Carolina I Hear You Calling Composer(s): Tom Crain - Charlie Daniels - Joel "Taz" DiGregorio - Fred Edwards - Charlie Hayward - Charlie Marshall Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band
When it's Christmas time in Carolina The kinfolks gather up at Grandma's house And they fill the house with love And they honor God above They remember what the season's all about
It's been ten long years since I've been there with them And I can't face another holiday alone And tonight I'm going back And if this train don't jump the track I'll spend Christmas Eve with all the folks at home
Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair
When I left my home in Carolina I never thought that things would get this far I was only seventeen when I struck out for New Orleans Trying to do or die on my guitar Well I always thought someday I'd be returning But I kept drifting with that same old traveling wind Can I still call you home or have I stayed away too long Carolina would you have me back again
Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair
(Carolina) Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair I can almost touch the mountains in your hair

On a night when bad dreams become a screamer When they're messin' with the dreamer I can laugh it in the face Twist and shout my way out And wrap yourself around me 'Cos I ain't the way you found me And I'll never be the same Oh, yeah Well, 'cos you (Ooh-ho, hoo-ooh, ooh-oo) You make my dreams come true (You-hoo, you, you-hoo, hoo, you, hoo) Well, well, well you (You-hoo, hoo-hoo-ooh) You make my dreams come true (You make my dreams) Come true (You-hoo, you, you-hoo, hoo, you, hoo)

Sun Cycle Composer(s): Dickie Peterson - Leigh Stephens - Peter Wagner Performer(s): Blue Cheer; Bad Vibes
The lady folded Her silver hair Behind her back With the strings of a veil
And cut me a pack Of a famous sword Sharp to East Her magnitude That made the table In an infinite tangle
And then the darkness came And wrapped on velvet feet And here through the window I saw a quickening eye
Reflecting time In the blowing night And pulled the shade To a clear green game And from the visions Riding heavy sea
And from the visions Riding heavy sea That cast the ships Into a sink as man And burn the ringing Don't wanna carry inside
Then the morning came Lapping up the winds From the tainted table That was serving time It's silver spoon That was breathing stars Images flown Like the birds of high Wings in the sun What a blessed sight
You Make Me Feel So Young Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Josef Myrow Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
You make me feel so young You make me feel as though spring has sprung And every time I see you grin I'm such a happy in-div-dual
The moment that you speak I wanna go play hide and seek I wanna go and bounce the moon Just like a toy ballon
You and I are just like a couple of tots Runnin' across the meadow Pickin' up lots of forget me nots
You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung And a wonderful spring to be sprung And even when I'm old and grey I'm gonna feel the way I do today 'Cos you make me feel so young
Sun Come Up Composer(s): Jim Croce - Richard Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Sun come up in the morning Blues round my head I've got a troubled mind and plenty of time to roam As I walk this crooked highway Never knowin' where to go You know the only life I know is bein' on the road
I've got holes in my shoes that I fill with paper When the sun's out they dry And when it rains well they get wet but I don't cry
Because the sun don't know no difference Between a rich man and a bum And the only life I know is movin' round the sky
See him grin down at you people I guess you don't know what his laughter's from But if you spend enough time on the road Maybe you'd find out Because the sun goes round in an endless circle Never knowin' the reason why Still there's something in the path that it traces round the sky It's like a circle with no ending But it's a race we all must run And it's the same bein' a rich man or a bum

My love I'll never find the words, my love To tell you how I feel, my love Mere words could not explain Precious love You held my life within your hands Created everything I am Taught me how to live again

Summertime Promises Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Jack Jones
Those leafy lanes we walked through hand in hand The lazy beach where we just tanned and tanned They're gone just like the lovely plans we planned Summertime promises that's all
The ferris wheel that took us to the moon Has brought us back to earth too soon, too soon What we called love I guess was only June Summertime promises that's all
Only fools trust in holiday romances Only fools cling to summer souvenirs We were fools and like fools we took our chances It was a loveliest summer in years
It's over still it seems like yesterday You said you'd care forever come what may I'm still in love with you but like they say Summertime promises, summertime promises Seldom come true in the fall

