Sing


Sing
Composer(s): Joe Raposo
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Sing, sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things not bad
Sing of happy not sad

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

Sing, sing a song
Let the world sing along
Sing of love there could be
Sing for you and for me

Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not
Good enough for anyone else to hear
Just sing, sing a song

Pensamento


Pensamento
Composer(s): Raimundo Fagner
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner



Perdido em meus pensamentos
É que me encontro tão só
Na boca um sabor de veneno
No peito, aquele nó
Esperando em qualquer caminho
Um dia, te encontrar
Peito a peito, frente a frente
Meu amor, o que é que há?
Ai meu amor
A vida pode se acabar
Que queres mais que eu faça
Além do grito no ar?
A ilusão, do tempo a esperar por mim
Te quero o tempo todo, perto de mim
Não sei o que é de direito
Mas tudo em mim é você
Quando é pra falar de amor
Já começo a enlouquecer...
Ai coração
Faz o teu fogo arder
Naquele abraço amigo
Na noite que vai chover
Naquele abraço amigo

Sincerità


Sincerità
Composer(s): Riccardo Cocciante; Étienne Roda-Gil
First release by: Riccardo Cocciante - 1983



Ho lavorato tutto il giorno però
quando arriva la notte, nel cielo
restano sempre le stelle
Nel fiume vedo galleggiare una foglia
portata via dalla vita, ma so che
naviga verso le stelle
Sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te
sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei io da te
Nel fiume vedo galleggiare una foglia
Portata via dalla vita, ma so che
naviga verso le stelle
Ho perso tutto lavorando però ritorno
nella tua vita, nel cielo restano sempre le stelle
Sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te
sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei io da te
Ho perso tutto lavorando però ritorno
nella tua vita, nel cielo restano sempre le stelle
Vorrei poterti dare tutto di me
i giorni e tutte le notti polvere,sogni e luci di stelle
Sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei dare a te
sincerit…, questo è il nome che vorrei io da te

Penny Serenade


Penny Serenade
Composer(s): Melle Weersma; Arthur William Hallifax
Performer(s): Al Bowlly;
and various other artists



Once I strayed ‘neath the window
Of a lovely, lovely lady
And she smiled while I softly played
My penny serenade

Si si si, you can hear it for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade

In her eyes shone the tender dawn of love
And sweet surrender
As for me, in my heart I played a lovers’ serenade

Si si si, hear my love song for a penny
Si si si, just a penny serenade

In a dream so divine, she was mine
No word had been spoken
When I woke from my dreams, she was gone
No word had been spoken

Still I pray that wherever she may be
She will remember
In her heart, she will always hear
My penny serenade

(Si si si)
Si si si
(You can hear it for a penny)
You can hear it for a penny
(Si si si}
Si si si
(Just a penny serenade)
Just a penny serenade
Just a penny serenade

Sol De Inverno


Sol De Inverno
First performance by: Simone de Oliveira - 1965



Sabe deus que eu quis
Contigo ser feliz
Viver ao sol do teu olhar
Mais terno
Morto o teu desejo
Vivo o meu desejo
Primavera em flor
Ao sol de inverno
Sonhos que sonhei
Onde estão
Horas que vivi
Quem as tem
De que serve ter coração
E não ter o amor de ninguém
Beijos que te dei
Onde estão
A quem foste dar
O que é meu
Vale mais não ter coração
Do que ter e não ter, como eu
Eu em troca de nada
Dei tudo na vida
Bandeira vencida
Rasgada no chão
Sou a data esquecida
A coisa perdida
Que vai a leilão.
Sonhos que sonhei
Onde estão
Horas que vivi
Quem as tem
De que serve ter coração
E não ter o amor de ninguém
Vivo de saudades, amor
A vida perdeu fulgor
Como o sol de inverno
Não tenho calor

Performer(s): Lionel Richie;
and various other artists



Penny lover, don't walk on by
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
Can't you see girl, who my heart's beating for
You're the only girl that I adore

The first time I saw you
Oh, you looked so fine
And I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
Honey you came along and captured my heart
Now my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm all alone it's you that I miss
Girl a love like yours is hard to resist
Oh, Oh, Ooh, Ooh, Oh

Penny lover, my love's on fire
Penny lover, you're my one desire
Tell me baby could this be true
That I could need someone, like I need you

Nights warm and tender
Lying next to you
Girl I surrender
Oh, what more can I do
I've spent all of my life in search of your love
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say
Don't you ever take your sweet love away
Girl I'll do anything, just please stay
Oh, Oh

