A Million Miles
A million miles my heart can see
Into your eyes and know were done
A million miles apart are we
And yet were standing here as one
A million ways I hoped we'd spend our love
As only souls united do
Now here we are about to end our love
And I would walk a million miles to get back home to you.
Remember how you so beguiled me when
You said that love was not to fear?
Well now I wish I were a child again
And I could run away from here
A million times I hoped I'd never know
The day my heart would break in two
I wonder if, my love, you'll ever know
That I would walk a million miles if I could be with you.
Improvisation
We never thought the flame would flicker out
But love was harder than we knew
Goodbye my love and don't you ever doubt
That I would walk a million miles
Try a million trials
Walk a hundred million miles for you.
Uptown Jazz Vocal Quartet: Ginny Carr - alto, Holly Shockey- soprano, Robert McBride- tenor, Andre Enceneat, bass

After You've Gone
Now won't you listen honey, while I say
How could you tell me that you're going away
Don't say that we must part
Don't break your baby's heart
You know I've loved you for these many years
Loved you night and day
Oh honey baby can you see my dear
Listen while I say
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone there's no denying
You'll feel blue you'll feel bad
You'll miss the only pal you ever had
There'll come a time, well don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Oh babe, think what you're doin'
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away away
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue you'll feel sad
You'll miss the only pal you've ever had
There'll come a time now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Oh babe think what you're doin'
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away
How could you tell me that you're going away
Don't say that we must part
Don't break your baby's heart
You know I've loved you for these many years
Loved you night and day
Oh honey baby can you see my dear
Listen while I say
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone there's no denying
You'll feel blue you'll feel bad
You'll miss the only pal you ever had
There'll come a time, well don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Oh babe, think what you're doin'
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away away
After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue you'll feel sad
You'll miss the only pal you've ever had
There'll come a time now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Oh babe think what you're doin'
You know my love for you will drive me to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away

All Too Soon
All too soon
We had to part
The moment you had touched my heart
And with you went my dream
All too soon
All too sweet
Was our affair
And you put all the sweetness there
What a shame that it's gone
All too soon
I knew the strange delights
That only you in love could bring
But as I reached the heights
The bottom fell from everything
You should know as well as I
Our love deserves another try
For you whispered goodbye
All too soon
All too soon

Vocal: Ella Fitzgerald with Joe Pass on guitar
American Anthem
All we've been given by those who came before
The dream of a nation where freedom would endure
The work and prayers of centuries have brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy? What will our children say?
Let them say of me I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings I received
Let me know in my heart when my days are through
America (America) I gave my best to you
Each generation from the plains to distant shore
With the gifts they were given were determined to leave more
Battles fought together, acts of conscience fought alone
These are the seeds from which America has grown
Let them say of me I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings that I received
Let me know in my heart when my days are through
America (America) I gave my best to you
For those who think they have nothing to share
Who fear in their hearts there is no hero there
Know each quiet act of dignity is that which fortifies
The soul of a nation that will never die
Let them say of me I was one who believed
In sharing the blessings I received
Let me know in my heart when my days are through
America (America) I gave my best to you
America (America) I gave my best to you

At Last
At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over and life is like a song
At last, the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped in clover the night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I've never known
You smiled and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last
At last, my love has come along
My lonely days are over and life is like a song
At last, the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped in clover the night I looked at you
I found a dream that I can speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I've never known
You smiled and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last
Songwriters: Harry Warren, Mack Gordon
After The Fact
There is a room that you just now walked out of
It has everything in it but you
There's a mirror that knew what you looked like
And a door that has ruined the view
There's a carpet depressed by your footsteps
A hallway which echoes their sound
There's an arrow that points to the exit
And a lift that goes no further down, no further down
There's a stage play that shows every evening
With no prompter, no plot and no lines
The actors don't know what they're doing
They improvise all of their lives
And the action's all happening offstage
Where the props meet the actual things
Someone saw you with a gun in your hand
I heard the report from the wings
You say you're leaving
When I know that you're gone
After the fact, you'll be back
But long after the song
If ever I try to run after
The ceiling reveals the sky
The carpet is pulled out from under
The walls disappear in the flies
Behind them, the lenses of cameras
They all want a piece of us now
The story behind the unmaking
The what and the why and the how
Excuse if I choose not to bow
You say you're leaving
When I know that you're gone
After the fact, you'll be back
But long after the song is gone
After the fact, you'll be gone
But long after the song
Songwriter: John Wesley Harding
American Tune
Many's the time I'v been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
But I'm all right. I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home
And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees
But it's all right, it's all right
We've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road
we're traveling on
I wonder what went wrong
I can't help it. I wonder what went wrong
And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above, my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hours
And sing an American tune
But it's all right. It's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all. I'm trying to get some rest
Songwriter: Paul Simon
Baubles, Bangles And Beads
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, bright shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, my heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles and beads
I'll just glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so that
Maybe he may buy me a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
[instrumental]
Baubles, bangles, hear how they jing, jinga-linga
Baubles, bangles, all those bright, shiny beads
Sparkles, spangles, my heart will sing, singa-linga
Wearin' baubles, bangles, and beads
I'll just glitter and gleam so
Make somebody dream so that
Maybe he may buy me a ring, ringa-linga
I've heard that's where it leads
Wearin' baubles and bangles, sparkles, bangles
Just give me those bangles
I've gotta have sparkles, bangles and beads
Songwriters:
Robert Wright, George Forrest
Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by Kirk Stuart (piano), Charles "Buster" Williams (bass), and Georges Hughes (drums). Recorded in Sweden, 1964.
Jazz musicians are especially drawn to the song's beguiling melody and advanced harmonic structure. The familiar AABA+ Coda structure of the song is energized by a key change up a major third interval for every section; the transition is marked by a bracing harmonic progression from the central major key of one section to the tritone minor key of the following section. Jazz players have enjoyed the musical challenges of this song for decades.
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy I awake
With no Bromo Seltzer handy
I don't even shake
Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well, I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again
Beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Couldn't sleep
And wouldn't sleep
Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart but what of it?
My mistake I agree
he's a laugh, but I like it
because the laugh's on me
A pill he is
But still he is
All mine and I'll keep him until he is
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered
Like me
Seen a lot
I mean I lot
But now I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
I'll sing to him
Each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
When he talks he is seeking
Words to get off his chest
Horizontally speaking
He's at his very best
Vexed again
Perplexed again
Thank God I can't be over-sexed again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
(Reprise at the end of the show)
Wise at last
My eyes at last
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more
Burned a lot
But learned a lot
And now you are broke, though you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more
Couldn't eat
Was dyspeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my heart's antiseptic
Since you moved out of there
Romance-Finis
Your chance-finis
Those ants that invaded my pants-finis
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered no more

