Marina Del Rey
Composer(s): Dean Dillon - Frank Dycus
Performer(s): George Strait; Kyle Newmaster; Pickin' On



We said goodbye in Marina del Rey
"I had a good time" was the last thing I heard her say
As I walked away
And on the plane back to Tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday in Marina del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways in Marina del Rey

Like the ocean tides, highs and lows
Love sometimes comes and goes away
In Marina del Rey
And as this plane is touching down
Tears touch my eyes for I have found
My heart has stayed in Marina del Rey

On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways in Marina del Rey

We said goodbye in Marina del Rey...

Yesterdays
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Otto Harbach
Performer(s): Adele Leigh;
and various other artists



Yesterdays, Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy
Sweet sequester days
Olden days, golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth, was mine
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I’m dreaming of Yesterdays

(Musical Break)

Olden days, golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth, was mine
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I’m dreaming of Yesterdays

If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home)
Composer(s): Blake Mevis - David Wills
Performer(s): George Strait



Lately you've been showing all the signs
Of a woman with someone else on her mind
It's not your fault
It's the nights I've left you alone
And if you're thinking
You want a stranger
There's one coming home

If you're thinking
You want a stranger
I'll soon be there
You're gonna see
A change in me
This time I swear
No more late nights
Coming in at daylight
And no more doing you wrong
'Cause if you're thinking
You want a stranger
There's one coming home

Bought you a silk gown
And perfume today
Picked up some roses
And champagne on the way
Ohh I called and asked you to put
Some soft music on
'Cause if you're thinking
You want a stranger
There's one coming home

If you're thinking
You want a stranger
I'll soon be there
You're gonna see
A change in me
This time I swear
No more late nights
Coming in at daylight
And no more doing you wrong
'Cause if you're thinking
You want a stranger
There's one coming home

'Cause if you're thinking
You want a stranger

Yesterday when I was young 
the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned 
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day 
and only now I see how the years ran away

Yesterday when I was young 
so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me 
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about 
and every conversation I can now recall 
concerned itself with me and nothing else at all 

Yesterday the moon was blue 
and every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand 
and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride 
and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away 
and only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue 
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young

Strange Fruit
Composer(s): Lewis Allan
First release by: Billie Holiday - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists



Southern trees bear strange fruit 
Blood on the leaves 
Blood at the root 
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze 
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees 
Pastoral scene of the gallant south 
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth 
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh 
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh 
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck 
for the rain to gather 
for the wind to suck 
for the sun to rot 
for the tree to drop 
Here is a strange and bitter crop 

Yesterday Once More
((French Version: Sha La La (Hier Est Près De Moi) - 1974))
Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter
First release by: The Carpenters - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



When I was young
I´d listen to the radio
Waitin´ for my favorite songs
When they played I´d sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they´d gone
But they´re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he´s breakin´ her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more
Lookin´ back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I´d memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more

Há Dias Assim
Composer(s): Augusto Madureira
First performance by: Filipa Azevedo - 2010



Há dias assim
Que nos deixam sós
A alma vazia
A mágoa na voz

Gastámos as mãos
Tanto as apertámos
Já não há palavras
Foi de tanto as calarmos

Há uma canção
Que não te cantei
Versos por rimar
Poemas que nunca inventei

Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou?
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada

Há dias assim
Não há que esconder
Recear palavras
Amar ou sofrer

Ocultar sentidos
Fingir que não há
Há dias perdidos
Entre cá e lá

Há uma canção
Que não te cantei
Versos por rimar
Poemas que nunca inventei

Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou?
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada

Sei que um dia saberás
Que a vida é uma só
Não volta atrás

Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada

I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends, that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends, that's what I am
That's what I am
Her yesterday man

That is the look of love she had last night

Please tell me something
Have you met an angel?
Someone too lovely to live on earth
Well, yesterday I thought I met an angel
But she wasn't worth all she seemed to be worth
And oh, what a fool I have been
I was sure taken in

Now, I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends, that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends, that's what I am
That's what I am
Her yesterday man

That is the look of love she had last night

Get some of the good kind
And some of the bad kind
Some of the others are in between
But all that I can say is she is the worst kind
Well, I think you know what I mean
And yet for all that I say
I'd take her back any day

Now I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends, that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends, that's what I am
That's what I am
Her yesterday man

That is the look of love she had last night
Oh, come a little bit closer baby
(That is the look of love she had last night)
Don't give it to me, you're gonna leave me again, believe me
(That is the look of love she had last night)
I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that
(That is the look of love she had last night)
Babe, I know...

