Ribbon Of Darkness
Ribbon Of Darkness
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot;
and various other artists
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds a-atherin' o'er my head
That kill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is falling on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she is gone from the meadow
My love goodbye
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
Ribbon of darkness over me
Here in this cold room lyin'
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you
Oh how I wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day
Come on home and take away
This ribbon of darkness over me

The Sky Is Cryin’
Can you see the tears roll down the street
The Sky Is Cryin’
Can you see the tears roll down the street
I’ve been lookin’ for my baby
And I wonder where she can be
I saw may baby early one mornin’
She was walking on down the street
I saw may baby early this mornin’
She was walking on down the street
You known it hurt me… hurt me so bad
Made my poor heart skip a beat
I’ve got a real, real, real, real bad feelin’... that my baby she don’t love me no more
I’ve got a real, real, real bad feelin’... that my baby don’t love me no more
You know the sky... the sky’s been cryin’ yah
Can you see the tears roll down my nose

The Secret Language Of Birds
The Secret Language Of Birds
Composer(s): Ian Anderson
Performer(s): Ian Anderson
This sparkling wine is all but empty
Too late for trains and no taxis
I know the feeling
Seems all too contrived
There was no master plan but the fact is
you must stay with me and learn the secret language of birds
A tentative dawn about to be breaking
on a Rousseau garden with monkeys in hiding
The truth of the matter, yet to be spoken
in words on which everything, everything's riding
Now stay with me and learn the secret language of birds
Circled by swallows
in a world for the weary
Courted by warblers; wicked and eloquent trilling
Lie in the stillness, window cracked open
Extended moments, hours for the taking
Careless hair on the pillow, a bold brushstroke
Painted verse with a chorus in waiting
Stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

Ribbon In The Sky
Ribbon In The Sky
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder;
and various other artists
Oh so long for this night I prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love
If allowed may I touch your hand
And if pleased may I once again
So that you too will understand
There's a ribbon in the sky for our love
Do...Do...
Do Do Do Do Do...
Hmm Hmm...
This is not a coincidence
And far more than a lucky chance
But what is that was always meant
Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love
We can't lose with God on our side
We'll find strength in each tear we cry
From now on it will be you and I
And our ribbon in the sky
Ribbon in the sky
A ribbon in the sky for our love
Do...Do...
Do Do Do Do Do...
Hmm Hmm...
There's a ribbon in the sky for our love

Riacho Do Navio
Riacho Do Navio
Composer(s): Luiz Gonzaga; Zé Dantas
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Riacho do Navio corre pro Pajeú
O rio Pajeú vai despejar no São Francisco
O rio São Francisco vai bater no meio do mar
Se eu fosse um peixe
Ao contrário do rio
Nadava contra as águas e nesse desafio
Saía lá do mar, pro riacho do navio
Eu ia diretinho pro riacho do navio
Fazer o meu ranchinho
Fazer umas caçadas, vê as pegas de boi
Andar nas vaquejadas
Dormir ao som do cocalho
E acordar na passarada
Sem rádio e sem notícia
Das terras civilizadas
Meu amor não vá s’imbora
Fique mais um bocadinho
Se você for seu nêgo chora
Vamos ficar mais um tiquinho
Quando eu entro numa farra
Não quero sair mais não
Vou até quebra a barra
E pegar o sol com a mão

The Second Time Around
The Second Time Around
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
First performance by: Bing Crosby - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
Love is lovelier the second time around
Just as wonderful with both feet on the ground
It's that second time you hear your love song sung
Makes you think, perhaps, that love, like youth
is wasted on the young
Love's more comfortable the second time you fall
Like a friendly home, the second time you call
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around
Who can say what brought us to this miracle we've found?
There are those who'll bet love comes but once, and yet
I'm oh so glad we met the second time around

Cocktails For Two
Cocktails For Two
Composer(s): Arthur Johnston - Sam Coslow
Performer(s): Carl Brisson
and multiple other artists
Oh what delight to be given the right
To be carefree and gay once again
No longer slinking, respectably drinking
Like civilized ladies and men
No longer need we miss
A charming scene like this....
In some secluded rendezvous
That overlooks the avenue
With someone sharing a delightful chat
Of this and that, and cocktails for two
As we enjoy a cigarette
To some exquisite chansonnette
Two hands are sure to slyly meet beneath
A serviette, with cocktails for two
My head may go reeling
But my heart will be obedient
With intoxicating kisses
For the principal ingredient
Most any afternoon at five
We'll be so glad we're both alive
Then maybe fortune will complete her plan
That all began with cocktails for two

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
and let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
looking for a brand new start
but little does she know that when she left that day
along with her she took my heart
Rain, please, tell me now, does that seem fair
for her to steal my heart away when she don’t care
I can’t love another when my heart’s somewhere far away
The only girl I care about has gone away
looking for a brand new start
but little does she know that when she left that day
along with her she took my heart
Falling rain
Cry in vain
But, rain, won’t you tell her that I love her so
Please, ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart, and let the love we knew start to grow
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
and let me be alone again
Falling rain
Falling rain
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Falling rain
Listen to the rhythm of the
Listen to the rhythm of the
Cry in vain
Listen to the rhythm of the
The only girl I care about has gone away
looking for a brand new start
but little does she know that when she left that day
along with her she took my heart

The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true
The second star to the right
Shines with a light that's rare
And if it's Never Land you need
It's light will lead you there
Twinkle, twinkle little star
So I'll know where you are
Gleaming in the skies above
Lead me to the one who loves me
And when you bring him my way
Each time we say "Goodnight"
We'll thank the little star that shines
The second from the right

Puisque ce soir tu es fâchée
C'est bien toi qui l'a cherché
Dans l'alcool je veux me noyer

Puisque tu bois pourquoi pas moi
Ta tête est plus dure que du bois
Et toi aussi
Barman! Un cocktail pour moi
Ma mère m'avait bien dit
Surtout méfie-toi de ce Johnny
Quand j'ai dit "j'épouse Sylvie"
Mes copains pleuraient

Les filles mon dieu quelle invention
Quelle catastrophe pour les garçons
Ça me servira de leçon
À moi aussi
Barman! Un cocktail pour moi
Mais qui c'est celui-là
J'attends Johnny ne restez-pas là
Mais que faites-vous ici

And that was the end
Of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost
Wheels her barrow
Through streets
Broad and narrow
Crying
