Over The Rainbow: The American Standard EP

1. I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face

   I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face

   (Frederick Loewe-Alan Jay Lerner)

   I’ve grown accustomed to her face
   She almost makes the day begin
   I’ve grown accustomed to the tune
   She whistles night and noon
   Her smiles, her frowns
   Her ups, her downs

   Are second nature to me now
   Like breathing out and breathing in
   I was serenely independent and content before we met
   Surely I could always be that way again, and yet
   I’ve grown accustomed to her look
   Accustomed to her voice
   Accustomed to her face

   I guess I’m used to hear her say
   Good morning everyday
   Her joys, her woes
   Her highs, her lows

   They’re second nature to me now
   Like breathing out and breathing in
   I’m very grateful she’s a woman
   And so easy to forget
   Rather like a habit
   One can always break, and yet

   I’ve grown accustomed to the trace
   Of something in the air
   Accustomed to her face

2. Never Never Land

   Never Never Land

   (Jule Styne-Betty Comden-Adolph Green)

   I know a place where dreams are born
   And time is never planned
   It’s not on any chart
   You must find it with your heart
   Never Never Land

   It might be miles beyond the moon
   Or right there where you stand
   Just keep an open mind
   And then suddenly you’ll find it
   Never Never Land

   You’ll find a treasure if you stay there
   More precious far than gold
   For once you have found your way there
   You can never, never grow old

   And that’s my place where dreams are born
   And time is never planned
   Just think of lovely things
   And your heart will fly on wings
   Forever, in Never Never Land

   And once you have found your way there
   You can never, never grow old

   So that’s my home where dreams are born
   And time is never planned
   Just think of lovely things
   And your heart will fly on wings
   Forever, in Never Never Land

3. Over The Rainbow

   Over The Rainbow

   (Harold Arlen-Yip Harburg)

   When all the world seems a hopeless jumble
   And the raindrops tumble all around
   Heaven opens a magic lane

   And when the clouds darken up the skyway
   There’s a rainbow highway to be found
   Leading from your window pane
   To a place behind the sun
   Just a step beyond the rain

   Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
   There’s a land that I learned of once in a lullaby

   Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
   And the dreams that you dare to dream really can come true

   Someday I’ll wish upon a star
   And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
   Where troubles melt like lemon drops
   Way up above the chimney tops
   That’s where you’ll find me

   Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
   Birds fly over that rainbow
   Why then oh why can’t I?

   If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
   Why oh why can’t I?
