Come Home
Come Home
Composer(s): Dave Clark; Mike Smith
Originally performed by: The Dave Clark Five
As I write my letter today
Tears start fallin' from my eyes
I remember things we used to say
And the ties that bind our love
Only one thing I want to do
Come home (whoa yeah)
Come home
Long as I know I'm comin' home to you
I'm comin' home
Please remember while I'm away
I think of you night and day
Of the things, of the fun
While we were one
Only one thing I want to do
Come home, come home
Long as I know I'm comin' home to you
I didn't think I'd ever be, whoa whoa
As bad as it's been, no-no-no
But now I'm comin' home
To give you a ring
As I write my letter today
Tears start fallin' from my eyes
I remember things we used to say
And the ties that bind our love
Only one thing I want to do
Come home (whoa whoa yeah)
Come home
Long as I know I'm comin' home to you
Only one thing I want to do
Come home (whoa whoa)
Come home
Long as I know I'm comin' home to you

Rio Nights (The Blue Diamonds)
Rio Nights
Performer(s): The Blue Diamonds
Rio nights are full of silent splendour
Down in dreamy old Brazil
Stars begin to shine, and one that I call mine
Just waits for me, I know she loves me still
The fleecy clouds like mantles hide the hilltops
There beside the Southern sea
At this bewitching hour, beneath an old rose bower
Somebody there is lonesome just for me
Rio nights are full of silent splendour
Down in dreamy old Brazil
Stars begin to shine, and one that I call mine
Just waits for me, I know she loves me still
The fleecy clouds like mantles hide the hilltops
There beside the Southern sea
At this bewitching hour, beneath an old rose bower
Somebody there is lonesome just for me
Somebody there is lonesome just for me

The Syncopated Clock
The Syncopated Clock
((Danish Version: Det Taktløse Ur (Gustav Winckler) - 1952))
Composer(s): Leroy Anderson - Mitchell Parish
First release by: Leroy Anderson and His "Pops" Concert Orch.
Covered by multiple other artists
There was a man like you and me
As simple as a man could ever be
And he was happy as a king
Except for one peculiar thing
He had a clock that worked all right
It worked all right, but not exactly quite
Instead of going "tick, tock, tick"
The crazy clock went "tock, tick, tock"
The poor old man just raved and raved
Because nobody could say
Why his silly clock behaved
That hickory dickory way
.
But now a famous man is he
He owns a public curiosity
From far and wide the people flock
To hear the syncopated clock
Tick-a-tock, tick-a-tock
There's a zing in the swing of that clock
Tock-a-tick, tock-a-tick
Don't you think it's a marvelous trick
Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling
There's a zong in the bong of that ring
Ling-a-ting, ling-a-ting
Don't you think it's a wonderful thing
The experts came to hear and see
But none of them could solve the mystery
They called Professor Einstein too
He said "There's nothing I can do"
But soon the fickle human race
Will find another freak to take its place
And one fine day the man will hock
The poor old syncopated clock

Come Hai Fatto
Come Hai Fatto
Composer(s): Francesci Migliacci; Domenico Modugno
Performer(s): Domenico Modugno;
Giancarlo Cardini; Mina
Io ti voglio bene
come nella mia vita non è accaduto mai
così profondamente che ho paura di me
di questo smisurato amore
che adesso provo per te
Io ti desidero
un desiderio nuovo che mi tormenta
talvolta mi domando
com'è possibile
che mi debba addormentare
mi debba risvegliare
andare e ritornare
e avere te sempre davanti a me
negli occhi miei
nei miei pensieri
in ogni istante della mia vita
Io ho bisogno di te
come la barca ha bisogno del mare
per poter andare
la primavera ha bisogno del sole
per poter fiorire
la farfalla di un fiore
un bimbo di una mano che l'accompagni
un cane di un padrone
e del vento l'aquilone per poter volare
ed io di te sempre vicino a me
in ogni istante della mia vita
Ma come hai fatto
a farmi innamorare così tanto
mi guardo nello specchio
e mi domando
se quello lì sono io
ma come hai fatto
a far della mia vita
una tua cosa
a trasformare il tempo
in un'attesa
di rivedere te
no non ha senso
questa mia vita
e più ci penso
e più è un filo
nelle tue mani
Ma come hai fatto
non so nemmeno quando è incominciato
io so soltanto che nella mia vita
non è accaduto mai
la prima volta
che dico veramente
ti voglio bene
Negli occhi miei
nei miei pensieri
in ogni istante della mia vita
sempre vicino a me
Ma come hai fatto
a far della mia vita una tua cosa
a trasformare il tempo in un'attesa
di rivedere te
la prima volta che dico veramente
ti voglio bene

