Slow Dancing Composer(s): Jack Tempchin Performer(s): Johnny Rivers and multiple other artists
It's late at night and we're all alone, with just the music of the radio No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone Just me and you and the lights down low - and we're
Slow dancing, swaying to the music, slow dancing, just me and my girl Slow dancing, swaying to the music, no one else in the whole wide world Just you, girl
And we just flow together when the lights are low And shadows dancing across the wall The music's playing so soft and low And the rest of the world so far away and small
Slow dancing, swaying to the music, slow dancing, just me and my girl Slow dancing, swaying to the music, no one else in the whole wide world Just you, girl
Hold me, please hold me, don't ever let me go
And as we dance together in the dark There's so much love in this heart of mine She whispers to me and I hold her tight You're the one I thought I'd never find
Slow dancing, swaying to the music, slow dancing, just me and my girl Slow dancing, swaying to the music, no one else in the whole wide world Just you, girl
(There's A Little Lane Without A Turning) On The Way To Home Sweet Home
(There's A Little Lane Without A Turning) On The Way To Home Sweet Home Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; George W. Meyer
I wonder if they miss me nowadays I wonder if they would forgive my ways I'd love to kiss somebody I adore I'd give a lot to see them all once more I haven't treated them just as I should I'd go home tomorrow if I could
When every friend you've had has turned you down When every smile has turned into a frown When every finger points at you in shame Somebody home says you are not to blame I sometimes hear somebody teaching me My first lesson in geography
There's a little lane without a turning On the way to home sweet home There's a little mother always yearning For the ones that long to roam There's a road that leads to strangers That's where friendship parts Another leads to dangers And it's paved with broken hearts Take the little lane without a turning On the way to home sweet home
E Depois Do Adeus Composer(s): José Calvário - José Niza
First performance by: Paulo de Carvalho - 1974
Quis saber quem sou O que faço aqui Quem me abandonou De quem me esqueci Perguntei por mim Quis saber de nós Mas o mar Não me traz Tua voz
Em silêncio, amor Em tristeza e fim Eu te sinto, em flor Eu te sofro, em mim Eu te lembro, assim Partir é morrer Como amar É ganhar E perder
Tu vieste em flor Eu te desfolhei Tu te deste em amor Eu nada te dei Em teu corpo, amor Eu adormeci Morri nele E ao morrer Renasci
E depois do amor E depois de nós O dizer adeus O ficarmos sós Teu lugar a mais Tua ausência em mim Tua paz Que perdi Minha dor que aprendi De novo vieste em flor Te desfolhei...
E depois do amor E depois de nós O adeus O ficarmos sós

(There Was A) Tall Oak Tree Composer(s): Dorsey Burnette Performer(s): Dorsey Burnette; Gene McDaniels
There was a tall oak tree That loved a babblin' brook And the babblin' brook Loved the mountain high And the mountain high Loved the sky above The Creator looked down And saw everything was love, love, love
Now, he took a bone And a piece of mud He made a man and a woman To be flesh and blood And then along came the devil Up out of the ground He tempted the woman And that spread sin all round, all round, all round
Now, if shed left that apple On that apple tree Thered be no tears or sorrow Wed live eternally
And then along came Man And chopped the oak tree down And now the babblin' brook Is solid ground And now the mountain high Dont stand so high And theres a cloud of smoke That covers up the clear blue sky
There was a tall oak tree There was a tall oak tree There was a tall oak tree
Mein Ruf Nach Dir First performance by: Piera Martell - 1974
Sehnsucht nach der Vergangenheit Und die Erinnerung an unser Glück Treiben ein wildes Spiel mit mir Und jeden Augenblick der Zeit Ich hole ihn aus der Vergessenheit zurück
Mein Ruf nach Dir Das wird ein Schrei der Liebe sein Das Lied der Sehnsucht Singt dazu der Wind
Mein Ruf nach Dir Soll wie ein Strahl der Sonne sein Der unsre Liebe Neu zum Blühen bringt
Fragen, ob sich mein Leben lohnt Wenn es so weiter geht, ganz ohne dich Tage, die nichts als Träume sind Mein Leben ist ein leerer Raum Die Wirklichkeit ist nur ein Schattenbild für mich
Mein Ruf nach Dir Das wird ein Schrei der Liebe sein Das Lied der Sehnsucht Singt dazu der Wind
Mein Ruf nach Dir Soll wie ein Strahl der Sonne sein Der unsre Liebe Neu zum Blühen bringt
Mein Ruf nach Dir Das wird ein Schrei der Liebe sein Das Lied der Sehnsucht Singt dazu der Wind
Mein Ruf nach Dir Soll wie ein Strahl der Sonne sein Der unsre Liebe Neu zum Blühen bringt
(There Ought To Be A) Moonlight Saving Time Composer(s): Irving Kahal; Harry Richman Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians; and various other artists
Birdies fly with new ambition Spring is in their song Soon you'll find yourself a-wishin' Days were not so long If my thought is not defined Listen while I speak my mind
There ought to be a moonlight saving time So I could love that boy of mine Until the birdies wake and chime Good morning!
There ought to be a law in clover time To keep that moon on overtime To keep each lover's lane in rhyme, till dawning You'd better hurry up, hurry up Hurry up, get busy today You'd better croon a tune, croon a tune To the man up in the moon And here is what I say
There ought to be a moonlight saving time So I could love that boy of mine Until the birdies wake and chime Good morning!
