Old Sweet Song

Please play that old song for me
The one about the lovers who meet beneath the tree
That little ditty about the city we love
I know you know it, man,
It’s the one that I’ve been dreaming of
Please play that old song for me
Oh, how I long to hear that stirring melody
Well, Play it nice and slow so we can all sing along
Oh, won’t you play that Old Sweet Song
Oh, won’t you play that Old Sweet Song
Please play that old song for me
That one that brings me back
to the way things used to be
It’s harder to remember with every passing year
But It would mean the world to me
If I could only hear...
You playin’ that old song for me
I may not be a rich man, but I have my memories
Well, play it nice and slow so we can all sing along
Oh, won’t you play (won't you play)
Oh, won’t you play (won't you play)
Oh, won’t you play (won't you play)
(etc.)
Oh, won’t you play That Old Sweet Song!

In A Dream

If you only knew the way
I thought of you night and day
Then I wouldn’t have to live In A Dream
Darling won’t you take a chance
And say ‘yes’ to this romance
So I wouldn’t have to live In A Dream?
If you can dream it, you can build it
At least that’s what they say
So don’t listen to those voices
Who tell you to look the other way
If our lips were to meet
Would it make me complete?
Or will I only get to live In A Dream?
So I’ll try, and I’ll cry
Until you see what I see
I’ll get down on my knees
I’m begging you please, baby what more do you need?
If I told you how I feel
Would it make me anymore real
Or will I only get to live,
will I only get to live,
Will I only get to live In A Dream?

Swing, Sinner, Swing
As the midnight Church bells ring
Swing, Sinner, Swing away
Play, Sinner, Play
Up and down the vieux carré
Play, Sinner, Play away
Those Creole babies, vagabonds and thieves
Ragtime bands and Libertines
Play out their fantasies upon the hallowed ground
Way down in New Orleans
So C’est La Vie, for all eternity
Swing, Sinner, Swing away.

Problème C'est Moi

It isn’t the starlight
It isn’t the song
It isn’t your smile, that makes it feel so wrong.
It isn’t the pleasure
Of your company
The problem’s not you, dear, the Problem Is Me.
I’ve had my romances
I’ve been through it all
My heart took some chances
And can’t afford another fall
It isn’t your fault, dear
I think you’d agree
The problem’s not you, dear, the Problem Is Me.
It isn’t the music
It isn’t your charm
It isn’t’ your eyes, dear, that give me alarm.
It isn’t your use of gay repartee
The problem’s not you, dear, the Problem Is Me.
I’ve had my romances
I’ve been through it all
My heart took some chances
And can’t afford another fall
So don’t blame yourself, dear
For why we can’t be,
The problem’s not you, dear, the Problem Is Me,
The problem’s not you, dear, the Problem Is Me.

I’m so glad you’re doing well,
what a year this has been
It seems like things are looking up.
I look forward to meeting up.
I just have one little quirk.
AndI'm hoping, we can make it work
For I don’t know what to call it,
and I don’t know when it comes
But I’ll do my best in spite of my mood....
When the Sun shines down on a clear blue sky
And the bells call the day to begin,
It’s hard to explain, but I only hear rain,
I Guess It’s Just The Mood I’m In
When friends drop in for a social call
And honestly ask how I’ve been
My smile barely hides what I’m feeling inside
I Guess It’s Just The Mood I’m In
But if you could please be patient with me
You will find this a bump in the road
Although I’m adrift, I just need a little lift
And I’ll soon be out of my blue
If I wander the streets on a lonely night,
Find a bar and decide to go in,
I’ll keep drinking more ‘til they show me the door,
I Guess It’s Just The Mood I’m In.
But if you could please be patient with me
You will find this a bump in the road
Although I’m adrift, I just need a little lift
And I’ll soon be out of my blue
When I look in your eyes, I suspect you’ll feel
That I’ll never find joy again.
But it’s nothing to do with my love for you
I Guess It’s Just The Mood I’m In.

This Year's Kisses
by Brooks Prumo Orchestra
supported by 6 fans who also own “Old Sweet Songs”
The laid-back groove of the Brooks Prumo Orchestra hits the sweet spot. This is fine swing without any try-hard hype. The studio mix is balanced, and it hops and slides like music should (unlike some other contemporary jazz). "Out of Nowhere" is outstanding: inspired arrangement, knockout playing, genuine emotion. The vocal numbers get better with every listen, and "Blue Lester" has about it a certain sunburn-on-your-skin mint julep nighttime ease.
