    A Man's Gotta Be (What He's Born To Be)
    Composer(s): Robert B. Sherman - Richard M. Sherman
    Performer(s): Warren Oates, Johnny Whitaker, Jeff East



    Muff:
    Take a look at the folks you've knowed
    Young or growed
    Some keep trivin'
    And some keep strivin' in vain
    It's a matter of destiny
    Who you'll be
    The judge or the preacher
    Or pitiful creature
    They's hangin' from a tree

    Whoa, a man's gotta be
    What he's born to be
    So just sit back and wait
    Be it soon or late
    He'll be small or great
    Yeah, a man's gotta be
    What he's born to be
    Just sit back and wait
    Soon or late
    Small or great
    There ain't no fightin' fate

    Doesn't matter what you may try
    By and by
    Some get lucky
    And some get stuck in the mud
    That's the way the ol' world behaves
    Why make waves?
    Sooner or later
    Just as a potater
    We're planted in our graves

    Whoa, a man's gotta be
    What he's born to be
    So just sit back and wait
    Be it soon or late
    He'll be small or great
    Yeah, a man's gotta be
    What he's born to be
    So just sit back and wait
    Soon or late
    Small or great
    There ain't no fightin' fate

    Where's the future
    In plans and schemes
    When it seems
    That ol' grim reaper
    Will soon, be a-leapin' on you?
    When it's over
    You'll know you're bound
    To be found
    Wearin' your Sunday clothes
    Sleepin' in sweet repose
    Six feet under ground

    Muff and Tom:
    Whoa, a man's gotta be
    What he's born to be
    So just sit back and wait
    Be it soon or late
    He'll be small or great
    Yeah, a man's gotta be
    What he's born to be
    Just sit back and wait
    Soon or late
    Small or great
    There ain't no fightin' fate
    No, Sir, there ain't no fightin' fate

    Muff, Tom and Huck:

    Whoa, a man's gotta be
    What he's born to be
    So just sit back and wait
    Be it soon or late
    He'll be small or great
    Yeah, a man's gotta be
    What he's born to be
    Just sit back and wait
    Soon or late
    Small or great
    There ain't no fightin' fate
    No, Sir, there ain't no fightin' fate!

    How Can You Buy Killarney?
    Composer(s): Joseph Hamilton Kennedy;
    Ted Steels; Fred Grant; Gerald Morrison
    Performer(s): Lee Lawrence;
    and various other artists



    An American landed on Erin's green isle
    He gazed at Killarney with rapturous smile
    "How can I buy it?" he said to his guide
    "I'll tell you how" with a smile he replied
    How can you buy all the stars in the skies?
    How can you buy two blue Irish eyes?
    How can you purchase a fond mother's sighs?
    How can you buy Killarney?
    Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile
    the emerald, the shamrock, the Blarney.
    When you can buy all these wonderful things
    then you can buy Killarney

    Nature bestowed all her gifts with a smile
    the emerald, the shamrock, the Blarney
    When you can buy all these wonderful things
    then you can buy Killarney

    A Mano A Mano
    ((French Version: De Jour En Jour (Riccardo Cocciante) - 1978))
    Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti
    First release by: Riccardo Cocciante - 1978



    A mano a mano ti accorgi che il vento
    Ti soffia sul viso e ti ruba un sorriso
    La vecchia stagione che sta per finire
    Ti soffia sul cuore e ti ruba l'amore

    A mano a mano si scioglie nel pianto
    Quel dolce ricordo sbiadito dal tempo
    Di quando vivevi con me in una stanza
    Non c'erano soldi ma tanta speranza

    E a mano a mano mi perdi e ti perdo
    E quello che è stato ci sembra più assurdo
    Di quando la notte eri sempre più vera
    E non come adesso nei sabato sera....
    Ma...dammi la mano e torna vicino
    Può nascere un fiore nel nostro giardino
    Che neanche l'inverno potrà mai gelare
    Può crescere un fiore da questo mio amore per te

    E a mano a mano vedrai che nel tempo
    Lì sopra il tuo viso lo stesso sorriso
    Che il vento crudele ci aveva rubato
    Che torna fedele
    L'amore è tornato da te....

