Stage Fright Composer(s): J.R. Robertson Performer(s): The Band
Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid Who suffered so much for what he did They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame Since that day he ain't been the same
See the man with the stage fright Just standin' up there to give it all his might And he got caught in the spotlight But when we get to the end He wants to start all over again
I've got fire water right on my breath And the doctor warned me I might catch a death Said, "You can make it in your disguise Just never show the fear that's in your eyes"
See the man with the stage fright Just standin' up there to give it all his might He got caught in the spotlight But when we get to the end He wants to start all over again
Now if he says that he's afraid Take him at his word And for the price that the poor boy has paid He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh
Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry Fancy people go driftin' by The moment of truth is right at hand Just one more nightmare you can stand
See the man with the stage fright Just standin' up there to give it all his might And he got caught in the spotlight But when we get to the end He wants to start all over again, hmm hmm
You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm Let him start all over again
Here's To Life Composer(s): Artie Butler; Phyllis Molinary Performer(s): Shirley Horne
No complaints and no regrets I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets But I have learned that all you give is all you get, so give it all you got I had my share, I drank my fill, and even though Im satisfied Im hungry still To see whats down another road, beyond a hill and do it all again So heres to life and all the joy it brings. Heres to life the dreamers and their dreams Funny how the time just flies How love can turn from warm hellos to sad goodbyes And leave you with the memories youve memorized To keep your winters warm Theres no yes in yesterday And who knows what tomorrow brings or takes away As long as Im still in the game I want to play For laughs, for life, for love So heres to life and all the joy it brings Heres to life, the dreamers and their dreams May all your storms be weathered And all thats good get better Heres to life, heres to love, heres to you May all your storms be weathered And all that's good get better Here's to life, here's to love, here's to you
Jugarem A Estimar-Nos Composer(s): Jofre Bardagí First performance by: Marta Roure - 2004
No en tinc cap dubte, cap dels dos sabem per que estem junts aquesta nit Tu no saps ni com em dic i la veritat, tampoc jo se el teu nom Potser és millor que no pensem en res aprofitem que estem solets Aparquem tots els problemes i disfrutem d'aquest moment Aquesta nit farem que sigui nostra Aquesta nit podrem ser el que volguem mentre esperem que surti el sol
Vull que estiguem junts que no deixem de jugar vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo" tot i no ser veritat Vull que ens abracem que disfrutem del moment i juguar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
I quan el sol demà et tregui del llit jo ja no seré al teu costat Només quedarà un record el somni d'una nit d'estiu D' aquella nit que vam tenir tots dos ben lluny de tota realitat Una nit que ara vivim i volem que duri eternament On no importa res, només nosaltres Aquesta nit val tot, seré qui vulguis mentre no aparegui el sol
Vull que estiguem junts que no deixem de jugar vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo" tot i no ser veritat Vull que ens abracem que disfrutem del moment i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
Vull que estiguem junts que no deixem de jugar vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo" tot i no ser veritat Vull que ens abracem que disfrutem del moment i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
No tenim cap pressa però no perdem temps Que quan surti el sol la màgia es perderà Que la nit és llarga però l' em d'aprofitar Seré el que tu vulguis fins que surti el sol Fins que surti el sol
Vull que estiguem junts que no deixem de jugar vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo" tot i no ser veritat Vull que ens abracem que disfrutem del moment i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
Vull que estiguem junts que no deixem de jugar vull que em diguis "jo t'estimo" tot i no ser veritat Vull que ens abracem, que disfrutem del moment i jugar... Jugarem a estimar-nos
Here's That Rainy Day Composer(s): Johnny Burke; Jimmy Van Heusen Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald; and various other artists
Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams Funny, but here's that rainy day Here's that rainy day they told me about And I laughed at the thought that It could end this way
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside After it brought my love so near? Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day Funny, that rainy day is here Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day Funny, that rainy day is here

