Let's have your memories and lyrics to your favourite Doris Day songs who sadly left us recently. As a member of her British fan club, she was not only a great singer, fine dramatic actress and with a great sense of comedic timing too but a warm, kind-hearted human being and will NEVER be forgotten, not by me anyway.

Here's a couple of my favourites of her songs with lyrics:-

JUST BLEW IN FROM THE WINDY CITY

I just blew in from the windy city,
The windy city is mighty pretty
But they ain't got what we've got, yes sirree!
They've got shacks up to seven storeys,
Never see any morning glories
But a step from our doorway, we got 'em for free.

They've got those, minstrel shows,
Pretty ladies in the pink chateaus.
Private lawns, public parks,
For the sake of civic virtue
They've got fountains there that squirt you.

I just blew in from the windy city,
The windy city is mighty pretty
But they ain't got what we've got,
I'm telling you boys!
I wouldn't swap half Deadwood City
For the whole of Illinois.

You should have seen me a-window shopping,
A-window shopping with eyes a-popping
At the sights that you see there, yes sirree!
Press a bell and a moment later
Up you go in an elevator,
Just as fast as a polecat a-climbing a tree.

I heard claim, hundreds came
To a thing they call a baseball game.
Cigar stores, revolving doors,
They've got new inventions coming
'stead of indoor outdoor plumbing.

I just blew in from the windy city,
The windy city is mighty pretty
But that ain't got what we've got,
I'm telling you boys!
We've got more life in Deadwood City
Than in all of Illinois.

MOVE OVER, DARLING

Our lips shouldn't touch
(Move Over, Darling),
I like it too much
(Move Over, Darling),
That gleam in your eyes
Is no big surprise anymore,
'cause you fooled me before.

I'm all in a spin,
(Move Over, Darling)
About to give in
(Move Over, Darling),
And though its not right
I'm too weak to fight it somehow,
'cause I want you right now.

The way you sigh
Has me waving my conscience bye-bye.
You can call me a fickled thing
But I'm practically yours
Forever because;

I yearn to be kissed
(Move Over, Darling),
How can I resist?
(Move Over, Darling)
Please give me your love,
I'm longing for you,
I need all your love:
Honest I do.
You captured my heart
And now that I'm no longer free,
Make love to me.

Move Over, Darling, make love to me.
Move Over, Darling, make love to me.
