As Far As I'm Concerned Performer(s): Nat King Cole
As far as I'm concerned That amber moon that can make the tides return Won't match the light within my eyes The night I learned that I'm the one you'll always love
As far as I'm concerned The mid day sun that can make the planets turn Is cold as ice compared with how your kisses burn And show my heart the warmth of love
Long, long ago days were empty life was oh such a slow caravan But now that you're here how the hours tumble by and the days disappear They say we live and learn but what care I If I never ever learn why robins fly away As long as they return and I love you and you love me For that's as far as I'm concerned
They say we live and learn but what care I If I never ever learn why robins fly away As long as they return and I love you and you love me For that's as far as I'm concerned
Do It Again
Composer(s): Walter Becker - Donald Fagen
First release by: Steely Dan - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street
You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again
When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again
Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table
You go back Jack do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back Jack do it again
Do It Again ((Dutch Version: Doe 'T Nog Es Een Keer (Greetje Kauffeld) - 1997)) Composer(s): George Gershwin - Buddy De Silva First performance: Irene Bordoni - 1922 Covered by multiple other artists
You really shouldn't have done it You hadn't any right I really shouldn't have let you Kiss me And although it was wrong I never was strong So as long as you've begun it And you know you shouldn't have done it
Oh Do it again I may say no no no no no But do it again My lips just ache To have you take the kiss That's waiting for you You know if you do You won't regret it Come and get it
Oh No one is near I may cry oh Oh Oh Oh Oh But no one can hear Mamma may scold me Coz' she told me It was naughty but then
Please Do it again Yes do it again And again and again and again and again and again Turn out the light And hold me close In your arms All through the night I know tomorrow morning You will say Goodbye and Amen
As Curvas Da Estrada De Santos Composer(s): Roberto Carlos - Erasmo Carlos Performer(s): Elis Regina
Se você pretende saber quem eu sou Eu posso lhe dizer Entre no meu carro na estrada de Santos E você vai me conhecer Você vai pensar que eu não gosto nem mesmo de mim E que na minha idade só a velocidade Anda junto a mim
Só ando sozinho E no meu caminho o tempo é cada vez menor Preciso de ajuda Por favor me acuda Eu vivo muito só Se acaso numa curva eu me lembro do meu mundo Eu piso mais fundo Corrijo num segundo Não posso parar
Eu prefiro as curvas da estrada de Santos Onde eu tento esquecer Um amor que eu tive E vi pelo espelho na distância se perder
Mas se o amor que eu perdi eu novamente encontrar As curvas se acabam E na estrada de Santos não vou mais passar
Do It Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond
Do it while your soul's still burnin' You know I'll be yearnin' away Say what you want to say Cause if you let her go You'll always know you blew it Go to it and do it Yeah, do it yeah
Tell her just how much you love her And that no other could do what she does to you Cause if you take your time You're gonna find you blew it Go to it and do it Yeah do it, yeah do it, do it
As Cartas Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Ilusão Ilusão Veja as coisas como elas são A carroça A dama O louco O trunfo A mão O enforcado A dançarina Numa cortina O encarnado A dançarina, o encantado O encarnado numa cortina O enforcado
Ilusão Ilusão Veja as coisas como elas são O curinga A noiva O noivo O sim O não O prateado O cavaleiro No seu espelho Desfigurado O cavaleiro, o prateado Do outro lado do seu espelho Desfigurado
Ilusão Ilusão Veja as coisas como elas são A fortuna A roda O raio A imensidão O estrelado O obscuro O seu Embaralhado
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
and multiple other artists
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
