Schöner Gigolo, Armer Gigolo ((English Version: Just A Gigolo (by Leo Reisman) - 1931)) Composer(s): Julius Brammer - Leonello Casucci First recording: Richard Tauber - 1929
Der kleine Leutnant, er war der beste Reiter und alle Herzen, sie flogen ihm gleich zu Er konnte küssen und tanzen, wie kein zweiter er kam und sah und siegte auch im Nu Viel Monde hat er gekämpft in Frankreich drüben bald an der Weichsel, Piave, irgendwo jetzt ist ihm nichts mehr geblieben er wurde Gigolo.
Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo, denke nicht mehr an die Zeiten wo du als Husar, goldverschnürt sogar, konntest durch die Strassen reiten Uniform passée, Liebchen sagt: Adieu! Schöne Welt du gingst in Fransen! Wenn das Herz dir auch bricht, zeig' ein lachendes Gesicht man zahlt und du musst tanzen
Er wurde Tänzer, die Erde dreht sich weiter der kleine Leutnant tanzt für sein täglich Brot Wenn nur das Mütterchen einmal wieder heiter sie darf nichts fühlen mehr von bittrer Not Dort wo beim Sekt er gelauscht der schönen Lieder wo er getanzt hat in Dulci Jubilo dort tanz er täglich, jetzt wieder doch nur als Gigolo
Were You Sincere? Composer(s): Vincent Rose - Lyrics: Jack Meskill Performer(s): Bing Crosby and multiple other artists
One night lives forever in my memory That night we met beneath the moon And you vowed that for ever my love you would be! Oh tell me, how could you forget so soon?
Were you sincere when you made a vow That night 'neath the moon above? That night when you said, "I love you!" Were you sincere?
Were you sincere when you held my hand And said you were mine alone And I was your one and only Were you sincere?
To think you promised me that we'd never be apart And to think I trusted you and woke with a broken heart!
Must I regret that night that we met The night heaven seemed so near? Were you just pretending, dear Or were you sincere?
To think you promised me that we'd never be apart And to think I trusted you, then I woke with a broken heart!
Must I regret that night that we met The night heaven seemed so near? Were you just pretending, dear Or were you sincere?
How I Love You Composer(s): Sandro Anderle; Oscar Anderle; Pamela Phillips-Oland Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck
You hold me in your eyes In your own special way I wonder how you know The things I never say I can't imagine life Without you by my side The power of your love Is all I need tonight
I know there have been times That I have caused you pain I'd turn them all around If I could start again There is something I must say I know it's overdue The sweetest thing I've known Or ever called my own Begins and ends with you
How I love you How I love you
The softness of your lips The color of your hair The memory of your touch Remains when you're not there The echoes of your laughter When I'm feeling blue The meaning of my life It all begins with you
So come into my arms Lay down by my side The moon is always there To keep our love alight I've reached so very high For everything that's mine And at the top is you I want you for all time And dream forever you
How I love you How I love you
The softness of your lips The color of your hair The memory of your touch Remains when you're not there The echoes of your laughter When I'm feeling blue The meaning of my life It all begins with you
So come into my arms Lay down by my side The moon is always there To keep our love alight You know me like a book You've read a thousand times We know each other's hearts We read each other's minds These feelings are always new
A Minute Of Your Time Composer(s): Clive Westlake Performer(s): Tom Jones; Melodian Pops Orch.
For you to think of me It would only take a minute of your time To spare one thought for me Would you miss just one minute of your time?
When you are far away I'd like to be part of your time each day So think of me
A minute of your time Is all it takes to bring us close When we are far apart
And if I'm on your mind I know that there's a chance You'll find that I'm there in your heart One minute ev'ry day May help to keep the wolf away Until that moment you are back to stay But better still I'd like to think of me Ev'ry minute of your time
A Minute Of Your Time Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
I've got a good position here, my boss is proud of me He said so in a letter that he wrote the other week My parents too are happy, which is nice For without their encouragement I never would have tried But now much to their horror, I've decided I might quit What's the point of working hard when I can hardly live The key to my survival lies with you Don't ask me what you've got, I only know that while you do For a minute of your time, a minute of your time I would gladly go with you anywhere For a minute of your time, a minute of your time I'd be happy in despair
It's funny how our lives are mapped out in a certain way Call it fatalistic if you want to that's okay The point I'm trying to make, is, as a rule An error on your part can be a costly one for you But looking back how often have you thought, well I'll be blowed If it wasn't for that error, I'd be on a different road Which leads me very nicely round to you You know how much I love you and until you love me too
For a minute of your time a minute of your time I would gladly go with you anywhere For a minute of your time, a minute of your time I'd be happy in despair For a minute of your time, a minute of your time Even though it may not seem that long to you For a minute of your time, a minute of your time Even less for me would do
I don't suppose you'd ever think of moving in with me Lots of people do it, it's quite common I believe This may come as a shock, even to you But I'm the one who feels this way and here's what I would do For a minute of your time, ...
