Long Before I Knew You Composer(s): Jule Styne - Betty Comden - Adolph Green Performer(s): Judy Holliday & Sydney Chaplin - 1956 and multiple other artists
Long before I knew you Long before I met you I was sure I'd find you someday, somehow
I pictured someone who'd walk and talk And smile as you do And make me feel as you do right now

But now you really are here And now at last I know That long before I knew you I loved you so

In Search Of Peter Pan
Composer(s): Kate Bush
Performer(s): Kate Bush
It's been such a long week
So much crying
I no longer see a future
I've been told when I get older
That I'll understand
It all
But I'm not sure if I want to
Running into her arms
At the school gates
She whispers that I'm a poor kid
And Granny takes me on her knee
She tells me I'm too sensitive
She makes me sad
She makes me feel like an old man
She makes me feel like an old man
They took the game right out of it
They took the game right out of it
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Dennis loves to look
In the mirror
He tells me that he is beautiful
So I look too, and what do I see?
My eyes are full
But my face is empty
He's got a photo
Of his hero
He keeps it under his pillow
But I've got a pin-up
From a newspaper
Of Peter Pan
I found it in a locket
I hide it in my pocket
They took the game right out of it
They took the game right out of it
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
"When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true"

Maybe I'll learn to face the truth And like the truth I face Maybe I'll get to find myself Before I'm lost in space And maybe a love Will always be Just as faithful as it seems

And maybe a love Will always be Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow Long ago tomorrow Long ago tomorrow In my dreams
In Search Of Love Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Howie Rice; Allan Rich Performer(s): Barry Manilow
There is somebody In this world somebody She was put on earth for me Where can her love be?

I'm reaching out I'm in search of love You're everything that I'm dreaming of I can't give up, no! I'm reaching out I'm in search of love Been on my own for long enough
Well, I'm going crazy Only you can save me >From the tears and loneliness Girl, I must confess

I'm reaching out I'm in search of love You're everything that I'm dreaming of I can't give up, no! I'm reaching out I'm in search of love Been on my own for long enough

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

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

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

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!

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
