Long Ago Last Night Composer(s): Harry Warren - Mack Gordon Performer(s): Alice Faye and multiple other artists
We were alone, do you remember? Stars in the sky were shining bright You held me in your arms and said I love you so Remember, long ago last night Then in the moment of surrender Deep in your eyes I saw the light We made a promise you and I alone will know That moment long ago last night
In San Domingo Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Ted Snyder
"Chickee Choo," that was all she said to me "Chickee Choo," on an island in the sea I was blue, just as blue as I could be But "Chickee Choo," seemed to cheer me instantly Out of a million or more Who come to visit the shore It really seemed like fate, that she should wait for me Out on that tropical isle, I had to linger awhile She won me with her smile It had to be
"Chickee Choo," every time she whispered this "Chickee Choo," I would steal a little kiss All the while, I just had to wear a smile For "Chickee Choo," seemed to fill my heart with bliss It wasn't just what she said That seemed to go to my head She was a little bear, and here and there was less Although she wiggled around She never covered much ground When she said, "Chickee Choo," I answered "yes"
In San Domingo 'neath starry skies I couldn't understand her "lingo" But I could read this in her eyes (Chickee Choo, I love you) One day by "jingo"! I held her hand And I could feel my heart go "bingo" Down in San Domingo Land
Groupie (Superstar) Composer(s): Delaney Bramlett - Leon Russell - Bonnie Bramlett First release by: Delaney & Bonnie and Friends featuring Eric Clapton - 1969 Covered by 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 loved 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
Don't you remember you told me You loved 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 you say to make you come again Come back to me again And play your sad guitar
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
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
In Roxy's Eyes Composer(s): Timothy B. Schmit Performer(s): Timothy B. Schmit
Don't know if I'm wrong or right There's just so much I've got to do Don't want to put up a fight oh The minutes are far too few
I guess I'll go my way, take it in stride Day by day But I can't keep it inside And I just can't disguise The mystery I feel In Roxy's eyes, oh
I remember the night we met She gave me just one look And I never will forget oh I felt like an open book
And every night I find I don't sleep I lose my mind Can't get her out of my head It should come as no suprise It's so hard to see In Roxy's eyes oh
Way down inside my heart all I do is try I should have known it from the start That I would cry It's all in Roxy's eyes
A love that feels so strong you don't deny it It can't be wrong Still there's so much regret 'Cuz I've come to realize It's so hard to stay In Roxy's eyes oh
In Roxy's eyes oh I just can't read those eyes oh It's all in Roxy's eyes oh In Roxy's eyes oh
Long Ago (And Far Away) Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Ira Gershwin Performer(s): Martha Mears & Gene Kelly - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
Long Ago and Faraway I dreamed a dream one day And now that dream is here beside me Long the skies were overcast But now the clouds have passed You're here at last Chills run up and down my spine Aladdin's lamp is mine The dream I dreamed was not denied me Just one look and then I knew That all I dreamed of long ago was you
I dreamed a dream one day And now that dream is here beside me Long the skies were overcast But now the clouds have passed You're here at last Chills run up and down my spine Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me Just one look and then I knew

'k Lees op jouw droef gelaat Dat het tijd wordt dat je mij weer verlaat Wowoh ga, ik red me wel alleen Al wat het vraagt is tijd Ga nu maar gauw, 't is beter voor ons bei
In een flits zie ik mijn hoop in rook vergaan Al wat jij me hebt beloofd in rook vergaan Ook al blijf ik van je houden, ik wil je niet weerhouden Leven kan je ook alleen In een ruk zie ik mijn droom in rook vergaan En een leven met z'n twee in rook vergaan Zoek niet langer meer naar woorden, die kunnen mij niet troosten Nu ik jou in rook zie vergaan Nu je van me weggaat
Ik ken je veel te goed Dacht je dat een vrouw zoiets niet voelt Zolang heb ik hiervoor gevreesd Machteloos zag ik toe Machteloos en verslagen zag ik toe
In een flits zie ik mijn hoop in rook vergaan Al wat jij me hebt beloofd in rook vergaan Ook al blijf ik van je houden, ik wil je niet weerhouden Leven kan je ook alleen In een ruk zie ik mijn droom in rook vergaan En een leven met z'n twee in rook vergaan Zoek niet langer meer naar woorden, die kunnen mij niet troosten Nu ik jou in rook zie vergaan Zoek niet langer meer naar woorden, die kunnen mij niet troosten Nu ik jou in rook zie vergaan Nu je van me weggaat
Love Is Strange Composer(s): Bo Diddley - Mickey Baker - Sylvia Robinson First release by: Mickey & Sylvia - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
Love Love is strange Lot of people Take it for a game Once you get it You never wanna quit After you've had it You're in an awful fix
Many people Don't understand They think loving Is money in the hand Your sweet loving Is better than a kiss When you leave me Sweet kisses I miss
Sylvia Yes, Mickey How do you call your lover boy Come here, lover boy And if he doesn't answer Oh lover boy And if he still doesn't answer I simply say Baby, oh baby My sweet baby, you're the one Baby, oh baby My sweet baby, you're the one
'Long About Midnight Composer(s): Alexander Hill - Irving Mills Performer(s): Cab Calloway and multiple other artists
Just take a look at Harlem after sundown Any time you choose It's hard to find the people feeling run-down There's no time for blues
If you don't know just what to really do Just take a walk along the avenue You'll hear the sounds come a-floatin' through Along about midnight
They close the windows and they dim the light To hide their doings from a stranger's sight Everything is going right 'Long about midnight
Pianos tinkle, and the couples sway Taking the pleasures they find They don't care how they live by day Why not leave trouble behind?
