Look To The Rainbow Composer(s): Burton Lane - E.Y. Harburg First performance: Ella Logan - 1947 Covered by multiple other artists
On the day I was born said my father, said he I've an elegant legacy waiting for ye Tis a rhyme for your lips and a song for your heart To sing whenever the world falls apart
Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow it over the hill and stream Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow the fellow who follows a dream Follow the fellow, follow the fellow Follow the fellow who follows a dream
'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child Oh, the lure of that song Kept her feet running wild For you never grow old and you never stand still With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill
So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free To the east with the lark Tow the west with the sea And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes
All Kinds Of Everything Composer(s): Derry Lindsay; Jackie Ward Smith First performance by: Dana - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Snowdrops and daffodils Butterflies and bees Sailboats and fishermen Things of the sea Wishing wells, wedding bells Early morning dew All kinds of everything Reminds me of you
Seagulls and aeroplanes Things of the sky Wind that go howling Breezes that sigh City sights, neon lights Grey skies or blue All kinds of everything Reminds me of you
Summer time, winter time Spring and autumn too Monday, tuesday, everyday I think of you
Dances, romances Things of the night Sunshine and holidays Postcards to write Parting trees, autumn leaves A snowflake or two All kinds of everything Reminds me of you
Summer time, winter time Spring and autumn too Seasons will never change The way that I love you
Dances, romances Things of the night Sunshine and holidays Postcards to write Parting trees, autumn leaves A snowflake or two All kinds of everything Reminds me of you
Look Through My Window Composer(s): John Phillips Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas
And the rain beats on my roof And it does not ask for proof
Its not that lovers are unkind She always said thered come a time When one would leave and one stay behind
We both knew people sometimes change And lovers sometimes rearrange And nothing's quite as sure as change
And the rain beats on the roof
Look through my window to the street below See the people hurrying by With someone to meet, some place to go And I know I should let go
She always said "Im not like you" "When love is dead for me its through" "And I will find and love somebody new"
Look through my window, yeah, to the street below See the people hurrying by With someone to meet, some place to go And I know I should let go
I must admit she knew her mind And it will not take her long to find Another place where the sun will shine
And the rain beats on my roof If I still require proof Well the rain beats on my roof (She's gone) If I still require proof (Shes gone) Well the rain beats on my roof (Look through my window) If I still require proof (All the people) Well the rain beats on my roof (I love her) If I still require proof (She's gone)
Six O'clock Composer(s): John Sebastian First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1967 Covered by multiple other artists
There's something special 'bout six o'clock In the morning when it's still too early to knock
And the dusky light shines down on the block And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock
Six o'clock, six o'clock
A few hours ago she was standing here Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as the tights disappeared And I could feel I could say what I want That I could nudge her and call her my confidante But now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front At six o'clock, six o'clock
I went home and found that time to sleep was rare Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not to care I got up and got scufflin' around But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound At six o'clock, six o'clock
If I go back where we parted Could I ever feel like that again Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow But what can I do 'til then
Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn Yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all And I wish my head had been working right We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night And now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight Six o'clock, six o'clock
Now I'm back alone Yes, now I'm back alone I'm back alone
Look Through Any Window ((French Version: Regardez Par Des Fenêtres (by The Hollies)) Composer(s): Graham Goldman - Charles Silverman First release by: The Hollies - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
Look through any window yeah, what do you see? Smilin' faces all around rushin' through the busy town
(Where do they go) movin' on their way Walkin' down the highways and the by-ways (Where do they go) movin' on their way People with their shy ways and their sly ways
Oh you can see the little children all around Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you
Look through any window yeah, any time of day See the drivers on the roads pullin' down their heavy loads
(Where do they go) movin' on their way Drivin' down highways and the by-ways (Where do they go) movin' on their way Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways
Oh you can see the little children all around Oh you can see the little ladies in their gowns when you
Look through any window yeah, what do you see? Smiling faces all around rushin' through the busy town
(Where do they go) Movin' on their way Movin' on their way Movin' on their way
Look Over Your Shoulder Composer(s): Alan Price Performer(s): Alan Price
When there's a bluebird singing by your window pane And the sun shines bright all day through Don't forget boy Look over your shoulder 'Cause there's always someone coming after you (la la la la)
When everything in life seems just as it should be At last success seems just around the door Don't forget boy Look over your shoulder 'Cause things don't stay the same forever more (la la la la)
Hope springs eternal in a young man's breast And he dreams of a better life ahead Without that dream you are nothing, nothing, nothing You have to find out for yourself that dream is dead (la la la la)
Six More Miles (To The Graveyard) Composer(s): Hank Williams First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1947/1948 Covered by multiple other artists
Oh, the rain is slowly fallin' And my heart is so sore Six more miles and leave my darlin' Never on this earth to meet no more
Six more miles to the graveyard Six more miles long and sad Six more miles and leave my darlin' Leave the best friend I ever had
Oh, I hear the train a-comin' Bringin' my darlin' back home Six more miles to the graveyard And I'll be left here all alone
Six more miles to the graveyard Six more miles long and sad Six more miles and leave my darlin' Leave the best friend I ever had
Six more miles to the graveyard Six more miles long and sad Six more miles and leave my darlin' Leave the best friend I ever had
Look Out, There's A Monster Coming Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band
Lonely, unmarried, looking for love Life was passing me by So I sent off my photo, hobbies and age Magazine marriage I tried They say for centuries lovely Japanese girls Have been trained in the art of pleasing men Be lonely no more, open destiny's door For one dollar they arrange a meeting
My image was wrong, I didn't like me So I changed my personality I bought a delux Merseybeat wig But it was a size too big What confidence in my new built-up shoes So smart for winter or summer Undetectable in normal everyday use
Look out there's a monster coming!
