Goodnight, My Someone
Goodnight, My Someone
Composer(s): Meredith Willson
Performer(s): Shirley Jones;
and various other artists
Goodnight, my someone, goodnight, my love
Sleep tight, my someone, sleep tight, my love
Our star is shining its brightest light
For goodnight, my love, for goodnight
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
True love can be whispered from heart to heart
When lovers are parted they say
But I must depend on a wish and a star
As long as my heart doesn't know who you are
Sweet dreams be yours, dear, if dreams there be
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me
I wish they may and I wish they might
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight
Goodnight! Goodnight!

Tony e Laura si amavano
e lui voleva dare a lei
oltre l'amore
le cose che
la vita aveva negato a lui
Con la chitarra e con il suo amor
una canzone le dedico
in un teatro si presento
la loro storia
a tutti voi canto
dite a Laura che l'amo
e che devo partire
ma sei mi aspetterà
quel giorno sarà
per sempre mia
E la fortuna sorrise a lui
gente applausi chilometri
ma la fatica non sentiva mai
perché pensava sempre a lei
Ma una notte correndo da lei
ad una curva il destino lo fermo
e quando lo trovarono
lui mormoro fino all'ultimo cosi
dite a Laura che l'amo
non le dite che soffro
stasera tarderò
ma appena potrò ritornerò
Ora Laura e sola
ma non lo può dimenticar
la sua voce e ancora la
e con quel disco
lui sempre le dirà
tell Laura i love her
tell Laura i need her
tell Laura not to cry
my love for her
will never die!
tell Laura i love her
tell Laura i need her
tell Laura not to cry
my love for her
will never die!
Dite a Laura che l'amo
Non le dite che soffro
Ma se mi aspetterà
Quel giorno sarà
Per sempre mia?

My Home's In Alabama
My Home's In Alabama
Composer(s): Theodore Gentry; Randy Owen
Performer(s): Alabama
Drinkin' was forbidden in my Christian country home
I learned to play the flattop on them good ol' Gospel songs
Then I heard about the barrooms just across the Georgia line
Where a boy could make a livin' playin' guitar late at night
Had to learn about the ladies; too young to understand
why the young girls fall in love with the boys in the band
When the boys turn to music, the girls just turn away
to some other guitar picker in some other late night place
Yeah, I held on to my music; I let the ladies walk away
took my songs and dreams to Nashville and then on to L.A.
Up to New York City, all across the USA
I lost so much of me but there's enough of me to say (that my)
..home's in Alabama, no matter where I lay my head
My home's in Alabama, Southern born and Southern bred
What keeps me goin'? I don't really know
can't be the money the Lord knows I'm always broke
could it be the satisfaction of bein' understood
when the people really love ya and let you know when it's good
Well I'll speak my Southern English just as natural as I please
I'm in the heart of Dixie, Dixie's in the heart of me

My Home Town
My Home Town
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
I really have a yen to go back once again
Back to that place where noone wears a frown
To see once more those super special folks in my home town
No feller could ignore the little next door
she sure looked sweet in here first evening gown
Now there's a charge for what she used to give for free in my home town
I remember Dan the druggist on the corner
he was never mean or ornery he was swell
He killed his mother in law and ground her up real well
And sprinkled just a little bit over each banana split
The guy that taught us math and never took a bath
acquired a certain measure of renown
And after school he sold the most amazing pictures in my home town
The fellow was no fool who taught our Sunday school
and neither was our kindly Parson Brown
I guess I'd better leave the next line out just to be safe in my home town
I remember Sam he was the village idiot
and though it seemed a pity it was so
He loved to burn down house just to see the glow
And nothing could be done because he was the mayor's son
That guy who took a knife and monogrammed his wife
and dropped her in the pond and watched her down
Oh yes indeed those people there are just plain folks in my home town

