Torn Between Two Lovers


Torn Between Two Lovers
Composer(s): Peter Yarrow - Phillip Jarrel
Performer(s): Mary MacGregor
and multiple other artists



There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind
Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt
Before I say another world let me tell you:

I love you
Let me hold you close and say these words as gently as I can
There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved
But that doesn't mean I love you less
And he knows he can't possess me
And he knows he never will
There's just this empty place inside of me
That only he can fill

Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

You mustn't think you failed me
Just because there's someone else
You were the first real love I ever had
And all the things I ever said I swear they still are true
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you

Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

I couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
But with everything I feel inside I'm asking you to stay

Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules
Torn between two lovers
Feeling like a fool
Loving you both is breaking all the rules...

I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart


I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart
Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Irving Mills; Henry Nemo; John Redmond
First release by: Duke Ellington and His Orch. - 1938
Covered by multiple other artists



I let a song go out of my heart
It was the sweetest melody
I know I lost heaven 'cause you were the song

Since you and I have drifted apart
Life doesn't mean a thing to me
Please come back, sweet music, I know I was wrong

Am I too late to make amends?
You know that we were meant to be more than just friends, just friends

I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day

I let a song go out of my heart
Believe me, darlin', when I say
I won't know sweet music until you return some day

Junge, Komm Bald Wieder


Junge, Komm Bald Wieder
Composer(s): Lotar Olias; Walter Rothenburg
Performer(s): Freddy Quinn;
Heidi Kabel; Mantovani



Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus
Ich mach mir Sorgen, Sorgen um Dich
Denk auch an morgen, denk auch an mich
Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus

Wohin die Seefahrt mich im Leben trieb
ich weiß noch heute, was mir Mutter schrieb
in jedem Hafen kam ein Brief an Bord
und immer schrieb sie: “Bleib’ nicht so lange fort!”

Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus

Ich weiß noch, wie die erste Fahrt verlief
ich schlich mich heimlich fort, als Mutter schlief
Als sie erwachte, war ich auf dem Meer
Im ersten Brief stand: “Komm doch bald wieder her!”

Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus
Ich mach mir Sorgen, Sorgen um Dich
Denk auch an morgen, denk auch an mich
Junge, komm bald wieder, bald wieder nach Haus
Junge, fahr nie wieder, nie wieder hinaus

Torn And Frayed


Torn And Frayed
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
First recording/First release: The Rolling Stones - 1971/1972
Covered by multiple other artists



Hey let him follow you down
Way underground wind and he's bound
Bound to follow you down
Just a dead beat right off the street
Bound to follow you down
Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos
And dressing rooms filled with parasites
On stage the band has got problems
They're a bag of nerves on first nights
He ain't tied down to no home town
Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless
You think he's bad, he thinks you're mad
Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless

And his coat is torn and frayed
It's seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Let it steal your heart away

Joe's got a cough, sounds kind a rough
Yeah, and the codeine to fix it
Doctor prescribes, drug store supplies
Who's gonna help him to kick it

Well his coat is torn and frayed
It`s seen much better days
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away
Let it steal your heart away

I Left My Heart In San Francisco


I Left My Heart In San Francisco
Composer(s): George C. Cory Jr.; Douglass Cross
Performer(s): Tony Bennett - 1962
Covered by multiple other artists



The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
Is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm coming home to my city by the bay

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fog may chill the air

I don't care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me!

Keith Strickland; Cindy Wilson
Performer(s): The B-52's



She's the wildest hon in the wild kingdom
She's the wildest thang to float down
Well there's alligators and razorbacks
But I don't care, I like to go down tubin' with you, Junebug
When Junebug floats down and yells "Hey!"
Even the razorbacks get outta her way
Ya know what I mean?

The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug
You know wh at I'm talking about
Junebug, Junebug, Junebug, Junebug

On the wildest run in the wild kingdom
She's the wildest thang to float down!
Well there's snakes and snappers on cypress knees
So come on down, I like to play in the water with you, Junebug
Well don't you listen to what they say
'Cause we're a little different anyway
Ain't it the truth!

