Laughter In The Rain Composer(s): Neil Sedaka - Phil Cody First release by: Neil Sedaka - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists
Strolling along country roads with my baby It starts to rain, it begins to pour Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin I feel a shiver run up my spine I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside
After a while we run under a tree I turn to her and she kisses me There with the beat of the rain on the leaves Softly she breathes and I close my eyes Sharing our love under stormy skies
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside
Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside
Beleza Pura Composer(s): Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Caetano Veloso; A Cor Do Som
Não me amarra dinheiro não Mas formosura Dinheiro não A pele escura Dinheiro não A carne dura Dinheiro não Moca preta do curuzu Beleza pura Federação beleza pura Boca do Rio Beleza pura Dinheiro não Quando essa preta comeca a tratar do cabelo É de se olhar Toda a trama da trança A transa do cabelo Conchas do mar Ela manda buscar p'ra botar no cabelo Toda minúcia Toda delícia Nao me amarra dinheiro não Mas elegância Nao me amarra dinheiro não Mas a cultura Dinheiro não A pele escura Dinheiro não A carne dura Dinheiro não Moco lindo do Badauê Beleza pura Do Iê aiyê Beleza pura Dinheiro yeah Beleza pura Dinheiro não Dentro daquele turbante do Filho de Ghandi É o que há tudo é chique demais, tudo é muito elegante Manda botar Fina palha da costa e que tudo se trance Todos os búzios Todos os ócios Nao me amarra dinheiro não, mas os mistérios
Beleza só se tem quando se acende a lamparina Iluminando a alma se entende a própria sina E quando se vê o arame que amarra toda gente Pendendo das estacas sob um sol indiferente Beleza só depois de uma sangria desatada Aberta na ferida dos perigos do amor E quando se afasta a sombra triste do remorso Que impede olhar pra dentro para enfrentar a dor Repara este silêncio que se estende da janela Repassa o teu passado e come o lixo que ele encerra Vagar sem remissão é também parte da questão Juntar estas migalhas para refazer o pão Não é da natureza que ele surge confeitado Mas é desta tristeza, deste adubo de rancor Beleza é o temporal que suja e corta uma visão E esmaga qualquer sonho com um grito de pavor
Laughing On The Outside Composer(s): Ben Raleigh - Bernie Wayne Performer(s): Dinah Shore and multiple other artists
The crowd sees me out dancing Carefree and romancing Happy with my someone new I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside 'cause I'm still in love with you
They see me night and daytime Having such a gay time They don't know what I go through I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside 'cause I'm still in love with you
No one knows it's just a pose Pretending I'm glad we're apart And when I cry, my eyes are dry The tears are in my heart
My darling, can't we make up? Ever since our breakup Make believe is all I do I'm laughing on the outside Crying on the inside 'cause I'm still in love
Oh, I cannot tell you to make up your mind And gather together the best of your kind The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait You've got the power it's there deep inside Just look around and you'll know what you've tried So much relies on the course that you take The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah
Look at the heads buried deep in the sand Hiding from evil made by their own hand The prophets have spoken the words of ill fate Your childhood has ended you've taken the bait You've got the power it's there deep inside Just look around and you'll know what you've tried So much relies on the course that you take The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah
Laughing Man (In The Devil Mask) Composer(s): Tony Iommi - Henry Rollins Performer(s): Tony Iommi; Henry Rollins
Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask
You ripped yourself to shreds While I stood laughing You'd like to see me pay For the time you're having
You'll walk that line again You'll try to die again You'll waste your nights just thinking of me
As the needle finds the vein As the bullet goes through the brain As your city meets the sea As you're drowning, think of me
Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask
I am the lord of crime The laughing man in a devil mask I am the birth of crime The laughing man in a devil mask Drop to your knees again The laughing man in a devil mask Tie off and die again The laughing man in a devil mask
Push the rock back up the hill You start to feel like you're standing still Your life lies broken for all to see You'll hear the laughter, then you'll see me
Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask
Tender flock, led astray You always knew it would be this way You just go now, no need to ask You are the face behind the devil mask
The laughing man in the devil mask Laughing man in the devil mask I'm laughing, I'm laughing You're burning, you're burning The laughing man in the devil mask The laughing man in the devil mask Burn, burn Burn while I'm laughing
Laughing Boy Composer(s): Smokey Robinson Performer(s): Mary Wells
Laughing Boy (ha ha ha ha ha) That's what they used to call you Before you found a new love to take my place (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) Laughing Boy (ha ha ha ha ha) That's what they used to call you You always wore a smile upon your face (Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) But as I look at you now, I know that somehow The smile you're wearing is untrue Laughing Boy (Laughing Boy), I think you're blue