Rio Nights
Rio Nights
Composer(s): Elmer Vincent; Fisher Thompson
When night has fallen down in dear old Rio
Down in dreamy old Brazil
The stars begin to shine, and one that I call mine
Just waits for me
I know she loves me still
The fleecy clouds like mantles hide the hilltops
There beside the southern sea
At this bewitching hour, beneath an old rose bower
Somebody there is lonesome just for me
Rio nights are full of silent splendor
When the tropic moon is in the sky
I keep growing fonder
Every time I wander
With a maid who is so sweet and shy
Romantic Rio weaves a spell around you
Golden hours we spent so bright and gay
You just want to spoon
Parting comes too soon
When you linger down that Rio way
When night has fallen down in dear old Rio
Down in dreamy old Brazil
The one I call my own
Is now no more alone
I sit beside her there when all is still
The fleecy clouds like mantles hide the moonlight
Out beyond the harbor lights
But at this wooing hour, we sit beneath our bower
United once again on Rio nights

The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)
The Sweetest Thing (I've Ever Known)
Composer(s): Otha Young
Performer(s): Juice Newton; Emile Pandolfi
When I see you in the morning
With that old sleep still in your eyes
I remember all the laughter
And the tears we shared last night
And as we lie here
Just two shadows
In the light before the dawn
The sweetest thing
I've ever known
Is lovin' you
And I have never been afraid of losin'
And I have never wanted love to be a chain
I only know that when I'm with you
You're my sunshine, you're my rain
The sweetest thing
I've ever known
Is lovin' you
Now you and I
We're not children
We have both been loved before
We have given and we have taken
Many rides on troubled shores
But all the heartaches and temptations
Only made me love you more
The sweetest thing
I've ever know
Is lovin' you
And I have never been afraid of losin'
And I have never wanted love to be a chain
I only know that when I'm with you
You're my sunshine, you're my rain
The sweetest thing
I've ever known
Is lovin' you
The sweetest thing
I've ever known
Is loving yooooooou

Rio Marrón
Rio Marrón
Composer(s): Jorge Fandermole
Performer(s): Juan Carlos Baglietto
No puedo perderte mujer del rio
cuerpo marrón, del rio marrón
las manos como ondas en la orilla
que la permanencia
en la confluencia
formando los muslos combados
espejos de luna fugitiva
Rio marrón
devolveme sangre abajo
de tu paso el lirio negro
que llegó junto a tu orilla
Rio, rio marrón
llevá en un pez esta canción
que alguien me espera
de cara a las estrellas
Causa arriba
Rio marrón
animal de barro que huye
que como la vida fluye
sin volver nunca a la altura
Si pudiera remontarte tiempo atrás
para ver la claridad
en su semblante
y no faltó un instante
de ternura, rio marrón
El agua que baja nunca es la misma
y al recordar nos vamos al mar
porque el pasado yace en lo profundo
y como el amor
dura una creciente
el dolor es caudal permanente
la sangre su espejo
y la vida reflejo del rio marrón
Rio marrón, devolveme
Rio marrón
Y el cielo que se rompe
desde aqui hasta el horizonte
luz de luna sumergida
si pudiera remontarte tiempo atras
para ver en la opacidad del tiempo ido
si aquel fulgor perdido
era la vida
rio marrón

The Sweetest Song In The World
The Sweetest Song In The World
Composer(s): Harry Parr-Davies
Performer(s): Gracie Fields
The sweetest song in the world is sung
When lights are low and your heart is young
We sang it together in the twilight glow
Not so very long ago, do you recall?
That sweet old song is the same today
I love you still in the same old way
For it is love and love alone can bring to you
The sweetest song in the world
Do you remember when you came along
And we both fell in love at a glance
Of course you remember, `twas loves old sweet song
That we sang in the springtime of romance
Even though dreams fade away
I know that I'm right when I say
(Gracie's soprano for two lines)
We sang it together in the twilight glow
Not so very long ago, do you recall?
That sweet old song is the same today
I love you still in the same old way
For it is love and love alone can bring to you
The sweetest song in the world

