Let Me Sing And I'm Happy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Al Jolson 
and multiple other artists



What care I who makes the laws of a nation
Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
What care I who care for the world's affairs
As long as I can sing its popular songs

Let me sing a funny song
With crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing
I'm happy, so happy

Let me sing a sad refrain
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
And if my song can start you crying
I'm happy

Let me croon a low down blues
To lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy

Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
I'm happy, I'm happy

I don't want a seat on any big council
A ruler's power is not what I'm seeking for
Only let me feel that my songs appeal has reached your hearts
I'll not ask for anything more

Let me sing a funny song
With crazy words that roll along
And if my song can start you laughing
I'm happy, so happy

Let me sing a sad refrain
Of broken hearts that loved in vain
And if my song can start you crying
I'm happy

Let me croon a low down blues
To lift you out of your seat
If my song can reach your shoes
And start you tapping your feet, I'm happy

Let me sing of Dixie's charms
Cotton fields and mammy's arms
And if my song can make you homesick
I'm happy, I'm happy

Breezin' Along With The Breeze
Composer(s): Haven Gillespie; Seymour Simons; Richard Whiting
Originally performed by: Josephine Baker



I have been a rover since I was a child
No one to love or care for me
Knocked around all over, kinda grew up wild 
My home's wherever I may be
Ain't no someone yearnin', wonderin' where I be
I'm gone, but no one's missin' me
Ain't no light a-burnin' ev'ry night for me
I'm like a bird that's flyin' free

I'm just breezin' along with the breeze
Trailin' the rails, roamin' the seas

Like the birdies that sing in the trees
Pleasin' to live, livin' to please

The sky is the only roof I have over my head
And when I'm weary, Mother Nature makes my bed

I'm just goin' along as I please
Breezin' along with the breeze

Let Me Off Uptown
Composer(s): Redd Evans - Earl Bostic
Performer(s): Anita O'Day & Roy Eldridge (with Gene Krupa & his Orch.)
and multiple other artists



Anita: Hey Joe
Roy: What d'ya mean Joe, My name's Roy
Anita: Well come here Roy and get groovy
You bin uptown?
Roy: No I ain't bin uptown but I've bin around
Anita: You mean to say you ain't bin uptown?
Roy: no I ain't bin uptown, what's uptown?

Anita: If it's pleasure you're about
And you feel like steppin' out
All you've got to shout is
Let me off uptown

If it's rhythm that you feel
Then it's nothing to conceal
Oh, you've got to spiel it
Let me off uptown

Rib joints, juke joints, hep joints
Where could a fella go to top it

If you want to pitch a ball
And you can't afford a hall
All you've got to call is
Let me off uptown

Roy: Anita, oh Anita, say I feel somethin'
Anita: Whatcha feel Roy? The heat?
Roy: No it must be that uptown rhythm
I feel like blowin'
Anita: Well blow Roy, blow

Performer(s): The Corrs



Go on, go on
Leave me breathless

Come on

The day light's fading slowly
The time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak

I cannot lie
From you I cannot hide
And I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it, can't fight it

So go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't denie this 
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on go on .. Yeah he
Come on

Heyeah

And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need 
Somehow it's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
I never want to wake up
Don't lose it, don't leave me

So go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't denie this 
Loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss
Go on go on .. Yeah he
Come on

And I can't lie..  from you I cannot hide
And I've lost my will to try
Can't hide it, can't fight it

So go on go on
Come on 
Leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me
Until I can't deny this loving feeling
Make me long for your kiss

Go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on, go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on, Go on
Come on
Leave me breathless
Go on ... Go on

Let Me Love You Once Before You Go
Composer(s): Steve Dorff - Molly Ann Leiken
Performer(s): Dusty Springfield
and multiple other artists



It's like looking in the window of a fine boutique
Knowing there is nothing I could ever buy
Still I want your love so much that I could die
But I just can't lead a double life
Being one man's lover, one man's wife

But you can start a fire raging just by touching me
Even though I know we're not supposed to touch
Oh, I never wanted anyone so much
How I wish that I had found you first
Don't you see my heart's about to burst?

