Do I Worry?
Composer(s): Stanley Cowan - Bobby Worth
Performer(s): The Ink Spots
Do I worry cause you're stepping out Do I worry cause you got me in doubt Though your kisses aren't right, do I give a bag of beans Do I stay home every night and read my magazine
Am I frantic, cause we lost that spark Is there panic when it starts turning dark And when evening shadows creep, do I loose any sleep over you Do I worry, you can bet your life I do
Do I worry when the iceman calls Do I worry if Niagra Falls Though you treat me just like dirt You think I give a snap Are my feelings really hurt When you're sitting in somebody else's lap Am I curious when the gossip flies Am I furious bout your little white lies And when all our evenings end Cause you got a sick friend that needs you Do I worry, honey, you know dog gone well I do
Am I frantic, cause we've lost that spark Is there panic when it starts turning dark And when evening shadows creep Do I lose any sleep over you Do I worry, you can bet your life, I do
(Do I Figure) In Your Life? Composer(s): Pete Dello First release by: Honeybus - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Hey there, what you gonna do now? You made yourself some new friends Knocking around with all those wide people They make me nervous When the things they say cut me like a knife Do I still figure in your life?
Hey now, I hardly know your face It's got a brand new look about it Hard to trace the tender way you look The way you smile To think that I once took you for my wife Do I still figure in your life? Do I still figure in your life?
You say hello - say hello But I think you want to go - I think you got to go To think that I once took you for my wife Do I still figure in your life? Do I still figure in your life? Do I? Do I still figure in your life? Do I? Do I still figure in your life? Do I? Do I still figure in your life?
Here I am My heart in a sling Holding on to memories Wondering what might have been There you are Lost in a dream Full of life yet loneliness Has caused you to bleed I know Where there's room enough for two Take a trip to where we've been The water's hushed underneath thge bridge... again As always I remain
So where are we now Life is just a daisy chain Your innocence my lost refrain Where are we now Never said you'd stay the same As always I remain
Sudden call It's the end of the line Or is it just the start of something Maybe... we'll see Where will you go And who will you be Me I'll just be singing songs Crossing fingers There's always something going on As always I remain As always I remain
So where are we now Life is just a daisy chain Your innocence my lost refrain Where are we now Never said you'd stay the same As always I remain
I must admit I'm an untimely man Appearing to calloused to all There's a right way a wrong way As always I will Remain on this road right or wrong
So where are we now Life is just a daisy chain Your innocence my lost refrain Where are we now Never said you'd stay the same As always I remain As always I remain
Do I Love You?
Composer(s): Peter Andreoli - Vini Poncia - Phil Spector
First release by: The Ronettes - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
Do I want you for my baby? Do I want you by my side? Do I wanna run & kiss your lips And say you're my lovin' guy? Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh) (Do I love you? Yes I love you)
Do I need your arms around me? Do I live my life for you? Do I always feel so warm each time I look in your eyes of blue? Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh) (Do I love you? Yes I love you) oh oh
And do I need you every minute of the day? And would I die if you should ever go away? And does it mean so much to feel your tender touch? Do I love you? Do I love you?
Oh I swear I'm gonna get you If it takes me all my life I'll hope & pray & dream & sleep 'Cause I'm gonna be your wife Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh) (Do I love you? Yes I love you)
As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may Just as hate knows love's the cure You can rest your mind assure That I'll be loving you always
As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow But in passing will grow older every day Just as all that's born is new You know what I say is true That I'll be loving you always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky) Always (Until the ocean covers every mountain high) Always (Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea) Always (Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)
Did you know that true love asks for nothing No no her acceptance is the way we pay Did you know that life has given love a guarantee To last through forever and another day
Just as time knew to move on since the beginning And the seasons know exactly when to change Just as kindness knows no shame Know through all your joy and pain That I'll be loving you always
As today I know I'm living But tomorrow could make me the past But that I mustn't fear For I'll know deep in my mind The love of me I've left behind 'Cause I'll be loving you always
(Until the day is night and night becomes the day) Always (Until the trees and seas just up and fly away) Always (Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four) Always (Until the day that is the day that are no more) Did you know you're loved by somebody (Until the day the earth starts turnin' right to left) Always (Until the earth just for the sun denies itself) I'll be lovin you forever (Until dear mother nature says her work is through) Always (Until the day that you are me and I am you) Always (Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky Until the ocean severs every mountain high) Always mm mm
We all know sometimes life hates and troubles Can make you wish you were born in another time and space But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's double That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it You're not helpin' to make this earth A place sometimes called hell Change your words into truths And then change that truth into love And maybe our children's grandchildren And their great grandchildren will tell I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky

Beyond the shadow of a dove As the mighty river flows As the meadow gaily plays With the wind of summer days Bout as deep as we can go From the canyon to the skies Like a mother as she cares For the baby that she bears
Do I love you Dont you know by now Do I love you Must I show you how Do I love Must I always say Do I love Yes in every way
About as sacred as a hymn And a bible full of prayers From a whisper to a roar Very much and even more And I shall show it with my eyes And share it with the night If in death the good Lord is kind Youll be the last thing on my mind
Do I love you Dont you know by now Do I love you Must I show you how Do I love Do I have to say Do I love Yes in every way
Do I love you You should know by now Do I love you Must I show you how Do I love Do I have to say Do I love Yes in every way
Artificial Flowers Composer(s): Jerry Bock - Sheldon Harnick Performer(s): Ron Husmann
Alone in the world was poor little Anne As sweet a young child as you'd find Her parents had gone to their final reward Leavin' their baby behind
Did you hear?.......... This poor little child was only nine years of age When mother and dad went away Still bravely she worked at the one thing she knew To earn her few pennies a day
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers Fashioned from Annie's despair
With paper and shears, with some wire and wax She made up each tulip and mum As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room Her baby little fingers grew numb
From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers Made from Annie's despair
They found little Annie all covered in ice Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand And watered with all her young tears
There must be a heaven where little Annie can play In heavenly gardens and bowers And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head A garland of genuine flowers
No more artificial flowers Throw away those artificial flowers Flowers for ladies of society to wear Throw away those artificial flowers Those dumb-dumb flowers Fashioned from Annie's Fashioned from Annie's Despair ...

