Techo de tejas rojas donde mi juventud gastó sus viejas botas desde tu cielo mirando al sur Caballo de mis penas de cal y arena será tu cruz Techo de tejas rojas horizonte de paz donde la lluvia moja con gusto a trigo y a rubio pan Quiero volar tu alero cielo primero junto al pinar Y desandar volando toda mi vida y mi ser aquel vigía lombardo y en tu horizonte permanecer Que mi paloma herida ya no puede seguir que se le va la vida y entre tus tejas quiere morir Techo de tejas rojas ardiente rosa del cielo azul Cobíjame en tu alero fiel compañero bajo tu luz
My Front Door Is Open Composer(s): Hank Thompson Performer(s): Hank Thompson
My front door is open for someone like you Won't you come in for a while My front door is open for someone like you Gee!, but I like your smile
So come on in then, let's get well acquainted I'll bet that you'll like me too And the two of us won't ever fuss, so everything's all right My front door is open for you
My front door is open for someone like you But it's been closed a long, long time I've sat at home, my telephone don't ring anymore I seldom see that ol' sunhine
Although I haven't got a lot to offer I've got a heart that's true It's plain to see that you and me could get along just fine My front door is open for you

My friend the wind will come from the hills When dawn will rise, he'll wake me again My friend the wind will tell me a secret He shares with me, he shares with me
My friend the wind will come from the north With words of love, she whispered for me My friend the wind will say she loves me And me alone, and me alone
I'll hear her voice and the words That he brings from Helenimou Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou Oh oh oh
We'll share a dream where I'm never away from Helenimou Blue are the days like the eyes of Aghapimou Far from the world will I live with Manoulamou Oh oh oh
My friend the wind go back to the hills And tell my love a day will soon come Oh friendly wind you tell a secret You know so well, oh you know so well
I'll hear her voice and the words That he brings from Helenimou Sweet as a kiss are the songs of Aghapimou Soft as the dew is the touch of Manoulamou Oh oh oh
La la la .... Helenimou La la la .... Aghapimou La la la .... Manoulamou

Teasin' Composer(s): Richard Adler - Philip Springer Performer(s): Petula Clark
Mummy told me she would scold me if a boy I kissed But I can't resist teasin' Always gets `em, it upsets `em But what can I do `cause it's all so new, teasin'
Now the good book says that nothing repays The harm a life of sin does But I must confide, we can't decide Till we find what it is that Errol Flynn does
Mummy told me she would scold me if a boy I kissed But I can't resist teasin'
At the riding school, the teacher was cool And he seemed a harmless person But after the ride he took me aside And was I glad I kept my spurs on
Always gets `em, it upsets `em But what can I do `cause it's all so new, teasin'
There's a boy I like who likes to hike But in no uncertain language I refused to stop when he said he'd drop If he didn't have a nibble at my corned beef sandwich
Mummy told me she would scold me if a boy I kissed But I can't resist teasin'
Now it's love that makes this world go round `cause we all love hanky-panky (Do ya) Keep one eye on an Englishman But you'd better keep two on a gosh-darned Yankee
Always gets `em, it upsets `em But when day is done Where's the bloomin' fun In teasin' On a moonlight night When the stars shine bright Somehow Mama don't seem so right `cause, faith, it's all so pleasin'
My Friend The Sea Composer(s): Jack Fishman; Ron Goodwin Performer(s): Petula Clark
Oh, you great ocean so deep Oh, you ocean so wide I feel you are my friend So in you I confide
You know the world Every land, every shore There's not a place You don't explore
Send every wave As it rolls on it's way Searchin' high, searchin' low Searchin' each little bay
Send out a plea to the Whole of seven seas Where is the one I adore
My friend, the sea Be true to me My love, one day Sailed far away
My friend, the sea Please ask the tide To bring my love Home to my side
Oh, you great ocean so deep Oh, you ocean so wide There are hearts you unite There are hearts you divide
You know the world Every riddle, mountain, stream Look every where you've ever been
Ask all the fish as they swim out to sea Would they pass on the word as a favor to me Maybe they'll look out some little brook And find the one I adore
My friend, the sea Be good to me My love, one day Sailed far away
My friend, the sea Please ask the tide To bring my love Home to my side
Tears On My Pillow Composer(s): Sylvester Bradford - Al Lewis First release by: Little Anthony & the Imperials - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists
You don't remember me, but I remember you 't was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hand of fate Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy When you find the one you love, she'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you Oh wo wo wo you you wo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