Come From The Heart
Come From The Heart
Composer(s): Susanna Clark; Richard Leigh
Performer(s): Don Williams
and various other artists
When I was a young man my daddy told me
A lesson he learned, it was a long time ago
If you want to have someone to hold onto
You're gonna have to learn to let go
You got to sing like you don't need the money
Love like you'll never get hurt
You got to dance like nobody's watchin'
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work
Now here is the one thing that I keep forgetting
When everything is falling apart
In life as in love, what I need to remember
There's such a thing as trying too hard

Rio Grande
Rio Grande
Composer(s): Claude Moine; Pierre Papadiamandis
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
Ça commence comme dans un film noir
Un jeune couple embarqué dans une sale histoire
P'tit voleurs fichés et recherchés
La vie les a changés en marginaux blessés
En cavale, changeant chaque soir
D'hôtel, d'identité
Évitant les bars
Bêtes traqués, une seule lueur d'espoir
Ça s'ra la fin du blues
Dans l'port de Vera Cruz
{Refrain:}
Rio, Rio Grande
Dès la frontière passée
Nous s'rons blanchis, sauvés
Rio, Rio Grande
Le temps va s'arrêter
Pour mieux nous oublier
On s'promet une vie, sans blues
Tout commence à Vera Cruz
Vrais mensonges, rêveurs éveillés
Le Mexique est bien loin du supermarché
Les vigiles nous ont vite repérés
Ça s'ra toujours le blues
Dans la banlieue d'Mulhouse
{Refrain...}

The Sweetest Melody Of All
The Sweetest Melody Of All
Composer(s): Grant Clarke - Jimmie V. Monaco
When I was born I had an ear for music, I loved sweet lullabies
And every morn' when I would hear sweet music, I'd open up my eyes
Father bought a baby grand, I learned to play it with one hand
Music always made me gay
And I'm the same today
Down in the hall we've got a pianola
It's going night and day
And that's not all
We bought a new victrola
To make the servants stay
All the kids have tuneful toys
Or anything for nifty noise
Tho' grandmother's eighty three
She sings close harmony
I love to hear sweet melodies, I love the song birds in the trees
I love an opera grand
A big brass band
Or any little tune from Dixie land
I love to hear the bugle call
For any tune I'm bound to fall
But to hear a little baby calling you papa
That's the sweetest melody of all
I love to hear sweet melodies, I love the song birds in the trees
I love an opera grand
A big brass band
Or any little tune from Dixie land
I love to hear the bugle call
For any tune I'm bound to fall
But to hear a little baby calling you mama
That's the sweetest melody of all

Questo paradiso
Nescio
Nella bocca del luppo
Nescio
Lo straniero ` morto
Nescio
Questo paradiso
I jumped off a bridge
And went swimming for hours
And nobody nobody's looking
I came to a hotel with
Double rooms and showers
And nobody nobody's knocking
The phone rings on a nightstand
Somebody whispers 'hello' I don't know
Too many words after so many miles
Somebody whispers 'hello' I don't know
I don't know

Questo paradiso

Rio Esperanza
Rio Esperanza
Composer(s): Bill Payne; Shaun Murphy
Performer(s): Little Feat
Texas to Tennessee Blue
Highway to Highway
Just to Get Back to You
With the Barren Winds Blowin’
A Jealous Moon ‘cross the Plains
I’ll Only Be Runnin’ and Callin’ Your Name
I Should Have Never Left You
After What I Held Close
With the Hours Slippin’ By
From the One I Love Most
Chasing Days That Take Flight
And the Mist From My Eyes
I Die a Little Each Day With You So Far Away
Oh My Darlin’ I’ve Cried These Many Miles
A Kiss in the Shadows, a Whispered Memory
I’ll Be Waiting, All of My Life, Only My Only (Only My Lonely)
Rio Esperanza, It’s the River of Hope
There’s a Place in My Heart Where You’ll Always Be
Where the Shallows Run Long, and the Driftin’ Is Free
Oh My Darlin’ I’ve Cried These Many Miles
A Kiss in the Shadows, a Whispered Memory
I’ll Be Waiting, All of My Life, Only My Only (Only My Lonely)
Rio Esperanza, It’s the River of Hope
Across Windswept Hills Your Voice Calms to Caress Me
Like a Lover Stealing Glances
I Can’t Wait to Hold You
See the Light Flicker Softly
In a Blue Silverscape
It’s Such Sweet Surrender (And) I’ve Come Home Again
Oh My Darling
A Kiss in the Shadows
A Whispered Memory
I'll Be Waiting
All of My Life
Only My Only
Rio Esperanza
It's the River of Hope