In January the nights are very long But that's all right In happy June, comes the honeymoon time Days are longer than the night In love time's season, the moon's the reason For every cuddle and kiss When the days are longer, the nights are shorter Something should be done about this
There ought to be a moonlight saving time To make the morning glories climb An hour later on the vine Each morning!
You sort of need a moon to bill and coo An old back porch, a birch canoe A parlor lamp in June won't do I'm warning, I've heard the farmer say I'll make hay while the sun is shining above But when the day is done, night begun You can ask the farmer's son It's time to make love
There ought to be a moonlight saving time So I could love that boy of mine Until the birdies wake and chime Good morning!
Slow And Easy Composer(s): Harry Williams; Norman Spencer
Oh! honey dear my honey dear, I hear those doggone "blues" and honey dear, Oh! listen here, I feel those doggone shoes Though they're new and killing me too, hear that "blue" and what can you do? Oh! boy, Oh! joy; let's toddle it through: but take it
Oh! honey dear, my honey dear, I fear I'll have to stop and honey dear, Oh! listen here, I feel my feet will "pop" When they choose to put on the blues, two new shoes mean terrible news Oh! boy, no joy; I've got to refuse: so walk it
Slow and easy, if you want to get along with me I said slow and easy, be easy as a man can be I'm a lady, pure and sweet, but "shimmee" up a little while I rest my feet Go slow and easy, if you want to get along with me Just take it
Slow and easy, if you want to get along with me I said slow and easy, be easy as a man can be Sit me down here in the shade, I'd like a little beer (I mean a lemonade) Go slow and easy, if you want to get along with me So walk it
(That's What You Get) For Lovin' Me Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot Performer(s): Peter, Paul, & Mary; Waylon Jennings; Elvis Presley
That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get for lovin' me Everything we had is gone, you can see That's what you get for lovin' me
Now don't you shed a tear for me I ain't the love you thought I'd be I've had a hundred just like you But don't be blue, I'll have a thousand before I'm through
That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get for lovin' me Everything we had is gone, you can see That's what you get for lovin' me
Now there you go, you're cryin' again You should have known how things would end But then some day when your poor heart is on the mend I just might pass this way again
That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get for lovin' me Everything we had is gone, you can see That's what you get for lovin' me
That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get for lovin' me Everything we had is gone, you can see That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get for lovin' me That's what you get ...... Fade
Die Sommermelodie First performance by: Cindy & Bert - 1974
Ich hab' dir heut' geschrieben, es ist vorbei Doch du bist da, und das find' ich schön Ich soll dich nicht mehr lieben Du bist nicht frei und ich muß geh'n, ich muß geh'n
Ich hab' dir angesehen, was du verschweigst Denn auch dein Herz, das hat sich verirrt Und keiner weiß, was nun wird
Die Sommermelodie, die ist nur Träumerei Wir beide sind verliebt Und das darf doch nicht sein für uns zwei Die Sommermelodie, die sagt du bist nicht frei Und diese Zeit der Rosen geht einmal vorbei
Wir sehen oft uns wieder, und unser Traum Der ist so schön, doch leider nicht wahr Und dieses Lied der Liebe Klingt durch den Raum, wir sind ein Paar, mmm...
Die Sommermelodie, die ist nur Träumerei Wir beide sind verliebt Und das darf doch nicht sein für uns zwei Die Sommermelodie, die sagt du bist nicht frei Und diese Zeit der Rosen geht einmal vorbei
(Die Sommermelodie) Die Sommermelodie (Die ist nur Träumerei) Die ist nur Träumerei Und diese Zeit der Rosen geht einmal vorbei
(That's How I Learnt To Love) Good Old Country Music
(That's How I Learnt To Love) Good Old Country Music Composer(s): Joe Babcock Performer(s): Porter Wagoner
I remember Daddy playing the Wildwood Flower When we'd gather round the parlour of our home Uncle Wesley played the fiddle and John R played the banjo We'd pick and sing sometimes all night long Mama played the upright piano And I guess it must've been a thing to hear All the neighbors gathered round they loved that country sound And it was surely music to our ears
And that's how I learnt to love good old country music There's somethin' about it close to my soul I'm so glad everyone is lovin' good old country music It's the music of the country and this country is my home
(Guitar Break)
Many nights I went to bed without sleepin' Just a listenin' to our beatup radio I held the groundwire tight Just to get a strain or two of a far-off song from Del Rio Oh it faded in and out through the stand But it made me dream of seeing Tennessee And the greatest thrill of all was to see those hallowed halls The Mother Church, the Grand Ole Opry
And that's how I learnt to love good old country music There's somethin' about it close to my soul I'm so glad everyone is lovin' good old country music It's the music of the country and this country is my home
(Banjo Break)
And that's how I learnt to love good old country music There's somethin' about it close to my soul I'm so glad everyone is lovin' good old country music It's the music of the country and this country is my home

The days and nights went by but no one told me
They can be fun too if you only see There's such a lot of beauty you can live for You only need someone to open up your eyes
And you will see things never seen before
I see a star
A brand-new star
It's right there twinklin' In your eyes
I see a face
A happy face
It's like the mirror of my mind
I see a star . . . I see a face . . .
You opened up my eyes for all the beauty The beauty we're inhaling every day It's been there all my life so it's my duty I won't loose sight of it the fire that you lit
Will keep on burning till the end of time
I see a star . . . I see a face . . . I see a star . . .
Happiness now is being shared by two I just started my life anew
