Through Your Eyes Composer(s): Suzy Bogguss - Doug Crider Performer(s): Suzy Bogguss
I look out at the Winter sky, it's grey and overcast Another year has flown right by, these days they go so fast I look down at your tiny face and I see things your way You don't mind if it's too cold to go outside and play If it might snow on Christmas Day, then, through your eyes The World looks bright, all lit up with coloured lights When I think that I lost sight of it, I realise That through your eyes there's magic in a tree And in the smiles of family, and I wish The whole World could see Christmas through your eyes
So I get you all bundled up and brave the downtown shops Find along that time is short, the traffic never stops Your little hand pulls me through the crowded sidewalk maze To see the elves and reindeer and department store displays Well I see Christmas in your face and through your eyes The World looks bright, all lit up with coloured lights When I think that I lost sight of it, I realise That through your eyes there's magic in a tree And in the smiles of family, and I wish The whole World could see Christmas through your eyes
And through your eyes there's magic in a tree And in the smiles of family, and I wish The whole World could see Christmas through the eyes of a child I wish the whole World could see Christmas through your eyes
I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You Composer(s): Victor Young; Bing Crosby; Ned Washington First release/First performance by: Bing Crosby/Maurice Chevalier - 1933/1935 Covered by multiple other artists
I need your love so badly I love you oh so madly But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you I thought at last I found you But other loves surround you And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you If you'd surrender Just for a tender Kiss or two You might discover That I'm the lover Meant for you And I'd be true But what's the good of scheming I'm dreaming For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you Cuz I don't stand A ghost of a chance With you
Dear Susan, I know you love me so But I want to hear it in my ear You know I'd be there working at my craft Had it not been for the draft Dry up your tear and feel no fear You're here with me like I'm there with you
To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting
I'm writing a note beneath a tree The smell of the rain on the greenery Our fathers have painfully lost their way That's why, my love, I'm here today Hear me when I say there will come a day When Kings will know and love can grow
To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting
Susan, I know you love me so but I'd like to hear it in my ear You know I'd be there working at my craft Had it not been for the draft Dry up your tear and feel no fear You're here with me like I'm there with you
To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy supposedly hating To Susan on the West Coast waiting From Andy in Vietnam fighting
J'Entends Cette Musique Composer(s): Jacques Datin; Robert Gall Performer(s): France Gall

I Don't Remember Loving You Composer(s): Harlan Howard; Bobby Braddock Performer(s): John Conlee
I don't remember loving you And I don't recall the things You say you put me through You tell me that you've had A guilty conscience for so long You say that you walked out on me You say you did me wrong Well, I just don't see how that could be true 'Cause I don't remember loving you
I don't remember loving you You might talk to my doctor He drops by each day at two I get a funny feeling When I look into your eyes There's something in your smile That gives my stomach butterflies You must look like someone I once knew But I don't remember loving you
I don't remember loving you I heard you mention children Did you say there's one or two? You say I quit my job And then I drank myself insane You say that I ran down the highway Screaming out your name Well, that's not the sort of thing that I would do No, I don't remember loving you
I don't remember loving you I absolutely positively Know that can't be true But everyone I know here in this place Is really strange If you'll hand me my crayons I'll be glad to take your name In case I run across that guy you knew But I don't remember loving you
I don't remember loving you And I don't recall the things You say you put me through You tell me that you've had A guilty conscience for so long You say that you walked out on me You say you did me wrong Well, I just don't see how that could be true 'Cause I don't remember loving you
J'entends sa voix qui me dit: "T'en vas pas Si tu pars j'en mourrai, je ne puis vivre sans toi A notre amour crois-moi, je ne survivrai pas Ne brise pas ma vie, ne jette pas nos joies Dans la rue" J'entends encore son cri de désespoir Je vois ses mains tendues pour agripper l'espoir Cherchant à retenir et mon amour et ma voix Et je me vois partir pour oublier tout ça Dans la rue
Une fois dans la rue je reviens en courant Pour voir toute une foule qui fixe mon amant Debout sur sa fenêtre Je pourrais le sauver Mais la foule m'arrête M'empêchant de passer J'entends le coeur de la foule qui bat Et le vent qui s'arrête pour voir ce qu'il y a Et le bruit de la vie qui ce fout de tout ça Et là-haut mon amour prêt à se je ter en bas Dans la rue
J'entends des voix qui disent autour de moi C'est l'amour paraît-il qui le pousse a faire ça Paraît qu'elle est partie avec un autre gars Moi je reste sans geste au milieu de tout ça Dans la rue
Un prêtre est en prière, une femme est en pleurs les secondes sur terre ressemblent à des heures Puis un corps dans le vide Allez rentrez chez vous Partez, faites le vide Allez rentrez chez vous "T'en vas pas je ne puis vivre sans toi Je ne survivrai pas, je ne survivrai pas!"
To Sir With Love Composer(s): Mark London - Don Black First release by: Lulu - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
Those schoolgirl days Of telling tales, and biting nails, are gone But in my mind I know they will, will still live on and on
But how do you thank someone Who has taken you from crayons to perfume? It isn't easy, but I'll try If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters That would soar a thousand feet high "To Sir, With Love"
The time has come For closing books; and long last looks must end And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong And weak from strong -- that's a lot to learn What? What can I give you in return? If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start... but I Would rather you let me give my heart To Sir, With Love

