(We'll Stroll Through The Park) Just As We Used To Do
(We'll Stroll Through The Park) Just As We Used To Do
Composer(s): Lew Brown;
Ed Moran; Roy Ingraham
Mabel used to worry, Mabel used to pout
She said "Oh! will my darling Jack be the same when he gets back"
Mabel got a cable, now Mabel doesn't doubt
It read "My dear, I'm leaving here, my program's all mapped out"
Mabel swept the parlor, brought it up to date
she fixed the sofa where it would be in a place where none could see
Mabel now is nervous for she can hardly wait
She wrote to Jack
Said "Hurry back I think your plans are great"
We'll stroll through the park just as we used to do
We'll go for a lark just as we used to do
We'll sit in the parlor and turn the lights down
Low right on my knee is where you'll be and oh! oh! oh!
We'll hug and squeeze just as we used to do
We'll kiss and tease, just as we used to do
Your dad will yell, "turn up that light"
And what else can we do
We'll have to kiss and say "good night" just as we used to do

La Quête
La Quête
(Adapted from: The Impossible Dream - 1965/1966)
(Portuguese Version: Sonho Impossível - 1974)
Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh - Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel - 1969
and multiple other artists
Rêver un impossible rêve
Porter le chagrin des départs
Brûler d'une possible fièvre
Partir où personne ne part
Aimer jusqu'à la déchirure
Aimer, même trop, même mal
Tenter, sans force et sans armure
D'atteindre l'inaccessible étoile
Telle est ma quête
Suivre l'étoile
Peu m'importent mes chances
Peu m'importe le temps
Ou ma désespérance
Et puis lutter toujours
Sans questions ni repos
Se damner
Pour l'or d'un mot d'amour
Je ne sais si je serai ce héros
Mais mon cœur serait tranquille
Et les villes s'éclabousseraient de bleu
Parce qu'un malheureux
Brûle encore, bien qu'ayant tout brûlé
Brûle encore, même trop, même mal
Pour atteindre à s'en écarteler
Pour atteindre l'inaccessible étoile

Se På Mej
Se På Mej
Composer(s): Håkan Almqvist - Ingela "Pling" Forsman - Bobby Ljunggren
First performance by: Jan Johansen - 1995
När din väg är lång, du är trött
men du måste ändå gå
Och när skuggorna börjar växa och få liv
och när natten skrämmer så
är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar
Hos dig stannar jag kvar
Se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att bära dig
Se på mig, åhoj i ljus och mörker
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
När du står en dag
vid ett vägskäl i ditt liv
som ett vilset litet barn
är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar
och hos dig stannar jag kvar
Se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att bära dig
Se på mig, åhoj i ljus och mörker
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Jag går med dig vart du går
och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Så se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att älska dig
Se på mig, åhoj när ljuset blir till mörker i ditt liv
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Jag älskar dig så

Put Your Dreams Away
Composer(s): Frederick Loewe; Paul Mann; George David Weiss
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists
Put your dreams away for another day
And I will take their place in your heart
Wishing on a star never got you far
And so it's time to make a new start
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away
When your dreams at night
Fade before you
Then I'll have the right
To adore you
Let your kiss confess this is happiness, darling
And put all your dreams away

Sonho De Um Carnaval
Sonho De Um Carnaval
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists
Carnaval, desengano
Deixei a dor em casa me esperando
E brinquei e gritei e fui vestido de rei
Quarta-feira sempre desce o pano
Carnaval, desengano
Essa morena me deixou sonhando
Mão na mão, pé no chão
E hoje nem lembra não
Quarta-feira sempre desce o pano
Era uma canção, um só cordão
E uma vontade
De tomar a mão
De cada irmão pela cidade
No carnaval, esperança
Que gente longe viva na lembrança
Que gente triste possa entrar na dança
Que gente grande saiba ser criança

Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey
Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey
Composer(s): Junie McCree; Albert Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Dick Haymes;
and various other artists
Night time am a-fallin', everything is still
And the moon am a shinin' from above
Cupid am a callin' every Jack and Jill
It's just about the time for making love
Someone is a-waiting all along for me
No more hesitating, I must go and see
"How dee do, Dear, it's with you dear
That I love to be"
Put your arms around me, Honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh! Oh! Won't you roll those eyes?
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a rockin' like a motor boat
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you
Music am a-playin' such a "Loving Glide"
That my feet keep a moving to and fro
And with you a-swayin', I'll be satisfied
To dance until we hear the roosters crow
I love seven 'leven, I love chicken too
Nearest thing to heaven is to be with you
For I'm spoony, moony, loony, but my love is true
Put Your Arms Around Me Honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh! Oh! Won´t you roll those eyes
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a rockin´ like a motorboat
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you

Put your arms around her
That's where your love is
Don't let my broken heart stand in the way

But you slipped through my arms
So if that's the way it has to be
Put your arms around her
That's where your dreams are
And if you're happy then that's good enough for me
I've tried so hard to hold you
But you slipped through my arms
So if that's the way it has to be

Baunilha E Chocolate
Baunilha E Chocolate
First performance by: Tó Cruz - 1995
Que povo é este, teu e meu
Onde passou deitou raíz?
Mudou o mar, mudou o céu
Onde não era amanhecer
Fez do mundo o seu país
E o teu avô andou por lá
A minha avó pôs cá o pé
Nosso amor é todo mar
Tens perfume de luar
Tenho gosto de café
Amada de branca pele
És nata no meu chamá
Tem mais paladar que o mel
Casar baunilha com chocolate
Gaivota branca foi achar
Naquelas terras mais a sul
Gente e doce e musical
Que em seu canto tropical
Pôs o sonho e o mar azul
Quem temperou o nosso amor
Feito à guitarra e violão
No vai-vem da caravela
Com pimenta e com canela
Com jindo e açafrão
Amada de branca pele
És nata no meu chamá
Tem mais paladar que o mel
Casar baunilha com chocolate
Que povo é este que partiu
E foi dobrar o Bojador?
Este povo que sentiu o feitiço, o desafio
De inventar um novo amor
Das mãos unidas nasce a flor
E cada beijo sabe a paz
Quando a alma sente o amor
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor
Preto ou branco tanto faz
Quando a alma sente o amor
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor
Preto ou branco tanto faz

Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists
If they say we were doin' wrong
If they say we were out too long
Well, you can say
My arms were just too strong
Put the blame, put the blame on me
Felt so good when I held you tight
Couldn't stop when we kissed goodnight
So if they tell us we don't heave the right
Put the blame, put the blame on me
What I feel is deep inside
This is real and I won't hide
Go ahead, use my name
I'll be proud to take the blame
You just did what I made you do
You love me and I love you
So if the way they talk can bother you
Put the blame, put the blame on me

Songs To Aging Children Come
Songs To Aging Children Come
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
Through the windless wells of wonder
By the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the king and queen
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
Some come dark and strange like dying
Crows and ravens whistling
Lines of weeping, strings of crying
So much said in listening
Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one
Does the moon play only silver
When it strums the galaxy
Dying roses will they will their
Perfumed rhapsodies to me
Songs to aging children come
This is one

Songs Out Of Clay
Songs Out Of Clay
Composer(s): Al Stewart
Performer(s): Al Stewart
Oh I know that you are an artist she said
For you make your songs out of clay
You carry the dust on your hands and your knees
You never quite brushed it away
You were trying to chisel a perfect truth
When the instrument broke in your hand
Now you sit alone on the greenhouse roof
With your shoes full of sand.
And the golden rays of the sun
Divide in the slanting mists of the rain
And Maggie is on the road again

Performer(s): Anita Ellis;
and various other artists
When Mrs. O'Leary's cow
Kicked the lantern in Chicago town
They say that started the fire
That burned Chicago down

