A Year Or A Day
Composer(s): Ken Hensley
Performer(s): Uriah Heep



Seen from a height of a thousand miles the earth
looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
but we can't find the things we need

Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test
Test, test, Test!

The day of creation was our finest hour it's
something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused since the first day of light
that no glory can come in the end

Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little for the world we're in
Why and what do you want to survive

Can't we try to let the past go by, with its lessons firmly
settled in our minds
To our children one by one and before the darkness comes
let us leave a world full of light of a different kind

In truth they should meet and with love their hearts should beat
And with patience solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do, it's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath a life that is a crime

Seen from a height of a thousand miles the earth
looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
but we can't find the things we need

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test whoa

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test whoa

Young man, young man
(repeat)

Way Down On Tampa Bay
Composer(s): A. Seymour Brown; Egbert Van Alstyne



Twilight is falling, I'm so lonesome and blue
Twilight is calling back sweet mem'ries of you
And as the night breeze sighs in the palm trees 
Somehow it seems to say
My heart is yearning for your returning
Way down on Tampa Bay

Moonlight is slowly stealing over the sea
Moonlight just like the night you whispered to me
Then all my gladness turned into sadness 
After I heard you say
Though we must part dear, I leave me heart here
Way down on Tampa Bay

On Tampa Bay the moon beams play
When the harbor lights are gleaming I am dreaming of the day
You won my heart, dear, then sailed away
And you left me so lonely 
Way down on Tampa Bay

A Year Ago Tonight
Composer(s): Gene Autry - Fred Rose
Performer(s): Gene Autry; Ernest Tubb; Wesley Tuttle



I received your card this morning when the mailman passed my way
I'm so glad you thought enough of me to write
I know it makes you happy to announce your wedding day
But do you recall a year ago tonoght?

When we made our vows together that our love would never die
Darling, how were we to know it wasn't right
I can't recall all the reasons why we quarreled and said goodbye
But I still recall a year ago tonight

May you always find contentment in each trial and joy you share
May the years that glide before you bring delight
But when old time memories haunt you and you have the time to spare
Will you just recall a year ago tonight?

Tho' this parting makes us strangers you will always share my heart
When the fading years have turned our hair to white
I will always feel you near me, even though we're worlds apart
'Cause I'll still recall a year ago tonight...

Way Down In Iowa (I'm Going To Hide Away)
Composer(s): Sam. M. Lewis; Joe Young; George W. Meyer



I found a horse shoe yesterday
It brought me good luck right away
Now I'm not superstitious
But my wishes all came true
I went and rubbed a rusty nail
And then I made a wish for mail
Next day a letter said "you'd better come home without fail"

My palm was itching all last night 
That means I'll get my fare all right
I found a four leaf clover
Hard luck's over, me for home! 
My ear is ringing like a bell
That means the folks all wish me well
Now I'm delighted, so excited, I could fairly yell

I'm gonna hide away, on a little farm in Iowa
I'm gonna ride away, on the road that leads to yesterday
Why, I can almost picture dear old mother
Sprinkling sugar on my bread and butter
Way down in that town in Iowa
Two heads are crowned with gray
Oh! I owe them more than I can pay
The fields of new mown hay just moan and say
"Go home and stay"
And when I get back with them both, I'll never leave
I'll take an oath, I'll hide away, way down in Iowa

A World Without Love
((French Version: Un Monde Sans Amour (by Sheila) - 1964))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
First release by: Peter & Gordon - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists



Please lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness

I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

Birds sing out of tune
And rain outside hide the moon
I'm OK, here I'll stay
With my loneliness

I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I lose
So baby until then

Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness

I don't care what they say 
I won't stay in a world without love

So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love's smile
He may come, I know not when
When he does I know
So baby until then

Lock me away
And don't allow the day
Here inside where I hide
With my loneliness

I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

I don't care what they say
I won't stay in a world without love

Way Down Deep
Composer(s): Leonard Cohen; Steve Forman;
Amy LaTelevision; Jennifer Warnes
Performer(s): Jennifer Warnes



