Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps
Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps
Composer(s): Joe Davis; Osvaldo Farrés
Performer(s): Doris Day - 1965;
and various other artists
You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You always tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
A million times I've asked you,
And then I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me
Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up
We'll never get started
And I don't wanna wind up
Being parted, broken-hearted
So if you really love me
Say yes, but if you don't dear, confess
And please don't tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
Perhaps, perhaps, (giggle) perhaps

O Vento Mudou
O Vento Mudou
Composer(s): Nuno Nazareth Fernandes; João Magalhães Pereira
First performance by: Eduardo Nascimento - 1967
Ouçam
Ouçam
E o vento mudou
Ela não voltou
As aves partiram
As folhas caíram
Ela quis viver
E o mundo correr
Prometeu voltar
Se o vento mudar
E o vento mudou
E ela não voltou
Sei que ela mentiu
P'ra sempre fugiu
Vento por favor
Traz-me o seu amor
Vê que eu vou morrer
Sem não mais a ter
Nuvens tenham dó
Que eu estou tão só
Batam-lhe à janela
Chorem sobre ela
E as nuvens choraram
E quando voltaram
Soube que mentira
P'ra sempre fugira
Nuvens por favor
Cubram minha dor
Já que eu vou morrer
Sem não mais a ter
Ouçam Ouçam ouçam Ouçam ouçam

Perhaps Love
Perhaps Love
German Title: Liebe Ist
Composer(s): John Denver
Performer(s): John Denver;
and various other artists
Perhaps love is like a resting place, a shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort, it is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble when you are most alone
the memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window, perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer, it wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself and don't know what to do
the memory of love will see you through
Oh, love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything and some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of change
Like a fire when it's cold outside or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever and all my dreams come true
my memories of love will be of you
Oh, love to some is like a cloud, to some as strong as steel
For some a way of living, for some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on and some say letting go
And some say love is everything and some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean, full of conflict, full of change
Like a fire when it's cold outside or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever and all my dreams come true
my memories of love will be of you

Sing You Sinners
Sing You Sinners
Composer(s): W. Franke Harling; Sam Coslow
First performance/First recording by: Lillian Roth; The Harlem Hot Chocolates - 1930/1929
Covered by multiple other artists
Once a mockingbird - he was overheard
singing out a word - to a cattle herd
'All you bovine creatures - dig what I'm layin' down!
All you sinners drop everything
Everything
Let the melody and the harmony ring
Let it ring
Lift arms up to Heaven and sing
Ring-a-ding
Sing you sinners, won't you sway & swing
What a thing
Start with clapping' y'hands all about
All about
Don't be silent - Let the Lord hear y'shout
Shout it out
And just let the music come out
Of yer snout
Sing you sinners, wontcha' sway & swing
Check it out
Dig the drift of what I mean
In a world where there's no music - Old Scratch
Satan gets his kicks - He's up to his tricks
He'll be laughing up & down the banks - He, He, He!
Of that River Styx
You're so wicked, baby, and you're depraved
You can rave
It's apparent that you have mis-behaved
To your grave
But if you should want to be saved
Jus' behave
Take a listen now to the bird . . .
Stop all that chewin' yer cud - and all that standin' in the mud there
Swing, people! Swing every chortle from yer mortal portal
I dig that everyone believes that cattle prodigies are like a sneeze
hard blowin', missin one lick of blowin' talent to show
If you sing, you gotta swing
Just remember that the day will come when you will just be steak on a plate
Folk, you know it's fate!
So dig the music of the swing-o-sphere - before yer swing arrives too late
That's a little too dark
Still, it is true, we've got breath for such a limited time
What are ya', stupid? You cows - you'd think to sing was a crime
In defence now, hence now, here comes Adele McCluck
Mrs. Mockingbird, I must say, you haven't heard the friendly bellowing swing
of our friends the cows as they shed their way from Teagarden to Fuller
Instead of spendin' every day just sneakin' around to lift another lick -
These cats work on their cow-tone so when they get up to blow a fatter bone-tone into the ozone
And, furthermore
You tweety birds are always singin' away - never givin' up a thought of what you say
We cows do - shedding takes up most of our day
So when we start & settle in to play we can say
A moo is an array of what cows have always known as the best and only way to play
What we mean to say is
Before the band will let you sing
Sing with Fletcher Henderson
You'd better get yourself to swing
Like the Bean or Satch
So your horn can blow a single note or two of deeper thinking
That's the way to swing
So set your mind upon a tone
When you're sheddin' all alone
And you will have a cornerstone
Like the bass trombone
Blow your horn and take a bow
So that you're swingin' like the cows
Pythagoras would be so proud of us

