    Long Time No See
    Composer(s): Arthur Altman - James Cavanaugh
    Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters; Woody Herman & His Orch.



    Long time no see
    Baby, what's the reason I get the go by
    Like to know why long time no see
    Long time adore
    If you're on the level why don't you tell me
    Why me no see you any more
    Let him go, let him go
    Ev'ryone keeps tellin' me
    But my heart can no agree
    Guess my heart knows best
    And the rest is up to you
    Honestly, am I just a fool for stringin' along
    Oh baby what's wrong
    Long time no see

    Long time no see
    Baby, what's the reason I get the go by
    Like to know why long time no see
    Long time oh I adore
    If you're on the level why don't you tell me
    Why me no see you any more, more, more
    Let him go, let him go, let him go, let him go
    Ev'ryone keeps tellin' me
    But my heart can no agree
    Ra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
    You, me no see, what can it be
    Maybe I'm crazy, but long time no see

    Ra-ra-ra long time no see
    What's the reason I get the go by
    Like to know why long time no see
    Me love you, you love who
    Is it yes or is it noo
    Do I stay or do I goo
    I'd be in a stew if you ever said we're through
    What to do
    If you loved me tha way that I love you
    It wouldn't be, it wouldn't be
    Long time no see
    It could be true that I love you
    I miss you so, long time no see

    I just found out about love and I like it, I like it
    I like what love has been doing to me
    I hold you close in my arms and I like it, I like it
    Oh, what a wonderful future I see

    It’s a one time only
    It’s a lifetime deal
    And I know it’s real
    I can tell by the way that I feel

    Right now I’m livin’ it up and I like it, I like it
    Hey you give me a clue
    What’s love doing to you
    Looks like you could be liking it too

    Long Time Gone
    Composer(s): Tex Ritter - Frank Hartford
    First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1958



    You cheated me and made me lonely
    I tried to be your very own
    There'll be a day you'll want me only
    But when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
    Be a long time gone, be a long time gone
    Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone

    You're gonna be sad, you're gonna be weeping
    You're gonna be blue and all alone
    You'll regret the day you seen me leaving
    'Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
    Be a long time gone, be a long time gone
    'Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone

    You'll see my face through tears and sorrow
    You'll miss the face you called your own
    Baby, there'll be no tomorrow
    'Cause when I leave, I'll be a long time gone
    Be a long time gone, be a long time gone
    Yes, when I leave, I'll be a long time gone

    I've Heard That Song Before
    Composer(s): Jule Styne; Sammy Cahn
    Performer(s): Helen Forrest
    and multiple other artists



    It seems to me I've heard that song before
    It's from an old familiar score
    I know it well, that melody
    It's funny how a theme recalls a favorite dream
    A dream that brought you so close to me

    I know each word because I've heard that song before
    The lyrics said "Forever more"
    Forever more's a memory
    Please have them play it again
    And I'll remember just when
    I heard that lovely song before

    Long Time
    Composer(s): Tom Scholz
    Performer(s): Boston



    It's been such a long time
    I think I should be going
    And time doesn't wait for me
    It keeps on rolling
    Sail on
    On a distant highway
    I've got to keep on chasing a dream
    I've gotta be on my way
    Wish there was something I could say

    Well, I'm taking my time
    I'm just moving on
    You'll forget about me after I've been gone
    And I take what I find
    I don't want no more
    It's just outside of your front door
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    It's been such a long time
    It's been such a long time

    Well (Woo?) I get so lonely
    When I am without you
    But in my mind, deep in my mind
    I can't forget about you
    Good times
    And faces that remind me
    I'm trying to forget your name
    And leave it all behind me
    You're coming back to find me

    Well, I'm taking my time
    I'm just moving on
    You'll forget about me after I've been gone
    And I take what I find
    I don't want no more
    It's just outside of your front door
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    It's been such a long time
    It's been such a long time

    It's been such a long time
    I think I should be going
    And time doesn't wait for me
    It keeps on rolling
    There's a long road
    I've gotta stay in time with
    I've got to keep on chasing that dream
    Though I may never find it
    I'm always just behind it

