    Teardrops Will Fall
    Composer(s): Dickey Doo - Marion Smith
    First release by: Dickey Doo & The Don'ts - 1958
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I read your letter and tears filled my eyes
    All of your promises fading, was nothing but lies
    So I turned your photograph over, face to the wall
    And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
    Teardrops will fall

    Teardrops will fall tonight
    Tears I can't hide
    Tears that I tried to keep
    Deep down inside
    Tears fall, a love that's gone
    Beyond recall
    And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
    Teardrops will fall

    I'm gonna pray tonight, baby
    Hoping you will hear
    Maybe you'll right the wrong, now
    And dry each tear
    I'll sit alone tonight hoping you will call
    And when I dim the lights in my room tonight
    Teardrops will fall

    My Father's Eyes
    Composer(s): Livingston Taylor
    Performer(s): Livingston Taylor



    My father stands before me
    In a place that's his alone
    I'm guided to the future
    I have the world to own
    I stand up and I'm counted
    A thousand miles from home
    Why can I see forever
    In my father's eyes?

    My father sits before me
    His hands upon his chin
    His fingers touch his lips
    Until my story ends.
    Patiently we get it straight
    The whos, the whens, the whys...
    Truth ever protected
    In my father's eyes

    My father's eyes...
    My father's hands...
    Oh, Daddy quickly pick me up
    When will I be a man?
    When will I live long enough
    To make somebody fly?
    When will the mirror show me
    My father's eyes?

    My father's resting in a chair
    In a long, cold Winter sun
    He falls into a restless sleep
    Still itching for the run
    The arms are thin
    And the movement slow
    But there'll be one more try
    Strength has another measure
    In my father's eyes

    My father's eyes
    My father's hands
    Oh, Daddy quickly pick me up
    When will I be a man?
    When will I live long enough
    To make somebody fly?
    When will the mirror show me
    My father's eyes?

    Good Times Bad Times
    Composer(s): John Bonham; John Paul Jones; Jimmy Page
    Performer(s): Led Zeppelin;
    and various other artists



    In the days of my youth
    I was told what it was to be a man
    Now I've reached the age
    I've tried to do all those things the best I can
    No matter how I try
    I find my way to do the same old jam

    Good Times, Bad Times
    You know I had my share
    When my woman left home
    With a brown eyed man
    Well, I still don't seem to care

    Sixteen: I fell in love
    With a girl as sweet as could be
    Only took a couple of days
    Till she was rid of me
    She swore that she would be all mine
    And love me till the end
    When I whispered in her ear
    I lost another friend

    Good Times, Bad Times
    You know I had my share
    When my woman left home
    With a brown eyed man
    Well, I still don't seem to care

    I know what it means to be alone
    I sure do wish I was at home
    I don't care what the neighbors say
    I'm gonna love you each and every day
    You can feel the beat within my hear.
    Realize, sweet babe, we aint't ever gonna part

    My Father's Eyes
    Composer(s): Eric Clapton

    Phil Driscoll; Steve Fishell



    Sailing down behind the sun
    Waiting for my prince to come
    Praying for the healing rain
    To restore my soul again

    Just a toerag on the run
    How did I get here?
    What have I done?
    When will all my hopes arise?
    How will I know him?
    When I look in my father's eyes
    My father's eyes
    When I look in my father's eyes
    My father's eyes

    Then the light begins to shine
    And I hear those ancient lullabies
    And as I watch this seedling grow
    Feel my heart start to overflow

    Where do I find the words to say?
    How do I teach him?
    What do we play?
    Bit by bit, I've realized
    That's when I need them
    That's when I need my father's eyes
    My father's eyes
    That's when I need my father's eyes
    My father's eyes

    Then the jagged edge appears
    Through the distant clouds of tears
    I'm like a bridge that was washed away
    My foundations were made of clay

    As my soul slides down to die
    How could I lose him?
    What did I try?
    Bit by bit, I've realized
    That he was here with me
    I looked into my father's eyes
    My father's eyes
    I looked into my father's eyes
    My father's eyes

    My father's eyes
    My father's eyes
    I looked into my father's eyes
    My father's eyes

    Teardrops
    Composer(s): George Harrison
    Performer(s): George Harrison



    Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
    Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
    Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

    In the heart of the lonely man
    In and out of love more often where most others can
    He walks the streets like the losers in some lovers' game
    He talks so sweet but the news is always much the same

    Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
    Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
    Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

    In the eyes of the lonely one
    Everything is cold and hopeless that he looks upon
    He needs a friend a lover who can comfort him
    His deeds offend he knows that he has brought on him

