A Little Bird Told Me
Composer(s): Harvey Brooks
Performer(s): Paula Watson
and multiple other artists



A little bird told me that you love me
And I believe that you do
This little bird told me I was fallin'
Fallin' for no one but you

There's no use denying
Might as well confess
Of all the boys I know, dear
I'm sure I love you best

The little bird told me we'd be happy
And I believe that it's true
A little bird told me we'd be married
And I believe that it's true

This little bird told me when we marry
We'll have a pretty cottage
Not too far
All fenced in like a movie stars

We'll have a great dane pup
We'll call him Ace
Lying there by the fireplace
A goldfish pond and a wishing well
Everything is gonna turn out swell

A little bird told me we'd be happy
And now I know that it's true
Come June it's bound to be true

Hoping That You’re Hoping
Composer(s): Betty E. Harrison
Performer(s): The Louvin Brothers



Every minute of the day, I’m thinking ‘bout you
And without you life is just a crazy dream
Every breath I take I’m hoping that you’re hoping that I’m hoping
You’ll return to me

Can you remember, dear, when you said
If I ever stopped loving you, you’d rather be dead?
Well, dear, I don’t know what on earth changed your mind
No matter who’s holding you, your heart is still mine

Every time I think about the way you cuddled up and snuggled up
And filled me with your charm
I get dizzy in the head 
And then it’s seeming that I’m dreaming
I’m locked in your loving arms

Every minute of the day, I’m thinking ‘bout you
And without you life is just a crazy dream
Every breath I take I’m hoping that you’re hoping that I’m hoping
You’ll return to me

Can you remember, dear, when you said
If I ever stopped loving you, you’d rather be dead?
Well, dear, I don’t know what on earth changed your mind
No matter who’s holding you, your heart is still mine

Every minute of the day, I’m thinking ‘bout you
And without you life is just a crazy dream
Every breath I take I’m hoping that you’re hoping that I’m hoping
You’ll return to me

A Little Ain't Enough
Performer(s): David Lee Roth



Empty pockets never stopped
Me from singing a blue streak, no
And I don't think the devil's
Ever gonna give me back
I don't think so!
'Cause stayin' 'round here takes patience
It's like a full time occupation
I've become a diplomaniac
Yes I did, baby
Hey mean old gal
You know the cross-town bus just rolled
Yeah I'm the same old number
But we still got time to go
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
No it ain't, no it ain't baby!
Yeah I'm believing that you needin' yo relaxation
but honey tell me can you tell that story twice?
I don't think so mama!
'Cause there's a function at the junction
I think ya better get it all ready girl
See I was born without a silver spoon But I'm gonna make a stir
Yes I am!
Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle
One summer break; and then I kissed her
On her daddy's boat and shot accross the lake
And was singin' it
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
No it ain't baby, no it ain't!
Mmmm, said a little ain't enough, baby!
Baby, Please!! Little ain't enough, aw yeah, Wow!
Was vaccinated with a phonograph needle
One summer break Same summer that I kissed her
On her daddy's boat and shot across the lake Yeah!
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me
Oh I say mama living ain't a luxury
Oh I say mama and a lil' ain't enough for me

Hopelessly Devoted To You
Composer(s): John Farrar
Performer(s): Olivia Newton-John



Guess mine is not the first heart broken
my eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
there's just no gettin' over you
Hello, I'm just a fool who's willing to sit around
and wait for you
But baby can't you see, there's nothin' else for me to do 
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
hopelessly devoted to you
My head is saying "fool, forget him"
my heart is saying "don't let go"
Hold on to the end, that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you
But now there's nowhere to hide
since you pushed my love aside I'm not in my head
hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
hopelessly devoted to you

A Little A' This 'N' That
Composer(s): Pete Seeger
Performer(s): Pete Seeger



My grandma, she can make a soup
with a little a' this 'n' that
She can feed the whole sloop group
with a little a' this 'n' that
Stone soup! You know the story
Stone soup! Who needs the glory?
But with grandma cooking, no need to worry
Just a little a' this 'n' that

Grandma likes to make a garden grow
with a little a' this 'n' that
But she likes to have the ground just so
with a little a' this 'n' that
Not too loose and not too firm
In the spring, the ground's all got to be turned
In the fall, lots of compost, to feed the worms
with a little a' this 'n' that

