The Adoration Waltz Composer(s): Larry Stock - Al Lewis Performer(s): David Whitfield
Every time that I waltz with you It's the adoration waltz I adore everything you do In the adoration waltz From your head to the tips of your shoes You're perfection without any faults Skies are blue, dreams come true while I'm holding you In the adoration waltz
From your head to the tips of your shoes You're perfection without any faults Skies are blue, dreams come true while I'm holding you In the adoration waltz
Adorable Composer(s): Richard Whiting - George Marion Performer(s): Ben Selvin & His Orch.
Ive looked at you gently then closely, intently And still I cant find any fault And although you oughtnt be told youre important I so like the way that you walk
Youre so completely adorable Is the way to your heart explorable Would you enjoy it at all if I Try to qualify now as we dance Answer your dancer, Adorable Will this night be divine or deplorable Youre so completely adorable Is there a chance of romance
Adoquines En Tu Cielo, Rosario Composer(s): Mezo Bigarrena Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
Adoquines en tu cielo y un tranvia encalado en el rio el pasado congelado en tu nombre de mujer Rosario es como una novia que no tuvo en un puerto donde quiso ser timonel
Emigrantes y emigrados polizones que en buzones muerden polvo el futuro se te escurre en las manos de tu ayer Rosario tienes cuerpo de amante que uno siente que aun goza aunque tema envejecerer
En tu costa de sirenas los ulises confundidas piden aire tu presente saqueado pide pan para crecer Rosario te ha vestido de madre que cocina lo que queda para no desfallecer Rosario vas a ser esa hembra que no hay macho que domine con un palo ni con dos
Rosario eres como esas potras que te amasan cuando sienten que las tratan con amor Adoquines en tu cielo adoquines en tu cielo
Adonis Composer(s): George Goehring - Edward Warren Performer(s): Petula Clark; Dalida
Adonis j'ai rêvé d'Adonis Et lorsque j'avais seize ans j'imaginais souvent Quel délice vivre au temps d'Adonis Et pouvoir un seul instant le voir et le connaître Cet amour de toujours un beau jour S'est vite envolé quand je t'ai rencontré Adonis tu n'es pas Adonis Mais tu l'as bien remplacé car tu as su me plaire
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Candide, solide, splendide Tu es comme cela tout cela à la fois Sans malice tu es mieux qu'Adonis Tout au moins moi je le crois Puisque c'est toi que j'aime Adonis, Adonis...
What Becomes Of The Broken-Hearted
Composer(s): James Dean - Paul Riser - William Weatherspoon
Performer(s): Jimmy Ruffin
and multiple other artists
As I walk this land with broken dreams I have visions of many things Love's happiness is just an illusion Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken hearted Who had love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe
The fruits of love grow all around But for me they come a tumblin' down Every day heartaches grow a little stronger I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows Searching for light Cold and alone No comfort in sight
Hoping and praying For someone to care Always moving And going nowhere
What becomes of the broken hearted Who had love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind Maybe
I'm searching though I don't succeed But someone look, there's a growing need Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what's become of the broken-hearted Who had love that's now departed? I know I've got to find Some kind of peace of mind I'll be searching everywhere Just to find someone to care I'll be looking everyday I know I'm gonna find a way Nothings gonna stop me now I'll find a way somehow I'll be searching everywhere
What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life? Composer(s): Michel Legrand; Alan Bergman; Marilyn Bergman Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I want to see your face in every kind of light In fields of dawn and forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
What are you doing the rest of your life? North and South and East and West of your life I have only one request of your life That you spend it all with me
All the seasons and the times of your days All the nickels and the dimes of your days Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days All begin and end with me
I want to see your face in every kind of light In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make
Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes In the world of love that you keep in your eyes I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes It may take a kiss or two
Through all of my life Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life All I ever will recall of my life Is all of my life with you
Adolescent Dream Composer(s): Manfred Mann Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band
You're not the great romantic Crystal juke-box queen You're not my old adolescent dream You're not my spiritual gypsy My fifty Chevy Machine You're not my old adolescent dream
Oh no my friend You stand above all that You're my life My love My blood My soul
You're not the way I planned it The way it's meant to be You're not my old adolescent dream
Oh no my friend You stand above all that You're my life My love My blood My soul
What Are You Doing Sunday Composer(s): Russell Brown; Irwin Levine Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn; Bobby Davis
I hear some people get married in the park
on Sunday afternoon And all their friends bring pretty flowers while the band plays a happy tune Now do you want me, do you need me Do you love me like I love you? Ooo
What are you doing Sunday baby? Would you like to marry me? What do you say now? If it's a nice day now What are you doing Sunday baby? Gee, I wanna marry you Oh, what are you doing Sunday afternoon?