Bye-bye binoculars and macintosh Everything is just great I take elocution, learn to speak posh But still I can't find a mate Be popular, learn to play the guitar In seven days you could be strumming Be sociable, learn kissing technique
Look out there's a monster coming!
Carnaby clothes, I reshaped my nose Plastic surgery's best To cut down my weight off comes my left leg I pass a swimming costume test Are my sideboards too long Don't my aftershave pong? I know my new nose ain't runnin' What's wrong with my tie? Am I getting too high?
Look out there's a monster coming!
Disfiguring and ugly, my facial hair I had removed electrically I rejuvenated my energy cells And regained my virility (grunt grunt) (He put my hand on my heart?) (I am changing the part?) He had a machine for a mummy Please be gentle with me I come to pieces literally
Look out there's a monster coming! Look out there's a monster coming! Look out there's a monster coming! ...
Marlène Composer(s): Henri Djian; Eddy Barclay; J. Walter First performance by: Dominique Dussault - 1970
Une voix grave et nostalgique Dans mon cur chante une musique, musique anachronique Avec elle je reviens toujours À l'époque du soixante dix-huit tours, rayé et oublié
C'était toi qui charmais, Marlène Qui troublais, Marlène, c'était toi Tu n'étais pas pour moi la reine des écrans, Marlène Mais l'Ange Bleu qu'on n'oubliera jamais
De longs doigts, un fume-cigarette Un regard qui n'en finissait pas, sait pas sait pas, ses bas Ses bas noirs en Cinérama Une silhouette en sexyrama, Marlène, oui, c'est bien toi
Tu souris et je suis Marlène Les gens crient: "Marlène!" - c'est pour moi Je rêve d'un escalier de scène comme toi, Marlène Que je descends langoureusement
Un mètre cinquante avec mes talons Des cheveux frisés comme un mouton, oh quelle désillusion Je voulais tant lui ressembler Vous ensorceler, vous 'Marléniser' L'Ange Bleu pour moi c'est raté
Sie sagte: "Die Liebe, das ist mein Leben" "Nur auf die bin ich eingestellt" Non, non, je ne peux pas You take me, take me in the sky You make me crazy in my mind Jamais je ne pourrai I want you, I love you, darling I've got you Je ne pourrai jamais, jamais chanter comme ça

Six Man Band
Composer(s): Terry Kirkman
Performer(s): The Association
Well, I'm a day at a time
I'm a day at a time
Well, I'm a seeker and knower
In a six man mind
'Cause I'm a traveling man
Yes, I'm a traveling man
Well, I'm a comer and a goer
In a six man band
Well, I'm a California man, my instrument in hand
I'm electrified
On a fast flying trip, dirty laundry in my grip
Mostly drip-dry
We got the seventeen jewels that dictate the rules
And the time to fly, as we're passing by
We just got the time to say hello, and then a fast good-bye
I'm a traveling man
Yes, I'm a traveling man
Well, I'm a comer and a goer in a six man band

The look of love is in your eyes A look your smile can't disguise The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you Don't ever go You've got the
Look of love, it's on your face A look that time can't erase Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you Don't ever go Don't ever go
Gwendolyne Composer(s): Julio Iglesias First performance by: Julio Iglesias - 1970 Covered by multiple other artists
Tan dentro de mí conservo el calor que me haces sentir... Conservo tu amor tan dentro de mí que aún puedo vivir muriendo de amor muriendo de ti Como buscan las olas la orilla del mar como busca un marino su puerto y su hogar yo he buscado en mi alma queriéndote hallar y tan sólo encontré mi soledad Y a pesar que estás lejos tan lejos de mí... A pesar de otros besos quizás, Gwendolyne aún recuerdes el tiempo de aquel nuestro amor... Aún te acuerdes de mí Y aún recuerdo aquel ayer cuando estabas junto a mí Tú me hablabas del amor Yo aún podía sonreír... Aún recuerdo aquel amor... Y ahora te alejas de mí Le he pedido al silencio que me hable de ti he vagado en la noche queriéndote oír y al murmullo del viento le he oído decir tu nombre: Gwendolyne

Look Of Love Composer(s): Ellie Greenwich - Jeff Barry Performer(s): Lesley Gore
Look at the way he looks at her Look at the way he smiles I remember when he was mine I remember when things were fine Oh, look at the way he looks at her now Isn't that the look of love?
