Happy Holiday


Happy Holiday
From the film "Holiday Inn" (1942)
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Martha Mears
and multiple other artists



Happy Holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
(If your burdened down with trouble)
(If your nerves a wearing thin)
(Park your load down the road)
(And come to Holiday Inn)
If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares down the stairs
Come to Holiday Inn
(If you can't find someone who)
(Will set your heart a-whirl)
(Take your car and motor to)
(The home of boy meets girl)
If you're laid-up with a breakdown
Throw away your vitamin
(Don't get worse), grab your nurse
And come to Holiday Inn
(Happy holiday, happy holiday)
(While the merry bells are ringin')
(May your every wish come true)
(Happy holiday, happy holiday)
(May the calendar keep bringin')
(Happy holidays to you)
Happy holiday, happy holiday)
While the merry bells keep ringin'
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday, happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringin'
Happy holidays to you

Questions (INXS)


Questions
Composer(s): Andrew Farriss
Performer(s): INXS



How do you know when it's time for you to go
How can you stop when you don't know how to start
How can you go back when you don't know why you're here
How can you see when your eyes begin to fade
How will you hear when you've heard it all before
How do you do all the things you want to do
How much can you take when you've taken all you can
How can you act when you've never seen the script
How can you choose when you don't know which is right
How far can you go if you've been there before
How can you shine if you've never seen the sun
How does a child become a man without a child
How can you heal someone who doesn't want to heal

Shame On The Moon


Shame On The Moon
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Chris Reynolds; Mark Reynolds
Performer(s): Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
and multiple other artists



Until you've been beside a man
You don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if don't
Where nothing comes easy, old nightmares are real
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know how he feels

But once inside a woman's heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up the door
Where angels fear to tread
Some men go crazy, some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go

But, oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon

Everywhere is all around
Comfort in the crowd
Ooh, shame on the moon
Stanger's faces all round
Laughing right out loud
Hey, watch where you're goin', step light on old toes
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know who he knows

But, oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon
Oh, blame it on midnight

Questions 67 And 68


Questions 67 And 68
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago



Can this feeling that we have together
Oooh, Suddenly exist between
Did this meeting of our minds together
Oooh, Happen just today, somewhere
I'd like to know,
Can you tell me -- please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing

Was your image in my mind so deeply
Was your image in my mind so deeply
Oooh, other places fade away
Blocking memories of unhappy hours
Oooh, Leavin' just a burnin' love
I'd like to know,
I'd like to know
Can you tell me -- please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby

Can this lovin' we have found within us
Oooh, Suddenly exist between
Did we somehow try to make it happen
Oooh, Was it just a natural thing
I'd like to know
Can you tell me -- please don't tell me
It really doesn't matter anyhow
It's just that the thought of us so happy
Appears in my mind, as a beautifully mysterious thing
Yes it does now baby

Shame On Me


Shame On Me
Composer(s): Lawton Williams; Bill Enis
First recording/First release by: Bobby Bare - 1962



Shame on me for hurting you what can I say what can I do
Last night I was blind but today I see I did you wrong shame on me

You say you won't be seein' me again you say we're through
I wouldn't want to see the sunrise tomorrow if I knew that to be true
I know that just sayin' sorry doesn't sound out a lot
But the girl you saw me with last night means no more to me
Than the thousand stars to the great clouds that cover the night
The more I look at her the more I realize how much I love you
Shame on me for hurting you...

I'll admit I shouldn't have given into love's wild temptation
With someone I cared nothing for I was blind and I hurt you
Can you ever forgive the fool the fool who really loves you
Last night I was blind but today I see I did you wrong shame on me

Questo Amore È Per Sempre


Questo Amore È Per Sempre
((Adapted from: Any Old Time Of The Day (Dionne Warwick) - 1963))
((French Version: Chaque Instant De Chaque Jour (Sheila) - 1964))
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David - Cassia
Performer(s): Dalida - 1966



So che vorresti lasciarmi ma

Ma dove vai non lo voglio saper perchè
Tu prima o poi tornerai da me non c'è nulla
Che puoi trovare di più di questo amor
T'amo e questo amore è per sempre
E mai nessuno potrà, strapparlo dal tuo cuor

E allora ti sentiresti perdato lo so cosi
Un solo giorno per te basterà per capire
Che il tuo domani non c'è senza di me
Era, scritto nell nostro destino
E non si puo cancellar
Dal mondo un amor

Ma dove vai se la tua strada porta qui accanto a me
Ma come puoi cercare ancora un altro amor
Tu non sai che ci unisce un filo che non puo spezzar
Non puo spezzar, non puo spezzarsi mai

Non c'è nulla che puoi trovare di più
Di questo amor
T'amo e questo amore è per sempre
E mai nessuno potrà
Strapparlo dal tuo cuor

Ma dove vai se la tua strada porta qui
Accanto a me
Ma come puoi cercare ancora un altro amor
Tu non sai che ci unisce un filo che non puo spezzar
Non puo spezzar, non puo spezzarsi mai

Lullaby Of Love


Lullaby Of Love
(French & German Versions: Parle-Moi; Guten Abend, Gut' Nacht)
Composer(s): J. Brahms; L. Butler; B. Sherrill
Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri



Hear the breeze, in the trees
Hear the birds, softly singing
And the song that they sing
Is our lullabye of love

Hear the breeze' sweet refrain
Every raindrop is singing
And the song that they sing
Is a lullabye of love.