Grandma knows we can build a future
with a little a' this 'n' that
And a few arguments never ever hurt ya
with a little a' this 'n' that
True, this world's in a helluva fix
And some say oil and water don't mix
But they don't know a salad-maker's tricks
with a little a' this 'n' that

The world to come may be like a song
with a little a' this 'n' that
To make ev'rybody want to sing along
with a little a' this 'n' that
A little dissonance ain't no sin
A little skylarking to give us all a grin
Who knows but God's got a plan for the people to win
with a little a' this 'n' that

Hopeless Romantic
Composer(s): Billy Vera
Performer(s): Billy Vera



Sometimes on Sundays
I sit by the TV
Watching sad movies alone
When it gets to the part
Where the little dog dies
I cry
Sometimes I think
I was born just a little
Behind or ahead of my time
I live in a dream world
Of caring and sharing
And good guys and nobody lies

I'm a believer
And much more than anything
I believe in you
You're not a deceiver
And if you told me the ocean went dry
I'd believe it was true

So call me a hopeless romantic
Because I can still believe
I can still believe in true love
And hopeless romantics
Still can find a way
To make true love last these days

A Linda Song
Composer(s): Enoch Anderson - Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



He never wrote a song for Linda
He wrote as though he lived alone
He wrote of dreams that end
And of sad brave men
Inventing worlds he'd never known

But he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
Loved him back to life
When his luck ran low
But he never wrote a Linda song

He nearly broke his heart at writing
Linda kept him from despair
Standing' by his side
through the hungry days
But he hardly seemed to see her there

And he never wrote a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
The one real thing in his crazy world
And he never wrote a Linda song.

When the bills piled up
He couldn't pay
He couldn't dream no more
So he hitched a ride and he rode away
And he left a note for Linda by the door
By the door

When times got rough he'd phone her
Once or twice she took the call
Then she changed her number and she turned her head
And Linda never looked back at all

He'll never write a song for Linda
And she was right there all along
All he knows is no one understands
And he never wrote a Linda song
No he never wrote a Linda song

Hope You're Feeling Better
Composer(s): Gregg Rolie
Performer(s): Santana;
Zlatko Brodaric; Mother Earth; Vallejo



Is that you
Your eyes slowly fading?
Is that you
Your mind full of tears?
Is that you
Searching for a good time?
Is that you
Waiting for all these years?

Chorus:
And I hope you're feeling better
Yes I hope you're feeling good
Yes I hope you're feeling better

Is that you?
Look across the ocean
Is that you
Thinking nothing is really there?
Is that you
Waiting for the sunshine?
Is that you
When all you see is glare?

Chorus

Is that you
Who never saw your baby?
Is that you
Who never had a friend?
Is that you
Moving to a new town?
Is that you
Will diamonds replace your friends?

Light In The Black
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore - Ronnie James Dio
Performer(s): Rainbow; Niji Densetsu



Can't forget his face, what a lonely place
Has he really let us go

All the time that's lost
What's the final cost, will I really get away
All my life it seems just a crazy dream 

Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all, did he really fall

What to do now I don't know
Something is called me back
There's a light in the black
Am I ready to go

I'm coming home breather the air before
Heard the thunder roar, never knew it was for me
Always looking down, lost and never found
Eyes that looked but not to see
All my life it seems just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Like and open door, that you're passed before
But you've never had the key
Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Am I ready to go

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm going back to my home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm coming back
Won't forget his face, what a lonely place
Did he really let us go

Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all, did he really fall

What to do now, well, I know
Something's calling me back
Like a light in the black
Yes, I'm ready to go
I'm here to stay
Here I will stay, I'll stay, I'll stay

Hope For Happiness
Composer(s): Kevin Ayers; Brian Hopper; Mike Ratledge
Performer(s): The Soft Machine;
and various other artists



I can tell... like the ring of a bell
A chime that is clear and true
But if a crack, the sound is flat
Like happiness... that's become untrue

Out of the East, the sun flew West
Trailing its golden spray
My heart burns, when fortune turns
The trail to light my way

Days go by, I watch the sky
My eyes forever quest
The sun returns, though my hope yearns
Forever things point the rest

Sun heart burns, moon glow turns
Stars will trade hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

Flowers grow wild, just for the child
Sniff this sprinkling bloom
When you grow up, hope colours up
The things that cause us gloom

