There's An Island
Composer(s): Meshel - Welch - Gilutin
Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck



In the pictures that I saw
It looked so pretty
But that's before I lived here
In the city
But there's money to be made
And girl, that's why we stayed
Now it won't be long
Until we're on our way

There's an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

Girl, we have a dream
Let's not forsake it
Help me find the strength
And we can make it
To where the water's sweet as wine
And it's sunny all the time
And it won't be long until
It's yours and mine

There's an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

We will be there, you and me there

On an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

On an island in the sun
Shines its light on every one
And the sky's painted blue
Instead of gray
There's an island where I know
We can find the room to grow
And that island's where I'm taking you some day

Come here girls and listen to my noise
Don't you marry an Arkansas boy
Marry a feller from Tennessee, eat
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea

Traveled all over this whole wide world
Eat a lotta cookin' from a lotta pretty girls
But there's none like Tennessee
With cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea

Grandpa Snazzy lives on the hill
He ain't never died and I guess he never will
The neighbors all around say he's ninety three
The old man's happy as he can be eatin'
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea

Old Uncle Jim on his dyin' bed
He called 'em all around and then he said
My last request just let it be
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, 'lasses and sassafras tea

Come here girls and listen to my noise
Don't you marry an Arkansas boy
Marry a feller from Tennessee eat
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea
Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea

Cornbread, and 'lasses and sassafras tea

Runnin' Down A Dream
Composer(s): Mike Campbell; Jeff Lynne; Tom Petty
Performer(s): Tom Petty



It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'

Chorus: 
Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible 
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was un-stoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

Chorus

I rolled on; the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waiting down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever is mine

Chorus

Brian Setzer; The Top Cats



Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and Dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffle bag
shoutin' as ya slam the door home is a drag

Who can I turn to and where can I stay?
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job
Go into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same

Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy
Slip into the alley with the

Runaway boys

Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows, that's a crime!

There's Always Tomorrow 
Performer(s): Jack Buchanan



There’s always tomorrow to bring us a smile
Maybe we should borrow that thought for a while
For then we’ll both remember that life is but a game
We’ll fan the dying ember and coax it into flame

Tomorrow we’ll borrow a thought from a song
To capture the rapture of days that are gone
For when we’re reunited we’ll have a bit to say
Tomorrow was yesterday

Tomorrow was yesterday

I got a bird what whistles, baby got a bird
Honey got a bird ... it would sing, baby got a bird
Honey got a bird ... it would sing
Without my Corrina, sure don't mean ..., sure don't mean a natural thing

I learned to love you baby, honey for I call
Baby for I call your name, baby for I call
Honey for I call your name, I love you Corrina
It sure don't mean, it sure don't mean a natural thing

Have mercy, have mercy, baby on my hard luck
Honey on my hard luck soul, baby on my hard luck
Honey on my hard luck soul

I got a rainbow round my shoulder
Looks like silver, shines like Klondike1 gold

Well I love you honey, honey tell the world, baby tell the world I do
Honey tell the world I do, baby tell the world I do
Ain't no woman in fourteen counties, love me baby like the way I do

Running away
To get away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
You're wearing out your shoes

Looh at you fooling you!

Making blues of day and night
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee!
You're stretching out your dues

The shorter cut is quicker
But ... Ha! Ha! Time is here to stay! 
Look at you fooling you!

The deeper in debt
The harder you bet
Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee! 
Need more room to play! 
Look at you fooling you!

Another day
You're farther away
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
A longer trip back home!

There's A Village In A Valley
Composer(s): Mitchell Paris - Abner Silver
Performer(s): Sammy Kaye



There's a village in a valley
Down among the sleepy hills
Where we used to stroll along
And hear the song of whip-poor-wills
In that village in the valley
Once we parted in the rain
As we kissed, remember how we made a vow to meet again ?
Soon, my darling, the wedding bells will chime
From the chapel in apple blossom time

There's a village in a valley
There are roses 'round the door
Where the sky is blue above
We'll live and love forever more

Core, core 'ngrato...
T'hê pigliato 'a vita mia!
Tutto è passato...

