Who Kissed Me Last Night?


Who Kissed Me Last Night?
Composer(s): Stephen Weiss
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney



Who kissed me last night
If I only knew
During the masquerade
Who kissed me last night
So diff'rent, so new
Now I'm bewitched, afraid
Afraid I'm in love with a stranger who's gone
Whose kiss was such delight
Who kissed me last night
I must find the one
The one who kissed me last night

All I Could Do Was Cry


All I Could Do Was Cry
Composer(s): Billy Davis - Gwen Fuqua - Berry Gordy Jr.
Performer(s): Etta James
and multiple other artists



I heard church bells ringing
I heard a choir singing
I saw my love walk down the aisle
On her finger he placed a ring

Oh, I saw them holding hands
She was standing there with my man
I heard them promise "Till death do us part"
Each word was a pain in my heart

All I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Yeah and now the wedding's over
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads
For them life has just begun
But mine is at an end

All, all I could do, all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
All I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)
I was losing the man that I loved (cry, cry, cry)
And all I could do was cry (cry, cry, cry)

Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?


Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?
Composer(s): Stan McKenney; Bill Withers
Performer(s): Bill Withers;
and various other artists



A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
I don't know who he is
But I think that you do
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?

Ahh
Something in my heart and in your eye
Tells me he's not someone just passing by
Ahh
And when you cleared your throat
Was that your cue?
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?

Ahh now
When I add the sum of you and me
I get confused when I keep coming up with 3
You're too much for one man
But not enough for two
Dadgummit
Who is he and what is he to you?

Well
You tell me men don't have much intuition
Is that what you really thinkin girl
Or are you wishing?
Before you wreck your old home
And searcht another new
Dadgummit
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?
Who is he, and what is he to you?

All I Can Remember


All I Can Remember
Composer(s): Keith Potger
Performer(s): The Seekers; Judith Durham



Summer days and summer breezes, flowers everywhere
Are all that I remember of times we used to share
Summer nights and summer beaches, flowing into fall
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

I remember seasons when you weren't so far away
I still can hear your laughter and things you used to say
Sheltered from the world behind the ivy-covered wall
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

Somewhere above me
You smiling face, warm embrace fill my mind
I know you love me
And you're the one for whom the sun will always shine

So, my love, the more I think the more I want to say
Your love to me is sunshine and laughing summer days
Once again I realize I loved you most of all
That's all I can remember, all that I recall

Who Has The Last Laugh Now


Who Has The Last Laugh Now
Composer(s): Charles McCormick
Performer(s): Bloodstone



You may laugh (you may laugh, ha, ha)
When you see me crying (when you see me crying) (when you see me crying)
Oh, you gonna laugh, when I tell you, goodbye

I’ve tried to do all I could to make this love last
Now I’m looking for my future
Get it all in my past
Won’t you tell me
Who has the last laugh now

I really wanna know
You remember (you remember)
When you tell your friends
That your man, your righteous old man
Is gone crying again

Oh, but what will you say
If I never set foot on your door again
What will you tell your friends then
Will you tell me
Who has the last laugh now

I wanna know, I wanna know
Who has the last laugh
I wanna know

You may laugh, you may laugh, you may laugh
When you tell your friends
But, oh you gonna laugh (oh you gonna laugh)
If I never set foot on your door again

Oh, I have tried to do all I could
To make our love last
I’ve got to look upon my future
Forget all my past
Oh, I want to tell you (tell me)
Who has the laugh last now

I wanna know, I wanna know
Who has the last laugh
Oh I bet you know

When I was good to you
You used to laugh at me
Now I have to let you know
That I have to let you go

All I Can Do Is Write About It


All I Can Do Is Write About It
Composer(s): Allen Collins - Ronnie VanZant
Performer(s): Lynyrd Skynyrd; Uncle Kracker



Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere
There ain't no place I ain't never gone
But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times
Well there just ain't no plae like home
Did you ever see a she-gator protect her young
Or a fish in a river swimming free
Did you ever see the beauty of the hills of Carolina
Or the sweetness of the grass in Tennessee
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Do you like to see a mountain stream a-flowin'
Do you like to see a youngun with his dog
Did you ever stop to think about, well, the air your breathin'
Well you better listen to my song
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

I'm not tryin' to put down no big cities
But the things they write about us is just a bore
Well you can take a boy out of ol' Dixieland
But you'll never take ol' Dixie from a boy
And Lord I can't make any changes
All I can do is write 'em in a song
I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes
'Cause I can see the concrete slowly creepin'
Lord take me and mine before that comes

Who Has Seen The Wind


Who Has Seen The Wind
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



Who has seen the wind scalloping the sea
Or gliding like a swallow over villages and trees?
"I have," said the willow
"And I begged him please to stay, but he went away
He went on his own one day"
And I sing
"One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye"
And I sing "Part of me dies until I see you again"
Who has seen the sun through a parasol of leaves
Through scattered ruby cloud fires, through the silver wings of bees?
"I have," said the waters, "and I held his face to mine
But he left in time, he went in his own good time"
And I sing "One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye," and I sing
"Part of me dies until I see you again"
Who has seen the stranger in a coat of simple brown
With his face of many faces, with his eyes turned out of town?
I have and I kissed him and I begged him please to stay
But he went away, with the sun and the wind away
And I sing "One love have I," and he sings
"Now it's goodbye," and I sing
"Part of me dies until I see you again"

