On every tree there sits a bird, singing a song of love
On every tree there sits a bird, and ev’ryone I ever heard
Could break my heart without a word singing a song of love
If he can care for little butterflies,
Why can’t he care for me?
If he can stare for hours at April skies,
Why can’t he stare at me?
Dormi, dormi, dormi, good night and sleep well, my love,
Dormi, dormi, dormi, angels are watching above;
Till the dawn on tiptoe steals over your window sill,
May ev’ry bright star attend thee
And befriend thee with its light.
This little song may I send thee,
Dormi, dormi, my love, good-night.

April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom
Holiday tables under the trees
April in Paris, this is a feeling
No one can ever reprise
Dancin’ in the dark ’til the tune ends
We’re dancin’ in the dark and it soon ends
We’re waltzin’ in the wonder of why we’re here
Time hurries by, we’re here, and gone
Song lyrics to How are things in Glocca Mora? (1945) music by Burton Lane, lyrics by E.Y. Harburg. Written for the 1947 musical, Finian’s Rainbow.

A day in the life of a fool;
A sad and a long lonely day.
Got my tweed pressed, got my best vest
All I need now is the girl
Got my striped tie, got my hopes high
Got the time and the place and I got the rhythm
Now, all I need’s the girl to go with’em
