Yesterday's Dreams Composer(s): Michael Carr; Francis Day Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen; Hutch
Yesterday's dreams were born with a smile Yesterday's dreams just lay there a while We lived and laughed and the world was ours Then came the teardrops of April showers
Yesterday's dreams are so far away Gone with the dawn that brought us today Maybe tomorrow well see a dreamboat sail into view Then yesterday's dreams will all come true
Yesterday's dreams are so far away Gone with the dawn that brought us today Maybe tomorrow well see a dreamboat sail into view Then yesterday's dreams will all come true
(spoken) Yesterday's dreams, just remember Are always so far away So far away, and theyve gone with the dawn Perhaps never to return who knows
Maybe tomorrow well see a dreamboat sail into view Then yesterday's dreams will all come true
Marina Del Rey Composer(s): Dean Dillon - Frank Dycus Performer(s): George Strait; Kyle Newmaster; Pickin' On
We said goodbye in Marina del Rey "I had a good time" was the last thing I heard her say As I walked away And on the plane back to Tennessee My mind comes across her memory And yesterday in Marina del Rey
On a hidden beach under a golden sun She spread a blanket that we laid down on And loved the world away In Marina del Rey And as we looked into each other's eyes We found our bodies lost in paradise Like castaways in Marina del Rey
Like the ocean tides, highs and lows Love sometimes comes and goes away In Marina del Rey And as this plane is touching down Tears touch my eyes for I have found My heart has stayed in Marina del Rey
On a hidden beach under a golden sun She spread a blanket that we laid down on And loved the world away In Marina del Rey And as we looked into each other's eyes We found our bodies lost in paradise Like castaways in Marina del Rey
Yesterdays Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Otto Harbach Performer(s): Adele Leigh; and various other artists
Yesterdays, Yesterdays Days I knew as happy Sweet sequester days Olden days, golden days Days of mad romance and love Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine Joyous free and flaming life Forsooth, was mine Sad am I, glad am I For today Im dreaming of Yesterdays
(Musical Break)
Olden days, golden days Days of mad romance and love Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine Joyous free and flaming life Forsooth, was mine Sad am I, glad am I For today Im dreaming of Yesterdays
If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home)
If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home) Composer(s): Blake Mevis - David Wills Performer(s): George Strait
Lately you've been showing all the signs Of a woman with someone else on her mind It's not your fault It's the nights I've left you alone And if you're thinking You want a stranger There's one coming home
If you're thinking You want a stranger I'll soon be there You're gonna see A change in me This time I swear No more late nights Coming in at daylight And no more doing you wrong 'Cause if you're thinking You want a stranger There's one coming home
Bought you a silk gown And perfume today Picked up some roses And champagne on the way Ohh I called and asked you to put Some soft music on 'Cause if you're thinking You want a stranger There's one coming home
If you're thinking You want a stranger I'll soon be there You're gonna see A change in me This time I swear No more late nights Coming in at daylight And no more doing you wrong 'Cause if you're thinking You want a stranger There's one coming home
Yesterday, When I Was Young Adapted from: Hier Encore - 1964 Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Roy Clark - 1969

Yesterday when I was young the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue I teased at life as if it were a foolish game the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built alas on weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day and only now I see how the years ran away
Yesterday when I was young so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out I never stopped to think what life was all about and every conversation I can now recall concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue and every crazy day brought something new to do I used my magic age as if it were a wand and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond The game of love I played with arrogance and pride and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away and only I am left on stage to end the play There are so many songs in me that won't be sung I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young
Strange Fruit Composer(s): Lewis Allan First release by: Billie Holiday - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists
Southern trees bear strange fruit Blood on the leaves Blood at the root Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees Pastoral scene of the gallant south The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh Then the sudden smell of burning flesh Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck for the rain to gather for the wind to suck for the sun to rot for the tree to drop Here is a strange and bitter crop
Yesterday Once More
((French Version: Sha La La (Hier Est Près De Moi) - 1974))
Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter
First release by: The Carpenters - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was young
I´d listen to the radio
Waitin´ for my favorite songs
When they played I´d sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they´d gone
But they´re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he´s breakin´ her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more
Lookin´ back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I´d memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more

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
