My Ideal Composer(s): Newell Chase; Leo Robin; Richard A. Whiting Performer(s): Jimmy Dorsey
Will I ever find the boy in my mind The one who is my ideal? Maybe hes a dream, and yet he might be Just around the corner waiting for me Will I recognise the light in his eyes That no other eyes reveal? Or will I pass him by And never even know that he is my ideal?
Or maybe hes a dream, and yet he might be Just around the corner waiting for me
Will I recognise the light in his eyes That no other eyes reveal? Although he may be late I trust in fate, and so I wait for my ideal I wait for my ideal

Laura and Tommy were lovers He wanted to give her everything Flowers, presents and most of all, a wedding ring He saw a sign for a stock car race A thousand dollar prize it read He couldn't get Laura on the phone So to her mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura I may be late I've something to do, that cannot wait
He drove his car to the racing grounds He was the youngest driver there The crowed roared as they started the race 'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace No one knows what happened that day How his car overturned in flames But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck With his dying breath, they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die
And in the chapel where Laura prays For Tommy who passed away It was just for Laura he lived and died Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her, tell Laura I need her Tell Laura not to cry My love for her will never die Tell Laura I love her...

When the night comes softly creeping and the big bright moon a peeping Honey moon man, my honey man down on me his eyes are winking as with ardent love he's blinking Honey moon man, my honey man does he love me true I wonder on this thought I often ponder as into his starry eyes I gaze and sigh all night long I am so lonely 'cause I want you and you only My honey moon man, my honey man
When the shades of night are falling can you hear my heart a calling Honey moon man, my honey man? It is now the time of wooing It is now such hearts are cooing Honey moon man, my honey man Down thro' lovers lane they're strolling while the evening bells are tolling and I'm sad at heart as on their joys I gaze come to me love with caresses hold me close and smooth my tresses My honey moon man, my honey man
My honey moon man My honey moon man Won't you come down here to me while the stars are shining for you I'm pining I want to sit right on your knee every thing's asleeping all the crickets gone to rest while I wait my heart goes out to you come down I'm lonely I want you only I want you now My honey moon man

True love can be whispered from heart to heart When lovers are parted they say But I must depend on a wish and a star As long as my heart doesn't know who you are
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be Sweet dreams to carry you close to me I wish they may and I wish they might Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight

My Home's In Alabama Composer(s): Theodore Gentry; Randy Owen Performer(s): Alabama
Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night
Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away to some other guitar picker in some other late night place
Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A. Up to New York City, all across the USA I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)
..home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred
What keeps me goin'? I don't really know can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood when the people really love ya and let you know when it's good
Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me
My Home Town Composer(s): Tom Lehrer Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
I really have a yen to go back once again Back to that place where noone wears a frown To see once more those super special folks in my home town No feller could ignore the little next door she sure looked sweet in here first evening gown Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free in my home town
I remember Dan the druggist on the corner he was never mean or ornery he was swell He killed his mother in law and ground her up real well And sprinkled just a little bit over each banana split
The guy that taught us math and never took a bath acquired a certain measure of renown And after school he sold the most amazing pictures in my home town
The fellow was no fool who taught our Sunday school and neither was our kindly Parson Brown I guess I'd better leave the next line out just to be safe in my home town
I remember Sam he was the village idiot and though it seemed a pity it was so He loved to burn down house just to see the glow And nothing could be done because he was the mayor's son That guy who took a knife and monogrammed his wife and dropped her in the pond and watched her down Oh yes indeed those people there are just plain folks in my home town

Laura ja Ilmari styylas ja Ilmari lahjoitti Lauralleen kukkaa, sukkaa, vaan rahnat ei riittäneet sormukseen!
Hän oli lähdössä viis satasten hän tiesi: tonnin saa voittaja sen ja varikolta soitti hän Lauralleen ja toisti tunteensa uudelleen ja uudelleen
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Jos tänään en voitakaan niin huomenna taas sun olla saan!"
Hän johti kierroksen ensimmäisen hän oli nuorin kai kilpailun sen Vain ohimennen vilkaisi katsomoon päin ja koneen hallinnan menetti hän yllättäin!
Ei kukaan nähnyt, miten tapahtui tuo Pian paarit kannettiin Ilmarin luo Vain hetken hän oli vielä tajuissaan mut ohut kuiskaus kuului vielä huuliltaan
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Ei kuole mun rakkautein ei milloinkaan - et surra saa!"
Jäi Laura istumaan kappeliin silmät peittyivät kyyneliin... Hän muiti Ilmarin lupauksen vain kappelin seinät kuiskas hiljasen
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan niin kauheesti kaipaan! Ei kuole mun rakkautein ei milloinkaan - et surra saa!"
My Home Town Composer(s): Paul Anka Performer(s): Paul Anka
I took a little trip to my hometown I only stopped to look around And as I walked along the thorough-fare There was music playing everywhere The music came from within my heart How did it happen how did it start I only know that I fell in love I guess the answer lies up above
Oh what a feeling My heart was reeling The bells were ringing The birds were singing
And so the music keep goes on and on And through the night until the break of dawn I hear a bird up in the tree He sings a pretty little melody
Oh what a feeling My heart was reeling The bells were ringing The birds were singing
And so the music keep goes on and on And through the night until the break of dawn I hear a bird up in the tree He sings a pretty little melody
Goodnight My Love Composer(s): Harry Revel; Mack Gordon Performer(s): Shirley Temple & Alice Faye; and various other artists
Shirley: Goodnight, my love Your Mommy is kneeling beside you Goodnight, my love To dreamland the Sandman will guide you Come now you sleepy head Close your eyes, go to bed My precious sleepy head You mustn't play peek-a-boo
Goodnight, my love Your little Dutch dolly is yawning Goodnight my love Your teddy bear's called it a day Your dog is fast asleep, my but he's smart Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love God bless you, pleasant dreams sweetheart
Alice: Goodnight, my love The tired old moon is descending Goodnight, my love My moment with you now is ending It was so heavenly, holding you close to me It will be heavenly To hold you again in a dream
The stars above Have promised to meet us tomorrow Till then my love How dreary the new day will seem So for the present, dear, we'll have to part Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love Remember that your mine, sweetheart

