Dolores Lyrics

How I love the kisses of Dolores
(Oh I love her aye-aye-aye) Dolores
Not Marie or Emily or Doris
(None of them but) only my Dolores (just Dolores)

From a balcony above me
She whispers, "Love me" and throws a rose
Ah but she is twice as lovely
As the rose she throws

I would die to be with my Dolores
(To be near her aye-aye-aye) Dolores
I was made to serenade Dolores
(Serenade her chorus after chorus)

Just imagine eyes like moon rise
A voice like music, lips like wine
What a break if I could make Dolores
Mine all mine

Imagination - Frank Sinatra

Imagination
Music written by: Jimmy Van Heusen
Lyrics written by: Johnny Burke

 

Imagination Lyrics

Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
Makes a bee think of honey
Just as I think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
What to do, what to do

Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, and then and then
Find it's only your imagination again

Oh well, imagination is silly
You go around willy nilly
For example I go around wanting you
And yet I can't imagine that you want me too

New San Antonio Rose - Bing Crosby

New San Antonio Rose
Lyrics written by: Bob Wills
Original music written by: Bob Wills
Adapted from: San Antonio Rose [instrumental] written by Bob Wills - San Antonio Rose with lyrics goes here
Comments: San Antonio Rose was a successful instrumental song recorded by Wills in 1938. In 1940 he added lyrics and christened the new version "New San Antonio Rose", with vocals by Tommy Duncan. Often the lyrical version is just titled "San Antonio Rose" or "Rose of San Antone".
Note: All instrumental versions should be assigned to the "San Antonio Rose" work, never the "New San Antonio" work.

 

New San Antonio Rose Lyrics

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone

It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue, up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love

Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own

Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

Yodelin Jive - Bing Crosby

Yodelin' Jive
Music written by: Hughie Prince
Lyrics written by: Don Raye

 

Yodelin' Jive Lyrics

Since Jackson went over to Switzerland
The Alps haven't been the same
Since he started practicing yodelin'
He's on the road to fame
And back in the states, he really rates
As big as anyone could
And the headlines say
You know, the papers each day
"Yodel Boy Makes Good"

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
He sings his yodelin' jive, Yo-ho-ho-hodelin'jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his yodelin' jive

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his jive, yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his jive all day

Sometimes he yodels so sweetly
To imitate the Swiss
Ohh leee o lay-dee
But the echo comes back like this

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The hills are always alive with yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his yodelin' jive

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
They sing my yodelin' jive, the yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
They sing my yodelin' jive all day

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de HOT-toy-toy-toy
The mountains echo my jive, my yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de HOT-toy-toy-toy
The mountains echo my jive each day

Sometimes he yodels so, so sweetly
To imitate the Swiss
Ohh leee o lay-hee
But the echo comes back like this

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The hills are always alive with yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo my yodelin' jive

Sometimes he yodels so sweetly
To imitate the Swiss
Ohh leee o lay-hee
But the echo comes back like this

Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The hills are always alive with yodelin' jive
Yo-ho-ho ho-d'lay-de ho-d'lay-de lay-dee
The mountains echo his yodelin' jive

Trade Winds - Bing Crosby

Trade Winds
Written by: Charles Tobias, Cliff Friend

 

Trade Winds Lyrics

Down where the trade winds play
Down where you lose the day
We found a new world where paradise starts
We traded hearts way down where the trade winds play

Music was everywhere
Flowers were in her hair
Under an awning of silvery boughs
We traded vows the night that I sailed away

Oh, trade winds, what are vows that lovers make?
Oh, trade winds, are they only made to break?
When it is May again, I'll sail away again
Though I'm returning, it won't be the same
She traded her name way down where the trade winds play

Blow trade winds, blow away

Written by: Joseph B. Carey

 

Sierra Sue Lyrics

Sierra Sue, I'm sad and lonely
The rocks and rills are lonely too

Calling for you, Sierra Sue

Singing Hills - Bing Crosby

Singing Hills
Written by: Dick Sanford, Mack David, Sammy Mysels

 

Singing Hills Lyrics

The singing hills
Are singing tonight
And echoing a song of long ago
The singing hills
Were singing that night
That logvely night you said, "I love you so"

The wind in the valley
Joined in our sweet refrain
But now the wind and I
Each night we cry "Come back again"

Though you are gone
The song lingers on
Still echoing among the singing hills

Maybe
Written by: Allan Flynn, Frank Madden

 

Maybe Lyrics

Maybe you'll think of me
When you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting
For you will prove untrue
Then what will you do?

