I Thank The Moon
I Thank The Moon
Composer(s): Billy Dawn Smith
Performer(s): The Crests; The Arrogants; Johnny Maestro
Yes it's true when they say that when the moon is high
It casts a magic light on lovers
I fell in love with you on a perfect night in June
And darling I thank the moon
While we walked through the park the moon was in a cloud
I wanted to cry out loud I love you
Just then the moon appeared and two hearts began to spoon
And darling I thank the moon
Remember I was afraid and shy to tell what was in my heart
Then the moon seemed to say you're in love
We kissed and gave love its start
It's true when they say that when the moon's in sight
It casts a magic light on lovers
It made you love me too on a perfect night in June
And darling I thank the moon
I thank the moon

18 Yellow Roses
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
First release: Bobby Darin - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1964 - 18 Žutih Ruža (Miodrag Jevremovic)
1974 - 18 Røde Roser (Johnny Reimar)
Eignteen yellow roses came today
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
When the boy came to the door
I didn't know what to say
But eighteen yellow roses came today
I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I had read
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
Yes eighteen yellow roses came today
I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
But a father's love will never fade away
Will never fade away

Tryin' To Love Two
Tryin' To Love Two
Composer(s): William Bell
Performer(s): William Bell
Tryin` to love two
Ain`t easy to do
When you`re trying to love two
Sure ain`t easy to do
I`ve got a woman at home
That`s sweet as can be
A woman on the outside
Crazy about me
I`m caught in the middle
Of a three-way love affair
Caught up in this triangle
Can`t go nowhere
Tryin` to love two
Ain`t easy to do
When you`re trying to love two
Sure ain`t easy to do
I need to be three men in one
To get my job done
I need a 30-hour day
Two jobs with double pay
I need a man to go to work
A man to stay at home
I need a man on the outside
To keep my woman...

I Tell It Like It Used To Be
I Tell It Like It Used To Be
Composer(s): Michael Garvin; Ron Hellard; Bucky Jones
Performer(s): T. Graham Brown; Joe Dolan
They say that I'm the kind of person who always speaks my mind
I wish that I was stronger I could tell them that you've gone
To me there's nothing stronger then the truth
But that's one thing that I may never do
You can ask me almost anything and I'll tell you like it is
If they want to hear about our love and how it all went wrong
But darlin' when they ask me about you
Then darlin' they will just have to talk to you
I tell it like it used to be
When you were still in love with me
Before you got to used to me and wanted someone new
I tell it like it ought to be 'cause how it is is killing me
When they ask about you and me
I tell it like it used to be

Eighteen With A Bullet
Composer(s): Pete Wingfield
First release: Pete Wingfield - 1975
(Do, do, do, do, do, do-do-do-do)
(Do, (doop, doop) do, do, do, do)
(Do, do, do, do, do, do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do...)
I'm eighteen with a bullet
Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it
I'm picked to click now
I'm a son-of-a-gun
So hold it right there little girl, little girl
We're gonna have big fun
I may be an oldie, but I'm a goodie, too
I'll last forever and I'll be good to you
Oh, yes I will
(Do, do, do, do, do...)
I'm eighteen with a bullet
Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it
I'm a super-soul sure-shot, yeah
I'm a national breakout
So let me check your playlist, mama
Huh, c'mon let's make out
I'm high on the chart
I'm tip for the top
But till I'm in your heart
I ain't never gonna stop
Never, never baby
We got a smash double-header
If we only stay together
Talkin' 'bout you
Talkin' 'bout me
(Do, do, do, do, do...)
I'm eighteen with a bullet
Got my finger on the trigger, I'm gonna pull it
Yes I will
Be my A-side, baby, be beside me
Right now, right now I'm a single
But pretty soon you'll see
We'll have a hit first time
And won't be long we'll find
That we're raising a whole L.P.
Woo-hoo
You know I'm eighteen, woo-hoo, with a bullet
Yes I am, baby
I got my finger right there on the trigger
I'm gonna pull it, pull it, pull it
You better start makin' plans, baby
This old house is too small, now, now, now
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
(Shoop shoop shoop shoop, be doo be doo doo...)

Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara
Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara
Composer(s): Lina Sandell-Berg - Oskar Ahnfelt
Tryggare kan ingen vara
än Guds lilla barnaskara
stjärnan ej på himlafästet
fågeln ej i kända nästet
Herren sina trogna vårdar
uti Sions helga gårdar
över dem han sig förbarmar
bär dem uppå fadersarmar
Ingen nöd och ingen lycka
skall utur hans hand dem rycka
Han, vår vän för andra vänner
sina barns bekymmer känner
Gläd dig då, du lilla skara
Jakobs Gud skall dig bevara
För hans vilja måste alla
fiender till jorden falla
Vad han tar och vad han giver
samme Fader han dock bliver
och hans mål är blott det ena
barnens sanna väl allena

