(Would You Like To Be The) Love Of My Life

(Would You Like To Be The) Love Of My Life
From the film "Second Chorus"
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Artie Shaw
Performer(s): Fred Astaire
(with Artie Shaw's Orch.)



Would you like to be the love of my life for always
And always watch over me
To square my blunders and share my dreams
One day with caviar, next day a chocolate bar

Would you like to take the merry-go-round
I'll lead you, I'll need you
Just Wait till you see

I hope in your horoscope there is room for a dope who adores you
That would make the only dream of my life come true
For the love of my life is you

Keep Me In Mind


Keep Me In Mind
Composer(s): Ray Agius - Alfred C. Sant
First performance by: Mike Spiteri - 1995



That old feeling
Dreams we shared together
Are just fragments of the past

There's a silence
Shades of stormy weather
Was our love too good to last?

Light a candle, sing a song
Look for rainbows
There's nothing wrong
Every night I cry my heart out
'Cause we're driftin' apart, now I know

Keep me in mind
When you're all alone
Dial my number
I'll wait by the phone

We'll have tomorrow
And sweet dreams to follow
Hold me forever
So keep me in mind, love
'Cause you're in my heart

A sweet memory
From a world of laughter
Brings back echoes
Night and day

Light a candle, sing a song
Look for a rainbow
There's nothing wrong
Every night I cry my heart out
'Cause we're driftin' apart, now I know

Keep me in mind
When you're all alone
Dial my number
I'll wait by the phone

Send me some lovin'
And take me to heaven
Put love on the line
Just make it known that you're mine

Keep me in mind
When dark shadows fall
Don't go to strangers
I'm there when you call
We'll have tomorrow
And sweet dreams to follow
Hold me forever
So keep me in mind, love
'Cause you're in my heart
('Cause you're in my heart)
'Cause you're in my heart
('Cause you're in my heart)
'Cause you're in my heart

(Why Did I Tell You I Was Going To) Shanghai

(Why Did I Tell You I Was Going To) Shanghai
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard; Milton DeLugg
Performer(s): Doris Day;
and various other artists



Who's gonna kiss me
Who's gonna thrill me
Who's gonna hold me tight ..... Tonight!

Why did I tell you I was going to Shanghai
I wannna be with you tonight
Why did I holler I was going to Shanghai
I wanna be with you tonight
It was just a little misunderstanding
That a kiss on the cheek could patch
I need you so badly, I'd gladly
Start all over from scratch

Oh, why did I tell you it was bye-bye for Shanghai
I'm even allergic to rice
Why don't you stop me when I talk about Shanghai
It's just a lover's device
Now, who's gonna kiss me
Who's gonna thrill me
Who's gonna hold me tight
I'm right around the corner in the phone booth
And I wannna be with you tonight

(Instrumental Break)

Now, why did I tell you it was bye-bye for Shanghai
I'm even allergic to rice
Why don't you stop me when I talk about Shanghai
It's just a lover's device
Now, who's gonna kiss me
Who's gonna thrill me
Who's gonna hold me tight
I'm right around the corner in the phone booth
And I wannna be with you tonight

Ooh-ooh-ooh-who's gonna kiss me
Who's gonna thrill me
Who's gonna hold me tight
I'm right around the corner in the phone booth
And I wanna, yes I wanna
I wanna be with you tonight

Climb upon my knee, Sonny Boy
Though you're only three, Sonny Boy
You've no way of knowing
There's no way of showing
What you mean to me, Sonny Boy
When there are grey skies
I don't mind the grey skies
You make them blue, Sonny Boy
Friends may forsake me
Let them all forsake me
I still have you, Sonny Boy

You're sent from Heaven
And I know your worth
You've made a Heaven
For me, right here on Earth
When I'm old and grey, dear
Promise you won't stray, dear
For I love you so, Sonny Boy

When there are grey skies
I don't mind the grey skies
You make them blue, Sonny Boy
Friends may forsake me
Let `em, let `em all forsake me
I still have you, Sonny Boy

You're sent from Heaven
And I know your worth
Why, you made a Heaven
For me, right here on Earth

And the Angels, they grew lonely
And they took you because they were lonely
Now I'm lonely too, Sonny Boy

(Where Are You?) Now That I Need You

(Where Are You?) Now That I Need You
From the film "Red, Hot And Blue"
Composer(s): Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Betty Hutton;
and various other artists



(Where are you?)

