I Don't Want To Spoil The Party Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney First recording/First release by: The Beatles - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go I would hate my disappointment to show There's nothing for me here So I will disappear If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know
I've had a drink or two and I don't care There's no fun in what I do if she's not there I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long I think I'll take a walk and look for her
Though tonight she's made me sad I still love her If I find her I'll be glad I still love her
I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go I would hate my disappointment to show There's nothing for me here So I will disappear If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know
Though tonight she's made me sad I still love her If I find her I'll be glad I still love her
I've had a drink or two and I don't care There's no fun in what I do if she's not there I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long I think I'll take a walk and look for her
Jesus He Knows Me Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins; Mike Rutherford Performer(s): Genesis; Brotherhood Of St. Gregory; Spectrum
You see the face on the TV screen Coming at you every Sunday See that face on the billboard That man is me
On the cover of the magazine There's no question why I'm smiling You buy a piece of paradise You buy a piece of me
I'll get you everything you wanted I'll get you everything you need Don't need to believe in hereafter Just believe in me
'Cos Jesus he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes he knows me And he knows I'm right And he's been telling me Everything is alright
I believe in the family With my ever loving wife beside me But she don't know about my girlfriend Or the man I met last night
Do you believe in God 'Cos that's what I'm selling And if you wanna get to heaven I'll see you right
You won't even have to leave your house Or get outta your chair You don't even have to touch that dial 'Cos I'm everywhere
And Jesus he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes he knows me And he knows I'm right Well he's been telling me Everything's gonna be alright
Won't find me practising what I'm preaching Won't find me making no sacrifice But I can get you a pocketful of miracles If you promise to be good, try to be nice God will take good care of you Just do as I say, don't do as I do
I'm counting my blessings, I've found true happiness 'Cos I'm getting richer, day by day You can find me in the phone book, Just call my toll free number You can do it anyway you want Just do it right away
There'll be no doubt in your mind You'll believe everything I'm saying If you wanna get closer to him Get on your knees and start praying
'Cos Jesus he knows me And he knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes he knows me And he knows I'm right Well he's been telling me Everything's gonna be alright, alright
Today I killed a man I didn't know I held my rifle high and shot him low I'd like to think he really was to blame Well I never knew or never will his name
I guess that someone, somewhere knew him well And they'll cry when they're told that he has fell But it's hard for me to think of him as good 'Cause he'd done me just the same if he could
Oh mother, oh mama, I'm so cold And I feel like I am quickly growing old So I hope you are thinking of your son 'Cause tomorrow morning I'll be twenty-one
Oh Johnny Ray, Johnny Ray, oh, he don't worry now He don't wonder how
Today my sergeant told me I've done well That I'd sent another Southern boy to hell But I can't help wondering about the lost of life And if that rebel soldier had a wife
Oh mama, oh mam, I'm so cold And the good book doesn't help me like you told 'Cause it don't tell me if I'm right or wrong Or when this war will end, just how long
Oh mama, oh mama, I'm so cold And I feel I am quickly growing old So I hope that you are thinking of your son 'Cause tomorrow morning I'll be twenty-one
I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire Composer(s): Eddie Seiler; Sol Marcus; Bennie Benjamin; Eddie Durham First release by: Harlan Leonard and His Rockets - 1940 Covered by multiple other artists
I don't ever care to rise to power I would rather be with you an hour For the things that one can buy Are not worth a lover's sigh
I don't want to set the world on fire I just want to start a flame in your heart In my heart I have but one desire And that one is you, no other will do
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim I just want to be the one you love And with your admission that you feel the same I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of, believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire I just want to start a flame in your heart
Superstar Composer(s): Bonnie Bramlett - Leon Russell Performer(s): The Carpenters and multiple other artists
Long ago, and, oh, so far away I fell in love with you before the second show Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear but you're not really here It's just the radio
Don't you remember you told me you love me baby? You said you'd be coming back this way again baby Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby I love you, I really do
Loneliness is such a sad affair, and I can hardly wait to be with you again What to say, to make you come again? Come back to me again, and play your sad guitar
Today Composer(s): Randy Sparks Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels and multiple other artists
Today while the blossom still clings to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today
I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover You'll know who I am by the song that I sing I'll feast at your table, I'll lie in your clover I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today while the blossom still clings to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today
I can't be contented with yesterday's glories I can't live on promises winter to spring This is my moment and now is my story Who cares what tomorrow will bring
Today while the blossom still clings to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joys that are mine today
Jesus Christ is ris'n today Alleluia! Our triumphant holy day Alleluia! Who died once upon the Cross Alleluia! Suffer'd to redeem our loss Alleluia!
Hymns of praise then let us sing Alleluia! Unto Christ, our heav'nly King Alleluia! Who endured the Cross and grave Alleluia! Sinners to redeem and save Alleluia
Today Composer(s): Marty Balin - Paul Kantner First release by: Jefferson Airplane - 1967
Today I feel like pleasing you more than before Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for To be living for you is all I want to do To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same To be anymore than all I am would be a lie I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true Today I realize how much I'm in love with you With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enought Please, please listen to me It's taken so long to come true And it's all for you all for you...
