Oh What A Wonderful Day (Hey Pierre) Composer(s): Ron Dante Performer(s): Abrahamm & Strauss
Hey Pierre Look at you Sitting there Like you do Watching clouds All day long Singing such a silly song

Oh What A Beautiful Dream Composer(s): By Dunham; Joe Hooven; Marilyn Hooven Performer(s): Doris Day
Stardust started falling You should have seen the moon The moon was like a red balloon There were clouds of pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
We landed on a building a thousand stories high We sat and watched the world roll by Baby stars were all a gleam What a beautiful dream
The world seemed empty of people The air so pure and clean It was the most fantastic place I've ever seen I know I heard a choir and distant church bells chime
The bells were ringing all the time Wedding cake and pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
I know I heard a choir and distant church bells chime The bells were ringing all the time Wedding cake and pink ice cream What a beautiful dream
Oh what a beautiful dream Have some pink ice cream
Oh Well Composer(s): Peter Green Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac; and various other artists
I can't help it, 'bout the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty, and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to
Now when I talked to God, I knew he'd understand He said "Stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to"
Oh Very Young Composer(s): Cat Stevens Performer(s): Cat Stevens; Susan Egan; David West
Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while And though your dreams may toss and turn you now They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans Denim Blue fading up to the sky And though you want him to last forever You know he never will (You know he never will) And the patches make the goodbye harder still
Oh very young What will you leave us this time There'll never be a better chance to change your mind And if you want this world to see a better day Will you carry the words of love with you Will you ride the great white bird into heaven And though you want to last forever You know you never will (You know you never will) And the goodbye makes the journey harder still
Oh very young What will you leave us this time Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while Oh very young What will you leave us this time
Oh Urania (Take Me Away) Composer(s): Andrew Gold Performer(s): Andrew Gold
One hundred million billion stars up in the sky Each one looks so beautiful reflected in your eyes I wonder if there could be life up there A perfect world evolving anywhere
Down here the people have such problems on their hands Nothing to believe in and fear divides the land Can it be so unhappy everywhere? Is there a place where everybody cares?
Oh Urania... Take me with you Oh... Take me away
One hundred million billion stars up in the sky Each one looks so beautiful reflected in your eyes I wonder if there could be life up there A perfect world evolving anywhere
Oh Urania... Take me with you Oh... Take me away
Uh...
Oh Urania... Take me with you Oh... Take me away
Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away) Oh Urania... Take me away (Take me away)
Oh That's Good, No That's Bad Composer(s): DeWayne; Richard Blackwell Performer(s): Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs; Nine Pound Hammer
(Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!
Not long ago I was walking down the street When a woman in a car knocked me off my feet (Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!
My insurance paid me a lot of dough More money than I'd seen in a year's payroll (Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!
My doctors' bills is where my money went And all I had left was a very bad limp (Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!
'Cause the way I walked got me a role As the marshall's partner on a TV show Pretty young actresses started hanging 'round And every night we'd do the town
(Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!
I ended up back in a hospital bed 'Cause my horse fell on my bad leg (Ohhhhh, that's bad!) No, that's good!
'Cause just when I was feeling my worst I fell in love with a beautiful nurse (Ohhhhh, that's good!) No, that's bad!
'Cause I found out she was the doctor's wife Now I'll be in a wheelchair the rest of my life 'Cause no matter how I pleaded and begged He operated on my good leg
Oh So Many Years Composer(s): Frankie Bailes Performer(s): The Everly Brothers; and various other artists
All these many years I've loved you no one has ever known No one has ever known but you alone I've kept it locked inside my heart and smiled through all my tears My darling I have loved you Oh so many years
Each night within my lonely room I cried dear over you and prayed to God that things would turn out right But when the dawn of day appears I brush away my tears My darling I have loved you Oh so many years
I'll go on pretending that my life is all so gay and happy dear without you by my side When all the time my heart is longing just to have you near My darling I have loved you Oh so many years
Maybe fate will lead us down a path where we will meet again and then we'll both be free to love anew Then one sweet kiss from your dear lips will banish all my fears My darling I have loved you Oh so many years
Oh No, Not My Baby Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King Performer(s): Manfred Mann; and various other artists
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby Not my girl"
When my friends told me you had someone new I didn't believe a single word was true I told them all I had faith in you I just kept on sayin'
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby She don't go with other guys & I don't think she would tell me lies" My mama told me when rumors spread There's truth somewhere & I should use my head But I didn't listen to a word she said I kept right on sayin'
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby She's not like these other girls, you see & I believe she's in love with me Oh no no no no no, not my girl"
Well, you might have had a last-minute fling But I am sure it didn't mean a thing 'Cause yesterday you accepted my ring & now I'm glad that I just kept on sayin'
"Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby Oh no, not my baby; oh no, not my sweet baby Not my girl, not my girl"
Oh No Composer(s): Lionel Richie Performer(s): The Commodores
I want you To want me I'm goin' crazy Knowin' he will be your lover tonight And when he comes, I'll let you go I'll just pretend that you walked out the door Oh no I can't sleep Oh no I'm goin' crazy with love Over you...

