Who Knows Where The Time Goes? Composer(s): Sandy Denny Performer(s): Fairport Convention; and various other artists
Across the morning sky all the birds are leaving But how can they know it's time for them to go? Before the Winter's fire I will still be dreaming I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes? Who know's where the time goes?
Sad deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving Ah and yet they know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here I have no thought of leaving I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes? Who know's where the time goes?
And I am not alone while my love is near And I know it will be so until it's time to go
So count the storms of winter And then the birds in spring again I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows? And who know's where the time goes?
For who knows where the time goes? Who know's where the time goes?
All I Do Is Dream Of You Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown - Arthur Freed Performer(s): Gene Kelly
All I do is dream of you the whole night through With the dawn I still go on and dream of you You're every thought, you're everything You're every song I ever sing
Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring And were there more than twenty four hours a day They'd be spent in sweet content, dreaming away When skies are grey, when skies are blue Morning, noon and night-time too All I do is dream of you the whole day through

All I Could Do Was Cry Composer(s): Billy Davis - Gwen Fuqua - Berry Gordy Jr. Performer(s): Etta James and multiple other artists
I heard church bells ringing I heard a choir singing I saw my love walk down the aisle On her finger he placed a ring
Oh, I saw them holding hands She was standing there with my man I heard them promise "Till death do us part" Each word was a pain in my heart
All I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) I was losing the man that I loved And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
Yeah and now the wedding's over Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads For them life has just begun But mine is at an end
All, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry) I was losing the man that I loved (cry, cry, cry) And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

All I Can Remember Composer(s): Keith Potger Performer(s): The Seekers; Judith Durham
Summer days and summer breezes, flowers everywhere Are all that I remember of times we used to share Summer nights and summer beaches, flowing into fall That's all I can remember, all that I recall
I remember seasons when you weren't so far away I still can hear your laughter and things you used to say Sheltered from the world behind the ivy-covered wall That's all I can remember, all that I recall
Somewhere above me You smiling face, warm embrace fill my mind I know you love me And you're the one for whom the sun will always shine
So, my love, the more I think the more I want to say Your love to me is sunshine and laughing summer days Once again I realize I loved you most of all That's all I can remember, all that I recall

All I Can Do Is Write About It Composer(s): Allen Collins - Ronnie VanZant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd; Uncle Kracker
Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere There ain't no place I ain't never gone But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times Well there just ain't no plae like home Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young Or a fish in a river swimming free Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee And Lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord take me and mine before that comes
Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin' Do you like to see a youngun with his dog Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin' Well you better listen to my song And Lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord take me and mine before that comes
I'm not tryin' to put down no big cities But the things they write about us is just a bore Well you can take a boy out of ol' Dixieland But you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy And Lord I can't make any changes All I can do is write 'em in a song I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord take me and mine before that comes 'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin' Lord take me and mine before that comes
Who Has Seen The Wind Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
Who has seen the wind scalloping the sea Or gliding like a swallow over villages and trees? "I have," said the willow "And I begged him please to stay, but he went away He went on his own one day" And I sing "One love have I," and he sings "Now it's goodbye" And I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again" Who has seen the sun through a parasol of leaves Through scattered ruby cloud fires, through the silver wings of bees? "I have," said the waters, "and I held his face to mine But he left in time, he went in his own good time" And I sing "One love have I," and he sings "Now it's goodbye," and I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again" Who has seen the stranger in a coat of simple brown With his face of many faces, with his eyes turned out of town? I have and I kissed him and I begged him please to stay But he went away, with the sun and the wind away And I sing "One love have I," and he sings "Now it's goodbye," and I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again"

Yeah, baby, who do you think you are? You try to push me a bit too far And every day sees another scar Tell me, who do you think you are?

Who Do You Love? Composer(s): Ellis McDaniel Performer(s): Bo Diddley; and various other artists
I walked 47 miles of barbed wire Used a cobra snake for a neck tie Got a brand new house on the roadside Made out of rattlesnake hide I got a brand new chimney made on top Made out of human skulls Now come on darling let's take a little walk, tell me
Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love
Arlene took me by the hand And said oooh eeeh daddy I understand
Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love
The night was black and the night was blue And around the corner an ice wagon flew A bump was a hittin' lord and somebody screemed You should have heard just what I seen
Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love
Arleen took me by my hand, she said Ooo-ee Bo you know I understand I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind I lived long enough and I ain't scared of dying
Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love Who do you love
Meer Vraag Ik Niet Van Jou ((Adapted from: All I Ask Of You (by Sarah Brightman & Steve Barton) - 1986)) Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Charles Hart - Richard Stilgoe - Seth Gaaikema Performer(s): Ann De Winne & Garry Hagger - 1998
Nooit meer sombere buien, angst voor het bestaan Bij mij, ben je echt veilig Jouw vrijheid is mij heilig
Nooit meer angstig huilen Het zonlicht droogt de traan Bij mij vind je bescherming, in troostende omarming
Breng de liefde in mijn eenzaam leven Zing de zomer in mijn angstig hart
Zeg me, 'zonder jou kan ik niet leven' Zeg me, dat in waarheid en in trouw Meer vraag ik niet van jou
Kom maar bij me schuilen Kruip maar dicht bij mij Liefste, niemand zal het wagen, om jou angst aan te jagen
Wat ik wil, is vrijheid Wat ik wil, is licht En jij, jij zult me strelen en alles met me delen
Beloof me dan voorgoed bij mij te blijven Deel de morgen, deel de dag, de nacht Angst en eenzaamheid, zal ik verdrijven Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou
Deel met mij de liefde heel mijn leven Wijs de weg en ik ga met je mee Deel met mij de dag, de nacht, de morgen Zeg die woorden
Ik hou van jou
Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou
Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Ein Venedig in grau seh' ich heute vor mir Damals war es so schön da sah ich es mit dir
So verlassen und leer schien die Stadt mir noch nie Ein Venedig in grau voller Melancholie
Barcarolen der Nacht weht der Wind zu mir her Aber sind sie verstummt schmerzt die Stille noch mehr
Ein Venedig in grau ohne dich bin ich hier Die große Traurigkeit geht immer neben mir
Ein Venedig in grau ein verlorener Traum All die Schönheit, die Pracht heute seh' ich sie kaum
Ich schau weg, wenn ein Paar in der Gondel sich küßt Ein Venedig in grau in dem du nicht mehr bist
Wenn die Sonne verglüht steh' ich einsam am Meer Meine Hand sucht die deine doch sie bleibt leer
Ein Venedig in grau das bescheint zwar der Mond Doch traurig frag ich ihn ob sich die Mühe lohnt
Nein, wohin ich hier schau tut das Herz mir nur weh Drum ihr Tauben, ihr Brücken sage ich euch "Adieu"
Doch ich fürchte nur sehr wohin ich immer geh' Ist Venedig in grau bis ich dich wiederseh'
