Mickey Composer(s): Neil Moret; Harry Williams Performer(s): Jackie Gleason
Oh! what a shame they gave you the name of Mickey Where is the rose that grows in repose like you Lucky the birds and the bees you'd meet
Lucky the moss and the violet sweet When they were trod by your bare little feet There in the morning dew
How can you blame me when I pine Dearie, to change your name to mine
Mickey, pretty Mickey, with your hair of raven hue In your smiling so beguiling There's a bit of Killarney, bit of the Blarney, too Childhood in the wildwood Like a mountain flow'r you grew
Pretty Mickey, pretty Mickey Can you blame anyone for falling in love with you
You had a friend that used to defend and love you He was a dog, a mutt of a dog, it's true He used to follow you ev'rywhere Look in your eyes with a lovable stare
He was a lucky old dog to be there And he believed it too This is a promise true from me "I'll be as faithful to you, as he"
Mickey, pretty Mickey, with your hair of raven hue In your smiling so beguiling There's a bit of Killarney, bit of the Blarney, too Childhood in the wildwood Like a mountain flow'r you grew
Pretty Mickey, pretty Mickey Can you blame anyone for falling in love with you
Open Up Your Heart And Let The Sunshine In Composer(s): Stuart Hamblen Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney; and various other artists
Mommy told me something a little girl should know It's all about the Devil and I've learned to hate him so She says he causes trouble when you let him in the room He will never ever leave you if your heart is filled with gloom
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Smilers never lose and frowners never win So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
When you are unhappy, the Devil wears a grin But oh, he starts a-running when the light comes pouring in I know he'll be unhappy 'cause I'll never wear a frown Maybe if we keep on smiling he'll get tired of hangin' around
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Smilers never lose and frowners never win So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
If I forget to say my prayers the Devil jumps with glee But he feels so awful, awful, when he sees me on my knees So if you're full of trouble and you never seem to win Just open up your heart and let the sun shine in
So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Smilers never lose and frowners never win So, let the sun shine in, face it with a grin Open up your heart and let the sun shine in

Now Is The Time
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
Desire--The feeling so clear It sings in everything you hear Desire--The feeling you never lose It's always something new And it's waiting for you to follow through
We all have a song, life is the dance And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, the time is right We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight This is the night, tonight is the time Bring the dream to life and let it shine
Desire--Follows and leads the way Like night follows day Desire--It's right before your eyes No quesitons no surprise It's been waiting so long for you to decide
We all have a song, life is the dance And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, time is right We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight This is the night, tonight is the time Bring the dream to life and let it shine
All the fantasies we keep inside We'd love to live it but we don't know how Too late for yesterday, too early for tomorrow That means it's gotta be now
We all have a song, life is the dance And right or wrong we will all take the chance
Now is the time, time is right We've got no reason to wait let's do it tonight This is the night, tonight is the time Bring the dream to life and let it shine
This is the song, now is the time Alone the love is gone, together it's yours and mine This is the night, this is the song Feel the love again it's where we belong
Michelle Composer(s): Allen Collins; Ronnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
Michelle, little girl I need you baby more than the air I breathe My love for you grows stronger babe My words you must believe Well I need to see you laugh again and I want to see you smile Michelle, little girl I love you baby you're my only child
Michelle, little girl the pain for you is hurting me inside At night I think of you sometimes I lean my head and cry I need to see you laugh again and I want to see you smile Michelle, little girl I love you baby you're my only child
Michelle, little girl I need you baby more than the air I breathe My love for you grows stronger babe My words you must believe Well I need to see you laugh again and I want to see you smile Michelle, little girl I love you baby you're my only child
Open My Eyes Composer(s): Todd Rundgren Performer(s): The Nazz; and various other artists
Underneath your gaze I was found in The haze I'm wandering around in I am lost in the dark of my own room And I can't see a thing but the fire in your eyes Clear my eyes, make me wise Or is all I believe in lies I really don't know when or where to go And I can't see a thing 'til you open my eyes I've been told by some you'll forget me The thought doesn't upset me I am blind to whatever they're saying And all I can see is the fire in your eyes Can't believe that it's on your mind To leave me behind
Michèle English Title: Michelle Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): Robert Demontigny
Michèle, Michèle Toi et moi on est si bien ensemble Oh Michèle Michèle ma belle Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble I love you, I love you, I love you Et toute la journée Je ne pense qu'à toi En attendant l'heure où chaque jour Tu viens me chercher Michèle ma belle Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble, très bien ensemble I need you, I need you, I need you J'ai tant besoin de toi Je n'ai que ces mots-là Pour te faire comprendre Tout ce que j'ai en moi, oh Michèle I want you, I want you, I want you Je ne pense qu'à toi Pourtant les gens m'ont dit De me méfier de toi Car tu n'es pas ce que je crois Michèle, Michèle Toi et moi on est si bien ensemble Oh Michèle I will say the only words I know That you understand my Michèle
Open Arms Composer(s): Steve Perry; Jonathan Cain Performer(s): Journey; and various other artists
Lying beside you, here in the dark Feeling your heartbeat with mine Softly you whisper, you're so sincere How could our love be so blind We sailed on together We drifted apart And here you are, by my side
So now I come to you with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am, with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me Open arms
Living without you, living alone This empty house seems so cold Wanting to hold you Wanting you near How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back Turned night into day I need you to stay
So now I come to you with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am, with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me Open arms
Michèle Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien; M. Cywie Originally performed by: Gérard Lenorman
Tu avais à peine quinze ans Tes cheveux portaient des rubans Tu habitais tout près Du Grand Palais Je t'appelais le matin Et ensemble on prenait le train Pour aller, au lycée Michèle, assis près de toi Moi j'attendais la récré Pour aller au café Boire un chocolat Et puis t'embrasser
Un jour tu as eu dix-sept ans Tes cheveux volaient dans le vent Et souvent tu chantais Oh! Yesterday! Les jeudis après-midi On allait au cinéma gris Voir les films, de Marilyn Michèle, un soir en décembre La neige tombait sur les toits Nous étions toi et moi Endormis ensemble Pour la première fois
Le temps a passé doucement Et déchu le Prince Charmant Qui t'offrait des voyages Dans ses nuages On m'a dit que tu t'es mariée En avril au printemps dernier Que tu vis, à Paris
Michèle, c'est bien loin tout ça Les rues, les cafés joyeux Mêmes les trains de banlieue Se moquent de toi, se moquent de moi Michèle, c'est bien loin tout ça Les rues, les cafés joyeux Mêmes les trains de banlieue Se moquent de toi, se moquent de moi.... Se moquent de moi!