Laura ja Ilmari styylas
ja Ilmari lahjoitti Lauralleen
kukkaa, sukkaa, vaan rahnat ei riittäneet sormukseen!
Hän oli lähdössä viis satasten
hän tiesi: tonnin saa voittaja sen
ja varikolta soitti hän Lauralleen
ja toisti tunteensa uudelleen ja uudelleen
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan
niin kauheesti kaipaan!
Jos tänään en voitakaan
niin huomenna taas sun olla saan!"
Hän johti kierroksen ensimmäisen
hän oli nuorin kai kilpailun sen
Vain ohimennen vilkaisi katsomoon päin
ja koneen hallinnan menetti hän yllättäin!
Ei kukaan nähnyt, miten tapahtui tuo
Pian paarit kannettiin Ilmarin luo
Vain hetken hän oli vielä tajuissaan
mut ohut kuiskaus kuului vielä huuliltaan
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan
niin kauheesti kaipaan!
Ei kuole mun rakkautein
ei milloinkaan - et surra saa!"
Jäi Laura istumaan kappeliin
silmät peittyivät kyyneliin...
Hän muiti Ilmarin lupauksen
vain kappelin seinät kuiskas hiljasen
"Oi Laura, sua kaipaan
niin kauheesti kaipaan!
Ei kuole mun rakkautein
ei milloinkaan - et surra saa!"

My Home Town (Paul Anka)
My Home Town
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka
I took a little trip to my hometown
I only stopped to look around
And as I walked along the thorough-fare
There was music playing everywhere
The music came from within my heart
How did it happen how did it start
I only know that I fell in love
I guess the answer lies up above
Oh what a feeling
My heart was reeling
The bells were ringing
The birds were singing
And so the music keep goes on and on
And through the night until the break of dawn
I hear a bird up in the tree
He sings a pretty little melody
Oh what a feeling
My heart was reeling
The bells were ringing
The birds were singing
And so the music keep goes on and on
And through the night until the break of dawn
I hear a bird up in the tree
He sings a pretty little melody

Composer(s): Harry Revel; Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Shirley Temple & Alice Faye;
and various other artists
Shirley:
Goodnight, my love
Your Mommy is kneeling beside you
Goodnight, my love
To dreamland the Sandman will guide you
Come now you sleepy head
Close your eyes, go to bed
My precious sleepy head
You mustn't play peek-a-boo
Goodnight, my love
Your little Dutch dolly is yawning
Goodnight my love
Your teddy bear's called it a day
Your dog is fast asleep, my but he's smart
Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love
God bless you, pleasant dreams sweetheart
Alice:
Goodnight, my love
The tired old moon is descending
Goodnight, my love
My moment with you now is ending
It was so heavenly, holding you close to me
It will be heavenly
To hold you again in a dream
The stars above
Have promised to meet us tomorrow
Till then my love
How dreary the new day will seem
So for the present, dear, we'll have to part
Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love
Remember that your mine, sweetheart

Viens, mon ami le geôlier
À toi, je vais tout raconter
Demain très tôt, au petit jour
J'aurai mon tour, j'aurai mon tour
Et je dirai adieu à la vie
Pour lui payer bien des folies
Si par hasard tu la vois
Va saluer Laura pour moi
Dis-lui que je l'aime
D'un amour trop grand pour son coeur
Et que je pars sans un pleur
Dis-lui tout cela, dis-le-lui pour moi
Laura bravait le monde entier
Pour ses désirs d'enfant gâtée
Ses yeux, son corps au long des jours
Chantaient l'amour, chantaient l'amour
Je l'ai tenue dans mes bras, serrée
Pour la garder j'ai tout renié
Et quand Laura m'a trahi
Notre roman s'est mal fini
Dis-lui que je l'aime
D'un amour plus fort que la mort
Et pour chasser ses remords
Dis-lui tout cela
Dis-le-lui pour moi
Pour moi, Laura était trop jolie
Un soir, j'ai tué par jalousie
Et je pourrais, sans regret
Pour un baiser, recommencer
Dis-lui que je l'aime
Qu'il lui faut oublier mon nom
Et m'accorder son pardon
Dis-lui tout cela, dis-le-lui pour moi

