We Should Be Together


We Should Be Together
Composer(s): Walter Bullock; Harold Spina
Performer(s): Shirley Temple; Maria Muldaur



We should be together
Like the walls and ceiling
Like a door and doorknob
Like the hat on your knob
Like butler goes with doorbell
Keyhole with key
I think we'll get by
If you'll stick with me

We should be together
Like the frame and picture
Like shoes and stockings
Like the clocks tick tockings
Like tap and toe, like high and low
Stop and go honey
Your a perfect lady
Your a regular guy
We should be together, you and I

We should be together
Like bread and butter
We should be together
Like putt and putter
Like corned beef with cabbage
And lamb with stew
How lucky I am that I go with you

We should be together
Like rhyme and reason
Like a coat and muffler
When the weather's freezin'
Like June and Moon
In every popular song
Baby, your a cup of coffee
Your a peachy pie
We should be together, you and I

Absolute Beginners (David Bowie)


Absolute Beginners
Composer(s): David Bowie
First release by: David Bowie - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
And I'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean/sail over heartaches second time
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Absent Friends (Killing Joke)


Absent Friends
Composer(s): Jaz Coleman - K. Walker - Youth
Performer(s): Killing Joke



I remember the sun beating down
Across my back
The taste of olives and pleasures that
You taught me
And we broke bread and then we drank
Cheap white wine
Memories of happiness frozen for all time

I hear you crying in my heart
Absent friends shall live by love
Remember places of my past
Absent friends shall live by love
And the dead shall live again
Absent friends shall live by
Love...love...love...love

And i remember laughing so much we cried
You knew my every thought, there was
Nothing i could hide
We celebrated moons we marvelled at
The night sky
With flute and drum and pen we were
Grateful for our lives

I hear you crying in my heart
Absent friends shall live by love
Remember places of my past
Absent friends shall live by love
And the dead shall live again
Absent friends shall live by
Love...love...love...love

I hear you crying in my heart
Absent friends shall live by love
Remember places of my past
Absent friends shall live by love
And the dead shall live again
Absent friends shall live by
Love...love...love...love

We Saw The Sea


We Saw The Sea
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire;
and various other artists



We joined the Navy to see the world
And what did we see?
We saw the sea
We saw the Pacific and the Atlantic
But the Atlantic isn't romantic
And the Pacific isn't what it's cracked up to be

We joined the Navy to do or die
But we didn't do and we didn't die
We were much too busy looking at the ocean and the sky
And what did we see?
We saw the sea
We saw the Atlantic and the Pacific
But the Pacific isn't terrific
And the Atlantic isn't what it's cracked up to be

They tell us that the Admiral
Is as nice as he can be
But we never see the Admiral
Because the Admiral has never been to sea

We joined the Navy to see the girls
And what did we see?
We saw the sea
Instead of a girl or two in a taxi
We were compelled to look at the Black Sea
Seeing the Black Sea isn't what it's cracked up to be

Sailing, sailing home again
To see the girls upon the village green
Then across the foam again
To see the other seas we haven't seen

We owe the Navy an awful lot
For they taught us how to do the Sailor's Hornpipe
And they showed us how to tie a sailor's knot
But more than that, they showed us the sea
We never get seasick sailing the ocean
We don't object to feeling the motion
We're never seasick but we are awful sick of sea

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder


Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
Composer(s): Samuel M. Lewis - Harry Warren - Joseph Young
Performer(s): Dean Martin; The Ames Brothers; Russ Morgan



If you should leave me
I know it would grieve me
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

I love you dearly
I'm yours sincerely
But honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

When the cat's away the mice will play
I don't say I will but still I may
I may be blue away from you
And then again I may be gay

When I get fretful I get forgetful
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else

When the cat's away the mice will play
I don't say I will but still I may
I may be blue away from you
And then again I may be gay

When I get fretful I get forgetful
So honey please remember
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
For somebody else
For somebody else

We Said Hello, Goodbye (Don't Look Back)


We Said Hello, Goodbye (Don't Look Back)
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



We said goodbye to a dear old friend
And we packed our bags and left feeling sad
It's the only way
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile
It's the only way
Only way
Turn your head
And don't look back
Set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there oh
Well it really don't matter much where you are
Cause home is in your heart
It's a feeling that you wake with one day
Some people key p running all their life
And still find they haven't gone too far
They don't see it's the feeling inside - the feeling inside oh
Turn your head and don't look back
Just set your sails for a new horizon
Don't turn around don't look down
Oh there's life across the tracks
And you know it's really not surprising
It gets better when you get there
We said hello as we turned the key
A new roof over our heads
Gave a smile - it's the only way

Abschiedsmelodie


Abschiedsmelodie
((Adapted from: Il Silenzio (Nino Rosso))
((French & Spanish Versions: Bonsoir Mon Amour (Dalida); El Silencio (Dalida))
Composer(s): Willy Brezza - Nino Rosso - Binder
Performer(s): Dalida