They're not pretending like the hoy-falloy They really mean it; it's the real McCoy They turn an ounce of booze into a pound of joy 'Long about midnight!
My Love, My Life (Dutch Version: In Rook Vergaan - 1976) Composer(s): Björn Ulvaeus; Stig Erik Leopold Anderson; Benny Andersson First release by: ABBA - 1976 Covered by multiple other artists
I've seen it on your face Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase So now we'll go separate ways Never again we two Never again, nothing I can do
Like an image passing by, my love, my life In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life I can see it all so clearly (See it all so clearly) Answer me sincerely (Answer me sincerely) Was it a dream, a lie? Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life Are the words you try to find, my love, my life But I know I don't possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Still my one and only
I've watched you look away Tell me is it really so hard to say? Oh, this has been my longest day Sitting here close to you Knowing that maybe tonight we're through
Like an image passing by, my love, my life In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life I can see it all so clearly (See it all so clearly) Answer me sincerely (Answer me sincerely) Was it a dream, a lie? Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life Are the words you try to find, my love, my life But I know I don't possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Yes I know I don't possess you So go away, God bless you You are still my love and my life Still my one and only
Lonestar Composer(s): Lee Alexander Performer(s): Norah Jones & Willie Nelson
Norah: Lonestar, where are you out tonight? This feelin' I'm trying to fight It's dark and I think that I would give anything For you to shine down on me
Willie: How far you are I just don't know The distance I'm willin' to go I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky Hoping for some kind of sign.
Willie: Lonestar, where are you out tonight? This feelin' I'm trying to fight
Norah: It's dark and I think that I'd give anything For you to shine down on me

There's a place where lovers go To cry their troubles away And they call it Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two To last you all through the years And the only price you pay Is a heart full of tears
Goin' down to Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay Goin' down to Lonesome Town To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams The streets are filled with regret Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget
In Private (Dutch Version: Ik Wil Alles Met Je Doen - 1997) Composer(s): Christopher Sean Lowe; Neil Francis Tennant First release by: Dusty Springfield - 1990 Covered by multiple other artists
Take your time and tell me Where you lie I realise That we've been found out this time
We should stay together If we can But what you've planned Means there's a difference between
What you're gonna say In private You still want my love We're in this together And what you're gonna do In public Say you were never in love That you can remember
So discreet I never tried to meet Your friends or interfere I took a back seat between
And what you gonna say In private? You still want my love We're in this together And what you're gonna do In public Say you were never in love That you can remember
What you gonna say, ay When you run back to your wife? I guess it's just the story of my life What you gonna say?
So take your time And tell me Where did you learn Oh, I may publicise That there's a difference between
What you're gonna say In private? You still want my love We're in this together And what you're gonna do In public Say you were never in love That you can remember Tell me what you gonna say In private?, ooh, ooh, ooh What you gonna say? What you gonna do? Baby, what you gonna say?
