Holl amrantau'r sêr ddywedant Ar hyd y nos 'Dyma'r ffordd i fro gogoniant Ar hyd y nos

Will You Remember Mine Composer(s): Willie Nelson Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Timi Yuro
Sweet is the song, when the song is love Love that has stood the test of time And when you've heard all the songs of love Will you remember mine
Gone are the days that I walked with you And I held your hand in mine Now when you hold another's hand Will you remember mine
I have sat 'neath the trees while a cool summer's breeze Blew away the sands of time And I dreamed of days when you were here Remembering when you were mine
But gone are the times when I held you close And pressed your lips to mine Now when you kiss another's lips Will you remember mine
All Through The Day Composer(s): Jerome Kern - Oscar Hammerstein II First recording/First release by: Margaret Whiting & Carl Kress & His Orch. - 1945/1946 Covered by multiple other artists
All through the day, I dream about the night I dream about the night here with you All through the day, I wish away the time Until the time when I'm here with you
Down falls the sun, I run to meet you The evening mist melts away! Down smiles the moon, and soon your lips recall The kiss I dreamed of, all through the day!
Will You Marry Me Composer(s): Al Anderson; Jeffrey Steele Performer(s): Alabama
I come here today, I'm kind of nervous You know how words get in my way It should come easy, I've been rehearsing I don't know why I'm so afraid, to say
Will you marry me Put our love and life together Will you stay with me For always and forever On bended knee, would you take this ring Will you marry me, please Will you marry me
To be with you is what I live for But at this moment I confess Though I love you, God knows I love you Deep down inside I'm scared to death, say yes
Will you marry me Put our love and life together Will you stay with me For always and forever On bended knee, would you take this ring Will you marry me, please Will you marry me
On bended knee On bended knee Would you take this ring I will take your ring Will you marry me, please Will you marry me

Tomorrow never bothers me I know what it will bring It is just another day and it wont mean a thing But when nighttime falls and memories come into play What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?
Tomorrow never bothers me I know what it will bring It is just another day and it wont mean a thing But when night times falls and memories come into play What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?

