At The Gate Of The Palace Of Dreams Composer(s): Chas Baer - Johann C. Schmid
From the end of the world you come to me, while stars their vigil keep, when the toil and moil of a dreary day, has wearied me to sleep
Every flower in the far off land of dreams, must vanish with the morn; but you'll blush and bloom in this heart of mine, a rose without a thorn
Then we meet at the gate of the palace of dreams, that opes with a golden key at the edge of the world where the love star beams beams a welcome for you and for me where every breeze is a winged perfume each flower a jewel seems and the light in your eyes that I prize never dies at the gate of the palace of dreams
Dolce Di Giorno
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
First release by: I Dik Dik - 1966
Dolce di giorno fredda di sera sì tu ogni volta cambi bandiera Ho già deciso che questa è l'ultima volta che esco con te Tu sei come una torta di panna montata tutta contenta di non essere stata mangiata Ho già deciso che questa è l'ultima volta che esco con te io ti ho dato il mio cuore che cosa mi hai dato tu Mi hai fatto solo promesse e niente di più Quando c'è il sole tu parli d'amore poi quando è sera sei una statua di sale Ho già deciso che questa è l'ultima volta che esco con te Ho già deciso che questa è l'ultima volta che esco con te L'ultima volta che esco con te

Doktorn, jag är fast i en vana Ja, ingen kan ana vad jag har det svårt Ni hypnotiserar folk mot laster Det sa min faster som pimplade port Nu måste jag få en tid
Åh snälla Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Hjärtat slår, kan inte gå i trappor en gång Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Kanske det har gått för långt Åh Doktorn!
Har försökt dra ner konsumtionen Men situationen har blivit prekär Förr i världen räkte ett i veckan Nu blir det minst två om dan ungefär Jag är nog ett hopplöst fall
Men snälla Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Har försökt med snask men jag blev tjock som en gris Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Snälla hjälp mig på nåt vis Åh Doktorn!
Ständigt så vaknar begäret igen Och då måste jag bara ha Men när jag darrande tänt ännu en Känns det bra, mmm
Hundratals har slutat att röka Som fått försöka på Doktorns klinik Mitt begär är inte cigaretter Och inte tabletter, jag är nog unik Men gör ett försök ändå
Jag ber Er, Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Ta Er an mitt fall så jag kan hoppas igen Doktorn, mmm Doktorn Snälla vänj mig av med män Åh Doktorn!
At The First Fall Of Snow Composer(s): Lorene Rose Performer(s): Molly O'Day & the Cumberland Mountain Folks and multiple other artists
I talked with a stranger so sad and forlorn His garments were wrinkled, all tattered and town He told me a story of sorrow and woe His heart went to Heaven at the first fall of snow
He spoke of his angel, a dear baby girl He loved every footstep, he loved every curl But she went to Heaven just one year ago The angels came for her at the first fall of snow
He still had the dolly that she used to love He held and caressed it and gazed up above He whispered, "My darlin', you're waiting I know I'll bring you your dolly at the first fall of snow"
And there as I listened, my eyes filled with tears I knew she was part of his happier years His frail body trembled, he spoke soft and low "I'll be with my darlin' at the first fall of snow"
I just couldn't tell him how I'd felt inside I patted his shoulder, my feelings to hide He smiled as we parted, but he didn't know That we lost our darling at the first fall of snow

