Meet Me Where They Play The Blues Composer(s): Steve Allen; Sandy Gallop Performer(s): Andy Williams and various other artists
I got a heart thats broken hearted, how do I mend it? I got a cryin jack you started, how do I end it? But if youre feelin gloomy Come a-runnin to me Meet me where they play the blues
Hey, people have said theyve seen you dance in hideaway places Say, people have said you find romance in others embraces But if your mood is dreamy And you care to see me Meet me where they play the blues
Either flirt with a tear, are common round here And misery loves company, they say So I hang around till dawn While that saxophone wails on Hopin youll happen this way
Im getting tired of sippin wine, and watchin bubbles Why did I dream, get outa line, and wind up in trouble Mmm, but Honey, if youre learnin Theres a flame still burnin Meet me where they play the blues Blee beep, blee beep, blee bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, bee, Meet me where they play ... The blues
On Va Dire Que C'Est Moi Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Si un train n'est pas à l'heure Qu'un' princesse divorce et pleure J' culpabilis', c'est certain Même si j'sais qu' j'suis pour rien Tu vas dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui ne s'intéresse à rien? Stoïque comme un nain d'jardin Qui fait de l'ombre à ton bonheur? Une pierre à la place du cur On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi C'est sûr, j'suis pas sur le coup J'suis distrait, j'pense pas à tout Pas l'eau à tous les étages Même si j'atteins la limite d'âge Un ado daté Un rocker déprimé Ça t'arrange de m'voir comm' ça Bon... allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Instrumental C'est sûr, j'suis pas sur le coup J'suis discret, j'oublie surtout Les choses pouvant m'faire du mal J'tiens pas compte de mon signe astral Un ado daté Teenager attardé Ça t'arrange de m'voir comme ça Bon... allez on va dire que c'est moi Qui fuit comme l'eau dans la main D'vant l'angoisse du quotidien Qui s'dérobe devant les dames Quand ça tourne au psycho-drame? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui dit qui sait pas lire l'heure Qu'a peur d'un ordinateur? Qui trouve pas net l'Internet? Qui cherche encore sa planète? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi Qui se lève tous les matins Tournant l'dos à son destin Qui s'veut aimable et affable Qu'est mêm' pas un homme à femmes? On va dire qu' c'est moi Allez on va dire qu' c'est moi
A Christmas To Remember
Composer(s): Beverly Darnell - Chris Eaton - Amy Grant
Performer(s): Amy Grant
Twinkling lights A chill is in the air And carols everywhere Close your eyes, it's almost here Candles and cards And favorite movie scenes The smell of evergreen As special as it's always been And I have a dream or two Maybe they will come true
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight We'll wake up to a world of white It's gonna be a Christmas to remember Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole Always sentimental and don't you know that It's gonna be a Christmas to remember
I know it's true Time doesn't stand still Many things can change But we know some things never will The memories we share The songs we always sing The mystery of life The hopefulness this season brings And I have a dream or two Maybe they will come true
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight We'll wake up to a world of white It's gonna be a Christmas to remember Light up the fire, play some Nat King Cole Always sentimental and don't you know that It's gonna be a Christmas to remember
Meet Me Tonight In Dreamland Composer(s): Leo Friedman; Beth Slater Witson Performer(s): Judy Garland and various other artists
Meet me tonight in Dreamland Under the silv'ry moon Meet me tonight in Dreamland Where love's sweet roses bloom Come with the love light gleaming In your dear eyes of blue Meet me in Dreamland Sweet Dreamy Dreamland There let my dreams come true
Again.......
