When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky

The spirit in the sky

Go to the place that's the best

He Touched Me
Composer(s): Ira Levin; Milton Schafer
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand;
and various other artists



He touched me
He put his hand near mine and then he touched me

I felt a sudden tingle when he touched me
a sparkle, a glow
Oh, he knew it
It wasn’t accidental, no, he knew it
He smiled and seemed to tell me so, all through it
He knew it, I know

He’s real and the world is alive and shining
I feel such a wonderful drive toward Valentining

He touched me
I simply have to face the fact: he touched me
Control myself and try to act as if I remember my name

But he touched me
He touched me and suddenly nothing is the same
'Cause he touched me
He touched me and suddenly nothing
He touched me and suddenly nothing
He touched me and suddenly nothing
is the same

Happy You
Composer(s): Aivaras Stepukonis
First performance by: Aivaras Stepukonis - 2002



Wanna show to you alone
The world around us, high and low
Glowing stars and dancing moon
Happy I 'cause happy you
 
Close your eyes and make a wish
Could it be a scorching kiss?
You're my sweetest mountain dew, (baby)
Happy I 'cause happy you
For our dreams come true, they always do
 
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you
 
Love brings passion, love brings joy
Love brings riches we enjoy
All is wonder, all is new, (baby)
Happy I 'cause happy you
For our dreams come true, they always do
 
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you
 
(Watching the sunrise)
Babe, it looks great
(Singing a love song)
Babe, it sounds great
 
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you
 
Watching the sunrise, beautiful red skies
Hoping this day will never end
Singing a love song with a perfect rhyme
A song of love composed for you
 
Watching the sunrise

He Took Her For A Sleigh Ride
(In The Good Old Summertime)
Composer(s): Jerome S. Gottler
Performer(s): Billy Murray



Here's a story all about
An innocent young girl
It happened on the midway
In a carnival's gay whirl

Attracted by a manly voice
How could she sense the danger
She found herself enchanted
By a dashing, dapper stranger

Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime
This Coney Island barker
With a bankroll of a dime

His suave and silky manner
Made her heart go pitter-pat
Her mother should have told her
To beware of men like that

He charmed her so with words so sweet
What harm this guy was doing her
To make her woe and shame complete
He ended up tatooing her

He dragged her down and down and down
Was such an awful crime
Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the middle of July
This city slicker
He'll put out the twinkle in her eye

He promised her a fortune
Said he'd put her name in lights
She wound up in the sideshow
Wearing purple, spangled tights

On Monday nights she'd be Suzette
The wild girl from Borneo
Tuesday nights she'd holler
"Get your peanuts and popcorneo"

She did it all because she thought
That wedding bells would chime
But he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Oh, this story has a moral
That the whole world ought to hear
So settle down and listen
And stop crying in your beer

Some of you have daughters
Or a sister you respect
So keep them from this maiden's fate
Before their lives are wrecked

She paid the price for her mistake
With grief I sadly speak of her
His heart was ice, the lowly stink
He went and made a freak of her

Now if you want to see her
You will have to pay a dime
Oh, he took her for a sleigh ride
In the good old summertime

Spirit In The Night
Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen
First release by: Bruce Springsteen - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists



In the summer that I was baptized
My father held me to his side
As they put me to the water
He said how on that day I cried
We were prisoners of love, a love in chains
He was standin' in the door, I was standin' in the rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins
Adam raised a Cain

All of the old faces
Ask you why you're back
They fit you with position
And the keys to your daddy's Cadillac
In the darkness of your room
Your mother calls you by your true name
You remember the faces, the places, the names
You know it's never over, it's relentless as the rain
Adam raised a Cain

In the Bible Cain slew Abel
And east of Eden he was cast
You're born into this life paying
For the sins of somebody else's past
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the pain
Now he walks these empty rooms looking for something to blame
You inherit the sins, you inherit the flames
Adam raised a Cain
Lost but not forgotten
From the dark heart of a dream
Adam raised a Cain

He Stopped Loving Her Today
Composer(s): Bob Braddock; Claude Putman, Jr.
Performer(s): George Jones



He said "I'll love you till I die" 
she told him "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by, she still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall, went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all, hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red every single "I love you"

I went to see him just today, oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

You know, she came to see him one last time. 
Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would 
And it kept runnin' through my mind "this time he's over her for good"

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

I Wanna
Composer(s): Marija Naumova - Marats Samauskis
First performance by: Marie N - 2002



I'd like to go away, but it's easier to say
That you know all the tricks that make... that make me stay
I'm ready to support this artful game you always play
'Cause you don't know the fee that you will later, later pay
 
Today you think you are the winner, today you think you are the king
You make me sweat in my emotions under your fly-away, fly-away wing
 
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
 
Ay ay ay ay ay ay...
 
