Ooooo-oo, Aaaa-ah
When will I see you again When will we share precious moments Will I have to wait forever Or will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through

Are we in love or just friends Is this my beginning or is this the end When will I see you again...
Aja Composer(s): Walter Carl Becker - Donald Jay Fagen First release by: Steely Dan - 1977 Covered by multiple other artists
Up on the hill People never stare They just don't care Chinese music under banyan trees Here at the dude ranch above the sea Aja When all my dime dancin' is through I run to you
Up on the hill They've got time to burn There's no return Double helix in the sky tonight Throw out the hardware Let's do it right Aja When all my dime dancin' is through I run to you
Up on the hill They think I'm okay Or so they say Chinese music always sets me free Angular banjoes Sound good to me Aja When all my dime dancin' is through I run to you

When We Was Fab Composer(s): George Harrison; Jeff Lynne Performer(s): George Harrison; Wendy Ip
Back then long time ago when grass was green Woke up in a daze Arrived like stangers in the night Fab - long time ago when we was fab Fab - back when income tax was all we had
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light Casualties at dawn And we did it all Fab - long time ago when we was fab Fab - you are my world you are my only love
And while you're in this world The fuzz gonna come and claim you But you mo better wise When the buzz gonna come and take you away Take you away Take you away
The microscopes that magnified the tears Studied warts and all Still the life flows on and on Fab - long time ago when we was fab Fab - but It's All Over Now Baby Blue Fab - long time ago when we was fab Fab - like this pullover you sent to me
Fab And You've Really Got A Hold Me fab - long time ago when we was fab
Airwaves Composer(s): Thomas Dolby Performer(s): Thomas Dolby
Strange how the scale forms in tiny patterns on my antenna and the Five O'clock Show, hello hello... Brooklyn is crawling with famous people I turn my vehicle beneath the river, West from South
Through the airwaves people never read the airwaves do we only feed the airwaves or stamp them out of street level? Airwaves - the dampness of the wind the airwaves - the tension of the skin the airwaves I really should have seen through the airwaves
Electric fences line our new freeway here in the half-light, the motorhomes leave knee-deep in water under a pylon how slow my heartbeat, how thin the air I'm breathing in
Control has enabled the abandoned wires again but the copper cables all rust in the acid rain that flood the subway with elements of our corrosion cabled in to me... Be in my broadcast when this is over give me your shoulder, I need a place to wait for morning. No it was nothing - some car backfiring pleased don't ask questions
When Veronica Plays The Harmonica Composer(s): Tommy Mack; Jimmy Mulcay; Mildred Mulcay Performer(s): The Mulcays; Kay Kyser
You can sail around the world to see the sights And even see the famous northern lights But strange as it may be I'm sure you will agree The greatest sight of all is by the sea
When Veronica plays the harmonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica When she gives out with Gershwin and Bach The perch and barracuda come wigglin' up to the dock The seals and haddock get aquabatic When she plays on her chromatic When she plays boogie woogie, lobsters flippity flop She even made a submarine blow it's top When Veronica plays her harmonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica
When Veronica plays the harmonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica She plays mad jive for hepcat fish She even plays a tune for a tuna that swims with a swish A big fat turtle whose name was Myrtle Shook and shivered till she broke her girlde The whale that swallowed Jonah yelled across the bay "I'll open up my mouth and let you go today To hear Veronica play her hamonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica"
A flying fish from Avalon flew out of sight For he was smoking seaweed and was high as a kite When Veronica raised the thermometer Down on the pier at Santa Monica
An oyster got so stewed at an oyster spa He stood right up and holler'd "Eat Me Eight To The Bar" When Veronica played her harmonica Down on the pier at Santa Monica
A fish was using Lifebuoy soap, she knew how he felt She never smelled a smelt that smelt like that smelt smelt So Veronica took her harmonica And left the pier at Santa Monica
Air Talk Composer(s): Yoko Ono Performer(s): Plastic Ono Band
One, two, three, four, five, six