Meet me tonight in Dreamland Under the silv'ry moon Meet me tonight in Dreamland Where love's sweet roses bloom Come with the love light gleaming In your dear eyes of blue Meet me in Dreamland Sweet Dreamy Dreamland There let my dreams come true
Just sit back and listen one time through Let your memories take you back when times were gentler
OK Let's all sing again One last time
Meet me tonight in Dreamland Under the silv'ry moon Meet me tonight in Dreamland Where love's sweet roses bloom Come with the love light gleaming In your dear eyes of blue Meet me in Dreamland Sweet Dreamy Dreamland There let my dreams come true
A Different Kind Of Christmas
Composer(s): Pete Amato - Jud J. Friedman - Allan Rich - LeAnn Rimes
Performer(s): LeAnn Rimes; Kenny Rogers
The lights around the Christmas tree don't burn as bright And all around the world it isn't a silent night Outside I hear the voices sing the sweetest sounds of caroling But somehow there's a sadness in the song In our hearts we know that something's wrong
It's a different kind of Christmas In a different kind of world Even though it looks the same Everything has changed It's a different kind of Christmas
Children opening gifts with wonder and surprise I wish that I could still see through such innocent eyes I used to feel so safe inside, I had a place to run and hide In my Daddy's arms I felt secure No one can protect us anymore
It's a different kind of Christmas In a different kind of world Even though it looks the same Everything has changed It's a different kind of Christmas
Sending cards that talk of peace and love and cheer Oh, that's what we need if we'd only believe It would be a different kind of Christmas In a different kind of world Even though it looks the same Everything has changed It's a different kind of Christmas

Maman La Plus Belle Du Monde ((Adapted from: La Più Bella Del Mondo (by Marino Marini) - 1957)) Composer(s): Marino Marini - Fernand Bonifay Performer(s): Luis Mariano - 1958 and multiple other artists
Maman, Maman jolie Maman tu es la plus belle du monde Aucune autre à la ronde n'est plus jolie Tu as pour moi, avoue que c'est étrange Le visage d'un ange du paradis
Dans tous mes voyages J'ai vu des paysages Mais rien ne vaut l'image De tes beaux cheveux blancs
Tu es, Maman, la plus belle du monde Et ma joie est profonde Lorsqu'à mon bras Maman, tu mets ton bras
Maman tu es la plus belle du monde Car tant d'amour inonde tes jolis yeux Pour toi, c'est vrai, je suis malgré mon âge Le petit enfant sage des jours heureux
J'avais fait des rêves Où l'on m'aimait sans trève Mais les rêves s'achèvent Et toi seule m'est restée
Maman tu est la plus belle du monde Et lorsque tout s'effondre autour de moi Maman, toi tu es là!>
't Is Christmas now! 't Is Christmas now! When Cato's self would laugh And smoothing forth his wrinked brow Give liberty to quaff To dance and sing, to sport and play For every hour's a holiday
And for the twelve days, let them pass In mirth and jollity The time doth call each lad and lass That will be blythe and free To dance and sing, to sport and play For every hour's a holiday
And from the rising of the sun To the setting, cast off cares 't Is time enough when twelve is done To think of our affairs To dance and sing, to sport and play For every hour's a holiday

On This Night Of A Thousand Stars Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber Performer(s): Mark Ryan; and various other artists
Che: Now Eva Peron had every disadvantage You need if you're gonna succeed No money no cash no father no bright lights There was nowhere she'd been at the age of 15 As this Tango singer found out Augustin Magaldi Who has the distinction of being the first Man to be of use to Eva Duarte
Magaldi: On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to Heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays forevermore
In the glow of those twinkling lights We shall love through eternity On this night in a million nights Fly away with me
I never dreamed that a kiss could be as sweet as this Now I know that it can I used to wander alone without a love of my own I was a desperate man But all my grief disappeard and all the sorrow I feared Wasn't there anymore On that magical day when you first came my way Mi amor
On this night On this night On this night of a thousand stars Let me take you to Heaven's door Where the music of love's guitars Plays forevermore
Meet Me In St. Louis Composer(s): Kerry Mills; Andrew B. Sterling Performer(s): Judy Garland; Cinematic Creations; Guy Lombardo
When Louis came home to the flat He hung up his coat and his hat He gazed all around, but no wifey he found So he said "where can Flossie be at?" A note on the table he spied He read it just once, then he cried It ran, "Louis dear, it's too slow for me here So I think I will go for a ride"
"Meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Don't tell me the lights are shining any place but there We will dance the Hoochee Koochee I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair"
"Meet me in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair Don't tell me the lights are shining any place but there We will dance the Hoochee Koochee I will be your tootsie wootsie If you will meet in St. Louis, Louis Meet me at the fair"
