Sweetwater Jones Composer(s): Barry Manilow Performer(s): Barry Manilow
Went riding Out in to the country night He left his phone still ringing Ringing by the T.V.'s light
Goodbye to you New York city Goodbye to every thing it used to be You sure can could look good Emerald City Oh but now your just a drag on me
Goodbye to the ringing phone Goodbye to the old grindstone And what use to be Jimmy Jones Now they known as Sweetwater Jones
Sweetwater Jones keep on going Hey Jonese boy your'll doing find Smiling a smile and knowing That your heading fore a better time
Look at your face hey it's shinning Hey beaming like it never could Look at your eyes hey you crying But you never thought you fell so good Goodbye to the ringing phone
Good, good, goodbye to the old grindstone What use to be Jimmy Jones Now they known as Sweetwater Jones Ohhhh ohhh Sweetwater Jones What used to be Jimmy Jones Now they known as Sweetwater Jones Now they known as Sweetwater Jones

Biche, ô ma biche Lorsque tu soulignes Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux Biche, ô ma biche Moi je m'imagine Que ce sont deux papillons bleus
Biche, ô ma biche Lorsque tu soulignes Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux Biche, ô ma biche Moi je m'imagine Que ce sont deux papillons bleus
Tenant d'un main ta petite glace ronde Tu plisses ton front enfantin Et de l'air le plus sérieux du monde Tu dessines en un tour de main Un il de ...
Biche, ô ma biche Lorsque tu soulignes Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux Biche, ô ma biche Moi je m'imagine Que ce sont deux papillons bleus

Biche, ô ma biche Lorsque tu soulignes Au crayon noir tes jolis yeux Biche, ô ma biche Moi je m'imagine Que ce sont deux papillons bleus

