MHD, 03/11/2016: Love the list. But realized their was a missing person (well song) "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," by Mathilde Santing. It gives you that feeling of familiar warmth and has been around for many years, which makes it a standard in MY book.

 

Cafe Songbook responds: And here it is:
