You Forgot All The Words (While I Still Remember The Tune)
You Forgot All The Words (While I Still Remember The Tune) Composer(s): Bernie Wayne - E.H. Hay Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Love was like a song A lovely melody Our hearts would sing along In perfect harmony But you forgot all the words While I still remember the tune Each time our lips would cling I heard a serenade Of love and youth and spring Forever to be played But you forgot all the words While I still remember the tune We used to dance Instead of walk We used to sing Instead of talk Why was our love song That used to be Only the start of the blues for me But songs are funny things They never really die And so my hope still clings That someday you will try To just remember the words For I still remember the tune When lonely lights are lit And midnight songs will start Our song I must admit Still fills my hopeful heart So please remember the words For I still remember the tune

Bought a souvenir in London Got to hide it from my mom Can't declare it at the Customs But I'll have to take it home Tried to keep it confidential But the news is leaking out Got a souvenir in London There's a lot of it about

Walk By Yourself Composer(s): Pete Agnew; Ronnie Leahy; Dan McCafferty; Jimmy Murrison Performer(s): Nazareth
Walk by yourself, I've offered you my hand in friendship You live alone; don't want to see in my house You never contend, but you get your seat at ringside You say you're self-made; least you're taking the blame
You used to take a chance, I remember You used to roll the bones, seems like a long time ago When the chips were down, you left me At the rendezvous, I was on my own
Chorus: Excuse me if I make you nervous But I could never put my trust in a visionary Phone's dead when you call room service You're a troublemaker, you're a mercenary Don't wear no black dress But you're a widow maker You want the money
Better see your soul, now you're reaping a sore harvest When the horn sounds, your house it's gonna be Jericho In the superbowl, your quarterback is broken When the day it comes, see me laughing
Chorus
You make me n,n,n,n,nervous Walk by yourself, I've offered you my hand in friendship You live alone; don't want to see in my house You never contend, but you get your seat at ringside You say you're self-made; at least you're taking the blame
The Southern Sky Composer(s): Killing Joke Performer(s): Killing Joke
Peace at the break of dawn, mist on the shore Time is healing everything, time is standing still A voice, that is singing in my head With the breeze, the waves, the sea As we start to move as one
Down from the hills, into the forest Walking on sand, into the water I've been dreaming - islands on my mind
Down from the hills, into the forest Walking on sand, into the water I've been dreaming - under a southern sky
Bright are the scented flowers, many shades of green Water from the purest spring - man is finding wealth Down by the clearing in glades of fern and palm Invocations rising from servants of the Star And walk with the breeze, the waves, the earth As we move in unison
All the seeds blowing further to the south Continuity when all's said and done All the seeds blowing further to the south Continuity when all's said and done
Walk Between Raindrops Composer(s): Donald Fagen Performer(s): Donald Fagen; and various other artists
A shadow crossed the blue Miami sky As we hit the causeway by the big hotels We fought now I can't remember why After all the words were said and tears were gone We vowed we'd never say goodbye
When we kissed we could hear the sound of thunder As we watched the regulars rush the big hotels We kissed again as the showers swept the Florida shore You opened your umbrella But we walked between the raindrops back to your door
In my dreams I can hear the sound of thunder I can see the causeway by the big hotels That happy day we'll find each other on that Florida shore You'll open your umbrella And we'll walk between the raindrops back to your door
A Sound I Never Heard
Composer(s): F. Carillo - G. Kooymans
Performer(s): Golden Earring
I'm kicking down the road
I got a top hat on
With my head in overload
I heard a radio song
There was something in the air
I think I know it well
Watchin' everybody stare
You know I never tell
You knocked me to the floor
With a sound I never heard
With a sound I never heard
I was walking down the street
Saw you sneakin' out your house
Know who you're gonna meet
In the criminal hour
Saw you slip right through the door
You whispered just a word
Then you knocked me to the floor
With a sound I've never heard
Walk Away Renee Composer(s): Michael Brown; Bob Calilli; Tony Sansone Performer(s): Left Banke; and various other artists
And when I see the sign that points one way The lot we used to pass by every day Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame From deep inside the tears I'm forced to cry From deep inside the pain I chose to hide Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes For me it cries Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall Still find a way to haunt me though they're so small Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes For me it cries Just walk away Renee You won't see me follow you back home The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same You're not to blame
Walk Away From Love Composer(s): Charles Kipps Performer(s): David Ruffin;
and various other artists
(I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) (I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
It's not that I don't love you You know how much I do And it's not that I've found someone To take the place of you
It's just the fear that lives within me Everytime you touch my hand And a dread that shakes my body That even I don't understand
So I'm leaving (I'm leaving, yes I am) This time I'm playin' it smart (I'm leaving, yes I am) I'm gonna walk away from a love (walk away from love) Before love breaks my heart
(I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
Ooh, you're clinging to me tighter Then you ever have before, I don't understand it But I know it's gonna take everything I got To keep walkin' out the door
But those arms you got around me We'll let me go someday And I'd rather leave you holding on Than pushing me away
So I'm leaving (I'm leaving, yes I am) This time I'm playin' it smart (I'm leaving, yes I am) I'm gonna walk away from a love (walk away from love) Before love breaks my heart
(I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) Oh baby It's not that I don't want you, You know how much I do, oh baby (I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) I'm leaving, baby (I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) This time I'm playin' it smart Oh, don't break my heart (gonna walk away, gonna walk away) Oh, I'm walkin' away baby (I'm gonna walk away from a love) (gonna walk away, gonna walk away)
A Song To Mama Composer(s): Helen Carter - June Carter Cash - Glenn Phillip Jones Performer(s): The Carter Family
Dear, dear Mama, now that we're older We can see the load on your tired old shoulders Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier Mama, you mean a lot to me
She always got me out of bed early Sunday morn' And took me out to church where I could learn about Lord Mama tried to tell me how my life was gonna be But I was young and wild, and it was hard for me to see
Dear Mama, now that we're older We can see the load on your tired old shoulders Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier Mama, you mean a lot to me
(Mama, you always taught me right from wrong when I was growin' up And it's a pity that most people like me have to try everything for themselves I realize now that you always knew just what you were talkin' about And mama for all that hard work you did And for the sacrifices you made for us I just wanna say, thanks a lot)
Dear Mama, now that we are older We can see the load on your tired old shoulders Mama you're a trooper, Mama you're a soldier Mama, you mean a lot to me Mama, you mean a lot to me
Walk Away Composer(s): Elmer Bernstein; Carolyn Leigh Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Walk away, please go Before you throw your life away A life that I could share for just a day We should have met some years ago For your sake I say Walk away, just go
Walk away, and live A life that's full With no regret Don't look back at me Just try to forget Why build a dream that cannot come true So be strong, reach the stars now Walk away, walk on
If I heard your voice I'd beg you to stay So don't say a word Just run, run away
Goodbye my love My tears will fall Now that you've gone I can't help but cry But I must go on I'm sad that I have been searching so long You, I love you but told you Walk away, walk on, walk on

