All The Way From America
Composer(s): Joan Armatrading
Performer(s): Joan Armatrading



You called all the way from America and said
"Hang on to love, Girl"
But the weeks and the months and the tears passed by
And my eyes couldn't stand the strain
Of that promised love 
All the way from America

You called all the way from America and said
"I'll soon be home, Girl"
But the years and the tears and the fears passed by
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
Of that promised love
All the way from America
All the way from America

I stayed all alone and I waited `round
For you to knock at my door
But the knock never came, and no ring at all
And now I sit and wonder why
You made that first call
All the way from America

I don't believe I'll stay here
I don't think I want to wait here anymore
And if you search for me, Baby
Better bring some more love
Than you declared
All the way from America

La Croisière Des Souvenirs
(Adapted from: Sea Cruise - 1959)
Composer(s): Huey Smith; Long Chris, Pierre Billon
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1977



On va faire un tour sur le boulevard du rock'n'roll
À cinq dans la TR3, il faudra que ça décolle
Et le rictus d'Elvis sera mon seul sourire
Pour faire la croisière de mes souvenirs

Oh oui! Souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs
Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs
Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir
Un clin d'œil à Jim et be bop a lula

Sors le transistor au bord d'un terrain vague
Rallume une Lucky et regarde ma bague
La tête de mort aux yeux qui brillent
C'est ça la croisière de mes souvenirs

Oh oui! Souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs
Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs
Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir
Un clin d'œil à Jim et be bop a lula

On va faire un tour sur le boulevard du rock'n'roll
Accompagné de Little Richard et des folles
Et de Jerry Lee et Buddy Holly
Pour faire la croisière de mes souvenirs

Oh oui! Souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs
Oh oui! Souvenirs
Partons en croisière sur mes souvenirs
Ressors ton vieux jeans et ton blouson noir
Un clin d'œil à Jim et be bop a lula

Ouais
Be bop a lula she's my baby
Be bop a lula I don't mean maybe
Be bop a lula she's my baby
Partons en croisière sur nos souvenirs

Be bop a lula she's my baby
Be bop a lula she's my baby

Partons en croisière sur nos souvenirs
Souvenirs, ouais, souvenirs
Je t'attendrai là, là, jusqu'à minuit

Slow As Christmas
Composer(s): Clint Black; Hayden Nicholas
Performer(s): Clint Black


You're as slow as Christmas, I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it, or is that old saying wrong
Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long
What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone

I've heard old sayin's, old clichés, and most o' them make sense
But we're wiser in our younger days, not easily convinced
There's no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes
It seems that Santa's sled isn't the only thing that flies

You're as slow as Christmas, I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it, or is that old saying wrong
Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long
What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone

We're bringin' in another year, let's throw that old one back
A fine new train, I'll be the engineer and hurry down the track
While I know that time is standin' still, I hear that old cliché
And I'm more convinced it does until that one December day

When I'm as slow as Christmas, I'll be up before the dawn
I'm not gonna miss this, I know that old saying's wrong
Ev'ry Christmas Day makes ev'ry other day seem long
What seemed would never get here has so quickly come and gone
Come and gone

Sleepy Head
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers



Sleepy Head, come on, get out of bed
Ain't you heard the rooster crow? 
Must've been a week ago
Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

Sleepy Head, see the sun so bright and red?
He's been up and ridin' high, but you just let the time go by
Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

Sleepy Head, I'd take away that bed
But you're such a lazy pup, you'd be sleeping standing up
Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

Sleepy Head, underworked and over fed
Gonna sleep the day away, "But this is such a sleepy day
"I wanna be a Sleepy Head"

Sleepy Head, got to get you out of bed
"You just stand around and shout until you get me tuckered out
I'm bound to be a Sleepy Head"

Big boy, don't you know today is Sunday?
That's no day to lay around and doze
"Sunday is the day I sleep til Monday 
That's the way I save my go-to-meetin' clothes"

