Dance of the sugar plum fairy Too many dreams Cold hearted woman Keep cool fool Lazy blues Downbeat The buffalo nickle Hey pretty baby So long shorty Sad eyes Miss eva Bewildered Careless love Lost for words I had a good cry Love never comes around my way Fishtail Always Ashes in the tray I cant escape from you Deep purple Somebody loves me I wish somebody cared enough to cry The birth of the blues Who are you Tell it to me No regrets That wonderful worrisome feeling Love is here to stay Well nacht ´tain´t no good Auld lang syne I guess i´ll have to get along without you
