Milk Train Composer(s): Tony Romeo Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
There was a morning train used to come on through When this sleepy town was alive And ev'ry Sunday we would come and see Some mighty fancy people arrive Ooohh, they arrived aboard the milk train (La-la-la-la-la-la la)
There was a well dressed lady from the city Used to always give me her smile And she looked so fine, she was sweet and kind She let me get to know her a while Ooohh, for a little while Back when the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't stop by here anymore (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Now I still live in that railroad shack And I wander down that rusty old track Like a lonely old-timer out of my mind Lookin' for that lady who was sweet and kind to me Back when the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Now the only thing to come on through Is a Jimmy-John now and then And I dream of the day she'll come back this way And let me get to know her again Ooohh, like way back when When the milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore (La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Ooohh, milk train used to rumble my shack Used to stop outside o' my door But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore (La-la-la-la-la-la-la) Ooohh, milk train ...
Miles In Memories Composer(s): Carl Story; Ernest Tubb Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Yes Ive got lots of miles, but lots of memories And I wouldnt set the miles back if I could 'Cause when ever I get blue I know exactly what to do Just re-travel all those miles in memories
You say that all those miles are showing on me Well Ill admit I had some rough ones way back when But for every mile there holds a story left untold Back there in my book of memories
'Cause Ive got lots of miles and lots of memories And I wouldnt set the miles back if I could 'Cause when ever I get blue I know exactly what to do Just re-travel all those miles in memories
Now as faces and places come before me Making up my full book of memories And I wouldnt ever dare One page to solitaire I might want to review them all someday
Yes Ive got lots of miles, but lots of memories And I wouldnt set the miles back if I could 'Cause when ever I get blue I know exactly what to do Just re-travel all those miles in memories
Our Guessing Game Composer(s): Ray Thomas Performer(s): The Moody Blues
Walking in the sand Thinking of things, adventures in my mind Of tall ships that sail Across the oceans wide They won't wait for me See how they glide away so gracefully And, with tomorrow, what will become of me?
They leave me so much to explain That's the start of our guessing game
There are times when I think I've found the truth There are times when I know that I'm wrong There are days when I try to hide my fears Bless the days when I'm feeling strong Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
Wonder why we try so hard? Wonder why we try at all? You wonder why the world is turning around In the end it won't matter at all
There are times when I think I've found the truth There are times when I know that I'm wrong There are days when I try to hide my fears Bless the days when I'm feeling strong Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
Standing in the town Looking at people counting their frowns Unhappy faces hurrying around So blind they cannot see All of the things The way life ought to be And, with tomorrow, what will they make of me?
It leaves me so much to explain That's the start of our guessing game
There are times when I think I've found the truth There are times when I know that I'm wrong There are days when I try to hide my fears Bless the days when I'm feeling strong Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
There are times when I think I've found the truth There are times when I know that I'm wrong There are days when I try to hide my fears Bless the days when I'm feeling strong Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
There are times when I think I've found the truth There are times when I know that I'm wrong There are days when I try to hide my fears Bless the days when I'm feeling strong Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
Our Delaware Composer(s): George B. Hynson; Donn Devine; Will M.S. Brown
Oh the hills of dear New Castle and the smiling vales between When the corn is all in tassel And the meadowlands are green Where the cattle crop the clover And its breath is in the air While the sun is shining over Our beloved Delaware
Oh our Delaware! Our beloved Delaware! For the sun is shining over our beloved Delaware Oh our Delaware Our beloved Delaware! Heres the loyal son that pledges Faith to good old Delaware
Where the wheat fields break and billow In the peaceful land of Kent Where the toiler seeks his pillow With the blessings of content Where the bloom that tints the peaches Cheeks of merry maidens share And the woodland chorus preaches A rejoiceing Delaware
Dear old Sussex visions linger Of the holly and the pine Of Henlopens Jeweled finger Flashing out across the brine Of the gardens and the hedges And the welcome waiting there For the loyal son that pledges Faith to good old Delaware
From New Castle's rolling meadows Through the fair rich fields of Kent To the Sussex shores hear echoes Of the pledge we now present Liberty and Independence We will guard with loyal care And hold fast to freedom's presence In our home state Delaware