Strange Feeling
Composer(s): Billy Stewart
Performer(s): Billy Stewart



I have lived my life
My life, my, my life
In a sad world
(In a sad world)

But I'm gonna tell you
Gonna tell you
I'm gonna tell you
I've found the right girl

She's so gentle and kind
Gentle and kind
Gentle and kind
Gentle and kind
And she treats me like a king
(Just like a king)

I'm gonna tell my friends
My friends, my friends

She's my queen

She said she loves me
And she wants to be my wife
And she says she wants to love me
For the rest, the rest of her life

Oh, this strange feeling
Feel, feel, feeling
That she put in my heart

Don't you know, child
I said now
This strange feeling
Feel, feel, feeling
That we'll never, never part
(Never part, we'll never part)

Don't you know now, child
This strange feeling..... 

Yesterday I Heard The Rain
Composer(s): Gene Lees; Armando Manzanero
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists



Yesterday I heard the rain
whispering your name
asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds 
on the silent crowds
as I wandered on
Out of doorways 
black umbrellas came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed 
were looking through me
no one knew me

Yesterday I shut my eyes
face-up to the skies
drinkin' in the rain
But your image still was there 
floating in the air
brighter than a flame
Yesterday I saw a city
full of shadows without pity
and I heard the steady rain 
whispering your name
Whispering your name

(instrumental break)

Yesterday I saw a city
full of shadows without pity
and I heard the steady rain 
whispering your name
whispering your name 
whispering your name

Strange Feelin'
Composer(s): Tim Buckley
First release by: Tim Buckley - 1969



I got this strange strange feelin'
Deep down in my heart
I can't tell what it is
But it won't let go
It happens every time
I give you more than what I have
But now all I need is a little time to sing this song
And I think we're gonna find a way to lose this strange feelin' 

All around I feel ya, darlin', feel ya darlin'
When you're home all alone
Oh, don't you need somebody to talk your troubles to
Ah, lord I know I wanna catch the morning train, lord the first thing
Oh, I wanna hear you say we're gonna take that strange feelin'
Oh, take it all away 

Well it's just like a mockingbird a-singing on a hillside
Churping at his morning song
But don't you weep don't you fret don't you wail don't you moan
Can't you hear that whiporwill a-callin?
Now don't you worry
Your daddy's comin' home
He's gonna chase those blues away
And believe me when I say
We're gonna lose that strange feelin' all around all around...

Cupid's Inspiration
Performer(s): and multiple other artists



(Hey baby)
Yesterday has just departed
Yet tomorrow hasn't started
All that really matters
Is right now
And you should
Live a lifetime
In each minute
Take the sweetness
From within it
Yesterday has gone
Without a sound
Come on, baby
Let the good times roll
Time is wasting
And we'll soon be old
Just give in
To what you feel inside
Give your life a chance
To open wide
(Hey baby)
Yesterday has just departed
Yet tomorrow hasn't started
All that really matters
Is right now
And you should
Live a lifetime
In each minute
Take the sweetness
From within it
Listen to me
Yesterday has gone
Without a sound
What's the good
Of living in the past
Look around you
Things are changing fast
Don't concern yourself
With what's ahead
It's too late to live
When you are dead
(Hey baby)
We gotta live for today
No time to live for tomorrow
No time for tears of sorrow
We gotta live right now
We gotta live right now
Listen to me
Yesterday is gone
It's never gonna come back again
A laugh's gotta last forever
No time for the tears or the pain
Dreams are there for the making
Hopes are there for the taking
Gonna get it together
And face stormy weather
Baby, baby, take hold of the moment
Yesterday has just departed
Yet tomorrow hasn't started
All that really matters
Is right now
And you should
Live a lifetime
In each minute
Take the sweetness
From within it
Yesterday has gone
Without a sound
Yesterday has gone
Yesterday has gone
We gotta live right now
We gotta live
We gotta give
we gotta live
We gotta give right now
We gotta live
We gotta give
we gotta live
We gotta give right now