After that sweet Summer afternoon When for the first time I saw you appear Dreaming of you I composed a tune So will you listen to it, dear?
Do I love you, do I? Doesn't one and one make two? Do I love you, do I? Does July need a sky of blue? Would I miss you, would I? If you ever should go away? If the sun should desert the day What would life be? Will I leave you, never? Could the ocean leave the shore? Will I worship you for ever? Isn't heaven forever more?
Do I love you, do I? Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see Don't you know I do? Don't I show you I do Just as you love me?
Do I love you, do I? Doesn't one and one make two? Do I love you, do I? Does July need a sky of blue? Would I miss you, would I? If you ever should go away?

Artificial Energy Composer(s): McGuinn - Hillman - Clarke Performer(s): The Byrds
Sitting all alone now I took my ticket to ride Just a matter of time now Tilm I'll be up in the sky Coming up on me now I'm king for a night What's it gonna be now? How willful things are building insight Do you think it's really the trip that you seek? I've got my doubts it's happened to me Artificial energy Is racing in my mind I've got a strange feeling I'm going to die before my time 'Cause i'm coming down off amphetamines And I'm in jail 'cause I killed the queen

Once in your life you find her, someone who turns your heart around And next thing you know, you're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you, even though you left her way across town You're wondering to yourself, "Hey, what have I found?"
When you get caught between the moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the moon and New York City The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love
Arthur, he does as he pleases; all of his life his master's toys But deep in his heart he's just, he's just a boy Living his life one day at a time, he's showing himself a really good time He's laughing about the way they want him to be
When you get caught between the moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the moon and New York City The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love
When you get caught between the moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the moon and New York City The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love

Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield

Do I have to come right out and say it Tell you that you look so fine Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine
If it was a game I could play it Trying to make it but I'm losing time I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind
Indecision is crowding me I have no room to spare And I can't believe she cared Like a dream she has taken me And now I don't know where And a part of me is scared The part of me I shared Once before

Essere un buon capitano gli occhi lontani come il mare con quell'istinto di salpare Essere tu il vagabondo senza parenti senza nome che chissa' come al mondo ha detto no Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti e' una vecchissima fotografia e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti intanto vola via intanto non si sa se tornera' Vivere notti infinite correre sui cavalli alati tu la regina dei pirati essere saggia e avere vent'anni essere squalo e pescatore schiava e padrona di ogni amore Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti e sei davvero tu nella fotografia e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti perche' la vita sia fare due passi nell'eternita' Essere te ma essere un'altra essere preda e predatore luce dell'ombra notte e sole Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti e sei davvero tu nella fotografia e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti e intanto vola via e intanto vola via Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti questa vecchissima fotografia e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti e intanto vola via e intanto non si sa se tornera'
Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
Composer(s): Dolly Parton
First release by: Dolly Parton - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked
Long ago in the sweet used to be
And the flowers still grow, but they dont smell as sweet
As they did when you picked them for me
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind
Do you ever wake up lonely in the middle of the night
Because you miss me, do you darling
Oh, and do your memories ever take
You back into another place in time
And do you ever miss the feelings
And the love we shared when you were with me, tell me darling
Or do I ever cross your mind
Oh, how often I wish that again I could kiss
Your sweet lips like I did long ago
And how often I long for those two loving arms
That once held me so gentle and close
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old memories like that
Or do I ever cross your mind

Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Victor Schertzinger Performer(s): Betty Hutton
Life was so peaceful at the laundry Life was so calm and serene Life was tres gay Till that unlucky day I happened to read that magazine!
Why did I read that advertisement Where it says, "Since I rumba, Jim thinks I'm sublime!? Why, oh why Did I ever try When I didn't have the talent, I didn't have the money And teacher did not have the time? Boy!
Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry I had a week to spare He showed me the ground work The walkin' around work And told me take it from there!
Arthur Murray Then advised me not to worry It would come out all right! To my way of thinkin' My dance is stinkin' I don't know my left from my right!
The people around me can all-sing "A-one and a-two and a-three" But any resemblance to waltzing Is just coincidental with me!
'Cause Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry And so I took a chance To me it resembles The nine day trembles But he guarantees it's a dance!
My tango resembles a two-step My rumba makes people turn pale My conga goes into a goose-step Till the FBI is doggin' my trail!
'Cause Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry Maybe the stars were wrong If I ain't a menace To Ruth St Dennis I'll do until one comes along!
Turkey trot Or gavotte? Don't know which Don't know what Jitterbug? Bunny hug? Long as you Cut a rug!
Walk the dog Do the frog Lindy hop Till you drop! Ball the jack Back to back Cheek to cheek Till you're weak
You've heard of Pavlova? Well Jack, move over! Make way for the queen of the dance!
