When I Need You Composer(s): Albert Hammond; Carole Bayer Sager Performer(s): Leo Sayer; and various other artists
When I need you Just close my eyes and I'm with you And all that I so want to give you It's only a heart beat away
When I need love I hold out my hands and I touch love I never knew there was so much love Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us A telephone can't take the place of your smile But you know I wont be traveling for ever It's cold out, but hold out and do like I do
When I need you Just close my eyes and I'm with you And all that I so want to give you babe It's only a heart beat away
It's not easy when the road is your driver Honey, that's a heavy load that we bear But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime It's cold out but hold out and do like I do Oh I need you
When I need you I hold out my hands and I touch love I never knew there was so much love Keeping me warm night and day
When I need you Just close my eyes and I'm with you And all that I so want to give you It's only a heart beat away

When I Met You Composer(s): Jim Paredes Performer(s): Martin Nievera; and various other artists
There I was An empty piece of a shell Just minding my own world Without even knowing What love and life is all about
Then you came You brought me out of a shell You gave the world to me And before I knew it There I was in love with you
Refrain You gave me the reason for my being And I love what I'm feeling You gave me a meaning to my life Yes, I'm gone beyond existing And it all began, when I met you...
I love the touch of your hair And when I look in your eyes I just know I know I'm on to something good
And I'm sure My love for you will endure Your love will light up my world And take care all my cares Away where they can't bother me
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus You taught me how to love You showed me a tomorrow and today my love That's diferrent from the yesterday I knew You taught me to love and darling I will always Cherish you today, tomorrow and forever
And I'm sure when the evening comes around I know we'll be making love like never before My love who could ask for more
When I Marry You Composer(s): Albert Gumble; Alfred Bryan
Two sweet-hearts strolling 'mid roses in June Two little sweet hearts just learning to spoon She rolls her eyes, he softly sighs "I will marry you, only you When we are married we'll live love and dream Life wi'l be sunshine and peaches and cream" But she murmurs: "Joe dear, I first want to know, dear So tell me true"
Man in the moon seemed to look down and smile Boy drooped his head and was silent a while He stole a kiss, then whispered this I'll be always near, never fear It is so easy to be true to you Maidens like you in this world are so few But what worries you, dear, will worry me too, dear So tell me true"
"Will you love me all the time Summer time, winter time Will you love me rain or shine, as I love you Will you kiss me every day Will you miss me when away Will you stay at home and play, when I marry you"
Aimer Vivre Composer(s): Michel Berger Johnny Hallyday
Aimer vivre C'est écrit dans tes yeux Quand tu parles de ta vie C'est écrit dans tes rêves Dans tes moindres envie Cette force qui te porte J'en ai besoin aussi C'est écrit quand tu danses Quand tu fermes les yeux Rien n'a plus d'importance Rien de ce qu'on avoue Si c'est ton corps qui bouge C'est ton cur qui fait tout
Je veux te voir changer Je veux te voir bouger Je veux te voir crier ton plaisir Je veux te voir vibrer Et te voir te lever je veux te voir crier tes désirs Aimer vivre
Aimer vivre C'est écrit dans tes mains Quand elles suivent ma voix C'est écrit sur ta bouche Quand je vois ton sourire Comme tu peux partir loin Quand la musique est là Tu peux mourir demain Quand la musique est là
Je veux te voir changer Je veux te voir bouger Je veux te voir crier ton plaisir Je veux te voir vibrer Et te voir te lever Je veux te voir crier tes désirs Aimer vivre
When I Marry Mr. Snow (aka Mr. Snow) Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Oscar Hammerstein II Performer(s): Barbara Ruick; and various other artists
Carrie: Julie, I've been bustin' to tell you somethin' lately
Julie: You have?
Carrie: The reason I didn't care to tell you before is 'cause you didn't have a fella of your own Hmm hmm... But now that you got one, I can tell you about mine!
Julie: I'm glad you gotta fella, Carrie!
Carrie: His name is Mister Snow And an upstandin' man is he He comes home ev'ry night in his round-bottomed boat With a net full of herring from the sea
An almost perfect beau As refined as a girl could wish But he spends so much time in his round-bottomed boat That he can't seem to lose the smell of fish
The fust time he kissed me, the whiff from his clo'es Knocked me flat on the floor of the room But now that I love him, my heart's in my nose And fish is my fav'rite perfume
Last night he spoke quite low And a fair-spoken man is he And he said, "Miss Pipperidge, I'd like it fine If I could be wed with a wife And, indeed, Miss Pipperidge, if you'll be mine I'll be yours fer the rest of my life"
Next moment we were promised And now my mind's in a maze Fer all I ken do is look forward to That wonderful day of days...
