Telling It To The Daisies Composer(s): Harry Warren - Joe Young Performer(s): Nick Lucas
Telling it to the daisies But it never gets back to you
Why am I so bashful, so afraid to part With a lot of love words locked up in my heart For the want of courage foolishly I've tried To conceal what I reveal by a countryside
Telling it to the daisies, Hoping they'll tell you too Pouring my heart out to them But it never gets back to you
What do I do on Sunday? Under those lonely skies Same as I do on Monday But they never do put you wise
Oh, I'm so in love with you, and Oh, I feel you're never gonna know Unless the birdies tell you so
I know I'm wasting a lot of love time Time and again I'm blue Telling it to the daisies But it never gets back to you
I know I'm wasting a lot of love time Time and again I'm blue Telling it to the daisies But it never gets back to you
My Love Composer(s): Tony Hatch Performer(s): Petula Clark
and various other artists
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine Softer than a sigh My love is deeper than the deepest ocean Wider than the sky My love is brighter than the brightest star That shines every night above And there is nothing in this world That can ever change my love
Something happended to my heart the day that I met you Something that I never felt before You are always on my mind no matter what I do And everyday it seems that I want you more
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine Softer than a sigh My love is deeper than the deepest ocean Wider than the sky My love is brighter than the brightest star That shines every night above And there is nothing in this world That can ever change my love
Once I thought that love was meant for anyone else but me Once I thought you'd never come my way Now it only goes to show how wrong we all can be For now I have to tell you everyday
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine Softer than a sigh My love is deeper than the deepest ocean Wider than the sky My love is brighter than the brightest star That shines every night above And there is nothing in this world That can ever change my love
My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine Softer than a sigh My love is deeper than the deepest ocean Wider than the sky My love is brighter than the brightest star That shines every night above And there is nothing in this world That can ever change my love
Gott Sei Dank Jetzt Bist Du Da Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Ich fuhr durch sieben Meere wohl und suchte dort nach Gold und Glück Ich segelte von Pol zu Pol kam ohne Illusionen zurück. Hundertmal glaubte ich dich zu erkennen in einem Blick voll Zärtlichkeit Hundertmal hieß sich kennen auch sich trennen Hundertmal war's schade um die Zeit
Gott sei dank jetzt bist du da komm ruh' dich in meinen Armen aus Gott sei dank jetzt bist du da jetzt bin ich endlich bei dir zu Haus
Dich suchend hab' ich konsequent mir Paradiese ausgemalt Wie Maler ohne Maltalent ich seh' dich dort in Feengestalt Und Nacht für Nacht träumt ich dieselben Bilder in Farben, die man Hoffnung nennt Beim ersten Flügelschlag hat dann der junge Tag den Maler und sein Bild getrennt
Gott sei dank jetzt bist du da nun ruh' ich in deinen Armen aus Gott sei dank jetzt bist du da jetzt bin ich endlich bie dir zu Haus
Tellin' Stories Composer(s): Jon Brookes - Mark Collins - Martin Blunt - Rob Collins - Tim Burgess Performer(s): The Charlatans
Come see me in the morning Can't you see I'm tellin' stories My sweet angel's everlasting true love ways I'll wait I'll sow the seed I'll set the scene And I watch the world go by
See me come through changes revelations to blank pages I'll find a brighter guide to see me through And leaves fall to the ground to turn brown through the day just like you
Live for the day I see your heart is empty I've got plenty Joe come ride with me I see your head is is meant to be cemented It's true, when the stories that you tell come back to haunt you
I'll be there in the morning can't you see I'm tellin' stories My sweet angel's everlasting true love ways While others turn to others introduce you and walk right on through
It's just about knowing where you come from being you and singing love songs can begin to fill your day I could lead you to the top don't stop I could lead you there still
Live for the day I see your heart is empty I've got plenty Joe come ride with me I see your head is is meant to be cemented It's true, when the stories that you tell come back to haunt you
My Love Composer(s): Lionel Richie Performer(s): Lionel Richie

Gota D'Água Composer(s): Chico Buarque Performer(s): Chico Buarque; and various other artists
Já lhe dei meu corpo, minha alegria Já estanquei meu sangue quando fervia Olha a voz que me resta Olha a veia que salta Olha a gota que falta Pro desfecho da festa Por favor
Deixe em paz meu coração Que ele é um pote até aqui de mágoa E qualquer desatenção, faça não Pode ser a gota d'água
Early In The Morning ((French Version: Chaque Jour À La Même Heure (Claude François) - 1969)) Composer(s): Eddie Seago - Mike Leander First release by: Vanity Fare - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists
Evening is the time of day I find nothing much to see Don't know what to do, but I come to When it's early in the morning Over by the window day is dawning When I feel the air I feel that life is very good to me, you know In the sun, there is so much yellow something in the early morning meadow Tells me that today you're on your way And you'll be coming home, home to me
Night time isn't clear to me I find nothing near to me Don't know what to do but I come to When it's early in the morning Very, very early without warning I came Feel a newly born vibration Sneaking up on me again There's a song bird on my pillow I can see the fun in weeping willow I can see the sun You're on your way and you'll be coming Home, home with me