Way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You're got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep
It came to me this morning
I was walking down the street
Was like my soul could taste you
And God, you tasted sweet
Finally I can breathe again
Finally I can speak
I've got you in the glory place
I've got you way down deep

I've got you way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You're got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You're got me way down, way way down
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep

It's a funny feeling
But I cannot say I mind
I know that I'm dealing with
A love that's far from blind
I see every single angle
I look before I leap
And how else can I put it
When you're got me way down deep

You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep

Don't matter what we gave away
Was nothing we could keep
Don't matter what we gave away
You know that talk is cheap
Forgive me if I hate you
You're a liar and a thief
But I've got you in the glory place
I got you way down deep

You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep

Don't matter if the road is long
Don't matter if it's steep
Don't matter if the moon goes out
And darkness is complete
Don't matter if we lose our way
I know we're gonna meet
I've got you in the glory place
I've got you way down deep

You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way way down
Way way down deep
You've got me way down, way down deep
I wander with you in my sleep
I'm way down, way way down
Way way down deep

Un Monde Sans Amour
((Adapted from: A World Without Love (by Peter & Gordon) - 1964))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Hubert Ithier - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sheila - 1964



Bien des gens m'ont dit
La vie n'est pas jolie
La douceur, le bonheur
N'ont plus cours ici

Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
Dans un monde sans amour

Oui, j'entends souvent
Chanter le clair printemps
Au réveil, le soleil
Les oiseaux sont là

Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
Dans un monde sans amour

A la pluie, à l'arc-en-ciel
A l'enfant qui s'émerveille
A ces roses ouvertes au ciel
Mon coeur dit "Merci!
Vous donnez la vie!"

Oui, quelqu'un, là-haut
Nous fait tous ces cadeaux
Si les fous, les jaloux
Ne voient rien du tout

Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
Dans un monde sans amour

Il est vrai que dans tes yeux
J'ai trouvé ce que je veux,
Au bonheur fait pour nous deux
Mon coeur dit "Merci
De m'avoir choisie"

Oui, j'entends souvent
Chanter le clair printemps
Avec toi, le soleil
Les oiseaux sont là

Moi, je ne peux pas vivre un seul jour
Dans un monde sans amour

A World Without Heroes
Composer(s): Bob Ezrin - Paul Stanley - Gene Simmons - Lou Reed
First release by: Kiss - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists



A world without heroes
Is like a world without Sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes 
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
It's like a time, without a place
A pointless thing, devoid of grace

Where you don't know what your after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes

In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
A world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing

Where you don't know what your after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know

Where you don't know what your after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
You don't know, you don't know
(repeat three times)

Way Down
Performer(s): John Prine



Chorus:
Way down
Way down it must be
I can't stop this misery
It must be way down

Spring is just a smile away
Laughing at a summer day
Turn around Look at fall
Winter, hear my lonely call
Way down ...

The air is thin and the sky is fat
I'm gonna buy me a brand new hat
Wear it out and go insane
Christ, I hope it never rains
Way down ...

Thought I saw a neon sign
Flash my name Wiwh the time
Probably didn't see a thing
Crazy dreams and a broken wing
Way down ...

How ya' gonna get sunshine
Peeking thru Venetian blinds
Don't you know all that fear
Begins and ends the same place
Here
Way down ...