Maybe we should wait 'til night to join hands 'neath the stars above And we'll be kissing our first kiss by moonlight as we vow eternal love Now do you want me, do you need me Do you love me like I love you? Ooo
What are you doing Sunday baby? Would you like to marry me? What do you say now? If it's a nice day now What are you doing Sunday baby? Gee, I wanna marry you Oh, what are you doing Sunday afternoon?
Now do you want me, do you need me, baby Love me like I love you?
What are you doing Sunday baby? Would you like to marry me? What do you say now? If it's a nice day now What are you doing Sunday baby? Gee, I wanna marry you
Adolescence Composer(s): Georges Moustaki Performer(s): Georges Moustaki
Je me souviens du temps où j'étais un poète Je filais dans le vent sur ma motocyclette Ma guitare sur le dos Et la tête pleine de mots Je m'arrêtais parfois pour cueillir une fleur Pour cueillir une fille sur le bord d'un chemin Ou bien lorsqu'il y avait une panne à mon moteur Et puis je repartais un peu plus loin Soleil ou mauvais temps c'était toujours la fête Je dormais dans les champs parmi les pâquerettes Me lavais dans le ruisseau En écoutant les oiseaux Je volais quelques fruits et c'était un festin Le vin rouge était rare mais l'ivresse était là Je ne mourais jamais ni de soif ni de faim Et je ne faisais rien de mes dix doigts
Et puis de temps en temps je chantais à tue-tête Quand ça plaisait aux gens je leur faisais la quête Ça ne rapportait pas lourd Mais c'était bien assez pour Pour aller boire un verre avec tous les copains Les amis de toujours de tous les continents Tous les gitans tous les nomades musiciens Et tous ceux qui vivaient de l'air du temps
Je me rappelle ce temps où j'étais un poète J'étais adolescent ni ange ni trop bête Ce temps-là est révolu Je ne le reverrai plus Et s'il m'arrive de croiser sur mon chemin Un de ceux qui ressemblent à celui que je fus Je lui fais un salut un signe de la main C'est mon adolescence que je salue
Je lui fais un salut un signe de la main Ou bien je fais semblant de ne l'avoir pas vu
What Are We Made Of? Composer(s): Brian May Performer(s): Sissel
What are we made of? Can we know what we will be? What are we made of? Think again
There's a wind of change is blowing There's a fire deep inside There's a place we could be going If we could only get it right And the river keeps on flowing And the morning lights the sky But if they said it would be easy I guess they must have lied
What are we made of? Can we know what we will be? What are the chances I can find a better path, a better life, a better me? What are we made of? If you think you know the answer Turn around, think again
Whatever were you thinking? Could you turn you life around? When you know your world is sinking Can you find the solid ground? Is there really a road to heaven? We'll find it And a road leads down below Some way, somewhere Does anything really matter? If only we could know
What are we made of? Is it written in the sand? Where are we sailing? To a strange and distant land Take my hand, sail with me
What are we made of? 'Cos I have to understand
What are we made of? Can we know what we will be? What are the chances There's a place for you and me?
