Yesterday
Yesterday,
all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly
I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don’t know
She wouldn’t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday.

Love story
Where do I begin
To tell the story of how great a love can be,
The sweet love story that is older than the sea,
The simple truth about the love she brings to me?
Where do I start?
With her first hello
She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine;
There’d never be another love, another time;
She came into my life and made the living fine.
She fills my heart.
She fills my heart with very special things.
With angel songs, with wild imaginings.
She fills my soul with so much love
That anywhere I go I’m never lonely.
With her along who could be lonely .
I reach for her hand, it’s always there.
How long does it last?
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
I have no answers now, but this much I can say:
I know I’ll need her till the stars all burn away
And she’ll be there.

Love Me Tender
by Presley/Matson
Love me tender,
love me sweet,
never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
and I love you so.
Love me tender,
love me true,
all my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
and I always will.
Love me tender,
love me long,
take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
and we'll never part.
Love me tender,
love me dear,
tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
till the end of time.

Green, Green Grass Of Home
Tom Jones
The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home

Bailamos
Enrique Iglesias
Tonight we dance, I lay my life in your hand
we take the floor, nothing is forbidden anymore.
Don't let the world in outside,
don't let the moment go by
nothing can stop us tonight…
RIT.: Bailamos, let the rhythm take you over bailamos,
te quiero amor mio
Bailamos, wanna live this night forever bailamos
te quiero amor mio, te quiero…
Tonight I'm yours, we can make it happen, I'm so sure
now I'm letting go, there is something I think you should know.
I wanna leaving your side,
we're gonna dance through the night
I wanna reach for the stars…
Oh, oh, oh, Tonight we dance; Oh, oh, oh like no tomorrow
Oh, oh, oh, if you will stay with me, te quiero mi amor.

Delilah
Tom Jones
I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
I could see, that girl was no good for me
But I was lost like a slave that no man could free
At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I cross the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah, I just couldn't take anymore
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
My, my, my, Delilah
Why, why, why, Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take anymore

WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME
Julio Iglesias
(Duet with Dolly Parton)
(Duet with Co Co Lee)
- A. Hammond - J. Bettis -
I wanna feel this way longer than time.
I wanna know your dreams,and make them mine.
I wanna change the world only for you.
All the impossible I wanna do.
I wanna hold you close under the rain.
I wanna kiss your smile, and feel your pain.
I know what's beautiful, looking at you.
Here in a world of lies, you are the true.
And baby
Everytime you touch me, I become a hero.
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you anything you ask for,nothing is above me,
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me.
I wanna make you see just what I was
Show you the loneliness, and what it does.
You walked into my life to stop my tears
Everything's easy now I have you here.
And baby
Everytime you touch me I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you anything you ask for,nothing is above me,
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me.
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Everytime you touch me I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you anything you ask for,nothing is above me,
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me.

Happy new year
No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so gray
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...
Happy new year, Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year, Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Rhythm divine
Enrique Iglesias
Escucha el ritmo de tu corazon
From the coast of Ipanema
to the Island of Capri
all the way to Kuala Lumpur
I will follow you wherever you may be
From the moment, I first saw you
Knew my heart could not be free
Had to hold you in my arms
There can never be another for me
RIT.: All I need is
The Rhythm Divine
Lost in the music
You're heart will be mine
All I need is
to look in your eyes
Viva la musica
Say you'll be mine
Can you feel the heat of passion
Can you taste our love's sweet wine
Join the dance and let it happen
Put tomorrow's cares right out of your mind
As the music draws you closer
And you fall under my spell
I will catch you In my arms now
Where the night can take us no can tell
RIT.:
Gotta have this feeling forever
Gotta live this moment together
Nothing else matters
just you and the night
Follow on the wings of desire
now the rhythm is taking you higher
No one can stop us from havin' it all
You are my heart......you are my soul
RIT.:
Can you feel the rhythm?
Can you feel the rhythm?
Can you feel the rhythm?
Burning .....Burning