Opel
Composer(s): Roger Waters; Syd Barrett; Pete Jenner Performer(s): Syd Barrett; RPWL
On a distant shore, miles from land stands the ebony totem in ebony sand a dream in a mist of grey on a far distant shore...
The pebble that stood alone and driftwood lies half buried warm shallow waters sweep shells so the cockles shine...
A bare winding carcase, stark shimmers as flies scoop up meat, an empty way... dry tears... crisp flax squeaks tall reeds make a circle of grey in a summer way, around man stood on ground
I'm trying I'm trying to find you To find you
I'm living, I'm giving To find you To find you I'm living I'm living I'm trying, I'm giving
Ojos Españoles
(English Version: Spanish Eyes)
Composer(s): Bert Kaempfert
Performer(s): Jose Luis Martines Vesga
and multiple other artists
Son como el mar, como el azul del cielo y como el sol son del color, de un clavel que empieza a despertar son algo más que las estrellas al anochecer y ¡Olé¡ y ¡Olé!; los ojos de la española que yo amé
Yo fui feliz, mirando aquellos ojos de mi amor yo nunca vi, ni en el arco iris su color son algo más que estrellas al anochecer y ¡Olé¡ y ¡Olé!; los ojos de la española que yo amé ojos que nunca nunca olvidaré
Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were older You were looking like Picasso With a scar across your shoulder You were kneeling by the river You were digging up the bodies Buried long ago Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed you were a pilgrim On a highway out alone to find The mother of your children Who were still unborn and waiting In the wings of some desire Abandoned long ago Michelangelo
Were you there at Armageddon Was Paris really burning Could I have been the one to pull you From the point of no returning And did I hear you calling out my name Or was it forgotten long ago Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were riding On a blood red painted pony Up where the heavens were dividing And the angels turned to ashes You came tumbling with them to earth So Far below Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you lay dying In a field of thorn and roses With a hawk about you crying For the warrior slain in battle From an arrow driven deep inside you Long ago Michelangelo
Did you suffer at the end Would there be no one to remember Did you banish all the old ghosts With the terms of surrender And could you hear me calling out your name Well I guess that I will never know Michelangelo
Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were weeping And your tears poured down like diamonds For a love beyond all keeping And you caught them one by one In a million silk bandanas that I gave you long ago Michelangelo
Op De Purp'ren Hei Composer(s): Armand Preud'homme; Eugeen De Ridder Performer(s): Bob Benny; and various other artists
In de stille kempen Op de purperen hei Staat een eenzaam huisje Met een berk erbij
En een zomeravond In gedroom alleen Kwam ik ongewetend Langs dit huisje heen
Hoe schoon nog de wereld De zomerse hei Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij Hoe schoon nog de wereld De zomerse hei Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij
In het eenzamm huisje Zat een meisje ach Lijk hij nergens anders Ooit een meisje zag
Door het venster keek ze Mij verlegen toe Schoof 't gordijntje toe en Is maar opgestaan
Hoe schoon nog de wereld De zomerse hei Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij Hoe schoon nog de wereld De zomerse hei Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij
Maar wat heeft de liefde Ook hier niet verricht Want nu schuift 't gordijntje Nooit nog voor hem dicht
Door het open venster Dat men vroeger sloot Lach ik naar ons kindje Op haar moeder's schoot
Hoe schoon nog de wereld De zomerse hei Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij Hoe schoon nog de wereld De zomerse hei Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij Dat is hier op aarde de hemel voor mij

Har försökt att fånga bilden jag vill ha av dig Fast filmerna är många har ingen riktigt lyckats mig Bilderna saknar ju skärpa och stil Och gör inte rättvisa åt din profil En tanke når mig långt ifrån Jag slår mig ner vid min telefon
Michelangelo, kan du svara på Hur du gjorde dom, alla tavlor som blev historia sen Michelangelo, men så svara då Kan du komma hit, och ta med stafflit och måla av min vän
Om man kunde visa hela världen hur du ler Då skulle Mona-Lisa be om att få plockas ner Du skulle ta hennes plats som legend Med fräknar på näsan blir du lika känd Så mästaren nånstans ifrån Var snäll och svara i telefon Michelangelo...