I like a simple game, but it's just easier to say
That you own all that rules your crazy, crazy way
And even though you'll go on doing whatever... whatever you may
Just remember - it's me who find you when... when you was stray
 
Today you think you are the winner, today you think you are the king
You make me sweat in my emotions under your fly-away, fly-away wing
 
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
 
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
I wanna be the sunshine in your arms, I wanna be the light from shooting stars
I wanna be the queen in your sweet lies, I wanna be the love-spark in your eyes
 
Ay ay ay ay ay ay...

He Sabido Que Te Amaba
Composer(s): Luigi Tenco; Gil Luano; Guiu Clara
Performer(s): Javier Solís;
and various other artists



He sabido que te amaba
cuando he visto que tardabas en llegar
y sentí desvanecer mi indiferencia
al temer que no volvieras nunca más

He sabido que te amaba
cuando hablas y me miras con pasión
y apaciguas con tu cálida palabra
el recelo al estar mi corazón

Recordaba que hace pocos días
decía a mis amigos no creo en el amor
y no quiero tener más ilusiones
ver cómo se burlan si hablas del amor, del amor

He sabido que te amaba
pero es tarde para que me vuelva atrás
quise ser indiferente un instante
pero sé que no podré dejar de amarte

Recordaba que hace pocos días
decía a mis amigos no creo en el amor
y no quiero tener más ilusiones
ver cómo se burlan si hablas del amor, del amor

He sabido que te amaba
pero es tarde para que me vuelva atrás
quise ser indiferente un instante
pero sé que no podré dejar de amarte

Spiral
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue 
Lined with poppy girls
I didn't stop, stop to say hello
Curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac 
Looked me over 
Thought it best, best that I should go
Don't wake me: I'm falling
Slow spiral into morning
Who's out there? Can't hear you
Ears covered - early warning
Alarm bells ringing
Time to make my peace with the dreary day

I waited atbles - I was tipped in roubles 
Wine to water 
Was the best that I could do
Wild office parties split the silence
Loaves and fishes at an empty table laid for two

Down the spiral, spinning madly
Gathering momentum 
On a disneyesque adventure ride 
I fly in colours from richer palettes
Famous artists running scared as worlds collide

Hello, I Love You
Composer(s): John Densmore; Robbie Krieger;
Ray Manzarek; Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She's walking down the street
Blind to every eye she meets
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?

Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello

Praise the Lord, worship His 
majesty, He reigns on High
Praise the Lord, worship His

Praise the Lord, worship His

One thing have I desired, O Lord
That I may dwell in Your house forever
That I may always see Your beauty
And know the fullness of Your power

Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Ionel Tudor - Mirela Voiculescu Fugaru
First performance by: Monica Anghel & Marcel Pavel - 2002



We are behaving like two strangers in the gloomy night
We have lost so many feelings in this endless fight
If you want to go away, now I must obey
But for my part, you'll remain always in my heart
 
Tell me why we have to say goodbye
Was our love only a foolish lie?
Tell me why your eyes are cold and dry
No more tears, no more fears
Nothing more to share together
 
If you want to go away, now I must obey
But for my part, you'll remain always in my heart
 
Tell me why we have to say goodbye
Why we broke our wings in flight
Tell me why couldn't we just try
To forgive and believe we can reach the sky
 
Tell me why we have to say goodbye
Was our love only a foolish lie?
Tell me why your eyes are cold and dry
No more tears, no more fears
Nothing more to share together
 
Tell me why

He Pleases Me
Composer(s): Henry Mancini; Robert Wells
Performer(s): Henry Mancini



He's no more than a man
Nothing special that you'd run to see
He's a child to be sure, at times insecure
But he pleases me