    Teardrops - I've had my share of crying buckets full of
    Teardrops - so hard to take - I got a soaking with those
    Teardrops - and it feels like I have taken over from the rain

    My Father
    Composer(s): Judy Collins
    Originally performed by: Judy Collins
    Covered by various other artists



    My father always promised me
    That we would live in France
    We'd go boating on the Seine
    And I would learn to dance

    We lived in Ohio then
    He worked in the mines
    On his dreams like boats
    We knew we would sail in time

    All my sisters soon were gone
    To Denver and Cheyenne
    Marrying their grownup dreams
    The lilacs and the man

    I stayed behind the youngest still
    Only danced alone
    The colors of my father's dreams
    Faded without a sound

    And I live in Paris now
    My children dance and dream
    Hearing the ways of a miner's life
    In words they've never seen

    I sail my memories of home
    Like boats across the Seine
    And watch the Paris sun
    As it sets in my father's eyes again

    My father always promised us
    That we would live in France
    We'd go boating on the Seine
    And I would learn to dance

    I sail my memories of home
    Like boats across the Seine
    And watch the Paris sun
    As it sets in my father's eyes again

    Chorus:

    We've got hot dogs, ain't got no skin, now
    (Chorus)

    We've got folks, black and brown
    We've got everything, will you stick around
    (Chorus)

    When you get high, you want something sweet
    We've got something that will knock you off your feet, now
    (Chorus)

    Come up to my house, wanna have some fun
    Bring your money gal, it is easy done

    I sit in my room looking out at the rain
    My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane
    I'm thinking of our lost romance and how it should have been
    Oh if we only could start over again

    I know you never forgive me dear, for running out on you
    I was wrong to take a chance with somebody new
    I sit in my room looking out at the rain
    My tears are like crystals, they cover my window pane

    I know you never forgive me dear, for running out on you
    Oh I long to do the things we used to do
    I'm lonely and I'm blue yet I'll try to get along
    Without you

    Teardrops, teardrops, teardrops

    I have to gain faith, hope and charity
    God only knows the girl who will love me
    Oh if we only could start over
    Again

    Eliza:
    What a fool I was!
    What a dominated fool!
    To think you were the earth and sky
    What a fool I was! What an addle-pated fool!
    What a mutton-headed dolt was I!
    No, my reverberating friend
    You are not the beginning and the end!
    There'll be spring every year without you
    England still will be here without you
    There'll be fruit on the tree
    And a shore by the sea
    There'll be crumpets and tea
    Without you
    Art and music will thrive without you
    Somehow Keats will survive without you
    And there still will be rain
    On that plain down in Spain
    Even that will remain without you
    I can do without you
    You, dear friend, who talk so well
    You can go to Hartford, Hereford and Hampshire!
    They can still rule the land without you
    Windsor Castle will stand without you
    And without much ado
    We can all muddle through without you!
    Without your pulling it, the tide comes in
    Without your twirling it, the earth can spin
    Without your pushing them, the clouds roll by
    If they can do without you, ducky, so can I!
    I shall not feel alone without you
    I can stand on my own without you
    So go back in your shell
    I can do bloody well
    Without you!

    I've been listening to my radio
    For two or three years
    And the music they've been playing is so doggone bad
    That it's offendin' to my ears
    But them kids come over from the Mersey river
    Made us think back 'til then
    So let's put on our shoes
    And think about the blues
    And start all over again

    With that good time music
    Like we played so long ago
    Wo-oh don't you know oh-yeah
    With that good time music
    Yes, it's back on the radio

    I don't want no cryin' violins
    No sax or slide trombones
    I don't want no screaming ya-ya girls
    And no honkin' English horns
    I don't want no symphony orchestra
    With the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
    All I want is a guitar, a harp, and drum
    Just to set my soul on fire

    With that good time music
    Like we played so long ago
    Wo-oh don't you know oh-yeah

    Yes, it's back on the radio

    You Did It
    Dutch Title: Fantastisch
    Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
    Performer(s): Rex Harrison & Robert Coote
    and various other artists



    Pickering:
    Tonight, old man, you did it!
    You did it! You did it!
    You said that you would do it
    And indeed you did
    I thought that you would rue it
    I doubted you'd do it
    But now I must admit it
    That succeed you did
    You should get a medal
    Or be even made a knight

    Henry:
    It was nothing
    Really nothing

    Pickering:
    All alone you hurdled
    Ev'ry obstacle in sight

    Henry:
    Now, wait! Now, wait!
    Give credit where it's due
    A lot of the glory goes to you

