Happy Birthday (Tom Chapin)


Happy Birthday
Composer(s): Franz Lehar
Performer(s): Tom Chapin



Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
We love you
Happy Birthday
And may all your dreams come true
When you blow out the candles
One light stays aglow
It's the love light in your eyes
Where'er you go

"Happy Birthday"

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
We love you
Happy Birthday
And may all your dreams come true
When you blow out the candles
One light stays aglow
It's the love light in your eyes
Where'er you go

"Okay, let's sing it one more time
for everybody who has a birthday this year"

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
We love you
Happy Birthday
And may all your dreams come true
When you blow out the candles
One light stays aglow
It's the love light in your eyes
Where'er you go

"When you blow out the candles"

When you blow out the candles
One light stays aglow
It's the love light in your eyes
Where'er you go

One Good Reason (Marlayne)


One Good Reason
Composer(s): Tjeerd van Zanen - Alan Michael
First performance by: Marlayne - 1999



You know there never was a doubt in my mind
You only have to follow and learn how to read the signs
A heartache always seems so easy to find
But I will never let go, I wanna see what this love has to hide
We'll just have to face it, rearrange and place it
I'll never let love pass us by

Give me one good reason and I will give you two
Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say you do
Give me one good reason and I will give you two
Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say: "I do"

You know there never was a cloud in my eye
All we have is one chance to reach out for the clear blue skies
We'll just have to face it, rearrange and place it
I'll never let love pass us by

Give me one good reason and I will give you two
Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say you do
Give me one good reason and I will give you two
Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say: "I do"

(And then the heart...)
The heart gets stronger with every step that we take
(From the moment...)
From the moment we go to sleep till the time that we awake
(I won't let...)
I won't let anybody lead us astray
(And then the line...)
And then the line from me to you will never break or fade away

Give me one good reason and I will give you two
I love you forever, yes, I will, baby, I do

Give me one good reason and I will give you two
Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say you do
Give me one good reason and I will give you two
Say: "I love you forever", say you will, say: "I do"

Say: "I do"

Happy Birthday (Stevie Wonder)


Happy Birthday
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder



You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
‘Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you would agree
It couldn't fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
that they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
all throughout the world

The time is overdue
For people like me and you
Who know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God's children
It should never be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out don't hold it in
Sing it loud as you can

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday

Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Ooh yeah
Happy birthday...
We know the key to unify all people
Is in the dream that you had so long ago
That lives in all of the hearts of people
That believe in unity
We'll make the dream become a reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so

Southern Cross


Southern Cross
Composer(s): Mike Curtis - Rick Curtis - Stephen Stills
First release by: Crosby, Stills & Nash - 1982
Covered by multiple other artists



Got out of town on a boat
Goin' to Southern islands
Sailing a reach
Before a followin' sea
She was makin' for the trades
On the outside
And the downhill run
To Papeete
Off the wind on this heading
Lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of the waterline
Nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon
I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized
Why twice you ran away

Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman/girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will

When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from
Is so small
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin' day
So I'm sailing for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'
And my love is an anchor tied to you
Tied with a silver chain
I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin'
She is all that I have left
And music is her name

Think about how many times
I have fallen
Spirits are using me
larger voices callin'
What heaven brought you and me
Cannot be forgotten
I have been around the world
Lookin' for that woman/girl
Who knows love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will

So we cheated and we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about loving you
At the Southern Cross

Happy Birthday (Joe Dassin)


Happy Birthday
Composer(s): G. Guarnieri; Pallavicini; Vasseur
Performer(s): Joe Dassin



Happy birthday
C'est pas parce qu'on est seul qu'on a pas le droit de danser
De boire du champagne à sa propre santé
De tout illuminer et de se répéter la vie, la vie est belle

Happy birthday
Il est beau mon gâteau, cette année un peu plus petit
Et y a plus de bougies et je vais dîner aux chandelles
En bonne compagnie, la speakerine ce soir est belle

L'an dernier nous étions toi et moi
Cette année tu manques à mon gala
Et je danse sans partenaire
Un ballet qui n'en finit pas

Happy birthday
C'est pas parce qu'on est seul, qu'on a pas le droit de parler
Du beau temps, de la neige et des anniversaires
Qui se sont éloignés des prochains dont tu n'auras rien, rien à faire

Happy birthday
Je me suis fait cadeau du blouson que tu n'aimais pas
Et d'un bel agenda pour tous mes rendez-vous d'amour
Avec toi, pourquoi pas, si tu reviens chez nous un jour

L'an dernier nous étions toi et moi
Cette année tu manques à mon gala
Et je danse sans partenaire
Un ballet qui n'en finit pas

Je Veux Donner Ma Voix


Je Veux Donner Ma Voix
First performance by: Nayah - 1999



S'il n'y a plus de frontières
De nos vies à nos rêves
Et plus qu'une bannière
Un sourire à nos lèvres
Si les murs sont tombés
Qui séparaient nos âmes
S'il suffit d'exister
Pour faire brûler la flamme
S'il suffit de chanter
S'il suffit de chanter

