Strolling, just strolling In the cool of the evening air I don't envy the rich in their automobiles For a motor car is phoney I'd rather have Shanks's pony When I'm strolling, just strolling With the light of the moon above Ev'ry night I go out strolling And I know my luck is rolling When I'm strolling with the one I love
Strolling, just strolling In the cool of the evening air Ev'ry man and his dog keeps on walking for miles And we don't care who tramps most But they can never pass one lamp post When they're strolling, just strolling In the light of the moon above Though we might think we're good planners But the blighters won't learn manners Though they're strolling with the ones they love
You Are Love Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Once a wandering ne'er-do-well Just a vagrant roaming fellow I went my way Life was just a joke to tell Like a lonely Punchinello My role was gay But I knew the joke was aimless Time went on, I liked the game less For you see Somewhere lurked a spark divine And I kept wondering whether mine Would come to me.
Then my fortune turned and I found you Here you are with my arms around you You will never know what you meant to me You're the prize that heaven has sent to me Here's a bright and beautiful world anew Wrapped up in you
You are love Here in my arms Where you belong And here you will stay I'll not let you away I want day after day with you
You are spring Bud of romance unfurl'd You taught me to see One truth forever true
You are love Wonder of all the world Where you go with me Heaven will always be!
You are love Here in my arms Where you belong And here you will stay I'll not let you away I want day after day with you
You are spring Bud of romance unfurl'd You taught me to see One truth forever true
You are love Wonder of all the world. Where you go with me Heaven will always be!

Strollin' on 'Cos it's all gone The reason why You made me cry By tellin' me You didn't see The future bore Our love no more If you want to know I love you so And I don't want to let you go

You Are For Loving Composer(s): Ralph Blane; Hugh Martin Performer(s): Liza Minnelli; Michael Feinstein; Audrey Morris
When we met, the spring was nearly summer The lilacs were in blossom, I recall Later on, with summer nearly autumn
I knew I'd fallen long before the fall Autumn has turned into winter So spring can't be very far away And I have learned a head can be turned In a year, in a month, in a day Songs are for singing Bouquets are for bringing Hopes are for clinging to Wheels of fortune are for spinning
And games are for winning Tunes are for humming Guitars are for strumming Dreams are for coming true And you are for loving And loving, and loving, and loving By someone just as wonderful as you Which makes me wonder if I'll do

You Are Everything Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed Performer(s): Rod Stewart
Today I saw somebody who looked just like you She walked like you do I thought it was you As she turned the corner I called out your name I felt so ashamed but it wasn't you, wasn't you You are everything and everything is you You are everything and everything is you Oh you are everything and everything is you
How can I forget when each face that I see brings back memories of being with you I just can't go on livin' life as I do comparing each girl to you knowing they just won't do, they're not you
You are everything Everything is you You're everything to me girl I miss you baby Everything is you
You are everything Every little thing You're all I've got Girl, you're everything to me You are everything and everything is you Everything to me
Stroker's Theme Composer(s): Charlie Daniels Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band
Stroker Ace was born to race He had a mean streak ten feet wide A son of a gun with a taste for fun And more than his share of pride Take a dirt road curve with the Devil's nerve And make a car dance across the mud Haulin' shine was his regular line 'Til the track got in his blood
He was a real hot shot and he bragged a lot But man, that fool could drive Cause he loved the feel of a steering wheel and the girls with the bedroom eyes And in a racing tight or a bar room fight Old Stroker stole the show A back street blazer and a real hell raiser and a racetrack Romeo
Mama lock your daughters up that wild bunch is back in town And them little girls get frisky when they hear that racecar sound They bringin out the yellow flag, somebody's brakes have failed There's an oilslick on the inside and a wreck along the rail You better stand on it, Stroker, cause a bandit's on your tail.