A World Of Our Own
Composer(s): Tom Springfield
Performer(s): The Seekers



Close the door, light the light, we're stayin' home tonight
Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights
Let them all fade away, just leave us alone
And we'll live in a world of our own

We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own

Oh my love, oh my love, I've cried for you so much
Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch
Now your lips can't evade the heartache I've known
Come with me to a world of our own

We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own

We'll build a world of our own that no one else can share
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there
And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own

And I know you will find there'll be peace of mind
When we live in a world of our own

Way Down
Composer(s): Martine Layng Jr.
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Babe, you're getting closer 
The lights are goin' dim 
The sound of your breathin' 
Has made the mood I'm in 
All of my resistance 
Is lying on the floor 
Taking me to places 
I've never been before 

Ooh, and I can feel it, (feel it) 
Feel it, (feel it)
Feel it, (feel it) 
Feel it 

Way down where the music plays 
Way down like a tidal wave 
Way down where the fires blaze 
Way down, down, way, way on down 

Ooh, my head is spinnin' 
You got me in your spell, 
A hundred magic fingers 
On a whirling carousel 
The medicine within me 
No doctor could prescribe 
Your love is doing something 
That I just can't describe 

Ooh, and I can feel it, (feel it) 
Feel it, (feel it)
Feel it, (feel it)
Feel it 

Way down where the music plays 
Way down like a tidal wave 
Way down where the fires blaze 
Way down, down, way, way on down 

Hold me again, 
Tight as you can 
I need you so, 
Baby, let's go 

Way down where it feels so good 
Way down where I hoped it would 
Way down where I never could 
Way down, down, way, way on down 
(Way on downnnnnnn)

A World I Never Made
Composer(s): Doc Pomus - Mac Rebennack
Performer(s): B.B. King
and multiple other artists



The late show is over
And the city is fast asleep
And I'm lost in a world
That's just too cold and deep
I've turned so many ways
I'm spinning like a top
I wish that I could get off
Or get this world to stop

I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made

I'm always chasing dragons
With a sword that's made of tin
So I know in my soul
There's no way I can win
I tried, oh I tried
But there's no place, no place to go
There's no one here who knows me
And no one here I know

I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
I'm a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made

Way Back Home
Composer(s): Johnny Bristol; Wilton Felder; Gladys Knight
Performer(s): Junior Walker & The All-Stars



Oh, there's good 'n bad things
About the South, boy
Oh, and some leave a bitter taste
In my mouth, now

Yeah!
Like the black man livin' across the track
White man were on the other side
Holdin' him back
Way back home, now

Oh, but we won't talk about that
'Cause it's understood
Ev'rybody sees the bad
But what about the good?

Ooh, I'd give anything
Just to smell that scent
Of honeysuckle growin'
On a backyard fence
Way back home, now

'Oow!'
'Oh heaven scent, ya'all!'

(Way back home)
Yeah, way back home
(Way back home)
Thinkin' on back home

I'd love to smell the wetness
Of grass and trees
And see ground kissed
By honey bees
Like way back home, now

Oh, but childhood days
Are dead 'n gone
Well, but the memories
Still linger on

Oh, have you ever gone swimmin'
In a muddy creek
With nothin' on your body
From head to feet?
Way back home, yeah

How you play for the game
Like hide an seek
Yeah!
And snk through the weeds
Overhear the streams

Well, I know some kids
Still play those games
But when they play
It just ain't the same
Like way back home

'Sad to sing it, ya'all!'

Yeah!
Way back home, way back home

(Way back home)
Way back

Oh, I really miss those things
That have faded away
I remember them
Like it was yesterday
Now, way back home

(Way back ho-ome)
(Way back ho-ome)

Doo-doo, do-do
Doo-doo, do-ooo-do

(Way back ho-ome)
(Way back ho-ome)

A World Full Of Strangers
Composer(s): Will Jennings - Joe Sample
Performer(s): B.B. King



You and me don't see eye to eye
On every little thing
We've missed a lot of sunshine
And caught a lot of rain
If you want to leave I can't make you stay
But there is something I have to say

No matter how high you get
Or how low you go
There's one thing darling
You ought to know

There's a world full of strangers out there
A world full of strangers
Beware
There's a world full of strangers out there
And if it gets too strange
Just come on home

Restless hearts, looking for a love
Are waiting in the street
They're all prepared to give you
The bitter with the sweet
If you wake someday and you reach for me
Well you know, this is where I'll be

No matter how high you get
Or how low you go
There's one thing darling
You ought to know

