4th Avenue Singers
Green Lights SARAH JAROSZ (b. 1991) LUKE REYNOLDS (b. 1979) ARR. DAVID VON KAMPEN (b. 1986) I hear your voice out in the darkness, Somewhere across the fresh cut lawn. We’re running barefoot through the wet grass, Nowhere to be found until the dawn.
Up on ahead the stars are burning, Gravity’s bending time and space. The galaxies are slowly turning, And we’re both standing face to face. Green lights and open road, And skies of endless blue, That’s the feeling I get when I’m with you.
And all the corners of the universe that light could fall into, And I’m standing next to you. Green lights and open road, And skies of endless blue, That’s the feeling I get when I’m with you. —Sarah Jarosz & Luke Reynolds
Sonja Munson & Isaac Rohne, soloists Cameron Steenhoek, bass James Kamstra, drumset Joya Schreurs, keyboard
How Deep Is the Ocean IRVING BERLIN (1888-1989) ARR. KIRBY SHAW How much do I love you? I’ll tell you no lie. How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky?
How many times a day do I think of you? How many roses are sprinkled with dew? How far would I travel to be where you are? How far is the journey from here to a star?
Oh, and if I ever lost you, how much would I cry? How deep is the ocean, how high is the sky? —Irving Berlin
Annabelle Hosmer, soloist
Ain’t That A Kick In the Head? JIMMY VAN HEUSEN (1913-1990) ARR. RYAN O’CARROLL How lucky can one guy be, I kissed her and she kissed me. As the fella once said, “Ain’t that a kick in the head?”
The room was completely black. I hugged him and he hugged back. Like the sailor said, quote: “Ain’t that a hole in the boat?”
My head keeps spinnin,’ I go to sleep and keep grinnin’ If this is just the beginnin,’ my life is gonna be beautiful. I’ve sunshine enough to spread; It’s just like the fella said: “Tell me quick, ain’t love a kick in the head?” —Sammy Cahn (1913-1993)

Straighten Up and Fly Right NAT KING COLE (1919-1965) ARR. JED SCOTT A buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air The monkey thought that ev'rything was on the square The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back But the monkey grabbed his neck and said, now, listen, Jack
Straighten up and fly right, straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin', what's the use of jivin' Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top
The buzzard told the monkey, “you are choking me Release your hold and I will set you free.” The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said, “Your story's so touching, but it sounds like a lie”
Straighten up and fly right straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right, cool down papa, don't you blow your top —Nat King Cole
Selena Munson, Sonja Munson, Nicholas Schnell, & Isaac Rohne, soloists
I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter FRED E. AHLERT (1892-1953) ARR. GREGORY W. YASINITSKY (b. 1953) The mailman passes by and I just wonder why, He never stops to ring my front door bell There’s not a single line from that dear old love of mine No not a word since I last heard “farewell.”
I’m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you I'm gonna write words, oh, so sweet They're gonna knock me off my feet Kisses on the bottom I'll be glad I got 'em
I'm gonna smile and say "I hope you're feelin' better" And close "with love" the way you do I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter And make believe it came from you —Joe Young (1889-1939)
