Slow Hand Composer(s): John Bettis; Michael Clark Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters
As the midnight moon, was drifting through The lazy sway of the trees I saw the look in your eyes, lookin' into mine Seeing what you wanted to see Darlin' don't say a word, cause I already heard What your body's sayin' to mine I'm tired of fast moves I've got a slow groove... On my mind
I want a man with a slow hand I want a lover with an easy touch I want somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I want somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand
On shadowed ground, with no one around And a blanket of stars in our eyes We are drifting free, like two lost leaves On the crazy wind of the night Darlin', don't say a word, 'cause I already heard What your body's sayin' to mine If I want it all night You say it's alright We got the time
'Cause I got a man with a slow hand I got a lover with an easy touch I found somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I found somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand
If I want it all night Please say it's alright It's not a fast move But a slow groove On my mind
'Cause I got a man with a slow hand I got a lover with an easy touch I found somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I found somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand
As the midnight moon, was drifting through The lazy sway of the trees I saw the look in your eyes, lookin' into mine Seeing what you wanted to see Darlin' don't say a word, cause I already heard What your body's sayin' to mine I'm tired of fast moves I've got a slow groove... On my mind

(This Is A) Song For The Lonely Composer(s): Paul Barry; M. Taylor; Steve Torch Performer(s): Cher; Share & Share Alike
When you're standing on the edge of nowhere There's only one way up So your heart's got to go there Through the darkest night See the light shine bright When hero's fall, in love or war They live forever
(Chorus) This is a song - for the lonely Can you hear me tonight For the broken hearted, battle scared I'll Be by your side And this is a song - for the lonely When your dreams won't come true Can you hear this prayer 'Coz someone's there for you
We'll love don't need a reason She can pick you up Or leave you bleeding I've seen a strong man cry I know the reason why We all forgive, we all forget We just keep believing
(Chorus)
So let it find you Wherever you may go I'm right beside you You don't have to look no more You don't have to look no more, oh no
(Chorus)
It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright It's gonna be alright
This is a song A song for the lonely And that's not you only Through the darkest night You're gonna see the light
Love don't need a reason Just to leave you bleeding
Can you hear this prayer Someone's there
This is a song - for the lonely Can you hear me tonight For the broken hearted, battle scared I'll be by your side And this is a song For the lonely
La Vie À 25 Ans Composer(s): Christine Fontane First performance by: Dani - 1974
Comme disait le vieux Sébastien "Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien" La vie c'est du cinéma Qu'on ne regarde qu'une fois Pourquoi bouder son désir Quand y'a de la gêne, y'a pas de plaisir Moi je dis tout simplement C'est beau la vie à vingt cinq ans
Y'a pas de mal tu sais à se faire du bien La la la Y'a pas de mal et ça ne coûte rien Prends ton coeur et ta vie par la main La la la On est sur la terre Pour se laisser faire Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Toi, tu coupes, tu tailles, tu tranches Ta vie n'est pas un dimanche Tu réfléchis, tu t'inquiètes Tu calcules et tu perds la tête Pourquoi chercher à comprendre Prends ce qui se laisse prendre À toujours forcer ton coeur Tu passes à côté du meilleur
Y'a pas de mal tu sais à se faire du bien La la la Y'a pas de mal et ça ne coûte rien Prends ton coeur et ta vie par la main La la la On est sur la terre Pour se laisser faire Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Quand j'aime, je le crie bien haut Et j'en profite autant qu'il faut Moi je vis tout simplement C'est bien la vie à vingt cinq ans
Y'a pas de mal tu sais à se faire du bien La la la Y'a pas de mal et ça ne coûte rien. Prends ton coeur et ta vie par la main La la la On est sur la terre Pour se laisser faire Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Pas de mal tu sais à se faire du bien La la la Y'a pas de mal et ça ne coûte rien Prends ton coeur et ta vie par la main La la la On est sur la terre Pour se laisser faire Y'a pas de mal à se faire du bien

Slow Down Sweet Mama Composer(s): Leon Chappel Performer(s): Leon Chappel
Slow down sweet mama Now, can't you see you're killin' me Lord, I'm tired of your two-timin' And the way you're doggin' me I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get you to slow down
She come home this mornin' The sun was shinin' bright as day Out all night, sweet mama With your low down triflin' way I'm fed up and disgusted You can't be trusted, night or day
So, slow down sweet mama You're way ahead of me a mile Lord, I can't keep up sweet mama With your speedy streamline style I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get that gal to slow down
Yes, yes, yes Why don't you slow down, honey Take your time, take your time
