Tell It To The Rain
Composer(s): Anthony Cifelli - Mike Petrillo
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons



You're crying now just like I used to cry before (rain, rain, rain)
Turn off the tears, girl 
I don't care any more
You can save all your lies, 'cause I've heard them all before
Tell it to the rain
And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of
And that I'm your only love
Tell it to the rain

I gave you love, girl, and got nothing in return
How does it feel to feel what I had to learn?
Baby, don't say you're sorry, 'cause I'm just not concerned
Tell it to the rain
And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of
And that I'm your only love
Tell it to the rain

Tell it to the rain
And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of
Oh, forget it, love
Tell it to the rain

Tell it to the rain
And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of
And that I'm your only love
Tell it to the rain

My Heart's Treasure
Composer(s): Ray Rasch; Dotty Wayne
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



My heart's treasure darling is you
Please believe me darling it's true
You're so precious my heart wants to hide 
My good fortune deep down inside

My heart's treasure I'll never share
Earthly riches cannot compare
My heart's treasure will always be 
The love that you gave to me

My heart's treasure will always be
The love that you gave to me

Goodnight Saigon
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel; Michael Cavanaugh



We met as soul mates
On Parris Island
We left as inmates
From an asylum
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho
To lay down our lives

We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight

We had no home front
We had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy
They gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ
With all our might

We had no cameras
To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe
And played our Doors tapes
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write

And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together

Remember Charlie
Remember Baker
They left their childhood
On every acre
And who was wrong?
And who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight

We held the day
In the palm
Of our hand

They ruled the night
And the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks
On Parris Island
We held the coastline
They held the highlands
And they were sharp
As sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive

And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together

Tell It On The Mountain
((French Version: Viens Sur La Montagne (Marie Laforêt))
Composer(s): Milton Okun - Noel Paul Stookey - Mary Travers - Peter Yarrow
Performer(s): Peter, Paul and Mary



Who's that yonder dressed in white
Let my people go
Must be the people of the Israelites
Let my people go

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hill and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hill and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born

Who's that yonder dressed in red
Let my people go
Must be the people that Moses led
Let my people go

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hill and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born

Who's that yonder dressed in black
Let my people go
Must be the hypocrites turning back
Let my people go

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hill and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born

My Heart To You
Composer(s): Don Williams
Performer(s): Don Williams



You give to me what life should be for everyone
You're my pepper, you're my salt, my favorite tea
You're my sunset on the ocean, my desert dawn
So much of you is now a part of me

I know a greater power must have noticed me
And decided I would meet someone like you
No-one on this planet thought we could ever be
Till He gave my heart to you, and yours to me

You've given us our children and a recipe
For you and I, love comes naturally
My love is somehow different than I'd have it be
An' it's workin' on my heart, not into me

So I know a greater power must have noticed me
And decided I would meet someone like you
No-one on this planet thought we could ever be
Till He gave my heart to you, and yours to me

Goodnight Pillow
Composer(s): Matt Dennis
Performer(s): Jo Stafford



Goodnight pillow don't blame me if I sigh 
For tonight he said goodbye
What would you do if you were I
Goodnight pillow what did I say or do
Oh I've never been this blue 
My broken heart is so new
All our carefree sundays are through 
And the million and one things we do
The lovely nights that we knew 
Will he miss them too
Now please pillow while moonlight softly beams 
Take me to him in my dreams
Goodnight pillow
Now please pillow while moonlight softly beams 
Take me to him in my dreams
Goodnight pillow goodnight

My Heart Tells Me
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Warren
Originally performed by: Betty Grable
Covered by various other artists



My heart tells me this is just a fling
Yet you say our love means everything
Do you mean what you are saying
Or is this a little game we're playing
My heart tells me I will cry again
Lips that kiss like yours could lie again
If I'm fool enough to see this through
Will I be sorry if I do
Should I believe my heart or you

My heart tells me I will cry again
Lips that kiss like yours could lie again
If I'm fool enough to see this through
Will I be sorry if I do
Should I believe my heart or you

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
I'm gonna take a little stroll downtown

Some times I live in the country
Some times I live in town
Some times I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown

Quit your rambling quit your gambling
Stop staying out late at night
Stay home with your wife and family
And stay by the fireside of right

Sometimes she sleeps in a gown
But when they both in the laundrey
Irene is the talk of the town

Irene never goes off to Dreamland 
Till she's combed every hair in her head
She puts it all up neat in curlers
Then she hangs it on the post of the bed

We'll see you in our dreams

A burgler broke in Irenes bedroom
The dear girl was sleeping in peace
Then Irene she fought like a tiger
Till the burgler called the police

Irene Goodnight
Irene Goodnight
Cut out missing a dream drink Ovaltine
Or just drop dead Irene!

Tell It Like It Is
((Dutch Version: Zet Het Licht Op Groen (Paul Anderson) - 1993))
Composer(s): Lee Diamond - George Richard Davis
First release by: Aaron Neville - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



If you want something to play with 
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart it makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then baby I will, girl you know I will

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live

Tell it like it is
I'm nothin' to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I
Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy

Mm mm, tell it like it is 

My Heart Stood Still
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Originally performed by: Jessie Matthews
Covered by various other artists



I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still

My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still

I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stopped right there

My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew
That unfelt claps of hands
Told me so well you knew
I never lived at all
Until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still

Goodnight Children Everywhere
Composer(s): Gabriel Rogers; Harry Phillips
Performer(s): Vera Lynn; Joe Loss; 
Harry Roy; Sixpence None The Richer



Sleepy little eyes in a sleepy little head
Sleepy time is drawing near
In a little while, you'll be tucked up in your bed
Here's a song for baby, dear

Goodnight, children, everywhere
Your Mummy thinks of you tonight
Lay your head upon your pillow
Don't be a kid or a weeping willow

Close your eyes and say a prayer
And surely you can find a kiss to spare
Tho you are far away, she's with you night and day
Goodnight, children, everywhere.

