Angel In Disguise Composer(s): Paul Mann - Stefan Weiss - Kim Gannon Performer(s): Ann Sheridan
Your just an angel in disguise Who wandered down from up above Your just a heavenly surprise Who came to earth for me to love
This introduction to an angel Is more than thrilling, it leaves me shy But in as much as you're an angel I'm more than willing to teach my timid heart to fly
I simply don't know what to do I'm not accustomed to these things Perhaps the smartest thing to do Is take the scissors to your wings
Then I'll be sure your mine forever That you can never return above I'll have an angel in disguise, Forever in my arms to love
This introduction to an angel Is more than thrilling, it leaves me shy But in as much as you're an angel I'm more than willing to teach my timid heart to fly
Angel In Blue Composer(s): Seth Justman Performer(s): The J. Geils Band
We met in a bar Out on Chesapeake Bay With her white patent boots And her blouse red lame A table top dancer She would smile on cue Those lips of an angel Angel in blue She's been dancing for ages Though cities of bars She was kickin' the habit of scoring in cars She'd been drained of her spirit All caged in this zoo A wildcat angel Angel in blue And as she stared out into nowhere I thought, yes, I thought she might break down and cry When I whispered I thought I could love her She just said "Baby, don't even bother to try" And I watched as she spoke Her words chilled my bones All her friends did her favors That were really just loans And she never had dreams So they never came true The palest of angels Angel in blue And the bees they had stung her The birds they had flown There were guys she could number But none she had known And she never had dreams So they never came true My fade away angel Angel in blue
Darling Be Home Soon Composer(s): Steve Boone; John Sebastian Originally performed by: The Lovin' Spoonful Covered by various other artists
Come and talk of all the things we did today Here and laugh about our funny little ways while we have a few minutes to breathe and I know that it's time you must leave
But darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to
And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed I think I've come to see myself at last and I see that the time spent confused was the time that I spent without you And I feel myself in bloom
So darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to
So darling... My darling be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling be home soon It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to
Go and beat your crazy head against the sky try and see beyond the houses and your eyes It's ok to shoot the moon
Angel From Montgomery Composer(s): John Prine First release by: John Prine - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
I am an old woman Named after my mother My old man's another Child that's grown old If dreams were lightnin' And Thunder were desire This old house would've burned down A long time ago
Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold onto To believe in this livin' Is such a hard way to go
When I was a young girl I had me a cowboy Weren't much to look at Just a free ramblin' man But that was a long time And no matter how I try The years just flow by Like a broken down dam
Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold onto To believe in this livin' Is such a hard way to go
There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em in there buzzin' And I ain't done nothin' Since I woke up today How the hell can a person Go to work in the mornin' And come home in the evenin' And have nothin' to say
Make me an angel That flies from Montgomery Make me a poster Of an old rodeo Just give me one thing That I can hold onto To believe in this livin' Is such a hard way to go
Darlin' Cora Composer(s): Fred Brooks Performer(s): Harry Belafonte
Wake up, wake up Darlin' Cora Wanna see you one more time The sheriff and his hound dogs a coming I gotta move on down the line
I don't know why darlin' Cora Don't know what the reason can be But I never had found a single town Where me and my boss-man agree
I ain't a man to be played with I ain't nobody's toy Been working for my pay for a long, long time How come he still calls me boy
Well I'd rather drink muddy water And sleep in a hollowed out log Than to hang around in this old town And be treated like a dirty dog
Well I whopped that man darlin' Cora And he fell down where he stood Don't know if I was wrong darlin' Cora But Lord it sure felt good
If it wasn't so dark darlin' Cora You'd see tears trickling down my face It breaks my heart darlin' Cora But I got to leave this place Wake up, wake up darlin' Cora

Your picture on my wall, your letter on my bed
And, darling, I recall everything you said
Angel face, angel face, angel face
Darling, I love you
Oh, if you were here once more in my embrace
I'd kiss away each tear from your angel face
Angel face, angel face, angel face
Darling, I love you
It's been so long since I held you so tight
It's been so long since I kissed you goodnight
I don't need a moon to thrill to all your charms
Won't you come back soon and fill my empty arms?
Angel face, angel face, angel face
Darling, I love you
Darling, I love you
Darling, I love you
Darlin', if I sat down and I wrote a song I would know where every word belongs 'cuz I'd write my song about you Darlin', if I tried to paint a work of art all the colors would pour from my heart 'cuz all I think about is you If I built a tower, it would reach right to the sky If I plant a flower, it will never die I could climb a mountain No, there's nothing I couldn't do Now that's the way it is for me now that I found you Darlin', I find I think about you every day You're the only thing that's on my mind Couldn't make it without you Darlin', I love you Darlin' Darlin' Darlin', I need you...