There's a world full of strangers out there
A world full of strangers
Beware
There's a world full of strangers out there
And if it gets too strange
Just come on home

Waves Of The Navy
Composer(s): Elizabeth K. Ender; Betty St. Clair



Waves of the Navy
There's a ship sailing down the bay

And she won't slip into port again
Until that Victory Day

Carry on for that gallant ship
And for every hero brave
Who will find ashore, his man-sized chore
Was done by a Navy wave

A Word Or Two To Mary
Performer(s): Charley Pride



A word or two to Mary, please write a letter for me
That's what my buddy said to me today
I couldn't keep from cryin', sad eyes are looking at me
He said, I'll tell you what I wanted to say

Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there's no use denyin', I won't be comin' home
Just a word or two to you before I go

Down on my knees beside him, I begged my buddy to live
I told the Lord to please take me instead
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give
And just these words were all your husband said

Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
But there's no use denyin', I won't be coming back home
Just a word or two to you before I go

A word or two to Mary, I must add some of my own
He was the truest friend I ever had
I'll keep writing letters to her to help the children along
Tell them in a way that it's from their Dad

He didn't mind dyin', he just hated to leave you alone
And he wished that he could see his children grow
I'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me to
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow

Wave
Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim
Performer(s): Tom Jobin



Vou te contar 
Os olhos já não podem ver
Coisas que só o coração pode entender
Fundamental é mesmo o amor 
É impossivel ser feliz sozinho
O resto é mar 
É tudo que não sei contar
São coisas lindas 
Que eu tenho pra te dar
Fundamental é mesmo o amor 
É impossivel ser feliz sozinho
Da primeira vez era a cidade 
Da segunda o cais e a eternidade
Agora eu já sei 
Da onda que se ergueu no mar
E das estrelas que esquecemos de contar
O amor se deixa surpreender 
Enquanto a noite vem nos envolver

A Word In Spanish
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



I don't know why
I just know I do
I just can't explain
In this language that I use
Something leaves me speechless
Each time that you approach
Each time you glide right through me
As if I was a ghost

If I only could tell you
If you only would listen
I've got a line or two to use on you
I've got a romance we could christen

And there's a word in Spanish I don't understand
But I heard it in a film one time spoken by the leading man
He said it with devotion, he sounded so sincere
And the words he spoke in Spanish brought the female lead to tears
A word in Spanish, a word in Spanish

If you can't comprehend
Read it in my eyes
If you don't understand it's love
In a thin disguise
And what it takes to move you
Each time that you resist
Is more than just a pretty face
To prove that I exist

When manners make no difference
And my gifts all lay undone
I trade my accent in on chance
And fall back on a foreign tongue

Wave
Composer(s): Antonio Carlos Jobim
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



So close your eyes
For that's a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

You can't deny don't try to fight the rising sea
Don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

When I saw you first the time was halfpast three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity

By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch the wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

When I saw you first the time was halfpast three
When your eyes met mine it was eternity

By now we know the wave is on its way to be
Just catch that wave don't be afraid of loving me
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together

Lo sai fratello siamo nella merda
a proposito come ti va?
E quei bambini giocano allá guerra
dov’é questo wonderful world?

Non ho piú voglia di avere voglia
tutto questo é troppo anzi di piú
e tu che aspetti sempre sulla soglia
dov’é questo wonderful world?

Vado via domani
e non torno piú
prima che io salti
faccio un salto nell blu:
Sali, anima in depression
come in, come sei messo?

Ci sono giorni dove sono in vena
hey baby propio come mi vuoi
In altri striscio tiro la catena
dov’é questo wonderful world?

E mi scappa da vivere
e non ci sto piú ma prima
che io salti faccio un salto nel blu
Un grande salto nel blu!

Sali, anima in depression
come in, senti che vibration
sali, anima in depression
sulle ali sentirai che vibration
oh no no no un grande salto nel blu
oh no no no l’ultimo salto nel blu
