All Alone Am I ((Adapted from: Min Ton Rotas Ton Ourano (by Tzeni Karezi) - 1959)) ((Danish Version: Er Det Helt Forbi (by Birthe Kjær) - 1974)) Composer(s): Yiannis Ioanidis - Manos Hadjidakis - Arnie Altman Performer(s): Brenda Lee - 1962 and multiple other artists
All alone am I ever since your goodbye All alone with just a beat of my heart People all around but I don't hear a sound Just the lonely beating of my heart
No use in holding other hands For I'd be holding only emptiness No use in kissing other lips For I'd be thinking just of your caress
All alone am I ever since your goodbye All alone with just a beat of my heart People all around but I don't hear a sound Just the lonely beating of my heart
No other voice can say the words My heart must hear to ever sing again The words you used to whisper low No other love can ever bring again
All alone am I ever since your goodbye All alone with just a beat of my heart People all around but I don't hear a sound Just the lonely beating of my heart
All alone I sit at home with my chrome guitar Even Michael Mouse he had a house with someone there You handsome bitch you movie twitch and seranade the dudes that move and smile so vile and masquerade. They masquerade, yeah.
An adjacent kid with a Jamaican lid and a switch-blade knife steals the truth from your golden tooth then turns you in
So hold hands tight on a marble night you may be dismissed but know that Zeus is never loose with his Grecian kiss his Grecian kiss
Fiery skies in children's eyes fade into youth bleeding blood and tears on all the ears that heard your gold. so you walk the dog and you stroll the frog on a dome-sky earth to lie to hard is an English bard. You'd better hide your tracks Better watch your mind
While The Feeling's Good Composer(s): Roger Bowling; Freddie Hart Performer(s): Wayne Newton; Kenny Rogers; B.J. Thomas
Take your gown out of the closet Put it on that's why I bought it Come stand in front of me and let me see Take the warm smile that you're wearing Place it on these lips that's burning To share this fire you've built inside of me Turn the light down in the bedroom Pull the sheet down from the pillow When we're like this Love's easy understood Let's walk through this house we live in To the room we always love in And let's love each other while the feeling's good
With all my will I promise With all of me I'll love you This feeling that I've got Just grows and grows I can't stop this wanting you And I can't stop this needing you No more than I can stop The wind that blows I'll hold to your sweet loving Long as we both have this feeling I'll love you everyway I know that's good Let's walk through this house we live in To the room we always love in And let's love each other while the feeling's good
While the feelings good Let's keep it going While the loving's good Let's keep it growing Let's walk through this house we live in To the room we always love in And let's love each other while the feeling's good
While Strolling Through The Park One Day Composer(s): Ed Haley; Reinhard Keiser Performer(s): Alvin & The Chipmunks
(Refrain) While strolling through the park one day In the merry merry month of May I was taken by surprise By a pair of roguish eyes In a moment my poor heart was stole away
A smile was all she gave to me
Of course we were as happy as can be
Ah! I immediately raised my hat And finally she remarked I never shall forget That lovely afternoon I met her at the fountain in the park
While strolling through the park one day In the merry merry month of May I was taken by surprise By a pair of roguish eyes In a moment my poor heart was stole away
A smile was all she gave to me Of course we are as happy as can be Ah! I immediately raised my hat And finally she remarked I never shall forget That lovely afternoon I met her at the fountain in the park
All Across The Havens Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin Performer(s): Elton John
The sister of sunlight Comes to my lonely life Bearing the crosses I hung I hung on my lonely wife And the anchor told me If I prayed by the river That the sweet sound of water Would always go with her
All across the havens to the waterfall They told me I would meet her there Inside those icy walls But how on earth in this universe Can they forgive me of my pains For all across the havens I must stumble locked in chains
Then the mother of mercy Showed me her stable And told me you would be safe Safe in her cradle And the waterfall opened And the water withdrew Leaving me standing On a road leading through
While My Heart Is Still Beating Composer(s): Bryan Ferry; Andy Mackay Performer(s): Roxy Music
All of those people Everywhere Ever so needing Where's it all leading Tell me where Nothing insincere I'd better have pity I'd better go easy I never will lay down While my heart is still beating Where it's all leading Walk on air Am I still dreaming Words to spare Lost in their meaning I'd better be strong now I'd better stop dreaming My heart has flown away now Will it never stop bleeding?
All About You Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Well if you call this a life Why must I spend it with you? If the show must go on Let it go on without you So sick and tired hanging around with jerks like you
Who'll tell me those lies And let me think they're true? What am I to do You want it, I got it too
Though the lies might be true That's just cause the joke's about you I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you You're the first to get blamed, always the last bitch to get paid
Oh, tell me those lies Let me think they're true I heard one or two They weren't about me, they weren't about her They were all about you
I may miss you But missing me just isn't you I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you
Tell me those lies Let me think they're true I heard one or two, and they weren't about me, they weren't about her They're all about you I'm so sick and tired What should I do You want it, you get it... So how come I'm still in love with you?