Go Down, Moses
Text: Afro-American spiritual (Ex. 3:7-12)
Music: Afro-American spiritual
1. When Israel was in Egypt's land,
let my people go;
oppressed so hard they could not stand,
let my people go.
Refrain:
Go down, (go down) Moses, (Moses)
way down in Egypt's land;
tell old Pharaoh
to let my people go!
2. "Thus saith the Lord," bold Moses said,
let my people go;
"if not, I'll smite your first-born dead,"
let my people go.
(Refrain)
3. No more shall they in bondage toil,
let my people go;
let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
let my people go.
(Refrain)
4. We need not always weep and mourn,
let my people go;
and wear those slavery chains forlorn,
let my people go.
(Refrain)
5. Come, Moses, you will not get lost,
let my people go;
stretch out your rod and come across,
let my people go.
(Refrain)
6. As Israel stood by the water's side,
let my people go;
at God's command it did divide,
let my people go.
(Refrain)
7. When they had reached the other shore,
let my people go;
they sang a song of triumph o'er,
let my people go.
(Refrain)
8. O Moses, the cloud shall cleave the way,
let my people go;
a fire by night, a shade by day,
let my people go.
(Refrain)
9. Your foes shall not before you stand,
let my people go;
and you'll possess fair Canaan's land,
let my people go.
(Refrain)
10. This world's a wilderness of woe,
let my people go;
O let us on to Canaan go,
let my people go.
(Refrain)
11. O let us all from bondage flee,
let my people go;
and let us all in Christ be free,
let my people go.
(Refrain)

Livin' Next Door To Alice
Smokie
Sally called, when she got the word,
She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice."
So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes,
A big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive.
I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door toAlice
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
We grew up together, two kids in the park,
Carved our initials deep in the bark......
Me and Alice.
Now she walks to the door with her head held high,
And just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive.
I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door toAlice
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice.
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
She said "I know how to help you, get over Alice."
She said "Now, Alice is gone, but I'm still here.
And you know I've been waiting twenty four years.........."
And the big limousine disappeared.......
I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door toAlice.
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...

But I can't get you off my mind
No, I can't let go
'Cause I love you so
If you change your mind (take a chance...)

Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me
Gonna do my very best
Baby can't you see
Gotta put me to the test
Take a chance on me (take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on me)

Goodbye My Love
Demis Roussos
Hear the wind sing a sad, old song
it knows y'm leaving you today
please dont cry or my heart will break
when I go on my way
Choris:
goodbye my love goodbye
goodbye and au revoir
as long as you wait for me
I'll never be too far
goodbye my love goodbye
I always be true
so hold me in your dreams
till I come back to you
see the stars in the sky above
they'll shine wherever I may roam
I'll pray every lonely night
That soon they'll guide me home

It’s now or never
(Aaron Schroeder – Wally Gold)
It’s now or never,
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
It’s now or never
My love won’t wait.
When I first saw you
With your smile so tender
My heart was captured,
My soul surrendered
I’d spend a lifetime
Waiting for the right time
Now that your near
The time is here at last.
It’s now or never,
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
It’s now or never
My love won’t wait.
Just like a willow,
We would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
And sweet devotion
Your lips excite me,
Let your arms invite me
For who knows when
We’ll meet again this way
It’s now or never,
Come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
It’s now or never
My love won’t wait.

Silent night
(Gruber)
Silent night, Holy night,
All is calm, all is bright.
Round you Virgin Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild.
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, Holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia.
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.
Silent night, Holy night,
Son of God, Love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.

Oh, Ma, ma
Mama, dear, come over here
And see who's looking in my window
It's the butcher boy and oh,
He's got a bundle in his hand.
Tell me why he winks his eye
Whenever he goes by my window,
Daughter, daughter, he's in love
And you're in love, and love is grand.
Hey Marie! I gotta da pork chop,
Hey Marie! I gotta da lamb chop,
Hey Marie! You wanna marry me?
Oh! Ma-ma! Oh get that man for me,
Oh! Ma-ma! How happy I will be
Tra-la-la and cheery-beery-bee
Oh, if I'm gonna marry
It's the butcher boy for me
Hey, Marie!
I gotta da fruitcake!
I gotta da cheesecake!
Hey, Marie!
You wanna marry me?
Oh! Ma-ma! Oh get that man for me,
Oh! Ma-ma! How happy I will be
Tra-la-la and cheery-beery-bee
Oh, if I'm gonna marry
It's the butcher boy for me

FRAGILE
- Sting -
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
And nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are.