Go slow sweet mama Why don't you try to please behave She's sure mean mistreatin' Your Poppa's hair is turnin' gray Lord, I'm sick and tired of pleadin' Tryin' to get my gal to slow down
I've tried sweet mama To make you love me and do right But it just ain't in you, mama You're honky-tonkin' every night I'm sick and tired of talkin' Tryin' to get that gal to slow down
Now, so long sweet mama You know you done your Poppa wrong If you don't believe I'm leavin' Mama, count the days I'm gone 'Cause I'm sick and tired of pleading Tryin' to get that gal to slow down
(There's A) Goldmine In The Sky
Composer(s): Charles F. Kenny - Nick A. Kenny
Performer(s): Gene Autry
and multiple other artists
There's a goldmine in the sky far away
We will find it, you and I, some sweet day
There'll be clover just for you down the line
Where the skies are always blue, pal of mine
Take your time, old mule, I know you're growing lame
But you'll pasture in the stars when we strike that claim
And we'll sit up there and watch the world roll by (the world roll by)
When we find that long lost goldmine in the sky (in the sky)
Mmm-mmm-mmm (far away, far away), mmm-mmm-mmm (far away, far away)
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmmmmm
And we'll say hello to friends who said goodbye (who said goodbye)
When we find that long lost goldmine in the sky (far away in the sky)

(There's a bluebird)
There's a bluebird
(There's a rainbow)
There's a bluebird on your windowsill There's a rainbow in your sky There are happy thoughts, your heart to fill Near enough to make you cry
(There's a bluebird)
There he is
(There's a rainbow)
And with every tear you've washed away All the things you've kept inside You count your joys this lovely day And you wonder why you cried
There's a bluebird on your windowsill There's a rainbow in your sky There are happy thoughts, your heart to fill Near enough to make you cry
(There's a bluebird)
Look at him out there, ain't he pretty
(There's a rainbow)
And if perchance your heart grow sad You still can smile again And with every tear you've ever had Comes the sunshine after rain
[Orchestral Break]
There's a bluebird
(Yes, yes)
There's a rainbow
(Hear, hear)
[Orchestral Break]
The rainy days may come and go But the clouds soon roll away Everything will come that you wish it so As an answer when you pray
There's a bluebird on your windowsill There's a rainbow in your sky There're happy thoughts, your heart to fill Near enough to make you cry
Slow Dancing Composer(s): Jack Tempchin Performer(s): Johnny Rivers and multiple other artists
It's late at night and we're all alone, with just the music of the radio No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone Just me and you and the lights down low - and we're
Slow dancing, swaying to the music, slow dancing, just me and my girl Slow dancing, swaying to the music, no one else in the whole wide world Just you, girl
And we just flow together when the lights are low And shadows dancing across the wall The music's playing so soft and low And the rest of the world so far away and small
Slow dancing, swaying to the music, slow dancing, just me and my girl Slow dancing, swaying to the music, no one else in the whole wide world Just you, girl
Hold me, please hold me, don't ever let me go
And as we dance together in the dark There's so much love in this heart of mine She whispers to me and I hold her tight You're the one I thought I'd never find
Slow dancing, swaying to the music, slow dancing, just me and my girl Slow dancing, swaying to the music, no one else in the whole wide world Just you, girl
(There's A Little Lane Without A Turning) On The Way To Home Sweet Home
(There's A Little Lane Without A Turning) On The Way To Home Sweet Home Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; George W. Meyer
I wonder if they miss me nowadays I wonder if they would forgive my ways I'd love to kiss somebody I adore I'd give a lot to see them all once more I haven't treated them just as I should I'd go home tomorrow if I could
When every friend you've had has turned you down When every smile has turned into a frown When every finger points at you in shame Somebody home says you are not to blame I sometimes hear somebody teaching me My first lesson in geography
There's a little lane without a turning On the way to home sweet home There's a little mother always yearning For the ones that long to roam There's a road that leads to strangers That's where friendship parts Another leads to dangers And it's paved with broken hearts Take the little lane without a turning On the way to home sweet home
E Depois Do Adeus Composer(s): José Calvário - José Niza
First performance by: Paulo de Carvalho - 1974
Quis saber quem sou O que faço aqui Quem me abandonou De quem me esqueci Perguntei por mim Quis saber de nós Mas o mar Não me traz Tua voz
Em silêncio, amor Em tristeza e fim Eu te sinto, em flor Eu te sofro, em mim Eu te lembro, assim Partir é morrer Como amar É ganhar E perder
Tu vieste em flor Eu te desfolhei Tu te deste em amor Eu nada te dei Em teu corpo, amor Eu adormeci Morri nele E ao morrer Renasci
E depois do amor E depois de nós O dizer adeus O ficarmos sós Teu lugar a mais Tua ausência em mim Tua paz Que perdi Minha dor que aprendi De novo vieste em flor Te desfolhei...
