When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New Composer(s): Bert Douglas; Charles McCarthy; Joseph Solieri Performer(s): Jimmy Roselli; and various other artists
Shades of night are falling Bringing memories Memories of a bygone day Though it may be December Though we're old and gray To me you're still my blushing bride of May
When your old wedding ring was new And each dream that we dreamed came true I remember with pride how we stood side by side What a beautiful picture you made as my bride Even though silver crowns your hair I can still see those gold ringlets there Love's old flame is the same As the day I changed your name When your old wedding ring was new
Alabama Jubilee Composer(s): George L. Cobb - Jack Yellen Performer(s): Arthur Collins & Byron Harlan and multiple other artists
You ought to see deacon Jones When he rattles the bones Old parson Brown foolin' 'roun like a clown Aunt Jemima who is past eighty three Shoutin' "I'm full o' pep! Watch yo' step!, watch yo' step! One legged Joe danced aroun' on his toe Threw away his crutch and hollered, "let 'er go!" Oh, honey, hail! hail! the gang's all here For an Alabama jubilee
Mandolins, violins Hear the darkies tunin' up, the fun begins Come this way, don't delay Better hurry, honey dear, or you'll be missin' Music sweet, rag-time treat Goes right to your head and trickles to your feet It's a reminder, a memory finder Of nights down in old Alabam'
Hear that flute, it's a beaut And the tunes it's tootin', tootsie, ain't they cute? Let's begin, it's a sin To be missin' all this syncopated music! Oh, you Jane, once again Give your legs some exercise to that refrain Boy, that's what makes me so dreamy and takes me Back home to my old Alabam'
When Your Lover Has Gone Composer(s): Einar Aaron Swan Performer(s): Gene Austin; and various other artists
What good is the scheming, the planning and dreaming That comes with each new love affair The dreams that we cherish, so often might perish And leaves you with castles in air
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies At break of dawn, there is no sunrise When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring What lonely hours, with memories lingering Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything When your lover has gone
Alabama Highway Composer(s): Steve Young Performer(s): Steve Young; Jim McGuire; Willie Heath Neal

When You Wore A Tulip Composer(s): Percy Wenrich; Jack Mahoney Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis; and various other artists
When you wore a tulip A sweet, yellow tulip And I wore a big red rose When you caressed me 'Twas then Heaven blessed me Such a blessing no one knows You made life cheery When you called me dearie 'Twas down where the blue grass grows Oh, it was sweeter than julep When you wore a tulip And I wore a big red rose
Ala De Colibrí Composer(s): Silvio Rodríguez Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
Hoy me propongo fundar un partido de sueños talleres donde reparar alas de colibríes Se admiten tarados, enfermos, gordos sin amor tullidos, enanos, vampiros y días sin sol
Hoy voy a patrocinar el candor desahuciado esa crítica masa de Dios que no es pos ni moderna Se admiten proscritos, rabiosos, pueblos sin hogar desaparecidos deudores del banco mundial
Por una calle descascarada por una mano bien apretada
Hoy voy a hacer asamblea de flores marchitas de deshechos de fiesta infantil, de piñatas usadas de sombras en pena -del reino de lo natural que otorgan licencia a cualquier artefacto de amar
Por el levante por el poniente por el deseo por la simiente
por tanta noche por el sol diario en compañía y en solitario
Ala de colibrí liviana y pura Ala de colibrí para la cura
Al venir hacia acá iba mirando el color de la acera Era gris, como siempre algo sucia y gastada Tambien conté las grietas y había cuarenta y tres nidos de hormigas
Al venir hacia acá iba escuchando el sonido del aire Era confuso y mezclado en camiones y puertas La gente se besaba y había ruidos sin nombre ni apariencia
Al venir hacia acá iba lentamente como una ceremonia secreta del camino Al venir hacia acá iba sonriendo tranquilo y poderoso como cualquiera que anda
Al venir hacia acá iba tocando la piel de algún árbol Eran húmedas, suaves (eran pieles de árbol) Tambien corté unas hojas para soltarlas al aire de la noche
When You Were Sweet Sixteen Composer(s): James Thornton Performer(s): The Mills Brothers; and various other artists
You were sweet sixteen, you were sweet sixteen