Oh when I'm in his arms
And the last little star slowly dies
I'm enchanted to be the me
That I see in his eyes

He's a man, nothing more
Sort of clumsy and absent of mind
Not the kind of a beau I dreamed long ago
That I would find

He's my lover, my friend
What more could I ask him to be
So in our little plot
The mystery is what he sees in me

Why is it I never doubt him
When I've known all along
Now and then the very best of men must roam
Sure I get lonely without him

But a man, right or wrong
The more you bind him
The less you'll find him home

He's no more than a man
Just a weaver of wishes and dreams
Very shy, he's mature
The man he needs to be
And he pleases me

Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Al Alberts - Marty Gold
First release by: The Four Aces - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists



Tell me why, though I try to forget
Tell me why, why I think of you yet
I know I'll never be free
What has happened to me
Tell me why, when we danced until three
Tell me why, why my heart couldn't see
I never dreamed of romance
Never gave it a chance
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should've known the day you came my way
That this was the time and the place
Tell me why I keep foolin' my heart
When I know it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should've known the day you came my way
That this was the time and the place
Tell me why I keep foolin' my heart
When I know it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
Tell me, tell me, why

Hello hello
I like your smile
Hello hello
Shall we talk awhile?
Would you like some of my tangerine?
I know I'll never treat you mean
Never knew how I'd meet you
Didn't know how to greet you
When I saw you look that way
I knew I had to say
Hello hello hello hello
You've got pretty hair
Hello hello
Can'tcha tell I care?
Would you like some of my tangerine?
I know I'll never treat you mean
Always longed to say I love you
Always been too high above you
Now I'm not so far away
Now at last I can say
Hello hello Hello Hello

He loves and she loves and they love so why can't
You love and I love too?

Birds love and bees love and whispering trees love

I always knew someday you'd come along
We'll make a twosome that just can't go wrong, darling

He loves and she loves and they love so won't you
Love me as I love you

Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Titus Iurner
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Every time I look at someone new
Tell me why I think of you
Then you sometimes ask me by
You're playing with love
Darling tell me why

You left me all alone
To cry over you
My heart is torn and broken
There's nothing left to do

In my prayers, I'll mention you
When you're gone I feel so blue
Why can't I have all of you
Oh, somebody, please tell me why

Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Hello, hello, tu as l'air pressé
Hello, hello, j'ai à te parler
Est-ce que tu veux un quartier de ma clementine
Les fruits c'est bon pour la santé

J'avais besoin de dire "je t'aime"
Il était temps que tu viennes
Je ne pouvais plus tenir
J'avais ces deux mots à te dire

Hello, hello, où vas-tu comme ça
Hello, hello, c'est gentil chez moi

J'ai cherché des nuits entières
Comment je pourrais te plaire
Mais quand je t'ai vu venir
J'ai su que je devais dire

Hello, hello, j'aime tes cheveux
Hello, hello, souris-moi un peu

Est-ce que tu veux terminer ma clementine
Dis, j'en ai d'autres si tu veux
Oui, j'en ai d'autres si tu veux

He Must Have Been Eighteen
((Adapted from: Il Venait D'avoir 18 Ans (Dalida) - 1974))

I think he must have been eighteen
He was as fragile as a dream
Strong as a man
Seeing the summer in his eyes
I felt my autumn as it flies
Like grains of sand

I added make-up to my face
As if to cover some disgrace
I saw him smiling
Rainbows and colours of the spring
I would have given anything
To win his loving

I think he must have been eighteen
A movie star on any screen
It made him careless
He never said a word of love
He thought that speaking about love
Was only worthless

And then as if the line were new
He simply whispered, "I want you
Let's stay together"
We drifted slowly through the night
I never knew a love more right
Not since, not ever

I think he must have been eighteen
It made him vain and almost mean
His looks abusing
Without a word he slowly dressed
Leaving me to my loneliness
My share of losing

I could have tried to make him mine
I let him go without a sign
My face was lying
He said, I am not the kind to fall
Love is for grown-ups after all
I felt like crying

I added make-up to my face
As if to cover some disgrace
I saw him smiling
I had forgotten in a dream
That I was almost twice eighteen
