Well, right now my personal favorite is Sentimental Journey...
Gonna take a Sentimental Journey,
Gonna set my heart at ease.
Gonna make a Sentimental Journey,
to renew old memories.
Got my bags, got my reservations,
Spent each dime I could afford.
Like a child in wild anticipation,
I Long to hear that, "All aboard!"
Seven...that's the time we leave at seven.
I'll be waitin' up at heaven,
Countin' every mile of railroad
track, that takes me back.
Never thought my heart could be so yearny.
Why did I decide to roam?
Gotta take that Sentimental Journey,
Sentimental Journey home.
Sentimental Journey.
I love every line, and every lyric of this song. It's so beautiful, whether it was her singing it in the 40s or when she did her tv special... I love this song... It's just so... Doris<3

So many great ones to choose from, but it could possibly be the lyrics to My One and Only Love. It's probably followed closely by I Remember You. Two of the greatest musical works of art I've heard. Ask me again in a week, and I'll probably have another answer! 
I REMEMBER YOU
I remember you.
You're the one who made my dreams come true,
a few kisses ago.
I remember you.
You're the one who said, "I love you, too.
I do. Didn't you know?"
I remember, too,
a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I shall tell them I remember you.
And I remember, too,
a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through
and the angels ask me to recall
the thrill of them all,
then I will tell them I remember you.
MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE
The very thought of you makes my heart sing
Like an April breeze
On the wings of spring
And you appear in all your splendor
My one and only love
The shadows fall and spread their mystic charms
In the hush of night
While you're in my arms
I feel your lips so warm and tender
My one and only love
The touch of your hand is like heaven
A heaven that I've never known
The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender
My one and only love
I REMEMBER YOU
I remember you.
You're the one who made my dreams come true,
a few kisses ago.
I remember you.
You're the one who said, "I love you, too.
I do. Didn't you know?"
I remember, too,
a distant bell,
and stars that fell
like rain out of the blue.
When my life is through

The blush on your cheek whenever I speak
Tells me that you are my own
You fill my eager heart with such desire
Every kiss you give sets my soul on fire
I give myself in sweet surrender

Life is just a bowl of cherries;
Don't make it serious;
Life's too mysterious.
You work, you save, you worry so,
But you can't take your dough when you go, go, go.
So keep repeating it's the berries;
The strongest oak must fall.
The sweet things in life
To you were just loaned,
So how can you lose what you've never owned?
Life is just a bowl of cherries,
So live and laugh at it all.

Hoawrd, another great one:
THE MORE I SEE YOU
The more I see you,
The more I want you.
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows.
With every sigh I become more mad about you,
More lost without you,
And so it goes.
Can you imagine
How much I'll love you
The more I see you
As years go by?
I know the only one for me can only be you.
My arms won't free you;
My heart won't try.

John... I didn't know you were writing a book...
I also like the song... Put 'Em In A Box, Tie 'Em With A Ribbon from Romance On The High Seas
You can take the moon
Gather up the stars
And the robins that sing merrily
Put 'em in a box
Tie ’em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
You can take the flowers
Down in lovers lane
And that sentimental poetry
Put 'em in a box
Tie ’em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
Not for me, all that stuff
The dreams that ruin your sleep
Not for me, had enough
Love is one thing you can keep
You can take the plans
And the wedding bells
And whoever sings "Oh Promise Me"
Put 'em in a box
Tie I’em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree
Hansoms through the park
Kisses in the dark
And the promises made faithfully
Put 'em in a box
Tie ‘em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
And you won't go wrong
If you take a song
Sung by Frankie Boy or Mr. C
Put 'em in a box
Tie ‘em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
Not for me, all that stuff
The dreams that ruin your sleep
Not for me, had enough
Love is one thing you can keep
You know what to do
With old "Tea for Two"
And the girl for you, the boy for me
Put 'em in a box
Tie ‘em with a ribbon
Throw 'em in the deep blue sea
'Cause love and I we don't agree

Thanks Howard! 
Yes, Babe, I'm writing a book about Doris' music. So many books focus on the films, and Pierre Patrick put out a great book out about her TV work, but not as much focuses in depth on her recording career. So I set out to rectify that. It goes track by track and album by album and will cover her entire recorded musical legacy. I am hoping to include TONS of photos of Doris in the recording studio, which I love, if that will not prove to be prohibitively expensive.
daybyday08, you will have a wealth of treasures to listen to when you get the Bear Family albums. But definitely check those songs out.

Great topic. For the most part I like specific lyrics from each song, some of which are:
::Not much money oh but honey ain't we got fun
::Tellin' the blues to go they may refuse to go
but as a rule they'll go with you shake them away
::The future's not ours to see, que sera sera
::If I am fancy free and love to wander
it's just the gypsy in my soul
::I want to be happy but I won't be happy
till I make you happy too
::Keep smilin and keep laughin
keep punchin and everything will be alright
::Let the little girl limbooo (cause I loved limbo-ing as a child)
::Life is just a bowl of cherries, don't make it serious, life's too mysterious
You work, you save, you worry so, but you can't take your dough when you go
::Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
to cheer up little girl blue
::Gonna make a sentimental journey to renew old memories
::Au revoir isn't sad, au revoir is goodbye with a smile
::My romance doesn't need a thing but you
PS: John, this is fantastic - best of luck with the book.

I have a couple more songs...
I've always LOVED the lyrics and the message behind...
Que Sera, Sera
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
Que Sera, Sera
And
I Enjoy Being A Girl
I'm a girl, and by me that's only great!
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy,
That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait
With my hips kind of swivelly and swervy.
I adore being dressed in something frilly
When my date comes to get me at my place.
Out I go with my Joe or John or Billy,
Like a filly who is ready for the race!
When I have a brand new hairdo
With my eyelashes all in curl,
I float as the clouds on air do,
I enjoy being a girl!
When men say I'm cute and funny
And my teeth aren't teeth, but pearl,
I just lap it up like honey
I enjoy being a girl!
I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
I drool over dresses made of lace,
I talk on the telephone for hours
With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!
I'm strictly a female female
And my future I hope will be
In the home of a brave and free male
Who'll enjoy being a guy having a girl... like... me.

I had listened to "I enjoy being a girl" once or twice before but never paid attention to these lyrics:
- I flip when a fellow sends me flowers,
I drool over dresses made of lace
Miss Maxwell, it's from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Flower Drum Song and it's sung in the show by a VERY Americanized Chinese girl, to compare her to a newly arrived Chinese mail-order-bride. It's really not meant to be sarcastic at all, as far as that character is concerned.
You picked up on Oscar Hammerstein's alliteration on that line: FLip/FLowers DRool/DResses.

Never felt quite so sunny
And I keep on knockin' wood
There'll be smooth sailin' 'cause I'm trimmin' my sails
With a bright shine on my shoes and on my nails
Steppin' out with my baby

Ask me when will the day be
The big day may be tonight
There'll be smooth sailin' 'cause I'm trimmin' my sails

lyrics
here is just a few of my favorite lyrics.
Life is just a bowl of cherries, don't make it serious, life's too mysterious
If I am fancy free and love to wander
it's just the gypsy in my soul
When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
I know that I'll be contented with yesterday's memory,
Knowing you think of me once in a while.
Keep smilin and keep laughin
keep punchin and everything will be alright
But beautiful to take a chance and if you fall you fall
And I’m thinking I wouldn’t mind it at all
For all we know we may never meet again
fit as a fiddle and ready for love]
those are some of my favorites hope you guys like them [/i]
