Who Am I? (Elvis Presley)


Who Am I?
Composer(s): Rusty Goodman
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists



When I think of how He came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who am I?

Who am I that The King would bleed and die for
Who am I that He would pray not my will, thine Lord
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
But to that old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?

When I'm reminded of His words
I'll leave Him never
If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever
Oh I wonder what I could have done
To deserve God's only Son
To fight my battles until they're won
For who am I?

Who am I that The King would bleed and die for
Who am I that He would pray not my will, thine Lord
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
But to that old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?
But to an old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?

All For You (Maria Cavallero)


All For You
Composer(s): David Rose - Joe Lubin - David Dortort
Performer(s): Mario Cavallero



It's all for you this love that I bring
The song that I sing is a song from my heart
And it's all for you

Without you there the dreams that I've planned would be grains of sand
Take my dreams, make them true
'Cause they're all for you

The great rugged mountains, these thousand mile plains
This vast blazing desert
Come share all I claim

So take my love and as long as I live
Take all that I have to give, here's my world, take it too
Oh, it's all for you

Who (Will Take My Place)


Who (Will Take My Place) ((Adapted from: Qui (Charles Aznavour) - 1963)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Herbert Kretzmer Performer(s): Dusty Springfield - 1968 and multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1963/1964 - Chi (Charles Aznavour) 1967 - Quien (Charles Aznavour)



Who, when my life is through?
Who will know the joy
I have known with you?
Who will touch your face?
Sleep in your embrace?
Who will take my place
When I sleep alone?

Who, when the day is done?
Who will hold the hand
Of my only one?
Who will climb the heights?
Finding in your nights
All those wild delights
Only I have known

You say you'll always love me
Time has another claim
Why do the gods above me
Play the cynical game?

Oh, life, isn't what it seems
Fickle as the wind
Fragile as a dream
When I end my years
Who will ease my pain?
Kiss away my tears?
And bury me again?

All For The Love Of Sunshine


All For The Love Of Sunshine
Composer(s): Mike Curb - Harley Hatcher - Lalo Schifrin
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
and multiple other artists



The darkness of my world was all cleared away
The flowers are blooming it's a beautiful day
There's a girl with a heart as big as the sky she's sunshine and I know why
All for the love of sunshine all for the love of sunshine
The Lord smiled down on this life of mine and sent me the love of sunshine

Though sunshine can always make my days seem bright
Sunshine can warm up a cold cold night
I know my sunshine was sent from above an angel that's filled with love
All for the love of sunshine...

Through winter the springtime the summer and fall
The moonlight the starlight she outshines them all
In a world filled with fear with pain and such harm my sunshine can't be so warm
All for the love of sunshine...
All for the love of sunshine...
All for the love of sunshine...

Whittle Out A Whistle
Composer(s): Wayne Hoefle; Del Porter
Performer(s): Spike Jones



Turn your back on trouble
Here's the way to be gay
Just whittle out a whistle (whistle)
And whistle all your worries away

Don't let gremlins get ya
Chase them away today
Just whittle out a whistle (whistle)
And whistle all your worries away

Whistle, that's the thing
Come on get happy by whistling
Whistle day and night
You'll find your spirits are lighter

When you're melancholy
Holler hip-hip-hooray
And whittle out a whistle (whistle)
And whistle all your worries away

Whistle, that's the thing
Come on get happy by whistling
Whistle day and night
You'll find your spirits are lighter

When you're melancholy
Holler hip-hip-hooray
And whittle out a whistle (whistle)
And wet your little whistle
And whistle all your worries away

Well, today I'm so weary
Today I'm so blue

All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl

And the joys of this world
All for the love of a girl

All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl
I'm a man who'd give his life
And the joys of this world
All for the love of a girl

Whither Thou Goest
Composer(s): Gary Singer
Performer(s): Les Paul & Mary Ford;

Thy people shall be my people, my love
Whither thou goest I will go
To love and be loved is part of living
The story is told in many ways
The love in each heart is there for giving
True as these words I now say
Thy people shall be my people, my love
Where ever thou goest I will go
For as in that story long ago
The same sweet love story now is so
Thy people shall be my people, my love
Whither thou goest I will go
Whither thou goest I will go

All For Love
Composer(s): Bryan Adams - M. Kamen - R.J. Lange

When it's love you give - I'll be a man of good faith
Then in love you'll live - I'll make a stand I won't break
I'll be the rock you can build on - Be there when you're old
To have and to hold

When there's love inside - I swear I'll always be strong
Then there's a reason why - I'll prove to you we belong
I'll be the wall that protects you - From the wind and the rain
From the hurt and pain

Let's make it...All for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want - the one you need
Cuz when it's all for one - it's one for all
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelin's show
And make it all for one - and all for love

When it's love you make - I'll be the fire in your night
Then it's love you take - I will defend - I will fight
I'll be there when you need me - when honour's at stake
This vow I will make...

