The Best Man
Composer(s): Roy Alfred - Fred Wise
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



I guess I've got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks
'Cause in that love department, I know all the ladies' tricks
Now I ran across a girl one day, she was as sharp as a girl could be
And I wasn't surprised to hear her say that she really went for me

She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door
She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for
She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy

But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins
But still I wasn't worrried, 'cause the best man always wins
The way it all turned out, there was no doubt
That I was best man in the end
Yes, I was the best man when she married my best friend

She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door
She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for
She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy

So don't you think you're best til you pass the test
And you know all the ladies' tricks
'Cause you'll wind up as the best man 
While the other guy gets the chicks

Canção Da América
Composer(s): Fernando Brant - Milton Nascimento
Performer(s): Milton Nascimento
and multiple other artists



Amigo é coisa para se guardar
Debaixo de 7 chaves
Dentro do coração
assim falava a canção que na América ouvi
mas quem cantava chorou ao ver o seu amigo partir
mas quem ficou, no pensamento voou
o seu canto que o outro lembrou
E quem voou no pensamento ficou
uma lembrança que o outro cantou
Amigo é coisa para se guardar
No lado esquerdo do peito
mesmo que o tempo e a distância digam não
mesmo esquecendo a canção
O que importa é ouvir a voz que vem do coração
Seja o que vier
venha o que vier
Qualquer dia amigo eu volto pra te encontrar
Qualquer dia amigo, a gente vai se encontrar

Aproveito pra agradecer à meus amigos
Eline taisa Smili, Rafa.......
E dizer que Danilo vc sempre vai ser meu amigo.........

Feather Your Nest
Composer(s): Al Kendis; 
James Brockman; Howard Johnson
Performer(s): Bob Crosby; Bob Cats; 
Les Brown; Henry Burr; Albert Campbell



Oh sweetheart mine, it's wedding time
The whole world seems to say
The summer days are fading
Into loveland let us stray
Birds sing merrily
High up in each tree
And, sweetheart, they sing messages
Just for you and me

Your heart is beating peacefully 
When friends are fond and true
The world is filled with gladness 
When the one you love loves you
Mountains or the sea over we may roam
The path that leands to love, sweet love
Leads to home sweet home

The birds are humming, "go feather your nest" 
Tomorrow's coming so feather your nest
It's time for mating, no use hesitating
The parson is waiting, he knows just whether it's best
In a home for two, love, together we'll rest
Where only true love, can weather the test
Don't be delaying, the organ is playing
The whole world is saying, "Go feather your nest" 

The Best Is Yet To Come
Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh - Cy Coleman
First recording/First release by: Tony Bennett - 1960/1961
Covered by multiple other artists



Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plumb 
You came along and everything started to hum 
Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come 

The best is yet to come and won't that be fine 
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine 

Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till out lips have met 
Wait till you see that sunshine day 
You ain't seen nothin' yet 

The best is yet to come and won't that be fine 
The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine 

From the day that your mine 
I'm gonna teach you to fly 
We've only tasted the wine 
We're gonna drain that cup dry 

Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround 
You think you've flown before, but you ain't left the ground 

Wait till you're locked in my embrace 
Wait till I hold you near 
Wait till you see that sunshine place 
There ain't nothin' like it here 

The best is yet to come, and won't that be fine 
The best is yet to come, from the day that your mine 

Canary Isle
Performer(s): Ben Schwartz



Down on an isle where palm trees sway
There's where I'll while my time away 
I hear it calling me
From way out in the sea
That's just the reason why I say

The balmy air just breathes perfume
And maidens dance 'neath tropic moon
Romance is everywhere
There's not a thought or care
Nothing can get me there too soon

Canary Isle where birds are singing
My fairy land, I'm going there
A little while, and I'll be bringing
A song of love, to my lady fair (Music will fill the air)
And while we're crooning, a long in tune 
Beneath the bright stars and silv'ry moon
You'll hear my song
I'll see your smile 
Then I'll belong
In Canary Isle

Fearless
Composer(s): Gary Nicholson;
Wally Wilson; Brian Stoltz
Performer(s): The Neville Brothers



I took a walk along the sea
Lost in thoughts of you and me
Just like the moon, turning the tide
I feel a pull from so deep inside

So many questions haunting us
So many doubts attacked our love
Dangerous thoughts of what could go wrong
Against the odds, we must carry on
We must be strong and fearless
We must be fearless

Counting on help from above
Trusting the power of love
We must be fearless, fearless, fearless

For so long I was afraid
To step from the shadows of my mistakes
Your love has given me the courage I need
Together I know, nothing can stop you and me
If we are fearless
We must be fearless

Counting on help from above
Trusting the power of love
We must be fearless
We must be fearless

