Stairway To The Stars (Adapted from: Park Avenue Fantasy - 1934) Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Matt Malneck - Frank Signorelli Performer(s): Kay Kyser & his Orch. - 1939 and multiple other artists
There's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky And the night is like a velvet lullaby There's a heaven of blue And we'll go there, just you and I
Let's build a stairway to the stars And climb that stairway to the stars With love beside us to fill the night with a song
We'll hear the sound of violins Out yonder where the blue begins The moon will guide us as we go drifting along
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal Over the rim of the hill? Can't we sail away on a little dream And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars A lovely stairway to the stars It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal Over the rim of the hill? Can't we sail away on a little dream And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars A lovely stairway to the stars It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
He's Home For A Little While Composer(s): Ted Shapiro; Rob Goellner Performer(s): Doris Day & Les Brown; Duke Ellington; Anita Ellis; Dinah Shore
He's home for a little while He's mine once again No need to tell but it feels simply swell With him close to me Where he's supposed to be
He's home for a little while I've lived for his kiss, I hit the skies When he looks in my eyes And my knees grow weak with bliss He's sort of changed He's kind of different From the boy I used to know a while ago
Strange how much he says without a word And when he holds my hand I understand I'm his but for ever more He's mine, mine alone We'll have to part But he's close to my heart For the little while he's home
Stay Forever Composer(s): Simon Gomilek - Diana Lecnik First performance by: Platin - 2004
Ooh... hey yeah yeah
Come on, let's fly away, girl Up on cloud number nine I'd wish to flow You're my most precious pearl Hmm... waiting for you, that's all I need to know
Wait and see how it's gonna be Hold my hand, just don't let go Birds of a feather flock together But time will tell, people say, so
Stay forever and ever You will always be my baby Stay forever, I'll never hurt you I won't make you cry, no, no, no
Stay forever, no matter what may happen Don't give up on me Do whatever, I'll never let go I will catch your fall
Through our sunny and dark sides of life Feelings like this are made to survive What the rest of the world thinks doesn't matter Because we know it better
Stay forever and ever You will always be my baby Stay forever, I'll never hurt you I won't make you cry, no, no, no
Stay forever, no matter what may happen Don't give up on me Do whatever, I'll never let go I will catch your fall
Stay forever and ever You will always be my baby, baby Stay forever, I'll never hurt you I won't make you cry

Stay Forever Composer(s): Hal Ketchum - Benmont Tench Performer(s): Hal Ketchum
Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wastin God's time Livin without your touch, is driving me out of my mind If you could only see, how much you matter to me Maybe you would stay forever
Maybe I care too much, maybe I'll push you away Maybe I'd have my doubts, if I were in your place And if you could see inside, this achin heart of mine Maybe you would stay forever
You don't have to go on living With your back against the wall Let my lovin arms surround you I won't let you fall
And if you would trust in me, and this love of mine We'll sail an endless sea, under a starry sky And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close Maybe you will stay forever
And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close Baby you will stay forever
Stairway To The Sea (French & Italian Versions: Le Petit Chemin De Pierres; Scalinatèlla) Composer(s): Enzo Bonagura - Giuseppe Cioffi - Albert Beach Performer(s): Johnny Mathis
Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea And pretend you are there beside me, so close beside me, watching the sea I see us there upon the stairway to the sea Where the mist softly kissed two lovers, hiding from others our love by the sea
Why try to find a new love when your voice keeps calling me? I'm just a lonely pris'ner of the stairway to the sea And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return But till that day how memories can burn
This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea
And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return But till that day how memories can burn
This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea
He's A Tramp Composer(s): Sonny Burke; Peggy Lee Performer(s): Peggy Lee; and various other artists
He's a tramp, but I love him Breaks a new heart ev'ry day He's a tramp, they adore him And I only hope he'll stay that way
He's a tramp, he's a scoundrel He's a rounder, he's a cad He's a tramp, but I love him Yes, and even I have got it pretty bad
You can never tell when he'll show up He gives you plenty of trouble I guess he's just a no 'count pup But I wish that he were double
He's a tramp, he's a rover And there's nothing more to say If he's a tramp, he's a good one And I wish that I could travel his way Yeah, I wish that I could travel his way Wish that I could travel his way
He's A Runner Composer(s): Laura Nyro Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears; and various other artists
He's a runner and he'll run away Soon there'll be no man Woman ain't been born who can make him stay Woman get away while you can He's a runner
He's a runner and he'll run away with the midnight train Woman ain't been born who can make him stay Come the judgement day, come the rain, he's a runner
There'll come the running, he knows he's got to Don't ask him not to or why Oh why, oh why did you leave me and run off with tomorrow? Now I'm in chains till I die
He's a runner and he'll run away Soon there'll be no man Woman ain't been born who can make him stay Woman get away while you can He's a runner He's a runner and he's got to run, he's got to run away He's a runner
Stairway To Heaven Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page - Rolf Harris Performer(s): Rolf Harris
There's an old Australian stockman, er, rock band Trying, but dying They get themselves up onto their collective elbows Revert to their sixties instrumentation And they try again
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows, if those stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for All together now, with a word she can get what she came for
Ooh and it makes me wonder (How does it affect you blokes?) Ooh and it makes us wonder (That's interesting that, yeah)
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'Cos you know words sometimes have two meanings All together now, 'cos you know words sometimes have two meanings
(A lot of words have two meanings Um, like in this song the word to buy Buying a stairway to heaven, bought (pause) oh no, that's brought isn't it Well, er, there's lots of words have two meanings)
In the tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven All together now, sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
(Miss Given? Just change instruments now Thank you very much Miss Given ladies and gentlemen Isn't it nice to have your name mentioned in the song? Isn't that good Lovely lady)
Good one
Can I change instruments again? Thank you
There's a lady I'm sure that I've mentioned before (yes I did, yes) And she's buying a stairway to heaven All together now, and she's buying a stairway to heaven
Ooh and it makes me wonder Ooh and it makes us wonder Ooh and it makes us wonder It makes us wonder
He's A Rebel Composer(s): Gene Pitney Performer(s): The Crystals
See the way he walks down the street Watch the way he shuffles his feet How he holds his head up high When he goes walking by-y-y-y-y-y He's my guy When he holds my hand I'm so proud 'Cos he's not just one of the crowd I bet he's always the one To try the things I've never done and just because of that they will say -- Hey!
