Will You?


Will You?
Composer(s): Brian Gibson
Performer(s): Hazel O'Connor



You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
And we're sitting here playing so cool thinking "What will be, will be"
But it's getting kind of late now
Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do
And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs, I spill my tea, oh silly me!
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

And then we touch much too much
This moment has been waiting for a long long time
Makes me shiver, it makes me quiver
This moment I am so unsure
This moment I have waited for
Was it something you've been waiting for, waiting for too?

Take off your ice, bare your soul
Gather me to you and make me whole
Tell me your secrets, sing me the song
Sing it to me in the silent dawn
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

All Through The Night (The Kingston Trio)


All Through The Night
Composer(s): Nick Reynolds
Performer(s): The Kingston Trio
and multiple other artists



Sleep, my Child, and peace attend Thee, all through the night
Guardian angels God will send Thee, all through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, hill and vale in slumber sleeping
God, His loving vigil keeping, all through the night

While the moon her watch is keeping, all through the night
While the weary world is sleeping, all through the night
Through Your dreams You're swiftly stealing, visions of delight revealing
Christmas time is so appealing, all through the night

You, my God, a Babe of wonder, all through the night
Dreams You dream can't break from thunder, all through the night
Children's dreams cannot be broken; life is but a lovely token
Christmas should be softly spoken all through the night

Will You Still Be Mine?


Will You Still Be Mine?
Composer(s): Tom Adair; Matt Dennis
Performer(s): Connie Haines;
and various other artists



Ever since my heart took such a tumble
I've wondered if your love for me would last
When landmarks fall and institutions crumble
Will it be just a memory of the past?

When lovers make no rendezvous
And stroll along Fifth Avenue
When this familiar world is through
Will you still be mine?

When cabs don't drive around the park
No windows light the summer dark
When love has lost its secret spark
Will you still be mine?

When moonlight on the Hudson's not romancy
And spring no longer turns a young man's fancy

When glamour girls have lost their charms
And sirens just mean false alarms
When lovers heed no call to arms
Will you still be mine?

When Elsa's parties are no fun
When FDR declines to run
When Eleanor of "My Day" is done
Will you still be mine?

When Garbo gives out interviews
And Harlem folk forget the blues
When G-Man Hoover's out of clues
Will you still be mine?

A song of love will just remain a gay note
When we have finally paid our FHA note

When Barrymore first hides his face
And when Yehudi leaves a trace
When Crosby's horses win a race
Will you still be mine?

All Through The Night (Jules Shear)


All Through The Night
((German & Welsh Version: In Dieser Nacht (by Nana Mouskouri); Ar Hyd Y Nos (by Nana Mouskouri))
Composer(s): Jules Shear
First release by: Jules Shear - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



All through the night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All through the night
stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

Will You Remember?


Will You Remember?
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Rida Johnson Young
Performer(s): Jeanette MacDonald & Nelson Eddy;
and various other artists



Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart

Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart

Ah love is so sweet in the springtime
When blossoms are fragrant in May
No years that are coming can bring time
To make me forget dear, this day
I love you in life's gray December
The same as I love you today
My heart ever young will remember
The thrill it knew, that day in May

Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
Will you love me ever?
Will you remember this day?
When we were happy in May
My dearest one

Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart
Though our paths may sever
To life's last faint ember
Will you Remember?
Springtime, lovetime, May
Springtime, lovetime, May

Will You Remember Mine


Will You Remember Mine
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson; Timi Yuro



Sweet is the song, when the song is love
Love that has stood the test of time
And when you've heard all the songs of love
Will you remember mine

Gone are the days that I walked with you
And I held your hand in mine
Now when you hold another's hand
Will you remember mine

I have sat 'neath the trees while a cool summer's breeze
Blew away the sands of time
And I dreamed of days when you were here
Remembering when you were mine

But gone are the times when I held you close
And pressed your lips to mine
Now when you kiss another's lips
Will you remember mine

Will you remember mine

Covered by multiple other artists



All through the day, I dream about the night
I dream about the night here with you
All through the day, I wish away the time
Until the time when I'm here with you

Down falls the sun, I run to meet you
The evening mist melts away!
Down smiles the moon, and soon your lips recall
The kiss I dreamed of, all through the day!

Will You Marry Me


Will You Marry Me
Composer(s): Al Anderson; Jeffrey Steele
Performer(s): Alabama



I come here today, I'm kind of nervous
You know how words get in my way
It should come easy, I've been rehearsing
I don't know why I'm so afraid, to say

Will you marry me
Put our love and life together
Will you stay with me
For always and forever
On bended knee, would you take this ring
Will you marry me, please
Will you marry me

To be with you is what I live for
But at this moment I confess
Though I love you, God knows I love you
Deep down inside I'm scared to death, say yes

Will you marry me
Put our love and life together
Will you stay with me
For always and forever
On bended knee, would you take this ring
Will you marry me, please
Will you marry me

On bended knee
On bended knee
Would you take this ring
I will take your ring
Will you marry me, please
Will you marry me

All Those Yesterdays


All Those Yesterdays
Composer(s): Justin Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?
Where will I go, what will I say
How can I live since you have gone away?
What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?

