Sittin' On The Front Porch Swing Composer(s): Buddy Sheffield Performer(s): Dolly Parton
I remember a time when the bloom was on the cotton When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallow on the wing When our cares which were already few, were soon forgotten Sittin' on the front porch swing
Oh, we'd sit every Sunday and watch the married ladies And we'd dream of white dresses and church bells in the spring And they'd talk and paint their nails while they let us hold their babies Sittin' on the front porch swing
Where was I when the time came to join the married ladies Why did I paint the nail when the finger had no ring Why do I sit at my age and long to hold their babies Sittin, on the front porch swing
When the mind longs to follow, but the memory erases And the lips form the words that the heart no longer sings When the leaves in the hollow have been dyed to match our faces Sittin' on the front porch swing
Oh we'll dream of the time when the bloom was on the cotton When our hearts chased the clouds like the swallow on the wing But the words to the rhyme are not the only things forgotten Sittin' on the front porch swing Sittin' on the front porch swing
Picture This Composer(s): Jimmy Destri; Debbie Harry; Chris Stein Performer(s): Blondie
All I want is a room with a view A sight worth seeing, a vision of you All I want is a room with view, oh-oh I will give you my finest hour The one I spent watching you shower I will give you my finest hour, oh yeah

All I want is 20-20 vision A total portrait with no omissions All I want is a vision of you, oh-oh If you can picture this - a day in December Picture this - freezing cold weather You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids If it weren't for your job at the garage If you could only oh-oh Picture this - a sky full of thunder Picture this - my telephone number One and one is what I'm telling you Get a pocket computer Try to do what you used to do yeah

Picture In Your Mind Composer(s): Larry Knechtel Performer(s): Bread
Used to be my pleasure When I'd wake up in the morning Just to open my eyes and see you Just to find you were lying there But mornings now they seem to be an everyday affair I'm just a picture in the memory of your mind
All I ever wanted Every dream that I've ever cherished Was to share in a kind of magic That only lovers ever share All you ever offered me Was the moment then and there I'm just a picture in your mind
I used to want you, oh how badly did I want you I could not stand the hunger I used to stay awake at night and think of nothing but you And when I would awake to find you lying there beside me It made me so damn happy I couldn't satisfy my craziness for you
Now the spell is broken And my dreams they've all turned to ashes But I still have a love for living By loving you I've only just begun Love is never easy when it's given just by one I'm just a picture in your mind
I used to want you, oh how badly did I want you I could not stand the hunger I used to lie awake at night and think of nothing but you And when I would awake to find you lying there beside me It made me so damn happy, babe I couldn't satisfy my craziness for you
Found a few more answers And I'm ready for tomorrow But I still have to stop and wonder If I've learned anything from what we've done Love is never easy when it's given just by one I'm just a picture in your mind Picture in your mind

Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time

Der Himmel lacht wie mein Herz, wenn du lieb zu mir bist Es bluhen Blumen, wo sonst nur der Strassenstaub ist Ein Vogel singt fur uns beide in Moll und in Dur Bonjour, bonjour
Die Welt ist wunderbar, sie kann nicht schöner sein Und sie gehört nur den Verliebten allein
Bonjour, bonjour, es ist Schön, dich mal wiederzusehen Bonjour, bonjour, nur bei dir scheint die Sonne so schön Was ich erlebe mit dir, das ist alles l'amour Bonjour, bonjour

Die Welt ist wunderbar, sie kann nicht schöner sein Und sie gehört nur den Verliebten allein
Bonjour, bonjour, sagt das Gluck, und es kommt zu uns zwei'n In deinen Armen flieg' ich in den Himmel hinein Wenn ich auch weiß', fur mich bleibt nach der glucklichen Zeit Nur Einsamkeit
Bonsoir, bonsoir, es war schön dich mal wiederzusehen Fallt's mir auch schwer, so verliebt auseinanderzugehen Ich traum' von dir, bis du kommst und dann sage ich nur Bonjour, bonjour

Judy Min Vän Composer(s): Britt Lindeborg; Roger Wallis First performance by: Tommy Körberg - 1969
Judy min vän vad du är tankfull Varför Judy min vän? Judy min vän du är tyst och sorgsen Varför Judy min vän? Börjar du inse nu att vi båda jag och du Kanske aldrig kan bli lyckliga tillsammans Judy min vän
Judy min vän du älskar saker, villa TV och bil Din väg är kantad av lyx och prylar Det är inte min stil Våra mönster går isär låt mig säga det såhär Jag kan aldrig bli den man som du behöver Judy min vän
Gudarna, ja låt mig förklara Lever för stunden när drömmarna varar Detta är min filosofi, jag vill jämt känna Jag är fri
Judy min vän din dröm om pengar tycks mig liten och trång Vi drömmer drömmen om gröna ängar vinterns lek och en sång
Kanske jag ändrar mig Då hörs jag av Då ska jag presentera mig som din mister medel-Svensson
Judy min vän där går vår korsning kanske ses vi igen, då får vi se vad livet har gjort med oss Judy min vän
Gudarna, ja låt mig förklara, Lever för stunden när drömmarna varar Detta är min filosofi, jag vill jämt känna Jag är fri
Judy min vän där går vår korsning kanske ses vi igen, då får vi se vad livet har gjort med oss Judy min vän
Pick Yourself Up Composer(s): Dorothy Fields; Jerome Kern Performer(s): Fred Astaire
(He) Please teacher, teach me something Nice teacher, teach me something I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst My two feet haven't met yet But I'll be teacher's pet yet 'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst
(She) Nothing's impossible I have found For when my chin is on the ground I pick myself up Dust myself off Start all over again
Don't lose your confidence if you slip Be grateful for a pleasant trip And pick yourself up Dust yourself off Start all over again
Work like a soul inspired Till the battle of the day is won You may be sick and tired But you'll be a man, my son!
Will you remember the famous men Who had to fall to rise again? So take a deep breath Pick yourself up Dust yourself off Start all over again
(He) I'll get some self assurance If your endurance is great I'll learn by easy stages If you're courageous and wait
To feel the strength I want to I must hang on to your hand Maybe by the time I'm fifty I'll get up and do a nifty
(Both) Nothing's impossible I have found For when my chin is on the ground I pick myself up Dust myself off Start all over again
Don't lose your confidence if you slip Be grateful for a pleasant trip And pick yourself up Dust yourself off Start all over again
Work like a soul inspired Till the battle of the day is won You may be sick and tired But you'll be a man, my son!
Will you remember the famous men Who had to fall to rise again? So take a deep breath Pick yourself up Dust yourself off Start all over again