Forever, and 'ever
Our love will be true
Forever, and 'ever
I'll always love you

Every beat of my heart
Says "I love you,
I love you, I love you"
And the song in my heart
Is a lullabye of love

Forever, and 'ever
Our love will be true
Forever, and 'ever
I'll always love you

Forever, and 'ever
Our love will be true
Forever, and 'ever
I'll always love you

Questo Folle Sentimento


Questo Folle Sentimento
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti; Mogol
Performer(s): Formula 3



Che cosa c'è
negli occhi tuoi
negli occhi miei
che cosa c'è.
Io lo conosco
questo momento
la voce del vento
cresce dentro di me
La musica suona
io non la sento
la gente balla
io non la vedo
La luce è rossa
la luce è gialla
diventi bella
sempre di più
sempre di più
sempre di più
sempre di più
sempre..

Quando ti ho visto
già lo sapevo
cosa accadeva
io già lo sapevo
A cosa serviva
cercar di fuggire
tanto valeva
lasciarsi cadere
E adesso son qui
pazzo di te
desidero te
e nient'altro che te
La luce è rossa
la luce è gialla
diventi bella
sempre di più
sempre di più
sempre di più
sempre di più
sempre..

Ah l'amore
questo folle sentimento che
ah l'amore
più lo fuggo e più ritorna da me
e stavolta ha il tuo volto perché
io mi sto innamorando di te, di te

Shame And Scandal In The Family


Shame And Scandal In The Family
(French & Italian Versions: Scandale Dans La Famille; Un Grosso Scandalo)
Composer(s): Slim Henry Brown; Huon Donaldson
Performer(s): Lance Percival
and multiple other artists



Woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family

In Trinidad there was a family
With much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa and a boy who was grown
He wanted to marry, have a wife of his own
Found a young girl that suited him nice
Went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said: "Son, I have to say no
This girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"

Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family

A week went by and the summer came 'round
Soon the best cook in the island he found
He went to his papa to name the day
His papa shook his head and to him did say
"You Can't marry this girl, I have to say no
This girl is your sister, but your mama don't know"

Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family

He went to his mama and covered his head
And told his mama what his papa had said
His mama she laughed, she say, "Go man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know."

Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family
Oh, woe is me
Shame and scandal in the family

Questo Momento


Questo Momento ((French Version: L'instant Présent (by Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Giorgi Calabrese - Charles Aznavour Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Questo momento è passeggero
Inafferrabile, leggero
Appena in tempo ad esser qua
E in un istante se ne va
La corsa dura senza tregua
Questo momento si dilegua
Questo momento quanto è breve
Non può interrompersi e non deve
È un'impalpabile entità
Che com'è nato morirà
Prima di entrare nella storia
Questo momento è senzagloria
E non può durante il cammino
Che comportarsi sempre bene
Ha alle spalle il momento che seguirà
E che non potrà essere da meno
Questo momento non si illude
Appena nasce si conclude
Il tempo non ammette ma
L'altro secondo scoccherà
E quello che sta per puntare
Questo momento devo andare
Queso momento è da fermare
Anche se con parole care
Pare un ricordo chi lo sa
Di quello che sarà
Il paradiso o una prigione
Questo momento è l'occasione
Questo momento non risposa
Ha una sua corsa ben precisa
Occorre tanta volontà
Per afferrarlo o se ne andrà
E sta sfuggendoci anche questo
Questo momento passa presto
Per questo amore differente
Raccoglierò tanti momenti
Mettine in file più che puoi
Per fare che non venga mai
Il suo tramonto
Questo mommnto ti appartiene
Legato ad altri senza fine, senza fine
E il momento che spetta a me
Un giorno rimarrà appena
Questo momento e il mio problema
Ma se mi dici che mi ami
Questo momento senza età
Per noi vivrà

Shame


Shame
Composer(s): David Clark Allen
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



It doesn't matter what you say
I don't believe you anyway
Talking love is easy when it's new
Slow down don't move so fast
This feeling may not last
I've been wrong before
Haven't you
Don't cry for me
If she's just a fantasy

Shame, shame on you
You should know better
Then to play with the heart that's true

Shame, shame on you
You should know better
Than to do the things you do
Shame, shame on you

It doesn't matter what you say
I can't believe you anyway
The only thing that counts is what you do
Think twice before you leave
This is real, not make believe
The answer lies with you
So go with her if your body's sure

Shame, shame on you
You should know better
Then to play with the heart that's true

Shame, shame on you
You should know better
Than to do the things you do
Shame, shame on you

You're wasting my life
Play with hers
Someone's gonna lose
Yes I know who that is

Shame, shame on you
You should know better
Then to play with the heart that's true

Shame, shame on you
You should know better
Than to do the things you do
Shame, shame on you

Shall We Dance?


