Like Someone In Love Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen - Johnny Burke First performance: Dinah Shore - 1944 Covered by multiple other artists
This change I feel puzzles me It's strange, a real mystery Maybe you see it If you do see it What on earth can it be?
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars Hearing guitars like someone in love Sometimes the things I do astound me Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings Bump into things like someone in love Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove And feeling like someone in love
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars Hearing guitars like someone in love Sometimes the things I do astound me Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings Bump into things like someone in love Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove And feeling like someone in love
By The River Of The Roses Composer(s): Joe Burke; Marty Symes Performer(s): George Morgan and various other artists
I met her by the river of the roses The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo I left her by the river of the roses With tear-dimmed eyes she whispered I'll miss you so
All the roses have faded since we've been apart But the one rose she gave me will always bloom within my heart And someday by the river of the roses I don't know when but we'll meet again I know
She's waiting by the river of the roses The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo
Like Sister And Brother Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway Performer(s): The Drifters
It's such a small town girl, news travels faster than a sigh Everybody wants to know about the next man's secret So everytime we meet upon the street, we've got to keep it....
Like sister and brother we'll wave to each other We don't want all the world to know, we are really lovers So we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I
You and me baby, you and me baby
Sometimes it's hard to hide pent up emotions we both feel I want to tell the world I love you, but I dare not say it.. Until I let you go there's only one way we can play it...
Like sister and brother, we'll wave to each other We don't want all the world to know, we are really lovers So we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I
Like sister and brother We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know
We are really lovers so we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I
Like sister and brother We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know ...

Like Roses ((French Version: Comme Des Roses (by Charles Aznavour)) Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Dreams, see them grow like roses So warm, so bright, they paint the night like roses My heart was numb and cold and you turned it to fire Every joy you inspire makes our garden of love grow so much higher
Dreams, like a flame inside us How they light up our eyes and they gide us And suddenly today youve grown into a woman So young, gay with magic songs to sing And your childhood is mine You broght another spring to me Now nothing more can shake me No wind, no rain, no storm could ever break me Im flowing in your arms, the gentle waves caress me Posseses me, softly bless me
Dreams, thanks to you theyve found us The sky was never quite so clear around us I want to lay may life before you Each moment of my life so gently at your feet Scattered like roses, like summer roses
Like I've Never Been Gone Composer(s): Paul Hampton - Camille Monte Performer(s): Billy Fury
Dont give your love to someone While Im away I want you to think about me Each night and day
And when I come on home After being gone so long I want it to be Like Ive never been gone
Ill feel your tender kisses Before I go to sleep Ill feel your arms around me Just promise me Youll keep all your love And your kisses Until I come home And then it will be Like Ive never been gone
I dont ask much of you Do what you want to do But dont make me be a fool for loving you
Ill feel your tender kisses Before I go to sleep Ill feel your arms around me Just promise me Youll keep all your love And your kisses Until I come home And then it will be Like Ive never been gone Can't you hear me Live Ive never been gone
By The Beautiful Sea Composer(s): Harold Atteridge; Harry Carroll Performer(s): Spike Jones and various other artists
Joe and Jane were always together Said Joe to Jane "I love summer weather So let's go to that beautiful sea Follow along Say you're with me!"
Anything that Joe would suggest to her Jane would always think it was best for her
So he'd get his Ford Holler "All Aboard! Gosh, I want to be"
By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea! You and me, you and me, oh how happy we'll be! When each wave comes a-rolling in We will duck or swim And we'll float and fool around the water Over and under, and then up for air Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care? I love to be beside your side, beside the sea Beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea!
By Strauss Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald and various other artists
Away with the music of Broadway Be off with your Irving Berlin Oh I give no quarter to Kern or Cole Porter And Gershwin keeps pounding on tin
How can I be civil when hearing this drivel It's only for nightclubbin' souses Oh give me the free 'n' easy waltz that is Vienneasy and Go tell the band If they want a hand The waltz must be Strauss's
Ya, ya ya, give me oom-pa-pah When I want a melody Lilting through the house Then I want a melody By Strauss It laughs, it sings, the world is in rhyme Swinging to three-quarter time
Let the Danube flow along And the Fledermauss Keep the wine and give me song By Strauss
By Jove, by Jing, by Strauss is the thing So I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus! Just give me your oom-pa-pah, by Strauss!
