Always--Irving Berlin. This song talks about the ceaseless love that is the bond between two special people. Gatsby and Daisy are that American dream couple who are completely obsessed with each other, and Gatsby never gives up hope about having Daisy as his wife.
What'll I Do--Irving Berlin. This song talks about the man not knowing what to do if his love is too far away from him. Gatsby went to war and lost Daisy. He did not know what he could do, but he kept hoping, and he did not allow time to pass; instead, he held on to the past.
I Wanna Be Loved By You--Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby and Herbert Stothart. This describes a man who only wants this particular women. That is how Gatsby's life was: he only wanted Daisy, and he would not give her up, even when he found out that she was married.
Stardust--Hoagy Carmichael, lyrics added by Mitchell Parish. This song talks about a dream of past love that is renewed by kissing, but is still a dream that cannot be made true now. This relates to Gatsby in that he had this dream about always wanting Daisy as his wife, and even when he kisses her now, he cannot have her, because she is now married, and she has changed.