Leb wohl, du musst gehn
Auf wiedersehn auf wiedersehn
Ein letztes wort, dann bist du fort
Ich bin allein, zu sehr allein, so sehr allein

Abschied und tränen vergehn
Hoffen und sehnen bestehn
Muss ich auch warten auf dich
Weiss ich auch du denkst an mich

Allein so allein
Bei tag und nacht so allein

Buona notte amore
Ti rivedro nei miei sogni
Buona notte, buona notte a te
Che sei lontana

Abschied und tränen vergehn
Hoffen und sehnen bestehn

Leb wohl, du musst gehn
Auf wiedersehn
Leb wohl

We Pretend


We Pretend
Performer(s): Demis Roussos



We pretend that the end hasn't found us
And we cling to the things left behind us
Line by line, every rhyme has been written
And time left us here unaware

In our eyes gentle sighs went unspoken
Yes, the days will remain unforgotten
Love went by and we tried once too often
To save all the dreams that we share

And here we stand, the silent strangers
Afraid to ask which way to go
Our empty hands at last surrender
The reason why we'll never know

We pretend that the end of our rainbow
Cannot die if it lies like a shadow
Willows bend when the wind blows to conquer
The leaves that have withered away

We can't run to the sun like we used to
Nothing lasts from the past that we once knew
You and I can deny that it's over
And yet we must face it somehow

Yet here we stand, the silent strangers
Afraid to ask which way to go
Our empty hands at last surrender
The reason why we'll never know

We pretend that the end hasn't found us
And we cling to the things left behind us
Line by line, every rhyme has been written
And time left us here unaware

In our eyes gentle sighs went unspoken
Yes, the days will remain unforgotten
Love went by and we tried once too often
To save all the dreams that we share

Abschied


Abschied
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico



Seinem Geiste bekenne Ich Mich
Ein Sehnen verzehret sein schönes Gesicht
Das ermattet von Güte beschattet allmächtig ist

Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht
Im Träume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt

Den heulenden Jubel erkenne Ich nicht
Der Mir den heiligen Frieden zerbricht
Sein schweigender Mund, seine schlafende Brust
Harren zärtlich der süßen Lust

Sein Körper bewegt sich nicht
Im Träume sich endlich sein Zwingen vergißt

Abre Tu Ventana


Abre Tu Ventana
Composer(s): Victor Jara
Performer(s): Victor Jara



Maria, abre la ventana
y deja que el sol alumbre
por todos los rincones
de tu casa
Maria, mira hacia afuera
nuestra vida no ha sido hecha
para rodearla de sombras
y tristezas

Maria ya ves
no basta nacer, crecer, amar
para encontrar la felicidad
Paso lo mas cruel
ahora tus ojos se llenan de luz
y tus manos de miel
tus manos de miel
tus manos de miel
Maria...

Tu risa brota como la mañana
brota en el jardin
Maria
Tu risa brota como la mañana
brota en el jardin
Maria

(We Must Have Been) Out Of Our Minds


(We Must Have Been) Out Of Our Minds
Composer(s): Melba Montgomery
Performer(s): Bobby Bare;
and various other artists



We said our goodbyes long ago
Never thinking we'd miss each other so
All the memories we can't leave behind
Oh, we must have been out of our minds

I thought I loved another, not you
How foolish I thought the same, too
They both turned out to be the wrong kind
Oh, we must have been out of our minds

Let's forgive and forget the past we've known
And reap together the wild seeds we've sown
Surely they can forgive us and find
That we must have been out of our minds

I thought I loved another, not you
How foolish I thought the same, too
They both turned out to be the wrong kind
Oh, we must have been out of our minds
Yes, we must have been out of our minds

Abre


Abre
Performer(s): Fito Páez



abre el mundo ante tus pies
abre todo sin querer
abre el zen, la vanidad
abre la profundidad

abren sexos en tu piel
abren cofres si querés
abre el fuego si cantás
abre el mundo una vez más

abre el roce y el amor
se abren paso entre tú y yo
abre el miedo y el dolor
abrís todo y entro yo

abre un cuerpo, se abre el sol
abre dar también perdón
abre verse en realidad
abre gritar de verdad

abre el rito de la fe
abre el riesgo de perder
se abre solo mi ataúd
abre el plexo en una cruz
abre drogas, abre amar
abre besos, abre andar
abre hablar, abre callar
abre el pulso del lugar

abre hacer e imaginar
abre nunca interpretar
abre toda sensación
abre música y color

abre el fin de la razón
abre el cielo y el terror
abre un poco de piedad
abre toda inmensidad

se abre el mundo ante tus pies
abre todo sin querer
abre al fin la vanidad
abre la profundidad

abren sexos en tu piel
abre un cofre si querés
abre el fuego si cantás
abre el mundo una vez más

