Star Eyes Composer(s): Don Raye - Gene de Paul First performance/First recording/First release by: Helen O'Connell & Bob Eberly/Stephane Grappelli/Jimmy Dorsey's Orchestra - 1943 Covered by multiple other artists
Star Eyes That to me is what your eyes are Soft as stars in April skies are Tell me some day you'll fulfill Their promise of a thrill Star Eyes Flashing eyes in which my hopes rise Let me show you where my heart lies Let me prove that it adores That loveliness of yours All my life I've felt Content to stargaze at the skies Now I only want to to melt The stardust in your eyes Star Eyes When if ever, will my lips know If it's me for whom those eyes glow? Makes no diff'rence where you are Your eyes still hold my wishing star Oh, Star Eyes, how lovely you are
Hey, Mister Sun Composer(s): Danny Janssen Performer(s): Bobby Sherman
When I got up this morning I said Good Morning Mr. Sun I've been looking through the raindrops much too long I need someone I can tell you where my mind is at If you will take the time to listen Cause it's such a lovely morning Won't you walk with me And talk with me Mr. Sun
I've been running all my life now In search of something I can't find I've been chasing rainbows And they're just visions in my mind There are a lot of lonely people just like me that need someone To walk with and talk with sometimes Mr. Sun
Hey Mr. Sun You can change the night to day You can chase away the rainbows they're just illusion anyway When I'm standing in the rain You can come and be my friend You can make the storm clouds break And let the sun shine through again
And tomorrow when I'm dreaming Of some mountain I will climb You can tap me on the shoulder And whisper to me from behind Please remind me of the yesterdays I tried it all alone You can tell me that's it's time again To walk again And talk again with you Mr. Sun
Why Composer(s): Mika Toivanen - Steven Stewart First performance by: Geir Rönning - 2005
In the night, there's a candle burning Little light full of ache and yearning For the child who won't be returning And all the loved ones left behind
Morning breaks with the news of violence Nothing moves in the haze of silence Deep inside it feels like a riot Oh, where can I find peace of mind?
(And they say that our trouble's just begun) Tell me how (Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won) These tears won't dry
So I'm asking Why? (Why?) Why? Will we ever find the answer? Why? (Why?) Why? Why can't love be all that matters? Why? (Why?) Why? While we try to understand Faith and hope are slipping through our hands Can you tell me why?
What's the secret to make things better? Where's the thread holding us together? How do we find the key that lets us Open up our hearts and minds?
Winds of faith blow us past our limits Spend our lives searching for forgiveness Can one voice really make a difference? Still I know we've got to try
(And they say that our trouble's just begun) Tell me how (Tell me how much we'll lose before we've won) These tears won't dry
So I'm asking Why? (Why?) Why? Will we ever find the answer? Why? (Why?) Why? Why can't love be all that matters? Why? (Why?) Why? While we try to understand That faith and hope are slipping through our hands (Tell me why)
Tears are falling down like rain A flood of questions come It is getting hard to wait Is really love so hard to find?
So I'm asking (Why?) Why...? Will we ever find the answer? Why? (Why?) Why? (Why?) Why can't love be all that matters? Why? (Why?) Why? While we pray to understand Faith and hope are slipping through our hands Tell me why
Hey, Look Me Over! Composer(s): Cy Coleman; Carolyn Leigh Performer(s): Louis Armstrong; and various other artists
Hey look me over, lend me an ear Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here Dont pass the plate folks, dont pass the cup I figure whenever youre down and out, the only way is up And Ill be up like a rosebud high on the vine Dont thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine Im a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some And look out world, here I come
Hey look me over, lend me an ear Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here Dont pass the plate folks, dont pass the cup I figure whenever youre down and out, the only way is up And Ill be up like a rosebud high on the vine Dont thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine Im a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some And look out world, here I come
Nobody in the world was ever without a prayer How can you win the world if nobody knows youre there?
Kid, when you need the crowd, the tickets are hard to sell Still, you can lead the crowd if you can get up and yell
Hey look me over, lend me an ear Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here Im a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some And look out world, here me shout world And look out world, here I come
Star De L'entracte Composer(s): Jean-Claude Vannier - Julien Clerc Performer(s): Julien Clerc
T'as vingt ans, un répondeur, un pseudo Ton book, ton C.V., ta gueule, ta photo Dans une pub au ciné pour la bière Tu bois, tu verse une larme au fond d'ton verre
Pour trente secondes La camera tourne Autour de toi
T'es bien trop swing pour rester derrière Mais pas assez pour être dans la lumière Le premier rôle ce s'ra pour demain La pellicule te glisse entre les mains
Tu bois tu pleures Mais tu seras toujours La star de l'entracte
Dix ans plus tard, répondeur et pseudo Même book, même C.V., toujours les photos L'cinéma t'a filé qu'les mailles à l'envers Tu t'détricotes dans un peep show désert et pour vingt balles On tourne on tourne Autour de toi
T'es bien trop swing pour rester derrière Exprime-toi bien, mets-toi là dans la lumière Un verre au bar, c'est déjà demain Les hommes, les mecs, tu glisses entre leurs mains
{Refrain}
T'avoues trente cinq, répondeur et pseudo Sur son bureau, il a mis ta photo
T'as mal au cur Et la terre tourne Autour de toi
T'as un studio dans la rue derrière Et quand sa femme a éteint toutes les lumières Elle l'aime tellement - baisers, à demain - Y monte chez toi, le verre te glisse des mains

Come on girls, sing along that song Shake the house till the early morning Boring yesterday is gone So let's get loud
Come on girls, you can rock the crowd Dance all night, turn on the party We just wanna hear you shout So let's get loud
(Let's get loud, let's get loud) (Let's get loud, let's get loud)

Hey, Little Cobra, don't you know you're gonna to shut 'em down
I took my Cobra down to the track hitched to the back of my Cadillac
Everyone was there just a waiting for me There were plenty of Stingrays and XKEs
Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike Spring Little Cobra with all your might Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike Spring Little Cobra with all your might
Hey, Little Cobra, don't you know you are going to shut them down
When the flag went down, you could hear rubber burn The Stingray pulled me going into the turn
I hung a big shift, and I got into high, When I when I flew by the Stingray, I waved bye bye.
Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike Spring Little Cobra with all your might Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike Spring Little Cobra with all your might
Hey, Little Cobra, Don't you know you are going to shut 'em down
Around the turn into the straight away I was blowing off everything that got in my way,
Stingrays and Jags were so far behind I took my Cobra out of gear and let it coast to the line.
Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike Spring Little Cobra with all your might Spring little Cobra getting ready to strike Spring Little Cobra with all your might
Hey, Little Cobra, Don't you know you are going to shut 'em down

I Wonder What The Weather's Like In Charleston Composer(s): Moneen Carpenter Performer(s): Bill Anderson
Though you never talked of allways you were gentle And life was simple just because you cared I never thought too much about tomorrow I just could not imagine you're not here
I wonder what the weather's like in Charleston Someone said they heard that's where you've gone I hope it doesn't rain today in Charleston For I want you always walking in the sun
I'm sure you never meant to leave me hurtin' But I guess the urge to go got out of hand So you left without a word of explanation I hope somehow you know I understand
I wonder what the weather's like in Charleston Someone said they heard that's where you've gone I hope it doesn't rain today in Charleston For I want you always walking in the sun...