Tell can you now how fun is made?
It's how happiness is really found
Look for advice, be told more than twice
By people all around

Sun heart burns, moon glow turns
Stars will trade hope for happiness
Hope for happiness, happiness, happiness

A Lifetime Of Loneliness
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon; Steve Alaimo



Any day now I will hear you say "Goodbye, my love"
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now I'll be all alone, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Oh my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now I'll be all alone

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay-ay
Until you go forever
I'll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay

Any day now when the clock strikes "Go"
You'll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down cuz you won't be around

Don't fly away, my beautiful bird
Don't, don't fly away

Hope Fell Down
Composer(s): Chris Difford; Glenn Tilbrook
Performer(s): Squeeze



You're banging your drum
You blow your own trumpet
Your ship came in
And your fanfare sunk it
The tide has turned
Our love's gone forever
I stand on the shore
As it floats down the river

[Chorus]
I had such hopes
I had such visions planned
The frames were shot
But now our future's canned
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down

I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
I'm banging my head
You watch without malice
(You watch with no
interest at all)
I bet all your friends
Compare this to Dallas
(I might as well talk
to a brick wall)
So under the arm
I feel the cold shoulder
So I'll once again
Have to play the wild rover

[Chorus]

Do I need all this pressure
Do I bury my temper
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down

A Life Of Illusion
Composer(s): Joe Walsh - Kenny Passarelli
First release by: Joe Walsh - 1981



Sometimes I can't help the feeling that I'm 
Living a life of illusion 
And oh, why can't we let it be 
And see thru the hole in this wall of confusion 
I just can't help the feeling I'm 
Living a life of illusion 

Pow, right between the eyes 
Oh, how nature loves her little surprises 
Wow, it all seems so logical now 
It's just one of her better disguises 
And it comes with no warning 
Nature loves her little surprises 
Continual crisis 

Hey, don't you know it's a waste of your day 
Caught up in endless solutions 
That have no meaning, just another hunch 
Based upon jumping conclusions 
Caught up in endless solutions 
Backed up against a wall of confusion 
Living a life of illusion

Hootin' Owl Blues
Performer(s): Porter Grainger



Midnight on a Sunday, and the clock struck thirteen times
It was midnight on a Sunday 
and the clock struck thirteen times
I was scared and I was frightened, 'cause I sure believe them signs

Lord, I heard the owl a-hootin', I knowed somebody was 'bout to die
Said, I heard the owl a-hootin', I knowed somebody was 'bout to die
Put my head down 'neath the covers, started in to moan and cry

Then early in the morning, the picture on the wall fell down
It was early in the morning, the picture on the wall fell down
And 'tain't no use in talkin', somebody sure is graveyard bound

Hound dogs started howlin', somebody's sure to leave this land
Hound dogs started howlin', somebody's sure to leave this land
Take who you want to, Lordy, but please don't take away my man

Lord, I knows I'm black and ugly, but he's so doggone good and fine
I knows I'm black and ugly, but he's so doggone good and fine
Lord, take 'most anybody, but please don't take this man of mine

Ouais
Mon amour vient de partir
Je sais où je vais mourir
Au fond d'une rue aux murs mouillés
À l'Hôtel des cœurs brisés

Et je serai si seul, mon vieux
Et je serai si seul
Oh! Je serai si seul
À en mourir

Ouais
Des larmes du groom coulent sans cesse
Le portier est tout en noir
Car ils sont restés dans la détresse
On ne pourra plus jamais les revoir

Et ils se sentent si seuls, mon vieux
Ouais, ils se sentent si seuls
Oh, ils se sentent si seuls
Qu'ils pourraient mourir

Ouais
L'hôtel est toujours complet
Mais je sais qu'il y a une place
Pour ceux qui ont le cœur brisé
Par un amour déchiré

Et ils se sentent si seuls, mon vieux
Ouais, ils se sentent si seuls
Ils se sentent si seuls
À en mourir

Ouais
Si ton amour va partir
Que tu choisis de mourir
Va dans la rue aux murs mouillés
À l'Hôtel des cœurs brisés

Où tu seras si seul, mon vieux
Où tu seras si seul
Où tu seras si seul
À en mourir

Ouais
Mon amour vient de partir
Je sais où je vais mourir
Au fond d'une rue aux murs mouillés
À l'Hôtel des cœurs brisés