But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame kissed a buyer from out of town
That kiss burned Chicago down
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Remember the blizzard, back in Manhattan
In eighteen-eighty-six
They say that traffic was tied up
And folks were in a fix
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame gave a chump such an ice-cold "No"
For seven days they shovelled snow
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in nineteen-six
They said that Mother Nature
Was up to her old tricks
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
One night she started to shim and shake
That brought on the Frisco quake
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
They once had a shootin' up in the Klondike
When they got Dan McGrew
Folks were putting the blame on
The lady known as Lou
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame did a dance called the hoochy-coo
That's the thing that slew McGrew
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

Love City Groove
Composer(s): Paul Hardy - Jay Williams - Tatsiana Mais - Stephen Rudden
First performance by: Love City Groove - 1995
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin' love now, uh...
Ooh, baby, you know how I been feelin'
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe, ooh babe)
Ooh, baby, you know how I been feelin'
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe, ooh babe)
Uh...
Baby, baby, baby, you got me goin' crazy
I'm feelin' kinda high, my mind is gettin' hazy
But when I think of you, I know just what to do
You make me feel so happy when I'm feelin' blue
You're pickin' me up with a kiss, a touch o' your hand
You're all that I want, you're everything I planned
Like a fairy tale story, you're the man o' my dreams
My knight in shining armour, well, that's how it seems
You greet me in the morning with a kiss and a smile
And for the rest of the day I'm on cloud nine
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...)
It may sound like fantasy, but to me, it's real
And I could trust my emotions 'cause I know what I feel
What we have is special, and that it would last
Our hearts beaten as one, it's pumpin' blood real fast
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...)
'Cause the connection is truly from above
And I thank God
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
Now baby, baby, when I first saw your face
I saw you had flavour and I wanted a taste of this sweet thing
But now there's so much more
'Cause everyday I'm thinkin' about what my baby has in store
Trust and believe, day to day, you never doubt her
'Cause I used to have a dream girl, but now I found her
And she's by my side, she's my pride, my all
Ten foot tall, that's how I feel, I never fall, I never fell
Oh... what the hell, I'll admit it
Love was the target and you hit it
So as I watch you sleep in the middle of the night
You open your eyes and I know it's so right
Two hearts, two minds, two people, one love
And the way you're makin' me feel
It's like you're sent from up above
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...)
Your touch, your smell, your face, a unique breed
It's only love but it's all that I need
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin' love now, uh...
I'm glad that I been found, always wanted you around
Keepin' me lost for words, yeah, I know how that sounds
Now I been to many places and I seen many things
But nothin' that I know can ever make my heart sing like you do
It's like a voodoo, you know what I'm sayin'?
Baby girl, I ain't playin'
I'm glad that I'm the one to rock your world
'Cause honey - yeah...
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now

La Voix Est Libre
La Voix Est Libre
First performance by: Frédéric Etherlinck - 1995
La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et on s'en fout
En équilibre sur les genoux
La voix est libre, libre de tout
La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et on s'en fout
Prends-toi pour cible, tiens-toi debout
La voix est libre, libre de tout
Libre de crier tes rêves
Le matin quand tu te lèves
T'inventer un face-à-face devant ta glace
Regarde-toi dans les yeux et parle avec qui tu veux
Tu t'es pas levé pour rien, c'est déjà bien
La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et on s'en fout
En équilibre sur les genoux
La voix est libre, libre de tout
Libre d'effacer l'écran
De ces images de noir et sang
Tu peux changer les couleurs qui te font peur
Quand tu descends dans la rue, si on t'a pas reconnu
T'as pas crié assez fort, essaie encore
La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et on s'en fout
En équilibre sur les genoux
La voix est libre, libre de tout
La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et tu t'en fous
Chacun sa bible écris partout
La voix est libre, libre de tout