My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys
Composer(s): Sharon Rice; Sharon Vaughn
Performer(s): Willie Nelson
and various other artists
I grew up a dreaming of being a cowboy
And loving the cowboy ways
Pursuing the life of my high-riding heroes
I burned up my childhood days
I learned all the rules of the modern day drifter
Dontcha hold on to nothing too long
Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them
With the words of a sad country song
My heroes have always been cowboys
They still are it seems
Sadly in search of and one step in back of
Themselves and their slow-moging dreams
Cowboys are special, with their own brand of misery
From being alone too long
To die from the cold in the arms of a nightmare
Knowing well that your best days are gone
And picking up hookers instead of my pen
I let the words of my youth fade away
Old worn out saddles, and old worn out memories
With no one, and no place to stay
My heroes have always been cowboys
They still are it seems
Sadly in search of and one step in back of
Themselves and their slow-moging dreams

Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, Wherever You Are
Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, Wherever You Are
Composer(s): E.Y. "Yip" Harburg
Performer(s): Sammy Fain
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are
Are you waving at me from your favourite star
The star that you wished on when once we were young
For dreams to be dreams and songs to be sung
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, I blow you a kiss
Till we meet and we laugh and perhaps reminisce
And finally, I’m sure that we will know the mystery of
The unfinished song that will go on
As long as there’s love
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, I blow you a kiss
Till we meet and we laugh and perhaps reminisce
Then finally, I’m sure that we will know the mystery of
The dreams and the song that will go on
As long as there’s love

L'amour parfois se flétrit et s'endort
Mais de ses cendres peut renaître encore
Un bonheur oublié qu'il tenait tant à lui donner
Sur sa guitare, il a composé
Une chanson où il lui disait
Son espoir de la retrouver
Et cette histoire, à tous, il l'a chantée
Dites-lui que je l'aime
Mais que je dois partir
Un jour, je reviendrai
Et ce jour, je pourrai encore l'aimer
Depuis ce jour, la chance lui sourit
De par le monde, chacun l'applaudit
Mais dans sa vie, plus rien ne comptait
Car c'est toujours à elle qu'il pensait
Roulant trop vite vers elle, dans la nuit
Dans un tournant, le destin le surprit
Et quand à l'aube on le retrouva
Jusqu'au dernier mot, à tous, il murmura
Dites-lui que je l'aime
Cachez-lui que je souffre
Un jour, je reviendrai
Et ce jour, je pourrai encore l'aimer
Aujourd'hui, elle est seule
Mais elle ne peut l'oublier
Car sa voix est toujours là
Et, par ce disque, toujours il lui dira
Dites-lui que je l'aime
Mais que je dois partir
Un jour, je reviendrai
Et ce jour, je pourrai
Encore l'aimer
Dites-lui que je l'aime...

You city of a million melodies
Our hearts are thrilling to the strains that you play
From dawn till the daylight dies

The world is waiting on the edge of the day
Just waiting to say goodnight

Performer(s): Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons
You're crying now just like I used to cry before (rain, rain, rain)
Turn off the tears, girl
I don't care any more
You can save all your lies, 'cause I've heard them all before
Tell it to the rain
And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of
And that I'm your only love
Tell it to the rain
I gave you love, girl, and got nothing in return
How does it feel to feel what I had to learn?
Baby, don't say you're sorry, 'cause I'm just not concerned
Tell it to the rain
And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of
And that I'm your only love
Tell it to the rain
Tell it to the rain
And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of
Oh, forget it, love
Tell it to the rain
Tell it to the rain
And the stars that shine above
That it's me you're thinking of
And that I'm your only love
Tell it to the rain

Goodnight Saigon
Goodnight Saigon
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel; Michael Cavanaugh
We met as soul mates
On Parris Island
We left as inmates
From an asylum
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho
To lay down our lives
We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight
We had no home front
We had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy
They gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ
With all our might
We had no cameras
To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe
And played our Doors tapes
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held on to each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Remember Charlie
Remember Baker
They left their childhood
On every acre
And who was wrong?
And who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight
We held the day
In the palm
Of our hand
They ruled the night
And the night
Seemed to last as long as six weeks
On Parris Island
We held the coastline
They held the highlands
And they were sharp
As sharp as knives
They heard the hum of our motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together

Over the hill and everywhere

Let my people go
Must be the people that Moses led
Let my people go
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hill and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born
Who's that yonder dressed in black
Let my people go
Must be the hypocrites turning back
Let my people go
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hill and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born