    and various other artists



    What can I say, she's walking away
    From what we've seen
    What can I do, still loving you
    It's all a dream

    How can we hang on to a dream
    How can it ever be the way it seems

    What can I do, she's saying we're through
    With how it was
    What will I try, I still don't see why
    She says what she does

    How can we hang on to a dream
    How can it ever be the way it seems

    What can I say, she's walking away
    From what we've seen
    What can I do, still loving you
    It's all a dream

    How can we hang on to a dream
    How can it ever be the way it seems
    How can we hang on to a dream

    What can I say, she's walking away
    From what we've seen
    What can I do, still loving you
    It's all a dream

    How can we hang on to a dream
    How can it will it be the way it seems

    De Jour En Jour
    ((Adapted from: A Mano A Mano (Riccardo Cocciante) - 1978))
    Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - Marco Luberti - Giovanni Tommaso
    Performer(s): Riccardo Cocciante - 1978; Ivana Spagna - 2001



    De jour en jour, tu comprends que le temps
    Souffle sur ton visage et te vole un sourire
    La belle saison qui s'en va lentement
    A soufflé sur ton coeur et t'a volé tes rêves
    De jour en jour, tout se fond dans les larmes
    Même ce souvenir, affaibli par le temps
    Quand nous vivions, tous deux, dans une chambre
    Sans rien dans les mains que notre seule espérance
    De jour en jour, je te perds, tu t'éloignes
    Et notre passé ne ressemble à rien
    Pourtant on s'est aimés, pourtant on y croyait
    On s'était même jurés de ne jamais se quitter
    Mais donne-moi la main, j'ai envie pour nous deux
    De refaire le chemin, de nous revoir heureux
    De te prendre dans mes bras, de me perdre dans tes yeux
    Tu verras, si l'on veut, que l'on peut recommencer ensemble
    De jour en jour, de défaites en conquêtes
    Voir sur ton visage refleurir un sourire
    La belle saison qui revient lentement
    Nous rappelle la promesse qu'on s'est faite de ne plus se quitter

    How Can Love So Right (Be So Wrong)
    Composer(s): William Brown; Vinnie Castellano;
    Al Goodman; Harry Ray; Lou Toby; Lee Walter
    Performer(s): Harry Ray, Al Goodman, William Brown



    Started out good [We started out so good]
    To end up so bad [To end up so bad]
    Where did we go wrong [Where did we go wrong]
    What happened to the love we once had [And what happened to the love we once had]
    It’s slowly slippin’ away [I feel it slowly slippin’ away]
    How can we let it end [And how can we let it end]
    This love was so right [When this love was so right]
    From the beginning [From the beginning]

    How can love so right be so wrong now
    How can love so right be so wrong now

    Thinking of yesterday
    When love was in full bloom
    The fires from our love
    Could light up a room

    But somewhere along the way
    We made a jagged turn
    The plans we both had
    They’re beginning to burn

    How can love so right be so wrong now
    How can love so right be so wrong now

    How can a love so good turn out so bad
    (So bad, so bad, so bad, yeah)
    Tell me what happened to the love we once had
    (Once had, once had)
    Too bad, so sad, too bad, whoa, how

    How can love so right be so wrong now

    One day your love is glad
    The next day you end up sad
    Ooh, babe, what a thin line
    It’s enough to drive you mad

    One day our love was good and hot
    Next day runnin’ cold
    One day we had a new love
    But now it’s old

    How, how, how
    How can love so right be so wrong now
    How can love so right be so wrong now
    How can love so right be so wrong now
    How can love so right be so wrong now
    How can love so right be so wrong now
    How can love so right be so wrong now
    How can love so right be so wrong now

    I can remember when we walked together
    Sharing a love I thought would last forever
    Moonlight to show the way so we can follow
    Waiting inside her eyes was my tomorrow
    Then somethin' changed her mind, her kisses told me
    I had no lovin' arms to hold me

    Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
    Lonely is a man without love
    Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
    Lonely is a man without love

    Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
    Knowing that it's cloudy above
    Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
    Lonely is a man without love

    I cannot face this world that's fallen down on me
    So, if you see my girl please send her home to me
    Tell her about my heart that's slowly dying
    Say I can't stop myself from crying

    Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
    Lonely is a man without love
    Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
    Lonely is a man without love

    Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
    Knowing that it's cloudy above
    Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
    Lonely is a man without love

    Every day I wake up, then I start to break up
    Lonely is a man without love
    Every day I start out, then I cry my heart out
    Lonely is a man without love

    How can I say in a word or two
    How much it means to be loved by you?

