(Elle:) Le miel de l'amour qu'on boit jusqu'à se griser C'est cela que l'on nomme le vin de l'été
(Lui:) Je suis venu d'une autre ville, en étranger Portant une bourse d'argent à mon gilet
(Elle:) Le bel étranger sur ta route, moi je vais Te faire goûter le vin de l'été Oh oh de l'été Le miel de l'amour qu'on boit jusqu'à se griser C'est cela que l'on nomme le vin de l'été Enlève ton gilet et ta bourse dorée Et viens goûter le vin de l'été Oh oh de l'été
(Lui:) Mais le lendemain quand j'ai voulu me lever Le sol roulait comme un bateau dessous mes pieds
(Elle:) Tu as trop bu ou pas assez, reviens, je vais Te redonner le vin de l'été Oh oh de l'été
(Lui:) Le miel de l'amour qu'on boit jusqu'à se griser C'est cela que l'on nomme le vin de l'été
(Elle:) Enlève ton gilet et ta bourse dorée Et viens goûter le vin de l'été Oh oh de l'été
(Lui:) A mon réveil le soleil me brûlait les yeux Le vin cognait comme un fou dans ma tête en feu
(Elle:) Et moi j'étais partie et sa bourse dorée Évanouie dans le vin de l'été Oh oh de l'été
(Ensemble:) Le miel de l'amour qu'on boit jusqu'à se griser C'est cela que l'on nomme le vin de l'été
You Just Can't Play A Sad Song On A Banjo Composer(s): Paul Buskirk; Russell Jackson Performer(s): Willie Nelson
Now we all know the violin plays sweetly And the steel guitar thrills all the world completely But for all around good fun there's really only one And it's round and firm and fully packed and puts the blues on the run And you just can't play a sad song on the banjo A banjo tune will have to make you smile And when you're feeling low and melancholy just pick up the ol' banjo by golly 'Cause you just can't play a sad song on the banjo
(guitar)
Now bad news just won't hang around the banjo Old dismal gloom will have to disappear A sad song can't be played so please don't be afraid 'Cause you just can't play a sad song on the banjo
Summer Wind ((Adapted from: Der Sommerwind (by Grethe Ingmann) - 1965)) ((Dutch Version: Die Zomernacht (by Will Tura) - 2009)) Composer(s): Heinz Meier - Hans Bradtke - Johnny Mercer Performer(s): Wayne Newton - 1965 and multiple other artists
The summer wind came blowin' in From across the sea It lingered there so warm and fair
All summer long we sang a song And then we strolled on golden sand Two friends and the summer wind
Like painted skies, those days and nights They went flying by The world was new Beneath the bright blue Umbrella sky
Then softer than That piper man One day, it called to you And I lost you I lost you to The summer wind
The autumn wind And the winter winds They have come and they have gone And still those days Those lonely days They go on and on And guess who sighs his lullabies To all the nights that never end? My fickle friend The summer wind
You Hit The Nail On The Head Composer(s): George Clinton; Bernie Worrell; Clarence Haskins Performer(s): Funkadelic
You hit the nail on the head
You hit the nail on the head
Just because you win the fight Don't make you right Just because you give Don't make you good Don't make you good Don't make you good Don't make you good
Just because you win the fight Don't make you right Just because you give Don't make you good Don't make you good Don't make you good Don't make you good Don't make you good
Ahh, somebody said? Somebody there is crying Somebody said it's?
Summer Sweetheart
Composer(s): Fred Ebb - Paul Klein
Performer(s): The Ames Brothers
Tell me that you love me
Say I'm not a summer sweetheart
Left to cry when summer laughter's gone
And tell me that you need me
Say i'm not a summer sweetheart
Left alone with winter coming on
And tell me when the beach umbrella's are no longer on the sand
When leaves fall on the tennis court we'll still be hand in hand
Oh let me hear you say
Tho we began as summer sweethearts we found love that never will be old
A summer love that never will grow cold
Oh let me hear you say
Tho we began as summer sweethearts we found love that never will be old
A summer love that never will grow cold
You Helped Me Up (When The World Let Me Down) Composer(s): Cile Davis; Carmen Holland; Clyde Pitts Performer(s): Jerry Lee Lewis
Taking in consideration honey all that we've been through A thousand gossip touted tongues can't stop my loving you You broke the chains of misery that had me tightly bound Yes you helped me up when the world let me down You helped me up and stood by me everyway our luck was down My party friends from the party days no longer were around You saw in me a quality that no one else has found Yes you helped me up when the world let me down
(piano)
You helped me up and stood by me everyway our luck was down Through your eyes you saw a king and the world saw only a clown (yes they did) My problems all were solved the day your sweet love Jerry found Yes you helped me up when the world let me down You helped me up when the world let me down (that's right baby)
Summer Sounds Composer(s): Roy Bennett - Sid Tepper Performer(s): Robert Goulet
Happy summer sounds The summer sounds I love
Listen to the music of the carousel The tinglelingle, lingle of the icecream bell Splishing and a splashing and a moonlight swim Roaring up the waves when you're surfing in
June, July and August play a symphony Under starry skies above Happy summer sounds The summer sounds I love
The travelling on a steamboat on a sunday cruise The sizzle of the hotdogs and a barbecue The swinging of a rollercoaster way up high The whistles on the beach when "a peach" goes by
Summer time is here Wake up and come alive Put away scarf and blouse Here come summer sounds, The summer sounds I love
Summer time is here Wake up and come alive Put away scarf and blouse Together now
