Here ((Adapted from: Caro Nome (Maria Callas)) Composer(s): Giuseppe Verdi - Dorcas Cochran - Harold Grant Performer(s): Tony Martin



Here in this enchanted place
Here enclosed in your embrace
Here with you so near to me
Here is where I want to be

The world outside may be thrilled by
The treasures that people buy for gold
But I would rather be thrilled by
The treasures that I alone can hold

Here beside the warmth of you
Here within a dream for two
Here for all eternity
Here is where I want to be

(The world outside may be thrilled by
The treasures that people buy for gold)
But I would rather be thrilled by
The treasures that I alone can hold

Here beside the warmth of you
Here within a dream for two
Here for all eternity
Here is where I want to be

Para Llenarme De Ti


Para Llenarme De Ti
First performance by: Ramón - 2004



Se quedó llorando
llorando su pena
y bien sabe que es por ti
hoy su condena

Yo la quise tanto
era la sangre en mis venas
sin saber que eran de otro
sus lunas llenas

Y entre tu amor y su dolor
hay un lamento
me quemo a fuego lento
me quemo a fuego lento
pero mi pecho dijo adiós
y ahora de nuevo brilla el sol
porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón

Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti
mi refugio será tu cuerpo
y mi tierra tu vientre de trigo en flor

Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti
y mi caricia será tu aliento
y mi bandera la luz de tu dulce amor

Yo te voy a amar hasta el final
Yo te voy a dar todito mi amor
Y yo te voy a dar toda mi piel y mi vida
Todo por este amor por tu amor

Y yo te voy a amar te voy a amar sin medida
Y yo te voy a dar
Yo me juego hasta la vida por este amor, por este amor

Hoy es tan lejana
como huella en la arena
su recuerdo sabe a sal
y a hierbabuena

Tú me das la calma
en las noches de entrega
y nadie mas podrá borrar
tu piel de seda

Y entre tu amor y su dolor
hay un lamento
me quemo a fuego lento
me quemo a fuego lento
pero mi pecho dijo adiós
y ahora de nuevo brilla el sol
porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón

Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti
mi refugio será tu cuerpo
y mi tierra tu vientre de trigo en flor

Hoy me quedé vacío para llenarme de ti
y mi caricia será tu aliento
y mi bandera la luz de tu dulce amor

Yo te voy a amar te voy a amar sin medida
Yo te voy a dar para toda la vida
Yo te voy a dar todo lo que soy, todo por este amor
Yo te voy a amar te voy a dar
Yo te voy a amar todo por este amor
Yo te voy a amar yo te voy a amar
Yo te voy a dar
porque tú le has dado fuego a mi corazón

Her Town Too


Her Town Too
Composer(s): James Taylor; John David Souther; Waddy Wachtel
Performer(s): James Taylor



She's been afraid to go out
She's afraid of the knock on her door
There's always a shade of a doubt
She can never be sure
Who comes to call
Maybe the friend of a friend of a friend
Anyone at all
Anything but nothing again

It used to be her town
It used to be her town too
It used to be her town
It used to be her town too

Seems like even her old girlfriends
Might be talking her down
She's got her name on the grapevine
Running up and down the telephone line
Talking 'bout
Someone said, someone said
Something 'bout something else
Someone might have said about her
She always figured that they were her friends
But maybe they can live without her

It used to be her town
It used to be her town too
It used to be her town
It used to be her town too

Well people got used to seeing them both together
But now he's gone and life goes on
Nothing lasts forever, oh no
She gets the house and the garden
He gets the boys in the band
Some of them his friends
Some of them her friends
Some of them understand
Lord knows that this is just a small town city
Yes and everyone can see you fall
It's got nothing to do with pity
I just wanted to give you a call

It used to be your town
It used to be my town too
You never know till at all falls down
Somebody loves you
Somebody loves you

Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year


Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
First performance/First recording by: Deanna Durbin/Percy Faith - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists



January and Februay were never so empty and grey
Tragic'lly I feel like crying
Without you, my darling, I'm dying
But let's rather put it this way

Spring will be a little late this year
A little late arriving in my lonely world over here
For you have left me and where is our April of old
You have left me and Winter continues cold

As if to say.......
Spring will be a little slow to start
A little slow reviving music it made in my heart
Yes, time heals all things, so I needn't cling to this fear
It's merely that Spring will be a little late this year

Her Story


Her Story
Composer(s): General; Strike; Goldman;
Solomon; David Cunningham
Performer(s): The Flying Lizards



Knights in shiny armour
Always takes the key
History, history, hypocricy
But you can still make money
By singing sweet songs of love

(chorus):
I own you
You don't own me
You are my territory
This is a love song
This is a love song

I blame our books
I blame the TV
I blame top twenty for my jealousy
But you can still make money
By singing sweet songs of love

Nanana


Nanana
Composer(s): Martin Štibernik - Karmen Stavec
First performance by: Karmen - 2003