Satellite
Composer(s): Julie Frost, John Gordon
First performance by: Lena Meyer-Landrut - 2010



I went everywhere for you
I even did my hair for you
I bought new underwear, they're blue
And I wore 'em just the other day
 
Love, you know I'll fight for you
I left on the porch light for you
Whether you are sweet or cool
I'm gonna love you either way
 
Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite, I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your love
 
Love, I got it bad for you
I saved the best I have for you
You sometimes make me sad and blue
Wouldn't have it any other way
 
Love, my aim is straight and true
Cupid's arrow is just for you
I even painted my toenails for you
I did it just the other day
 
Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite, I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your...
Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love
 
Where you go, I follow
You set the pace, we'll take it fast and slow
I'll follow in your way
You got me, you got me
A force more powerful than gravity
It's physics, there's no escape
 
Love, my aim is straight and true
Cupid's arrow is just for you
I even painted my toenails for you
I did it just the other day
 
Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love
Like a satellite, I'm in orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night
Can't go a minute without your...
Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you
'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love
Love, love, love, love, love

Yesterday And You
Composer(s): Ross Bagdasarian
Performer(s): Bobby Vee



I sit alone in this café
And listen to the jukebox play
Remindin' me of yesterday and you
Each moment was a valentine
You promised you'd be always mine
And I believed the words you said were true

I see your face, it's everywhere
I close my eyes, but you're still there
Remindin' me of things we used to do
I wonder what your heart is sayin'
When you hear a jukebox playin'
The song that brings me yesterday and you

I wonder what your heart is sayin'
When you hear a jukebox playin'
The song that brings me yesterday and you

I sit alone in this cafe...

I see your face, it's everywhere...

Strange Face Of Love
Composer(s): Tito Larriva
Performer(s): Tito & Tarantula



Let go of your love
Ride his pulse and you'll forget, slow down your time will come
If not tonight, surely by the dawn
Take it like a man, the strange face of love

A cat's eye, a lizard's tail
The pentogram he bought from hell
He stalks the night with no intent, his brow sweats for innocence
Take it like a man, the strange face of love

Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail
Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell
Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love

The rain's soul makes killer cry
He wants desparately to die
But fast and still he forgets he's back on the streets with no regrets
Just take it like a man, the strange face of love

Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail
Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell
Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love

Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail
Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell
Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love

The strange face of love (strange) face of love (strange)

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away 
Now it looks as though they're here to stay 
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm

Apricot Stone
Composer(s): Armen Martirosyan - Karen Kavaleryan
First performance by: Eva Rivas - 2010



Many, many years ago, when I was a little child
Mama told me you should know our world is cruel and wild
But to make your way through cold and heat
Love is all that you need
 
I believed her every word, more than anything I heard
But I was too scared to lose my fun
I began to cry a lot and she gave me apricots
Kisses of the earth, fruits of the sun
 
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground
I'll just let it make its round
 
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone
 
Now I see the northern stars shining brightly in the storm
And I've got an avatar of my love to keep me warm
Now I'm not afraid of violent winds
They may blow – they can't win
 
May the winter stay away from my harvest night and day
May God bless and keep my cherished fruit
Grow my tree up to the sky, once I waved my home goodbye
I just wanna go back to my roots
 
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground
I'll just let it make its round
 
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand
Given back to me from the motherland
Apricot stone

Strange Days
Composer(s): John Densmore - Robby Krieger - Ray Manzarek - Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Strange days have found us
Strange days have tracked us down
They're going to destroy
Our casual joys
We shall go on playing
Or find a new town

Yeah!

Strange eyes fill strange rooms
Voices will signal their tired end
The hostess is grinning
Her guests sleep from sinning
Hear me talk of sin
And you know this is it

Yeah!

Strange days have found us
And through their strange hours
We linger alone
Bodies confused
Memories misused
As we run from the day
To a strange night of stone

Yes, The River Knows
Composer(s): John Densmore; 
Robbie Krieger; Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, ooo

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Yes, the river knows

Please believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mysticated wine

Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, ooo

I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in mysticated wine

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'till the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breathe under water 'till the end
