    The River Of Dreams
    Composer(s): Billy Joel
    Performer(s): Billy Joel



    In the middle of the night
    I go walking in my sleep
    From the mountains of faith
    To a river so deep
    I must be looking for something
    Something sacred I lost
    But the river is wide
    And its too hard to cross

    And even though I know the river is wide
    I walk down in the evening and I stand on the shore
    And try to cross to the opposite side
    So I can finally find out what I've been looking for

    In the middle of the night
    I go walking in my sleep
    Through the valley of fear
    To a river so deep
    And I've been searching for something
    Taken out of my soul
    Something I would never lose
    Something somebody stole

    I don't know why I go walking at night
    But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
    I hope it doesnt take the rest of my life
    Until I find what it is that I've been looking for

    In the middle of the night
    I go walking in my sleep
    Through the jungle of doubt
    To a river so deep
    I know I'm searching for something
    Smething so undefined
    That it can only be seen
    By the eyes of the blind
    In the middle of the night

    I'm not sure about a life after this
    God knows I've never been a spiritual man
    Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
    That runs to the promised land

    In the middle of the night
    I go walking in my sleep
    Through the desert of truth
    To the river so deep
    We all end in the ocean
    We all start in the streams
    We're all carried along
    By the river of dreams
    In the middle of the night

    Cleo Composer(s): Lee S. Roberts - J. Will Callahan



    Pale moonlight!
    A wondrous night!
    My fancy takes its flight to Rainbow Isle
    Swaying trees a truant breeze
    All bring you to me just for a while

    Some June night love's magic light
    May guide your boat a right to Rainbow Isle
    O'er the sea of memory
    Some time, in the golden
    After while

    Cleo, I see only you
    And the dream makes me lonesome and blue
    Brings back that moment divine
    When I fancied your heart answered mine
    Cleo, 'twill be only you
    And I'd give all this world if you knew
    Just how I'm yearning, and wait for your returning
    Come back to me
    My Cleo, do!

    Performer(s): Dalida



    Reste encore avec moi le temps de te dire un dernier je t'aime
    Après tu partiras mais tu te souviendras
    De nos anciennes joies quoi qu'il advienne

    Reste encore avec moi le temps de pleurer mes dernières larmes
    Après je sourirai, après je le promets
    Je ne t'ennuierai plus jamais

    Je voudrai tant que tu gardes en toi
    Le souvenir de l'amour qui meurt
    Je voudrai tant que viennent parfois
    Danser mon ombre dans l'ombre de ton bonheur

    Reste encore avec moi le temps de te dire un dernier je t'aime
    Elles ont pour moi tant de prix les secondes
    Où finit ma vie ou dans mon cœur tout s'effondre

    Reste encore avec moi le temps de te dire un dernier je t'aime
    Tu l'emporteras dans ton cœur dans tes rêves
    Ce mot de bonheur qui vient mourir sur mes lèvres

    Tu le sais ton départ c'est la fin de ce monde
    De ce monde
    Pour moi

    The River Is Wide
    Composer(s): Nick Reynolds
    Performer(s): The Kingston Trio



    The river is wide, I cannot see
    Nor do I have light wings to fly
    There'll be a boat that can carry two
    And both shall row, my love and I

    My love is like the lofty tree
    It shudders fears and then sways free
    If it should fade when the summer's through
    She'll bloom again when Spring shines through

    When love is young, then love is fine
    Just like a gem when first it's new
    But love grows old and waxes cold
    And fades away like the morning dew

    The river is wide, I cannot see
    Nor do I have light wings to fly
    There'll be a boat that can carry two
    And both shall row, my love and I

    Clémentine Composer(s): Jean Rougeul - Christiane Verger Performer(s): Yves Montand



    Sous un léger corsage qui fait des plis
    Deux petits seins bien sages
    Comme c'est joli
    J'allais vers la colline
    Sous un grand ciel tout bleu
    Et je voyais briller les yeux
    De Clémentine, de Clémentine