The Swan
The Swan
Composer(s): Jule Styne - Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
What are ya gonna do?
Shoot da swans? These lovelies?
Can't you see when you look at me
What a lovely creature is a swan - yo hoo!!
I'm all over fluffy white
I wouldn't peck at you or bite
And have tiny twinkle toes to dance upon-
Oh was that good?
So you just gotta have a swan
Or you're out of luck
`Cause a chicken wouldn't do it
Would only cluck
And besides you couldn't say
"I saw a chicken leg ballet"
They would think you don't know nothin'
You are missing you are button
`Cause a chicken's only good for consummate
Where upon, where upon,
Where upon where upon
A chicken or a duck is a mistake
When you do Swan Lake Ballet!

Come Fly With Me
Come Fly With Me
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn; Jimmy van Heusen
Originally performed by: Frank Sinatra
Covered by various other artists
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land, there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, we'll float down in the blue
Once I get you up there where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may hear angels cheer because we're together
Weatherwise it's such a lovely day
You just say the word, and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It´s perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Performer(s): Randy Crawford;
and various other artists
The clouds come-a creepin' and you got me weepin' this moment
I can't believe you're really gonna leave this town
everyone knows, I can't make a move with you
you're turnin' my whole world, upside-down
and I get a feelin' that I've seen the last of you, Rio De Janeior Blue
The salty air, your wind-blown hair, reflection on a dream
thoughts of you with who knows who, flowin' through me like a stream
Brazilian serenades, linger on
help me lose my soul, in your song
and I get a feelin', that I've seen that last of you, Rio De Janeiro Blue
Rio De Janeiro Blue
Months go by, I wonder why, I'm left here on my own
could it be my destiny, is to live this life alone
these dark and rainy days have turned me cold
long and sleepless nights, gettin' on
and I get a feelin' that I've seen the last of you, Rio De Janeiro Blue
Rio De Janeiro Blue
Rio.... Rio, De Janeiro Blue
Long and sleepless nights, whoa no
Rio...... Rio

Swamp Girl
Swamp Girl
Composer(s): Lew Brown
Performer(s): Frankie Laine; Ramsey Lewis
Where the crane flies through the marshes
And the turtles sun their shells
Where the water rat goes swimmin'
That's where my swamp girl dwells
Where the sunlight never wanders
And the moonlight never falls
Where the water's black with the devil's track
That's where my swamp girl calls
What did she say there
The girl with the golden hair
To make me follow her down there
How did she look when she took me by the hand
Tonight her hair will float in the water
And the gold will no longer shine
It will spread like a fan in the water
While she makes a mysterious sign
I have seen that sign before
Her eyes aren't like the whippoorwill
And her eyes aren't like the frog
Her eyes are like the damned bat
Stretchin' in the dawn
I have seen her face in the water
And the chilling look in her eyes
And if you see her, then you must flee her
Never follow where disillusion lies
Or will you go to the girl with the golden hair
Down there where her work is done
Will you embrace the night
And turn your back on the sun
She'll say its better there in the water
Where it's cool and calm and serene
She will call you to come to the water
To a world made of emerald green
I have heard that call before
I can hear it when I'm teary
I can hear it when I'm old
I can hear it when the joy of living
Seems to have lost its glow
For my Swamp Girl lives inside of me
And she leaves me pale and wan
She dares me, she tears me
Like paper dolls are torn
Calling "Come to the deep
Where your sleep is without a dream"
(Come to the deep where your sleep is without a dream)
Calling... (Come...)