Midnight lady
You think love is a game, love is a motion
Endless and so deep, always emotion
I've got many ways, to reach tomorrow
Love will always grow, no pain, no sorrow
When you take me in your arms, you can break me with your heart
I feel the magic of your charm, oh, you're tearing me apart
Midnight lady, love takes time
Midnight lady, it's hard to find
Midnight lady, I call your name
I know you can ease my pain
Midnight lady, just you and me
Midnight lady, eternaly
Midnight lady, I can fly in your arms
I'll get high
Magic touched my life, I'm still dreaming
Anything before has lost its meaning
Heaven in your eyes, my soul is on fire
Oh, my feelings grow, we can't go higher
Oh, I just want a girl, baby, just to call my own
And I just wanna dream, I don't have to dream alone
Midnight lady, love takes time
Midnight lady, it's hard to find
Midnight lady, I call your name
I know you can ease my pain
Midnight lady, just you and me
Midnight lady, eternaly
Midnight lady, I can fly in your arms
I'll get high

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
ABBA
Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past
Now I just made it, I found you at last
So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it
'Cos it's true
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Oh, no hard feelings between you and me
If we can't make it, but just wait and see
So come on, now let's try it, I love you, can't deny it
'Cos it's true
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
So love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me
I love you
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do |
She's not you
Her hair is soft and her eyes are - oh - so blue.
She's all the things a girl should be
but she's not you.
She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue.
She's everything a man could loved
but she's not you.
And when we're dancing
it almost feels the same.
I've got to stop myself from
whispering your name.
She even kisses me like you used to do.
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you.

In Hundred Years
Outside the gates of heaven
oh, there lives a unicorn
I close my eyes to seven
oh, this world is not my home.
A broken heart in danger and a pillow filled with tears
Oh, can you see the strangers in the pain and in the fears?
Can you feel my heart
baby, don't give up
can you feel my love tonight?
In hundred years love is illegal
in hundred years from now
In hundred years love is illegal
in this lonely heartbreak town.
In hundred years love is illegal
all your dreams will die
In hundred years love is illegal
and your hope will not survive.
L.O.V.E. - Love is illegal
my heart
can you hear my heart is beating?
You're walking through a fire
computers everywhere
Oh, you are a shotgun rider
control is here and there.
And yov read old love letters drowning in the sea
Oh, babe, it doesn't matter
oh, you'll lost all what you feel.
Can you feel my heart
baby, don't give up
can you feel my love tonight?

The Road To Hell
Well I'm standing by a river
But the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlights
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes a smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bells
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to Hell
And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper
Flying away from you
Look out world take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast
And learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road to Hell

Soon two hearts will beat in ecstasy

RAMONA
Ramona, I hear the mission bells above
Ramona, they're ringing out our song of love
I press you, caress you
And bless the day you taught me to care
I'll always remember
The rambling rose you wore in your hair
Ramona, when day is done you'll hear my call
Ramona, we'll meet beside the waterfall
I dread the dawn
When I awake to find you gone
Ramona, I need you, my own
(Ramona), when day is done you'll hear my call
(Ramona), we'll meet beside the waterfall
I dread the dawn
When I awake to find you gone
Ramona, I need you, my own |
Too many tears
Too many tears,
Each night I go to bed,
I lay awake and shed
Too many tears;
Your memory
Is bringing me
Too many tears.
Too many years
I wasted loving you,
And you know I was true,
Too many years,
I cared a lot,
What have I got?
Too many tears.
I know I should have found a new love,
And don't you think I didn't try;
But I found out a "number two" love
Never seems to satisfy.
I'll never learn
To smile again and sing,
I gave you everything;
And in return
What did you leave for souvenirs?
Too many tears.
|
This is my song
Why is my heart so light?
Why are the stars so bright?
Why is the sky so blue
Since the hour I met you?
Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For the world, you and me
I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It hears the same old story
Through all eternity
Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there is you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you |
ORCHIDS IN THE MOONLIGHT
From the film "Flying Down To Rio" (1933)
(Gus Kahn / Edward Eliscu / Vincent Youmans)
Raul Roulien - 1933
Rudy Vallee & His Connecticut Yankees - 1933
Enric Madriguera & His Orchestra - 1934
When orchids bloom in the moonlight
And lovers vow to be true
I still can dream in the moonlight
Of one dear night that we knew
When orchids fade in the dawning
They speak of tears and good-bye
Though my dreams are shattered
Like the petals scattered
Still my love can never die.
There is peace in the twilight
When the day is through
But the shadows that fall
Only seem to recall
All my longing for you
There is a dream in the moonbeam
Upon the sea of blue
But the moonbeams that fall
Only seem to recall
Love is all, love is you |
Puttin' on the Ritz
From the film "Puttin' On The Ritz" (1930)
Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air
High hats and arrowed collars
Wide spats and fifteen dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know
Where to go to, why don't you go
Where fashion sits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Different types, who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes, and cut away coat
Perfect fits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper!
Come, let's mix where Rockerfellers
Walk with sticks, or umber-ellas
In their mitts
Puttin' on the Ritz
Spangled gowns upon a beauty
Of hand-me-downs, on clown and cutie
All misfits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Strolling up the avenue so happy
All dressed up just like an English chappie
Very snappy!
You'll declare it's simply topping
To be there, and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz
Puttin' on the Ritz