Tonight you're mine completely You give you love so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes But will you love me tomorrow?
Is this a lasting treasure Or just a moment's pleasure? Can I believe the magic of your sighs? Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tonight with words unspoken You say that I'm the only one But will my heart be broken When the night meets the morning sun?
I'd like to know that your love Is love I can be sure of So tell me now, and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow?
So tell me now, and I won't ask again Will you still love me tomorrow? Will you still love me tomorrow? Will you still love me tomorrow?
All Those Years Ago Composer(s): George Harrison Performer(s): George Harrison
I'm shouting all about love While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago
I'm talking all about how to give They don't act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say All you need is love
Living with the good and the bad I always looked up to you Now we're left cold and sad By someone the devil's best friend Someone who offended all
We're living in a bad dream They've forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who Imagined it all All those years ago
Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of the lies And all else we despised
They've forgotten all about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago You said it all though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? All this useless beauty
Will You Love Me In December As You Do In May? Composer(s): J.J. Walker; Ernest R. Ball Performer(s): Joan Morris & William Bolcom
Now in the summer of life sweetheart You say you love but me Gladly I give all my heart to you Throbbing with ecstacy But last night I saw while a dreaming The future old and gray And I wondered if you'll love me then dear Just as you do today
You say the glow on my cheek sweetheart Is like the rose so sweet But when the bloom of fair youth has flown Then will our lips still meet? When life's setting sun fades away dear And all is said and done Will your arms still entwine and caress me Will our hearts beat as one?
Will you love me in the December as you do in May Will you love me in the good old fashioned way? When my hair has turned all gray Will you kiss me then and say That you love me in December as you do in May?
All This Useless Beauty Composer(s): Elvis Costello First release by: June Tabor - 1992
Its at times such as this shed be tempted to spit If she wasnt so ladylike She imagines how she might have lived Back when legends and history collide So she looks to her prince finding hes so charmingly Slumped at her side Those days are recalled on the gallery wall And shes waiting for passion or humour to strike
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? All this useless beauty
Good friday arrived, the sky darkened on time til he almost began to negotiate She held his head like a baby and said "its okay if you cry" Now he wants her to dress as if you couldnt guess He desires to impress his associates But hes part ugly beast and hellenic deceased So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? All this useless beauty
She wont practice the looks from the great tragic books That were later disgraced to face celluloid It wont even make sense but you can bet If she isnt a sweetheart or plaything or pet The film turns her into an unveiled threat
Nonsense prevails, modesty fails Grace and virtue turn into stupidity While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts They still think theyre the gods of antiquity If something you missed didnt even exist It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise?
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? All this useless beauty
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty? All this useless beauty
Will You Forgive If I Forget? Composer(s): Kurt Hirsekorn; Gabriel Selig
Oh could I but recall the past, dear and all its bright and happy hours! It would not be that now at last, dear your love should fade like summer flowers our hands, our lips have met in gladness how can our lives be parted now Let love's roses banish sadness, recall the shadow from your brow!
To take your image from my heart, dear would be to take the light from day! and if our paths on earth should part, dear my fondest hopes would fade away! Let not our little word now sever the bliss, the dreams that we have known! Oh, let us be sweethearts forever, let your dear love be all my own!
Say not farewell, ah leave that word unspoken which brings a tear a bitter sigh! say not the vows that once we made are broken by one sad word that word Goodbye! Oh! give me back your fond caresses I cannot help I love you yet the fault was mine my heart confesses will you forgive if I forget?
All This Stuff Takes Time Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie
It ain't so much the boredom But the fire in her soul That made her life unbearable While living in that hole Of her dark surburban nightmare 'Till she went to see the Dead And the self esteem she valued Was immediately spent And she had no one to turn to So she just turned off her mind She's a well adjusted wanderer But all this stuff takes time
On the streets of old Wyoming There's a couple from L.A. They are post-environmentalists Looking for to stay 'Till their friends all come to join them In the quest for air to breathe And when it gets too crowded They will just pick up and leave Like they did in New York City When the coast seemed quite sublime It don't take much but money And money just takes time
Marie is on the lounge chair Draped around the pool Avoiding almost anyone who'd Desecrate he cool It's the reason she's attractive She's already self abused And her pride won't feel the loneliness That comes with being used She's the center of the universe For which she was designed Until she wakes up wandering Why all this stuff takes time
Bill died of a heart attack Beating up his wife Now he's come back as a lesbian That's looking for his wife Who is now a psychoanalyst That likes to work with plants Except of course on weekends When she likes to wear the pants She's a leather goddess minister Who works with the confined It don't take much to realize That all this stuff takes time

All This Love Composer(s): El DeBarge First release by: DeBarge - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists
I had some problems And no one could seem to solve them But you found the answer You told me to take a chance And learn the way of love, my baby And all that it had to offer In time you will see that love won't let you down
You said that you loved me Said hurt only came to pass me It sounded so convincing That I gave it half a chance And learned the way of love my baby There is so much love inside me And all that I have I give my all to you (all, all my loving)
And all this love is waiting for you (my baby, my sugar) And all, all my love is waiting for you
All this love is waiting for you (Oooh!) And baby all, baby all this love is waiting for you (my sugar)
Oh, I love how you make me feel this way My love is getting stronger every day (my baby) And after all I went and put myself through I found that all I really needed was you (my darlin')
As the sun has its place up in the sky I love you so dearly And all the same, there's no need to wonder why I need you, please hear me
Say you really love me, baby Say you really love me, darlin' For I really love you baby You know I really love you darlin'
Say you really love me, baby Say you really love me, darlin' For I really love you baby Sure enough love you darlin'
Will There Be Any Yodeling In Heaven? Performer(s): Bob Wills; and various other artists
Will there be any yodeling in heaven That is what I'd like to know There can't be any wrong In just singing a song With a yodel lay-eee-ooh-my-lay-eee-tee Yodel lay-dee-ay-dee-ooh-my-lay-dee-tee Will there be any yodeling in heaven Ooh-lay-dee-dee-dee-dee And the heavens above Will they sing the songs we love While I yodel lay-eee-ooh-my lay-dee-tee