"Here come summer sounds Summer sounds, summer sounds Here come summer sounds The summer sounds I love"
You Have Composer(s): Marc Almond Performer(s): Marc Almond
Oh you have the saddest eyes That I have ever seen Secret sorrows of a heart That breaks so easily Don't let me catch you crying Don't let me catch you crying
Watching through the pane of glass The final silent scenes You became a fading face In morning's half forgotten dream Don't let me catch you crying Just hear the sad breeze sighing
You have You have
You have the first ice of winter I have the first rain of summer You have the sad signs of sorrow I have to leave you tomorrow Words on a torn piece of paper Escape from the window forever Memories don't seem to matter When crushed under heel in the gutter
Oh you have the saddest eyes That I have ever seen Secret sorrows of a heart That breaks so easily Don't let me catch you crying Just hear the sad breeze sighing
You have You have
I wander out along the rain washed streets Blinded with tears And kicking cans Wrecked and wild With an ever-crushing loneliness Feverish and tousled With an ever-crushing love I know I won't find any answers here I know my pleading voice bounds back an echo It ricochets back down the cavernous alley Hey don't be a stranger Sad how misguided and confused We suffer inside Stumbling from one shaky stepping stone To another Reaching out for a blind, blind love Reaching out for a blind, blind love
Small we fall easy prey to self-pity Wishing I was with you on the other side Maybe tomorrow I'll join you in Paradise Maybe tomorrow I'll join you in Paradise
Summer snow oh oh oh oh, falling, falling Snow (sha ooo ha oh) oh oh Warm is the heart of a lover in (summertime ah, summertime ah) Warm is the heart of a lover like a (summer sand oh, summer sand oh) But when she walks in the sun with someone that's new Suddenly summer snow will start to fall on you
Summer snow oh oh oh oh, falling, falling Snow (sha ooo ha oh) oh oh Cold & alone is the feeling when you (walk the shore ah, walk the shore ah) Cold & alone is the feeling when you (kiss some more ah, kiss some more ah) But when she walks in the sun with someone that's new Suddenly summer snow will start to fall on you
Summer snow oh oh oh oh, falling, falling Snow (sha ooo ha oh) oh oh Bright sun, no no no that's not for me Tears Land, white summer for me
Snow oh oh oh oh, falling, falling Snow (sha ooo ha oh) oh oh (Sha ooo ha oh) wo (Sha ooo ha oh) summer snow (Sha ooo ha oh) wo (Sha ooo ha oh) oh ...
You Had To Be There Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Antoine Le Grand Performer(s): Steve Lawrence
You can say I'm lazy, slowly goin' crazy Longin' for a taste of New York air But what's the since of talking, wastin' my breath Cause I guess that you just had to be there
When all the candy was a nickel, people weren't fickel No one had a dime, but did they care Talk about the good times, they were the best But I guess that you just had to be there
A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed And we were happy, happier then So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminisin' NYC is you I'm missin'
Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker Bet we got a million songs to share Laughin' on the outside, slightly depressed Cause you know I'll like to be there, guess you had to be there If I could only be there now
Music interlude
A stick, a ball, a street was all we ever needed And we were happy, happier then So when I die I hope they say he overdosed on reminesin' NYC is you I'm missin'
Give me a New Yorker, any old New Yorker I'll Bet we got a million songs to share Laughin' on the outside, slightly depressed Cause you know I'll like to be there, guess you had to be there If I could only be there now
Summer Sand Composer(s): Russell Brown - Irwin Levine Performer(s): Tony Orlando & Dawn
Tonight I'm yours And you are mine, now But is it love Or just summertime, now? Ooh, the time is right Come hold me tight Let's grab onto the love that we can borrow And let's not hang each other up With words that we'll forget about tomorrow 'Cause the things we write in the summer sand The "I love you"'s and the future plans Disappear, slip right through your hand Like this warm, soft bed of summer sand You got someone And so do I, now Our hearts are locked in So why should we lie, now? Bathe with me in harmony Let's sing our summer song and sing it sweetly For we can't stop the autumn wind that blows away The summer sand completely Yes, the things we write in the summer sand The "I love you"'s and the future plans Disappear, slip right through your hand Like this warm, soft bed of summer sand Oh, the time is right Come hold me tight Let's grab onto the love that we can borrow And let's not hang each other up With words that we'll forget about tomorrow 'Cause the things we write in the summer sands The "I love you"'s and the future plans Disappear, slip right through your hand Like this warm, soft bed of summer sand Things we write in the summer sand The "I love you"'s and the future plans Disappear, slip right through your hand Like this warm, soft bed of summer sand
You Gotta Stop Composer(s): Bill Giant; Bernie Baum; Florence Kaye Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Baby you've been lying to me Now I'm onto you It's the same old song But it doesn't ring true
That's right, you're wrong again Time to change and put you on your own again You've had your way too long Time for me to be moving on
You gotta stop, you're wrong again Stop that song again You've been steppin' out, wild and fancy free Now you've had your fun and you're running back to me It just can't be if there's no harmony Then stop!
