Story Of My Love Composer(s): Conway Twitty - Jack Nance Performer(s): Conway Twitty
Darling we're not very old But there's a love story that has to be told By stars above I swear that it's true It's the story of my love for you (My love for you)
It starts when you came into my life You vowed someday you'd be my wife Sweetheart I thought the world of you You made my world of dreams come true (Of dreams come true)
The years may come and years may pass And I reach the end of life's journey at last Though time may change me in some ways it's true It could never change my love for you (Change my love for you)
Oh, when I'm gone bury me On the highest mountain of history Then all the world will hear me cry My love for you will never die (For you will never die)
Come Back
Composer(s): Seth Justman - Peter Wolf
Performer(s): The J. Geils Band
When you left me all alone
You left me cryin' on my own
Tell me, tell me, what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby
'Cause I'm still in love with you
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Here I'm standin' such a fool
It's not like you babe
Oh, don't be cruel
Help me, help me
'Cause you know I'm not that strong
Help me, help me darlin'
I've been lonely for too long
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back
Tell me, tell me, what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby
'Cause I'm still in love with you
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-please come back to me darlin'-aah
Come back (baby)

Rimbaud Chanterait Composer(s): Jean-Michel Rivat; Roland Vincent Performer(s): Michel Delpech
Il écrivait sur des morceaux d'azur Sur les étangs sur les forêts è è è Il écrivait sur le vent sur les murs Mais aujourd'hui il chanterait Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu Un soleil dans le cur un sanglot dans la voix Là devant la foule il chanterait Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait Et toute la foule sifflerait Mais Rimbaud chanterait Mais Rimbaud chanterait
Il t'a laissé des mots venus du cur Pour ne pas mourir tout à fait è è è Lui, l'homme fou, l'ami, le déserteur Aujourd'hui comme il chanterait Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu Un soleil dans le cur un sanglot dans la voix Là devant la foule il chanterait Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait Et toute la foule sifflerait Devant toi tu verrais Un bateau qui se noie Un bateau qui se noie Et Rimbaud chanterait Rimbaud chanterait le poing levé Rimbaud chanterait le cur serré Rimbaud chanterait la liberté Et l'amour et l'enfer et le fleuve et la mer Et devant la foule il chanterait Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait Et toute la foule sifflerait Mais Rimbaud chanterait Mais Rimbaud chanterait reprise ad lib
The story of my life is very plain to read it starts the day you came and ends the day you leave
The story of my life begins and ends with you the names are still the same and the story's still the truth
I was alone you found my waiting and made me your own I was afraid that somehow I never could be the man that you wanted of me
You're the story of my life and every word is true each chapter sings your name each page begins with you
It's the story of our times and never letting go and if I die today I wanted you to know
Stay with my here share with me care with me stay and be near and when it began I'd lie awake every night just knowing somewhere deep inside that our affair just might write
The story of my life it's so very plain to read it starts the day you came and ends the day you leave

We hear you're leaving, that's ok I thought our little wild time had just begun I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run But if you have a change of heart
Rikki, don't lose that number You don't wanna call nobody else Send it off in a letter to yourself Rikki, don't lose that number It's the only one you own You might use it if you feel better When you get home
I have a friend in town, he's heard your name We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row We could stay inside and play games, I don't know And you could have a change of heart
Rikki, don't lose that number You don't wanna call nobody else Send it off in a letter to yourself Rikki, don't lose that number It's the only one you own You might use it if you feel better When you get home
You tell yourself you're not my kind But you don't even know your mind And you could have a change of heart
Rikki, don't lose that number You don't wanna call nobody else Send it off in a letter to yourself Rikki, don't lose that number It's the only one you own You might use it if you feel better When you get home
Rikki, don't lose that number (Rikki, don't lose that number) Rikki, don't lose that number

The Story Of A Starry Night ((Adapted from: Symphony No.6 Pathetique (Tchaikovsky)) Composer(s): Tchaikovsky - Mann Curtis - Al Hoffman - Jerry Livingston Performer(s): Glenn Miller and multiple other artists
This is the storry of a starry night The faded glory of a new delight Long breathless meetings, two lips repeating Sweet precious words that were sweet, but fleeting