Let the Danube flow along And the Fledermauss Keep the wine and give me song By Strauss
By Jove, by Jing, by Strauss is the thing So I say to ha-cha-cha, heraus! Just give me your oom-pa-pah by Strauss!

By Myself Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Howard Dietz Originally performed by: Jack Buchanan Covered by various other artists
The party's over, the game is ended the dreams I dreamed went up in smoke They didn't pan out as I had intended I should know how to take a joke
I'll go my way by myself, this is the end of romance I'll go my way by myself, love is only a dance I'll try to apply myself and teach my heart to sing I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone I'll go my way by myself, here's how the comedy ends I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends Grey clouds in sky above have put a blot on my fun I'll try to fly high above for a place in the sun I'll face the unknown, I'll build a world of my own No one knows better than I, myself, I'm by myself alone
Like China Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): Phil Collins
My mom and daddy both say I must be crazy to be this infatuated But I know you know We got something special never felt before You get me going just looking at you And the feeling's not hard to recognise so Alright I'll come out in the open with it Will you walk out with me. 'Cause you're the first girl I've ever loved Tell me do you feel the same way Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest Cause I know who I am Your skin is smooth as silk and your eyes like stars You're just like a picture book standing there But I can't go on No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way that I do I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china 'Cause I know it's your first time Your mum and dad don't like me And they tell me every time I call around to see you I don't know why Cause I always straighten my tie and comb my hair I know your brother thinks that I'm a limp wrested wimp from the other side of town I know he's got me wrong Because I'm really not like that, I'll tell you why You're the first girl I've ever loved Tell me do you feel the same way Well I'll show you I'm not like all the rest 'Cause I know who I am I remember the very first time I held your hand And that was the last time you were so close to me But I can't go on No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I do I'll be so careful I'll hold you like china I'll promise not to hurt you I'll hold you like china You won't feel nothing, I'll hold you like china 'Cause I know it's your first time I know you know and now I want to, I want to tell everybody I know you know and now I want them all to see ...
By Love Possessed Composer(s): Phil Lampkin; J. Joseph Leahy; Carl Sigman Performer(s): Della Reese
By love possessed, by love possessed, by love possessed am I From the moment that we caressed, by love possessed was I From the moment we kissed all my plans to resist were replaced by a sigh Your lips were warm on mine and tender was your touch I tried so not to care but suddenly I care too much All my fears seem to come to rest, by love possessed was I When your arms held me tight could I question the night, could I ask myself why I only know I needed you so And whether the end be high or low In the valley or somewhere atop the crest By love possessed, by love possessed, by love possessed am I
Like Animals From the musical "Doctor Dolittle" Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse - Samantha Eggar Performer(s): Rex Harrison
I do not understand the human race
It has so little love for creatures with a different face Treating animals like people is no madness or disgrace I do not understand the human race
I wonder Why do we treat animals like animals? Animals treat us so very well The devoted ways they serve us And protect us when were nervous Oh, they really dont deserve us All we give them is hell!
Tell me how else man repays them Do we ever think to praise them? No we dont, and this dismays them You can tell
Were riddled with ingratitude We give no love or latitude In every way our attitude Is, well, like animals
No, no thats not what I mean
I mean Why do we treat animals like animals? How can people be so inhumane? Cows and chickens work to feed us Dogs and horses show they need us And though cats dont always heed us Their affection is plain
What do we do? We neglect them We do nothing to protect them We reject them, dont expect them To complain We ignore them or we beat them When were hungry then we eat them Its appalling how we treat them Its insane! Like animals!
We humiliate and murder and confine them We create their wretched status Then we use it to malign them
I mean Why should we say, treated like a dog Why should we say, working like a horse Why should we say, eating like a hog When what we mean is eating like a man? Dont we? Of course!
A man of ill repute is called a weasel or a rat A woman you dislike becomes a vixen or a cat A family that is blessed With healthy reproductive habits Occasions the remark, "Well you know them, they breed like rabbits!
Hes as stubborn as a mule! Hes as stupid as an ox! Hes as slimy as a snake! Hes as crafty as a fox!