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me, so don't keep saying 'no'
Let me love you once, and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Let me lock the door and open all my love to you
All the love I've longed to give you since we met
It's the only chance I'm ever gonna get
And I just can't let it disappear
Oh my darling, please come over here

Let me love you once before you go
Your eyes keep saying 'yes' to me so don't keep saying 'no'
Let me love you once, and then you'll see
No one's ever gonna love you more than me

No one's ever gonna love you more than me

Breathe 
Composer(s): David Gilmour; Roger Waters; Ricky "Reagan" Wright
Originally performed by: Pink Floyd
Covered by various other artists



Breathe, breathe in the air 
Don't be afraid to care 
Leave but don't leave me 
Look around and chose your own ground 
For long you live and high you fly 
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry 
And all you touch and all you see 
Is all your life will ever be 

Run, rabbit run 
Dig that hole, forget the sun 
And when at last the work is done 
Don't sit down it's time to start another one 
For long you live and high you fly 
But only if you ride the tide 
And balanced on the biggest wave 
You race toward an early grave

First release by: Joan Weber - 1954
Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, let me go
Let me go
Let me go, lover
Let me be
Set me free
From your spell

You made me weep
Cut me deep
I can't sleep, lover
I was cursed 
From the first
Day I fell

You don't want me
But you want me
To go on wanting you
Now I pray that
You will say that
We're through

Please turn me loose
What's the use?
Let me go, lover
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go

You made me weep
Cut me deep
I can't sleep, lover
I was cursed 
From the first
Day I fell

You don't want me
But you want me
To go on wanting you
Now I pray that
You will say that
We're through

Please turn me loose
What's the use?
Let me go, lover
Let me go
Let me go

Breath Of Your Life
Composer(s): Greg Fitzgerald; Daryl Hall; Tom Nichols
Performer(s): Daryl Hall & John Oates



I can read between the lonely lines
Every single word brings a tear to my eye
Tell me how did we get here
And where did heaven go

I remember us as strong as stone
Now I see the cracks breaking up a home
And a future filled with fear
But I won’t surrender no
We can make it through the fire
I won’t lay it down and die
I will be the air, if you are out of breath
And out of time

Baby don’t it feel right
Don’t you know why
Won’t you say what it is
Why you just can’t see what’s going on
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life

See the way the wind blows
No matter how it goes
I’m the air that you need
If you’re out of breath and out of time
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life
Baby, no no we ain’t out of time

I don’t want to go around again
Passionate lover turning into friend
I don’t want to be back there
Let that heaven go
Explain the things you really need
I can make it happen if you talk to me

Though I cannot read your mind
I can get into your soul
We Could Make it Through the Fire
I won’t lie down and die
I will be the air if you are out of breath and out of time

Baby don’t it feel right
Don’t you know why
Won’t you say what it is
Why you just can’t see what’s going on
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life

See the way the wind blows
No matter how it goes
I’m the air that you need
If you’re out of breath and out of time
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life
Baby, no no we ain’t out of time

Are you feeling like you’re drowning
Are you choking?
And you just don’t know what to do
Well I can help you make it through
Am I the one to save it?

I really think that we could do this
get through this
Don’t doubt it, think about it
Be sure you can depend on me
Let me be the air that you breathe

Baby don’t it feel right
Don’t you know why
Won’t you say what it is
Why you just can’t see what’s going on
I’ll be the Breath of Your Life

Let Me Go, Love
Composer(s): B.J. Cook Foster - Michael McDonald
Performer(s): Nicolette Larson; Michael McDonald



You got that look in your eyes
Something deep inside
And time will show
What you don't want to know
It's haunting you 
Guess it's time to sit down with the truth 
And tho' it comes as no surprise

Some things are not better left unsaid
Let them out instead
It's haunting you
Guess it's time to sit down with the truth 
Got to get acquainted with the truth
Oh and it was here 
This place that we hide away in 
If it's gone now
It's best that a new place begin
We shared in the fantasy of 
Knowing this love in our lives
Is it ever what it seems to be 
Oh and if it's over
Let me go, love
Let me go, love

Breakthru
Composer(s): Queen
Performer(s): Queen; Martin Yates



When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthru . . . Now!