    Pickering:
    But you're the one who did it
    Who did it, who did it!
    As sturdy as Gibraltar
    Not a second did you falter
    There's no doubt about it
    You did it!
    I must have aged a year tonight
    At times I thought I'd die of fright
    Never was there a momentary lull

    Henry:
    Shortly after we came in
    I saw at once we'd easily win
    And after that I found it deadly dull

    Pickering:
    You should have heard the ooh's and ah's
    Ev'ry one wondering who she was

    Henry:
    You'd think they'd never seen a lady before

    Pickering:
    And when the Prince of Transylvania
    Asked to meet her
    And gave his arm to lead her to the floor...!
    I said to him: You did it!
    You did it! You did it!
    They thought she was ecstatic
    And so damned aristocratic
    And they never knew
    That you
    Did it!

    Henry:
    Thank Heavens for Zoltan Karparthy
    If it weren't for him I would have died of boredom
    He was there, all right
    And up to his old tricks

    Mrs. Pearce:
    Karparthy? That dreadful Hungarian? Was he there?

    Henry:
    Yes
    That blackguard who uses the science of speech
    More to blackmail and swindle than teach
    He made it the devilish business of his
    "To find out who this Miss Doolittle is"
    Ev'ry time we looked around
    There he was, that hairy hound
    From Budapest
    Never leaving us alone
    Never have I ever known
    A ruder pest
    Fin'lly I decided it was foolish
    Not to let him have his chance with her
    So I stepped aside and let him dance with her
    Oozing charm from ev'ry pore
    He oiled his way around the floor
    Ev'ry trick that he could play
    He used to strip her mask away
    And when at last the dance was done
    He glowed as if he knew he'd won!
    And with a voice to eager
    And a smile too broad
    He announced to the hostess
    That she was a fraud!

    Mrs. Pearce:
    No!

    Henry:
    Jawohl!
    Her English is too good, he said
    Which clearly indicates that she is foreign
    Whereas others are instructed in their native language
    English people aren't
    And although she may have studied with an expert
    Di'lectician and grammarian
    I can tell that she was born Hungarian!
    Not only Hungarian, but of royal blood, she is a princess!

    Servants:
    Congratulations, Professor Higgins
    For your glorious victory!
    Congratulations, Professor Higgins!
    You'll be mentioned in history!

    Rest of Servants (Simultaneously):
    Congratulations
    Professor Higgins!
    For your glorious
    Victory!
    Congratulations
    Professor Higgins!
    Sing hail and hallelujah!
    Ev'ry bit of credit
    For it all belongs to you!

    Footman (Simultaneously with Rest of Servants):
    This evening, sir, you did it!
    You did it! You did it!
    You said that you would do it
    And indeed you did
    This evening, sir, you did it!
    You did it! You did it!
    We know that we have said it
    But-you did it and the credit
    For it all belongs to you!

    Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues
    Composer(s): Danny O'Keefe
    Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
    and various other artists



    Everybody's gone away
    Said they're movin to L.A.
    There's not a soul I know around
    Everybody's leavin' town

    Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
    Find the sunshine, leave the rain
    They said this town were a waste of time
    I guess they're right, it's wasting mine

    Some gotta win, some gotta lose
    Good time Charlie's got the blues
    Good time Charlie's got the blues

    You know my heart keeps tellin' me
    You're not a kid at thirty-three
    Play around you'll lose your wife
    You play too hard you'll lose your life

    Some gotta win, some gotta lose
    Good time Charlie's got the blues
    Good time Charlie's got the blues
    Good time Charlie's got the blues

    Some gotta win, some gotta lose
    Good time Charlie's got the blues
    Good time Charlie's got the blues
    Good time Charlie's got the blues

    Teachers
    ((Italian Version: Maestri (Claudio Daiano) - 1974))
    Composer(s): Leonard Cohen
    First release by: Leonard Cohen - 1967
    Covered by multiple other artists



    I met a woman long ago
    Her hair the black that black can go
    Are you a teacher of the heart
    Soft she answered no

    I met a girl across the sea
    Her hair the gold that gold can be
    Are you a teacher of the heart
    Yes but not for thee

    I met a man who lost his mind
    In some lost place I had to find
    Follow me the wise man said
    But he walked behind

    I walked into a hospital
    Where none was sick and none was well
    When at night the nurses left
    I could not walk at all

    Morning came
    And then came noon
    Dinner time the scalpel blade
    Lay beside my silver spoon

