Slippers With Wings Composer(s): Willy Dalton; Randall Hylton Performer(s): Charlie Waller; James Easter; Sheri Easter
Susie was three when she first blessed our home We loved her as much as a child of our own Her little legs were all twisted and frail It was never meant for Susie to be well
In her little bed time prayers she would say Lord I know you've been busy today But if you get some time please pretty please Can I have some slippers with wings
She'd love to watch the kids in the playground nearby They'd call Susie's name she would wave and say hi Tiny teardrops would leave the window stained It was never meant for Susie to complain
She would say to her brown puppy dog Little Skippy I know it won't be long Till I run and play tag like my friends God sending me pretty slippers with wings
Susie turned four and her little legs turned weak Pain took it's tole and the colour left her cheeks Christmas eve came and we gathered around Susie's bed And these are the last words she said
Mommy, mommy there's a man dressed in white Daddy look he is shinny and bright And he's holding some ribbons and some string Around a pretty pair of slippers with wings
And if ever I am certain of one certain thing Susie's wearing golden slippers with wings

Slip Slidin' Away Composer(s): Paul Simon First release by: Paul Simon - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a man He came from my home town He wore his passion for his woman Like a thorny crown He said Delores I live in fear My love for you's so overpowering I'm afraid that I will disappear
Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away
I know a woman Became a wife These are the very words she uses To describe her life She said a good day Ain't got no rain She said a bad day's when I lie in bed And think of things that might have been
Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away
And I know a father Who had a son He longed to tell him all the reasons For the things he'd done He came a long way Just to explain He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping Then he turned around and headed home again
Slip slidin' away Slip slidin' away You know the nearer your destination The more you're slip slidin' away
God only knows God makes his plan The information's unavailable To the mortal man We work our jobs Collect our pay Believe we're gliding down the highway When in fact we're slip slidin' away
Compañeros poetas tomando en cuenta los últimos suceso en la poesía, quisiera preguntar me urge ¿qué tipo de adjetivos se deben usar para hacer el poema de un barco sin que se haga sentimental, fuera de la vanguardia o evidente panfleto si debo usar palabras como Flota Cubana de Pesca y «Playa Girón»?
Compañeros de música tomando en cuenta esas politonales y audaces canciones, quisiera preguntar me urge ¿qué tipo de armonía se debe usar para hacer la canción de este barco con hombres de poca niñez, hombres y solamente hombres sobre cubierta hombres negros y rojos y azules los hombres que pueblan el «Playa Girón»?
Compañeros de historia tomando en cuenta lo implacable que debe ser la verdad, quisiera preguntar me urge tanto ¿qué debiera decir, qué fronteras debo respetar? Si alguien roba comida y después da la vida, ¿qué hacer? ¿Hasta donde debemos practicar las verdades? ¿Hasta donde sabemos? Que escriban, pues, la historia, su historia los hombres del «Playa Girón»

Play, Fiddle, Play Composer(s): Arthur Altman; Jack Lawrence; Emery Deutsch Performer(s): Arthur Tracy; and various artists
Now the gypsy band rest their caravan Where I hear concealed the song Dusky magic falls, gypsy music calls Oft to lovers one by one
A lover strums his fiddle while he hums his little song Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Play, fiddler play, play my loved one a melody Sing to my love while the stars swing above Play, fiddle play, sing my loved one a rhapsody Play on the strings of her heart
The campfires are gleaming as red as the sun And my heart keeps dreaming, just dreaming of one So softly, croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony Play, fiddle play to my love
Croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony Play, fiddle play to my love

Sans Toi Composer(s): Anne Gregory; Paul Koulak First performance by: Martine Clémenceau - 1973
Tout le monde autour de chose parlait d'amour Il fallait bien que cela m'arrive un jour
J'attendais, je t'espérais, j'espérais, je te cherchais Mais c'est fou, tu existais L'aventure, c'était toi, et je comprends déjà
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre? Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre? Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi Sans toi, sans toi
Comme il faisait bon ce soir dans le jardin J'aime tes secrets et je n'ai peur de rien
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre? Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre? Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi Sans toi
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi Sans toi
Play The Game Tonight Composer(s): Phil Ehart; Danny Flower; Rob Frazier; Kerry Livgren; Rich Williams Performer(s): Kansas
You think that something's happening And it's bigger than your life But it's only what you're hearing Will you still remember When the morning light has come Will the songs be playing over and over Till you do it all over again
Chorus: Play, play the game tonight Can you tell me if it's wrong or right Is it worth the time, is it worth the price Do you see yourself in the white spotlight Then play the game tonight
And when the curtains open To the roaring of the crowd You will feel it all around you Then it finally happens And it's all come true for you And the songs are playing over and over Till you do it all over again

Sleigh Ride In July Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
If I were the type to play around It wouldn't be so bad, But I didn't know my way around And what a time I had!
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve My dreams were safe all winter And then to think that I Was taken for a sleigh ride in July
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight

Well, I tried to run my game She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before" And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

Well, I tried to run my game She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before" And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

Composer(s): Leroy Anderson; Mitchell Parish First release by: The Andrews Sisters - 1950 Covered by multiple other artists
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap let's go, Let's look at the show We're riding in a wonderland of snow Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap it's grand, Just holding your hand We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray It'll be the perfect ending a of perfect day We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop! pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

Do me a favour, I beg of you Joe Play me a heartache or two When a romance sours, smiles are just a lie Play me hearts and flowers, and let me cry
