    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!"

    Sweetie, Sweetie
    Composer(s): Bart
    Performer(s): Edmundo Ros



    You have got me running around
    Like a bee without a hive
    I’ve got two feet on the ground
    And it’s great to be alive
    But you turned me old and grey
    Before my wedding day
    Oh Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
    And don’t you run away

    Hear me calling to you, Sweetie, Sweetie
    Yes, Sweetie, Sweetie
    Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
    And don’t you run away

    I’m calling Sweetie, Sweetie
    My Sweetie, Sweetie
    Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
    And don’t you run away

    Now tell me, what’s a fellow to do
    When a gal don’t 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 don’t you run away

    Hear me calling to you, Sweetie, Sweetie
    My, Sweetie, Sweetie
    Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
    And don’t you run away

    Come on Darling, Sweetie, Sweetie
    Tell me, Sweetie, Sweetie
    My Sweetie, Sweetie, hear my entreaty
    And don’t 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 ...

    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 (...)

    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

    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

    Everywhere that beauty glows you are
    Everywhere an orchid grows 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

    Sweetheart Time
    Composer(s): Harold Robe - Milbury H. Ryder



    Night time in June, right time to spoon, man in the moon
    looking down from above, breezes are light, stars shining bright
    fireflies are flashing their wireless above roses in bloom
    spreading perfume bluebells are ringing their wedding ring chime
    crickets and whippoor wills calling their trills, they all know it's sweetheart time

    Now just we two, swear to be true, man in the moon dear, is laughing aloud
    old mister moon, please let us spoon, can't you find business behind some dark cloud
    winds softly sigh, while nightbirds cry nature is drowsy and everything is fine
    now, dear, it's not a miss to steal a kiss, they all do in sweetheart time

    It's sweetheart time, just good old sweetheart time
    so, honey, under pale moon beams, we'll plan love's sweetest dreams
    hug, squeeze, cupid decrees, in sweetheart time, I'll have you all for mine
    we'll find a dear little cozy nest, in that bright rosy best, sweetheart time

    Young and foolish, why is it wrong to be
    Young and foolish, we haven’t long to be
    Soon enough the carefree days, the sunlit days go by
    Soon enough, the bluebird has to fly

    We were foolish, one day we fell in love
    Now we wonder what we were dreaming of
    Smiling in the sunlight, laughing in the rain
    I wish that we were young and foolish again

    We were foolish, one day we fell in love
    Now we wonder what we were dreaming of
    Smiling in the sunlight, laughing in the rain
    I wish that we were young and foolish again

    Sweetheart May
    (Traditional)



    Long ago an angel I knew, if ever a one was seen
    She was a bonnie sweet child of eight, and I was just eighteen
    And every night she'd sit on my knee, her arms round my neck and say
    I love you, I love you, and when I grow big, now promise to marry your May

    Sweetheart May, when you grow up one day
    You may marry another and my love betray
    But I'll wait for you, and then we shall see
    What you will do when I ask you to marry me

    I went one day to countries away, to lands over sea to tread
    Trials and troubles of life I met, as years lay on my head
    But every night I'd think of that child, her smile and her young love-sigh
    I longed just to see her grown up sweet eighteen, my May of the days gone by

    I came back again, and I found her at last to a beautiful woman grown
    I asked her to think of those old happy days, but the memory was mine alone
    I stood there before her, I sang the old song, she couldn't recall it
    I begged her to try
    She said, I forget you; besides we must part, to-morrow I'm going to be married; good-bye

    You're so young and beautiful and I love you so
    Your lips so red, your eyes that shine
    Shame the stars that glow
    So fill these lonely arms of mine
    And kiss me tenderly
    Then you'll be forever young
    And beautiful to me

    You're so young and beautiful, you're everything I love
    Your angel smile, your gentle touch
    Are all I'm dreaming of
    Oh take this heart I offer you
    And never set me free
    Then you'll be forever young
    And beautiful to me

    Sweetheart
    Composer(s): Maurice Gibb - Barry Gibb - Sigmund Romberg
    Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck



    If your heart tells you so that you should leave me
    Don't try to forget , you and I never met
    And before you fly, one kiss should tell me why
    You've forgotten all the words that you once said

    Long as I've got you there beside me
    Long as you're there to stand and guide me
    The love we share no one can ever tear apart
    Long as I've got this life I'm living
    Long as it's you the love I'm with then
    I'll keep on calling you sweetheart

    If my love for you can't make you happy
    Just open the door and you won't see my anymore
    And before you fly , one kiss should tell me why
    You've forgotten all the words that you once said
    When you said

    Long as I've got you there beside me
    Long as you're there to stand and guide me
    The love we share no one could ever tear apart
    Long as I've got this life I'm living
    Long as it's you the love I'm with then
    I'll keep on calling you sweetheart

    And I'll keep on calling you sweetheart

    Young Americans
    Composer(s): David Bowie
    Performer(s): David Bowie;
    and various other artists



    They pulled in just behind the bridge
    He lays her down, he frowns
    "Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?"
    He kissed her then and there
    She took his ring, took his babies
    It took him minutes, took her nowhere
    Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but

    All night
    She wants the young American
    Young American, young American, she wants the young American
    All right
    She wants the young American

    Scanning life through the picture windows
    She finds the slinky vagabond
    He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but
    Heaven forbid, she'll take anything
    But the freak, and his type, all for nothing
    He misses a step and cuts his hand, but
    Showing nothing, he swoops like a song
    She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?"

    All night
    She wants the young American
    Young American, young American, she wants the young American
    All right
    She wants the young American

    All the way from Washington
    Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor
    "We live for just these twenty years
    Do we have to die for the fifty more?"

    All night
    He wants the young American
    Young American, young American, he wants the young American
    All right
    He wants the young American

    Do you remember, your President Nixon?
    Do you remember, the bills you have to pay
    Or even yesterday?

    Have you been an un-American?
    Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout
    Leather, leather everywhere, and
    Not a myth left from the ghetto
    Well, well, well, would you carry a razor
    In case, just in case of depression
    Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors
    Blushing at all the Afro-Sheeners
    Ain't that close to love?
    Well, ain't that poster love?
    Well, it ain't that Barbie doll
    Her heart's been broken just like you have

    All night
    You want the young American
    Young American, young American, you want the young American
    All right
    You want the young American

    You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler
    A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady’s got a Chrysler
    Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train
    Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands shake
    I heard the news today, oh boy
    I got a suite and you got defeat
    Ain't there a man you can say no more?
    And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw?
    And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging?
    Ain't there a pen that will write before they die?
    Ain't you proud that you've still got faces?
    Ain't there one damn song that can make me
    break down and cry?

    All night
    I want the young American
    Young American, young American, I want the young American
    All right
    I want the young American
    Young American
    Young American, young American, I want the young American
    (I want with you, I want with you want)
    All right
    (You want it, I want you you, you want I, I want you want)
    Young American, young American, I want the young American
    (I want to want, to want, to want , to want I, I want you)
    All right
    (Lord I wanted the young American)
    (young American)
    Young American, Young American
    I want the young American
