Theme From "A Summer Place"
Theme From "A Summer Place"
Composer(s): Max Steiner
First release by: Max Steiner - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists
There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
For within that summer place
Your arms reach out to me
And my heart is free from all care
For it knows
There are no gloomy skies
When seen through the eyes
Of those who are blessed with love
And the sweet secret of
A summer place
Is that it's anywhere
When two people share
All their hopes
All their dreams
All their love
There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms

Walkin' In The Sun
Walkin' In The Sun
Composer(s): Jeff Barry
Performer(s): Percy Sledge;
and various other artists
Well, things have been goin' wrong long enough
to know when everything's just right
I've been walking in the dark long enough
to know when I've finally seen the light
I've been losing long enough to know when I finally have won
And even the blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun
Well, I've cried enough tears to recognize this feeling of a smile
I've been bottom rung long enough to know when I'm doing it in style
I've been running long enough to know when there's no more need to run
(O Lord) Even the blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun
The wind is at my back and I'm sailing on a ship long overdue
I've blown so many chances, I ain't gonna blow this one with you
And I've seen enough bad times to know when the good times have begun
O Lord - Even the blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun
(Oh yeah) Even the blind man can tell when he's walking in the sun

A String Of Pearls
A String Of Pearls
Composer(s): Eddie DeLange - Jerry Gray
Performer(s): Glenn Miller & His Orch.
Baby, here's a five and dime
Baby, now's about the time
For a string of pearls à la Woolworth
Ev'ry pearl's a star above
Wrapped in dreams, and filled with love
That old string of pearls à la Woolworth
'Til that happy day in Spring
When you buy the wedding ring
Please, a string of pearls à la Woolworth
Baby you made quite a start
Found the way right to my heart
With a string of pearls à la Woolworth
Wait til the stars peek-a-boo
I've got something just for you
It's a string of pearls à la Woolworth
I found a love so sublime
Right in that old five and dime
With a string of pearls à la Woolworth

Walkin' In The Rain
Walkin' In The Rain
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Phil Spector; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): Jay & The Americans
I want her, I need her
And someday, some way, whoa-oh-oh-oh, I'll meet her
She'll be kinda shy
And real good lookin' too
And I'll be certain she's my girl
By the things she'll like to do
Like walkin' in the rain
And wishin' on the stars up above
And bein' so in love
When she's near me, I'll kiss her
And when she leaves me, whoa-oh-oh-oh, I'll miss her
Though sometimes we'll fight
I won't really care
I know she's gonna be all right
Cause we got so much to share
Like walkin' in the rain
And wishin' on the stars up above
And bein' so in love
(Joannie) No, no she'll never do
(Peggy) No it isn't her too
They would never, no they'd never
Never, ever love
Walkin' in the rain
And wishin' on the stars
Or bein' so in love
Walkin' in the rain

A Stranger In Town
A Stranger In Town
Composer(s): Mel Tormé
Performer(s): Mel Tormé
and multiple other artists
Just arrived on the seventen
Thought I'd see the old gang again
But you know how they come and go
I'm just a stranger in town
Ev'rywhere, ev'ryone I see
Seems to wonder who I can be
And I swear, no one seems to care
About a stranger in town
I saw a cottage on a lonely old street
The weeds have grown 'round the gate
Somehow I felt that you would wait here, my sweet
But it looks like I'm too late
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two
Can't believe that there's no more you
Is there nothing for me?
Will I always be
A stranger in my own home town
I asked around but no one knew you by name
I wonder where you are now?
I always hoped that things would be just the same
And that you'd wait for me somehow
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two
Now that you have found someone new
Is there nothing for me?
Will I always be
A stranger in my own home town?
It hurts to be alone with no one of your own
When you're a stranger in your own home town

A Swingin' Affair
A Swingin' Affair
Composer(s): Cass - Myers
Performer(s): Cliff Richard
Ours will be, a swingin' affair
We won't be tied, we'll be as free as air
For we won't care what tomorrow brings
it'll be just one of those swingin' things
Ours will be, a swingin' affair
We will just be, a very casual pair
for love won't make us an April fool
no, we both decided we'll play it cool
We'll share a few laughs, we'll share an odd date
We'll share a few kisses, when it's growing late
and though the stars and moon may shine up above
we'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding
Just for kicks, we two will have our fling
and we'll have fun while there's time to spare
for we'll both enjoy our swingin' affair
Hey let's have a swingin' affair
We won't be tied, we'll be as free as air
For we won't care what tomorrow brings
it'll be just one of those swingin' things
Ours will be, a swingin' affair
We will just be, a very casual pair
for love won't make us an April fool
no, we both decided we'll play it cool
We'll share a few laughs, we'll share an odd date
We'll share a few kisses, when it's growing late
and though the stars and moon may shine up above
we'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding
Just for kicks, we two will have our fling
and we'll have fun while there's time to spare
for we'll all enjoy our swingin' affair
We'll enjoy the magic, but we won't fall in love
Ours will be a ringa, ding, ding
Just for kicks, we'll two will have our fling
and we'll pretend we are not aware
this is more, so much more than a swingin' affair