ISLE OF CAPRI
(Will Grosz / Jimmy Kennedy)
I`t Was on the Isle of Capri that I found her
Beneath the shade of an old walnut tree
Oh, I can still see the flowers blooming round her
Where we met on the Isle of Capri
She was as sweet as a rose at the dawning
But somehow fate hadn't meant her for me
And though I sailed with the tide in the morning
Still my heart's on the Isle of Capri
Summertime was nearly over
Blue Italian sky above
I said "Lady, I'm a rover,
Can you spare a fine word of love?"
She whispered softly "It's best not to linger"
And then as I kissed her hand I could see
She wore a plain golden ring on her finger
't Was goodbye on the Isle of Capri (3x) |
Lady Of Spain
Eddie Fisher
Lady of Spain, I adore you
Right from the night I first saw you
My heart has been yearning for you
What else could any heart do?
Lady of Spain, I'm appealing
Why should my lips be concealing
All that my eyes are revealing?
Lady of Spain, I love you
Night in Madrid, blue and tender
Spanish moon makes silver splendor
Music throbbing, plaintive sobbing notes of a guitar
While ardent caballeros serenade:
Lady of Spain, I adore you
Right from the night I first saw you
My heart has been yearning for you
What else could any heart do?
Lady of Spain, I'm appealing
Why should my lips be concealing
All that my eyes are revealing?
Lady of Spain, I love you

LADY OF MADRID
( Stanley Damerell / Tolchard Evans / Robert Hargreaves)
Lady of Madrid, how I love you
Lady of Madrid, I will be true
Here in the moonlight beneath your balcony
Singing the song that is love's sweet melody
Lady of Madrid, forevermore
Lady of Madrid, you, I'll adore
I will love you, dear, always
By the stars above,
Lady of Madrid, my love.
Night falls, love calls,
Through the orange groves
A caballero goes his way
Starlight, moonlight,
All the ???? ????
A senorita bright and gay
Oh hear an old song of the Spanish Main
Flower of Spain, tend the strain
Great caballero serenades his love
With this refrain
Lady of Madrid, how I love you
Lady of Madrid, I will be true
Here in the moonlight beneath your balcony
Singing the song that is love's sweet melody
Lady of Madrid, forevermore
Lady of Madrid, you, I'll adore
I will love you, dear, always
By the stars above,
Lady of Madrid, my love.

ST. LOUIS BLUES
(W. C. Handy)
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
I hate to see that evening sun go down,
'Cause my lovin' baby done left this town.
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,
If I feel tomorrow, like I feel today,
I'm gonna pack my trunk and make my getaway.
Oh, that St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings,
She pulls my man around by her apron strings.
And if it wasn't for powder and her store-bought hair,
Oh, that man of mine wouldn't go nowhere.
I got those St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be,
Oh, my man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
I love my man like a schoolboy loves his pie,
Like a Kentucky colonel loves his rocker and rye
I'll love my man until the day I die, Lord, Lord.
I got the St. Louis blues, just as blue as I can be, Lord, Lord!
That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me.
I got those St. Louis blues, I got the blues, I got the blues, I got the blues,
My man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea,
Or else he wouldn't have gone so far from me, Lord, Lord! |
MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER
(John Lennon / Paul McCartney)
The Beatles
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
science in her home
late nights all alone with a test tube oh oh oh oh
Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
calls her on the phone
can I take you out to the pictures Joan
but as she's getting ready to go
a knock comes on her door
chorus
Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head
bang bang maxwells silver hammer made sure that she was dead
Back at school again, Maxwell plays the fool again
teacher gets annoyed
wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
she tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
so he waits behind
writing 50 times I must not be so oh oh oh
but when she turns her back on the boy
he creeps up from behind
chorus
PC 31, said we caught a dirty one
Maxwell stands alone
painting testimonial pictures oh oh oh oh
Rose and Valerie, sreaming from the gallery
say he must go free {Maxwell must go free}
the judge does not agree and he tells them so oh oh oh
but as the words are leaving his lips
a noise comes from behind |
KISS OF FIRE
(A.G. Vilodo / Lester Allen / Robert Hill -
Adapted from the Argentine tango "El Choclo")
I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher
I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire
Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning
I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire
I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?
What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, don't pity me
Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire
(Instrumental Break)
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, don't pity me
Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me......your kiss of fire!!! |
Ocean Gypsy
Tried to take it all away,
Learn her freedom... just inside a day,
And find her soul to find there fears are laid...
Tried to make her love their own,
They took her love... they left her there,
They gave her nothing back that she would want to own...
Gold and silver rings and stones,
Dances slowly off the moon,
No one else could know, she stands alone...
Sleeping dreams will reach for her,
She can not say the words they need,
She knows she's alone and she is free...
Ocean Gypsy of the moon,
The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold...
Ocean Gypsy where are you?
The shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold...
Turned to gold...
Then she met a hollow soul,
Filled him with her light and was consoled,
She was the moon and he the sun was gold...
Eyes were blinded with his light...
The sun she gave reflected back the night
The moon was waning almost out of sight...
Softly Ocean Gypsy calls...
Silence holds the stars a while,
They smile sadly for her where she falls...
Just the time before the dawn,
The sea is hushed the ocean calls her,
Day has taken her and now she's gone...
No one noticed when she died,
Ocean Gypsy shackled to the tide,
The ebbing waves, the turning spreading white...
Something gone within her eyes,
Her fingers, lifeless, stroked the sand,
Her battered soul was lost,
She was abandonned...
Silken threads like wings still shine,
Wind swept pleasures still make patterns
in her lovely hair... so dark and fine...
Stands on high beneath the seas, cries no more,
her tears have dried...
Oceans weep for her, the ocean sighs...

