Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head


Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head
Composer(s): Hal David - Burt Bacharach First release: B.J. Thomas - 1969 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1970 - Gocce Di Pioggia Su Di Me (Patty Pravo) 1970 - Regndråber Drypper I Mit Hår (Pedro Biker) 1970 - Ei Haittaa Sää (Johnny) 1973 - Toute La Pluie Tombe Sur Moi (Sacha Distel)



Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

One More Day (Eldrine)


One More Day
Composer(s): DJ BE$$ - DJ Rock - Mikheil Chelidze
First performance: Eldrine - 2011



After the day I met you there I am not the same
I try to sleep but nothing helps me feel insane
Passion game that I play gonna last another day
Another night I’ll be there in my dreams again and again

I wanna give it on fire
Uncover vicious desire
Abandon painful denial
Find every reason to stay

Another forbidden sensation
Another emotional flare
Down with the fake hesitation
Gee, yeah, - I am ready to pay
Pay for the hopeless despair
Gonna live one more day of my fate

Here I am standing with my determination
(I) remember when I used to be one of those silly fellows kind of “really don’t care”
and I realized all my thoughts and all my fears (around me)
you wanted to know what I felt and you got it right there
Turn around, all the words of regrets and seize the chance to find the way so I can be raised
I am lame, psycho from the brain, there is nothing I can do, that ‘s the part of the game

Out of such foolish state gonna’ find no other way

Make way cause it’s all about the shame

Feel no shame, cause I live another day again

I wanna give it on fire
Uncover vicious desire
Abandon painful denial
Find every reason to stay
Another forbidden sensation
One more emotional flare
Down with the fake hesitation
Hell, yeah, - I am ready to pay
Pay for the hopeless desire

Turn back in the days when you desired and craved and all the way you felt just like burned in the flame

Gonna live one more day of my fate

Cheer Up (The Sun Will Soon Be Shining)


Cheer Up (The Sun Will Soon Be Shining) Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling - Bernie Grossman - Arthur Lange



Every little girl that's lonely
Every little girl that's sad
Needs a little word of consolation
Just to cheer her up and make her glad
So to every girl that's feeling blue
Here's a message that is meant for you

Every little girl that's waiting
Every little lonesome boy
Knows for every moment filled with sorrow
There's another moment filled with joy
Always think when you are feeling blue
Of the happiness in store for you

Cheer up
The sun will soon be shining
Cheer up
Although your heart is pining
Don't you sigh
Don't you cry
When you say Goodbye
Smile out loud
Every cloud has a silv'ry lining
Cheer up, and soon there'll be a Rainbow 'way up in the sky
Cheer up
The sun will soon be shining
When the clouds roll by

Raindrops


Raindrops
Composer(s): Dee Clark; Johnny Otis
Performer(s): Dee Clark



Oh raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes

Since my love has left me
I'm so all alone
I would bring her back to me
But I don't know where she's gone
I don't know where she's gone

It must be a cloud in my head
Rain keeps falling from my eye, eyes
Oh no it can't be tears
For a man ain't supposed to cry

So it must be raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes

It must be a cloud in my head
Rain keeps falling from my eye, eyes
Oh no it can't be tears
For a man ain't supposed to cry

So it must be raindrops so many raindrops
It feels like raindrops falling from my eye, eyes
Falling from my eyes

It keeps falling, falling from my eyes
Woo-oo-oo it keeps falling from my eyes

In Love For A While


In Love For A While
Composer(s): David Klein
First performance by: Anna Rossinelli - 2011



I looked into your eyes, and when I saw your smile
I knew right from the start: life is good for a while
Romance comes and goes, but a love like ours is here to stay
Each lovely night and sunny day

I love everything about you, I couldn't do without you
Whenever you're near me, all my days are on the bright side
But when I'm not around you, I have to find the way
To be with you each night and every day

Na nanana nanana... na nanana nanana...
Na nanana nananana... na nananana...
Na nanana nanana... na nanana nanana...
Nanana nanana nanana...

