When October Goes Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Diane Schuur; and various other artists
And when October goes, the snow begins to fly Above the smokey roofs, I watch the planes go by The children running home beneath a twilight sky Oh, for the fun of them, when I was one of them
And when October goes, the same old dream appears And you are in my arms to share the happy years I turn my head away to hide the helpless tears Oh how I hate to see October go
And when October goes, the same old dream appears And you are in my arms to share the happy years I turn my head away to hide the helpless tears Oh how I hate to see October go
I should be over it now, I know It doesn't matter much how old I grow I hate to see October go
When Numbers Get Serious Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Paul Simon
I have a number in my head Though I don't know why it's there When numbers get serious You see their shape everywhere Dividing and multiplying Exchanging with ease When times are mysterious Serious numbers are easy to please Take my address Take my phone Call me if you can Here's my address Here's my phone Please don't give it to some madman Hey hey, whoa whoa Complicated life Numbers swirling thick and curious You can cut them with a knife You can cut them with a knife Two times two is twenty-two Four times four is forty-four When numbers get serious They leave a mark on your door Urgent. Urgent. A telephone is ringing in the hallways When times are mysterious Serious numbers will speak to us always That is why a man with numbers Can put your mind at ease We've got numbers by the trillions Here and overseas Hey hey, whoa whoa Look at the stink about Japan All those numbers waiting patiently Don't you understand? Don't you understand? So wrap me Wrap me Wrap me do In the shelter of your arms I am ever your volunteer I won't do you any harm I will love innumerably You can count on my word When times are mysterious Serious numbers Will always be heard When times are mysterious Serious numbers will always be heard And after all is said and done And the numbers all come home The four rolls into three The three turns into two And the two becomes a One

You took my sunshine away, yeah ooh, ooh, ooh You took my sunshine away, yes you did, ooh, ooh, ooh You took my sunshine away, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh You took my sunshine away, oh

The castles we used to build together Were the sweetest stories ever told Maybe we will live them all again And my blue moon again will turn to gold

I don't care if the weather's fair or if skies are gray I don't frown when the rain comes down on a rainy day It may storm and thunder for the longest while Still I'll say it's a lovely day When I see my baby smile
I don't brood when the price of food goes away up high Didn't mind when I woke to find, that the town went dry Let the skies be cloudy for the longest while Blue or gray, every things O.K. When I see my baby smile
When my baby smiles at me Oh what a beautiful day All my troubles go hurrying by Just like bubbles they fly to the sky And I never ask the weather man Whether it's fair or warmer Rain or shine the weather's fine when my baby smiles
Ain't No Song Composer(s): Joey Levine - David Spinozza Performer(s): James Taylor
There ain't no melody And I can't find a harmony If there were a way to say it You know I would have played it
Well, I'm a man of few words Trying to find a rhyme And finally it occurred to me That I'm wasting my time There ain't no rhyme or reason Ain't no time or season Ain't no way around it I know I would have found it
There ain't no song in the whole wide world Could hardly sing without you There ain't no song in the whole wide world To tell you the way that I feel
Painters use their eyes To show us what they see But when that canvas dries We all see it differently
There ain't black or white There ain't no day or night There ain't no way around it You know I would have found it
No, No, No, I might as well pack it on up Not even this song's gonna tell you the way that I feel
When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba (To Do the Rock and Roll)
When Mexico Gave Up the Rhumba (To Do the Rock and Roll) Composer(s): Gale Jones Performer(s): Mitchell Torok
Down in Mexico, at each high noon Siesta is the thing You can find me sleepin' out in the shade While the birds softly sing But from the radio, there comes a U.S. show And the disc-jockey's playin' the blues Before they know what's happened They're up and clappin' To the tune of the blue suede shoes
One, two, and then rock It's the funniest thing ever told The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba To do the rock and roll
In the middle of town, the pecker bullring stands It reaches to the sky Inside's a matador, he's got his sword in hand And a bull is fixing to die But from the phonograph, there comes a frantic sound And the sword drops from his hands The bull begins to dance, around in the dust To the beat of a picker brass band
One, two, and then rock It's the funniest thing ever told The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba To do the rock and roll
In the summertime, the tourists come Expecting to see the scenes Of the quiet places and the quiet faces They read of in magazines But in their amazement, when they find this craze Is not in the U.S. alone They used to dance `neath the stars to the Spanish guitars But now they do it to a saxophone
One, two, and then rock It's the funniest thing ever told The day that Mexico gave up the rhumba To do the rock and roll

When Love Is Young
Composer(s): Rida Johnson Young - M. Melville Ellis
Performer(s): Harry Woodruff
The beads on the wine in our glorious youth And life's full of fervor and zest And the world is made bright by the light of a smile Or the sound of the voice we love best There's a thrill of delight in the touch of her hand All the Earth's bubbling over with joy Oh! the love that we give to the girls that we love When we're boys, boys, boys
There are various way that a fellow may love And most of us sample them all And the older and stronger you are when it strikes The harder and deeper you fall But there's no love on earth that holds half the thrill No love that has half the joys As love that we give to the girls that we love When we're boys, boys, boys
When love is young in Springtime And boys are youthful, too And girls are so alluring What can a fellow do? A look, a smile, a dimple You're caught, you're captured, stung There's danger in the very air When love is young