Wish You Were Here
Wish you were here...
Me, oh, my countryman,
Wish you were here...
I wish you were here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell,
And I'm feeling blue...
I've got feelings for you,
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you,
I felt joy of living,
I saw heaven in your eyes...
In your eyes...
Wish you were here,
Me, oh, my countryman,
Wish you were here...
I wish you were here...
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder,
And I miss you like hell...
And I'm feeling blue...
I miss your laugh, I miss your smile,
I miss everything about you...
Every second's like a minute,
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away...
The snow is getting colder, baby,
And I wish you were here...
A battlefield of love and fear,
And I wish you were here...
I've got feelings for you,
From the first time I laid my eyes on you...
your company...

Lady in Blue
Who's that lady on her own
I wish that she would look my way
She just stands there on her own
A painted smile upon her face
Lonely lady dressed in blue
May I have this dance with you
Let me hold you in my arms
Let the music fill your heart
Now that I'm with you
Wish this night could last forever
Oh my lady blue
If you only knew
I with lonely lonely lady
Oh my lovely lady blue
I with lonely lonely lady
If you only knew
Will we ever meet again
Or is this just a one night stand
But as I hold you in my arms
I wish this night would never end
Oh my lady lady blue
Will you dance with me once more
Let me hold you like before
Let me hold you once again
Now that I'm with you
Wish this night could last forever
Oh my lady blue
If you only knew
I with lonely lonely lady
Oh my lovely lady blue
I with lonely lonely lady
If you only knew
Now that I'm with you... |
My friend the wind
My friend the wind will come from the hills
When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again
My friend the wind will tell me a secret
He shares with me, he shares with me
My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone
I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh
We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
Oh oh oh
My friend the wind go back to the hills
And tell my love a day will soon come
Oh friendly wind you tell her a secret
You know so well, oh you know so well
My friend the wind will come from the north
With words of love, she whispered for me
My friend the wind will say she loves me
And me alone, and me alone
I'll hear her voice and the words
That he brings from Helenimou
Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou
Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou
Oh oh oh
We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou
Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou
Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou
Oh oh oh
La la la .... Helenimou
La la la .... Aghapimou
La la la .... Manoulamou
La la la .... Helenimou
La la la .... Aghapimou
La la la .... Manoulamou