As sung Judy Garland: You Made Me Love You (Dear Mr. Gable)
Dear Mr. Gable I am writing this to you and I hope that you will read it so you'll know My heart beats like a hammer and I stutter and I stammer every time I see you at the picture show I guess I'm just another fan of yours and I thought I'd write and tell you so.
You made me love you I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it You made me love you and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad But there were times, sir, you made me feel so sad
You made me sigh 'cause I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you I think you're grand, that's true Yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do I must tell you what I'm feeling The very mention of your name sends my heart reeling You know you made me love you!
Aw, gee, Mr. Gable I don't wanna bother you! Guess you got a lotta girls that tell you the same thing And if you don't wanna read this, well, you don't have to But I just had to tell you about the time I saw you in "It Happened One Night" That was the first time I ever saw you and I knew right then you were the nicest fella in the movies! I guess it was 'cause you acted so, well so natural like not like a real actor at all but just like any fella you'd meet at school or at a party Then one time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford and I had to cry a little 'cause you loved her so much and you couldn't have her not 'till the end of the picture, anyway And then one time I saw you in person You were making a personal appearance at the theatre and I was standing there when you got out of your car and you almost knocked me down! Oh - but it wasn't your fault! Naw, I was in the way But you looked at me, and you smiled Yeah! You smiled right at me as if you meant it and I cried all the way just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way! Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr. Gable Honest You're my favorite actor!
(singing)
I don't care what happens, let the whole world stop As far as I'm concerned, you'll always be the top 'cause you know you made me love you
Summertime Lies Composer(s): A. Hood - R. Loring Performer(s): The Four Preps
You made promises that day and I saw love in your eyes Did you mean them or were they summertime lies When we kissed I held your hand, I believed your tender sighs Were those dreams that we planned summertime lies But now the days hurry by and all of them are blue And every day I wonder why I haven't heard from you Has your love for me grown cold, have we said our last goodbyes I won't believe that you told summertime lies I won't believe that you told summertime lies Summertime lies

I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler About a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar Every time I call my baby, try to get a date My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom and poppa told me, "Son you gotta make some money, If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday" Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick "Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!... I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote" Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
You Made A Fool Of Me Performer(s): The New Inspiration
I found a love A sweet sweet love She made a fool of me I looked with eyes who didn't see What she was doing, Didn't see what she was doing, at all Not at all

The dream is over Over and over There won't be no more singing I only will be thinking of you Who made me happy Sometimes you made me happy But now, no more now
Oh why did you make a fool of me? Oh why did you make a fool of me?
I found a love A sweet sweet love The sweet, sweetest love But she made a fool of me
Oh why did you make a fool of me? Oh why, why, why did you? Make a fool

Je ne veux pas perdre de temps Il y a autre chose sur terre Que travailler pendant l'été Pour gagner une misère Ouais au téléphone quand j'appelle La fille que je préfère Mon patron me dit T'as du travail à faire Parfois je me demande Qui veut m'empêcher De rencontrer la fille de l'été dernier
Elle m'a donné rendez-vous Et j'ai soigné ma coiffure Mais mon père et ma mère M'ont retiré leur voiture Ouais je n'ai pas travaillé J'ai dit que j'étais malade T'as du travail à faire, fils Pas de balade Parfois je me demande Ce que je peux faire Pour retrouver La fille de l'été dernier
Je prendrai le premier train Je n'attendrai pas l'été Et j'enverrai tous mes problèmes Au bureau de l'Elysée Ouais j'ai vu le président Il avait l'air étonné J'aimerais t'aider Mais tu es trop jeune pour voter Parfois je me demande Ce qu'il y a de pire que de vouloir aimer Une fille en été

You Light Up My Life Composer(s): Joe Brooks Performer(s): Debby Boone; and various other artists
So many nights I sit by my window Waiting for someone to sing me his song So many dreams I kept deep inside me Alone in the dark but now You've come along
You light up my life You give me hope To carry on You light up my days and fill my nights with song
Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water Could it be finally I'm turning for home? Finally, a chance to say hey, I love You Never again to be all alone
You light up my life You give me hope To carry on You light up my days and fill my nights with song
You light up my life You give me hope To carry on You light up my days and fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong When it feels so right 'Cause You You light up my life