    Well, I'm taking my time
    I'm just moving on
    You'll forget about me after I've been gone
    And I take what I find
    I don't want no more
    It's just outside of your front door
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    It's been such a long time
    It's been such a long time

    Well, I'm taking my time
    I'm just moving on

    I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face
    (Dutch & Spanish Versions: Ik Voel Dat Ik Haar Mis (Wim Sonneveld); A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré (Manolo Fabregas))
    Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe
    First performance/First release by: Rex Harrison - 1956
    Covered by multiple other artists



    Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!
    I've grown accustomed to her face
    She almost makes the day begin
    I've grown accustomed to the tune
    That she whistles night and noon
    Her smiles, her frowns
    Her ups, her downs
    Are second nature to me now
    Like breathing out and breathing in

    I was serenly independent
    And content before we met
    Surely I could always be that way again - and yet
    I've grown accustomed to her look
    Accustomed to her voice
    Accustomed to her face

    Marry Freddy
    What an infantile idea
    What a heartless, wicked, brainless thing to do
    But she'll regret it
    It's doomed before they even take the vow

    I can see her now, Mrs. Freddy Eynsford-Hill
    In a wretched little flat above a store
    I can see her now, not a penny in the till
    And a bill collector beating at the door
    She'll try to teach the things I taught her
    And end up selling flowers instead
    Begging for her bread and water
    While her husband has his breakfast in bed

    In a year or so, when she's prematurely grey
    And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk
    She'll come home and lo
    He'll have upped and run away
    With a social-climbing heiress from New York
    Poor Eliza. How simply frightful!
    How humiliating! How delightful!

    How poignant it'll be on that inevitable night
    When she hammers on my door in tears and rags
    Miserable and lonely, repentant and contrite
    Will I take her in or hurl her to the walls?
    Give her kindness or the treatment she deserves?
    Will I take her back or throw the baggage out?

    But, I'm a most forgiving man
    The sort who never could, never would
    Take a position and staunchly never budge
    A most forgiving man

    But I shall never take take her back
    If she were even crawling on her knees
    Let her promise to atone
    Let her shiver, let her moan
    I'll slam the door and let the hell-cat freeze!

    Marry Freddy, Ha!

    But I'm so used to hear her day
    "Good morning" ev'ry day
    Her joys, her woes
    Her highs, her lows
    Are second nature to me now
    Like breathing out and breathing in

    I'm very grateful she's a woman
    And so easy to forget, rather like a habit
    One can always break - and yet
    I've grown accustomed to the trace
    Of something in the air
    Accustomed to her face

    Long Thin Dawn
    Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
    First release by: Gordon Lightfoot - 1968



    That long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
    I've seen the hills of Frisco and the streets of Montreal
    In every town I've been to, I've had someone to call
    From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul
    I've had so many good friends I couldn't miss them all
    And that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    Last night I came to Denver beneath the snow-capped ridge
    I thought about my darling as I stood beneath the bridge
    And there were times I made her cry but I guess by now she's learned
    that any time I've wandered, I always have returned
    And that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    Right now I'm on a highway just east of Omaha
    riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
    With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
    all the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill
    And that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    While climbing up a hillside, Bill drops her down a gear
    And the engine sings so sweetly, 'tis music to my ear
    I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can
    driving like the restless wind across this precious land
    and that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    Says Bill "the air is clean tonight" as he puffs a big cigar
    "and if this rig keeps rolling, my boy you'll travel far
    But when you are a trucker you'll come to realize
    the only thing a man can do is watch the world go by"
    And that long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again
    That long thin dawn, that long thin dawn is coming on again

    I've Gotta Sing Away These Blues
    Composer(s): Jeri Cooper
    Performer(s): Doris Day



    My sweet man's left me
    And I've got a torch I must lose
    I may have to die some
    And surely I'll cry some
    But I've gotta sing away these blues

    It's heartbreak time now
    And so it's a sad song I choose
    You may find it dreary
    But Lord I'm so weary
    I've gotta sing away these blues

    I thought my role was certain
    He was mine, he was mine, he was mine
    But then fate rang down the curtain
    And all I have left is a heart that's bereft

    And now it's over
    And I'm still payin' love's dues
    My heart was a glad thing
    That turned into sad thing
    I've gotta sing away these blues