Its sad that air is the only thing we share No matter how close we are theres always air between us Its also nice that airs something we all share No matter how far apart we are an air links us
Its sad that past is something we can never share No matter how close we are the past is between us But its also nice that without the past Wed have never known each other No matter how far apart we are it brought us together
Yes, its very nice to have someone to share Theres something very nice to have someone to care We may not share our past but we have our future to share
Its sad that life is such a heavy thing to bear No matter how close we are its easy to despair Its also nice that you and I know its what we all share No matter how far apart we are we can learn to care
Theres something very nice to have something to share Theres something very nice to have someone to care We may not share our bodies but we have our minds to share
Yes, theres something very nice to have something to care Theres something very nice to have someone to share We may not share our language but we have the world to share
When Two Worlds Collide Composer(s): Bill Anderson; Roger Miller Performer(s): Jim Reeves
Your world was so different from mine don't you see We just couldn't be close though we tried We both reached for heavens but ours weren't the same That's what happens when two worlds collide
Your world was made up of things sweet and good My world could never fit in, wish it could Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried That's what happens when two worlds collide
Your world was made up of things sweet and good My world could never fit in, wish it could Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried That's what happens when two worlds collide
Airport Song ((Dutch Version: Airport Song (by Gerard Cox) - 1972)) Composer(s): Christopher Simpson First release by: Magna Carta
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Sitting in the airport lounge I'm waiting for a plane Everything is grounded For the fog is down again I should be leaving in the morning On a flight for Singapore With a guitar and a suitcase and a face In a photograph
Dozing with a coffee and a drooping cigaret And the dog eats sunday supplement And still I can't forget I should be leaving in the morning On a plane bound for the sun With a guitar and a suitcase and a face In a photograph
The hands on the clock Turn around and around Dragging past the hours 'Till the dawning of the day And the girl in information With her eyes on confirmation She's turning with a smile to break the news
I cannot quite believe it, but I thought I heard her say "The customs all have workened up, the fog is on it's way" So I'll be leaving in the morning On a plane bound for the sun With a guitar and a suitcase and a face In a photograph
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh
Yes I'll be leaving in the morning On a plane bound for the sun
When Tonight Is Just A Memory Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George David Weiss Performer(s): Doris Day; Perry Como; Lionel Hampton
When tonight is just a memory Our love will still be new In our hearts there'll still be melody A love song warm and true Though the world may change as time goes by We'll never change, we two When tonight is just a memory Our love will still be new
When tonight is just a memory Our love will still be new In our hearts there'll still be melody A love song warm and true Though the world may change as time goes by We'll never change, we two When tonight is just a memory Our love will still be new
Airplane Composer(s): Brian Wilson Performer(s): The Beach Boys
Over the city in an airplane I can see everything below The houses they look so tiny The cars look like dots We've only got fifteen minutes to go
The clouds in the sky caress my mind so tenderly The sun shines down on the great big beautiful scene
The sound of the engine fills my ears up I'm hopin' this rainy weather clears up My lover is waiting at the airport Soon she'll be kissing me hello
The woman sitting next to me tells me 'bout her guy And I tell her all about you and I
Airplane, airplane Carry me back to her side Airplane, airplane I need God as my guide Down, down on the ground Can't wait to see her face
(a-1, a-2, a-1, 2, 3) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face) I can't wait (can't wait) To see (her face)
When To Today Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
When I call you will you tell me what to do Cos I've reached a point where I depend on you To supply me and rewind me every time that I go down On the ground I see a face It reminds me of a place I used to go With you when I was a boy of seventeen At least I think it was, if not somewhere between That amount of fun I've not got A lot of time to spare Everywhere there's people staring They think I am wearing funny clothes Who knows, where I can go For a meal there's a real restaurant in town