Je veux donner ma voix
Je veux donner mes mots
Je veux donner ma foi
Et ma vie en cadeau
Je veux donner mon cœur
Tout l'amour à venir
Inventer un bonheur
Et ne jamais mourir

S'il n'y a plus de guerre
Qu'on ne gagne d'avance
S'il n'y a plus de frontières
Plus de différences
S'il n'y a plus de chaînes
Qu'on ne puisse détruire
S'il n'y a plus de haine
Pour cacher un sourire
S'il suffit de chanter
S'il suffit de chanter

Je veux donner ma voix

To those nice
nice nights
I remember always

Seeing them in my

my great big cake
If they were me
if they were me
And I was you and I was you
If they were me and I was you
Would you have liked
a present too

Happy
happy birthday in a
hot bath ...

Southbound Train


Southbound Train
Composer(s): Big Bill Broonzy
First release by: Big Bill Broonzy - 1951



I wonder why that southbound train don't run
I wonder why that southbound train don't run
Lord, you don't need no tellin', little girl, you know what you've done

You made me love you, now, your man done come
You made me love you, baby, now, your man done come
Gal, I know you happy, but poor Bill's just a lonely boy

I'm a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go
I'm a hard workin' man, I catch the devil everywhere I go
Lord, if I can make it to the lowland, I won't have to worry no more

Standin' at the station, Lord, waitin' for a train
Standin' at the station, Lord, I was just waitin' for a train
Lord, deep down in my poor heart, baby, that a lie don't ache in pain

I've got my ticket, Mr. conductor man, can I ride
I've got my ticket, please Mr. conductor man, let me ride
Lord, if I make it to the lowland, I'll be satisfied

This Time I Mean It


This Time I Mean It
Composer(s): Ebbe Ravn
First performance by: Michael Teschl & Trine Jepsen - 1999



(This time I mean it, oh baby)

I don't know what it's all about, but I'm startin' to figure out
Simple songs on the radio kinda colour the way I go

Every song holds an inner key to my dreams and my fantasy
Defences down and suddenly all your love comes back to me

And this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now
You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how
Tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again
Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again

Oh... I know what was said and done, it's been hard just to carry on
The sweetest love left a bitter taste, who's to say it was all a waste?

Mmm... 'cause in each quarrel, in every fight, there's a lesson 'bout wrong and right
Oh... looking back, I'm sure to say that we learned from yesterday

So this time I mean it, oh baby, this time I mean it and now
You got me goin' so crazy even though I don't know how
We tried it before but we never happened, we just gotta try it again
Well, this time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again

This time I mean it, oh baby, I'm in love with you again

Southbound


Southbound
Composer(s): Ned Miller
Performer(s): Hank Snow



Hear the clickety clack of the railroad track
Means the wheels are rollin' and I'm goin' back
To the girl I left in a rundown shack I'm southbound
As the miles rush by I miss her more and more tears in my eyes and my heart is sore
Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door I'm southbound
Southbound to my baby southbound I'm nearly crazy
Gonna take her in my arms and never let her go
Never gonna leave her never ever anymore
Soon I'll be a knockin' on her front door I'm southbound

Now the rhythm of the wheels call a memory every mile it comes a little closer to me
Soon it's gonna be reality I'm southbound
My heart keeps sayin' boy you made a mistake
Thought you was a rambler but you're only a fake
This'll be the last trip I'm a gonna make I'm southbound
Southbound to my baby...

Now the night that I left her well she pleaded with me
I know that you're leavin' but it has to be
I'm hopin' that she is a waitin' for me I'm southbound
It's hard to wait till I can see her face I still remember how her sweet lips taste
Not another day am I gonna waste I'm southbound
(Southbound to my baby...)

Happy Anniversary (Roy Rogers)


Happy Anniversary
Composer(s): Bill Eldridge; G. Stewart
Performer(s): Roy Rogers



I've watched the gold in your hair turn silver
And the sparkle in your eyes dim more each day
And the clutch of your hands getting weaker
All these things say it wasn't yesterday

So darlin', Happy Anniversary
You've made my life for me
Once again, thanks for the memory
My darlin', Happy Anniversary

The paper we signed has turned yellow
Its crumbling edges tend to tell its age
Its meaning we will cherish forever
But in the book of our lives, it's just a page

So darlin', Happy Anniversary
You've made my life for me
Once again, thanks for the memory
My darlin', Happy Anniversary
My darlin', Happy Anniversary

Living My Life Without You


Living My Life Without You
Composer(s): Stig André Van Eijk - SEM
First performance by: Van Eijk - 1999



Living my life without you – can it be true?
Something is missing, baby

Ah yeah... (Oh baby, I know it's you)

Nothing feels the same without your loving
I can't stop the rain or wind from blowing
I search inside my soul, try to recover
But life is not the same without my lover

(Since you went away) can't sleep
(Since you went away) can't eat
My world is falling apart, oh baby, baby

Living my life without you – can it be true?
Something is missing, baby
Living my life without you – what can I do?
I think I'm going crazy, (It's you)

(Hey hey... I think I'm going crazy, baby)
(Hey hey...) Ah...

Tried a new romance, tried to run away
But nothing really makes sense when you're gone, baby
I never knew how much I needed you, girl
What can I do to get you back in my world?

(Since you went away) can't sleep
(Since you went away) can't eat
My world is falling apart

Living my life without you – can it be true?
Something is missing, baby
Living my life without you – what can I do?
I think I'm going crazy

It's you (Oh baby, I know it's you)
I think I'm going crazy
(Oh babe, what more can I do?) It's you

(Hey hey... I think I'm going crazy, baby)
(Hey hey...) Living my life without you

(Living my life without you – can it be true?)
Something is missing, baby
Baby... (Living my life without you – what) can I do?
I think I'm going crazy

(Living my life without you – can it be true?)
Something is missing, baby
(Living my life without you – what can I do?)
(I think I'm going crazy) I think I'm going crazy
It's you

Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

I'm so happy for you baby
Now that you've found somebody new
I see it in your eyes, Lord it's no surprise
What he can do for you

But when I look back baby
When I look back to what we had
And I know I'm countin' good times
But there were just as many bad

And so I wish you
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

There's a lesson here to learn when your baby ups and leaves you
Carry on, don't feel concerned even though you're so much in love
You need a little help from above, oh

Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

Oh ain't no foolin' with you baby
Only the words are hard to find
You got me tremblin' at the knees
Answer won't you please
Before I lose my mind

This is our fifth year baby
And I feel like I'm in jail, Lord
I'm holding on to this card
Can't seem to get it in the mail
And the card reads ...

Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

Ooh yeah, happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind
Ah yeah happy anniversary baby
Got you on my mind

Oh, have a happy anniversary
'Cause I've got you on my mind
Always on my mind

Happy anniversary
Happy anniversary

Happy Anniversary (Charles Aznavour)


Happy Anniversary
Titles In Other Languages:
Bon Anniversaire; Buon Anniversario; Qué Buen Aniversario
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Herbert Kretzmer
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



I’ve been ready for hours and I’m wearing my best
Ordered champagne and flowers and you’re not even dressed
Tonight’s a special night to remember with pride
These twenty happy years since you became my bride
It is all too absurd; you’re so cross and abrupt
But I don’t say a word or you’re bound to erupt
Your peculiar moods I’ve experienced before
So I’ll pour another drink and quietly pace the floor
It’s a quarter to eight as we fretfully wait
For your little black dress; that was promised by six
Is it just rotten luck when we’re doing the town
That the fates should conspire to let us mortals down
I have seats for a show and it’s opening night
My shoes do not fit me and my suit is too tight
And you sit there and curse, an occasional curse
And I’ve got a headache that’s quickly getting worse
Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary
They deliver your frock but you’re still in distress
It was past nine o clock when I helped you to dress
I tried to do you up but it wasn’t my day
For then to fill my cup your zipper stuck half way
I got all in a sweat, over anxious and vexed
Will I ever forget the thing that happened next
Your dress came apart with one terrible tear
Your disappointed cries were more than I could bear
At eleven at last, when we got into town
We arrived at the show but the curtain was down
I suggested a bite. No, no you wanted to walk
You had no appetite and no desire to talk
So we strolled for an hour and the evening was sweet
And I bought you a flower from a man in the street
And we kissed on the sidewalk without reason or rhyme
And we knew that our love is stronger than time
Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary, Happy anniversary

This Nearly Was Mine


This Nearly Was Mine
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Barbara Cook
and multiple other artists



Emily:
One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine

One girl for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine

I'll keep rememberin' kisses
From lips I've never owned
And all that lovely adventures
That we have never known

One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight

Now, now I'm alone
Still a-dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!

Happy


Happy
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Well I never kept a dollar past sunset
It always burned a hole in my pants
Never made a school mama happy
Never blew a second chance

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

Always took candy from strangers
Didn't wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like papa
Working for the boss ev'ry night and day

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of Lear jets
When I can fly way back home

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy
Baby, baby keep me happy

Honey Bun


Honey Bun
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Mary Martin
and multiple other artists



Nellie:
My doll is as dainty as a sparrow
Her figure is somethin' to applaud
Where she's narrow she's as narrow an arrow
And she's broad where a broad should be broad

A hundred and one pounds of fun
That's my little honey bun!
Get a load of honey bun tonight

I'm speakin' of my Sweetie Pie
Only sixty inches high
Ev'ry inch is packed with dynamite!

Her hair is blond and curly
Her curls are hurly-burly
Her lips are pips!
I call her hips 'Twirly' and 'Whirly'

She's my baby, I'm her pap!
I'm her booby, she's my trap!
I am caught and I don't wanna run
'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!

I am caught and I don't wanna run
'Cause I'm havin' so much fun with honey bun!

Believe me sonny!
She a cookie who can cook you 'till you're done
Ain't bein' funny!
Sonny, put your money on my honey bun!