Here's My Heart Composer(s): Giorgio Moroder; Pete Bellotte Performer(s): Pat Benatar
Our two worlds met in strange surprise I hid my love in thin disguise I tried to leave, how could I stay? What if my heart gave me away? I always thought I'd be prepared But love just caught me unaware You said the words and I believed I fell so hard, I fell so deep Love can't hide, though it tries Hearts catch fire, so has mine Here's My Heart So true love triumphs once again It always makes it in the end And if you let the heart run free It will return faithfully Love can't hide, though it tries Hearts catch fire, all the time Helpless love walks the line Hearts catch fire, the hour is fine Here's My Heart Ooh, Ooh Love can't hide, though it tries Hearts catch fire, all the time Helpless love walks the line Hearts catch fire, so has mine Here's My Heart Here's My Heart Here's My Heart Here's My Heart Ooh... Hey, Hey, Hey
Love Me Or Leave Me Composer(s): Gus Kahn - Walter Donaldson First performance/First recording/First release by: Ruth Etting - 1928/1928/1929 Covered by multiple other artists
This suspense is killing me I can't stand uncertainty Tell me now, I got to know Whether you want me to stay or go
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely You won't believe me and I love you only I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intend to be independently blue
I want your love, but I don't want to borrow To have it today, to give back tomorrow For my love is your love, there's no love for nobody else
Oh, love me or leave me, let me be lonely You won't believe me and I love you only I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the nighttime the right time for kissing But nighttime is my time for just reminiscing Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you I intend to be independently blue, oh, so blue
I want your love, but I don't want to borrow To have it today, to give back tomorrow For I couldn't bear it, to share it with somebody else
Heres Love In Your Eye Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin Performer(s): Helen Ward; and various other artists
Oh, heres love in your eye And may it keep on glowing Love in your eye just for me You look divine And when we dance or dine, dear My head goes reeling But its not from wine
Theres love in my heart And may it keep on glowing I know that Im aiming high But heres a toast To what I want the most Heres love, love in your eye
All By Yourself In The Moonlight Composer(s): Jay Wallis Performer(s): Whispering Jack Smith and multiple other artists
Now, boys were made for girls, and girls were made for boys Made to share each others cares and joys And life without a mate, is like an empty plate And what did Adam say before he met his fate
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence All by yourself in the moonlight There ain't no thrill by the watermill All by yourself in the moonlight There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass All by yourself in the moonlight
Now, she's must have their he's, and he's must have their she's Otherwise there'd be no family trees Why even in the zoos, they keep them there in two's Otherwise there'd be no kangaroo's
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence All by yourself in the moonlight There ain't no thrill by the watermill All by yourself in the moonlight There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze It's insane, swinging down the lane All by yourself in the moonlight
Now it get's your goat, riding in a boat All by yourself in the moonlight And it's all a fake, swimming in the lake All by yourself in the moonlight
No it don't make sense, sitting upon the sands Whispering to yourself, ain't the scenery grand Ther ain't no whim, when you go to swim All by yourself in the moonlight
Now, you can't tell lies, to the butterflies All by yourself in the moonlight And you'll agree, that you're poor company All by yourself in the moonlight
When you're alone, it doesn't bring to light Kissing yourself hello, kissing yourself goodnight And there ain't no kick, gosh it makes you ill All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence All by yourself in the moonlight There ain't no thrill by the watermill All by yourself in the moonlight There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass Rahhh I beg your pardon gentlemen ranton All by yourself in the moonlight Goodnight
Here's Looking At You Composer(s): Debbie Harry; Chris Stein Performer(s): Blondie
As I sit staring into this liquid amber Ripples move out to the edge of the glass Is that really your reflection in there? I just wanna jump into the warm depths And be there with you one more time! Oh alright Hit it boys! My initials sprayed across a pavement Cut into your private winter room Talk to me now Step into my room we'll have a word or two If I ever had a million dollars If I didn't give it all to you Would you lose interest? Show me indifference? Foot in another shoe? Not very high heels Not wearing sneakers too A magazine ad a printed canvas A basic mid shade blue suede shoe Thought I'd like to have a little party Thought I'd like to have a little do Sure I stopped drinking But for the moment honey here's looking at you! I'll stop my drinking give you my promise true Clean out the closet Be existential and cast a vote for the president too But for the action of the moment Nothing does what it ought to do Instant depression I learned my lesson Nothing that I'd rather do Come on over my place Can't see him sideways Honey here's looking at you
Ee, By Gum! Composer(s): Butler - Flynn Performer(s): Tommy Handley; Gracie Fields
The Yankee says Gee Wiz The Scotsman says 'Ood-aye The Welshman says Indeed You Goodness Goodness knows just why In Lancashire and Yorkshire Ever since the world began This is the expression of a strong and silent man 'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum The only thing he ever says is 'Ee By Gum
He says it when he's happy And he says it when he's glum He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee-ee By Gum He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth And when he goes a courting And his girl goes Hmm-mm-hmm-mm-mm-mmm He looks into her eyes and whispers 'Ee-ee-ee-ee By Gum
The Frenchmen say La La The Irish say Bedad Os Bobbikins is what they said When Cromwell was a lad The Spaniard says Karumba And the eskimo says Wow But none of them mean half as much As what I'm singing now
'Ee By Gum, 'Ee-hee By Gum The only thing he ever says is 'Ee-hee-ee By Gum He says it when he's happy And he says it when he's glum He means an awful lot when he says 'Ee By Gum He hears it in the cradle before he cuts a tooth He learns it as a baby and he says it as a youth
At the Isle of Mann or Blackpool For a while he lose his chum When his chum says Wheres Thou Been Lad? He says 'Ee By Gum Hee-ee-ee-'Ee By Gum 'Ee-hee-ee By Gum

