Yellow Roses


Yellow Roses
Composer(s): Ken Devine; Sam Nichols
First release by: Hank Snow - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists



I just received, sweetheart, your yellow roses
You tell me, dear, they mean that we're all through
You tell me that tonight your heart is broken
But you should know, I was never untrue

I'll place them near your photograph
And as the petals fall
They'll hide from you my lonely tears
That shouldn't fall at all

Then they will slowly fade away and die
But I'll still love you
Though yellow roses say "Goodbye"

Je Suis Une Chanson


Je Suis Une Chanson
((Adapted from: Ridin' Free, Livin' Lonely (Harris Chalkitis))
Composer(s): Harris Chalkitis - Boris Bergman
Performer(s): Danièle Vidal - 1973



Je suis une chanson qui traine
Depuis quelques 1000 ans déjà
Mais je peux encore dire je t'aime
À qui me prendra dans ses bras

Chante, chante, chante, chante, chante-moi
Chante, chante, chante alors je suis à toi
Chante, chante, chante, chante, chante-moi
Chante, chante, chante alors je suis à toi

Je suis une chanson qui passe
Au dessus des hommes et du temps
Et si de moi nul ne se lasse
C'est que j'ai toujours eu 20 ans

Chante, chante, chante, chante, chante-moi
Chante, chante, chante alors je suis à toi
Chante, chante, chante, chante, chante-moi
Chante, chante, chante alors je suis à toi

Je suis une chanson qui traine
Depuis quelques mille ans déjà
Mais je peux encore dire je t'aime
A qui me prendra dans ses bras

Chante, chante, chante, chante, chante-moi
Chante, chante, chante alors je suis à toi
Chante, chante, chante, chante, chante-moi
Chante, chante, chante alors je suis à toi

Je suis une chanson qui traine
De ville en ville depuis longtemps
Le docteur de toutes les peines
Des hommes depuis 5000 ans

La la la la la la la la...

If I Could Turn Back Time


If I Could Turn Back Time
Composer(s): Diane Warren
Performer(s): Cher



If I could turn back time
If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay

I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes

I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

If I could turn back time

My world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
You walked out that door I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there

Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and ooh...

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

Ooohh

If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
ooh baby

I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry
Ooohh

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

If I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way (find a way)
Then baby, maybe, maybe

You'd stay
Reach the stars
If I could reach the stars

Alone (Why Must I Be Alone)


Alone (Why Must I Be Alone)
Composer(s): Morty Craft - Selma Craft
Performer(s): The Four Seasons
and multiple other artists



Alone, why must I be alone
I've spent so many hours with you
How can I be alone
Alone, why must I dream alone
Our dreams where made for us to share
How can I dream alone
There's such a thing as forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
Can't you forgive and forget
Apart, why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone
There's such a thing as forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a
thing as forgetting
Can't you forgive and forget
Apart, why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone

If I Could Teach My Chihuahua To Sing


If I Could Teach My Chihuahua To Sing
Composer(s): Joe Ely; Kimmie Rhodes; Gabe Rhodes
Performer(s): Joe Ely



O weary me
I'm broke as a man can be
My bills are all due, I got holes in my shoe
Bill collectors, they won't let me sleep

If I could teach my chihuahua to sing
I could make cash registers ring
What a sight to behold her, she could sit on my shoulder
And whimper in harmony

If I could teach my chihuahua to sing
What a wonderful world it would be
I could take her to the border and teach her how to order
Margaritas and fajitas Senoritas would bring

The circus is coming to town
The telephone lines are down
While the tight rope they're stretchin', my puppy is fetchin'
The tin cans all scattered around

If I could teach my chihuahua to sing
The whole world would live in peace
Instead of them fightin', everyone would be writin'
Love letters to Senators and Police

If I could teach my chihuahua to sing
What a brave new world it would be
I could take her to China, on a big jet airliner
And bark in the park 'till the freedom bells ring

If I could teach my chihuahua to sing
There'd be no more sorrow and grief
I could take her to the border and teach her how to order
Guacamole and posole, and feel holy and free!