You give me your lips And your lips are so heavenly Stars in the sky are all free And they shine for me So does the moon in the blue All this is mine and heaven too
You give me your arms And your arms are like angel wings Sweet to my ear is the song ev'ry bluebird sings Each rosebud kissed by the dew All this is mine and heaven too
I own each summer day Each mountain capped with snow The sentimental tree, the dreamy streams that flow Ev'ry country lane and ev'ry street of stone Are highways of adventure made for me alone
You give me your love And your love is a melody Deep in my heart I will carry the song with me You bring a love so divine All this is mine and heaven too
All Things Must Pass Composer(s): George Harrison First release by: George Harrison - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Sunrise doesn't last all morning A cloudburst doesn't last all day Seems my love is up And has left you with no warning But it's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass All things must pass away
Sunset doesn't last all evening A mind can blow those clouds away After all this my love is up And must be leaving It has not always been this grey
All things must pass All things must pass away
All things must pass None of life's strings can last So I must be on my way And face another day
Now the darkness only stays at night-time In the morning it will fade away Daylight is good At arriving at the right time It's not always going to be this grey
All things must pass All things must pass away All things must pass All things must pass away
Will The Angels Play Their Harps For Me? Composer(s): D. White; Hirsch Performer(s): Josef Locke
I was passing by the churchyard in the city and I saw a beggar old and grey With his hands outstretched he asked the folks for pity and it made me sad to hear him say
Oh I wonder, yes I wonder, will the angels way up yonder will the angels play their harps for me? For my heart is growing dreary and my feet are growing weary Will the angels play their haprs for me?
Oh a million miles I've travelled, and a million sights I've seen and I'm ready for the glory soon to be Oh I wonder, yes I wonder, will the angels way up yonder will the angels play their harps for me?
Oh I wonder, yes I wonder, will the angels way up yonder will the angels play their harps for me?
Oh my heart is growing dreary, and my feet are growing weary will the angels play their harps for me?
Oh a million miles I've travelled, and a million sights I've seen and I'm ready for the glory soon to be Oh I wonder yes, I wonder, will the angels way up yonder will the angels play their harps for me?
All The Young Punks (New Boots And Contracts) Composer(s): Strummer - Jones Performer(s): The Clash
Hanging about down the market street I spent a lot of time on my feet When I saw some passing yabbos We did chance to speak
I knew how to sing y' know an They knew how to pose An' one of them had a Les Paul Heart attack machine
All the young punks Laugh your life Cos there ain't much to cry for All the young cunts Live it now Cos there ain't much to die for
Everybody wants to bum A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster And we went out Got our name in small print on the poster Of course we got a manger Though he ain't the mafia A contract is a contract When they get 'em out on yer
You gotta drag yourself to work Drag yourself to sleep You're dead from the neck up By the middle of the week
Face front you got the future shining Like a piece of gold But I swear as we get closer It look more like a lump of coal But it's better than some factory Now that's no place to waste your youth I worked there for a week once I luckily got the boot
Will The Angels Let Me Play Composer(s): Fred E. Gladdish; W.L. Werden Performer(s): George Morgan
In the yard where children Were playing games one day A little boy on crutches Was watching wistfully* It seemed so hard he couldn't play Like other children do They said that he would spoil their games And was a baby too
When I go to heaven momma Will the angels let me play Because I'm just a cripple Will they say I'm in the way
Here the children never want me I'm a bother they all say When I go to heaven mommy Will the angels let me play
Now this little fellows heart was breaking in two Just because the rest of the kids Wouldn't let him play
And as he hobbled to his mom on his crutches With his eyes full of tears She heard her little cripple boy say Gosh mommy I'm so awfully tired
And then he bowed his little head Won't you rock me just a little bit mom Before I have to go to bed And gee how I wish daddy would come home Before I go to sleep Will you tell him how I waited and waited For so long mom For his kiss on my little cheek
And then that night When all was still and silent A band of angels came that way And they took this little fellow up to heaven Where he'll never never have to say Mom when I go up to heaven Won't the angels let me play
Or maybe because I'm just a kid on crutches They'll say I'm in the way You know Mom here the rest kids never want me I'm a bother they all say
So when I go up to heaven mom Don't you think that maybe Just maybe The angels will let me play
When I go to heaven momma Will the angels let me play