It was a warm midsummer night
He just came, made me feel alright
For one look (Yeah, he's got the look)
For one touch (She really wanted him so much)
Then he grabbed his old guitar, began to play

He sang to me: "Nana nanana"
So naturally it set my heart on fire
He truly was my one desire
Oh baby, how he was, nana nanana

He sang to me: "Nana nanana"
My God, he couldn't get me any higher
Was not supposed to be a liar
But babe, that's what he was, nana nanana

What a warm midsummer night
I just wanted him to hold me real tight
For one look (Yeah, he's got the look)
For one touch (She really wanted him so much)
Then he grabbed his old guitar, began to play

He sang to me: "Nana nanana"
So naturally it set my heart on fire
He truly was my one desire
Oh baby, how he was, nana nanana

He sang to me: "Nana nanana"
My God, he couldn't get me any higher
Was not supposed to be a liar
But babe, that's what he was, nana nanana

For one look, for one touch
Then he grabbed his old guitar, began to play

He sang to me: "Nanana"
He sang to me: "Nana nanana"
So naturally it set my heart on fire
He truly was my one desire
Oh baby, how he was, nana nanana

He sang to me: "Nana nanana"
My God, he couldn't get me any higher
Was not supposed to be a liar
But babe, that's what he was, nana nanana

Was not supposed to be a liar
But baby, how he was

Spring Vacation


Spring Vacation
Composer(s): Black Oak Arkansas
Performer(s): Black Oak Arkansas



Spring days to summer days
the heat wave is here
let's run free you and me
it's that time of the year

Birds swoon and flowers bloom
it's time to mate if it ain't too late
on summer beaches women teach us
that in heat we all relate, all relate

Less clothes on women
from the warm skies of heaven
the season of creation
comes with spring vacation

Clubs are rockin', everybodies hoppin'
there are parties all over town
don't matter who you are, if you haven't got a car
you can hitch to get around - get around

Get out of the house have some fun
burn your skin in the summer sun
I'm happy now that winter's done
cause now I'm free, free to run

Less clothes on women
from the warm skies of heaven
the season of creation
comes with spring vacation

I tell ya that there's much anticipation
yes for nature's chain reaction
and it comes with spring vacation
all across the nation

Her Favorite Style


Her Favorite Style
Composer(s): Doug Ingle
Performer(s): Iron Butterfly



Exciting were her eyes
And refreshing was her smile

So loving was her attitude she maintained all the while

She reaped in her softness which created a gentle mood
And if I ever felt hunger, she would hand me a bit of food

Ah true, she was exciting
Refreshing and loving
And still found a way in which she maintained all the while
That was her faith
That was her favorite style
That was her favorite style

And it's plain to see that you can rescue me
Rescue me

There by your side

Henry's Made A Lady Out of Lizzie


Henry's Made A Lady Out of Lizzie
Composer(s): Walter O'Keefe



Have you seen her
Ain't she great?
She's something you'll appreciate
I'm sure you understand just what I mean
Ev'ry body, everywhere, is falling for her now
I'm talking 'bout the new Ford and boy it's sure a wow!
When you see her
You'll agree
She's just the one for you and me
She's everything that any one could ask
"Sit tin' pretty yes I am
With her I'm always found
You "ought ta" see her Chassis, it's sure the best a round

Talk of this and talk of that
Boys you must take off your hat
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Has she plenty, has she much?
Got the "tin" you love to touch
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
They used to park her in a lot
For that they charged two bits
But now they charge you nothing
And you park her at the Ritz
She once had rattles in her wheel
But now she's full of "sex appeal"
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

She's like all the other vamps
Pretty shape and lovely lamps
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Since she's taken on some weight
Honest, folks, she's looking great
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Her dashboard has a clock
That's a hit with all the Scotch
A Scotchman saw the clock
And promptly stopped his watch
You've all heard the Frenchman song
Fifty million cant be wrong
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

Just a girl who knows her stuff
Plenty fast but never rough
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Always tidy, always clean
Faithful as an old Marine
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
She's not the kind who tries to get
Your money all at once
She only wants ten dollars down
The rest in fourteen months
Good for sister, nice for ma
Ev'rybody rides but Pa
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

Ev'ry groom and blushing bride
Now enjoy their buggy ride
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
No one curses, no one swears
Lizzie never needs repairs
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
She used to kick and jump around
On ev'ry trolley track
But now she's very ladylike
And never answers back
She will surely catch your eye
You know salesmen never lie
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

No more chug chug chug chug-bang!
No more cuss words, no more slang
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Not the noisy flapper kind
Simply quiet and refined
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
They used to say "We own a car
It looks like one I mean"
But now they say, "I'll have you know
We own a Ford machine"'
No more playing Jack and Jill
No more tumbling down the hill
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

When she's coming down the street
All the boys say "Ain't she sweet"?
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Every man will go for her
She's the kind that men prefer
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!
Why even Thomas Edison
The wizard that he is
Could not resist her charms
And was the first to take out "Liz"
He said "She's Okay to me
All she needs is company"
Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie!