How How Composer(s): Boris Blank; Dieter Meier Performer(s): Yello
My life is in a serious mess My baby is gone, there's heavy mental stress I never knew love but I know it now I wanna give her my heart, but how how
I never knew love but I know it now I wanna give her my heart, but how how How how
Maybe I should buy her a beautiful dress Maybe gold and diamonds, and no more stress I decide to call her, it drives me insane Then she's on the line and tells me "don't be vain"
I decide to call her, it drives me insane But then she's on the line and tells me I take the blame You [? ] little fool and you know what I miss No diamonds, no gold, just a kiss Just a kiss
I got nothing to lose so I know it doesn't matter I do it the old way and write her a letter I know how much I love you and I need you now You're the one and only and you tell me how
Now I'm out of trouble and a serious mess My baby is back, no more stress You know how much I love you and I need you now I'll give you my heart, just tell me how how How how
A Miner's Life Composer(s): Keith Little Performer(s): The Country Gentlemen
Fair warnin' to your neighbor For all of those who labor At tryin' to make a livin' underground Matters not for what you're seeking, Chances are you'll weakin' In time the odds will turn your life around
In the coal fields of Kentucky Man they say you're lucky In the black lung don't put you underground For while you're swollen with the gold dust You're breathin' in the course dust Your silicosis finally dragged you down
Ch. Hear that cold steel a ringin' Hear them hammers swingin' low A minor's life ain't hardly worth it all Hear them tommy-knockers knockin' Feel the reelin' and rockin' Afraid it's goin' a come in after all
For every minor who hits pay dirt And lives to tell it under A thousand more arw swallowed in the mine And for each decent minin' outfit There's a hundred other misfits Who never plan to see a man retire
So when choosin' your profession Take heed and learn a lesson From those who've lived to labor underground Cause they've got a different story For minin' and its glory They'd give it all to turn their life around
How High The Moon Composer(s): Nancy Hamilton; Morgan Lewis Performer(s): Les Paul & Mary Ford; and various other artists
Somewhere there's music How faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven How high the moon There is no moon above When love is far away too Till it comes true That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music How near, how far Somewhere there's heaven It's where you are The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon
Somewhere there's music How faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven How high the moon The darkest night would shine If you would come to me soon Until you will, how still my heart How high the moon
A Millones De Km De Aquí Composer(s): Miguel Bosé - Lanfranco Ferrario - Massimo Grilli Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Soy yo acaso quien te confunde O eres tú quien no se aclara Soy yo acaso quien no te entiende O eres tú quien sabe y calla O eres tú quien se lo calla Puede ser que yo me esconda Pero tú, tú no me buscas Tú no me buscas Puede ser que yo llegue tarde Y que más da si tú no me esperas Que más da si no me esperas Y en esta noche Maldita última noche Seamos justos, digámonos que sí O que esta noche pa siempre nos distancie A millones de Km de aquí Llones de Km de aquí Llones de Km de aquí... Soy yo acaso quién sabe a poco O eres tú quien sabe a nada Soy yo acaso quien no te toca O puede ser que tu no me sientas ¿quién de quien tiene el alma en pena? ¿quién de dos no se sincera? Puedo ser todo un mar abierto Y que más da si no me navegas Que más da si no navegas Y en esta noche Maldita y puta noche Seamos serios, digámonos que sí O que esta noche pa siempre nos distancie A millones de Km de aquí Porque esta noche Podemos acercarnos Basta mirarnos, nos basta un solo sí O qué remedio esta noche nos condene A millones de Km Llones de Km Llones de Km de aquí... Soy yo acaso O eres tú... Millones de Km de aquí...