We must stand in the light, willing to fight
Whatever may come betwen us and be fearless
We must be fearless

Counting on help from above
Trusting the power of love
We must be fearless, fearless, fearless

The Best Days Of My Life
Composer(s): Rod Stewart - Jim Cregan
Performer(s): Rod Stewart



You always said living with me was impossible
Try it I said just like the wind I'm changeable
We ain't got money but we sure got laughs 
lots of loving too
So I confess on my behalf
you're giving me honestly
the best days of my life

Your whispering girls said don't be a fool
don't give into him 
He's an animal treat you like dirt 
then he'll turn you in
You two are not compatible
It'll never never last 
They said I wasn't even suitable
But you're giving me honestly 
the best days of my life

Sometimes I wonder 
why does she bother with me at all
So staid in my ways 
Let's face it my dear, I'm insufferable

The crazy nights spilling into days
with all my noisy friends
But they all love you as much as I
Giving me constantly
the best days of my life
And a day without you at this point my dear
seems unthinkable
A night without you more often
than not is unbearable

But if it all can't work out
one can never never tell
In my heart there is no doubt
you gave to me unselfishly
the best days of my life

But if it all can't work out one can never never tell

Hello canary bird, this is a letter home
Well you know I want you to fly the whole world over
And find how my baby been gettin' along

And see can you see my little old angel child

Fearfully In Danger
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



On a dusty road you sit
Fearfully in danger
The intentions of my attitude
Have mastered the adventure

You'll be placed in harmony
A degree of anger
You have landed painfully
Fearfully in danger

In a state of trance
You may come and dance
You may sing the void for me

Constantly cold with fear
I know that I do not need you here

Does it fit your fears
Does it suit your face

No, you cannot grasp
The phase

Fearfully in danger
Fearfully in danger

De hemel vol sterren en de maan ontwaakt
Het leven in nachtblauw
Schaduwen teken de wereld opnieuw
Een wereld in nachtblauw
Nachtblauw
Wat verder in de buurt merk ik
hoe jij ook door het raam staart
Er zijn geen woorden nodig want ik weet
Wat in jou omgaat, net als bij mij

Jij bent ook zo passioneel
En al je zorgen verdwijnen
Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw
Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw
't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw
Als het kon sliepen wij nooit

'k Slenter door straten als ik jou wil ontmoeten
Wat ook jij houdt van nachtblauw
Hoog aan de hemel vliegt een vliegtuig voorbij
En het is zo dichtbij
Nachtblauw
En als het even kon, dan zouden wij dat vliegtuig volgen
We vlogen dan van nacht naar nacht en voelden ons geborgen
Dicht bij elkaar

Jij bent ook zo passioneel
En al je zorgen verdwijnen
Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw
Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw
't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw
Als het kon sliepen wij nooit

Er zijn geen woorden nodig want ik weet wat in jou omgaat
Ook jij komt weer tot leven als het nachtblauw in de nacht
Jouw ogen bereikt

Jij bent ook zo passioneel
En al je zorgen verdwijnen
Ook jij kan vergeten bij nachtblauw
Alles kleurt mooier bij nachtblauw
't Is zo romantisch bij nachtblauw
Als het kon sliepen wij nooit

Canadian Sunset
Composer(s): Eddie Heywood
First release by: Hugo Winterhalter And His Orch. with Eddie Heywood - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists



Once I was alone
So lonely and then
You came, out of nowhere
Like the sun up from the hills

Cold, cold was the wind
Warm, warm were your lips
Out there, on that ski trail
Where your kiss filled me with thrills

A weekend in Canada, a change of scene
Was the most I bargained for
And then I discovered you and in your eyes
I found the love that I couldn't ignore

Down, down came the sun
Fast, fast, fast, beat my heart
I knew when the sun set
From that day, we'd never ever part

F.D.R. Jones
Composer(s): Harold Rome
Performer(s): Judy Garland;
and various other artists



I hear tell there's a stranger in the Jones' household
(Yes siree, yes siree) That's what I am told
I hear tell there's a new arrival six days old
(Yes siree, yes siree) Worth his weight in gold
Come right in and meet the son
Christening's done, time to have some fun
(Yes Siree, yes siree) yes siree-e-e-e
(Yes siree, yes siree-e)

It's a big holiday everywhere
For the Jones Family has a brand new heir
He's a joy heaven sent, and we proudly present
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

When he grows up he never will stray
With a name like the one that he got today
When he walks down the street
Folks will say "pleased to meet
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones"

What a smile, and how he shows it
He'll be happy all day long
What a name, I bet he knows it
With that handle how can he go wrong

