He's Sure The Boy I Love


He's Sure The Boy I Love
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): The Crystals;
Darlene Love; Lulu



I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along
And he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strong
Now that boy I love has come to me
But he sure ain't the way I thought he'd be

He doesn't look like a movie star
He doesn't drive a Cadillac car
He sure ain't yhe boy I've been dreamin' of
But he's sure the boy I love
Let me tell ya now
He' never be a big business man
He always buys on the installment plan
He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of
But he's sure the boy I love
When he holds me tight
Everything's right
Crazy as it seems
I'm his, whatever he is
And I forget all of my dreams
And everybody knows...
He doesn't hang diamonds round my neck
And all he's got's an unemployment check
He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of
But he's sure the boy I love

Stan' Up An' Fight


Stan' Up An' Fight
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Georges Bizet
Performer(s): Joe Adams
and multiple other artists



Thanks a lot!
I'm sure glad to be
To be where I c'n see
So many friends o' mine
How've I been doin'?
How've I been doin'?
If you really wanta know de truth
I'm doin' fine!
Seventeen
Decisions in a row
An' only five on points
De res' was all K.O.
Jackson an' Johnson
Murphy an' Bronson
One by one dey come
An' one by one to dreamland dey go
How's it done?
You ask me, how's it done?
I got a trainer man
Who taught me all I need to know
Sure feels good to have him in my corner
Hear his voice a-whisp'rin' low

"Big boy, remember
You mus' remember...
Stan' up an' fight until you hear de bell
Stan' toe to toe
Trade blow fer blow
Keep punchin' till you make yer punches tell
Show dat crowd watcher know!
Until you hear dat bell
Dat final bell
Stan' up an' fight like hell!"

When you fight
Out in de open air
In a patch o' light
De ring looks small an' white
Out in de blackness
Out in de blackness
You c'n feel a hun'erd thousan' eyes
Fillin' de night
Cigarettes
Are blinkin' in de dark
An' makin' polka dots
Aroun' de baseball park
People are quiet
Den dere's a riot!
Someone t'rows a punch
An' plants it right smack on de mark...
Somebody's hurt
You kinda think it's you
You hang across de ropes
Da's all you want to do
Den you look aroun' an' see your trainer's eyes
Beggin' you to see it through
Dey say, "Remember
Big Boy, remeber

Stan' up an' fight until you hear de bell
Stan' toe to toe
Trade blow fer blow
Keep punchin' till you make yer punches tell
Show dat crowd watcher know!
Until you hear dat bell
Dat final bell
Stan, up an' fight like hell!"

He's So Shy


He's So Shy
Composer(s): Tom Snow; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters; Tom Jones



When I first saw him standin' there
He looked away but I did not care
Something inside whispered to me
You'd better move in carefully

And then he smiled and turned away
That told me all he could not say
That's when I knew
He wanted me too
But I had to do some breakin' through

He's so shy
So good lookin'
He's so shy
And he's really got me goin'
That sweet little boy who caught my eye
He's so shy
I'm so glad I got to know him
He's so shy
'Cos he's one in a million
And I'll love him 'til the day I die
Oh, yes I will

Now holding him gently through the night
Nothin' has ever felt so right
And I'm so glad I took the time
That I had to take to make him mine

He can still do things to my heart
Just like he could right from the start
Each time I see
That quality
That never stops attracting me

He's so shy
That's why I love my baby
He's so shy
You know he's drivin' me crazy
That sweet little boy who caught my eye
He's so shy
I'm so glad I got to know him
He's so shy
And I'm so glad I got to show him
That I'll love him until the day I die
Oh, yes I will

He's so shy
Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby
He's so shy
Oooh-wee, oooh-wee, baby
He's so shy
And that's why. . .

Melinda (Bill Anderson)


Melinda
Composer(s): Jerry Crutchfield - Jimmy Gateley
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



(Melinda, Melinda)
Oh, how I miss Melinda

While walking down a street in Denver
I passed by a little dress shop
A sign on the door read Melinda`s
And I asked myself if I should stop

For I knew a girl named Melinda
When I lived here years ago
And I wondered if by chance it could be
The Melinda I used to know

So I peeked in through the window
And there to my surprice
I saw my darling Melinda
And a tear came to my eyes

For she looked lovely as always
As I watched her standing there
Her face was like an angel`s
With a halo of golden hair

Melinda, Melinda, with the golden hair
Oh, how I miss Melinda (Melinda)

Then I slowly remembered
how she suffered the shame
Of being left with a baby
And me never changing her name

So I ran in and called out, Melinda
So ashamed I hung down my head
But the young girl said sir
I`m sorry but you see my mother is dead

Melinda, Melinda, with the golden hair
Oh, how I miss Melinda

Oh, how I miss Melinda...