When The Night Comes Composer(s): Bryan Adams; Jim Vallance; Diane Warren Performer(s): Joe Cocker
Hold on I'll be back for you It won't be long But for now there's something else That's calling me So take me down a lonesome road Point me east and let me go That suitcase weighs me down With memories
I just wanna be the one you run to I just wanna be the one you come to I just wanna be there for someone When the night comes Let's put all the cares behind us And go where they'll never find us I just wanna be there beside you When the night comes When the night comes
Two spirits in the night That can leave before the morning light When there's nothing left to lose And nothing left to fear So meet me on the edge of town Won't keep you waiting I'll be 'round Then you and I We'll just roll right out of here
I just wanna be the one you run to I just wanna be the one you come to I just wanna be there for someone When the night comes Let's put all the cares behind us And go where they'll never find us I just wanna be there beside you When the night comes When the night comes
I know there'll be a time for you and I Just take my hand and run away Think of all the pieces of the shattered dream We're gonna make it out some day We'll be coming back Coming back to stay When the night comes
I wanna be the one you run to When the night comes To be the one you'd come to I wanna be the one you run to Ooh I just wanna be the one you run to Wanna be the one you come to I just wanna be there for someone When the night comes Let's put all the cares behind us And go where they'll never find us I just wanna be there beside you When the night comes When the night comes Ah ah when the night comes When the night rolls down Ah ah when the night comes I wanna be with you Ah ah when the night comes Oh ah when the night comes in Ah ah oh Ah ah when the night comes When the night comes Ah ah when the night comes I wanna be right by your side Ah ah when the night comes Yes baby Ah ah oh Don't do that to me woman Ah ah oh Ever stayed when the night time gets in here Ah ah when the night comes I wanna rise and up in the When the night comes Ah ah when the night comes Ah ah oh Love me
How Great Thou Art Composer(s): Carl G. Boberg; R.J. Hughes Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Chorus: Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, How great Thou art Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin
Chorus
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
My love has no beginning, my love has no end No front no back, my love won't bend I'm in the middle, I'm lost in a spin Loving you And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know How glad I am
My love has no bottom, my love has no top My love won't rise, my love won't drop I'm in the middle, and I can't stop Loving you And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know How glad I am
I wish I was a poet, so that I could express What I, what I like to say I wish I was an artist, so that I could paint a picture Of how I feel, how I feel today, today
My love has no walls on either side That makes my love whiter than white I'm in the middle, no and I can't hide Loving you And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know How glad I am No you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know How glad I am How glad I am How glad I am
A Million To One Composer(s): Phil Medley - Teddy Randazzo Performer(s): Jimmy Charles and multiple other artists
A million to one That's what our folks think about this love of ours A million to one They say that our love will fade like yesterday's flowers They're betting everything that our love won't survive They're hoping (hoping) in time we'll forget Each others' lies.
A million to one They feel we're too young to know the meaning of love A million to one That they've forgotten the dreams that we're dreaming of But we'll forgive them because we love them After all is said and done Dear one, in a million, a million to one
(But we'll forgive them because we love them) After all is said and done Dear one, in a million, a million to one

He was called so suddenly and could not say goodbye I know that he's in heaven, we'll meet him by and by The little girl trembled, her tears she could not hide She looked up toward heaven and then she replied
Abie's Irish Rose Composer(s): Mel Tormé - Robert Wells
Have you seen Abie? He's like a baby with a brand new toy I've never seen such a bundle of joy He says that Rosie Made his life cozy And I know it's true And you can make the same thing happen to you Here's what you do
Take a little time to tip your hat And don't live a life dull of may-bes A sample example is Abie's Irish Rose She doesn't mind if skies are cloudy Or if birds forget to sing What ever happens she'll find a little good in ev'rything You don't have to be a democrat To walk up and chat with your neighbor You can't say a hand-shake is labor, heaven knows If you laugh at the bad things Work at the glad things Remember to say your "Hellos" You'll be happy as Abie And Abie's Irish Rose

A Million Moons Ago Composer(s): Dick Gilbert - Paul Insetta Performer(s): Jerry Vale
A million moons ago you said I love you so Then suddenly you took your love from me A million times I've tried But a million smiles can't hide the ache that lingers way down deep inside
A million sighs have past since you said our love would last For with the dawn I found that you were gone A million stars so bright grew cold and lost their light A million moons ago last night
A million moons ago you said I love you so Then suddenly you took your love from me A million stars so bright grew cold and lost their light A million moons ago last night
