Let The Little Girl Dance
Let The Little Girl Dance
Composer(s): Henry Glover - Carl Spencer
Performer(s): Billy Bland; Ernest Tubb; Jackie Robinson
(Little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself)
(Never had the nerve to take a chance, so let the little girl dance)
Let the little girl dance, let the little girl dance
She never danced before so let her on the floor (so let her on the floor)
Let the little girl dance, let the little girl dance
She wants to give it a try, so let the little girl by (so let the little girl by)
She's been a little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself
Now she got the nerve to take a chance, so let the little girl dance
Let the little girl through, she wants to pass by you
Buddy, can't you see she wants to dance with me (she wants to dance with me)
She's been a little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself
Now she got the nerve to take a chance, so let the little girl dance
Let the little girl through, she wants to pass by you
Buddy, can't you see she wants to dance with me (she wants to dance with me)
(Little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself)
(Never had the nerve to take a chance)
Let the little girl dance (let the little girl dance)

From This Day On
From This Day On
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Fiona:
Dinna ye know, Tommy, that ye're all I'm livin' for?
So how can ye go, Tommy, when I'll need ye more an' more?
Tommy:
No, Fiona
You won't remember that way
And neither will I
You and the world we knew will glow, till my life is through
For you're part of me from this day on
And someday if I should love, it's you I'll be dreaming of
For you're all I'll see from this day on
These hurried hours were all the life we could share
Still, I will go with not a tear, just a prayer
That when we are far apart, you'll find something from your heart
Has gone! Gone with me from this day on
You see? We mustn't be sorry about anything
Fiona:
I'm not
In fact, I shouldna be surprised if I'll be less lonely now than I was afore ye came
I think real loneliness is no' bein' in love in vain
but no' bein' in love at all
Tommy:
But it'll fade in time
Fiona:
No
It winna do that
Through all the years to come, an' through all the tears to come
I know I'll be yours from this day on

Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins; Clayton Perkins; Mike Ness
Oh, let that jukebox keep on playin'
Let that record roll around
Let my baby keep on sayin'
She's a lonesome gal in town
Let her know that I'll be waitin'
When my lonely days are through
Let the jukebox keep on playin'
Till I'm holdin' you
Oh, let those honky-tonkin' angels be the girls I never loved
Let 'em know its you I'm cravin' it's you I'm dreamin' of
Let 'em know that I'll be waitin' when my lonely days are through
Let the jukebox keep on playin' till I'm holdin' you

She's a lonesome gal in town
Let her know that I'll be waitin'
When my lonely days are through
Let the jukebox keep on playin'

Waitin' For My Dearie
Waitin' For My Dearie
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Fiona:
Many a lassie as ev'ryone knows'll
Try to be married before twenty-five
So she'll agree to most any proposal
All he mus' be is a man, an' alive
I hold a dream an' there's no compromisin'
I know there's one certain laddie for me
One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon
But should he not, then an old maid I'll be
Foolish, ye may say
Foolish I will stay
Waitin' for my dearie, an' happy am I
to hold my heart till he comes strollin' by
When he comes, my dearie, one look an' I'll know
That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so
Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by
For ye see, I believe
That there's a laddie weary, and wanderin' free
Who's waitin' for his dearie
Me!
1st Girl:
What do ye do while ye're waitin' around
For your lad to come your way?
Fiona:
Well, when no one is lookin', ye kneel on the ground
An' ye pray an' pray an' pray!
2nd Girl:
But when lassies sit an' have no men
Oh, how long becomes the night
Fiona:
But I fear the night is longer when the lad's no' right
Waitin' for my dearie is sweeter to me
Than wooin' any laddie on the lea
Girls:
Dreamin' of your dearie, an' idlin' the day
Fiona:
That's how I am an' how I'll ever stay
Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by
For ye see, I believe
Fiona And Girls:
That there's a laddie weary, an' wanderin' free
who's waitin' for his dearie
Fiona:
Me!

I can hear the guitars start to play
And very soon they say
I was a fool to turn my love away
And with each glass of wine I feel a glow
And very soon I know
I was a fool to let my baby go
So let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
Tears won't help anymore
Yes let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
Now she's gone
I can't hold back the tears anymore
I can see the couples dancin' through the night
They hold each other tight
As they dance in love till the morning light
The soft embraces that they seem to share
Just make me feel aware
Of the lonliness I find so hard to bear
So let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
My tears won't help anymore
Yes let the heartaches, heartaches begin
I just can't help it,you know that I just can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
And now that she's gone
I can't hold back the tears anymore

Se C'è L'amore
Se C'è L'amore
((Adapted from: Let The Heartaches Begin (by Long John Baldry) - 1967))

Composer(s): Tony Macaulay - John Macleod - Franco Migliacci
Performer(s): Patty Pravo - 1968
Anche il tempo inesorabile
rallenta il battito
quando l'amore mi fa piangere
e il vento di una sera tiepida
diventa gelido
quando l'amore mi fa piangere
Perché se c'è l'amore
c'è una lacrima di più
io non so vivere senza te... non so
ma quando c'è l'amore
c'è una mano che ti può
accarezzare e poi stringere
forte forte il cuor... questo cuor
Non credo a quelli che si lasciano
e che non piangono
vuol dire che non si amavano
se senza te non era vivere
potrei morire se
sapessi che c'è un'altra accanto a te
Perché se c'è l'amore
c'è una lacrima di più
io non so vivere senza te... non so
ma quando c'è l'amore
c'è una mano che ti può
accarezzare e poi stringere
forte forte il cuor... questo cuor