Todas las chicas me gustan No encuentro ninguna fea Aunque mis ojos las vean Mi corazón hace pom, pom, pom, pom Todas las chicas me gustan Por una cosa o por veinte Cuando mi amor las presiente Mi corazón hace pom, pom, pom, pom Marisa, tu risa Consuelo, tu pelo Milagros, tus labios Leonor, tu amor Todas las chicas me gustan Pero tu más que ninguna Cuando a la luz de la luna Hablamos de amor tú y yo
I Don't Wanna Play House Composer(s): Billy Sherrill; Glenn Sutton Performer(s): Tammy Wynette and multiple other artists
Today I sat alone at the window And I watched our little girl outside at play With the little boy next door like so many times before But something didn't seem quite right today
So I went outside to see what they were doing And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim 'Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame When I heard our little girl say to him
I Don't Want to Play House I know it can't be fun I've watched mommy and daddy And if that's the way it's done I Don't Want to Play House It makes my mommy cry 'Cause when she played house My daddy said goodbye
I Don't Want to Play House I know it can't be fun I've watched mommy and daddy And if that's the way it's done I Don't Want to Play House It makes my mommy cry 'Cause when she played house My daddy said goodbye
Smile And Show Your Dimple ((aka Easter Parade (Marilyn Miller and Clifton Webb - 1933/Leo Reisman and His Orch. - 1933)) Composer(s): Irving Berlin First release by: Samuel Ash - 1918 Covered by multiple other artists
Little girlie, you look sad I'm afraid you're feeling bad Because he's leaving But stop your grieving, little girl He don't want you to feel blue For it's not the thing to do It will soon be over Then he'll come marching back to you
Smile and show your dimple You'll find it's very simple You can think of something comical In a very little while Chase away the wrinkle Sprinkle just a twinkle Light your face up Just brace up and smile
Little girlie, don't you know That your pearly teeth will show If you start smiling So keep on smiling, little girl You can cut your cares in half If you only try to laugh Look into my cam'ra I'm goin' to take your photograph
I Don't Want To Play Composer(s): Ellen McIlWaine Performer(s): Ellen McIlWaine
Now all I want is a real live human being Who knows he's a man and doesn't have to hesitate Got no reason to try to make me feel second rate He don't have to be good looking or smart And just has to have a good kind honest heart You know I haven't seen too much of that of late
I don't want to play I'm gonna take my toys and go away I don't want to play I'm gonna take my house and move away
Now Madison avenue puts in a word or two And tells you to go on out and pick up yourself a few Could be the dog or the neighborhood ding-a-ling Well you take them all home and try 'em all on for size Even put peanut butter into they're eyes And wiggle and giggle every possible thing
I don't want to play I'm gonna take my toys and go away I don't want to play I'm gonna take my house and move away
Now whatever happened to good old fashion Love and romance and two by two fashion You know I haven't seen too much of that of late But all I need is a real live human being Knows he's a man and doesn't have to hesitate Got no reason to try to make me feel second rate
I don't want to play I'm gonna take my toys and go away I don't want to play I'm gonna take my house and move away
I don't want to play I'm gonna take my toys and go away I don't want to play I'm gonna take my house and move away
Oh, kleine Jessi Jessi Jessi Jessica Waar is je pa
Met haar bloemen staat zij op 't plein Geen boeketje kan mooier zijn Alle jongens kennen haar naam De mooiste roos van het bloemenkraam
Het zonneschijntje van 't hele pleintje De mooiste bloem is voor geen geld te koop Tussen de rozen staat zij te blozen Zij geeft geen jawoord en ze geeft geen hoop
Bij de margrietjes, vergeet-me-nietjes Staat er een bloem die nooit verwelken kan Wij mogen smeken, haar ogen spreken Zij brengt alleen haar bloemen aan de man
Oh, kleine Jessi Jessi Jessi Jessica Waar is je pa
Rode rozen staan om haar heen Rode lippen die zeggen 'neen' Alle dagen vragen we 't weer Wij kopen bloemen altijd maar weer
Het zonneschijntje van 't hele pleintje De mooiste bloem is voor geen geld te koop Tussen de rozen staat zij te blozen Zij geeft geen jawoord en ze geeft geen hoop
Bij de margrietjes, vergeet-me-nietjes Staat er een bloem die nooit verwelken kan Wij mogen smeken, haar ogen spreken Zij brengt alleen haar bloemen aan de man
Het zonneschijntje van 't hele pleintje De mooiste bloem is voor geen geld te koop Tussen de rozen staat zij te blozen Zij geeft geen jawoord en ze geeft geen hoop
Bij de margrietjes, vergeet-me-nietjes Staat er een bloem die nooit verwelken kan
Toco Madera Composer(s): Roberto Livi - Alberto Campoy First release by: Raphael - 1988 Covered by multiple other artists
Han venido a contarme Que has vuelto a aparecer Y quieres verme Que estás arrepentida Y has cambiado de vida Que por pensar en mí casi ni duermes Pero ya no te creo Ese mismo bolero Lo escuché tantas veces Y cuando dije sí Después me arrepentí Y lo pagué con creces Toco madera No vuelvo junto a ti por más que quieras Porque el quererte Te juro que me ha dado mala suerte Toco madera No quiero tu cariño aunque me muera Y por mi parte Me vale más perderte que encontrarte No insistas no me engañas El zorro pierde el pelo Nunca las mañas No digas que has cambiado Que te has encaminado Porque lo sé muy bien son artimañas Pero ya no te creo Ese mismo bolero Lo escuché tantas veces Y cuando dije sí Después me arrepentí Y lo pagué con creces
I Don't Want To Make History (I Just Want To Make Love)
I Don't Want To Make History (I Just Want To Make Love) Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin Performer(s): Frances Langford and multiple other artists
Columbus took a chance And I would take a chance As long as there's a moon up above But I don't want to make history I just want to make love
Napoleon took a chance But when I think of France It's Josephine that I'm thinking of Cause I don't want to make history I just want to make love
We all can't be heroes We all can't be great Right now I'll settle for a love affair And the dickens with affairs of state
I hear a call to arms But sentimental arms My banner is the moon up above For I don't want to make history I just want to make love
