I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms)
Composer(s): Eddy Arnold - Vic McAlpin - Howard Horton
First release: Eddy Arnold and his Tennessee Plowboys - 1947
Covered by multiple other artists



I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
Like you'd never been held before
I'll think of you each day and then I'll dream the night away
Till you are in my arms once more

The stars up in the sky know the reason why
I feel so blue when I'm away from you
I'll hold you in my heart till I can hold you in my arms
So darling please wait for me

The stars up in the sky...

If All The World Were Paper
Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Shirley Temple



I can't show how much I love you
In this little face I've got
I don't know how much I love you
But it's an enormous lot

If all the world were paper
And all the seas were ink
I'd write a great big note to you
And tell you what I think
I'd say "I love you dearly"
In letters three miles high
And sign it "Yours sincerely"
Cross my heart and hope to die

If all the stars were diamonds
In golden skies above
They wouldn't be worth that
Without your love
I'd like to write "I love you"
So big that you would blink
If all the world were paper
Yes, and all the seas were ink

Keep The Home Fires Burning
Composer(s): Ivor Novello; Lena Guilbert
Performer(s): John McCormack;
and various other artists



They were summoned from the hillside
they were called in from the glen
And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men
Let no tears add to their hardships
as the soldiers pass along
And although your heart is breaking
make it sing this cheery song

Keep the Home Fires Burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away they dream of home
There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out, 'til the boys come home 

Overseas there came a pleading
"Help a nation in distress" 
And we gave our glorious laddies, honor bade us do no less
For no gallant son of freedom to a tyrant's yoke should bend
And a noble heart must answer to the sacred call of "Friend" 

Keep the Home Fires Burning
While your hearts are yearning
Though your lads are far away they dream of home
There's a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining
Turn the dark cloud inside out 'til the boys come home

Nights Are Longer
Composer(s): Tommy Deering
Performer(s): The Four Freshmen



Nights are longer since you went away
I'll grow stronger each passing day
A season turned, a lesson learned, someday I shall be wise
I'll remember just how heartbreak feels
When I gaze in someone's eyes

I'll be lonesome, but I'll show no grief
They say heartbreak soon finds relief
And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be
Since you went away from me

And then one day I'll realize that it was meant to be
Since you went away from me

If A Man Answers
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
Performer(s): Bobby Darin



If a Man Answers your phone when I call
Oh, there's gonna be some screamin' that ain't all
'Cause if I'm here callin' you
Then who's the who I'm talkin' to?
Why any fool could see
That for sure it ain't me
If a Man Answers your phone then honey we're through!

Now everything between us used to be fine
Till I became a third party
When there ain't no party line
You-hear-me-talkin'

Gonna hang this phone up now and dial again
Oh and their better be a soprano on the other end
'Cause if the voice is baritone
When you told me you'd be home alone
Well,then I'm wastin' my time
Not to mention my dime
So, If a Man Answers your phone then honey I'm gone!

Keep The Mask On The Lone Ranger
Composer(s): John T. Douglas
Performer(s): John T. Douglas



It's plain to see our laws keep getting stranger everyday
The courts won't rest until they've taken all our rights away
Ain't nothing sacred anymore and everyone's in danger
When some fool thinks he can take the mask off the Lone Ranger

Now I'm not one to criticize the way our courts are run
And I don't complain about the harm some liberals have done
But this time they've gone one step too far, they're hitting close to home
We've got to let them know that the Lone Ranger's not alone

So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask on the Lone Ranger

For over thirty years Clayton's lived up to the task
Now some judge has decided he's not fit to wear that mask
Well, it don't make no difference what that judge might have to say
Ain't nothing gonna make it right to take that mask away

So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask On the Lone Ranger

Our courts are all mixed up about just who the bad guys are
Or maybe they don't know that the Lone Ranger wears a star
I guess it's up to you and me to see justice gets done
'Cause if they take his mask away they're hurting everyone

So come on everyone, let's get behind our Lone Ranger
He's fighting bad guys once again and his career's in danger
They're trying to take his mask away and give it to a stranger
So let's do all we can to keep the mask on the Lone Ranger

What Will I Tell My Heart
Composer(s): Irving Gordon - Jack Lawrence - Peter Tinturin
Performer(s): Eddy Howard



I'll try to explain to friends, dear
The reason we two are apart
I know what to tell our friends, dear
But what can I tell my heart?