All I Can Do (The Carpenters)


All I Can Do
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - John Bettis
Performer(s): The Carpenters



Yesterday I thought you'd stay
I though you'd see things my way
But now I see my hopes rainy day

I should have known when you said I was the one you wanted
wanting meant nothing more than today

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away

Ev'ry road that I follow leaves me with no tomorrow
I need someone to show me the way

All I can do is cry over you
and hope you return someday
All I can do is cry over you
since you've gone away

All I Can Do (Dolly Parton)


All I Can Do
Performer(s): Dolly Parton



It's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so
I wasn't looking for love when I found you
Just someone to be with and have a good time
But I get these strange funny feelings around you
When you're not with me, you're still on my mind

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

I had intended to wait for a long time
I thought that love would just mess up my plans
'Cause I had big plans for a bright shining future
Could this be my future that's holding my hand

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

I need to tell you how I feel about you
But I'm so afraid that you don't feel the same
But if I don't tell you how I feel about you
I just might lose you, can I take that chance

And it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from letting it show
Yeah it's all I can do to keep from falling in love with you
All I can do to keep from telling you so

Who Do You Think You Are?


Who Do You Think You Are?
Composer(s): Des Dyer; Clive Scott
Performer(s): Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods



Who am I?
I'm just a guy who only wants to try
To do what's right and never make you cry
But you're no good to me, and

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?
If you want me there, you gotta care
Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me this way?
Who do you think you are, hurting me more with everything you say?
It's not fair, you don't care
Who do you really think that you are?

Where are we?
We're at the crossroads and I just can't see
Which road to take to keep you here with me
The lights are down and baby,

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?
If you want me there, you gotta care
Who do you think you are, taking advantage of me that way?
Who do you think you are, hurting me with everything you say?
It's not fair, you don't care
Who do you really think that you are?

Who am I?
I'm just a guy who only wants to try
To do what's right and never make you cry
But you're no good to me, and

Who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?

Yeah, baby, who do you think you are?
You try to push me a bit too far
And every day sees another scar
Tell me, who do you think you are?

let daylight
dry your tears
I'm here
with you, beside you
to guard you
and to guide you...

with talk of summertime...

Say you need me
with you
now and always...
Promise me that all
you say is true

of you...

Let me be
your shelter
let me be your light
You're safe

Phantom:
I gave you my music...
made your song take wing...
and now how you've
repaid me
denied me
and betrayed me...
He was bound to love you
when he heard you sing...

Christine...
Christine...

Raoul & Christine:
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime...
say the word
and I will follow you...

Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning...

Phantom:
You will curse the day
you did not do
all that the Phantom asked
of you...!

Who Do You Love?


Who Do You Love?
Composer(s): Ellis McDaniel
Performer(s): Bo Diddley;
and various other artists



I walked 47 miles of barbed wire
Used a cobra snake for a neck tie
Got a brand new house on the roadside
Made out of rattlesnake hide
I got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of human skulls
Now come on darling let's take a little walk, tell me

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Arlene took me by the hand
And said oooh eeeh daddy I understand

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

The night was black and the night was blue
And around the corner an ice wagon flew
A bump was a hittin' lord and somebody screemed
You should have heard just what I seen

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Arleen took me by my hand, she said
Ooo-ee Bo you know I understand
I got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
I lived long enough and I ain't scared of dying

Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love

Meer Vraag Ik Niet Van Jou


Meer Vraag Ik Niet Van Jou
((Adapted from: All I Ask Of You (by Sarah Brightman & Steve Barton) - 1986))
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Charles Hart - Richard Stilgoe - Seth Gaaikema
Performer(s): Ann De Winne & Garry Hagger - 1998



Nooit meer sombere buien, angst voor het bestaan
Bij mij, ben je echt veilig
Jouw vrijheid is mij heilig

Nooit meer angstig huilen
Het zonlicht droogt de traan
Bij mij vind je bescherming, in troostende omarming

Breng de liefde in mijn eenzaam leven
Zing de zomer in mijn angstig hart

Zeg me, 'zonder jou kan ik niet leven'
Zeg me, dat in waarheid en in trouw
Meer vraag ik niet van jou

Kom maar bij me schuilen
Kruip maar dicht bij mij
Liefste, niemand zal het wagen, om jou angst aan te jagen

Wat ik wil, is vrijheid
Wat ik wil, is licht
En jij, jij zult me strelen en alles met me delen

Beloof me dan voorgoed bij mij te blijven
Deel de morgen, deel de dag, de nacht
Angst en eenzaamheid, zal ik verdrijven
Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw
Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Deel met mij de liefde heel mijn leven
Wijs de weg en ik ga met je mee
Deel met mij de dag, de nacht, de morgen
Zeg die woorden

