Too Close For Comfort Songwriter(s): Harris, Rob Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart Don't upset your cart when he's so close Be soft, be sweet but be discreet Don't go off your beat, he's so close for comfort Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again Too close, too close to know just when to say, "When?" Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation One thing leads to another, too late to run for cover He's much too close for comfort now Too close, too close for comfort, please, not again Too close, too close to know just when to say, "When?" So be firm and be fair, be sure, beware On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation One thing leads to another, too late to run for cover He's much too close for comfort now Too close, much too close She's much too close for comfort now

That Ol' Black Magic Songwriter(s): Harold Arlen That old black magic has me in it's spell That old black magic that you weave so well Those icy fingers up and down my spine The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine The same old tingle that I feel inside And then the elevator starts it's ride And down and down I go, and 'round 'and round I go Like a leaf caught in the tide I should stay away but what can I do I hear your name and I'm aflame Aflame with such a burning desire Only your kiss can put out the fire You are the lover I've waited for You're the mate, fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Darling, down and down I go, 'round and 'round I go In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in Under that black magic called love That old black magic has me in it's spell That old black magic that you weave so well Icy fingers up and down my spine The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine The same old tingle I feel inside And then the elevator starts it's ride And down and down I go, and 'round down and 'round I go Like a leaf caught in the tide I should stay away but what can I do I hear your name and I'm aflame I am a flame with such a burning desire Only your kiss can put out the fire You are the lover I've waited for You're the mate, fate had me created for And every time your lips meet mine Darling, down and down I go, 'round and 'round I go In a spin, loving the spin I'm in Oh, black magic called love In a spin, loving the spin I'm in Under that black magic called love In a spin, loving the spin I'm in That old black magic called love

Round Midnight Songwriter(s): WILLIAMS, COOTIE / HANIGHEN, BERNARD D. / MONK, THEOLONIOUS S. It begins to tell 'round midnight, midnight I do pretty well, till after sundown Supper time I'm feelin' sad But it really gets bad 'round midnight Memories always start 'round midnight Haven't got the heart to stand those memories When my heart is still with you And old midnight knows it too When a quarrel we had needs mending Does it mean that our love is ending Darlin', I need you, lately I find You're out of my heart and I'm out of my mind Let our hearts take wings 'round midnight, midnight Let the angels sing for your returning Till our love is safe and sound a And old midnight comes around Feelin' sad really gets bad 'Round, 'round, 'round midnight

Close Enough for Love Songwriter(s): MANDEL, JOHN / WILLIAMS, PAUL H. You and I, an unmatched pair Took the time to touch, to share Worlds apart the night we met We braved the odds and won the bet Not perfect yet but close enough for love How old fashioned, pure romance Shared a kiss and shared the dance Shared the body and bouquet We'll taste the wine another day When you and I are close enough for love Not just lovers, more than friends Who knows where one starts, one ends Tracing lives through sleepless nights That I'll remember always, always Long goodbyes and the tearful looks Hold up well in poems and books But you and I have life to hold The greatest story never told Not perfect yet but close enough for love Not just lovers, more than friends Who knows where one starts, one ends Tracing lives through sleepless nights That I'll remember always, always Long goodbyes and the tearful looks Hold up well in poems and books But you and I have life to hold The greatest story never told Not perfect yet but close enough for love Not perfect yet but close enough for love
5.
I'm a Fool to Want You Songwriter(s): SINATRA, FRANK/WOLF, JACK/HERRON, JOEL S. I'm a fool to want you I'm a fool to want you To want a love that can't be true A love that's there for others too I'm a fool to hold you Such a fool to hold you To seek a kiss not mine alone To share a kiss that Devil has known Time and time again I said I'd leave you Time and time again I went away But then would come the time when I would need you And once again these words I had to say Take me back, I love you ...I need you I know it's wrong, it must be wrong But right or wrong I can't get along Without you

My Foolish Heart Songwriter(s): YOUNG, VICTOR / WASHINGTON, NED / WASHINGTON, NED The scene is set for dreaming Love's knocking at the door But oh my heart, I'm reluctant to start For we've been fooled before The night is like a lovely tune Beware, my foolish heart How white the ever constant moon Take care, my foolish heart There's a line between love and fascination That's hard to see on an evening such as this For they both give the very same sensation When you are lost in the magic of a kiss Her lips are much too close to mine Beware, my foolish heart But should our eager lips combine Then let the fire start For this time, it isn't fascination Or a dream that will fade and fall apart It's love, this time it's love, my foolish heart For this time, it isn't fascination Or a dream that will fade and fall apart It's love, this time it's love, my foolish heart
7.
Our Love is Here to Stay Songwriter(s): George Gershwin It's very clear Our love is here to stay ; Not for a year But ever and a day. The radio and the telephone And the movies that we know May just be passing fancies, And in time may go ! But, oh my dear, Our love is here to stay. Together we're Going a long, long way In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibralter may tumble, There're only made of clay, But our love is here to stay.

Let's Face the Music and Dance Songwriter(s): Irving Berlin There may be trouble ahead But while there's moonlight and music And love and romance Let's face the music and dance Before the fiddlers have fled Before they ask us to pay the bill And while we still have the chance Let's face the music and dance Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different tune and then There may be tear drops to shed So while there's moonlight and music And love and romance Let's face the music and dance Let's face the music and dance Soon, we'll be without the moon Humming a different tune and then There may be tear drops to shed So while there's moonlight and music And love and romance Let's face the music and dance Let's face the music and dance

The jazz-tinged piano-ballads featured on Round Midnight, a selection from Taylor's latest album, combine a retro melancholy reminiscent of Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holliday with a self-knowing wink and a nod - in all the tracks, particularly "Let's Face the Music and Dance"
