Friends
Composer(s): Glen Campbell - Dick Bowman
First recording/First release by: - 1968/1969



Friends are never earned
They're a gift from a loving God
And they're precious beyond human evaluation
You dare not take them for granted
Or they'll drift away like smoke
And the warmth of their caring will vanish
Into the chill of the endless nights
Most of my friends are unknowns
They probably won't even rate an obituary
Unless they live and die in a small town somewhere
Where nothing much ever happens
But a few of my friends are big people
They're famous, sensitive, talented
And their names are household words
And yet they're no more precious in God's eyes, or in mine
Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in obscurity
Who's your friend? He's someone who warms you with a nod
Or with an unspoken word in hard times
When you're hurtin' beyond words
She's someone who holds you to her breast
And sighs softly into your hair
When no other medicine could possibly stop the pain
A friend is someone who clinks his glass against yours
Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you're lost
And with a few words of encouragement and concern
Makes you realise that you're not really lost at all
Friends come in both sexes, in all shapes and sizes
The most important thing they have in common
Is their ability to share with you your most sky-splitting joys
Or your deepest most awesome sorrows
Of all the things that I have in this world
I'm most grateful for my friends

He's My Guy
Composer(s): Don Raye; Gene De Paul
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists



He's my guy, I don't care what he does
'Cause he's my guy, I guess he always was
He's careless about me, I don't think he tries
But once in a while he'll hug me and smile
Then I can see me in his eyes

Oh he's my guy, I know he'll always be
And I will try to keep him loving me
However he wants me, I'm his until I die
For nobody knows, better than I
That he's my guy

Stamped Ideas
Composer(s): Darryl DeLoach - Doug Ingle
Performer(s): Iron Butterfly



Stay away from people made from plastic in a mold
And keep your stamped ideas inside your head untold
Because I, I, I, baby am protecting you
Yes, against the kind of things that other people do
I, baby, am protecting you 'cause i'm in love with you
So come on baby!

Stay away from people made from plastic in a mold
And keep your stamped ideas inside your head untold
Because I, I, I, baby am protecting you
Yes, against the kind of things that other people do
I, baby, am protecting you 'cause i'm in love with you
So come on baby!

He's My Dreamboat
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): Connie Francis; Lita Roza



He's my dreamboat, asleep in English class
He's my dreamboat, mowin' his folk's grass
He's my dream boat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes
He's my dreamboat, workin' on his car
He's my dreamboat, straddlin' his guitar
He's my dreamboat with the dreamy dreamy eyes

Well now
I dream of dreamboat in everything I do
And I know that darlin' dreamboat
Dreams of me too

He's my dreamboat, coffee in a Dixie cup
Darling dreamboat, that crazy, silly nut
He's my dreamboat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes

Yes, he's my dreamboat, coffee in a Dixie cup
Darlin dreamboat, that crazy, silly nut
He's my dreamboat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes

(Adapted from: Park Avenue Fantasy - 1934)
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Matt Malneck - Frank Signorelli
Performer(s): Kay Kyser & his Orch. - 1939
and multiple other artists



There's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky
And the night is like a velvet lullaby
There's a heaven of blue
And we'll go there, just you and I

Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With love beside us to fill the night with a song

We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us as we go drifting along

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?

Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?

Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

He's Home For A Little While
Composer(s): Ted Shapiro; Rob Goellner
Performer(s): Doris Day & Les Brown;
Duke Ellington; Anita Ellis; Dinah Shore



He's home for a little while
He's mine once again
No need to tell but it feels simply swell
With him close to me
Where he's supposed to be

He's home for a little while
I've lived for his kiss, I hit the skies
When he looks in my eyes
And my knees grow weak with bliss
He's sort of changed He's kind of different
From the boy I used to know a while ago

Strange how much he says without a word
And when he holds my hand I understand
I'm his but for ever more
He's mine, mine alone
We'll have to part
But he's close to my heart
For the little while he's home

Stay Forever
Composer(s): Simon Gomilšek - Diana Lecnik
First performance by: Platin - 2004



Ooh... hey yeah yeah
 
Come on, let's fly away, girl
Up on cloud number nine I'd wish to flow
You're my most precious pearl
Hmm... waiting for you, that's all I need to know
 
