Ai giochi addio per sempre, sì
non sono più cose per te
ai giochi addio

Chissà perchè nemmeno tu
ancora spiergatelo non puoi

Tu attendi un ospite
favoloso e incognito
non sai che nome ha

Forse il suo nome è dolcezza
ma forse invece è amaro
Forse il suo nome è splendore
ma forse invece è oscuro

Tu vuoi scoprire i suoi misteri
e al suo confronto tutto ti annoia

I suoi regali fantastici attendi
come le notti dell'Epifania
Rimani sveglio pensando chissà
che mai ti porterà

Waltz Down The Aisle
Composer(s): Cole Porter



When those bells start to chime to commemorate the happy time
When at last, you can trust yourself to me
For a change, I suggest, that our marriage not be like the rest
But a great deal less long and less gloomy

For our bridemaids we'll choose only dancers from reviews 
And only ushers who can turn somersaults
And the old wedding march, so pretentious and so arch
Will give way to a lively waltz

When we waltz down the aisle
Won't the neighbours have the vapours
When we two start the style
Of a waltz down the aisle

What a crush, what a rush
Delegations, populations
Will be there wearing a smile
When we waltz down the aisle

Just a moment of delaying
Then the organ starts to boom 
What is that thing he's playing
Why it's "here comes the bride and the groom"

Off we go, to and fro
To the altar, and the halter
What a treat, for the rank and file
When we waltz down the aisle

Just a moment of delaying
Then the organ starts to boom 
What is that thing he's playing
Why it's "here comes the bride and the groom"

Off we go, to and fro
To the altar, and the halter
What a treat for the rank and file
When we waltz down the aisle

Un giorno sa, per noi verra
La liberta di amarci qui senza limiti
E fiorira il sogno a noi negato
Si svelera l'amor celato ormai
Un giorno sai, per vivere
La vita che ci sfugge qui

L'amore in noi superera
Gli ostacoli e le maree delle avversita (dell'ostilita)
E ci sara anche per noi nel mondo Un tempo in cui l'amore vincera 
Per te per me

L'amore in noi superera
Gli ostacoli e le maree delle avversita (dell'ostilita)
E ci sara anche per noi nel mondo Un tempo in cui l'amore vincera
Un tempo in cui l'amore vincera 

Waltz At Maxim's

and various other artists



She's so gay tonight
She's like spring tonight
She's a rollicking, frollicking thing tonight
So disarming, soft and charming
She is not thinking of me
No, she's not thinking of me

In her eyes tonight
There's a glow tonight
They're so bright they could light
Fountainbleu tonight
She's so gracious
So vivacious
She is not thinking of me

Bless her little heart
Crooked to the core
Acting out a part
What a rollicking, frollicking bore!

She's such fun tonight
She's a treat tonight
You could spread her on bread
She's so sweet tonight
So devoted, sugar-coated
That it's heart-warming to see
Oh, she's simmering with love
Oh, she's shimmering with love
Oh, she's not thinking of me!

She is not thinking of me
Someone has set her on fire
Is is Jacques?
Is it Paul or Leon?
Who's turning her furnace up higher?
Oh she's hot but it's not
For Gaston!

Oh, she's gay tonight
Oh, so gay tonight
A gigantic romantic cliche tonight
How she blushes
How she gushes
How she fills me with ennui!
She's so ooh la la la la
So untrue la la la la!
Oh, she's not thinking of me!

A Time For Love
Composer(s): Johnny Mandel - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Tony Bennett - 1966
and multiple other artists



A time for summer skies
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love

A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring daffodils above

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of

As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

Waltz Across Texas Tonight
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Emmylou Harris
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris



The wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries
When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
But if you listen tonight on that high, lonely plain
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name

You've been on a road that just don't seem to end
Where that broken old heart of yours won't ever mend
You've crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
So many rivers and so much to learn
So many bridges and so much to learn

But the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight

We both have known hard luck
And love that's gone wrong
When the ghosts take the shadows and
The night takes too long
We folded our cards when the hand wasn't strong
But that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone

And the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight and I'll
Waltz you my darling across Texas tonight

I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight

Time For Love
Composer(s): Ritchie Adams - Mark Barkan
Performer(s): The Archies



Sunshine, shining brightly
Clouds are smilin' up above
My heart is singing lightly
Time, time, time for love