When I marry Mister Snow The flowers'll be buzzin' with the hum of bees The birds'll make racket in the churchyard trees When I marry Mister Snow
Then it's off to home we'll go And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside Where the salty breezes blow
He'll carry me 'cross the threshold And I'll be as meek as a lamb Then he'll set me on my feet And I'll say kinda sweet, "Well, Mister Snow, here I am!"
Then I'll kiss him so he'll know That evry'thin'll be as right as right ken be A-livin' in a cottage by the sea with me For I love that Mister Snow
That young seafarin', Bold and darin', Big bewhiskered, overbearin' Darling, Mister Snow!
Reprise:
Girls: When you walk down the isle all the heads will turn What a rustlin' of bonnets there'll be And you'll try to smile, but your cheeks will burn And your eyes'll get so dim you can hardly see
With your orange blossoms quiverin' in your hand And you'll stumble to the spot where the parson is Then your finger will be ringed with a golden band And you'll know the feller's yours, and you are his
Carrie: When I marry Mister Snow The flowers'll be humming with the hum of bees The birds'll make a racket in the churchyard trees When I marry Mister Snow
Then it's off to home we'll go And both of us'll look a little dreamy-eyed A drivin' to a cottage by the oceanside Where the salty breezes blow
He'll carry me across the threshold And I'll be as meek as a lamb Then he'll set me on my feet And I'll say kind of sweet, "Well Mister Snow, here I am!"
Enoch Snow: Then I'll kiss her so she'll know That ev'rything'll be as right as right can be A livin' in a cottage by the sea with me Where the salty breezes blow
I love Miss Pipperidge And I aim to Make Miss Pipperidge Change her name to Missus Enoch Snow
Neapolitan Nights Composer(s): John Stepan Zamecnik - Harry D. Kerr Performer(s): Harry Reser and multiple other artists
Twilight is falling in fair Italy stars kiss the sky Night stealing near like a soft melody bids day good bye There as I lingered long, entered my heart this song
Nights of romance in a world made of dreams Always 'tis June, nights that entrance And for ever it seems, hearts are in tune Softly my reverie whispers this melody
Oh, nights of splendor, your charms so tender Make love surrender till stars are gone Oh, nights of laughter, tho' tears come after Love's regrets, love forgets when comes the dawn Fair Naples sleeping, a vigil keeping While stars are weeping as they depart Dawn bells are pealing, while night is stealing To its nest, lulled to rest within my heart
When I Loved Her
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Roy Drusky
and multiple other artists
Well, she didn't look as pretty as some others I have known
And she wasn't good at conversation when we were alone
But she had a way of making me believe that I belonged
And it felt like coming home, when I found her
She seemed to be so proud of me just walking holding hands
And she didn't think that money was the measure of a man
And we seemed to fit together when I held her in my arms
And it left me feelin' warm, when I loved her
'Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doin' seem worth while
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known
And it made me wanna smile, when I loved her
I know some of us were born to cast our fortunes to the winds
And I guess I'm bound to travel down a road that never ends
But I know I'll never look upon the likes of her again
And I'll never understand why I lost her
'Cause she brightened up the day like the early morning sun
And she made what I was doin' seem worth while
It's the closest thing to living that I guess I've ever known
And it made me wanna smile, when I loved her
The Secret Composer(s): Joe Lubin - I.J. Roth Performer(s): Gordon MacRae and multiple other artists
A secret, I know a secret A story I'll never tell About two sweethearts Who love each other He is my best friend She is his girl
The first time I saw her I couldn't resist her Her beauty gave me a thrill She was so lovely And I adored her I fell in love with My best friend's girl
The first time I saw her I couldn't resist her Her beauty gave me a thrill She was so lovely And I adored her I fell in love with My best friend's girl
And that's my secret Yes, it's my secret Nobody knows it No one but I And I will love her Yes, I will love her And it's my secret Until I die
Face To Face Composer(s): Sammy Fain Performer(s): Gordon MacRae
The lightning seems to fly, across the summer sky And shooting stars begin to fall around you The most amazing things take place Each time that we come face to face And simply cause you're there There's music everywhere The melodies I hear would just astound you And they invite us to embrace Each time that we come face to face
And when you aren't near The world's a wintry thing But then when you appear It's spring again, it's spring
The first time that we kissed I heard my heart insist Don't ever let him go now that he's found you And if the skies be gray or blue He'll face it face to face with you
