Angelina Composer(s): Knut Koppang Performer(s): Ray Charles
Angelina, why did you have to go It's hard enough alone, well you should know The scars you never showed me Your eyes that turned away Angelina, to God for you I prayed
Angelina, I often heard you weep At times I'd stay awake and watch you sleep Your innocence would move me At times you've made me scared Angelina, my love for you I cared
Angelina, in silence you would speak A simple touch of you and I grew weak You finally let me hold you The day before you died Angelina, my angel in the sky
You finally let me hold you The day before you died Angelina, my angel in the sky
Dawning Composer(s): Mark Barkan; Tony Powers Performer(s): Jay & The Americans
I woke up this morning, the sun's shining brightly And loving each leaf on each tree Remembering the way that your lips touched mine lightly Yes, your love is dawning on me Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh Yes, your love is dawning on me
Flowers are bloomin', the robin is singing, And my heart is in harmony The sweet things you said have all to my head Oh yes, your love is dawning on me Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh Yes, your love is dawning on me
Perfume and roses and blue skies and laughter The world is a great place to be What used to be sadness has turned into gladness Yes, your love is dawning on me Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh Yes, your love is dawning on me
We were children who played On the backstreets of border towns And we dreamed of the day when we might run away To where the good life was found I remember the night When I asked you to be my girl Now I feel so ashamed of the promise I made When I said I would give you the world
My Angelina, when I look in your eyes I believe I could change the world With you by my side My Angelina, give me courage to try I believe in the man I see In my Angelina`s eyes
Seems like nothin` worked out Quite the way it was planned to be Oh, the dreams that we chased when we came to this place Are like nightmares to me Workin` day after day In the noise of the factory And the money`s no good but if I say a word Immigration will take me away
My Angelina, when I look in your eyes I believe I could change the world With you by my side My Angelina, give me courage to try I believe in the man I see In my Angelina`s eyes
If I hadn`t been drunk I would never have hit that man But the whiskey and I saw the look in his eye When he asked Angelina to dance Now they`re takin` me south To a jail down in border town But it won`t be for long, Angelina, be strong Keep believin` our dreams will work out
My Angelina, when I look in your eyes I believe I could change the world With you by my side My Angelina, give me courage to try I believe in the man I see In my Angelina`s eyes
My Angelina, when I look in your eyes I believe I could change the world With you by my side My Angelina, give me courage to try
Angélica Sérénade Composer(s): André Tabet - Guy Carlier - Francis Lopez Performer(s): Luis Mariano
Angélica, pourquoi es-tu si loin de moi Tu es mon bonheur et ma joie! Ton nom est si joli Que j'en ai fait, chérie La chanson de ma vie Je veux chanter
Angélica sérénade! Au monde entier Angélica sérénade! C'est un poème, un peu bohème Sur ce vieux thème: l'Amour Un air de danse, une romance Qui recommence toujours Chanson du cur: Angélica sérénade! Chanson des fleurs: Angélica sérénade! Le vent qui court, au fond des bois Chante pour moi, oh, mon amour Angélica sérénade
Dawn (Go Away) Composer(s): Gaudio; Linzer Performer(s): Frankie Valli
Pretty as a midsummers morn, they call her Dawn
Dawn, go away I'm no good for you Oh, Dawn, stay with him he'll be good to you Hang on, Hang on to him
Think, what a big man he'll be Think, all the places you'll see Now think what the future would be with a poor boy like me
Dawn go away, please go away Although I know I want you to stay Dawn go away, please go away Baby don't cry, it's better this way
Oh Dawn go away, back where you belong Girl we can't change the places where we were born Before you say that you want me
I want you to think what your family would say think what you're throwing away Now think what the future would be with a poor boy like me repeat 5x Dawn, go away I'm no good for you

David's Song Composer(s): David Paich Performer(s): Cher
Won'tcha let me rock and roll you baby I haven't seen you in a long, long time I haven't fooled around with any candles lately Just thought you might have some music in mind
Chorus: Ah I just want to serenade you Maybe we could even live a verse or two And I could finish this ole love song So I could start singing it to you I could start singing it to you If I could finish this ole love song And I could start singing it to you
Won't you come and boogie-woogie with me baby It's been a while since I held you close to me I haven't met many boys like you baby Knew I would find you eventually
If It Feels Good Do It Composer(s): Jerry Chesnut Performer(s): Dave Dudley
Some folks call me a laughin' boy Some say I'm a clown But till you've tried my way of life Don't ever put it down And if it feels good do it If it hurts just let it lie Now there's no mistery to it Just a better way to look at life
Some folks worry bout growin' old but that don't bother me Old age is one thing I hope that I live long enough to see Forget your disappointments Pretend they wasn't there But when they pass out happiness Be sure you get your share And if it feels good...
