Alone Too Long Composer(s): James Weil - Kurt Weill Performer(s): The Partridge Family; Shirley Jones
Funny how you can go on livin' And lose the simple knack of givin' It slips away before you know it's gone Ya build up walls and before ya know it Someone moves you and you want to show it But you just can't find a way of lettin' on
I've been alone to long Baby now don't you see I've been alone too long That's all that's wrong with me I want to build you a dream Paint you a sunrise Write you a beautiful song But I don't know how I've been alone to long
Funny how you can cut off feelin' And tell yourself that your wounds are healing When all you've done is turn the pain inside And when your sure that no one can get to ya Someone smiles and it goes right through ya And wakes up somethin' that you thought had died
(Chorus)
I've been alone to long I've been alone to long I've been alone to long I've been alone to long
Alone Together Composer(s): Richie Havens Performer(s): Richie Havens
Everyday that I awake I must be mindful That everyday is all I have to call my own Its everyday the sun will rise Even though the dark clouds seem so low It will only tell the truth We are alone
Everyday that I believe I must be mindful That every belief I have is all I own Ten thousand roads will all return here Only reaping what theyve sown And it will only tell the truth We are alone
We are all alone Each one his own We are all alone together
We are not without What its all about We are all alone With each other
Everyday that I awake I must be mindful That everyday is all we have for us to change To see everything as it really is Everything we have, we have to give And it will only tell the truth We are alone
We are all alone Each one his own We are all alone together We are not without What its all about We are all alone We are all alone We are all alone With each other
With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel Performer(s): Patti Page; and various other artists
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming You're with me now, sharing a vow, never to part
I'm so afraid to close my eyes Afraid that I'll find That this lovely thrill Is just a silly illusion
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming Darling, do I deserve such a break Pinch me to prove I'm awake I can't believe that you're really mine
I'm so afraid to close my eyes Afraid that I'll find That this lovely thrill Is just a silly illusion
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming Darling, do I deserve such a break Pinch me to prove I'm awake I can't believe that you're really mine
With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm Composer(s): Bert Lee; R.P. Weston; Harris Weston Performer(s): Stanley Holloway; The Kingston Trio
In the Tower of London large as life The Ghost of Anne Boleyn walks they declare For Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife Until he made the headsman bob her hair! Ah, yes, he did her wrong, long years ago And, she comes up at night to tell him soooo!
With her head tucked underneath her arm She walks the Bloody Tower With her head tucked underneath her arm At the midnight hour
She comes to haunt King Henry She means to give him 'what for' Gadzook! She's going to tell him off For having split her gore And, just in case the headsman Wants to give her an encore She has her head tucked underneath her arm
With her head tucked underneath her arm She walks the Bloody Tower With her had tucked underneath her arm At the midnight hour
Along the draughty corridors For miles and miles she goes She often catches cold, poor thing It's cold there when it blows And it's awfully awkward for the Queen To have to blow her nose With her head tucked underneath her arm
With her head tucked underneath her arm She walks the Bloody Tower With her head tucked underneath her arm At the midnight hour!
Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread For all his pals and gals and ghostly crew The headsman carves the joint and cuts the bread Then in comes Anne Boleyn to 'queer the do!' She holds her head up with a wild war whoop! And Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!"
With her head tucked underneath her arm She walks the Bloody Tower With her head tucked underneath her arm At the midnight hour
The sentries think that it's a football That she carries in And when they've had a few they shout 'Is Ars'nal going to win?' They think it's Alec James Instead of poor old Ann Boleyn With her head tucked underneath her arm
With her head tucked underneath her arm She walks the Bloody Tower With her head tucked underneath her arm At the midnight hour
One night she caught King Henry He was in the canteen bar Said he, "Are you Jane Seymore Anne Boleyn or Catherine Parr?" "How the sweet san fairy ann Do I know who you are?" With your head tucked underneath your arm!