Blame it On My Youth
If I expected love when first we kissed
Blame it on my youth
If only just for you I did exist
Blame it on my youth
I believed in everything
Like a child at three
You meant more than everything
All the world to me
If you were on my mind all night and day
Blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray
Blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit
When first I learned the truth
Don't blame it on my heart
Blame it on my-why youth
If you were on my mind all night and day
Blame it on my youth
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray
Blame it on my youth
If I cried a little bit
When first I learned the truth
Don't blame it on my heart
Blame it on my youth

Canadian Sunset
Once, I was alone
So lonely and then
You came out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills
Cold, cold as the wind
Warm, warm were your lips
Out there, on the ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills
A weekend in Canada a change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I found a love that I couldn't ignore
Down, down came the sun
Fast, fast beat my heart
I knew, as the sun set, from that day
We'd never part
Down, down, down, down came the sun
Fast, fast, fast, fast beat my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part
Down, down, down, down came the sun
Fast, fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
I knew as the sun set from that day
We'd never part, we'd never part, we'd never part

Caroline, No
Where did your long hair go
Where is the girl I used to know
How could you lose that happy glow
Oh, Caroline no
Who took that look away
I remember how you used to say
You'd never change, but that's not true
Oh, Caroline you
Break my heart
I want to go and cry
It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die
Oh, Caroline why
Could I ever find in you again
The things that made me love you so much then
Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone
Oh, Caroline no

Canto de Orfeo
Quero viver, quero sambar
Até sentir a essência da vida me faltar
Quero sambar, quero viver
Depois do samba tá bom, meu amor, posso morrer
Quero viver, quero sambar
Até sentir a essência da vida me faltar
Quero sambar, quero viver
Depois do samba tá bom, meu amor, posso morrer
Quem quiser gostar de mim
Se quiser vai ser assim
Vamos viver, vamos sambar
Se a fantasia rasgar, meu amor, eu compro outra
Vamos sambar, vamos viver
O samba é livre, eu sou livre também até morrer
[Solo]
Quem quiser gostar de mim
Se quiser vai ser assim
Vamos viver, vamos sambar
Se a fantasia rasgar, meu amor, eu compro outra
Vamos sambar, vamos viver
O samba é livre, eu sou livre também até morrer
O samba é livre, eu sou livre também até morrer
O samba é livre, eu sou livre também até morrer

Come Rain Or Come Shine
II'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain
And deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don' t ever bet me
Cause I'm gonna be true
If you let me
You're gonna love me
Like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
Happy together, unhappy together
And won't it be fine
Days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in, or we're out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine
I'm gonna love you
Like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine

Deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things

Crazy
Crazy
I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
Crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day
You'd leave me for somebody new
Worry
Why do I let myself worry?
Wondering
What in the world did I do?
Oh, crazy
For thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying
And crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Songwriter: Willie Nelson
Cry me A River
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
You told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say, you say you love me
Well just to prove that you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you
You drove me nearly out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember, I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now, now you say you love me
Well just to prove you do
Come on and cry, cry, cry me a river, cry me a river
'Cause I cried a river over you
If my pillow could talk, imagine what it would have said
Could it be a river of tears I cried in bed
So you can cry me a river
Daddy, go ahead and cry that river
'Cause I cried, how I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
