A Star Fell Out Of Heaven Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
There was I, all alone, gazing at a friendless sky How could I help but sigh, romance had passed me by There was I, all alone, my heart was sadly neglected Then love came along so unexpectedly, for me
A star fell out of heaven, right into my arms A star fell out of heaven, right into my dreams And since that very moment, life is so divine I never heard a star speak before This one said : "Will you be mine?"
Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you
Then roses fell from heaven to be your bouquet And dew rained down from heaven to christen the day A miracle had happened, as they sometimes do A star fell out of heaven and turned out to be you
High Powered Love Composer(s): Tony Joe White Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
I've been running low on inspiration Tired of the physical intrigue There's nothing left to imagination Living in a world that treats love so carelessly Don't want no smooth Tallinn' lover I can't play the role It just leaves me cold I need a high powered love I wanna feel that lightning streak High powered love Got to be down in the heart with me Sometimes it's hard to keep believing Too many pretty faces all skin deep Now is there anyone left with teeth just a little uneven And won't spend more time a mirror than he does with me If you're looking for a good time A notch on your gun I ain't the one I want a high powered love Got to have intensity High powered love Don't start the fire if you can't take the heat I can't turn back I'm on a mission I know there's someone out there for me I need a high powered love One that'll defy gravity High powered love Got to be strong and keep on lifting me Yeah I need a high powered love I wanna feel the lightning streak High powered love Got to be down in the heart with me Got to be down in the heart with me
High On A Windy Hill Composer(s): Alex Kramer; Joan Whitney Performer(s): Glenn Miller; and various other artists
High on a windy hill I feel my heart stand still All I can hear you calling my name Into a misty blue I go in search of you There in the shadows calling your name Why are you just beyond me When will I see your face Why do you just elude me And leave me this lonely space Oh, into eternity your love will beckon me I can't forget your voice that calls my name
Into eternity your love will beckon me I can't forget your voice that calls my name..
No No Never Composer(s): Jane Comerford First performance by: Texas Lightning - 2006
My love is stronger now than you'll ever know And it won't ever let you go My love is wider than the ocean can be And it's deeper than the deep blue sea
My love goes higher than a mountain can rise And I see it there, in your eyes My love gets tougher when the going gets rough And believe me, I got more than enough
Keep tryin', babe, keep holdin' on There's a place we belong Where things are good, where love is strong
I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn No, no, never No, no, never
My love shines brighter than a twinklin' star Baby, no matter where you are And my love keeps burnin' like an eternal flame You can feel it when I'm callin' your name
Keep tryin', babe, keep holdin' on There's a place we belong Where things are good, where love is strong
I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn No, no, never No, no, never
Oh... never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone No, no, never No, no, never
High On A Mountain Composer(s): Steve Katz Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears
High on a mountain where the sun still shines And the water runs a little lazy Wild-eyed and lonely, running out of time Some will say I died half-crazy
One time a hustler took me for a ride All because I tried to deceive her She broke me down and laughed and left me weak inside The more I lost my pride, the more it pleased her
Carry me 'cross the water I've been over there once before Stayed with a poor man's daughter I can't live in this country no more
Death beds and ragged threads are my last home Someone should have known of my ending Born bad, I killed a man for sympathy Ain't much left of me worth defending
Carry me 'cross the water I've been over there once before And I stayed with a poor man's daughter I can't live in this country no more
Stars (Are The Windows Of Heaven) Composer(s): Tommie Malie - Jimmy Steiger Performer(s): Ruth Etting and multiple other artists
Two little kids, watching the sky One of them said, I wonder why All of the stars are shining so bright When there wasn't a star last night I've often wondered, what is a star The other one said, "Here's what they are...."
Stars are the windows of heaven Where Angels peek through Up in the sky they keep an eye On kids like me and you
They cry each time we are naughty Their tear drops are the rain But when we're good They are smiling and they shine again
Stars are the windows of heaven Where Angels peek through
High On A Hilltop Composer(s): Joe South Performer(s): Joe South
Away from the noise and up above the mad rushing crowd There's a place where a little guy can stand mighty tall and proud And sometimes late, late, late in the evening When there's nobody else around I can be found, looking down on the town High on a Hilltop There's a half million people all scramblin round down there below Just a face in the crowd, there I was just an hour ago But now late, late, late, in the evening When the world's got the best of me Oh and I gotta be free, that's where I'll be High on a Hill top, high on a hilltop baby High on a hilltop, high on a hilltop, oh yeah I can find piece of mind in the shade of a big oak tree And when it comes my time that's where God's gonna look for me And everyday late, late, late in the evening When the rest of the world goes by And I won't cry, up next to the sky High on a hill top, high on a hilltop baby Why don't you come along That's where we belong, yeah, way up high You can take my hand, take your piece of land, yeah High on a hill top, drop what you're doin Meet Me Up There, oh where the air is rare You can see everything, high on a hilltop Meet me High on a hilltop
I Do Composer(s): Aldo Spiteri - Fabrizio Faniello First performance by: Fabrizio Faniello - 2006
'Cause I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I love you like a fool (Love you like a fool)
I've been there by your side We've been laughing, we have cried Kept the piece of heart you gave From our breakup day

