Traces


Traces
Composer(s): Buddy Buie - James Cobb - Emory Gordy
First release: Classics IV - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Faded photographs
Covered now with lines and creases
Tickets torn in half
Memories in bits and pieces
Traces of love long ago
That didn't work out right
Traces of love

Ribbons from her hair
Souvenirs of days together
The ring she used to wear
Pages from an old love letter
Traces of love long ago
That didn't work out right
Traces of love with me tonight

I close my eyes and say a prayer
That in her heart she'll find
A trace of love still there
Somewhere, oh-oh-ooohhh

Traces of hope in the night
That she'll come back and dry
Theses traces of tears from my eyes
Oh-oh-oh-ooohhh-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah

I Love You, Samantha
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



Samantha, you're all
I'll ever adore
So forgive me, do
If I say to you
What I've said so often before

I love you, Samantha
And my love will never die
Remember, Samantha
I'm a one-gal guy
Together, Samantha
We could ride a star and ride it high
Remember, Samantha
I'm a one-gal guy
And if some distant day
You decided to say
"Get along, go away, goodbye!"
Remember, Samantha
I'm a one-gal guy
Remember, Samantha
I'm a one gal guy

Just one look and I fell so hard
In love with you, oh-oh, oh-oh
I found out how good it feels
To have your love, oh-oh, oh-oh
Say you will, will be mine
Forever and always, oh-oh, oh-oh
Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one
Oh oh-oh oh!

I thought I was dreamin' but I was wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, but-a, I'm gonna keep on schemin'
Till I can a-make you, make you my own!

So you see, I really care
Without you I'm nothin', oh-oh, oh-oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday, oh-oh, oh-oh

Just one look, that's all it took
Just one look, that's all it took

Trabajo, Quiero Trabajo


Trabajo, Quiero Trabajo
Composer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui
Performer(s): Atahualpa Yupanqui



Cruzando los salitrales
uno se muere de sed
Aquello es puro desierto
y allí no hay nada que hacer

Trabajo, quiero trabajo
porque esto no puede ser
Un día veré al desierto
convertido en un vergel

El río es puro paisaje
lejos sus aguas se van
pero mis campos se queman
sin acequias ni canal

Trabajo, quiero trabajo
porque esto no puede ser
Un día veré a mi campo
convertido en un vergel

Las entrañas de la tierra
va el minero a revolver
Saca tesoros ajenos
y muere de hambre después

Trabajo, quiero trabajo
porque esto no puede ser
No quiero que naides pase
las penas que yo pasé

Despacito, paisanito
despacito y tenga fe
que en la noche del miner
o ya comienza a amanecer

Trabajo, quiero trabajo
porque esto no puede ser

Just One Heart


Just One Heart
Composer(s): Paul Muggleton
Performer(s): Agnetha Faltskog



The fever's running in the city
People want to make it so much worse
On the high street I can see no pity
People with their faces in the dirt
Just one heart, that needs to open
Just one word will break the ice
One touch, to kill the darkness
One kiss to give it light
Just one heart, that needs to open
Just one word will break the ice
One touch, to kill the darkness
One kiss to give it light
Make it right
See the man there kicking in the shadows
Why's he feel he's got to kill and steal?
He can't wait to see which way the wind blows
Does it mean he'll get a better deal?
Just one heart, that needs to open
Just one word will break the ice
One touch, to kill the darkness
One kiss to give it light
Just one heart, that needs to open
Just one word will break the ice
One touch, to kill the darkness
One kiss to give it light
Make it right, make it right
Just one heart, that needs to open
Just one word will break the ice
One touch, to kill the darkness
One kiss to give it light
Just one heart, that needs to open
Just one word will break the ice
One touch, to kill the darkness
One kiss to give it light
Just one heart...one heart
Just one heart...one heart
Just one heart...one heart...

Trabajo De Amantes


Trabajo De Amantes
Composer(s): Pablo Guerrero - Gonzalo Lasheras - Suso Saiz
Performer(s): Pablo Guerrero



Quiero ofrecerte un presente
ahora que el olor del azahar
llena de quietud y de armonía
el corazón y los naranjos

Ven a mi gruta
Aquí no hay sombras
de lobos proyectadas
sobre rocas oscuras

Déjame que acompase
nuestras respiraciones
y que discurra el tiempo
como agua en los dedos

Porque amarnos será
nuestra contribución a la dicha
de un mundo atribulado

Just Once In My Life


Just Once In My Life
Composer(s): Carole King; Gerry Goffin; Phil Spector
Performer(s): The Righteous Brothers; and various other artists