Let's make it...All for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want - the one you need
Cuz when it's all for one - it's one for all
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelin's show
And make it all for one - and all for love

That it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want - the one you need
Cuz when it's all for one - it's one for all
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelin's show
And make it all for one - and all for love

Don't lay our love to rest - Cuz we can stand up to the test
We got everything - and more - than we had planned
More than the rivers that run the land
We've got it all in our hands

Let's make it...All for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want - the one you need
Cuz when it's all for one - it's one for all
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelin's show
And make it all for one - and all for love

Now it's all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want - the one you need
Cuz when it's all for one - it's one for all
When there's someone that should know
Then just let your feelin's show
When there's someone that ya want
When there's someone that ya need
Let's make it all - all for one - and all for love

All For Leyna


All For Leyna
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel; Michael Cavanaugh



She stood on the tracks
Waving her arms
Leading me to that third rail shock
Quick as a wink
She changed her mind

She gave me a night
That's all it was
What will it take until I stop
Kidding myself
Wasting my time

There's nothing else I can do
'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna
I don't want anyone new
'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna
There's nothing in it for you
'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna

We laid on the beach
Watching the tide
She didn't tell me there were rocks
Under the waves
Right off the shore
Washed up on the sand
Barely alive
Wishing the undertow would stop
How can a man take anymore

There's nothing else I can do
'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna
I don't want anyone new
'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna
There's nothing in it for you
'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna

I'm failing in school
Losing my friends
Making my family lose their minds
I don't want to eat
I don't want to sleep
I only want Leyna one more time

Now I'm in my room
Watching the tube
Telling myself she still may drop
Over to say
She's changed her mind

So, I wait in the dark
Listening for her,
Instead of my old man saying stop...
Kidding yourself,
Wasting your time

There's nothing else I can do
'Cause I'm doing it all for Leyna
I don't want anyone new
'Cause I'm living it all for Leyna
There's nothing in it for you
'Cause I'm giving it all to Leyna

All for Leyna
All for Leyna

White Silver Sands


White Silver Sands
Composer(s): Chris Matthews
Performer(s): Don Rondo;
and various other artists



Where the deep blue pearly waters
Wash upon while silver sands
There on the brink of love I kissed her
And obeyed our hearts command

Where the deep blue pearly waters
Wash upon while silver sands
We watched the sun set in the evening
In a far and distant land

So beneath God's blue heaven
There's a place that I must go
See the sun set in the evening
With the only girl I know

Where the deep blue pearly waters
Wash upon while silver sands
There on the brink of love I kissed her
And obeyed our hearts command

We watched the sun set in the evening
See the moon yellow and pale
Watch the gaucho's ride the pinto's
All across the pampas trail

Where the deep blue pearly waters
Wash upon while silver sands
There on the brink of love I kissed her
And obeyed our hearts command

All Fly Away


All Fly Away
Composer(s): Tom Pacheco - John Palumbo
Performer(s): Jefferson Starship; Crack the Sky; John Palumbo



Moonrise above the Rio Grande
On this fantasy of sand
As I drift into a dream
And I feel the comet scream
Three birds watching from a rock
And I swear the third one talked
Rise up through the fog and we can
All fly away
All fly away
Let's leave today
And we can climb through time tomorrow

Space city like a jewel on wings
Rocket ships like bees they sting
Planets of fantastic sight
Floating up in pastel light
Twisted trees in Martian breeze
Catch that horse don't let him freeze
Won't you come along and we can all fly away
All fly away, let's leave today
And we can climb through time tomorrow

We rode a bubble through the sun
We all knew it could be done
There were men with fiery wings
And a million burning things
Silver statues on the run
Bleeding there since Kingdom come
Won't you pick them up and we can all fly away
All fly away, let's leave today
And we can climb through time tomorrow
Dragon fly away

White Shoes


White Shoes
Composer(s): Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; Randy Meisner



I want 'em
I need 'em
And I'm gonna go out and get 'em
White shoes
I know I'll
Feel better
When I slide down into the leather
White shoes

You know she left me with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yeah, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm going out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah, white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes

Well, I woke up
Form a dream
When I saw 'em in a magazine
White shoes
I said, Jack
You gotta start new
And the first thing you gonna do
Is get some white shoes

You know she left she with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yeah, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm goin' out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah, white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes

I want 'em
I need 'em
Yes, and I went out
And got 'em
White shoes

That new girl
When I see her
I'm gonna walk right up
And meet her in
White shoes

You know she left me with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yes, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm goin' out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes, woah, woah
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes

All Fired Up


All Fired Up
Composer(s): P. Giraldo - Kerryn Tolhurst
Performer(s): Pat Benatar



Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside
All Fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up - Hey

Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

All fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe

All fired up
Now I believe there comes a time
All fired up
When everything just falls in line
All fired up
We live an' learn from our mistakes
All fired up, fired up, fired up
The deepest cuts are healed by faith
Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

White Room


White Room
Composer(s): Jack Bruce; Pete Brown
Performer(s): Cream



In a white room
With black curtains
Near the stations
Blackroof country
No gold pavements
Tired starlings
Silver horses
Ran down moonbeams
In your dark eyes
Dawn-light smiled
On you leaving
My contentment

I'll wait in this place
Where the sun never shines
Wait in this place
Were the shadows run from themselves

You said no things
Could secure you
At the station
Platform tickets
Restless diesels
Goodbye windows
In walked into
such a sad time
At the station
As I walked out
Felt my own need
Just beginning

I'll wait in the queue
When the trains come back
Lie with you
Where the shadows run from themselves

At the party
She was kindness
In the hard crowd
Consolation
For the old wounds
Now forgotten
Yellow tigers
Crouched in jungles
In het dark eyes
She's just dressing
Goodbye windows
Tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place
With the lonely crowd
Life in the dark
Where the shadows run from themselves

All Fall Down


All Fall Down
Composer(s): Phil Bates - Bev Bevan
Performer(s): Electric Light Orchestra



What can you tell me, of the perfect man
What can you tell me, now I don't quite understand
We lose our grip, we glide and stall
Some things come easy, some don't come at all

We chip away at the perfect man
What can you show me, now I don't quite understand
Eye to eye nothing left to say
But will you really throw it all away

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Things go wrong, though are strong
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Round and round, we all fall down
Sometime....

No matter how we try to keep things straight
It makes no difference, while we cause our fate
We burn our candle unaware
While on our knees we cry in prayer

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Pain wont last, this too shall pass
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Round and round, time and time, again

But ahhhh
If it's so simple then explain to me
How pain is so close to ecstasy
How change can make you feel so free

Ahhhh
If we were meant to be such perfect fools
Then why do we always break the rules
Crashing through life's scenery

We trip, we stumble, and we all fall down
Angry cries and desperate lies
We slip, we fumble, and we all fall down
Hearts to mend, sun comes up again

White Rabbit


White Rabbit
Composer(s): Grace Slick
Performer(s): Jefferson Airplane



One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"

All Eyes On You


All Eyes On You
Performer(s): Peter Frampton



I'll believe you when I see you cry
No one needs to tell me reasons why
And I'm scared of losing, losing all we have

When there's all eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you

Stop this feeling
Make it go away
I had to change things
Soon as yesterday
As I watch you fading, fading out on me

Now there's all eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you

If I tell you I'll be there
Won't you give me one more chance to change
If you listen to what I say
I know you are the only one for me

I'll believe you when I see you cry
No one needs to tell me reasons why

When there's all eyes on you

All eyes on you
All eyes on you
All eyes on you
Let it be my eyes on you
(Repeats)

White On White


White On White
Composer(s): Lor Crane; Bernice Ross
Performer(s): Danny Williams



White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is getting married today

Here she comes in her wedding gown lookin' like a queen
She has been my only love since she was thirteen
I've been dreaming of this day and how proud I'd be
When she came walkin' down the aisle and held out her hand to me

White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is getting married today

I'll be waiting to kiss the bride when her name is new
Standing oh, so close to her silently saying "I do"
I'll be holding back my tears till she's gone away
'cause she'll belong to someone else when the organ starts to play

White on white, lace on satin
Blue velvet ribbons on her bouquet
White on white, lace on satin
My little angel is ge-e-etting ma-a-rried today

All Eyes


All Eyes
Composer(s): Greg Bloch - Connie - Laura Kinghtlinger - Holly Knight
Performer(s): Heart



Hey hot shot boy
Hand on your hip
You're wasting your time
Giving me lip
When you look at me, it melts my legs
And wraps me around your fingertip

You don't have to say a word
To get hold of me
Take me...shake me
Burning gravity baby
Look at me
Look at me

You're all eyes - all eyes
Touching me in the night
You're all eyes - and those eyes
Are tearing me up inside

We go walking you and I
If some woman turns your eye
I pull you back in my direction
Too keep you by my side

You don't have to go nowhere
To get where you should be
You don't have to look around
Just you look at me - look at me - look at me

You're all eyes - all eyes
Touching me in the night
You're all eyes - and those eyes
Are tearing me up inside
