Away From You Composer(s): Gerry Marsden - John Chadwick First release by: Gerry & The Pacemakers - 1963
When I'm away from you No wonder I feel blue Without your love (without your love) Without your charms Want you in my arms
I dream about you every night Hopin', waitin' for you to write Until at last (until at last) I find, can't get you off my mind (off my mind, can't get you off my mind)
If you only knew How my poor heart yearns for you Then darling you'll be Ever true and faithful to me
So when I'm by your side Please remember how I cried For your love (for your love) For your charms Want you in my arms (in my arms, want you in my arms)
If you only knew How my poor heart yearns for you Then darling you'll be Ever true and faithful to me
So when I'm by your side Please remember how I cried For your love (for your love) For your charms Want you in my arms
Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin' (Gerry & The Pacemakers)
Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin'
Composer(s): Gerry Marsden
Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers
Don't let the sun catch you crying The night's the time for all your tears Your heart may be broken tonight But tomorrow in the morning light Don't let the sun catch you crying
The nighttime shadows disappear And with that go all your tears, baby For the morning will bring joy For every girl and boy Don't don't don't don't let the sun catch you crying Oooo baby
You know that crying's not a bad thing But stop your crying when the birds sing Oh no no no
Oh yeah Oooo oooo
Just don't forget that love's just a game And it can always come again So don't let the sun catch you crying Don't let the sun catch you crying, baby
Tomorrow in the morning light Everything gonna be all right Tomorrow in the morning light Everything gonna be all right Tomorrow in the morning light Everything gonna be all right (repeat)
Away From The Numbers Composer(s): Paul Weller First release by: The Jam - 1977
Things are getting just too cozy for me I now see people as they see me Gonna break away and gain control You free your mind You free your soul I was the type who knocked at old men (history's easy) Who together at tables sit and drink beer (somewhere is really) Then I saw that I was really the same So this link's breaking away from the chain
Away from the numbers Away from the numbers Is where I'm gonna be Away from the numbers Away from the numbers Is where I am free
Away from the numbers Away from the numbers Is where i'm gonna be
I was sick and tired of my little niche I'm gonna break away and find where life is
And all those fools I thought were my friends (coaching is easy) They now stare at me and don't see a thing (reality's so hard) Till their life is over and they start to moan How they never had the chance to make good
Away from the numbers Away from the numbers Is where I'm gonna be Away from the numbers Away from the numbers Is where I am free Is where I am free Is where I'm gonna be It's reality
Reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard Reality's so hard, reality's so hard, reality's so hard

and multiple other artists
Don't let the stars get in your eyes Don't let the moon break your heart Love blooms at night In the daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes Oh, keep your heart for me For someday I'll return And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many nights, too many stars Too many moons to change your mind If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong When the stars come out remember you are mine
Don't let the stars get in your eyes Don't let the moon break your heart Love blooms at night In the daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes Oh, keep your heart for me For someday I'll return And you know you're the only one I'll ever love
Too many miles, too many days Too many nights to be alone Ah please keep your heart while we are apart Don't you linger in the moonlight when I'm gone
Don't let the stars get in your eyes Don't let the moon break your heart Love blooms at night In the daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes Oh, keep your heart for me For someday I'll return And you know you're the only one I'll ever love You're the only one I'll ever love
He was born in a very bad part of town Where the sun never shone And the people went round with their heads hung low There was no work to do nowhere to go And so he was born to lose
Well he got up one morning and he switched on his TV There was a whole lot of people One big happy family And he knew that's the place he had to be So he got himself up He brushed himself down He read some books and he oiled his brain He started to work and he started to train And he knew he'd never be the same again No more were you born to lose
Hey boy what you gonna do When there ain't no future here for you You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out 'Cause you know you were born to lose
Now he takes his place as one of the family All together different colours and lookin' so fine In the same place and at the same time 'Cause he pulled himself up And got himself out He read some books and he oiled his brain He started to work and he started to train And he knew he'd never be the same again No more you were born to lose
Hey boy what you gonna do When there ain't no future here for you You gotta pick yourself up and pull yourself out 'Cause you know you were born to lose

Peperoncini rossi nel sole cocente polvere sul viso sul cappello io e Maddalena all'occidente abbiamo aperto i nostri occhi oltre il cancello Ho dato la chitarra al figlio del fornaio per una pizza ed un fucile la ricomprerò lungo il sentiero e suonerò per Maddalena all'imbrunire Non chiagne Maddalena
Dio ci guarderà e presto arriveremo a Durango Strigneme Maddalena
sto deserto finirà e tu potrai ballare o' fandango