E depois do amor E depois de nós O adeus O ficarmos sós

(There Was A) Tall Oak Tree Composer(s): Dorsey Burnette Performer(s): Dorsey Burnette; Gene McDaniels
There was a tall oak tree That loved a babblin' brook And the babblin' brook Loved the mountain high And the mountain high Loved the sky above The Creator looked down And saw everything was love, love, love
Now, he took a bone And a piece of mud He made a man and a woman To be flesh and blood And then along came the devil Up out of the ground He tempted the woman And that spread sin all round, all round, all round
Now, if shed left that apple On that apple tree Thered be no tears or sorrow Wed live eternally
And then along came Man And chopped the oak tree down And now the babblin' brook Is solid ground And now the mountain high Dont stand so high And theres a cloud of smoke That covers up the clear blue sky
There was a tall oak tree There was a tall oak tree There was a tall oak tree
Mein Ruf Nach Dir First performance by: Piera Martell - 1974
Sehnsucht nach der Vergangenheit Und die Erinnerung an unser Glück Treiben ein wildes Spiel mit mir Und jeden Augenblick der Zeit Ich hole ihn aus der Vergessenheit zurück
Mein Ruf nach Dir Das wird ein Schrei der Liebe sein Das Lied der Sehnsucht Singt dazu der Wind
Mein Ruf nach Dir Soll wie ein Strahl der Sonne sein Der unsre Liebe Neu zum Blühen bringt
Fragen, ob sich mein Leben lohnt Wenn es so weiter geht, ganz ohne dich Tage, die nichts als Träume sind Mein Leben ist ein leerer Raum Die Wirklichkeit ist nur ein Schattenbild für mich
Mein Ruf nach Dir Das wird ein Schrei der Liebe sein Das Lied der Sehnsucht Singt dazu der Wind
Mein Ruf nach Dir Soll wie ein Strahl der Sonne sein Der unsre Liebe Neu zum Blühen bringt
Mein Ruf nach Dir Das wird ein Schrei der Liebe sein Das Lied der Sehnsucht Singt dazu der Wind
Mein Ruf nach Dir Soll wie ein Strahl der Sonne sein Der unsre Liebe Neu zum Blühen bringt
(There Ought To Be A) Moonlight Saving Time Composer(s): Irving Kahal; Harry Richman Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians; and various other artists
Birdies fly with new ambition Spring is in their song Soon you'll find yourself a-wishin' Days were not so long If my thought is not defined Listen while I speak my mind
There ought to be a moonlight saving time So I could love that boy of mine Until the birdies wake and chime Good morning!
There ought to be a law in clover time To keep that moon on overtime To keep each lover's lane in rhyme, till dawning You'd better hurry up, hurry up Hurry up, get busy today You'd better croon a tune, croon a tune To the man up in the moon And here is what I say
There ought to be a moonlight saving time So I could love that boy of mine Until the birdies wake and chime Good morning!
In January the nights are very long But that's all right In happy June, comes the honeymoon time Days are longer than the night In love time's season, the moon's the reason For every cuddle and kiss When the days are longer, the nights are shorter Something should be done about this
There ought to be a moonlight saving time To make the morning glories climb An hour later on the vine Each morning!
You sort of need a moon to bill and coo An old back porch, a birch canoe A parlor lamp in June won't do I'm warning, I've heard the farmer say I'll make hay while the sun is shining above But when the day is done, night begun You can ask the farmer's son It's time to make love
There ought to be a moonlight saving time So I could love that boy of mine Until the birdies wake and chime Good morning!