It's easy to say to strangers
That we played a game from the start
It's easy to lie to strangers
But why tell a lie to your heart?

When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring

I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart?

Wild Bill Hiccup
Composer(s): Brandt; Morgan
Performer(s): Spike Jones & His City Slickers



Singers:
Here is a western we saw last night
Full of action and dynamite
We thrilled and nearly stood on our head
From the moment the hero walked in and said

Bill:
I'm Wild Bill Hiccup and I'm brave and strong
I been ridin' the range for six months long
I been ridin' the range a-roundin' up cattle
I got so many blisters, I'm tall in the saddle

Pete:
I am a villain, I'm mean as can be
I hate the hero 'cause he sings off-key
I'm an ornery cuss and I'm so full o' lead
When a rattlesnakes bites me, he drops down dead
Why, chewing on bullets is my daily routine
(Spitoon Sound) See what I mean?

Indian:
Ugh, me indian, nice and tanned
Uuh, me also businessman
We're taking scalps to make a penny
Sell them to man named Jack Benny

Singers:
Our story takes place in a lawless town
They'd called on Hiccup to tame things down
He has just arived and who should he meet
But a no-good outlaw Poison Pete

Bill:
Pete, I hear you've been a-rustling again

Pete:
And I blew up the bank and I shot twenty men
I held up the stagecoach, and robbed the mail car

Bill:
One of these days you're gonna go too far

Bill:
So you think that you're a pretty good fighter

Pete:
You should have seen what I did to Pink Rider

Bill:
You mean Red Rider?

Pete:
No, he changed his name
He got faded last week in a big crap game

Pete:
I think you're a coward through and through
I'm gonna tell the whole town what I think of you
(Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!) So there!

Bill:
Shootin' off your mouth won't get you anywhere

Bill:
You better leave town if you wanna live
Or I'll fill you full with holes till you look like a sieve
My old six-shooter is a-achin' to spout

Pete:
You better cover up the muzzle, the candy's falling out

Singers:
Now the mood of our story changes fast
Hiccup is back on his ranch at last

Bill:
Well, here I am, I better get dressed
I've got a heavy date, I wanna look my best
I'll take a quick shower and smell like a flower
(Quick Shower Noise) That was a mighty quick shower

Bill:
Who's a-knockin' at my door

Annie:
It's Gopher Annie, the girl you adore

Bill:
Gopher Gal, you've changed somehow

Annie:
Do I look like a cowgirl?
Bill:
No, like a cow

Annie:
Bill, do you like the perfume in my hair

Bill:
Is that the perfume you always wear?

Annie:
No, this is stronger, it's more alive

Bill:
What do you call it?

Annie:
Corral number five

Bill:
Gal, I can see you've been ridin'

Annie
Of course, and I had to put the blindfold on the horse

Bill:
Blindfold a horse, you're crazy in the head

Annie:
If he sees what he's carrying, I'm afraid he'll drop dead

Bill:
Gal, I loves ya, deep down inside
And I've been needin' a wife since old Kate died

Annie:
What, stop just staring, why don't you propose?

Bill:
I can't find a ring the size of your nose

Bill:
Anyway I've got to find Poison Pete
I think he's hidin' at Girdle Creek

Annie:
Girdle Creek, there must be a catch
Is it far from here?

Bill:
It's quite a stretch

Bill:
Well, here we are, it's the end of the ride
Pete and his gang are waitin' inside
Now here's my plan, be as quiet as a mouse
I'll sneak in, and you surround the house

Annie:
Here's your gun

Pete:
I don't need a gun
I'm gonna throw that gang out, one by one

Annie:
I hope you know what you're talking about

Pete:
You just count 'em as I throw 'em out

Annie: 
One!

Pete: Stop counting, that's me!

