The night is new
The faces are friendly
So have a few
And let me play
Some new songs, some blue songs
The mood is always right
Every night at the Paradise CafЁ¦

The world outside
May make its own madness
But here we hide
The world away
No headlines, no deadlines
We'll make them disappear
While you're here at the Paradise CafЁ¦

The room is kinda smokey
The phone ain't workin'
The same old broken keys don't play
But no one seems to mind it
'cause someone's buyin'
And we'll all get through one more day

Just me and you Around the piano
Not much to do But dream away
So stay on I'll play on
I'm all yours for a song
All night long at the Paradise CafЁ¦

Forget the one who loved you
Then lied and left you
Forget the love you almost had
But if you must remember
The way it left you
We'll make it feel good to feel bad

Just me and you Around the piano...

. . .



Where have you gone
It's been so long
Winter's turned into spring
And you're still not with me
So far away sweet yesterday
Love came' round but couldn't stay

Where have you gone
Do you still care
Rainy April regrets
All this pain and sorrow
Let me find some other kind
Some sweet love that's right this time

Friends, dear hearts all around me
But deep in my soul I'm cold as stone
Once true love found me
Now I'm so alone

Where have you gone
Where are you now
It's so hard to forget
All those magic moments
I still sing our song
Still holding on to love
Where have you gone

. . .



Say no more
You know we've been here before
Quiet, sleep now
Baby, say no more

Say no more
Don't you tell me what's in store
I know you must go
Oh love, say no more

You know how much I love you
Just how much I care
Place no one above you
No one else is there
Try to live my own life
¡®cause I know your game
still it's been a long night
and the night drives me insane

Say no more
Come inside and close the door
Hold me, close now
But please say no more

. . .


(with Sarah Vaughan)

When nights are long I think of you
Could you be blue as blue as I am

When lovers pass do you feel blue
And wish you knew where went wrong

I'd like to call but I'm afraid to find
That I'm not on your mind all night long

When sundays come what gets you through
Are you still glad you're free
or are you blue like me

When nights are long (it seems so long, so very long)
I think of you (my heart is aching, and I'm oh so blue)
Could you be blue (as blue as those eyes of yours)
As blue as I am (my sweet, sweet baby)
When lovers pass (and now that spring is here)
Do you feel blue (what'll I do)
And wish you knew (without you)
Where we went wrong (without you to walk with and talk with)
I'd like to call (I'm starin at the phone)
But I'm afraid I'll find (with the radio for company)
That I'm not on your mind (you'd never guess)
All night long (the song they're playin')
When sundays come (sometimes I wonder)
What gets you through (what gets me through)

Are you still glad you're free
Or are you blue like me Blue like me

. . .



And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs
I watch the planes go by

The children running home
Beneath a twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them

And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years

I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go

I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see October go

. . .



What am I doin' here
Alone in this lonely house
This house that we dreamed about
This house we shared till you walked out

What am I doin' here
This place ain't no good for me
It just brings back memories
And the last things I need is memories

I should be movin' on
Wath am I doin' here
Now that you've really gone
Why can't I dry these tears
But oh, the years we had
Here is this house that we both loved so madly

I've never been like this
Just livin' in yesterdays
But there´s so much I miss
And so much that I still can't face

If there´s a chance for me
I just can´t see it now
All I see is what can´t be
And all I see is no way out

. . .



You look away from me again
There's really nothing to explain
Feel it in your kiss
I guess this is good-bye my love

The way I feel don't have a name
The days and nights so filled with pain
Thought that I would stay
But I gotta say good-bye my love

You used to laugh and say
If you play, play for gold
I didn't know that I would lose my heart
And soul, I didn't know

I won't regret the time we had
I'll think of you and I'll be glad
But this is the end
One last kiss and then good-bye my love

. . .


(with Mel Torme)

Mel:
Much of my life has been spiced with romance
Barry:
Too many bedrooms I've slept in by chance
Mel:
Drownin' out my sorrow
Barry:
Longin' for tomorrow
Both:
Caught up in the big city blues

Barry:
Rain pourin' down from a cold winter sky
Mel:
Don't wanna smile and I'm too sad to cry
Barry:
Clouds hangin' above me
Mel:
No one there to love me
Both:
guess it's just the big city blues

Barry/Mel:
Someday I'll find me the dream that I'm after
I'll know her with only a glance
Mel/Barry:
She'll make me smile
and she'll fill me with laughter
and our love will be like a dance

Both:
Skies will be clear and the sweet sun will shine
I'll hold her near and I'll know that she´s mine
No more stormy weather
Love will last forever
Good-bye to the big city blues

. . .



When love is gone
What good is candlelight
Each lonely day
Becomes a sleepless night
No one is there to share the rising dawn
And so it fades away when love is gone

When love is gone
Life's just a hollow shell
The stars don't shine
The moon has lost its spell
That old familiar ache
that makes the night so long
just seems to linger on when love is gone

When love is gone
There's just the memories
An empty heart where love once used to be
Those lonely blues refuse to let you carry on
It's just that way each day when love is gone

. . .



We'll I've never been so low on love
And I know I never hurt so bad
I never tried so hard
Just to see it fall apart
Just to lose the sweetest love I ever had

We'll I've never been so low on love
And I know I'll never be the same
I know you meant to stay
So if I drove you away
Oh I know that I'm the only one to blame

They say that every day
should make me stranger
and one day I won't think of you at all
but every day you're gone the days get longer
and all I do is wait for you to call

We'll I've never been so low on love
And I know that as the years go by
I'll still be lovin' you
When I'm holdin' someone new
And when I think about the tears
you made me cry
I know you never really cared enough
And I've never been so low on love

. . .



Listen
The city is singin' its night song
A city of shadows and fading starlight
Mixed with bar light

Listen
The empty streets echo the night song
A melody I used to think was only for the lonely

Night song I hear you
Now as the night disappears
But this time your blues
Is music to my ears

The rumble of a train
The rustle of the wind
The rhythm of the footsteps
The blarin' of a horn
The murmur of a voice
The echo of a siren
Night song!

You used to find me cryin' in my beer
Now you remind me tomorrow she'll be here
She'll be here!
Oh, night song

You sing of a train from New Orleans
And deep in the music I hear her hummin'
Now she's comin' home!

The city is singin' its night song
listen
