In Love For A While Composer(s): David Klein First performance by: Anna Rossinelli - 2011
I looked into your eyes, and when I saw your smile I knew right from the start: life is good for a while Romance comes and goes, but a love like ours is here to stay Each lovely night and sunny day
I love everything about you, I couldn't do without you Whenever you're near me, all my days are on the bright side But when I'm not around you, I have to find the way To be with you each night and every day
Na nanana nanana... na nanana nanana... Na nanana nananana... na nananana... Na nanana nanana... na nanana nanana... Nanana nanana nanana...
And as time goes by and we've seen stormy weather I know that you and I, we're always getting better But when I'm not around you, I have to find the way To be with you each night and every day
Oh, I couldn't do without you, yeah I have to find the way to... to be with you, no oh no no oh... I love everything you do I have to find the way to be with you
Cheer Down
Composer(s): George Harrison - Tom Petty
First release by: George Harrison - 1989
I can see by your grin That you're trembling within It's all over town, cheer down And the smile on your face Is sometimes out of place Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down
If your hair should fall If your shares should crash You'll get by even without getting a rash
There's no tears to be shed I'm gonna love you instead I want you around, cheer down
When your teeth drop out You'll get by even without taking a bite
If your dog should be dead I'm gonna love you instead The world loves a clown, cheer down I want you around, cheer down

I been waiting my time just to talk to you You´ve been lookin´all down in the mouth and down at your shoes Well, baby, I came to give you the news I´ll paint rainbows all over your blues

Let´s go for a bounce on my trampoline I can show you the prettiest mountains that you´ve ever seen You better run to your closet and fish out your blue suede shoes I´ll paint rainbows all over your blues
Cheek To Cheek
((Italian Version: Cheek To Cheek (Manlio Sgalambro) - 2001))
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance/First recording/First release by: Fred Astaire - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
Heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek Heaven, I'm in heaven And the cares that hung around me through the week Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek Oh I love to climb a mountain And reach the highest peak But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much As dancing cheek to cheek Oh I love to go out fishing In a river or a creek But I don't enjoy it half as much As dancing cheek to cheek (Come on and) Dance with me I want my arm(s) about you That (Those) charm(s) about you Will carry me through... (Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging) Out together dancing cheek to cheek
Rainbow Stew Composer(s): Merle Haggard Performer(s): Merle Haggard; Johnny Paycheck; Jason Ringenberg
There's a big, brown cloud in the city And the countryside's a sin The price of life is too high to give up Gotta come down again When the world wide war is over and done And the dream of peace comes true We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up Eatin' that rainbow stew
When they find out how to burn water And the gasoline car is gone When an airplane flies without any fuel And the sunlight heats our home One of these days when the air clears up And the sun comes shinin' through We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up An' eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon Underneath that sky of blue We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up An' eatin' that rainbow stew
You don't have to get high to get happy Just think about what's in store When people start doin' what they oughta be doin' Then they won't be booin' no more When a President goes through the White House door An' does what he says he'll do We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble-Up And eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon Underneath that sky of blue We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble-Up Eatin' that rainbow stew
Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon Underneath that sky of blue We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up And eatin' that rainbow stew

Check-Out Time
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
When I woke up this morning I was all alone Stretched out in bed Two hundred miles from home in some old motel I don't know what's to become of me I know that check-out time is three
I didn't mean to hurt him, he has so much pride I never dreamed I had to run and hide to this lonely room I just hope he doesn't follow me I know that check-out time is three
There's just no use Why try to make an excuse I've lost great news Because to be his one Well that would be just giving up on life
I've got to go on living, I just can't exist I wanna taste all of the things I missed For his tender love Till the day love catches up with me That's always check-out time at three
See all the rainbow people dance about They're here to love you and to freak you out
Long tendril hair touching stars Multicolored diamond shards will shower you with love
Hey Mr. plastic man all dressed in black Incense and beads and flower power's back
The beautiful ones will turn you on Gonna drop the flower bomb Gonna drop the flower bomb And blow your mind
I was thinkin' bout a groovy chick at Pandora's box She was doing the pony eatin' magic paisley dots Beautiful Capricorn said "man, this trip's so boss."
Just watch the rainbow people do their thing Your soul can fly on lavender wings
You can be a butterfly 'Cause it's all inside your mind It's all inside your mind Whoa woah
And all the cosmic radiation is blowing colors through the center of mind
My days and nights are passing Long hours are running But we are still fighting Ay ay ay
The love is still so shining Why are we denying? I really don't know why Ay ay ay
Come and take my hand now don't be shy (dont be shy) And let's try to hold our spirits high
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your kisses like a like a
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your love is like a like a
I wanna say that one thing is true I'm in love with you
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your kisses like a like a
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your love is like a like a
I wanna say that one thing is true I'm in love with you
I know that love cannot lie I wanna give you a new try So there's no need to cry Ay ay ay
And if you want we can fly High up to the sky-ay Just you and I Ay ay ay ay
Come and take my hand now don't be shy(don't be shy) And let's try to hold our spirits high
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your kisses like a like a
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your love is like a like a
I wanna say that one thing is true (true) I'm in love with you
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your kisses like a like a
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your love is like a like a
I wanna say that one thing is true I'm in love with you
You are the strongest fighter (Boom boom boom) you`re the king for me,yeah ( Im in love with you) Its time to win me in the ring of love, babe, babe...
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your kisses like a like a

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...

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

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...