It's a downright joy for a country boy When he hears them engines moan But you gotta hang tough and it gets real rough When you're out there on your own Cause they'll push you around, they'll knock you down When you're up there against the wall And you always know when an engine blows That a man can't win 'em all You could push that car just a little too far any Sunday afternoon And if you break your neck in some d*** fool's wreck they'd forget about you soon But old Stroker Ace was born to race and it's worth all the trying Just to drink champagne in the Victory Lane and to hear that concrete whine
Stroker get your dander up this ain't no time to lag You've got to make a lap up if you want to take that checkered flag Number ten is closin' in to even up the score It's time to wave bye-bye and put the pedal on the floor You better stand on it Stroker cause you're blowin' off their doors.
Blow their doors off, Stroker Stand on it, Son Ah, you good lookin' devil, you
You Are Beautiful Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Johnny Mathis; and various other artists
You are beautiful, small, and shy You are the girl whose eyes met mine just as your boat sailed by This I know of you, nothing more You are the girl whose eyes met mine passing the river shore
You are the girl whose laugh I heard Silver and soft and bright Soft as the fall of lotus leaves Brushing the air of night
While your flower boat sailed away Gently your eyes looked back on mine Clearly you heard me say "You are the girl I will love some day"
While your flower boat sailed away Gently your eyes looked back on mine Clearly you heard me say "You are the girl I will love some day"
Stroke Of Genius Composer(s): Tim Mosher - Fred Schneider Performer(s): Fred Schneider & Six Finger Satellite
Where's your spirit, baby? Is it in your room? The aura of lemon yellow Will be gone soon
There's nothing I can do No, there's nothing I can do I just need to concentrate Sort my feelings Keep them straight
Stroke of genius I'm a liar Emotions surface I perspire Stroke of genius You're the liar Emotions surface I'm so tired Emotions surface I'm so tired
Love is just for dreamers When it seems so true My words are too contained And there's nothing I can do
Coffee on my garden Flowers grow higher Candles on the lawn Start a forest fire Coffee on my garden Flowers grow higher Candles on the lawn Start a forest fire Candles on the lawn Start a forest fire
Stroke of genius I'm a liar Emotions surface I perspire Stroke of genius You're the liar Emotions surface I'm so tired Emotions surface I'm so tired
Where's your spirit, baby? Was it smoke and air? Everything's off balance What gave you such a scare?
No, there's nothing I can do I just need to concentrate Sort my feelings Keep them straight
Coffee on my garden Flowers grow higher Candles on the lawn Start a forest fire Coffee on my garden Flowers grow higher Candles on the lawn Start a forest fire Coffee on my garden Flowers grow higher Candles on the lawn Start a forest fire Candles on the lawn Start a forest fire
You Are Composer(s): Lionel Richie; Brenda Harvey-Ritchie Performer(s): Lionel Ritchie
Baby you'll find There's only one love Yours and mine I've got so much love
And needing you so My love for you I'll never let go I've got so much love
All I want is to hold you Let me show how much I love you baby (Show you) I don't mind and I don't mind (Loving you) Girl I love you There's no one above you
(Chorus) You are the sun You are the rain That makes my life this foolish game You need to know I love you so And I'd do it all again and again
Tell me it's true I can't believe you do what you do I've got so much love And my love you'll see We'll stay together, just you and me I've got so much love
Only you (know me) Tell me how to love you baby (show me) I don't mind and I don't mind (tell me) Girl, I love you Always thinking of you
(Chorus) You are the sun You are the rain That makes my life this foolish game You need to know I love you so And I'd do it all again and again
I know you know the way I feel And I need your love for always Cause when I'm with you I fall in love Again and again and again, Baby
Strip Polka Composer(s): Johnny Mercer Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters and multiple other artists
There's a burlesque theatre where the gang loves to go To see Queenie the cutie of the burlesque show And the thrill of the evening is when out Queenie skips And the band plays the polka while she strips
"Take it off," "Take it off" Cries a voice from the rear "Take it off," Take it off" Soon it's all you can hear But she's always a lady even in pantomime So she stops! And always just in time
She's as fresh and as wholesome as the flowers in May And she hopes to retire to the farm someday But you can't buy a farm until you're up in the chips So the band plays the polka while she strips
