Abie's Irish Rose Composer(s): Mel Tormé - Robert Wells
Have you seen Abie? He's like a baby with a brand new toy I've never seen such a bundle of joy He says that Rosie Made his life cozy And I know it's true And you can make the same thing happen to you Here's what you do
Take a little time to tip your hat And don't live a life dull of may-bes A sample example is Abie's Irish Rose She doesn't mind if skies are cloudy Or if birds forget to sing What ever happens she'll find a little good in ev'rything You don't have to be a democrat To walk up and chat with your neighbor You can't say a hand-shake is labor, heaven knows If you laugh at the bad things Work at the glad things Remember to say your "Hellos" You'll be happy as Abie And Abie's Irish Rose

Alone, alone I am crying (Oh, how I cry) I am yours to commend (I'm yours to commend) Take this love that I give you (my, my love I give you) Here's my heart in my hand

A Million Moons Ago Composer(s): Dick Gilbert - Paul Insetta Performer(s): Jerry Vale
A million moons ago you said I love you so Then suddenly you took your love from me A million times I've tried But a million smiles can't hide the ache that lingers way down deep inside
A million sighs have past since you said our love would last For with the dawn I found that you were gone A million stars so bright grew cold and lost their light A million moons ago last night
A million moons ago you said I love you so Then suddenly you took your love from me A million stars so bright grew cold and lost their light A million moons ago last night
How Does The Wine Taste? Composer(s): Matt Dubbey; Harold Karr Performer(s): Barbra Streisand; Vikki Carr; Kristopher McDowell; Carmen McRae
How does the wine taste? Does it stain your lips? What is the fruit-like? Just beyond my finger tips? Just out of reach I see so much I cannot taste and mustn't touch Tied to my little world My safe little world What would it be like If I broke the string? Would it be lovely And a little frightening? There is so much I've never understood How does the wine taste? is it good? How does the wine taste? Does it make you glow? How does the wine taste? How does the wine taste? How does the wine taste? I think you know! Ooom...
A Million Miles To The City Composer(s): Tom T. Hall Performer(s): Tom T. Hall; Bobby Bare
I remember it now we were kids back then living down on the farm We were told that the city could only bring us harm Well how far away is the city you know that's a great big town And Barbara said why it's a million miles and then the story got around It's a million miles to the city from the hills and valleys we know It's a million miles to the city and some day we all wanna go
There was a town nearby but a town is a town and a city that's somethin' else Our daddy had been to a city but he never was much help The buildings're taller than oak trees ah but we knew better than that 'Cause ain't nobody could climb that high the city was wide and flat It's a million miles...
The years have passed and we have grown and traveled far and wide The cities have changed the kids we were we see it in each other's eyes Lord I'd love to go back to those hills again to the boy I used to be Where the leaves in the wind and the whippoorwills Were all just a part of the land like me It's a million miles...

