Let There Be Love ((Dutch Version: Van Wie Ik Hou (by Will Tura) - 2009)) Composer(s): Ian Grant - Lionel Rand First release by: Swing & Sway with Sammy Kaye - 1940 Covered by multiple other artists
Let there be you Let there be me Let there be oysters Under the sea
Let there be wind An occasional rain Chile con carne Sparkling champagne
Let there be birds To sing in the trees Someone to bless me Whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos A lark and a dove But first of all, please Let there be love
Let there be cuckoos A lark and a dove But first of all, please Let there be love ...
Bright White Composer(s): Shawn Phillips Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
Now I told you a long time ago that I'd hold you never let you go behind me anywhere I might flow And I know you believe in me And I hope you are seeing my dream A whole lot of people in this world Just running around
And it's a long way in the face of fear and there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore and money is the name in the game of fame but the music don't come out quite the same anymore
It's all about a bright white light shining through your mind and guiding your way Mama put your arms around me fill me with your joy and rock me all night
I told you a long time ago that I'd hold you never let you go behind me anywhere I might flow And I'll hold you in winter and spring and behold you in everything I sing Being in your arms is just like coming home
And it's a long way in the face of fear and there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore and money is the name in the game of fame but the music don't come out quite the same anymore
It's all about a bright white light shining through your mind and guiding your way Mama put your arms around me fill me with your joy and rock me all night
Let The Worry Bird Worry For You Composer(s): Leo Robin - Jule Styne Performer(s): Nellie Lutcher & Her Rhythm
Everyone has his share of care and woe Even in Lovers Lane theres rain and snow We all have to pay the piper So why be a gloomy griper Forget regret, dont let it get you low, no
Let the worry bird worry for you Let the worry bird fuss and stew Hes a wonderful pet And when you get the jitters, he twitters Let the worry bird worry his head Have the time of your life instead Whats a tumble or two As long as you can keep well, sleep well
Every cloud is silver-lined, bear that in mind When old man trouble gets tough And the going gets rough Let the worry bird worry for you Its remarkable what hell do Hell consider it fun to be your understudy So buddy, why should you be blue? Let the worry bird sing the blues for you

Chorus: (Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la) Baby, baby, you & I will be seein'... Bright shiny colors so strange and new Bright shiny colors I'll see with you Bright shiny colors, that's what I'll say Bright shiny colors run through my head
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
People's faces painted just like clowns We'll ride elevators up and down We'll go places no one ever goes We'll go walking on our own rainbows, and we'll sing
Let The Wind Carry Me Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
Papa's faith is people Mama she believes in cleaning Papa's faith is in people Mama she's always cleaning Papa brought home the sugar Mama taught me the deeper meaning She don't like my kick pleat skirt She don't like my eyelids painted green She don't like me staying up late In my high-heeled shoes Living for that rock'n'roll dancing scene Papa says leave the girl alone, mother She's looking like a movie queen
Mama thinks she spoilt me Papa knows somehow he set me free Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten She blames herself But papa he blesses me It's a rough road to travel Mama let go now It's always called for me Sometimes I get that feeling And I want to settle And raise a child up with somebody I get that strong longing And I want to settle And raise a child up with somebody But it passes like the summer I'm a wild seed again Let the wind carry me

Let The Rest Of The World Go By Composer(s): Ernest Ball - Karen Brennan Performer(s): Dick Haymes and multiple other artists
Is the struggle and strife we find in this life Really worth while, after all I've been wishing today I could just run away Out where the west winds call
With someone like you, a pal good and true I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find Some place that's known to God alone Just a spot to call our own We'll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease Out there beneath a kindly sky We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west And let the rest of the world go by
Is the future to hold just struggles for gold While the real world waits outside Away out on the breast of the wonderful west Across the Great Divide
With someone like you, a pal good and true I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find Some place that's known to God alone Just a spot to call our own We'll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease Out there beneath a kindly sky We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west And let the rest of the world go by

Bright Eyes Composer(s): Mike Batt Originally performed by: Art Garfunkel Covered by various other artists
Is it a kind of dream, floating out on the tide Following the river of death downstream, oh, is it a dream? There's a fog along the horizon, a strange glow in the sky And nobody seems to know where you go, and what does it mean Oh, oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
Is it a kind of shadow, reaching into the night Wandering over the hills unseen, or is it a dream? There's a high wind in the trees, a cold sound in the air And nobody ever knows where you go, and where do you start Oh, oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes

Veja só / Que tolice nós dois Brigarmos tanto assim / Se depois Vamos nós a sorrir / Trocar de bem no fim Para que maltratarmos o amor O amor não se maltrata não Para que / Se essa gente o que quer É ver nossa separação Brigo eu / Você briga também Por coisas tão banais E o amor / Em momentos assim Morre um pouquinho mais E ao morrer / Então é que se ve Que quem morreu fui eu e foi você Pois sem amor estamos sós / Morremos nós

Tommy: No, Fiona You won't remember that way And neither will I
You and the world we knew will glow, till my life is through For you're part of me from this day on And someday if I should love, it's you I'll be dreaming of For you're all I'll see from this day on These hurried hours were all the life we could share Still, I will go with not a tear, just a prayer That when we are far apart, you'll find something from your heart Has gone! Gone with me from this day on
You see? We mustn't be sorry about anything

Tommy: But it'll fade in time
Fiona: No It winna do that
Through all the years to come, an' through all the tears to come I know I'll be yours from this day on

I can hear the guitars start to play And very soon they say I was a fool to turn my love away And with each glass of wine I feel a glow And very soon I know I was a fool to let my baby go
So let the heartaches begin I can't help it, I can't win I've lost that girl for sure Tears won't help anymore Yes let the heartaches begin I can't help it, I can't win I've lost that girl for sure Now she's gone I can't hold back the tears anymore
I can see the couples dancin' through the night They hold each other tight As they dance in love till the morning light The soft embraces that they seem to share Just make me feel aware Of the lonliness I find so hard to bear
So let the heartaches begin I can't help it, I can't win I've lost that girl for sure My tears won't help anymore Yes let the heartaches, heartaches begin I just can't help it,you know that I just can't win I've lost that girl for sure And now that she's gone I can't hold back the tears anymore