Maybe you'll sit and sigh
Wishing that I were near
Then maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say "maybe"

I’ll Never Slip Around – Margaret Whiting

I'll Never Slip Around Again
Written by: Floyd Tillman

I'll Never Slip Around Again Lyrics

I'll never slip around again
I've learned a lot somehow
The one I slipped around with then
Is married to me now

I know just how it feels to live
In lonely misery
The one I slipped around with then
Was slipping round on me

I guess I had it coming
There's nothing I can do
I didn't mean to do it
When I fell in love with you

I had to learn the hard way
That slipping round don't pay
And I'll never slip around again
Til my dying days

I’m Bitin’ My Fingernails – Ernest Tubb

I'm Biting My Fingernails and Thinking of You
Written by: Ernie Benedict, Lenny Sanders, Roy West, Ernest Tubb

I’m Bitin’ My Fingernails Lyrics

You really got me worried now I must confess it's true
I sit around twiddlin' my thumbs breaking my heart in two
I'm wondering if you love me so the way you say you do
I'm bitin' my fingernails and thinking dear of you

Bitin' my fingernails thinking of you
Don't love nobody else it's funny but it's true
Just got a feeling maybe we're through
I'm Bitin' my fingernails and thinking dear of you

If you think before you speak how happy I would be
You’d never hurt me deep inside You’d think the world of me
Instead you’d say what ever you please we’re not its true
I'm bitin' my fingernails and thinking dear of you

Bitin' My Fingernails, thinkin’ of You
Don’t love nobody else It’s funny but It’s true
Just got a feeling maybe we’re though
Bitin' my fingernails and thinking dear of You

Bitin' My Fingernails, thinkin’ of You
Don’t love nobody else It’s funny but It’s true
Just got a feeling maybe we’re though
Bitin' my fingernails and thinking dear of You

If you have plans to end it all I wish you’d tell me now
Don’t leave me thinking that someday that you’d leave me anyhow
For I’ll forget we ever met and find somebody new
I'm bitin' my fingernails, thinkin’ of you

Bitin' my fingernails, thinkin’ of you
Don’t love nobody else It’s funny but It’s true
Just got a feeling maybe we’re though
Bitin' my fingernails and thinking dear of you

There’s Not a Thing – Eddy Arnold

There’s Not a Thing

There’s Not a Thing Lyrics

I take a trip to the Moon
In an old rockin' ship
If I could be rewarded with
A kiss from your sweet lips

'Cause there's not a thing
I wouldn't do for you
There's not a single little thing
In this world I wouldn't do for you

I'd pick a lotta cotton
Work my fingers to the bone
If you would only promise
To be just mine alone

I'd even go to India
Picking some old tune
If you would be my baby
'Neath the old India moon

I may not mean so much
To anybody else
But for you my baby
I'll kep my love on the shelf

I'd take a pick and shovel
And if the need should be
I'd dig my way to China
If you'd dig away with me

There’s Not a Thing Singers

Eddy Arnold, The Tennessee Plowboy and His Guitar (billboard hit) 1949

The Echo of Your Footsteps – Eddy Arnold

The Echo of Your Footsteps
Written by: Jenny Lou Carson

The Echo of Your Footsteps Lyrics

The day that you told me
You wanted to be free
I agreed with everything you had to say
But I confess I lied
And darlin' how I cried
When the echo of your footsteps died away

I thought our castle had a firm foundation
But all along was only made of clay
With aching heart I found, it tumbled to the ground
When the echo of your footsteps died away

If I had only known
I'd feel so all alone
I'd have begged down on my knees for you to stay
The gates to paradise
Swung closed before my eyes
When the echo of your footsteps died away

No matter where you are I wish you well dear
And I ask God to bless you every day
For I cannot deny, I bid my heart goodbye
When the echo of your footsteps died away

The Echo of Your Footsteps Singers

Eddy Arnold, The Tennessee Plowboy and His Guitar (billboard hit) May 1949 (First recording on December 20, 1948)
