All Fall Down Composer(s): Phil Bates - Bev Bevan Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra
What can you tell me, of the perfect man What can you tell me, now I don't quite understand We lose our grip, we glide and stall Some things come easy, some don't come at all
We chip away at the perfect man What can you show me, now I don't quite understand Eye to eye nothing left to say But will you really throw it all away
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down Things go wrong, though are strong We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Round and round, we all fall down Sometime....
No matter how we try to keep things straight It makes no difference, while we cause our fate We burn our candle unaware While on our knees we cry in prayer
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down Pain wont last, this too shall pass We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Round and round, time and time, again
But ahhhh If it's so simple then explain to me How pain is so close to ecstasy How change can make you feel so free
Ahhhh If we were meant to be such perfect fools Then why do we always break the rules Crashing through life's scenery
We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down Angry cries and desperate lies We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down Hearts to mend, sun comes up again
White Rabbit Composer(s): Grace Slick Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane
One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's "off with her head!" Remember what the dormouse said "Feed your head Feed your head Feed your head"
White On White Composer(s): Lor Crane; Bernice Ross Performer(s): Danny Williams
White on white, lace on satin Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet White on white, lace on satin My little angel is getting married today
Here she comes in her wedding gown lookin' like a queen She has been my only love since she was thirteen I've been dreaming of this day and how proud I'd be When she came walkin' down the aisle and held out her hand to me
White on white, lace on satin Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet White on white, lace on satin My little angel is getting married today
I'll be waiting to kiss the bride when her name is new Standing oh, so close to her silently saying "I do" I'll be holding back my tears till she's gone away 'cause she'll belong to someone else when the organ starts to play
White on white, lace on satin Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet White on white, lace on satin My little angel is ge-e-etting ma-a-rried today
White Lightning Composer(s): J.P. Richardson Performer(s): George Jones
Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still We brewed white lightnin' 'til the sun went down Then he'd fill him a jug and he'd pass it around Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
(Chorus) Well the "G" men "T" men revenuers, too Searchin' for the place where he made his brew They were looking, tryin to book him, but my pappy kept a-cookin' Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
Well I asked my old pappy why he called his brew White lightnin' 'stead of mountain dew I took a little sip and right away I knew As my eyes bugged out and my face turned blue Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Shhhoooh . . . white lightnin'
(Chorus)
Well a city slicker came and he said "I'm tough" I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff He took one s-s-sip and drank it right down And I heard him a moaning as he hit the ground Mighty, mighty pleasin, pappy's corn squeezin' Whshhhoooh . . . white lightnin'

White Days Of Spring Spanish Title: Días Blancos De Primavera Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
White days of Spring To awaken with the green that's sprung its perfume comes to give you a quick spray White days of Spring this blue will take your pain away farther than the cold, to some frozen corner
Days without peace, no longer will there be days without peace If you've already drowned from crying If you've already cleansed your soul anew Back to shining, release your grief, back to shining
White days of Spring flower in bloom waiting to give its all by barely asking you to look at it
Back to shining, release your grief, back to shining Because winter will return today is time for warmth Sunny day, may today be a sunny day Don't insist on looking back for one day, soon, days will freeze
Every Spring day Every petal carries a song that it prepared while the cold drowned its voice
Sunny day, may today be a sunny day If you've already drowned from crying If you've already cleansed your soul anew Days of love, days for giving, days of love
White days of Spring This white blossom of today holds the fruit May all of life shine in Spring inside and out the Sun returns

White Bird Composer(s): David LaFlamme; Linda LaFlamme Performer(s): It's A Beautiful Day; and various other artists
White bird in a golden cage On a winter's day, in the rain White bird in a golden cage Alone
The leaves blow 'cross the long black road To the darkened sky, in its rage But the white bird just sits in her cage Unknown
White bird must fly or she will die The white bird dreams of the aspen tree With her dying leaves turning gold But the white bird just sits in her cage Growing old
White bird must fly or she will die White bird must fly or she will die
The sunsets come, the sunsets go The clouds float by, the earth turns slow And a young bird's eyes do always glow And she must fly And she must fly And she must fly
White bird in a golden cage On a winter's day, in the rain White bird in a golden cage Alone
White bird must fly or she will die White bird must fly or she will die White bird must fly or she will die White bird must fly

Whistling Away The Dark Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Henry Mancini Performer(s): Henry Mancini; and various other artists
Often I think this sad old world is whistling in the dark Just like a child, who, late from school walks bravely home through the park To keep their spirits soaring and keep the night at bay Neither quite knowing which way they are going, they sing the shadows away Often I think my poor old heart has given up for good and then I see a brand new face, I glimpse some new neighborhood So walk me back home, my darling, tell me dreams really come true Whistling whistling here in the dark with you Often I think my poor old heart has given up for good and then I see a brand new face, I glimpse some new neighborhood So walk me back home, my darling, tell me dreams really come true Whistling whistling here in the dark with you