    Yes I've gotta sing away these blues
    These blues

    I gotta right to sing the blues
    I gotta right to feel low down

    Down around the river

    A certain gal in this old town
    Keeps draggin' my poor heart around
    All I see for me is misery
    I gotta right to sing the blues

    I gotta right to moan and sigh
    I gotta right to sit and cry
    Down around the river

    I know the deep blue sea
    Will soon be callin' me
    It must be love, say what you choose
    I've gotta right to sing the blues

    First release by: Bee Gees - 1968
    Covered by multiple other artists



    The preacher talked to me and he smiled
    Said, "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile
    Now for once in your life you're alone
    but you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone"

    I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
    One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

    I told him I'm in no hurry
    but if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry
    And for once in my life I'm alone
    and I've got to let her know just in time before I go

    I've just go to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
    One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

    Well I laughed but that didn't hurt
    and it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt
    Now I'm crying but deep down inside
    well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

    I've just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on
    One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on

    Je ne veux plus te revoir
    Je sortirai tout seul
    Je sortirai tout seul ce soir

    Stasera voglio farti un regalo
    che ti faccia ricordar
    chi scordarti non sa

    Ho sentito questo disco suonare
    l'ho comprato per te
    perchè pensi un poco a me

    Questo disco
    è il mio pensiero d'amore
    per te, per te

    Ogni volta
    che lo senti suonare
    pensa a me, a me

    Accetta questo regalo
    se il mio amore non vuoi
    questo almeno vorrai

    Un regalo non si butta mai via
    quando sola resterai
    potrà farti compagnia

    Questo disco
    è il mio pensiero d'amore
    per te, per te

    Anche se non potrà
    farti tornare
    con me, con me

    Come passi adesso le tue serate
    cosa fai, con chi sei
    sei felice con lui?

    Ma se un dubbio ti riporta al passato
    dove sono lo sai
    puoi chiamarmi se vuoi

    Questo disco
    è il mio pensiero d'amore
    per te, per te

    Ogni volta
    che lo senti suonare
    pensa a me, a me

    Per te, per te
    Ogni volta che lo senti suonare
    pensa a me, a me

    Questo disco
    è il mio pensiero d'amore
    per te, per te

    Ogi volta che lo senti ...

    Long Tall Glasses
    Composer(s): David Alexander Courtney - Leo Sayer
    First release by: Leo Sayer



    I was travellin' down the road, feelin' hungry and cold
    I saw a sign sayin' food and drinks for everyone
    so naturally I thought I would take me a look inside
    I saw so much food, there was water comin' from my eye

    yeah there was ham an' there was turkey, there was caviar
    an' long tall glasses, with wine up to yar

    an' then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chair
    said before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire

    you know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
    you know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
    I can't dance

    I am a man of the road -- a hobo by name
    I don't seek entertainment, just poultry and game
    but if it's all the same to you, then yes I will try my hand
    if you were as hungry as me then I'm sure you would understand

    hmmm
    now wait a minute
    let me see now

    of course I can dance of course I can dance
    I'm sure I can dance, I'm sure I can dance ...
    I can dance

    I can dance
    I really hit the floor
    ah feels good
    look at me dancin'

    I did a two-step, quick-step and a bossa nova
    a little Victor Silvester, and a Rudy Valentino
    you should a seen me movin', right across the floor
    hand me down my tuxedo, next week I'm comin' back for more

    I can dance -- oh yes! I can dance
    look at me dancin' the floor movin'
    I feel good -- I can dance
    I can dance, I can dance, I can dance

    I’ve Gotta Be Me
    Composer(s): Walter Marks
    Performer(s): Sammy Davis Jr.
    and multiple other artists



    Whether I’m right, whether I’m wrong
    Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
    I’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
    What else can I be but what I am?