My Lonely Sad Eyes Composer(s): Van Morrison Originally performed by: Them Covered by: Maria McKee; Bobby Patterson
Fill me my cup And I'll drink your sparkling wine Pretending everything is fine 'till I see your sad eyes
Throw me a kiss Across a crowded room Some sunny wind-swept afternoon Is none too soon for me to miss My sad eyes Whoa my sad eyes Are glad eyes, but you my sad eyes
Fortunate and free And there go you and I Between the under sky But who are you and I To wonder why we do so? My sad eyes Lonely
Oh what a story The moon and all it's glory This time I sing it everthing For you my sad eyes
You better fill me my cup And I'll drink your sparklin' wine Pretendin' everything is fine 'till I see your sad eyes Whoa, my sad eyes Are glad eyes Is what you, my sad eyes Lonely, sad eyes Ooo
Gota A Gota Composer(s): Miguel Bosé; L. Ferrario; M. Grilli Performer(s): Miguel Bosé
Dicen que pronto a la capital traerán el mar madriterráneo gota a gota gota a gota
y han publicado que el pirineo que se fugó vive en canarias llegó de paso llegó de paso
Si la noticia no me engaña Badajoz será una isla del nuevo trópico del nuevo trópico
Anunciarán mañana mismo que en La Coruña hay un desierto de mejillones de mejillones
Y entonces quien pensaba qué o suponía qué no podrán más peros y quien lo imaginó o nunca lo negó ya no dudará Y venga fiesta y confusión que esta información es la que va a misa Y quien quiera saber no ha de conocer nunca la verdad Un gota a gota agota Un gota a gota agota
Dicen que diga que no he dicho que la Giralda va a ser madre ay! qué penalty ay! qué penalty
Cuentan fiscales nocturnos que soñar se hará muy caro tendrá un impuesto tendrá un impuesto
Tellement Bu, Tellement Fumé Composer(s): Joe Dassin - Claude Lemesle - Pierre Delanoë First release by: Joe Dassin - 1979
Je n'me souviens même pas de la couleur de ses yeux Je crois bien qu'ils était verts, j'parie qu'ils étaient bleus Je me rappelle seulement que je les aimais Tellement bu, tellement fumé
Dans ma mémoire brouillard, je ne retrouve plus son prénom Dans mes idées fumées j'fais à peine son brouillon Je n'sais plus c'qu'elle disait, sauf que j'y ai cru Tellement fumé, tellement bu
L'oubli ça tient à quoi? Des glaçons dans un verre Un halo de tabac Dansant dans la lumière Ca tient à rien du tout, l'oubli C'est comme la vie
Je revois vaguement un studio mal meublé Mais qui pourrait me dire la couleur du papier? Y'avait sûrement un lit, puisqu'on s'est aimé Tellement bu, tellement fumé
L'oubli ça tient à qui? Une inconnue qui passe Qui s'égare une nuit Au fond de mon impasse L'oubli ça tient à rien du tout Mais pas à nous
Une fugue en Normandie, pour arroser le beau temps Un retour à Paris, je n'sais plus trop comment Sauf la vague impression que c'était foutu Tellement fumé, tellement bu
Qu'est-ce que je suis con d'avoir déchiré sa photo J'aimerais bien la revoir, j'ai plus son numéro De toute façon je n'sais plus téléphoner Tellement bu, tellement fumé
My Little Town Composer(s): Paul Simon Performer(s): Simon & Garfunkel and various other artists
In my little town I grew up believ--ing God keeps His eye on us all And He used to lean upon me As I pledged allegiance to the wall Lord I recall My little town
Coming home after school Flying my bike past the gates Of the factories My mom doing the laundry Hanging our shirts In the dirty breeze
And after it rains There's a rainbow And all of the colors are black It's not that the colors aren't there It's just imagin-ation they lack
Everything's the same Back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town
In my little town I never meant nothin' I was just my fathers son Saving my money Dreaming of glory Twitching like a finger On the trigger of a gun
Leaving nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town Nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town
Got You On My Mind Composer(s): Howard Biggs; Joe "Cornbread" Thomas Performer(s): Eric Clapton; and various other artists
I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name Tears begin to fall every time I hear your name But since you went away, nothing seems to be the same
No matter how I try My heart just don't see why I can't forget you If ever it should be You want to come back to me You know I'd let you
I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
Chorus
I've got you on my mind, I'm feeling kind of sad and low Got you on my mind, feeling kind of sad and low I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go I'm wondering where you are, wondering why you had to go
Tell Your Story (Sing Your Song) Composer(s): Chris Farlowe Performer(s): Atomic Rooster
Tell your story, sing your song Can't you see I'm flying Through the mountains, to the sun Catch the daylight dying Tell your story, sing your song Fortune's wheel is turning Time will pass, and you'll be gone Teach the life you're learning
Tell your story, sing your song Catch me quick, I'm leaving Silver sunflower trapped in space In the web I'm weaving Tell your story, sing your song Breaking through confusion Cut the knot of lights we've lit Life is an illusion
Tell your story, sing your song Can't you see I'm flying Through the mountains, to the sun Catch the daylight dying Tell your story, sing your song Fortune's wheel is turning Time will pass, and you'll be gone Teach the life you're learning
Tell your story, sing your song Catch me quick, I'm leaving Silver sunflower trapped in space In the web I'm weaving Tell your story, sing your song Breaking through confusion Cut the knot of lights we've lit Life is an illusion...
