Do It


Do It
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



Do it while your soul's still burnin'
You know I'll be yearnin' away
Say what you want to say
Cause if you let her go
You'll always know you blew it
Go to it and do it
Yeah, do it yeah

Tell her just how much you love her
And that no other could do what she does to you
Cause if you take your time
You're gonna find you blew it
Go to it and do it
Yeah do it, yeah do it, do it

Ilusão
Ilusão
Veja as coisas como elas são
A carroça
A dama
O louco
O trunfo
A mão
O enforcado
A dançarina
Numa cortina
O encarnado
A dançarina, o encantado
O encarnado numa cortina
O enforcado

Ilusão
Ilusão
Veja as coisas como elas são
O curinga
A noiva
O noivo
O sim
O não
O prateado
O cavaleiro
No seu espelho
Desfigurado
O cavaleiro, o prateado
Do outro lado do seu espelho
Desfigurado

Ilusão
Ilusão
Veja as coisas como elas são
A fortuna
A roda
O raio
A imensidão
O estrelado
O obscuro
O seu

Do I Worry?


Do I Worry? Composer(s): Stanley Cowan - Bobby Worth Performer(s): The Ink Spots



Do I worry cause you're stepping out
Do I worry cause you got me in doubt
Though your kisses aren't right, do I give a bag of beans
Do I stay home every night and read my magazine

Am I frantic, cause we lost that spark
Is there panic when it starts turning dark
And when evening shadows creep, do I loose any sleep over you
Do I worry, you can bet your life I do

Do I worry when the iceman calls
Do I worry if Niagra Falls
Though you treat me just like dirt
You think I give a snap
Are my feelings really hurt
When you're sitting in somebody else's lap
Am I curious when the gossip flies
Am I furious bout your little white lies
And when all our evenings end
Cause you got a sick friend that needs you
Do I worry, honey, you know dog gone well I do

Am I frantic, cause we've lost that spark
Is there panic when it starts turning dark
And when evening shadows creep
Do I lose any sleep over you
Do I worry, you can bet your life, I do

As Always You Were Wrong Again


As Always You Were Wrong Again
Performer(s): UB40



We'll raise the price of parking fines
A boost for the economy
If that don't work we close the mines
And starve the poor of industry

We proved again we rule the waves
A blow for white democracy
That Britains never shall be slaves
So long as they agree with me

We'll close the roads, divide the land
Put out the rage that burns within
Break the link of dirty hands
At any cost we'll always win

Keep them poor and wanting more
Deprive them of their basic rights
The hunger banging at their door
Will take away their will to fight

As always you were wrong again
To us a little seems a lot
Don't turn your back on desperate men
'Cause we can see how much you've got

(Do I Figure) In Your Life?


(Do I Figure) In Your Life?
Composer(s): Pete Dello
First release by: Honeybus - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Hey there, what you gonna do now?
You made yourself some new friends
Knocking around with all those wide people
They make me nervous
When the things they say cut me like a knife
Do I still figure in your life?

Hey now, I hardly know your face
It's got a brand new look about it
Hard to trace the tender way you look
The way you smile
To think that I once took you for my wife
Do I still figure in your life?
Do I still figure in your life?

You say hello - say hello
But I think you want to go - I think you got to go
To think that I once took you for my wife
Do I still figure in your life?
Do I still figure in your life? Do I?
Do I still figure in your life? Do I?
Do I still figure in your life? Do I?
Do I still figure in your life?

As Always I Remain


As Always I Remain
Performer(s): Night Ranger



Here I am
My heart in a sling
Holding on to memories
Wondering what might have been
There you are
Lost in a dream
Full of life yet loneliness
Has caused you to bleed
I know
Where there's room enough for two
Take a trip to where we've been
The water's hushed underneath thge bridge... again
As always I remain

So where are we now
Life is just a daisy chain
Your innocence my lost refrain
Where are we now
Never said you'd stay the same
As always I remain

Sudden call
It's the end of the line
Or is it just the start of something
Maybe... we'll see
Where will you go
And who will you be
Me I'll just be singing songs
Crossing fingers
There's always something going on
As always I remain
As always I remain

So where are we now
Life is just a daisy chain
Your innocence my lost refrain
Where are we now
Never said you'd stay the same
As always I remain

I must admit I'm an untimely man
Appearing to calloused to all
There's a right way a wrong way
As always I will
Remain on this road right or wrong