Right Said Fred Composer(s): Ted Dicks; Myles Rudge Performer(s): Bernard Cribbens; Maya Angelou
"Right" said Fred "Both of us together One each end and steady as we go"
Tried to shift it Couldn't even lift it We was gettin' nowhere, and so We 'ad a cup o' tea and
"Right" said Fred "Give a shout to Charlie" Up comes Charlie from the floor below
After strainin' Heavin' and complainin' We was gettin' nowhere, and so We 'ad a cup o' tea and
Charlie had a think and he thought we ought To take off all the 'andles And the things what 'eld the candles But it did no good Well I never thought it would
"Alright" said Fred "Have to take the feet off" To get them feet off wouldn't take a mo
Took its feet off Even took the seat off Should have got us somewhere, but no!
So Fred said "Let's 'ave another cup o' tea" And we said "Right-oh"
"Alright" said Fred "Have to take the door off Need more space to shift the so-and-so"
Had bad twinges Takin' off the 'inges And it got us nowhere, and so We 'ad a cup o' tea and
"Right" said Fred "Have to take the wall down That there wall is gonna have to go"
Took the wall down Even with it all down We was gettin' nowhere, and so We 'ad a cup o' tea and
Charlie had a think and he said "Look Fred I've got a sort of feelin' If we remove the ceilin' With a rope or two We could drop the blighter through"
"Alright" said Fred Climbin' up a ladder With his crowbar gave a mighty blow
Was he in trouble Half a ton of rubble Landed on the top of his dome!
So Charlie and me 'ad another cup o' tea And then we went 'ome
Spoken: I said to Charlie, we'll just have to leave it standin' on the landin', that's all. You see the trouble with Fred is, he's, he's too 'asty. Now you never get nowhere if you're too 'asty
The Story In Your Eyes Composer(s): Justin Hayward First release by: The Moody Blues - 1971
I've been thinking about our fortune And I've decided that we're really not to blame For the love that's deep in--side us now It's still the same
And the sound we make together Is the music to the story in your eyes It's been shining down upon us now I realize
Listen to the tide slowly turning Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning From the ashes we can build another day But I'm frightened for our children And the life that we are living is in vain And the sunshine we've been waiting for Will turn to rain
And when the final line is over And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall I can hide inside your sweet sweet love Forever more
Come And Go Blues Composer(s): Gregg Allman The Allman Brothers Band and various other artists
People say that you're no good But I wouldn't cut you loose, baby, if I could Well, I seem to stay down on the ground Baby, I'm too far gone to turn around Oh, if only you would make up your mind Take me where you go, you're leaving me behind Lord, you got those come and go blues Lord, you got those some and go blues Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool
'Round 'n' 'round, 'round we go Don't ask me why I stay here, I don't know Well maybe I'm a fool to care Without your sweet love, baby I would be nowhere Here I'll stay, locked in your web Till that day I might find somebody else I don't know just when that would be I don't know, I can't say as I can't see Lord you got me feeling like a fool
Sail on, darlin', sail on Woman, you go your way, and I'll go mine Seems to me, that I once heard That everything is finally cured by time So sail on, darlin', sail on Lord, I wish you good luck And I'll see you when you come next time
Woman, you got those come and go blues Yeah, you got those come and go blues Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin' like a fool
Right Place, Wrong Time Composer(s): Mac Rebennack Performer(s): Dr. John; and various other artists
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd of said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
And I'm wondering what it's good for
I been the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a place
But I'm having such a good time
I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time
Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity
I been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
But it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world
But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong
Slipping, dodging ,sneaking
Creeping hiding out down the street
See me life shaking with every who I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I'd a took the right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
Would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
And I wonder what it's bad for
The Story Book Ball Composer(s): Billie Montgomery - George Perry Performer(s): Billy Murray and multiple other artists
In Mother Goose's book up in the nurs'ry Poor Simple Simon said, "I'm feeling sad" Said Peter Piper's daughter, "So am I, and think we oughta Try to think of something that will make us glad" So Smarty Smarty said, "I'll give a party" And they called on the Old Woman in the Shoe The cat she brought her fiddle, and she played "high diddle diddle" And what happened then, I'm goin' to tell to you
Little Jackie Horner, eating pie up in the corner Stuck in his thumb, pulled out a plum Little Missy Muffet she was sitting on a tuffet And she said, "Yum, yum! Please give me some" Little Georgie Porgie with his pudding and pie Kissed Mary Quite Contrary till he made her cry And Little Bo Peep she lost her sheep And couldn't find 'em, their tails behind 'em
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater had a wife and couldn't keep her At the ball in the hall Humpty Dumpty met her, said, "Better that I get her And I'll make her fall" That's not all Old King Cole, that merry old soul He fell for Mother Hubbard, blew his big bankroll Buying lollipops and pretties for the kiddies At the Story Book Ball
They danced and sang till early in the morning They really didn't know just when to stop So as the day was dawning and the kiddies all were yawning They found out the mouse had run up in the clock Then Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick, he started And right over that big candlestick he flew Then Little Tommy Tucker started singing for his supper And then Poor Boy Blue said, "Gee, I'm hungry too"
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickling peppers Brought 'em to the hall, and that's no stall Tommy Tom the piper's son, he stole a pig and away he run To the ball. Ah, that's not all Polly put the kettle on, the tea got cold They had to eat the porridge that was nine days old Then Jack fell down, Jill broke her crown And spilled the water. She hadn't oughta
Four and twenty blackbirds were baking in a pie And they refused to sing anything Wasn't that an awful way for little birds to act Before a queen and king? Such a thing! Said the Knave and the King to the Queen of Hearts "Come on, hurry up, honey, bring some tarts" So she did and the kids had a picnic At the Story Book Ball