Keep It Under Your Hat


Keep It Under Your Hat
From "Calamity Jane"
Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Allyn McLerie; Susannah Fellows



Well, now, if you've got a cutie who's a real sweet patootie
better keep it under your hat
Just remember curiousity in fables of old
Killed the curious cat

Supposin' you love a laddie who's a sweet sugar daddy
Better take in the welcoming mat
Remember there's a dozen dolls for every Dan
You're not the only sweet pea in the can

So, if you wanna know the way to keep your man
Keep it under your hat
Keep it under your hat!

If you wanna know the way to keep your man
Keep it under your hat
Keep it under your hat!

Keep it under your hat!

I Know Now


I Know Now
Composer(s): Al Dubin - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo



I know now, you're the only one
I know now, I'm the lonely one
I had to learn how a heart can yearn
How tears can burn, with on one to turn to
I know now, that I can't forget
I can't for I don't know how
I guess I never knew how I needed you
But sweetheart, I know now

If I Could Talk To The Animals


If I Could Talk To The Animals
From "Dr. Dolittle"
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse



If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah
What a neat achievement that would be

If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Maybe take an animal degree
We'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle
Alligator, guinea pig, and flea

We would converse in polar bear and python
And we could curse in fluent kangaroo
If people asked us, can you speak in rhinoceros
We'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?"

If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Think of all the things we could discuss
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to us

Keep It Warm


Keep It Warm
Composer(s): Howard Kaylan; Mark Volman
Performer(s): The Turtles



Write another song for the money
Something they can sing, not so funny
Money in the bank to keep us warm

Stick another grape in the juicer
Or fill your guts with grease and get get looser
You are what you eat, so eat it warm

Roll another joint for the Gipper
Get the Gipper high, he gets hipper
Stick it in his mouth and keep him warm

Elect another jerk to the White House
Gracie Slick is losing her door mouse
Take her off the streets and keep her warm

Fight another war if they make you
Squeal on a friend or they'll take you
The future's in your lap, so keep it warm...

Warm, here in your arms
Safe from all harm, where I belong
Warm, cozy and calm, another
Dawn together warm....

My woodie's broken down by the beach now
And TM's gotten far out of reach now
Tell the Mahareesh to keep it warm

George is suing Paul, suing Ringo
and immigration wants John and Yoko
All they need is love, to keep them warm

Kill another whale with your power
Or shoot a bunch a kids from a tower
Snipe them in there cars
Blood keeps them warm

Or

Make a better world from the old one
Make yourself a baby and hold one
Hold her in your arms and keep her warm
Keep her warm,
Keep her warm
Keep her warm...........

I'd Like You For Christmas


I'd Like You For Christmas
Composer(s): Bobby Troup
Performer(s): Julie London
and multiple other artists



I'd like you for Christmas
Please make my wish come true
Cos I'd trim trees and deck the hallways
If I know you'd be mine for always
I won't be blue on Christmas
If old Saint Nick comes through
And he remembers that I'd like you for Christmas
New Years, Easter, too...

If I Could Talk To Love


If I Could Talk To Love
Composer(s): Myrna Smith; Carl Wilson
Performer(s): Carl Wilson



(Have it your way)
We toy with love but we play the futile game
One heart giving all and the other feeling pain
I put myself into you hands-oo
From this moment on I make no demands
And if one could talk to love, I`d say
Have it your way love, have it your way

What us the sense in giving all you feel
If with it all you can`t make love know it`s real
Will love forever run from me-oo
If it`s to be, then it`s to be
But if I could talk to love, I`d say
Have it your way love, have it your way

Your way
I put myself into your hands
So have it your way love, have it your way
Oh--love--have it your way
It will happen--some what may
Love have it your way
There`s no other way to play
Love have it your way

Keep Me Cryin'


Keep Me Cryin'
Composer(s): Al Green; Willie Mitchell
Performer(s): Al Green



You keep me crying all the time
I have to say that you
Keep me crying all the time

Well, I tried to play my music
But my music was too loud
Well, I pleased all the people
But I couldn`t please the crowd

And I dropped down on my knees
And said, hey, mama
Won`t you clear my head
Don`t you know they
Keep me crying all the time

They keep me crying all the time
Oh, Lord, don`t you know they
They keep me moaning all the time
They keep me burning all the time

Well, I tried
To run my business
But they said I can`t
Just keep it to myself
Not bothering any man

Just as sure as I try
Cause my tears in my eye
Don`t you know they
Keep me crying all the time

They keep me crying all the time
Friends knocking on my door
They keep me crying
Somebody calling on the phone and
They keep me crying...