Wait and see how it's gonna be
Hold my hand, just don't let go
Birds of a feather flock together
But time will tell, people say, so
 
Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry, no, no, no
 
Stay forever, no matter what may happen
Don't give up on me
Do whatever, I'll never let go
I will catch your fall
 
Through our sunny and dark sides of life
Feelings like this are made to survive
What the rest of the world thinks doesn't matter
Because we know it better
 
Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry, no, no, no
 
Stay forever, no matter what may happen
Don't give up on me
Do whatever, I'll never let go
I will catch your fall
 
Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby, baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry

Stay Forever
Composer(s): Hal Ketchum - Benmont Tench
Performer(s): Hal Ketchum



Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wastin God's time
Livin without your touch, is driving me out of my mind
If you could only see, how much you matter to me
Maybe you would stay forever

Maybe I care too much, maybe I'll push you away
Maybe I'd have my doubts, if I were in your place
And if you could see inside, this achin heart of mine
Maybe you would stay forever

You don't have to go on living
With your back against the wall
Let my lovin arms surround you
I won't let you fall

And if you would trust in me, and this love of mine
We'll sail an endless sea, under a starry sky
And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close
Maybe you will stay forever

And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close
Baby you will stay forever

He's Got No Love
Composer(s): Chris Curtis; Mike Pender
Performer(s): The Searchers



Sometimes a man might wanna cry
Sometimes a man might wanna die
He wonders why he's standin' all alone
It's 'cause he's got no love to call his own

Sometimes a man feels oh so sad
Sometimes a man is hurt so bad
He wonders why he's feelin' sad and cries
It's 'cause he's got no love to dry his eyes

He'd give the world to know someone who'd care for him
He hopes someday someone will share their love with him

Sometimes a man might wanna cry
Sometimes a man might wanna die
He wonders why he's feelin' sad inside
It's 'cause he's got no love to stand beside

He'd give the world to know someone who'd care for him
He hopes someday someone will share their love with him

Sometimes a man feels oh so sad
Sometimes a man is hurt so bad
He wonders why he's feelin' sad inside
It's 'cause he's got no love to stand beside

He's got no love, he's got no love, he's got no love

Stairway To The Sea
(French & Italian Versions: Le Petit Chemin De Pierres; Scalinatèlla)
Composer(s): Enzo Bonagura - Giuseppe Cioffi - Albert Beach
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea
And pretend you are there beside me, so close beside me, watching the sea
I see us there upon the stairway to the sea
Where the mist softly kissed two lovers, hiding from others our love by the sea

Why try to find a new love when your voice keeps calling me?
I'm just a lonely pris'ner of the stairway to the sea
And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea

And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea

There by the sea
There by the sea!

He's A Tramp
Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



He's a tramp, but I love him
Breaks a new heart ev'ry day
He's a tramp, they adore him
And I only hope he'll stay that way

He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel
He's a rounder, he's a cad
He's a tramp, but I love him
Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad

You can never tell when he'll show up
He gives you plenty of trouble
I guess he's just a no 'count pup
But I wish that he were double

He's a tramp, he's a rover
And there's nothing more to say
If he's a tramp, he's a good one
And I wish that I could travel his way
Yeah, I wish that I could travel his way
Wish that I could travel his way

Foi Magia 
First performance by: Sofia Vitória - 2004



Eu não sei como foi
Não sei o que me deu
Mas de repente lá estava eu

Foi magia, foi magia

E lá estavas tu
A sorrir para mim
Eu nunca vi nada assim

Foi magia, foi magia

Foi magia
Quando eu te toquei e o beijo que te dei
Foi magia, naquele dia
Foi magia, naquele dia

Não sei o que me deu
Mas o que me aconteceu
Foi algo divinal

Foi magia, foi magia

Eu não sei como foi
Que me deu para tal
Eu nunca fiz nada igual

Foi magia, foi magia

Foi magia
Quando eu te toquei e o beijo que te dei
Foi magia, naquele dia
Foi magia, naquele dia

He's A Runner
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears;
and various other artists



He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner

He's a runner and he'll run away with the midnight train
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Come the judgement day, come the rain, he's a runner

There'll come the running, he knows he's got to
Don't ask him not to or why
Oh why, oh why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow?
Now I'm in chains till I die