Et je serai si seul, mon vieux
Oui, je serai si seul
Oui, je serai si seul
À en mourir

A Letter To You
Composer(s): Dennis Linde
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens



I tore my letter up
I couldn't even start
To tell you what's really in my heart
There's only so much that words can say
So I sent you a piece of this beautiful day
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took some flowers in the spring
made a sweet clover ring
And sent it off in a letter to you
Took a song from the lark - the moon from the dark

A spark with the sparkling dew
VVith a kiss and a hug and a whole lot of love
I sent 'em off in a letter to you
I took the mornin' sun peekin' through the trees
And the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze
I folded 'em up - sealed 'em with a kiss

It's the kind of letter that you can't resist
Oh
I want you to know that I took a rainbow . . .

In a day or two - just you wait and see

You're gonna get a special delivery
You'll know the way I feel 
There can't be any doubt
When you open it up
And let the love spill out

Oh
I want you to know
That I took a rainbow . . .
You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you
You know
I sent 'em off
In a letter to you. . . .

Hooray For Hollywood
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Richard Whiting
Performer(s): Johnny 'Scat' Davis;
and various other artists



Hooray for Hollywood
That screwy ballyhooey Hollywood
Where any office boy or young mechanic can be a panic
With just a good looking pan
And any barmaid can be a star maid
If she dances with or without a fan

Hooray for Hollywood
Where you're terrific if you're even good
Where anyone at all from Shirley Temple to Aimee Semple
Is equally understood
Go out and try your luck, you might be Donald Duck
Hooray for Hollywood

Hooray for Hollywood
That phoney super-Coney Hollywood
They come from Chillicothes and Paducas with their bazookas
To get their names up in lights
All armed with photos from local rotos
With their hair in ribbon and legs in tights

Hooray for Hollywood
You may be homely in your neighbourhood
But if you think that you can be an actor, see Mr. Factor
He'll make a monkey look good
Within a half an hour you'll look like Tyrone Power
Hooray for Hollywood

Hooray for Hollywood

A Letter To Myself
Composer(s): Sandra Drayton - Eugene Record
Performer(s): The Chi-Lites; Mike Oreilly; J.D. Smooth



Write a letter, write another letter
Write a letter, write another letter
I'm sealing up this letter
I just finished signing your name
My friends would all be surprised
If they knew I was playing this game
I'll pretend it's a special delivery
And just to give me a hint
I'll use your favorite color
Smear it with your favorite scent
I know you think that I'm crazy
But I can't loose what have I left
So I've decided to write this letter
And send it to myself
So to make my story short
In the mail box I will kiss
This letter that I wrote
And it's stamped with your lovely face
When I'm alone
And I need someone to talk to
I talk to your picture
Get me a pencil and paper
And write all the things
Say all the things I've heard you say before
But with a little extra, extra read all about it
Sugar and spice
I guess it makes me feel kind of nice
I write a letter to myself
Oh, write another letter to myself
I write another letter to myself
Oh, write another letter to myself
When is a home when you're all alone
It seems so full
It seems so full
And yet so empty
Oh, I get my coat
Leave you a note and go to the places
Where we used to be
I pretend you are there
Order dinner for two
Your presence is all in the air
(repeat)

I write a letter to myself, oh, write another letter to myself

Hooray For Hazel
Composer(s): Tommy Roe
Performer(s): Tommy Roe



Hooray for Hazel, she put me down
Hooray for Hazel, she made me her clown
Hooray for Hazel, she's up to her tricks
Hooray for Hazel, she's gettin' her kicks

Hazel's been in love with many a guy
She tells them that she loves 'em and then says goodbye
Hooray for Hazel, I'm now on her list
I'm just another fool that couldn't resist
(repeat chorus)

Hazel never feels any pity or shame
A broken heart is just a part of her evil game
Hooray for Hazel, she did it again
I'll join the ranks of broken hearts that she put me in
(repeat chorus)

Hazel only does things she wants to do
She's selfish and spoiled and she knows that she's cute
Hooray for Hazel, she still gets her way
But there's a time a-comin' we'll be able to say

Hooray for Hazel, there's tears in her eyes
Hooray for Hazel, she know how to cry
Hooray for Hazel, she's meek as a dove 
Hooray for Hazel, she's beggin' for love
Hooray for Hazel, there's tears in her eyes
Hooray for Hazel, she know how to cry