So where are we now
Life is just a daisy chain
Your innocence my lost refrain
Where are we now
Never said you'd stay the same
As always I remain
As always I remain

Do I Love You? (The Ronettes)


Do I Love You? Composer(s): Peter Andreoli - Vini Poncia - Phil Spector First release by: The Ronettes - 1964 Covered by multiple other artists



Do I want you for my baby?
Do I want you by my side?
Do I wanna run & kiss your lips
And say you're my lovin' guy?
Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh)
(Do I love you? Yes I love you)

Do I need your arms around me?
Do I live my life for you?
Do I always feel so warm each time
I look in your eyes of blue?
Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh)
(Do I love you? Yes I love you) oh oh

And do I need you every minute of the day?
And would I die if you should ever go away?
And does it mean so much to feel your tender touch?
Do I love you? Do I love you?

Oh I swear I'm gonna get you
If it takes me all my life
I'll hope & pray & dream & sleep
'Cause I'm gonna be your wife
Oh oh oh (oh oh) oh oh oh (oh oh oh)
(Do I love you? Yes I love you)

(repeat):
(Do I love you? Yes I love you)

As


As
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder



As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early may
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all that's born is new
You know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky)
Always
(Until the ocean covers every mountain high)
Always
(Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea)
Always
(Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream)

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
No no her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

Just as time knew to move on since the beginning
And the seasons know exactly when to change
Just as kindness knows no shame
Know through all your joy and pain
That I'll be loving you always

As today I know I'm living
But tomorrow could make me the past
But that I mustn't fear
For I'll know deep in my mind
The love of me I've left behind
'Cause I'll be loving you always

(Until the day is night and night becomes the day)
Always
(Until the trees and seas just up and fly away)
Always
(Until the day that eight times eight times eight is four)
Always
(Until the day that is the day that are no more)
Did you know you're loved by somebody
(Until the day the earth starts turnin' right to left)
Always
(Until the earth just for the sun denies itself)
I'll be lovin you forever
(Until dear mother nature says her work is through)
Always
(Until the day that you are me and I am you)
Always
(Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean severs every mountain high)
Always mm mm

We all know sometimes life hates and troubles
Can make you wish you were born in another time and space
But you can bet your lifetimes that and twice it's double
That God knew exactly where he wanted you to be placed
So make sure when you say you're in it, but not of it
You're not helpin' to make this earth
A place sometimes called hell
Change your words into truths
And then change that truth into love
And maybe our children's grandchildren
And their great grandchildren will tell
I'll be loving you until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky

Do I Love You? (Paul Anka)


Do I Love You? Composer(s): Paul Anka - Yves Dessca - Alain Joseph Yves Le Govic - Michel Albert Louis Pelay - Maxime Piolot Performer(s): Paul Anka and multiple other artists



Beyond the shadow of a dove
As the mighty river flows
As the meadow gaily plays
With the wind of summer days
‘Bout as deep as we can go
From the canyon to the skies
Like a mother as she cares
For the baby that she bears

Do I love you
Don’t you know by now
Do I love you
Must I show you how
Do I love
Must I always say
Do I love
Yes in every way

About as sacred as a hymn
And a bible full of prayers
From a whisper to a roar
Very much and even more
And I shall show it with my eyes
And share it with the night
If in death the good Lord is kind
You’ll be the last thing on my mind

Do I love you
Don’t you know by now
Do I love you
Must I show you how
Do I love
Do I have to say
Do I love
Yes in every way

Do I love you
You should know by now
Do I love you
Must I show you how
Do I love
Do I have to say
Do I love
Yes in every way

Artificial Flowers


Artificial Flowers
Composer(s): Jerry Bock - Sheldon Harnick
Performer(s): Ron Husmann



Alone in the world was poor little Anne
As sweet a young child as you'd find
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind

Did you hear?..........
This poor little child was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away
Still bravely she worked at the one thing she knew
To earn her few pennies a day

She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, you know those artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair

With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb

From makin' artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from Annie's despair

They found little Annie all covered in ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears

There must be a heaven where little Annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers
And instead of a halo she'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers

No more artificial flowers
Throw away those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
Throw away those artificial flowers
Those dumb-dumb flowers
Fashioned from Annie's
Fashioned from Annie's
Despair ...

Give her the real thing!