My mind is berry pickin'
All the things I'm dreamin' of
My heart's a clock tock-tickin'
Time, time, time for love

Whoa-oa
Yesterday I was sad (so sad)
Everything looked so bad
Every hour was painted blue
Till the minute I met you

Now each day we're spendin'
We're together hand in glove
We've got never-endin'
Time, time, time, time, time for love

Whoa-oa
Yesterday I was sad (so sad)
Everything looked so bad
Every hour was painted blue
Till the minute I met you

Now each day we're spendin'
We're together hand in glove
We've got never-endin'
Time, time, time, time, time for love

Waltz Across Texas 
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Talmadge Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



When we dance together, my world's in disguise 
It's a fairy land tale that's come true 
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes 
I could waltz across Texas with you 

Chorus: 
Waltz across Texas with you in my arms 
Waltz across Texas with you 
Like a storybook ending, I'm lost in your charms 
And I could waltz across Texas with you 

My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone 
The moment that you come in view 
And with your hand in mine, dear, I could dance all night long 
I could waltz across Texas with you 

Repeat Chorus

A Thousand Years
Composer(s): David Paich - Joseph Williams - Mark T. Williams
Performer(s): Toto



Day after day, I feel myself slowing down, what does it mean?
The air has changed, it's getting harder to breathe, or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine

A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

Tell me my friend, can you imagine a place free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind and it's come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world where everything's fine

A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years

Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine

A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years

A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years

Walter, Walter (Lead Me To The Altar)
Composer(s): Haines; Harper; Forrester
Performer(s): Gracie Fields



Walter and me 'ave been courtin' for years
But he's never asked me to wed
When Leap Year comes round
I give three hearty cheers
Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray
Because I do the asking instead
I don't want to die an old maid
So I sing him this serenade

Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
I'll make a better man of you
Walter! Walter! Buy the bricks and mortar
And we'll build a love nest for two
My bottom drawer's all packed and ready
My bridal gown's as good as new
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
And make all my nightmares come true

I took him round to the furniture shop
And I showed him a nice double bed
But when I felt sure
That the question he'd pop
He popped to the pictures instead
I still have to play the same part
He must know this chorus by heart

Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
I don't cost much to keep in food
Walter! Walter! Mother says you oughter
So get me while she's in the mood
You know I'm very fond of chickens
We'll raise a lovely little brood
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
And I'll show you where I'm tattooed

Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
Don't say I've met my Waterloo
Walter! Walter! Tears are tasting salter
And I've lost my handkerchief too
Don't muck the goods about no longer
My old age pension's nearly due
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
It's either the Workhouse or you

A Thousand Years
Composer(s): Red West
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Although my heart is heavily burdened
And my eyes can’t hold back the tears
Well I know that in time
I will have peace of mind
But it may take a thousand years, oh - oh
But it may take a thousand years

Well you walked out and left me this morning
And you didn’t even say goodbye
Well no matter how hard I tried
I couldn’t keep my pride
And I broke right down and I cried, cry, cry
Yes I broke right down and I cried

Well you didn’t even give me a reason, oh no
Well you didn’t say what I done wrong
All I know is you’re gone
And now I’m alone
Yes, you’re gone and now I’m alone

Well they say that time heals all heartaches
So I guess I have nothing to fear
‘Cos I know that in time
I will find peace of mind
But it may take a thousand years, oh – oh
But it may take a thousand yearsThey say, and gypsies know
One day many moons ago
Two lovers knew such bliss
A thousand violins played when they would kiss

And now, like days gone by
When two gypsy lovers sigh
A thousand violins, sighing violins
Come from the sky

Oh sweet serenade please come to me
I need your aid to make her see
To make those lips that haunt me so
And taunt me so, want me so

My darling take my heart
And make magic music start
Be still and we may hear
Those thousand violins so near

To make those lips that haunt me so
And taunt me so, want me so

My darling take my heart
And make magic music start
Be still and we may hear
Those thousand violins so near

Walls Of Time
Composer(s): Bill Monroe; Peter Rowan
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; 
and various other artists



The wind is blowing across the mountain
Down on the valley way below
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I want to go

Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die

I hear a voice out in the darkness
It calls and whispers through the pines
I know it's my sweetheart a-calling
I hear him through the walls of time

Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die

Our names are carved upon a tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love would bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side

Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die

A Thousand Violins
Composer(s): Ray Evans - Jay Livingstone
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Tony Martin



They say, and gypsies know
One day many moons ago
Two lovers knew such bliss
A thousand violins played when they would kiss

And now, like days gone by
When two gypsy lovers sigh
A thousand violins, sighing violins
Come from the sky

Oh sweet serenade please come to me
I need your aid to make her see
To make those lips that haunt me so
And taunt me so, want me so

My darling take my heart
And make magic music start
Be still and we may hear
Those thousand violins so near

To make those lips that haunt me so
And taunt me so, want me so

My darling take my heart
And make magic music start
Be still and we may hear
Those thousand violins so near

Wallflower
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel



6x6 - from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor you got damp on the bed
They're trying to get you crazy - get you out of your head
They feed you scraps and they feed you lies
To lower your defences, no compromise
Nothing you can do, they day can be long
You mind is working overtime, you body's not too strong

Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred

Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone

They take you out - the light burns your eyes
To the talking room - it's not surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hipppcratic Oath
They tell you - how to behave, hehave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond
For all that they are doing there's no way to respond

Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred

Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone

Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say to you, I will do what I can do

You may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say you you, I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do

A Thousand Thoughts Of You
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop - Ulpio Minucci
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Lou Lanza



A thousand thoughts of you
Will haunt me ever after
The music of your laughter
Will serenade my heart

A thousand thoughts of you
Will roam the night and find me
With chains of love they'll bind me
To dreams that won't depart

Your face, your smile
The moonlight in your hair
Your lips, your eyes
I'll see them everywhere

A thousand kisses too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you

A thousand kisses too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you

Ain't no guy in town
Who would ever try to put me down
When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel, whoa-uh-oh

'cause every guy I see

When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel (angel)

a-when we're strollin' hand in hand
I'm as happy as can be
Aww, she's the prettiest girl in town
And everyone can see she belongs to me

Well I feel so proud
It's as good as walkin' on a cloud
When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel

Aww, when we're strollin' hand in hand
I'm as happy as can be
'cause she's the prettiest girl in town
And everyone can see she belongs to me

Well I feel so proud

When I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel

Aww, when I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel

Yeah, when I'm walkin' walkin' with my angel

A thousand stars in the sky like the stars in your eyes
They say to me that therell never be
No other love like you-oo for me-e-e

You are the one love that Ill adore

Walking The Floor Over You
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
and various other artists



You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
You've broken your promise and you left me all alone
I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone

Chorus:
I'm walking the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you

Now darling you know I love you well
I love you more than I can ever tell
I thought that you wanted me and always would be mine
But you went and left me here with troubled mind

Chorus

Now someday you may be lonesome too
Walking the floor is good for you
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry
Remember that I love you and I will until I die

Chorus

Thousand Miles From Nowhere
Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Tim O'Brien; Richard D. Shank



I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be

I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be

Oh I, oh I, oh I------I, I---I...

I've got bruises on my memories
I've got tearstains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be

I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be 

Walking On Velvet Green
Performer(s): Jethro Tull



Walking on Velvet Green
Scotch pine growing
Isn't it rare to be taking the air?
Sitting
Walking on Velvet Green

Walking on Velvet Green
Distant cows lowing
Never a care
With your legs in the air
Loving
Walking on Velvet Green

Won't you have my company
Yes, take it in your hands
Go down on Velvet Green with a country man
Who's a young girl's fancy and an old maid's dream
Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green

One dusky half-hour's ride up to the north
There lies your reputation and all that you're worth
Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream
Tell your mother that you walked all night on Velvet Green

And the long grass blows in the evening cool
And August's rare delights may be April's fool
But think not of that my love
I'm tight against the seam
And I'm growing up to meet you down on Velvet Green

Now let me tell you that it's love and not just lust
And if we live the lie let's lie in trust
On golden daffodils to catch the silver stream
That washes out the wild oat seed on Velvet Green

We'll dream as lovers under the stars
But civilization's raging afar
And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars
As you walk home cold and alone upon Velvet Green

Walking on Velvet Green
Scotch pine growing
Isn't it rare to be taking the air?
Sitting
Walking on Velvet Green

Walking on Velvet Green
Distant cows lowing
Never a care
With your legs in the air
Loving
Walking on Velvet Green