Sleepy Head, you're gonna be a long time dead
Gabriel's gonna blow his horn, but you won't hear it if it's morn
Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

"I heard you!" Good-for-nothing Sleepy Head

Sea Child
Composer(s): Jorma Kaukonen
Performer(s): Hot Tuna



Daily things fall off like water
falling down like summer rain
We see each other in confusion
Wonder why we came today
Sittin' lonely in our prison
lookin' out for ways to sail
What we'd be without confusion
in our less uncommon way
Through your hair across my eyes
the twilight shafts in soft surprise
Reminds me once again how nice
it is to be with you

Sea Change
Composer(s): Peter Tork
Performer(s): Peter Tork



I drank your deep sea water
Kneeling at your shore
Felt your changes in my body
Came crawling back for more

Screeching seagulls, moaning whales
Dare me to exist
Do I enter Mother Ocean
Do I dare resist?

I give up 
I surrender to your charms
Take me down into your depths
And let me drown in your arms

Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down

Shape me, bend me to your will
Only give me time
To learn to seek your will for me
And to ease your mind

And I will do my best for you
Each moment that I'm able
I only want to please you
As I lie here in your cradle

Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down

Let the ocean waters wreak their
Darkness black as coal

Drown the old me, make me over
Claim my soul

Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down

Sleigh Bell Serenade
Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Bing Crosby


When your nose is all a tingle
And you're glidin' down the glade
Can't you hear the jolly jingle
Of the sleigh bell serenade

Every tree's a frozen statue
In a winter masquerade
And the moon is winking at you
'Tis a sleigh bell serenade

In the summer on a hay ride, night or day ride
You can pass the cider jug
But in the winter, every sleigh ride is a gay ride
You can sneak a hug `neath the old bear rug

All the world's a wide umbrella
For a fella and his mate
What a lovely night to tell her
'Tis a sleigh bell serenade

(When your nose is all a tingle)
(And you're glidin' down the glade)
Can't you hear the jolly tingle
Of the sleigh bell serenade

Every tree's a frozen statue
In a winter masquerade
And the moon is winking at you
'Tis a sleigh bell serenade

(In the dunder on a hay ride, night or day ride)
(You can pass the cider jug)
Ah, but in the winter, every sleigh ride is a gay ride
You can sneak a hug `neath the old bear rug

(All the world's a wide umbrella)
For a fella and his mate
What a lovely night to tell her
'Tis a sleigh bell serenade

(What a lovely night to tell her)

'Tis a sleigh bell serenade

Sea Breeze
Composer(s): James Joiner
Performer(s): Jim Reeves



I saw a ship a-sailing
On the ocean blue
I ran right down to the ocean side
In hopes that it was you
 
So long ago you left me 
To sail to a foreign land
But when that ship went sailing by
My hopes dropped to the sand
 
Sea breeze, ocean wave
Bring my lover please
Turn her sails toward my heart
And bring her back to me
 
The rising sun reminds me
Of the day she had to go
She set her sails to the morning tide
And filled my heart with woe
 
She told me when she left me
She'd sail to many shores
But her heart, her dreams, would always be
With the one that she loved so
 
Sea breeze, ocean wave
Bring my lover please
Turn her sails toward my heart
Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me
Bring her back to me

Sleep Well, Little Children

Performer(s): The Carpenters
and multiple other artists



Sleep well, little children
Wherever you are
Tomorrow is Christmas
Beneath every star

Soon the snowflakes will fall
And tomorrow you'll see
Every wish, one and all
Waiting under the tree

Sleep well, little children
Pleasant dreams through the night
Tomorrow is Christmas
All merry and bright

Soon you'll hear the bells ring
Time for dreams to come true
As the world wakes to bring
Merry Christmas to you

and multiple other artists



Ya se va Diciembre
ya es año nuevo
paz y bendiciones
vienen del cielo

Dejame quererte mas
dejame vivir contigo
las ultimas horas
de esta noche buena

Ya llego La Navidad
ya llego la madrugada
ya se va la noche
con su luna llena

Dejame quererte mas
siente que este dia divino
tu me quieres tanto
como yo te quiero

Siente que me das la vida
siente que te quema el alma
que te quema el alma
mi calor sincero

Que bonita es la mañana
la mañana navideña
yo en tus brazos
tu en mi vida

Que bonito es mi cariño
un cariño verdadero
sin maldad
y sin mentiras

Dejame quererte mas
dejame cerrar tus ojos
y morder tus labios
mientras cae la nieve

Piensa que se acaba todo
piensa que se van los años
que se va la vida
que se va diciembre...