(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na....) There's a song I'd like to sing Do you know the song I mean? It don't always sound the same But it's always good to sing Maybe it don't mean a thing It's a pretty little tune It's a song I'd like to sing And I'd love to sing with you And we can get to know each other Like a sister and a brother Like a father and a mother Like a woman and a man We can sing along together Just enyoying 'til it's over It don't need to last forever If we want it to it can
Walk And Talk It Composer(s): Lou Reed Performer(s): Lou Reed
I got horrors in my luney tunes I got dreams and you do, too I got ten wheel drive, pick you up into your ears
I got retake carbine and in my eyelids gear I got no one to love and no one to fear
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
If you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat
I got dimes in my shoes, real nice I got bells that are laid on ice I got dreams, let me mix it with a little gin
I got cruel when I told you woman, I'm hard But me is the one thing baby, you ain't got
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
Yeah, if you're moving too fast, don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat
You better walk it, and talk it less you loose that beat You better loose yourself, mama And rock yourself right off of your feet
Yeah, if you're moving too fast, now don't you want it to last You better walk it, talk it You better walk it as you talk less you loose that beat Ah - ha - ha

I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see There's no one more important to me Darlin' can't you please see through me Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you

Se fossi solamente un'abitudine il caldo che ti resta dopo che il sole va e nuvole che il vento unisce la sbronza che non può passare potrei davvero io non amarti più Se fossi come un sogno che non ricordi più fiore dentro il libro di matematica la quiete dopo la tempesta stanca fine di una festa potrei davvero io non amarti più Ma tu non sei mai niente non somigli proprio a niente sei fatto per me ma non so come Sei sempre molto meglio di quel che mi viene in mente quasi come musica La tua vita sì è insieme a me Ma non so come dire quello che c'è tra noi cercando posso dire le frasi che tu vuoi ma non sarà abbastanza io non so proprio vivere senza quasi una musica la vita insieme a te Quasi una musica la vita insieme a te
Now I know, how it feels when you walk out that door Now I know,how it feels when you don't love me anymore I don't care if this is what is meant to be I don't care, as long as you come back to me
Oeee I have to But I don't want to I just have to (And I need to) Sing a little song for you Sing a little song,sing a little song for you
Now I know,how it feels when someone's givin up on you Now I know,how it feels when you don't care about the thinks I do I had hoped,hoped you would always be near But I'll go, go for whatever's meant to be
Oeee I have to But I don't want to I just have to (And I need to) Sing a little song for you Sing a little song, sing a little song for you
Oh listen than here's my voice Listen what I've got to say Other think than there's another choise But to sing my troubles away And try to live my life day after day I'm singin my troubles away And try to live my life day after day