Where are you, now that I need you
Now that I want you so badly I could cry
Where are you (Where are you?)
Where did fate lead you (Where are you?)
Funny how I dreamed you'd still be standing by

I had you at my beck and call
I called you any time at all
I guess I took too much for granted
I never thought I'd lie awake and sigh
Where are you, now that I need you
Now that I love you so madly I could die

I had you at my beck and call
I called you any time at all
I guess I took too much for granted
I never thought I'd lie awake and sigh
Where are you, now that I need you
Now that I love you so madly I could die

(Where are you, now that I need you)
Now that I love you so madly I could die

Sonny Boy (Agnetha Fältskog)


Sonny Boy
Composer(s): K.G. Lundvist
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy
Ich hab' geträumt von dir
Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy
Du stehst vor meiner Tür
Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh'
Sag' wann kommst du zu mir?
Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu

Jeden Tag um zehn
Könnte es gescheh'n
Denn zwei Häuser weiter kommst du aus der Tür
Doch dann gehst du vorüber

Als sie dich so sah
Fragte schon Mama
``Wer ist denn der nette, sympathische Mann
der wohnt doch nebenan?''

Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy
Ich hab' geträumt von dir
Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy
Du stehst vor meiner Tür
Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh'
Sag' wann kommst du zu mir?
Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu

Ja, ich träumte schon
Du am Telefon
Ich hör' deine Stimme die zärtlich mich fragt
``Wann können wir uns sehen?''

Aber um halb acht
Bin ich aufgewacht
Und der erste Kuss unterm Kirschbluetenbaum
War leider nur ein Traum

Ja, ja, ja, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy
Ich hab' geträumt von dir
Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy
Du stehst vor meiner Tür
Immerzu finde ich keine Ruh'
Sag' wann kommst du zu mir?
Ich bin dir, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu
Denn ich bin dir
Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, Sonny Boy, so treu

(When You Feel Like You're In Love) Don't Just Stand There

(When You Feel Like You’re In Love)
Don't Just Stand There

Composer(s): Cherokee Jack Mealey; Ernest Tubb
Performer(s: Ernest Tubb & His Texas Troubadours;
Carl Smith



When You Feel Like You’re In Love Don't Just Stand There
When you see that moon above Don't Just Stand There
You gotta laugh, dance and sing
You gotta give that gal a ring
When You Feel Like Your’re In Love Don't Just Stand There

When the moon is shining bright
Any old Saturday night
If you’re not having any fun
Then maybe you’re out with the wrong one

When You Feel Like Your’re In Love hold her tighter
Then the moon and stars above will all seem brighter
You gotta laugh, dance and sing
You gotta give that gal a ring
When You Feel Like Your’re In Love Don't Just Stand There

Ah here’s Leon Rhodes now
(Instrumentals)

When the moon is shining bright
Any old Saturday night
If you’re not having any fun
Then maybe you’re out with the wrong one

When You Feel Like Your’re In Love hold her tighter
Then the moon and stars above will all seem brighter
You gotta laugh, dance and sing
You gotta give that gal a ring
When You Feel Like Your’re In Love Don't Just Stand There

(When You Close Your Eyes) I'll Make You See

(When You Close Your Eyes) I'll Make You See
Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield
Performer(s): Barbara Fairchild



If I could just get you to love me one more time
For just a moment have you here with me
With your sweet lips next to mine
you lose all track of time

'Cause when you close your eyes
that's when I'll make you see


It's been a while since you have been here in my arms
Oh, how they ache to hold you tenderly
I've got so much love to give, if you'll take it we'll both live
And when you close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see

I'll make you see the sky is just a little bit bluer
I'll make you see my love is just a little bit truer
I want both your heart and mind, make you want me all the time
And when you close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see

I'll make you see the birds will sing a little bit sweeter
I'll make you see that I love you a little completer
If you'll take me in your arms, let me keep you nice and warm
And then just close your eyes, that's when I'll make you see
That you love me

Sonic Attack


Sonic Attack
Composer(s): Harvey Bainbridge - Dave Brock - Huw Lloyd-Langton - Michael Moorcock
Performer(s): Hawkwind



In case of Sonic Attack on your district, follow these rules.....
If you are making love, it is imperative to bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously
Do not waste time blocking your ears
Do not waste time seeking a soundproof shelter
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible, but do not panic.....
Use your wheels, it is what they are for
Small babies may be placed inside the special cocoons, which should be left if possible, in a shelter
Do not attempt to use your own limbs
If no wheels are available, metal, not organic, limbs should be employed whenever practical.....
Remember, in the case of Sonic Attack
Survival does mean every man for himself
Statistically more people survive
if they think only of themselves

Do not attempt to rescue friends, relatives, or loved ones
You have only a few seconds to escape
Use those seconds sensibly or you will inevitably die
Do not panic
Think only of yourselves....

