I Won't Last A Day Without You Composer(s): Roger Nichols; Paul Williams First release by: The Carpenters - 1972 Covered by multiple other artists
Day after day I must face a world of strangers Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to Who will always care, you're always there
When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be without a friendly face A lonely place It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing Troubles seem to up and disappear You touch me with the love you're bringing I can't really lose when you're near
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises They're not unkind, just hard to find One look at you and I know that I could learn to live Without the rest, I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you
When there's no getting over that rainbow When my smallest of dreams won't come true I can take all the madness the world has to give But I won't last a day without you

Twins Composer(s): L. Smokey Bates - Skip Scarborough Performer(s): Philip Bailey & Little Richard
What happened to you Hey I could feel it I smile and cry Without knowing why The join the pain would be so real I felt like my life was happening to me And now I know, its cause you're part of me Was it my choice, it was meant to be We were connected even when apart We got together right from the start
Twins, united that's how it is When you're twins, the magic just never ends
If one day is good then two is better I can't complain cause I'm ahead of the game Please pick the pain double the pleasure I'm starting to feel my philosophy Now we're not just your average family We got better this suppose people never seen And if I had a chance to live and again I wouldn't want it unless I was your twin
Twins, united that's how it is When you're twins, the magic just never ends
I Won't Hold You Back Composer(s): Steve Lukather Performer(s): Toto and multiple other artists
If I had another chance tonight I'd try to tell you that the things we had were right Time can't erase the love we shared But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
Now you're gone, I'm really not the same I guess I have myself to blame Time can't erase the things we said But it gives me time to realize that you're the one instead
You know I won't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found You know I can't hold you back now
Now that I'm alone it gives me time to think about the years that you were mine Time can erase the love we shared But it gives me time to realize just how much you cared
You know I won't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found (Listen to me baby) You know I can't hold you back now
You know I won't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found You know I can't hold you back now The love we had just can't be found

I Won't Grow Up Composer(s): Moose Charlap; Carolyn Leigh Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones and multiple other artists
I wont grow up I dont want to go to school Just to learn to be a parrot And recite a silly rule If growing up means it would be Beneath my dignity to climb a tree Ill never grow up, never grow up, Never grow up! Not me! Not I! Not me!
I wont grow up I dont want to wear a tie And a serious expression In the middle of July And if it means I must prepare To shoulder burdens with a worried air Ill never grow up, never grow up Never grow up, not me! Not I! Not me! So there!
Never gonna be a man! I wont! Like to see somebody try and make me Anyone who wants to try and make me turn me to a man Catch me if you can!
I wont grow up Not a penny will I pinch I will never grow a moustache Or a fraction of an inch Cause growing up is awfuller Than all the awful things that ever were Ill never grow up, never grow up, Never grow up, no sir! Not I! Not me! So there!
I wont grow up! I will never even try I will do what Peter tells me And Ill never ask him why We wont grow up
We will never grow a day And if someone tries to make us We will simply run away
I wont grow up No, I promise that I wont I will stay a boy forever Or be banished if I dont And Neverland will always be The home of youth and joy and liberty Ill never grow up, never grow up Never grow up, Not me! No sir! Not me!
Kisses Of Fire Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Björn Ulvaeus Performer(s): ABBA
Lay your head on my chest
so you hear every beat of my heart Now there's nothing at all that can keep us apart Touch my lips, close your eyes and see with your fingertips Things that you do, and you know I'm crazy 'bout you
Kisses of fire, burning, burning I'm at the point of no returning Kisses of fire, sweet devotions Caught in a land-slide of emotions I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss Kisses of fire Kisses of fire
When you sleep by my side I feel safe and I know I belong Still it's making me scared that my love is so strong Losing you is a nightmare fate and to me it's new Never before did you see me begging for more
Kisses of fire, burning, burning I'm at the point of no returning Kisses of fire, sweet devotions Caught in a land-slide of emotions I've had my share of love affairs but they were nothing compared to this Oh, I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss Kisses of fire Kisses of fire
Kisses of fire, burning, burning I'm at the point of no returning Kisses of fire, sweet devotions Caught in a land-slide of emotions Kisses of fire, burning, burning (I'm at the point of no returning) Kisses of fire, sweet devotions I'm riding higher than the sky and there is fire in every kiss (Caught in a land-slide of emotions) Kisses of fire, burning, burning I'm at the point of no returning Kisses of fire, sweet devotions Caught in a land-slide of emotions
Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone Composer(s): Jay Graydon - Bernard Herrmann - Alan Paul Performer(s): The Manhattan Transfer
When I hear this melody This strange illusion takes over me Through a tunnel of the mind Perhaps a present or future time oh, oh Out of nowhere comes this sound This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round Pyramidal locomotion From a mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight Hearin' the twilight tone
Unpretentious girl from Memphis Saw the future through her third eye People came with skepticism Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh Suddenly they heard this sound This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round A signpost up ahead is calling Through the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm Hearin' the twilight Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da Hearin' the twilight Twilight tone
Submitted for your approval One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip into oddness and obsolescene through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing sound of the Twilight Tone
On a cold & rainy night One Mister Miller had a rare flight Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm Then the engine stopped to listen with him Play that beat, oh, oh Suddenly he heard this sound This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round Now he resides and plays trombone In the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight (Ooooooh, twilight) Hearin' the twilight (Hearin' the twilight)

