America [From West Side Story]
Bill Charlap

Some have said, down through history
If you last it's a mystery
But I guess they don't know, what they're talking about
From the mountains down to the sea
You've become such a habit with me
America, America

Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, America
It don't matter where I may roam
Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, America

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America

And the men, who fell on the plains
And lived, through hardship and pain
America, America
And the men who could not fight
In a war that didn't seem right
You let them come home, America

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America

Well I come from, down around Tennesee
But the people in California
Are nice to me, America
It don't matter where I may roam

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America

Tell you people that it's home sweet home
America, America
America, America

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too
And the red man is right, to expect a little from you
Promise and then follow through, America

It's home sweet home, Amer-ica
America, America

Lyrics by Bill Charlap

A Foggy Day All Through the Night Always Body and Soul How Long Has This Been Going On? In the Still of the Night It Might as Well Be Spring It Was Written in the Stars Last Night When We Were Young Love Is Here to Stay Nice Work If You Can Get It On Green Dolphin Street Skylark The Boy Next Door The Heather on the Hill The Nearness of You These Foolish Things Where or When You Make Me Feel So Young
