I Know Now
I Know Now
Composer(s): Al Dubin - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo
I know now, you're the only one
I know now, I'm the lonely one
I had to learn how a heart can yearn
How tears can burn, with on one to turn to
I know now, that I can't forget
I can't for I don't know how
I guess I never knew how I needed you
But sweetheart, I know now

If I Could Talk To The Animals
If I Could Talk To The Animals
From "Dr. Dolittle"
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah
What a neat achievement that would be
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Maybe take an animal degree
We'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle
Alligator, guinea pig, and flea
We would converse in polar bear and python
And we could curse in fluent kangaroo
If people asked us, can you speak in rhinoceros
We'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?"
If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Think of all the things we could discuss
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to us

Keep It Warm
Keep It Warm
Composer(s): Howard Kaylan; Mark Volman
Performer(s): The Turtles
Write another song for the money
Something they can sing, not so funny
Money in the bank to keep us warm
Stick another grape in the juicer
Or fill your guts with grease and get get looser
You are what you eat, so eat it warm
Roll another joint for the Gipper
Get the Gipper high, he gets hipper
Stick it in his mouth and keep him warm
Elect another jerk to the White House
Gracie Slick is losing her door mouse
Take her off the streets and keep her warm
Fight another war if they make you
Squeal on a friend or they'll take you
The future's in your lap, so keep it warm...
Warm, here in your arms
Safe from all harm, where I belong
Warm, cozy and calm, another
Dawn together warm....
My woodie's broken down by the beach now
And TM's gotten far out of reach now
Tell the Mahareesh to keep it warm
George is suing Paul, suing Ringo
and immigration wants John and Yoko
All they need is love, to keep them warm
Kill another whale with your power
Or shoot a bunch a kids from a tower
Snipe them in there cars
Blood keeps them warm
Or
Make a better world from the old one
Make yourself a baby and hold one
Hold her in your arms and keep her warm
Keep her warm,
Keep her warm
Keep her warm...........

I'd Like You For Christmas
I'd Like You For Christmas
Composer(s): Bobby Troup
Performer(s): Julie London
and multiple other artists
I'd like you for Christmas
Please make my wish come true
Cos I'd trim trees and deck the hallways
If I know you'd be mine for always
I won't be blue on Christmas
If old Saint Nick comes through
And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas
New Years, Easter, too...

If I Could Talk To Love
If I Could Talk To Love
Composer(s): Myrna Smith; Carl Wilson
Performer(s): Carl Wilson
(Have it your way)
We toy with love but we play the futile game
One heart giving all and the other feeling pain
I put myself into you hands-oo
From this moment on I make no demands
And if one could talk to love, I`d say
Have it your way love, have it your way
What us the sense in giving all you feel
If with it all you can`t make love know it`s real
Will love forever run from me-oo
If it`s to be, then it`s to be
But if I could talk to love, I`d say
Have it your way love, have it your way
Your way
I put myself into your hands
So have it your way love, have it your way
Oh--love--have it your way
It will happen--some what may
Love have it your way
There`s no other way to play
Love have it your way

Keep Me Cryin'
Keep Me Cryin'
Composer(s): Al Green; Willie Mitchell
Performer(s): Al Green
You keep me crying all the time
I have to say that you
Keep me crying all the time
Well, I tried to play my music
But my music was too loud
Well, I pleased all the people
But I couldn`t please the crowd
And I dropped down on my knees
And said, hey, mama
Won`t you clear my head
Don`t you know they
Keep me crying all the time
They keep me crying all the time
Oh, Lord, don`t you know they
They keep me moaning all the time
They keep me burning all the time
Well, I tried
To run my business
But they said I can`t
Just keep it to myself
Not bothering any man
Just as sure as I try
Cause my tears in my eye
Don`t you know they
Keep me crying all the time
They keep me crying all the time
Friends knocking on my door
They keep me crying
Somebody calling on the phone and
They keep me crying...