Remarks like that really get my goat!
Why dont we say, noble as a frog? Or, why cant we say, wealthy as a hen? True, we say, devoted as a dog But what we should say is Chic as a giraffe, Pretty as a pig, eh? Thatll be the big day Wont it? But when? But when? But when?
When will we stop treating them like animals? Is the human race entirely mad? Women see a baby goatskin Or a lambskin or a stoatskin And to them its just a coatskin Oh, its terribly sad!
When you dress in suede or leather Or some fancy fur or feather Do you stop and wonder whether For a fad You have killed some beast or other And youre wearing someones brother Or perhaps its someones mother In which youre clad?
Like animals! Like animals! Like animals
Well, its true, we do not live in a zoo But man is an animal too So why cant you Like me Like animals? ... animals
When theres pink champagne by candlelight We will bring champagne by candlelight While the bubbles rise, a violin will improvise And well drink a toast by candlelight
Then well talk, but not for very long Then well dance, but not for very long For when I hold you, not a word will wake the night And youll understand, by candlelight
While the bubbles rise, a violin will improvise And well drink a toast by candlelight
Then well talk, but not for very long Then well dance, but not for very long For when I hold you, not a word will wake the night And youll understand, by candlelight
Like An Old Time Movie Composer(s): John Phillips Performer(s): Scott McKenzie
Every time I see you It's just because you're blue You don't really need me The way that I need you Don't come on so groovy You do better mean You're like an old time movie One that I already seen
Baby, yes I need your love But I'm not gonna get this low Don't you think that I can tell When you've no place else to go Could it be you misunderstood When you tried to read my mind Cause this time you will find I'm gonna let you go Every time I see you
You're like an old time movie Baby, yes I need your love But I'm not gonna get this low Don't you think that I can tell When you've got no place else to go Could it be you understood When you tried to read my mind Cause this time you will find I'm gonna let you go Every time I see you
By A Waterfall Composer(s): Irving Kahal; Sammy Fain Performer(s): Dick Powell and various other artists
I appreciate the simple things 'Cause I'm awf'lly fond of getting Love in a natural setting This is what I call the simple things Just a winding stream Where I can drift and dream And now I'm waiting for you
By a waterfall, I'm calling you-oo-oo-oo We can share it all beneath a ceiling of blue We'll spend a heavenly day Here where the whispering waters play There's a whippoorwill that's calling you-oo-oo-oo By a waterfall, he's dreaming too There's a magic melody Mother Nature sings to me Beside a waterfall with you
Like Always Composer(s): Larry Ramos - Bob Alcivar - Tony Ortega Performer(s): The Association
Stepping off a stone, while I'm walking alone Walking all alone, like always Got me a new car, it doesn't get me too far I'm all out of gas, like always
Got to pay the rent, but all my money's spent All my money's spent, like always I wonder where my pay went Missed another payment I'm all out of bread, like always
Girl, let the world have my money I don't care Girl, make my troubles seem funny and small In no time at all

Bwana Dort Composer(s): Claude Lemesle; Michel Fugain Performer(s): Michel Fugain
Mon frère éléphant s'endort tranquille Le grand prédateur blanc n'est pas là Ouwéyé Bwana L'animal cruel est dans la ville La savane est calme au vent qui va Iléyé Laba
Le chant de la nuit s'élève à peine Wowo Bwana La saison des pluies n'est plus lointaine Ne Reviens Pas
Venez frères et dansez Bwana dort Bwana dort
Ma sur antilope court son rêve Le grand prédateur blanc n'est pas là Ouwéyé Bwana Dans la plaine quand le jour se lève va couler un fleuve d'impalas Iléyé Laba
Le rhinocéros, blanc de poussière Wowo Bwana sait que le ciel porte des rivières Ne Reviens Pas
Venez frères et dansez Bwana dort Bwana dort Mon frère éléphant s'endort tranquille Le grand prédateur blanc n'est pas là Ouwéyé Bwana L'animal cruel est dans la ville La savane est calme au vent qui va Iléyé Laba
Les 4X4 ont filé comme des hyènes Wowo Bwana Laissant des carcasses par centaines Ne Reviens Pas