Valencia
Valencia
In my dreams it always seems
I hear you softly call to me
Valencia
Where the orange trees forever
Send the breeze beside the sea
Valencia
In my arms I held your charms
Beneath the blossoms high above
You love me
In Valencia long ago
We found a paradise of love
In a magic dream of memory I see you again
In that old town far away beneath the size of Spain
That city of romances, so shy while you glances
Swiftly sunshine dances through the orange glow
Valencia
In my dreams it always seems
I hear you softly call to me
Valencia
Where the orange trees forever
Send the breeze beside the sea
Valencia, Valencia
Valencia
In my dreams it always seems
I hear you softly call to me
Valencia
Where the orange trees forever
Send the breeze beside the sea
Valencia
In my arms I held your charms
Beneath the blossoms high above
You love me
In Valencia long ago
We found a paradise of love
In Valencia we found a paradise of love |
Yes, my darling daughter
(Jack Lawrence)
I’ve gotta be good or mama will scold me
Yes, yes, yes
I asked her and this is what she told me
Yes, yes, yes
Mother, may I go out dancing? Yes, my darling daughter
Mother, may I try romancing? Yes, my darling daughter
What if there’s a moon, mama darling, and it’s shining on the water
Mother, must I keep on dancing? Yes, my darling daughter
What if he’ll propose, mama darling, when the night is growing shorter?
Mother, what should be my answer? Yes, my darling daughter
Oh mama, oh mama, oh mama, oh mama
What if he should insist on one embrace, mama,
How can I keep him in his place
If his manner becomes a shade improper?
Tell him that your heart belongs to papa
Mother, will it be exciting? Yes, my darling daughter
Mother, do I look inviting? Yes, my darling daughter
If he holds me tight, mama darling, and my knees just turn to water
Mama must I keep on dancing? Yes, my darling daughter
What if he’ll persist, mama darling, doing things he hadn’t oughta
Mama, what should be my answer? Yes, my darling daughter |
Some of These Days
Cab Calloway and His Orchestra 1930-1931
Some of these days you're gonna be so lonely,
Some of these days you're gonna want me only,
You'll miss my love and miss my kiss,
You're gonna miss your little daddy when he goes away!
You'll be so lonely alone without me,
You know, baby, why I went away;
Oh, when I'm leaving, there's no doubt your heart'll be grieving;
You're gonna miss your daddy, mama, some of these days. |
Blue Spanish eyes
Eddie Snyder / Charlie Singleton / Bert Kaempfert
Blue Spanish eyes, teardrops are falling from your Spanish eyes
Please, please don't cry, this is just "adios" and not "goodbye"
Soon I'll return bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say "Si, si", say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
Blue Spanish eyes, prettiest eyes in all of Mexico
True Spanish eyes, please smile for me once more before I go
Soon I'll return bringing you all the love your heart can hold
Please say "Si, si", say you and your Spanish eyes will wait for me
You and your Spanish eyes will wait for me |
Istanbul
Words by Jimmy Kennedy
Music by Nat Simon
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night |
Memory
Letra: Trevor Nunn & T.S. Eliot - Musica: Andrew Lloyd Webber
Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory, she is smiling alone.
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan.
Memory, all alone in the moonlight,
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then.
I remember a time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again.
Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning.
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory, too.
And a new day will begin.
Burnt out ends of smoky days, the stale cold smell of morning.
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning.
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory of my days in the sun.
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun.

I could have danced all night
Julie Andrews - Philippa Bevans
Eliza
Bed, bed, I couldn't go to bed
My head's too light to try to set it down
Sleep! Sleep! I couldn't sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know
What made it so exciting
Why all at once
My heart took flight
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced all night
Servant 1
It's after three now
Servant 2
Don't you agree now
She ought to be in bed
Eliza
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know
What made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced danced all night
Mrs. Pearce
I understand, dear
It's all been grand, dear
But now it's time to sleep
Eliza
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know
What made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he
Began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced
All night

Love Letters In The Sand
Pat Boone
on a day like today
we past time away,
writing love letters in the sand.
how you let when I cry
each time I saw the tide,
take our love letters from the sand.
you made of ..... that you
would ever be true,
but somehow that .....
make nothing to you.
now my broken heart .....
with every way that braves,
over love letters in the sand.
now my broken heart .....
with every way that braves,
over love letters in the sand. |
Moonlight Serenade
Glenn Miller
I stand at your gate
and the song that i sing is of moonlinght,
I stand and i wait
for the touch of your band in the june night,
the roses are singing a moonlight serenade.
the stars are aglow and tonight
how their light sets sets me dreaming,
my love, do you know
that your eyes are like stars,
brightly beaming ?
I bring you and sing you a moonlight serenade.
let us stray till break of day
in love's valley of dreams,
just you and I, a summer sky,
a heavenly breeze kissing the trees.
so don't let me wait, come to me
tenderly, in the June night,
I stand at your gate
and sing you a song in the moonlight,
a love song, my darling, a moonlight serenade.