Do I Love You? (Ethel Merman & Ronald Graham)


Do I Love You? Composer(s): Cole Porter First performance by: Ethel Merman & Ronald Graham - 1939 Covered by multiple other artists



After that sweet Summer afternoon
When for the first time I saw you appear
Dreaming of you I composed a tune
So will you listen to it, dear?

Do I love you, do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you, do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?
Would I miss you, would I?
If you ever should go away?
If the sun should desert the day
What would life be?
Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you for ever?
Isn't heaven forever more?

Do I love you, do I?
Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do?
Don't I show you I do
Just as you love me?

Do I love you, do I?
Doesn't one and one make two?
Do I love you, do I?
Does July need a sky of blue?
Would I miss you, would I?
If you ever should go away?
If the sun should desert the day
What would life be?
Will I leave you, never?
Could the ocean leave the shore?
Will I worship you for ever?
Isn't heaven forever more?

Do I love you, do I?
Oh, my dear, it's so easy to see
Don't you know I do?
Don't I show you I do
Just as you love me?

Artificial Energy


Artificial Energy
Composer(s): McGuinn - Hillman - Clarke
Performer(s): The Byrds



Sitting all alone now
I took my ticket to ride
Just a matter of time now
Tilm I'll be up in the sky
Coming up on me now
I'm king for a night
What's it gonna be now?
How willful things are building insight
Do you think it's really the trip that you seek?
I've got my doubts it's happened to me
Artificial energy
Is racing in my mind
I've got a strange feeling
I'm going to die before my time
'Cause i'm coming down off amphetamines
And I'm in jail 'cause I killed the queen

Do I Hear A Waltz?


Do I Hear A Waltz? Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Stephen Sondheim Performer(s): Sammy Davis Jr. and multiple other artists



Do I hear a waltz?
Very odd but I hear a waltz
There isn’t a band and I don’t understand it at all
I can’t hear a waltz
Oh my lord, there it goes again
Why is nobody dancing in the street?
Can’t they hear the beat?
Magical, mystical, miracle
Can it be, is it true?
Things are impossibly lyrical
Is it me, no it’s you
I do hear a waltz
I see you and I hear a waltz
It’s what I’ve been waiting for all my life
To hear a waltz

Do I hear a waltz?
La-da-de-da-da
Such lovely Blue Danubey music
How can you be still?
I do hear a waltz
There it goes again
There’s no dancing in the street
Can’t they hear the beat?
Roses are dancing with peonies
Yes it’s true, don’t you see
Everything’s suddenly Viennese
Can’t be you, must be me
Do I hear a waltz?
I want more than to hear a waltz
I want you to share it, but oh my
Do I hear a waltz?

Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)


Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)
((Italian Version: Sogni Proibiti (by Ornella Vanoni) - 2002))
Composer(s): Peter Allen - Burt Bacharach - Carole Bayer Sager - Christopher Cross
First release by: Christopher Cross - 1981
Covered by multiple other artists



Once in your life you find her, someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know, you're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you, even though you left her way across town
You're wondering to yourself, "Hey, what have I found?"

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love

Arthur, he does as he pleases; all of his life his master's toys
But deep in his heart he's just, he's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time, he's showing himself a really good time
He's laughing about the way they want him to be

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love

When you get caught between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do, the best that you can do, is fall in love

Do I Have To Come Right Out And Say It


Do I Have To Come Right Out And Say It Composer(s): Neil Young Performer(s): Buffalo Springfield and multiple other artists



Do I have to come right out and say it
Tell you that you look so fine
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine

If it was a game I could play it
Trying to make it but I'm losing time
I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind

Indecision is crowding me
I have no room to spare
And I can't believe she cared
Like a dream she has taken me
And now I don't know where
And a part of me is scared
The part of me I shared
Once before

Sogni Proibiti


Sogni Proibiti
((Adapted from: Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) (by Christoper Cross) - 1981))
Composer(s): Peter Allen - Burt Bacharach - Carole Bayer Sager - Christopher Cross - Sergio Bardotti
Performer(s): Ornella Vanoni - 2002



