Keep Me Warm First performance by: Carita Holmström - 1974
Oh... my friend, stay a little while Something's happening to our lives By the time it's Summer Frightened minds are Winter
I will free from their icy spell Bring you fragrance from nature's well I'll soothe away your worries Show you how my love is Say you'll stay and keep me warm
I need you - it's simple to say I need you, I must be certain If you go away, you know there's nothing for me
Oh... my friend, stay and sit with me The nights ahead could be warm and free The morning winds - I give you I won't disappoint you Say you'll stay and keep me warm
I need you - it's simple to say I need you, I must be certain If you go away, you know there's nothing for me
Oh... my friend, when the Summer comes We'll be younger, we'll have our fun I'll soothe away your worries Show you how my love is Say you'll stay and keep me warm
Say you'll stay and keep me warm Stay and keep me warm Stay and keep me warm
Play, Fiddle, Play Composer(s): Arthur Altman; Jack Lawrence; Emery Deutsch Performer(s): Arthur Tracy; and various artists
Now the gypsy band rest their caravan Where I hear concealed the song Dusky magic falls, gypsy music calls Oft to lovers one by one
A lover strums his fiddle while he hums his little song Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
Play, fiddler play, play my loved one a melody Sing to my love while the stars swing above Play, fiddle play, sing my loved one a rhapsody Play on the strings of her heart
The campfires are gleaming as red as the sun And my heart keeps dreaming, just dreaming of one So softly, croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony Play, fiddle play to my love
Croon while the moon with our two hearts in harmony Play, fiddle play to my love
Slip Away Composer(s): Marcus Daniels; William Armstrong; Wilbur Terrell First release by: Clarence Carter - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists
What would I give for just a few moments What would I give just to have you near Tell me you would try to slip away somehow Oh I need you darling I want to see you right now Can you slip away, slip away Slip away, oh I need you so Oh love oh love, how sweet it is When you still involve it Let me tell you how sweet it is Now I know it's wrong The things I ask you to do But please believe me darling I don't mean to hurt you But can you slip away Without him knowin you're gone Baby we could meet somewhere Somewhere we both are not known Can you slip away, slip away Slip away-ay-ay-ay I need you so Oh can you slip away baby I'd like to see you right now darling Can you slip away baby Cause I got to, got to see you I feel a deep burning inside Oh I wish you could slip away ...
Sans Toi Composer(s): Anne Gregory; Paul Koulak First performance by: Martine Clémenceau - 1973
Tout le monde autour de chose parlait d'amour Il fallait bien que cela m'arrive un jour
J'attendais, je t'espérais, j'espérais, je te cherchais Mais c'est fou, tu existais L'aventure, c'était toi, et je comprends déjà
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre? Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre? Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi Sans toi, sans toi
Comme il faisait bon ce soir dans le jardin J'aime tes secrets et je n'ai peur de rien
Sans toi, à quoi sert d'être libre? Sans toi, dis, pourquoi faut-il vivre? Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi Sans toi
Tu t'en vas (tu t'en vas) ma vie part avec toi Tu reviens (tu reviens) j'ai le ciel dans mes mains C'est le vide, le vide autour de moi Sans toi
Play The Game Tonight Composer(s): Phil Ehart; Danny Flower; Rob Frazier; Kerry Livgren; Rich Williams Performer(s): Kansas
You think that something's happening And it's bigger than your life But it's only what you're hearing Will you still remember When the morning light has come Will the songs be playing over and over Till you do it all over again
Chorus: Play, play the game tonight Can you tell me if it's wrong or right Is it worth the time, is it worth the price Do you see yourself in the white spotlight Then play the game tonight
And when the curtains open To the roaring of the crowd You will feel it all around you Then it finally happens And it's all come true for you And the songs are playing over and over Till you do it all over again

Slim slow slider Horse you ride White as snow Slim slow slider Horse you ride Is white as snow Tell it everywhere you go Saw you walking Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning Saw you walking Down by Ladbroke Grove this morning Catching pebbles for some sandy beach You're out of reach Saw you early this morning With your brand new boy and your Cadillac Saw you early this morning With your brand new boy and your Cadillac You're gone for something And I know you won't be back I know you're dying, baby And I know you know it, too I know you're dying And I know you know it, too Everytime I see you I just don't know what to do

If I were the type to play around It wouldn't be so bad, But I didn't know my way around And what a time I had!
I was taken for a sleigh ride in July Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune And I didn't know enough to come in out of the moonlight
So, the big romance was only make believe Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve My dreams were safe all winter And then to think that I Was taken for a sleigh ride in July

Well, I tried to run my game She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before" And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap let's go, Let's look at the show We're riding in a wonderland of snow Giddy yap, giddy yap, gidd yap it's grand, Just holding your hand We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray It'll be the perfect ending a of perfect day We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop! pop! pop! pop!
There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you It's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you

She was morning and I was night time I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed I softly said, "Come take me" For I've been lonely, in need of someone As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere, but I don't know where I don't know where, come lately You are the sun, I am the moon You are the words, I am the tune, play me
Song, she sang to me, song she brang to me Words that rang in me, rhyme that sprang from me warmed the night And what was right became me You are the sun, I am the moon You are the words, I am the tune, play me
She was morning and I was night time I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed I softly said, "Come take me" So it was that I came to travel Upon a road that was thorned and narrow, another place Another grace would save me You are the sun, I am the moon You are the words, I am the tune, play me
You are the sun, I am the moon, You are the words, I am the tune, .....play........ me
De Oude Muzikant First performance by: Ben Cramer - 1973
Door de straten van Parijs Klinkt nog steeds dezelfde wijs Van die oude muzikant Je hoort 'm al aan de overkant
Eens was hij toch heel beroemd Altijd werd zijn naam genoemd Nu is hij heel oud en grijs Ouder dan de stad Parijs
Door de straten, over pleinen Klinkt dat ene lied Die melodie zal nooit verdwijnen Ook al ken je hem niet Eenzaam zijn nu al zijn dagen Niemand die hem nog kent Hij speelt op zijn accordeon En denkt aan hoe het eens begon Het leven is nu grauw en grijs In de straten van Parijs
Zijn vrienden kennen hem niet meer Maar kijken nu nog op hem neer Hij speelt voor geld nog op de straat Voor 's morgens vroeg tot 's avonds laat
Niemand die nog op hem wacht Maar soms is het of hij weer lacht Hij was beroemd in 't hele land Die oude grijze muzikant
Door de straten, over pleinen Klinkt dat ene lied Die melodie zal nooit verdwijnen Ook al ken je hem niet Eenzaam zijn nu al zijn dagen Niemand die hem nog kent Hij speelt op zijn accordeon En denkt aan hoe het eens begon Het leven is nu grauw en grijs In de straten van Parijs