My Friend The Rose French Title: Mon Amie La Rose Performer(s): Michel Montecrossa & the Chosen Few (Originally performed by: Françoise Hardy)
A lifetime comes and goes And as my friend the rose said only yesterday "This morning I was born and baptised in the dawn I flowered in the dew and life was fresh and new The sun shone through the cold And through the day I grew, by night-time I was old" "At least there's never been No, you have never seen, a rose more bright and gay"
A lifetime comes and goes And as my friend the rose said only yesterday "The good lord smiled on me, so why then should it be I feel I'm falling now, oh yes, I'm falling now My heart no-one can save My head begins to bow, my feet are in the grave" The rose God smiled upon Tomorrow will be gone, forever gone away
A lifetime comes and goes And so my friend the rose was dead at break of day The moon is shining bright and in my dreams tonight Beneath the starlit sky, my friend the rose goes by He has seen my dreams I see A soul that wouldn't die, still watching over me Whatever fortune brings I'll hope for better things or life will just be grey
"A lifetime comes and goes" That's what my friend the rose said only yesterday
Goodbye Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney Performer(s): Mary Hopkin; The Beatles; Bill Janovitz; Anthony Johnson; Anita Kerr; John Lennon
Please don't wake me until late tomorrow comes And I will not be late Late today when it becomes tomorrow I will leave to go away Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye Songs that lingered on my lips excite me now And linger on my mind Leave your flowers at my door I'll leave them for the one who waits behind Far away my lover sings a lonely song And calls me to his side When the song of lonely love Invites me on I must go to his side Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love goodbye
Tears Of Rage Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Richard Manuel First recording/First release by: Bob Dylan & The Band - 1967/1975 Covered by multiple other artists
We carried you in our arms on Independence Day And now you'd throw us all aside and put us all away Oh, what dear daughter 'neath the sun could treat a father so? To wait upon him hand and foot and always tell him "No"
Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so low And life is brief
It was all very painless When you went out to receive All that false instruction Which we never could believe And now the heart is filled with gold As if it was a purse But, oh, what kind of love is this Which goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so low And life is brief
We pointed you the way to go And scratched your name in sand Though you just thought it was nothing more Than a place for you to stand I want you to know that while we watched You discovered no one would be true And I myself was among The ones who thought It was just a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief Why must I always be the thief? Come to me now, you know we're so low And life is brief
My Friend The Doctor Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse Originally performed by: Anthony Newley Covered by various other artists
Matthew: He's altogether a marvellous man, an' he understands the Irish! ..........and any man who understands the Irish Can't be reckoned altogether bad The same way that a lunatic Whose patron saint is Patrick Can't be reckoned altogether mad
The doctor's very smart He's an Irishman at heart His favourite colour, sure it must be green Also he's a man Who'll blarney when he can Let me explain the sort of thing I mean
My friend the doctor says The moon is made of apple pie And once a month it's eaten by the sun And that is why Up in the sky You'll find as every month goes by Somebody in the sky's makin' another one!
My friend the doctor says The sun is made of cheddar cheese The doctor even knows the reason why The facts are these Try if you please Pretendin' you're a lonely cheese Wouldn't you want to try findin' an apple pie?
Of course you would!
Maybe what the doctor tells me Isn't altogether true But I love every tale he tells me I don't know any better ones - do you?
My friend the doctor says The world is full of fantasy And who are you and I to disagree? Let's hope and pray That is the way The life we love will always stay For my friend the doctor And me!
Matthew & Company: My friend the doctor says The stars are made of lemon drops The bigger ones are lollipops and ice The clouds have shops Up on the tops That sell you sweets and soda - pops What do they call the place - isn't it paradise?
Company: My friend the doctor says That every time it starts to rain And people run indoors again in swarms If you remain Out in the rain You'll think you're drinkin' pink champagne! And you'll spend your life Prayin' for thunderstorms!
Maybe what the doctor tells me Isn't altogether true But I love every tale he tells me I don't know any better ones - do you?
Matthew: My friend the doctor says The world is full of fantasy And who are you and I to disagree? Let's hope and pray That is the way The life we love will always stay For my friend the doctor My friend the doctor and me!
