Sunshine Of Your Smile Composer(s): Larry Ray - Lawrence Cooke Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me Were you not mine, how dark this world would be I know no light above that could replace Love's radiant sunshine in your lovely face
Give me a smile, the love-light in your eyes Life could not hold a sweeter paradise Give me the right to love you all the while My world forever, the sunshine of your smile
Shadows may fall across the land and sea Sunshine from all the world may hidden be But I shall see no clouds across the sun Your smile shall light my life till life is done
Give me a smile, the love-light in your eyes Life could not hold a sweeter paradise Give me the right to love you all the while My world forever, the sunshine of your smile My world forever, the sunshine of your smile
Come Dancing Composer(s): Ray Davies Originally performed by: The Kinks Covered by various other artists
They put a parking lot on a piece of land Right where the super market used to stand Before that, they put up a bowling alley On the site that used to be the local Pali That's where the big bands used to come and play My sister went there on a Saturday
Come dancing! All her boyfriends used to come and call Come dancing! It's only natural........
Another Saturday, another date She would be ready but she'd always make him wait In the hallway in anticipation He didn't know the night would end up in frustration He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek
Come dancing! Come on, Sister! Have yourself a ball! Don't be afraid to come dancing! It's only natural........
My sister should have come in at midnight And my mom would always sit up and wait It always ended up in a big row When my sister used to get home late
Out in the moonlight, I could see them in the darkness Two silhouettes, saying goodnight by the garden gate
The day they knocked down the Pali My sister stood and cried The day they knocked down the Pali My sister's childhood died.....(just died)
And now I'm grown up and playing in a band And there's a car lot where the Pali used to stand My sister's married and she lives on an estate She's two grown daughters, now it's her turn to wait She lets them get away with things she never could But if I asked her, I wonder if she would......
Come dancing! Just like the Pali on a Saturday Why not come dancing? Where the big bands used to play ........
Rio Composer(s): Michael Nesmith Performer(s): Michael Nesmith
I'm hearing the light from the window I'm seeing the sound of the sea My feet have come loose from their moorings I'm feeling quite wonderfully free And I think I will travel to Rio Using the music for flight There's nothing I know of in Rio But it's something to do with the night It's only a whimsical notion To fly down to Rio tonight I probably won't fly down to Rio But then again I just might
There's wings to the thought behind fancy There's wings to the thought behind play And dancing to rhythms of laughter Makes laughter the rhythm of rain So I think I will travel to Rio Using the music for flight There's nothing I know of in Rio But it's something to do with the night It's only a whimsical notion To fly down to Rio tonight And I probably won't fly down to Rio But then again I just might
Spoken: "This is the first call for Flight 77 to Rio de Janeiro Now boarding at Gate 17, this is the first call"
I feel such a sense of well-being The problems have come to be solved And what I thought was proper for battle I see now is proper for love So I think I will travel to Rio Using the music for flight There's nothing that I know of in Rio But it's something to do with the night It's only a whimsical notion To fly down to Rio tonight And I probably won't fly down to Rio But then again I just might
I think I will travel to Rio Using the music for flight There's nothing I know of in Rio But it's something to do with the night It's only a whimsical notion To fly down to Rio tonight And I probably won't fly down to Rio But then again I just might
Reno? Why Reno? Not Reno dummy Rio, Rio de Janeiro

The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray The sun has got his hat on and hes coming out today Now well all be happy, hip-hip-hip-hooray The sun has got his hat on and hes coming out today
Hes been tanning niggers out in Timbuktu Now hes coming back to do the same to you So jump into your sunbath, hip-hip-hip-hooray The sun has got his hat on and hes coming out today
All the little birds are singing All the little gnats are stinging All the little bees in twos and threes Buzzing in the sun all day

All the boys excited All the little girls delighted What a lot of fun for everyone Sitting in the sun all day
Come Dance With Me Composer(s): Tony Powers; M. Maurer Performer(s): Jay & the Americans
Don't turn away; put him down, turn around and dance with me Do like I say, don't you go; tell him no and dance with me He may have walked you through the door And he may be planning a whole lot more But I'm gonna swing you 'round this floor; come dance with me
Look him straight in his eyes, put him wise and come on and dance with me I'll sit and wait till you do; when you're through, come dance with me Just 'cause he spent the dime to phone ya And 20 bucks for the time he's shown ya That doesn't give him the right to own ya; dance with me
I'm not the kind of guy who'd steal a fella's girl But baby, your feet I need And after taking just one look at you I've turned into an ever-loving deed, aye!
You come into my arms, say goodbye to the guy and dance with me Leave all your charms in my care, take your dare and dance with me He may have brought you here, all right Thinking he'd get to hold you tight But you're gonna leave with me tonight, come dance with me
He may have brought you here, all right Thinking he'd get to hold you tight But you're gonna leave with me tonight, come dance with me

