This song goes all to all the old and sentimental coots out there that still believe in the standards.
As odd as it is would seem that I would upload a Michael Buble song when talking about the standards but I will have to say, he’s probably the closest modern ‘old school‘ crooner I can think of, other than Harry Connick Jr. of course.
Dedicated to all the lost loves and old school romantics out there, enjoy this wonderful rendition of “That’s All” by Michael Buble.
That’s All by Michael Buble
I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That’s all,
That’s all…
I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter’s night
That’s all,
That’s all.
There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love time can never destroy.
If you’re wondering what I’m asking in return, dear,
You’ll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it’s me that you’ll adore,
For now and evermore
That’s all,
That’s all.
Hmmm, one more for the road!
These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You) by Michael Buble
A cigarette that bears a lipsticks’ traces
An airline ticket to romantic places
And still my heart has wings
These foolish things remind me of you
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
Those stumbling words that told you what my heart meant
A fairgrounds’ painted swing
These foolish things remind me of you
I know that this was bound to be
These things have haunted me
For you, my dear, enchanted me
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer
A telephone that ring, but whose to answer?
Oh, how the ghost of you clings
These foolish things remind me of you
The smile of Garbo
And the scent of roses
The waiters’ whistlin’ as the last bar closes
The song that Ella sings
These foolish things remind me of you
Babe, these things remind me of you
Ok, ok. Maybe just one more.
Anyone to Love by Michael Buble
Another night, another drink
Another time to contemplate and think
Will I ever, ever have anyone to love
It’s not that I don’t try
Maybe I try too hard
Seems like I’m living a lie
So there’s a game I just won’t learn
And I wonder will I always be alone
I take a sip and wonder
Why I haven’t anyone to love
I guess I’ll say goodnight
My drink’s done and it’s morning light
Sorry my friend but you see
What other ending could there be
And I wonder will I always be alone?
I take a drink and wonder
Will I ever have anyone to love?
I do seem like a Michael Buble fanboy, now do I?
