Am Tag als der Regen kam, langersehnt, heißerfleht auf die glühenden Felder, auf die durstigen Wälder am Tag als der Regen kam, langersehnt, heißerfleht da erblühten die Bäume, da erwachten die Träume da kamst du
Ich war allein im fremden Land die Sonne hat die Erde verbrannt überall nur Leid und Einsamkeit und du, ja du, so weit, so weit Doch eines Tages vom Süden her da zogen Wolken über das Meer und als endlich dann der Regen rann fing auch für mich das Leben an, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja, ja
Am Tag als der Regen kam, langersehnt, heißerfleht auf die glühenden Felder, auf die durstigen Wälder am Tag als der Regen kam, weit und breit, wundersam als die Glocken erklangen, als von Liebe sie sangen da kamst du, da kamst du

Wonderful Baby Composer(s): Don McLean Performer(s): Don McLean
Wonderful baby, livin' on love The sandman says maybe he'll take you above Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows Where babies float by just counting their toes
Wonderful baby, nothin' but new The world has gone crazy, I'm glad I'm not you At the beginning, or is it the end It goes in and comes out and start over again
Wonderful baby, livin' on love The sandman says maybe he'll take you above Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows Where babies float by just counting their toes
Wonderful baby, I'll watch while you grow If I knew the future you'd be first to know But I don't know nothin' of what life's about Just as long as you live you never find out
Wonderful baby, nothin' to fear Love whom you will but doubt what you hear They'll whisper sweet thing and make you untrue So be good to yourself, that's all you can do
You're a wonderful baby, livin' on love The sandman says maybe he'll take you above Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows Where babies float by just counting their toes

Versions In Other Languages: 1958 - La Pioggia Cadrà (by Betty Curtis) 1959 - Am Tag Als Der Regen Kam (by Dalida)
The day that the rains came down Mother Earth smiled again Now the lilacs could bloom Now the fields could grow greener
The fday that the rains came down Buds were born, love was born As the young buds will grow So our young love will grow Love, sweet love
A robin sang a song of love A willow tree reached up to the heavens As if to thank the sky above For all that rain, that welcome rain
We looked across the meadowland And seemed to sense a kind of a miracle Much too deep to understand And there we were, so much in love
The day that the rains came down Mountain streams swelled with pride Gone the dry river bed Gone the dust from the valley
The day that the rains came down Buds were born, love was born As the young buds will grow So our young love will grow

Le jour où la pluie viendra Nous serons, toi et moi Les plus riches du monde Les plus riches du monde Les arbres, pleurant de joie Offriront dans leurs bras Les plus beaux fruits du monde Les plus beaux fruits du monde Ce jour-là
La triste, triste terre rouge Qui craque, craque à l'infini Les branches nues que rien ne bouge Se gorgeront de pluie, de pluie Et le blé roulera par vagues Au fond de greniers endormis Et je t'enroulerai de bagues Et de colliers jolis, jolis
Le jour où la pluie viendra Nous serons, toi et moi Les fiancés du monde Les plus riches du monde Les arbres, pleurant de joie Offriront dans leurs bras Les plus beaux fruits du monde Les plus beaux fruits du monde Ce jour-là...

Women Will Rule The World Composer(s): Raymond Quevedo Performer(s): Ry Cooder
How different the ladies of long ago to the modern women that we all know If you observe you are bound to see that sex has changed entirely A long ago their one ambition in life was to be a mother and a wife Now they go out imitating the males by smoking cigarettes and drinking cocktails Girls used to like to be school teachers gradually becoming stenographers We next hear of them as lecturers, authors and engineers There is no limit to their ambition they've even gone in for aviation And if you men don't assert control your women will rule the world Play a bridge! Now they say anything that your man can do they also can achieve too And they've openly boasted to do their part in the literature and art We will next hear of them as candidates for the president of these United States And if you men don't assert control your women will rule the world Now you hear on the radio and TV of a great national calamity Story of tragic proportion coming from the White House in Washington The facts in the case are clearly stated the president is being cruely dominated By a international conspiracy that threatens world peace and security
Am I Too Late? Composer(s): Jim Hurt - Larry Keith Performer(s): Kenny Rogers; Gladys Knight
I don't understand your hesitation You always were so quick to say What needed to be said But you're standing there just saying nothing Please say something just don't tell me I'm too late
It took a while for me to understand my feelings for you I hope it's not too late to say I love you 'cause god knows I do
Before you turn away and the chance I had to love you is gone You got to know I've finally found the feeling
And though I never told you I live my life to hold you
Am I too late to show myself is it too late to let you know
Do you feel me Am I touching you Scares me to think you might say no 'Cause it's too late for me to let you go
You got to know I've finally found the feeling And though I never told you I live my live to hold you
Am I too late to show myself Is it too late to let you know Do you feel me Am I touching you It scares me to think you might say no 'Cause it's too late For me to let you go
Am I too late To show myself Am I too late to let you know do you feel me Am I touching you Scares me to think that you might say no Am I too late To show myself Am I too late To let you know Do you feel me Am I touching you Scares me to think that you might say no
Women Do Funny Things To Me Composer(s): Larry Kingston Performer(s): Del Reeves
Doo do do do doo a doo do do do doo
On a bareback camel I rode across Egypt Without water in the blistered sun And in Spain I stood calmly without even a cape And for the bull he was too tired to run Bound and tied a gagged and nailed in a barrel I went over Niagara oh yes But baby last night when you said you loved I turned into a quivering mess
'Cause women do funny things to me women do funny things to me I'm usually perfectly calm and colective and curious as I can be But ruby lips swingin' hips bitter minds tender sighs Pretty curles and flirty girls I see they do funny things to me
Without a guide or a gun I went a huntin' Killed a tiger with my two bare hands Without a rope and barefooted I climbed Mount Everest And didn't even get a blister on my hand Through the Okefenokee I waded pass the gators And the snakes and skeeters and flies But baby last night when we started kissin' I said Lord I can't stand it I'm gonna die
'Cause women do funny things to me...
Without a dog or a sled I walked across the Yukon It was spring but it was forty below And when they began to plan for the moon Guess who volunteered to go Yes I'm always ready to show my courage and my extreme bravery But baby last night when you talked marriage you scared the living outta me
Oh women do funny things to me... Funny things to me doo do do do doo funny things to me