Who knows, where I can go For a meal there's a real restaurant in town
I can see you looking through your little hole In a wall just twice the thickness of the sole On my shoe, I'm telling you you'd better all that I said And be ready to go away Anytime today
Airmail To Heaven Composer(s): Kent Westberry Performer(s): Carl Smith
A letter was written by a little girl's hand It was sealed with her little heart's love 'Said airmail to heaven to Daddy To his new home somewhere up above As a postman I knew that it couldn't be mailed So I opened the letter and read To my surprise, tears filled my eyes Here's what the little girl said
Dear Daddy, Mommy now loves someone new She says that you're not coming home She told me to try to understand She can't go on living alone I hope Daddy you can forgive her She needs someone for all she's been through And he will never take your place He'll be just filling in for you
Well I finished and folded the letter Tears rolling down my face For I was the new man she mentioned Who was taking her Daddy's place
When this lousy war is over No more soldiering for me When I get my civvy clothes on Oh, how happy I shall be! No more church parades on Sunday No more putting in for leave I shall kiss the sergeant-major How I'll miss him, how he'll grieve! Amen
Airegin Composer(s): Sonny Rollins First recording/First release by: Miles Davis - 1954/1957 Covered by multiple other artists
Wait'll y'dig it on the map - Airegin Spelled backwards Really're closin' up the gap - Airegin Gone fac'wards Back long time ago they saw a ghost Ghost made a boast Soon that ghost was host

Whatta' y' think o'that'n get a load a' What I tell y' What this place is no one knows it There's no traces of the kind o'place it was Before it got discovered by the kind o' Cat that knows the earth belongs t'him Back when the world was young An' man was a living god An' he walked this earthly sod This was sod that god would trod on Till one day a stranger landed With a line o'jive Laid it on the natives till he had 'em thinkin' Maybe that they should really take five An' he quickly stole the natives' soul So he could control it An' he took care of that missionary biz Till the lan' was his Never heard a story draggy as that Tell th' truth I ain't never heard another That exasperated more What an exasperating narrative t'play Upon the sensitive and kindly soul that I am 'Way back when I was crawlin' in m'crib I was doin' all kinds o'thinkin' Aw'ready I had figured out the 'cut of m'jib' The kind o'soul that never liked t'tell 'r live a fib A body who was steadily reachin' up A min' always thinkin' on high-minded things Whee!

When They Sound The Last "All Clear" Composer(s): Hugh Charles; Lewis Elton Performer(s): Vera Lynn; and various other artists
When they sound the last all clear How happy my darling we'll be When they turn up the lights And those sad lonely nights Are only a memory Never more we'll be apart Always together sweetheart For the peace bells will ring And the whole world will sing When they sound the last all clear
Aire, aire no una brisa sino un torbellino de aire aire, aire ... que se llevo a los monstruos que se han hecho dueños de todos los sueños que fueron razón Aire, aire Tantos buzos alados surcando el aire aire, aire que no hay dios que circule con vuelo insumiso por el paraíso del camaleón Aire, aire, aire, aire... necesito respirar que me niego a comprender, amor que ya nunca pueda ser, amor verdad la verdad... pero qué verdad, pero qué verdad amor... Aire, aire no hay perfume que valga si falta el aire aire, aire de qué sirve que huela a jardines el viento si falta el aliento que atrapa la flor... Aire, aire aire de vendaval que revuelva el aire aire, aire aire airado que arrastre esta larga locura que escupe basura cuando habla de honor Aire, aire, aire, aire... Aire, aire no una brisa sino un torbellino de aire aire, aire que se lleve a los monstruos que se han hecho dueños de todos los sueños que fueron razón
When They Ask About You Composer(s): Sam H. Stept Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey; and various other artists
When I go for a walk And meet old friends we knew We sit around and talk Then they ask about you What's the good if I say That you and I are thru I tell them you're okay When they ask about you
They wonder where we've been And why we never call I take it on the chin Until the teardrops fall They don't mean to be smart But if they only knew They're stepping on my heart When they ask about you