It's A Breeze


It's A Breeze
Composer(s): Joe Kentridge
Performer(s): Matt Monro



When you hear a band that's swinging
Or you dig Sinatra singing
When the duke is highland flinging
It's a breeze

If you're in the opera set
Go to first nights at the Met
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
It's a breeze

When you're in a jet high flying
Or you've backed a horse that's trying
If the fish you've caught is frying
It's a breeze

When you've slammed a hole in one
Bagged a tiger with your gun
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
It's a breeze

A trip to Europe on the liner France
A holiday
Another new romance
But
If it's love you've really craving
With a home a hearth a haven
Then it's time you started saving
It's a breeze

When the jackpot you have hit
And you tell your boss I quit
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
It's a breeze

When you're sailing on the Med in your new yacht
You couldn't give a damn
No matter what
But
When you've found the ball is over
And you're tired of being a rover
And you still can live in clover
It's a breeze

When you dig a chick that's got it
And the marriage ties' been knotted
Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding

Hey man it's a gas
It's a ringadingding
It's a breeze

If I Could Reach You


If I Could Reach You
Composer(s): Randy McNeill
Performer(s): The Fifth Dimension
and multiple other artists



Oh no, don't go it's hours till dawn
And there's no one who'd rather be with you
I know you know other girls like me
I let you take my love
Knowing you don't love me

But if I could reach you some way
If I knew the magic it would take
To love you good enough on the outside
And make you feel it on the inside
Maybe I could make you stay

If I could reach you

The dark is getting light
And you're dressed to go
And never said a word about tomorrow

But if I could reach you some way
If I knew the magic it would take
To love you good enough on the outside
And make you feel it on the inside
Maybe I could make you stay

Keep Me From Blowing Away


Keep Me From Blowing Away
Composer(s): Paul Craft
Performer(s): Linda Ronstadt; T. Graham Brown;
Jerry Lee Lewis; The Seldom Scene; Charlie Sizemore



Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face

Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away

Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

It's Funny To Everyone But Me


It's Funny To Everyone But Me
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence
Performer(s): The Ink Spots
and multiple other artists



It's funny how you loved me, then forgot so suddenly
It's funny to everyone but me
(It's the talk of the town)
They told me this would happen, now they're laughing secretly
It's funny to everyone but me
(gosh, he's crying again)
I should shrug my shoulders and say, good riddance to a bad affair
But how can I do, but my head tells me to
When my heart tells me how much I care?
It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century
It's funny to everyone but me
(I got the right to think of you)
It's so funny I still love you, it's the joke of the century
Ah but it's funny to everyone but me

If I Could Only Win Your Love
Composer(s): Ira Louvin; Charlie Louvin
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris

If I could only win your love
I'd make the most of everything
I'd proudly wear your wedding ring
My heart would never stray when you're away

If I could only win your love

You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love

Oh how can I ever say
How I crave your love when your gone away
Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight

If I could only win your love

Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight

If I could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love

Keep Me From Harm


Keep Me From Harm
Composer(s): Peter Murphy; Paul Statham
Performer(s): Peter Murphy



Health is all I'm asking for
Love is all I need
Hope is what I'm asking for
Lay me down to sleep
It was then that I lost you
Was dragged there too
Under a sea of mystery
Died there along with you
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Guess you found your own root
Dug into that fast heart
Flew without wing or pinion
Now you orbit the stars
Now haunted and weary
Your vision creeps
I need a clear water
I need a release
Love me hold me keep me from harm
Love me hold me keep me from harm
