Falling In Love With Love Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Frances Langford; and various other artists
Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe Falling in love with love is playing the fool Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy Learning to trust is just for children in school
I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full I was unwise with eyes unable to see I fell in love with love, with love everlasting But love fell out with me
Oh, I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full I was unwise with eyes unable to see I fell in love with love, with love everlasting But love fell out with me
Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Julie Andrews & Jon Cypher and multiple other artists
Prince: Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you? Am I making believe I see in you a girl too lovely to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you? Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as beautiful as you seem?
Cinderella: Am I making believe I see in you a man too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?
Both: Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Falling in love again Never wanted to What am I to do? Can't help it
Love's always been my game Play it as I may I was born that way Can't help it
Men flock around me Like moths around a flame And if their wings burn I know I'm not to blame
Falling in love again Never wanted to What am I to do? Can't help it

California, Here I Come
Composer(s): Al Jolson - Bud De Sylva - Joseph Meyer
First recording/First release by: Al Jolson - 1924
Covered by multiple other artists
When the wintry winds are blowing and the snow is starting in to fall then my eyes turn west-ward knowing that's the place I love the best of all California , I've been blue, since I've been away from you I can't wait 'til I get going Even now I'm starting in to call Oh...
California, here I come right back where I started from Where Bowers of flowers bloom in the spring Each morning at dawning, birdies sing an' everything A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late" that's why I can hardly wait Open up that Golden Gate California here I come
Any one who likes to wander ought to keep this saying in his mind "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" of the good old place you leave behind When you've hit the train awhile, seems you rarely see a smile that's why I must fly out yonder, where a frown is mighty hard to find! Oh....
California, here I come right back where I started from Where Bowers of flowers bloom in the spring Each morning at dawning, birdies sing an' everything A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late" that's why I can hardly wait Open up that Golden Gate California here I come

The Actor Composer(s): Justin Hayward Performer(s): The Moody Blues
The curtain rises on the scene With someone shouting to be free The play unfolds before my eyes There stands the actor who is me
The sleeping hours takes us far From traffic, telephones and fear Put out your problems with the cat Escape until a bell you hear
Our reasons are the same But there's no-one we can blame For there's nowhere we need go And the only truth we know comes so easily
The sound I have heard in your hello Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see Ah, ah, ah
It's such a rainy afternoon No point in going anywhere The sounds just drift across my room I wish this feeling I could share
It's such a rainy afternoon She sits and gazes from her window Her mind tries to recall his face The feeling deep inside her grows
Our reasons are the same But there's no-one we can blame For there's nowhere we need go And the only truth we know comes so easily
The sound I have heard in your hello Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see The sound I have heard in your hello Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me Ah, ah, ah