My Curly-headed babby
Composed by George H. Clutsam
Performed by Columbia Concert Orchestra
with Paul Robeson
Conducted by Emanuel Balaban
Oh my babby, my curly headed babby
We'll sit below the sky and sing a song to the moon
Oh my babby, my little darkie babby
Your daddy's in the cotton field working for the coon
So lulla lulla lulla lulla by by
Does you want the moon to play with,
or the stars to run away with
They'll come if you don't cry
So lulla lulla lulla lulla by by
In your mammy's arms be creeping
And soon you'll be sleeping
So lulla lulla lulla lulla by
Oh my babby, my curly headed babby
I'll dance you fast to sleep and love you, so as I sing
Oh my babby my little darkie babby
Just tuck your head like little bird below its mammy's wing

Eternally
Music by Charles Chaplin
Lyrics by G. Turner
Я буду любить тебя вечно...
I’ll be loving you,
Eternally
With a love that’s true
Eternally,
From the start within my heart
it seems I’ve always known
The sun would shine
when you were mine
and mine alone.
I’ll be loving you,
Eternally
There’ll be no-one new,
my dear, for me.
Though the sky should fall
remember I shall always be
Forever true
and loving you
Eternally.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Jerome Kern - Otto Harbach, 1933
They asked me how I knew my true love was true
I of course replied
"something here inside cannot be denied
They said "someday you'll find
all who love are blind"
When your heart's on fire,
you must realize
smoke gets in your eyes
So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
to think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away,
I am without my love
Now laughing friends deride
tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
"when a lovely flame dies,
smoke gets in your eyes"
(smoke gets in your eyes, smoke gets in your eyes)
Smoke-gets-in-your-eyes.......

Old Folks At Home (Swanee River)
Way down upon the Swanee River,
Far, far away
That's where my heart is turning ever
That's where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation,
Sadly I roam
Still longing for the old plantation
And for the old folks at home
All the world is sad and dreary everywhere I roam
Oh Lordy, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home
All 'round the little farm I wandered,
When I was young
Then many happy days I squandered,
Many the songs I sung
When I was playing with my brother,
Happy was I
Oh, take me to my kind old mother,
There let me live and die
One little hut among the bushes,
One that I love
Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes,
No matter where I rove
When shall I see the bees a humming,
All 'round the comb
When shall I hear the banjo strumming,
Down by my good old home .

Anthem of the USSR
(A. Alexandrov - S. Mikhalkov and Registan)
United forever in friendship and labor
our mighty Republics will ever endure
the Great Soviet Union
will live through the ages
the dream of a people
their fortress secure.
Long live pur Soviet Motherland
built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live her people united and free
strong in a friendship tried by fire
long may her crimson flag inspire
shining in glory for all men to see.
Through days dark and stormy
when great Lenin led us
our eyes saw the bright sun of Freedom above
and Stalin our leader
with faith in the people
inspired us to build the land that we love.
We fought for the future
destroyed the invader
and brought to our homeland
the laurels of fame.
A glory will live in the memory of nations
and all generations will honor her name.

You an' me, we sweat an' strain,
Body all achin an' racked wid pain.
Tote dat barge!
Lif' dat bale!
Git a little drunk
An' you land in jail.
Ah, gits weary
An' sick of tryin'
Ah'm tired of livin'
An' skeered of dyin',
But ol' man river,
He jes'keeps rollin' along! |
Love me tonight
Tom Jones
I know that it's late and I really must leave you alone
But you're too good to hold that I feel such a long way from home
Yes I know that our love is too new, but I promise it's going to be true
Please let me stay and don't you send me away, oh no, no
Aaaah
Tell me baby that you need me, say you'll never leave me
Love me tonight
Hold me now my heart is aching, untill the dawn is breaking
Love me tonight
Something is burning inside, something that can't be denied
I can't let you out of my sight, darling
Love me tonight
Let me love you, baby
Let me love you, baby
Baby, love me tonight
I' ve waited so long for the girl of my dreams to appear
And now I can hardly believe that you really are here
Here in my arms you belong, how can this feeling be wrong
Darling be kind for I' m out of my mind over you
Aaaahh
Tell me baby, that you need me, say you'll never leave me
Love me tonight Baby now the pain is stronger, I can't wait a moment longer
Love me tonight
Something is burning inside, something that can't be denied
I can't let you out of my sight darling
Love me tonight
Let me love you, baby
Let me love you, baby
Baby, love me tonight
Love me to-ni-i-i-i-i-i-ight

