You Mean Everything To Me


You Mean Everything To Me
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield; Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka; The Wynners



You are the answer to my lonely prayer
You are an angel from above
I was so lonely till you came to me
With the wonder of your love.

I don't know how I ever lived before
You are my life, my destiny
Oh my darling, I love you so
You mean everything to me

If you should ever, ever go away
There would be lonely tears to cry
The sun above would be never shine again
There would be teardrops in the sky

So hold me close and never let me go
And say our love will always be
Oh, my darling, I love you so
You mean everything to me

So hold me close and never let me go
And say our love will always be
Oh, my darling, I love you so
You mean everything to me

Sun King


Sun King
Composer(s): Charlton Pettus - Curt Smith
Performer(s): Mayfield



The evidence is on the page
Not much to show for so much rage
It makes me smile
You lost it somehow

Solitude was your only choice
Bitterness your only voice
I saw your face
The time is talking now

Boy you looked so bad!

You make the earth revolve
You make the camera sing
No conscience can absolve
The Sun King

A small imbalanced vain recluse
You use the planets to excuse
Your costumed smile
Your childish abuse

The gloves are off there are no rules
I'm a regicidal fool
Who'd change your face
But change would just improve

Boy you looked so sad!

You make the earth revolve
You make the camera sing
No conscience can absolve
The Sun King

Here comes the rain
To test our will
Here comes the rain
To cleanse again

You make the earth revolve
You make the camera sing
No conscience can absolve
The Sun King

(repeat)

You May Be Right


You May Be Right
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel



Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting any one
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alone
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

Remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If i'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn"t want me any other way

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
It's too late to fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic your looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right
You may be wrong but you may be right

You Make My Pants Want To Get Up And Dance
Composer(s): Sam Weedman
Performer(s): Dr. Hook; Dennis Locorriere



You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel downs say please
Honey won't you kiss me again
I was a lost and lonely make
draggin' through life the best I can
Till the day I laid my eye on you
That day I decided what I had to do

You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel downs say please
Honey won't you kiss me again

Start the music, strike up the band
I never done the boogie, but I believe I can
Never met a girl half as sweet as you
Nobody's ever moved half the moves you do

You make my pants want to get up and dance
You make my face want to grin
You make my knees want to kneel downs say please
Honey won't you kiss me again

Carolina I Hear You Calling


Carolina I Hear You Calling
Composer(s): Tom Crain - Charlie Daniels - Joel "Taz" DiGregorio -
Fred Edwards - Charlie Hayward - Charlie Marshall
Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band



When it's Christmas time in Carolina
The kinfolks gather up at Grandma's house
And they fill the house with love
And they honor God above
They remember what the season's all about

It's been ten long years since I've been there with them
And I can't face another holiday alone
And tonight I'm going back
And if this train don't jump the track
I'll spend Christmas Eve with all the folks at home

Carolina I hear you calling
I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there
Carolina I hear you calling
I can almost touch the mountains in your hair

When I left my home in Carolina
I never thought that things would get this far
I was only seventeen when I struck out for New Orleans
Trying to do or die on my guitar
Well I always thought someday I'd be returning
But I kept drifting with that same old traveling wind
Can I still call you home or have I stayed away too long
Carolina would you have me back again

Carolina I hear you calling
I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there
Carolina I hear you calling
I can almost touch the mountains in your hair

(Carolina)
Carolina I hear you calling
I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there
Carolina I hear you calling
I can almost touch the mountains in your hair
I can almost touch the mountains in your hair

You Make My Dreams


You Make My Dreams
Composer(s): Daryl Hall; John Oates; Sara Allen
Performer(s): Daryl Hall & John Oates; Mêlée



What I want you've got
And it might be hard to handle
Like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame, yeah, yeah
What I've got's full stock
Of thoughts and dreams that scatter
Then you pull them all together
And how I can't explain
Oh, yeah
Well, well you
(Ooh-ho, hoo-ooh, ooh-oo)
You make my dreams come true
(You-hoo, you, you-hoo, hoo, you, hoo)
Well, well, well you
(You-hoo, hoo-hoo-ooh)
Oh, yeah
You make my dreams come true
(You make my dreams)
Come true
(You-hoo, you, you-hoo, hoo, you, hoo)

On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrap yourself around me
'Cos I ain't the way you found me
And I'll never be the same
Oh, yeah
Well, 'cos you
(Ooh-ho, hoo-ooh, ooh-oo)
You make my dreams come true
(You-hoo, you, you-hoo, hoo, you, hoo)
Well, well, well you
(You-hoo, hoo-hoo-ooh)
You make my dreams come true
(You make my dreams)
Come true
(You-hoo, you, you-hoo, hoo, you, hoo)

Listen to this

I'm down on my daydream
Oh, that sleepwalk should be over by now
I know
'Bout you
Yeah, yeah
You make my dreams come true
(You-hoo, you, you-hoo, hoo, you, hoo)
Oh, yeah
I've waited, waited for you, girl
(You-hoo, hoo-hoo-ooh)
Oh, yeah
You make my dreams come true
(You make my dreams)
Come true
(You-hoo, you, you-hoo, hoo, you, hoo)
You and me, you and me...