First release by: Del Shannon - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong 
With our love, a love that was so strong 
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done 
Together, a-while our hearts were young 

I'm a-walkin' in the rain 
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain 
Wishin' you were here by me 
To end this misery 
And I wonder 
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder 
Why 
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away 
And I wonder where she will stay 
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway 

I'm a-walkin' in the rain 
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain 
Wishin' you were here by me 
To end this misery 
And I wonder 
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder 
Why 
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away 
And I wonder where she will stay 
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway 
A-run-run-run-run-runaway

There's A Tear In My Beer
Composer(s): Hank Williams
First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1951/1998



There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You are on my lonesome mind
Into these last nine beers
I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep drinkin' until I'm petrified
And then maybe these tears will leave my eyes

There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind

Last night I walked the floor, and the night before
You were on my lonely mind
It seems my life is through and I'm so goddam blue
You were on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep drinkin' till I can't move a toe
And then maybe my heart won't hurt me so

There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind

Lord, I've tried and I've tried
But my tears I can't hide
You were on my lonely mind

All these blues that I've found
Have really got me down
You are on my lonely mind

I'm gonna keep on drinkin' till I can't even think
'Cause in the last week I ain't slept a wink

There's a tear in my beer
'Cause I'm cryin' for you, dear
You were on my lonely mind 

Cordoba
Composer(s): Reginald Connelly; Enric Madriguera; Eddie Woods
Performer(s): Dalida



Là-bas, là-bas
À l'horizon lointain s'étend Cordoba
Entourée de jardins couronnée d'oiseaux fleuris de jasmin
Et de jets d'eau

Et je suis là
Pour te prouver qu'à mes premières amours je reviens toujours

Toi je sais bien que tu m'attends
Toi tu n'oublies pas nos vingt ans

Là-bas
Nous monterons les rues usées par les pas
Des amants qui s'aimaient tous à Cordoba

Là-bas
Sous le poids du soleil s'endort Cordoba
Tant d'étranges senteurs de cuir et de miel de poivre et de fleurs
Tandis qu'au ciel

Le jour se meurt
Et que dans l'ombre bleue s'appelle des voix
Se cherchent des cœurs

Toi nous revoici tous les trois
Toi notre amour et Cordoba

Tout bas
Pour me bercer ce soir au creux de tes bras
Chanteront les guitares de Cordoba
Là-bas, là-bas, là-bas

Runaround Sue
Composer(s): Ernie Maresca; Dion Dimucci
Performer(s): Dion - 1961



Here's my story, sad but true
It's about a girl that I once knew
She took my love then ran around
With every single guy in town
Ah, I should have known it from the very start
This girl will leave me with a broken heart
Now listen people what I'm telling you
Keep away from Run-around Sue

I miss her lips and the smile on her face
The touch of her hair and this girl's warm embrace
So if you don't want to cry like I do
Keep away from Run-around Sue

Ah, she likes to travel around
She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from Run-around Sue

She likes to travel around
She'll love you but she'll put you down
Now people let me put you wise
Sue goes out with other guys
Here's the moral and the story from the guy who knows
I fell in love and my love still grows
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they'll say
Keep away from Run-around Sue

Composer(s): Don Gibson
Performer(s): Dottie West & Don Gibson



There’s a story going round
I’ve heard it now all over town
The two of us, they say are through
And I’m afraid to ask of you

Is there a reason?
Is there a reason
For all the words they’re saying?
Should I forget
Say it’s just gossip
And let it pass right through my head?
Yes, there’s a story going round
Could it be true?
Should I ask you?
Or just pretend it wasn’t said

Is there a reason?
Is there a reason
For all the words they’re saying?
Should I forget
Say it’s just gossip
And let it pass right through my head?
Yes, there’s a story going round
Could it be true?
Should I ask you?
Or just pretend it wasn’t said

Yes, there’s a story going round...

Ninguém
Ninguém vai me segurar
Ninguém há de me fechar
As portas do coração
Ninguém
Ninguém vai me sujeitar
A trancar no peito a minha paixão

Eu não
Eu não vou desesperar
Eu não vou renunciar
Fugir
Ninguém
Ninguém vai me acorrentar
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Enquanto eu puder sorrir

Ninguém
Ninguém vai me ver sofrer
Ninguém vai me surpreender
Na noite da solidão 
Pois quem
Tiver nada pra perder
Vai formar comigo o imenso cordão

E então
Quero ver o vendaval
Quero ver o carnaval
Sair
Ninguém
Ninguém vai me acorrentar
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Enquanto eu puder sorrir
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Alguém vai ter que me ouvir
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Enquanto eu puder seguir
Enquanto eu puder cantar
Enquanto eu puder sorrir
