Milk Train


Milk Train
Composer(s): Tony Romeo
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



There was a morning train used to come on through
When this sleepy town was alive
And ev'ry Sunday we would come and see
Some mighty fancy people arrive
Ooohh, they arrived aboard the milk train
(La-la-la-la-la-la la)

There was a well dressed lady from the city
Used to always give me her smile
And she looked so fine, she was sweet and kind
She let me get to know her a while
Ooohh, for a little while
Back when the milk train used to rumble my shack
Used to stop outside o' my door
But now the milk train doesn't stop by here anymore
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

Now I still live in that railroad shack
And I wander down that rusty old track
Like a lonely old-timer out of my mind
Lookin' for that lady who was sweet and kind to me
Back when the milk train used to rumble my shack
Used to stop outside o' my door
But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

Now the only thing to come on through
Is a Jimmy-John now and then
And I dream of the day she'll come back this way
And let me get to know her again
Ooohh, like way back when
When the milk train used to rumble my shack
Used to stop outside o' my door
But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)

Ooohh, milk train used to rumble my shack
Used to stop outside o' my door
But now the milk train doesn't come by here anymore
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Ooohh, milk train ...

Our Heartbreaking Waltz


Our Heartbreaking Waltz
Composer(s): Sidney Prosen
Performer(s): Teresa Brewer



The dance that we started
So gay and light hearted
Brought tears when we parted
Our heartbreaking waltz

The dream I still borrow
Will haunt me tomorrow
I'll hear it in sorrow
Our heartbreaking waltz

I knew you could never
Be mine then forever
Another had claimed you
To her you'd be true

That moment so fleeting
When two hearts stop beating
Repeating, repeating
Our heartbreaking waltz

I knew you could never
Be mine then forever
Another had claimed you
To her you'd be true

That moment so fleeting
When two hearts stop beating
Repeating, repeating
Our heartbreaking waltz

Miles In Memories


Miles In Memories
Composer(s): Carl Story; Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Yes I’ve got lots of miles, but lots of memories
And I wouldn’t set the miles back if I could
'Cause when ever I get blue
I know exactly what to do
Just re-travel all those miles in memories

You say that all those miles are showing on me
Well I’ll admit I had some rough ones way back when
But for every mile there holds a story left untold
Back there in my book of memories

'Cause I’ve got lots of miles and lots of memories
And I wouldn’t set the miles back if I could
'Cause when ever I get blue
I know exactly what to do
Just re-travel all those miles in memories

Now as faces and places come before me
Making up my full book of memories
And I wouldn’t ever dare
One page to solitaire
I might want to review them all someday

Yes I’ve got lots of miles, but lots of memories
And I wouldn’t set the miles back if I could
'Cause when ever I get blue
I know exactly what to do
Just re-travel all those miles in memories

Our Guessing Game


Our Guessing Game
Composer(s): Ray Thomas
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



Walking in the sand
Thinking of things, adventures in my mind
Of tall ships that sail
Across the oceans wide
They won't wait for me
See how they glide away so gracefully
And, with tomorrow, what will become of me?

They leave me so much to explain
That's the start of our guessing game

There are times when I think I've found the truth
There are times when I know that I'm wrong
There are days when I try to hide my fears
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong

Wonder why we try so hard?
Wonder why we try at all?
You wonder why the world is turning around
In the end it won't matter at all

There are times when I think I've found the truth
There are times when I know that I'm wrong
There are days when I try to hide my fears
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong

Standing in the town
Looking at people counting their frowns
Unhappy faces hurrying around
So blind they cannot see
All of the things
The way life ought to be
And, with tomorrow, what will they make of me?