I'm the one you want And I'm the one you need I'm the one you love The one you used to meet Around the corner everyday We would meet and slip away But we were much too young To love each other this way
Am I the same girl? Yes I am, yes I am Am I the same girl? Yes I am, yes I am
Why don't you stop And look me over? Am I the same girl You used to know? Why don't you stop And think it over? Am I the same girl Whom you hurt so?
I'm the one you hurt And I'm the one you need I'm the one who cried The one you used to need But you are pretending you don't care But the fire, ahh, is still there But we are no longer too young To love each other this way
Am I the same girl? Yes I am, yes I am Am I the same girl? Yes I am, yes I am Oh, yes I am
Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am) Am I the same girl?, yeah (Yes I am, yes I am) Oh, yes I am Am I the same girl? (Yes I am, yes I am) Oh, baby, yes I am
Women Be Wise Composer(s): Sippie Wallace; John Beach Performer(s): Bonnie Raitt; and various other artists
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good They will laugh in your face Then try to steal your man from you Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow, she changes clothes 3 times a day What do you think she's doing now, while you're so far away She's loving your man in your own damn bed You better call for the doctor, mama, try to investigate your head Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man Don't sit around, girl, telling all your secrets, telling all those good things he really can do If you talk about your baby, you tell me he's so fine Lord honey, I just might sneek up and try to make him mine Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't be no fool, don't advertise your man (baby don't do it)

Before you leave be sure you find You want his love much more than mine 'Cause I'll just say we've never met If I'm that easy to forget

Woman's Got Soul Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield Original Performers: The Impressions Covered by various other artists
She may not be the best lookin' woman I ever did see Nor have the charms of the ladies Of high society But the woman's got soul Worth all money and gold And all the love that I have belongs To the woman with soul Now I'm just a regular fellow I don't need much I don't need a Cadillac car Or diamonds and such But the woman that I hold She's got to have soul And then I'm richer than the richest gold If the woman's got soul Well, I don't need a woman That's got a whole lotta class Because class in a woman Don't mean she's gonna last I need the kind of woman That when I hold she fits so tight, yeah Oh, and when she throws it on me I give in without a fight Then I know The woman's got soul Worth all money and gold And then I'm richer than the richest gold If the woman's got soul If the woman's got soul
Am I Losin' Composer(s): Allen Collins - Ronnie Van Zant Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd
I recall when I used to come home never had a dime But Lord I always had a good time And I recall drinkin' wine with one of my friends Lord, I can't go back again
Am I losin' my own way back home Am I losin' a good friend that I've known Am I losin' won't you tell me how I've sinned Why am I losin one of my best friends
And I recall this friend of mine I knew so well It goes to show Lord you just can't tell Now my friend won't talk to me Let me tell you why he thinks I 've changed because of a dollar sign
Am I losin' my own way back home Am I losin' a good friend that I've known Am I losin' won't you tell me how I've sinned Why am I losin one of my best friends
And its so strange when you get just a little money Your so called friends want to act just a little funny They'll blame you
But I'm not the one that's here to blame Its you my friend that's really changed Its a shame, such a shame Am I losin' once again
Why these things happen, Lord I don't understand But Lord it can sure hurt a man Why my friend won't take me as I am 'Cause your friend Lord is the most important thing
Am I losin' my own way back home Am I losin' a good friend that I've known Am I losin' won't you tell me how I've sinned Why am I losin one of my best friends
