Transatlantic Lullaby Composer(s): Geoff Wright - Robert McDermott Performer(s): Adelaide Hall and multiple other artists
New Yorks skyscrapers are sleeping Dawn comes creeping on Street lamps are shining more clearly Night has nearly gone Papa and mama both are yawning now All their goodnights will soon be said It wont be long until the morning now And time to go to bed
Soft Manhattan evenings fall A velvet dust envelops all On Hudson River, distant tugboats cry Ship to ship and shore to shore The waters make a shining floor And hum a transatlantic lullaby
The sky is silky dark, its cool in Central Park The traffic cars all clanging past A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one And Broadway goes to bed at last
Tomorrow seems a distant beam And still the rocky waters gleam And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby
The sky is silky dark, its cool in Central Park The charley cars all clanging past A busy day is done, the lights fade one by one And Broadway goes to bed at last
Tomorrow seems a distant beam And still the rocky waters gleam And hum a sleepy transatlantic lullaby
I Missed Again Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
So you finally came right out and said it girl What took you so long It was in your eyes, that look's been there for too long I'm waiting in line Would you say if I was wasting my time
Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh
I think about it from time to time When I'm lonely and on my own
I try to forget and yet, still rush to the telephone I'm waiting in line Would you say if I was wasting my time
Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh
Well it feels like something you want so bad Then you think you've got it, but it's something you already had You can feel it all around you, but it's something you just can't touch And I feel it coming at me I can feel it coming at me
Or did I miss again I think I missed again oh Or did I miss again I think I missed again
I'm waiting in line, but would you say if I was wasting my time
Just Walk In My Shoes Composer(s): H. Mastor; K. Miller Performer(s): Gladys Knight & The Pips; and various other artists
Well I just can't get myself together anymore I believe I need the love I had Oh baby, we had it all
Walk in my shoes This hurt inside is too much for me Just walk in my shoes You'll see I want the love that used to be Try on my heartache Go ahead and try it on for size Just walk in my shoes And you'll see through someone else's eyes
What you've done to me I fell apart when you walked out And I just can't get myself together anymore I believe I need the love I had Oh baby, we had it all
Why don't you walk and walk into my shoes And you'll wear a smile that isn't real Just walk in my shoes And you'll know how broken up I feel Try out each new day Wear the cloak of loneliness I know Just walk in my shoes Or do you since you let me go
Keep on walkin', walk on, ye-e-e-a-a-ah You got to keep on walking, baby
Darlin' I fell apart Baby, baby, baby, when you walked out And I just can't get myself together anymore 'Cause I need, I need the love we had Oh baby, why did you go
Why don't you walk an' walk an' walk an' walk into my shoes Ye-e-e-a-ah, you gotta, gotta, gotta walk in my shoes Well, why doncha walk, you gotta, gotta........

Just Visiting Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul
When we first began And man received his present name We were worshipping the sun and moon And hoping it would rain Thinking we were puppets of some universal power We expected his arrival any hour
Suddenly it came A chariot across the sky Roaring like an angry tiger Giving us a great surprise And what was surely God indeed Stepped out a burning plane Proceeding to explain
I'm not your maker An angel or a saint divine Not your Creator Giving you a holy sign I am a spaceman And I'm just visting the earth You are an apeman And I've been visiting you Ever since your birth
Man was but a child And little did he understand And he couldn't write this story down So his children heard it second hand And what was pure and simple Now a miracle became The spaceman was its name
I'm not your maker An angel or a saint divine Not your Creator Giving you a holy sign I am a spaceman And I'm just visting the earth You are an apeman And I've been visiting you Ever since your birth
And now we've joined the race Travellers in outer-space Very soon we too might have to say
I'm not your maker An angel or a saint divine Not your Creator Giving you a holy sign I am a spaceman And I'm just visting your earth You are an apeman And I've been visiting you Ever since your birth...
Down by the river, foggy and grey Only a young girl kneeling to pray Down in the water, muddy and cold Eyes red from crying A torn, ragged soul
Once so young and gay Once in dreams of yesterday
Down by the river, foggy and grey Only an old tramp shuffles his way He saw that the water, that the water so wide Held the young body of a love that had died
Once so young and fair Once, and now despair
Down by the reeds, they found him next day Dead like the young girl, in the water so grey That muddy old river took two of a kind A tramp and a young girl That love left behind
I Miss You So
Composer(s): Jimmy Henderson - Sydney Robin - Bertha Scott
Performer(s): The Cats & The Fiddle
and multiple other artists
Those happy hours I spent with you
That lovely afterglow
But most of all I miss you so
Your sweet caresses each rendezvous
Your voice so soft and low
But most of all I miss you so
You once filled my heart
There's no regrets, no, no fears
And now you'll find my heart
Filled to the top with tears
I'll always love you and want you too
How much, how much you'll never know
But most of all I miss you so
But most of all I miss you so
I Miss You Honey, Miss You All The Time Composer(s): Charles K. Harris
I can see a picture of a cottage In a valley 'neath a Southern sky I can see her standing 'mid the flowers Where we plighted troth, my love and I Just a lovers quarrel, then we parted She may love another, I suppose But my heart goes out to her with yearning And I wonder if my Honey knows
Violets are growing in the meadow Honey suckles twine around her door I can see her in the grassy orchard Over her the pink white blossoms pour There is something calls me back to Honey 'T is no use, I'm going home today Take her in my arms once more and tell her How I longed to see her and to say
Oh, how I miss you Honey, miss you Could I only kiss you, kiss you If I could but hold you in my arms again For, oh, my heart is sad and weary Just for you, my little dearie How I miss you, honey, miss you all the time

