With Each Beat Of My Heart


With Each Beat Of My Heart
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder; Susie Hansen



Honey, sweet
I've got something to say to you in privacy
Something I'd like for you to hear
And only your ears alone

Secretly, I've been admiring you intensely
So much so I'd like to settle down with you
And make a home

You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea

Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard you speak
I didn't know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you in each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

Honey, sweet
I soared into a heaven's galaxy
So hypnotized was I
From seeing all the magic in your eyes

So I bring
To you what's been a lifetime fantasy
Of being with the only one who can
Create my paradise

You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea

Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard you speak
I didn't know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you in each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

Alone At Last (Neil Sedaka)


Alone At Last
Composer(s): Phil Cody - Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
and multiple other artists



Alone at last in a hide away
Far away from all the worries in the world
We share each other while the sun's goin' down
Not another soul around
Alone at last you and I

Sunshine plenty of space and time
Heady wine for thirsty souls like yours and mine
We come together like the sea and the sand
In a very private wonderland
Alone at last you and I

Wave goodbye to the crowded nights
City lights we left behind
We love the dreams we shared
And dared to live the dream

The sea in her serenity
Silently cast a spell on you and me
We share each other while the sun's goin' down
Not another soul around
Alone at last
Alone at last you and I

We share each other while the sun's goin' down
Not another soul around
Alone at last
Alone at last you and I

Alone At A Table For Two


Alone At A Table For Two
Composer(s): Billy Hill - Ted Fiorito - Daniel Richman
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians



Usual time, the usual place, the usual orchids and wine

Alone at a table for two
Alone in our own rendezvous
The music is playing
Your favourite request
But I hear a blue note
The band must have guessed
Why I'm alone at a table for two
Pretending I am waiting for you
And even the flowers at your place have withered
They know that we're through
I'm alone at a table for two

With A Song In My Heart


With A Song In My Heart
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Doris Day & Harry James; and various other artists



With a song in my heart, I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start but it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells, I'm touching your hand
It tells me you're standing near, and

At the sound of your voice, heaven opens its portals to me
Can I help but rejoice that a song such as ours came to be
But I always knew I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you

But I always knew I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you

Alone Again Tonight


Alone Again Tonight
Performer(s): Saga



I've been waiting here so long
For someone I can talk to
Coz I know where we went wrong
But it's really not the time or place
To talk about the problems
Now I've got you face to face
I'll tell you what I'm thinking of
Imagine how my heart feels
Now I know I'm still in love
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
Please don't look away
I've tried to say I'm sorry
For the things I never said
We can talk about who's to blame
But it really doesn't matter
I'm so tired of playing games
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight

With A Smile And A Song


With A Smile And A Song
Composer(s): Frank Churchill; Larry Morey
Performer(s): Adriana Caselotti;
and various other artists



With a smile and a song
Life is just a bright sunny day
Your cares fade away
And your heart is young
With a smile and a song
All the world seems to waken anew
Rejoicing with you
As the song is sung
There's no use in grumbling
When the raindrops come tumbling
Remember, you're the one
Who can fill the world with sunshine
When you smile and you sing
Everything is in tune and it's spring
And life flows along
With a smile and a song

Alone (Tommy Dorsey)


Alone
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown - Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey



Alone
Alone with a sky of romance above
Alone
Alone on a night that was meant for love

There must be someone waiting
Who feels the way I do
Whoever you are, are you, are you...

Alone
Alone on this night that we two could share
Alone
Alone with your kiss that could make me care

And when you come I'll promise to be your very own

Alone
Alone with a heart meant for you
Alone

Alone (Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons)


Alone
Composer(s): Morty Craft - S. Craft
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons



Alone, why must I be alone
I've spent so many hours with you
How can I be alone

Alone, why must I dream alone
Our dreams where made for us to share
How can I dream alone

There's such a thing as forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
Can't you forgive and forget

Apart, why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone

There's such a thing as forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
Can't you forgive and forget

Apart, why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone

With A Little Help From My Friends


With A Little Help From My Friends
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles



What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody, I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody, I want somebody to love

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends

Alone (i-TEN)


Alone
Composer(s): Tom Kelly - Billy Steinberg
First release by: i-TEN - 1983
Covered by multiple other artists



I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted to touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

Alone, alone

With A Little Bit Of Luck


With A Little Bit Of Luck (Dutch Version: As 'T Efkes Kan, Ja Dan) Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe Performer(s): Stanley Holloway, Gordon Dilworth, Rod McLennan
and multiple other artists



The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
So he could do his job and never shirk
The Lord above gave man an arm of iron
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
Someone else will do the blinkin' work
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you'll never work)

The Lord above made liquor for temptation
To see if man could turn away from sin
The Lord above made liquor for temptation
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
When temptation comes you'll give right in
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you'll give right in)

Oh you can walk the straight and narrow
But with a little bit of luck you'll run amok