There's a lotta things I want, a lotta things that I'd like to be
But girl I don't foresee a rags to riches story for me
There's just one little dream I've got to make come true
There's just one round I've got to win, I can't be a loser with you

And baby, baby
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me hold on to
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'

'Cause I couldn't face the day if you weren't here by my side
And if you went away then I'd be left without any pride
I've given up on schemes 'cause every one fell through
I've given up so many things, don't ask me to give up on you

And baby, baby
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me hold on to
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'

That old pot of gold ain't so easy to find
But if you'll stand by me, girl, I'll keep peace of mind
I can't give you the world but I will work hard for you, girl
Yes, I'll work hard (everyday) all my life (you will see)
If you won't leave me (baby, don't leave)
Please don't leave me (oh no don't leave)
Just do this for me, baby

Once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me hold on to
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Baby, say that you'll be stayin'
Hmm-mmm-hmm mmm-hmmm

Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me hold on to
The good thing I've found, don't let me down
Just once in my life let me get what I want
Girl, don't let me down

Tra La La La La


Tra La La La La
Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling - Harry Von Tilzer



Sweet Marie from gay Paree
Came here to go upon the stage
Sweet Marie a hit was she
And soon became the public rage
Every night it was a sight
To see the Johnnies fall in line
On bended knee you'd hear this please
Oh sweet Marie come please be mine

Sweet Marie was wise you see
She always knew her little book
Diamond rings and other things
That came her way she always took
Winning smile and taking style
Took costly presents by the score
She'd take each lad for all he had
And then she'd take him to the door

Tra la la la la she'd always say
Tra la la la la in accent day
Pretty baby if I let you play wize me
You might get too gay and free
Tra la la la la My Yankee boy
Tra la la la la you bring much joy
But if I go out and take ze motor ride
Why you might want to pull down ze blind inside
And zen you try to get a little fly
So I better
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la come ça

Tra la la la la ze naughty child
Tra la la la la he get too wild
If I ever give to sweet pa pa one kiss
Zen he'll know what real love is
Tra la la la la
Oh you baby
Tra la la la la I know cherie
That when you say zat with love your heart is full
I know zats only what Yankee call ze "bull"
And if I let you get ze kiss I bet
Why then I know you'll
Tra la la la la
Tra la la la la come ça

Just Once


Just Once
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Sonny Rollins;
and various other artists



I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay
Or head on out the door

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why we never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
Make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

I gave my all
But I think my all may have been too much
'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere
Seems we're always blowing whatever we've got going
And seems at times with all we've got
We haven't got a prayer

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
Why the good times never last for very long
What are we doing wrong?
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
And make the magic last for more than just one night
If we could just get to it
I know we could break through it

Just once I want to understand
Why it always comes back to good-bye
Why can't we get ourselves in hand?
And admit to one another
That we're no good without the other
Take the best and make it better
Find a way to stay together

Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right?
Make the magic last for more than just one night
I know we can break through it
If we could just get to it

Just once

If we could get to it

Just Once...

Toyland


Toyland
Composer(s): Victor Herbert - Glen MacDonough
Performer(s): Virginia Karns



When you've grown up, my dears
And are as old as I
You'll often ponder on the years
That roll so swiftly by, my dears
That roll so swiftly by

And all the many lands
You will have journeyed through
You'll oft recall, the best of all
The land your childhood knew
Your childhood knew

Toyland, Toyland
Little girl and boy land
While you dwell within it
You are ever happy then

Childhood, joyland
Mystic merry Toyland
Once you pass its borders
You can ne'er return again

I love you so
I love you more than my own life, and anyone
There’s nothing else like loving you that I have found
I love you so
When we’re together, we’re so strong, we can’t go wrong
With you I know where I belong, I can’t let go
I love you so

No land is far enough when you burn with desire
I’ll change the course of fate; I’ll walk to through blazing fire
No one could stop me facing all the dangers to be with you

I love you so
I love you more than my own life, and anyone
There’s nothing else like loving you that I have found
I love you so
When we’re together, we’re so strong, we can’t go wrong
With you I know where I belong, I can’t let go
I love you so

Nothing can hold us back, nothing can come between us
Now we’ve got everything to build a new beginning
No one could treasure like I adore you; believe in me!