It leaves me so much to explain
That's the start of our guessing game

There are times when I think I've found the truth
There are times when I know that I'm wrong
There are days when I try to hide my fears
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong

There are times when I think I've found the truth
There are times when I know that I'm wrong
There are days when I try to hide my fears
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong

There are times when I think I've found the truth
There are times when I know that I'm wrong
There are days when I try to hide my fears
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong

Miles Away


Miles Away
Performer(s): Colin Blunstone



If I could reach you
You know I would
If I knew the way
The right things to say

If I could touch you
I wish I could
If I only knew where
You know I'd be there

Miles away
You're so many miles away
Living my lonely life
To live another day (without you)

Miles away
You're so many miles away from me
And I can't find you
All those miles (away)

If I could hold time
In the palm of my hand
I'd not let it through
I'd save it for you

If I had one wish
At my command
I'd want it to be
You wishing for me

Miles away
You're so many miles away
Living my lonely life
To live another day (without you)

Miles away
You're so many miles away from me
And I can't find you
All those miles away

Miles away from me

Our Delaware


Our Delaware
Composer(s): George B. Hynson;
Donn Devine; Will M.S. Brown



Oh the hills of dear New Castle
and the smiling vales between
When the corn is all in tassel
And the meadowlands are green
Where the cattle crop the clover
And its breath is in the air
While the sun is shining over
Our beloved Delaware

Oh our Delaware!
Our beloved Delaware!
For the sun is shining over
our beloved Delaware
Oh our Delaware
Our beloved Delaware!
Heres the loyal son that pledges
Faith to good old Delaware

Where the wheat fields break and billow
In the peaceful land of Kent
Where the toiler seeks his pillow
With the blessings of content
Where the bloom that tints the peaches
Cheeks of merry maidens share
And the woodland chorus preaches
A rejoiceing Delaware

Dear old Sussex visions linger
Of the holly and the pine
Of Henlopens Jeweled finger
Flashing out across the brine
Of the gardens and the hedges
And the welcome waiting there
For the loyal son that pledges
Faith to good old Delaware

From New Castle's rolling meadows
Through the fair rich fields of Kent
To the Sussex shores hear echoes
Of the pledge we now present
Liberty and Independence
We will guard with loyal care
And hold fast to freedom's presence
In our home state Delaware

Miles And Miles Of Texas


Miles And Miles Of Texas
Composer(s): Tommy Camfield; Diane Johnston
Performer(s): Asleep At The Wheel;
5 Guys Named Moe; Bart Trotter



I was born in Louisiana down on the old bayou
Raised on shrimp and catfish and Mammy's good gumbo
I got that ramblin fever said goodbye to ma and pa
I crossed the old Red River
I saw miles and miles of Texas
I'm gonna live there 'til I die
I saw miles and miles of Texas
I'm gonna live there 'til I die

I rode up in to Cowtown the cradle of the west
Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best
I met a Texas beauty got friendly with her pa
I looked into her big blue eyes
I saw miles and miles of Texas
I'm gonna live there 'til I die
I saw miles and miles of Texas
I'm gonna live there 'til I die

I started taming broncos I made every rodeo
Until I met a rough one his name was Devil Joe
I grabbed on to his bridle to ride the old outlaw
He threw me from the saddle I saw miles and miles of Texas
I'm gonna live there 'til I die
I saw miles and miles of Texas
I'm gonna live there 'til I die

I'm gonna live there 'til I die

Our Day Will Come


Our Day Will Come
Composer(s): Mort Garson; Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Ruby & The Romantics;
and various other artists



Our day will come
And we'll have everything
We'll share the joy
Falling in love can bring

No one can tell me
That I'm too young to know (young to know)
I love you so (love you so)
And you love me

Our day will come
If we just wait a while
No tears for us
Think love and wear a smile

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come
(Our day will come; our day will come)

Our dreams have magic
Because we'll always stay
In love this way
Our day will come
Our day will come

Milagre Do Povo


Milagre Do Povo
Composer(s): Caetano Veloso
Performer(s): Caetano Veloso;
Gal Costa; Daniela Mercury



