I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter Composer(s): Mark Barkan; Hank Hunter Performer(s): Connie Francis
We met at a ski lodge, and we fell in love...
Right by a fireplace We shared our first embrace And then inside my heart I felt a fire start It's gonna snow outside -- the weather will be cold But I'm gonna be warm this winter! Uh-huh-huh!
Each time your lips touch mine They taste like sparkling wine I feel so warm a glow Just 'cause I love you so It's cozy in your arms, I'm yours to have and to hold And I'm gonna be warm this winter!
Ice skating on a frozen lake Sleigh-riding down a mountainside Roasting popcorn, dancing till the dawn That was how I knew love was born-born-born-born
It's just like make-believe Each night is New Year's Eve Each day is Christmas Day You make me feel this way It's gonna snow outside -- the weather will be cold But I'm gonna be warm this winter!
It's gonna snow outside -- the weather will be cold But I'm gonna be warm this winter! Whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, make me warm this winter! Mmmm, baby, make me warm this winter! Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'll be warm this winter!
Ever-Grumbling Joe Composer(s): A.S. Gatty; Terry Kluytmans
He didn't like chicken He didn't like bread He didn't like anything Anyone said He didn't like mornings Or going to bed Didn't Grumbling Ever-grumbling Joe
He didn't like toys Or his big sister Jayne He didn't like travelling By bus or by train He didn't like sunshine He didn't like rain Didn't Grumbling Ever-grumbling Joe
He didn't like school And he didn't like fun He didn't like walking There's no way he'd run! He never would listen Not to anyone! No, not Grumbling Ever-grumbling Joe
Well, Joe's Mom and Dad They soon had quite enough Of little Joe's grumbling And so they got tough They started to take away All of his stuff! That cured Grumbling Ever-grumbling Joe!
And now he likes chicken He even likes Jayne! He plays in the sunshine He reads in the rain He runs for the paper He rides on the train No more Grumbling Ever-grumbling Joe!
I'm Gonna Be Strong Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): Gene Pitney and multiple other artists
I can see you're slipping away from me And you're so afraid I'll plead with you to stay But I'm gonna be strong and let you go your way
Our love is gone, there's no sense in holding on 'Cause your pity now would be too much to bear So I'm gonna be strong and pretend I don't care
I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along and take it like a man When you say it's the end I'll just hand you a line I'll smile and say "Don't you worry, I'm fine" And you'll never know, darling, after you kiss me goodbye How I'll break down and cryeye-eye-eye
Evergreen Composer(s): Paul Williams; Barbra Streisand Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Love, soft as an easy chair Love, fresh as the morning air One love that is shared by two I have found with you Like a rose under the April snow I was always certain love would grow Love, ageless and evergreen Seldom seen by two You and I will make each night the first Everyday a beginning Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed They warm and excite us 'Cause we have the brightest love Two lights that shine as one Morning glory and midnight sun Time, we've learned to sail above Time, won't change the meaning of one love Ageless and ever evergreen

Otis Redding Composer(s): Everclear; Art Alexakis Performer(s): Everclear
Do you remember when we were hungry? Do you remember when we were cold? Do you remember when we were happy? Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were lucky? We were livin' the life almost every night I would wrap you in my thin white arms Sit and watch the stars glide
Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers? Do you remember when we were the lame? Do you remember when we were the lepers? Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were strung out? Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese We would get so lost in that basement room Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep I wish I had one more life
I don't wanna be wasted I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore I just wanna be happy again I don't wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind
I don't wanna be wasted I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore I just wanna be happy again I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind) I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind) I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
I wish I could be like all my heroes I wish I could be like all yours too I wish I could sing like Otis Redding I wish I could play this guitar in tune
Do you remember when we were hungry? Do you remember when we were cold? Do you remember when we were happy in a way No one outside could ever know? I wish I had one more life How I wish I had one more life to live
I don't wanna be wasted I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore I just wanna be happy again I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted No, I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore I just wanna be happy again I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind No, I don't want to be blind No, I don't want to be blind

Ever Since The World Began Composer(s): Chris Dreja; Jim McCarty; Jeff Beck; Keith Relf; Paul Samwell-Smith Performer(s): The Yardbirds
Ever since the world began Satan's followed every man Trapping evil if he can I tell you now his greatest plan Invented when I cannot tell Defied the thoughts of man so well Man wants money for his need But soon it sows it's evil seed Unhappiness it only brings As man wants more and better things If not enough the evil lies But soon you'll find somebody dies Throughout the years there have been wars Power and richness have been the cause Trapped in money's evil net Man wants more than he can get You don't need money No, no, no, no You don't need money No, no, no, no You don't need money ... etc. It'll never bring you love No more than the sun above You'll never see the end The money you will surely spend But ask for help if you sin Reclaim yourself, what a state you're in The devil has you in his grasp There ain't no mercy you can ask More and more you will need You're strangled in the clutch of greed You can't get out, no place to go You sold your soul - the answer's no!
Ever Since The World Began Composer(s): Jim Peterik; Frankie Sullivan Performer(s): Survivor
I never knew what brought me here As if somebody led my hand It seems I hardly had to steer My course was planned
A destiny that guides us all And by its hand we rise and fall But only for a moment time Enough to catch our breath again
And we're just another piece of the puzzle Just another part of the plan Oh, when life touches the other It's so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together We travel through as far as we can And we have waited for this moment in time Ever since the world began
Takin' in the times gone by We wonder how it all began We never know and still we try to understand
And even though the seasons change The reasons still remain the same It's love that keeps us holdin' on Till we can see the sun again
And we're just another piece of the puzzle Just another part of the plan And we have waited for this moment in time Ever since the worl began
And I stand alone, a man of stone, against the drivin' rain And the night it's got your number and the wind it passes your name And we search for truth, win or lose to whisper on again Where hopes still burn eternal We're the people of the plain

