Sono per me le foglie morte i sogni miei che hai preso tu
Morì così il nostro amore scese l'autunno nei nostri cuor
Foglie morte son le illusioni vissute allora insieme a te
E l'amore non è più che un sogno un sogno già spento per te
Foglie morte son le illusioni vissute allora insieme a te
E l'amore non è più che un sogno un sogno già spento per me
Don't Fish In My Sea

Performer(s): Ma Rainey
and multiple other artists
My daddy come home this mornin', drunk as he could be My daddy come home this mornin', drunk as he could be I know that he's done got bad on me
He used to stay out late, now he don't come home at all He used to stay out late, now he don't come home at all I know there's another mule been kicking in my stable
If you don't like my ocean, don't fish in my sea If you don't like my ocean, don't fish in my sea Stay out of my valley, let my mountain be
I ain't had no loving since God knows when I ain't had no loving since God knows when That's the reason I'm through with these no-good, trifling men
You'll never miss the sunshine till the rain begin to fall You'll never miss the sunshine till the rain begin to fall You'll never miss your ham till another mule be in your stall
Autumn In New York Composer(s): Vernon Duke First performance/First recording by: J. Harold Murray - 1934/Frank Sinatra - 1947 Covered by multiple other artists
Autumn in New York Why does it seem so exciting (inviting) Autumn in New York It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Shimmering clouds - glimmering crowds (glittering crowds and shimmering clouds) In canyons of steel They're making me feel - I'm home
It's autumn in New York That brings a (the) promise of new love Autumn in New York Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands (They) All sigh for exotic lands
(But) It's autumn in New York It's good to live it again
This autumn in New York Transforms the slums into Mayfair Autumn in New York You'll need no castles in Spain
Lovers that bless the dark On benches in Central Park
(But) It's autumn in New York It's good to live it again
Don't Fight It
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins - Stephann Perry - Dean Pitchford
Performer(s): Kenny Loggins
Live long enough you're bound to find Moonshine'll make a man go blind Never can tell what the brew will do But there's times you'll wind up feelin so fine
Some women seem to have a knack They'll turn you on and leave you flat Never can tell who's playin for keeps So tell me now what's holding you back I know your heart can take it
Don't fight it Don't fight it Don't fight it It'll do your heart so good Don't fight it Don't fight it Don't fight it It'll only do you good
Don't fight it'll do your heart so good do what mama do Do what daddy do When you gonna make up your mind You can run but love will find you Ready or not here it comes
Some people when they hear a groove Shake their heads cause they just can't approve Well I turn up the music till it's shakin the sky Is everybody ready to move
There's times you wanna shake yourself There's nights you wanna yell for help You can fly when you're standing still N there's nothing wrong with raising some hell Tonight we're gonna raise it
Don't fight it Don't fight it Don't fight it Don't fight it
Don't fight it Don't fight it Don't fight it'll do your heart so good Don't fight it Don't fight it Don't fight it Don't fight it
Autumn In Rome Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Alessandro Cicognini - Paul Weston Performer(s): Johnny Mathis and multiple other artists
Autumn in Rome My heart remembers fountains where children played Gardens where dreams were made
Autumn in Rome Memories like embers glow When I seem to hear walks beneath the pines that grace the golden sky Stopping now and then to share a lover's sigh, you and I
Let winter come All my Decembers I'll spend just dreaming of the way we fell in love One lovely Autumn in Rome
Walks beneath the pines that grace the golden sky Stopping now and then to share a lover's sigh, you and I Let winter come All my Decembers I spend just dreaming of the way we fell in love One lovely Autumn in Rome
Don't Fence Me In
Composer(s): Robert Fletcher - Cole Porter
First recording by: Edward Nell with the Foursome Quartet - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
Wildcat Kelly, lookin' mighty pale Was standin' by the Sherriff's side And when that Sherriff said, "I'm sending you to jail" Wildcat raised his head and cried
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open country that I love Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in
Wilcat Kelly, back in town again Was standin' by his Sweetheart's side And when his Sweetheart said, "Come on, let's settle down" Wildcat raised his head and cried
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open country that I love Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please Don't fence me in
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences Don't fence me in
Autumn Almanac Composer(s): Ray Davies Performer(s): The Kinks
From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar When the dawn begins to crack It's all part of my autumn almanac Breeze blows leaves of a musty-coloured yellow So I sweep them in my sack Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac
Friday evenings, people get together Hiding from the weather Tea and toasted, buttered currant buns Can't compensate for lack of sun Because the summer's all gone
La-la-la-la... Oh, my poor rheumatic back Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac La-la-la-la... Oh, my autumn almanac Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac
I like my football on a Saturday Roast beef on Sundays, all right I go to Blackpool for my holidays Sit in the open sunlight
This is my street, and I'm never gonna to leave it And I'm always gonna to stay here If I live to be ninety-nine 'Cause all the people I meet Seem to come from my street And I can't get away Because it's calling me, (come on home) Hear it calling me, (come on home)
La-la-la-la... Oh, my autumn Armagnac Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac La-la-la-la... Oh, my autumn almanac Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