Quem é ateu
E viu milagres como eu
Sabe que os Deuses sem Deus
Não cessam de brotar
Nem cansam de esperar
E o coração
Que é soberano e que é senhor
Não cabe na escravidão
Não cabe no seu não
Não cabe em si de tanto sim
É pura dança e sexo e glória
E paira para além da história
Ojú Obá ia lá e via
Ojú Obá ia
Xangô manda chamar
Obatalá guia
Mamãe Oxum chora
Lágrima alegria
Pétala de Iemanjá
Lansã Oiá ria
Ojú Obá ia lá e via
Ojú Obá ia
Obá
É no xaréu
Que brilha prata luz do céu
E o povo negro entendeu
Que o grande vencedor
Se ergue além da dor
Tudo chegou
Sobrevivente num navio
Quem descobriu o Brasil
Foi o negro quem viu
A crueldade bem de frente
E ainda produziu milagres
De fé no estremo ocidente

Our Baby's Gone


Our Baby's Gone
Composer(s): Herb Pedersen
Performer(s): Herb Pedersen; Desert Rose Band



I put our little baby to bed last night
She was sleeping real good and I tucked her in tight
I looked at her once then I looked at her twice
Her little legs are longer and I'm runnin' out of time
The boys are gonna chase her I'll be standing in line
Our baby's gone

Up at 7:30 she comes into our room
She wants to make her breakfast but she can't find her spoon
We wake up and try to shake the sandman out of our eyes
She's already got her clothes on much to our surprise
She did it all herself and we realize
Our baby's gone

Three years old and she's queen of the world
Humpty Dumpty's falling down
Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border
Oh, mama what do we do now

Playing outside her little face to the wind
The hours go by her strength is wearin' thin
She doesn't call for daddy she's a big girl now
Her mama looks in wonder and she don't know how
How our baby girl escaped us no more cuddlin' now
Our baby's gone

Three years old and she's queen of the world
Humpty Dumpty's falling down
Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border
Oh, mama what do we do now
Our baby's gone
Our baby's gone

Mil Perdões


Mil Perdões
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and various other artists



Te perdôo
Por fazeres mil perguntas
Que em vidas que andam juntas
Ninguém faz
Te perdôo
Por pedires perdão
Por me amares demais

Te perdôo
Te perdôo por ligares
Pra todos os lugares
De onde eu vim
Te perdôo
Por ergueres a mão
Por bateres em mim

Te perdôo
Quando anseio pelo instante de sair
E rodar exuberante
E me perder de ti
Te perdôo
Por quereres me ver
Aprendendo a mentir (te mentir, te mentir)

Te perdôo
Por contares minhas horas
Nas minhas demoras por aí
Te perdôo
Te perdôo porque choras
Quando eu choro de rir
Te perdôo
Por te trair

Oui, La Mer A Bercé Tant D'Amour Dans Le Creux De Ses Vagues Le Temps D'Un Été


Oui, La Mer A Bercé Tant D'Amour Dans Le Creux De Ses Vagues Le Temps D'Un Été
Dans Le Creux De Ses Vagues Le Temps D'Un Été
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Tu t'en vas ma pauvre amourette
Tu t'en vas, ne s'aimait-on pas?

{Refrain:}
Car la mer a bercé tant d'amour
Dans le creux de ses vagues
Le temps d'un été
Mais l'été en partant a laissé sur le sable mouillé
Tant de rêves oubliés

Un bout de ciel et un coin de dune
Un goût de sel sur ta peau brune
Et l'été qui nous ensorcelle
En été, méfie toi la belle
{au Refrain}

On cueille l'été à fleur d'insouciance
Jamais l'été au chagrin ne pense
Mais tu pleureras petite fleur des plages
Quand l'été chantera sur notre rivage
{au Refrain}

Car la mer a bercé tant d'amour
Dans le creux de ses vagues
Le temps d'un été
Mais l'été en partant a laissé sur le sable mouillé
Tant de rêves oubliés

La la la la la la la la

Mil Etter Mil


Mil Etter Mil
Composer(s): Eide
First performance by: Jahn Teigen - 1978



Hvil deg nå, du er sliten
Hvil din kropp før din kraft ebber ut
Vann pipler inn i dine sko
Du vandrer i regnet

Mil etter mil etter mil
etter mil etter mil etter mil

Søk mot meg, hvis du lengter
Rett ditt sinn mot et annet sted
Kom hit hvor jeg er, hvor solen er nær
Du må ikke gå