    But I don't know how to start
    What do you do when a dream comes true?
    How can I thank you, sweetheart?

    Doy toda mi vida
    A quién se enamora de mí
    Y no existe nadie
    Que pueda alejarme
    De lo que yo siento por tí

    Dicen que no sabré
    Buscarte flores
    Que no podré ofrecerte
    Ningún regalo

    Dicen que yo he sufrido
    De mal de amores
    Y que mi corazón
    No se ha curado

    La mia ragazza sa che non è vero
    La mia ragazza sa che quando

    Quando m'innamoro
    Io do tutto il bene
    A chi è immamorato di me
    E non c'è nessuno
    Che mi può cambiare
    Che mi può staccare da lei

    Cuando me enamoro
    Doy toda mi vida
    A quién se enamora de mi
    Y no existe nadie
    Que pueda alejarme
    De lo que yo siento por ti

    A chi mi dice vivi
    Un altro giorno
    Todos comprenderán
    Que cuando

    Cuando me enamoro
    Doy toda me vida
    A quién se enamora de mí
    E non c'è nessuno
    Che mi può cambiare
    Che mi può staccare da lei

    How Can I Meet Her?
    Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Jack Keller
    Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



    She's the prettiest girl in town & she sure knows it
    The way she walks and the way she talks sure shows it
    I hate that stuck-up so-&-so
    But there's one thing I gotta know
    Where 's she live, what's her number and how can I meet her?

    She comes on like she's so high-class and well-bred
    But I never saw a girl with such a swell head
    She's got herself a night, I'll wait
    She thinks I'll ask her for a date
    But where 's she live, what's her number and how can I meet her?

    She's in love with herself; you know the kind
    Always puttin' on airs!

    The guys in town all think she's Mona Lisa
    And she's got 'em all goin' out of their way to please her
    Well Miss C's a mystery
    But she don't do a thing to me
    But where 's she live, what's her number and how can I meet her?
    How can I meet her?
    How can I meet her?

    Dicono che non so trovare un fiore
    e che non ho mai niente da regalare
    dicono che c'è un chiodo dentro il mio cuore
    e che per questo non può palpitare
    ma il mio ragazzo sa che non è vero

    quando m'innamoro
    io do tutto il bene
    a chi è innamorato di me

    How Can I Help You Say Goodbye
    Composer(s): Burton Collins; Karen Taylor-Good
    Performer(s): Patty Loveless;
    and various other artists



    Through the back window of a '59 wagon
    I watched my best friend Jamie slippin' further away
    I kept on waving 'till I couldn't see her
    And through my tears, I asked again why we couldn't stay
    Mama whispered softly
    Time will ease your pain
    Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

    And she said
    How can I help you to say goodbye?
    It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
    Come, let me hold you and I will try
    How can I help you to say goodbye?

    I sat on our bed, he packed his suitcase
    I held a picture of our wedding day
    His hands were trembling, we both were crying
    He kissed me gently and then he quickly walked away
    I called up Mama, she said
    Time will ease your pain
    Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

    And she said
    How can I help you to say goodbye?
    It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
    Come, let me hold you and I will try
    How can I help you to say goodbye?

    Sitting with Mama alone in her bedroom
    She opened her eyes, and then squeezed my hand
    She said, I have to go now, my time here is over
    And with her final word, she tried to help me understand
    Mama whispered softly
    Time will ease your pain
    Life's about changing, nothing ever stays the same

    And she said
    How can I help you to say goodbye?
    It's OK to hurt, and it's OK to cry
    Come, let me hold you and I will try
    How can I help you to say goodbye?

