My Impossible Dream Composer(s): Robert D. Fisher - Bruce Smith First performance by: Glennis Grace - 2005
I have a dream...
You 'n' me, we're driftin' far apart Our story has been told Can't you see, the writing's on the wall? I've come in from the cold And I will follow my dream
I'll fight the big wide world I'll make it on my own Against all odds I'm breakin' free The gauntlet has been thrown My colours have been shown Now I seek my impossible dream
Now's the time To hold my head up high Find my identity So I will follow my dream
I'll fight the big wide world I'll make it on my own Against all odds I'm breakin' free The gauntlet has been thrown My colours have been shown Now I seek my impossible dream
My dream...
I'll fight the big world I'll make it on my own again Against all odds I'm breakin' free The gauntlet has been thrown My colours have been shown Now I seek my impossible dream
Hi Jolly Composer(s): Randy Sparks Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels; and various other artists
Hi Jolly was a camel driver, long time ago He followed Mr. Beale way out west Didn't mind the burning sand in that God-forsaken land But he didn't mind the pretty gals the best
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the morning light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
There's pretty girls in Albuquerque, 'least that's what I've heard There's pretty gals in Tumcumcari too Now honey, I ain't blind, but I don't pay them any mind 'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the morning light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Old timers down in Arizona tell you that it's true That you can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-ridin' still When the desert moon is bright, he comes ridin' into sight Drivin' four and twenty camels over the hill
Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly Twenty more before the mornin' light Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night
Stardust (Estrellitas) (Dutch Version: Weerklank - 2009) Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael First release by: Hoagy Carmichael - 1927 Covered by multiple other artists
And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that were apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust Of yesterday The music Of the years Gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights Dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss, an inspiration
But that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall where stars are bright You are in my arms A nightingale sings its fairy tale Of paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain That stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
Hi Ho Silver Lining Composer(s): Scott English; Larry Weiss Performer(s): Jeff Beck
You're everywhere and nowhere, baby that's where you're at Going down the bumpy hillside in your hippie hat Flying across the country and getting fat Saying everything is groovy when your tires are flat
And it's hi-ho silver lining anywhere you go now, baby I see your sun is shining but I will make a fuss Though it's obvious
Flies are in your pea soup, baby they're waving at me Anything you want is yours now only nothing's for free Life's a-gonna get you someday just wait and see So put up your beach umbrella while you're watching TV
And it's hi-ho silver lining anywhere you go, well, baby I see your sun is shining but I will make a fuss Though it's obvious
Tout De Moi First performance by: Lise Darly - 2005
Je donnerais ce que j'ai de plus cher Je pourrais même faire quelques prières J'apprendrais à devenir celle que tu voudrais que je devienne J'irais contre les tempêtes et les vents Je crierais haut et fort mes sentiments Pour que nos routes se mélangent, je deviendrais ton ange
Tout de moi Je dépose à tes pieds mes heures et mes armes Quand tout déjà Me rappelle que je ne suis rien sans toi Oui, tout de moi Je te donne tous mes rêves, mon cur et mon âme Quand tout déjà Me rappelle que j'n'existe plus sans toi
Dans cette ville où tout parlaient de nous Reste le souvenir des rendez-vous J'accrochais des mots pleins d'espoir, en attendant le vent du soir J'ai des nuits qui ressemblent à des années J'ai perdu le sommeil à trop rêver J'ai beau crier contre des murs, mais rien ne me rassure
Tout de moi Je dépose à tes pieds mes heures et mes armes Quand tout déjà Me rappelle que je ne suis rien sans toi
Et si les dieux sont contre nous Alors je serais marabout Je chasserais les hivers froids Comme une reine de cur défend son roi
Tout de moi Je dépose à tes pieds mes heures et mes armes Quand tout déjà Me rappelle que je ne suis rien sans toi

Hi And Si Of Jaytown Performer(s): Steve Porter & Byron G. Harlan
Way last summer, I think it was in May Ol' Si Hubbard to me did say "They say there's a circus comin' to town Suppose you and I go see the clown"
So we sold our barley, our oats and our corn In fact, we almost cleaned out our barn And with that money bought us two new suits High top hats and red top boots
And when that circus came to town Si and I were the first ones at the ground Si says to I, "Let's go get tight Tear down the tents, let's start a fight"
"Not much" says I, "We'll raise no feud" For I was afraid of the old 'hay rube' So Si proposed some red lemonade And some goober peas, for which I paid
'Twas a jolly good cuss who kept that store We thought when he asked us to have some more "Oh, I like you boys for straight Don't stand back, for I'll stand treat"
So Si and I both pitched right in And how we ate indeed was a sin But when we turned to go away We heard that goldarn sharker say
"Four dollars here, you rubes, don't wait Get off to the sideshow or you'll be late" So Si and I paid that cash like a darn fool cuss And off to the sideshow we did rush
The sights we seen within that show Was enough to turn your whiskers green Tattooed men all covered with ink A dog-faced boy called the missing link
Si didn't know that a parrot could talk 'Til he up and called him a country gawk So Si got mad and flew in a rage He knocked that goldarn bird clear out of his cage