And as time goes by and we've seen stormy weather
I know that you and I, we're always getting better
But when I'm not around you, I have to find the way
To be with you each night and every day

Oh, I couldn't do without you, yeah
I have to find the way to... to be with you, no oh no no oh...
I love everything you do
I have to find the way to be with you

I know you and I are in love for a while

Cheer Down


Cheer Down Composer(s): George Harrison - Tom Petty First release by: George Harrison - 1989



I can see by your grin
That you're trembling within
It's all over town, cheer down
And the smile on your face
Is sometimes out of place
Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down

If your hair should fall
If your shares should crash
You'll get by even without getting a rash

There's no tears to be shed
I'm gonna love you instead
I want you around, cheer down

When your teeth drop out
You'll get by even without taking a bite

If your dog should be dead
I'm gonna love you instead
The world loves a clown, cheer down
I want you around, cheer down

Rainbows All Over Your Blues


Rainbows All Over Your Blues
Composer(s): John Sebastian
Performer(s): John Sebastian



I been waiting my time just to talk to you
You´ve been lookin´all down in the mouth
and down at your shoes
Well, baby, I came to give you the news
I´ll paint rainbows all over your blues

I heard you been spending
a lot of your time up in your room
And at night you been watchin´
the dark side of the moon
You don´t talk to nonody
if they don´t talk to you
So Buddy and me came here
to sing you a tune

"I give up" is all you´ve really got to say
It´s time to find a new life style
Cause this really ain´t the way

Let´s go for a bounce
on my trampoline
I can show you the prettiest mountains
that you´ve ever seen
You better run to your closet
and fish out your blue suede shoes
I´ll paint rainbows all over your blues

Between your face

Found a pleasure watching you
Having fun
Fooling around

On the floor

If they talk
Let them talk
Not losing you tonight

Oh oh oh
Im running im gunning for you
Oh oh

Cheek To Cheek


Cheek To Cheek ((Italian Version: Cheek To Cheek (Manlio Sgalambro) - 2001)) Composer(s): Irving Berlin First performance/First recording/First release by: Fred Astaire - 1935 Covered by multiple other artists



Heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I'm in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak
When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don't enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
(Come on and) Dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That (Those) charm(s) about you
Will carry me through...
(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we're out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek

Rainbow Stew


Rainbow Stew
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard;
Johnny Paycheck; Jason Ringenberg



There's a big, brown cloud in the city
And the countryside's a sin
The price of life is too high to give up
Gotta come down again
When the world wide war is over and done
And the dream of peace comes true
We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up
Eatin' that rainbow stew

When they find out how to burn water
And the gasoline car is gone
When an airplane flies without any fuel
And the sunlight heats our home
One of these days when the air clears up
And the sun comes shinin' through
We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up
An' eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up
An' eatin' that rainbow stew

You don't have to get high to get happy
Just think about what's in store
When people start doin' what they oughta be doin'
Then they won't be booin' no more
When a President goes through the White House door
An' does what he says he'll do
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble-Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' that free Bubble-Up
Eatin' that rainbow stew

Eatin' rainbow stew in a silver spoon
Underneath that sky of blue
We'll all be drinkin' free Bubble-Up
And eatin' that rainbow stew

Live It Up (Yüksek Sadakat)


Live It Up
Composer(s): Ergün Arsal - Kutlu özmakinaci
First performance by: Yüksek Sadakat - 2011



Here’s your favourite song on the radio
shake your head to the beat- it’s rock n roll
if you’re feeling the world has kicked you down
all you need is just to have a little fun

hey, it’s time to live it up
my friend, put the record on
sing it loud and let it out
life is beautiful
my friend let it out
life is beautiful

give yourself a break, come on and live it up
give yourself a break

driving on with no map to lead me on
eyes on the horizon and there’s no turning round
sometimes I feel, I feel I’m not alone
so let your colors shine right next to mine

hey, it’s time to live it up
my friend, put the record on
sing it loud and let it out
life is beautiful
my friend let it out
life is beautiful

give yourself a break, come on and live it up
give yourself a break

I say my friend life is beautiful
I say my friend life is beautiful

I say my friend… put the record on
sing it loud and let it out
life is beautiful
my friend let it out
life is beautiful

give yourself a break, come on and live it up
give yourself a break

Check-Out Time


Check-Out Time Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David Performer(s): Dionne Warwick



