Tomorrow Mountain
Tomorrow Mountain
Composer(s): Duke Ellington - John Latouche
Performer(s): Lena Horne
and multiple other artists
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
There’s a happy city, they say
Where the people are grand and time is planned
So it’s Christmas every day
‘Neath the scotch and soda fountain
There’s a treat in store for us guys
Under cigarette trees, we’ll take our ease
While the cops fan off the flies
There you will be a lucky sinner
With no conscience for your guide
Each horse you pick will be a winner
And the doors of every bank are open wide
For across Tomorrow Mountain
There’s a life that‘s fancy and free
On a platinum street we’ll plant our feet
It’s the land that’s fair to see
Won’t you hurry there with me?
Just across Tomorrow Mountain
Every girl is Queen of the May
And the kitchens, I’m told
Are lined with gold
And there ain’t no bills to pay
Can’t you cross that distant mountain
Where it rains Chanel No.5?
And the gutters, I think, are paved with mink
And the diamond bushes thrive
Pigs trot around already roasted
Won’t you have a slice of ham?
Marshmallows bloom, already toasted
And the clouds are made of marmalade and jam
Can’t you see Tomorrow Mountain?
Can’t you watch it glimmer and glow?
It’s a wonderful town that’s upside-down
And it’s full of easy dough
Won’t you pack your bag and go?Just across Tomorrow Mountain

Tomorrow Morning
Tomorrow Morning
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Eleanor Young - Harry D. Squires
Won't you take a look at me
I'm as nervous as can be
Can't you see that I'm waiting so impatiently
For the morning to appear
Every minute seems a year
till I place the band upon the hand of my little sweetie dear
How the hours seem to crawl
Haven't slept a wink at all
Can't you see that I'm waiting for the rooster's call
In a little while or so, 'Round the corner I will go
where I'll place the band upon the hand of the sweetest girl I know
Tomorrow morning, I'll be wearing a smile
Tomorrow morning, as I march down the aisle
I'll have the cutest bunch of charm hanging on my arm
You just wait'll you see my sweetie and me, what a happy pair we'll be
when it's all over, hand in hand we will roam
thru' fields of clover, to Home Sweet Home
I just can't wait until the sunrise begins to rise
tomorrow morning, I'll be in paradise

I Got You
I Got You
Composer(s): Jan Hammer; Colin Hodgkinson
Performer(s): Jan Hammer
I got you
In the darkest night, when you touch me it’s light
I see you
In the strangest place, like when I’m shaving my face
You got me
In the palm of your hand, but you know, I’m a man
You take me
Into the future and into the past
And no one
Would dare to say that we don’t have it all today
But I wanna make it
Longer-wider-stronger-louder
Deeper-higher-and burning-like fire
You got it
Never run with the crowd, never say it out loud
You see it
In the darkest night, when I touch you it’s light
And no one
Would dare to say that we don’t have it all today
But I wanna make it
Longer-wider-stronger-louder
Deeper-higher-and burning, like fire

Johnny Rider
Johnny Rider
Composer(s): S. Bernet; J.M. Deuterre; M. Mallory
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Des motos et des hommes
Et la Californie
Je roule en tête
Et la bande me suit
Vers les villes fantômes
La vallée de la mort
Et le désert de l'or
Des shériffs de campagne
Nous regardent passer
On dirait des montagnes
Aux nerfs d'acier
Et leurs mains les démangent
De se faire un carton
Ou de me mettre en prison
Et d'attraper Johnny Rider
Et de boucler Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre
Ils ont peur de Johnny Rider
Ils voudraient bien Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre
Buvant des bières en boîte
Mangeant des hamburgers
Le soir on s'endort à même la terre
Les indiens nous insultent
Et nous jettent des pierres
Pour mieux cacher leur misère
Des paysans hostiles
A nos cheveux trop longs
Nous tiraient dessus en criant mon nom
Car une de leurs filles
A voulu s'évader
Et avec moi s'en est allé
Car elle voulait Johnny Rider
Oui, elle aimait Johnny Rider
Oui mais voilà, Johnny Rider, c'est moi
Comme un ange venu de l'enfer
Un fou chevauchant dans un bruit
De tonnerre