La Rue Des Curs Perdus ((aka La Ville Des Âmes En Peine (by Johnny Hallyday) - 1996)) ((Adapted from: Lonesome Town (by Rick Nelson) - 1958)) Composer(s): Baker Knight - Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1959
Je connais un coin de rue Où l'on va jeter son cur Quand le pauvre ne sait plus Que répandre ses pleurs
Et malheur à tous ceux-là Qui n'osent pas le jeter Ils reviennent sur leurs pas Avec un cur usé
Dans la rue des curs perdus Ce soir c'est à mon tour Dans la rue des curs perdus D'aller pleurer mon amour
Mais j'ai peur et n'ose pas Jeter ce cur qui t'aimait Car peut-être un jour, qui sait? J'en aurai du regret
Car peut-être un jour, qui sait? J'en aurai du regret
In A Party Mood Composer(s): Jack Strachey; Russell Davies Performer(s): Charles Williams Orch. and multiple other artists
Darn the socks and wash the clocks and polish up the letter box And ask the doctor come and look at Tommy It's honestly enough to drive you barmy 'Specially when you husbands in the army - barmy
Feed the cat and beat the mat and write a note to Auntie Pat To thank her very kindly for the mincer She sent it all the ruddy way from Windsor Shame we've 'ad a mincer since before the war
So who would be a housewife, it's lower than a mouse life It's enough to make you run away to sea The world is not my oyster I'm living in a cloister I'm unable to be me
Free to put me feet up, and turn the blessed heat up Well I tell you ladies, that will be the day The weather's always freezing, I've done my flaming knees in Putting polish on the parlour parquet
Queue for ages in the street, to try to buy a piece of meat To give the kids a little treat for dinner When all I'll probably get from Mr Skinner Is something like a nasty tin of pilchards liver
What's the latest fashion look, and where 've I put me ration book Perhaps I should be rash and cook me pancake The tea's about the only thing I can make I'm sure I've drunk enough of the stuff to drop down dead
What a relief to turn the wireless on
On at just after nine There's a favourite of mine It's a beautiful, musical revelry You can hear the latest thing recorded by Crosby Or that fairy sugar dancing thing by Tchaikovsky
There's a song about flees And another called "Trees" And there's Victor Sylvester and Webster Booth So now if you've a favourite voice From Bing to the Piano Boys Just send a request into Housewives Choice
Now at forty years have passed and still we're in the kitchen singing
Put the washing on to spin and get some avacados in And marinade the meat to make it tender And don't forget today you've got to send a rather stroppy letter to the blender mender
Pick the boys up after school and drop them at the swimming pool And feed them up to turn them into he-men Do everything but actually be men That's the life you lead if you're a housewife
Help the baby count his toes, untangle all your pantyhose Send your auntie Maud a rose and wash your hands and blow your nose Chop some wood and make a fire mend a fuse and patch a tyre Join the local ladies choir find yourself the time to buy a hat And that's that
Lonesome Tears In My Eyes Composer(s): Henry Jerome - Johnny Burnette - David Burlison - Dorsey Burnette First release by: The Johnny Burnette Rock 'n' Roll Trio - 1956 Covered by multiple other artists
Oh baby, baby, baby blues and sorrow and I love you tomorrow just suit you just fine Oh baby, baby, baby blues and sorrow and I love you tomorrow just suit you just fine
I can't forget that you told me so many promising lies How must I forget these lonesome tears in my eyes?
You've broken my heart gonna do it again And I can't forget the spell that I'm in Can't forget that you told me so many promising lies I'm a-trying to forget these lonesome tears in my eyes
You've broken my heart gonna do it again I can't forget the spell that I'm in I can't forget that you told me so many promising lies I'm a-trying to forget these lonesome tears in my eyes Oh baby, baby, baby blues and sorrow And I love you tomorrow it'll suit you just fine Oh baby, baby, baby blues and sorrow I love you tomorrow just suit you just fine
I can't forget that you told me so many promising lies I'm a-trying to forget these lonesome tears in my eyes
Lonesome Suzie Composer(s): Richard Manuel First release by: The Band - 1968
Lonesome Suzie, never got the breaks She's always losing so she sits and cries and shakes It's so hard just to watch her, and if I touch her Oh, poor Suzie, I'm wondrin' what to do
She just sits there, hoping for a friend I don't fit here, but I may have a friend to lend Maybe I mistook her, but I can't overlook her Must be someone who can pull her through
Anyone who's felt that bad could tell me what to say Even if she'd just get mad, she might be better off that way And where is all the understanding Her problems can't be that demanding Why is it she looks that way Every time she starts to cry?
Lonesome Suzie, I can't watch you cry no longer If you can use me until you feel a little stronger I guess just watching you has made me lonesome too Why don't we get together What else can we do?