Did you ever lie and listen to the rain fall Did you ever own a homemade apple pie Did you ever watch a child while he was praying Friend don't let the good life pass you by Did you ever hold a hand to stop its trembling Did you ever watch the sun desert the sky Did you ever hold a woman while she's sleeping Friend don't let the good life pass you by Man was made for loving not for buying Gold can't give you things we really need Just look my friend there's happiness in living Somewhere between broke and being free Did you ever see the funny side of losin' Did you ever sit right down and have a cry Did you ever take the time to help your neighbor Just don't let the good life pass you by Man was made for loving... Just don't let the good life pass you by
Avrai sorrisi sul tuo viso come ad agosto grilli e stelle storie fotografate dentro un album rilegato in pelle tuoni d'aerei supersonici che fanno alzar la testa e il buio all'alba che si fa d'argento alla finestra avrai un telefono vicino che vuol dire già aspettare schiuma di cavalloni pazzi che si inseguono nel mare e pantaloni bianchi da tirare fuori che è già estate un treno per l'America senza fermate.
Avrai due lacrime più dolci da seccare un sole che si uccide e pescatori di telline e neve di montagne e pioggia di colline avrai un legnetto di cremino da succhiare avrai una donna acerba e un giovane dolore viali di foglie in fiamme ad incendiarti il cuore avrai una sedia per posarti e ore vuote come uova di cioccolato ed un amico che ti avrà deluso tradito e ingannato...
Avrai, avrai, avrai il tuo tempo per andar lontano camminerai dimenticando, ti fermerai sognando... Avrai, avrai, avrai la stessa mia triste speranza e sentirai di non avere amato mai abbastanza se amore, amore avrai...
Avrai parole nuove da cercare quando viene sera e cento ponti da passare e far suonare la ringhiera la prima sigaretta che ti fuma in gola un po' di tosse Natale di agrifoglio e candeline rosse avrai un lavoro da sudare mattini fradici di brividi e rugiada giochi elettronici e sassi per la strada avrai ricordi ombrelli e chiavi da scordare
Avrai carezze per parlare con i cani e sarà sempre di domenica domani e avrai discorsi chiusi dentro e mani che frugano le tasche della vita ed una radio per sentire che la guerra è finita...
Avrai, avrai, avrai il tuo tempo per andar lontano camminerai dimenticando, ti fermerai sognando... Avrai, avrai, avrai la stessa mia triste speranza e sentirai di non avere amato mai abbastanza se amore, amore, amore, amore avrai...
Don't Let The Blues Make You Bad Composer(s): Billy Mize Performer(s): Dean Martin
Don't let the blues make you bad It hurts so much to lose, I know you're sad Now you search for fun you never had Alright, but don't let the blues make you bad
Don't go too far at the bar Don't let 'em change what you are They'll take advantage of the pain Their world and yours are not the same
Don't let the fools tell you lies While they hold you close and sympathise Your kind of pride they never had Don't let the blues make you bad Oh, don't let the blues make you bad
Don't Let That Moon Get Away Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James V. Monaco Performer(s): Mel Tormé and multiple other artists
Its one of those nights for adventure We ought to be recklessly gay Who knows what well find, so if youre inclined Dont let that moon get away
Your eyes have a way of revealing The thoughts that you really should say It may be romance, so while theres a chance Dont let that moon get away
And dont let this meeting adjourn And dont be so ready to go But now is the right time to learn What every young heart should know
These moments dont happen so often It doesnt seem right to delay If you feel a tune, whatever you do Dont let that moon get away
Its one of those nights for adventure We ought to be recklessly gay
Your eyes have a way of revealing The thoughts that you really should say
And dont let this meeting adjourn And dont be so ready to go Now is the right time to learn Look out!
These moments dont happen so often I kinda think we shouldnt delay If you feel it too, heres what you do You better take advice from Torme And dont let that moon get away Dont you there let that moon get away Baby, dont let that moon get away Its one of those nights for adventure
Avond Composer(s): Boudewijn de Groot - Lennaert H. Nijgh Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Nu hoef je nooit je jas meer aan te trekken en te hopen dat je licht het doet Laat buiten de stormwind nu maar razen in het donker,want binnen is het warm en licht en goed Hand in hand naar buiten kijken waar de regen valt Ik zie het vuur van hoop en twijfel in je ogen en ik ken je diepste angst
Want je kunt niets zeker weten en alles gaat voorbij Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
En als je 's morgens opstaat ben ik bij je en misschien heb ik al thee gezet En als de zon schijnt buiten gaan we lopen door de duinen en als het regent gaan we terug in bed Uren langzaam wakker worden, zwevend door de tijd, ik zie het licht door de gordijnen en ik weet 't Verleden geeft geen zekerheid
Want je kunt niets zeker weten en alles gaat voorbij Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
Ik doe de lichten uit en de kamer wordt nu donker, een straatlantaarn buiten geeft wat licht En de dingen in de kamer worden vrienden die gaan slapen, de stoelen staan te wachten op 't ontbijt En morgen word ik wakker met de geur van brood en honing, de glans van 't gouden zonlicht in jouw haar En de dingen in de kamer, ik zeg ze welterusten, vanavond gaan we slapen en morgen zien we wel
Maar de dingen in de kamer zouden levenloze dingen zijn, zonder jou En je kunt niets zeker weten, want alles gaat voorbij Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
En je kunt niets zeker weten, want alles gaat voorbij Maar ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij Ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof, ik geloof in jou en mij