Walkin' Back To Georgia
Walkin' Back To Georgia
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
And all I own is upon my back
Chorus:
But she's the girl who said she loved me
On that hot dusty Macon road
And if she's still around
I'm gonna settle down
With that hard lovin' Georgia girl
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
She's the only one who knows
How it feels when you lose a dream
And how it feels when you dream alone
(Repeat Chorus)
Georgia can you hear me callin'
Oh I'll be home in just a while
And if I had to I'd be crawlin'
Just to share another mornin' smile
But you're the girl who said you loved me
On that hot dusty long ago
And if you're still around
I'm gonna settle down
With you my hard lovin' Georgia girl ... because
I'm walkin' back to Georgia
And I hope she will take me back
Nothin' in my pockets
And all I own is upon my back
(Repeat Chorus)

A Sunny Day
A Sunny Day
Composer(s): Donovan
Performer(s): Donovan
Sunny day while away the afternoon
Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink
From the river drink
Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel
Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small
Hover over river
Diving, writhing, gnattring chiff chaff chattering
Woodpecker staggering hammering
Exaggerating off his find
Do da do
Sunny day while away the afternoon
Cutting nettles that are hiding petals pink
From the river drink
Bluebells, wood dells where dwells a squirrel
Who slinks along branched patterns heightens call of coaltit small
Hover over river

Walkin' Along
Walkin' Along
Performer(s): The Diamonds
Walkin' along my merry way
Singin' a song I will be gay
I found a love and love is here to stay
Walking along just feeling glad
Singin' a song I won't be sad
Oh, happy day
I'm just walkin' along
When I'm walkin' feel just like a king
When I'm singin' don't care 'bout a thing
The reason I feel the way I do
You love me, whoo
I love you, who-ooh
Walkin' along my merry way
Singin' a song I will be gay
Oh, happy day
I'm just walkin' along

A Summer Song
A Summer Song
Composer(s): Chad Stuart - Clive Metcalfe - Keith Noble
First release by: Chad & Jeremy - 1964
Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by
Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I
Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky
They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no
And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no
And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
And dream of you

Performer(s): George Jones
and multiple other artists
Walk through this world with me, go where I go
Share all my dreams with me, I need you so
In life we search and some of us find

And now that I've found you, new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
Walk through this world with me, go where I go
Share all my dreams with me, I need you so
And now that I've found you, new horizons I see
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me
Come take my hand and walk through this world with me

À Suivre (Françoise Hardy)
À Suivre
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Je le respire comme une fleur
Je le caresse comme une soie
Je suis suspendue à son cœur
Mon ciel, mon enfer à la fois
Je l'écoute comme un oracle
Magie infinie d'une voix
Je le regarde comme un miracle
Dont mes yeux ne reviennent pas
Je le protège comme un enfant
Fragile, dans le creux de mes bras
Il me fait peur comme le temps
Qui passe et que l'on ne retient pas
Il m'émerveille comme un rêve
Qui c'est enfin réalisé
Et il me fait mal comme un rêve
Dont il va falloir m'éveiller...

Composer(s): Joe Perry; Steven Tyler
Performer(s): Aerosmith
Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Till I talked to your daddy, he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a changin' your ways
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I knowed love was here to stay
When she told me to
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Just gimme a kiss
Like this!
Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
Like this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Just gimme a kiss
Like this!

À Suivre (Bernard Lavilliers)
À Suivre
Composer(s): P. Arroyo - Bernard Lavilliers
Performer(s): Bernard Lavilliers
Septembre est venu dans la lumière
J'ai jeté mon sac à l'hôtel du port
Un goût de sel sur une paupière brulée
J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore
si tu m'aimes encore
Accoudé au bar de l'univers
C'est l'heure où la bière se transforme en or
Un soleil rouge éclaire nos voiles usées
J'veux savoir si tu m'aimes encore
Criolla
Ce soir je chanterai pour toi
Criolla
J'ai composé d'autres sambas
Je veux d'alcool et des chansons
Je veux les fruits de la passion
Tu verras au fond de mes yeux
Beaucoup de visages
Marins perdus, frères déchirés
Par les grands orages
Il y a trois sortes de gens
Les morts et les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer
La plage est déserte, j'entends la mer
Battre les remparts de Saint-Malo
Murs de granit que rien ne peut tomber
Dites-moi, si elle m'aime encore
J'ai le cœur gonflé d'un mal étrange
Comme les immigrants et les étrangers
Je ne sais pas si je dérange encore
Je n'sais rien, je viens d'arriver
Criolla
Ce soir tu danserais pour moi
Criolla
Dans le bar du tropicana
Chansons de mer, chansons d'amour
Au fond des verres, on voit le jour
Si tu veux encore de ma peau
De mes tatouages
Je dormirais dans ton lit clos
Très loin des nuages
Si rien n'est plus comme avant
Je s'rais un mort vivant
Comme ceux qui sont en mer
J'ai ramené du rhum de Jamaïque
Et des champignons du Mexique
J't'ai ramené des fleurs des tropiques
Et des gris-gris du Centre-Afrique
Des odeurs du sang d'la musique
Des couleurs et des cicatrices
J'ai brûlé les bougies du saint
Arrosées de mon sang carmin
J'appelle Yemanja de la mer
Celle qui tue ou bien espère
La nuit est tombée sur mes prières
Elle s'est endormie à l'hôtel du port
Mon goût de sel sur sa crinière mouillée
Avec elle, je voyage encore...
je voyage encore... je voyage encore...