Your new love (your new love) She really must have hurt you She really must have filled your heart with pain 'Cause I know you well (know you well) And you could never fool me I know that somehow you're not the same (La la la la la la la la) As I look at you now, I know that somehow When you say you're happy, you're lying Laughing Boy (Laughing Boy), I believe you've been crying
(La la la la la la la la) Don't you know that it's true, I still love you Just as much as I did before So Laughing Boy (come on home) Come on home, Laughing Boy (come on home) Come on home, Laughing Boy (come on home) And smile once more
Beira-Mar Composer(s): Gilberto Gil; Caetano Veloso Performer(s): Gilberto Gil
Na terra em que o mar não bate Não bate o meu coração O mar onde o céu flutua Onde morre o sol e a lua E acaba o caminho do chão Nasci numa onda verde Na espuma me batizei Vim trazido numa rede Na areia me enterrarei Ou então nasci na palma Palha da palma no chão Tenho a alma de água clara Meu braço espalhado em praia E o mar na palma da mão No cais, na beira do cais Senti o meu primeiro amor E num cais que era só um cais Somente ao redor Mas o mar não é todo mar Mar que em todo mundo existe Ou melhor, é o mar do mundo De um certo ponto de vista De onde só se avista o mar A ilha de Itaparica A Bahia é que é o cais A praia, a beira, a espuma E a Bahia só tem uma Costa, clara, litoral É por isso que o azul Cor de minha devoção Não qualquer azul, azul De qualquer céu, qualquer dia O azul de qualquer poesia De samba tirado em vão É o azul que agente fita No azul do mar da Bahia É a cor que lá principia E que habita em meu coração
Laughing Composer(s): Randy Bachman - Burton Cummings First release by: The Guess Who - 1969
I should laugh, but I cry Because your love has passed me by You took me by surprise You didn't realize that I was waiting
Time goes slowly but carries on And now the best years have come and gone You took me by surprise I didn't realize that you were laughing
Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be You took away everything I had You put the hurt on me
Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be You took away everything I had You put the hurt on me
I go alone now, calling your name After losing at the game You took me by surprise I didn't realize that you were laughing
Time goes slowly, but carries on And now the best years, the best years have come and gone You took me by surprise I didn't realize, that you were laughing
Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me Laughing -- that ain't the way it should be You took away everything I had You put the hurt on me
Laughing -- the things you're doin' to me Laughing -- oh, what you're doin' to me You took away everything I had You put the hurt on me
Oo! Laughing -- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Laughing -- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Laughing -- well, you're laughin' at me Laughing -- well, you're laughin' at me Laughing -- oh, what you're doin' to me, girl Laughing -- I'm a-lookin', you're laughin' Laughing -- I'm a-lookin', you're laughin' Laughing -- you're a-lookin', I'm a-laughin' Laughing -- laughin' at me Laughing -- ah, but you're a-laughin', baby Laughing
Being With You Composer(s): Smokey Robinson Originally performed by: Smokey Robinson Covered by various other artists
Ooh...ooh...ooh... Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Honey, don't go, don't leave this scene Be out of the picture and off of the screen Don't let them say, "We told you so" They tell me you'll love me and then let me go
I've heard the warning voice from friends and my relations They tell me all about your heartbreak reputation
But I don't care what they think about me And I don't care what they say, no I don't care what they think if you're leavin' I'm gonna beg you to stay

I don't care what they think about me And I don't care what they say, ooh I don't care what they think if you're leavin' I'm gonna beg you to stay

Laugh, Laugh ((French Version: Passe, Passe Ton Chemin (by Noël Deschamps) - 1965 Composer(s): Ron Elliott First release by: The Beau Brummels - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
I hate to say it but I told you so, don't mind my preachin' to you I said "don't trust 'em, baby" now you know You don't know ev'rything there is to know in school Wouldn't believe me when I gave advice, I said that he was a tease If you want help you better ask me now So be sincere, convince me with a "pretty please"
Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die It seemed so funny to me Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be Lonely, oh so lonely
Don't think I'm bein' funny when I say you got just what you deserve I can't help feeling you found out today You thought you would, you could, you had a lot of nerve
Won't say I'm sorry for the things I said I'm glad he packed up to go You kept on braggin' he was yours instead Found you don't know ev'rything there is to know
Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die It seemed so funny to me Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be Lonely, oh so lonely
Before I go I got to say one thing, don't close your ears to me Take my advice and you find out that he Is just another guy who'll cause you misery Don't say you can't get any boy to call, do be so smug or else You'll find you can't get any boy a'tall You'll wind up an old lady sittin' on the shelf.
Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die It seemed so funny to me Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be Lonely, oh so lonely
Being Together Composer(s): Tony Romeo Performer(s): David Cassidy
Us being together is always A very big deal to me Us taking some time from our daily routines Only means that we care And we wanted to share for a while A tear or a smile Give part of ourselves to somebody else
And our being together is always So honest and real to me Us both saying "Yes, I'm aware that you're there" Goes to show how you know When somebody loves you so
Being together is my kind of fun Learning your ups and your downs Is my dance in the sun And if someone asked me What I needed to count on To make me as happy as I've ever been It would be our being together again
Passe, Passe Ton Chemin ((Adapted from: Laugh, Laugh (by The Beau Brummels) - 1965)) Composer(s): Ron Elliott - Gilles Thibault Performer(s): Noël Deschamps - 1965
Depuis des jours, tu fais les yeux doux À cette fille, je le sais Je n'ai rien dit et je ne suis pas fou Je connais depuis bien longtemps ce jeu-là Tu as bien dû t'apercevoir pourtant Qu'elle ne regardait que moi Alors, ne fais pas d'histoire et va-t'en Crois-moi, il vaut mieux arrêter ce jeu-là
Passe, passe ton chemin Je te dis ça en ami Passe, passe ton chemin Et va plus loin vivre ta vie
Oui, c'est moi qu'elle aime, oui, c'est moi Ton portefeuille est bourré de billets T'as voiture neuve et costume Tu vois que ça n'a pas marché Avec cette fille, ça ne prend pas, ces jeux-là Moi, dès le premier jour, je le savais Tu ne pouvais pas gagner Notre amour était bien trop fort pour toi Il y a longtemps qu'il ne craint plus ces jeux-là
Passe, passe ton chemin Je te dis ça en ami Passe, passe ton chemin Et va plus loin vivre ta vie
Oui, c'est moi qu'elle aime Oui, c'est moi qu'elle aime Oui, c'est moi qu'elle aime Oui, c'est moi qu'elle aime Oui, c'est moi
Bein' Green Composer(s): Joe Raposo Performer(s): Jim Henson and various other artists
[Greetings! Kermit the Frog here and today I'd like to tell you a little bit about the color green Do you know what's green? Well I am for one thing You see, frogs are green, and I'm a frog And that means I'm green, you see?]
It's not that easy bein' green Having to spend each day the color of the leaves When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of Spring And green can be cool and friendly-like And green can be big like an ocean Or important like a mountain Or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine It's beautiful! And I think it's what I want to be
Laugh, Clown, Laugh! Composer(s): Ted Fiorito - Samuel M. Lewis - Joseph Young Performer(s): Fred Waring and multiple other artists

Bei Mir Bist Du Schön Composer(s): Sholem Secunda; Jacob Jacobs Sammy Cahn; Saul Chaplin Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters and various other artists
Of all the boys I've known, and I've known some Until I first met you, I was lonesome And when you came in sight, dear, my heart grew light And this old world seemed new to me
You're really swell, I have to admit you Deserve expressions that really fit you And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain All the things that you do to me
Bei mir bist du schön, please let me explain Bei mir bist du schön means you're grand Bei mir bist du schön, again I'll explain It means you're the fairest in the land
I could say "Bella, Bella", even say "Wunderbar" Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön So kiss me and say you understand
Bei mir bist du schön, you've heard it all before but let me try to explain Bei mir bist du schön means that you're grand Bei mir bist du schön, it's such an old refrain and yet I should explain It means I am begging for your hand
I could say "Bella, Bella", even say "Wunderbar" Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I could say "Bella, Bella", even say "Wunderbar" Each language only helps me tell you how grand you are
I've tried to explain, bei mir bist du schön So kiss me and say that you will understand
Bei Dir War Es Immer So Schön Composer(s): Hans Fritz Beckmann; Theo Mackeben Performer(s): Hildegard Knef and various other artists
Bei dir war es immer so schön Und es fällt mir unsagbar schwer, zu gehn Denn nur bei dir war ich wirklich zuhaus Doch der Traum, den ich hier geträumt, ist aus
Warum hast du mir denn so weh getan Und was fang ich ohne dich an Bei dir war es immer so schön Doch weil du eine andre liebst, muss ich gehn
Nun muss alles, alles enden Weil ich dich nun doch verlor Und dass meine kleine Welt Wie ein Kartenhaus zerfällt, schmerzt mich sehr
Ich steh da mit leeren Händen Und bin arm wie nie zuvor Denn mein Reichtum warst nur du Und nun frag ich mich, wozu kam ich her
Bei dir war es immer so schön Und es fällt mir unsagbar schwer, zu gehn Denn nur bei dir war ich wirklich zuhaus Doch der Traum, den ich hier geträumt, ist aus
Warum hast du mir denn so weh getan Und was fang ich ohne dich an? Bei dir war es immer so schön Doch weil du eine andre liebst, muss ich gehn
