Falling In Love With Love


Falling In Love With Love
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Frances Langford;
and various other artists



Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe
Falling in love with love is playing the fool
Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy
Learning to trust is just for children in school

I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
But love fell out with me

Oh, I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full
I was unwise with eyes unable to see
I fell in love with love, with love everlasting
But love fell out with me

Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful


Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Julie Andrews & Jon Cypher
and multiple other artists



Prince:
Do I love you because you're beautiful, or are you beautiful because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you a girl too lovely to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

Cinderella:
Am I making believe I see in you a man too perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful, or are you wonderful because I want you?

Both: Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream or are you really as wonderful as you seem?

Piep-piep-hallo, piep-piep-hallo, Calimero
Piep-piep-hoi, piep-piep-hoi, Calimero
Piep-piep-nou, piep-piep-nou, Calimero
Op zijn koppie staat een eierdop
O-hoi-o-hoi-o-hoi

Calimero is een heel lief kuikentje
(Calimero: "ja, dat is ik ook!")
Hij vindt alles leuk en goed
Er steekt geen kwaad in hij doet!

Piep-piep-hoi, piep-piep-hoi, Calimero
Piep-piep-ja, piep-piep-ja, Calimero
Piep-piep-nou, piep-piep-nou, Calimero
Op zijn koppie staat een eierdop

Hoor is hoe ik dingen kan, Calimero
Papa houdt er niet zo van, Calimero
Maar ik vind het toch zo fijn, Calimero
Mama zegt waarom m'n kind
Het is goed om blij te zijn

Piep-piep-hoi, piep-piep-hoi, Calimero
Piep-piep-ja, piep-piep-ja, Calimero
Piep-piep-nou, piep-piep-nou, Calimero

Piep-piep-nou, piep-piep-nou, Calimero
Op zijn koppie staat hij een eierdop

Ik zou zo graag iets groter zijn, Calimero
en meedoen aan een zangfestijn, Calimero
Maar dat lukt nog niet zo gauw, Calimero
Papa zegt je droomt te veel
En dat vind ik flauw
Calimero is een heel lief kuikentje
(Calimero: "En zo hoort het ook!")
Hij vindt alles leuk en goed
Er steekt geen kwaad in hij doet!

Piep-piep-hallo, piep-piep-hallo, Calimero

Falling In Love Again


Falling In Love Again Adapted from: Ich Bin Von Kopf Bis Fuß Auf Liebe Eingestellt - 1929/1930 Composer(s): Friedrich Holländer; Sammy Lerner Performer(s): Marlene Dietrich - 1930 Covered by multiple other artists



Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it as I may
I was born that way
Can't help it

Men flock around me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame

Falling in love again
Never wanted to
What am I to do?
Can't help it

Love's always been my game
Play it as I may
I was born that way
Can't help it

Men flock around me
Like moths around a flame
And if their wings burn
I know I'm not to blame

California, Here I Come


California, Here I Come Composer(s): Al Jolson - Bud De Sylva - Joseph Meyer First recording/First release by: Al Jolson - 1924 Covered by multiple other artists



When the wintry winds are blowing and the snow is starting in to fall
then my eyes turn west-ward
knowing that's the place I love the best of all
California , I've been blue, since I've been away from you
I can't wait 'til I get going
Even now I'm starting in to call
Oh...

California, here I come right back where I started from
Where Bowers of flowers bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning, birdies sing an' everything
A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late" that's why I can hardly wait
Open up that Golden Gate
California here I come

Any one who likes to wander ought to keep this saying in his mind
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" of the good old place you leave behind
When you've hit the train awhile, seems you rarely see a smile
that's why I must fly out yonder, where a frown is mighty hard to find!
Oh....

California, here I come right back where I started from
Where Bowers of flowers bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning, birdies sing an' everything
A sunkist miss said, "Don't be late" that's why I can hardly wait
Open up that Golden Gate
California here I come

The Actor


The Actor
Composer(s): Justin Hayward
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



The curtain rises on the scene
With someone shouting to be free
The play unfolds before my eyes
There stands the actor who is me

The sleeping hours takes us far
From traffic, telephones and fear
Put out your problems with the cat
Escape until a bell you hear

Our reasons are the same
But there's no-one we can blame
For there's nowhere we need go
And the only truth we know comes so easily

The sound I have heard in your hello
Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
Ah, ah, ah

It's such a rainy afternoon
No point in going anywhere
The sounds just drift across my room
I wish this feeling I could share

It's such a rainy afternoon
She sits and gazes from her window
Her mind tries to recall his face
The feeling deep inside her grows

Our reasons are the same
But there's no-one we can blame
For there's nowhere we need go
And the only truth we know comes so easily