Soon the moon will rise and caress you with its beams
While the shadows softly creep
With a happy smile, you'll be wrapped up in your dreams
Baby will be fast asleep

Goodnight, children, everywhere
Your Mummy thinks of you tonight
Lay your head upon your pillow
Don't be a kid or a weeping willow

Close your eyes and say a prayer
And surely you can find a kiss to spare
Tho you are far away, she's with you night and day
Goodnight, children, everywhere

Tell It All Brother
Composer(s): Alex Harvey
Performer(s): Kenny Rogers



Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it all

How much you're holding back on me
When you say you're giving all?
And in the dungeons of your mind
Who you got chained to the wall?

Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it all

Did you plant your feet on higher ground
To avoid life's mud and stone?
Did you ever kick a good man
When he was down, just to make yourself feel strong?

Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters
Tell it all

Tomorrow just might be too late
Now is the time
To get your jumbled mind straight
And seek a new design

Did you ever walk for a crippled man
Pretending you were lame?
And what made you think one feeble hand to God
Was gonna make him call your name?

Tell it all brother and sisters
Tell, Tell it all
Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all brothers and sisters, tell
Tell it all brother, before we fall
Tell it all...

I hear the sound of music
Your favorite kind of music
And that reminds me, Dear, of you

I see the summer roses
Your favorite shade of roses
And that reminds me too of you, Dear

If I could hear no music
If there could be no roses
No summer nights to make me dream as I do
I still would not forget you
One thing would still be true
My heart reminds me I love you

If I could hear no music
If there could be no roses
No summer nights to make me dream as I do
I still would not forget you
One thing would still be true
My heart reminds me I love you

Goodnight baby 
You know I hate to leave you now 
Keep on bein' my lady 
And I'll see you tomorrow somehow 
Right now it's-a good night baby, baby goodnight 
Sweet dreams baby, won't you keep me on your mind 

Bridge: 
Every time I turn to walk away 
I feel the power of love comin' on 
The look in your eyes seems to tell you 
You feel the same way after I'm gone 

Hurts to leave you, but... 
Goodnight baby, baby goodnight 
And if you wake up feelin' lonely 
You can call me any time 

(repeat bridge) 

I'd better get away, say 
Goodnight baby, baby goodnight 
I'll go on, baby I know 
I feel the power of love, etc.

She hasn't been a-back here no more
If  an' how you can see my woman
Tell her that I need her
Tell her she was right
Tell her that I miss her
Oooh, each and every night

Tell her I was wrong
And yes, if she'll just listen
Tell her to come back where she belongs
If you ever find that love of mine
Tell her to forgive me
Tell her don't be mean
I didn't mean to start it
I wish it was all just dream
Tell her
Tell her
Oh, how much I love
Oh, how much I need her
How much I love her...

for it is created out of love
Tell me once more, my one and only
oh tell me once more
I love you!

Wherever I am
I feel you are near
I want to drink your breath
and kneel adoringly at your feet
yours, yours alone! 
How wonderful is your shining hair!
Dreamy and full of longing
is your radiant gaze
Your voice is music to my ears

My heart is yours alone...

Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux
Mais je connais l'amour
Quand une fille te rend malheureux
Pleure pas tous les jours
Si tu veux qu'elle te voie
Et qu'elle s'attache à toi
Si tu veux qu'elle ne soit
Vraiment rien qu'à toi

Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie
Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie
Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui

Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux
Mais je connais l'amour
Si tu veux enfin être heureux
Sors donc au grand jour
N'attends pas demain
Pour crier cet amour
Prends-la par la main
Sans plus de détour et

Dis-lui que tu l'aimes à la folie
Dis-lui que tu l'aimeras pour la vie
Dis-lui, dis-lui, oh dis-lui, oui dis-le-lui

Mais l'amour a gagné
Car mon cœur ne savait pas
Jusqu'à ce beau jour
Où oui! Oui on m'a dit: oh toi!

Je n'suis sans doute pas très vieux

My Heart Is Like A Clock
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Mary Wells
Performer(s): Mary Wells



You broke my heart, and in that moment it stopped 
Just like a clock that has been dropped 
I thought that everything was fine 
And that our love was gonna last 
And yet we're running out of time 
Just like the sand in a glass 
Now every moment seems like an hour 
Every hour like a day ever since you went away 

My heart is running down 
Just like a clock, it needs to be wound 
Before it stops 
And only your kiss can wind it up and make it get started 
Your kiss can wind it up and make it get started 
So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted 

My heart is running down 
Just like a clock, it needs to be wound 
Before it stops 
And only your kiss can wind it up and make it get started 
Your kiss can wind it up and make it get started 
So come on & wind it up before I wind up broken-hearted  

And make it get started, oh oh 
Don't wanna be broken-hearted, oh oh 
(Only your kiss can wind it up) ...