While My Guitar Gently Weeps Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): The Beatles
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you How to untold your love I don't know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice it's turning While my guitar gently weeps I with every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted you were perverted too I don't know how you were inverted no one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at you all Still my guitar gently weeps
All About Soul Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel; Anders Holst
She waits for me at night, she waits for me in silence She gives me all her tenderness and takes away my pain And so far she hasn't run, though I swear she's had her moments She still believes in miracles while others cry in vain
It's all about soul It's all about faith and a deeper devotion It's all about soul 'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion She's got to be strong 'Cause so many things getting out of control Should drive her away So why does she stay? It's all about soul
She turns to me sometimes and asks me what I'm dreaming And I realize I must have gone a million miles away And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me that moment And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say
It's all about soul It's all about knowing what someone is feeling The woman's got soul The power of love and the power of healing This life isn't fair It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold You've got to be tough, but that ain't enough It's all about soul
There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness There are many who have fallen, there are some who still survive She comes to me at night and she tells me her desires And she gives me all the love I need to keep my faith alive
It's all about soul It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow It's all about soul Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow You've got to be hard Hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll But that's only part, you know in your heart It's all about soul
While I'm Waiting Composer(s): Gary Mallaber; John Massaro Performer(s): The Steve Miller Band
I left my message on your number In hopes that you might call Riding high on good intentions Still hanging on the wall Although my words were never all too Clear its understood Its never too late to say in other ways Something in our lives well rearrange More than just your call on holiday
Ring me up, dont bring me down Dont let me hear you wont Come through tonight Ring me up, dont bring me down You know this lonely heart stands by me While Im waiting
Remembering how it came together The meaning in your eyes Now words fall out like perfect strangers We both apologize In all this time I thought I knew you And over looked somehow the reasons why You kept inside
Ring me up, dont bring me down Dont let me hear you wont Come through tonight This lonely heart stands by me While Im waiting
Ring me up, dont bring me down Dont let me hear you wont Come through tonight
Ring me up, dont bring me down Heres hoping the days gone by well see again This lonely heart stands by and Im still waiting Ooh still waiting Ooh still waiting
All About Love Composer(s): Maurice White - Larry Dunn Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire
We know its been time talking to you So we figure we lay it on you Let you know how we feel about, love Paint a pretty smile, each day Lovin, is a blessing Never let it fade away Its all about love
Build yourself a true romance Theres beauty that surround you You deserve, just one more chance
My dear, my dear
Let the light snine, all through Your mind feel your little, heart a glow Take the time, make up your mind Its all about love
Talking to yourself is fine makes You feel, much better Know just where to draw the line
My dear, my dear
Bound to fall in love one day Surely and you need it Pretty smile will always say Its all about love
We want to take this moment to run Down a couple of things about things We see everyday
Now, I want you to stop whatever youre doing Youre doing Just stop You know, they say there s beauty In the eyes which I say is not the fact cause you are as beautiful as your Thoughts, right on
You know, for instance, we study all kin Kinds of sciences, astrogy, mysticism Religion, so forth we did And like coming from here place, all these things help Because if youre inside your inner self Have mercy!
Now Theres an outer self we got to deal with The one that likes to go to parties One that likes to dress up and be cool And look pretty, all ego-trips avel all this
Hear you all, Im trying to tell you You gotta love you. and learn all the beautiful things around you Trees and birds. and if there aint no beauty You got to make some beauty Have mercy! Listen to me, yeah!
While I'm Still Alive Composer(s): Ultravox Performer(s): Ultravox
Playing the game With the chips on my shoulder Checking in the mirror As my coffee cup gets colder Stagger and swagger Combing my hair If tomorrow's not there Then at least today's all mine
Chorus:
While I'm still alive While I'm still alive While I'm still alive
Strutting my stuff I'm blagging the damage From coupling with headlines I was suckled on salvage The fighting's exciting The age is dramatic I'm crackling with static Just jiving to survive
(Chorus)
Take a stroll down the side roads, I know you want to A shock in the dark can be good for your heart, oh yeah
(Chorus)
Scuffling along On the crest of a wave Laughing and grafting Or jerking and working Striking a match Where life is a gas I need the flash To make it all worthwhile
Alive In The World Composer(s): Jackson Browne Performer(s): Jackson Browne; David Howard
I want to live in the world, not inside my head I want to live in the world, I want to stand and be counted With the hopeful and the willing With the open and the strong With the voices in the darkness Fashioning daylight out of song And the millions of lovers Alive in the world
I want to live in the world, not behind some wall I want to live in the world, where I will hear if another voice should call To the prisoner inside me To the captive of my doubt Who among his fantasies harbors the dream of breaking out And taking his chances Alive in the world
To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world
With it's beauty and it's cruelty With it's heartbreak and it's joy With it constantly giving birth to life and to forces that destroy And the infinite power of change Alive in the world
To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world
Which Way Are You Goin'? Composer(s): Jim Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Which way are you going, which side will you be on Will you stand and watch while, all the seeds of hate are sown Will you stand with those who say, let his will be done One hand on the bible One hand on the gun One hand on the bible One hand on the gun
Which way are you looking, is it hard to see Do you say what's wrong for him, is not wrong for me You walk the streets, righteousness but you refuse to understand You say you love the baby Then you crucify the man You say you love the baby Then you crucify the man
Everyday, things are changing, words once honored turned to lies People wondering, can you blame them Its to far to run, and to late to hide
Now you turn your back on, all the things that you used to preach Now its let him live in freedom, if he lives like me Well you light has changed, confusion rains, what have you become All your olive branches turned to spears When your flowers turned to guns Your olive branches turned to spears When your flowers turned to guns