What are we made of? Just for this moment, take your life into your hands You'll decide what you are made of What it is that you can be Think again, my friend Turn around, think again
What Are We Doing Here? Composer(s): John Entwistle Performer(s): John Entwistle
What are we doing here Such a long way away from home We've been away so long Away so long away from home
So what are we doing here In a place where we have no friends All we can do is sit and cry Let the time drag by and think of home
Home, what a day that will be The faces of people we love that we'll see The memories of what we had left will return The present remains the past is just burned
And there's only twenty-five days, six hours, and ten minutes And this'll all be five thousand miles away Whoops there goes another day I'm wishing my life away
So what are we doing here Such a long way away from home We've been away so long Away so long away from home
What are we doing here In a place where we have no friends All we can do is sit and cry Let the time drag by and think of home
Home what a day that will be The faces of people we love that we'll see The memories of what we had left will return The present remains the past is just burned
And there's only twenty-five days, six hours, and ten minutes And this'll all be five thousand miles away Whoops there goes another day I'm wishing my life away

Adiviname Quien Soy Composer(s): Lissette - Willy Chirino Performer(s): Raphael
Adiviname Quien Soy Tu Conoces Mis Canciones Yo Soy Aquel Que Se Expone A Romperse La Garganta Y A Morirse En Lo Que Canta Hasta Tenerte A Tus Pies
Tu Me Has Visto Alguna Vez Subido En Un Escenario O Escuchaste Un Comentario Mientras Canto Mis Pasiones Mis Secretos Y Emociones Al Amor Y Al Desamor
Y Si Eres Observador Por Mi Ademan Y Mi Acento Sabras Que Soy Andaluz Español Ciento Por Ciento Y Armado De Un Corazon De Conquistas Y De Hazañas
No Es Facil Saber Quien Soy Si Solo Me Ves De Afuera Que Sabe Nadie Ni Quisieran Saber Los Que Me Investigan Porque Digan Lo Que Digan Yo Siempre Toco Madera
Por Ella, Mi Compañera Por Mis Hijos Y Mi Suerte Porque Sigo Siendo Fuerte Para Seguir Mi Camino Y Porque Fue Mi Destino Caminar De Frente Al Sol
Y Si Eres Observador Por Mi Ademan Y Mi Acento Sabras Que Soy Andaluz Español Ciento Por Ciento Y Armado De Un Corazon De Conquistas Y De Hazañas
What Am I Living For? Composer(s): Fred Jay; Art Harris Performer(s): Chuck Willis
What am I living for if not for you What am I living for if not for you What am I living for if not for you oh nobody else, nobody else will do
What am I longing for each lonely night To feel your lips to mine, to hold you tight You'll be the only girl my whole life through Oh nobody else, nobody else will do
I want you close to me that's all I know I want you all the time because darling I love you so
What am I living for if not for you What am I living for if not for you What am I living for if not for you Baby nobody else, nobody else will do
What am I living for if not for you Darling nobody else, nobody else will do nobody else, nobody else will do
The Mem'ry Of A Rose Composer(s): Richard Young - Jimmy Kennedy Performer(s): Vera Lynn and multiple other artists
The memry of a rose Is with me as I wander The memry of a rose She gave me long ago As evening comes and goes I dream she waits out yonder And so I take my way Day by day With the memry of a rose
One stolen hour, a promise broken carelessly A lovely bride once said "I will", but not to me...
The southwind when it blows Brings only recollection Theres nothing else to bring So I cling To the memry of a rose...
What Am I Here For? Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Frankie Laine Performer(s): Duke Ellington; and various other artists
What am I here for Living in mis'ry Now that you've gone from my heart? That was my fear for You were my future There was no reason to part
'Till I hope you change your mind And that somehow you will find You are meant to be my own I'll be lost if I'm alone
I know that you remember All that you told me Times when you hold me so tight How could you grieve me How could you leave me Knowing your love is my light
In your ear that should be Thoughts of your return to me I will be happy Patiently waiting Knowing then, that's why I'm here
