Only The Best
Tony MedleyReleased: September 25, 2026
Only the Best introduces Tony Medley with a collection of covers celebrating some of the most famous and enduring songs from the golden age of the crooner. Moving between swinging big-band numbers, sophisticated standards and sweeping romantic ballads, Tony brings warmth, confidence and classic vocal elegance to a repertoire built on timeless melody and unforgettable songwriting. The album captures the glamour of old theatres, supper clubs and late-night orchestras without treating the era as a museum piece. As a debut, Only the Best establishes Tony Medley exactly where he belongs: at the microphone, backed by a great band, singing songs made to last.

Lyrics
I'm sitting on top of the world I'm rolling along, yes rolling along I'm quitting the blues of the world I'm singing a song, yes singing a song Glory Hallelujah, I just told the Parson Hey, Par get ready to call Just like Humpty Dumpty, I'm going to fall I'm sitting on top of the world I'm rolling along, rolling along Don't want any millions I'm getting my share I've only got one suit, just one That's all I can wear A bundle of money Don't make me feel gay A sweet little honey Is making me say And I'm sitting, sitting on top, top of the world I'm rolling along, rolling along And I'm quitting, quitting the blues, blues of the world I'm singing a song, yes singing a song Glory Hallelujah, I just told the Parson Hey, Par get ready to call Just like Humpty Dumpty, I'm going to fall, yeah And I'm sitting, sitting on top, top of the world I'm rolling along, rolling along I'm sitting on top of the world - 02Ain't She Sweet03:2803:28
Lyrics
There she is! There she is There’s what keeps me up at night Oh, gee whiz! Oh, gee whiz There’s why I can’t eat a bite Those flaming eyes! That flaming youth Oh, Mister! Oh, Sister, tell me the truth Ain’t she sweet? See her coming down the street Now I ask you very confidentially, ain’t she sweet Ain’t she nice? Look her over once or twice Now I ask you very confidentially, ain’t she nice Just cast an eye in her direction Oh, me! Oh, my! Ain’t that perfection I repeat, don’t you think that’s kind of neat Ain’t she sweet Tell me where, tell me where Have you seen one just like that I declare, I declare That sure is worth looking at Oh, boy, how sweet those lips must be Gaze on it! Dog-gonit! Now answer me Ain’t she sweet? See her coming down the street Now I ask you very confidentially, ain’t she sweet Ain’t she nice? Look her over once or twice Now I ask you very confidentially, ain’t she nice Just cast an eye in her direction Oh, me! Oh, my! Ain’t that perfection I repeat, don’t you think that’s kind of neat Ain’t she sweet - 03My Blue Heaven02:0402:04
Lyrics
Just beyond the city lights Where the evening breeze is slow There’s a little place I know Where the golden lamplight glows Through the window laughter flows Soft as music in the air And a pair of rocking chairs Wait for us to wander there My blue heaven Just you and I together Stars above and love forever That’s my blue heaven tonight My blue heaven No grand parade or glory Just a sweet and simple story Under soft silver moonlight Every dream feels close at hand When you take me by the hand In that quiet little land Where our hearts can understand My blue heaven Just you and I together Stars above and love forever That’s my blue heaven tonight So let the whole world hurry by We’ll be happy you and I In our blue heaven tonight - 04Stardust04:2704:27
Lyrics
Soft in the hush of evening When the silver moon is high I hear an old familiar tune Drifting through the sky Memories start returning Like a melody we knew Every star above me seems To whisper back to you Just like stardust falling Through a midnight sky of blue All the dreams we shared before Come shining softly through Like stardust glowing Every moment that we knew Lives forever in the music Of my heart with you Though the years may wander And the days may drift apart Still that tender song remains Playing in my heart Just like stardust falling Through a midnight sky so wide All the love we dreamed before Is shining by my side Like stardust glowing Soft and timeless through and through Every star above reminds me Of my love for you So when the night grows quiet And the lonely skies are blue I’ll hear the song of stardust And remember you - 05Carolina in the Morning04:0704:07
Lyrics
Wishing is good time wasted Still it's a habit they say Wishing for sweets I've tasted That's all I do all day Maybe there's nothing in wishing But speaking of wishing I'll say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning Where the morning glories twine around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup at dawning If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning Dreaming was meant for night time I live in dreams all the day I know it's not the right time But still I dream away What could be sweeter than dreaming Just dreaming and drifting away Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning Where the morning glories twine around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup at dawning If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning Where the morning glories twine around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little buttercup at dawning If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning - 06Bye Bye Blackbird04:2304:23
Lyrics
Blackbird, blackbird Singing the blues all day Right outside of my door Blackbird, blackbird Why do you sit and say There's no sunshine in store All through the winter you hung around Now I begin to feel homeward bound Blackbird, blackbird Got to be on my way Where there's sunshine galore Pack up all my care and woe Here I go singing low Bye Bye Blackbird Where somebody waits for me Sugar is sweet, so is she Bye Bye Blackbird No one here can love and understand me Oh! What hard luck stories they all hand me Make my bed and light the light I'll arrive late tonight Blackbird, bye bye Bluebird, bluebird Calling me far away I've been longing for you Bluebird, bluebird What do I hear you say Skies are turning to blue I'm like a flower that's fading here Where every hour is one long tear Bluebird, bluebird This is my lucky day Now my dreams will come true Pack up all my care and woe Here I go singing low Bye Bye Blackbird. Where somebody waits for me Sugar is sweet, so is she Bye Bye Blackbird No one here can love and understand me Oh! What hard luck stories they all hand me Make my bed and light the light I'll arrive late tonight Blackbird, bye bye Bye bye, blackbird - 07When You're Smiling02:2402:24
Lyrics
When you're smiling When you're smiling The whole world smiles with you When you're laughing Oh, when you're laughing The sun comes shining through But when you're crying You bring on the rain So stop your sighing Be happy again Keep on smiling 'Cause when you're smiling The whole world smiles with you But when you're crying You bring on the rain So stop your sighing Be happy again Keep on smiling 'Cause when you're smiling The whole world smiles with you The whole world smiles with you - 08Side By Side02:3302:33
Lyrics
Through the laughter and the midnight lights Through the music drifting low We’ll keep dancing through the days and nights Anywhere the breezes blow When the road gets long and winding And the world is turning wide There’s no dream that feels too far away When you’re right here by my side Side by side we’ll wander Under every moonlit sky Side by side forever You and I Hand in hand together Through the years we’ll take the ride Laughing through whatever Side by side Let the band keep softly swinging Let the night go drifting by Every little song they’re bringing Feels like stars across the sky If tomorrow brings a stormy day We’ll just let the clouds roll wide Cause the sun will always find its way When we’re walking side by side Side by side we’ll wander Under every moonlit sky Side by side forever You and I Hand in hand together Through the years we’ll take the ride Laughing through whatever Side by side So let the whole world hurry Let the restless rivers glide We’ll keep singing softly Side by side