Autumn Composer(s): P.F. Sloan - Steve Barri Performer(s): Gary Lewis & The Playboys
You could search the whole world over But you'd never find A girl so easy to fall in love with But so hard to get off your mind I knew the first day that I saw her I'd soon be living my life for her
Autumn, Autumn (Autumn) How your name has touched my heart Autumn (stay beside me), Autumn (close beside me) Say we'll never part
She's so completely different From other girls I have known She does the things you'd expect her to do But in a way that's all her own You don't know what she does to me When she's makin' love to me
Autumn, Autumn (Autumn) How your name has touched my heart Autumn (stay beside me), Autumn (close beside me) Say we'll never part
I thought I had life down pat Love 'em, leave 'em & be on my way (Love 'em, leave 'em) But girl, since you gave your love to me In your arms is where I'll stay
Autumn, Autumn (Autumn) How your name has touched my heart Autumn (stay beside me), Autumn (close beside me) Say we'll never part ...
Dont Fan The Flame Composer(s): Hal Dickinson; Jack D. Elliot Performer(s): Peggy Lee; Mel Tormé
Dont fan the flame, dont fan the flame Dont fan the flame of love
I must admit youve got a way about you But something here keeps warning me to doubt you So dont fan the flame, dont fan the flame Dont fan the flame of love
Youve got a kiss that makes me thrill all over But Ive a hunch youre nothing but a rover So dont fan the flame, dont fan the flame Dont fan the flame of love It seems I never play upon the side thats winning Cause Lady Luck never was my friend Each time I think its gonna be the sweet beginning It turns out to be the bitter end
I should forget how much I seem to need you Because I know where love like this can lead you So dont fan the flame, dont fan the flame Dont fan the flame of love
Theres not another one who can hold a candle Youre dynamite, anyone can see But dynamite at times gets mighty hard to handle And thats not the kind of game for me
I should forget how much I seem to need you Because I know where love like this can lead you So dont fan the flame, dont fan the flame Dont fan the flame of love
Dont fan the flame, dont fan the flame Dont fan the flame, dont fan the flame Dont fan the flame of love
So dont fan the flame, dont fan the flame Dont fan the flame of love
Autotango Del Cantautor Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Qué me dices cantautor de las narices qué me cantas con ese aire funeral Si estás triste que te cuenten algún chiste si estás sólo púdrete en tu soledad Vete al cine cómprate unos calcetines date al ligue pero deja de llorar o es que acaso yo te canto mis fracasos sólo vengo a echarme un trago y aún te tengo que aguantar
Qué tortura soportar tu voz de cura moralista y un pelito paternal Muy aguda hay que ver la mala uva de esa letra que te acabas de marcar Qué oportuna inmunizas cual vacuna y aún no sabes un par de cositas más que me duermo que me aburres con tus versos que me pones muy enfermo por favor no sigas más
Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer
Composer(s): Kim Carnes - Dave Ellingson
Performer(s): Kenny Roger; Kim Carnes
Just look at you sitting there You never looked better than tonight And it'd be so easy to tell you I'd stay Like I've done so many times I was so sure this would be the night You'd close the door And wanna stay with me And it'd be so easy To tell you I'd wait Like I've done so many times
Don't fall in love with a dreamer Because he'll always take you in Just when you think You've really changed him He'll leave you again Don't fall in love with a dreamer Because he'll break you every time
So put out the light and just hold on Before we say goodbye Now it's morning And the phone rings and ya say You gotta get your things together You just gotta leave Before you change your mind And you know What I was thinking I'd turn around If you'd just ask me one more time Don't fall in love with a dreamer Because he'll always take you in Just when you think You've really changed him He'll leave you again Don't fall in love with a dreamer Because he'll break you every time So put out the light and just hold on Before we say goodbye

Colchiques dans les près Fleurissent, fleurissent Colchiques dans les près C'est la fin de l'été La feuille d'automne Emportée par le vent En rondes monotones Tombe en tourbillonnant

Composer(s): Bob Dylan
First release by: Bob Dylan - 1983
Just a minute 'fore you leave girl Just a minute 'fore you touch the door What is it that you're trying to achieve girl Do you think we can talk about it some more You know the streets are filled with vipers Who've lost all ray of hope You know it ain't even safe no more In the palace of the Pope