Pourquoi tu triches Ô ma biche Je t'en prie de grâce Laisse tes yeux sans rien autour Pour moi ma biche quoi que tu leur fasses Tes yeux sont les yeux de l'amour Tes yeux sont les yeux de l'amour Tes yeux sont les yeux de l'amour....
Young Hearts Run Free Composer(s): David Crawford Performer(s): Candi Staton; and various other artists
What's the sense in sharing, this one and only life Endin' up, just another lost and lonely wife You'll count up the years, and they will be filled with tears Love only breaks up, to start over again You'll get the baby, but you won't have your man While he is busy loving every woman that he can, uh-huh Say I'm gonna leave a hundred times a day It's easier said than done When you just can't break away (when you just can't break away)
Chorus: Oh young hearts run free Never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, my man and me Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true Don't be no fool when love really don't love you, don't love you
It's high time now just one crack at life Who wants to live in, in trouble and strife My mind must be free, to learn all I can about me, uh-hmm
I'm gonna love me, for the rest of my days Encourage the babies every time they say "Self preservation is what's really going on today"
Say I'm gonna turn loose a thousand times a day But how can I turn loose When I just can't break away (when I just can't break away)
Oh young hearts run free They'll never be hung up, hung up like my man and me, you and me Ooh, young hearts, to yourself be true Don't be no fool when love really don't love you, don't love you
Sweets For My Sweet ((French Version: Ma Biche (by Frank Alamo) - 1963)) Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman First release by: The Drifters - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists
If you wanted a star that shines so brightly To match the stardust in your eyes Darling, I would chase that bright star nightly And try to steal it from the skies
Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey Your perfect kiss thrills me so Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey I'll never ever let you go
If you needed a dream to keep you smiling I'd tell the sandman you were blue And I'd ask him to keep that sand piling Until your dreams would all come true
Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey Your perfect kiss thrills me so Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey I'll never ever let you go
If you wanted a love to last forever Then I would send my love your way And my love won't only last forever But forever and a day
Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey Your perfect kiss thrills me so Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey I'll never ever let you go
Cuz I'd give sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey Your perfect kiss thrills me so Sweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey I'll never ever let you go
Young Guns Composer(s): UB40 Performer(s): UB40; Alpha Blondy
Hey hot shot Your'e a one man band The Don on the block With a glock in your hand With a girl and a ride You don't wanna hear Think you're getting respect All you find is fear
The one damn thing you sure to find Is another gun Where you're gonna hide Said you'd never never run I guess you lied You're the fool in the crew that died You're mother cried
Hold your fire, cool your temper, young guns never too bold Hold your fire, just remember, young guns never grow old
The one damn thing you sure to find Is a bigger gun To blow away your pride You're young blood running in the roadside And in the crossfire, innocents died We all cried
Sweetness Composer(s): Jon Anderson - Clive Bailey - Chris Squire Performer(s): Yes
She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon She watches for my moods and never brings me down She puts the sweetness in all around She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside And when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide Today she bought me in and told me where she'd been She put my mind at rest and put the sweetness in I'll ask her for some time to go and look around She puts the sweetness in all around She knows just what to say to make a sunny day And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way Tell me how would you feel with no world of your own And nobody to hold, I just can't see the way I'm so glad it's today and you're here, you're here Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon She puts the sweetness in and stirs it with a spoon She watches for all my moods never brings me down She puts the sweetness in all around She knows just what to say to make a sunny day And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way Oh how I need her so, I know she'll never ever go Do do do do do do She'll never leave me, believe me - no Do do do do do do She'll never go, no no No no no no no no no no no - no!
Young Girl Sunday Blues Composer(s): Marty Balin; Paul Kantner Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
In my heart I have a feeling
and I don't know what I'm gonna do Oh, what a beautiful world, the world, what should I do? What should I do? Don't you know what I have found? Maybe you've found it too Today is made up of yesterday and tomorrow Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow
One side of me is filled with brightness, no matter what I might say The days are made with waterfall colors, couldn't I make you stay? If rain slides the sides of my face must be a rainy day But I get lost in yesterday and tomorrow, tomorrow Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow
I walk beside you laughing and I'm high, don't try to touch me with words When I tell you I dream it might seem like silence, but so much can be heard I think of things, what loving you brings, maybe my thing is her Today is made of yesterday and tomorrow Young girl Sunday blues, and all her sorrow
Ah! come into my mind, let yourself wander free and easy Ah! come into my life, Sunday blues girl, young and new girl You're the only true girl here can please me I said, "Please me, yeah! Please me! Please me! Please me!"
You have got me running around Like a bee without a hive Ive got two feet on the ground And its great to be alive But you turned me old and grey Before my wedding day Oh Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty And dont you run away
Hear me calling to you, Sweetie, Sweetie Yes, Sweetie, Sweetie Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty And dont you run away
Im calling Sweetie, Sweetie My Sweetie, Sweetie Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty And dont you run away
Now tell me, whats a fellow to do When a gal dont want to know I try everything new But I guess I must be slow Cos the only game you play Is keeping me at bay Oh Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty And dont you run away
Hear me calling to you, Sweetie, Sweetie My, Sweetie, Sweetie Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty And dont you run away
Come on Darling, Sweetie, Sweetie Tell me, Sweetie, Sweetie My Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty And dont you run away
Young Girl Composer(s): Dee Clark; Jerry Fuller Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap
Young girl, get out of my mind My love for you is way out of line Better run, girl You're much too young, girl With all the charms of a woman You've kept the secret of your youth You led me to believe You're old enough To give me Love And now it hurts to know the truth Oh Beneath your perfume and make-up You're just a baby in disguise And though you know That it is wrong to be Alone with me That come on look is in your eyes Oh So hurry home to your mama I'm sure she wonders where you are Get out of here Before I have the time To change my mind 'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far Oh Young girl

Sweetie O'mine Composer(s): Haven Gillespie - Egbert Van Alstyne
Dearie, hear the joyful bells aringing gay While the news is spreading of our wedding day Cupid's in the aisle dressed in his Sunday smile Awaiting there to guide us on our way
Since my sweetie named the day and everything I've been saving up my pay to buy the ring All the folks I see are wishing they were me They say I'm as lucky as can be
The choir is singing, just for that Sweetie o' mine The chimes are ringing for me and Sweetie o' mine And to a cozy bungalow Where pretty roses grow I'll soon be bringing, that Sweetie o' mine Since dear old school days she's been a Sweetie o' mine Since golden rule days, I've loved her all of the time And you can tell the world for me, she's always going to be The same old sweetheart, that Sweetie o' mine