I Taut I Taw A Puddy Tat
I Taut I Taw A Puddy Tat
Composer(s): Alan Livingston; Warren Foster; Billy May
Performer(s): Mel Blanc
and multiple other artists
Tweety:
I am a little, tiny, bird
My name is Tweety Pie
I live inside my bird cage, a-hanging way up high
I like to swing upon my perch and sing my little song
But there's a tat that's after me and won't let me alone
I taut I taw a puddy tat a creepin' up on me
I did! I taw a puddy tat as plain as he could be!
Sylvester:
I am that great big bad old cat, Sylvester is my name
I only have one aim in life and that is very plain
I want to catch that little bird and eat him right away
But just as I get close to him, this is what he'll say
I taut I taw a puddy tat a creepin' up on me
You bet he taw a puddy tat, that puddy tat is me!
Tweety:
That puddy tat is very bad, he sneaks up from behind
I don't think I would like it if I knew what's on his mind
I have a strong suspicion that his plans for me aren't good
I am inclined to think that he would eat me if he could
Sylvester:
I'd like to eat that sweetie pie when he leaves his cage
But I can never catch him, It throws me in a rage
You bet I'd eat that little bird if I could just get near
But every time that I approach, this is all I hear
Tweety:
I taut I taw a puddy tat a creepin' up on me
I did! I taw a puddy tat as plain as he could be!
And when I sing that little song, my mistress knows he's back
She grabs her broom and brings it down upon Sylvester's back
So listen you bad puddy tat, let's both be friends and see
My mistress will not chase you if you sing this song with me
Tweety: Come on now, like a good cat
Sylvester: Oh, all right
Sufferin' Succotash!
Both:
I taut I taw a puddy tat a creepin' up on me
I did! I taw a puddy tat as plain as he could be!

Eight More Miles To Louisville
Eight More Miles To Louisville
Composer(s): Grandpa Jones - Louis Jones
First release: Grandpa Jones - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
I've traveled o'er this country wide seeking fortune fair
Up and down the two coast lines I've traveled everywhere
From Portland East to Portland West back along the line
I'm going now to the place that's best that old hometown of mine
Eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more miles on this old road and I'll never more be blue
I knew some day that I'd come back I knew it from the start
Eight more miles to Louisville the hometown of my heart
There's bound to be a gal somewhere that you like best of all
Mine lives down in Louisville she's long and she is tall
But she's the kind that you can't find a traveling through the land
I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand
Now I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
A humble little hut for two we'll never want to roam
The place that's right for that love sight is in those bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville

Try Too Hard
Try Too Hard
Composer(s): Dave Clark - Mike Smith
First release: The Dave Clark Five - 1966
Tell me, do you want my love
Tell me what you're thinkin' of
I've been waitin' 'round so long
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
I hope you're not tryin' to make a fool of me
'Cause if you are I know there's going to be
Some tears fallin' and they won't be mine
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
Some people may want many loves my friend
But we both know what happens to them in the end
So please listen to these words of mine
And let me know that I'm not wasting my time
I'm sure that we could get along very fine
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard
You don't try too hard

I Talk To The Wind
I Talk To The Wind
Composer(s): Ian McDonald; Peter Sinfield
Performer(s): King Crimson
and multiple other artists
Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
I've been here and I've been there
And I've been in between
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear
I'm on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me
You don't possess me
Don't impress me
Just upset my mind
Can't instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear

Eight Miles High
Eight Miles High
((Italian Version: Vado Su In Alto (Gli Astrali) - 1995))
Composer(s): Gene Clark - Roger McGuinn - David Crosby
First release: The Byrds - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own
Nowhere is there warmth to be found
among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound
Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living some standing alone

I Talk To The Trees
I Talk To The Trees
Dutch Title: We Zullen Wel Zien - 1970
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
First recording by: Tony Bavaar & Olga San Juan - 1951
Covered by multiple other artists
I talk to the trees
But they don't listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me
The breeze hasn't time
To stop and hear what I say
I talk to them all in vain
But suddenly my words
Reach someone else's ear
At someone else's heart strings too
I tell you my dreams
And while you're listening to me
I suddenly see them come true
I can see us some April night
Looking out across a rollin' farm
Having supper in the candlelight
Walking later, arm in arm
Then I'll tell you how I pass the day
Thinking mainly how the night would be
Then I'll try to find the words to say
All the things you mean to me
I tell you my dreams
And while you're listening to me
I suddenly see them come true

Eight Line Poem
Eight Line Poem
Composer(s): David Bowie
Performer(s): David Bowie
The tactful cactus by your window
Surveys the prairie of your room
The mobile spins to its collision
Clara puts her head between her paws
They've opened shops down West side
Will all the cacti find a home
But the key to the city
Is in the sun that pins
the branches to the sky

Try Not To Look So Pretty
Try Not To Look So Pretty
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Try not to look so pretty
The next time that we meet
Please don't look so pretty
And I won't act so weak
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
You walk in and steal my mind
But who gave you the right
To treat me like some useless thought
You throw away each night
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool
You make it hard on me
But I'll try to pretend
That you're just a lovesick dream
That always has to end
Please don't look so pretty
You're lovely but it's just cruel
Try not to look so pretty
And I'll try not to be your fool

Eight Is Enough
Eight Is Enough
Composer(s): Lee Holdridge - Molly-Ann Leikin
Performer(s): Grant Goodeve
There's a magic in the early morning we've found
When the sunrise smiles on everything around
It's a portrait of the happiness that we feel and always will
Oh, eight is enough to fill our lives with love
Oh, we're lucky we can share this beautiful space
So many find the world an empty place
Anyone who asks to stand alone is always standing still
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love
Oh, love makes all the difference now
And one that really shows
Just look at everyone of us
See how it overflows
Oh, We spend our days like bright and shiny new dimes
If we're ever puzzled by the changing times
There's a plate of homemade wishes on the kitchen window sill
And eight is enough to fill our lives with love
More than enough to fill our lives with love

Yes I know I’ve been untrue
And I have hurt you through and through
But please have mercy on this heart of mine
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
If my darling you could see
Just what you’re leavings done to me
You’d know that love is still the tie that binds
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
Ah here’s Leon
Now in my dreams I see your face
It seems there’s someone in my place
But does he know that you were once just mine?
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
If you’ll just forgive me now
I will make it up to you somehow
I promise never again to be unkind
Take me back and Try Me One More Time