And the folks in the town all agree
He'll be famous, as famous as he can be
How can he be a dud
Or a stick-in-the-mud
When he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

Go to sleep my baby, and maybe
You'll balance the budget by and by
Oh you're a lucky baby
With Franklin D. for your name
Mrs. Jones' baby boy is a welcome resident
Give him a fishing rod for a toy
He's the future president
When this rascal goes to school
ABCs wont matter
Teach him plain old `rithmetic
And of course the fire side chatter
My friends, my friends, let's all shout "Hooray"

We'll be proud to affirm when he serves his fourth term
Just you wait and see, he'll make history
`Cause he's Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones

The Best
((Dutch Version: De Beste (Liliane Saint-Pierre) - 1998))
Composer(s): Holly Knight - Mike Chapman
First release by: Bonnie Tyler - 1988
Covered by multiple other artists



I call you when I need you
And my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me
Wild and wired
You come to me, give me everything I need

You bring a lifetime of promises
And a world of dreams
You speak the language of love
Like you know what it means
And it can't be wrong
Take my heart and make it strong

'Cause you're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you said
Tear us apart
Baby I would rather be dead

Deep in your heart
I see the start
Of every night and every day
And in your eyes I get lost
I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your arms
I could be in no better place
'Cause you're simply the best

Canadian Railroad Trilogy
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1967



There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real

But time has no beginnings and hist'ry has no bounds
As to this verdant country they came from all around
They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall
Built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us all

And when the young man's fancy was turnin' in the spring
The railroad men grew restless for to hear the hammers ring
Their minds were overflowing with the visions of their day
And many a fortune won and lost and many a debt to pay

For they looked in the future and what did they see
They saw an iron road runnin' from sea to the sea
Bringin' the goods to a young growin' land
All up through the seaports and into their hands

Look away said they across this mighty land
From the eastern shore to the western strand
Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow

Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
We're gonna lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow
Get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow

Behind the blue Rockies the sun is declinin'
The stars, they come stealin' at the close of the day
Across the wide prairie our loved ones lie sleeping
Beyond the dark oceans in a place far away

We are the navvies who work upon the railway
Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
Livin' on stew and drinkin' bad whiskey
Bendin' our old backs 'til the long days are done

We are the navvies who work upon the railway
Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun
Layin' down track and buildin' the bridges
Bendin' our old backs 'til the railroad is done

So over the mountains and over the plains
Into the muskeg and into the rain
Up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe
Swingin' our hammers and drawin' our pay
Drivin' 'em in and tyin' 'em down
Away to the bunkhouse and into the town
A dollar a day and a place for my head
A drink to the livin' and a toast to the dead

Oh the song of the future has been sung
All the battles have been won
O'er the mountain tops we stand
All the world at our command
We have opened up the soil
With our teardrops and our toil

For there was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real
And many are the dead men too silent to be real

Fauve D'Amazone
Composer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers



Je suis un grand fauve d'Amazone
Je vis
Dans la banlieue de Chinatown
La nuit
Au milieu des néons qui glissent
Jusqu'au soleil entre mes cuisses

Tu vivras quand je serai mort
Quand on aura brûlé mon corps
Quand la folie t'aura choisie like me

Je suis un grand fauve d'Amazone
Je crie
Si fort que je suis aphone
A la vie
J'aime le sang bleu des métisses
Et le triangle entre leurs cuisses

Je cherche une femme de chair
Une chaleur pas ordinaire
Une sauvage sans abri like me

Je suis un grand fauve d'Amazone
Traqué
Par du papier et par des ondes
Truquées
Je cherche un amour infaillible
Un courant irrésistible

C'est un grand désir primitif
Un acte d'amour collectif
Tu danses sur la galaxie like me

Tu es un grand fauve d'Amazone
Caché
Quelque part dans les chromosomes
Glacés
Viens te chauffer à la musique
Sors, sors un peu de ton flip

Tu vivras quand je serai mort
Quand on aura brûler mon corps
Quand la folie t'aura choisie like me

The Bells Of St. Mary's

Performer(s): Frances Alda 
and multiple other artists



The bells of St. Mary's
Ah! hear they are calling
The young loves, the true loves
Who come from the sea

And so, my beloved
When red leaves are falling
The love bells shall ring out
Ring out for you and me

The bells of St. Mary's
At sweet even time
Shall call me, beloved
To come to your side

And out in the valley
In sound of the sea
I know you'll be waiting
Yes, waiting for me

At the porch of St. Mary's
I'll wait there for you
In your soft wedding dress
With its ribbons of blue

In the church of St. Mary's
Sweet voices shall sing
For you and me, dearest
The wedding bells ring

Canadian Pacific
Composer(s): Ray Griff
Performer(s): George Hamilton IV; Chet Atkins; Hank Snow



