A Steel Guitar And A Glass Of Wine Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
Just give me a steel guitar, a glass of wine And let me drink to a love I thought was mine A love I thought was true to me But now I'm drinking to her memory A steel guitar and a glass of wine While my tears they glisten and the candles shine Oh candle-glow, oh candle bright Tell me who she holds tonight
And bring me wine And make the music mine Play another set So that I'll forget
Mmm, bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine And let me toast her just one more time Oh candle-glow, before you dim Tell her what a fool she's been
And bring me wine Make the music mine Play another set So that I'll forget
And bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine And let me toast her just one more time Oh candle-glow, before you dim Tell her what a fool she's been
And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so And one more thing before I go Here's a secret, I still love her so

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay He got the action, he got the motion Yeah, the boy can play Dedication devotion Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman He do the song about the knife He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story Hand me down my walkin' shoes Here come Johnny with the power and the glory Backbeat the talkin' blues He got the action, he got the motion Yeah, the boy can play Dedication devotion Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman He do the song about the knife He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay He got the action, he got the motion Yeah the boy can play Decidation devotion Turning all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk There's just a song in the trouble and the strife You do the walk, you do the walk of life

Versions In Other Languages: 1964 - Un P'tit Morceau De Sucre (by Christiane Legrand) 1965 - Kom Lidt Sukker I Skeen (by Raquel Rastenni)
In ev'ry job that must be done There is an element of fun you find the fun and snap! The job's a game
Nad ev'ry task you undertake Becomes a piece of cake A lark! Aspree! It's very clear to me
That a... Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down The medicine go down-wown The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest Has very little time to rest While gathering his Bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit He has a merry tune to toot He knows a song Will move the job along
For a... Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down The medicine go down-wown The medicine go down Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down In a most delightful way
Un P'tit Morceau De Sucre ((Adapted from: A Spoonful Of Sugar (by Julie Andrews) - 1964)) ((Danish Version: Kom Lidt Sukker I Skeen (by Raquel Rastenni) - 1965)) Composer(s): Richard M. Sherman - Robert B. Sherman - René Lucades Performer(s): Christiane Legrand - 1964 Covered by: Isabelle Aubret - 2006; Enzo Enzo - 2009
Mary Poppins: Dans tout travail, il y a un élément de plaisir Trouvez-le, et clac! Le travail devient un jeu Et chaque tâche peut devenir Selon l'humeur un plaisir Tous les soupirs Ne valent pas mieux qu'un sourire C'est le morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler La médecine à couler La médecine à couler Juste un morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!
L'oiseau faisant son nid douillet N'a guère le temps pour se reposer Il va cueillir des brins de laine et de bois Bien que pris par ses occupations Il siffle l'air gai d'une chanson Ce qui rend surtout le travail beaucoup moins long C'est le morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler La médecine à couler La médecine à couler Juste un morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!
Quand les abeilles travaillent De fleur en fleur sous le ciel bleu Elles vont puis elles viennent Et volent tout en bourdonnant Mais aussi elles font des agapes En profitant de chaque étape Et c'est ce qui fait Que la tâche est bien plus gaie
Jane et Michael: C'est le morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler La médecine à couler La médecine à couler Juste un morceau de sucre Qui aide la médecine à couler Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!

Composer(s): Roy Orbison - Joe Melson - Didier Golemanas
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 2009
Coeur Celui qui est seul Celui qui est seul
Celui qui est seul Aussi seul que je l'étais Celui qui est seul Celui là seul connait La longue agonie D'attendre en vain La main d'un ami L'amour au moins Seul celui qui est seul Mais pas seulement Comprend celui qui est seul
Coeur Celui qui est seul Celui qui est seul
Celui qui est seul Etait tout seul avec vous Celui qui est seul Sa solitude est pour vous Donner lui demain Une autre chance De parler enfin De ses silences Qu'il ne soit plus seul Seulement celui Celui qui est seul
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