He's a runner and he'll run away
Soon there'll be no man
Woman ain't been born who can make him stay
Woman get away while you can
He's a runner
He's a runner and he's got to run, he's got to run away
He's a runner

Stairway To Heaven
Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page - Rolf Harris
Performer(s): Rolf Harris



There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band 
Trying, but dying 
They get themselves up onto their collective elbows 
Revert to their sixties instrumentation 
And they try again 

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold 
And she's buying a stairway to heaven 
All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven 
When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed 
With a word she can get what she came for 
All together now, with a word she can get what she came for 

Ooh and it makes me wonder 
(How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder 
(That's interesting that, yeah) 

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 
'Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings 
All together now, 'cos you know words sometimes have two meanings 

(A lot of words have two meanings 
Um, like in this song the word to buy 
Buying a stairway to heaven, bought 
(pause) oh no, that's brought isn't it 
Well, er, there's lots of words have two meanings) 

In the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings 
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven 
All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven 

(Miss Given? Just change instruments now 
Thank you very much
Miss Given ladies and gentlemen 
Isn't it nice to have your name mentioned in the song? 
Isn't that good 
Lovely lady) 

Good one 

Can I change instruments again? 
Thank you

There's a lady I'm sure that I've mentioned before (yes I did, yes) 
And she's buying a stairway to heaven 
All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven 

Ooh and it makes me wonder 
Ooh and it makes us wonder 
Ooh and it makes us wonder 
It makes us wonder

He's A Rebel
Composer(s): Gene Pitney
Performer(s): The Crystals



See the way he walks down the street 
Watch the way he shuffles his feet 
How he holds his head up high 
When he goes walking by-y-y-y-y-y 
He's my guy 
When he holds my hand I'm so proud 
'Cos he's not just one of the crowd 
I bet he's always the one 
To try the things I've never done 
and just because of that they will say -- Hey! 

He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good 
He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should 
And just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does 
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love 

He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly 
He's not a rebel, no-no-no 
He's not a rebel, no-no-no - to me-e-e-e 

If they don't like him that way 
They won't like me after today 
I'll be standing right by his side - when they say 

He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good 
He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should 
and just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does 
That's no reason why - we can't share a love 

He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly 
He's not a rebel, no-no-no 
He's not a rebel, no-no-no - to me-e-e-e 
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no) 
No-no-no 
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no) 
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no) 
No-no-no 
(he's not a rebel - no-no-no)

Climb up way up high
Climb up way up high 
Climb up way up high

Well-a well-a well-a heavenly angel I want you for my girl

'Cause heaven is where you are

Well-a well-a well-a over the rainbow

I'll build a stairway to heaven 
'Cause heaven is where you are

I'll build a stairway to heaven

I'll build a stairway to heaven 
'Cause heaven is where you are

Well-a well-a well-a I gotta be going
Gonna leave the world behind
Every day in a heavenly way
You're gonna drive me outta my mind

I'll climb to the highest star
I'll build a stairway to heaven 
'Cause heaven is where you are

I'll build a stairway to heaven
'Cause heaven is where you are
Climb up way up high

Herring Croon 
Composer(s): Gordon Bok
Performer(s): Gordon Bok



Where do you go, little herring? 
What do you see, tail-and-fin? 
"Blue and green, cold and dark
Seaweed growing high
Hills a hundred fathom deep 
Where the dead men lie
Dogfish eyes and mackerels' eyes
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch me if you can" 

Where do you go, little boat? 
(Tar and timber, plank and sail) 
"I go to green bays 
Lift them under me 
Cold grey combing seas 
Come to bury me
Rocky jaws and stony claws
And they hunger after me
Harbors cold and deep and bold
Wish that I could see" 

What do you see, fisherman? 
(Poor old sailor, blood and bone) 
"Mackerel skies, mares' tales
Reef and furl and steer
Poor haul and hungry days
Rotten line and gear
Snow wind and winter gales
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch you if I can

Where do you go, little herring? 
What do you see, tail-and-fin? 
"Blue and green, cold and dark
Seaweed growing high
Hills a hundred fathom deep 
Where the dead men lie
Dogfish eyes and mackerels' eyes
And they hunger after me
Net or weir, I don't care
Catch me if you can"