These are the first signs of Sonic Attack
You will notice small objects, such as ornaments, oscillating
You will notice a vibration in your diaphragm
You will hear a distant hissing in your ears
You will feel dizzy
You will feel the need to vomit
There will be bleeding from orifices
There will be an ache in the pelvic region
You may be subject to fits of hysterical shouting, or even laughter
These are all sign of imminent Sonic destruction
Your only real protection is flight
If you are less than ten years old, then remain in your shelter and use your cocoon
But remember: You can help no-one else
No-one else
No-one else......

(What Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue

(What Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue
Composer(s): Thomas "Fats" Waller;
Harry Brooks; Andy Razaf
Performer(s: Louis Armstrong & His Orch.;
and various other artists



Out in the street, shufflin' feet
Couples passin' two by two
While here am I, left high and dry
Black, and 'cause I'm black I'm blue

Browns and yellers, all have fellers
Gentlemen prefer them light
Wish I could fade, can't make the grade
Nothing but dark days in sight

Cold, empty bed, springs hard as lead
Pains in my head, feel like old Ned
What did I do to be so black and blue?

No joys for me, no company
Even the mouse ran from my house
All my life through I've been so black and blue

I'm white inside, it don't help my case
'Cause I can't hide, what is on my face, oh!

I'm so forlorn, life's just a thorn
My heart is torn, why was I born?
What did I do to be so black and blue?

'Cause you're black, folks think you lack
They laugh at you, and scorn you too
What did I do to be so black and blue?

When you are near, they laugh and sneer
Set you aside and you're denied
What did I do to be so black and blue?

How sad I am, each day I feel worse
My mark of Ham seems to be a curse, oh

How will it end? ain't got a friend
My only sin is my skin
What did I do to be so black and blue?

Fra Mols Til Skagen


Fra Mols Til Skagen
First performance by: Aud Wilken - 1995



La' mig vide hvornår
Alle togene går
For jeg vil vågne hos dig
Nu har sneen låst mig

Kun en vinter herfra
Kold og frysende klar
Send mig dine tanker
For mit hjerte banker

Fra Mols til Skagen, fra Mols til Skagen
Fra Mols til Skagen, jeg savner dig
Og dine silkelagner
Og morgenmad på blå altaner
Der findes ingen vilde svaner
Så længe sneen daler

Du var det hele for mig
Nu' jeg stille og bleg
Du er solens kejser
Mine drømme rejser

Fra Mols til Skagen, fra Mols til Skagen
Fra Mols til Skagen, jeg savner dig
Og dine silkelagner
Og morgenmad på blå altaner
Der findes ingen vilde svaner
Så længe sneen daler

Silkelagner
Og morgenmad på blå altaner
Der findes ingen vilde svaner
Så længe sneen daler

Silkelagner
(Fra Mols til Skagen)
Og morgenmad på blå altaner
(Fra Mols til Skagen)
Der findes ingen vilde svaner
Så længe sneen daler

What a wonderful
wonderful world this would be

What a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science books
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you loved me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now I don't claim to be an A student
But I'm tryin' to be
Oh maybe by being an A student, baby
I can win your love for me

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about science books
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you loved me too
What a wonderful world this would be

Sonho Impossível


Sonho Impossível
(Adapted from: The Impossible Dream - 1965/1966)
(French Version: La Quête - 1969)
Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh - Chico Buarque - Ruy Guerra
Performer(s): Maria Bethânia - 1974



Sonhar
Mais um sonho impossível
Lutar
Quando é fácil ceder
Vencer o inimigo invencível
Negar quando a regra é vender
Sofrer a torutura implacável
Romper a incabível prisão
Voar num limite improvável
Tocar o inacessível chão
É minha lei, é minha questão
Virar esse mundo
Cravar esse chão
Não me importa saber
Se é terrível demais
Quantas guerras terei que vencer
Por um pouco de paz
E amanhã, se esse chão que eu beijei
For meul eito e perdão
Vou saber que valeu delirar
E morrer de paixão
E assim, seja lá como for
Vai ter fim a infinita aflição
E o mundo vai ver uma flor
Brotar do impossível chão