Back home in Tennesse just try to picture me right on my mother's knee she thinks the world of me all I can think of tonight is a field of snowy white banjos ringing, darkies singing, all this world seems bright The roses round the door make me love mother more I'll see my sweetheart Flo and friends I used to know Why, they'll be right there to meet me Just imagine how they'll greet me when I get back when I get back to my home in Tennessee

Just To See Her Composer(s): Jimmy George; Lou Pardini Performer(s): Smokey Robinson; and various other artists
Just to see her Just to touch her Just to hold her in my arms again one more time
If I could feel her warm embrace See her smiling face Can't find anyone to take her place I've got to see her again
I would do anything I would go anywhere There's nothing I wouldn't do Just to see her again
I can't hide it I can't fight it It's so hard to live without the love she gave to me
Doesn't she know it I tried hard not to show it Can't I make her realize that she really needs me again
I would do anything I would go anywhere There's nothing I wouldn't do Just to see her again She brightened up my everyday Made me feel so good in every way If I could have her back to stay I've got to see her again
Trainwreck Of Emotion Composer(s): Alan Rhody - Jon Vezner Performer(s): Lorrie Morgan; Del McCoury
I can see it all so clearly as I'm looking back I was headed down the wrong way on a one-way track There must be a million chances that a fool could take Well this fool took every one and never hit the brakes I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash I can see tomorrow's headlines "Heartbroke from blind devotion" Just another victim of a Trainwreak of emotion We were burnin' like a furnace as he poured on the coal Drive wheel a churnin',I mean love was on a roll Faster and faster I swear we left the ground But when that smoke had cleared he was nowhere around I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash I can see tomorrow's headlines "Heartbroke from blind devotion" Just another victim of a Trainwreak of emotion Rumors are flyin' about how our love had failed But I know it was him that pulled the switch And left me derailed I'm lying in the rubble cinder,smoke and ash My heart still poundin' from the impact of the crash I can see tomorrow's headlines "Heartbroke from blind devotion" Just another victim of a Trainwreak of emotion Just one more victim of a Trainwreck of emotion Trainwreck of emotion Trainwreck of emotion

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - Quand Un Bateau Passe (Claude François) 1984 - Havens En Stations (Erik Van Neygen)
Trains and bloats and planes are passing by They mean a trip to Paris or Rome For someone else, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away, away from me
We were so in love and high above We had a star to wish upon Wish and dreams come true, but not for me The trains and the boats and planes Took you away, away from me
You are from another part of the world You had to go back awhile and then You said you soon would return again I'm waiting here like I promised to I'm waiting here, but where are you
Oh... oh... trains and boats and planes took you away But every time I see her/him I pray And if my prayer can cross the sea The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back, back home to me The trains and the boats and planes Will bring you back, back home to me
I Miss You Composer(s): Donnie Sumner Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Still I recall all the good times together The love we shared, the fun and the laughter How I wish you could feel what my heart says tonight, dear I miss you and I wish you were here
Dreams that I had, they lay broken in sorrow The plans I made, my hopes for tomorrow If I could I would tell you I'm lonesome tonight, dear Oh, I miss you and I wish you were here
All through the night I will see memories passing The way you looked, the sound of your laughing How I long for the touch of your hand holding mine, dear Oh, I miss you and I wish you were here

Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh) Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)
There is nothing I wouldn't do Just to be with you (ooh, ooh, ooh) I'll build a castle like those of old And I would sell it for wealths of gold I'll fight a lion, compose a symphony I'll count the stars in the galaxy (eeee)

Havens en stations brachten me haast de wereld rond Toch, er was daar niets wat me erg trok Tenzij mijn wens om weer dicht bij jou te zijn Zo vlug als k kon, bij jou te zijn Liefde was een spel voor jou en mij Te veel verwend en zonder besef Van plaats of tijd,hoe goed het was Om steeds dicht bij jou te zijn Zo veel als k kon, bij jou te zijn
Hoe voel jij je nu daarginds heel alleen Voel je je beter dan toen Voel je je beter dan toen bij mij Ben je op zoek ja, vergeefs op zoek Want ik wacht hier, en waar ben jij
havens en stations brachten me haast de wereld rond maar telkens als ik dan aan je denk weerklinkt mijn wens om weer dicht bij jou te zijn Zo vlug als k kan, bij jou te zijn