Essere un buon capitano
gli occhi lontani come il mare
con quell'istinto di salpare
Essere tu il vagabondo
senza parenti senza nome
che chissa' come al mondo
ha detto no
Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti
e' una vecchissima fotografia
e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti
intanto vola via
intanto non si sa se tornera'
Vivere notti infinite
correre sui cavalli alati
tu la regina dei pirati
essere saggia e avere vent'anni
essere squalo e pescatore
schiava e padrona di ogni amore
Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti
e sei davvero tu nella fotografia
e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti
perche' la vita sia
fare due passi nell'eternita'
Essere te ma essere un'altra
essere preda e predatore
luce dell'ombra notte e sole
Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti
e sei davvero tu nella fotografia
e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti
e intanto vola via
e intanto vola via
Eccoli li' sono i tuoi sogni proibiti
questa vecchissima fotografia
e a tutti fa ancora sogni proibiti
e intanto vola via
e intanto non si sa se tornera'

Do I Ever Cross Your Mind


Do I Ever Cross Your Mind Composer(s): Dolly Parton First release by: Dolly Parton - 1982 Covered by multiple other artists



Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked Long ago in the sweet used to be And the flowers still grow, but they don’t smell as sweet As they did when you picked them for me And when I think of you and the love we once knew How I wish we could go back in time Do you ever think back on old memories like that Or do I ever cross your mind Do you ever wake up lonely in the middle of the night Because you miss me, do you darling Oh, and do your memories ever take You back into another place in time And do you ever miss the feelings And the love we shared when you were with me, tell me darling Or do I ever cross your mind Oh, how often I wish that again I could kiss Your sweet lips like I did long ago And how often I long for those two loving arms That once held me so gentle and close And when I think of you and the love we once knew How I wish we could go back in time Do you ever think back on old memories like that Or do I ever cross your mind

De wereld verdeeld zich in Oost en West
Ieder voor zich en vergeet de rest
Wat er ontbreekt is wat liefde slechts
Een hart heeft toch ook een links en rechts

Irina, met één zoen
Slopen wij op het Rode Plein
Heel die muur van Berlijn
Irina spaciba
Spaciba Irina

Ik kom steeds naar jou toe in een Boeïng
Vlieg weer terug met een Iljoeshin
Over de muur gaan ze allebei
Brengen ons altijd maar dichterbij
Een zoen heeft in Moskou dezelfde smaak
Liefde is overal in de maak
Waarom wil men dan in Berlijn
Dat de mensen gescheiden zijn

When I see you on the street
My whole body gets weak
When you're standing in a crowd
Your love talks to me so loud
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you

When I hear you on the phone
Your sweet, sexy voice turns my ear all the way on
Just the mention of your name
Seems to drive my head insane
Girl, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you... baby

Sss..Mmm
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love
for you
Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love

My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive
My heart has been waiting
My soul anticipating your love, love, love

From the time that I awake
I'm imagining the good love that we'll make
If to me your vibe can do all this
Just imagine how it's going to feel when we hug and kiss
Sugar, do I do, what you do, when I do my love to you... all right
Sss... Mmm

Of being part of what feels like the right romance

Turn your feelings in your heart back to me right away

Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry


Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing In A Hurry
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer - Victor Schertzinger
Performer(s): Betty Hutton



Life was so peaceful at the laundry
Life was so calm and serene
Life was tres gay
Till that unlucky day
I happened to read that magazine!

Why did I read that advertisement
Where it says, "Since I rumba, Jim thinks I'm sublime!?
Why, oh why Did I ever try
When I didn't have the talent, I didn't have the money
And teacher did not have the time? Boy!

Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry
I had a week to spare
He showed me the ground work
The walkin' around work
And told me take it from there!

Arthur Murray Then advised me not to worry
It would come out all right!
To my way of thinkin'
My dance is stinkin'
I don't know my left from my right!

The people around me can all-sing
"A-one and a-two and a-three"
But any resemblance to waltzing
Is just coincidental with me!

'Cause Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry
And so I took a chance
To me it resembles The nine day trembles
But he guarantees it's a dance!

My tango resembles a two-step
My rumba makes people turn pale
My conga goes into a goose-step
Till the FBI is doggin' my trail!

'Cause Arthur Murray Taught me dancin' in a hurry
Maybe the stars were wrong
If I ain't a menace To Ruth St Dennis
I'll do until one comes along!

Turkey trot
Or gavotte?
Don't know which
Don't know what
Jitterbug?
Bunny hug?
Long as you
Cut a rug!

Walk the dog
Do the frog
Lindy hop
Till you drop!
Ball the jack
Back to back
Cheek to cheek
Till you're weak

You've heard of Pavlova?
Well Jack, move over!
Make way for the queen of the dance!