"Take it off," "Take it off" all the customers shout, "Down in front" "Down in front" while the band beats it out But she's always a lady even in pantomime So she stops! And always just in time
Queenie, Queen of them all Queenie, someday you'll fall Someday church bells will chime In strip polka time
Oh! She hates corny waltzes and she hates the gavotte And there's one big advantage if the music's hot It's a fast moving exit just in case something rips So the band plays the polka while she strips
Drop around, take it in, it's the best in the west "Take it off," "Take it off" you can yell like the rest Take her out when it's over, she's a peach when she's dressed But she stops! And always just in time
Queenie, Queen of them all Queenie, someday you'll fall Someday church bells will chime In strip polka time
You Angel You Composer(s): Bob Dylan Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band; Alpha Band; Bob Dylan; The New Riders Of The Purple Sage
You angel you You got me under your wing And the way you walk And the way you talk Feel I could almost sing
You angel you You're as fine as ev'rything's fine Though I just walk And I watch you talk Your memory's on my mind
Even though I can't sleep at night for trying Well I never did feel this way before Never did get up and walk the floor If this is love then give me more and more and more and more and more
You angel you You're as fine as fine can be And the way you walk And the way you talk Is the way it ought to be
Strings In The Earth And Air Composer(s): Ivan Pawle Performer(s): Robin Williamson
Strings in the earth and the air make music sweet strings by the river where the willows meet there's music along the river for love wanders there pale flowers on his mantle dark leaves on his hair all softly straying with head to the music bent and fingers playing upon an instrument twilight turns from amethyst to deep and deeper blue lamps light with a pale green glow the trees of the avenue the old piano plays an air sedate and slow and gay she bends upon the yellow keys her head inclines this way shy thoughts and grave wide eyes and hands that wander as they list twilight turns a darker blue with lights of amethyst
You And Your Sister Composer(s): Chris Bell Performer(s): Chris Bell; Angelou; Big Star; Pyramidiacs; This Mortal Coil
They say my love for you ain't real But you don't know how real it feels All I want to do Is to spend some time with you So I can hold you, hold you Your sister says that I'm no good I'd reassure her if I could All I want to do Is to spend some time with you So I can hold you, hold you Plans fail every day I want to hear you say Your love won't be leaving (Run Run, Run Run) Your eyes ain't deceiving (Run Run, Run Run) Fears will soon fade away Smile now, don't be afraid All I want to do Is to spend some time with you So I can hold you, hold you And let me whisper in your ear Don't you worry, they can't hear All I want to do Is to spend some time with you So I can hold you
You And The Night And The Music Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz Performer(s): Julie London; and various other artists
You and the night and the music Fill me with flaming desire Setting my being completely on fire You and the night and the music Thrill me but will we be one After the night and the music are done?
Until the pale light of dawning and daylight Our hearts will be throbbing guitars Morning may come without warning And take away the stars
If we must live for the moment Love till the moment is through After the night and the music die Will I have you
Until the pale light of dawning and daylight Our hearts will be throbbing guitars Morning may come without warning And take away the stars
If we must live for the moment Love till the moment is through After the night and the music die Will I have you
You and the night and the music You and the night You

You And Me Against The World Composer(s): Kenny Ascher; Paul Williams Performer(s): Helen Reddy; and various other artists
You and me against the world Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world When all the others turn their backs and walked away You can count on me to stay
Remember when the circus came to town How you were frightened by the clown Wasn't it nice to be around someone that you knew Someone who was big and strong and looking out for
You and me against the world Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world And for all the times we've cried I always felt that God was on our side
And when one of us is gone And one of us is left to carry on Then remembering will have to do Our memories alone will get us through Think about the days of me and you Of you and me against the world