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should And just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does That's no reason why I can't give him all my love
He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly He's not a rebel, no-no-no He's not a rebel, no-no-no - to me-e-e-e
If they don't like him that way They won't like me after today I'll be standing right by his side - when they say
He's a rebel and he'll never ever be - any good He's a rebel 'cos he never ever does - what he should and just because he doesn't do what - everybody else does That's no reason why - we can't share a love
He is always good to me - always treats me tenderly He's not a rebel, no-no-no He's not a rebel, no-no-no - to me-e-e-e (he's not a rebel - no-no-no) No-no-no (he's not a rebel - no-no-no) (he's not a rebel - no-no-no) No-no-no (he's not a rebel - no-no-no)
Herring Croon Composer(s): Gordon Bok Performer(s): Gordon Bok
Where do you go, little herring? What do you see, tail-and-fin? "Blue and green, cold and dark Seaweed growing high Hills a hundred fathom deep Where the dead men lie Dogfish eyes and mackerels' eyes And they hunger after me Net or weir, I don't care Catch me if you can"
Where do you go, little boat? (Tar and timber, plank and sail) "I go to green bays Lift them under me Cold grey combing seas Come to bury me Rocky jaws and stony claws And they hunger after me Harbors cold and deep and bold Wish that I could see"
What do you see, fisherman? (Poor old sailor, blood and bone) "Mackerel skies, mares' tales Reef and furl and steer Poor haul and hungry days Rotten line and gear Snow wind and winter gales And they hunger after me Net or weir, I don't care Catch you if I can
Where do you go, little herring? What do you see, tail-and-fin? "Blue and green, cold and dark Seaweed growing high Hills a hundred fathom deep Where the dead men lie Dogfish eyes and mackerels' eyes And they hunger after me Net or weir, I don't care Catch me if you can"
Stairway To Heaven Composer(s): Robert Plant - Jimmy Page First release by: Led Zeppelin - 1971 Covered by multiple other artists
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed With a word she can get what she came for
Woe oh oh oh oh oh And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure And you know sometimes words have two meanings In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Woe oh oh oh oh oh And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking
Woe oh oh oh oh oh And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forest will echo with laughter
And it makes me wonder If there's a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on
Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our souls There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll Woe oh oh oh oh oh And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed With a word she can get what she came for
I dont know just where Im going But Im goin to try for the kingdom if I can cause it makes me feel like Im a man When I put a spike into my vein Then I tell you things arent quite the same
When Im rushing on my run And I feel just like jesus son And I guess I just dont know And I guess that I just dont know
I have made very big decision Im goin to try to nullify my life cause when the blood begins to flow When it shoots up the droppers neck When Im closing in on death
You cant help me not you guys All you sweet girls with all your sweet talk You can all go take a walk And I guess I just dont know And I guess I just dont know
I wish that I was born a thousand years ago I wish that Id sailed the darkened seas On a great big clipper ship Going from this land here to that I put on a sailors suit and cap
Away from the big city Where a man cannot be free Of all the evils in this town And of himself and those around Oh, and I guess I just dont know Oh, and I guess I just dont know
Heroin, be the death of me Heroin, its my wife and its my life Because a mainer to my vein Leads to a center in my head And then Im better off than dead
When the smack begins to flow Then I really dont care anymore About all the jim-jims in this town And everybody putting everybody else down And all of the politicians makin crazy sounds All the dead bodies piled up in mounds, yeah
Wow, that heroin is in my blood And the blood is in my head Yeah, the gods good as dead Ooohhh, God that Im not aware I just dont care And I guess I just dont know And I guess I just dont know
Heroes And Villains Composer(s): Brian Wilson; Van Dyke Parks Performer(s): The Beach Boys
I've been in this town so long that back in the city I've been taken for lost and gone And unknown for a long long time
Fell in love years ago With an innocent girl From the Spanish and Indian home Home of the heroes and villains
Once at night Catillian squared the fight And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down But she's still dancing in the night Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains
Heroes and villains Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains Just see what you've done
Stand or fall I know there Shall be peace in the valley And it's all an affair Of my life with the heroes and villains
My children were raised You know they suddenly rise They started slow long ago Head to toe healthy weathy and wise
I've been in this town so long So long to the city I'm fit with the stuff To ride in the rough And sunny down snuff I'm alright By the heroes and
