Feel The Passion Composer(s): Shpëtim Saraçi - Sokol Marsi First performance: Aurela Gaçe - 2011
Feel my heart, feel the words beat low I sing my song and the echo flows And wherever I go, I just want you to know You're the blood in my veins and the love in my soul
You are my wave rippling over sea You dry my tears and you make me grieve But wherever I go, I just want you to know My moment in time, oh sweet song of mine, eh...
I'm like an eagle in the open sky I'll never land, I'm flying high
Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion Love's the message shining through, a chain reaction It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...
And when I feel that I thirst for you I dab my lips with your morning dew But wherever I go, I just want you to know Sweet song, live forever and I'll live with you, eh...
I'm like an eagle in the open sky I'll never land, I'm flying high
Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion Love's the message shining through, a chain reaction It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...
(Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion) (Love's the message shining through, I'm free to fly) Zot, qe këngën ma ke fal, më lerë të ndarë Nuk ka ngjyrë e nuk ka fjalë, muret s'e mbajnë It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...
(Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion) Yeah...
Checkin' On My Baby
Composer(s): Junior Wells
Performer(s): Buddy Guy & Junior Wells
and multiple other artists
Checkin' on my baby, see what she puttin' down So many days and nights I been out of town I wouldn't call home, and I wouldn't even write I bought me a plane and flew back the same night
Checkin' on my baby, find out what she puttin' down Checkin' up on my baby, find out what she puttin' down So many nights and days I been out of town
When as a little girl, my grandma told me That I could be just anything I wanted to When as a little girl, my grandma told me That I could be just anything I wanted to
She said that Everything I work for, everything I wish for Everything I look for, it is right in front of me Everything I work for, everything I wish for Everything I look for, it is right in front of me
And she said ah Haba haba hujaza kibaba Haba haba hujaza kibaba Haba haba hujaza kibaba Haba haba hujaza kibaba
When as a little girl, my grandma told me That it's the little things in life that's gon' make me happy When as a little girl my grandma told me That it's the little things in life that's gon' make me happy
She said that Little by little fills up the measure Don't ever give up, keep on moving Little by little fills up the measure Don't ever give up, keep on moving
Checkers was the nervy fellow's name Who picked no winners in the racing game Until his sweetheart picked the winning horse And rode to fame and fortune on Remorse He played the game and won out in the end And here is what he told me like a friend
From the photo play you will observe Fortune comes to those who most deserve When Checkers' fate seemed but an idle guess Love took the mount and rode it to success Your horse may balk and leave you at the start You're sure to win whenever you lead a heart
Life is like a game of checkers, just a game we play Every move we make means loss or gain Like a jockey in the racing game some are driven to a corner throw their stakes away Only love can lift their crosses Make them all forget their losses Life is like a game of checkers Every one must play
Rainbow Composer(s): Russ Hamilton Performer(s): George Hamilton IV
Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow
I'm saving my money to buy you a rainbow A rainbow, to fit on your finger And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
When we go walking side by side in the moonlight We count the stars as we go strolling by Maybe one day we'll own those beautiful diamonds That glisten like the teardrops from your eyes
You know how I feel on a moment like this When hand in hand, when we reminisce Your eyes seem to glow when you whisper low I really love you
I'm saving my money to buy you a rainbow A rainbow, to fit on your finger And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon
And after I've gone and bought you the rainbow I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow
I'm through with love hangovers It's best that I stay sober No rolling in the clover No Gretna Green trip over No honeymoon in Paris I only feel embarrassed For the cool cats The charmed kittens Both smitten by the love songs That he's written Caught in the sights Of a deadly sniper The magic piper of love The magic piper of love Of love, of love
My girlfriend, she go blotto Of cunnings and his grotto It turns out he's a dirty old man The nice place that I want to be Is sat up on this Christmas tree While playing these games of Catch as catch can 'Cause he's a sweet talker A silent stalker All the savvy of a street walker More deadly than a horned viper The magic piper of love The magic piper of love Of love, of love
He's a heart breaker A mover and a shaker The magic piper of love
It's kind of hard to swallow You know you've gotta follow The magic piper of love
'Cause he's a city slicker An expert politic-er The magic piper of love
Of love, of love Of love, of love Of love, of love
Check Yourself
Composer(s): Al Bryant - David English - Berry Gordy Jr. - Otis Williams
Performer(s): The Temptations
and multiple other artists
Otis (& then Melvin): By and by, you knew that you make me cry (By and by, knew you'd make me cry) And my love for you will never die (My love will never, never die) But I had to find out on my own
(Check yourself, check yourself)
Paul: Aww, that's what they told me (Check yourself, check yourself) I paid no mind (Check yourself, check yourself) I kept on breaking hearts (Check yourself, check yourself) All down the line (Check yourself, check yourself)
Sometimes you just got to lose That's when you pay your dues I guess I was a fool, I guess I was a fool To think that... you'd stayed so true
Aww, I really played in the game (Check yourself, check yourself) I'd always win (Check yourself, check yourself) Now the tables turn (Check yourself, check yourself) And I'm on the losing end (Check yourself, check yourself)
Oh don't, feel sorry I had it coming, it's true 'Cause I'm losing, yes, I'm losing, I'm losing you
Before I go, I'd like for you to know You've had my heart from the very start But there's one more thing, before we part And that's I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart
Aww, I'm on my sad way (Check yourself, check yourself) Because I know I'd lost your love (Check yourself, check yourself) I'll kick it, like a pass (Check yourself, check yourself)
But I'll be thinking of.... The good times (The good times) The bad times (The bad times) But good or bad, happy or sad Of memories (Memories) Sweet, sweet memories (Memories) Aww, memories... are all I have
Aww, that's what they told me (Check yourself, check yourself) That's what they told me (Check yourself, check yourself) That's what they... what they told me (Check yourself, check yourself) Hmmm...