Nobody but me, could know the way I feel
I'm standing on the rooftop And I'm crying out your name I'm looking for an answer And for somebody to blame 'Cause even though it's over You linger on my mind, oh
Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts In the middle of the night In the light of the day You know that it hurts Oh it hurts, really hurts And I wish I could be stronger No longer afraid Nobody but me, could know the way I feel Oh it hurts, oh it hurts
I'm trying to forget love The pain I feel inside I'm clinging to my pillow And the tears I cannot hide I wish it could be over So I can start anew, oh
Hurts, oh it hurts, really hurts In the middle of the night In the light of the day You know that it hurts Oh it hurts, really hurts And I wish I could be stronger No longer afraid Nobody but me, could know the way I feel Oh it hurts, oh
Not easy to remember And even harder to forget Whenever I surrender (whenever I surrender) Oh, you're always on my mind...

Here, There And Everywhere Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): Matt Monro
Here, making each day of the year Changing my life with a wave of her hand Nobody can deny that theres something there
There, running my hands through her hair Both of us thinking how good it can be Someone is speaking but she doesnt know hes there
I want her everywhere And if shes beside me, I know I need never care But to love her is to meet her everywhere Knowing that love is to share Each one believing that love never dies Watching her eyes and hoping Im always there
To be there, and everywhere Here, there and everywhere

St. Therese of the roses I will come to you each night Near the altar in the chapel I will pray by candle light St. Therese of the roses Won't you kindly hear my prayer Give your blessings to my sweetheart And the love that we both share Won't you guide us and protect us Through the years that lie ahead won't you fill our hearts with sunshine On the day that we are wed You're the little flower of heaven Guiding all who come to you St. Therese of the roses I know you'll make my prayer come true

I Admit Composer(s): George Popa - Irina Gligor First performance by: Sanda - 2004
As in a dream, love appeared Swept me away and made me lose control like never before As in a dream, love touched me I felt how it touched the bottom of my very soul
Now I know I find the key to my heart I just hope this ain't a dream and that you are reality
I admit I fell for you so badly And I admit you make my senses wild I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
It's good to be in love It makes you touch the sky a thousand times or more It's good to admit That my heart starts to race when you walk through that door
Now I know you are the key to my heart Just hope you're not a dream and that you'll be my everything
I admit I fell for you so badly And I admit you make my senses wild I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good And I admit you make my senses wild I know sometimes I might act and look foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
Just mine You make me shine You are the light in my life
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good And I admit you make my senses wild I know sometimes I am looking foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine
I admit I fell for you so badly, and I feel so good And I admit you make my senses wild, oh yeah I know sometimes I might act and look foolish, I admit, I admit I'll be your fool as long as you are mine, yes mine, just mine, all right Mine, yes mine, just mine Just mine
Here With Me Composer(s): Rick Braun; Kevin Cronin Performer(s): REO Speedwagon
Maybe it's too late, but this feelin' is runnin' through my soul I think I learned what love is, but I'm afraid I let it go Maybe it's too late, maybe you've already changed your mind Turned lovin' into leavin', and I'm on the outside
You can take these words to bed with you, and hold on to them at night they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright But your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is Here with me
Here with me I don't know where you are All I know is I need you to be Here with me I know it's not too late to turn around and get it straight It's my fate to have you here with me
I can hear your voice, promising your love will never die I can feel your golden skin on mine, beneath the desert sky So how can it be true, how can you just turn and let me go? Let the story of your life with mine, forever go untold
I can take these words to bed with me, and hold on to them at night they can erase the emptiness, and make everything alright Cause your laughter and your tenderness, will never disappear No matter where you are tonight, a part of you is here with me
(chorus)
(repeat chorus)
Here with me (are you here with me?) I don't know where you are (don't know where) All I know is, I need you to be, ohohwhoa, Here with me I know it's not too late (know it's not too late) to turn around and get it straight Here with me...