You're Such A Good Looking Woman
Joe Dolan
When God created a woman for me
He must have been in a beautiful mood
To show the world what a woman could be
When he created a woman like you
He made the sun shine right out of your eyes
He made the moon glow all over your hair
He put a soft summer breeze in your sighs
So you would breathe summer into the air
Oh me oh my you make me sigh
You're such a good looking woman
When people stop and people stare
You know it fills my heart with pride
You watch their eyes they're so surprised
They think you've fallen out of Heaven
And if you listen to what they're talking about
They're talking about who's walking about
With an angel at his side
Up there in Heaven I bet they are mad
I bet somebody will want to know why
The most incredible angel they had
Was found to be quite unable to fly
D'you know what they had forgotten to do
Up there where they make all those heavenly things
They made an angel as lovely as you
But they'd forgotten to fit you with wings
Oh me oh my you make me sigh
You're such a good looking woman
When people stop and people stare
You know it fills my heart with pride
You watch their eyes they're so surprised
They think you've fallen out of Heaven
And if you listen to what they're talking about
They're talking about who's walking about
With an angel at his side

Lady Laura
I took you home with me one night
When loneliness was all your life
I gave you a gold and silver crown
Nevertheless you let me down
I trusted you as my best friend
And thought our love would never end
Oh Lady Laura
What have you done to me
You've taken the sunshine
And changed it to rain
Then opened my heart
And filled it with pain
La, la, la...
Lady Laura
Lady Laura
I took you home to meet my mama
Before the spring left for the summer
I wanted you to be my wife
And share with me your lonely life
I trusted you as my best friend
And thought our love would never end
Oh Lady Laura
What have you done to me
You've taken the sunshine
And changed it to rain
Then opened my heart
And filled it with pain |
Pretty brown eyes
You say it's over now but it's easy to see
You still belong to him you're not happy with me
You can hide all your feelings until he passes by
That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes
Chorus
Your pretty brown eyes, keep telling me lies
But you can't hide the hurt with a smile of disguise
You can hide all your feelings until he passed by
That's when I see the blues in your pretty brown eyes

Make me an Island
Different eyes, different sighs, different girls every day
Different names, different games took my breath clean away
But I'm changed, rearranged, I'm enlightened and how
you have caught me, you have taught me and I'm different now.
Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors.
Shut me off, cut me off, make me an island, I'm yours.
Take me away from the world, take me away from the girls.
Take me and break me and make me an island, I'm yours.
Running round, shifting ground, that's the life I have seen.
But I'm tired, uninspired and I've wiped my slate clean.
You are mine, I am yours if the Lord will allow.
You have caught me, you have taught me and I'm different now.

Siboney
Music: Ernesto Lecuona, Lyrics: Dolly Morse, Dorothy Terriss
If you've been, in Havana you have heard a dreamy tune.
When you think of Havana you recall this dreamy tune.
If you've danced in Havana you've caught its funny rhythm that made your senses stray,
Night and day here's that tantalizing melody they play.
Siboney, that's the tune that they croon at you
down Havana way,
Siboney, that's the dance that they dance at the cafe,
And that tune brings you dreams so it seems
underneath the silver moon,
As they play Siboney, ev'ry care will fade away.
Fascinating, captivating, Siboney. |
There is a tavern in the town
There is a tavern in the town,
In the town,
And there my true love sits him down.
And. drinks his wine with laughter free
And never, never thinks of me.
Refrain:
Fare thee well, for I must leave thee,
Do not let this parting grieve thee,
For they tell me that the "best of friends must part,
Must part.
Adieu, adieu, kind friends
Adieu, adieu, adieu,
I can no longer stay with you,
Stay with you,
So, I'll hang my harp on a weeping willow tred
And may the world go well with thee.
He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark,
Each Friday night they used to spark, used to spark,
And now my love once true to me
Takes that dark damsel on his knee.
And now I see him nevermore, nevermore;
He never knocks upon my door, on my door;
Oh, woe is me; he pinned a little note,
And these were all the words he wrote:
Oh, dig my grave wide and deep;
Put tombstones at my head and feet;
And on my breast just carve a turtle dove
To signify I died of love.

Just an echo in the valley
Harry MacGregor Woods (m)
Jimmy Campbell (l) Reg Connolly (l)
Just an echo in the valley,
But it brings back sweet memories of you.
Can't you hear it, through the twilight,
When it answered, "I love you, I do!"
How I wish we were here just like we used to be,
'Cause since you have gone there is nothing left for me.
Just an echo in the valley,
But it brings back sweet memories of you. |