When I woke up this morning I was all alone
Stretched out in bed
Two hundred miles from home in some old motel
I don't know what's to become of me
I know that check-out time is three

I didn't mean to hurt him, he has so much pride
I never dreamed
I had to run and hide to this lonely room
I just hope he doesn't follow me
I know that check-out time is three

There's just no use
Why try to make an excuse
I've lost great news
Because to be his one
Well that would be just giving up on life

I've got to go on living, I just can't exist
I wanna taste all of the things I missed
For his tender love
Till the day love catches up with me
That's always check-out time at three

Rainbow People


Rainbow People
Composer(s): Andrew Gold



See all the rainbow people dance about
They're here to love you and to freak you out

Long tendril hair touching stars
Multicolored diamond shards will shower you with love

Hey Mr. plastic man all dressed in black
Incense and beads and flower power's back

The beautiful ones will turn you on
Gonna drop the flower bomb
Gonna drop the flower bomb
And blow your mind

I was thinkin' bout a groovy chick at Pandora's box
She was doing the pony eatin' magic paisley dots
Beautiful Capricorn said "man, this trip's so boss."

Just watch the rainbow people do their thing
Your soul can fly on lavender wings

You can be a butterfly
'Cause it's all inside your mind
It's all inside your mind
Whoa woah

And all the cosmic radiation
is blowing colors through the center of mind

Checking Out


Checking Out
Composer(s): Allan Holdsworth
Performer(s): Allan Holdsworth



You keep me hanging here
and you steal my time
while I wear my heart out on my sleeve
oh, on my sleeve

Me, I am falling down
come see me drown
Checking Out the bottles
at the bar...

Like to be away so far....

Me, wonder will the wind blow?

Am I chasing snow, though I'll never show
my sorrow's face, my sorrow's face?

Oh you, do you have to toy with
a bolted chest in my mind's chaotic
lumber room, rattling on fair fortune's loom?

Feel The Passion


Feel The Passion
Composer(s): Shpëtim Saraçi - Sokol Marsi
First performance: Aurela Gaçe - 2011



Feel my heart, feel the words beat low
I sing my song and the echo flows
And wherever I go, I just want you to know
You're the blood in my veins and the love in my soul

You are my wave rippling over sea
You dry my tears and you make me grieve
But wherever I go, I just want you to know
My moment in time, oh sweet song of mine, eh...

I'm like an eagle in the open sky
I'll never land, I'm flying high

Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion
Love's the message shining through, a chain reaction
It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why
It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...

And when I feel that I thirst for you
I dab my lips with your morning dew
But wherever I go, I just want you to know
Sweet song, live forever and I'll live with you, eh...

I'm like an eagle in the open sky
I'll never land, I'm flying high

Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion
Love's the message shining through, a chain reaction
It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why
It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...

(Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion)
(Love's the message shining through, I'm free to fly)
Zot, qe këngën ma ke fal, më lerë të ndarë
Nuk ka ngjyrë e nuk ka fjalë, muret s'e mbajnë
It brings my heaven down to earth and this is why
It drives me mad but it gives me life, I'm free to fly, eh...

(Let me share my song with you, just feel the passion) Yeah...

Rainbow At Midnight


Rainbow At Midnight
Composer(s): John Miller
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;
and various other artists



After the war was over
I was coming home to you
I saw a rainbow at midnight
Out on the ocean blue

The stars in heaven were shining
The moon gave its light from above
I saw your face in this rainbow
And it made me think of our love

We’ll build a home in the country
And make all our dreams come true
There we’ll make a heaven
Sweetheart just for we two

Here we will live so happy
And have a baby or two
We’ll name them after the rainbow
Because it reminds me of you

After this life is over
And our journey here is trough
We’ll move to the land of the rainbow
And live in the starry blue
