While The Feeling's Good


While The Feeling's Good
Composer(s): Roger Bowling; Freddie Hart
Performer(s): Wayne Newton;
Kenny Rogers; B.J. Thomas



Take your gown out of the closet
Put it on that's why I bought it
Come stand in front of me and let me see
Take the warm smile that you're wearing
Place it on these lips that's burning
To share this fire you've built inside of me
Turn the light down in the bedroom
Pull the sheet down from the pillow
When we're like this
Love's easy understood
Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love in
And let's love each other while the feeling's good

With all my will I promise
With all of me I'll love you
This feeling that I've got
Just grows and grows
I can't stop this wanting you
And I can't stop this needing you
No more than I can stop
The wind that blows
I'll hold to your sweet loving
Long as we both have this feeling
I'll love you everyway I know that's good
Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love in
And let's love each other while the feeling's good

While the feelings good
Let's keep it going
While the loving's good
Let's keep it growing
Let's walk through this house we live in
To the room we always love in
And let's love each other while the feeling's good

All Alone (Frank Sinatra)


All Alone
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra



All alone, I'm so all alone
There is no one else but you
All alone by the telephone
Waiting for a ring, a ting-a-ling

I'm all alone every evening
All alone, feeling blue
Wond'ring where you are and how you are
And if you are all alone too

I wonder where you are (remember me) and how you are
(remember me)
And if you are (I love you) all alone (I love you) too

While The Angelus Was Ringing


While The Angelus Was Ringing
Composer(s): Dick Manning; Jean Villard
Performer(s): Dick Haymes;
Allan Jones; Josef Locke



While the angelus was ringing
calling for the evening prayer
I could hear the choir singing
and I saw you standing there

Silently I stood beside you
how my heart was beating then
all my dreams had all come true
I was safely back with you
never more to roam again

Then the great cathedral spire
seemed to come alive and say
through the voices of the choir
there will be a wedding day

Then a golden ray of sunlight
from a window in the sky
shone upon us from above
heaven's blessing on our love
now our love will never die

Then a golden ray of sunlight
from a window in the sky
shone upon us from above
heaven's blessing on our love
now our love will never die

All Across The Nation


All Across The Nation
Performer(s): Nick Gilder



All Across The Nation
(the wheels are rolling)

All across the nation
I've seen this generation
In a silver plane
A subway train
The man was standing there

and I've got my intuition
There's a game called `recognition`
All around the world
The boys and girls
Are looking for the same

The wheels are rolling
All around the world
The wheels of fortune
Let me see you turn

Ticket for a destination
Aboard the new sensation
A wondering son
The lucky one
A London boy in flight

Looking for the satisfaction
Of that rock `n` roll reaction
Heres an invitation
A reservation
For all to hear the band

New places, new faces
This ever-winding road
Long races at fast paces
Can be a heavy load

While Strolling Through The Park One Day


While Strolling Through The Park One Day
Composer(s): Ed Haley; Reinhard Keiser
Performer(s): Alvin & The Chipmunks



(Refrain)
While strolling through the park one day
In the merry merry month of May
I was taken by surprise
By a pair of roguish eyes
In a moment my poor heart was stole away

A smile was all she gave to me

Of course we were as happy as can be

Ah! I immediately raised my hat
And finally she remarked
I never shall forget
That lovely afternoon
I met her at the fountain in the park

While strolling through the park one day
In the merry merry month of May
I was taken by surprise
By a pair of roguish eyes
In a moment my poor heart was stole away

A smile was all she gave to me
Of course we are as happy as can be
Ah! I immediately raised my hat
And finally she remarked
I never shall forget
That lovely afternoon
I met her at the fountain in the park

All Across The Havens


All Across The Havens
Composer(s): Elton John - Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John



The sister of sunlight
Comes to my lonely life
Bearing the crosses I hung
I hung on my lonely wife
And the anchor told me
If I prayed by the river
That the sweet sound of water
Would always go with her

All across the havens to the waterfall
They told me I would meet her there
Inside those icy walls
But how on earth in this universe
Can they forgive me of my pains
For all across the havens
I must stumble locked in chains

Then the mother of mercy
Showed me her stable
And told me you would be safe
Safe in her cradle
And the waterfall opened
And the water withdrew
Leaving me standing
On a road leading through

While My Heart Is Still Beating


While My Heart Is Still Beating
Composer(s): Bryan Ferry; Andy Mackay
Performer(s): Roxy Music



All of those people
Everywhere
Ever so needing
Where's it all leading
Tell me where
Nothing insincere
I'd better have pity
I'd better go easy
I never will lay down
While my heart is still beating
Where it's all leading
Walk on air
Am I still dreaming
Words to spare
Lost in their meaning
I'd better be strong now
I'd better stop dreaming
My heart has flown away now
Will it never stop bleeding?

