A Tear From A Woman's Eyes Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland Performer(s): The Temptations
I saw the saddest thing, the other day When an old man passed my way Walking the streets so all alone All because he had no home
But the saddest thing I've ever seen Is a tear from a woman's eye A tear from a woman's eye Hmmm
I saw a man, no shoes on his feet But the saddest thing is to see a woman weep A woman is a tender thing To see her cry, a sad, sad thing
Nothing touches me deeper inside Than a tear from a woman's eye A tear from a woman's eye Hmmm
A woman's tears dropping on her cheek Is like a sound of thunder, that loudly rings 'Cause when I see her cry, I know she hurts inside
Yes, the saddest thing I've ever seen Is a tear from a woman's eye A tear from a woman's eye Hmmm
Sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye A sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry Sad, sad, sad thing is a tear from a woman's eye Sad, sad, sad thing is to see a woman cry
Walkin' With A Mountain Composer(s): Ian Hunter Performer(s): Mott The Hoople
A mountain train's coming down the tracks She ain't wasting time She's following me, 'cos I'm going back, right to the end of the line She know's I ain't been anywhere Because I'll come back everytime to her
Walking with a mountain Walking with a mountain
The troubles and tears, I take 'em in years - I left so many behind Maybe it's strange to rearrange - who know's what I'll find But anything's better than the life I've known I can't face anything that low
Walking with a mountain Walking with a mountain
Walking with a mountain Walking with a mountain
Now when she talks to me, I can see just where I'm headed to She sits, drinks, takes it all in, just to admire the view But if I had my choice in life I'd take that woman for my wife
Walking with a mountain Walking with a mountain
(Repeat Chorus several times)
Jumping jack flash, it's a gas Jumping jack flash, it's a gas
A Tear Fell Composer(s): Dorian Burton - Eugene Randolph Performer(s): Teresa Brewer and multiple other artists
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
A tear fell when I saw you in the arms of someone new A tear fell when you left me all alone and feeling blue A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
The teardrops that you stepped on as you danced across the floor Were crushed like my poor heart was when you walked out of the door A tear fell when you told me that the flame in your heart died Darlin', have I lost you like these teardrops from my eyes? A fool am I, a fool am I in love
A tear fell when you told me that your love was not for me Oh, I didn't miss the teardrops but I missed you constantly A fool am I, a fool am I, in love

À Te Regarder Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - J. Constantin Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tout le jour tu es loin de moi Mais lorsque tombe la nuit Que tu viens dormir prés de moi J'oublie toute ma vie Quand se ferment sur notre amour Les portes de ton sommeil En moi que de tourments s'éveillent
À te regarder J'ai le coeur qui soupire Je voudrais crier, sangloter ou bien rire À te regarder Je sens comme une angoisse Si tu savais ce que tu tiens de place
À te regarder J'ai le coeur qui chavire Et mes pensées Me font mal, me déchirent Si tu devais rêver à quelqu'un d'autre Et partager ces joies qui sont les nôtres
À te regarder Quand la peur me domine Pour arracher ce cri de ma poitrine Je veux t'éveiller, te voir devenir blême Et m'effondrer en te criant: "Je t'aime"
Walkin' To Missouri Composer(s): Bob Merrill Performer(s): Sammy Kaye; and various other artists
Poor little robin Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri He can't afford to fly Got a penny for a poor little robin Walkin' walkin' walkin' to Missouri Got a teardrop in his eye
I hope my story don't make you cry But this birdie flew too high He flew from his old Missouri home He fell right into the city ways, like dancin' in cabarets From party to party he would roam
Poor little robin Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri He can't afford to fly. Got a penny for a poor little robin Walkin' walkin' walkin' to Missouri Got a teardrop in his eye
He met a birdie who looked so nice A real bird of paradise Good lookin' but fickle in the heart She gave him kisses and gave him sighs But oh, how she told him lies 'Cause she loved another from the start
Poor little robin Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri He can't afford to fly. Got a penny for a poor little robin Walkin' walkin' walkin' to Missouri Got a teardrop in his eye
His dreams are battered, his feathers bent Now he hasn't got a cent He feels like his heart is gonna break So if he ever walks up to you Please throw him a crumb or two 'Cause you could have made the same mistake
Poor little robin Walkin', walkin', walkin' to Missouri He can't afford to fly Got a penny for a poor little robin Walkin' walkin' walkin' to Missouri Got a teardrop in his eye Got a teardrop in his eye

A tapar la calle A tapar la calle que no pase nadie que pase mi abuela comiendo cachuelas
A tapar la calle que no pase nadie que vista de negro que lleve pistola que hable de la guerra y beba Coca-Cola a tapar la calle A abrir la calle que pase la gente que vista de flores que beba aguardiente que va hablando sola y pinta en las paredes a abrir la calle A tapar la calle que no pase nadie que no tenga dudas que vaya con prisas y tenga señora que le lava y le guisa a tapar la calle A abrir la calle a las abuelitas jugando a canicas y a los niños malos que cambian un duro por dos perras chicas a abrir la calle
A tapar la calle que no pase nadie de los que han ganado y nos han legislado y nos han controlado y nos han sermoneado a tapar la calle A abrir la calle que pase la gente que nunca ha pasado y los mal peinados y el Señor Obispo con su novia de triciclo a abrir la calle A tapar la calle que no pase nadie que viva de alguien con casa de loro que vaya montado sobre el as de oros a tapar la calle A abrir la calle a tapar la calle a vivir la calle a soñar la calle a tomar la calle

I'm walkin' all around the town Singin' all the people down Talkin' around, talkin' around Me and my cat named Dog Are walkin' high against the fog Singin' the sun Singin' the sun
Happy, sad and crazy wonder Chokin' up my mind with perpetual dreamin'.......