America, I must say I love you You're more than a mother to me And although I must stray, I must go away Still my home you will always be So goodbye, I am leaving you soon I must sail with the last day of June

America, you're such a young nation You are just like a big bouncing boy You've been happy and gay, I loved you that way Your freedom the world could enjoy I am sorry to leave you behind I'll come back here when you've changed your mind
I'm goin' to settle down, outside of London Town Down in a village by the sea And you will find me there with the country air Where everything is free And when I'm over there My heart will still be here And I hate to say "Goodbye" But I'm a man who must have a little liquor when I'm dry, dry dry

Somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains far above the sad blue sea somewhere there's a heart that's yearning that is where I long to be In my dreams you're near and yet so far I'll come back to where you are
I can see the love light gleaming, guiding me along the way to a little lonely cabin where I'll be with you for aye As we sit beside the cabin door, I'll sing this refrain once more
I'm on my way back to you like the mountains, dear, I know you're blue Tho' the road is hard and long still my love has grown so strong that I'd follow you the whole world through Where the mountains and the skies above are bluer I will find someone I know is truer than skies above pretty mountains rose, doll up in your gingham clothes I'm goin' to climb the Blue Ridge Mountains back to you

I'm going higher, yes higher someday I'm going higher, yes higher to stay Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky Going where none ever sicken or die Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday
Often my soul has been lifted above Lost in the ocean of God's mighty love Higher and higher, but once still I say I'm going higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher someday I'm going higher, yes higher to stay Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky Going where none ever sicken or die Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday
Soon will the Saviour appear, bless His name And in a moment, we all will be changed Then when he calls for his bright come away We're going higher someday
I'm going higher, yes higher someday I'm going higher, yes higher to stay Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky Going where none ever sicken or die Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by I'm going higher and higher and higher
I'm going higher, yes higher someday I'm going higher, yes higher to stay Over the mountain, beyond the blue sky Going were none ever sicken or die Loved ones will meet in that sweet by and by I'm going higher someday I'm going higher someday I'm going higher and higher and higher and higher someday Someday
Evening In June Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison
By the light of the moon When the night holds the secrets Of the sleepy lagoon I´m contemplating moonlight On the water When I´m walking with you On an evening in June
On an evening in June It can get so sentimental When I´m thinking of you And I can´t think of anything Except being with you When the summer is through On an evening in June
On an evening in June Well it lifts me up When I´m talking to you On an evening in June When the flowers are in bloom And the sky is so blue
Well there´s so many things Taking place That it´s hard to keep up with it all Keep your eye on the ball And to make the right call When we´re longing for fall On this evening in June
On an evening in June Well it lifts me up When I´m talking to you On an evening in June When the flowers are in bloom And the sky is so blue
Well there´s so many things taking place That it´s hard to keep up with it all Keep your eye on the ball And to make the right call When we´re longing for fall On this evening in June By the sleepy lagoon On an evening in June By the light of the moon By the sleepy lagoon On an evening in June On an evening in June By the sleepy lagoon By the light of the moon By the sleepy lagoon On an evening in June
I'm Going Back To Where I Came From Composer(s): Jessie Mae Robinson Performer(s): Spike Jones
I'm goin' back to where I come from Where the honeysuckle smells so sweet it durn near makes you sick I used to think my life was hum-drum But I sure have leared a lesson that is bound to stick There ain't no use of me pretendin' The city just ain't no place for a guy like me to end in Goin' back to where I come from Where the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush
I used to go down to the station Every evenin' just to watch the Pullman train come rollin' in And then one night, that great temptation Got too great, so I just up and left my kith and kin I took my hat and fourteen dollars And I went through all the troubles of the plight that always follows When you're rich and huntin' romance But my huntin' days are over, I can tell you that
I met a man in Kansas City An' he winked and asked me if I'd like to step around I said "Why, yes, why sure, that's what I'm here for, betcha life" So he said he'd take me to the hottest spots in town He mentioned things he'd have to fix up So he took my fourteen dollars but there must have been a mix up He's been gone since Monday evenin' And I've gotta hunch I'll never see that guy no more
I'm goin' back to where I come from Where the mockin' bird is singin' in the lilac bush