I Won't Go Huntin' With You Jake (But I'll Go Chasin' Wimmin)
Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen
Performer(s): Stuart Hamblen
and multiple other artists
Oh, it's springtime in the mountains and I'm full of mountain dew Can't even read my catalog - like I used to do I'm a-settin' in that little shed that's right back of the house Here's comes old Jake with all the hounds; but he's gonna hear me shout
Oh, I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women So put them hounds back in the pens and quit your silly grinnin' Well, the moon is bright, and I'm half tight; my life is just beginnin' I won't go huntin' with you, Jake, but I'll go chasin' women
Let's go down to the meetin' house and wait till they start home Them gals that live on Possum Creek we'll always leave alone We'll run them down the corn rows, them sassy little misses We'll scare them pretty gals to death; we'll stop and throw 'em kisses
Now, go wash your face and comb your hair, 'cause it's durn near time to start But let me tell you 'fore you go, there's one that's got my heart Don't chase that gal with the yaller hair and wears a dress of green For that little gal belongs to me, I know she's past sixteen
Now I was headed for the general store, when a silly thing I seen They make 'em in the city - called a magazine I turned to page thirty-two, and look at what I found Them gals wear clothes that we ain't seen beneath them gingham gowns

Chorus Because she had kisses sweeter than wine She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine (Sweeter than wine)
Well I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life I begged and I pleaded like a natural man And then, whoops oh lordy, well she gave me her hand
Chorus
Well we worked very hard both me and my wife Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins
Chorus
Well our children they numbered just about four And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate I was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight
Chorus
Well now that I'm old and I'm a'ready to go I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain But then, whoops oh lordy, well I'd do it all again
Because she had kisses sweeter than wine She had, mmm kisses sweeter than wine
Twilight Time ((Finnish Version: Kun Hämärtää (Fredi) - 1977)) Composer(s): Artie Dunn - Al Nevins - Morty Nevins First release: The Three Suns - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time
Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun I count the moments darling till you're here with me Together at last at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue Here in the same and sweet old way I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold Each day I pray for evening just to be with you Together at last at twilight time
Here, in the afterglow of day, we keep our rendezvous beneath the blue Here in the sweet and same old way I fall in love again as I did then
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold Each day I pray for evening just to be with you Together at last at twilight time Together at last at twilight time

(Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me) (Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married, just you wait and see)
I got in my car and I drove like mad, till I reached Julie's place She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face All at once, I saw him there, sneaking up behind me, (Watch Out!) Then Julie yelled, "He's got a gun", and she stepped in front of me Suddenly, a shot rang out, and I saw Julie falling I ran to her, I held her close, when I looked down My hands were red, and here's the last words Julie said

Twilight Time Composer(s): Ray Thomas Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Twilight time to dream awhile In vales of deepening blue As fantasy strides over colourful skies Perform, disappearing from view
In twilight time Dream with me awhile
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase Of notes that are rich and so true An aerial display by the firefly brigade Dancing to tunes no-one knew
In twilight time Dream with me awhile
In twilight time Dream with me awhile
Building castles in the air Whistling to the wind As nature bows down her head See what tomorrow brings
Twilight time Dream with me awhile
Bats take to wing like puppets on string Prancing through cool evening air In a sightless glide, no reason to hide From a wave of the sun's blinding stare
I Won't Dance From the film "Roberta" (1935) Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Dorothy Fields; Jimmy McHugh Performer(s): Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists
Ginger: Think of what you're losing By constantly refusing To dance with me You'd be the idol of France with me
And yet you stand there And shake your foolish head rheumatically While I wait here so ecstatically You just look and say emphatically
Fred: Not this season There's a reason
I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, Madame, with you My heart won't let my feet do things they should do
You know what? You're lovely
Ginger: So what? I'm lovely...
Ginger: But oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
Ginger: Ah, but when you dance you're charming and you're gentle Especially when you do The Continental
Ginger: But this feeling isn't purely mental For heaven rest us I'm not asbestos And that's why...
I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance And if I hold you in my arms ... I won't dance
I won't cry anymore, now that you've left me I won't cry anymore, now that you're gone I've shed a million tears since we're apart But tears can never mend a broken heart
I won't sigh anymore, I'll just forget you And I'm closing the door of memories Though you're the one love that my arms are longin' for This is goodbye, I won't cry anymore
