Pretty Ballerina


Pretty Ballerina
Performer(s): The Left Banke



I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised, no not at all

I called her yesterday, it should have been tomorrow
I could not keep the joy that was inside
I asked for her to tell me if she really loved me
Somewhere a mountain is moving
Afraid it's moving without me

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
Was I surprised, yeah
Was I surprised, no not at all

And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning
I opened up my eyes to find there's rain
And something deep within said, "go ahead and find her,
Just close your eyes, yeah
Just close your eyes and she'll be there...

She'll be there...

I climb the mountains high
I still love rivers wide
I could do most anything
To be by your side

He's mine, he's mine
My pretty baby, oh yeah
My pretty baby

I tell my lover, I swim the river wide

Soft Blow The Summer Winds


Soft Blow The Summer Winds
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Journeymen; Town Criers



Lord, we marched them dusty roads
Gettysburg, that day
Jamie, right there by my side, oh Lord
Every step of the way

Soft blow the summer winds
Where Jamie lies
He don't have to fight again
Sally, don't you cry

As we marched them last few miles
Our heads hanging down
Told me `bout his darling bride, oh Lord
Her name was Sally Brown

Soft blow the summer winds
Where Jamie lies
He don't have to fight again
Sally, don't you cry

Yes, I marched beside him, Lord
Gave him water when he was dry
But I could not hide him, Lord
When it came his turn to die

Soft blow the summer winds
Where Jamie lies
He don't have to fight again
Sally, don't you cry

Pretty Baby
Composer(s): Rich Morrison
Performer(s): The Supremes



Pretty, a pretty baby
Pretty, a pretty baby

I got a secret lover
And I don't want any other
He always makes me laugh
Always happy and never said

He's mine, he's mine
My pretty baby, oh yeah
My pretty baby

I found love
My heart stands still
Every time he holds my hand
It gives me a thrill

He's mine, he's mine
My pretty baby, oh yeah
My pretty baby

Pretty, a pretty baby
Pretty, a pretty baby

I climb the mountains high
I still love rivers wide
I could do most anything
To be by your side

He's mine, he's mine
My pretty baby, oh yeah
My pretty baby

I tell my lover, I swim the river wide

Fångad I En Dröm


Fångad I En Dröm
Composer(s): Bengt Palmers - Björn Skifs
First performance by: Björn Skifs - 1981



I mitt hus, där händer det att natten är lång
I mitt hus, där känner du nånting är på gång
Och när dagen börjar skymma bjuder oron upp till dans
Du försöker komma undan men du kommer ingen stans

Och fångad i en dröm som inte gör dig fri
Fångad i en dröm, hålls du kvar ändå av din fantasi

Ja, fångad om igen och om du kunde fly
Men fångad i en dröm, blir du kvar ändå tills att dagen gryr
I en dröm, i en dröm

I en tid när världen skall vara full av logik
I en tid när sagor inte längre hör hit
Ser du verkligheten rasa och det isar i din hud
Och du skriker ut din fasa men det kommer inga ljud

Och fångad i en dröm som inte gör dig fri
Fångad i en dröm, hålls du kvar ändå av din fantasi

Ja, fångad om igen och om du kunde fly
Men fångad i en dröm, blir du kvar ändå tills att dagen gryr

Fångad i en dröm som inte gör dig fri
Fångad i en dröm, hålls du kvar ändå av din fantasi
I en dröm, i en dröm
I en dröm, i en dröm

Pretty Baby (Bing Crosby & Judy Garland)


Pretty Baby
Composer(s): Tony Jackson; Gus Kahn; Egbert Van Alstyne
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Judy Garland;
and various other artists



You ask me why I'm always teasing you
You hate to have me call you Pretty Baby
I really thought that I was pleasing you
For you're just a baby to me
Your cunning little dimples and your baby stare
Your baby talk and baby walk and curly hair
Your baby smile makes life worth while
You're just as sweet as you can be

Your mother says you were the cutest kid
No wonder, dearie, that I'm wild about you
And all the cunning things you said and did
Why, I love to fondly recall
Ann just like Peter Pan, it seems you'll always be
The same sweet, cunning, Little Baby dear to me
And that is why I'm sure that I will always love you best of all

Everybody loves a baby that's why I'm in love with you
Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby
And I'd to be your sister, brother, dad and mother too
Pretty Baby, Pretty Baby
Won't you come and let me rock you in my cradle of love
And we'll cuddle all the time
Oh! I want a Lovin' Baby and it might as well be you
Pretty Baby of mine

Soft As The Starlight


Soft As The Starlight
Composer(s): Jerome Howard - Joe Lubin
Performer(s): Doris Day; Paul Weston



Soft as the starlight in the sky
Soft as the pillow on which I lie
Warm is the glow from the moon above
Warm is my heart that is filled with love

Love that only you can bring
Love as soft and warm as Spring
My heart knows the reason why
I feel soft as the starlit sky

Dreams become reality
Darling when you're near to me
So I'll dream of you and sigh
Soft as starlight in the sky

Love that only you can bring
Love as soft and warm as Spring
My heart knows the reason why
I feel soft as the starlit sky

Dreams become reality
Darling when you're near to me
So I'll dream of you and sigh
Soft as starlight in the sky

Soft as the starlight in the sky

Jealous (Betty Hutton)


Jealous
Composer(s): Dick Finch; Jack Little; Tommie Malie
Performer(s): Betty Hutton;
and various other artists



I'm jealous of the moon that shines above
(You're in love and you know it)
Because it smiles upon the one I love
(Even your eyes plainly show it)
I'm jealous of the birdies in the trees
(Jealous of each little thing passing by)
How they always sing the sweetest melodies
(I often wonder why you're jealous)

Jealous of the pretty flowers too
(Who do they remind you of?)
And I miss the kiss they always get from you
(Maybe you're in love)
I'm jealous of the "tick-tock" on the shelf
(I'm wondering why)
Oh baby, I'm so mean
I'm getting jealous of myself

Jealous of the pretty flowers too
(Who do they remind you of?)
And I miss the kiss they always get from you
(Maybe you're in love)
I'm jealous of the "tick-tock" on the shelf
(I'm wondering why)
Oh baby, I'm so mean
I'm getting jealous of myself

Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Qui vont planter partout
Le royaume des cieux
Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Sur les chemins du monde
Portant l'amour de Dieu

Avec les pieds, c'est fou tout c'qu'on peut faire
De la danse, du football, du ski, du pédalo
Mais qui chantera les pieds des missionnaires
Allant par monts et vaux

Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Qui vont planter partout
Le royaume des cieux
Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Sur les chemins du monde
Portant l'amour de Dieu

Isaïe, prophète et visionnaire
Ecrivain du très-haut, poète du Seigneur
Un jour exalta les pieds des missionnaires
"Messagers de bonheur"

Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Qui vont planter partout
Le royaume des cieux
Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Sur les chemins du monde
Portant l'amour de Dieu

François, Xavier, Pierre, Paul et Dominique
Porte-parole du Christ, Champions de course à pied
Ont promené leur pointure magnifique
De par le monde entier

Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Qui vont planter partout
Le royaume des cieux
Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Sur les chemins du monde
Portant l'amour de Dieu

Et quand la mort les mènera chez Saint-Pierre
Les pieds par devant, usés, durcis, caleux
On les verra l'éternité entière
Gambader dans les cieux

Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Qui vont planter partout
Le royaume des cieux
Ah qu'ils sont beaux! Ah qu'ils sont beaux!
Les pieds des missionnaires
Sur les chemins du monde
Portant l'amour de Dieu
Portant l'amour de Dieu