I don't understand it, Oh what's come over me
But I'm not gonna worry, no not anymore
'Cause when a man's in love, he's only got one story
That's why my love is somewhere lost in your kiss
When I'm lost and alone it's you that I miss
With a love like yours, it's hard to resist
Ooh, Ooh, Oh

Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
Penny lover, don't you make me cry (don't you make me cry baby)
Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
Penny lover, don't you make me cry (Oh penny baby)
Penny lover, don't you walk on by (don't you walk on by)
I remember the first time I saw you baby
Penny lover, don't you make me cry
You had the look in your eye, you had the look in your eye, Yeah,
Yeah
Ooh pretty baby
I just wanted to reachout and touch you baby
I just want to reach out and hold ya, I want to reach out and say
Ooh, Ooh
Don't make me cry
I wanna talk about you everyday (Penny lover)
Need you, need you baby ...

Penny Lane


Penny Lane
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles



Penny Lane there in a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say "Hello"
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
And little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain - very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies in summer
Meanwhile back behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain - very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies...
Penny Lane!

Since You've Asked


Since You've Asked
Composer(s): Judy Collins
First release by: Judy Collins - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



What I'll give you since you asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and Rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked along
Looking for tomorrow’s time
Peace of mind

As my life spills into yours
Changing with the hours
Filling up the world with time
Turning time to flowers
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before

We have seen a million stones lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taken off the days one by one
Setting them to breathe in the sun

Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give
This is what I ask you for
Nothing more

Penny Arcade


Penny Arcade
Composer(s): Sammy King
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



A light shown in the night some way ahead
Blue turned into green then it was red
And stirring the night love music played the light
I saw in the night was a penny arcade

Hey step up and play each machine seemed to say
As I walked round and round the penny arcade
Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle
And you’ll make all those colored lights cascade
And music played at the penny arcade
Yes it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime

At first I thought it a dream that I was in
Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin
But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans
I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machine

Repeat chorus

Oh! (repeat chorus)

Roll up and spend your last
Roll up and spend your last
Roll up and spend your last dime

Absent Friends (Ingvar Wixell)


Absent Friends First performance by: Ingvar Wixell - 1965



A night of spring is a lovely thing
But I feel sad in this night of spring
For this is the time the sloe gets bright
And this is a most bewitching night
And I am lonely and you are far
And you can't hear what I sing

I wish I knew where you are tonight
I wish you're thinking of me tonight
Where are you tonight?
I wish you feel how I long for you
And I wish you're missing me too
And I wish I knew where to go
Knowing you
Knowing you

We ought to walk where the cowslips grow
Behind the hedge of candescent sloe
And you ought to smile and look at me
And I ought to kiss you tenderly
But I don't know if you still are mine
This lovely evening of spring

I wish I knew where you are tonight
I wish you're thinking of me tonight
Where are you tonight?

I wish you feel how I long for you
And I wish you're missing me too
And I wish I knew where to go
Knowing you
Knowing you

Tonight

Since You Broke My Heart


Since You Broke My Heart
Composer(s): Don Everly
First recording/First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1959/1960
Covered by multiple other artists



They say the blues went out of style
To cry is to act just like a child
Smile each day that we're apart
But I kind of feel I never will
Since you broke me heart

They say the best way's not to care
Just play a few hands of solitaire
Read a book or study art
All the remedies don't work for me
Since you broke my heart

They say the blues went out of style
To cry is to act just like a child
Smile each day that we're apart
But I kind of feel I never will
Since you broke me heart

Pennies From Heaven


Pennies From Heaven
Composer(s): Arthur Johnston; Johnny Burke
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



Every time it rains, it rains, pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains pennies from heaven?
You'll find your fortune's fallin' all over the town
Make sure that your umbrella is upside down

Trade them for a package of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love, you must have showers
So, when you hear it thunder, don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

So take a big deep breath of the clean fresh air
Put a smile on your face be a millionaire
The streets outside
Are paved with gold
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me

Va Dire À L'amour


Va Dire À L'amour
Composer(s): Raymond Bernard; Jacques Mareeuil
First performance by: Marjorie Noël - 1965



Va dire à l'amour
Que j'ait dix-sept ans
Dis-lui qu'en rêvant
Je l'attends, je l'attends, je l'attends

Va dire à l'amour
Qu'il vienne en copain
Et nous verrons bien
Si mon cœur, si mon cœur le retient

Tu sauras mieux que moi
Le trouver dans la nuit
Tu sauras mieux que moi
Lui parler en ami

Va dire à l'amour
Qu'avant son éveil
Mes jours sont pareils
À des jours et des jours sans soleil

Mais pourquoi, mais pour qui
Sont les fleurs du printemps?
Mais pourquoi et pour qui
Bat mon cœur plus souvent?

