You Take The Table And I'll Take The Chairs Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk Performer(s): Bob Gallion; June Webb; Miki and Griff; Claude Gray
So here we are breakin' up our home To go our sep'rate ways all alone Go take your love you just wouldn't share You take the table and I'll take the chairs
Breaking up a home that was so sweet Sorting out the things we want to keep A perfect way to start a life of care You take the table and I'll take the chairs
What a shame to see such pretty things Seperated like our wedding rings From the basement to the attic stair You take the table and I'll take the chairs
Life is oh so useless since you're gone All I do is sit and weep alone With a heart that's too blue to bear Since you took the table and I took the chairs
Sweet Eloise Composer(s): Mack David - Russ Morgan Performer(s): Glenn Miller and multiple other artists
Sweet Eloise, sing the birds in the trees When she is near you can hear them Singing sweet melodies They're just for my Eloise (My Eloise)
Sweet Eloise is a beautiful sight Old Mr. Moon comes around to Look at her every night Her smile's a warm summer breeze (The smile of Eloise)
And though there may be clouds in the skies There's always sunshine deep in her eyes In case you didn't know, roses grow hopin' some day They'll be pressed and caressed in her bouquet
Sweet Eloise is so lovely to love You will agree she's the only girl That you're dreamin' of But you'll be wastin' your time `Cause Eloise is all mine (She's all mine)
Sweet Eloise is so lovely to love That you will agree she's the only girl That you're dreamin' of But you'll be wastin' your time `Cause Eloise is all mine (So don't you give her a line `cause Eloise is all mine)
You Take My Breath Away
Composer(s): Thereza Bazar - David Van Day
Performer(s): Dollar
Funny faces look at the way that we live
We're on prime time
Going places you're just so good to be with
Huh you're a major sensation
Don't hand around we gotta live it while we can
And you set the style and when I see you smile
I don't believe you do what you do
'Cause you take my breath away
We gotta live every day now
You take my breath away want to say
It doesn't happen everyday someone like you
Should be there to help me through
Oh you take my breath away
Strange sensations feel like I'm floating on air
Like the sunshine
Good vibrations follow you round everywhere
You know you're walking a fine line
Don't hang around we gotta live it while we can
And you set the style and when I see you smile
I don't believe you do what you do
'Cause you take my breath away
We gotta live every day now
You take my breath away want to say
It doesn't happen everyday someone like you
Should be there to help me through
Oh you take my breath away
It doesn't happen everyday someone like you
Should be there to help me through
Why don't you admit how you take my breath away
We gotta live everyday now
You (you) take my breath away
We gotta live everyday now
You take my breath away
We gotta live everyday now
(Repeat) ...
Sweet Dreams Composer(s): Don Gibson First release by: Don Gibson - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
Sweet dreams of you Every night I go through Why can't I forget you and start my life anew Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me, it's plain I should know I'll never wear your ring I should hate you the whole night through Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you Things I know can't come true Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You Stole My Bell Composer(s): Elvis Costello; Cait O'rjordan Performer(s): Elvis Costello
There is a place Underneath the staircase Where I keep the evidence Of what once would offer peace In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride Should I pick the locks? Should I peek inside? Can I stand the sight of those happy days? Should I strike a match, burn them all away?
Cos you stole my bell And you broke my chime And the clock spins round but it won't keep time There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x2)
So here we are But it's not quite like we thought Those things were priceless then Now I know they can't be bought In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin Should I lift the lid? Should I look within? Was it my last chance or my first mistake? Is it just a step that we'll never take?
Cos you stole my bell And you broke my chime And the clock spins round but it won't keep time There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you

You Stepped Out Of A Dream Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Gus Kahn Performer(s): Tony Martin; and various other artists
You Stepped out of a dream You are too wonderful To be what you seem
Could there be eyes like yours? Could there be lips like yours? Could there be smiles like yours, Honest and truly?
You Stepped out of a cloud I want to take you away Away from the crowd And have you all to myself Alone and apart Out of a dream Safe into my heart
~interlude~
You Stepped out of a cloud I want to take you away Away from the crowd And have you all to myself Alone and apart Out of a dream Safe into my heart ... Wa-dee-la-la Out of a dream!

Déprime t'as plus la prime Je te renvoie dans ton abime Tu n'as plus de quoi faire de la frime J'ai le moral et les idées cleans
Déprime à quoi tu rimes Avec ses joies que tu abimes Passe ton chemin, tu as mauvaise mine Ton image de marque décline

Where it began I can't begin to knowin' But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring And spring became the summer Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touchin' hands Reachin' out Touchin' me Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would
But now I Look at the night And it don't seem so lonely We fill it up with only two And when I hurt Hurtin' runs off my shoulders How can I hurt when I'm with you
Warm, touchin' warm Reachin' out Touchin' me Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would Oh, no, no
Sweet Caroline Good times never seemed so good I've been inclined To believe they never would Sweet Caroline

You Should Have Seen The Way He Looked At Me Composer(s): Jeff Barry; Ellie Greenwich Performer(s): The Dixie Cups
I saw him at the party Standing in the corner Looking just as good as he could be And when he caught my eye I knew I was a goner You should have seen the way he looked at me
Well, I tell you He really knocked me dead So, I don't quite remember Exactly what he said I just stood there And I shook my head Cause, you should have seen the way he looked at me Yeah, yeah, yeah
The music started playing And before I knew it He put his arms around me tenderly He asked me for a kiss And I just had to do it You should have seen the way he looked at me
Well, you know that He walked me home that night There was starlight and moonlight Everything was right So I kissed him, with all my might And you should have seen the way he looked at me Yeah, Whoa-oh-oh-no
He didn't let me down Cause the very next day You know he came around And he told me that he loved me Yes, he really did now He said that he was mine eternally I looked him in the eye And said, you wouldn't kid now You should have seen the way he looked at me
And then one day I wore something new Something old, and borrowed, And something blue I remember, when he said, I do You should have seen the way he looked at me

Sweet Baby James Composer(s): James Taylor First release by: James Taylor - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
There is a young cowboy who lives on the range His horse and his cattle were his only companions He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon Waiting for summer, his pastures to change As the moon rises he sits by his fire Thinking about women and glasses of beer He's closing his eyes as the dogies retire He sings out a song which is soft but is clear As if maybe someone could hear
Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rock a bye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colours i choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rock a bye sweet baby James
Now the first of december was covered with snow So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Though the birches seemed dreamlike On account of that frosting With 10 miles behind me and 10,000 more to go There's a song that they sing When they take to the highway There's a song that they sing When they take to the sea A song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep But singing works just fine for me
Goodnight you moonlight ladies Rock a bye sweet baby James Deep greens and blues are the colours i choose Won't you let me go down in my dreams And rock a bye sweet baby James
