Summer Is Over (French Version: L'été Est Fini - 1964) Composer(s): Clive Westlake - Tom Springfield Performer(s): Dusty Springfield - 1964
The evening is gently falling The flowers are slowly fading The boats are all moored to shore Everything tells me that summer is over
The sky is suddenly turning grey Above, the clouds and the rain The leaves are falling And are carried away by the wind Everything tells me that the summer is over
Oh, another star twinkles from afar The moon is weak and pale There is hope no more There's no one there And then it's already autumn
Above, the birds have flown away The love that I had has gone With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to him That's how summer ended
Oh, another star twinkles from afar The moon is weak and pale There is hope no more There's no one there And then it's already autumn
Above, the birds have flown away The love that I had has gone With tears in my eyes I said goodbye to him That's how summer ended That's how summer ended
L'été Est Fini (English Version: Summer Is Over - 1964) Composer(s): Clive Westlake - Tom Springfield - A. Salvet Performer(s): Dusty Springfield - 1964
Le soir qui descend doucement Les fleurs qui se fanent lentement Et tous ces bateaux Qui ne vont plus sur l'eau Tout me dit que l'été est fini
Le ciel qui soudain devient gris Là bas, les nuages et la pluie Les feuilles qui sont mortes Et que le vent emporte Tout me dit que l'été est fini
Oh, plus une étoile au loin me scintille La lune inutile et pâle L'espoir m'abandonne Il n'y a plus personne Puis, déjà c'est l'automne
Là bas, les oiseaux sont partis L'amour que j'avais s'est enfuit Les larmes dans les yeux Je lui ai dit adieu C'est ainsi que l'été a fini
Oh, plus une étoile au loin me scintille La lune inutile et pâle L'espoir m'abandonne Il n'y a plus personne Puis, déjà c'est l'automne
Là bas, les oiseaux sont partis L'amour que j'avais s'est enfuit Les larmes dans les yeux Je lui ai dit adieu C'est ainsi que l'été a fini C'est ainsi que l'été a fini

Summer In The City Composer(s): John Sebastian - Mark Sebastian - Steve Boone First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down Isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, In the city, In the summer In the city
Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so sharp and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezing at a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you at the rooftop But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And Babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, In the city, In the summer In the city
Blue Snowflakes Composer(s): Billy Hayes Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
Blue Snowflakes cover the ground When a blue lover has no sweetheart around And those Blue Snowflakes fall from the skies Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes
Sweethearts shopping everywhere, dashing through the snow The gifts all wrapped in bright red ribbons everywhere I go Decorating trees of green for the ones they love But for me I only see Blue Snowflakes from above
Blue Snowflakes cover the ground When a blue lover has no sweetheart around And those Blue Snowflakes falls from the skies Like the blue, blue teardrops from his eyes
I remember her first kiss on an old sleigh ride The white snowflakes looked just like stardust with her by my side It was then she promised me someday we would wed Now those wedding bells will ring for some else instead
Blue Snowflakes follow me round Only blue memories in my heart can be found And those Blue Snowflakes fall from the skies Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes Like the blue, blue teardrops from my eyes
You Got Me Composer(s): Booker T. Jones Performer(s): Levon Helm
You got me spinning You got me spinning like a spinning top You got me hoping Hoping this love will never stop
(Refrain) You gave your love to me, and all my dreams Your love is making me believe in me
You got me burning You got me burning like a pile of steam You got me ruuning Got me running like a pile of steam
(Refrain)
You got me knowing Knowing that you in my life I'd spend You got me rolling Rolling like a river around the bend You got me turning Turning around like a spinning top You know you got me knowing Knowing our love would never stop

Every time I look into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money just can't buy
One look from you, I drift away
I pray that you are here to stay
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby!
Every time I hold you I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I'm your man
I live my life to be with you
No one can do the things you do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby!
Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all
I'm glad to give my love to you