Let's glide behind a wall of vegetation; no prying eyes on
A love celebration!
Let's glide behind that wall of vegetation
I don't want no prying eyes when I give you a love sensation!
The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug, Junebug

Hey there Junebug, you sure look good danci ng in the mud...
In the red mud!
Mosquitoes and water moccasins, 'gators and crocodiles
June's imagination really drives me wild!

Go Girl Go Girl Go Girl Go!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!
Let's get in the mud, I think I'm in love!
Junebug! Go Go Go Junebug Go Go Go Junebug!

Tormento
Composer(s): Abel Domínguez
Performer(s): Flor Silvestre
and multiple other artists



Si alguna vez pudieras saber
que eres tú mi tormento
lo que tú me haces a mí
ya no tiene perdón

Pues si te quiero besar
me envenenan tus besos
porque tú siembras el mal
sobre mi corazón

Quisiera que no fueras así
que tuvieras otra alma
que no me hicieras sufrir
pero no puede ser

Y yo no te he de olvidar
porque no puedo
mejor me muero
que dejarte de amar

Quisiera que no fueras así
que tuvieras otra alma
que no me hicieras sufrir
pero no puede ser

Y yo no te he de olvidar
porque no puedo
mejor me muero
que dejarte de amar

I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen


I Left My Heart At The Stage Door Canteen
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Earl Oxford
and multiple other artists



Old Mister Absent-Minded, that's me
Just as forgetful as I can be
I've got the strangest sort of a mind
I'm always leaving something behind

I left my heart at the Stage Door Canteen
I left it there with a girl named Eileen

I kept her serving doughnuts
Till all she had were gone
I sat there dunking doughnuts
Till she caught on

I must go back to the army routine
And every doughboy knows what that will mean

A soldier boy without a heart
Has two strikes on him from the start
And my heart's at the Stage Door Canteen

Performer(s): The McGuire Sisters;

Just give me a June night
The moonlight and you in my arms with all your charms
The moon above and we'll make love
I'll hold you in full view
Our dreams will come true

Just give me a June night
The moonlight and you
Give me a June night
Give me the moonlight
But mostly give me you

And when you're in my arms
With all your charms and the moon above
We're gonna make love, love, love
I'll hold you, hold you, and hold you
Then each little dream that we're dreaming will come true

Just give me a June night
The moonlight and you
Gotta have you, under the moon
Give me a June night

"Torero"
Tu pierdi 'o suonno
'ncoppa i giornaletti
e mammeta minaccia
e patitta s'arraggia
te fanno gira' a capa sti fumetti
guardando dint'o specchio
vuoi fare il toreador
come fanno a Santa Fe'
come fanno ad Hollywood
e cu sta scusa oi nun studi cchiu'
Ue Torero
te si piazzato
in capo stu sombrero
e dici ca si spagnolo
e nun e' o'vero
chee nacchere 'nta' sacca
va' a balla mescolando
bolero ca 'a samba e 'o cha cha cha
Torero cu sti basette
a sud Americano
cu nu sicarro e avano
a cammisella e picche'
Torero torero ole'
Te 'e fatto 'a giacchettella
corta corta
'e caziuncella stritti
e 'u ricciullinllo 'n fronte
te ride 'a gente arredu
e non t'emporta
ti senti Marlon Brando
che a spasso se ne va
per le vie Santa Fe'
per le strade di Hollywood
e 'annamurata tua nun te vo cchiu'
Ue Torero
te si piazzato
in capo stu sombrero
e dici ca si spagnolo
e nun e' o'vero
chee nacchere 'nta' sacca
va' a balla mescolando
bolero ca 'a samba e 'o cha cha cha
Torero cu sti basette
a sud Americano
cu nu sicarro e avano
a cammisella e picche'
Torero torero ole'

I Left My Hat In Haiti


I Left My Hat In Haiti
Composer(s): Burton Lane; Alan Jay Lerner
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
and multiple other artists