Goodbye Composer(s): Robert Stolz; Harry Graham Performer(s): Josef Locke; Vernon Midgley; David Whitfield
My heart is broken But what care I? Such pride inside me has woken I'll try my best not to cry By and by When the final farewells must be spoken I'll join the Legion That's what I'll do And in some far distant region Where human hearts are staunch and true I shall start my life anew Good-bye, it's time I sought a foreign clime Where I may find there are hearts more kind Than I leave behind And so, I go To fight a savage foe Although I know that I'll be sometimes missed by the girls I've kissed In some Abyssinian French Dominion I shall do my bit And fall for the flag if I must Where the desert sand is nice and handy I'll be full of grit You won't see my heels for the dust I'll do or die You'll know the reason why When told of bold Leopold's last stand For the Fatherland
Good-bye, it's time I sought a foreign clime Where I may find There are hearts more kind Than I leave behind And so, I go To fight a savage foe Although I know that I'll be sometimes misses by the girls I've kissed In some Abyssinian French Dominion I shall do my bit And fall for the flag if I must Where the desert sand is nice and handy I'll be full of grit You won't see my heels for the dust I'll do or die You'll know the reason why When told of bold Leopold's last stand For the Fatherland Good-bye Good-bye I wish you all a last Good-bye Good-bye Good-bye. I wish you all a last Good-bye
Umbrellas Composer(s): Bruce Dedrick Performer(s): The Free Design
Im walking down the street in the rain, my umbrella high above my head High above my head Puddles along the wet sidewalks and gutters, (pitter patter) Rain lightly falling from the sky (pitter patter) Rain lightly falling from the sky
Red and green and free design Umbrellas are in bloom, nourished by the rain
Im walking down the street in the rain, my umbrella high above my head High above my head
Though the clouds, the blackness and rain I see the lightning strike as though it were pain Rain falling hard on a sea of umbrellas A colorful bottomless ocean Then the wind it blows and it blows I see the umbrellas bend, they creak and they groan Gusting down alleys and through streets of cars Causing unbottled unspent commotion
I spy a patch of blue through a cloud A patch of blue through a shroud Hopefully umbrellas hide and shrink and close As the noonday sun peeks through the clouds
My Friend Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Neil Sedaka Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
When I'm unhappy and feeling lonely and this old world of mine comes tumbling down you are the someone on who I can depend it's nice to know that I have you, my friend
When I get crazy, you understand me you overlook the things I don't mean to say You're there beside me whenever things go wrong I'm never lonely knowing you're along
You and me, the two of us together we go on and face the world whatever happens No matter what gets in our way we see it through from day to day Right up until the very end it's gonna be me and my friend
We share the good times, we share the bad times we meet life head-on with its ups and its downs Some people tell ya that life's a lonely ride but not for us who travel side by side
You and me, the two of us together we go on and face the world whatever happens No matter what gets in our way we see it through from day to day Right up until the very end it's gonna be me and my friend
I'm never lonely knowing you're along You and me, the two of us together we go on and face the world whatever happens No matter what gets in our way we see it through from day to day Right up until the very end it's gonna be me and my friend
Goodbye Composer(s): Gordon Jenkins Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
I'll never forget you I'll never forget you I'll never forget how we promised one day To love one another forever that way We sad we'd never say, goodbye
But that was long ago Now you've forgotten I know No use to wonder why Let's say farewell, with a sigh, let love die But we'll go on living Our own way of living
So you take the high road And I'll take the low It's time that we parted It's much better so But kiss me as you go, goodbye
Don't Turn Away Composer(s): Chris Dedrick Performer(s): The Free Design
If we have a troubled time, do you stop admiring me? When we see that we arent perfect, do you stop desiring me? I could keep your eyes from crying Please dont turn your back on me You could keep my heart from dying Let me hold you, tenderly
Dont turn away from me dont increase the distance between us when things arent right I love you truly so help me, oh Please let me bury my face in your hair and my hopes in your care My love in your body, my life in your heart beating sadly on nights such as this Dissolved in one kiss
I could keep your eyes from crying Please dont turn your back on me You could keep my heart from dying Let me hold you, tenderly
Dont turn away from me dont increase the distance between us when things arent right I love you truly so help me, oh Please let me bury my face in your hair and my hopes in your care My love in your body, my life in your heart beating sadly on nights such as this Dissolved in one warm, wet, willing kiss
My Friend Composer(s): Ervin Drake; Jimmy Shirl Performer(s): Frankie Laine and various other artists
My friend is the king of all kings And yet my friend walks beside me My friend rules the earth and the sun And yet my friend stops to guide me My friend takes my hand just when all appears in vain And makes it plain, through joy or pain He'll remain my friend My friend tells me life is a road And though it ends at the bending My friend tells me then there's a road beyond this road that is unending Some day when I walk up that happy road that lies around the bend Who will there be to welcome me My friend