Tomorrow never bothers me I know what it will bring
It is just another day and it won’t mean a thing
But when nighttime falls and memories come into play
What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?

Tomorrow never bothers me I know what it will bring
It is just another day and it won’t mean a thing
But when night times falls and memories come into play
What will I do with All Those Yesterdays?

Will You Love Me Tomorrow?


Will You Love Me Tomorrow? (aka Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow)
Composer(s): Carole King; Gerry Goffin
Performer(s): The Shirelles;
and various other artists



Tonight you're mine completely
You give you love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?

So tell me now, and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

All Those Years Ago


All Those Years Ago
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): George Harrison



I'm shouting all about love
While they treated you like a dog
When you were the one who had made it so clear
All those years ago

I'm talking all about how to give
They don't act with much honesty
But you point the way to the truth when you say
All you need is love

Living with the good and the bad
I always looked up to you
Now we're left cold and sad
By someone the devil's best friend
Someone who offended all

We're living in a bad dream
They've forgotten all about mankind
And you were the one they backed up to the wall
All those years ago
You were the one who Imagined it all
All those years ago

Deep in the darkest night
I send out a prayer to you
Now in the world of light
Where the spirit free of the lies
And all else we despised

They've forgotten all about God
He's the only reason we exist
Yet you were the one that they said was so weird
All those years ago
You said it all though not many had ears
All those years ago
You had control of our smiles and our tears
All those years ago

What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty

Will You Love Me In December As You Do In May?


Will You Love Me In December As You Do In May?
Composer(s): J.J. Walker; Ernest R. Ball
Performer(s): Joan Morris & William Bolcom



Now in the summer of life sweetheart
You say you love but me
Gladly I give all my heart to you
Throbbing with ecstacy
But last night I saw while a dreaming
The future old and gray
And I wondered if you'll love me then dear
Just as you do today

You say the glow on my cheek sweetheart
Is like the rose so sweet
But when the bloom of fair youth has flown
Then will our lips still meet?
When life's setting sun fades away dear
And all is said and done
Will your arms still entwine and caress me
Will our hearts beat as one?

Will you love me in the December as you do in May
Will you love me in the good old fashioned way?
When my hair has turned all gray
Will you kiss me then and say
That you love me in December as you do in May?

All This Useless Beauty


All This Useless Beauty
Composer(s): Elvis Costello
First release by: June Tabor - 1992



It’s at times such as this she’d be tempted to spit
If she wasn’t so ladylike
She imagines how she might have lived
Back when legends and history collide
So she looks to her prince finding he’s so charmingly
Slumped at her side
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
And she’s waiting for passion or humour to strike

What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty

Good friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
’til he almost began to negotiate
She held his head like a baby and said "it’s okay if you cry"
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn’t guess
He desires to impress his associates
But he’s part ugly beast and hellenic deceased
So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny

What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty

She won’t practice the looks from the great tragic books
That were later disgraced to face celluloid
It won’t even make sense but you can bet
If she isn’t a sweetheart or plaything or pet
The film turns her into an unveiled threat

Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
They still think they’re the gods of antiquity
If something you missed didn’t even exist
It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise?

What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty

What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty

Will You Forgive If I Forget?


Will You Forgive If I Forget?
Composer(s): Kurt Hirsekorn; Gabriel Selig



Oh could I but recall the past, dear
and all its bright and happy hours!
It would not be that now at last, dear
your love should fade like summer flowers
our hands, our lips have met in gladness
how can our lives be parted now
Let love's roses banish sadness, recall the shadow from your brow!

To take your image from my heart, dear
would be to take the light from day!
and if our paths on earth should part, dear
my fondest hopes would fade away!
Let not our little word now sever
the bliss, the dreams that we have known!
Oh, let us be sweethearts forever, let your dear love be all my own!

Say not farewell, ah leave that word unspoken
which brings a tear a bitter sigh!
say not the vows that once we made are broken
by one sad word that word Goodbye!
Oh! give me back your fond caresses
I cannot help I love you yet
the fault was mine my heart confesses
will you forgive if I forget?