The gentle sex was made for man t'marry
To share his nest and see his food is cooked
The gentle sex was made for man t'marry
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
You can have it all and not get hooked
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you won't get hooked)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)

The Lord above made man to help his neighbor
No matter where on land or sea or foam
The Lord above made man to help his neighbor
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
When he comes around you won't be home!!
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck you won't be home)

They're always throwing goodness at you
But, with a little bit of luck a man can duck

Oh it's a crime for man to go philanderin'
And fill his wife's poor heart with grief and doubt
Oh it's a crime for man to go philanderin'
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
You can see the bloodhound don't find out
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck she won't find out)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)

A man was made to help support his children
Which is the right and proper thing to do
A man was made to help support his children
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
They'll go out and start supporting you
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck they'll work for you)

(He doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket)
(The poorest bloke you'll ever hope to meet)
(He doesn't have a tuppence in his pocket)
(But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck)
(He'll be movin' up to Easy Street)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of luck I'm movin' up)
(With a little bit, with a little bit)
(With a little bit of bloomin' luck)

Alone (Bee Gees)


Alone
Performer(s): Bee Gees



I was a midnight rider on a cloud of smoke
I could make a woman hang on every single stroke
I was an iron man
I had a master plan
But I was alone

I could hear you breathing
With a sigh of the wind
I remember how your body started trembling
Oh, what a night it's been
And for the state I'm in
I'm still alone

And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Somehow I always end up alone
Always end up alone

So I play, I'll wait
'Cause you know that love takes time
We came so far
Just the beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone

Well, since I got no message on your answer phone
And since you're busy every minute.
I just stay at home
I make believe you care
I feel you everywhere
But I'm still alone

I'm on a wheel of fortune with a twist of fate
'Cause I know it isn't heaven, is it love or hate
Am I the subject of the pain
An I the stranger in the rain
I am alone

And if there glory there to behold
Maybe it's my imagination
Another story there to be told

So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone

And all the wonders made for the Earth
And all the hearts in all creation
Another story there to be told

So I play, I'll wait
And I pray it's not too late
We came so far
Just a beat of a lonely heart
And it's mine
I don't want to be alone

Gone, but not out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home
Face the heat of the night
The one that you love's got a heart that's made of stone

Shine and search for the light
And sooner or later you'll be cruising on your ocean

And clean out of sight
I'm caught in the rain and there's no one home

With A Gun


With A Gun
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan



I could be wrong but I have seen your face before
You were the man that I saw running from his door
You owed him money but you gave him something more
With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?

You were the founders of the clinic on the hill
Until he caught you with your fingers in the till
He slapped your hand so you settled up your bill

With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?

When you’re born to play the fool
And you’ve seen all the western movies
Woe to the one who does you wrong
You hide in the bushes
Murder the man
With luger in hand

I understood that you will soon be leavin’ town
Don’t try to call me when they finally run you down
Just give fair warning any time you come around

With a gun
With a gun
You will be what you are just the same
Did you pay the other man with the piece in your hand
And leave him lying in the rain?

I want to spend my life with a girl like you, ba ba ba ba
And do all the things that you want me to, ba ba ba ba

So before this dance has reached the end, ba ba ba ba
To you across the floor my love I'll send, ba ba ba ba
I just hope and pray that I'll find a way to say
Can I dance with you, ba ba ba ba

Aloha Oe
((Adapted from: Aloha Oe (by Royal Hawaiian Troubadours) - 1905))
Composer(s): Queen Liliuokalani
Performer(s): Elvis Presley - 1961



Proudly swept the rain cloud by the cliffs
As on it glided through the trees
Still following ever the "liko"
The "Ahihi lehua" of the vale...

Farewell to thee
Farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwellst among the bow'rs
One fond embrace
Before I now depart
Until we meet again

Thus sweet memories come back to me
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own
From thee, true love shall ne'er depart

I have seen and watched thy loveliness
Thous sweet Rose of Maunawili
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip the honey from thy lips

Proudly swept the rain cloud by the cliffs
As on it glided through the trees
Still following ever the "liko"
The "Ahihi lehua" of the vale...

Farewell to thee
Farewell to thee
Thou charming one who dwellst among the bow'rs
One fond embrace
Before I now depart
Until we meet again

Thus sweet memories come back to me
Bringing fresh remembrance of the past
Dearest one, yes, thou art mine own
From thee, true love shall ne'er depart

I have seen and watched thy loveliness
Thous sweet Rose of Maunawili
And 'tis there the birds oft love to dwell
And sip the honey from thy lips

Witchy Woman


Witchy Woman
Composer(s): Bernie Leadon; Don Henley
Performer(s): The Eagles



Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
She's a restless spriit on an endless flight
Woo-hoo witchy woman, see how high she flies
Woo-hoo witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes
She held me spellbound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
You know she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Ah
I know you want to love her, but let me tell you brother
She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
There's some rumors going round
Someone's underground
She can rock you in the night until your skin turns red