Huiswaarts
Huiswaarts
((Adapted from: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan) - 1962))
((Finnish Version: Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar (Nationalteatern - 1978))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Ernst Jansz
Performer(s): Ernst Jansz - 2010
Als vandaag niet een eindeloze weg was
en vannacht een zee van maneschijn
als morgen niet eindeloos ver weg was
zou de eenzaamheid wellicht te dragen zijn
en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan
een vreemd gezicht weerspiegelt in het water
waar een vreemde stem geen woord spreekt van verdriet herken ik evenmin de echo van mijn voetstap
en herinner mij de klank van mijn naam niet
en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan
er is schoonheid in het zilverstromend water
in de gouden stralen van de morgenstond
maar niets ter wereld heeft mij ooit meer bewogen
dan de schoonheid die ik in haar ogen vond
en alleen maar als mijn lief op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik huiswaarts gaan
ja alleen maar als zij daar op mij zou wachten
en ik weer zacht haar hart kon horen slaan
zoals zij naast mij neerlag in de nachten
alleen dan zou ik weer huiswaarts gaan

Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1978 - Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar (Nationalteatern)
2010 - Huiswaarts (Ernst Jansz)
If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or can't remember the sound of my own name
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again
There's beauty in the silver, singin' river
There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin'
Yes, and if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin'
Only if she was lyin' by me
Then I'd lie in my bed once again

I'm gonna search this town
from door to door
The love I crave
I can't find no more
I got to find my baby
I declare there ain't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
since that woman said goodbye
You know I hate to see the sun
sinking to the west
'cause I know my whole life's
gonna be one solid mess
I got to find my baby
I declare there ain't no lie
I ain't had no real good loving
since that woman said goodbye
Well ever since the day
that she said we were through
I've been nervous
and shook up too
I got to find my baby
I declare there ain't no lie
I had no real good loving
since that woman said goodbye
Well I don't care if the last thing
I ever do in my life
is to find that little woman
make her my wife
I got to find my baby
I declare there ain't no lie
I had no real good loving
since that woman said goodbye

Johnny Remember Me
Johnny Remember Me
Composer(s): Geoff Goddard
Performer(s): John Leyton;
The Meteors; The Spell
When the mist's a rising
And the rain is falling
And the wind is blowing cold across the moor
I hear the voice of my darling
The girl I loved and lost a year ago
(Johnny remember me)
Well it's hard to believe I know
But I hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me
(Johnny remember me)
Yes I'll always remember
Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry
Johnny remember me
Well some day I guess
I'll find myself another little girl
To take the place of my true love
But as long as I live I know
I'll hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me
(Johnny remember me)
Yes I'll always remember
Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry
Johnny remember me
(Johnny remember me)

Men Bara Om Min Älskade Väntar
((Adapted from: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan) - 1962))
((Dutch Version: Huiswaarts (Ernst Jansz) - 2010))
Composer(s): Bob Dylan - Nationalteatern
Performer(s): Nationalteatern - 1978
Om idag inte var en ändlös landsväg
och i natt en vild och krokig stig
om i morgon inte kändes så oändlig
Då är ensamhet ett ord som inte finns
Men bara om min älskade väntar
och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå...
Bara om hon låg här tätt intill mig
kan jag bli den jag var igår
Jag kan inte se min spegelbild i vattnet
Jag kan inte säga sorgelösa ord
Jag hör inte mitt eko slå mot gatan
Kan inte minnas vem jag var igår
Men bara om min älskade väntar...
Det finns skönhet i flodens silversånger
Det finns skönhet i gryningssolens sken
Men då ser jag i min älskades ögö
en skönhet större än allting som jag vet!
Och bara om jag vet att hon väntar
och om jag hör hennes hjärta sakta slå
Bara om hon låg tätt intill mig
kan jag bli den jag var igår

Tomorrow And Tomorrow
Tomorrow And Tomorrow
Composer(s): Fripp - McDonald - Lake - Giles - Sinfield
Performer(s): King Crimson
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams
Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying

I Got The Sun In The Morning
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists
Taking stock of what I have and what I haven’t
What do I find? The things I got will keep me satisfied
Checking up on what I have and what I haven’t
What do I find? A healthy balance on the credit side
Got no diamonds, got no pearls
Still I think I’m a lucky girl
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Got no mansion, got no yacht
Still I’m happy with what I’ve got
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way
Got no cheque books, got no banks
Still I’d like to express my thanks
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
And with the sun in the morning and the moon in the evening
I’m all right
De-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
De-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Sunshine gives me a lovely day
Moonlight gives me the Milky Way
Got no cheque books, got no banks
Still I’d like to express my thanks
I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night
And with the sun in the morning, moon in the evening
I’m doing all right
Doing all right
Doing all right
I’m doing all right

Performer(s): Johnny Horton;
and various other artists
Chorus:
You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
You fought all the way, Johnny Reb
Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee
You held your head high tryin' to win the victory
You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain
Even tho' you lost they speak highly of your name, 'cause
(Chorus)
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
I saw the young boys as they began to fall
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all, but
(Chorus)
I saw Gen'ral Lee raise a sabre in his hand
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand
You marched in the battle of the Grey and the Red
When the cannon smoke cleared, took days to count the dead, 'cause
(Chorus)
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall
The folks thought he'd call a great vict'ry ball
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
For you, Johnny Reb, and all that you believe
You fought all the way
Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb
Yeah, you fought all the way, Johnny Reb
(Chorus)

Lanza:
When you say "Not today", I would ask you then
Will your beauty ever be quite so fair again
When you frown and look down, let me ask of you
Can I ever love you more than today I do
Tomorrow is too far away
Tomorrow is long to delay
Tomorrow today will be only a memory
Tomorrow we may learn that each
Tomorrow is still out of reach
So borrow tomorrow with me

When you sigh love is nigh, I would have you know
Love is not a passerby, lovers come and go
When you smile, wait a while, I would understand
Will you care to keep my heart when you have my hand

Raskin: Tomorrow will you stay
Lanza: Tomorrow is long to delay
Raskin: Tomorrow will you, Dear
Lanza: Tomorrow today will be
Raskin: Tomorrow will you want to be

Raskin: A tender little memory
Lanza: Tomorrow we may learn that each

Both: Tomorrow with me

Covered by multiple other artists
Have you heard that rumour that's going around
You got it made, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
Yes, I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
When I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your doorway, but you was gone
I took a lot of courage and let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
When you give me the business, you know I get a mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I've got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
I'm gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
Yeah, I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end
It's the same old blues, same old blues again

Johnny One Time
Composer(s): A.L. Owens; Dallas Frazier
Performer(s): Brenda Lee; Henson Cargill;
Loretta Lynn; Jody Miller; Willie Nelson
So he told you that you're the dream
that he's been searching for
And he told you that he'd never met anyone like you before
And I can hear him telling you your lips taste just like sherry wine
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time
Did he tell you that your heart would soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time
So he told you that he'd never lead your heart astray
And he told you that he'd love you forever and a day
And I can hear him telling you that he's the shy and bashful kind
But did he tell you that he's known as Johnny one time
Oh, did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
And did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Oh, did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time.
Did he tell you that your heart will soon become
Another trinket on his bracelets of broken hearts
Did he tell you that the morning sun will find you
Patching up your shattered pride and searching for the missing parts
Oh, did he tell you that the special love you're saving
Will disappear in flames of shame like mine
Did he tell you that he's known as Johnny One Time

Tomorrow
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson
What a wonderful thing that our love would have been tomorrow
What a pity that our dreams didn't stay around to see tomorrow
But your love has gone away and our dreams vanished too
Starved for so many things I intended to do
I'm alone with a love I meant to give to you tomorrow
I'll be the woman that you want tomorrow I got to many things to do today
Tomorrow I'll have lots of time to love you and I let it go another day
I promised all the love you'd need tomorrow
Say all the words you crave to hear me say
And somewhere in your lonely waiting hours
You packed your hungry heart and went away
What a wonderful thing our love would have been tomorrow
What a pity our dreams didn't stay around to see tomorrow
But your love has gone away and our dreams vanished too
Starved for so many things that I intended to do
I'm alone with a love meant to give you tomorrow
Yes your gone today and our dream gone astray
There were still so many things that I intended to do
I'm all alone with a love I meant to give you tomorrow