Well, didn't it rain children God's gonna send new orders from Zion He's good raise his heaven up higher It's gonna rain
Well stop! Great God, stop still and listen My God walked down by the briny sea Beheld the evil of the sinful Man Declared that he would destroy the land
He spoke to Noah, Noah stopped He said, Noah I want you to build an ark And I want you to build it big and strong Build it three hundred cubits along Thirty high and fifty wide Cause it's got to stand that rain and tide
Well, rain children God's gonna send new orders from Zion He's good raise his heaven up higher It's gonna rain
Well, after God told him what to do Noah began to cut and hew The ringing of the saw cried "Judgement" The ringing of the hammer cried "Sinner repent"
A hundred years he hammered and sawed Building the Ark by the Grace of God After the foundation was laid He hewed the timber and the Ark was made
Lord, let it rain Behold the Ark is made
Well he called in the animals two by two The ox, the camel, and the kangaroo Well they called in Japeth, Ham and Shem And God began to flood the land
He raised his hands to heaven on high He knocked the sun, the moon from the sky Shook the mountains around the sea And he hitched his reins to the chariot wheel Stepped on the land and stood on the shore And declared that time would be no more
My Lord had to wait until the float and the Ark did rock And Noah couldn't find nowhere to dock My God spoke and he whispered low Showed old Noah where he wanted him to go
He said, "Lookit here, Noah, the rain's done stopped And I want you to land on the mountaintop" He showed old Noah a rainbow sign Said it won't be a rain but fire next time
The Mad Hatter's Song Composer(s): Robin Williamson Performer(s): The Incredible String Band
Oh seekers of spring how could you not find contentment In a time of riddling reasons in this land of the blind By the joke of fate alone it's sure that as the loved hand leaves you You clutch for the slip-stream, the realness to find
But do what you like, do what you like, do what you like do what you like, do what you like, do what you can do what you can, live till you die My poor little man For Jesus will stretch out his hand no more
But in the south there's many a waving tree Oh would that musky fingers move your pain In the warm south winds the lost flowers bloom again
And if you cried, you know you'd fill a lake with tears Still wouldn't turn back the years Since the city has took you Mad Hatter is on my mind
So sad, sad to see the way it grew Those other people that I knew That have either fell or faltered Mad Hatter is on my mind
And you must have to see clear some time
Prometheus the problem child still juggling with his brains Gives his limping leopard's visions to the miser in his veins Within the ruined factory is the normal soul insane As he sets the sky beneath his heel And learns away the pain
But I am the archer the lover of laughter And mine is the arrowed flight
I am the archer, and my eyes yearn after the unsullied sight Born of the dark waters of the daughters of night Dancing without movement after the clear light Oh Perithian fate be kind in the rumbling and trundling rickshaw of time Hooked by the heart to the king fisher's line I will set my one eye for the shores of the blind
Cheatin' On You
Composer(s): Jon Cleary
Performer(s): Taj Mahal; Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen
It's the end to all my high jinks It's the end to all my capers Sort of a three-way story The kind you'd read about in the Sunday papers

Oh, I been cheatin' on you I been cheatin' on you Been cheatin' on you with somebody's Been cheatin' on me
Thought I was Jimmy Slick (yeah, I thought that) Thought I was Charlie Cool (thought that too) But I'm just Sammy Stupid My friends call me Freddy Fool
Wooooo, Cupid played a trick on me Turned the duper into the duped I'm so surprised to find my slice on the side Been eatin' the forbidden fruit
Oh, I been cheatin' on you I been cheatin' on you I been cheatin' on you with somebody's Been cheatin' on me
Wooooo, Cupid played a trick on me Turned the duper into the duped I'm so surprised to find my slice on the side Been eatin' the forbidden fruit
I been cheatin' on you I been cheatin' on you I been cheatin' on you with somebody's Been cheatin' on me
Baby, Baby been cheatin' on you Cheatin' on you I been cheatin' on you Been cheatin' on you with somebody's Been cheatin' on me
Cheatin' on you with somebody's Been cheatin' on me Cheatin' on you with somebody's Been cheatin' on me Cheatin' on you with somebody's Been cheatin' on me
Rain, Rain Go Away Composer(s): Noel Regney; Gloria Shayne Performer(s): Bobby Vinton
