Once Upon A Time (Tony Bennett)


Once Upon A Time
Composer(s): Lee Adams; Charles Strouse
Perfomer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists



Once upon a time, a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time, very long ago

Once upon a time, we sat beneath the willow tree
Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn
But that was once upon a time – now the tree has gone

How the breeze ruffled through her hair
How we always laughed as though tomorrow wasn’t there
We were young and didn’t have a care
Where did it go?

Once upon a time, the world was sweeter than we knew
Everything was ours – how happy we were then
But, somehow, once upon a time never comes again

#9 Dream


#9 Dream Composer(s): John Lennon Performer(s): John Lennon; A-Ha; R.E.M.



So long ago
Was it in a dream
Was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real
It seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Melancholy Melon


Melancholy Melon
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul; James Coburn
Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul



I am feeling like a melon
I am feeling like a meloncholy melon
I am feeling like a meloncholy melon in a heatwave

Wish I wasn't so mellow
Wish I wasn't so mellow turning yellow
Wish I wasn't so mellow turning yellow in a heatwave

I need your soft breeze
Blowing 'cross the desert from the palm trees
To cool me down
I want your slow rain
Falling in the valleys and the low plains

Can't you see I'm not a cactus
Can't you see the fact is I'm not a cactus
Can't you see the fact is I'm not a cactus in a heatwave

aaah...

Don't want more sunshine
I can't take more heat
I don't need more nothing to make me ripe and sweet

I need your soft breeze
Blowing 'cross the desert from the palm trees
To cool me down
I want your slow rain
Falling in the valleys and the low plains

Don't you know that I am ready
Don't you know that I am edible and ready
Don't you know that I am edible and ready and I'm hot

I am feeling like a melon
I am feeling like a melancholy melon
I am feeling like a melancholy melon in a heatwave

aaah...

1 + 1 = 3


1 + 1 = 3
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Noche de sortilegio y superstición
Una gitana habla de traición
Al ver la línea de su corazón
¡Ay, las cosas del querer!
¡ay, su orgullo de mujer!
Celos, llenos de amor
Sombras de confusión
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Su honra pisada, su alma ultrajada
El odio araña a Carmen de España
Corre con la venganza dentro de la piel
Y al ver su hombre con otra mujer
Le arde la sangre hasta enloquecer
¡Ay, la vida en un puñal!
¡ay, fatídico final!
Celos llenos de amor
Sombras de confusión
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Rayos de luna en nubes oscuras
Ríos de muerte y amantes sin suerte
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Fuego de infierno y frío de invierno
Dos cuerpos brillan y al fondo Sevilla
Uno más uno, tres
Celos de una mujer
Uno más uno tres
Celos de una mujer
¡Ay, amor! lo haría, sin dudar por tu amor
¡ay, amor! no pude soportar tu traición
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Rayos de luna en nubes oscuras
Ríos de muerte y amantes sin suerte
Uno más uno, tres
Le dijo la mujer
Fuego de infierno y frío de invierno
Dos cuerpos que brillan y al fondo Sevilla
... Celos de amor, celos
Uno más uno, tres
celos de una mujer
uno más uno, tres
celos de una mujer
Uno más uno tres

Melancholy Me


Melancholy Me
Composer(s): Howard Biggs; Joe "Cornbread" Thomas
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald; Eddy Howard



Melancholy me
Melancholy over you
All alone and feelin' blue
Are you melancholy too

Miss you every day
Ever since you went away
Melancholy over you
Are you melancholy too

While each minute seems
Like hours to me
Each hour seems like years
Each day is an eternity
Of sadness and tears

All I do is yearn
Though I know you'll soon return
But until you do, I'll be
Just a melancholy me

While each minute seems
Like hours to me
Each hour seems like years
Each day is an eternity
Of sadness and tears

All I do is yearn
Though I know you'll soon return
But until you do, I'll be
Just a melancholy me

Once Upon A Time (Dan Fogelberg)