I love you so
I love you more than my own life, and anyone
There’s nothing else like loving you that I have found
I love you so
When we’re together, we’re so strong, we can’t go wrong
With you I know where I belong, I can’t let go
I love you so

I love you so
I love you more than my own life, and anyone
There’s nothing else like loving you that I have found
I love you so

Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)


Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)
Composer(s): Norman Whitfield - Barrett Strong
First release by: The Temptations - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy"
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to you
But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
Soon we'll be married and raise a family
A cozy little home, out in the country, with two children, maybe three
I tell you I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems
But it was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
Tell you, it was just my imagination
Running away with me
Every night, on my knees I pray
"Dear lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or I will surely die"
Her love is heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear her tender rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn't even know me
It was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
Oh, tell you, it was just my imagination
Running away with me
I never met her, but I can't forget her
Just my imagination, yeah, yeah, yeah
Running away with me
Oooh, just my imagination
Running away with me

Town Without Pity


Town Without Pity
Composer(s): Dmitri Tiomkin - Ned Washington
First release: Gene Pitney - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists



When you're young and so in love as we
And bewildered by the world we see
Why do people hurt us so
Only those in love would know
What a town without pity can do

If we stop to gaze upon a star
People talk about how bad we are
Ours is not an easy age
We're like tigers in a cage
What a town without pity can do

The young have problems, many problems
We need an understanding heart
Why don't they help us, try and help us
Before this clay and granite planet falls apart

Take these eager lips and hold me fast
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do

No, it isn't very pretty what a town without pity
Ca-a-an do
(... do)

One Night Of Love (Karen Dalton)


One Night Of Love
Composer(s): Joe Tate
Performer(s): Karen Dalton



He gives me one night of love
Sometimes he gives me two
Hmm when I'm gone
He don't even think my name
It's got me down
Down to the ground
Looks like this whole world
And my best friend got me down

I gave him all my money
All of my good loving too
Ah, when I'm gone
He don't even mention my name
It's got me down
Down to the ground
Looks like this whole world
And my best friend got me down
It's got me down

I'm just singing this song
I wouldn't do anything wrong
It's got me down
I'm just telling the truth
I can't show you no kind of proof
It's got me down
Got me down
Down to the ground
This whole world
And my best friend got me down
It's got me down

One night of love
Gives me one night of love
One night of love
One night of love
One night of love

Just Memories


Just Memories
Composer(s): Leonard Caston; Anita Poree
Performer(s): Eddie Kendricks



And I am left with just memories
of precious moments and I
hold them close to me
To always remember those yesterdays
when I had your love
Like the times I held you near
The first kiss we shared
I cry a sea of tears

My bed is cold and bare
Ooh, Ooh, baby,
I try to occupy my mind
to forget you - but I am left
with just memories of precious moments
and I hold them close to me

Echos of you are here
Your laugh fills the air
I cry a sea of tears

Inside feels empty there
Ooh, Ooh, baby
I try to occupy my mind - to forget you
but I am left with just memories
of precious moments and I
hold them close to me

Like the time I held you near
the first kiss we shared
I cry a sea of tears
My bed is cold and bare
I don't want to cry
won't somebody please tell my eyes
Left with just memories
I hold them close to me

Town Of Plenty


Town Of Plenty
Composer(s): Bernie Taupin - Elton John
Performer(s): Elton John



I'll say it again this is not my city
I don't belong looking for a town of plenty
There weren't these thieves
We had some thing in common
Goals to achieve
We had some thing in common
In a town of plenty

Can't you see it, this is not my writing
I only asked if this was a town of plenty
There were many archives
We had no media
Only art survived there
Yeah we had no media
In a town of plenty

And laid across the airstrip
Were the passports and the luggage
All that once remained
Of a rugged individual
And laid across the airstrip
Were the passports and the luggage
I came looking for a town of plenty

I'll say it again, this is not my city
I only asked if this was a town of plenty
There were many archives
We had no media
Only art survived there
Yeah we had no media
In a town of plenty

I Love You Much Too Much


I Love You Much Too Much
Composer(s): Alexander Olshanetsky; Don Raye; Chaim Towber
Performer(s): The Andrews Sisters
and multiple other artists



I love you much too much
I’ve known it from the start
But yet my love is such
I can’t control my heart

I love you much too much
I ask myself what for
Then, darling, when we touch
Mmmm, I love you more

Perhaps I hold your heart too tightly
But who am I to say
If I should hold it lightly
It might slip away

I love you much too much
You’ve never really known
I love you oh so much
I’m yours alone.

I love you much too much, I love you much too much
I’ve known it from the start, right from the start
But yet my love is such,
I can’t control my heart

I love you much too much
I love you too much oh my dear
I’ve known it from the start
But, but, but my love is such
I can’t control my heart

Perhaps I hold your heart too tightly
But who am I to say
If I should hold it lightly
It might slip away

I love you much too much
You’ve never really known
Oh no, oh no you’ve never known
I love you oh so much, so much
I’m yours alone, alone