That's all, let's break it up You've had me fooled, now I'm wakin' up I see right through your lies You made me open my eyes
You gotta stop, you're wrong again Stop that song again It's too late now, I've made up my mind Being here with you is just a waste of time Nothing to say so I'll be on my way Stop!
(Instrumental Break)
You gotta stop, you're wrong again Stop that song again It's too late now, I've made up my mind Being here with you is just a waste of time It just can't be if there's no harmony Then stop!
Stop, you're wrong again Stop that song again Stop, you're wrong again You gotta stop that song again Stop!
Summer Rain Composer(s): James Hendricks Performer(s): Johnny Rivers
Summer rain taps on my window West wind soft as a sweet dream My love warm as the sunshine Sittin' here by me, she's here by me
She stepped out on the rainbow Golden hair shinin' like moonglow Warm lips soft as a soul Sittin' here by me, yeah, she's here by me
All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand And the jukebox kept on playin' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
We sailed into the sunset Drifted home caught by a gulf stream Never gave a thought for tomorrow Just let tomorrow be, let tomorrow be
She wants to live in the Rockies She says that's where we'll find peace Settle down, raise up a family To call our own, yeah, we'll have a home
All summer long we spent groovin' in the sand Everybody kept on playin' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
Winter snow drifts by my window North wind blowin' like thunder Our love's burnin' like fire And she's here by me, yeah, she's here with me Let tomorrow be
You Gotta S-m-i-l-e To Be H-a-p-p-y Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel Performer(s): Shirley Temple
If something may upset you Don't ever let it get you down Don't wear a frown
If fortune should forsake you Don't ever let it make you sigh Keep shooting high
Be a crooner, not a groaner, never kick Here's a spelling lesson That will do the trick
You've got to S-M-I-L-E To be H-A-double-P-Y Keep it in mind when you're blue It's easy to spell and just as easy to do You gotta S-M-I-L-E It's gonna help considerably Just keep your chin up and give it a try And you'll find silver lined clouds in the sky You've gotta S-M-I-L-E To be H-A-double-P-Y
Ladies and gentlemen, just for fun I'd like to sing this song again The way it would be done, by... Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, and last but not least That swingable pair, Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
You've gotta S-M-I-L-E, oh, like the birdies Birdies, birdies up in the trees Pretty flowers, April showers, my Mammy Life is divine at a quarter to nine You've simply gotta S-M-I-L-E 'Cos potatoes are cheaper you see I won't spend a nickel, I won't spend a sou I just want to spend one hour with you S-M-I-L-E Parkayakarkus with Ida, Mammy!
Summer Rain Composer(s): Robbie Seidman - Maria Vidal First release by: Belinda Carlisle - 1990
Whispering our goodbyes Waiting for a train I was dancing with my baby In the summer rain I can hear him saying Nothing will change Come dancing with me baby In the summer rain
I remember the rain on our skin And his kisses hotter than the Santa Ana winds Whispering our goodbyes Waiting for a train I was dancing with my baby In the summer rain
I remember laughing til we almost cried (There at station that night) I remember looking in his eyes
Oh my love, it's you and that I dream of Oh my love, since that day Somewhere in my heart I'm always Dancing with you in the summer rain
Doesn't matter what I do now Doesn't matter what I say Somewhere in my heart I'm always Dancing with you in the summer rain
I can hear the whistle Military train I was dancing with my baby In the summer rain I can here him singing Ooh "Love Is Strange" Come dance with me baby In the summer rain
I remember the rain pouring down And we poured our hearts out As the train pulled out I can see my baby Waving from the train It was last time that I saw him In the summer rain
Every time I see the lightening Every time I hear the thunder Every time I close the window When this happens in the summer Oh the night is so inviting I can feel that you are so close I can feel you when the wind blows Blows right through my heart
Every night and every day now Though I know you've gone away Somewhere in my heart I'm always Dancing with you in the summer rain

Summer of love Summer of love
I've been wiating for the man Just buzzin' around Downtown Waiting for that very special Comes in to see what I got Orange popsicles and lemonade
It's the summer of love, love, love I'm in love with love, love, love For everyone transcends here I'm thinking of you boy Love energy is giving us a shove Making this the summer of love I said, "I see no clouds ahead"
Summer of love Summer of love
I'm standing in the rain Just feeling the nitty-gritty of the Whole thing Everything is very speical Look in and see what I got Orange popsicles and lemonade
It's the summer of love, love, love I'm in love with love, love, love For everyone transcends here I'm thinking of you boy Love energy is giving us a shove Making this the summer of love I said, "I see no clouds ahead"
It's the summer of love, love, love I'm in love with love, love, love For everyone
