Bringing vintage songs back to life
This main site has 7,000 song titles in alphabetical order. Click a title to see the sheet music, listen, read lyrics, sing along or play along. For the music by itself, download the MIDI. Enjoy and share.
Join our small group of dedicated singers, musicians and historians in research and documentation. It’s an ongoing project.
We received a second batch of sheet music from New Mexico. Thank you, Arthur! It has these titles that will be added to our project:
You 1930
Fascination 1932
Bess You Is My Woman 1935
If There Is Someone Lovelier Than You 1935
It would help the project if you would sing any of these. Alternatively, we could use a historic recording if it follows the sheet music melody and lyrics.

LYRICS:
Now that we are close,
No more nights morosel
Now that we are one,
The beguine has just begun.
Now that we’re side by side,
The future looks so gay.
Now we are alibied when we say:
REFRAIN:
From this moment on,
You for me, dear,
Only two for tea, dear,
From this moment on.
From this happy day,
No more blue songs,
Only whoop-dee-doo songs,
From this moment on.
For you’ve got the love I need so much,
Got the skin I love to touch,
Got the arms to hold me tight,
Got the sweet lips to kiss good-night,
From this moment on,
You and I, babe,
We’ll be ridin’ high, babe,
Ev’ry care is gone
From this moment on.
REPEAT REFRAIN:
