Shine Shine


Shine Shine
Composer(s): George Bitzer; Maurice Gibb; Barry Gibb
Performer(s): Bee Gees



I've never been sorry for the way I was raised

The enemy fewer and the love that I made was the symbol on the times

A celebration of the wine I made a memory in you
I'll still be the reader of the letters you write

I've never been lonely for the rest of my life
there's a corner in my heart

Oh
we can never be apart
no
we can never be apart
Look tomorrow
you be gone tomorrow
we can dance the night away

I can bestow to you all my love on your wedding day
Shine
shine
for how much longer you'll be mine

There'll be no words to be broken.
You mean no world to me someone else that we both call love in your eyes

I believe together you'll shine
I was born to be with you on the day you were born

A beautiful angel with her face in the sun

She was searchin' for the moon in ev'ry sparkle in the spoon
You haven't changed.
I'll still be the face in ev'rybody you see a light in the night

If you need me to be in ev'ry corner of the world

If any smile becomes a tear I will shelter you from the rain

Look tomorrow
you be gone tomorrow
we can dance the night away

Shine
shine
for how much longer you'll be mine

And now I love you
there's no one I place above you
life is a road before you

While he can show the way for you
my darling
I will pray for you
Slune
shine
For how much longer you'll be mine ...

Shine On, Harvest Moon


Shine On, Harvest Moon
Composer(s): Nora Bayes; Jack Norworth
First performance by: Nora Bayes & Jack Norworth - 1908
Covered by multiple other artists



The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
And the moon refused to shine
Couple sittin' underneath the willow tree; for love they pined
The little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness, so
She said, "I guess I'll go"
The boy began to sigh, looked up in the sky
And told the moon his little tale of woe

"Shine on, shine on, harvest moon up in the sky
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on, harvest moon, for me and my gal"

I can't see why a boy should cry when by his side
Is a girl he loves so true
All he has to say is "Won't you be my bride, for I love you"
But why should I be telling you this secret when
I know that you can guess?
Harvest moon will smile, shine on all the while
If the little girl should answer "Yes"!

"Shine on, shine on, harvest moon up in the sky
I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June or July
Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on, harvest moon, for me and my gal"

Shine On You Crazy Diamond


Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Composer(s): Roger Waters; Richard Wright; David Gilmour
First release by: Pink Floyd - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom
blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph
sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine

Shine On Brightly


Shine On Brightly
Composer(s): Gary Brooker; Keith Reid
Performer(s): Procol Harum



My Prussian-blue electric clock's
alarm bell rings, it will not stop
and I can see no end in sight
and search in vain by candlelight
for some long road that goes nowhere
for some signpost that is not there
And even my befuddled brain
is shining brightly, quite insane
The chandelier is in full swing
as gifts for me the three kings bring
of myrrh and frankincense, I'm told
and fat old Buddhas carved in gold
And though it seems they smile with glee
I know in truth they envy me
and watch as my befuddled brain
shines on brightly quite insane
Above all else confusion reigns
And though I ask no-one explains
My eunuch friend has been and gone
He said that I must soldier on
And though the Ferris wheel spins round
my tongue it seems has run aground
and croaks as my befuddled brain
shines on brightly, quite insane

Shine A Little Love


Shine A Little Love
Composer(s): Jeff Lynne
Electric Light Orchestra; Meanstreet Boys; Jason Prince



Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize
I guess you had your way
You see I gotta make you understand
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say
But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see

Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn
Remember,tonight we're gonna say
We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on
I know you've heard it all before
But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see

Can you understand (Yes I understand)
Can you feel it's right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)

It's been a year now and it's getting so much better
You came home without a word
Though everybody said you'll soon forget her
Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand
And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand

Can you understand (Yes I understand)
Can you feel it's right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)

How many days had I been waiting there to tell you
I really can't believe
We're walkin' out into the world tonight
We'll do it all again until the break of light
And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see

Shine (Ella Fitzgerald)


Shine
Composer(s): Lew Brown - Ford Dabney - Cecil Mack
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
and multiple other artists



'Cause my hair is curly
Just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Like to dress up in the latest style

'Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Just because my color's shady,
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me

Shine, sway your blues'ies.
Why don't you shine?
Start with your shoes'ies.
Shine each place up, make it look like new.
Shine your face up, I want to see you wear a smile or two.

Why don't you shine your these and thoseies?
You'll find everything gonna turn out right fine
Folks will shine up to ya'
Everybody's gonna howdy doody do-ya'
You'll make the whole world shine

Oh chocolate drop, that's me...

'Cause my hair is curly, (man's got curly hair)
Now just because my teeth are pearly, (also got pearly teeth)
Just because I always wear a smile, (oh keep on smiling)
Like to dress us, babe, in the latest style.