Happy, sad and crazy wonder Chokin' up my mind with perpetual dreamin'......
Dog is a good old cat People what you think of that? That's where I'm at, that's where I'm at, that's where I'm at
Theme From "A Summer Place" Composer(s): Max Steiner First release by: Max Steiner - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
There's a summer place Where it may rain or storm Yet I'm safe and warm For within that summer place Your arms reach out to me And my heart is free from all care For it knows
There are no gloomy skies When seen through the eyes Of those who are blessed with love
And the sweet secret of A summer place Is that it's anywhere When two people share All their hopes All their dreams All their love
There's a summer place Where it may rain or storm Yet I'm safe and warm In your arms, in your arms In your arms, in your arms In your arms, in your arms
Walkin' In The Sun Composer(s): Jeff Barry Performer(s): Percy Sledge; and various other artists
Well, things have been goin' wrong long enough to know when everything's just right I've been walking in the dark long enough to know when I've finally seen the light I've been losing long enough to know when I finally have won And even the blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun
Well, I've cried enough tears to recognize this feeling of a smile I've been bottom rung long enough to know when I'm doing it in style I've been running long enough to know when there's no more need to run (O Lord) Even the blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun
The wind is at my back and I'm sailing on a ship long overdue I've blown so many chances, I ain't gonna blow this one with you And I've seen enough bad times to know when the good times have begun O Lord - Even the blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun
(Oh yeah) Even the blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun
Walkin' In The Rain Composer(s): Barry Mann; Phil Spector; Cynthia Weil Performer(s): Jay & The Americans
I want her, I need her And someday, some way, whoa-oh-oh-oh, I'll meet her She'll be kinda shy And real good lookin' too And I'll be certain she's my girl By the things she'll like to do
Like walkin' in the rain And wishin' on the stars up above And bein' so in love
When she's near me, I'll kiss her And when she leaves me, whoa-oh-oh-oh, I'll miss her Though sometimes we'll fight I won't really care I know she's gonna be all right Cause we got so much to share
Like walkin' in the rain And wishin' on the stars up above And bein' so in love
(Joannie) No, no she'll never do (Peggy) No it isn't her too They would never, no they'd never Never, ever love
Walkin' in the rain And wishin' on the stars Or bein' so in love Walkin' in the rain
A Stranger In Town Composer(s): Mel Tormé Performer(s): Mel Tormé and multiple other artists
Just arrived on the seventen Thought I'd see the old gang again But you know how they come and go I'm just a stranger in town
Ev'rywhere, ev'ryone I see Seems to wonder who I can be And I swear, no one seems to care About a stranger in town
I saw a cottage on a lonely old street The weeds have grown 'round the gate Somehow I felt that you would wait here, my sweet But it looks like I'm too late
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two Can't believe that there's no more you Is there nothing for me? Will I always be A stranger in my own home town
I asked around but no one knew you by name I wonder where you are now? I always hoped that things would be just the same And that you'd wait for me somehow
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two Now that you have found someone new Is there nothing for me? Will I always be A stranger in my own home town?
It hurts to be alone with no one of your own When you're a stranger in your own home town

A Swingin' Affair Composer(s): Cass - Myers Performer(s): Cliff Richard
Ours will be, a swingin' affair We won't be tied, we'll be as free as air For we won't care what tomorrow brings it'll be just one of those swingin' things
Ours will be, a swingin' affair We will just be, a very casual pair for love won't make us an April fool no, we both decided we'll play it cool
We'll share a few laughs, we'll share an odd date We'll share a few kisses, when it's growing late and though the stars and moon may shine up above we'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding Just for kicks, we two will have our fling and we'll have fun while there's time to spare for we'll both enjoy our swingin' affair
Hey let's have a swingin' affair We won't be tied, we'll be as free as air For we won't care what tomorrow brings it'll be just one of those swingin' things
Ours will be, a swingin' affair We will just be, a very casual pair for love won't make us an April fool no, we both decided we'll play it cool
We'll share a few laughs, we'll share an odd date We'll share a few kisses, when it's growing late and though the stars and moon may shine up above we'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding Just for kicks, we two will have our fling and we'll have fun while there's time to spare for we'll all enjoy our swingin' affair
We'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding Just for kicks, we'll two will have our fling and we'll pretend we are not aware this is more, so much more than a swingin' affair
Walkin' Back To Georgia Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
I'm walkin' back to Georgia And I hope she will take me back Nothin' in my pockets And all I own is upon my back
Chorus:
But she's the girl who said she loved me On that hot dusty Macon road And if she's still around I'm gonna settle down With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
I'm walkin' back to Georgia She's the only one who knows How it feels when you lose a dream And how it feels when you dream alone
(Repeat Chorus)
Georgia can you hear me callin' Oh I'll be home in just a while And if I had to I'd be crawlin' Just to share another mornin' smile
But you're the girl who said you loved me On that hot dusty long ago And if you're still around I'm gonna settle down With you my hard lovin' Georgia girl ... because
I'm walkin' back to Georgia And I hope she will take me back Nothin' in my pockets And all I own is upon my back