Eindelijk is het nu weer zomer holiday Niet meer werken voor een week of twee Enkel dromen van een zomer holiday k Wil d'r uit en ik ga naar de zee En ik neem jou mee We gaan naar waar de zon zal schijnen En naar een zee zo hemelsblauw Daar gaan onze zorgen verdwijnen En ik, ik hou van jou Met zn tweetjes op een zomer holiday Is het mooiste wat er kan bestaan Fijn genieten op een zomer holiday En trek je nergens meer iets van aan Laat de boel maar gaan
We leven enkel voor de liefde We leven enkel voor elkaar We lachen, we dansen, we zingen Twee weken van een jaar Eindelijk is het nu weer zomer holiday Niet meer werken voor een week of twee Enkel dromen van een zomer holiday k Wil der uit en ik ga naar de zee en ik neem jou mee Mmm mmm Mmm mmm Mmm mmm
You Go To My Head Composer(s): Haven Gillespie; J. Fred Coots Performer(s): Teddy Wilson; and various other artists
You go to my head and you linger like a haunting refrain And I find you spinning 'round in my brain Like the bubbles in a glass of champagne You go to my head like a sip of sparkling Burgundy brew And I find the very mention of you Like the kicker in a julep or two
The thrill of the thought that you might give a thought to my plea Cast a spell over me Still I say to myself get a hold of yourself Can't you see that it never can be
You go to my head with a smile that makes my temperature rise Like a summer with a thousand Julys You intoxicate my soul with your eyes Though I'm certain that this heart of mine Hasn't a ghost of a chance in this crazy romance You go to my head You go to my head
You Go Back To Your World (And I'll Go Back To Mine)
You Go Back To Your World (And I'll Go Back To Mine) Composer(s): Johnny Mosby Performer(s): Johnny & Jonie Mosby
I know we can't be satisfied with love we had to steal For a little while our passion made us blind Now if the shoe was on the other foot, I know just how we'd feel So you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine
You go back to your world and I'll go back to mine We'll both leave the darkness where unfaithfulness must hide They love us so and we both know we're not the cheating kind So you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine
(Instrumental Break)
The taste of tears on your cheek tell me this is goodbye To seek of love would be a waste of time Now you don't wanna hurt the one who patiently stands by So you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine
You go back to your world and I'll go back to mine We'll both leave the darkness where unfaithfulness must hide They love us so and we both know we're not the cheating kind So you go back to your world and I'll go back to mine
The Ballad Of Josie Composer(s): Floyd Huddleston - Don Costa Performer(s): Ron Dante
The ballad of Josie A story to remember A pretty girl, a sturdy girl Made of solid timber She set her sights and fought her fights And justice was her aim And Rebel County has never been the same
She didn't wear no fancy clothes And worked like any man She found a lot of danger And still she never ran
Josie had some high ideals And never did she lose 'm And she also had some rough words In case she had to use 'm The ballad of Josie A story to remember A pretty girl, a sturdy girl Made of solid timber She set her sights and fought her fights And justice was her aim And Rebel County has never been the same
The ballad of Josie A story to remember The ballad of Josie
You Give Me Those Feelings Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul Performer(s): Lynsey De Paul
I gave my heart I don't know why You never do the things like the other guys You don't buy me flowers You don't call me up But you give me something I need a lot
You give me those feelings You give me those feelings The kind that money can't buy They kind of leave but not quite Feelings and when you get feelings Who could need anything more
I don't know why But I love you so However hard I try well they still don't go With you sloppy kisses and your funny chin You really don't know the state I'm in
You give me those feelings You give me those feelings The kind that make your handshake Just like a tiny earthquake Feelings and when you get feelings who could need anything more
Aaah
Feelings, you give me those feelings The kind that money can't buy They kind of leave but not quite Feelings and when you get feelings Who could need anything more Isn't it what life is for
Summer Days And Summer Nights Performer(s): Danny Kirwan
Summer days and summer nights Far away from city lights And you, my love, without your sweet song In the world Drifting like a summer breeze (call my name along the way) And in the afternoon We'll walk and find the things to say But now's the time to say goodbye To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes Drifting like a summer breeze Sometimes you call my name along the way And in the afternoon We'll walk and find the things to say But now's the time to say goodbye To the magic in (your eyes) To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes Drifting like a summer breeze Sometimes you call my name along the way And in the afternoon We'll walk and find the things to say But now's the time to say goodbye To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes To the magic in your eyes