Spring Rain


Spring Rain
Composer(s): Fay Tishman
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Tears at seventeen
Are only spring rain
(You`re just seventeen)

Go ahead and cry

True love will
Come to you again
(Seventeen)

Each little shower
Helps a little flower
Like you to grow

It hurts, I know
To find the wrong ways
That love can go

Tears at anytime
Can do a good thing
(It might do you good)

Dry your pretty eyes
There`s more than
One spring (dry your eyes)

When you`re older
You`re gonna say
That all this anguish
And pain of being seventeen
Was only spring rain

Ten and seven years
May seem the worst time
(You wait, time will tell)
Don`t you waste your tears
On love the first time
(Save your tears)

When you`re older
You`re gonna say
That all this anguish
And pain of being seventeen
Was only spring rain

(Just spring rain)
Just spring rain

Where have you been all the day, Henry my son?
Where have you been all the day, my currant bun?
In the woods, dear mother
In the woods, dear mother
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

What did you do in the woods all day, Henry my boy?
What did you do in the woods all day, my saveloy?
Ate, dear mother
Ate, dear mother
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

What did you eat in the woods all day, Henry my son?
What did you eat in the woods all day, my pretty one?
Eels, dear mother
Eels, dear mother
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

What color were those eels, Henry my boy?
What color were those eels, my pride and joy
Green and yeller
Green and yeller
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

Those eels were snakes, Henry my son
Those eels were snakes, my pretty one
Urgh, dear mother
Urgh, dear mother
Mother be quick I got to be sick and lay me down to die

Henry Lee


Henry Lee
Composer(s): Nick Cave
Performer(s): Nick Cave



Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee
Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Henry Joy


Henry Joy
Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers



An Ulsterman I am proud to be
From the Antrim Glens I come
Although I labour by the sea
I have followed flag and drum
I have heard the martial tramp of men
I've seen them fight and die
Ah, lads, I well remember when
I followed Henry Joy

I pulled my boat up from the sea
I hid my sails away
I hung my nets on a greenwood tree
And I scanned the moonlit bay
The boys were out, and the Redcoats too
I kissed my wife goodbye
And in the shade of the greenwood glade
I followed Henry Joy"
In Antrim town the tyrant stood
He tore our ranks with ball
But with a cheer and a pike to clear
We swept them o'er the wall
Our pikes and sabres flushed that day
We won, but lost, ah, why?
No matter lads, I fought beside
And shielded Henry Joy

Ah, boys, for Ireland's cause we fought
For her and home we bled
Though our pikes were few still our hearts beat true
And five to one lay dead
And many a lassie mourned her lad
And mother mourned her boy
For youth was strong in that gallant throng
Who followed Henry Joy

Eighties Coming Back


Eighties Coming Back
Composer(s): Vaiko Eplik
First performance by: Ruffus - 2003



You thought you had it coming
But now you really, really just don't know
It seems you make a deal far too big outta this

Aha, you thought that you'd done it
Yeah, you thought that you had heard it all
But the state of things is putting you down now
Just because, whoah...

You know they say it's just the eighties coming back
Can you feel it's the eighties coming back?
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

You said let's do it
Let's take it out and dance all night
But those deep synthesizer sounds freak you out
Whoah...

And now you wake up in the middle of the night
In terror, all you do is cry
Cold sweat, a cup of tea, no nothing seems to help you
Through the night, my God

Now, it feels just like the eighties coming back
Can you feel it's the eighties coming back?
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

Yeah, you thought you had it coming
But now it looks like you didn't know this
But everybody's wearing their hair
The way you did fifteen years ago
And it makes you wanna cry

Oh, it feels just like the eighties coming back
Can you feel it? It's the eighties coming back
Yeah, I know it's just the eighties coming
Eighties coming, eighties coming
Eighties coming back

Henry Hudson


Henry Hudson
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



White light lays above
The Henry Hudson riverbank
And you will see a lady standing
Stealing past a happy ending
Staring at the happy landing

Her heart beats loud and fast
Her love looks like a broken glass

White light lays above
The riverbank
A sinking ship has brought the light
Upon the land
And Henry Hudson knows not where
The lady's standing

A lonely shoulder must grow older
Waiting on the riverbank

Spring Is Here


Spring Is Here
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart - Richard Rodgers
First performance/First recording by: Dennis King & Vivienne Segal/Frank Sinatra - 1938/1947
Covered by multiple other artists



Once there was a thing called spring
When the world was writing verses
Like yours and mine
All the lads and girls would sing
When we sat at little tables
And drank May wine
Now April, May and June
Are sadly out of tune
Life has stuck the pin in the balloon

Spring is here!
Why doesn't my heart go dancing?
Spring is here!
Why isn't the waltz entrancing?
No desire
No ambition leads me
Maybe it's because
Nobody needs me
Spring is here!
Why doesn't the breeze delight me?
Stars appear!
Why doesn't the night invite me?
Maybe it's because
Nobody loves me
Spring is here, I hear!
