I'm gonna be here for you baby I'll be a man of my own word Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard I wanna sleep with you forever And I wanna die in your arms In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

Little Town In The Ould County Down Composer(s): Monte Carlo Performer(s): Andy Cooney and multiple other artists
Sure if I had the wings of a swallow I would travel far over the sea And a rocky old road I would follow to a place that is heaven to me When the sun goes to rest way down in the west Then I'll build such a nest in the place I love best
In that dear little town in the old County Down It will linger way down in my heart Tho it never was grand it is my fairy land Just a wonderful world set apart O my island of dreams you are with me it seems And I care not for fame or renown Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold Little town in the old County Down
In the evening when shadows are falling 'Round the old door without any key There's a voice in my dreams ever calling There are eyes ever watching for me There is someone I bless with true tenderness And her lips I'll caress when I bring happiness
In that dear little town in the old County Down It will linger way down in my heart Tho it never was grand it is my fairy land Just a wonderful world set apart O my island of dreams you are with me it seems And I care not for fame or renown Like the black sheep of old I'll return to the fold Little town in the old County Down
Making Love Out Of Nothing At All Composer(s): Jim Steinman Originally performed by: Air Supply Covered by various other artists
I know just how to whisper And I know just how to cry I know just where to find the answers And I know just how to lie I know just how to fake it And I know just how to scheme I know just when to face the truth And then I know just when to dream
And I know just where to touch you And I know just what to prove I know when to pull you closer And I know when to let you loose And I know the night is fading And I know the time's gonna fly And I'm never gonna tell you Everything I gotta tell you But I know I gotta give it a try
And I know the roads to riches And I know the ways to fame I know all the rules And I know how to break 'em And I always know the name of the game
But I don't know how to leave you And I'll never let you fall And I don't know how you do it Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all Out of nothing at all, Making love out of nothing at all
Everytime I see you all the rays of the sun Are streaming through the waves in your hair And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes Like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost And it's looking for a rhythm like you You can take the darkness from the pit of the night And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know Well it's nothing till I give it to you
I can make the runner stumble I can make the final block I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle I can make all the stadiums rock I can make tonight forever Or I can make it disappear by the dawn I can make every promise that has ever been made I can make all your demons be gone
But I'm never gonna make it without you Do you really want to see me crawl And I'm never gonna make it like you do Making love out of nothing at all
Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all Out of nothing at all, out of nothing at all Out of nothing at all