Viens, mon ami le geôlier À toi, je vais tout raconter Demain très tôt, au petit jour J'aurai mon tour, j'aurai mon tour Et je dirai adieu à la vie Pour lui payer bien des folies Si par hasard tu la vois Va saluer Laura pour moi
Dis-lui que je l'aime D'un amour trop grand pour son coeur Et que je pars sans un pleur Dis-lui tout cela, dis-le-lui pour moi
Laura bravait le monde entier Pour ses désirs d'enfant gâtée Ses yeux, son corps au long des jours Chantaient l'amour, chantaient l'amour Je l'ai tenue dans mes bras, serrée Pour la garder j'ai tout renié Et quand Laura m'a trahi Notre roman s'est mal fini
Dis-lui que je l'aime D'un amour plus fort que la mort Et pour chasser ses remords Dis-lui tout cela Dis-le-lui pour moi
Pour moi, Laura était trop jolie Un soir, j'ai tué par jalousie Et je pourrais, sans regret Pour un baiser, recommencer
Dis-lui que je l'aime Qu'il lui faut oublier mon nom Et m'accorder son pardon Dis-lui tout cela, dis-le-lui pour moi
My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys Composer(s): Sharon Rice; Sharon Vaughn Performer(s): Willie Nelson and various other artists
I grew up a dreaming of being a cowboy And loving the cowboy ways
Pursuing the life of my high-riding heroes I burned up my childhood days I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter Dontcha hold on to nothing too long Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them With the words of a sad country song
My heroes have always been cowboys They still are it seems Sadly in search of and one step in back of Themselves and their slow-moging dreams
Cowboys are special, with their own brand of misery From being alone too long To die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare Knowing well that your best days are gone And picking up hookers instead of my pen I let the words of my youth fade away Old worn out saddles, and old worn out memories With no one, and no place to stay
My heroes have always been cowboys They still are it seems Sadly in search of and one step in back of Themselves and their slow-moging dreams
Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, Wherever You Are Composer(s): E.Y. "Yip" Harburg Performer(s): Sammy Fain
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are Are you waving at me from your favourite star The star that you wished on when once we were young For dreams to be dreams and songs to be sung
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, I blow you a kiss Till we meet and we laugh and perhaps reminisce And finally, Im sure that we will know the mystery of The unfinished song that will go on As long as theres love
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, I blow you a kiss Till we meet and we laugh and perhaps reminisce Then finally, Im sure that we will know the mystery of The dreams and the song that will go on As long as theres love

L'amour parfois se flétrit et s'endort Mais de ses cendres peut renaître encore Un bonheur oublié qu'il tenait tant à lui donner Sur sa guitare, il a composé Une chanson où il lui disait Son espoir de la retrouver Et cette histoire, à tous, il l'a chantée
Dites-lui que je l'aime Mais que je dois partir Un jour, je reviendrai Et ce jour, je pourrai encore l'aimer
Depuis ce jour, la chance lui sourit De par le monde, chacun l'applaudit Mais dans sa vie, plus rien ne comptait Car c'est toujours à elle qu'il pensait Roulant trop vite vers elle, dans la nuit Dans un tournant, le destin le surprit Et quand à l'aube on le retrouva Jusqu'au dernier mot, à tous, il murmura
Dites-lui que je l'aime Cachez-lui que je souffre Un jour, je reviendrai Et ce jour, je pourrai encore l'aimer
Aujourd'hui, elle est seule Mais elle ne peut l'oublier Car sa voix est toujours là Et, par ce disque, toujours il lui dira
Dites-lui que je l'aime Mais que je dois partir Un jour, je reviendrai Et ce jour, je pourrai Encore l'aimer