The dresses that hung in the hall Were gone, she had taken them all She took all his rings and the rest of his things The picture he missed from the wall "What! moving!" the janitor said "Your rent is paid three months ahead" "What good is the flat?" said poor Louis, "Read that" And the janitor smiled as he read

Just smile for me and let the day begin You are the sunshine that lights my heat within I'm sure that you're an angel in disguise Come take my hand and together we will rise
On the wings of love Up and above the clouds The only way to fly Is on the wings of love On the wings of love Only the two of us Together flying high Flying high Upon the wings of love

On the wings of love Up and above the clouds The only way to fly Is on the wings of love On the wings of love Only the two of us Together flying high Together flying high Upon the wings of love
Meet Me In Bubble Land Composer(s): Casper Nathan; Joe Manne; Isham Jones
I've been dreaming dreams of childhood And the games we used to play When my heart knew only sunshine That was shining thro' the live-long day Now I know my constant dreaming Always takes me back to yesterday If your heart is yearning Join me in returning, come, and I will show you the way
You can make this wond'rous journey Go to Bubble Land tonight Only you must be real certain Your heart's beating in a way that's right Bubble land was made for lovers Those who'd leave their grieving far behind There is no despair there Pleasure's everywhere there, joy's the only thing that you'll find
Meet me tonight in Bubble Land So far away from Trouble Land Where there is lots of joy That is waiting for each girl and boy Hearts break like bubbles in the air But there we'll never know a care Let all our troubles fade like bubbles Meet me in Bubble Land
On The Wings Of A Nightingale Composer(s): Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Everly Brothers; Kim & The Hurmio; The Spongetones
When I love, I get a feeling Like I'm traveling through the sky On the wings of a nightingale As I ride, my head is reeling And I don't even wonder why On the wings of a nightingale I'll fly
I'll go land and sea I'll be thinking of you and me Couldn't ask for a better place to be Oh, I can feel something happening Oh, I can feel something happening Oh, I can feel something happening to me
So hold my hand, I got a feeling That the journey has just begun On the wings of a nightingale And if you like we'll fly together To the land of eternal sun On the wings of a nightingale of love
I'll go land and sea I'll be thinking of you and me Couldn't ask for a better place to be Oh, I can feel something happening Oh, I can feel something happening Oh, I can feel something happening to me
When I love, I get a feeling Like I'm traveling through the sky On the wings of a nightingale On the wings of a nightingale Oooh oooh oooh On the wings of a nightingale
On The Way Home Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield; and various other artists
When the dream came I held my breath with my eyes closed I went insane Like a smoke ring day When the wind blows Now I won't be back till later on If I do come back at all But you know me, and I miss you now
In a strange game I saw myself as you knew me When the change came And you had a Chance to see through me Though the other side is just the same You can tell my dream is real Because I love you, can you see me now
Though we rush ahead to save our time We are only what we feel And I love you, can you feel it now
Meditation Composer(s): Norman Gimbel; Antonio Carlos Jobim; Newton Mendonça Performer(s): Doris Day and various other artists
In my loneliness When you're gone and I'm all by myself And I need your caress I just think of you
And the thought of you holding me near Makes my loneliness soon disappear Though you're far away I have only close my eyes, and you are back to stay
I just close my eyes And the sadness that missing you brings Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes, I love you so, and that for me is all I need to know I will wait for you 'Til the sun falls from out of the sky, for what else can I do? I will wait for you Meditating how sweet life will be when you come back to me
On The Trail Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Ferde Grofé Performer(s): Frankie Laine; and various other artists
(Hee-hop, hee-hop, mule)
(Hop-hee-hop, hee-hop)
The stubbornest mule I ever saw He's tossin' his head, he's raisin' ol' Ned He's gettin' me all of a twitter That ornery critter, he goes
He must have been born in Arkansas Don't want to be led, he wants to be fed Why he'd make the Statue of Liberty Flibberty-gibberty
He's hankerin' for a hunk of straw He can't hear my song, he's joggin' along His footsteps that are beating, are tellin' him soon He'll be eatin' his fill (Clipperty-hopperti, clipperty-clop) (Clipperty-hopperti, clipperty-clop) (Clipperty-hopperti) Over the rim of the hill
We're on the trail The sun is low, the canyon is wide Hi-ee, hi-oo We sing a song as we ride
We're on the trail My mule and I, we haven't a care Hi-ee, hi-oo My heart is free as the air
Out on the ole painted desert I know a wonderful site Where we can build us a fire Where we can spend the night
The sun will rise And in the skies, the stars grow pale Hi-ee, hi-oo And we'll be back on the trail Be back on the trail, the trail, the trail