Angel Eyes Composer(s): Earl Brent Matt Dennis First recording/First release by: Ella Fitzgerald - 1952/Nat King Cole & Billy May & His Orch. - 1953 Covered by multiple other artists
Try to think that love's not around Still it's uncomfortably near My own heart ain't gainin' no ground Because my Angel Eyes ain't here
Angel Eyes that old devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say that my love's mis-spent Mis-spent with Angel Eyes tonight
So drink up, drink up all you people And order anything you see Have fun you happy people The drink, and the laugh's, on me
Pardon me, but I gotta run The fact's uncommonly clear I gotta find who's now number one And why my Angel Eyes ain't here
I gotta find who's now the number one And why my Angel Eyes ain't here `Scuse me while I disappear
Darla Dirladada Composer(s): Boris Bergman; Pallavicini Guinis Performer(s): Dalida
Dirladadà dirladadà Ho seminato il grano el vento Ho messo il enore in un convento Dirladadà dirladadà Ho riso e quaiche volta pianto Non so se il mondo vale tanto Io son felice quando canto Ho dirlada una montagna Mi siedo sopra e elo che vedo Dico che è mio e poi ci credo Redirlada dirladadà Ci vuole con poco in fondo Per diventare i re del mondo Io danzero dirladadà
Dirladadà il mondo bella La pazza danza della vita Solleva il mondo con due dita E centomila cuori in festa Cantasse il mondo più di adesso La stessa vuota trite vita Che fa dirla dirladadà E dirlada era un ragazzo Diceva cose mai sentite Mi dava cose mai avute E solo lacrime ha lasciato Il mio nomo le ha capite E mi ha curato le ferite Dirladadà dirladadà E dirlada il mondo bella La pazza danza della vita Solleva il mondo con due dita Dirladadà dirladadà Una canzone da cantare E volte fa dimenticare Oh dirlada il mondo canta Dirladadà la gente bella La vita è un dirladadà Pero la vita lo si sa Va presa in fondo come va E la morale è questa qua E dirlada dirladadà Oh dadadà dirladadà...
Angeleyes Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus First release by: ABBA - 1979 Covered by multiple other artists
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking, a-aaah
Last night I was taking a walk along the river And I saw him together with a young girl And the look that he gave her made me shiver 'Cause he always used to look at me that way Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play
Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes I keep thinking, a-aaah
Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him And it hurts to remember all the good times When I thought I could never live without him And I wonder does it have to be the same Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain? Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name?
Look into his angeleyes One look and you're hypnotized He'll take your heart and you must pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Crazy 'bout his angeleyes Angeleyes He took my heart and now I pay the price Look into his angeleyes You'll think you're in paradise Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise Don't look too deep into those angeleyes Oh no no no no
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah Keep thinking, I had to pay the price
Darla Dirladada Composer(s): Boris Bergman Performer(s): Dalida
So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss Denn alles kommt, wie's kommen muss Da helfen schöne orte nicht Wenn auch dein mund so viel verspricht So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss Es gibt nur noch den abschiedskuss Dann geh ich fort aus unsrem haus Denn für uns beide ist es aus
Du liebst dein geld und willst noch mehr Ich hab zwei hände, die sind leer So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss Adieu, leb wohl, ein letzter gruss Du kannst vergessen, ach, so schnell Die andre tritt an meine stell Ich aber werde traurig sein Dort im hotel und gauz allein
Ich hasse sie, die grosse stadt Die mich ums glück betrogen hat Mir bleiben nur noch wald und feld Dort, wo freund fluss mir treue hält Der mit mir lebt, weil er mich kennt Wenn er über die kiesel rennt Singt er, singt er allein für mich Re dirlada dirladada
Ich hass dich nicht, du bist nicht schlecht Jetzt hab ich doch auf mich ein recht Der heisst dirla dirladada Wie all das geld, das dir gehört Es war so schön, doch nun ist schluss Denn alles kommt, wiets kommen muss Ich hab dir ja gesagt, warum Ich gehe fort, schau mich nicht um
Geh hin zum fluss, zu meinem freund Der singt dirlade dirlada Ich hass dich nicht, du bist nicht schlecht Jetzt hab ich doch auf mich ein recht Und nun gehör ich meinem fluss Und lebe, wie ich leben muss Und singe mit dem fluss vereint Ein frohes lied mit meinem freund Das lied Dirlare dirlada Oh dadada dirladada Re dirlada dirladada Darla dirla dirladada

Adieu Monsieur tout est fini Quitte moi et refais ta vie Je préférais la fleur des champs Toi le soleil de ses vingt ans Monsieur tu n'étais pas fidèle A ce qu'en disait mes amis Il faisait bon dans le logis Adieu Monsieur j'avais du cur Elle a deux champs et un tracteur Et moi je n'ai que mes deux mains Pour semer le vent et le grain Adieu Monsieur pendant que t'aime Moi j'irai voir pousser les graines
Adieu Monsieur tout est fini Adieu l'enfant tu pars aussi On dit que la ville c'est mieux qu'ici Tu pourras avoir des voitures Comme dans les livres d'aventures Je n'ai qu'une enfant, c'est ma terre Je n'ai qu'une amie, la rivière Elle est à moi elle me connaît Quand elle danse sur les galets Elle fait dirla dirladada, et dirlada dirladada Cour le furet file la vague Je vivrai dans un monde d'algues Qui fait dirla dirladada
Adieu l'enfant, adieu marie Laissez-moi donc vivre ma vie Il est temps de couper le seigle Je crois que je vous ai tout dit Je n'ai qu'une enfant, c'est ma terre Je n'ai qu'une amie, la rivière Elle fait dirla dirladada Court le furet file la vague Je vivrai dans un monde d'algues Qui fait dirla dirladada Et j'aurais l'océan pour toi Qui chante ladirladada ladidir dirladada Redirlada dirladada oh dadadadirladada Qui chante ladirladada...