I left my hat in Haiti
In some forgotten flat in Haiti
I couldn't tell you how I got there
I only know it was so hot there

She took my hat politely
And wound her arms around me tightly
But I remember nothing clearly
Except the flame when she came near me

Her eyes had the glow of surrender
And her touch, it was tender
And with someone as fiery as that
You forget about your hat

So if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
If you can find her you'll adore 'er
Just look around 'til you've found
Someone who has a blue-gray fedora

Her eyes had the glow of surrender
And her touch, it was tender
And with someone as fiery as that
You forget about your hat

So if you go to Haiti
There is a girl I know in Haiti
If you can find her you'll adore 'er
Just look around 'til you've found
Someone who has a blue-gray fedora

June Is Bustin' Out All Over


June Is Bustin' Out All Over
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Benny Carter;
and various other artists



Men:
June is bustin' out all over
All over the meader and the hill
Flowers bustin' out on bushes
And the roughen river pushes
Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill
June is bustin' out all over
The ocean is full of Jacks and Jills
With the little tail is swishing'
Ev'ry lady fish is wishin' that a male would come
And grab 'er by the gills
Because it's June... June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!

Carrie:
Fresh and alive and gay and young
June is a love song, sweety song

Girls:
June is bustin' out all over
The branches are bustin' out with sap
Love has found my brother Junior
And my sister's even loonier
And my Ma is gettin' kittenish with Pap!

Chorus:
June is bustin' out all over

Carrie:
The sheep aren't sleepin' anymore
All the rams are chasin' ewe-sheep
All determined there'll be new ship and the ewe-sheep aren't even keepin' score

Chorus:
Because it's June... June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!
It's June...It's June, June, June
Just because it's June, June...

Nettie:
March went out like a lion
A-wavin' up the weather in the bay
Then April cried and stepped aside
And lone came pretty little May!
May was full of promises
But she didn't keep it quick enough for some
And the crowd up doubtin' of promises
Was predictin' that the summer'd never come

Men:
But the summer's by God
We can feel it come
You can feel it in your heart
You can see it in the ground

Girls:
You can see it in the trees
You can smell it in the breeze

All:
Look around! Look around! Look around!

Nettie:
June is bustin' out all over
The ladies and men are payin' court
Lots of ships are keepin' anchor
Just because the captain hanker
For the comfort they can only get in port

Chorus:
You can hear it comin'!

Nettie:
June is bustin' out all over
The moonlight is shining on the shore
And the girls who were contrary
With the boys in January
Aren't nearly for contrary anymore!

Nettie and Chorus:
Because it's June... June, June, June
Just because it's June, June, June!

I Left My Door Open And My Daddy Walked Out


I Left My Door Open And My Daddy Walked Out
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Melba Joyce



What'll I do? What'll I do?
I'm just as sad as can be
Something awful happened to me
What'll I do? What'll I do?
I'm in a terrible plight
Like a great big fool I did a very silly thing last night

I left my door open and my daddy walked out
Without a doubt
Worried am I, wondering why
He never stopped to say Goodbye
I can't live without my loving daddy about
That's why I shout
He must come back, I'll lose my mind
A good man's mighty hard to find
He must have some loving now and then
Maybe that will bring him back again
I'm gonna keep my door wide open till my daddy comes back

What'll I do? What'll I do?
I'm in a terrible rage
Like a bird, he flew from his cage
Daddy of mine, send me a line
Say that you'll come back to me
When you do, I'll lock the door
And try my best to lose the key

I left my door open and my daddy walked out
Without a doubt
Worried am I, wondering why
He never stopped to say Goodbye
I can't live without my loving daddy about
That's why I shout
He must come back, I'll lose my mind
A good man's mighty hard to find
A good man's mighty hard to find
He must have some loving now and then
Maybe that will bring him back again
I'm gonna keep my door wide open till my daddy comes back
Till my daddy comes back
Gonna keep my door open till my daddy comes back

Come on in here, daddy!