He's So Fine


He's So Fine
Composer(s): Ronnie Mack
Performer(s): The Chiffons



He's so fine
Wish he were mine
That handsome boy over there
The one with the wavy hair
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
But I'm gonna make him mine
Be the envy of all the girls
It's just a matter of time
He's a soft-spoken guy
Also seems kind of shy
Makes me wonder if I
Should even give him a try
But then again he can't shy
He can't shy away forever
And I'm Gonna make him mine
If it takes me forever
He's so fine
Got to be mine
Sooner or later
I hope it's not later
We've got to get together
The sooner the better
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
To be held in his arms
If I were a Queen
And he asked me to leave my throne
I'd do anything that he asked
Anything to make him my own
For he's so fine
So fine
So fine

All The Lonely Women In The World


All The Lonely Women In The World
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Bill Anderson



This song`s for all the lonely women in the world
Drivin` a car sittin` in a bar wherever you are
This song`s for all the lonely women in the world
Ringin` your hands thinkin` no man understands

To me there`s nothing sadder than to see a lonely one
Neglected by the one she loves so much
Chances are she works all day and then goes home to nothin'
And sits all night just longin` for his touch

Yet, I`ve known girls with husbands in the house and still they`re lonely
They`ve lost him to the TV and the beer
I guess somehow my heart goes out to all the lonely women
In love with all the men who just don`t care

This song`s for all the lonely women in the world
Sittin` at home watchin` the phone on and on
This song`s for all the lonely women in the world
Ringin` your hands thinkin` no man understands...

(He's) Raining In My Sunshine


(He's) Raining In My Sunshine
Composer(s): Doc Pomus; Mort Shuman
Performer(s): Jay & The Americans



See the raindrops falling, hear them fall so loud
Once I stood in sunlight; now darkness is my shroud
Rain never ever seemed to bother me
Trouble never came my way
The light of her love always followed me
Till her new love turned my world to gray

Now he's raining in my sunshine, clouding up my sky
Yes he's raining in my sunshine, come between her and I

All at once he's taken everything that's mine
Now he stands beside her, he walks in my sunshine
Why did he have to go and steal my love?
Why did he take her away?
She was the only thing I had in life
She was my sunny day

Now he's raining in my sunshine, clouding up my sky
Yes he's raining in my sunshine, come between her and I

She was the only thing I had in life
She was my sunny day

Now he's raining in my sunshine, clouding up my sky
Yes he's raining in my sunshine, come between her and I

Friends (Glen Campbell)


Friends Composer(s): Glen Campbell - Dick Bowman First recording/First release by: - 1968/1969



Friends are never earned They're a gift from a loving God And they're precious beyond human evaluation You dare not take them for granted Or they'll drift away like smoke And the warmth of their caring will vanish Into the chill of the endless nights Most of my friends are unknowns They probably won't even rate an obituary Unless they live and die in a small town somewhere Where nothing much ever happens But a few of my friends are big people They're famous, sensitive, talented And their names are household words And yet they're no more precious in God's eyes, or in mine Than those wonderful nobodys who live and die in obscurity Who's your friend? He's someone who warms you with a nod Or with an unspoken word in hard times When you're hurtin' beyond words She's someone who holds you to her breast And sighs softly into your hair When no other medicine could possibly stop the pain A friend is someone who clinks his glass against yours Or answers the phone at three in the morning when you're lost And with a few words of encouragement and concern Makes you realise that you're not really lost at all Friends come in both sexes, in all shapes and sizes The most important thing they have in common Is their ability to share with you your most sky-splitting joys Or your deepest most awesome sorrows Of all the things that I have in this world I'm most grateful for my friends

He's My Guy


He's My Guy
Composer(s): Don Raye; Gene De Paul
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists



He's my guy, I don't care what he does
'Cause he's my guy, I guess he always was
He's careless about me, I don't think he tries
But once in a while he'll hug me and smile
Then I can see me in his eyes

Oh he's my guy, I know he'll always be
And I will try to keep him loving me
However he wants me, I'm his until I die
For nobody knows, better than I
That he's my guy

He's My Dreamboat


He's My Dreamboat
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): Connie Francis; Lita Roza



He's my dreamboat, asleep in English class
He's my dreamboat, mowin' his folk's grass
He's my dream boat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes
He's my dreamboat, workin' on his car
He's my dreamboat, straddlin' his guitar
He's my dreamboat with the dreamy dreamy eyes

Well now
I dream of dreamboat in everything I do
And I know that darlin' dreamboat
Dreams of me too

He's my dreamboat, coffee in a Dixie cup
Darling dreamboat, that crazy, silly nut
He's my dreamboat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes

Yes, he's my dreamboat, coffee in a Dixie cup
Darlin dreamboat, that crazy, silly nut
He's my dreamboat with the dreamy, dreamy eyes

Stairway To The Stars


Stairway To The Stars
(Adapted from: Park Avenue Fantasy - 1934)
Composer(s): Mitchell Parish - Matt Malneck - Frank Signorelli
Performer(s): Kay Kyser & his Orch. - 1939
and multiple other artists



There's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky
And the night is like a velvet lullaby
There's a heaven of blue
And we'll go there, just you and I

Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
With love beside us to fill the night with a song

We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us as we go drifting along

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?

Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?

Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you

He's Home For A Little While


He's Home For A Little While
Composer(s): Ted Shapiro; Rob Goellner
Performer(s): Doris Day & Les Brown;
Duke Ellington; Anita Ellis; Dinah Shore



He's home for a little while
He's mine once again
No need to tell but it feels simply swell
With him close to me
Where he's supposed to be

He's home for a little while
I've lived for his kiss, I hit the skies
When he looks in my eyes
And my knees grow weak with bliss
He's sort of changed He's kind of different
From the boy I used to know a while ago

Strange how much he says without a word
And when he holds my hand I understand
I'm his but for ever more
He's mine, mine alone
We'll have to part
But he's close to my heart
For the little while he's home

Stay Forever (Platin)


Stay Forever
Composer(s): Simon Gomilšek - Diana Lecnik
First performance by: Platin - 2004



Ooh... hey yeah yeah

Come on, let's fly away, girl
Up on cloud number nine I'd wish to flow
You're my most precious pearl
Hmm... waiting for you, that's all I need to know

Wait and see how it's gonna be
Hold my hand, just don't let go
Birds of a feather flock together
But time will tell, people say, so

Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry, no, no, no

Stay forever, no matter what may happen
Don't give up on me
Do whatever, I'll never let go
I will catch your fall

Through our sunny and dark sides of life
Feelings like this are made to survive
What the rest of the world thinks doesn't matter
Because we know it better

Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry, no, no, no

Stay forever, no matter what may happen
Don't give up on me
Do whatever, I'll never let go
I will catch your fall

Stay forever and ever
You will always be my baby, baby
Stay forever, I'll never hurt you
I won't make you cry

Stay Forever (Hal Ketchum)


Stay Forever
Composer(s): Hal Ketchum - Benmont Tench
Performer(s): Hal Ketchum



Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wastin God's time
Livin without your touch, is driving me out of my mind
If you could only see, how much you matter to me
Maybe you would stay forever

Maybe I care too much, maybe I'll push you away
Maybe I'd have my doubts, if I were in your place
And if you could see inside, this achin heart of mine
Maybe you would stay forever

You don't have to go on living
With your back against the wall
Let my lovin arms surround you
I won't let you fall

And if you would trust in me, and this love of mine
We'll sail an endless sea, under a starry sky
And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close
Maybe you will stay forever

And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close
Baby you will stay forever

He's Got No Love


He's Got No Love
Composer(s): Chris Curtis; Mike Pender
Performer(s): The Searchers



Sometimes a man might wanna cry
Sometimes a man might wanna die
He wonders why he's standin' all alone
It's 'cause he's got no love to call his own

Sometimes a man feels oh so sad
Sometimes a man is hurt so bad
He wonders why he's feelin' sad and cries
It's 'cause he's got no love to dry his eyes

He'd give the world to know someone who'd care for him
He hopes someday someone will share their love with him

Sometimes a man might wanna cry
Sometimes a man might wanna die
He wonders why he's feelin' sad inside
It's 'cause he's got no love to stand beside

He'd give the world to know someone who'd care for him
He hopes someday someone will share their love with him

Sometimes a man feels oh so sad
Sometimes a man is hurt so bad
He wonders why he's feelin' sad inside
It's 'cause he's got no love to stand beside

He's got no love, he's got no love, he's got no love

Stairway To The Sea


Stairway To The Sea
(French & Italian Versions: Le Petit Chemin De Pierres; Scalinatèlla)
Composer(s): Enzo Bonagura - Giuseppe Cioffi - Albert Beach
Performer(s): Johnny Mathis



Deep in the night I climb the stairway to the sea
And pretend you are there beside me, so close beside me, watching the sea
I see us there upon the stairway to the sea
Where the mist softly kissed two lovers, hiding from others our love by the sea

Why try to find a new love when your voice keeps calling me?
I'm just a lonely pris'ner of the stairway to the sea
And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea

And there you'll find me waiting for the day of your return
But till that day how memories can burn

This is my prayer upon the stairway to the sea
That you soon will be there before me, whisp'ring "Adore me" there by the sea

There by the sea
There by the sea!
