SONGLIST

Eveline Schauer

A kiss to build a dream on
All of me
Angel eyes
Autumn Leaves
Besame mucho
Black Coffee
Cry me a river
Danke schoen
Don’t know why
Embraceable you
Fever
Gee Baby, ain’t I good to you
Home
Honeysuckle Rose
I believe in you
It’s all right with me
It’s de-lovely
I get a kick out of you
I was made for loving you Baby
Just one of those things
Let’s fall in love
Like someone in love
Lullaby of birdland
Makin’ whoopee
Secret Love
Sway
S’wonderful
Tenderly
The first time I saw your face
Till the end of time
Turn me on
Why don’t you do right