    I want to live, not merely survive
    And I won’t give up this dream of life
    That keeps me alive
    I’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
    The dream that I see makes me what I am

    That faraway prize, a world of success
    Is waiting for me if I heed the call
    I won’t settle down or settle for less
    As long as there’s half a chance that I can have it all

    I’ll go it alone, that’s how it must be
    I can’t be right for somebody else if I’m not right for me
    I’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
    Daring to try to do it or die, I’ve gotta be me

    I can’t be right for somebody else if I’m not right for me
    I’ve gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me
    Daring to try to do it or die
    I’ve gotta be me

    Yes, all day through they were happy and gay
    Just that way

    I've Got You Under My Skin
    Composer(s): Cole Porter
    First performance by: Virginia Bruce - 1936
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I've got you under my skin
    I've got you deep in the heart of me
    So deep in my heart, that you're really a part of me
    I've got you under my skin

    I've tried so not to give in
    I've said to myself this affair never will go so well
    But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know so well
    That I've got you under my skin

    I'd sacrifice anything come what might
    For the sake of having you near
    In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
    And repeats, repeats in my ear

    Don't you know you fool, you never can win
    Use your mentality, wake up to reality
    But each time I do, just the thought of you
    Makes me stop before I begin
    'Cause I've got you under my skin

    Long Tail Cat
    Composer(s): Kenny Loggins
    First release by: Loggins & Messina - 1972



    Long tail cat, a-sittin' by the 'ol rockin' chair
    Now, he don't realise that there's a danger there
    But he don't care, no rock 'n rollin' chair's
    Gonna boogie on his day
    'Cause he's a-swingin' his tail to a lowdown syncopate

    I'm going down to Orleans town on a Dixie holiday
    Get myself a hunk o' that harmony, yay-yayee
    You may be a symphony, but I believe in a song
    That's got a catchy melody and you can sing along
    Yow-ooh, yeah Lord

    Wow, they say they're talkin' about the girls that work up the town
    Now I don't realise that they're a danger now, yeah
    No swingin' tail, no rock `n roll girl
    A-gonna boogie-woogie on these days
    Just making time, to a Dixie holiday

    I'm goin' down to New Orleans town
    To get a pound of feed
    Be back home in the dust about half a week, yeah-yay-ee
    You may be a symphony, but I believe in a song
    That's got a catchy melody and you can sing along
    Everybody sing along
    Don't know what to sing a long, Lord
    Hey, you gonna sing a long

    All you sing is oh my, oh my my
    Your daddy's gettin' older
    Your cows are goin' dry
    You gotta go by
    Go by by on the Dixie holiday, yeah-yay-ay-yay

    Oh my, oh my my
    Your daddy's gettin' older
    And your cows are goin' dry
    You gotta go by
    Go by by on a Dixie holiday-ay-yay

    Oh my, oh my my
    Your daddy's gettin' older
    Your cows are goin' dry
    You gotta go by
    Go by by on a Dixie holida-ooh people

    Oh my, oh my my
    Your daddy's gettin' older
    Your cow's are goin' dry
    You gotta go by
    Go by by on a Dixie holiday, think about your Daddy

    Oh my, oh my my
    Your daddy's gettin' older
    Your cows are goin' dry
    You gotta go by
    Go by by on a Dixie holiday, yay-ay

    Oh, we're leaving on a Dixie holiday
    Heading for the Dixie holiday, yeah, yeah, yeah

    I've Got You On My Mind
    Composer(s): Cole Porter
    Performer(s): Fred Astaire & Claire Luce
    and multiple other artists



    Claire: You can't be much surprised to hear I think you're sweller than swell
    Fred: But granting all your virtues, Dear, you've certain feelings as well
    Claire: You don't sing enough, you don't dance enough
    Fred: You don't drink the great wines of France enough
    Claire: You're not wild enough
    Fred: You're not gay enough
    Claire: You don't let me lead you astray enough
    Fred: You don't live enough, you don't dare enough
    Claire: You don't give enough, you don't care enough
    Fred: You don't make my sad life sunny enough
    Claire: Yet, sweetheart, funny enough....

    I've got you on my mind
    Although I'm disinclined
    You're not so hot, you
    But I've got you on my mind

    Fred:
    I'd thank the gods above
    If I could only love
    Somebody not you
    But I've got you on my mind

    Claire:
    Let my poor upset leisure be
    Otherwise my pet treasure be
    Fred:
    And arrange to let pleasure be
    A bit less refined

    Both:
    For, darling, not until
    I get thet famous thrill
    Will I be resigned
    I've got you on my mind