Va dire à l'amour
Que j'ait dix-sept ans
Dis-lui qu'en rêvant
Je l'attends, je l'attends, je l'attends
Et qu'il pense à moi longtemps

Pénélope


Pénélope
Performer(s): Georges Brassens



Toi l'épouse modèle
Le grillon du foyer
Toi qui n'a point d'accrocs
Dans ta robe de mariée
Toi l'intraitable Pénélope
En suivant ton petit
Bonhomme de bonheur
Ne berces-tu jamais
En tout bien tout honneur
De jolies pensées interlopes
De jolies pensées interlopes...

Derrière tes rideaux
Dans ton juste milieu
En attendant l'retour
D'un Ulysse de banlieue
Penchée sur tes travaux de toile
Les soirs de vague à l'âme
Et de mélancolie
N'as tu jamais en rêve
Au ciel d'un autre lit
Compté de nouvelles étoiles
Compté de nouvelles étoiles...

N'as-tu jamais encore
Appelé de tes vœux
L'amourette qui passe
Qui vous prend aux cheveux
Qui vous compte des bagatelles
Qui met la marguerite
Au jardin potager
La pomme défendue
Aux branches du verger
Et le désordre à vos dentelles
Et le désordre à vos dentelles...

N'as-tu jamais souhaité
De revoir en chemin
Cet ange, ce démon
Qui son arc à la main
Décoche des flèches malignes
Qui rend leur chair de femme
Aux plus froides statues
Les bascul' de leur socle
Bouscule leur vertu
Arrache leur feuille de vigne
Arrache leur feuille de vigne...

N'aie crainte que le ciel
Ne t'en tienne rigueur
Il n'y a vraiment pas là
De quoi fouetter un cœur
Qui bat la campagne et galope
C'est la faute commune
Et le péché véniel
C'est la face cachée
De la lune de miel
Et la rançon de Pénélope
Et la rançon de Pénélope...

Since I've Used My Bible For A Roadmap


Since I've Used My Bible For A Roadmap
Composer(s): Don Reno; Charles Schroeder
Performer(s): Reno & Smiley; Allan McHale "Mac" & The Old Time Radio Gang



Since I've used my bible for a road map
I've been traveling toward the promised land
There has been no worry or obstruction
No rough pavement and no sinking sand

I'm on the right road to glory
Jesus leads me by the hand
Since I've used my bible for a road map
All my earthly travels have been grand

Since I've used my bible for a road map
I'm insured by Jesus day and night
And if I take the wrong direction
My bible will always steer me right

Als Het Weer Lente Is


Als Het Weer Lente Is
Composer(s): Jaak Dreesen; Jef Vanden Berg
First performance by: Lize Marke - 1965



Ik spaar de druppels van de dauw als het weer lente is
Ik koop voor jou net wat je wou als het jou feestdag is
Ik zal voor altijd op je blijven wachten
En in gedachten ben ik bij jou
Ik tel de sterren van april die aan de hemel staan
Ik wou zo graag met jou gelukkig door het leven gaan
Ik spaar voor jou de parels van de dauw
Als het waar lente is voor jou
Ik zal elke avond de deuren gaan sluiten
Ik zal elke avond de lichten uit doen
Wij zullen des zomers picknicken gaan buiten
En voor elke hap, krijg jij ook een zoen
Ik spaar de druppels van de dauw als het weer lente is
Ik koop voor jou net wat je wou als het jou feestdag is
Ik zal voor altijd op je blijven wachten
En in gedachten ben ik bij jou
Ik tel de sterren van april die aan de hemel staan
Ik wou zo graag met jou gelukkig door het leven gaan
Ik spaar voor jou de parels van de dauw
Als het weer lente is voor jou

Pencil Thin Mustache


Pencil Thin Mustache
Composer(s): Jimmy Buffett
Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett;
and various other artists



Now they make new movies in old black and white
With happy endings, where nobody fights
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage
Honey, jump right up and show your age

Chorus:
I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
The "Boston Blackie" kind
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny
Writin' fan letters to Sky King and Penny
Oh I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could solve some mysteries too

Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast
Drinkin' on a fake I.D.
Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana
Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could solve some mysteries too

Then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge
But all you want to do is learn how to score

Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair
But I can go to movies and see it all there
Just the way that it used to be

Chorus:
That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
The "Boston Blackie" kind
A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby
If I only had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could do some cruisin' too

Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