Once in the Highlands, the Highlands of Scotland
Deep in the night on a murky brae
There in the Highlands, the Highlands of Scotland

To two weary hunters who lost their way
Chorus:
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
Blooming under sable skies
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
There my heart forever lies
Let the world grow cold around us
Let the heavens cry above!
Brigadoon, Brigadoon
In thy valley, there'll be love!

Brief Candles
Brief Candles
Composer(s): Chris White
Performer(s): The Zombies; The Posies
There she sits her hands are held
Tight around her glass
She only needs to be alone
She knows this mood will pass
To realize that she was strong
And he too weak to stay
And to realize that she is better off this way
Brief candles in her mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where she can see
What makes it all worthwhile
Her sadness makes her smile...
His alone girl fades away
Left out on a limb
Finds he needs her more because
She's no more need for him
He understood so very well
The things she had to say
Soon he'll understand that he is better off this way
Brief candles in his mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile
His sadness makes him smile...
In the corner see his face
The man just sips his drink
Not one feeling does he show
Far too numb to think
He does not say a single word
No word of love to say
Maybe he will soon believe he's better off this way...
Brief candles in his mind
Bright and tiny gems of memory
Brief candles burn so fine
Leaves a light inside where he can see
What makes it all worthwhile
His sadness makes him smile...

Bridget O'Malley
Bridget O'Malley
(Traditional)
Oh Bridget O'Malley, you've left my heart shaken
With a hopeless desolation I'd have you to know
It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken
And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go
The white moon above the pale sands, the pale stars above the thorn tree
Are cold beside my darling, but no purer than she
I gaze upon the cold moon till the stars drown in the warm seas
And the bright eyes of my darling are never on me
My Sunday it is weary, my Sunday it is grey now
My heart is a cold thing, my heart is a stone
All joy is dead within me, my life has gone away now
For another has taken My love for his own
The day is approaching when we were to be married
And it's rather I would die than live only to grieve
Oh, meet me, My Darling, e'er the sun sets o'er the barley
And I'll meet you there on the road to Drumslieve
Oh Bridget O'Malley, you have my heart shaken
With a hopeless desolation, I'd have you to know
It's the wonders of admiration your quiet face has taken
And your beauty will haunt me wherever I go

Bridget Flynn
Bridget Flynn
Composer(s): Will Millar
Performer(s): The Irish Rovers
I've a nice little house and a cow or two with grass
I've a plant garden running by my door
I've a shelter for the hens and a stable for the ass
Now what could a man want more?
I don't know, maybe so
But a bachelor's life is easy and it's free
I'm the last to complain, but I'm living all alone
Sure nobody's looking after me
Me father often tells me I should go and have a try
To find a girl that owns a bit of land
And I know the way he says it, there is someone on his mind
And my mother has the whole thing planned
I don't know, maybe so
It would mollify them so to agree
Now there's little Bridget Flynn, sure its her I'd like to win
But she never has an eye for me
Now there's a little girl who is worth her weight in gold
And that's a decent dowry, don't you see
And I mean to go and ask her just as soon as I get home
If she'll come and have an eye for me
Will she go, I don't know
But I'd love to have her sitting on my knee
And I'd sing like a thrush in the hawthorn bush
If she'd come and have an eye for me

Let The Feeling Flow
Let The Feeling Flow
Composer(s): Peabo Bryson
Performer(s): Peabo Bryson; Kelli Sae; Matt Jordan
Falling in love, it was easy at the start
I thought I had it in my hands
Something went wrong, somewhere we lost a part
It was more than we could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized
That I couldn't see the forest for the trees
What was wrong with me
There comes a time in every life
Love will come your way
And if it should stay
You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go, not love
It's a shining star that's here to guide you
Every lover knows
You've got to hold on to the good inside you
Let the feeling flow
And I'm sure love will grow
Falling in love, was so easy at the start
I thought I had it here in my hands, here in my hands
Something went wrong, somewhere I lost a part
More than I could stand, yeah
It was too late when I realized
That I couldn't see the forest for the trees
Something's wrong with me (Here with me)
There comes a time in every life
Love will come your way
And if it should stay
You'd better hold on to it tight
And never let it go (Let the feeling flow), not love
It's a shining star that's here to guide you (Every lover)
Every lover knows
You've got to hold on (Hold on) to the feeling inside you (Feeling inside you)
Let the feeling flow
And I'm sure love will grow
Yeah, yeah
Let the feeling flow (Hold on)
Let it flow (Whoa...oh...oh...)
Let it flow (Yeah)
You've got, got to let (Feeling inside you)
Let it flow

When you're weary, feeling small

And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the streets
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness falls
And pain is all around
Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will easy your mind
