Whistle While You Work


Whistle While You Work
Composer(s): Larry Morey; Frank Churchill
Performer(s): Adriana Caselotti;
and various other artists



Just whistle while you work
(Whistle)
Put on that grin and start right in
To whistle loud and long
Just hum a merry tune
(Hum)
Just do your best, then take a rest
And sing yourself a song
When there's not too much to do
Don't let it bother you
Forget your troubles,
Try to be like the cheerful chickadee
And whistle while you work
(Whistle)
Come on, get smart, tune up and start
To whistle while you work

All By Myself
Composer(s): Fats Domino - Dave Bartholomew
First recording/First release by: Fats Domino - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists



Little girl don't you understand
I wanna be your lovin' man
All by myself, all by myself
I don't need no-one to love you
Gonna love you all by myself

Well meet me in a hurry behind the barn
Don't be afraid I'll do you no harm
All by myself, all by myself
I don't need no-one to love you
Gonna love you all by myself

Well I got a girl who's six feet tall
Sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall
All by myself, all by myself
I don't need no-one to love her
Gonna love her all by myself

Well I got a girl who lives on the hill
She won't love you but her sister will
All by herself, all by herself
I don't need no-one to love you
Gonna love you all by herself

Whistle Me Some Blues


Whistle Me Some Blues
Composer(s): Denison; Holiday; Parker & Clind
Performer(s): The Four Freshmen



Mister engineer, when you get goin'
I'll make one request you can't refuse
When you start that lonesome whistle blowin'
Let that whistle whistle me some blues

When my fallin' tears start overflowin'
They may reach from here to Vera Cruz
When my broken heart can't keep from showin'
Whistle, whistle, whistle me some blues

When those wheels start turnin' down that one way track
My love promised me she's never comin' back

Mister engineer, there's no use lyin'
She's the one thing I can't stand to lose
When she leaves there's nothin' left but dyin'
So whistle, whistle, whistle me some blues

Whistle, whistle, whistle me some blues
Whistle, whistle, whistle me some blues..

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh!
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone

Whispers In The Dark


Whispers In The Dark
Composer(s): Frederick Hollander
Performer(s): Bob Crosby;
and various other artists



Whispers in the dark
Two shadows in the night
So gentle and so tender that every little word
Is like a song of sweet delight
Whispers in the dark
How heavenly they seem
When lips and arms surrender and ev'ry little kiss
Is like a dream within a dream
But soon the breezes whisper to the trees
That dawn is near,
So soon their little paradise of love will disappear
Whispers in the dark
While stars are in the blue
Upon a night like this perhaps I'll hear
A little whisper in the dark from you

J'écris ma vie
À l'encre de mes souvenirs
Je les retrouve dans un sourire
C'est si fragile

Comme des amis
Ces jeux d'enfants qui laissent rougir
L'amour nous effleurait sans dire
C'est interdit

Je vous aime ainsi
Et aujourd'hui je vous aime encore
Tellement fort

Je vous aime ainsi
Qu'importe si
Le monde entier me donne tort

J'ai enlacé
L'étrange parfum de ce passé
Nos mains unies se sont cachées
Pour exister

Je vous aime ainsi
Et aujourd'hui je vous aime encore
Tellement fort

Whisperman
Composer(s): Peter Albin; Sam Andrew;
Dave Getz; James Gurley; Janis Joplin
Performer(s): Big Brother & The Holding Company



People come around the window
People come around the door
People come around and ask me
If I can say some more
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yes I am!

I can read somebody's back hand, and I can read your mind
What you need is body heat, ask for it any time
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!

I can see up your staircase, and I can see down your hall
I can see almost anything, or anything at all
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!

I can see behind your eyelid
I can see behind your head
I can only check you on the windshield
Write them on your bed
'Cause I'm a whisperman, yeah, yes I am!