Keep your hands off her, you know what I said
You know she don't belong to you

She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's go the great big legs
She's a heavy-hipped mama, she's got the great big legs

Walking like she walkin' on soft boiled eggs

Her name is Josie and she ain't so nosey

But boy, she sure is cosey

Keep your hands off, keep your hands off her

You know she don't belong to you

She's a heavy-hipped mama and she's built up straight

You Better Go Now
Composer(s): Irvin Graham - Robert Graham - Bickley S. Reichner
Performer(s): Billie Holiday 
and multiple other artists



You better go now
Because I like you much too much
You have a way with you
You ought to know now
Just why I like you very much
The night was gay with you!

There's the moon above
And it gives my heart a lot of swing
In your eyes there's love
And the way I feel it must be Spring!

I want you so now
You have lips I love to touch
You better go now
You better go because I like you much too much

There's the moon above
And it gives my heart a lot of swing
In your eyes there's love
And the way I feel it must be Spring!

I want you so now
Have lips I love to touch
You better go now
You better go because I like you much too much
You better go because I like you much too much

Performer(s): Pink Floyd



If I were a swan I'd be gone
If I were a train I'd be late
And if I were a good man
I'd talk with you more often than I do

If I were asleep I could dream
If I were afraid I could hide
If I go insane
Please don't put your wires in my brain

If I were the moon I'd be cool
If I were a book I would bend
If I were a good man
I'd understand the spaces between friends

If I were alone I would cry
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry
And if I go insane
Will you still let me join in with the game

If I were a swan I'd be gone
If I were a train I'd be late again
If I were a good man
I'd talk to you more often than I do

Keep Your Hands Off My Baby

Performer(s): Little Eva;
and various other artists



We've been friends for oh, so long
I let you share what's mine
But when you mess with the boy I love
It's time to draw the line

Chorus:
Keep your hands (keep your hands) off my bay-ee-a-by
I ain't gonna tell you but-a one more time
Oh, keep your hands (keep your hands) off my bay-ee-a-by
Girl, you get it through your head
That boy is mine

I don't mind when you lend my clothes
My jewelry and such
But, honey, let's get something straight
There's one thing you don't touch

Keep your hands (keep your hands) off my baby
Girl, you get it through your head
That boy is mine

[instrumental break]

Chorus

(Keep your hands) 
Oh, keep your hands (off my) off my baby (bay-ee-a-by )
I ain't gonna tell you twice
(Keep your hands off my)
He's mine (bay-ee-a-by)
Yay, yay, yeah, he's mine
(Keep your hands off my)
You better watch yourself, now (bay-ee-a-by)

Blue December
Composer(s): Arthur Berman - Ralph Care - Marvin Kahn
Performer(s): Hugo Winterhalter



I remember one blue December
As the snow fell, I fell in love
Till we met that December, my winters were grey
But you changed blue December to May

Then our romance, just like the snow flakes
Disappeared when winter was through
With each December, each blue December
I remember sweet mem'ries of you

Then our romance, just like the snow flakes
Disappeared when winter was through
With each December, each blue December
I remember sweet mem'ries of you

and multiple other artists



If they made me a king I'd be but a slave to you
If I had everything I'd still be a slave to you
If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you

If I ruled the night, stars and moon so bright
Still I'd turn for light to you

If the world to me bowed yet humbly I'd flee to you
If my friends were a crowd I'd turn in my need to you
If I ruled the earth what would life be worth
If I hadn't the right to you

Keep Your Heart
Composer(s): Michael Holliday
Performer(s): Michael Holliday; Pat Boone



(Keep your heart just for me, keep your heart)

Till we meet once again, keep your heart just for me
`Cause it's the first time that we've been apart
Everyone has to part for a while, my dear love
So, till we meet once again, keep your heart
(Keep your heart)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I'm told
But I'm not taking chances, forgive me if I sound bold
Darling, all I'm trying to say is I won't be long away
So, keep your heart just for me, keep your heart

(Till we meet once again, keep your heart just for me)
`Cause it's the first time that we've been apart
(Everyone has to part for a while, my dear love)
So, till we meet once again, keep your heart
(Keep your heart)