I don't need your rockin' chair Your Geritol or Medicare I still got neon in my veins This gray hair don't mean a thing I do my rockin' on the stage You can't put this possum in a cage My body's old but it ain't impaired I don't need your rockin' chair
Retirement don't fit my plan You can take your seat, I'm gonna stand An Eskimo needs a frigidair But I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't need your rockin' chair Your Geritol or Medicare I still got neon in my veins This gray hair don't mean a thing I do my rockin' on the stage You can't put this possum in a cage My body's old but it ain't impaired I don't need your rockin' chair
My body's old but it ain't impaired Yeah I don't need no rockin' chair

The Horse Told Me Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James Van Heusen Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Nat King Cole
In the big Handicap there's a positive snap Go bet on a horse called 'The Sheik' He'll walk off with the crown if he doesn't fall down And, my boy, that's what happened last week
Oh, the Owner told Clarence the clocker The clocker told jockey McGee The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse And the horse told me
Tell the age of the beast by his teeth, and at least His teeth in the paddock looked great But this toothy old red had to sneeze in the stretch And he won by the loss of a plate
Oh, the Owner told Clarencee the clocker The clocker told jockey McGee The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse And the horse told me
I once bet on a steed of phenominal speed Boy, she was fast as Aunt Nell But the judges they cried, "This one's disqualified! There's a jet engine under her tail"
Oh, the Owner told Clarence the clocker The clocker told jockey McGee The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse And the horse told me
Tomorrow I'll bet just for kicks that I'll get What's gold is just ol' yeller lead I can lose with a grin, if the horse don't come in I'll just blow a big hole in my head
Oh, the Owner told Clarence the clocker The clocker told jockey McGee The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse And the horse told me
I had put down a deuce on a tip that got loose This horse in the paddock looked stunning I had overheard talk he could win in a walk And he could, but the others were runnin'
Oh, the Owner told Clarence the clocker The clocker told jockey McGee The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse And the horse told me

Long Live The Ladies Composer(s): Joe Young - E. Ray Goetz - Geo. W. Meyer
Oh, bring on the ladies "Hurry up," said Willie Snow Go, bring on the ladies For the party's getting slow They soon brought up a few One maid with eyes of blue Was acting cute and cunning Young Willie started humming
From the day of dimples, till the wrinkles trace your smile Mothers, wives and sweethearts Are what make your life worthwhile If it was not for one You wouldn't be here, son So bear in mind you've got to Live your life on this motto
Long live the ladies May they all live long for me Long live the ladies They're as sweet as they can be Oh, how I love to mix With a perfect thirty six If you think the girls are harmful I'd like to be the pap of an armful Long live the tall ones They can never grow too tall Long live the small ones They don't have to grow at all They're life's necessity Like a lump of sugar in a cup of tea Long live the ladies The beautiful ladies for me