With her head tucked underneath her arm She walks the Bloody Tower With her head tucked underneath her arm At the midnight hour
Alone In The Night Composer(s): Larry Lee - Richie Zito - Tom Whitlock - Steve Bates Performer(s): Roger Daltrey
When the lights are down and there's no one there You can hear the sound of the rock'in chair Rocking in the dark, feel it in the air Searching for the spark of love affair The world keeps on turning, every night and every day The fire keeps on burning calling to say
I'm alone in the night, the silence in the shadows, alone in the night A heart where no one goes, alone in the night A sprint that the wind blows, alone in the night The face sitting in the window I'm alone in the night
When the lights go down, on another day Darkness all around as the angels play Watch the falling stars, as they cross the sky They're so near, so far, they're the tears I cry I hear the voices calling of lovers in the night I feel the rain is falling blinded by light
I'm alone in the night, the silence in the shadows, alone in the night A heart where no one goes, alone in the night A sprint that the wind blows, alone in the night The face sitting in the window I'm alone in the night
With God On Our Side Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Manfred Mann; and various other artists
My name it is nothing, my age it means less The country I come from is a part of the Free West I was taught and brought up there its laws to abide And that the land that I live in has God on its side
Oh the history books tell it, they tell it so well The cavalries charged, the Indians fell The cavalries charged, the Indians died For the country was young with God on its side
Oh the first World War, it came and it went The reason for fighting I never could get But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride For you dont count the dead when Gods on your side
And then the second World War, it came to an end We forgave the Germans and now we are friends Though they murdered six million, in the ovens they fried The Germans now, too, have God on their side
But now we have weapons of chemical dust And if fire them were forced to, why then fire them we must One push of the button and a shot the worldwide And you never ask questions when Gods on your side
tho many a long hour Ive thought on this That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss But I cant think for you, you will have to decide Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side
And now as I leave you, Im weary as hell The confusion Im feelin, there aint no tongue can tell The words fill my head and drop to the floor That if Gods on our side, hell stop the next war
Alone In Brewster Bay Composer(s): Minnie Riperton - Richard Rudolph Performer(s): Minnie Riperton
Watch the fire die See the snowflakes fly Hear the geese out honking' on the bay Feel the fire's flame Do they sigh your name Think of you, my love, so far away
Once I never moved without you I held on to you all the time But now that I'm three days without you I feel a lot like cryin' I feel like cryin' I feel like cryin 'I feel like cryin'
Then I close my eyes And I search the skies For a sign of you thinking of me Then I feel you here You are oh so near In my mind I find you next to me
Cause once I never moved without you I held on to you all the time But now that I'm three days without you I feel a lot like cryin' I feel like cryin' I feel like cryin 'I feel like cryin'
Watch the fire die See the snowflakes fly Hear the geese out honking' on the bay Thinking of you, my love, alone in Brewster bay
Alone At Last Composer(s): Phil Cody - Neil Sedaka Performer(s): Neil Sedaka and multiple other artists
Alone at last in a hide away Far away from all the worries in the world We share each other while the sun's goin' down Not another soul around Alone at last you and I
Sunshine plenty of space and time Heady wine for thirsty souls like yours and mine We come together like the sea and the sand In a very private wonderland Alone at last you and I
Wave goodbye to the crowded nights City lights we left behind We love the dreams we shared And dared to live the dream
The sea in her serenity Silently cast a spell on you and me We share each other while the sun's goin' down Not another soul around Alone at last Alone at last you and I
We share each other while the sun's goin' down Not another soul around Alone at last Alone at last you and I

My life I'd give for you, anema e core

Alone At A Table For Two Composer(s): Billy Hill - Ted Fiorito - Daniel Richman Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians
Usual time, the usual place, the usual orchids and wine
Alone at a table for two Alone in our own rendezvous The music is playing Your favourite request But I hear a blue note The band must have guessed Why I'm alone at a table for two Pretending I am waiting for you And even the flowers at your place have withered They know that we're through I'm alone at a table for two
With A Song In My Heart Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart Performer(s): Doris Day & Harry James;
and various other artists
With a song in my heart, I behold your adorable face Just a song at the start but it soon is a hymn to your grace When the music swells, I'm touching your hand It tells me you're standing near, and
At the sound of your voice, heaven opens its portals to me Can I help but rejoice that a song such as ours came to be But I always knew I would live life through With a song in my heart for you
But I always knew I would live life through With a song in my heart for you
I've been waiting here so long For someone I can talk to Coz I know where we went wrong But it's really not the time or place To talk about the problems Now I've got you face to face I'll tell you what I'm thinking of Imagine how my heart feels Now I know I'm still in love Oh please don't cry But I need to tell you one more time I didn't mean to hurt you I never meant to complicate your life If I can hold you 'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight Please don't look away I've tried to say I'm sorry For the things I never said We can talk about who's to blame But it really doesn't matter I'm so tired of playing games Oh please don't cry But I need to tell you one more time I didn't mean to hurt you I never meant to complicate your life If I can hold you 'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight Oh please don't cry But I need to tell you one more time I didn't mean to hurt you I never meant to complicate your life If I can hold you 'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
With A Smile And A Song Composer(s): Frank Churchill; Larry Morey Performer(s): Adriana Caselotti; and various other artists
With a smile and a song Life is just a bright sunny day Your cares fade away And your heart is young With a smile and a song All the world seems to waken anew Rejoicing with you As the song is sung There's no use in grumbling When the raindrops come tumbling Remember, you're the one Who can fill the world with sunshine When you smile and you sing Everything is in tune and it's spring And life flows along With a smile and a song