All About You


All About You
Composer(s): Mick Jagger - Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Well if you call this a life
Why must I spend it with you?
If the show must go on
Let it go on without you
So sick and tired hanging around with jerks like you

Who'll tell me those lies
And let me think they're true?
What am I to do
You want it, I got it too

Though the lies might be true
That's just cause the joke's about you
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you
You're the first to get blamed, always the last bitch to get paid

Oh, tell me those lies
Let me think they're true
I heard one or two
They weren't about me, they weren't about her
They were all about you

I may miss you
But missing me just isn't you
I'm so sick and tired hanging around with dogs like you

Tell me those lies
Let me think they're true
I heard one or two, and they weren't about me, they weren't about her
They're all about you
I'm so sick and tired
What should I do
You want it, you get it...
So how come I'm still in love with you?

While My Guitar Gently Weeps


While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Composer(s): George Harrison
Performer(s): The Beatles



I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to untold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
I with every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

All About Soul


All About Soul
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel; Anders Holst



She waits for me at night, she waits for me in silence
She gives me all her tenderness and takes away my pain
And so far she hasn't run, though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles while others cry in vain

It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things getting out of control
Should drive her away
So why does she stay?
It's all about soul

She turns to me sometimes and asks me what I'm dreaming
And I realize I must have gone a million miles away
And I ask her how she knew to reach out for me that moment
And she smiles because it's understood there are no words to say

It's all about soul
It's all about knowing what someone is feeling
The woman's got soul
The power of love and the power of healing
This life isn't fair
It's gonna get dark, it's gonna get cold
You've got to be tough, but that ain't enough
It's all about soul

There are people who have lost every trace of human kindness
There are many who have fallen, there are some who still survive
She comes to me at night and she tells me her desires
And she gives me all the love I need to keep my faith alive

It's all about soul
It's all about joy that comes out of sorrow
It's all about soul
Who's standing now and who's standing tomorrow
You've got to be hard
Hard as the rock in that old rock 'n' roll
But that's only part, you know in your heart
It's all about soul

While I'm Waiting


While I'm Waiting
Composer(s): Gary Mallaber; John Massaro
Performer(s): The Steve Miller Band



I left my message on your number
In hopes that you might call
Riding high on good intentions
Still hanging on the wall
Although my words were never all too
Clear it’s understood
It’s never too late to say in other ways
Something in our lives we’ll rearrange
More than just your call on holiday

Ring me up, don’t bring me down
Don’t let me hear you won’t
Come through tonight
Ring me up, don’t bring me down
You know this lonely heart stands by me
While I’m waiting

Remembering how it came together
The meaning in your eyes
Now words fall out like perfect strangers
We both apologize
In all this time I thought I knew you
And over looked somehow the reasons why
You kept inside

Ring me up, don’t bring me down
Don’t let me hear you won’t
Come through tonight
This lonely heart stands by me
While I’m waiting

Ring me up, don’t bring me down
Don’t let me hear you won’t
Come through tonight

Ring me up, don’t bring me down
Here’s hoping the days gone by we’ll see again
This lonely heart stands by and I’m still waiting
Ooh still waiting
Ooh still waiting

All About Love


All About Love
Composer(s): Maurice White - Larry Dunn
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire



We know it’s been time talking to you
So we figure we lay it on you
Let you know how we feel about, love
Paint a pretty smile, each day
Lovin, is a blessing
Never let it fade away
It’s all about love

Build yourself a true romance
There’s beauty that surround you
You deserve, just one more chance

My dear, my dear

Let the light snine, all through
Your mind feel your little, heart a glow
Take the time, make up your mind
It’s all about love

Talking to yourself is fine makes
You feel, much better
Know just where to draw the line

My dear, my dear

Bound to fall in love one day
Surely and you need it
Pretty smile will always say
It’s all about love

We want to take this moment to run
Down a couple of things about things
We see everyday

Now, I want you to stop whatever you’re doing
You’re doing
Just stop
You know, they say there’ s beauty
In the eyes which I say is not the fact
’cause you are as beautiful as your
Thoughts, right on

You know, for instance, we study all kin
Kinds of sciences, astrogy, mysticism
Religion, so forth we did
And like coming from here place, all these things help
Because if you’re inside your inner self
Have mercy!

Now
There’s an outer self we got to deal with
The one that likes to go to parties
One that likes to dress up and be cool
And look pretty, all ego-trips avel all this

Hear you all, I’m trying to tell you
You gotta love you. and learn all the beautiful things around you
Trees and birds. and if there ain’t no beauty
You got to make some beauty
Have mercy!
Listen to me, yeah!