The sound I have heard in your hello
Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
The sound I have heard in your hello
Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see
Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me
Ah, ah, ah

California Sun


California Sun Composer(s): Henry Glover - Morris Levy First release by: Joe Jones - 1961 Covered by multiple other artists



Well, I’m going out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long
Where they walk and I’ll walk
They twist and I’ll twist
They shimmy and I’ll shimmy
They fly and I’ll fly
Well they’re out there having fun
In that warm California sun

Well, I’m going out west out on the coast
Where the California girls are really the most
Where they walk and I’ll walk
They twist and I’ll twist
They shimmy and I’ll shimmy
They fly and I’ll fly
Well they’re out there having fun
In that warm California sun

Well the girls are frisky in old ‘Frisco
A pretty little chick wherever you go
A-a-and they’ll walk and I’ll walk
They’ll twist and I’ll twist
They’ll shimmy and I’ll shimmy
They’ll fly and I’ll fly
Well they’re out there having fun
In that warm California sun

Yeah they’re out there having fun
In that warm California sun

Falling In And Out Of Love


Falling In And Out Of Love
Composer(s): Craig Fuller
Performer(s): Pure Prairie League



More than what I feel...
Touchin' what is real...
All our thoughts are reelin' round...
Carolina's feelin' down...
To-day
Falling in and out of love with you...
Falling in and out of love with you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I keep falling in and out of love with you

I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think
Or let you see one thing for your self
But now your off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own
Well I guess I was wrong

Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Don't you think the time is right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time
And can't you see, which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see what's right or what is wrong
(And you take to long to tell me)

Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do

Now it's come to what you want you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see, That I don't know if its you or if its me
If its one of us I'm sure we'll both will see
So take a good long look and tell me...

Amie what you wanna do, I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer if I do (Longer if I do) (Repeat)
I'd just keep...
Falling in and out of love with you
Falling in and out of love with you
Don't know what I'm gonna do, I keep
Falling in and out of love, with you

Accrington Pals


Accrington Pals
Composer(s): Mike Harding
Performer(s): Mike Harding



Smoky town where they were born
Down in the valley, smoky little streets
They were pals from childhood days
Climbing trees and running through the fields
And they all played together through the turning of the years
Sharing their laughter, sharing all their fears
The Seasons saw them growing and
Seasons passing turned them round
With the changing, changing, changing years
Accrington Pals

Schooldays' end, the lads all went
To work, some spinning, some weaving in the sheds
On the land or down the pit
Working hard to earn their daily bread.
And they all went walking up old Pendle Hill
On Sundays the larks sang high above the dales
Little Willie Riley played his mandolin and sang
They were laughing, they were smilingsinging then
Accrington Pals

1916, came the call
"We need more lads to battle with the Hun
Lads of Lancashire, heed the call
With God on our side, the battle will soon be won"
So they all came marching to the beating of the drums
Down from the fields and factories they come
Smiling at the girls who
Came to see them on their way
They were marching, marching, marching away
Accrington Pals

Blue sky shining on a perfect day
A lark was singing, high above the Somme
Brothers, pals and fathers lay
Watching that sweet bird sing in the quiet of the dawn
And they all went walking out towards the howling guns
Talking and laughing, calmly walking on
Believing in the lies that
Left them dying in the mud
And they're lying, lying, lying still
Accrington Pals

Smoky town which heard the news
Down in the valley, smoky little streets
Houses quiet and curtains drawn
All round the town a silent shroud of grief
And the larks were singing still above old Pendle Hill
The wind was in the bracken and the sun was shining still
A lark was singing sweetly as
The evening fell upon the Somme...

For Edward Parkinson, Bobby Henderson, Willie Clegg,
Johnny Molloy, Norman Jones, Albert Berry, Willie Riley
The Accrington Pals

California Soul


California Soul Composer(s): Nickolas Ashford - Valerie Simpson Performer(s): The 5th Dimension and multiple other artists



Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you can't forget
From sundown to sunset
It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It's gonna get a hold on your
It's California soul, California soul

They say the sun comes up every morning
And if you listen carefully
The winds that ride on the high time
Whistle in melody
And so the people started to sing
And that's how the surf gave birth untold
It's California soul, California soul

When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And you've got to move cause
It's really such a groove
Puts a brand new thing in your mind
And you can't go wrong
Cause you're happy all day long
It's California soul, California soul

They had the melody and the beat
But it still doesn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissin
They knew just what was missin
So happy they were rockin and reelin
Because that added that lovin feeling
To California soul, California soul
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear

Falling Down


Falling Down
Composer(s): Joe Walsh
Performer(s): Joe Walsh



Making no deposit, no return
Making the same mistakes, we never learn
All of the pain in those faces
Trying not to show concern

