Maybe September Composer(s): Ray Evans; Percy Faith; Jay Livingston Performer(s): Tony Bennett and various other artists
Maybe September I love again Maybe a rainbow Will catch me then This little boy's eyes Will find his way once more Just like before
When lips were tender The sway of the willow When love was born A face on the pillow When early moan I still see that golden world In all it's splendor Maybe September Love will come again
A taller tree, a sweeter log A bluer morning sky above And maybe come September I will set these wonders With my love
On A Moonlight Night Composer(s): Louis Wolfe Gilbert
Wonder world of mine
would that I were thine, ever more You were always kind all the joy I find, at your door Love and all it means I found in nature scenes with the one that I adore
On a moonlight night On a beautiful moonlight night Stars shine bright, and you gaze to your heart's delight Romance comes on its wings and with dawn takes flight Loved one sweet one, moonlight and you are wonderful
Maybe it's imaginary, I'd like to know What's the world coming to and where will it go? The hole in the sky where the sunshine gets in It dries up the land as it mucks up your skin And I dont know why, who will reveal? Maybe it's imaginary, maybe it's real We wash all the food and we peel off the skin But what is the point if it's poisoned within? Now I don't know why we say ok Maybe it's imaginary, hope it's not too late And when in the summer we go to the sea The things floating by aren't what we want to see And I'd change it all if I had one wish I'd never go swimming with those nuclear fish Maybe those imaginary rivers run dry But if it's true then I'd like to know why I don't know much but I'd like to know why
On A Monday Composer(s): Huddie Ledbetter Performer(s): Ry Cooder; and various other artists
On a Monday, I was arrested On a Tuesday, I was locked up in jail On a Wednesday, my trial was attested On a Thursday, nobody would go my bail
Almost done, I'm almost done, almost done And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
Take these stripes, stripes from around my shoulder Take these chains, these chains from around my legs Lord, these stripes, it sure don't worry me But these chains, these chain's gonna kill me dead
Yes, I'm almost done, almost done, almost done And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
On Friday, my baby went a-walking On a Saturday, she locked me outa the door On a Sunday, we were sitting down a-talking On a Monday, she pawned all of my clothes
On A Little Street In Singapore Composer(s): Peter De Rose; Billy Hill Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
On a little street in Singapore We'd meet beside a lotus-covered door A veil of moonlight on her lonely face How pale the hands that held me in embrace My sails tonight are filled with perfume of Shalimar And temple bells will guide me to the shore And then I'll hold her in my arms, and love the way I loved before On a little street in Singapore
On A Coconut Island Composer(s): Alex Anderson Performer(s): Louis Armstrong; and various other artists
On a coconut island I'd like to be a castaway with you On a coconut island There wouldn't be so very much to do
I would linger a while and just gaze into your lovely eyes so blue Then I'd walk for a mile and come running back to be with you There the waves would make a pair of willing slaves of you and me forever And we'd laze for days and days and never gaze out where the ships go sailing by
On a coconut island I'd like to be a castaway with you Just to bask in your smile And to realize my dream come true
I would linger a while and just gaze into your lovely eyes so blue Then I'd walk for a mile and come running back to be with you There the waves would make a pair of willing slaves of you and me forever And we'd laze for days and days and never gaze out where the ships go sailing by
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
Omdat Ik Van Je Hou Italian Title: L'Amore E Un Attimo Composer(s): M. Ramieri Performer(s): Louis Neefs
Dag, m'n lieve lieve meisje 't Is alweer lang geleden Maar hoe is het nou
Ja echt, echt dat wil ik weten Ik kan je niet vergeten Hoe is het nou
Nee, dat is niet wat ik vroeg Je stem alleen is niet genoeg Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Waarom zeg jij nu niets Denk niet dat het nu zomaar over is Daarom bel ik je op Alleen omdat ik jou zo vreselijk mis
Als alles anders was, m'n lieve meisje Dan zou ik nu bij jou kunnen zijn Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
Dat, m'n lieve lieve meisje En laat de rest maar zitten Is wat ik zeggen wou
Wat jij en ik ook mogen vinden We komen toch nooit verder Dan hoe is het nou
Nee, dat is niet wat ik vroeg Je stem alleen is niet genoeg Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou Omdat ik van je hou, omdat ik van je hou Maar dat kan ik nu niet zeggen tegen jou
