Maybe It's Because Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Johnnie Scott Performer(s): Dick Haymes and various other artists
Maybe it's because the kiss you gave me Touched my heart and went right through I can't tell you why, I only know that I Fell helplessly in love with you
Maybe it's because the song we danced to Told a story old and new I can't figure out just why it came about Or how I fell in love with you
I could say you're grand And therefore I care for you so But there is a why and wherefore And I'd like to know
Maybe it's because the star I wished on Made a certain wish come true Or it just could be that you were meant for me And maybe I was meant for you
On A Clear Day (You Can See Forever) Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner Performer(s): Robert Goulet; and various other artists
On a clear day, rise and look around you And you'll see who you are On a clear day how it will astound you That the glow of your being outshines every star
You'll feel part of ev'ry mountain, sea, and shore You can hear from far and near a world you've never heard before
And on a clear day, on that clear day You can see forever and ever more
(instrumental first line) You can hear from far and near a world you've never heard before
And on that clear day, on that clear day You can see forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and evermore!
Maybe It Was Magic Composer(s): Peter Brown; Pat Hurely Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
There were good times I still remember when I made you smile When life was easy We'd coexist in a comfortable style And there were feelings I was inclined to believe they would never fade It's so funny How things don't always work that way
There was something in the air Maybe it was magic And there was something in your voice When you used to call my name And there are moments in my life That I can still remember There are places in my heart That I cannot forget
There was music We danced in the sunlight and glittered like gold Life was free then With time on our side we would never grow old And there were feelings Burning with fire in the heat of a summer night And there were sweet dreams When once upon a time was just right
There was something in the air Maybe it was magic And there was something in your voice When you used to call my name And there are moments in my life That I can still remember And there are places in my heart That I cannot forget
There was something in the air Maybe it was magic There was something in your voice When you used to call my name There are moments in my life That I can still remember There are places in my heart That I cannot forget....
On A Carousel Composer(s): Allan Clarke; Tony Hicks; Graham Nash Performer(s): The Hollies; and various other artists
Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?
Horses chasing 'cause they're racing So they ain't so far
On a carousel, on a carousel
Nearer and nearer by changing horses, still so far away People fighting for their places just get in my way Soon you'll leave and then I'll lose you Still we're going round
On a carousel, on a carousel round and round and round and round round and round and round and round with you Up, down, up, down, up, down, too
As she leaves, she drops the presents that she won before Pulling ducks out of the water, got the highest score Now's my chance and I must take it, a case of do-or-die
On a carousel, on a carousel round and round and round and round round and round and round and round with you Up, down, up, down, up, down, too
Riding along on a carousel, trying to catch up to you Riding along on a carousel, will I catch up to you?
I wanna show you that anything is possible I wanna show you that your wildest dreams can come true And I swear some day I'm gonna figure out how to just that But until then, I guess trying is all I can do
Maybe I'm wrong thinking you want something better Maybe I'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night Maybe I'm wrong about every little thing I'm talking about I said maybe I'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe I'm right
No, it's none of my business but I think I can make you happy But it really doesn't matter if it's me or it's someone else All that I know is that I think that your kinda special And one way or another gonna see that I can treat you well
Maybe I'm wrong thinking you want something better Maybe I'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night Maybe I'm wrong about every little thing I'm talking about I said maybe I'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe I'm right
You seem to think that Lady Luck just doesn't like you Well, I've been trying to belive that the Lady just ain't that dumb Oh, just give her time to get here And I'm sure that when she gets here She'll be really glad to be here when she comes
Maybe I'm wrong thinking you want something better Maybe I'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night Maybe I'm wrong about every little thing I'm talking about I said maybe I'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong thinking you want something better Maybe I'm wrong thinking you got no problem making it through the night Maybe I'm wrong about every little thing I'm talking about I said maybe I'm wrong, but just maybe, maybe I'm right