Look at the way he holds her hand Look at the way they dance I remember when he loved me I remember how it used to be But look at the way he smiles at her now Isn't that the look of love?
Here I am, all by myself Watching him with someone else And he doesn't even know I'm here Wish I could hold back my tears, 'cause
Look at the way he's kissing her Look at him hold her tight I remember his warm embrace And the tender look on his face Yes, look at the way he looks at her now Isn't that the look of love?

Je Suis Tombé Du Ciel Composer(s): Yves de Vriendt First performance by: David-Alexandre Winter - 1970
Je vivais bien là-haut dans mes nuages J'avais le cur et la tête en voyage Je me croyais tranquille pour longtemps Pour longtemps
Chaque fois que je regardais la terre Je la trouvais bien ronde et bien sévère Je n'avais pas envie de voir les gens Mais tout à coup, un jour, en te voyant
Je suis tombé du ciel pour me pencher sur toi En arrivant du ciel, je suis tombé sur toi Il m'est venu des ailes en m'approchant de toi Je suis tombé du ciel et je suis fou de joie
Je n'irai plus jamais dans les nuages Tu es ma ville et tu es mon village J'ai découvert que le seul paradis C'est ici
Dieu qu'on s'ennuie quand on plane là-haut À vivre seul comme un triste pierrot Quand il suffit de plonger dans tes yeux Pour naviguer au milieu du ciel bleu
Je suis tombé du ciel pour me pencher sur toi En arrivant du ciel, je suis tombé sur toi Il m'est venu des ailes en m'approchant de toi Je suis tombé du ciel et je suis fou de joie
La la la la la la... la la la la la la... La la la la la la... et je suis fou de joie
Look Into The Sun Composer(s): Ian Anderson - Martin Barre Performer(s): Jethro Tull
Took a sad song of one sweet evening I smiled and quickly turned away It's not easy singing sad songs but still the easiest way I have to say So when you look into the sun and see the things we haven't done oh was it better then to run than to spend the summer crying Now summer cannot come anyway
I had waited for time to change her The only change that came was over me She pretended not to want love I hope she was only fooling me So when you look into the sun look for the pleasures nearly won Or was it better then to run than to spend the summer singing And summer could have come in a day
So if you hear my sad song singing remember who and what you nearly had It's not easy singing sad songs when you can sing the song to make me glad So when you look into the sun and see the words you could have sung It's not too late, only begun we can still make summer Yes, summer always comes anyway
So when you look into the sun and see the words you could have sung It's not too late, only begun Look into the sun
Six Jours Sur La Route (Adapted from: Six Days On The Road - 1964) Composer(s): Earl Green; Carl Montgomery; Yves Dessca Performer(s): Claude François - 1975
Je sors de ma loge et je cours vers ma voiture En passant j'embrasse une fille et je fais quelques signatures Pardon si je suis pressé, c'est que je viens de passer Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
De ville en ville j'ai couru comme un fou me reposant à peine Mais que c'est bon d'être sur scène et de chanter pour ceux qui vous aiment Bientôt je repartirai, mais vraiment je n'en peux plus après Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
En roulant dans la nuit des choses fourmillent au fond de ma tête Il me faut des chansons nouvelles et un nouveau pas pour les Claudettes Encore ce sacré métier, suffit je lui ai donné Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
Soudain je pense à cette fille assise au premier rang J'en étais un peu amoureux à la fin de mon tour de chant J'aurais aimé la revoir, mais je lui ai dit bonsoir Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
Je suis heureux de retrouver tout à l'heure la fille de mon cur Et soudain je me sens l'envie d'appuyer sur l'accélérateur Je rève de l'embrasser, sans elle c'est long de passer Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir
Six jours sur la route, et moi je rentre à la maison ce soir Oui, ce soir
