kewpie doll we won

The bell I rang to prove that I was strong

The things we did last summer

I'll remember all winter long

The early morning hike

The rented tandem bike

The lunches that we used to pack

We never could explain that sudden summer rain

The looks we got when we got back

The leaves begin to fade like promises we made

How could a love that seemed so right go wrong

That things we did last summer

I'll remember all winter long

The early morning hike

…..

The leaves begin to fade like promises we made

How could a love that seemed so right go so wrong

That things that we did last summer

I'll remember all winter long

The Christmas Blues

The jingle bells are jingling

The streets are white with snow

The happy crowds are mingling

But there's no one that I know

I'm sure that you'll forgive me

If I don't enthuse

I guess I've got the Christmas blues

I've done my window shopping

There's not a store I've missed

But what's the use of stopping

When there's no one on your list

You'll know the way I'm feeling

When you love and you lose

I guess I've got the Christmas blues

When somebody wants you

Somebody needs you

Christmas is a joy of joy

But friends, when you're lonely

You'll find that it's only

A thing for little girls and little boys

May all your days be merry

Your seasons full of cheer

But 'til it's January

I'll just go and disappear

Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes

But Santa only brought me the blues

Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas blues

Oh Santa may have brought you some stars for your shoes

But Santa only brought me the blues

Those brightly packaged tinsel covered Christmas blues
