When I was young I never needed anyone And making love was just for fun Those days are gone Livin' alone I think of all the friends I've known When I dial the telephone Nobody's home
All by myself Don't wanna be All by myself Anymore
Hard to be sure Sometimes I feel so insecure And loves so distant and obscure Remains the cure
All by myself Don't wanna be All by myself Anymore
All by myself Don't wanna be All by myself Anymore
When I was young I never needed anyone Making love was just for fun Those days are gone
All by myself Don't wanna be All by myself Anymore
All by myself Don't wanna live Oh Don't wanna live By myself, by myself Anymore By myself Anymore Oh! All by myself Don't wanna live I never, never, never Needed anyone
Whispers In The Dark Composer(s): Frederick Hollander Performer(s): Bob Crosby; and various other artists
Whispers in the dark Two shadows in the night So gentle and so tender that every little word Is like a song of sweet delight Whispers in the dark How heavenly they seem When lips and arms surrender and ev'ry little kiss Is like a dream within a dream But soon the breezes whisper to the trees That dawn is near, So soon their little paradise of love will disappear Whispers in the dark While stars are in the blue Upon a night like this perhaps I'll hear A little whisper in the dark from you

J'écris ma vie À l'encre de mes souvenirs Je les retrouve dans un sourire C'est si fragile
Comme des amis Ces jeux d'enfants qui laissent rougir L'amour nous effleurait sans dire C'est interdit
Je vous aime ainsi Et aujourd'hui je vous aime encore Tellement fort
Je vous aime ainsi Qu'importe si Le monde entier me donne tort
J'ai enlacé L'étrange parfum de ce passé Nos mains unies se sont cachées Pour exister
Je vous aime ainsi Et aujourd'hui je vous aime encore Tellement fort
Whisperman Composer(s): Peter Albin; Sam Andrew; Dave Getz; James Gurley; Janis Joplin Performer(s): Big Brother & The Holding Company
People come around the window People come around the door People come around and ask me If I can say some more 'Cause I'm a whisperman, yes I am!
I can read somebody's back hand, and I can read your mind What you need is body heat, ask for it any time 'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!
I can see up your staircase, and I can see down your hall I can see almost anything, or anything at all 'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!
I can see behind your eyelid I can see behind your head I can only check you on the windshield Write them on your bed 'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!

Quise volar Y conocí la soledad Jugue al amor sin entregar Sin esperar
Salgo a buscar Alguna huella, una señal Hacer mi sueno realidad Poder amar
Sola otra vez No se vivir Sola otra vez Sin amor
Quiero saber Como es que siente una mujer Mi corazon no aguanta mas La soledad
Sola otra vez No sé vivir Sola otra vez Sin amor
Sola otra vez Estoy aquí Sola otra vez Sin amor
Quise volar Y conoci la soledad Jugue al amor sin entregar Sin esperar
Sola otra vez No se vivir Sola otra vez Sin amor
Sola otra vez No se vivir
Sin amor Ya no quiero estar tan sola otra vez sin amor Otra vez, sin amor... Sin amor Sola otra vez No se vivir Sin amor Sola
Whispering Pines Composer(s): Richard Manuel; Robbie Robertson Performer(s): The Band; and various other artists
If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream Inside my lonely room, there is no in between Whispering pines, rising of the tide If only one star shines That's just enough to get inside I will wait until it all goes 'round With you in sight, the lost are found Foghorn through the night, calling out to sea Protect my only light, 'cause she once belonged to me Let the waves rush in, let the seagulls cry For if I live again, these hopes will never die I can feel you standing there But I dont see you anywhere
Standing by the well, wishing for the rains Reaching for the clouds, for nothing else remains Drifting in a daze, when evening will be done Try looking through a haze At an empty house, in the cold, cold sun I will wait until it all goes round With you in sight, the lost are found
All By Myself Composer(s): Alan Gorrie - Daryl Hall Performer(s): Daryl Hall
I can see the anger And I surely feel All the passion, baby gone astray Why are we divided So dissatisfied Does it matter what we do or say I cant see the wisdom Never gonna give in When the love is not so far away I was hoping for more Im still hoping for sure Isnt anybody dreamin Isnt anybody thinking Or am I all by myself Isnt anybody teachin Why is everybody preachin Am I all by myself Dont you feel it lately That youre the only one Who can see through bitter lies right here Like everybody knows it But no one seems to care As if theres something in the truth we fear Arent you hoping for more Im still hoping for sure Isnt anybody dreamin Isnt anybody thinking And all by myself Isnt anybody lovin Isnt anybody huggin Am I all by myself, tell me, tell me Am I all by myself All by myself Come on everybody teach it with me Am I all by myself Dont wanna be all by myself Come on everybody preach it with me
Whispering Pines Composer(s): Howard Hausey Performer(s): Johnny Horton; and various other artists
The snowflakes fall, as winter calls And time just seems to fly Is it the loneliness in me That makes me wanta cry My heart is sad like a mourning dove That's lost it's mate in flight Hear the cooing of his lonely heart Through the stillness of the night
Chorus: Whisperin' pines, whisperin' pines Tell me is it so Whisperin' pines, whisperin' pines You're the one who knows My darlin's gone, oh, she's gone And I need your sympathy Whisperin' pines, send my baby back to me
See that squirrel up in the tree His mate there on the ground Hear their barking call of love For the happiness they've found Is my love still my love Oh, this I've gotta know Send a message by the wind Because I love her sop
All By Myself Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Al Jolson & Bing Crosby
I'm all by myself in the morning All By myself in the night I sit alone in my cosy morris chair So unhappy there Playing solitaire I'm all by myself and I get lonely (He say's he gets lonesome by himself) Watching the clock on the shelf I'd like to rest my wearing head on Somebody's shoulder (Just lay it here) I hate to grow older All by myself
Whispering Grass (Don't Tell The Trees) Composer(s): Fred Fisher; Doris Fisher Performer(s): The Ink Spots; and various other artists
Why do you whisper, green grass? Why tell the trees what ain't so? Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know, no, no
Why tell them all your secrets? Who kissed there long ago Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know
Don't you tell it to the trees She will tell the birds and bees And everyone will know Because you told the blabbering trees Yes, you told them once before It's no secret anymore
Why tell them all the old things? They're buried under the snow Whispering grass, don't tell the trees 'cause the trees don't need to know
Monologue: Now, don't you tell it to the trees 'cause they'll just run 'n' tell the birds and bees Then everybody'd know 'cause you told them doggone trees! Yes you did, you know you did, ya told 'em once before Now look atcha, honey child, it ain't no secret no mo'
Why tell them all the old things? They're buried under the snow Whispering grass, don't tell the trees 'cause the trees don't need to know