Miles And Miles Of Texas Composer(s): Tommy Camfield; Diane Johnston Performer(s): Asleep At The Wheel; 5 Guys Named Moe; Bart Trotter
I was born in Louisiana down on the old bayou Raised on shrimp and catfish and Mammy's good gumbo I got that ramblin fever said goodbye to ma and pa I crossed the old Red River I saw miles and miles of Texas I'm gonna live there 'til I die I saw miles and miles of Texas I'm gonna live there 'til I die
I rode up in to Cowtown the cradle of the west Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best I met a Texas beauty got friendly with her pa I looked into her big blue eyes I saw miles and miles of Texas I'm gonna live there 'til I die I saw miles and miles of Texas I'm gonna live there 'til I die
I started taming broncos I made every rodeo Until I met a rough one his name was Devil Joe I grabbed on to his bridle to ride the old outlaw He threw me from the saddle I saw miles and miles of Texas I'm gonna live there 'til I die I saw miles and miles of Texas I'm gonna live there 'til I die
Milagre Do Povo Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; Gal Costa; Daniela Mercury
Quem é ateu E viu milagres como eu Sabe que os Deuses sem Deus Não cessam de brotar Nem cansam de esperar E o coração Que é soberano e que é senhor Não cabe na escravidão Não cabe no seu não Não cabe em si de tanto sim É pura dança e sexo e glória E paira para além da história Ojú Obá ia lá e via Ojú Obá ia Xangô manda chamar Obatalá guia Mamãe Oxum chora Lágrima alegria Pétala de Iemanjá Lansã Oiá ria Ojú Obá ia lá e via Ojú Obá ia Obá É no xaréu Que brilha prata luz do céu E o povo negro entendeu Que o grande vencedor Se ergue além da dor Tudo chegou Sobrevivente num navio Quem descobriu o Brasil Foi o negro quem viu A crueldade bem de frente E ainda produziu milagres De fé no estremo ocidente
Our Baby's Gone Composer(s): Herb Pedersen Performer(s): Herb Pedersen; Desert Rose Band
I put our little baby to bed last night She was sleeping real good and I tucked her in tight I looked at her once then I looked at her twice Her little legs are longer and I'm runnin' out of time The boys are gonna chase her I'll be standing in line Our baby's gone
Up at 7:30 she comes into our room She wants to make her breakfast but she can't find her spoon We wake up and try to shake the sandman out of our eyes She's already got her clothes on much to our surprise She did it all herself and we realize Our baby's gone
Three years old and she's queen of the world Humpty Dumpty's falling down Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border Oh, mama what do we do now
Playing outside her little face to the wind The hours go by her strength is wearin' thin She doesn't call for daddy she's a big girl now Her mama looks in wonder and she don't know how How our baby girl escaped us no more cuddlin' now Our baby's gone
Three years old and she's queen of the world Humpty Dumpty's falling down Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border Oh, mama what do we do now Our baby's gone Our baby's gone
Mil Perdões Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque and various other artists
Te perdôo Por fazeres mil perguntas Que em vidas que andam juntas Ninguém faz Te perdôo Por pedires perdão Por me amares demais
Te perdôo Te perdôo por ligares Pra todos os lugares De onde eu vim Te perdôo Por ergueres a mão Por bateres em mim
Te perdôo Quando anseio pelo instante de sair E rodar exuberante E me perder de ti Te perdôo Por quereres me ver Aprendendo a mentir (te mentir, te mentir)
Te perdôo Por contares minhas horas Nas minhas demoras por aí Te perdôo Te perdôo porque choras Quando eu choro de rir Te perdôo Por te trair
Oui, La Mer A Bercé Tant D'Amour Dans Le Creux De Ses Vagues Le Temps D'Un Ãté
Oui, La Mer A Bercé Tant D'Amour Dans Le Creux De Ses Vagues Le Temps D'Un Été Dans Le Creux De Ses Vagues Le Temps D'Un Été Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Tu t'en vas ma pauvre amourette Tu t'en vas, ne s'aimait-on pas?
{Refrain:} Car la mer a bercé tant d'amour Dans le creux de ses vagues Le temps d'un été Mais l'été en partant a laissé sur le sable mouillé Tant de rêves oubliés
Un bout de ciel et un coin de dune Un goût de sel sur ta peau brune Et l'été qui nous ensorcelle En été, méfie toi la belle {au Refrain}
On cueille l'été à fleur d'insouciance Jamais l'été au chagrin ne pense Mais tu pleureras petite fleur des plages Quand l'été chantera sur notre rivage {au Refrain}
Car la mer a bercé tant d'amour Dans le creux de ses vagues Le temps d'un été Mais l'été en partant a laissé sur le sable mouillé Tant de rêves oubliés
Mil Etter Mil Composer(s): Eide First performance by: Jahn Teigen - 1978
Hvil deg nå, du er sliten Hvil din kropp før din kraft ebber ut Vann pipler inn i dine sko Du vandrer i regnet
Mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil
Søk mot meg, hvis du lengter Rett ditt sinn mot et annet sted Kom hit hvor jeg er, hvor solen er nær Du må ikke gå
Mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil
Og det er langt å gå Det er lengselen som driver deg Mot et lys som du kan se men ikke jeg Tenk deg om nå Hvor farer du hen Du har vandret alt for lenge
Mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil
Tenk deg om nå Hvor farer du hen Du har vandret alt for lenge
Mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil etter mil