Falling In And Out Of Love Composer(s): Craig Fuller Performer(s): Pure Prairie League
More than what I feel... Touchin' what is real... All our thoughts are reelin' round... Carolina's feelin' down... To-day Falling in and out of love with you... Falling in and out of love with you Don't know what I'm gonna do I keep falling in and out of love with you
I can see why you think you belong to me I never tried to make you think Or let you see one thing for your self But now your off with someone else and I'm alone You see I thought that I might keep you for my own Well I guess I was wrong
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do
Don't you think the time is right for us to find All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time And can't you see, which way we should turn together or alone I can never see what's right or what is wrong (And you take to long to tell me)
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do
Now it's come to what you want you've had your way And all the things you thought before just faded into gray And can you see, That I don't know if its you or if its me If its one of us I'm sure we'll both will see So take a good long look and tell me...
Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you For a while, maybe longer if I do (Longer if I do) (Repeat) I'd just keep... Falling in and out of love with you Falling in and out of love with you Don't know what I'm gonna do, I keep Falling in and out of love, with you
Accrington Pals Composer(s): Mike Harding Performer(s): Mike Harding
Smoky town where they were born Down in the valley, smoky little streets They were pals from childhood days Climbing trees and running through the fields And they all played together through the turning of the years Sharing their laughter, sharing all their fears The Seasons saw them growing and Seasons passing turned them round With the changing, changing, changing years Accrington Pals
Schooldays' end, the lads all went To work, some spinning, some weaving in the sheds On the land or down the pit Working hard to earn their daily bread. And they all went walking up old Pendle Hill On Sundays the larks sang high above the dales Little Willie Riley played his mandolin and sang They were laughing, they were smilingsinging then Accrington Pals
1916, came the call "We need more lads to battle with the Hun Lads of Lancashire, heed the call With God on our side, the battle will soon be won" So they all came marching to the beating of the drums Down from the fields and factories they come Smiling at the girls who Came to see them on their way They were marching, marching, marching away Accrington Pals
Blue sky shining on a perfect day A lark was singing, high above the Somme Brothers, pals and fathers lay Watching that sweet bird sing in the quiet of the dawn And they all went walking out towards the howling guns Talking and laughing, calmly walking on Believing in the lies that Left them dying in the mud And they're lying, lying, lying still Accrington Pals
Smoky town which heard the news Down in the valley, smoky little streets Houses quiet and curtains drawn All round the town a silent shroud of grief And the larks were singing still above old Pendle Hill The wind was in the bracken and the sun was shining still A lark was singing sweetly as The evening fell upon the Somme...
For Edward Parkinson, Bobby Henderson, Willie Clegg, Johnny Molloy, Norman Jones, Albert Berry, Willie Riley The Accrington Pals
California Soul
Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson
Performer(s): The 5th Dimension
and multiple other artists
Like a sound you hear That lingers in your ear But you can't forget From sundown to sunset It's all in the air You hear it everywhere No matter what you do It's gonna get a hold on your It's California soul, California soul
They say the sun comes up every morning And if you listen carefully The winds that ride on the high time Whistle in melody And so the people started to sing And that's how the surf gave birth untold It's California soul, California soul
When you hear the beat You wanna pat your feet And you've got to move cause It's really such a groove Puts a brand new thing in your mind And you can't go wrong Cause you're happy all day long It's California soul, California soul
They had the melody and the beat But it still doesn't seem complete Until they saw two lovers kissin They knew just what was missin So happy they were rockin and reelin Because that added that lovin feeling To California soul, California soul Like a sound you hear That lingers in your ear
The 3:10 To Yuma Composer(s): George Duning - Ned Washington Performer(s): Frankie Laine and multiple other artists
There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma The pounding of the wheels is more like a mournful sigh There's a legend and there's a rumour When you take the 3.10 to Yuma You can see the ghosts of outlaws go ridin' by (Ridin' by) In the sky (In the sky), way up high The buzzards keep circlin' the train While below the cattle are thirstin' for rain
It's also true they say on the 3.10 to Yuma A man may meet his fate For fate travels ev'rywhere Though you've got no reason to go there And there ain't a soul that you know there When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain Take that train (Take that train) Take that train
So when you take the train called the 3.10 to Yuma And leave the things you love You leave with a silent prayer (Silent prayer) Though you've got no reason to go there And there ain't a soul that you know there When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain Take that train Take that train

Falling Apart At The Seams Composer(s): Tony Macaulay Performer(s): Marmalade; Junior Campbell
Until you came, it felt like my world Was fallin' apart at the seams All of my childhood dreams were empty and meaningless Until we kissed it seemed like the rain Was turnin' my hopes into sand Ah, I was a yesterday man until I found you
It was as plain as the nose on my face That I was heading nowhere Then into my life came an angel of grace Sunlight in her hair Now love is the strangest emotion Cause just when I want you to stay Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away Don't turn me away
(Chorus)
Oooh...
I'm like a man in a mantle of black Who just saw the light. Who cast off the shadow when you gave him back The meaning to life Now love is the strangest emotion Cause just when I want you to stay Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away I want you to stay
1913 Massacre Composer(s): Woody Guthrie First recording by: Woody Guthrie - 1945 Covered by multiple other artists
Take a trip with me in nineteen thirteen To Calumet, Michigan, in the copper country I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall Where the miners are having their big Christmas ball
I'll take you through a door, and up a high stairs Singing and dancing is heard everywhere I will let you shake hands with the people you see And watch the kids dance round that big Christmas tree
You ask about work and you ask about pay They'll tell you that they make less than a dollar a day Working the copper claims, risking their lives So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives
There's talking and laughing and songs in the air And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere Before you know it, you're friends with us all And you're dancing around and around in the hall
Well, a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights To play the piano, so you gotta keep quiet To hear all this fun you would not realize That the copper-boss thug-men are milling outside
The copper-boss thugs stuck their heads in the door One of them yelled and he screamed, "There's a fire!" A lady, she hollered, "There's no such a thing! Keep on with your party, there's no such a thing"
A few people rushed, and it was only a few "It's only the thugs and the scabs fooling you" A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down But the thugs held the door and he could not get out
And then others followed, a hundred or more But most everybody remained on the floor The gun-thugs they laughed at their murderous joke While the children were smothered on the stair by the door
Such a terrible sight I never did see We carried our children back up to their tree The scabs outside still laughed at their spree And the children that died there were seventy-three
The piano played a slow funeral tune And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon The parents they cried and the miners they moaned "See what your greed for money has done"
California Revisited Composer(s): Dan Peek Performer(s): America
Heaven may be an answer If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky On your waters I see a strange reflection Rumor has it I'll see you when I die
Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California
In California you watch the shadow dancer Floating gently, gently on the sea In California you're such a strange romancer Come and see me when the world has set you free
Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California
Everyone I meet is from California There's dancin' in the streets in California
