Letting Go
Letting Go
Composer(s): Doug Crider - Matt Rollings
Performer(s): Suzy Bogguss
She'll take the painting in the hallway
The one she did in junior high
And that old lamp up in the attic
She'll need some light to study by
She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway
Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go
Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too
She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway
Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go
Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting
It's never easy letting go

Browning
Browning
Composer(s): Raymond Asso; Jean Villard
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Y avait qu'à r'garder sa figure
Et tout de suite on comprenait
Monsieur Browning, qu'on l'appelait
Un nom qui sentait l'aventure
C'était le roi du revolver
Il en avait de magnifiques
Qu'il avait ram'nés d'Amérique
Où qu'on fabriqu' les vrais gangsters
Il nous racontait son histoire
Son premier crim' et puis la gloire
Browning, Browning
Il nous montrait des tas d'photos
Pris's en premièr' pag' des journaux
Browning, Browning
Il nous disait: "Vous autr's en France
Vous manquez encor' d'expérience"
Browning, Browning
Avec ça, pas besoin d'êtr' fort
C'est l'maladroit qu'a toujours tort
Et viv' Browning
Parc' qu'il avait de l'élégance
Et des costum's de cinéma
Il nous r'gardait de haut en bas
Avec mépris et insolence
Et tout's nos femm's, ell's l'admiraient
"Ah! comment c'est qu'il a d'allure
Et ce typ' là, quelle envergure"
Mais nous, les homm's, il nous courait
C'était toujours la mêm' histoire
Son premier crim' et puis la gloire
Browning, Browning
On l'voyait sur les grands journaux
Juste à côté d'Greta Garbo
Browning, Browning
A l'écouter, on d'venait bête
On n'avait plus qu'ça dans la tête
Browning, Browning
Et nous pensions "Marre à la fin!
Il nous ennuie, l'Américain
Et son Browning"
Pour nous apprendr' la vraie manière
Pour nous donner un' bonn' leçon
Il a tenu, ce brav' garçon
A nous montrer son savoir-faire
C'est dans un' sall' de restaurant
Qu'il a voulu fair' l'expérience
Mais le pauvr' typ' n'a pas eu d'chance
Comme il sortait ses instruments
Il a roulé sous la banquette
Avec un p'tit trou dans la tête
Browning, Browning
Oh ça n'a pas claqué bien fort
Mais tout de mêm', il en est mort
Browning, Browning
Et puis quelqu'un dans le silence
A dit "Maint'nant à quoi qu'tu penses
Browning, Browning?"
Il pens' plus rien puisqu'il est mort
Tu parlais trop... ben t'as eu tort
Bye-Bye, Browning

Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists
I just got your letter dearest sweetheart
And darlin’, I miss you, oh, so much
Your letter has cheered me but I’m lonesome
Lonesome just to feel you lovin’ touch
Letters have no arms to hold me
Kiss on paper are so cold
These sweet things that you write in your letters
I want to be with you dear when told
Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet lovin’ charms
I get so lonesome for you darlin’
And you know that Letters Have No Arms
Letters have no arms to hold me
Kiss on paper are so cold
These sweet things that you write in your letters
I want to be with you dear when told
Letters never bring me the touch of your hand
Or none of your sweet lovin’ charms
I get so lonesome for you darlin’
And you know that Letters Have No Arms

Brown Eyed Handsome Man
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Originally performed by: Chuck Berry
Covered by various other artists
Arrested on charges of unemployment
he was sitting in the witness stand
The judge's wife called up the district attorney
Said you free that brown eyed man
You want your job you better free that brown eyed man
Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay
To get a brown eyed handsome man
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history three thousand years
Back every since the world began
There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
For a brown eyed handsome man
That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man
Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself
A brown eyed handsome man
That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
To get brown eyed handsome man
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man
Two, three count with nobody on
He hit a high fly into the stand
Rounding third he was headed for home
It was a brown eyed handsome man
That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man

Letter B
Composer(s): Christopher Cerf
Performer(s): The Sesame Street Beetles
When I find I can't remember
What comes after
"A" and before "C"
My mother always whispers
"Letter B"
She told me "B" starts
"Big" and "bird" and
"Ball" and "bat" and "battery"
Yes, buh-buh-buh-buh-buh means
Letter B
Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
She whispers "Buh-buh-buh means Letter B"
And when I feel downhearted
Mother whispers
"B" words constantly
Like "bib," "Bob," "Bulb," and "bubble"
Letter B
Now in my hour of darkness
There's a sound I know will comfort me
It's the buh-buh-buh-buh-buh of
Letter B
Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
My mother whispers "B" words
Letter B
Letter B, letter B, letter B, letter B
My mother whispers "B" words

Everything to keep me from sleeping
A lot of sailor boys they were leaving
And everybody there was jumping
To hear the sailor boys in Alcora singing

I'm going away in a sailing boat
And if I don't come back
Stay home and mind baby
Now the Americans made an invasion
We thought it was a help to the island
Until they left from here on vacation
They left the native boy here to mind their children
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby ....
Now I tell you the story bout Millie
She made a nice blue eyed baby
And they say she fancy the mother
But the blue eyed baby ain't know she father
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby ....
Now the Americans all have their pleasure
While the music play to their leisure
Everybody there they were jumping
To hear the sailor boys in Alcora singing
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
Brown skin girl stay home and mind baby
I'm going away in a sailing boat
And if I don't get back

Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Laying in the green grass
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

Performer(s): Doris Day & Johnnie Ray

Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(JR)
Notice that we’re coming to the crossroads
Should we turn to left or right?
(DD) Mother is a-rockin’ and a-waitin’
But it’s such a lovely night
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(JR)
Well, don’t you think the valley road is shorter?
We could save about a mile
(DD)
And now and then the short road can be longer
If you linger for a while
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(JR)
Can’t you see the night is just beginning
And the moonlight weaves a spell
(DD) We can take the road among the daisies
You know daisies never tell
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(JR)
I got an awful lot of tender words to whisper
Little ol’ words like “I love you”
(DD) Everything you say is so convincing
Yes, that’s what we ought to do
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home

Leads to home

Let’s Wait A Little Longer
Composer(s): Curly Putman - Billy Sherrill
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn
and multiple other artists
I can see you're not happy the way you've been acting
And I think you'd like to be free
I know he's a good man but I know that you can be a whole lot happier with me
In your eyes there's a yearning and inside you're a burnin'
And I'd like to put out the flame
So let's get together like birds of a feather and we let the love take the blame
But right now I don't think that I can leave him
For lately he's been so good to me
And there might be once more chance that things might work out
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see
But wait I can make you forget him cause I'll take you
To places that you've never been
We'll make all the night spots the dim and the bright spots
And then we'll forget where we've been
We'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches
and swing from Maine to Mexico
If you'll come along we can make life a song
and you won't be tied down anymore
But still I don't think that I can leave him
For lately he's been so good to me
And there might be once more chance that things might work out
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see
Yes let's wait a little longer then we'll see

Baby now to rest will go
Hush thee, hush thee

Tired blue eyes
Will gently close
Sleepy now the baby grows
Hush thee, hush thee
Sleep in sweet repose