Spent and broken
Like a worn out subway
Talking in the city

Hanging in the closet, wait in line
When you go by the laws, you pay the fine
I'm burning the candle at both ends
Twice the light in half the time

Damn the calling
Feel like I'm falling
Ooh, and as the rain doesn't have to hurry in the city

The 3:10 To Yuma


The 3:10 To Yuma
Composer(s): George Duning - Ned Washington
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
and multiple other artists



There is a lonely train called the 3.10 to Yuma
The pounding of the wheels is more like a mournful sigh
There's a legend and there's a rumour
When you take the 3.10 to Yuma
You can see the ghosts of outlaws go ridin' by (Ridin' by)
In the sky (In the sky), way up high
The buzzards keep circlin' the train
While below the cattle are thirstin' for rain

It's also true they say on the 3.10 to Yuma
A man may meet his fate
For fate travels ev'rywhere
Though you've got no reason to go there
And there ain't a soul that you know there
When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain
Take that train (Take that train)
Take that train

So when you take the train called the 3.10 to Yuma
And leave the things you love
You leave with a silent prayer (Silent prayer)
Though you've got no reason to go there
And there ain't a soul that you know there
When the 3.10 to Yuma whistles its sad refrain
Take that train
Take that train

Falling Apart At The Seams


Falling Apart At The Seams
Composer(s): Tony Macaulay
Performer(s): Marmalade; Junior Campbell



Until you came, it felt like my world
Was fallin' apart at the seams
All of my childhood dreams were empty and meaningless
Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
Was turnin' my hopes into sand
Ah, I was a yesterday man until I found you

It was as plain as the nose on my face
That I was heading nowhere
Then into my life came an angel of grace
Sunlight in her hair
Now love is the strangest emotion
Cause just when
I want you to stay
Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
Don't turn me away

(Chorus)

Oooh...

I'm like a man in a mantle of black
Who just saw the light.
Who cast off the shadow when you gave him back
The meaning to life
Now love is the strangest emotion
Cause just when I want you to stay
Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
I want you to stay

(Chorus)

1913 Massacre


1913 Massacre
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
First recording by: Woody Guthrie - 1945
Covered by multiple other artists



Take a trip with me in nineteen thirteen
To Calumet, Michigan, in the copper country
I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall
Where the miners are having their big Christmas ball

I'll take you through a door, and up a high stairs
Singing and dancing is heard everywhere
I will let you shake hands with the people you see
And watch the kids dance round that big Christmas tree

You ask about work and you ask about pay
They'll tell you that they make less than a dollar a day
Working the copper claims, risking their lives
So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives

There's talking and laughing and songs in the air
And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere
Before you know it, you're friends with us all
And you're dancing around and around in the hall

Well, a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights
To play the piano, so you gotta keep quiet
To hear all this fun you would not realize
That the copper-boss thug-men are milling outside

The copper-boss thugs stuck their heads in the door
One of them yelled and he screamed, "There's a fire!"
A lady, she hollered, "There's no such a thing!
Keep on with your party, there's no such a thing"

A few people rushed, and it was only a few
"It's only the thugs and the scabs fooling you"
A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down
But the thugs held the door and he could not get out

And then others followed, a hundred or more
But most everybody remained on the floor
The gun-thugs they laughed at their murderous joke
While the children were smothered on the stair by the door

Such a terrible sight I never did see
We carried our children back up to their tree
The scabs outside still laughed at their spree
And the children that died there were seventy-three

The piano played a slow funeral tune
And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon
The parents they cried and the miners they moaned
"See what your greed for money has done"

California Revisited


California Revisited
Composer(s): Dan Peek
Performer(s): America



Heaven may be an answer
If you're lookin' for Eden in the sky
On your waters I see a strange reflection
Rumor has it I'll see you when I die

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

In California you watch the shadow dancer
Floating gently, gently on the sea
In California you're such a strange romancer
Come and see me when the world has set you free

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

Everyone I meet is from California
There's dancin' in the streets in California

Falling (Roy Orbison)


Falling
Composer(s): Roy Orbison
Performer(s): Roy Orbison



I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love with you

Baby come closer, closer to me
And listen, listen so carefully
Remember all the nights that I told you
I loved you

It wasn't true, I used you, and you were
Just someone new
To thrill this lonely heart of mine
I was lying all the time

Pretending to be falling in love with you
But it's different now, I've kissed you now
So forgive me, forgive me somehow
Hold me tight for tonight, and tell me true
If you still love me
Say that you love me
Don't leave me now
Now that I'm falling for you

I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love
Falling in love with you