Mil etter mil etter mil
etter mil etter mil etter mil

Og det er langt å gå
Det er lengselen som driver deg
Mot et lys som du kan se men ikke jeg
Tenk deg om nå
Hvor farer du hen
Du har vandret alt for lenge

Mil etter mil etter mil
etter mil etter mil etter mil

Tenk deg om nå
Hvor farer du hen
Du har vandret alt for lenge

Mil etter mil etter mil
etter mil etter mil etter mil
etter mil etter mil etter mil
etter mil etter mil etter mil

Mil Abrazos


Mil Abrazos
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez;
Los Leones del Norte; Sunny & the Sunliners



Que ya te vas
que nunca más queres volver a verme
que ya te vas
que yo en la vida no te traje suerte

Que fui muy cruel
que nunca supe del amor tranquilo
que sólo fui
la parte mala de tu buen camino

Que van a hacerte una gran despedida
que van a darte mil abrazos
que yo no debo estar presente
para no recordarte tus fracasos

Que ya te vas
que no merezco ni tu adiós ni nada
que seas feliz
y a ver si encuentras lo que yo te daba

Oui Mais La Nuit


Oui Mais La Nuit
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



J'ai tant cherché de choses vaines
Que je n'ai rien trouvé de bon
J'ai tant voulu sonder mes peines
Que je n'ai pu toucher le fond
En liant des bouquets de rêves
J'ai laisser ma vie ce faner
Le monde entier forme des rêves
Sans y trouver de vérité

Mais la nuit, mais la nuit
Mais la nuit est faite pour l'amour
Mais la nuit, mais la nuit
Mais la nuit est faite pour l'amour
Le jour est fait pour travailler
Se fatiguer se surmener le jour
Mais la nuit, mais la nuit
Est faite pour l'amour

J'ai vécu pour celui que j'aime
Sans me soucier de l'avenir
Donnant le meilleur de moi-même
Ne recueillant que souvenirs
J'ai tendu les mains vers les anges
Qui dans les coeurs mettent le ciel
Parfois trop bleu, souvent étrange
Baisers de fleurs, lèvres de miel

Mais la nuit, mais la nuit
Mais la nuit est faite pour l'amour
Mais la nuit, mais la nuit
Mais la nuit est faite pour l'amour
Le jour est fait pour travailler
Se fatiguer se surmener le jour
Mais la nuit, mais la nuit
Est faite pour rêver d'amour

Mijn Schoolgaande Jeugd


Mijn Schoolgaande Jeugd
Performer(s): Raymond Van Het Groenewoud



Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd
Oh heerlijke tijd was dat
Ah, het deed m'n verstand zoveel deugd
Dat ik mij wou verzuipen in bad
Al die vriend'like meesters
De zon op het plein
De leerlingen met bruine boekentas
Ach hoe licht was m'n hart in die tijd
Hoezeer kon ik iedereen haten
Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd
Dan schiet de weemoed mij in het hart

Ach hoe leerzaam was heel die tijd
Ik zou niet weten wat
Tenzij die enorme rottrap van de leraar tekenen
Die mij nooit tekenen gaf
En de proppen die ik mocht rapen van 't plein
Als ik dan ook
Een klein kwartiertje vrij had
En de ferme greep van de prefect
Waarbij de botten kraakten
Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd
Dan schiet ontroering mij in het hart

Daar gaat de bel van ringelingeling
'k Wou dat ik de lucht inging rijen rijen twee aan twee
Best van al gedwee
Binnenstromen in de muf
Muffe klas alwaar ik suf
Zure zweters, dat doet deugd
't Lot van onze jeugd

Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd
De glimlacht op het gelaat
De selectie wie deugt en niet deugt
De ouders vertdrietig en kwaad
Ah, wij hebben geen kind om trots op te zijn
De kennissen : o wee, hun vragen doen pijn
Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd
Dan zg ik tegen m'n peuters
"Als ik denk aan m'n schoolgaande jeugd
Dan schiet de vreugde mij in het hart"...