If you are wonderin' What I'm gonna do While you are sleepin' Am I sleepin', too? Well, I'm just sittin' here lovin' you Closin' my eyes and lovin' you I'm just sittin' back Sittin' here lovin' you
I have been wonderin' Just what I would do If I weren't sleepin' Had I not found you I'd be outside findin' you Walkin' on the avenue findin' you But I'm just sittin' back Sittin' here lovin' you
Now the reason that you never see me runnin' `round Fingers on my forehead couldn't calm me down She can't even get me up, on my feet When I got to take care of some bus'ness on the street
I have been walkin' All my streets alone I would keep walkin' To keep from goin' home I couldn't quite barely conceive of you Now I can't conceive of ever leavin' you 'Cause I'm just sittin' back Sittin' here lovin' you
I have been walkin' All my streets alone I could keep walkin' To keep from going home I couldn't quite barely conceive of you Now I can't conceive of ever leavin' you 'Cause I'm just sittin' back Sittin' here lovin' you
Pick Me Up And Lay Me Down In Dear Old Dixieland Composer(s): Bert Kalmar; Harry Ruby
One day I watched a flock of whippoor wills as they flew to their homes across the hills they were merrily flying, to the south I knew and I couldn't help crying; "Take me there with you!"
Bring me down there beneath the Southern sky sing me one little Dixie lullabye there's a candle light burning down old Dixie way tell the folks that I'm yearning for them night and day
Pick me up, and lay me down in dear old Dixieland the sun shines there each morn that's where the sun was born My heart's been all wrapped up in that land of magic charms carry me back to someone's empty arms Keep those darkies singing, till I get back to that ivy clinging ram shackle shack Pick me up just like my mammy lead me by the hand, and lay me down in dear old Dixie land
De Troubadour
Composer(s): David Hartsema - Lenny Kuhr
First release by: Lenny Kuhr - 1969
Hij zat zo boordevol muziek, hij zong voor groot en klein publiek Hij maakte blij, melancholiek, de troubadour Voor ridders in de hoge zaal zong hij in stoere, sterke taal Een lang en bloederig verhaal, de troubadour Maar ook 't werkvolk uit de schuur hoorde zijn lied vol avontuur Hoorde bij 't nachtelijke vuur, de troubadour, de troubadour En in de herberg van de stad zong hij een drinklied op 't nat Voor die nog staan kon en die zat, de troubadour, de troubadour
La lalalaa lala lailala lailala Laa lalalailalalaa La lalalaa lala lailala lailala Laa lalalailalalaa
Hij zong in 't klooster stil zijn lied van een mirakel dat geschied Ook als geen mens 't wonder ziet, de troubadour Van vrouwen in fluweel of grijs zong hij de harten van de wijs Zijn liefdeslied ging mee op reis, de troubadour Hij zong voor boeren op 't land een kerelslied van eigen hand Hij was van elke rang en stand, de troubadour, de troubadour Zo zong hij heel z'n leven lang zijn eigen lied, zijn eigen zang Toch gaat de dood gewoon zijn gang, de troubadour, de troubadour Toen werd 't stil, het lied was uit, enkel wat modder tot besluit Maar wie getroost werd door zijn lied vergeet 'm niet Want hij zat zo boordevol muziek, hij zong voor groot en klein publiek Hij maakte blij, melancholiek, de troubadour
Ohoh
La lalalaa lala lailala lailala Laa lalalailalalaa La lalalaa lala lailala lailala Laa lalalailalalaa

Little man
Quando sei qui con me io so che non mi devo più nascondere
Preghero
Solo che io sia li li con te quando il sol potrai raggiungere
Piccolo ragazzo tu corri sul mio prato
Piccolo ragazzo tu canti e ti ho sentito
Diventerai
Un uomo che capirà la verità
E sarai libero
Accenderai
La luce che c'è dentro me perchè io
Voglio credere
Piccolo ragazzo tu corri sul mio prato
Piccolo ragazzo tu canti e ti ho sentito
Tu ed io
Siamo noi solo noi quello che
Io vedo intorno a me
Little man
Tu lo sai ma tu sai anche che
Qualun'altro c'è
Piccolo ragazzo tu corri sul mio prato
Piccolo ragazzo tu canti e ti ho sentito
Piccolo ragazzo tu corri sul mio prato
Piccolo ragazzo ...
