New York Medley: Let's Say Goodbye / Teach Me to Dance Like Grandma / We Were Dancing / Sigh No More / Ziguener / You Were There / Nevermore / I'll See You Again / Mad Dogs and Englishmen - Noël Coward

Let our affair be a gay thing

And when these hours have flown

Then, without forgetting happiness that is past

There’ll be no regretting fun that didn’t quite last

Let’s look on love as a plaything

All these sweet moments we’ve known

Mustn’t be degraded

When the thrill of them has faded

Let’s say goodbye and leave it alone

Teach me to dance

Like grandma used to dance

I refuse to dance—

Blues

Blackbottoms, Charlestons—what wind blew them in?

Monkeys do them in

Zoos

Back in the past the dancing singified

Just a dignified

Glow

They didn’t have to be so strong

Though they revolved the whole night long

Teach me to dance like grandma used to dance

Sixty summers ago

We were dancing

And the gods must have found it entrancing

For they smiled

On a moment undefiled

By the care and woe that mortals know—

We were dancing

And the music and lights were enhancing our desire

When the world caught on fire

She and I were dancing

Sigh no more, sigh no more

Great clouds of sorrow fill the sky no more

Joy is your troubador

Sweet and beguiling ladies, sigh no more

Sigh no more

Sweet and beguiling ladies, sigh no more

Play to me beneath the Summer moon

Zigeuner

Zigeuner

Zigeuner!

Now you have me in your power

Play to me for just an hour

Zigeuner!

You were there

Your eyes looked into mine and faltered

Everywhere, the colour of the whole world altered

False became true

My universe tumbled in two

The earth became heaven for you were there

Nevermore.

Nevermore

Can life be quite the same

The light and shadows change

All the old familiar world is strange

Evermore, evermore

Our hearts are in the flame

Others may regain their freedom

But for you and me

Never, never, more

Though our worlds may go awry

Though the years my tears may dry

I shall love you till I die

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday sun!

Play to me beneath the Summer moon

Zigeuner

Zigeuner

Zigeuner!

All I ask of life

Is just to listen to the songs that you sing

My spirit like a bird on the wing

Your melodies adoring

Soaring!

Call to me with some barbaric tune

Zigeuner

Zigeuner

Zigeuner!

Now you have me in your power

Play to me for just an hour

Zigeuner

Let our affair be a gay thing

And when these hours have flown

Then without forgetting happiness that is past

There’ll be no regretting fun that didn’t quite last

Let’s look on love as a plaything

All these sweet moments we’ve known

Mustn’t be degraded

When the thrill of them has faded

Let’s say goodbye and leave it alone

Teach me to dance like grandma used to dance, I refuse to dance blues

Blackbottoms, Charlestons, what wind blew them in

Monkeys do them in zoos

Back in the past the dancing singified

Just a dignified glow

They didn’t have to be so strong

Though they revolved the whole night long

Teach me to dance like grandma used to dance

Sigh no more, sigh no more

Great clouds of sorrow fill the sky no more

Sweet and beguiling ladies, sigh no more

Sigh no more

Sweet and beguiling ladies, sigh no more

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday

Out in the midday sun!