Our lives were torn apart I know we'll get a brand new start When the world just can't decide Where we lay our love
We've done our time alone And never will again Waiting for the day we're back together
I won't give you up, I'll never stop I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I need you
I won't give you up, I'll never stop I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do I do, I do, I love you like a fool (Love you like a fool)
Waiting for the day when I hear you say Our love is here to stay
I won't give you up, I'll never stop (Never stop) I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do (Oh yes, I do) I do, I do, I need you
I won't give you up, I'll never stop I got a piece of your heart, I can't get enough 'Cause I do, I do, I do (Yes, I do) I do, I do, I do (Yes, I do) I do, I do, I love you like a fool (Love you like a fool)
High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me) Composer(s): Ned Washington; Dimitri Tiomkin Performer(s): Frankie Laine; and various other artists
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' On this, our weddin' day Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Wait, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave And I must face a man who hates me Or lie a coward, a craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave
Oh, to be torn 'twixt love and duty S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state prison Vowed it would be my life or his'n I'm not afraid of death but oh What will I do if you leave me?
Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin' Now that I need you by my side
Wait along, (wait along) wait along Wait along, wait along (Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along)
Stars Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Stood out in the rain, let it soak me down Before I called you, I called you Didnt see me there, hidden by the rain Beneath your window, but I saw you Putting on your face before the mirror on the wall Dreaming that the looking glass was me Catching your fondest gazes, living through your fickle phases I love you...
And its getting easier each day to weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you----ou How many years must I be driven by this dream of love with You
Spend my dimes on phones, trying just to talk But you dont answer, you let it ring Spend my nights alone, catching falling stars To give to you, love, theyre just for you For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth And far too many stars have fell on me And as they trail the skies, and burn their paths across my eyes I cry
And its getting easier each day to weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you----ou How many years must I be driven by this dream of love with You

Starry Eyed Composer(s): Mort Garson - Earl Shuman First release by: Gary Stites - 1959
Why am I so starry eyed Starry eyed and mistified Every time I look at you Falling stars come into view
Can it be that am in love With an angel from above I asked my heart my heart replied Yes that's just why your so starry eyed (That's just why your so starry eyed)
When we touch I hear angles sing (Starry eyed) When we kiss I hear wedding bells ring (Starry eyed) Can't explain what I feel inside But I know it's love, true love at last I know why I'm starry eyed Starry eyed and mistified All my dreams are coming true Just because I'm so in love with you
(Starry eyed) When we touch I hear angles sing (Starry eyed) When we kiss I hear wedding bells ring (Starry eyed) I can't explain what I feel inside But I know it's love, true love at last I know why I'm starry eyed Starry eyed and mistified All my dreams are coming true Just because I'm so in love with you
Oh Polly love, oh Polly the rout has now begun And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me I'll take you to the war me love in High Germany
Oh Willy love, oh Willy come list to what I say My feet they are so tender, I can not march away And besides my dearest Willy I am with child by thee Not fitted for the war me love in High Germany
I'll buy for you a horse me love and on it you shall ride And all my life I'll be there riding by your side We'll stop at every ale-house and drink when we are dry We'll be true to one another, get married bye and bye
Oh cursed be the cruel wars that ever they should rise And out of merry England press many a man likewise They pressed my true love from me, likewise my brothers three And sent them to the wars me lad in High Germany
My friends I do not value nor my foes I do not fear Now my love has left me I wander far and near And when my baby it is born and smiling on my knee I'll think of lovely Willy in High Germany
Oh Polly love, oh Polly the rout has now begun And we must go a marching at the beating of the drum Go dress yourself all in your best and come along with me I'll take you to the war me love in High Germany

Starrider Composer(s): Al Greenwood - Michael Leslie Jones First release by: Foreigner - 1977 Covered by: Lana Lane - 2006
I stole a ride on a passing star Not knowing where I was going How near or how far Through years of light, lands of future and past Until the heavenly gates Were sighted at last
Starrider, rider, rider Take me to the stars Starrider, rider, rider Show me where you are
Northern lights flashed by And then they were gone And as old stars would die So the new ones were born
And ever on I sailed Celestial ways And in the light of my years Shone the rest of my days
Speed increasing All control is in the hands of those who know Will they help us grow To one day be starriders
Starrider, rider, rider Show me where you are Starrider, rider, rider Take me to the stars
Speed increasing All control is in the hands of those who know Will they help us grow To one day be starriders
High Fashion Queen Composer(s): Chris Hillman; Gram Parsons Performer(s): The Flying Burrito Brothers; Chris Hillman
There's a place everyone of us can go to Maybe you have been there once or twice Where all your friends just look at you and whisper And they want to give you nothing but advice
When you walk in they all know what you're after And the higher that you get the more they'll see In a dark room filled with music, wine and laughter Your eyes keep searching for her constantly
Is it that one in the corner with her eyes filled with tears Or is she the one who's having fun drinking too much beer Every night it's the same sad old procedure The doorman winks at you on your way out
Cause deep inside he knows just what your after And he's got something you can't live without There's nothing new that can be said about dirt And there's nothing left inside your heart but the same old hurt
Ain't you glad you're a high fashion queen Ain't you glad you're a high fashion queen Ain't you glad you're a high fashion queen