(We're Having A) Heat Wave


(We're Having A) Heat Wave
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Marilyn Monroe



Oh! We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
She certainly can can-can

She started a heat wave by letting her seat wave
In such a way that the customers say
That she certainly can can-can

Gee, gee! Her anatomy makes the mercury rise to 93!
Having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave, the way that she moves
That thermometer proves that she certainly can.....
(What's your name honey? Pablo) Certainly can....
(Chico, Miguelito, Pablo, Chico, Miguelito).....oh, can-can

Pablo, it's saying here in the weather report
It's saying a fairly warm air is moving in from..
(Where?) Jamaica
Moderately high air pressure will cover the NE and..
(Where else?) The Deep South
Small danger of (what?) Fruit frost!
Hot and humid nights can be expected
Vincent 95, Guadeloupe 97, Santo Domingo 99
Pardon me? 105?

We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave
The temperature's rising, it isn't surprising
I certainly can can-can
I started this heat wave in such a way
That the customers say that I certainly can can-can
The man who need makes the mercury rise to 93
We're having a heat wave, a tropical, a tropical heat wave
The way that I move, that thermometer grooves
(She certainly, certainly, certainly can}
I certainly, certainly, certainly can can-can

The Impossible Dream


The Impossible Dream
From the Musical "Man Of La Mancha" (1965)
Composer(s): Joe Darion - Mitch Leigh
First performance/First release by: Richard Kiley - 1965/1966
Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1969 - La Quête
1974 - Sonho Impossível



To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right, without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell for a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star!

(We'll Stroll Through The Park) Just As We Used To Do

(We'll Stroll Through The Park) Just As We Used To Do
Composer(s): Lew Brown;
Ed Moran; Roy Ingraham



Mabel used to worry, Mabel used to pout
She said "Oh! will my darling Jack be the same when he gets back"
Mabel got a cable, now Mabel doesn't doubt
It read "My dear, I'm leaving here, my program's all mapped out"

Mabel swept the parlor, brought it up to date
she fixed the sofa where it would be in a place where none could see
Mabel now is nervous for she can hardly wait
She wrote to Jack
Said "Hurry back I think your plans are great"

We'll stroll through the park just as we used to do
We'll go for a lark just as we used to do
We'll sit in the parlor and turn the lights down
Low right on my knee is where you'll be and oh! oh! oh!
We'll hug and squeeze just as we used to do
We'll kiss and tease, just as we used to do
Your dad will yell, "turn up that light"
And what else can we do
We'll have to kiss and say "good night" just as we used to do

Performer(s): Jacques Brel - 1969
and multiple other artists



Rêver un impossible rêve
Porter le chagrin des départs
Brûler d'une possible fièvre
Partir où personne ne part
Aimer jusqu'à la déchirure
Aimer, même trop, même mal
Tenter, sans force et sans armure
D'atteindre l'inaccessible étoile
Telle est ma quête
Suivre l'étoile
Peu m'importent mes chances
Peu m'importe le temps
Ou ma désespérance
Et puis lutter toujours
Sans questions ni repos
Se damner
Pour l'or d'un mot d'amour
Je ne sais si je serai ce héros
Mais mon cœur serait tranquille
Et les villes s'éclabousseraient de bleu
Parce qu'un malheureux
Brûle encore, bien qu'ayant tout brûlé
Brûle encore, même trop, même mal
Pour atteindre à s'en écarteler
Pour atteindre l'inaccessible étoile

Se På Mej


Se På Mej
Composer(s): Håkan Almqvist - Ingela "Pling" Forsman - Bobby Ljunggren
First performance by: Jan Johansen - 1995



När din väg är lång, du är trött
men du måste ändå gå
Och när skuggorna börjar växa och få liv
och när natten skrämmer så
är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar
Hos dig stannar jag kvar

Se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att bära dig
Se på mig, åhoj i ljus och mörker
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig

När du står en dag
vid ett vägskäl i ditt liv
som ett vilset litet barn
är jag bredvid dig och jag följer varje steg du tar
och hos dig stannar jag kvar

Se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att bära dig
Se på mig, åhoj i ljus och mörker
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Jag går med dig vart du går
och aldrig lämnar jag dig

Så se på mig, åhoj en hamn i stormen
som en våg som föds att älska dig
Se på mig, åhoj när ljuset blir till mörker i ditt liv
är jag där och aldrig lämnar jag dig
Jag älskar dig så
