Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you
Speak my name
Softly, in my ear
You breathe a flame
Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Til loves own enchanting music dies
All of my future is in you
You're every plan I desire
Promise you’ll always continue
To be mine
Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender
To my heart
All of my future is in you
You're every plan I desire
Promise you’ll always continue
To be mine
Lover, please be tender
When your tender fears depart
Lover, I surrender
To my heart

I never feel a thing is real when I'm away from you
Out of your embrace, the world's a temporary parking place
Mmm, mm, mm, mm, a bubble for a minute
Mmm, mm, mm, mm, you smile, the bubble has a rainbow in it
Say, it's only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believe in me
Yes, it's only a canvas sky, hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believe in me
Without your love, it's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love, it's a melody played in a penny arcade
It's a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe, if you believe in me.

When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh, I hurry to my blue heaven.
A turn to the right a little white light will lead you to my blue heaven.
You'll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that's nestled where the roses bloom.
Just Mollie and me and baby makes three,
We're happy in my blue heaven.

I can be happy, I can be sad
Can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be lonely out in a crowd
I can an be humble or I can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money or spend it
Go right on livin' or end it
You're to blame, honey, for what I do
I know that I can be beggar or I can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you
I can be happy, I can be sad
Can be good or I can be bad
It all depends on you
I can be very lonely out in a crowd
I can an be humble or I can be proud
It all depends on you
I can save money or spend it
Go right on livin' or end it
You're to blame, baby, for what I do
I can be beggar, I can be king
I can be almost any old thing
It all depends on you

You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be
You have the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
Cause you do something to me
That nobody else could do
You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be
You got the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
Cause you do something to me
That nobody else can do
That no one else in the world can do

Should I reveal exactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
Should I recite beneath the pale moonlight?
And swear by the stars above you?
Could I repeat the sweetest story told?
Could I entreat, would it be too bold?
Should I reveal 'xactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
Could I repeat that sweetest story told?
Could I entreat, would it be too bold?
Should I reveal 'xactly how I feel?
Should I confess I love you?
And swear by stars above you?
Should I confess I love you?

Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It's something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra-new
It's very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance
You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, ooh, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and so sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with her and she's in love with you
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time
You'll find while you're dancin'
That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
The Continental!

When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughin', when you're laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through
But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that cryin', be happy again
Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're smilin', when you're smilin'
The whole world, it smiles with you
When you're laughin', oh babe, when you're laughin'
The sun would-a come shining through
But when you're cryin', you bring on the rain
So stop that sighin', come on and be happy again
Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin', baby
The whole world smiles with you
. . .
