I'm old fashioned, that's how I want to be...













Ella Fitzgerald - I'm Old Fashioned

I am not such a clever one
About the latest fads
I admit I was never one
Adored by local lads

Not that I ever try to be a saint
I'm the type that they classify as quaint

I'm old fashioned
I love the moonlight
I love the old fashioned things

The sound of rain
Upon a window pane
The starry song that April sings

This year's fancies
Are passing fancies
But sighing sighs holding hands
These my heart understands

I know I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

I'm old fashioned
But I don't mind it
That's how I want to be
As long as you agree
To stay old fashioned with me

Oh won't you stay old fashioned with me
Oh please just stay old fashioned with me...

To my joy and delight, it's a new kind of love at first sight...











Ella Fitzgerald - With A Song In My Heart

Though I know that we meet ev'ry night
And we couldn't have changed since the last time,
To my joy and delight,
It's a new kind of love at first sight.
Though it's you and it's I all the time
Ev'ry meeting's a marvelous pastime.
You're increasingly sweet,
So whenever we happen to meet
I greet you...

With a song in my heart
I behold your adorable face.
Just a song at the start
But it soon is a hymn to your grace.
When the music swells
I'm touching your hand
It tells me you're standing near, and...

At the sound of your voice
Heaven opens its portals to me.
Can I help but rejoice
That a song such as ours came to be?
But I always knew
I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you.