J'ai tant cherché de choses vaines Que je n'ai rien trouvé de bon J'ai tant voulu sonder mes peines Que je n'ai pu toucher le fond En liant des bouquets de rêves J'ai laisser ma vie ce faner Le monde entier forme des rêves Sans y trouver de vérité
Mais la nuit, mais la nuit Mais la nuit est faite pour l'amour Mais la nuit, mais la nuit Mais la nuit est faite pour l'amour Le jour est fait pour travailler Se fatiguer se surmener le jour Mais la nuit, mais la nuit Est faite pour l'amour
J'ai vécu pour celui que j'aime Sans me soucier de l'avenir Donnant le meilleur de moi-même Ne recueillant que souvenirs J'ai tendu les mains vers les anges Qui dans les coeurs mettent le ciel Parfois trop bleu, souvent étrange Baisers de fleurs, lèvres de miel
Mais la nuit, mais la nuit Mais la nuit est faite pour l'amour Mais la nuit, mais la nuit Mais la nuit est faite pour l'amour Le jour est fait pour travailler Se fatiguer se surmener le jour Mais la nuit, mais la nuit Est faite pour rêver d'amour
Mijn Schoolgaande Jeugd Performer(s): Raymond Van Het Groenewoud
Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd Oh heerlijke tijd was dat Ah, het deed m'n verstand zoveel deugd Dat ik mij wou verzuipen in bad Al die vriend'like meesters De zon op het plein De leerlingen met bruine boekentas Ach hoe licht was m'n hart in die tijd Hoezeer kon ik iedereen haten Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd Dan schiet de weemoed mij in het hart
Ach hoe leerzaam was heel die tijd Ik zou niet weten wat Tenzij die enorme rottrap van de leraar tekenen Die mij nooit tekenen gaf En de proppen die ik mocht rapen van 't plein Als ik dan ook Een klein kwartiertje vrij had En de ferme greep van de prefect Waarbij de botten kraakten Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd Dan schiet ontroering mij in het hart
Daar gaat de bel van ringelingeling 'k Wou dat ik de lucht inging rijen rijen twee aan twee Best van al gedwee Binnenstromen in de muf Muffe klas alwaar ik suf Zure zweters, dat doet deugd 't Lot van onze jeugd
Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd De glimlacht op het gelaat De selectie wie deugt en niet deugt De ouders vertdrietig en kwaad Ah, wij hebben geen kind om trots op te zijn De kennissen : o wee, hun vragen doen pijn Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd Dan zg ik tegen m'n peuters "Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd Dan schiet de vreugde mij in het hart"...
Oughta Be A Law Composer(s): Dann Penn; Gary Nicholson Performer(s): Lee Roy Parnell; Bruce Channel
Oughta be a law Oughta be a law ya'll Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way
There oughta be a law Oughta be a law ya'll Yes, oughta be a law against anybody walking that way
The way she moves is a moving violation It just ain't right what she's doing to me She walked by and stole my attention You know it makes me want to lock the girl up And throw away the key
There oughta be a law Oughta be a law ya'll Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way
Driving home she turned me around I had to make the block come back and check it out again Blood red dress and dangerous curves When she flashed her smile at me it threw me into a spin
Oughta be a law Oughta be a law ya'll Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way
She's stopping traffic up and down the street Making a wreck of every man she meets Somebody ought to go call the police She's disturbing the peace
Oughta be a law oughta be a law ya'll Yes, oughta be a law against anybody walking that way
She ought to get a citation For all the excitation Go before the judge and jury For causing such a fury
There ought to be some kind of law ya'll There ought to be some kind of law ya'll
Oublie Loulou Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
J'étais amoureux fou D'une demoiselle Loulou C'était une obsession J'en perdais la raison Je n'avais plus d'appétit Je ne dormais plus la nuit Et tous mes amis Me disait ceci:

Je vivais un cauchemar J'en avais le cafard Effroyables moments Ou je claquais des dents Et tout autour de moi Je croyais entendre des voix Ces voix jour et nuit Me disais ceci:
Oublie oublie Loulou Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou Oublie-la donc Oublie, oublie Loulou Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou Oublie la-donc Si tu ne le veux pas Tu ne le peux pas Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!

Mijn Oma Composer(s): Benatar; Boduin Performer(s): Ann Christy
Het was een heel groot huis, voornaam Een oude dame voor het raam Zulke mensen zie je vandaag niet meer En ze was de laatste, 't was m'n oma
Ik zie je nog wuiven en er kwamen duiven Vlak langs je raam, ze kwamen om eten Ik hoor je nog roepen, 'k viel van alle stoepen Dat je al zo oud was kon ik niet weten
Er is een tijd van komen en gaan Dat zei je altijd Maar ik kon niet weten dat alles zo heel snel gaat
Er lagen altijd snoepjes klaar Je droeg zo'n oude kam in 't haar En je vond de sprookjes zelf uit voor mij 'k Wist niet beter, dat ging nooit voorbij, oma
Hoe je zat te wachten, alleen met je gedachten Beelden van vroeger of nog van heden Kleine witte handen die nergens meer belangden Dan in je schoot, dat zachte verleden
Hoe zou ik worden als het mijn beurt is Zou ik zo mooi zijn Maar 'k kan het niet geloven dat alles zo snel gaat
Ik zie je nog wuiven en er kwamen duiven Vlak langs je raam, ze kwamen om eten Ik hoor je nog roepen, 'k viel van alle stoepen Dat je al zo oud was kon ik niet weten
Er is een tijd van komen en gaan Dat zei je altijd Maar ik kon niet weten dat alles zo heel snel gaat