June In January


June In January
Composer(s): Ralph Rainger; Leo Robin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
and various other artists



A clouded moon creeps across the clouded sky
Winds of January sigh and moan
And yet it's June
I can see a sky of blue
Dear the miracle is due to you
Just you
It's June in January
Because I'm in love
It always is spring in my heart
with you in my arms
The snow is just white blossoms
that fall from above
And here is the reason, my dear
Your magical charms
The night is cold
The trees are bare
But I can feel the scent of roses in the air
It's June in January
Because I'm in love
But only because I'm in love with you

Oh the night is cold!
Won't it be to bear?
But I can feel the scent of roses in the air
It's June in January
Because I'm in love
But only because I'm in love with you

I Leave My Heart In An English Garden


I Leave My Heart In An English Garden
Composer(s): Harry Parr Davies; Christopher Hassall
Performer(s): Edmund Hockridge; William Rayner



Breezes in the long grass ruffling my hair
Hollyhock and bluebell scenting the air
Nothing in the world can ever be
Such a sweet memory
Nothing in the world was ever so fair

I leave my heart in an English garden
Safe where the elm and the oak stand by
Though the years rise and roll away
Still shall those watchmen stay
Bold in the blue of an English sky

I leave my dreams in an English garden
Safe where the breezes of England blow
When the highways are dark and drear
I know there’s sunshine here
Bright where the roses of England grow

I leave my heart in an English garden
Safe where the elm and the oak stand by
Though the years rise and roll away
Still shall those watchmen stay
Bold in the blue of an English sky

I leave my dreams in an English garden
Safe where the breezes of England blow
When the highways are dark and drear
I know there’s sunshine here
Bright where the roses of England grow

Liza:
Oh, they say when you marry in June
You're a bride all your life

Sarah:
And the bridegroom who marries in June
Gets a sweetheart for a wife

Ruth:
Winter weddings can be gay
Like a Christmas holiday

Martha:

Of the spring that lasts all summer long

By the light of the silvery moon
Home you ride, side by side

With the echo of Mendelssohn's tune

In your hearts as you ride

You will always be a bride

The day a maiden marries is a day she carries through the years

The Church is full of flowers, bridal showers all passe

The groom's waiting at the altar, here comes the bride
They're each promising to love and obey

There's madness celebrating
Every bridesmaid waiting
Just to see which one of them will catch the wedding bouquet

All Brides:
For they say when you marry in June
You will always, always, always, be a bride

Alice, Sarah & Dorcas:
In November, the snow starts to fly
Piling up, ankle-high

Come December, it's up to your knee
Still a bride's a bride-to-be

All Brides:
January, higher still
To the parlor window sill

Milly:
February finds a drift
And the storm that seems never to lift

Liza, Sarah & Dorcas:
March comes in like a lion, what else?
Still the snow never melts

Liza & Alice:
April showers will come, so they say

Liza:
But they don't, and it's May

All Brides:
You're about to forget the whole thing
All at once, one day, it's Spring

Such a feelin's coming over me
There is wonder in most ev'ry thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky
got the sun in my eyes
And I -- won't be surprised if it's a dream

Ev'rything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the -- top of the world lookin' down on creation and the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something is the wind has learned my name
and it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees
And the touch of the breeze, there's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need -- will be mine if you are here

I'm on the -- top of the world lookin' down on creation and the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I Know You're Out There Somewhere


I Know You're Out There Somewhere
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): The Moody Blues
and multiple other artists



I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cos the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The secret of your beauty
And the mystery of your soul
I've been searching for in everyone I meet
And the times I've been mistaken
It's impossible to say
And the grass is growing
Underneath our feet
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
From the words that I remember
From my childhood still are true
That there's no so blind
As those who will not see
And to those who lack the courage
And say it's dangerous to try
Well they just don't know
That love eternal will not be denied
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
Yes I know it's going to happen
I can feel you getting near
And soon we'll be returning
To the fountain of our youth
And if you wake up wondering
In the darkness I'll be there
My arms will close around you
And protect you with the truth
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