We Must All Stick Together


We Must All Stick Together
Composer(s): Ralph Butler; R. Wallace
Performer(s): Billy Cotton;
Geraldo; Cyril Grantham



When Britain is in danger, when trouble's in the air
We all forget our squabbles it's trespassers beware
The nation is united when danger looms in sight
We march along together and sing with all our might

We must all stick together, all stick together
And the clouds will soon roll by
We must all stick together, all stick together
Never mind the old school tie
United we shall stand whatever may befall
The richest in the land, the poorest of us all
We must all stick together, birds of a feather
And the clouds will soon roll by

(We must all stick together, all stick together
And the clouds will soon roll by
We must all stick together, all stick together
Never mind your old school tie)

United we shall stand whatever may befall
The richest in the land, the poorest of us all
We must all stick together, birds of a feather
And the clouds will soon roll by

Abrázame Muy Fuerte


Abrázame Muy Fuerte
Composer(s): Juan Gabriel
Performer(s): Juan Gabriel
and multiple other artists



Cuando tu estas conmigo es cuando yo digo
que valió la pena todo todo lo que yo he sufrido
no se si es un sueño aún o es una realidad
pero cuando estoy contigo es cuando digo
que este amor que siento es por que tu lo has merecido
con decirte amor que otra vez he amanecido llorando de felicidad
a tu lado yo siento que estoy viviendo
nada es como ayer

Abrázame que el tiempo pasa y el nunca perdona
ha hecho estragos en gente como en mi persona
abrázame que el tiempo es malo y muy cruel amigo
abrázame que el tiempo es oro si tu estas conmigo
abrázame fuerte muy fuerte y mas fuerte que nunca
siempre abrázame

hoy que tu estas conmigo
yo no se si esta pasando el tiempo o tu lo has detenido
asi quiero estar por siempre aprovecho que estás tu conmigo
te doy gracias por cada momento de mi vivir

tu cuando mires para el cielo
por cada estrella que aparezca amor es un te quiero
abrázame que el tiempo hiere y el cielo es testigo
que el tiempo es cruel y a nadie quiere
por eso te digo

abrázame muy fuerte amor mantenme asi a tu lado
yo quiero agradecerte amor todo lo que me has dado
quiero corresponderte de una forma u otra a diario
amor yo nunca del dolor he sido partidario
pero a mi me toco sufrir cuado con quien crei
en alguien que juro que daba su vida por mi

abrázame que el tiempo pasa y ese no se detiene
abrázame muy fuerte amor que el tiempo en contra viene
abrázame que Dios perdona pero el tiempo a ninguno
abrázame que a el no le importa saber quien es uno
abrázame que el tiempo pasa y ese nunca perdona
ha hecho estragos en mi gente como en mi persona

abrázame que el tiempo es malo y muy cruel amigo
abrázame muy fuerte amor

We Missed You


We Missed You
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Kitty Wells; Doyle Lawson



We missed you and we're glad you've come home
The hours were never so lonely, my eyes were never so strained
From watching and waiting and crying for you
And hoping you'd come back again

Me and my heart and my lips and my arms
We missed you each day you were gone
Me and my heart and my lips and my arms
We missed you and we're glad you've come home

I hope against hope you still love me
There were so many mem'ries I carried
And though you had gone many miles from my side
My love followed you every step

Me and my heart and my lips and my arms
We missed you each day you were gone
Me and my heart and my lips and my arms
We missed you and we're glad you've come home

We May Never Pass This Way (Again)


We May Never Pass This Way (Again)
Composer(s): James Seals; Dash Crofts
Performer(s): Seals & Crofts;
Jeri Brown; George Porter Jr.



Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away
Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin' but it's only just begun
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin'
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again

Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage
Sail our ships out on the open sea
Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again

So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy
I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you
'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend
Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby

We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again
We may never pass this way again

Abraham, Martin And John
Composer(s): Dick Holler
First release by: Dion - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone

Has anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone

Has anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people
But it seems the good die young
But I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Someday soon, it's gonna be
One day

Has anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin'
Up over the hill
With Abraham, Martin and John

We May Never Love Like This Again


We May Never Love Like This Again
Composer(s): Al Kasha; Joel Hirschhorn
Performer(s): Maureen McGovern;
and various other artists



We may never love like this again
Don't stop the flow
We can't let go
We may never love like this again
And touch the sky
Though we may try

So, while we're here
Let's give out all
Release the dreams inside us
And set them free
Oh, while we're here
Let's leave a mark
There's a candle in the dark
It's here to guide us

We may never love like this again
But through the days
Beyond the hills
I'll see you reaching out to hold me
I don't know just where or when
Still, I'm sure
We'll love again
We'll love again

We'll love again
(We may never love like this again)
We'll love again
(We may never love like this again)
We'll love......