Whispering bells Whisper low Whispering bells Love you so Bring my baby Oh my baby back to me (Baby back to me) Whispering bells loud and clear Your sweet chimes glad to hear Bring my baby Oh my baby back to me Whispering bells Whisper low Whispering bells Love you so Bring my baby Oh my baby back to me (Baby back to me) Whispering bells loud and clear Your sweet chimes glad to hear Bring my baby Oh my baby back to me
All Because Of You Composer(s): Jonathan Lind - Sue Shifrin First release by: Cher - 1989
Sometimes A heart has a mind of its own Sometimes I can tell myself That I'm better of beeing alone Sometimes But this time I can't hide from the thought of it It's around every corner I turn Right there in lights In black and white Staring at me...
It's all because of you That I feel this way All because of you That my heart wants to break If every other love can be forgotten It's all because All because of you
Tonight I can't feel any magic inside Tonight 'Cause I can't reach out for the stars Looking up at the moon on my own No signs of life No nothin's right Since you've been gone
It's all because of you That I feel this way All because of you That my heart wants to break If every other love can be forgotten It's all because All because of you
All because of you I can't sleep at night Oh no! I can't sleep at night And there ain't no rest Living second best Without your love You don't know what it's like To feel this way All because of you That my heart wants to break If every other love can be forgotten It's all because of you

All At Once Composer(s): Michael Masser - Jeffrey Osborne First release by: Whitney Houston - 1985 Covered by multiple other artists
All at once I finally took a moment And I'm realizing that you're not coming back And it's finally hit me all at once
All at once I've started counting teardrops and at least a million fell My eyes began to swell And all my dreams were shattered all at once
Ever since I met you You're the only love I've known And I can't forget you Though I must face it all alone
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Wishing you'd come back to me And that's all that matters now All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Holding on to memories And it's hurt me more than you know So much more than it shows All at once
All at once I looked around and found that you were.. With another love in someone else's arms And all my dreams were shattered all at once
All at once The smile that used to greet me Brightened someone else's day She took your smile away And left me with just memories all at once
Ever since I met you You're the only love I've known And I can't forget you Though I must face it all alone
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Wishing you'd come back to me And that's all that matters now All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea Holding on to memories And it's hurt me more than you know So much more than it shows All at once ...

All At Once Composer(s): Cass - Myers Performer(s): Cliff Richard & the Shadows
All at once, it's you, it's you for me And all at once, there's blossom on each tree
It's so thrilling and so new to me this enchantment that you do to me and forever in your spell I'll be