Perfume De Gardenias
Perfume De Gardenias
Composer(s): Rafael Hernández; Bernardo Sancristóbal
Performer(s): Javier Solís
Perfume de gardenia tiene tu boca
bellísimos destellos de luz en tu mirar
Tu risa es una rima de alegres notas
se mueven tus cabellos cuál ondas en el mar
Tu cuerpo es una copia de Venus de Citeres
que envidian las mujeres cuando te ven pasar
Y llevas en tu alma la virginal pureza
por eso es tu belleza de un místico candor
Perfume de gardenia tiene tu boca
perfume de gardenia, perfume del amor
Tu cuerpo es una copia de Venus de Citeres
que envidian las mujeres cuando te ven pasar
Y llevas en tu alma la virginal pureza
por eso es tu belleza de un místico candor
Perfume de gardenia tiene tu boca
perfume de gardenia, perfume del amor

Il Doit Faire Beau Là-Bas
Il Doit Faire Beau Là-Bas
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Hubert Giraud
First performance by: Noëlle Cordier - 1967
Il doit faire beau là-bas
Dans ce joli pays
De ma fenêtre à moi
Je vois tomber la pluie
Puisque tu es parti
C'était pour être heureux
Si tu as réussi
Tant mieux
Je déteste tous ces gens
Avec lesquels tu vis sans moi
Je déteste tous ces gens
Qui ne te parlent jamais de moi
C'est l'hiver et le vent
Que je vais traverser
C'est pour toi maintenant
L'été
Il doit faire beau là-bas
Dans ce joli pays
De ma fenêtre à moi
Je vois tomber la pluie
Déjà quatre saisons
Ont passé sur nous deux
Et sur notre maison
Il pleut
Je déteste tous ces gens
Avec lesquels je vis sans toi
Je déteste tous ces gens
Qui ne me parlent jamais de toi
Si tu dois revenir
N'attends pas trop longtemps
Je ne peux retenir
Le temps
Il doit faire beau là-bas
Dans ce joli pays
De ma fenêtre à moi
Je vois s'enfuir la vie, la vie...

Perfidia (Spanish Version)
Perfidia
Composer(s): Alberto Domínguez
Performer(s): Raphael;
and various other artists
Nadie comprende lo que sufro yo
tanto, pues ya no puedo sollozar
solo, temblando de ansiedad estoy
todos me miran y se van
Mujer, si puedes tú con Dios hablar
pregúntale si yo alguna vez
te he dejado de adorar
Al mar, espejo de mi corazón
las veces que me ha visto llorar
la perfidia de tu amor
Te he buscado donde quiera que yo voy
y no te puedo hallar
para que quiero otros labios
si tu boca no me quiere ya besar
Y tú, quién sabe por donde andarás
quién sabe que aventuras tendrás
qué lejos estás de mí

Sing You Children
Sing You Children
Composer(s): Gerald Nelson; Fred Burch
Performer(s): Elvis Presley; Gerald Nelson
Oh Jonah he was desperate in the belly of the whale
Well Jonah had a plan, he knew he couldn't fail
He raised his head on high
And looking for the sky
And he sang his song so pretty
The whale told him goodbye
You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
Well Moses said good Lord
Open up these waters for me
So I can get your chidren
Across the salty sea
Well the Lord parted the waters
And singing hand in hand
Moses and the children
Walked over to the promised land
You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
Oh Joshua had a plan
At the walls of Jericho
He'd march around those walls
And on his horn he'd blow
That horn would play a tune
And sing a happy song
When Joshua got through
Those walls came tumbling down
You got to sing you children sing
Sing you children sing
I only know one thing, hey! hey! hey!
Sing you children sing, everybody
Sing you children sing
Sing your troubles away
You got to sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away
Sing your troubles away