Performer(s): Was (Not Was); George Clinton
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacko boom boom
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
It was a night like this
fourty million years ago
I lit a cigarette
picked up a monkey
start to go
The sun was spitting fire
the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice"
I walked a dinosaur
I walked a dinosaur!
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
I met you in a cave
you were painting Buffalo
I said I'd be your slave
follow wherever you go
That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
You fell asleep
I stayed awake and watched the passing cars
I walked a dinosaur
I walked a dinosaur! . . .
A shadow from the sky
much too big to be a bird
A screaming
crashing noise
louder than I've ever heard
It looked like two big silver trees
that somehow learned to soar
Suddenly a summer breeze and a mighty lion's roar
I killed a dinosaur
I killed a dinosaur!
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom

A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré
A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré
((Adapted from: I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face (Rex Harrison) - 1956))
((Dutch Version: Ik Voel Dat Ik Haar Mis (Wim Sonneveld))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Manolo Fabregas
Performer(s): Manolo Fabregas
Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya!
A su mirar me acostumbré
Con ella el sol volvió a nacer
A su vivir me acostumbré
Y a verla junto a mí
Andar, reír, hablar, gemir
Una segunda juventud
Un nuevo día en mi vivir
Yo me jactaba de ser libre
De ser dueño de mi ser
Libre sin que nadie me dijera lo que hacer
Hasta que al fin la conocí
Y así me acostumbré a ser un nuevo ser
Casarse con Freddy, Ja!
Que descabellada, que dura, tonta y absurda idea
Pero las pagará, las pagará
Esa boda es un desastre
Aún antes de la bendición
Puedo verla ya, con su digna majestad
En un cuarto miserable de pensión
Puedo verla ya sin poder ni pan comprar
En la puerta un enfurecido cobrador
Querrá lucrar con mis lecciónes
Para el marido mantener
Y otra vez vendiendo flores
En el arroyo ha de ser
Ja!
En un año más con el pelo todo gris
Sus mejillas lucerán otro color
Y el marido aquél que juró amor sin fin
Habrá ido a Paris o Nuevo York
Pobre Eliza
Que horrible caso!
Que degradante! Que delicioso!
Y que tremenda noche en que envitablemente llamará
Y acudirá a mi puerta ahogada en llanto
Desesperada y sóla, arrepentida y contrita
La dejaré entrar o la echaré a los lobos?
Seré bondadoso o le daré merecido?
La invitaré o la arrojaré como un trapo viejo?
Soy un hombre sin rencor
Y es más sin torquedad sin maldad
Nunca he sacado ventaja de alguien jamás
Todo un hombre sin rencor
Más, yo nunca más atestaré
Aún de rodillas a mis pies
Aunque jure por su honor
Aunque llore de dolor
Con la puerta en las narices le daré!
Casarse con Freddy
Bah!
Sin embargo escucho aún su risa al despertar
Su linda voz, sus sí's, sus no's
Una segunda juventud
Un nuevo día en mi vivir
Por suerte siempre ha sido fácil
Olvidar a una mujer
Todo el mundo lo hace
Yo podré también, si no es
Por la costumbre que hay en mí
De algo que no sé, de algo que sentí

Walk Tall
Walk Tall
Composer(s): Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Val Doonican;
and various other artists
(Walk tall)
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
All through the years that I grew up, ma taught these things to me
But I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see
I ignored the things she said as if I'd never heard
Now I see and understand the wisdom of her words
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I started goin' places where the youngsters shouldn't go
I got to know the kind of girls it's better not to know
I fell in with a bad crowd and laughed and drank with them
Through the laughter mama's words would echo now and then
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I got in trouble with the law and I'm in prison now
Through these prison bars I see things so much different now
I've got one year left to serve and when my time is done
I'll walk tall and straight and make ma proud to call me son
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
Walk tall