Ya se va diciembre
ya es año nuevo
paz y bendiciones
vienen del cielo...

Sleep Softly Now
Composer(s): Ritson


I saw a sweet, a seemly sight
A blissful burd, a blossom bright
That morning made and mirth among 
A maiden mother meek and mild 
In cradle keep a knave child
That softly slept; she sat and sung
Lullay, lulla balow
My bairn, sleep softly now

Se Va
Composer(s): Miguel Gallardo
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Se va, y se lleva en la maleta
tantos sueños, tantas metas
que te prometió ayer
Se va, diciendo que está cansado
que no puede estar atado
siempre a la misma mujer
Se va, y te deja abandonada
esperando la llegada
del hijo que llevas de él
Se va, y se aparta de tu lado
como un cobarde asustado
diciendo que va a volver
No te rompas el alma mujer
que no vale la pena
no derrames tu llanto por él
que no vale la pena
y abre tu corazón
a la luz de ese amor
que en tu vientre ya espera
Se va, y te crees que el mundo acaba
que vivir no vale nada
y que vas a enloquecer
Se va, y encontrarás la alegría
y la fuerza cada día
para saber lo que hacer
Se va, te entregaste como eres
sin reservas, ni papeles
y la vida te engañó
Se va, y es mejor perder a tiempo
que guardar un sentimiento
que no existe entre los dos
No te rompas el alma mujer
que no vale la pena
no derrames tu llanto por él
que no vale la pena
y abre tu corazón
a la luz de ese amor
que en tu vientre ya espera
No te rompas amiga por él
que no vale la pena
no te creas que quiere volver
ya no vale la pena
vuelve a ser la mujer
con coraje y valor
que hace tiempo tú eras

All The Things You Are
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Jerome Kern
First performance by: Hiram Sherman, Frances Mercer, Hollis Shaw, Ralph Stuart
Covered by multiple other artists



Time and again I've longed for adventure
Something to make my heart beat the faster
What did I long for? I never really knew
Finding your love I've found my adventure
Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster
All that I want in all of this world is you

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song
You are the angel glow that lights a star
The dearest things I know are what you are
Some day my happy arms will hold you
And some day I'll know that moment divine
When all the things you are, are mine!

Se Tu Sei Cielo
Composer(s): Luisa Zappa; Angelo Branduardi
Performer(s): Angelo Branduardi



Se tu sei cielo è a te che tornerò e sul tuo seno le ali piegherò...
Per il mio sonno sei notte e sole al mattino e tiepida pioggia sulla terra che ho
Se tu sei vento vento di mare... prima tempesta e poi riparo
Il tuo passo leggero mi segue sulla via, sei tu che cammini sulla terra che ho
Se tu sei tempo con me tu passerai, bella stagione, profumo mi darai...
e vendemmia per noi l'autunno che verrà, poi le foglie cadranno sulla terra che ho
Ma tu sei cielo e a te io tornerò e del tuo seno il nido mi farò...
sei la strada accogliente che il mio passo sa già e sei vento, sei tempo, sei la terra che ho

Six White Boomers
Composer(s): Rolf Harris; John D. Brown
Performer(s): Rolf Harris; The Fleshtones; Frosty & the Snowmen



Early on one Christmas Day, a Joey Kanga-roo 
Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo 
Mummy, where's my mummy, they've taken her a-way 
We'll help you find your mummy son, hop on the sleigh 