I rode your ocean liner to Newfoundland
Where I made a living in an iron mine
When I got my fill I went to Nova Scotia
And I fished the salty waters for a time 

Passing thro' Prince Edward Island & New Brunswick
I could see the rocks and cliffs of solid stone
Listening to the seagulls calling to each other
Made me miss my darling and my distant home

Canadian Pacific, carry me 3,000 miles
Through the valleys and the forests
To the sunshine of her smile
'Cross the plains and the rugged mountains
Keep this wandering boy from harm
Canadian Pacific, take me to my baby's arms

The Atlantic disappeared on the horizon
And Quebec lay waiting for me down the track
For a while I drove a truck to keep from starving
In Ontario I was a lumberjack

Manitoba and Saskatchewan then followed
Where the wheat fields and the old Red River flowed
In the quiet hours your whistling on the praire
Touched my heart and set my memories aglow

I could feel the nearness of her warm, sweet kisses
When you rolled into Alberta westward bound
I worked on an oil rig to make some money
For a ticket to the sweetest girl around 

Pushing on past Lake Louise in all it's splendor
Where the trees and Rockies touch the sky above
I got to British Columbia and heaven
On your track I made it back to my true love

Canadian Pacific, carry me 3,000 miles
Through the valleys and the forests
To the sunshine of her smile
'Cross the plains and the rugged mountains
Keep this wandering boy from harm
Canadian Pacific, take me to my baby's arms

Faut-Il Que Je T'Aime
Composer(s): J. Datin; M. Vidalin
Performer(s): France Gall



L'autre soir je t'attendais
Quand un garçon s'est approché
Il a vu que je pleurais
Il a voulu me consoler
Tout le temps qu'il me parlait
C'est à toi que je pensais
C'était lui qui me parlait
Mais c'était toi que j'entendais

Mon Dieu faut-il que je t'aime
Faut-il que je t'aime
Pour te dire ça
Mon Dieu faut-il que je t'aime
Faut-il que je t'aime
Pour te dire ça

Il était tellement gentil
Vive les vacances et c'est parti
On a été au karting
Au driving et au bowling
Tout le temps qu'on s'amusait
C'est à toi que je pensais
C'était toi qui étais là
C'était lui qui n'y était pas

Mon Dieu faut-il que je t'aime
Faut-il que je t'aime
Pour te dire ça
Mon Dieu faut-il que je t'aime
Faut-il que je t'aime
Pour te dire ça

Quand il m'a raccompagné
Il aurait voulu m'embrasser
Mais je lui ai expliqué
Que j'étais presque fiancée
Juste un baiser sur la joue
Bonne nuit merci beaucoup
C'était lui que je quittais
Mais c'était toi qui me manquais

Mon Dieu faut-il que je t'aime
Faut-il que je t'aime
Pour te dire ça
Mon Dieu faut-il que je t'aime
Faut-il que je t'aime
Pour te dire ça

First release by: Pete Seeger - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



O what will you give me
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future
Cry the brown bells of Merthyr
Who made the mine owner
Say the black bells of Rhondda
And who robbed the miner
Cry the grim bells of Blaina 

They will plunder willy-nilly
Cry the bells of Caerphilly
They have fangs, they have teeth
Say the loud bells of Neathe
Even God is uneasy
Say the moist bells of Swansea
They will plunder willy-nilly
Say the bells of Caerphilly

Put the vandals in court
Say the bells of Newport
All would be well if, if, if
Cry the green bells of Cardiff
Why so worried, sisters, why
Sang the silver bells of Wye
And what will you give me
Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Ik ken 'n heel leuk tentje
Daar speelt een prima bandje
En iedereen die kent je
Hou je mond nee niets te maren
Poets je schoenen kam je haren

Hé!
Er is geen bal op de tv
Alleen 'n film met Doris Day
En wat dacht je van net twee
Ein Wiener operette
Nee!
Er zit een knop op je TV
Die helpt je zo uit de puree
Druk 'em in en ga maar mee
De bloemen buiten zetten

Bah Bah wat 'n misère
Als Marco staat te blèren
Of 'n documantaire
Kan dan niemand ons bevrijden
Van Willem Duys en Van der Meyden
En hoor ze nou es slissen
In spelletjes en kwissen
'N mens kan zich vergissen
Maar dit is toch al te lullig
Imbeciel en onbenullig

Hé!
Er is geen bal op de tv
Alleen 'n film met Doris Day
En wat dacht je van net twee
Ein Wiener operette
Nee!
Er zit een knop op je TV
Die helpt je zo uit de puree
Druk 'em in en ga maar mee
De bloemen buiten zetten