    How can I help you to say goodbye?

    Dizem que eu não sei amar a vida
    E que não tenho nada prá oferecer a alguém
    Que em meu coração só há tristeza
    E que não posso nunca amar ninguem

    Mais meu amor bem sabe não ser verdade
    Meu amor carinho já provou

    Que quando me enamoro dou a minha vida
    A quem se enamora de mim
    E não há no mundo quem possa tirar-me
    De felicidade assim

    Quando me enamoro dou a minha vida
    A quem se enamora de mim
    E não há no mundo quem possa tirar-me
    De felicidade assim

    Eu sei que do amor nasce a vida
    E a minha vida eu dou a quem eu amo
    Podem dizer prá mim o que quizerem
    E eu lhes respondo que...

    Que quando me enamoro dou a minha vida
    A quem se enamora de mim
    E não há no mundo quem possa tirar-me

    Quando me enamoro dou a minha vida

    How can I be sure
    In a world that's constantly changin'?
    How can I be sure
    Where I stand with you?

    Whenever I
    Whenever I am away from you
    I wanna die
    'cause you know I wanna stay with you

    How do I know?
    Maybe you're trying to use me
    Flying too high can confuse me
    Touch me but don't take me down

    Whenever I
    Whenever I am away from you
    My alibi is tellin' people I don't care for you
    Maybe I'm just hanging around
    With my head up, upside down
    It's a pity
    I can't seem to find someone
    Who's as pretty 'n' lovely as you

    How can I be sure
    I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow
    I really, really, really, wanna kno-o-ow

    How's the weather?
    Weather or not, we're together
    Together we'll see it much better
    I love you, I love you forever
    You know where I can be found

    How can I be sure
    In a world that's constantly changing?
    How can I be sure?
    I'll be sure with you

    A Man Without A Woman (aka "Silver Dollar" and "Roll A Silver Dollar")
    Composer(s): Alfred Williams
    Performer(s): Billy Murray



    A man without a woman is like a ship without a sail
    Is like a boat without a rudder, a kite without a tail
    A man without a woman is like a wreck upon the sand
    And if there's one thing worse, in this universe
    It's a woman, I said, a woman, it's a woman without a man!

    Now you can roll a silver dollar 'cross the bar-room floor
    And it'll roll, 'cause it's round
    A woman never knows what a good man she's got
    Until she puts him down!

    So listen, my honey, listen to me
    I want you to understand
    Just like a silver dollar goes from hand to hand
    A woman goes from man to man
    (Without a doubt)
    A woman goes from man to man

    How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live?
    Composer(s): Blind Alfred Reed
    Performer(s): Blind Alfred Reed;
    and various other artists



    There once was a time when everything was cheap
    But now prices nearly puts a man to sleep
    When we pay our grocery bill
    We just feel like making our will
    I remember when dry goods were cheap as dirt
    We could take two bits and buy a dandy shirt
    Now we pay three bucks or more
    Maybe get a shirt that another man wore
    Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?
    Well, I used to trade with a man by the name of Gray
    Flour was fifty cents for a twenty-four pound bag
    Now it's a dollar and a half beside
    Just like a-skinning off a flea for the hide
    Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

    Oh, the schools we have today ain't worth a cent
    But they see to it that every child is sent
    If we don't send everyday
    We have a heavy fine to pay
    Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

    Prohibition's good if 'tis conducted right
    There's no sense in shooting a man 'til he shows flight
    Officers kill without a cause
    They complain about funny laws
    Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

    Most all preachers preach for gold and not for souls
    That's what keeps a poor man always in a hole
    We can hardly get our breath
    Taxed and schooled and preached to death
    Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

    Oh, it's time for every man to be awake
    We pay fifty cents a pound when we ask for steak
    When we get our package home
    A little wad of paper with gristle and a bone
    Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

    Well, the doctor comes around with a face all bright
    And he says in a little while you'll be all right
    All he gives is a humbug pill
    A dose of dope and a great big bill
    Tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

    A Man Who Sings
    Composer(s): Richard Landis - Joan Melzer
    Performer(s): Richard Landis; Billy Eckstine