Up beside the bag of toys, little Joey hopped 
But they had'nt gone far when Santa stopped 
Un-harnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why 
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky

Six white boomers, snow white boomers 
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun 
Six white boomers, snow white boomers 
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run 

Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat 
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet 
Into one popped Joey, feeling quite OK 
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh 

Joey said to Santa, Santa, what about the toys 
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys 
They've all got their presents son, we were here last night 
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight 

Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar 
Slow down there, cried Santa, it can't be far 
Come up on my lap son, and have a look around 
There she is, that's mummy, bounding up and down 

Well that's the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had 
Curled up in mother's pouch all snug and glad 
The last they saw was Santa headed northward from the sun 
The only year the boomers worked a double run
 
								

Se Tu Non Fossi Bella Come Sei
Composer(s): Vito Pallavicini; Locatelli
Performer(s): Fred Bongusto



Se tu non fossi bella come sei
se tu sapessi piangere per me
io non avrei pietà, so che ti lascerei

Se tu sapessi bene ciò che vuoi
se tu guardassi bene gli occhi miei
non t'amerei così tanto

So che sarei lontano
mai più ti cercherei
se tu non fossi bella come sei

Io non avrei pietà
so che ti lascerei

Se tu sapessi bene ciò che vuoi
se tu guardassi solo gli occhi miei
non t'amerei così tanto

So che sarei lontano
mai più ti cercherei
se tu non fossi bella come sei

Come sei! 

Six Tons Of Toys
Composer(s): Dave Dudley
Performer(s): Dave Dudley; Paul Brandt


At the old north pole
Got my rig all loaded with toys
Got a sack full of goodies
For good little girls and boys
Big dipper lookin' so bright
Milky way traffic is light

For the girls and boys tonight

Got the same ol' sleigh
And good ol' reindeer power
Got no speed zones
Yeah we're makin' the zero hour
Everything's lookin' so white
Housetop's comin' into sight
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight

Well it's been a whole year
Since we've been down this way
So on Christmas eve
We overload the sleigh
Everything will be alright
No I.C.C. in sight
Got six tons of toys
For the girls and boys tonight

Se Tu Mi Tenti
Composer(s): Gianni Bella; Mogol Audio 2
Performer(s): Adriano Celentano



L'amore inquina e ti rovina
la distorsione negli occhi tuoi
tu vedi tutto che si allontana
e solamente lei negli occhi hai

E' un rigoroso comandamento
giocare si, unirsi mai
andiamo piano col sentimento
fidarsi poco e sempre meglio ma...

Non ce la faccio se tu mi tenti
non vedo gli altri quasi son trasparenti
io mi innamoro, che mal di denti
ormai mi possiedi, dalla testa ai piedi

Non ce la faccio se tu mi intrighi
anche se so quanto l'amore lo paghi
tu scherzi, ridi e poi tu preghi
la fine e quella, purtroppo, sai

Ti sembra bello, si per un po'
poi cambia tutto al primo no
c'e un emozione che ti scoppia il cuore
seguito spesso poi da un gran dolore

Non ce la faccio se tu mi tenti
non vedo gli altri quasi son trasparenti
io mi innamoro, che mal di denti
ormai mi possiedi, dalla testa ai piedi

Se ti guardo
m'incanto, tu lo sai
ed è per questo
che così sicura sei
Se è il mio destino
oppure no?
Ne ho dubbio io
morirò...

Non ce la faccio se tu mi tenti
non vedo gli altri quasi son trasparenti
io mi innamoro, che mal di denti
Non ce la faccio se tu mi tenti
non vedo gli altri quasi son trasparenti
io mi innamoro, che mal di denti
ormai mi possiedi, dalla testa ai piedi

Non ce la faccio se tu mi intrighi
anche se so quanto l'amore lo paghi
tu scherzi, ridi e poi tu preghi
Non ce la faccio se tu mi tenti
non vedo gli altri quasi son trasparenti
io mi innamoro, che mal di denti