Perfidia (French Version)
Perfidia
Composer(s): Alberto Domínguez; Milton Leeds
Performer(s): Luis Mariano; Paul Mauriat
Chérie, tu parles bien au ciel parfois
Demande lui alors si jamais faibli mon amour pour toi
Chérie, la mer où s'est vidé mon cœur pourrait dire
À son tour Oh combien l'amour m'a couté de pleurs
Si tu veux à tout jamais ne plus me voir
Ma vie est sans espoir
Car pour moi sans tes baisers tu le sais bien
Le mot Amour ne dit plus rien
Chérie, pourtant je te l'avoue, j'ai tort
Je veux croire au bonheur oublié mes pleurs et t'aimer encore
J'aime malgré tous mes chagrins passés
J'aime t'aimer, on n'est jamais lassé
Même si je dois en souffrir sans fin
J'aime, le reste alors n'est rien
Si tu veux à tout jamais ne plus me voir
Ma vie est sans espoir
Car pour moi sans tes baisers tu le sais bien
Le mot Amour ne dit plus rien
Chérie, pourtant je te l'avoue, j'ai tort
Je veux croire au bonheur oublié mes pleurs et t'aimer encore

Warum Es Hunderttausend Sterne Gibt
Warum Es Hunderttausend Sterne Gibt
First performance by: Peter Horten - 1967
Des Nachts am weiten blauen Himmelszelt?
Warum ein Mensch oft einen anderen liebt
Viel mehr als alles auf der Welt?
Warum Millionen Blumen bluhen
Und die Sonne scheint fur Arm und Reich?
Daß Jugend und Vergehen
Hier auf Erden fur alle gleich?
Was immer auch fur Dich bestimmt
Nimm als Dein Schicksal hin
Vielleicht erkennt Dein Herz
daraus des Lebens wahren Sinn
Warum es hunderttausend Sterne gibt
Des Nachts am weiten blauen Himmelszelt?
Warum es immer wieder Wunder gibt
Ein Herz oft treu zum ander'n halt?
Warum es auch fur Arme wieder Fruhling wird
Oft schöner als fur den, der Reich?
Weil fur den einen uber'm Himmelszelt
ja alle Menschen auf der Erde gleich

Perfidia (English Version)
Perfidia
Composer(s): Alberto Domínguez; Milton Leeds
Performer(s): Nat King Cole;
and various other artists
Nadie comprende lo que sufro yo
Tanto que ya no puedo sollozar
Solo temblando de ansiedad estoy
Todos me miran y se van
To you
My heart cries out "Perfidia"
For I find you, the love of my life
In somebody else's arms
Your eyes are echoing "Perfidia"
Forgetful of the promise of love
You're sharing another's charms
With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be
And now, I know (find) my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, Goodbye
With a sad lament my dreams are faded like a broken melody
While the gods of love look down and laugh
At what romantic fools we mortals be
And now, I know (find) my love was not for you
And so I take it back with a sigh
Perfidious one, Goodbye
Goodbye

Sing With Your Eyes
Sing With Your Eyes
Composer(s): Jon Anderson; Vangelis
Performer(s): Jon & Vangelis
Don't be afraid look at me
Sing with your eyes
What you see with your heart
Now don't be shy speak to me
Deep in your soul the three words
I love you
Other nights come back to you
Other times they follow you
See the moon it's been out
Many times
Many times
Does the sun forget the world
See the sun begin the day
Some are born
Some are loved
Some are lost and alone Don't be afraid hold on to me
Sing with your eyes
What you feel with your heart
Think with your dreams
Don't try to hard
All questions will float
Away and fly
Please be with me in every dream
Fly by my side I wait here forever
Don't be afraid hold on to me
Sing with your eyes
What you feel in your heart

Perfect Strangers
Perfect Strangers
Composer(s): Ritchie Blackmore; Ian Gillan; Roger Glover
Performer(s): Deep Purple
Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent
well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life (your tears are lost in
falling rain)
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers

Perfect Imperfection
Perfect Imperfection
Composer(s): Gabriel Paul Barrére; Tom Snow
Performer(s): Little Feat
There's a girl standin' on a corner
Watchin' love walk right out her door
Thought that love was like a shiny diamond
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw
Now she's lonely, standin' there for hours
Wishin' he would change his mind
Caught in that paradox of feelings
Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to feel so fine
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide
You know that there's no reason
For you to be alone
Just 'cause love's treason
Broke, broke you happy home
You can't celebrate
When all you feel is sufferin' heartache
Goin' down to that lonely corner
Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her
And tell her what I know of love
What I know, it ain't always so sweet
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide
Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't ya hide away, don't ya hide, don't ya hide

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
