Who Are We To Say? (Obey Your Heart)


Who Are We To Say? (Obey Your Heart)
Composer(s): Sigmund Romberg; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Nelson Eddy;
Doris Day; Jeanette MacDonald



Love may fill your heart with a strange delight
Love may build a world that is new
Love may leave your heart like a winter night
No one knows just what love will do

Who are we to say
Just what love will do?
Love may live a day, or all life through

Who are we to say
How a rose will grow
It may fade away or bloom and blow

You and I may plan and scheme
And every thing's arranged
Then there comes a vagrant dream
And all the world is changed!

Who are we to say
When to say goodbye
Or to wonder why we two must part
So we live today loving while we may dear
Knowing love would say
Obey your heart

Who are we to say
When to say goodbye
Or to wonder why we two must part
So we live today loving while we may dear
Knowing love would say
Obey your heart

All Funked Up


All Funked Up
Composer(s): Rick Medlocke - Jim Peterik - Gary Rossington - Hughie Thomasson - Johnny Van Zant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd



Oooohhh....

Ahhhhhhhhh....

Tornados spinnin', I sit here grinnin'
I think we've all seen this movie before
This is confusin', almost amusin'
It's hard to tell up and down anymore
When did it get so crazy, how did we lose control
Everybodies shouting, how bad it really sucks

Situation normal
All funked up, We're all funked up

We had some leaders, and they were cheaters
But they came out smelling like a rose
We should reject them, but we respect them
For what they do when the door is closed
Nothing in this world a simple man can do
Stand up and be counted, ain't you had enough

Situation normal
All funked up, Yeah we're all funked up
We're funtionally disfuntional
We're funtionally yeah disfuntional
We're all funked up

Uuughh....

Don't you know the meaning of the word snafu
Better known as trouble for me and you
Murphy's law will get ya, he's on his way
Same ol' same ol' shit a different day

Uuughh....
Oh...

Tornados spinnin', I sit here grinnin'
I think we've all seen this movie before
This is confusin', almost amusin'
It's hard to tell up and down anymore
Everybodies shouting, how bad it really sucks

Situation normal
All funked up, we're all funked up...
We're all funked up...
We're all funked up...

Ooooohhhhh....

All funked up...

Who Are We


Who Are We
Composer(s): Jay Livingstone; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Vera Lynn;
and various other artists



Who are we to doubt the things we see
A rose, a leaf, a tree
And who are they to dare to say
Our love can never be

Ask yourself, and ask the friendly dove
Why bluebirds mate above,
And who are we to turn the key
That locks the door to love

As sure as summer follows spring
As sure as Sunday church bells ring
As sure as oceans ebb and flow
I know, I know

Love is all for mortals such as we
Just fools would disagree
So to deny a love so true
My darling who are we

All For You (Nat King Cole)


All For You
Composer(s): Robert Sherman
Performer(s): Nat King Cole Trio



When you raise your eyes and make believe
All the stars come out and paint a world of blue
There's my heart right up your sleeve
Waiting all for you

When you smile on me, the world is mine
And the dreams I dream, I know will all come true
Every care becomes divine
Waiting all for you

My heart is beating to the old refrain
When I'm alone with you
My heart's repeating, "I'm in love again"
Can't we hold a rendez-vous?

You're the dreams I dream, the song I sing
You're the stars and moon and nearly everything
Life would be a symphony
Waiting all for you

My heart is beating to the old refrain
When I'm alone with you
My heart's repeating, "I'm in love again"
Can't we hold a rendez-vous?

You're the dreams I dream, the song I sing
You're the stars and moon and nearly everything
Life would be a symphony
Living all for you

Who Am I? (Petula Clark)


Who Am I?
Composer(s): Jackie Trent; Tony Hatch
Performer(s): Petula Clark



The buildings reach up to the sky
The traffic thunders on the busy streets
Pavement slips beneath my feet
I walk alone and wonder "Who am I?"

I close my eyes and I can fly
And I escape from all this worldly strife
Restricted by routine of life
But still I can't discover "Who am I?"

I long to wake up in the morning and find everything has changed
And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown
But every day is just the same, I'm chasing rainbows in the rain
All the dreams that I believe in let me down

Maybe I'm reaching far too high
For I have something else entirely free
The love of someone close to me
Unfettered by the world that hurries by

To question such good fortune, who am I?

I long to wake up in the morning and find everything has changed
And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown
But every day is just the same, I'm chasing rainbows in the rain
All the dreams that I believe in let me down

Maybe I'm reaching far too high
For I have something else entirely free
The love of someone close to me
Unfettered by the world that hurries by

To question such good fortune, who am I?

All For You (Motörhead)


All For You
Composer(s): Michael Burston - Philip Anthony Campbell - Lemmy - Phil Taylor
Performer(s): Motörhead



Still can’t believe it, can’t stand to leave it
But I know the rules
We were doomed babe, too much too soon babe
Acting like fools

Tried to fly and climbed too high
We saw it all, we had to fall
But I swear it’s true, was all for you
I swear it’s true, was all for you

Making love all the time
Never let the day go by, or a night
Sweet music in the dark
You always found the spark to light my light

(Chorus)

The only one babe, to ever break my heart
Was you, such a shame
Though guys never cry, but that’ll be the day I die
Speaking your name

(Chorus)

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...

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

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

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

Thy people shall be my people, my love
Whither thou goest I will go
To love and be loved is part of living

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

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

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

And 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

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

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