All This Stuff Takes Time


All This Stuff Takes Time
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie
Performer(s): Arlo Guthrie



It ain't so much the boredom
But the fire in her soul
That made her life unbearable
While living in that hole
Of her dark surburban nightmare
'Till she went to see the Dead
And the self esteem she valued
Was immediately spent
And she had no one to turn to
So she just turned off her mind
She's a well adjusted wanderer
But all this stuff takes time

On the streets of old Wyoming
There's a couple from L.A.
They are post-environmentalists
Looking for to stay
'Till their friends all come to join them
In the quest for air to breathe
And when it gets too crowded
They will just pick up and leave
Like they did in New York City
When the coast seemed quite sublime
It don't take much but money
And money just takes time

Marie is on the lounge chair
Draped around the pool
Avoiding almost anyone who'd
Desecrate he cool
It's the reason she's attractive
She's already self abused
And her pride won't feel the loneliness
That comes with being used
She's the center of the universe
For which she was designed
Until she wakes up wandering
Why all this stuff takes time

Bill died of a heart attack
Beating up his wife
Now he's come back as a lesbian
That's looking for his wife
Who is now a psychoanalyst
That likes to work with plants
Except of course on weekends
When she likes to wear the pants
She's a leather goddess minister
Who works with the confined
It don't take much to realize
That all this stuff takes time

Everyone's Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World's
Got A Role For Me
I'm So Confused
Will You Show To Me
You'll Be There For Me
And Care Enough To Bear Me

In Our Darkest Hour
In My Deepest Despair
Will You Still Care?
Will You Be There?
In My Trials
And My Tripulations
Through Our Doubts
And Frustrations
In My Violence
In My Turbulence
Through My Fear
And My Confessions
In My Anguish And My Pain
Through My Joy And My Sorrow
In The Promise Of Another Tomorrow
I'll Never Let You Part
For You're Always In My Heart

All This Love


All This Love
Composer(s): El DeBarge
First release by: DeBarge - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



I had some problems
And no one could seem to solve them
But you found the answer
You told me to take a chance
And learn the way of love, my baby
And all that it had to offer
In time you will see that love won't let you down

You said that you loved me
Said hurt only came to pass me
It sounded so convincing
That I gave it half a chance
And learned the way of love my baby
There is so much love inside me
And all that I have I give my all to you
(all, all my loving)

And all this love is waiting for you
(my baby, my sugar)
And all, all my love is waiting for you

All this love is waiting for you
(Oooh!)
And baby all, baby all this love is waiting for you
(my sugar)

Oh, I love how you make me feel this way
My love is getting stronger every day (my baby)
And after all I went and put myself through
I found that all I really needed was you (my darlin')

As the sun has its place up in the sky
I love you so dearly
And all the same, there's no need to wonder why
I need you, please hear me

Say you really love me, baby
Say you really love me, darlin'
For I really love you baby
You know I really love you darlin'

Say you really love me, baby
Say you really love me, darlin'
For I really love you baby
Sure enough love you darlin'

Say, say you love me......

Will There Be Any Yodeling In Heaven?


Will There Be Any Yodeling In Heaven?
Performer(s): Bob Wills;
and various other artists



Will there be any yodeling in heaven
That is what I'd like to know
There can't be any wrong
In just singing a song
With a yodel lay-eee-ooh-my-lay-eee-tee
Yodel lay-dee-ay-dee-ooh-my-lay-dee-tee
Will there be any yodeling in heaven
Ooh-lay-dee-dee-dee-dee
And the heavens above
Will they sing the songs we love
While I yodel lay-eee-ooh-my lay-dee-tee

As I climb the golden stairway up yonder
And life's journey on this Earth is o'er
As I cross the Great Divide
Will they welcome me inside
With my yodel lay-eee-ooh-my-lay-eee-tee
Yodel lay-dee-ay-dee-ooh-my-lay-dee-tee
Will there be any yodeling in heaven
Ooh-lay-dee-dee-dee-dee
And the heavens above
Will they sing the songs we love
While I yodel lay-dee-eee-ooh-my lay-dee-tee

All This And Heaven Too


All This And Heaven Too
Composer(s): Eddie DeLange - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bob Eberly & Jimmy Dorsey



You give me your lips
And your lips are so heavenly
Stars in the sky are all free
And they shine for me
So does the moon in the blue
All this is mine and heaven too

You give me your arms
And your arms are like angel wings
Sweet to my ear is the song ev'ry bluebird sings
Each rosebud kissed by the dew
All this is mine and heaven too

I own each summer day
Each mountain capped with snow
The sentimental tree, the dreamy streams that flow
Ev'ry country lane and ev'ry street of stone
Are highways of adventure made for me alone

You give me your love
And your love is a melody
Deep in my heart I will carry the song with me
You bring a love so divine
All this is mine and heaven too