When I Leave The World Behind Composer(s): Irving Berlin Performer(s): Al Jolson;
and various other artists
I know a millionaire Whos burdened down with care A load is on his mind Hes thinking of the day When he must pass away And leave his wealth behind I havent any gold To leave when I grow old Somehow it passed me by Im very poor, but still Ill leave a precious will When I must say goodbye
Ill leave the sunshine to the flowers Ill leave the springtime to the trees And to the old folks Ill leave the memries Of a baby upon their knees Ill leave the nighttime to the dreamers Ill leave the songbirds to the blind Ill leave the moon above To those in love When I leave the world behind When I leave the world behind
To evry wrinkled face Ill leave a fireplace To paint their favrite scene Within the golden rays Scenes of their childhood days When they were sweet sixteen Ill leave them each a song To sing the whole day long As toward the end they plod To evry broken heart With sorrow torn apart Ill leave the love of God
Ill leave the sunshine to the flowers Ill leave the springtime to the trees And to the old folks Ill leave the memries Of a baby upon their knees Ill leave the nighttime to the dreamers Ill leave the songbirds to the blind Ill leave the moon above To those in love When I leave the world behind When I leave the world behind

Ik hou van jou, vier woorden maar Soms licht maar soms ook zwaar Want geluk en verdriet en houden van Liggen vaak dicht bij elkaar
Een hart weet nooit wat wijsheid is Want een hart ziet maar één doel Soms goed, soms fout omdat een hart Niet denken kan, maar voelt
O zo lang kan de weg naar geluk soms zijn Vaak ben je de richting kwijt Maar hoe groot is de vreugde aan het eind Waar de liefde naar je reikt
Ik hou van jou, vier woorden maar Soms licht maar soms ook zwaar Want geluk en verdriet en houden van Liggen vaak dicht bij elkaar
Ik ben die lange weg gegaan Tot de grens van verdriet voorbij Als ik viel ben ik altijd opgestaan Want aan het eind wachtte jij op mij
Ik hou van jou, vier woorden maar Soms licht maar soms ook zwaar Want geluk en verdriet en houden van Liggen vaak dicht bij elkaar
Maar jij en ik en houden van Horen voor altijd bij elkaar

Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher And they must have thought they dreamed when I kissed the teacher All my friends at school They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool Nearly petrified 'cos he was taken by surprise When I kissed the teacher Couldn't quite believe his eyes, when I kissed the teacher My whole class went wild As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
One of these days Gonna tell him I dream of him every night One of these days Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
I was in a trance when I kissed the teacher Suddenly I took the chance when I kissed the teacher Leaning over me, he was trying to explain the laws of geometry And I couldn't help it, I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days Gonna tell him I dream of him every night One of these days Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
What a crazy day, when I kissed the teacher All my sense had flown away when I kissed the teacher My whole class went wild As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I wanna hug, hug, hug him)

J'ai si peu de temps Pour tout donner Tant de gens Que je veux bercer Tant de gens Que je veux bercer
I once was lost But now am found Was blind but now I see Was blind but now I see
When I Kissed That Girl Good-Bye Composer(s): Little Jack Little Performer(s): Leon Redbone
Now Little Willie Hubble, well he had a lot of trouble In breaking off a certain love affair Well he fin'ly did it, and I must admit it Was a laugh when I heard him declare
I kissed her in the merry month of May And I kissed her in the middle of July Well I kissed her in the Fall but the best kiss of them all Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
I kissed her on the road to Mandalay And I kissed her in the streets of old Shanghai But I got the biggest thrill in the town of old Seville On the day when I kissed that gal good-bye
I kissed her in a rented Chevrolet And I kissed her in a car she made me buy Well I kissed her in a Ford but the day I thanked the lord Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
Well I kissed her where they sing old fashioned songs And I kissed her where they hi dee hi dee hi! I could never sing a tune but the day I learned to croon Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
I kissed her where the sea is deep and blue And I kissed her where the rivers all run dry I kissed her on the lake but the day I got my break Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
I kissed her where the roses kiss the ground And I kissed her where the mountains kiss the sky Well I kissed her in the west but the kiss that I like best Was the day when I kissed that girl good-bye
