Like You Do Composer(s): Gary Richrath Performer(s): REO Speedwagon
Well I've seen women who cross their legs Before they sit down to the table And I've seen women who look to the sky Screamin lord I believe in the bible And I've seen hookers dancin through times square With their heads held up so high But I've never seen a woman Who makes me feel Woah, like you do
Well I've seen couples holdin hands With that glazy look in their eyes And I've seen lovers rollin round in bed Screamin as if they're gonna die And I've seen lovers holdin hands And then laughin when their back is turned But I've never seen a woman Who makes me feel Woah, like you do
Well I've seen women who cross their legs Before they sit down to the table And I've seen women who look to the sky Screamin lord I believe in the bible And I've seen hookers dancin through times square With their heads held up so high But I've never seen a woman Who makes me feel No I've never seen a woman Who can make me feel Like you do
Like Two Strangers ((Spanish Version: Como Dos Extraños (by Pedro Aznar)) Composer(s): José María Contursí - Pedro Laurenz Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
I got frightened by loneliness and the great fear of dying away from you How I wanted to cry feeling the mockery of reality next to me
And my heart begged me to look for you and to get your love back My heart asked for it and so I sought you thinking you could be my salvation
And now that we're face to face we look, you see, just like two strangers I've finally learnt the lesson, how time changes everything!
Anguish of knowing that dreams and faith have already died Forgive me if you see me shed a tear memories have done me harm
The light of the sun grew pale as I heard you speak so coldly Our love was so different and it hurts to finally realize that everything, everything is over
What a big mistake, to see you again only to walk away with my heart torn to pieces The dead hours of yesterday are like a thousand ghosts as they return to laugh at me
By The Time This Night Is Over Composer(s): Michael Bolton; Andy Goldmark; Diane Warren Performer(s): Peabo Bryson and various other artists
Silence takes over Saying all we need to say Theres endless possibilites In the moves we can make Your kiss is giving every indication If this heart of mine is right
Chorus By the time this night is over The stars are gonna shine on two lovers in love And when the morning comes Its gonna find us together In a love thats just begun By the time this night is over Two hearts are gonna fly to the heavens above And well get closer and closer and closer By the time this night is over
Lets take a slow and easy ride Just lay back, and let love take us over Theres magic here with you and I And its gonna take us all the way Lets find some kind of a deeper conversation And darling if its right
Chorus
A night like this may never come again And you wont want this lie to end Oh baby we can have it all By the time this night is...over
Chorus
Oh, gonna wrap my lovin' arms around you Heaven's gonna smile, gonna smile on two lovers...
Como Dos Extraños ((English Version: Like Two Strangers (by Pedro Aznar)) Composer(s): José María Contursí - Pedro Laurenz Performer(s): Pedro Aznar and multiple other artists
Escuchar mientras leo Me acobardó la soledad y el miedo enorme de morir lejos de ti... ¡Qué ganas tuve de llorar sintiendo junto a mí la burla de la realidad! Y el corazón me suplicó que te buscara y que le diera tu querer... Me lo pedía el corazón y entonces te busqué creyéndote mi salvación...
Y ahora que estoy frente a ti parecemos, ya ves, dos extraños... Lección que por fin aprendí: ¡cómo cambian las cosas los años! Angustia de saber muertas ya la ilusión y la fe... Perdón si me ves lagrimear... ¡Los recuerdos me han hecho mal!
Palideció la luz del sol al escucharte fríamente conversar... Fue tan distinto nuestro amor y duele comprobar que todo, todo terminó ¡Qué gran error volverte a ver para llevarme destrozado el corazón! Son mil fantasmas, al volver burlándose de mí las horas de ese muerto ayer ...
By The Time I Get To Phoenix Composer(s): Jimmy Webb Performer(s): Glen Campbell and various other artists
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin' 'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin' Off the wall, that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin' She'll turn softly and call my name out loud And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her Tho' time and time I tried to tell her so She just didn't know I would really go
Like To Get To Know You Composer(s): Stuart Scharf First release by: Spanky & Our Gang - 1968
Yes, I would like to get to know you, if I could Like to get to know you Finally I found, searching all around Just was not the answer One I thought was true Looked a bit like you Figured I might chance her Hardly need to say She went on her way Said it was all over Well it's been some time And I guess that I'm just meant to be a rover
Now I can't promise that I'll spend a day with you Can't promise that I'll find a way with you Can't promise no I can't promise that I'll love you But I'd like to get to know you Yes I would if I could
By The Sleepy Lagoon Composer(s): Jack Lawrence; Eric Coates Performer(s): Harry James and various other artists
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon, and two on an island A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune, in some far off island The fireflies gleam reflects in the stream They sparkle and shimmer A star from on high falls out of the sky and slowly grows dimmer The leaves from the trees all dance in the breeze and float on the ripples Were deep in a spell as nightingales tell of roses and dew The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon and you
The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and you
Like Strangers Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1960
Like strangers That's what we are Darling how can lovers pull apart so far? Like strangers How can it be? Only days ago, we loved so tenderly I love you, truly I do And I hope deep in your heart you love me too Let's forget that we've been angry Let's be lovers like before And try not to be like strangers, anymore
Let's forget that we've been angry Let's be lovers like before And swear not to be like strangers, anymore
By The Sapphire Sea Composer(s): Harry B. Smith; Francis Wheeler; Ted Snyder
Somewhere over there by the Sapphire Sea the whispering palm trees are calling me to skies ever blue there alone with you is where I am longing to be The world we'll forget and your lips and eyes will show me the way to love's paradise to that land of summertime far away I'm going to take you someday
On that sunny island, the roses rare are blooming to give us a welcome there and we'll be alone, in a world our own forgetting all trouble and care We'll watch by the sea while the sails go by till the stars shine above in the evening sky you'll rest in my arms while the moon beams bright and dream through the midsummer night
Merrily we'll sail upon the Sapphire Sea to a little isle where happy we will be where moon beams bright kiss you each night beside the silver waves we'll be together While the stars are shining through the waving palms sweetheart, I will hold you in my loving arms and life will seem just like a dream, with you beside the Sapphire Sea
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!