While I'm Still Alive


While I'm Still Alive
Composer(s): Ultravox
Performer(s): Ultravox



Playing the game
With the chips on my shoulder
Checking in the mirror
As my coffee cup gets colder
Stagger and swagger
Combing my hair
If tomorrow's not there
Then at least today's all mine

Chorus:

While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive
While I'm still alive

Strutting my stuff
I'm blagging the damage
From coupling with headlines
I was suckled on salvage
The fighting's exciting
The age is dramatic
I'm crackling with static
Just jiving to survive

(Chorus)

Take a stroll down the side roads, I know you want to
A shock in the dark can be good for your heart, oh yeah

(Chorus)

Scuffling along
On the crest of a wave
Laughing and grafting
Or jerking and working
Striking a match
Where life is a gas
I need the flash
To make it all worthwhile

(Chorus)

All (James Darren)


All
Composer(s): Nino Oliviero - Raymond Jessel - Marian Grudeff
Performer(s): James Darren



All the words I can recall
Could never capture all
The loveliness of you

All the phrases I might sigh
Could never tell you why
I want so much to hold you and enfold you

All your love, bring to me
Come to me, darling, cling to me

And I promise you that

All my life I'll give my all
No task will be too small
And nothing be above me if you love me

All your love, bring to me
Come to me, darling, cling to me

And I promise you that

All my life I'll give my all
No task will be too small
And nothing be above me
If you love me
I will give my all

Alive In The World


Alive In The World
Composer(s): Jackson Browne
Performer(s): Jackson Browne; David Howard



I want to live in the world, not inside my head
I want to live in the world, I want to stand and be counted
With the hopeful and the willing
With the open and the strong
With the voices in the darkness
Fashioning daylight out of song
And the millions of lovers
Alive in the world

I want to live in the world, not behind some wall
I want to live in the world, where I will hear if another voice should call
To the prisoner inside me
To the captive of my doubt
Who among his fantasies harbors the dream of breaking out
And taking his chances
Alive in the world

To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world
To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world

With it's beauty and it's cruelty
With it's heartbreak and it's joy
With it constantly giving birth to life and to forces that destroy
And the infinite power of change
Alive in the world

To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world
To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world
To open my eyes and wake up alive in the world
To open my eyes and fully arrive in the world

Which Way Are You Goin'?


Which Way Are You Goin'?
Composer(s): Jim Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce



Which way are you going, which side will you be on
Will you stand and watch while, all the seeds of hate are sown
Will you stand with those who say, let his will be done
One hand on the bible
One hand on the gun
One hand on the bible
One hand on the gun

Which way are you looking, is it hard to see
Do you say what's wrong for him, is not wrong for me
You walk the streets, righteousness but you refuse to understand
You say you love the baby
Then you crucify the man
You say you love the baby
Then you crucify the man

Everyday, things are changing, words once honored turned to lies
People wondering, can you blame them
Its to far to run, and to late to hide

Now you turn your back on, all the things that you used to preach
Now its let him live in freedom, if he lives like me
Well you light has changed, confusion rains, what have you become
All your olive branches turned to spears
When your flowers turned to guns
Your olive branches turned to spears
When your flowers turned to guns

Alive Again


Alive Again
Composer(s): James Pankow
Performer(s): Chicago



Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again

All the empty yesterdays have disappeared
Now that you have filled my life with love
No one else could ever mean so much to me
Every day my high lasts longer
As our love grows ever stronger

Yesterday I would not have believed
That tomorrow the sun would shine
Then one day you came into my life
I am alive again I am alive again

When you gave your love to me you changed my life
Dreams that once seemd hopeless come with ease
Thank you girl for being just the way you are
I would never try to change you
All I live for is to love you
I'm feeling alive again
I'm feeling alive again

Which One Of Us Is To Blame


Which One Of Us Is To Blame
Composer(s): Sunny Dull; Redd Stewart
Performer(s): Billy Walker;
and various other artists



The nicest thing that's come my way is you
But I can't offer you my heart or name
It isn't fair to love the way we do
I wonder which one of us is to blame

It doesn't bother me at all
What other people say
Because if loving you could be such a crime
I'm guilty all the way

Your nearness makes me tremble with desire
Your ruby red lips can set my soul aflame
For you I'd be a beggar, thief or liar
I wonder which one of us is to blame

Somehow I can't blame myself
Although I guess I should
And I can't place the blame on you
I wouldn't if I could

We've made ourselves the gossip of the town
The things we've done can only bring us shame
We've let our passion drag our honour down
I wonder which one of us is to blame

Alive (Bee Gees)


Alive
Composer(s): Barry Gibb - Maurice Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees



Maybe you talk too high, man
Maybe I talk too slow
But you've got to live a little bit faster
'cause you've got a little less time to go

I ain't lost and I ain't searching
But then you know me very well
And I can't change the wind and make it blow the other way
I'm a fool and I can tell

That I'm alive and that's all
That I can get up just as fast as I fall
And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl
And in the end it doesn't matter at all
I don't know about the people that I read about in books
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive

I ain't lost and I ain't searching
But then you know me very well
And I can't change the world and make it go the other way
I'm a fool and I can tell

That I'm alive and that's all
That I can get up just as fast as I fall
And I can walk and run but I'll never crawl
And in the end it doesn't matter at all
I don't know about those people that I read about in books
And the Kings and Queens around my room with their quiet dirty looks
I know I should be going somewhere, I just can't arrive
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive
I know I should be going somewhere I just can't arrive.
There's a reason for believing that I've never been alive, alive, alive
