All My Trials ((French & German Versions: La Fin Du Voyage (by Nana Mouskouri); Am Ziel Meiner Reise (by Nana Mouskouri) Composer(s): Rita Green - Anita Carter Performer(s): Harry Belafonte and multiple other artists
Hush little baby, don't you cry You know your mama was born to die All my trials, Lord, soon be over
Too late, my brothers Too late, but never mind All my trials, Lord, soon be over
If religion were a thing that money could buy The rich would live and the poor would die All my trials, Lord, soon be over
I've got a little book that was given to me And every page spells liberty All my trials, Lord, soon be over
There is a tree in Paradise And the pilgrims call it the Tree of Life All my trials, Lord, soon be over
Am Ziel Meiner Reise ((English & French Versions: All My Trials (by Harry Belafonte); La Fin Du Voyage (by Nana Mouskouri)) Composer(s): Rita Green - Anita Carter - M. Künze Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Der Fluss des Vergessens ist tief und weit Befreit die Seele vom Staub der Zeit
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Die Straße des Lebens führt steil bergauf Doch wenn ich fall, steh ich wieder auf
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Zu spät zur Umkehr Zu spät, doch was auch kommt
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Und wenn auch manchmal die Angst erwacht Der Stern der Hoffnung führt mich durch die Nacht
Bald bin ich am Ziel meiner Reise
Die Quelle der Wahrheit ist klar und kalt Und wer trinkt aus ihr, wird niemals alt

Why do they always try to keep us apart? Why do they laugh at what I feel in my heart? Gee the stars are shining bright I wish that I could hold you tight Why don't they let us fall in love? Why don't they let us fall in love? Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why?
Gee the stars are shining bright I wish that I could hold you tight Why don't they let us fall in love? Why don't they let us fall in love? Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why? Yeah yeah, why? Oh oh oh oh, why? Oh oh, why? Yeah yeah yeah yeah, why?
La Fin Du Voyage ((English & German Versions: All My Trials (by Harry Belafonte); Am Ziel Meiner Reise (by Nana Mouskouri)) Composer(s): Rita Green - Anita Carter - Pierre Delanoë - Claude Lemesle Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
La glace de l'hiver a beau me mordre le corps Je me garde mon âme intacte encore
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
J'ai trois pages à ma Bible: Amour et Vérité Et la troisième est Liberté
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Le jour devient noir Mais j'ai toujours l'espoir
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Si la vie pouvait être achetée par l'argent Les pauvres seraient morts et les riches vivants
Qu'elle est loin la fin du voyage
Je vais planter un arbre au paradis Il va devenir l'arbre de vie

You're a lucky boy, I am lucky too All our dreams of joy seem to come true Maybe that's because you love me Maybe that's why I love you!

Today I may not have a thing at all Except for just a dream or two But I've got lots of plans for tomorrow And all my tomorrows belong to you
Right now it might not seem like Spring at all We're drifting and the laughs are few But I've got rainbows planned for tomorrow And all my tomorrows belong to you
No-one knows better than I That luck keeps passing me by That's fate! But with you there by my side I'll soon be turning that tide Just wait!
As long as I've got arms that cling at all It's you that I'll be clinging to And all the dreams I dream, be or borrow On some bright tomorrow They'll all come true And all my bright tomorrows belong to you
As long as I've got arms that cling at all It's you that I'll be clinging to And all the dreams I dream, be or borrow On some bright tomorrow They'll all come true And all my bright tomorrows belong to you

Reindeer On My Roof Composer(s): Tom Paxton Performer(s): Tom Paxton
I can't sleep when I'm straining to hear the reindeer on my roof All night long I'm wide awake to hear, reindeer on my roof What was that that? The wind? What was that? A bird? I can't sleep 'cos I want to hear Santa Claus I've just got to keep my eyes open
Last year I fell asleep and I never heard reindeer on my roof Dasher and Dancer, Comet & Blitzen, reindeer on my roof Last year as you came down the chimney Daddy said there was proof Proof that Santa Claus came, and there were reindeer on the roof
I'm in bed and in my head I'm turning upside down I'm awake you see and must be the chumpiest git in town I can hear people murmering through my bedroom door Footsteps passing, someone laughing What are they whispering for?
Last year Santa Claus ate all the cookies, left just a couple of crumbs Sister asleep, I won't wake her when the magic moment comes When our house is quiet, on the longest night of the year I'll be be the only one waken up And I know what I'll hear
I can't sleep when I'm straining to hear the reindeer on my roof All night long I'm wide awake to hear reindeer on my roof What was that that the wind? What was that? a bird? I can't sleep 'cos I want to hear Santa Claus I've just got to keep my eyes open
Last year I fell asleep and I never heard reindeer on my roof Dasher and Dancer Comet & Blitzen, reindeer on my roof Last year as you came down the chimney Daddy said there was proof Proof that Santa Claus came, and there were reindeer on the roof
Why Did I Choose You? Composer(s): M. Leonard; H. Martin Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Why did I choose you? What did I see in you? I saw the heart you hide so well I saw a quiet man, who had a gentle way a way that caught me in its glowing spell
Why did I want you? What could you offer me ? A love to last a life-time through? And when I lost my heart so many years ago I lost it lovingly and willingly to you
If I had to choose again, I would still choose you

Why Can't You Bring Me Home Composer(s): Wes Farrell; Joel Hirschhorn; Al Kasha Performer(s): Jay & The Americans
Why do we always meet on the edge of town? Why do we have to wait till the sun goes down? Where do you live and why don't you even give me a place to go?
Chorus: Come on baby, why can't you bring me Baby baby, why can't you bring me Come on baby, why can't you bring me home?
Baby baby, why can't you bring me home?
I'll ask around but nobody knows for sure But they agree that your folks are mighty rude Are you ashamed of the way you were raised And that's why it stays unknown?
(chorus)
You may not wear such pretty clothes But when you're in my arms, you love like a rose
What do I care if I see a broken chair? Why do I need the best kind of silverware? All that I need to make me complete is your tender love alone
All My Money Back Performer(s): The Blues Brothers
You kiss me and you hug me And feild me for a drink You took all my money before I can do anything You're using me I said you're using me If you don't do something about that I want all my money back
I bought you a new car Buyin' pretty clothes I said right now ya Don't I know You're using me You're using me If you don't do something about that I want all my money back
You took all my money You left me flat broke You didn't leave me enough money To buy a half a good coat You're using me If you don't do something about that I want all my money back
Why Can't You Behave? Composer(s): Cole Porter Performer(s): Dinah Washington; and various other artists
Why can't you behave? Oh, why can't you behave? After all the things you told me And the promises that you gave Oh, why can't you behave?
(Chorus) Why, why, why can't you be good?
(Dinah) I was faithful and true but what good will it do
(Chorus) And do, do just as you should?
(Dinah) Yes you had the right touch but I was askin' too much Won't you turn that new leaf over So your baby can be your slave? Oh, why can't you behave?
There's a farm I know near my old home town Where we two can go and try settling down There I'll care for you forever 'Cause you're all in this world I crave Oh, why can't you behave? Why can't you behave?