At The End Of The Day Composer(s): Donald O'Keefe Performer(s): Steve Conway and multiple other artists
At the end of the day just kneel and say Thank you, Lord, for my work and play Ive tried to be good, for I know that I should Thats a prayer for the end of the day
So when the new dawn begins to break Just lift up your eyes, let your heart awake Be ready to meet what the day may send And be ready to greet every man as a friend
Nobody knows what a power you have found So do what you can for the others around Carry them high when they seem to be low As on your way you go
At the end of the day just kneel and say Thank you, Lord, for my work and play Ive tried to be good, for I know that I should Thats my prayer at the end of the day
At the end of the day just kneel and say Thank you, Lord, for my work and play Ive tried to be good, for I know that I should Thats my prayer at the end of the day
Doing What I Can Composer(s): Lindsey Buckingham Performer(s): Lindsey Buckingham
Falcon sits Out on grey rock Slow death shakes The ticking of the tock I go to sleep Things left undone I go to sleep now And fly into the sun Oh, the sun is bright But not too bright to see When the darkness comes You've got to fly into the light And what will be will be Oh, the sun is hot A man is just a man When the darkness comes You're got to do with what you've got I'm doing what I can Laughing in my sleep Dancing on the stone Waiting here for something Something I don't know Deep in the darkness I go to sleep I pray the lord My soul to keep Oh, the sun is bright But too bright to see When the darkness comes You've got to fly into the light And what will be will be Oh, the sun is hot A man is just a man When the darkness comes You're got to do with what you're got I'm doing what I can
At The End Of The Day Composer(s): Sandy Denny First release by: Sandy Denny - 1973
Oh babe you are the one I love You are the one I'm thinking of You know it's still a long long way But I'll be home at the end of the day
I'll sing my songs just for you And I'll bring my love home to you I can hardly wait to see your face again But I'll be home at the end of the day
Just miles and miles of rosy sky I'll fall asleep by and by I'm crying now 'cos you're so far away But I'll be home at the end of the day
Oh babe you are the one I love You are the one I'm thinking of So many words I need to say You'll hear them all at the end of the day But I'll be home at the end of the day
Doing The Best For You
Composer(s): Dave Davies
Performer(s): Dave Davies
You can blame it on the government
The unions
They use you all you life
You can take system and make believe
It will be alright
They've taken the spirit of your life
And given you a machine
No wonder you feel so hard done by
They're doing the best for you
Well that's what they say
I know what you're going through
You travel alone
The journey is long
With only a name
In search of a song
You can blame it on the Catholics
The Jews
The Blacks
And the Whites
You can take any doctrine and surely waste
Another life
Any way that you want it to be
By popular demand
Any way but the way it should be
They're doing the best for you
Well that's what they say
I know what you're going through
You travel alone
The journey is long
With only a name
In search of a home
The world is ruled by science and money
That's all that exists
How much longer must we live and die
For this
They're doing the best for you
Well that's what they say
I know what you're going through
You travel alone
The journey is long
With only a name
In search of a song
Doing the best for you
Doing the best for you
Doing the best for you
You travel alone
The journey is long
From where do you come
To where do you go
Sunbeams are gently fading, slowly fading And birds are waiting to do their mating When eventide is nigh, moonbeams are descending The day is ending, a happy ending The sun is sinking below the western sky
Every little breeze is sighing of love at sundown Every little bird is resting and feather nesting at sundown Each little rosebud is sleeping, while shadows are creeping In a little cottage cozy the world seems rosy at sundown Where a loving smile will greet me and always meet me at sundown I seem to sigh, I'm in heaven When night is falling and love is calling me home
Daydreams through fields of clover, will soon be over And happy hours 'mid sunny flowers will wait another day Sweet dreams have just begun, dear, the day is done, dear When skies grow dimmer And stars will glimmer along the starlit way
Every little breeze is sighing of love at sundown Every little bird is resting and feather nesting at sundown Each little rosebud is sleeping, while shadows are creeping In a little cottage cozy the world seems rosy at sundown Where a loving smile will greet me and always meet me at sundown I seem to sigh, I'm in heaven When night is falling and love is calling me home
(At) The End (Of A Rainbow) Composer(s): Sid Jacobson - Jimmy Krondes Performer(s): Earl Grant
At the end of a rainbow, you'll find a pot of gold At the end of a story, you'll find it's all been told But our love has a treasure our hearts can always spend And it has a story without any end
At the end of a river, the water stops its flow At the end of a highway, there's no place you can go But just tell me you love and you are only mine And our love will go on till the end of time
At the end of a river, the water stops its flow At the end of a highway, there's no place you can go But just tell me you love and you are only mine And our love will go on till the e-end of time
Doin' What Comes Natur'lly
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
First performance by: Ethel Merman & Art Barnett - 1946
Folks are dumb where I come from They ain't had any learning Still they're happy as can be Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) Folks like us could never fuss With schools and books and learning Still we've gone from A to Z Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) You don't have to know how to read or write When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight You don't have to look in a book to find out What he thinks of the moon and what is on his mind That comes naturally (that comes naturally) My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name He signs his checks with "x's" But they cash them just the same If you saw my pa and ma You'd know they had no learning Still they've raised a family Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) Cousin Jack has never read an almanac on drinking Still he's always on the spree Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) Sister Sal who's musical has never had a lesson Still she's learned to sing off-key Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) You don't have to go a private school Not to pick up a penny near a stubborn mule You don't have to have a professor's dome Not to go for the honey when the bee's not home That comes naturally (that comes naturally) My tiny baby brother, who's never read a book Knows one sex from the other All he had to do was look Grandpa Bill is on the hill With someone he just married There he is at ninety-three Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally)

At the dark end of the street That's where we always meet Hiding in shadows where we don't belong Living in darkness to hide our wrong You and me at the dark end of the street You and me
I know time is gonna take its toll We have to pay for the love we stole It's a sin and we know it's wrong But our love keeps coming on strong Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street You and me
They're gonna find us, oh, they'll find us They're gonna find us, they're gonna find us Oooooh, some day You and me at the dark end of the street You and me
And when the daylight hour rolls around And by chance we're both downtown If we should meet, just walk on by Ooooh darling, please don't you cry Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street You and me