I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something, you're touchin' me
I'm under your thumb, under you're spell, can't you see
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru - oh yeah

Breakthru, these barriers of pain
Breakthru, to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow
I have to make this final breakthru
Now I

Your smile
Speaks books to me
I break up
With each and every one of your looks at me
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me
Honey you're sparking something, this fire in me
I'm outta control, I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
Breakthru, breakthru

He needs me more than you do
And I know that he loves me
You never have

To you I am only a play thing
Just a toy that you found

If you set me free

Let me go to him
I can't live without his love
So I'm beggin' you to let me go to him
Let me go to him

Face the truth
You just don't care
When I try to work things out
You're never there

And lately we're never together
Half the time you don't call
That's no life at all

Let me go to him
Let me be the woman I can be
If you set me free

Let me go to him
I can't live without his love
So I'm beggin' you to let me go to him
Let me go to him

Breaking Us In Two
Composer(s): Joe Jackson
Originally performed by: Joe Jackson
Covered by: Whitney McCray; Mandy Moore



Don't you feel like trying something new
Don't you feel like breaking out or breaking us in two
You don't do the things that I do
You want to do the things I can't do
Always something breaking us in two

You and I could never live alone
But don't you feel like breaking out
Just one day on your own
Why does what I'm saying hurt you
I didn't say that we were through
Always something breaking us in two

They say two hearts should beat as one for us
We'll fight it out to see it through
I say that you won't bee too much fun for us
Though it's oh so nice to get advice it's oh so hard to do

Could we be much closer if we tried
We could stay at home and stare into each other's eyes
Maybe we could last an hour
Maybe then we'd see right through
Always something breaking us in two

Breaking Up My Heart
Composer(s): Bobby Heatlie
Performer(s): Shakin' Stevens



Ev'rything you say
ev'rything you do

Always seems to put me down - put me down
Is there something wrong
do I still belong?
Is it just a run-around? Run-around?
Don't say he's not the reason why

'Cos when I lie awake
it's his name I hear you cry

Thought he'd left your mind
And that only time stood between your fantasy - fantasy
Guess I always knew he'd be haunting you

Stealing what you had from me - had for me
I can't stand here and let it die
Ev'ry step you take
I'll be there right by your side

'Cos it's breaking up my heart
feel like dying

Breaking up my heart
feel like crying
Tell him where to go
show the man the door

'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking up my heart

I won't let you go
baby
never know

Can't you get it through your head? Through your head?
I won't set you free
you belong to me

What he had for you is dead - love is dead
Love burns fire that never cools

Don't you know that love hurts people who break the rules?
'Cos it's breaking up my heart
feel like dying

I can't stand here and let it die
Ev'ry step you take
I'll be there right by your side
I won't let you go
oh
you never know

Breaking up my heart
feel like dying

Breaking up my heart
feel like crying
Tell him where to go
show the man the door

'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking
breaking

Breaking up my heart
breaking up my heart

Tell him where to go
show the man the door

'Cos ev'rything you do is breaking
breaking

Breaking up my heart
feel like dying

Breaking up my heart
feel like crying

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do 
French Title: Moi Je Pense Encore À Toi

Originally performed by: Neil Sedaka
Covered by various other artists



Don't take your love away from me
Don't you leave my heart in misery
If you go then I'll be blue
'Cause breaking up his hard to do

Remember when you held me tight
And you kissed me all through the night
Think of all that we've been through 
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

They say that breaking up is hard to do
Now I know, I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breaking up I wish that we were making up again

I beg of you, don't say goodbye
Can't we give our love another try
Come on baby, let's start a new
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