    Some girls wander by mistake
    Into the mess that scalpels make
    Are you the teachers of my heart
    We teach old hearts to break

    One morning I woke up alone
    The hospital, the nurses gone
    Have I carved enough, my lord
    Child, you are bone

    I ate and ate and ate
    No, I did not miss a plate
    Well, how much do these suppers cost
    We’ll take it out in hate

    I spent my hatred every place
    On every work on every face
    Someone gave me wishes
    And I wished for an embrace

    Several girls embraced me
    Then I was embraced by men
    Is my passion perfect
    No, do it once again

    I was handsome, I was strong
    I knew the words of every song
    Did my singing please you
    No, the words you sang were wrong

    Who is it whom I address
    Who takes down what I confess
    Are you the teachers of my heart
    We teach old hearts to rest

    Well, teachers are my lessons done
    I cannot do another one
    They laughed and laughed and said
    Well, child are your lessons done

    Are your lessons done
    Are your lessons done

    My Face In The Rain
    Composer(s): R. Dassin; Vangelis
    Performer(s): Demis Roussos; Vangelis



    My face in the rain
    I walk all alone
    It's Sunday time is slow
    I'm happy that is all I know
    My face into the sun
    My life is my own
    It's Sunday time is slow
    I am happy that is all I know

    My thoughts in the rain
    I walk all alone
    It's Sunday time is slow
    I am happy that is all I know

    Composer(s): Mark Lindsay; Terry Melcher

    Seems this world's got you down
    You're feelin' bad vibrations 'round
    Well open your eyes girl, look at me (look at me)

    And when your world don't seem just right
    And-a life's gettin' you uptight
    You can change that wrong to right (wrong to right)

    Let me bring you to a
    (Good, good, good, good thing)
    Good thing, girl

    Gotta hear me you can breeze 'em off should you try
    They don't care if you live or die
    'Cause they're losers, what a shame (cryin' shame)
    I'm gonna show you to a brand new game (brand new game)
    We're gonna have a good thing, such a good thing, baby

    I won't tell you no, no no lies
    When I'm through you'll realized
    For the first time it seems right (feels so right)
    I'm gonna stay right here tonight (stay tonight)
    We'll really have a good thing, such a good thing, baby

    Ah-nobody (no-one around to bring you down)
    Well, groovy world, girl
    Let me bring you to a
    (Good, good, good, good thing)
    Such a good thing, girl

    Good thing, baby (11X)

    Teacher
    Composer(s): Ian Anderson
    Performer(s): Jethro Tull



    Well the dawn was coming
    heard him ringing on my bell
    He said, "My name's the teacher
    that is what I call myself
    And I have a lesson
    that I must impart to you
    It's an old expression
    but I must insist it's true

    Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun
    no sense in sitting there hating everyone
    No man's an island and his castle isn't home
    the nest is for nothing when the bird has flown"

    So I took a journey
    threw my world into the sea
    With me went the teacher
    who found fun instead of me

    Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?
    Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed
    I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
    what I was looking for, got something on my mind

    Then the teacher told me
    it had been a lot of fun
    Thanked me for his ticket
    and all that I had done

    Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?
    Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed
    I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
    what I was looking for, got something on my mind

    My Eyes Adored You
    Composer(s): Robert Crewe; Kelly Nolan
    Performer(s): Andy Williams



    My eyes adored you
    Though I never laid a hand on you
    My eyes adored you
    Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
    So close, so close and yet so far

    Carried your books from school
    Playing "make-believe you're married to me"
    You were fifth-grade, I was sixth
    When we came to be
    Walking home every day over Barnegat Bridge and Bay
    Till we grew into the me and you
    Went our separate ways

    My eyes adored you
    Though I never laid a hand on you
    My eyes adored you
    Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
    So close, so close and yet so far

    Headed for city lights
    Climbed the ladder up to fortune and fame
    I worked my fingers to the bone
    Made myself a name
    Funny I seemed to find
    That no matter how the years unwind
    Still I reminisce 'bout the girl I miss
    And the love I left behind

    My eyes adored you
    Though I never laid a hand on you
    My eyes adored you
    Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you
    So close, so close and yet so far

    (My eyes adored you)
    All my life I will remember
    (Though I never laid a hand on you)
    How warm and tender we were way back then, whoa, whoa, baby
    (Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you)
    Oh, the feeling, sad regrets
    (So close, so close and yet so far)
    I know I won't ever forget you, my childhood friend

    (My eyes adored you)
    (Though I never laid a hand on you)
    (My eyes adored you)
    (Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see how I adored you)

    So close, so close and yet so far