Ohohoh...
In m'n dromen Vlieg ik als op vleugels Door de lucht naar Rio de Janeiro 't Gaat gebeuren En op slag wordt alles zo plezant Vol kleuren en vol geuren
Carnaval met jou, wij samen Tussen duizenden lichamen Die dansen, als in een trance Wat zijn we toch gelukkig Dat we zo goed kunnen dromen allebei
In jouw dromen Vliegen wij direct naar 't paradijs In Rio de Janeiro We zeggen cheerio En we slapen in het veld We leven altijd zonder geld Maar hier van binnen rijk tegelijk
Ohohoh in m'n dromen Laat ik al het grauwe hier En ga naar Rio de Janeiro 't Gaat gebeuren En op slag wordt alles zo plezant Vol kleuren en vol geuren
En we doen alsof het echt is Dat de wereld niet zo slecht is En we dansen, als in een trance Tussen al die mensen die we maar verzinnen Maar ze zingen in ons hoofd
Hey Rio Rio de Janeiro Ohohoh...
En we doen alsof het echt is Dat de wereld niet zo slecht is En we dansen, als in een trance Tussen al die mensen die we maar verzinnen Maar ze zingen in ons hoofd

Oh in m'n dromen Vlieg ik als op vleugels Door de lucht naar Rio de Janeiro 't Gaat gebeuren En op slag wordt alles zo plezant Vol kleuren en vol geuren Oh Rio Ohohoh Rio

Just sittin' here hungry and ain't got a dime Lord, look like my friends would come to see poor me sometime 'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven Mama, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
When I was in jail, expecting a fine When I went 'fore the judge, not a friend could I find 'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven Woman, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Lord, I lost my father and my brother, too That's why you hear me singing; Lord, I'm lonesome and blue 'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven Mama, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Cried aloud, Lord, Lordy, Lord Now, I used to be your regular, woman, now I got to be your dog 'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven Woman, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Lord, I'm in trouble, no one to pay my fine Lord, when I get out of this county jail, I'm gonna leave this town of mine 'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven Mama, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Lord, I've been droven from door to door Now, it look like my friends don't want me around no more 'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven Woman, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
I was with my buddy through thick and thin Lord, my buddy got away, but I got in 'Cause it doesn't matter who, Lord of Heaven Mama, the sun gonna shine in my door someday
Come Closer To Me Composer(s): Osvaldo Farrés; Stewart Performer(s): Nat King Cole
and various other artists
Moonlight was made for a June night And June nights were made, dear for love and romance For heavenly kisses, for lips sweet and tender On this night of splendour You're so far away
Come closer to me so I can see heaven in your eyes Come closer to me so I can be close to Paradise
Thrill me with your kisses Let me learn what bliss is Kiss me once and then we'll kiss and kiss again And life will be divine
Come closer my dear So I can hear music in my heart I've waited so long to hear the song that youre love will start
Darling I'll adore you Live my life just for you All I ask is this please give me one more kiss and whisper you'll be mine
The Sun Goes Down Composer(s): Phil Lynott - Darren Wharton First release by: Thin Lizzy - 1983
There is a demon among us whose soul belongs in hell Sent here to redeem us, she knows it all to well He comes and goes, he comes and goes, she knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down
She tries her best to leave him, but she is still captured by his spell She knows now she must deceive him, he knows it all to well She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down
She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down
There is a demon within us The sun goes down She tries her best to deceive him The sun goes down
Come By Sunday Composer(s): Murray Grand Performer(s):Diana Dors and various other artists
I may be workin' Monday night
And Tuesday might not be quite right
So, come by Sunday, Sunday night I'm free
Come by Sunday and spend some time with me

And Thursday nights are taffy pull

And Saturday I fall about
So, come by Sunday. make it after three
Come by Sunday and spend some time with me

For six long days I go like mad, the seventh day I stay in bed
The whole week through I'm on the town, but Sunday always gets me down
So, come by Sunday. make it after three
Come by Sunday, spend some time
Come by Sunday and stay awhile
Come by Sunday and spend some time with me
Rings Composer(s): Eddie Reeves; Alex Harvey Performer(s): Cymarron; and various other artists
Ring Ring telephone ring Somebody said "Baby whatcha doing?" I've been wondering how you've been every now and then I think about you and me
No use fighting 'bout things we can't recall it don't matter now at all baby come on home and maybe we'll laugh and sing we'll make love, and let the telephone ring
Ring Ring doorbell ring Baby come on in I got James Taylor on the radio I'm glad you came around Been feeling down talking to Tony and Mario
You know they make good conversation Still it ain't no consolation Baby I got love And maybe I'll give you some and if somebody comes we'll let the doorbell ring
Ring Ring golden ring Around the sun, around your pretty finger Ring Ring let the voices ring with a happy tune anybody can be a singer
The sun comes up across the city I swear you never looked so young and pretty Hand in hand
We'll stand upon the sand with the preacher man Let the wedding bells ring and let the telephone ring and let the doorbell ring