    Elle descendait sur le chemin
    Disait bonjour avec sa main
    J'avais seize ans comme elle
    Je la trouvais si belle
    Que je n'osais pas lui parler
    Et sur le bord de la rivière
    Je la regardais s'en aller
    Ses cheveux blonds comme une crinière
    Et son jupon flottant si haut
    Qu' on voyait ses jarretières
    Elle a trébuché sur une pierre
    Elle est tombée dans l'eau

    Sous un léger corsage qui fait des plis
    Deux petits seins bien sages
    Comme c'est joli
    J'allais vers la colline
    Sous un grand ciel tout bleu
    Et je voyais briller les yeux
    De Clémentine, de Clémentine

    Quand je l'ai vue tomber dans l'eau
    Moi j'ai couru dans les roseaux
    J'avais seize ans comme elle
    Je ta trouvais si belle
    Que j'ai plongé pour la sauver
    Mais j'ai coulé dans la rivière
    Car je ne savais pas nager
    C'est elle qui m'a ramené à terre
    Toute mouillée contre mon corps
    Sa poitrine était douce
    Nous étions couchés sur la mousse
    Elle m' a serré très fort

    Un peu beaucoup et même
    À la folie
    La première fois qu'on aime
    Comme c'est joli
    Les amours enfantines
    Quels secrets merveilleux
    Je vois toujours briller les yeux
    De Clémentine, de Clémentine

    On s'était quittés tous les deux
    Et, brusquement, là, c'est curieux
    On se retrouve face à face
    On croyait ne plus se revoir
    Puisqu'après une scène, un soir
    Je t'ai dit: "Pars! Que tout s'efface!"
    Maintenant que tout est bien fini
    Et que nos cœurs se sont repris
    Ne pensons plus qu'aux jolis gestes
    Causons en amis, simplement
    Non! Ne pars pas! Rien qu'un moment...
    Allons, voyons, je t'en prie...
    Reste...

    Reste, que nous parlions un peu
    Du temps où nous étions heureux
    Car nous le fûmes, j'imagine
    En cet instant mon cœur ému
    Vraiment, ne se rappelle plus...
    Que de nos minutes divines
    Le mal que nous nous sommes fait
    Petit à petit, disparaît
    Lorsque j'évoque tout le reste
    Ta main frémit entre mes doigts...
    Tu te rappelles... alors pourquoi
    Vouloir t'en aller déjà?
    Reste...

    Reste! A moins qu'au fond de ton cœur
    Plus rien existe, j'en ai peur
    Ta vie serait-elle à une autre?
    ...Oui? Alors, tu ne me m'aimes plus!
    Un nouvel amour est venu
    Remplacer la trace du nôtre
    Ah! Tu vas la retrouver ce soir...
    Aussi, quel désir, quel espoir
    En toi soudain se manifestent
    Oh non! Pas encore! Je ne veux pas!...
    Tu n'iras pas entre ses bras!
    Tu n'iras pas, entends-tu?
    Reste!

    Reste! Oh pardon!... Je souffre trop!
    Je suis là et je dis des mots
    Qui te laissent voir ma détresse...
    Sans toi, chaque nuit je pleurais
    Et, te retrouvant, j'espérais
    Au moins un élan de tendresse...
    Mais quoi? Des larmes dans tes yeux?
    Est-ce un remords, est-ce un adieu?
    Vois, je n'ai plus qu'un dernier geste
    Et c'est de t'offrir mon pauvre cœur
    Où survit tout notre bonheur...
    Oh! Chéri!... Tu restes!... Tu restes...

    The River Is Wide
    Composer(s): Baker Knight - Billy Admire
    Performer(s): The Grassroots; Forum



    The sky was clear on that windy day
    'Til the clear blue sky began to turn to gray
    The lightning flashed, the thunder roared above
    Then fell a drop of rain to start our love

    Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
    The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
    So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me...

    Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain
    Wth the rhythm of our heartbeats down it came
    As it hit each rock our hearts could feel the pain
    No one on earth can stop a drop of rain

    And the river get wide, the river gets long, now
    The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
    So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me...

    Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
    The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
    So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me, yea

    Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now
    The water runs deep as our love gets strong now
    So baby don't you fight and say you belong now to me

    Let the river get wide, the river gets long, now

    Clementine
    Composer(s): Woody Harris
    Performer(s): Bobby Darin



    In a cavern down by a canyon
    Excavatin' for a mine
    There lived a miner from North Carolina
    And his daughter, chubby Clementine

    Now every mornin', just about dawnin'
    A'when the sun begins to shine
    You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up
    And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine

    A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
    Though she weighed two-ninety nine
    The old bridge trembled and disassembled
    (Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine

    Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under
    (ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line
    Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
    I might'a saved that Clementine

    (Ho) broke the record, way under water
    I thought that she was doin' fine.
    I wasn't nervous ya until the service
    That they held for Clementine

    Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler
    With a harpoon, your trusty line
    If she shows now, yo, there she blows now
    It just may be chunky Clementine

    (One more time)
    Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin'
    Oh my darlin', oh my darlin' sweet Clementine
    You may be gone
    But!
    You're not forgotten
    Fare thee well
    So long, Clementine
    (Bubble sound) Bye!

    The River
    Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
    Performer(s): Bruce Springsteen



    I come from down in the valley
    Where mister, when you're young
    They bring you up to do like your daddy done
    Me and Mary we met in high school
    When she was just seventeen
    We'd drive out of this valley down to where the fields were green

    We'd go down to the river
    And into the river we'd dive
    Oh down to the river we'd ride

    Then I got Mary pregnant
    And, man, that was all she wrote
    And for my 19th birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
    We went down to the courthouse
    And the judge put it all to rest
    No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
    No flowers, no wedding dress

    That night we went down to the river
    And into the river we'd dive
    Oh down to the river we did ride

    I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
    But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
    Now all them things that seemed so important
    Well mister they vanished right into the air
    Now I just act like I don't remember
    Mary acts like she don't care

    But I remember us riding in my brother's car
    Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
    At night on them banks I'd lie awake
    And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
    Now those memories come back to haunt me
    They haunt me like a curse
    Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
    Or is it something worse,
    that sends me
    Down to the river
    though I know the river is dry
    That sends me down to the river tonight
    Down to the river
    My baby and I
    Oh down to the river we ride

    I wanna go ahead until I just run out of gas
    We gotta beat the road with four-wheel thunder
    There's a Cadillac dealer in Kansas City counting money
    And the highway patrol ain't going nowhere

    Don't say no, don't say no, don't make me grieve
    Don't say no, don't say no, you gotta feel the breeze

    On a clear night yeah, moonlight yeah
    You and me and the car
    Under a thousands stars
    Clear night yeah, moonlight yeah

    So, don't you go turnin' my dream into a nightmare

    Come on honey, let's ride right out of here
    Imagine you and I, leavin' it all behind
    Find another world, beyond the turnpike
    There'll be lots of people uptight
    Maybe some FBI, and your daddy screamin' bloody murder

    Don't say no, don't say no, don't make me grieve
    Don't say no, don't say no, you gotta feel the breeze

    The Ring Fell Under The Sofa
    Composer(s): Barnett - Fain
    Performer(s): Billy Cotton



    We would have been married for twenty two years
    But the ring fell under the sofa
    With her finger held high, I proposed with a sigh
    But then nervously I missed the mark

    We have our own house now all paid up in full
    But the ring fell under the sofa
    I’d have found it no doubt, but the lights were all out
    And I can’t get about in the dark

    A parlour search is now our game
    The chairs are like new, no one’s sat in ‘em (sat in ‘em)
    But when we’re through it’s always the same
    No, no, no, no, no platinum

    I lost the deposit but what do I care
    We’re the best of sweethearts today
    Yes the ring fell under the sofa
    But maybe it’s better that way

    That is the tale of a fellow
    Who’d like to unburden his mind
    Never was romance so hampered
    By fate so severe and unkind
    His story has yet to end
    So pay strict attention, my friend

    I fully intended to make her my wife
    But the ring fell under the sofa
    She’d have stood by my side, such a beautiful bride
    While the clergyman tied up the knot (tied the knot)

