Ed Fuqua said:
Well, not by Herb Ellis, but yeah. So what's da woids?

Ok I suck... I had to look it up cuz I forgot how it went.

Words & Music by Edward Heyman & Oscar Levant (I don't know why I remember Herb Ellis)
======

If I expected love when first we kissed, BIOMY
If only just for you did I exist, BIOMY
I believed in everything, like a child of three.
You meant more than anything, all the world to me.
If you were on my mind both night and day, BIOMY
If I forgot to eat and sleep and pray, BIOMY
And if I cried a little bit when first I learned the truth,
Don't blame it on my heart, BIOMY

======

Ok, I'll throw one out there since I botched this one... this one's easy.

Parked under the stars"

I've only heard the Earl Coleman/Bird version (with vocals), but there is alledgedly a nice Chet Baker version. Neal Miner does this as a bass feature on THE REAL NEAL, which I once again encourage everybody to get.
Coincidentally, this tune is also on the Peter Bernstein + 3 record " Stranger In Paradise", which also contains Autumn Serenade, and which I encourage everybody to get. They bad, too.

It's interesting how certain tunes can become "popular" again after falling into obscurity.

I've got it on several things. My favorite is as a bonus cut on the Rahsaan Roland Kirk boxset. I think it is one of the tunes where he is backed by Elvin Jones, Jaki Byard, and Richard Davis.

Another good recording is on the Ray Brown Trio (somewhat of a compilation) cd Walk On.

Another really good one is on Sonny Stitt's "Sonny Stitt", a Chess release where even the band is not known, but Stitt is really blowing.

"I took a trip on a train
and I thought about you.
Walked down a shadowy lane,
and I thought about you.
Two or three cars,
parked under the stars,
A winding stream...


And it gets hazy from there...


TYBALD - Peter and Neal have worked together, so that may be the confluence of repertoire. Oh and Autumn Serenade or Autumn Nocturne?

Through the trees
Autumn plays her serenade
Melodies
the sweetest music ever made
Though the years come and go
I still feel the glow
That time will not fade.

and hazy again, damn this Jazzheimer's

Moon shining down on some
little town,
and with each beam
The same old dream

I meant Autumn Nocturne, but Autumn Serenade's another good one. I'll look for it.

For some reason, most of them Autumn tunes are perty good!

Harry James wrote these lyrics
Through the trees came autumn with her serenade
Melodies, the sweetest music ever played.
Autumn kisses we knew as beautiful souvenirs
As I pause to recall the leaves seem to fall like tears.
Silver stars were clinging to an autumn sky.
Love was ours until October wandered by.
Let the years come and go
I still feel the glow that time cannot fade
When I hear that lovely autumn serenade.

I'm doing a concert with Warren Vache (shameless bragging), I have him committed to playing Autumn Nocturne, and frankly, I can't wait. That tune gives me chills.
I can sing the melody to these words, but the title notes won't come to me yet...give me a little time?

And hdiddy...Willow Weep For Me!
A little time for these lyrics.....