I love you as I never loved before! Since first I met you on the village green Come to me, or my dream of love is o'er! I love you as I loved you When you were sweet When you were sweet sixteen
When first I saw the lovelight in your eye And dreamt the world held naught but joy for me And even though we drifted far apart I never dreamt of what I dream of thee
I love you as I never loved before! Since first I met you on the village green Come to me, or my dream of love is o'er! I love you as I loved you When you were sweet When you were sweet sixteen
Al Ponerse El Sol Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro Performer(s): Raphael
Nada se termina, todo vuelve a comenzar Mueren ilusiones y otras nuevas naceran La luna de ayer noche esta noche brillara Las olas que se alejan a las playas volveran
Al ponerse el sol se llena el cielo de estrellas Al ponerse el sol la noche empieza a nacer Se puede hundir una vida y comenzarla otra vez Al ponerse el sol comienza el amor
Por fin he comprendido que mi vida no acabo Mi vida empieza ahora porque tengo un nuevo amor
When You Were Queen Of The May Composer(s): Chas. E. Baer; Marion Raybould
Let me kiss those tears away Smooth the locks now silver gray Locks once gold Let me whisper sweet and low Love tales whisper'd long ago Never old You remember how the mocking birds were singing So sweetly singing Their love notes ringing All the joys of love's young dream their songs were bringing When my love I told. . . . .
Time's been kind to us I know But someday we'll have to go With the tide Smilingly we've borne our share Of life's sorrow, joy and care Side by side In my dreams I hear the mocking birds still singing So sweetly singing Their love notes ringing And my heart is to the old days fondly clinging When you were my bride. . . . .
Remember the village green, dear Remember the ging-ham gown You were that day, dear Queen of the May, dear Apple blossoms drifting down, drifting down, drifting down You were the fairest there, dear You won my heart that day And to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie When you were the Queen of the May
Al Pie De La Montaña Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez Performer(s): Lola Beltrán
Una casita al pie de la montaña un arroyo que corra por el campo un sol que alumbre siempre mi mañana y una luna que brille en la noche mientras canto
Una cariño que entienda mi cariño una guitarra fiel que me acompañe una copa de vino y un amigo que platique de amor y respete el dolor sin que me engañe
Eso quiero tener para darle mi adiós a la gran ciudad, yo me quise quedar pero siempre encontre alguién que me hizo mal
Por eso busco el pie de la montaña y el arroyo que corra por el campo por eso quiero el sol de la mañana que me ayude a vivir sin que sienta morir dentro del alma
When You Waltz With The Girl You Love Composer(s): Garfield Kilgour; Harry Von Tilzer
Music softly plays dreamy loveland days Waltzing a long with one dear sweet girl heart awhirl as you twirl gliding all around to that dreamy sound two eyes of blue steal your heart too then you say "Dear I'll be true"
Dreaming as you glide drifting by her side waltzing forever and then a day heart so gay as you sway you look in her eyes you're in Paradise that dreamy sound guides you around true happiness you have found
When you waltz with the girl that you love and adore all the world seems right in tune for a June time honeymoon when she says she'll be true as the stars up above then you sing of the Spring and the ring it will bring when you waltz with the girl you love
When You Walk In The Room
((Italian Versions: C'è Una Strana Espressione Nei Tuoi Occhi (The Rokes) - 1965; Ciò Che Fai (I New Dada) - 1965))
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon
First release by: Jackie deShannon - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
I can feel a new expression on my face I can feel a glowing sensation taking place I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes Every time that you walk in the room
I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant I see a summer's night with a magic moon Every time that you walk in the room
Maybe it's a dream come true Walkin' right along side of you Wish I could tell you how much I care But I only have the nerve to stare
I can feel a something pounding in my brain Just any time that someone speaks your name Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom Every time that you walk in the room Every time that you walk in the room