I can still remember When you moved in next door I brought you some choc'late From the corner candy store When it started raining You started crying too That was the first time I sang this song to you
Rain rain go away Come again some other day Rain rain go away Bring my love a sunny day
We grow up together And as the years went by Ev'rybody knew that we were Sweethearts you and I Through many april showers I held your hand in mine Between the raindrops We sang time after time
Rain rain go away Come again some other day Rain rain go away Bring my love a sunny day
I went away to college You said you'd wait for me Then I got your letter Asking me to set you free Tomorrow you'll be maried There's nothing I can do But wish you sunshine Now and your whole life through
Rain rain go away Tomorrow is her wedding day Rain rain go away Bring my love a sunny day
The Lusty Month Of May Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe Performer(s): Julie Andrews and multiple other artists
Tra la, it's May, the lusty Month of May That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear
It's May, It's May, that gorgeous holiday When every maiden prays that her lad will be a cad It's mad, it's gay, alive, a lust display Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks Everyone makes divine mistakes The Lusty Month of May
Whence this fragrance wafting through the air? What sweet feelings does it's scent transmute? Whence this perfume floating everywhere? Don't you know, it's that dear forbidden fruit
It's May, the lusty month of May That darling month when everyone throws self-control away It's time to do a wretched thing or two And try to make each precious day one you'll always rue
It's May, it's May, the month of "Yes, you may" The time for every frivolous whim, proper or im- It's wild, it's gay, depraved in every way The birds and bees with all of their vast amorous past Gaze at the human race aghast The Lusty Month of May
Tra la, it's May, the lusty Month of May That lovely month when everyone goes blissfully astray Tra la, it's here, that shocking time of year When tons of wicked little thoughts merrily appear
It's May, it's may, the month of great dismay when all the world is brimming with fun, wholesome or un- It's mad, it's gay, alive a lust display Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks Everyone makes divine mistakes The Lusty Month of May
Cheatin' On The Sandman
Composer(s): Sid Carris - Bill McCrystal
Performer(s): Spike Jones
Cheatin' on the sandman, makin' love to you List'nin' to the band man play his song so blue Burgers at the drive-in, parkin' by the sea Makin' love and dreamin', not a soul to see And Honey, `s we drove through deserted streets Dark with night's heavenly bloom We'd stop by the roadside to kiss Then to drive on too soon Cheatin' on the sandman, fun when I knew you Now I'm a lonely blue man missin' makin' love to you
Rain Sometimes Composer(s): Arthur Hamilton Performer(s): Matt Monro; and various other artists
Rain sometimes Money down the drain, sometimes Reason to complain, sometimes That's how it'll be But there'll be something, sometimes Lobster flown from Maine, sometimes We'll ride the gravy train, sometimes Just you wait and see
We may be stranded in the rain, sometimes Dream our dreams in vain, sometimes Lose more than we gain, sometimes But this I guarantee Love is not for sometimes Love is for all time For all time, for you and me
We may be stranded in the rain, sometimes Lose more than we gain, sometimes But this I guarantee Love is not for sometimes Love is for all time For all time, for you and me
Cheatin' Is
Composer(s): Rafe Van Hoy
First release by: Barbara Fairchild - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
Cheatin' is a thing that starts when you bring two lonely people face to face with a brand new kiss She blames him, he blames her But neither one is ever quite sure which way it really is And all of the time in the back of their minds, they know they're gonna have to lie about where they've been Cheatin' is a thing that'll take a little ring And break it into pieces that'll never go together again
Cheatin' is the part of loving that starts when true love isn't what lovers are looking for A stranger here, a stranger there Then you turn around and swear that you'll never go back for more And lying at night, when you're holding him tight, is something that a cheater's heart just has to learn Cheatin' is a thing that's guaranteed to bring two unhappy people to the point of no return
The worst of cheatin' is the sad little kids hanging in the middle while Mommy and Daddy choose Cheatin' is a game where nobody wins And the ones that aren't big enough to play are the ones who lose