It's A Breeze
It's A Breeze
Composer(s): Joe Kentridge
Performer(s): Matt Monro
When you hear a band that's swinging
Or you dig Sinatra singing
When the duke is highland flinging
It's a breeze
If you're in the opera set
Go to first nights at the Met
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
It's a breeze
When you're in a jet high flying
Or you've backed a horse that's trying
If the fish you've caught is frying
It's a breeze
When you've slammed a hole in one
Bagged a tiger with your gun
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
It's a breeze
A trip to Europe on the liner France
A holiday
Another new romance
But
If it's love you've really craving
With a home a hearth a haven
Then it's time you started saving
It's a breeze
When the jackpot you have hit
And you tell your boss I quit
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
It's a breeze
When you're sailing on the Med in your new yacht
You couldn't give a damn
No matter what
But
When you've found the ball is over
And you're tired of being a rover
And you still can live in clover
It's a breeze
When you dig a chick that's got it
And the marriage ties' been knotted
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
It's a breeze

If I Could Reach You
If I Could Reach You
Composer(s): Randy McNeill
Performer(s): The Fifth Dimension
and multiple other artists
Oh no, don't go it's hours till dawn
And there's no one who'd rather be with you
I know you know other girls like me
I let you take my love
Knowing you don't love me
But if I could reach you some way
If I knew the magic it would take
To love you good enough on the outside
And make you feel it on the inside
Maybe I could make you stay
If I could reach you
The dark is getting light
And you're dressed to go
And never said a word about tomorrow
But if I could reach you some way
If I knew the magic it would take
To love you good enough on the outside
And make you feel it on the inside
Maybe I could make you stay

Keep Me From Blowing Away
Keep Me From Blowing Away
Composer(s): Paul Craft
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt; T. Graham Brown;
Jerry Lee Lewis; The Seldom Scene; Charlie Sizemore
Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away
There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face
Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

It's Funny To Everyone But Me
It's Funny To Everyone But Me
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): The Ink Spots
and multiple other artists
It's funny how you loved me, then forgot so suddenly
It's funny to everyone but me
(It's the talk of the town)
They told me this would happen, now they're laughing secretly
It's funny to everyone but me
(gosh, he's crying again)
I should shrug my shoulders and say, good riddance to a bad affair
But how can I do, but my head tells me to
When my heart tells me how much I care?
It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century
It's funny to everyone but me
(I got the right to think of you)
It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century
Ah but it's funny to everyone but me

If I Could Only Win Your Love
If I Could Only Win Your Love
Composer(s): Ira Louvin; Charlie Louvin
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
and multiple other artists
If I could only win your love
I'd make the most of everything
I'd proudly wear your wedding ring
My heart would never stray when you're away
If I could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love
Oh how can I ever say
How I crave your love when your gone away
Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight
If I could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love
Oh how can I ever say
How I crave your love when your gone away
Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight
If I could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love

Keep Me From Harm
Keep Me From Harm
Composer(s): Peter Murphy; Paul Statham
Performer(s): Peter Murphy
Health is all I'm asking for
Love is all I need
Hope is what I'm asking for
Lay me down to sleep
It was then that I lost you
Was dragged there too
Under a sea of mystery
Died there along with you
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Guess you found your own root
Dug into that fast heart
Flew without wing or pinion
Now you orbit the stars
Now haunted and weary
Your vision creeps
I need a clear water
I need a release
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Love me hold me keep me from harm

My Shining Hour
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Johnny Mercer
First performance/First recording: Joan Leslie & Freddie Slack and his Orch./Glen Gray and The Casa Loma Orch. - 1943
Covered by multiple other artists
This moment, this minute
And each second in it
Will leave a glow upon the sky
And as time goes by, it will never die
This will be my shining hour
Calm and happy and bright
In my dreams, your face will flower
Through the darkness of the night
Like the lights of home before me
Or an angel, watching o'er me
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again
(like the lights of home before me)
(or an angel watching o'er me)
This will be my shining hour
'til I'm with you again