Oh honey Oh sugar
Oh no I can't sleep anymore baby Oh no I can't think anymore baby Oh no I'm goin' crazy with love Over you.....

Oh Mr. Dream Man (Please Let Me Dream Some More) Composer(s): Jimmie V. Monaco Performer(s): Ada Jones
Talk about your funny dreams I had one of them, it seems And it made me feel so goody, goody 'T wasn't sad Nothing bad Just about someone that I could love If this dream does not come true Then I know what I will do I will kneel down on my knees and pray until I dream and dream and this I'll say
I'd be satisfied with life Just to be his little wife I would and squeeze and tease and please him Night and day Till he'd say: "You're the one that I've been looking for" Oh, I wish he would be mine I would love him all the time! Then I know I'd be so happy, happy No more would I pray and need to say
Oh, Mister Dream Man please let me dream some more Just like the dream I had the night before I dreamt about a lovin' man, he was so sweet! And when he started lovin' me, my heart began to beat And when he kissed me H-m-m-m-m-m! He made me ask for more He's a prize I idolize his great big dreamy dark brown eyes Oh, Mister Dream Man I want to dream some more
Hoy viene a mi la damisela soledad con pamela, impertinentes y botón de amapola en el oleaje de sus vuelos Hoy la voluble señorita es amistad y acaricia finalmente el corazón con su más delgado pétalo de hielo
Por eso hoy gentilmente te convido a pasear por el patio, hasta el florido pabellón de aquel árbol que plantaron los abuelos Hoy el ensueño es como el musgo en el brocal dibujando los abismos de un amor melancólico, sutil, pálido cielo
Viene a mí, avanza viene tan despacio viene en una danza leve en el espacio
Cedo, me hago lacio y ya vuelo, ave Se mece la nave lenta como el tul en la brisa suave niña del azul
Oh melancolía, novia silenciosa íntima pareja del ayer Oh melancolía, amante dichosa siempre me arrebata tu placer Oh melancolía, señora del tiempo beso que retorna como el mar Oh melancolía, rosa del aliento dime quién me puede amar
Oh Me Oh My, Goodbye Composer(s): Martin Duiser; Wally Tax; Dahmen Performer(s): Champagne
Hmm, ja wir waren zu jung deshalb blieb es ein Traum Und trotzdem war es schön ein Stück mit dir zu geh'n Ja wir waren zu jung deshalb blieb es ein Traum Oh me oh my, goodbye oh me oh my, goodbye
Es ist lange her, wir waren siebzehn und wir waren beide so verliebt Du fühltest wie ich und wolltest nur mich Das stand dir im Gesicht Und ich war für dich dein erstes Mädchen und du warst für mich mein erster Mann So fing es an, damals mit uns ich glaubte fest daran
Es blieb nur ein Traum denn wir waren zu jung Oh me oh my, goodbye oh me oh my, goodbye Hmm, ja wir waren zu jung deshalb blieb es ein Traum Und trotzdem war es schön ein Stück mit dir zu geh'n Ja wir waren zu jung deshalb blieb es ein Traum Oh me oh my, goodbye oh me oh my, goodbye
Eines Tages trennten sich die Wege Damals hat es mir sehr weh getan Trotzdem ist es schön, dich wiederzuseh'n musst du auch bald schon geh'n