My Little Red Book Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David Originally performed by: Manfred Mann Covered by various other artists
I just got out my little red book The minute that you said goodbye I thumbed right through my little red book I wasn't gonna sit and cry And I went from A to Z I took out every pretty girl in town They danced with me and as I held them
All I did was talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you... oh, no...
There ain't no girl in my little red book Who could ever replace your charms And each girl in my little red book Knows you're the one I'm thinkin' of Oh won't you please come back Without your precious love I can't go on Where can love be I need you so much
All I did was talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you... oh, no...
Oh won't you please come back Without your precious love I can't go on It's haunting me I need you so much
All I did was talk and talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you All I did was talk and talk about you Hear your name and I'd start to cry There's just no getting over you... oh no
Got To Go Back Composer(s): Van Morrison Performer(s): Van Morrison
When I was a young boy Back in Orangefield I used to gaze out My classroom window and dream And then go home and listen to Ray sing "I believe to my soul" after school Oh that love that was within me You know it carried me through Well it lifted me up and it filled me Meditation contemplation too
Chorus: Oh we've got to go back Got to go back Got to go back Got to go back For the healing go on with the dreaming
Well there's people in the street And the summer's almost here We've got to go outside in the fresh air And breathe while it's still clear Breathe it in all the way down To your stomach too And breathe it out with a radiance into the nightime air
We've got to go back etc. etc...
Got my ticket at the airport Well I guess I've been marking time I've been living in another country That operates along entirely different lines Keep me away from porter or whiskey Don't play anything sentimental it'll make me cry I've got to go back my friend Is there really any need to ask why
Tell The Truth Composer(s): Lowman Pauling Performer(s): Ray Charles and multiple other artists

My Little Persian Rose Composer(s): Edgar Allan Woolf; Anatol Friedland Performer(s): Peerless Quartet
I've seen flowers rare growing everywhere but I've never seen a rose like you From your haunt if I could tear you right up on my heart I'd wear you and no one could ever share you, I would be so true But roses are like love and they fade as fast with all the storms that blow; love can't ever last I'll shield you from all harms I'm mad about your charms I'll hold you in my arms till all dangers passed
When the fall draws near and the world looks drear and the roses start to droop and fade I will wrap you completely in my loving arms so neatly that you'll keep on blooming sweetly so don't be afraid when winter comes along with its frost and snows and an icy blanket then over the world it throws Little "Bride-Rose" have no fear, for the spring will then be near to bring us rosebuds, dear little Persian Rose
My little Persian Rose, nobody knows how I love you Oh pretty flower, here in your bower, with love I'll shower you every hour a garden just for two I'm sure will do for me and you, Dearie I'm wild about you, can't live without you, my little Persian Rose
Got To Give It Up Composer(s): Marvin Gaye Performer(s): Marvin Gaye; and various other artists
I used to go out to parties And stand around 'Cause I was too nervous To really get down And my body yearned to be free So I got up on the floor and found Someone to choose me No more standin' along the side walls Now I've got myself together, baby And I'm havin' a ball Long as you prove it There's always a chance Somebody watches I'm gonna make romance With your body, ooo baby, you dance all night Get down and prove it, feel all right Keep on dancin' Got to give it up
Tell My Sister Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle

I'm not a cowboy, I've never been shot I'm not a convict I've never been caught Tell my sister To tell my mother I'm coming home Home alone
Sunday morning I boarded a plane Leaving London England In the pouring rain Tell my sister To tell my mother I'm coming home Home alone
Someday I'll be back again To that green and pleasant land Between the Channel and the sea Across the ocean, that's where I want to be
But until the, tie me to the ground I've got to let these weary bones rest From all that runnin' around Tell my sister To tell my mother I'm coming home Home alone