Ik hou van jou

Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Elke dag, maak ik de hemel blauw
Liefste, meer vraag ik niet van jou

Venedig In Grau


Venedig In Grau ((Adapted from: Que C'est Triste Venise (Charles Aznavour) - 1964)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Françoise Dorin - Walter Brandin Performer(s): Corry Brokken - 1965

Versions In Other Languages: 1965 - How Sad Venice Can Be (Charles Aznavour) 1965 - Venice Blue (Bobby Darin) 1965 - Venecia Sin Ti (Charles Aznavour) 1965 - É Tão Triste Veneza (Agnaldo Timóteo) 1970 - Com'è Triste Venezia (Charles Aznavour)



Ein Venedig in grau
seh' ich heute vor mir
Damals war es so schön
da sah ich es mit dir

So verlassen und leer
schien die Stadt mir noch nie
Ein Venedig in grau
voller Melancholie

Barcarolen der Nacht
weht der Wind zu mir her
Aber sind sie verstummt
schmerzt die Stille noch mehr

Ein Venedig in grau
ohne dich bin ich hier
Die große Traurigkeit
geht immer neben mir

Ein Venedig in grau
ein verlorener Traum
All die Schönheit, die Pracht
heute seh' ich sie kaum

Ich schau weg, wenn ein Paar
in der Gondel sich küßt
Ein Venedig in grau
in dem du nicht mehr bist

Wenn die Sonne verglüht
steh' ich einsam am Meer
Meine Hand sucht die deine
doch sie bleibt leer

Ein Venedig in grau
das bescheint zwar der Mond
Doch traurig frag ich ihn
ob sich die Mühe lohnt

Nein, wohin ich hier schau
tut das Herz mir nur weh
Drum ihr Tauben, ihr Brücken
sage ich euch "Adieu"

Doch ich fürchte nur sehr
wohin ich immer geh'
Ist Venedig in grau
bis ich dich wiederseh'

Who Could Forget You


Who Could Forget You
French Title: Inoubliable
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Delanoë
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Who could forget you
Who could regret you
Can't hold the shifting sands
Madness to love you
But I have to
My life is in your hands, and

Who could forget you
Once I had met you
Nothing could be the same
Fire and water
Angel's face and devil's daughter
For you, love's just a game

We were lovers, then engaged
And in desire chained
each other as emotion raged
Impassioned and insane
Still our bound remains
To survive even death
Written in our stars and blood
Eternally, we'll love together

Who could forget you
Who could regret you
No one could take your place
Illuminating, ever-changing, fascinating
Your presence thrills me, your being fills me
You are my state of grace

Who could forget you
Destiny sent you
Child of confusing charms
Contrite, concealing
In the naked night revealing
When you caress me
Then you possess me
In dreams, and in my arms

All I Am


All I Am
Composer(s): Lynsey De Paul - Susan Sheridan
First release by: Marti Webb - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Who do you think you see
When you look at me
Is it somebody strong
Somebody you could admire
And who do you think I am
When I take your hand
Are you counting on me
To fill your dreams and your desires...

Well all I am
Is lonely (just) like you
All I wanna do
Is have one dream come true
All I am is handing you my heart
And hoping to be part of you

Who do you think you are
Standing in the dark
Are you waiting for me
Why can't I reach you from here
And how do I get to you
Won't you let me through
Don't you think maybe we
Have something special to be shared...

Well all I am
Is lonely (just) like you
All I wanna do
Is have one dream come true
All I am is handing you my heart
And hoping to be part of you

Who Can It Be Now?


Who Can It Be Now?
Composer(s): Colin Hay
Performer(s): Men At Work;
and various other artists



Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go ’way, don’t come ’round here no more
Can’t you see that it’s late at night?
I’m very tired, and I’m not feeling right
All I wish is to be alone
Stay away, don’t you invade my home
Best off if you hang outside
Don’t come in - I’ll only run and hide

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor
If he hears, he’ll knock all day
I’ll be trapped, and here I’ll have to stay
I’ve done no harm, I keep to myself
There’s nothing wrong with my state of mental health
I like it here with my childhood friend
Here they come, those feelings again!

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It’s not the future that I can see
It’s just my fantasy

Oh...who can it be now?
Oh...who can it...who can it...
Yeah yeah yeah

All His Children


All His Children
Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - Henry Mancini
Performer(s): Henry Mancini
and multiple other artists



When you're standing alone with the mountains and the sea
Where the arms of the world are open wide
Where the truth is as plain as the falling rain
And as sure as the time and the tide

You know we're all his children, his next of kin
That's the way it's began
No matter where you're going or where you've been
You're part of the family of man

When you walk down the road and the sun is on your side
With the sweet river breeze on your face
Though you don't hear a sound as you look around
Everything sort of falls into place

You know we're all his children, his next of kin
That's the way it's began
No matter where you're going or where you've been
You're part of the family of man