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I'm told
But I'm not taking chances, forgive me if I sound bold
Darling all I'm trying to say is I won't be long away
So, keep your heart just for me, keep your heart
(Keep your heart)
Keep your heart

We've Got A World That Swings
Composer(s): Louis Yule Brown - Lil Mattis
Performer(s): Mel Torme



Up at dawning, sleepy and yawning
Still the taste of wine
Then I remember you're mine, and
I've got a world that's fine

What's before me? Routines that bore me
Punch the clock at eight
Then I remember you're mine
And I've got a world that's great

Atom bombs, Cape Kennedy, false alarms
Half the universe is up in arms
So I flip a little, too, until I'm holding you

What's the hassle? I'll buy the castle
We can live like kings
If we're together forever
I've got a world that, you've got a world that
We've got a world that swings

If
Composer(s): David Gates
Performer(s): Bread



If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go? 
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

Keep Your Last Goodnight For Me
Composer(s): Fred Ahlert; Roy Turk
Performer(s): Al Bowlly; Henry Hall & His Orch.



One, two, three, four, Dear, it's very late
And the party soon will be no more

Tell your friends, Dear, everything was great
I'll be waiting in the garden for you

Bid everyone goodnight, but I beg of you
Keep your last goodnight for me

I want to say goodnight walking home with you
Where the moon alone can see.

You say there isn't any other
Then won't you let me take you home to Mother

Bid everyone goodnight, but when you are through
Keep your last goodnight for me

You'll Remember Me
Composer(s): Arthur Hamilton - Stan Worth
Performer(s): Peggy Lee; Shawn Elliott



You can slam the door, you can walk away
You can tear up my notes and my photograph
You can tear my heart in half if it makes you laugh
But I guarantee, you'll remember me
I was part of you once, and I'll always be

Remember me, I taught you how to find love
First love, happy love and blind love
Now you're leaving me behind, love
But part of me will always be part of you

You'll remember me, you'll remember me
When you kiss someone new, you'll remember me
And when someone touches you, gently touches you
You'll remember me, yes, and then you'll see
What it's like to make love to a memory

Remember me, I taught you how to find love
First love, happy love and blind love
Now you're leaving me behind, love
But part of me will always be part of you

I can say good-bye, I can set you free
But as long as you live, you'll remember me

Remember me, I taught you how to find love
First love, happy love and blind love
Now you're leaving me behind, love
But I am part of you now, and you'll remember me

Si tu veux voir détruit l'ouvrage de ta vie
Et sans dire un seul mot te mettre à rebâtir
Ou perdre d'un seul coup le gain de cent parties
Sans un geste et sans un soupir

Si tu peux être amant sans être fou d'amour
Si tu peux être fort sans cesser d'être tendre
Et, te sentant hais, sans haïr à ton tour
Pourtant lutter et te défendre

Si tu peux supporter d'entendre tes paroles
Travesties par des gueux pour qu'existent des sots
Et d'entendre mentir sur toi leurs bouches folles
Sans mentir toi-même d'un mot

Si tu peux rester digne en étant populaire
Si tu peux rester peuple en conseillant les rois
Et si tu peux aimer tous tes amis en frère
Sans qu'aucun d'eux soit tout pour toi

Si tu sais méditer, observer et connaître
Sans jamais devenir sceptique ou destructeur
Rêver, mais sans laisser ton rêve être ton maître
Penser sans n'être qu'un penseur

Si tu peux être dur sans jamais être en rage
Si tu peux être brave et jamais imprudent
Si tu sais être bon, si tu sais être sage
Sans être moral ni pédant

Si tu peux rencontrer triomphe après défaite
Et recevoir ces deux menteurs d'un même front
Si tu peux conserver ton courage et ta tête
Quand tous les autres les perdront

Alors les Rois, les Dieux, la Chance et la Victoire
Seront à tout jamais tes esclaves soumis
Et, ce qui vaut mieux que les Rois et la Gloire
Tu seras un homme, mon fils