Quise volar
Y conocí la soledad
Jugue al amor sin entregar
Sin esperar

Salgo a buscar
Alguna huella, una señal
Hacer mi sueno realidad
Poder amar

Sola otra vez
No se vivir
Sola otra vez
Sin amor

Quiero saber
Como es que siente una mujer
Mi corazon no aguanta mas
La soledad

Sola otra vez
No sé vivir
Sola otra vez
Sin amor

Sola otra vez
Estoy aquí
Sola otra vez
Sin amor

Quise volar
Y conoci la soledad
Jugue al amor sin entregar
Sin esperar

Sola otra vez
No se vivir
Sola otra vez
Sin amor

Sola otra vez
No se vivir

Sin amor
Ya no quiero estar tan sola otra vez sin amor
Otra vez, sin amor...
Sin amor
Sola otra vez
No se vivir
Sin amor
Sola

Whispering Pines (The Band)


Whispering Pines
Composer(s): Richard Manuel; Robbie Robertson
Performer(s): The Band;
and various other artists



If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream
Inside my lonely room, there is no in between
Whispering pines, rising of the tide
If only one star shines
That's just enough to get inside
I will wait until it all goes 'round
With you in sight, the lost are found
Foghorn through the night, calling out to sea
Protect my only light, 'cause she once belonged to me
Let the waves rush in, let the seagulls cry
For if I live again, these hopes will never die
I can feel you standing there
But I dont see you anywhere

Standing by the well, wishing for the rains
Reaching for the clouds, for nothing else remains
Drifting in a daze, when evening will be done
Try looking through a haze
At an empty house, in the cold, cold sun
I will wait until it all goes round
With you in sight, the lost are found

All By Myself (Daryl Hall)


All By Myself
Composer(s): Alan Gorrie - Daryl Hall
Performer(s): Daryl Hall



I can see the anger
And I surely feel
All the passion, baby gone astray
Why are we divided
So dissatisfied
Does it matter what we do or say
I can’t see the wisdom
Never gonna give in
When the love is not so far away
I was hoping for more
I’m still hoping for sure
Isn’t anybody dreamin’
Isn’t anybody thinking
Or am I all by myself
Isn’t anybody teachin’
Why is everybody preachin’
Am I all by myself
Don’t you feel it lately
That you’re the only one
Who can see through bitter lies right here
Like everybody knows it
But no one seems to care
As if there’s something in the truth we fear
Aren’t you hoping for more
I’m still hoping for sure
Isn’t anybody dreamin’
Isn’t anybody thinking
And all by myself
Isn’t anybody lovin’
Isn’t anybody huggin’
Am I all by myself, tell me, tell me
Am I all by myself
All by myself
Come on everybody teach it with me
Am I all by myself
Don’t wanna be all by myself
Come on everybody preach it with me

Whispering Pines (Johnny Horton)


Whispering Pines
Composer(s): Howard Hausey
Performer(s): Johnny Horton;
and various other artists



The snowflakes fall, as winter calls
And time just seems to fly
Is it the loneliness in me
That makes me wanta cry
My heart is sad like a mourning dove
That's lost it's mate in flight
Hear the cooing of his lonely heart
Through the stillness of the night

Chorus:
Whisperin' pines, whisperin' pines
Tell me is it so
Whisperin' pines, whisperin' pines
You're the one who knows
My darlin's gone, oh, she's gone
And I need your sympathy
Whisperin' pines, send my baby back to me

See that squirrel up in the tree
His mate there on the ground
Hear their barking call of love
For the happiness they've found
Is my love still my love
Oh, this I've gotta know
Send a message by the wind
Because I love her sop

Chorus

All By Myself (Al Jolson & Bing Crosby)


All By Myself
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Al Jolson & Bing Crosby



I'm all by myself in the morning
All By myself in the night
I sit alone in my cosy morris chair
So unhappy there
Playing solitaire
I'm all by myself and I get lonely
(He say's he gets lonesome by himself)
Watching the clock on the shelf
I'd like to rest my wearing head on Somebody's shoulder (Just lay it here)
I hate to grow older
All by myself