Oughta Be A Law


Oughta Be A Law
Composer(s): Dann Penn; Gary Nicholson
Performer(s): Lee Roy Parnell; Bruce Channel



Oughta be a law
Oughta be a law ya'll
Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

There oughta be a law
Oughta be a law ya'll
Yes, oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

The way she moves is a moving violation
It just ain't right what she's doing to me
She walked by and stole my attention
You know it makes me want to lock the girl up
And throw away the key

There oughta be a law
Oughta be a law ya'll
Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

Driving home she turned me around
I had to make the block come back and check it out again
Blood red dress and dangerous curves
When she flashed her smile at me it threw me into a spin

Oughta be a law
Oughta be a law ya'll
Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

She's stopping traffic up and down the street
Making a wreck of every man she meets
Somebody ought to go call the police
She's disturbing the peace

Oughta be a law
oughta be a law ya'll
Yes, oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

She ought to get a citation
For all the excitation
Go before the judge and jury
For causing such a fury

There ought to be some kind of law ya'll
There ought to be some kind of law ya'll

Oublie Loulou


Oublie Loulou
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour; Pierre Roche
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



J'étais amoureux fou
D'une demoiselle Loulou
C'était une obsession
J'en perdais la raison
Je n'avais plus d'appétit
Je ne dormais plus la nuit
Et tous mes amis
Me disait ceci:

Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Si tu ne le veux pas
Tu ne le peux pas
Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!
Si tu le veux
Tu le peux
C'est un jeux
Et voilà ah!
Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc
A quoi bon t'en faire de la bile
Ne fait donc pas l'imbécile
Mon ami, je te dis
C'est la vie
Mais oublie mais oublie-la

Je vivais un cauchemar
J'en avais le cafard
Effroyables moments
Ou je claquais des dents
Et tout autour de moi
Je croyais entendre des voix
Ces voix jour et nuit
Me disais ceci:

Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Si tu ne le veux pas
Tu ne le peux pas
Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!
Si tu le veux
Tu le peux
C'est un jeux
Et voilà ah!
Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Et en parcourant la ville
J'ai trouvé une autre idylle
Qui m'a dit: "Mon ami
C'est la vie
Mais oublie, mais oublie-la"

Oublie oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie-la donc
Oublie, oublie Loulou
Mais oublie, mais oublie Loulou
Oublie la-donc
Si tu ne le veux pas
Tu ne le peux pas
Tu ne le pourras pas ah! ah!
Si tu le veux

C'est un jeux

Mijn Oma


Mijn Oma
Composer(s): Benatar; Boduin
Performer(s): Ann Christy



Het was een heel groot huis, voornaam
Een oude dame voor het raam
Zulke mensen zie je vandaag niet meer
En ze was de laatste, 't was m'n oma

Ik zie je nog wuiven en er kwamen duiven
Vlak langs je raam, ze kwamen om eten
Ik hoor je nog roepen, 'k viel van alle stoepen
Dat je al zo oud was kon ik niet weten

Er is een tijd van komen en gaan
Dat zei je altijd
Maar ik kon niet weten dat alles zo heel snel gaat

Er lagen altijd snoepjes klaar
Je droeg zo'n oude kam in 't haar
En je vond de sprookjes zelf uit voor mij
'k Wist niet beter, dat ging nooit voorbij, oma

Hoe je zat te wachten, alleen met je gedachten
Beelden van vroeger of nog van heden
Kleine witte handen die nergens meer belangden
Dan in je schoot, dat zachte verleden

Hoe zou ik worden als het mijn beurt is
Zou ik zo mooi zijn
Maar 'k kan het niet geloven dat alles zo snel gaat

Ik zie je nog wuiven en er kwamen duiven
Vlak langs je raam, ze kwamen om eten
Ik hoor je nog roepen, 'k viel van alle stoepen
Dat je al zo oud was kon ik niet weten

Er is een tijd van komen en gaan
Dat zei je altijd
Maar ik kon niet weten dat alles zo heel snel gaat

Het was een heel groot huis, voornaam
