You Are Summer - You Never Tell Me No Composer(s): Monica Dominique; Carl-Axel Dominique; Lars Forsell First performance by: Nova - 1973
Monday morning - the streets are black with rain Under a skylight hovers sad and grey Tuesday waits down the endless dreary day And every day is like the other day
I have you and I long for your carress Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling You're the Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer is glowing you Summer, since knowing you You are Summer, you never tell me no Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer, you never tell me no
Times are stale and the days are long and slow There is no song can make me laugh and swing Half past four, I pack up and home I go Home to the point and fear the evenings bring
I have you and I long for your carress Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling You're the Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer is glowing you Summer, since knowing you You are Summer, you never tell me no Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer, you never tell me no
I have you and I long for your carress Oh... your breasts are like swallows in nestling You're the Summer, life grows in you Summer, wind blows in you Summer is glowing you Summer, since knowing you You are Summer, you never tell me no You are Summer, you never tell me no
Play Guitar Play Composer(s): Conway Twitty Performer(s): Conway Twitty; Charley Pride
Play, guitar play Take me back to yesterday Let me see, cotton growing, in the fields Let me hear, my momma calling Look a-yonder ya-all who's coming Down the road, he's a coming home But they know I never will
I left them living with that awful thing I done I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run
Play, guitar play Help me through another day Help me make another dollar, before I go We got time, for one more song Then we'll have to move along Another town, another crowd Lord I wonder if they know
Can they read between the lines in my song As I sing about a good boy that's went wrong Guitar we got years to kill We got to climb that distant hill I wonder if they think of me Guitar play
Sleepy Hollow Composer(s): Harold G. Frost; Lemuel Fowler; Henri Klickmann
Sweetheart, I've been dreaming of a by gone day When you said you loved me so Silv'ry stars are gleaming just to light my way Seems they know that I want to go
Underneath the willow 'neath a sky of blue While the moonlight softly beams I will make my pillow while I dream of you Once again I will stroll in dreams
Back to Sleepy Hollow, Sleepy Hollow Where I first met you I'll dream again, all the dream we knew I'll dream again dear, of your sweet eyes of blue In the shadows falling you are calling As you used to do While the mem'ries follow "Sleepy Hollow" Where I first met you
Play A Simple Melody Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Bing Crosby; and various other artists
Won't you play some simple melody Like my mother sang to me One with a good old-fashioned harmony Play some simple melody
Musical demon, set your honey a-dreaming, won't you play me some rag Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy you'll get all my applause And that is simply because I want to listen to rag
Won't you play some simple melody (Musical demon, set your honey a-dreaming, won't you play me some rag) Like my mother sang to me (Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag) One with a good old-fashioned harmony (If you will play from a copy of a tune that is choppy, you'll get all my applause) Play some simple melody (And that is simply because I want to listen to rag)
Tu Te Reconnaîtras (Dutch Version: Vuur En Vlam - 1995) Composer(s): Claude Morgan; Vline Buggy First performance by: Anne-Marie David - 1973
Dans les rêves De l'enfance Dans l'élève Que le maître a puni Dans la gare ou commence La première aventure de la vie Dans celui qui doute Dans celui qui croit
Tu verras tu te reconnaîtras à chaque instant Dans chaque joie Dans chaque larme
Tu verras tu te reconnaîtras Dans cet enfant parmi ces gens Tout comme toi
Dans les rêves De l'artiste Que la gloire n'a jamais couronné Dans le monde Egoiste Qui renie ce qu'il a adoré Dans ceux qui ont peur Dans ceux qui ont froid
Tu verras tu te reconnaîtras Dans cet amour Que j'ai pour toi Oui tu verras Tu te reconnaîtras
El infierno esta vacío yo lo sé, yo estuve allí los demonios andan sueltos por aquí Vamos todos contra todos como en peregrinación al Dios dinero cantando esta canción
Plata o mierda, dice el cura plata o mierda, dice el juez plata o mierda, el policía la única opción es hoy tener plata o mierda no hay otra es ganar o perder porque tener es más que ser
Hoy la vida ya no tiene más sentido ni valor nos inyectan solo dudas y temor Hitler vive Elvis vive y el suicida no murió todos ríen y cantan a viva voz
Plata o mierda, el senador plata o mierda, el dictador esta historia la conozco y está cada vez peor plata o mierda no hay chance es ganar o perder porque tener es más que ser
Puede ser Krishnamurti Puede ser William Blake algo de sufi, algo de Zen hay tanto que hacer San Agustín de día de noche Proust o Nietzche pobre alma mía sola y vacía y tanto que hacer...
Yo sé que hay algo más Dios dinero, deja ya de gobernar... basta ya... Plata o mierda, en la prisión y en la zona de exclusión plata o mierda en todas partes en el fútbol y en el rock plata o mierda no hay otra es ganar o perder porque tener es más que ser porque tener es más que ser y no puede ser yo solo quiero ser oh, nena quiero ser yo solo quiero ser...
Vuur En Vlam (Adapted from: Tu Te Reconnaîtras - 1973) Composer(s): Claude Morgan; Vline Buggy; Jo De Clercq Wendy Van Wanten - 1995
In de droom van elk meisje Komt een prins en die neemt haar dan mee Op z'n paard en dan reis je Naar zijn land in de zon aan de zee Maar soms worden dromen Toch werkelijk waar
Vuur en vlam Toen ik je tegenkwam Van kop tot teen Dwars door me heen Toen jij verscheen
Vuur en vlam Toen ik jou tegenkwam Als een orkaan Niet te weerstaan Kwam jij er aan
Wat ik zie in jou ogen Wat ik hoor in de klant van je stem Is een gift van de goden Als een prins die voor mij is bestemd Zo worden mijn dromen Toch eindelijk waar
Vuur en vlam Toen ik je tegenkwam Van kop tot teen Dwars door me heen Toen jij verscheen
Vuur en vlam Toen ik jou tegenkwam Als een orkaan Niet te weerstaan Kwam jij er aan

Chi Sarà Con Te
Composer(s): Enrico Polito - Giancarlo Bigazzi - T. Savio
First performance by: Massimo Ranieri - 1973
Come al nostro primo appuntamento un anno fa Oggi aspetto un'altra e tutto si ripeterà Camminiamo un poco e mentre prendo la sua mano Il cuore mi domanda piano
Chi sarà con te, forse la sua mano, stringerà la tua Chi sarà, sarà, magari è emozionato come io con lei Non parliamo più, io m'avvicino e sfioro le sue labbra ma Penso a chi sarà con te
Lucide vetrine, specchi per gli innamorati Cinema da pochi soldi, strade sconosciute Lei che ti assomiglia un poco e il fuoco si riaccende Ma un po' di nostalgia mi prende
Chi sarà con te, chi ti stringerà forte come me
Chi sarà, sarà, cosa importa ormai, se l'ho voluto io Caro amore mio, mentre io ti penso, chi sarà con te
Sleepwalk Composer(s): Santo Farina; Johnny Farina; Ann Farina First release by: Santo & Johnny - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
Sleep walk Instead of dreaming I sleep walk 'Cause I lost you And now what am I to do What to do Can't believe that we're through I don't care how much you tell me
Sleep talk 'Cause I miss you I sleep talk While the memory of you Lingers like a song Darling, I was so wrong But I'll be right someday
The night Fills my lonely place I see your face Spinning through my brain I know I miss you so I still love you And it drives me insane
Sleep walk Every night I just sleep walk And when you Walk inside the door I will sleep walk no more
Sleep walk Every night I just sleep walk And when you Walk inside the door I will sleep walk no more
I will sleep walk no more I will sleep walk no more