'Cause I'm glad I'm livin'
I take these troubles all with a smile
Now just because my color's shady (you's a shady baby)
That's the difference, maybe, why they call me...

Shine away your blues'ies
Shine, start with your shoes'ies
You'll make the whole world shine

Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop
Shimmy Shimmy Bop
Sittin' in a native hut
All alone and blue
Sittin' in a native hut
Wonderin' what to do
Along came a native girl
Did a native dance
It was like in paradise
Put me in a trance

Going
Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop
Shimmy Shimmy Bop
Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop
Shimmy Shimmy Bop
Joined her in her dancin' spree
Felt my spine a-tingle
Held her tight and close to me
Man I'm glad I'm single
Then she showed me what to do
First I was amazed
Soon I learned a step or two
Put me in a daze

Going
Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop

Left foot forward right one back
Bring them side by side
Uh syncopate your last two steps
Now you're going to glide
Keep along the rhythm track
Girls please show 'em how
Now you start to arch your back
Man you got it now

Going
Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop
Shimmy Shimmy Bop
Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko-Bop
Shimmy Shimmy Bop

Shilo Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Ray Gehring



Young child with dreams Dream ev'ry dream on your own When children play seems like you end up alone Papa says he'd love to be with you If he had the time So you turn on the only friend you can find There in your mind Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came And we'd play Young girl with fire Something said she understood I wanted to fly She made me feel like I could Held my hand out, and I let her take me Blind as a child All I saw was the way that she made me smile She made me smile Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came And you'd stay Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder She had other plans Got to go, and I know that you'll understand I understand Shilo, when I was young I used to call you name When no one else would come Shilo, you always came Come today

Shield Of Faith


Shield Of Faith
Composer(s): Ron Block
Performer(s): Alison Krauss; Ernie Cox



Sometimes I'm battle weary
I forget to use my shield
The arrows pierce my armor
And I stumble in the filed

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

I'll think my life is over
But the Lord he comes to me
He heals my wounded spirit
And he sets me on my feet

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Sometimes your battle weary
But the war's already won
Keep your head and hold your shield high
'Til your days of life are done

A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

Yeah you're the one she treats as a lil' pet

Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
First release by: The Rolling Stones - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold
I'm so hot for her, I'm on fire for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire
I'm the bleeding volcano
I'm so hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and she's so cold

Yeah, I tried re-wiring her, tried re-firing her
I think her engine is permanently stalled
She's so cold she's so cold
She's so cold cold cold
Like a tombstone
She's so cold, she's so cold
she's so cold cold cold like an ice cream cone
She's so cold she's so cold
And when I touch her my hand just froze

Yeah, I'm so hot for hot for her, I'm so hot for her
I'm so hot for her and even so
Put your hand on the heat, put your hand on the heat
Aw C'mon baby, let's go

She's so cold, she's so cold, cold, she's so c-c-c-old
But she's beautiful, though

Yeah, she's so cold

She's so cold, she's so cold
She was born in an arctic zone
She's so cold she's so cold, cold, cold
And when I touch her my hand just froze

She's so cold, she's so goddamn cold she's so
Cold cold cold she's so cold

Who would believe you were a beauty indeed
When the days get shorter and the nights get long
Lie awake when the rain comes
Nobody will know, when you're old
When you're old, nobody will know
that you was a beauty, a sweet sweet beauty
A sweet sweet beauty, but stone stone cold

You're so cold, you're so cold, cold, cold
You're so cold, you're so cold

I'm so hot for you, I'm so hot for you
I'm so hot for you and you're so cold

I'm the burning bush, I'm the burning fire
I'm the bleeding volcano

She's Single Again


She's Single Again
Composer(s): Charlie Craig; Pete McCann
Performer(s): Janie Fricke; Reba McEntire



I just gotta tell ya what I saw last night
I wished I was guessing but I know I'm right
She walked in this place with a smile on her face
and I wondered why she was alone
Every man watched as she swayed on by
The way she was looking every woman could cry
and then I saw her sit down with her lawyer and I knew what was going on

She's single again, hold on to your men
She'll make us worried wives
And bring us broken lives and heartaches that never end
She's single again
She's no woman's friend and she'd making her move
She's got nothing to lose
Look out she's single again

Tell me is this number four or is this number five
Tell me how many husbands has she buried alive
She uses the favors that the good Lord gave her with the devil's design
OOOh I know she's thinking she's on top of the world
I've seen her working and I'm warning you girls
She's single again
She's got a way with men, but she'd better get away from mine

She's single again, hold on to your men
She'll make us worried wives
And bring us broken lives and heartaches that never end
She's single again
She's no woman's friend and she'd making her move
She's got nothing to lose
Look out she's single again ...

