You Took The Words Right Out Of My Heart Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour; Benny Goodman; Henry Hall; Thelonious Monk; Paul Motian Trio; Martha Tilton
Here in the moonlight I found my sunlight Shining within your eyes Now if you see me confused and dreamy Blame it on this surprise
You took the words right out of my heart And it was like a bolt from the blue You took the words right out of my heart When you said I love you
When you said I love You I stood in a daze awhile For I felt that way too From the moment I saw you smile
I had the words and you in my heart There wasnt room enough for the two You took the words right out of my heart And theres only room for you
You Took My Breath Away Composer(s): The Traveling Wilburys Performer(s): The Traveling Wilburys
You took my breath away Now I want it back again Look at the mess I'm in I don't know what to say I don't know how to feel You don't care anyway All I can do is write You took my breath away You took this song of mine, And changed the little bit It used to sound alright But now the words don't fit It's getting hard to rhyme Impossible to play I've tried it many times You took my breath away
One day when the sun is shining There will be that silver lining
You knocked my headlights out So turn them on again I can't see where I'm going I can't tell where I've been I don't know how to feel This hasn't been my day Seems like I've lost a wheel You took my breath away
You took my breath away You took my breath away You took my breath away

My wish for you Sweet happy life May all your sorrows be gone And your heart begin to sing And if a wish can make it be I wish you'd spend every day Of your happy life with me

You To Me Are Everything Composer(s): Michael Denne; Ken Gold Performer(s): The Real Thing and various other artists
Oohh I would take the stars out of the sky for you Stop the rain from falling if you asked me to I'd do anything for you, your wish is my command I can move a mountain when your hand is in my hand
Words could not express how much you mean to me There must be some other way to make you see If it takes my heart and soul you know I'll pay the price Everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice
Oh you to me are everything the sweetest song that I could sing Oh baby, oh baby To you I guess I'm just a clown Who picks you up each time you're down Oh baby, oh baby You give me just a taste of love To build my hopes upon You know you've got the power girl To keep me holding on So now you've got the best of me C'mon and take the rest of me Oh baby
Though you're close to me we seem so far apart Maybe given time you'll have a change of heart If it takes forever girl then I'm prepared to wait The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late
Oh you to me are everything the sweetest song that I could sing Oh baby, oh baby To you I guess I'm just a clown Who picks you up each time you're down Oh baby, oh baby You give me just a taste of love To build my hopes upon You know you've got the power girl To keep me holding on So now you've got the best of me C'mon and take the rest of me Oh baby
Oh you to me are everything the sweetest song that I could sing Oh baby, oh baby To you I guess I'm just a clown Who picks you up each time you're down Oh baby, oh baby You give me just a taste of love To build my hopes upon You know you've got the power girl To keep me holding on So now you've got the best of me C'mon and take the rest of me Oh baby

She just got here yesterday Things are hot here now they say There's a new gal in town Gals are jealous, there's no doubt All the guys just rave about Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!) It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown
All you gals will get the blues all you pals will surely lose And, there's but one excuse Now I've told you who she was and I've told you what she does Still, give this gal her dues This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!) All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats Oh boy, ain't she the cats? Who's that mister, 't ain't her sister It's Sweet Georgia Brown

Sweet Freedom Composer(s): Rod Temperton Performer(s): Michael McDonald
No more runnin' down the wrong road dancin' to a diff'rent drum Can't you see what's goin' on deep inside your heart? Always searchin' for the real thing livin' like it's far away Just leave all the madness in yesterday You're holdin' the key when you believe it
(Shine sweet freedom) (Shine your light on me) You are the magic you're right where I wanna be (Oh sweet freedom carry me along) We'll keep the spirit alive on and on
We'll be dancin' in the moonlight smilin' with the risin' sun Livin' like we've never done goin' all the way Reachin' out to meet the changes touchin' every shining star The light of tomorrow is right where we are There's no turnin' back from what I'm feeling
(Shine sweet freedom) (Shine your light on me) You are the magic you're right where I wanna be (Oh sweet freedom carry me along) We'll keep the spirit alive on and on
'Cause there'll be starlight all night when we're close together Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes Tonight they're guiding us shinin' till the mornin' light

All day today I was thinking Of a time, a long time ago When I told you I had a dream And in my dream you wanted me for you
I couldn't tell you my secret So I laughed and just shook my head You didn't give up that easy And I still hear the words that you said
You had a dream dear, I had one too My dream was best, 'cause it was of you Come sweetheart tell me, now is the time You tell me your dream, I'll tell you mine
You said you dreamed I had promised That someday we would be wed And that was exactly like my dream And I couldn't believe what you said
But now we're both so happy Everything turned out fine You tell me your dream, I'll tell you mine

Come, sweetheart, tell me Now is the time You tell me your dream And I'll tell you mine

Darlin', 'cause right now is the time All you gotta do is tell me YOUR dream know what I'll do? Baby, I'll tell you mine
I had a dream, dear You had one, too Mine was the best dream Because it was of you

Sweet Forget-Me-Nots (Traditional) Performer(s): Roy Daniels
Fancy brings a thought to me Of a flower bright and fair Her grace and beauty both combine More lovely and more rare Like a maiden I once knew Who shared my happy lot Where we parted when she whispered 'You'll forget me not'
She's graceful and she's charming like the lilies in the pond Time was gliding swiftly by, of her I'd grown so fond The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot Where we parted when she whispered 'You'll forget me not'
I must admit I don't know where But it's really all the same Love grows in the village street And all around the lane I gently took her tiny hand A glance at me she shot She dropped a flower I picked it up 'Twas a sweet forget-me-not'
Then there came a happy day When something that I said Caused her lips to mumble 'Yes' And shortly we were wed Now a cottage by a lane In a little garden spot Grows a flower, you know it well It's a sweet forget-me-not
You Tell Me Why Composer(s): Ron Elliott Performer(s): The Beau Brummels; Leo Kottke
You tell me that I should not cry You tell me "All good things must die" You ask me why I get upset You tell me that I will forget Tell me why-eye-eye
You say I-I can't be blue for long You say I'll find new love that's strong You tell me she was not for me It's just the way love has to be Tell me why-eye-eye
Why I cannot see her She won't let me see her
Te-ell, te-ell, tell me why
You tell me I will find my way Tomorrow won't be like today You tell me life was meant to be One-third good, two-thirds misery Tell me why-eye-eye

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) ...