On A Bus To St. Cloud Composer(s): Gretchen Peters Performer(s): Benny Neyman & Tony Willé; and various other artists
On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota I thought I saw you there With the snow falling down around you Like a silent prayer And once on a street in New York city With the jazz and the sin in the air And once on a cold L.A. freeway Going nowhere
And its strange But its true I was sure it was you Just a face In the crowd On a bus To St. Cloud
In a church in downtown New Orleans I got down on my knees and prayed And I wept in the arms of Jesus For the choice you made We were just gettin to the good part Just gettin past the misery Oh, and its just like you Its just like you, to disagree
And its strange But its true You just slipped out of view Like a face In the crowd On a bus To St. Cloud
You chase me like a shadow You haunt me like a ghost And I hate you some And I love you some But I miss you most
On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota I thought I saw you there With the snow falling down around you Like a silent prayer
Maybe I'm Amazed Composer(s): Paul McCartney Originally performed by: Paul McCartney Covered by various other artists
Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way You Love Me All The Time Maybe I'm Afraid Of The Way I Love You Maybe I'm Amazed At The The Way You Pulled Me Out Of Time And Hung Me On A Line Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way I Really Need You Maybe I'm A Man And Maybe I'm A Lonely Man Who's In The Middle Of Something That He Dosen't Really Understand
Maybe I'm A Man And Maybe You're The Only Woman Who Could Ever Help Me Baby Won't You Help Me Understand
Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way You're With Me All The Time Maybe I'm Afraid Of The Way I Leave You Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way You Help Me Sing My Song Right Me When I'm Wrong Maybe I'm Amazed At The Way I Really Need You
Maybe I'll Come Back Composer(s): Charles L. Cooke; Howard C. Jeffrey Performer(s): Judy Garland; Marlene Dietrich
I will come back when the elephants roost in the trees I will come back when the birds make love to the bees I will come back when the sun refuses to shine And President Coolidge is a cousin of mine
I will come back when the fish walk around on two feet And promenade up and down on Washington Street When the snow has turned from white to blue Then maybe I will come back to you
Whistler's mother is a sister of mine
When the snow has turned from white to blue Then maybe I will come back to you Yes, maybe I'll come back Could be I'll be back Maybe I'll come back to you

Om Tarar Vore Guld English Title: If Tears Were Gold Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
Fåglarna sjunger, blommor slår ut Allt är sig likt som det varit förut Men du är ej här, fast jag minns dig ännu Kan inte glömma, jag var ju din fru
Vad man kan sakna någon ändå! Stunder av lycka tänker jag på Hur kan en saga så vacker som vår Plötsligt ta slut efter så många år?
Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld Jag kan aldrig glömma dig Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld Jag blir aldrig kär igen Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld Nu är jag bara en vän
Finns det nån mening med allt som var? Frågan jag ställer får inget svar Varför var ödet så hårt mot oss två? Allt blev förändrat när jag såg dig gå
Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld Jag kan aldrig glömma dig Ett litet gräl blev vårt avsked, det var nog min skuld Jag blir aldrig kär igen Jag skulle äga miljoner om tårar vore guld Nu är jag bara en vän
Om Jag Skriver En Sang Composer(s): Eva Dahlgren Performer(s): Eva Dahlgren
Vad ska jag skriva nu När alla ord tagit slut Å vad ska vi prata om När allt är utnött och fult
Det känns som om alla Väntar sig Att jag ska hitta på nya ord Som inte finns på vår jord
Men om jag skriver en sång Full av kärlek och hat En sång som säger att det här är jag En sång utan massor av ord En sång som man kan sjunga Gång på gång Och tåren på min kind Torkar snabbt i dess vind Om natten är lång Så vad gör väl de' Så länge du är med
Det känns som om alla gamla sånger Aldrig nått sitt mål Som om alla dessa nya människor Aldrig upplevt en vår Så snart de talar till mej Känns allt så dumt och fel Jag vill få er att se
Men om jag skriver en sång Full av kärlek och hat En sång som säger att det här är jag En sång utan massor av ord En sång som man kan sjunga Gång på gång Och tåren på min kind Torkar snabbt i dess vind Om natten är lång Så vad gör väl de' Så länge du är med
Olivia despertó por la mañana como suele hacer la gente más o menos con el sol
Era un sábado más en su ventana era otra invitación para la suerte era otra semejanza del amor con que trenzaba hijas y calor con la soledad era la soledad salía el sol
Olivia en su península poblada por la lentitud del día por el tiempo sin hacer
Sobre su condición iba parada como una diosa de la luna fría que las estrellas quiere conocer y da una piedra errante de comer con su soledad era la soledad y vio llover
Olivia no sabía que la noche tiende puentes de aguacero para llegar a su umbral
Olivia no sabía que hay un coche y un precipicio al borde del cochero y oyó decir que un astro guía en el mar y salió de su isla a caminar con su soledad era la soledad y oyó cantar