    By now I’d be hen-pecked and love might have died
    But the ring fell under the sofa
    And I’m happy to say when I found it next day
    I just hid it away on the spot

    A parlour search is now our game
    The chairs are like new, no one’s sat in ‘em
    But when we’re through it’s always the same
    No, no, no, no, no platinum

    We might have been married for better or worse
    But I’m still a bachelor gay
    For the ring fell under the sofa
    And I like it better, and I like it better
    Yes I like it better that way

    Maybe you don't know me anymore then I know you
    And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
    I been watchin' you all evenin' with the teardrops in your eyes
    And it touches me much more than I can say
    You know I'd hate to think that someone
    could have hurt someone like you
    And at times like this, I'd be right by your side

    Lay your troubles on my shoulders
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile
    Lay your troubles on my shoulder
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile

    Saw you in the corner on the moment I walked in
    Saw your lonely face across the room
    No, I won't forget it
    And the way it might have been
    Why did you have to leave so soon
    You know I'd hate to think that someone
    could have loved you more than me
    And if I was them, I'd be right by your side

    Lay your troubles on my shoulders
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile
    Lay your troubles on my shoulders
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile

    How long must I wait for the last train to leave here
    And the last chance to know
    Get to think that I was born too soon
    How long honey, when the lovin' don't come
    I was there when you left me
    Just didn't know how to begin

    Lay your troubles on my shoulders
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile
    Lay your troubles on my shoulders
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile

    Lay your troubles on my shoulders
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile
    Lay your troubles on my shoulders
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile

    Lay your troubles on my shoulders
    Put your worries in my pocket
    Rest your love on me awhile

    Them There Eyes
    Composer(s): Maceo Pinkard - William Tracey - Doris Tauber
    First release by: Gus Arnheim and His Coconut Grove Orch. - 1930
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I fell in love with you first time I looked into
    Them there eyes
    You've got a certain lil' cute way of flirting with
    Them there eyes
    They make me feel happy
    They make me feel blue
    No stalling
    I'm falling
    Going in a big way for sweet little you
    My heart is jumping
    Sure started something with
    Them there eyes
    You'd better watch them if you're wise
    They sparkle
    They bubble
    They're gonna get you in a whole lot of trouble
    You're overworking them
    There's danger lurking in
    Them there eyes
    Maybe you think I'm just flirting
    Maybe you think I'm all lies
    Just because I get romantic when I gaze in
    Them there eyes

    Rigs Of The Time
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Maddy Prior
    and multiple other artists



    O, 'tis of an old butcher, I must bring him in
    He charge two shillings a pound, and thinks it no sin
    Slaps his thumb on the scale-weights and makes them go down
    He swears it's good weight yet it wants half a pound
    Singing...

    Honesty's all out of fashion
    These are the rigs of the time
    Time, my boys
    These are the rigs of the time

    Now the next is a baker, I must bring him in
    He charge fourpence a loaf and thinks it no sin
    When he do bring it in, is not bigger than your fist
    And the top of the loaf is popped off with the ye'st
    Singing...

    Honesty's all out of fashion
    These are the rigs of the time
    Time, my boys
    These are the rigs of the time

    No wonder the butter be a shilling a pound
    See the little farmer's daughters, how they ride up and down
    If you ask them the reason, they'll say: "Bone', alas
    There's a French war and the cows have no grass
    Singing...

    Honesty's all out of fashion
    These are the rigs of the time
    Time, my boys
    These are the rigs of the time

    O the next is a publican, I must bring him in
    He charge fourpence a quart, he thinks it no sin
    When he do bring it in, the measure is short
    The top of the pot is popped off with the froth
    Singing...

    Honesty's all out of fashion
    These are the rigs of the time
    Time, my boys
    These are the rigs of the time

    Here's next to the tailor who skimps with our clothes
    And next the shoemaker who pinches our toes
    We've nought in our bellies, our bodies are bare
    No wonder we've reason to curse and to swear
    Singing...