The sun died The sun died, with my love When you left me blue, the summer died too My love and the sun, it's the same
The sun died The sun died, with my love And I'm so alone, and yet life goes on But for me, there can be no more dawn
Yesterday, the coldest winter was like Spring I thought my love would always stay I thought our love would never end But that was yesterday
The sun died The sun died, with my love And life's all in vain, in my heart there's rain And I know that my soul won't stop crying
Yesterday, when I was looking in your eyes I thought it was sweet paradise For love completely changed my life But that was yesterday
The sun died The sun died, with my love When you left me blue, the summer died too My love and the sun, it's the same My love and the sun, it's the same

Come back when you grow up, girl You're still livin' in a paper-doll world Livin' ain't easy, lovin's twice as tough So come back, baby, when you grow up
You look real good like a woman now Your mind hasn't gotten the message somehow So if you can't take it 'n' the goin' gets rough Come back, baby, when you grow up
I want you girl but your wide-eyed innocence Has really messed up my mind, yeah-eah-eah I'd rather you get your very first heartbreak Somewhere else along the line
Come back when you grow up, girl You're still livin' in a paper-doll world Some day be a woman ready to love Come back, baby, when you grow up
Come back when you grow up, girl You've still got a lotta time left in the world You'll some day be a woman ready to love Come back, baby, when you grow up
Ringo Composer(s): Hal Blair; Don Robertson Performer(s): Lorne Greene; and various other artists
He lay face down in the desert sand Clutching his six-gun in his hand Shot from behind, I thought he was dead But under his heart was an ounce of lead But a spark still burned so I used my knife And late that night I saved the life of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
I nursed him till the danger passed The days went by, he mended fast Then from dawn till setting sun He practised with that deadly gun And hour on hour I watched in awe No human being could match the draw of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
One day we rode the mountain crest And I went east and he went west I took to law and wore a star While he spread terror near and far With lead and blood he gained such fame All through the West they feared the name of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
I knew someday I'd face the test Which one of us would be the best And sure enough the word came down That he was holed up in the town I left the posse out in the street And I went in alone to meet Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
They said my speed was next to none But my lightning draw had just begun When I heard a blast that stung my wrist The gun went flying from my fist And I was looking down the bore Of the deadly .44 of Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
They say that was the only time That anyone had seen him smile He slowly lowered his gun and then He said to me "We're even, friend" And so at last I understood That there was still a spark of good in Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
I blocked the path of his retreat He turned and stepped into the street A dozen guns spit fire and lead A moment later, he lay dead The town began to shout and cheer Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo
(Ringo ... Ringo ...)
The story spread throughout the land That I had beaten Ringo's hand And it was just the years, they say That made me put my guns away But on his grave they can't explain The tarnished star above the name of Ringo

Loneliness is the cloak you wear A deep shade of blue is always there The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky The tears are always clouding your eyes When you're without love... ba-a-a-a-by
Emptiness is the place you're in Nothing to lose but no more to win The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky The tears are always clouding your eyes When you're without love

The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky The tears are always clouding your eyes The tears are always clouding your eyes (Sun ain't gonna shine anymore) When you're without love... ba-a-a-a-by
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The sun ain't gonna shine anymore The sun ain't gonna shine anymore...

Sunlight dances on the sea Tender thoughts occur to me I have often seen your eyes In the nighttime when I dream When I pass a garden fair And the scent is in the air In my mind a dream awakes And my heart begins to break But you said goodbye to me Now all I can do is grieve Can it be that you forgot? Darling forget me not! Please don't say farewell And leave this heart that's broken Come back to Sorrento So I can mend

Ich bau dir ein Schloss, so wie im Märchen Da wohn ich mit dir, dann ganz allein Ich bau dir ein Schloss, wenn ich einst gross bin da kannst du dort wohn und glücklich sein
Der blaue Himmel schaut auf uns herab sagt dir jeden Tag, wie lieb ich Dich hab Und alle Wolken zieh'n so schnell vorbei am Traumschloss für uns zwei
Ich bau dir ein Schloss, du wirst schon sehen bald bin ich schon gross, dann zieh'n wir ein Wo Blumen für Dich im Garten stehen da wird jeder Tag ein Sonntag sein
Der blaue Himmel schaut auf uns herab sagt dir jeden Tag, wie lieb ich Dich hab Und alle Wolken zieh'n so schnell vorbei am Traumschloss für uns zwei am Traumschloss für uns zwei
