Girl With No Eyes Composer(s): David LaFlamme; Linda LaFlamme Performer(s): It's A Beautiful Day
There's a girl in my room
and her face on the wall with no eyes There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes Girl with no eyes who can she be? Girl with no eyes she's looking at me
There's a girl in my room and her face on the wall with no eyes If I make a sound she'll know that I'm stirring inside If I make a sound she'll know that I'm trying to hide
Girl with no eyes who can she be? Girl with no eyes she's looking at me Beautiful girl who does she see? Beautiful girl she seems to be staring
Doesn't eveybody know, everybody know love takes a lifetime And doesn't everbody know, everbody know love is the eyesight it's the eye sight of a lifetime

Girl with no eyes who can she be? Girl with no eyes she's looking at me Beautiful girl who does she see? Beautiful girl she seems to be staring
Doesn't eveybody know, everybody know love takes a lifetime And doesn't everbody know, everbody know love is the eyesight it's the eyesight of a lifetime
Take A Message To Mary Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1959 Covered by multiple other artists
These are the words of a frontier lad Who lost his love when he turned bad
Take a message to Mary but dont tell her where I am Take a message to Mary but dont say Im in a jam You can tell her I had to see the world or tell her that my ship set sail You can say she better not wait for me but dont tell her Im in jail Oh, dont tell her Im in jail
Take a message to Mary but dont tell her what Ive done Please dont mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day But please dont mention my lonely cell where Im gonna pine away Until my dying day
Take a message to Mary but dont tell her all you know My hearts aching for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her Im searching for gold You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold Oh, Lord, this cell is cold

Vous mes amis, tant de fois vous me dites Que d'ici peu je ne serai plus triste J'aimerais bien vous croire un jour Mais j'en doute avec raison Essayez de répondre à ma question
Qui saura, qui saura, qui saura Qui saura me faire oublier dites-moi Ma seule raison de vivre Essayez de me le dire Qui saura, qui saura, oui qui saura
Vous mes amis essayez de comprendre Une seule fille au monde peut me rendre Tout ce que j'ai perdu, je sais qu'elle ne reviendra pas Alors si vous pouvez dites-le moi
Qui saura, qui saura, qui saura Qui saura me faire vivre d'autres joies Je n'avais qu'elle sur terre Et sans elle ma vie entière Je sais bien que le bonheur n'existe pas
Vous mes amis le soleil vous inonde Vous dites que je sortirai de l'ombre J'aimerais bien vous croire oui Mais mon coeur y renonce Ma question reste toujours sans réponse
Qui saura, qui saura, qui saura Qui saura me faire oublier dites-moi Ma seule raison de vivre Essayez de me le dire Qui saura, qui saura, oui qui saura

Chorus:
I'm a girl watcher, I'm a girl watcher... Watchin' girls go by, hey, my my I'm a girl watcher, I'm a girl watcher... Here comes one now

Morningside Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Marcus Dagan; Dennis Pavao
Morningside, the old man died And no one cried, they simply turned away And when he died He left a table filled with nails and pride And with his hands he carved these words inside "For my children"
Morning light, morning bright I spent the night with dreams that make you weep Morning time Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine For I recall the words an old man signed "For my children"
And the legs were shaped with his hands And the table made with oaken wood And the children that sat around this table Touched it with their laughter, and that was good
Morningside, the old man died And no one cried, he surely died alone And truth is sad For not a child would claim the gift he had The words he carved became his epitaph...... "For my children"
Girl Talk French Title: Dansez Sur Moi - 1973 Composer(s): Neal Hefti; Bobby Troup First release by: Julie London & The Gerald Wilson Big Band - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists
They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbours' fight Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know Become essential things that women find so apropos But that's a dame They're all the same It's just a game They call it girl talk, girl talk They all me-ouw about the ups and downs of all their friends The who, the how, the why, they dish the dirt, it never ends The weaker sex, the speaker sex, we mortal males behold But though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold So baby stay, and gab away But hear me say That after girl talk Talk to me But that's a dame They're all the same It's just a game They call it girl talk, girl talk So baby stay, and gab away But hear me say That after girl talk Talk to me

Last night as I got home about a half past ten There was the woman I thought I knew In the arms of another man I kept my cool, I ain't no fool Let me tell you what happened then I packed some clothes and I walked out And I ain't going back again
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good lif All work and no play has just cost me a wife
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man I never really noticed how sweet you are to me It just so happens I'm free tonight Would you like to have dinner with me
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

Envoie La Lettre Maria ((Adapted from: Take A Letter Maria (R.B. Greaves) - 1969)) Composer(s): R.B. Greaves - Eddy Mitchell Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 1969
Hier J'ai vu mourir Un grand amour fait pour durer L'un de mes meilleurs amis A détruit son bonheur passé Il est parti de chez lui Et s'est rendu à son bureau Sa secrétaire se leva Mon ami lui dicta ces mots
Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà
C'est dur De vivre à deux Sans jamais connaître l'ennui L'habitude d'être heureux A lassé mon meilleur ami Il veut Changer de vie Et connaître d'autres aventures Quant à sa femme Il l'oublie Et provoque ainsi la rupture
Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà
Sa course Au bonheur N'est pourtant pas prêt de finir Il ferme Son coeur Et n'en finit plus de mentir Il est parti de chez lui Et s'est rendu à son bureau Sa secrétaire se leva Mon ami lui dicta ces mots
Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà
Girl On A Swing Composer(s): Robert Miranda Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers; The Happenings; Bob Miranda
I stand out of sight And watch as the light from the sun Shines through her hair
From yonder she came I don't know her name Still I love that girl on a swing
Girl on a swing, swing high Girl on a swing, swing low Take all the hate from the world that we're in Girl on a swing, swing high Girl on a swing, swing low And you can cast all your troubles to the wind
She comes with the light Then goes with the night My heart just yearns But then comes the dawn And she returns
Girl on a swing, swing high Girl on a swing, swing low Take all the hate from the world that we're in Girl on a swing, swing high Girl on a swing, swing low And you can cast all your troubles to the wind
Take A Giant Step ((Portuguese Version: Dê Um Passo À Frente (The Sunshines) - 1967)) Composer(s): Gerry Goffin - Carole King First release by: The Monkees - 1966 Covered by multiple other artists
Though you've played at love and lost And sorrow's turned your heart to frost I will melt your heart again Remember the feeling as a child When you woke up and morning smiled It's time you felt like you did then There's just no percentage in remembering the past It's time you learned to live again at last
Come with me, leave yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind
You stare at me in disbelief You say for you there's no relieve But I swear I'll prove you wrong Don't stay in your lonely room Just staring back in silent gloom That's not where you belong Come with me I'll take you where the tast of life is green And everyday holds wonders to be seen
Come with me, leave yesterday behind And take a giant step outside your mind