    Honesty's all out of fashion
    These are the rigs of the time
    Time, my boys
    These are the rigs of the time

    Now the very best plan that I can find
    Is to pop them all off in a high gale of wynd
    And when they get up, the cloud it will bu'st
    And the biggest old rascal come tumbling down first
    Singing...

    Honesty's all out of fashion
    These are the rigs of the time
    Time, my boys
    These are the rigs of the time

    Cleaning Windows Composer(s): Van Morrison First release by: Van Morrison - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists



    Oh, the smell of the bakery from across the street
    Got in my nose
    As we carried our ladders down the street
    With the wrought-iron rows
    I went home and listened to Jimmy Rodgers in my lunch-break
    Bought five Woodbines at the shop on the corner
    And went straight back to work

    Oh, Sam was up on top
    And I was on the bottom with the v
    We went for lemonade and Paris buns
    At the shop and broke for tea
    I collected from the lady
    And I cleaned the fanlight inside-out
    I was blowing saxophone on the weekend
    In that down joint.

    What's my line?
    I'm happy cleaning windows
    Take my time
    I'll see you when my love grows
    Baby don't let it slide
    I'm a working man in my prime
    Cleaning windows (number thirty-six)

    I heard Leadbelly and Blind Lemon
    On the street where I was born
    Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee
    Muddy Waters sing "I'm a Rolling Stone"
    I went home and read my Christmas Humphreys' book on Zen
    Curiosity killed the cat
    Kerouac's "Dharma Bums" and "On The Road"

    What's my line?
    I'm happy cleaning windows
    Take my time
    I'll see you when my love grows
    Baby don't let it slide
    I'm a working man in my prime
    Cleaning windows ...

    Responsibility
    Composer(s): Steve Forbert
    Performer(s): Steve Forbert



    Poor ole surrender Mimosa
    Fin'ly burnt out by the sun
    I feel pretty burnt out myself
    When the long, hot summer is done
    Summertime's long been my fav'rite
    Now I can't grab it no more
    Can't find no time for a fish on the line
    Or that swing in the old Sycamore
    I'm in such a hurry now
    It starts to worry me
    Stop an' smell the roses?
    Baby I can't hardly see
    No, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be
    But I've got so much responsibility
    Baby, you know how I'm working
    Sorry I'm busy so much
    Sorry those days when the world went our way
    Are so hard to return to an'touch
    Maybe our future looks brighter
    Maybe our ship will come in
    Maybe these years an'these muletrain careers
    Will be things we wont think about then
    But I'm in such a hurry now
    It starts to worry me
    Stop an' smell the roses?
    Baby I can't hardly see
    No, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be
    But I've got so much responsibility
    Competition's heavy on a hard line wreckin'crew
    The good ones never leave an'still
    There's always some one new
    Pressure comes down hard up on a top notch rivet team
    We don't get time to pace ourselves
    We don't stand around and dream
    Poor ole surrender Mimosa
    Fin'ly burnt out by the heat
    I feel pretty burnt out myself
    When I make that ole turn down our street
    Summertime's long been my fav'rite
    Now it's ole autumn I love
    Summertime fun on some beach in the sun
    Is not somethin' I'm seein' much of
    I'm in such a hurry now
    It starts to worry me
    Stop an' smell the roses?
    Baby I can't hardly see
    No, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be
    But I've got so much responsibility

    The Right To Rock
    Composer(s): Howard Keel
    Performer(s): Howard Keel



    All my life I've been fighting
    For the right to make my stand
    Scream my anthem to the night
    And hold the power in my hand
    I'm gonna do it my way
    Or not do it at all
    Taking the world on my terms
    I'll take it by the balls
    I'm fighting for justice
    For the american way
    I believe in what I do
    And I mean what I say
    You got it - The right to rock
    We've got it - The right to rock
    Don't let anyone tell you
    How to live your life
    We won't turn it off
    We'll never turn it down
    'Cause it's our way of life
    I'm fighting for freedom
    For the golden rule
    The right to say what I feel
    And the right to say it to you