Making Love In The Rain Composer(s): James Harris; Terry Lewis Performer(s): Herb Alpert
Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me
Making love all alone I hear the rain on my window
It's just a little thing but it means so much to me
Our bodies together while the rain plays a melody
Every raindrop makes think of you (Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than... Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me
When we're done - all alone I hear the rain on my window
When it's stormy outside It's warm in my heart with you in my arms
And when your away from me I wish it would rain 'cause its always the same
Every raindrop makes think of you (Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than... Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me (I can't believe)
When I'm here all alone I hear the rain on my window (On my window)
Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me
Making love all alone I hear the rain on my window (On my window, I hear the raindrops fall)
Every raindrop makes think of you (Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do than... (Nothing that I'd rather do than) Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me (Making love, oohh making love)
When we're here all alone I hear the rain on my window (On my window, I hear it rain)
Making love in the rain I can't believe the joy it brings me (ooohhhh, yeah)
Si Tu Penses ((Adapted from: Little Town Flirt (by Del Shannon) - 1962)) Composer(s): Marion McKenzie - Del Shannon - Eddy Mitchell Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1963
Si tu penses (si tu penses) encore à moi (si tu penses) Si tu te lances dans la vie sans moi Réfléchis sur l'avenir, revis avec tes souvenirs
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas
Je sais bien (je sais bien) que notre amour (je sais bien) N'était rien, mais peut-être qu'un jour Tu regretteras ce temps, souviens-toi, tu m'aimais tant
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas
Si tu penses du mal de moi, si mes avances n'aboutissent pas Tu ne me feras pas de peine, je peux bien vivre sans toi Même si tu penses à moi (à moi, moi, moi)
Quand je pense (si tu penses) encore à toi (si tu penses) Il me semble que tu reviendras Ne crois surtout pas que je tente de te ramener vers moi
Si tu penses, hey, oh, oh, hey you... à moi Si tu y penses, ne m'oublie pas, oh, oh, oh (si tu penses)
Making Love In The Afternoon Performer(s): Karen Carpenter
Makin' love in the afternoon Makin' love to another Beatle tune And I know you're feelin' the same way too
All alone on a sunny day On our own and we had to get away And I know that I couldn't live without you Don't ever leave me alone Baby without you, I'd never make it alone
Makin' love on a sunny day Makin' love in a very special way And I hope you're feelin' the way I do When you're here, when you're next to me When you're near its the only place to be 'Cause I know that I couldn't live without you Dont ever leave me alone Livin'without you, I couldn't make it alone
Why wait for tomorrow? Tomorrow may never come Why wait for the evening shadows? Something behind me, will always remind me To wait for the morning Knowing you'll be here soon And then we can be together In the afternoon
Makin' love (Makin'love) Makin' love in the afternoon
Little Things Mean A Lot ((Danish Version: Småting Kan Sige Alt (by Gustav Winckler) - 1964)) Composer(s): Edith Lindeman - Carl Stutz First release by: Kitty Kallen - 1954 Covered by multiple other artists
Blow me a kiss across the room Say I look nice when I'm not Touch my hair as you pass my chair Little things mean a lot
Give me your arm as we cross the street Call me at six on the dot A line a day when you're far away Little things mean a lot
Don't have to buy me diamonds or pearls Champagne, sables or such I never cared much for diamonds and pearls 'Cause honestly, honey, they just cost money
Give me your hand when I've lost my way Give me your shoulder to cry on Whether the day is bright or gray Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile To show me you haven't forgot For always and ever, now and forever Little things mean a lot
Give me your hand when I've lost my way Give me your shoulder to cry on Whether the day is bright or gray Give me your heart to rely on
Send me the warmth of a secret smile To show me you haven't forgot For always and ever, now and forever Little things mean a lot
Making Love Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Bruce Roberts; Carole Bayer Sager Originally performed by: Roberta Flack
Here close to our feelings we touch again We love again Remember when we thought Our hearts would never mend And we're all the better for each other
There's more to love I know Than making love
Here no more confusion we see our lives We live our lives Remember when we thought We never would survive But now neither one of us is breaking
There's more to love I know Than making love
Some things never change Some things sometimes do And now I'm feeling strong enough to let you in And now neither one of us is breaking Now we know there's more to love Than making love And I'll remember you and making love And I'll remember you

It's on days like these When your brother falls You can read it all in the Times How a moving car Stole a movie star Little Things that keep us together While the war's going on It's on days like these When your childhood cries And you see it all on the news Little children starve Growing tired of born Little things that keep us all close and warm While the war's going on Find a place you can hide And take what you can The time will arrive When you need a friend Stop looking at us We're waving good-bye There's a man Shouting he's with me When that morning comes I can't wait to see Just how high his eagle On color screens Is gonna fly Going to fly It's on nights like these That your neighbor dies 'Cos he put a gun to his head He was so alone He had nothing left Little things that call for a drink That bury a soldier's death It's on days like these When your sister cries And your brother falls from your hands Jumbo jets can die Killing 81 Little things that help us get by the why Why the war's going on Why the war's going on Why the war is going on why the war is going on why the war's going on why the war's going on

Making A Noise Composer(s): Robbie Robertson Performer(s): Robbie Robertson
Contact From The Underworld Of Red Boy
Everyone has a song God gave us each a song That's how we know who we are Everyone has a song
We have come, heat the drum The land trembles with dancing We have come, bang the drum The land trembles with dancing
Making a noise in this world Making a noise in this world You can bet your ass I won't go quietly Makin' a noise in this world
I don't want your promise I don't want your whiskey I don't want your blood on my hands Only want what belongs to me
I think you thought I was gone I think you thought I was dead You won't admit that you was wrong Ain't there some shit that should be said
Making a noise in this world Making a noise in this world You can bet your ass I won't go quietly Makin' a noise in this world
The Indian dancers stop and stare at him Like he was bad weather He keeps dancing And knocks loose an eagle feather The drums stop This is the kind of silence that frightens white men
Making a noise in this world Making a noise in this world You can bet your ass I won't go quietly Makin' a noise in this world