Whispering Grass (Don't Tell The Trees)


Whispering Grass (Don't Tell The Trees)
Composer(s): Fred Fisher; Doris Fisher
Performer(s): The Ink Spots;
and various other artists



Why do you whisper, green grass?
Why tell the trees what ain't so?
Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know, no, no

Why tell them all your secrets?
Who kissed there long ago
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know

Don't you tell it to the trees
She will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret anymore

Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'cause the trees don't need to know

Monologue:
Now, don't you tell it to the trees
'cause they'll just run 'n' tell the birds and bees
Then everybody'd know 'cause you told them doggone trees!
Yes you did, you know you did, ya told 'em once before
Now look atcha, honey child, it ain't no secret no mo'

Why tell them all the old things?
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'cause the trees don't need to know

All Because Of You (Cher)


All Because Of You
Composer(s): Jonathan Lind - Sue Shifrin
First release by: Cher - 1989



Sometimes
A heart has a mind of its own
Sometimes
I can tell myself
That I'm better of beeing alone
Sometimes
But this time
I can't hide from the thought of it
It's around every corner I turn
Right there in lights
In black and white
Staring at me...

It's all because of you
That I feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
All because of you

Tonight
I can't feel any magic inside
Tonight
'Cause I can't reach out for the stars
Looking up at the moon on my own
No signs of life
No nothin's right
Since you've been gone

It's all because of you
That I feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because
All because of you

All because of you I can't sleep at night
Oh no! I can't sleep at night
And there ain't no rest
Living second best
Without your love
You don't know what it's like
To feel this way
All because of you
That my heart wants to break
If every other love can be forgotten
It's all because of you

Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so no one can hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
I know it's true dear....there's no one but you

I'm a singin'

Whispering why you'll never leave me
Whispering why you'll never grieve me
Whisper and say that you believe me
Whispering that I love you

Whispering while you cuddle near me
Whispering so no one can hear me
Each little whisper seems to cheer me
Just whispering that I love you

All At Once You Love Her


All At Once You Love Her
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Perry Como
and multiple other artists



You start to light her cigarette
and all at once you love her
You've scarcely talked, you've scarcely met
But all at once you love her
You like her eyes, you tell her so
She thinks you're wise and clever
You kiss goodnight and then you know
You'll kiss goodnight forever
You wonder where your heart can go
Then all at once you know

Whiskey, You're The Devil


Whiskey, You're The Devil
(Traditional)
Performer(s): The Clancy Brothers



Now brave boys, we're on the march
Off to Portugal and Spain
Drums are beating, banners flying
The Devil at home will come tonight
So it's go, fare thee well
With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

The French are fighting boldly
Men are dying hot and coldly
Give every man his flask of powder
His firelock on his shoulder
So it's go, fare thee well
With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

Says the old wan do not wrong me
Don't take me daughter from me
For if you do I will torment you
When I'm dead my ghost will haunt you
So it's go, fare thee well
With a too da loo ra loo ra doo de da
A too ra loo ra loo ra doo de da
Me rikes fall too ra laddie-o
There's whiskey in the jar

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

Oh, whiskey you're the devil
You're leading me astray
Over hills and mountains
And to Amerikay
You're sweetness from the Bleachner
And spunkier than tea
Oh whiskey you're my darling drunk or sober

All At Once (Whitney Houston)


All At Once
Composer(s): Michael Masser - Jeffrey Osborne
First release by: Whitney Houston - 1985
Covered by multiple other artists



All at once
I finally took a moment
And I'm realizing that you're not coming back
And it's finally hit me all at once

All at once
I've started counting teardrops and at least a million fell
My eyes began to swell
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once

All at once
I looked around and found that you were..
With another love
in someone else's arms
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

All at once
The smile that used to greet me
Brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories all at once

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
Though I must face it all alone

All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it's hurt me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once ...
