Yesterday I Heard The Rain Composer(s): Gene Lees; Armando Manzanero Performer(s): Tony Bennett; and various other artists
Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name asking where you'd gone It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds as I wandered on Out of doorways black umbrellas came to pursue me Faceless people as they passed were looking through me no one knew me
Yesterday I shut my eyes face-up to the skies drinkin' in the rain But your image still was there floating in the air brighter than a flame Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity and I heard the steady rain whispering your name Whispering your name
(instrumental break)
Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity and I heard the steady rain whispering your name whispering your name whispering your name
Strange Feelin' Composer(s): Tim Buckley First release by: Tim Buckley - 1969
I got this strange strange feelin' Deep down in my heart I can't tell what it is But it won't let go It happens every time I give you more than what I have But now all I need is a little time to sing this song And I think we're gonna find a way to lose this strange feelin'
All around I feel ya, darlin', feel ya darlin' When you're home all alone Oh, don't you need somebody to talk your troubles to Ah, lord I know I wanna catch the morning train, lord the first thing Oh, I wanna hear you say we're gonna take that strange feelin' Oh, take it all away
Well it's just like a mockingbird a-singing on a hillside Churping at his morning song But don't you weep don't you fret don't you wail don't you moan Can't you hear that whiporwill a-callin? Now don't you worry Your daddy's comin' home He's gonna chase those blues away And believe me when I say We're gonna lose that strange feelin' all around all around...
Yesterday Has Gone
Composer(s): Victoria Pike - Teddy Randazzo
Cupid's Inspiration
Performer(s): and multiple other artists
(Hey baby)
Yesterday has just departed
Yet tomorrow hasn't started
All that really matters
Is right now
And you should
Live a lifetime
In each minute
Take the sweetness
From within it
Yesterday has gone
Without a sound
Come on, baby
Let the good times roll
Time is wasting
And we'll soon be old
Just give in
To what you feel inside
Give your life a chance
To open wide
(Hey baby)
Yesterday has just departed
Yet tomorrow hasn't started
All that really matters
Is right now
And you should
Live a lifetime
In each minute
Take the sweetness
From within it
Listen to me
Yesterday has gone
Without a sound
What's the good
Of living in the past
Look around you
Things are changing fast
Don't concern yourself
With what's ahead
It's too late to live
When you are dead
(Hey baby)
We gotta live for today
No time to live for tomorrow
No time for tears of sorrow
We gotta live right now
We gotta live right now
Listen to me
Yesterday is gone
It's never gonna come back again
A laugh's gotta last forever
No time for the tears or the pain
Dreams are there for the making
Hopes are there for the taking
Gonna get it together
And face stormy weather
Baby, baby, take hold of the moment
Yesterday has just departed
Yet tomorrow hasn't started
All that really matters
Is right now
And you should
Live a lifetime
In each minute
Take the sweetness
From within it
Yesterday has gone
Without a sound
Yesterday has gone
Yesterday has gone
We gotta live right now
We gotta live
We gotta give
we gotta live
We gotta give right now
We gotta live
We gotta give
we gotta live
We gotta give right now
Satellite Composer(s): Julie Frost, John Gordon First performance by: Lena Meyer-Landrut - 2010
I went everywhere for you I even did my hair for you I bought new underwear, they're blue And I wore 'em just the other day
Love, you know I'll fight for you I left on the porch light for you Whether you are sweet or cool I'm gonna love you either way
Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you 'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love Like a satellite, I'm in orbit all the way around you And I would fall out into the night Can't go a minute without your love
Love, I got it bad for you I saved the best I have for you You sometimes make me sad and blue Wouldn't have it any other way
Love, my aim is straight and true Cupid's arrow is just for you I even painted my toenails for you I did it just the other day
Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you 'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love Like a satellite, I'm in orbit all the way around you And I would fall out into the night Can't go a minute without your... Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you 'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love
Where you go, I follow You set the pace, we'll take it fast and slow I'll follow in your way You got me, you got me A force more powerful than gravity It's physics, there's no escape
Love, my aim is straight and true Cupid's arrow is just for you I even painted my toenails for you I did it just the other day
Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you 'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love Like a satellite, I'm in orbit all the way around you And I would fall out into the night Can't go a minute without your... Love, oh love, I gotta tell you how I feel about you 'Cause I, oh I, can't go a minute without your love Love, love, love, love, love
Yesterday And You Composer(s): Ross Bagdasarian Performer(s): Bobby Vee
I sit alone in this café And listen to the jukebox play Remindin' me of yesterday and you Each moment was a valentine You promised you'd be always mine And I believed the words you said were true
I see your face, it's everywhere I close my eyes, but you're still there Remindin' me of things we used to do I wonder what your heart is sayin' When you hear a jukebox playin' The song that brings me yesterday and you
I wonder what your heart is sayin' When you hear a jukebox playin' The song that brings me yesterday and you
Strange Face Of Love Composer(s): Tito Larriva Performer(s): Tito & Tarantula
Let go of your love Ride his pulse and you'll forget, slow down your time will come If not tonight, surely by the dawn Take it like a man, the strange face of love
A cat's eye, a lizard's tail The pentogram he bought from hell He stalks the night with no intent, his brow sweats for innocence Take it like a man, the strange face of love
Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love
The rain's soul makes killer cry He wants desparately to die But fast and still he forgets he's back on the streets with no regrets Just take it like a man, the strange face of love
Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love
Don't look back, don't look back, he's right on your trail Don't look back, don't look back, he's just a step away from hell Don't look back, don't look back into the strange face of love
The strange face of love (strange) face of love (strange)
Yesterday French Title: Je Croyais Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away Now it looks as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh, yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Apricot Stone Composer(s): Armen Martirosyan - Karen Kavaleryan First performance by: Eva Rivas - 2010
Many, many years ago, when I was a little child Mama told me you should know our world is cruel and wild But to make your way through cold and heat Love is all that you need
I believed her every word, more than anything I heard But I was too scared to lose my fun I began to cry a lot and she gave me apricots Kisses of the earth, fruits of the sun
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground I'll just let it make its round
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone
Now I see the northern stars shining brightly in the storm And I've got an avatar of my love to keep me warm Now I'm not afraid of violent winds They may blow they can't win
May the winter stay away from my harvest night and day May God bless and keep my cherished fruit Grow my tree up to the sky, once I waved my home goodbye I just wanna go back to my roots
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone, I will drop it down in the frozen ground I'll just let it make its round
Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone, hidden in my hand Given back to me from the motherland Apricot stone

Strange Days Composer(s): John Densmore - Robby Krieger - Ray Manzarek - Jim Morrison Performer(s): The Doors
Strange days have found us Strange days have tracked us down They're going to destroy Our casual joys We shall go on playing Or find a new town
Yeah!
Strange eyes fill strange rooms Voices will signal their tired end The hostess is grinning Her guests sleep from sinning Hear me talk of sin And you know this is it
Yeah!
Strange days have found us And through their strange hours We linger alone Bodies confused Memories misused As we run from the day To a strange night of stone

Please believe me If you don't need me I'm going, but I need a little time I promised I would drown myself in mysticated wine
Please believe me The river told me Very softly Want you to hold me, ooo