Once Upon A Time
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
you please
But you can't find no reason
For giving yours

'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there

Drive into town 'most every night
On the chance that there might be someone
Waiting for you
You tell yourself you'll
Give it your best
Maybe settle for less
But you never do

'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul
But nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever
you please
But you can't find no reason
For giving yours

'Cause, once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there

2000 Miles


2000 Miles Composer(s): Chrissie Hynde First release by: The Pretenders - 1983




He's gone
2000 miles
is very far
The snow is falling down
It's colder day by day
I miss you
The children will sing
"He'll be back at Christmas time"

In me it's frozen in silent nights
Sometimes in a dream
You appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow
Sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like Christmas time

2000 miles
is very far through the snow
I'll think of you
Wherever you go

He's gone
2000 miles
is very far
The snow's falling down
It's colder day by day

I miss you
I can hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
I hear people singing
It must be Christmas time

1 Of The 2


1 Of The 2
Composer(s): Brian James
Performer(s): The Damned



Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't try
When they see you
You want me to hang around
With you always
But you lie and die
When all you ever give me is disgrace
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
With our saturation eyes
You think you can disguise all those meat things
But can you grovel in the dust
With masochistic lust and make the song sing
Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
Oh yeah you're all cracked up fury
All get no jury to defend you
You tried but you couldn't cry
When they see you
You want me to hang around
With you always
But you lie and die
When all you ever give me is disgrace
That's the way down
That's the way down
That's sedation
That's sedation
Or one of the two
Or one of the two
One of the two
Or one of the two
Or one of the two

Melancholy Man


Melancholy Man
Composer(s): Mike Pinder
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



I´m a melancholy man
That´s what I am
All the world surrounds me
And my feet are on the ground
I´m a very lonely man
Doing what I can
All the world astounds me
And I think I understand
That we´re going
To keep growing
Wait and see

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you´ll remember what´s been said
By all the good men this world´s ever known
Another man is what you´ll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn´t think like you and me
´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see

When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you´ll remember what´s been said
By all the good men this world´s ever known
Another man is what you´ll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery
He doesn´t think like you and me (A melancholy man)
´Coz he can´t see what you and I can see (A very lonely man)
(Repeat both verses together)

Once Upon A Summer Afternoon


Once Upon A Summer Afternoon
Composer(s): Levitt; Snyder
Performer(s): John Gary



There were blue butterflies golden daffodils
And a pale August sky filled with whippoorwills
When we fell in love once upon a summer afternoon
I remember a kiss and an apple tree
And the sound of her laughter still follows me
We were so in love once upon a summer afternoon
But the end of the dream always makes me cry
I can still hear the word goodbye
Only blue butterflies, golden daffodils, apple trees
And my heart knows I love her still
Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon
Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon

One time two times three times four
Hey hey hey hey hey
Twelve angry husbands knocking on my door

Something that would make me run run run run run

Hey hey hey hey hey

Can't you see I've had the gun
Now their gonna make me run run run run run
Why won't they sit and listen

But nevertheless I got burned
I won't do it again

Hey hey hey hey hey
Gotta go gotta play around no more
Hey hey hey,hey hey
One time two times three times four

Melancholy Country Blues


Melancholy Country Blues
Performer(s): Carol Douglas



Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Let’s diffuse all the bad times
I’m melancholy too
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Put yourself in my shoes
I’m melancholy too

Let’s be sad, it’s so bad
Let’s just sit and cry
Let it go, let it out
It’s what this melancholy evenin’s all about!

Let’s sit by the fire and turn the hi-fi higher
With the saddest songs we’ve found
Let’s sit by the fire and turn the hi-fi higher
So the sad stories go round and round
Round and round and round!

Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Let’s diffuse all the bad times
I’m melancholy too
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Put yourself in my shoes
I’m melancholy too

I can see you’re down like me
Let’s have a bottle of wine
I can see you’re down like me
But our troubles will go in time

Let’s raid the fridge, grab the jambalaya dish
And stuff ourselves with food
Deep in talk, deep in thought
The jambalaya will help to melt away
To melt away… this melancholy mood

Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Let’s diffuse all the bad times
I’m melancholy too
Melancholy baby ... let’s sing the melancholy country blues
Put yourself in my shoes
I’m melancholy too

Belinda (Gianni Morandi)


Belinda Composer(s): Francesci Migliacci - J. Ray Performer(s): Gianni Morandi



Bella belinda e' innamorata
parla da sola con l'insalata
non guarda il piatto ma la finestra
scende una lacrima nella minestra
gioca col pane bella belinda
fa le palline con la mollica
nel uo bicchiere bella belinda
vede i suoi occhi pieni d'amore
mille pensieri son come farfalle
mille carezze sui suoi capelli
brividi dolci lungo le spalle
piu' e' innamorata e piu' si fa bella
e' unica al mondo bella belinda
scende le scale come volando
e' da romanzo bella belinda
vive l'amore e salta il pranzo
quando fa notte bella belinda
si copre tutta sino ai capelli
no, non e' il vento bella belinda
sono i sospiri di chi ti pensa
mille pensieri son come farfalle
mille carezze sui suoi capelli
brividi dolci lungo le spalle
piu' e' innamorata e piu' si fa bella
bella belinda e' innamorata
parla da sola con l'insalata
non guarda il piatto ma la finestra

Mel Da Ilha


Mel Da Ilha
Composer(s): Ronaldo Bastos
Performer(s): Cláudio Nucci & Renato Ze



Foi só morder a maçã para sonhar
Sonhar que ia também, meu bem quero ir
Quando for pra ilha
Irmão me leva, irmã me leva
Foi só pensar em você, já estava lá
Pra lá de um céu todo azul
Na beira do mar
Lá estava a ilha
A cor morena, o mel da ilha
Moendo a cana, movendo a ilha

Não esqueça de dizer adeus sorrindo
Recados vão na brisa do mar
Nobreza seja o mel da nossa lha
O sonho pode ser seu, qualquer lugar
(Bis)

Riqueza de viver e ter amigos
Não esqueça não esquecer de me levar
Foi só pensar em você para sonhar

Once Or Twice


Once Or Twice
Composer(s): Terry Kath
Performer(s): Chicago



Oh girl
I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me

Oh girl
I think you got a messed up mind
But if you will take the time
Baby I can set you free

Well I'm not trying to be
What I am not
But I think what you need
Is what I got

Girl I'm no philosopher
But I can offer you that cure
To mend your broken heart
I know that you are not blind
I know you see my messed up mind
I bet you see my broken heart too

So won't you
Bring your heart and your mind
That's out on the run
Fuse them with my broken heart
In my mind
We'll be one

Girl I looked you over once or twice
I think that you are very nice
And you're just meant for me

Girl I think you got a messed up mind
Now that you know yours is just like mine
Baby, won't you set me free

1,000,000 Years B.C.


1,000,000 Years B.C.
Performer(s): The Misfits



They're calling me, creatures of the night
Beautiful music
Animal instincts survived

The serpent's tongue
So ancient before the dawn of time
Fed throughout the ages
On the blood of mankind

I've seen it all
From grace men fall
Babylon
Curse of all creations
Winged serpent of the pit
Monstrosity

One million years BC

Ten thousand centuries ago
Cast down from Heaven
To pillage below

The serpent's eyes

Le Train


Le Train
Performer(s): Esther Ofarim



Le train, le train que j'attends
le train, le train que j'attends
un matin s'arrêtera
et mon amour en descendra
Oho oho ...

Cette gare , j'y viens chaque jour
d'un cœur léger ou d'un cœur lourd
et sur un banc de marronnier
je rêve de te retrouver
Oho oho ...

Le train, le train que j'attends
le train, le train que j'attends
je l'ai vu là devant moi
mais mon amour n'y était pas

Oho oho ...
Hou hou ...