If I Could Have Your Loving
If I Could Have Your Loving
Performer(s): Sutherland Brothers & Quiver
If I can have your loving
Then I would want for nothing else
Deep in the night, I keep you
Happy to have you by myself
In my heart
Like a diamond in the dark
If I could have your loving
And if I could have your dreams
Something to keep in touch with you
Seeing them in my head
Helping me all the long night through
In my heart
Just like we never been apart
Oh, if I could have your dream
Everybody knows
There's not much you can do in life
Without someone to help you through
And everybody sees
There's no where you can go in life
Without somewhere to lead you to
Oh, everybody knows
There's not much you can do in life
Without someone to help you through
And everybody sees
There's no where you can go in life
Without somewhere to lead you to
Ooh, ooh
So if I could have your loving
Then I will want for nothing else
Deep in the night I keep you
Happy to have you by myself
In my heart
Just like a diamond in the dark
Oh, if I could have your loving
If I could have your loving
If I could have your loving

Keep Me In The Dark
Keep Me In The Dark
Composer(s): Nick Rhodes; Simon Lebon; Roger Taylor
Performer(s): Arcadia
When the evening sunlight fingers
Stretch across the floor
Cover up your eye with feathers
Softly close the door
Take me in your heavy lips
Take me where the shadows slide
Lying with you blindfold secrets
Turning fast and loose
The lacy intrigue of this weekend should not be abused
You can take me where you want
Could you take me all the time
Away..wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Tender is the truth I'm tasting
Watching you dictates
Heady nights of sleepless wasting
A face I can't escape
We could wave the world goodbye
To all of the boys "cheerio"
Away yeah..wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Help me now I'm slipping deeper
Tell me what to say
When I push you call me closer
Each time you turn a way
Something inside you cries
But is it something
I'll never find?
Away yeah..wait a little longer
Don't go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like you keeping me in the dark
Away yeah..oh wait a little longer
Before we go too far
I wouldn't like
I wouldn't like to think
You were keeping me in the dark

If I Could Build My Whole World Around You
Composer(s): Harvey Fuqua; Johnny Bristol; Vernon Bullock
First release by: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Marvin:
If I could build my whole world around you, darlin'
First I'd put heaven by your side
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey
And over your head would be the bluest sky
And I'd take every drop of rain
And wash all your troubles away
I'd have the whole world built around you
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
Tammi:
If I could build my whole world around you
I'd make your eyes the morning sun
I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
I'd put joy where there's never been love
And I'd give my love to you
To keep for the rest of your life
And happiness would surely be ours
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
Both:
Doo doo doo doo...
Marvin:
Oh, if I could build my whole world around you
I'd give you the greatest gift any woman could possess
T: And I'd step into this world you've created
And give you true love and tenderness
And there'd be something new with every tomorrow
To make this world better as days go by
(repeat):
Marvin: If I could build my whole world around you
Tammi: If I could build my whole world around you
Both: Then that would be all right, oh yeah

Performer(s): Poco
Don't tell me that we're goin' down a oneway
Hear me, somebody, would ya like to
Take the time to find ourselves a new way
Hear me, somebody, could ya try to?
Changes stranded in fear
Keep on believin', keepin' it clear
Good times will fin'lly arrive

Don't tell me we got no right to be choosin'
Hear me, somebody, are ya sure now?
If you think the way we're goin' ain't confusin'
Hear me, somebody, take a look now
Changes stranded in fear
Keep on believin' keepin' it clear,
Good times will fin'lly arrive,
It's been so long, come along, come on along
Don't tell me that it's gettin' down to bleedin'
Hear me, somebody, where are we goin'?
When ev'ry day has the answer to the question
Don't ya know it's been a-showin'?
Changes stranded in fear
Keep on believin' keepin' it clear
Good times will fin'lly arrive
It's been so long, come along, come on along