One day when I'm old and gray Lookin' back at what I've done I can face the world and say that livin' sure was fun And if it feels good... And if it feels good...
D'autres Filles Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
J'ai tapissé ma chambre de ton plus beau regard J'ai pas peur de décembre car j'ai dans mon placard Un vrai soleil qui brille en souvenirs des beaux jours J'ai connu d'autres filles mais pas un autre amour
Parfois l'idée me hante que tu me mènes en bateau Mais qu'il pleuve ou qu'il vente je te cherche au fil de l'eau Je traîne ma mélancolie comme un marin de port en port J'ai connu d'autres filles mais je t'attends encore
Oh t'es partie sans laisser d'adresse oh t'as même pas signé ta photo Mais y a encore toute ta tendresse qui plane autour de mon piano De toutes mes harmonies tu es la dominante J'ai connu d'autres filles mais c'est toi que je chante
Je suis trop seul le soir j'digère plus mon pain noir Ni le quignon de chagrin qu'je garde pour le matin Mais j'attends trop d'la vie pour lui tenir rancur J'ai connu d'autres filles mais j'attends le bonheur
J'attends que ta valise soit trop lourde à porter J'attends qu'tu réalises que j'suis là pour t'aider Même si tu changes de lit chaque fois que tu changes de banque J'ai connu d'autres filles mais c'est toi qui me manques C'est toi qui me manques
Original Traveling Man Composer(s): Tom T. Hall - Dave Dudley Performer(s): Dave Dudley
I knew the state of ol' Wisconsin back when I was eight I sang all over Minneapolis lookin' for a break I rode the rapid rivers with the Chiquoia Indian tribe I traveled on my thumb though it injured my pride I'm the world's worst world's first go-while-you-can original traveling man The world's best forget the rest one-night-stand original traveling man
I've traveled down to Nashville just a looking for a song I've traveled down to Mexico just a looking for a home I guess I've got a self-winding watch for a mind I start runnin' down if I ain't movin' all the time I'm the world's worst world's first...
I've traveled in a PT boat and fought for Uncle Sam I've been as close to death as any living man I've traveled in a limousine and I've traveled in a truck I've traveled by myself ma'm but thank you very much I'm the world's worst world's first... Hey I'm the world's worst world's first...
Daughters Of Time Composer(s): Judy Collins Performer(s): Judy Collins
From the beginning of time Like a heartbeat that never can die Like the wind on the sea like the sun on the sand Like a baby's cry We've had a dream in our hearts That gives us the courage to try We must have a song that says we can be strong
We must reach for the sky
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
We are no longer alone we are no longer afraid
We can reach out with our hands and our hearts
That's how dreams are made Over the water so wide Like a bird that sails on through the sky We know the way to be the best we can be And look life in the eye
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
Just like the lady in the harbor shining bright Giving her hope in the darkest of the night Just like the lady in the harbor standing tall Now we know we are together one and all
We're on our way to the stars Nothing can turn us away We will survive and our dream is alive of a better day There is a way to find peace Turning away from the past With love for our brothers and sisters on earth We'll have a new world at last
We are the daughters of time And the sisters of a new day Born in the labor of love And the promise of tomorrow We are the children of light and we are here today We are here to stay The suns and the daughters of time
You've Got To Cry Girl Composer(s): Dave Dudley - Richard Barish Performer(s): Dave Dudley
Oh you've got to cry girl Then you'll know how I miss you Well I've grown up girl I've learned how to be a man I've cried tears, felt the pain Have memories when you hurt me But now look at me I still know I can stand Say are you listening girl Do you hear what I'm saying And do you know girl the reason that I walked out Well you're young right now but tomorrow the world may find you So learn from life and find what love's about
Oh you've got to cry girl before you can be a woman And you've gotta hurt girl before you'll understand You need tears and time and sad memories to complete you So I wish you all the heartaches you can stand
Daughter Of The Night Composer(s): Hasse Huss; Mikael Rickfors Performer(s): Santana; Jim Capaldi; Richie Havens; Mikael Rickfors
One way in and one way out You don't know what it's all about You look to the left You look to the right The brightest day and the darkest night
Chorus: And if you see me stealin' away You better believe that I'd much rather stay Daughter of the night Everything right Is getting to you baby Sister of the sun Born on the run Just let me move you baby On the road well I been told The people need a highway code The harder the chase The sweeter the catch I ain't the driver but you met your match
Chorus
You can win and you can lose Listen mama you got to choose You can give up tryin' Or break downi cryin' Or keep on goin' Change your mind
We'd Better Stop Composer(s): Don Goodman - Troy Seals - Will Jennings Performer(s): Connie Cato