    La La La La La La
    Dayshine
    Break open the wine
    Mid-afternoon
    And I'm not feelin' fine
    Hey big sun
    You're risin' again
    My woman changed her address
    And it's gonna rain
    Well it's gonna rain
    La La La La La La

    But when it rains
    It's just a smalltown rain
    And when it hurts
    It only stings
    Hey sadness
    Come on in
    And do your stuff
    But you can't catch a man
    You'll never catch a man who sings
    La La La La La La

    A man who sings
    La La La La La La
    Knows that is the end
    Everything I mean
    Everything's gonna be fine

    How Blue?
    Composer(s): Charlap; Sweeney
    Performer(s): The Mills Brothers



    How blue is the sky?
    How blue is a stream?
    How blue is a rain?
    How blue is my dream?

    How blue is the moon?
    How blue is the sea?
    How blue is my heart?
    We're apart, and the river weeps for me

    How blue is the sky?
    It's very blue
    How blue is the stream?
    Blue, very blue
    How blue is the rain?
    It's hazy blue
    How blue is my dream?
    It's crazy blue

    How blue is the moon?
    It's moony blue
    How blue is the sea?
    Lagoony blue
    How blue is my heart?
    We're apart, and the river weeps for me

    In the end of twon
    Where I wandered down
    I first met you
    And I let you
    Steal my heart one day
    Then you sailed away
    How I sighed, and cried
    Because I know you won't return

    How blue is the sky?
    It's blarney blue
    How blue is the stream?
    Real gawdy blue
    How blue is the rain?
    It's bluest blue
    How blue is my dream?
    St. Louis blue

    How blue is the moon?
    It's bright and blue
    How blue is the sea?
    Red, white and blue
    How blue is my heart?
    We're apart, and the river weeps for me!

    A Man Like Me
    Composer(s): James Young
    Performer(s): Styx



    Yeah

    Eight days a week with my baby at home
    and you know that she's my tender honey

    baby I've been good
    but you know it's rough
    when you're spending all of my money

    ain't no disputin' I'm your man
    you know I want to tell the world

    you're the only woman
    show me what love can be
    you're the only woman
    that understands a man like me

    rock and roll is a way of life
    but don't you know it brings me down
    music is my game but when I'm home
    I treat a lady like she's wearing a crown

    stranded in the storm 'round Lakewood Way
    you know who comes to mind

    she's the only woman
    show me what love can be
    she's the only woman
    that understands a man like me

    when I'm away with time to kill
    just sittin' around gettin' high
    thinking about your sweet sweet love
    I wanna jump on a plane and fly

    sweet little Susie
    show me what love can be
    she's the only woman
    that understands a man
    she understands a man
    (like me)

    she's the only woman
    she's the only woman
    she's the only woman

    How Bitter The Taste Of Love
    Composer(s): Cook; Greenaway
    Performer(s): David & Jonathan



    If she should wanna take you
    Oh, be careful, or you'll go down
    Take a chance on too much love
    And you'll have to drink it down
    No matter how bitter the taste of love may be

    I, I'm one who's had his share of lovin'
    When this is ??????
    I have had my fill of girls
    Who lead you on
    But oh, bitter to see

    Don't turn away and laugh
    At what I'm telling you
    Don't think that you're the only one
    To make the same mistakes
    As any others do

    If she should wanna take you
    Oh be careful, or you'll go down
    Take a chance on too much love
    And you'll have to drink it down
    No matter how bitter the taste of love may be
    No matter how bitter the taste of love may be

    There was a time when I was cool
    And I wouldn't listen to nobody else
    Thought I was the only one for me
    She couldn't love nobody else
    They say the only way to learn is by mistakes
    But I don't want to see you down
    So listen to me boy
    I'll tell you what it takes

    If she should wanna take you
    Oh, be careful, or you'll go down
    Take a chance on too much love
    And you'll have to drink it down
    No matter how bitter the taste of love may be
    No matter how bitter the taste of love may be
    Woh-oh
    No matter how bitter the taste of love may be
    No matter........