She's Out Of My Life
She's Out Of My Life
And I Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry
I Don't Know Whether To Live Or Die
And It Cuts Like A Knife
She's Out Of My Life

It's Out Of My Hands
To Think For Two Years She Was Here
And I Took Her For Granted I Was So Cavalier
Now The Way That It Stands
She's Out Of My Hands

So I've Learned That Love's Not Possession
And I've Learned That Love Won't Wait
Now I've Learned That Love Needs Expression
But I Learned Too Late

She's Out Of My Life
She's Out Of My Life
Damned Indecision And Cursed Pride
Kept My Love For Her Locked Deep Inside
And It Cuts Like A Knife
She's Out Of My Life

She's Only A Bird In A Gilded Cage


She's Only A Bird In A Gilded Cage
(Traditional)



She's only a bird
In a gilded cage
A beautiful sight to see
You may think she's happy
And free from care
She's not
Tho' she seems to be
'Tis sad when you think
Of her wasted life
For youth cannot mate with age
And her beauty was sold
For an old man's gold
She's a bird in a gilded cage

Her hair is soft and her eyes are oh so blue
She's all the things a girl should be
But she's not you

She knows just how to make me laugh when I feel blue
She's ev'rything a man could want
But she's not you

And when we're dancing
It almost feels the same
I've got to stop myself from
Whisp'ring your name

She even kisses me like you used to do
And it's just breaking my heart
'cause she's not you

The way she acted, the color of her hair
Her voice is soft and cool
Her eyes are clear and bright
But she’s not there...

Performer(s): I Kings - 1965



E' cosi' triste il tuo pianto
Ma lui non e' qui'
Tu sai capire soltanto
Che lui non e' qui'
E non importa che io ti amo
Perche' nel cuor hai solo lui
Se con gli occhi ci incontriamo
Pero' tu
Ma non e' giusto quello che fai tu
No non e' giusto di far soffrire me
Non lo aspettare piu'
Non tornera' lo sai
Mai piu' con te
Ma quello che tu non dici
Io posso capir
Lui ti farebbe felice
Ma lui non e' qui
Non ti dovrei piu' dire t'amo
Ma gia' lo so che non potrei
Non saprei pensarti mai vicino a lui
Ma non e' giusto quello che fai tu
No non e' giusto di far soffrire me
Non lo aspettare piu'
Non tornera' lo sai
Mai piu' da te
E non importa che io ti amo
Perche' nel cuor hai solo lui
Se con gli occhi ci incontriamo
Pero' tu
Ma non e' giusto quello che fai tu
No non e' giusto di far soffrire me
Non lo aspettare piu'
Non tornera' lo sai

Je suis seul avec ma peine
Quand tu n'es pas là
Et je ne suis plus le même
Quand tu n'es pas là

Mais demain
Je pourrai te dire
Combien je t'aime
Oh oui combien!
Enfin, je pourrai te dire
"Te voilà!"

Et je crierai très loin en te voyant
Et je crierai, fier, au vu de ces gens
Tant pis s'ils me croient fou
Que m'importe après tout
Tu seras là

Dans la vie tout m'indiffère
Quand tu n'es pas là
Et je ne sais plus que faire
Quand tu n'es pas là

Mais demain
Je pourrai te dire
Combien je t'aime
Oh oui combien!
Enfin, je pourrai te dire
"Te voilà!"

Et si je crie, tu ne m'en voudras pas
Et si je crie, tu crieras avec moi
Un heureux de retour
Heureux de cet amour
Nous serons là

Mais demain

Combien je t'aime
Oh oui combien!
Enfin, je pourrai te dire

Et si je crie, tu ne m'en voudras pas

Un heureux de retour
Heureux de cet amour

She's Not Mine Anymore


She's Not Mine Anymore
Composer(s): Marshall Crenshaw
Performer(s): Robert Gordon



Now she's gone, it's true
I guess I always knew
That she wanted more from me
Than I had, you see
I knew what I was heading for
I got to be strong inside
'Cause it hurts my pride
To know she's not mine anymore

Well alright, okay, I tried
To make her stay
But she wanted more from me
Than I had, you see
I gave until there was no more
I'm gonna be strong somehow
'Cause it's over now
I know she's not mine anymore

I guess I'll be finding out
How to do without
The woman I was living for
I got to be strong inside
'Cause it hurts my pride
To know she's not mine anymore
She wanted more from me
Than I had, you see
And I gave until there was no more
And I'm gonna be strong somehow
'Cause it's over now
I know she's not mine... anymore