Sweethearts In The Spring Performer(s): Foster & Allen
It was on a summer's evening when all the world was still Two lovers rambled down the lane to an old and wooden mill He was leaving on the 'morrow for lands far far away And as she nestles close to him she heard him softly say
I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring And when all the wrongs are righted Our hearts will be united I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring
On the quay there stands a soldier in uniform so bright He's waiting for a big troop ship to take him to the fight The bugles they are blowing and the master climbed it high And as the cable settled down from below there comes a sight
I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring And when all the wrongs are righted Our hearts will be united I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring
In a cottage by a fireside sits a maiden young and fair And as the tears roll down her cheeks, her letter she put there And as she read it o'er and o'er it was more than she could bear But ever' morning dawned for her she was gone for all was fair
So they laid in her in the graveyard in the Spring And for her those wedding bells will never ring For among the dead and dying her soldier boy was lying When they laid her in the graveyard i-in the Spring
I'll return my little sweetheart in the Spring And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring And when all the wrongs are righted Our hearts will be ...
Young Blood Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Doc Pomus; Mike Stoller Performer(s): The Beatles; and various other artists
I saw her standing on the corner a yellow ribbon in her hair I couldn't stop myself from calling look a-there, look a-there look a-there, look a-there Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood I can't get you out of my mind
I took one look and I was fractured I tried to walk but I was lame I tried to talk but I just stuttered: well what's your name, what's your name well what's your name, what's your name Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood I can't get you out of my mind
A crazy stop, she was the top I tried to follow her all the way home Things went bad, I met her dad he said: you'd better leave my daughter alone
Well I tried to (...) I saw the rising of the sun and all along my heart was falling while you're the one, you're the one while you're the one, you're the one Young Blood, Young Blood, Young Blood I can't get you out of my mind
A crazy stop, she was the top I tried to follow her all the way home Things went bad, I met her dad he said: you'd better leave my daughter alone

Sweetheart Waltz Composer(s): Jack Caddigan - Chick Story
Dearie now tell me, why do you sigh Why do you let all the Sunshine pass bye Life's all too short for a worry or care When melody fills the air Let us
Back of the shadows, there lies the sun Waiting the dawning when night-time is done Don't hide the Sun with a sorrowful sigh Let all your clouds pass you by Let us
Dance a good old sweet-heart waltz In a good old fashioned way Let us glide along while life's a song And there's Moonlight on the bay Let us sing a song of brighter days And forget each other's faults There are miles and miles of Sunny Smiles When dancing a sweet-heart waltz
Young At Heart Composer(s): Carolyn Leigh; Johnny Richards Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
Fairy tales can come true It can happen to you if you're young at heart (young at heart) For it's hard, you will find To be narrow of mind if you're young at heart (young at heart)
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams And life gets more exciting with each passing day And love is either in your heart or on the way
Don't you know that it's worth Every treasure on earth to be young at heart (young at heart) For as rich as you are It's much better by far to be young at heart (young at heart)
And if you should survive to a hundred and five Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive And here is the best part, you have a head start If you are among the very young at heart
(Don't you know that it's worth) (Every treasure on earth to be young at heart) (For as rich as you are) (It's much better by far to be young at heart)
And if you should survive to a hundred and five Look at all you'll derive out of bein' alive And here is the best part, you have a head start If you are among the very young at heart
The Sweetheart Tree

Performer(s): Henry Mancini
and multiple other artists
They say there's a tree in the forest
A tree that will give you a sign
Come along with me to the Sweetheart Tree
Come and carve your name next to mine

The one you've been waiting for
Big blossoms of white will burst into sight
And your love will be true evermore
Young And Warm And Wonderful Composer(s): Louis C. Singer; Hy Zaret Performer(s): Tony Bennett; Claudio Casanova; Peter Nero; Roger Williams
Everywhere that beauty glows you are Everywhere an orchid grows you are Everything that's young and gay, brighter than a holiday Everywhere the angels play you are
You're like Paris in April and May You're New York on a silvery day A Swiss Alp as the sun grows fainter You're Loch Lomond when autumn is the painter You're Moonlight on a night in Capri And Cape Cod looking out at the sea You're all places that leave me breathless And no wonder: you're all the world to me
You're Lake Como when dawn is aglow You're Sun Valley right after a snow A museum, a Persian palace You're my shining Aurora Borealis You're like Christmas at home by a tree The blue calm of a tropical sea You're all places that leave me breathless And no wonder: you're all the world to me