Pretty As A Picture


Pretty As A Picture
Composer(s): Johnny Anz
Performer(s): Dean Martin



You're as pretty as a picture
In your brand new evening gown
In your eyes I see that starlight of old
With that smile a little bold

What a lovely, lovely picture
You're my treasured work of art
And I'll always keep your picture
Locked in a room in my heart

You're my treasured work of art
And I'll always keep your picture
Locked in a room in my heart

A Flower


A Flower ((French Version: Une Fleur (by Jeanine Deckers)) Composer(s): Jeanine Deckers Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (aka The Singing Nun)



With a flower on the tip of my
muddy shoes I'm walking toward
the Lord, happily singing
With a flower on the tip of my muddy shoes
I go my way with a light heart
I've picked a flower of hope
Among the budding wheat
Among the adolescents
And winter evenings
I've picked the flower of hope
In the love of the Lord
Toward Him I am advancing
With a heartful of songs
I found along my way
A flower in the sunshine
It chased away
My desperate tears
In my heart
The wealth of a see of eternity
Carries me with the happiness

That's breaking my heart, pretending

Don't wanta hurt me by saying "Goodbye"
Who are you fooling by living a lie

You're just pretending and playing a part
That's breaking my heart, pretending

En Tes mains, o mon Dieu
Je remets mon esprit
Avec Toi je veux partir toute la vie
Sur les routes d'Éternité

Pretending (Bing Crosby)


Pretending
Composer(s): Al Sherman; Marty Symes
Performer(s): Bing Crosby;
Les Paul; Andy Russell



Hearts are gay when they play at pretending
If you’re blue, why don’t you try pretending
After all aren’t we all idle skeemers
What is life for the world full of dreamers
You’re not poor, not when you’re make believing
So when you have blue moments to stand
Close your eyes and you will see
How surprised you will be
If you just pretend

After all aren’t we all idle skeemers
What is life for the world full of dreamers
You’re not poor, not when you’re make believing
So when you have blue moments to stand
Close your eyes and you will see
How surprised you will be
If you just pretend

The Seagulls


The Seagulls
(French Version: Les Mouettes)
Composer(s): Jeanine Deckers
Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (The Singing Nun)



The seagulls, two by two
Are going in a row
To take a dip
In the blue, blue sea
Mister Gull is fishing for eel
And missus Gull is roasting
In the noontime sun
Grandpa Gull on tip toes
Feet in the water and pants upturned
relives his younger years.
Jean-Francois and Jean-Oouis
are riding their amphibian boat
And shout their joy at the top of their lungs
On His balcony in the skies
God leans down and smiles
At the happiness of His children

Pretend You Don't See Her


Pretend You Don't See Her
Composer(s): Steve Allen
Performer(s): Jerry Vale;
Bobby Vee; Al Caiola



Look somewhere above her, pretend you don't love her
Pretend you don't see her at all

Pretend you don't see her, my heart
Although she is coming our way
Pretend you don't need her, my heart
But smile and pretend to be gay

It's too late for running, my heart
Chin up if the tears start to fall
Look somewhere above her, pretend you don't love her
Pretend you don't see her at all

Pretend you don't see her, my heart
Although she is coming our way
Pretend you don't need her, my heart
But smile and pretend to be gay

It's too late for running, my heart
Chin up if the tears start to fall
Look somewhere above her, pretend you don't love her
Pretend you don't see her at all

Les Mouettes


Les Mouettes
(English Version: The Seagulls)
Composer(s): Jeanine Deckers
Jeanine Deckers (Soeur Sourire)



Les mouettes, deux par deux
S'en vont à la gueu leu, leu
Faire trempette dans
La mer bleu, bleu, bleu
Monsieur Pêche des anguilles
Et Madame se rôtit
Dans le soleil de midi
Grand Papa haut retrousse
Pieds dans l'eau et pans relevés
A rejoint ses jeunes années
Jean-François et Jean-Louis
Embarqués sur l'amphibie
Clament leur joie à grands cris
Au balcon du firmament
Dieu se penche en souriant
Sur la joie de ses enfants

