Summerday Sands
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



I once met a girl with the life in her hands
and we lay together on the summerday sands
I gave her my raincoat and told her, "Lady, be good!"
And we made truth together, where no one else would
I smiled through her fingers and ran the dust through her hands
the hour-glass of reason on the summerday sands

We sat as the sea caught fire
Waited as the flames grew higher in her eyes, in her eyes
We watched the eagle born
wings clipped, tail feathers shorn, but we saw him rise
we saw him rise over summerday sands

Came the ten o'clock curfew
She said, "I must start my car
I'm staying with someone I met last night in a bar"
I called from my wave top:"At least tell me your name!"
She smiled from her wheelspin and said, "It's all the same"
I thought for a minute, jumped back on dry land
left one set of footprints on the summerday sands
I once met a girl with the life in her hands
and we lied together on the summerday sands

Summer, Highland Falls
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
and multiple other artists



They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria

And so we argue and we compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience, our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason co-exists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
And so we'll stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria

You Keep Running Away
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier; 
Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): The Four Tops; Chuck Jackson



You're here today and gone tomorrow 
Leave this heart of mine in sorrow 
Then you come around every now and then 
Long enough to hurt me then you're gone again 

Darlin you keep running away 
Well I begged you not to leave but you never stay 
Now you, you keep running away 
Leavin me here to face another lonely day 

To you all of this is just a game 
Well each time you leave I feel the pain 
But I've got so much love for you 
I keep wanting you no matter what you do 

All I want to do is take care of you 
Everything I have in my life 
I will share with you 
This soul of mine has been processed by you 

Darling my heart has been obsessed with you 
Just look at me, I'm not the man I used to be 
I used to be proud, I used to be strong 
But all of that's changed girl since you come along 

Your lovin sweetness is my weakness 
Boy I need you, dear
I just can't keep you near 
Each time you go the hurt comes callin'

My days become nights, darlin 
My nights become so much longer 
You're in my life, you're in my heart 
But I can't get you 
Get you into my arms 
Darlin, you keep runnin away ......

Cabin In The Valley
Composer(s): Kix Brooks - Kenny "Boudro" Gray
Performer(s): Brooks & Dunn



Today I climbed the hillside with the snowcapped evergreens
Stared down in the valley at a Christmas memory
Saw a young boy in a cabin hang a stockin' on a peg
Peace on Earth was ours down in the valley

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire ablazin', all the family's gathered 'round
There was nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

Mama still still plays carols on those worn out ivory keys
And Papa's hooked his old team up to fetch the Christmas tree
I watch my boy climb on a limb, shakin' loose the mistletoe
Just the way I did not so long ago

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire ablazin', all the family's gathered 'round
Well, there's nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

Christmas dinner's cookin', the turkey's golden brown
There's a big old fire ablazin', all the family's gathered 'round
Well, There's nothin' quite as pretty in the cities or the towns
As my cabin in the valley when the snow is on the ground

You Keep Me Hangin' On
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier;
Eddie Holland; Brian Holland
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes;
and various other artists



Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out of my life, why don't you babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hanging' on

Why do you keep a coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me

Set me free, why don't you babe
Let me be, why don't you babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging' on
Now you don't really want me
You just keep me hanging' on

You say although we broke up
You still want to be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there ain't nothing I can do about it

Woo, set me free, why don't you babe
Woo, get out my life, why don't you babe
Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out my life, why don't you babe

You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You want to still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else
Hey!

Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging' on...

(Nancy):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

(Lee):
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(Nancy):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

(Lee):
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(Nancy):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

(Lee):
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

(Nancy):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine 

You Keep Coming Back Like A Song
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Can't run away from you, dear
I've tried so hard but I fear
You'll always follow me near and far
Just when I think that I'm set
Just when I've learned to forget
I close my eyes, dear, and there you are

You keep coming back like a song
A song that keeps saying, remember

The sweet used-to-be
That was once you and me
Keeps coming back like an old melody

The perfume of roses in May
Returns to my room in December

From out of the past where forgotten things belong
You keep coming back like a song

(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

(Elle:)
Enlève ton gilet et ta bourse dorée...

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

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 Hurt Me
Performer(s): Little Willie John



Last night you told me
That we were through
And all the time, I thought
That your love was true

You-ooo hurt me, you hurt me so
You know you hurt me
When you let me go

You always told me
We'd never, ever part
But now you turn around
And break my loving heart

You hurt me, you hurt me so
You know you hurt me
When you let me go

I'm beggin', please come back to me!
A life is now at stake
An' if you don't soon return
You're gonna drive me to my grave

You hurt me, you hurt me so
You know you hurt me
When you let me go
Umm

(Instrumental & guitar)

I'm beggin', please come back to me!
A life is now at stake
If you don't soon return
You're gonna drive me to my grave

You hurt me, you hurt me so
You know you hurt me
When you let me go

Ooh, you hurt me
You hurt me
You hurt me so

You know you hurt me
When you let me go

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

Performer(s): Lou Christie



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

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