Shall We Dance?
Composer(s): George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin
Performer(s): Fred Astaire



Drop that long face
Come on, have your fling
Why keep nursing the blues?
If you want this old world on a string
Put on your dancing shoes
Stop wasting time
Put on your dancing shoes
Watch your spirits climb

Shall we dance, or keep on moping?
Shall we dance and walk on air?
Shall we give in to despair?
Or shall we dance with never a care?
Life is short, we’re growing older
Don’t you be an also-ran
You’d better dance, little lady
Dance, little man
Dance whenever you can

Questo Piccolo Grande Amore


Questo Piccolo Grande Amore
Composer(s): Claudio Baglioni; Antonio Coggio
Performer(s): Claudio Baglioni;
Michéal Castaldo; Fiorello



Quella sua maglietta fina
tanto stretta al punto che mi immaginavo tutto
e quell' aria da bambina
che non glielo detto mai ma io ci andavo matto

e chiare sere d' estate
il mare i giochi e le fate
e la paura e la voglia
di essere nudi
un bacio a labbra salate
il fuoco quattro risate
e far l' amore giù al faro...
ti amo davvero ti amo lo giuro...ti amo ti amo
davvero!

E lei
lei mi guardava con sospetto
poi mi sorrideva e mi teneva stretto stretto
ed io
io non ho mai capito niente
visto che ora mai non me lo levo dalla mente
che lei lei era
un piccolo grande amore
solo un piccolo grande amore
niente più di questo niente più!
mi manca da morire
quel suo piccolo grande amore
adesso che saprei cosa dire
adesso che saprei cosa fare
adesso che voglio
un piccolo grande amore

Quella camminata strana
pure in mezzo a chissacche l' avrei riconosciuta
mi diceva "sei una frana"
ma io questa cosa qui mica l' ho mai creduta
e lunghe corse affannate
incontro a stelle cadute
e mani sempre più ansiose
di cose proibite
e le canzoni stonate
urlate al cielo lassù
"chi arriva prima a quel muro..."
non sono sicuro se ti amo davvero
non sono...non sono sicuro...

E lei
tutto ad un tratto non parlava
ma le si leggeva chiaro in faccia che soffriva
ed io
io non lo so quant' e' che ha pianto
solamente adesso me ne sto rendendo conto
che lei lei era
un piccolo grande amore
solo un piccolo grande amore
niente più di questo niente più
mi manca da morire
quel suo piccolo grande amore
adesso che saprei cosa dire
adesso che che saprei cosa fare
adesso che voglio
un piccolo grande amore...

Qui


Qui Composer(s): Charles Aznavour First release by: Charles Aznavour - 1963 Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages: 1963/1964 - Chi (Charles Aznavour) 1967 - Quien (Charles Aznavour) 1968 - Who (Will Take My Place) (Dusty Springfield)



Qui frôlera tes lèvres
Et vibrant de fièvre
Surprenant ton corps
Deviendra ton maître
En y faisant naître
Un nouveau bien-être
Un autre bonheur?

Qui prendra la relève
Pour combler tes rêves
Et sans un remord
D'un éclat de rire
Saura te conduire
A mieux me détruire
Au fond de ton coeur?

Qui peut être cet autre
Qui sera cet intrus
Dans tout ce qui fut nôtre
Quand je ne serais plus?

Qui prendra ta faiblesse
Avec des caresses
Et des mots d'amour
En couvrant d'oubli
Nos jours de folies?
Qui prendra ta vie
Au bout de mes jours?

Nous vivons à vingt ans d'écart
Notre amour et démesuré
Et j'ai le coeur au désespoir
Pour ces années
Car lorsque mes yeux seront clos
D'autres yeux vont te contempler
Aussi je lutte avec ce mot
De ma pensée

Qui sans que tu protestes
Refera les gestes
Qui ne sont qu'à nous
Lorsque je t'embrasse
Lorsque je t'enlace?
Qui prendra ma place
Autour de mon cou?

Qui connaîtra tes scènes
De folie soudaine
Ou bien de courroux?
Qui aura la chance
D'avoir ta présence?
Souvent qu'y pense
Je deviens jaloux

Qui? nul ne peut le dire
Qui? nous n'en savons rien
Et mon coeur se déchire en pensant que quelqu'un

Te prendra ce je t'aime
Et par ce je t'aime
Je le sais déjà
Il prendra ta bouche
Il prendra ta couche
Et m'enterrera
Pour la seconde fois

Shakin' It Loose
Composer(s): Gary Richrath
Performer(s): REO Speedwagon



She looked at me with fire in her eyes
Looks can't kill but she certainly tries
and she tried as she might
But I'm gonna be all right
Shakin' it loose tonight

She said honey, "Forget me quick"
Another fool, another Hollywood trick
Movin' on a red light
But I'm gonna be all right
Shakin' it loose tonight

I got to go there's someone on the phone
Knock on my door, but there's nobody home
I turned out the light
And I'm gonna be all right
Shakin' it loose tonight

Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight
Shake, shake, shakin' it loose tonight
I'm gonna make it
Shakin' it loose tonight