Pretend


Pretend
Composer(s): Lew Douglas; Cliff Parman; Frank Lavere
Performer(s): Nat King Cole;
and various other artists



Pretend you're happy when you're blue
It isn't very hard to do
And you'll find happiness without an end
Whenever you pretend

Remember anyone can dream
And nothing's bad as it may seem
The little things you haven't got
Could be a lot if you pretend

You'll find a love you can share
One you can call all your own
Just close your eyes, she'll be there
You'll never be alone

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

And if you sing this melody
You'll be pretending just like me
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend
So why don't you pretend?

Little Pierrot


Little Pierrot
(French Version: Petit Pierrot)
Composer(s): Jeanine Deckers
Performer(s): Jeanine Deckers (aka The Singing Nun)



Little Pierrot goes his way lightheartedly
And gathers little daises
Spring is laughing in his curly hair
And gives him a festive look
The golden poplars
stretch to the sky
They are searching for the sun
La, la, la
The meadows and the orchards
All jump for joy
La, la, la
The happiness of the Lord
Sings in the world
And the flowers in the in fields
La, la, la
A little pink cloud
In the setting sun
Slowly falls asleep
La, la, la

Prête-Moi Une Chanson


Prête-Moi Une Chanson
German Title: Leih' Mir Eine Melodie
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Refrain:
Eh! Prête-moi une chanson
Joues-la moi sur ton violon
Aides-moi oui toi le musicien
Eh! Prête-moi deux mots d'amour
Un je t'aime et un toujours
Des mots qu'elle comprendra bien

Eh! Prête-moi une chanson
Mais surtout prends bien le ton
De l'espoir que j'ai au fond du cœur
Eh! le temps d'une déclaration
Mets-moi vite au diapason
Des artistes séducteurs
Ah-ah! Je me sens tout chose quand je la vois
Ah-ah! Quel est donc la cause de mon émoi
J'ai la gorge d'un fumeur moi qui ne fume pas
J'ai tout les tics du buveur moi qui ne boit pas
J'ai des problèmes de cœur moi qui n'aimait que moi
Oh la la! qu'est-ce qui n'va pas avec mon petit moi
Refrain ...

Je cultive dans ma cour des roses et du lilas
Je prépare des discours que je ne dirai pas
J'ai beau faire le compte à r'bours
Pour courir dans ses bras
Mes souliers me jouent des tours
Ne m'obéissent pas
Refrain…

Eh! Prête-moi une chanson
Mais surtout prends bien le ton
De l'espoir que j'ai au fond du cœur

Among The Stars


Among The Stars
((French Version: Entre Les Étoiles (Jeannine Deckers)) Composer(s): Jeannine Deckers Performer(s): Jeannine Deckers (aka The Singing Nun)



Among the stars
The Lord has written your name
Among the stars
In His house way up high
Among the stars
The Lord loves your life
Among the stars
Close to Him in paradise

The night when the Lord wished for you
The night, the night when two lovers
gave you life
The night when out of love God
gave you life
Oh bless the night!

Among the stars
The Lord has written your name
Among the stars
In His house way up high
Among the stars
The Lord loves your life
Among the stars
Close to Him in paradise

The day when the Lord
redeemed you
The day
The day when He made you
His child always
The day when your heart
Stayed with the Lord
Bless the day!

Among the stars
The Lord has written your name
Among the stars
In His house way up high
Among the stars
The Lord loves your life
Among the stars
Close to Him in paradise

The evening when the Lord
called your name
The evening
The evening when you've grown old
and you depart this world
The evening when you return
Your spirit transformed
Bless the evening!

Among the stars
The Lord has written your name
Among the stars
In His house way up high
Among the stars
The Lord loves your life
Among the stars
Close to Him in paradise