A Million Miles Away Behind The Door Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - André Previn Performer(s): Anita Gordon
Send back the world There's too much night for me The sky is much too high To shelter me when darkness falls
Four cabin walls Would be just right for me I need a threshold I can cross When I can sit and gather moss Forevermore A million miles away behind the door
Roll up the plains There's too much view for me There's so much space between The waiting heart, and whispered word It's never heard
One room will do for me Where every evening I can stare At someone smiling from his chair Across the floor A million miles away behind the door
Where every evening I can stare At someone smiling from his chair Across the floor A million miles away behind the door
No fears No fools No lies No rules Just doing with my life What life is for A million miles away behind the door
How Does It Feel? Composer(s): Joe Sherman; George David Weiss Performer(s): Nat King Cole
How does it feel when you find that your dreams are through? How does it feel when you know that the laugh's on you? Thought you were smart for breaking my heart When you took that exit bow Someone you met has made you forget, so who's the smart one now?
How does it feel when you find that your big romance Wasn't so real, it was only a song and dance? Maybe it's fun to kiss and then run And hurt somebody too
But how does it feel Now that it's happened to you?
But how does it feel now that it's happened to How does it feel, now that it's happened But how does it feel Now that it's happened to you?
A Million Miles Away Composer(s): David Paich Performer(s): Toto
I don't want to know the reason why you don't love me I don't want to know the reason why you don't care I don't want to know the reason why you're leavin' me I'm not the only one that lost my love way down there - way down there
I don't want to hear the reason why you don't need me I don't want to hear the reason why you don't stay I don't want to hear the reason why you're seeing him All I know is that I want you back, but you're
A million miles away and it's killin' me inside There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love When I'm a million miles away I don't want to be the reason why you don't love me And I don't want to be the reason why you don't care I don't want to be the reason why you're leavin' me I'm not the only one that lost my love
A million miles away and it's killin' me inside There's a stranger in a carriage and he's takin' her out tonight The devil's ridin' on a full moon and he sends his love When I'm a million miles away
He sends his love and I'm a hundred million miles away
How Do You Sleep? Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon; and various other artists
So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise You better see right through that mother's eyes Those freaks was right when they said you was dead The one mistake you made was in your head Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when your momma tell you anything The only thing you done was yesterday And since you're gone you're just another day Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?
Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two But pretty soon they'll see what you can do The sound you make is music to my ears You must have learned something in all those years Ah, how do you sleep? Ah, how do you sleep at night?
A Million Dreams Ago Composer(s): Lew Quadling - Eddy Howard - Dick Jurgens Performer(s): Harry Cool and multiple other artists
I can remember love's burning ember When after the laughter came tears Each word that was spoken, I kept as a token Among my souvenirs...
You told me it was so, a million dreams ago You held me in your arms, a million dreams ago So many dreams have flown, so many nights alone I guess I should have known, it couldn't be
I'll lock my mem'ries here in my heart And here in my heart they'll stay And through the years they'll always be part A part of a lovely day
Goodbye, good luck old friend I'll smile and just pretend There was no end A million dreams ago
The Show Is Over Composer(s): Petula Clark Performer(s): Petula Clark
The show is over now Our song is dying This is the end my friend There isn't any more
You played the part so well There's no denying For I believed each lie from lips that I adore I was a fool to feel that your love was real But how was I to know it was just a great big show
The stage is empty now the lights are fading and as the curtain falls my heart calls tell me why the show is over now and here am I
(I was a fool to feel that your love was real) But how was I to know it was all a great big show
The stage is empty now The lights are fading And as the curtain falls My heart calls tell me why The show is over now and here am I
How Do You Keep The Music Playing? Composer(s): Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman; Michel Legrand Performer(s): James Ingram; and various other artists
How do you keep the music playing? How do you make it last? How do you keep the song from fading too fast? How do you lose yourself to someone? And never lose your ways How do you not run out of new things to say? And since we're always changing How can it be the same? And tell me how year after year You're sure your heart will fall apart Each time you hear his name I know the way I feel for you It's now or never The more I love the more that i'm afraid That in your eyes I may not see forever.. Forever...
If we can be the best of lovers Yet be the best of friends If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows With any luck, then I suppose The music never ends
I know the way I feel for you It's now or never! (How do you keep the music playing?) The more I love the more that I'm afraid (How do you make it last) That in your eyes I may not see forever Forever... (How do you keep the song from fading, keep the song from fading too fast) If we can be the best of lovers Yet be the best of friends If we can try with everyday to make it better as it grows With any luck, then I suppose The music never ends
A Mi Próximo Amor Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo
A mi próximo amor le daré lo mejor que me ha dado la vida mi sonrisa más fiel, mi infantil madurez y mis horas vividas A mi próximo amor le daré tanto amor como tenga conmigo y en sus ojos veré, y en sus manos veré como crece ante mí Le daré la inquietud de los años más bellos, que viví y jamás sentirá, la profunda maldad que aprendí junto a ti Ese próximo amor será tan de verdad como el fuego y el viento no tendrá que mentir, ni tendré que decir nunca más que lo siento será fuerte y capaz, será grande y audaz como las tempestades y pequeño a la vez, refrescante a la vez como lluvia de abril Y en su piel grabaré la venganza más dulce, para ti cuando te hablen de mi, y te duela saber que me siento feliz En mi próximo amor no habrá nunca rencor ni silencios que hieran y gritar será hablar, y el hablar será un mar de palabras sinceras sin dolor la veré junto a mi envejecer sin dejar de ser niños y hasta el último adiós, sentiremos los dos la alegría de vivir Yo sé bien que ese amor es un sueño que el odio, crea en mi pero quiero pensar, para herirte aún más en mi próximo amor En su piel grabaré la venganza más dulce, para ti cuando te hablen de mi y te duela saber, que me siento feliz Yo sé bien que ese amor es un sueño que el odio, crea en mi pero quiero pensar, para herirte aún más en mi próximo amor

Okay mijn tijd is om Dit wordt een lied van afscheidswoorden Ik zong mijn levenslied voor iedereen Die het graag hoorden Dat lied is net als ik Het wil aan u veel liefde geven Mijn lied, mijn levenslied Dat is mijn leven Al werd ik vaak verguisd Veel pijn doen die herinneringen Ik bleef mijn levenslied met hart en ziel Toch altijd zingen De weg die ik moest gaan Die ging beslist niet over rozen Maar toch, ik zette door Ik had gekozen Ik heb gebracht waar u van hield En voor kritiek nog nooit geknield Er zei een stem diep in mijn hart Geef het niet op, vergeet je smart Dus zong ik door, altijd maar door Dit was mijn leven Ik denk zo graag terug Met dankbaarheid in mijn gedachten Hoe vaak de mensen mij Spontaan en blij hun bloemen brachten De liefde en het applaus Die zij mij steeds hebben gegeven Die draag ik in mijn hart Mijn hele leven En breekt voor mij de tijd eens aan Dat ik voor altijd heen moet gaan Dan zal mijn laatste bede zijn Aan alle mensen groot en klein Vergeet me niet, ik had u lief Mijn hele leven

Yo quiero ser Ay nada mas Preferiré y recordar Un nuevo amor Tanto mejor Quisiera olvidar Tanto la dejar Quisiera vivir Ay nada mas O si my way