We'd better stop, don't go no further 'Cause you know this lovin' feelin's made us blind We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other 'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine
We can't go on lovin' wrong And never find the way to make things right It's a shame, but it can't be changed So we'll take the chance we won't be seen tonight
Just one last time and then it's over But I know I'll never get you off my mind We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other 'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine
We can't go on lovin' wrong And never find the way to make things right It's a shame, but it can't be changed So we'll take the chance we won't be seen tonight
We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other 'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine 'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and no, you're not mine We'd better stop
Daughter Of Mine Composer(s): Eric Robertson; Madeline Thomson Performer(s): John McDermott; Andy Cooney; Gary Gamble
These are the thoughts of a father On the wedding day of his daughter As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her He looks at her now, the same pride in his eyes As onto the dance floor they glide This is the dance of the bride and her father
Dance with me daughter of mine On this your wedding day Dance with me daughter of mine You'll soon be going away I loved you since you first began Now you've found a new man But I love you so, and this you must know That my love won't falter So dance with me daughter Beautiful daughter of mine
We walk down the aisle, on my face there's a smile But deep in my heart there's a tear Our friends and relations are here in the church With smiles on their faces they stare As we walk t'ward the man who has stolen your heart And to whom I must give you away But I wish you love and happiness too On this your wedding day
Dance with me daughter of mine On this your wedding day Dance with me daughter of mine You'll soon be going away I loved you since you first began Now you've found a new man But I love you so, and this you must know That my love won't falter So dance with me daughter Beautiful daughter of mine
The dance has begun, we twirl around the floor But I know you're not my little girl anymore A lovely young woman has taken her place And there's happiness written all over her face But always remember although we must part You may leave my arms but never my heart
Dance with me daughter of mine On this your wedding day Dance with me daughter of mine You'll soon be going away I loved you since you first began Now you've found a new man But I love you so, and this you must know That my love won't falter So dance with me daughter Beautiful daughter of mine
Angelica Composer(s): Ralph Benatar - Jimmy Frey - Chris Lorans Performer(s): Jimmy Frey
Angelica, I love you Angelica, je t'aime Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort
Het wordt reeds laat en je droomprins liet zich niet zien Hij schonk je geen paleis en jij werd geen koningin Toe verlaat je sprookjeswereld en je feestkledij Want jou plaats Angelica is bij mij
Angelica, I love you Angelica, ich liebe dich Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort Angelica, I love you Angelica, ti amo Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort
'k Ben niet rijk maar men liefde is diep als de zee Men huisje is maar klein maar groot genoeg voor ons twee En in men armen zal het 's avonds warmer zijn Dan tussen kanten lakens van satijn
Angelica, I love you Angelica, je t'aime Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort Angelica, I love you Angelica, ik hou van jou Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort
Woman, I can remember a woman Warm were her kisses and tender was she Lying there in my arms Why, why did you deceive me so What devil inside made you go When I needed you most of all
Daughter of darkness Stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Daughter of darkness Daughter of darkness Please leave me alone forever Daughter of darkness gone is the love That we shared together
Heaven, we had our own kind of heaven Sharing together, the magic of love In a world of our own Then oh so suddenly you were gone The love I depended upon disappeared when you went away
Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Oh daughter of darkness Daughter of darkness leave me alone forever Daughter of darkness gone is the love That we shared together Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life You took my heart, you broke it apart Oh daughter of darkness
Daughter Composer(s): David Gates Originally performed by: Bread
Daughter - don't give your love to the first man you see Just bide your time so your heart will be free to find the one Girl you don't have to run
Daughter - don't think that love has gone out of style Just some folks every once in a while don't understand How this world was planned
Now I know you're wondering how You know when the real thing is comin' your way When you live for him and not you You'll know that it's truly comin' to stay
Daughter - I know it's hard to make yourself wait But when the right man comes it's never too late So don't you cry He'll be here by and by... and steal your heart away