Sun Cycle


Sun Cycle
Composer(s): Dickie Peterson - Leigh Stephens - Peter Wagner
Performer(s): Blue Cheer; Bad Vibes



The lady folded
Her silver hair
Behind her back
With the strings of a veil

And cut me a pack
Of a famous sword
Sharp to East
Her magnitude
That made the table
In an infinite tangle

And then the darkness came
And wrapped on velvet feet
And here through the window
I saw a quickening eye

Reflecting time
In the blowing night
And pulled the shade
To a clear green game
And from the visions
Riding heavy sea

And from the visions
Riding heavy sea
That cast the ships
Into a sink as man
And burn the ringing
Don't wanna carry inside

Then the morning came
Lapping up the winds
From the tainted table
That was serving time
It's silver spoon
That was breathing stars
Images flown
Like the birds of high
Wings in the sun
What a blessed sight

You Make Me Feel So Young


You Make Me Feel So Young
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Josef Myrow
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;
and various other artists



You make me feel so young
You make me feel as though spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy in-div-dual

The moment that you speak
I wanna go play hide and seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy ballon

You and I are just like a couple of tots
Runnin' across the meadow
Pickin' up lots of forget me nots

You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung
And a wonderful spring to be sprung
And even when I'm old and grey
I'm gonna feel the way I do today
'Cos you make me feel so young

Sun Come Up


Sun Come Up
Composer(s): Jim Croce - Richard Croce
Performer(s): Jim Croce



Sun come up in the morning
Blues round my head
I've got a troubled mind and plenty of time to roam
As I walk this crooked highway
Never knowin' where to go
You know the only life I know is bein' on the road

I've got holes in my shoes that I fill with paper
When the sun's out they dry
And when it rains well they get wet but I don't cry

Because the sun don't know no difference
Between a rich man and a bum
And the only life I know is movin' round the sky

See him grin down at you people
I guess you don't know what his laughter's from
But if you spend enough time on the road
Maybe you'd find out
Because the sun goes round in an endless circle
Never knowin' the reason why
Still there's something in the path that it traces round the sky
It's like a circle with no ending
But it's a race we all must run
And it's the same bein' a rich man or a bum

Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): The Stylistics;
and various other artists



My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You made me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that never ends

Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for having faith in me

You Make Loving Fun


You Make Loving Fun
Composer(s): Christine McVie
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac;
Tom Bartsch; Jewel; Nic Johnston;
Douglas Reed; Schlong; Spectrum



Sweet wonderful you
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever I go

I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why

Don't, don't break the spell
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
And I don't have to tell you you're the only one

You make loving fun
You make loving fun

Summertime Promises


Summertime Promises
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Jack Jones



Those leafy lanes we walked through hand in hand
The lazy beach where we just tanned and tanned
They're gone just like the lovely plans we planned
Summertime promises that's all

The ferris wheel that took us to the moon
Has brought us back to earth too soon, too soon
What we called love I guess was only June
Summertime promises that's all

Only fools trust in holiday romances
Only fools cling to summer souvenirs
We were fools and like fools we took our chances
It was a loveliest summer in years

It's over still it seems like yesterday
You said you'd care forever come what may
I'm still in love with you but like they say
Summertime promises, summertime promises
Seldom come true in the fall

You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad

You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you

You know you made me love you

As sung Judy Garland:
You Made Me Love You (Dear Mr. Gable)



Dear Mr. Gable
I am writing this to you
and I hope that you will read it so you'll know
My heart beats like a hammer
and I stutter and I stammer
every time I see you at the picture show
I guess I'm just another fan of yours
and I thought I'd write and tell you so.

You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it
You made me love you
and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, sir, you made me feel so sad

You made me sigh 'cause
I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you
I think you're grand, that's true
Yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do
I must tell you what I'm feeling
The very mention of your name
sends my heart reeling
You know you made me love you!

Aw, gee, Mr. Gable
I don't wanna bother you!
Guess you got a lotta girls that tell you the same thing
And if you don't wanna read this, well, you don't have to
But I just had to tell you about the time I saw you in "It Happened One Night"
That was the first time I ever saw you
and I knew right then you were the nicest fella in the movies!
I guess it was 'cause you acted so, well so natural like
not like a real actor at all
but just like any fella you'd meet at school or at a party
Then one time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford
and I had to cry a little 'cause you loved her so much and you couldn't have her
not 'till the end of the picture, anyway
And then one time I saw you in person
You were making a personal appearance at the theatre
and I was standing there when you got out of your car
and you almost knocked me down!
Oh - but it wasn't your fault!
Naw, I was in the way
But you looked at me, and you smiled
Yeah! You smiled right at me as if you meant it
and I cried all the way
just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way!
Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr. Gable
Honest
You're my favorite actor!

(singing)

I don't care what happens, let the whole world stop
As far as I'm concerned, you'll always be the top
'cause you know you made me love you

Summertime Lies


Summertime Lies
Composer(s): A. Hood - R. Loring
Performer(s): The Four Preps



You made promises that day and I saw love in your eyes
Did you mean them or were they summertime lies
When we kissed I held your hand, I believed your tender sighs
Were those dreams that we planned summertime lies
But now the days hurry by and all of them are blue
And every day I wonder why I haven't heard from you
Has your love for me grown cold, have we said our last goodbyes
I won't believe that you told summertime lies
I won't believe that you told summertime lies
Summertime lies

You Made Me Believe In Magic


You Made Me Believe In Magic
Composer(s): Len Boone
Performer(s): The Bay City Rollers; Menage



I believe that love has gone
I've no strength to carry on
Thought my world was upside down
Then you walked on into my life
I went to work to set things right
What's the secret that, that you used

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

Now I'm filled with a new sense to be
You gave my life harmony
Loving you is all I, all I need

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

Oh, you made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

1975 - La Fille De L'été Dernier (by Johnny Hallyday)
1979 - Sommer Depression (by Rock Nalle & The Flames)
1991 - Sommertid Blues (by Torfrock)



I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and poppa told me, "Son you gotta make some money,
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!...
I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
