Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise


Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Sigmund Romberg First performance: William O'Neal - 1928 Covered by multiple other artists



Love came to me Gay and tender Love came to me Sweet surrender Love came to me In bright romantic splendor Fickle was she Faithful never Fickle was she And clever So will it be – forever – forever Softly, as in a morning sunrise The light of love comes stealing Into a new born day -- oh Flaming with all the glow of sunrise A burning kiss is sealing The vow that all betray For the passions that thrill love And lift you high to heaven Are the passions that kill love And let you fall to hell So ends the story Softly, as in an evening sunset The light that gave you glory Will take it all away

Pretty Little Black Eyed Susie


Pretty Little Black Eyed Susie
Composer(s): Kathleen Twomey; Fred Wise; Benjamin Weisman
Performer(s): Guy Mitchell



I love the sea, I love the navy
Love my biscuits soaked in gravy
But pretty little black eyed Susie
But pretty little black eyed Susie
Cross my heart I love ya best of all

I love the hills, I love the prairie
I love Jane, and I love Mary
But pretty little black eyed Susie
But pretty little black eyed Susie
Cross my heart I love ya best of all

I'm as happy as a king
Got the world upon a string
Can't ask for more
I'm right at heaven's door

Ooooh! I used to do a lot of teasin'
Changed my gals with ev'ry season
But pretty little black eyed Susie
But pretty little black eyed Susie
Pretty little black eyed Susie I love you

I love my pipe, I love tomaters
I love candied sweet pertaters
But pretty little black eyed Susie
But pretty little black eyed Susie
Cross my heart I love ya best of all

Oh! I love the trees, I love the flowers
Love to walk through April showers
But pretty little black eyed Susie
But pretty little black eyed Susie
Cross my heart I love ya best of all

Used to say I'd never wed
Those were foolish words I said
`cos now I see
That you were meant for me

Ooooh! I used to be a guy who gambled
I had wand'rin' shoes that rambled
But pretty little black eyed Susie
But pretty little black eyed Susie
Cross my heart my rambl'in' days are through
Pretty little black eyed Susie I love you
My pretty little black eyed Susie I love you

Amour On T'aime


Amour On T'aime
Composer(s): Alain Morisod - Pierre Alain
First performance by: Arlette Zola - 1982



Love we love you
On peut traverser la mer, voler autour de la Terre
Courir l'aventure, chercher de l'or
On peut quitter sa patrie
Refaire son nez et sa vie
Il nous faut l'amour d'abord

Amour, on t'aime, mieux que nous-mêmes
Mieux que l'argent, la politique et les chansons
Et quand bien même tu nous enchaînes
On a l'cœur qui bat comme les ailes d'un papillon

On peut croire au fantastique
Avoir des goûts éclectiques
Penser Rossini ou Travolta
On peut faire de la vitesse, du yoga ou du business
Sans amour, ce n'est pas ça

Amour, on t'aime, malgré nous-mêmes
Tu nous balances comme des voiliers aux quatre vents
Et quand bien même, tu tiens les rênes
On se sent libre et l'on plane comme des goélands

Amour, on t'aime, malgré nous-mêmes
Tu nous entraînes comme des poissons dans l'océan
Pourtant on aime, comme tu nous mènes
C'est un peu fou, mais on ne peut vivre autrement

Amour, on t'aime, mieux que nous-mêmes
Mieux que l'argent, la politique et les chansons
Amour, on t'aime, amour en s'aime
On a les yeux tout pleins de rire et de lampions
On a l'cœur qui bat comme les ailes d'un papillon

Softly Whispering I Love You


Softly Whispering I Love You
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): Paul Young
and multiple other artists



Softly, whispering I love you
echoes of your voice are calling still through my dreams
softening the chill of the breeze

Through my window
I can see the moonglow
painting silver shadows on a rose-colored land

A world that we walk hand in hand
in a day of gold
colored by the glow of new love

Oh, Woman, I can feel your warm face ever close to my lips
and the scent of you invades the cool evening air

I can close my eyes and you´re there in my arms still
and I know your soft kiss
turning into music every beat of my heart

When I hold you close to my heart
and I hear your voice
whispering I love you

Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes


Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes
Performer(s): The Merry Macs



When she walks along
On the street fellows shout
"Here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"

You can hear 'em shout
Every time she goes out
"Here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"

But she looks at no boy
She's lonely in New York
'Cause she loves a doughboy
Named Johnny O'Rourke

That's why she'll never
Hear anyone till he'll shout
"I'm here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"

Nuku Pommiin


Nuku Pommiin
First performance by: Kojo - 1982



Jos joku nakkaa ydinkakkaa kohta tänne Eurooppaamme
Niin mitä haastat, kun kaikki saastat sieltä kasvoillemme saamme
Jos joku viskaa pommin niskaan, niin sä tuskin huomaatkaan

(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)

Pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa

Liian kauan haaveillen nukuit alla taivaiden
Tukkaasi raastat vaan, käy neuvottelemaan

(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)

Ja nuku pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa

Nyt jengi istuu, osallistuu neuvotteluseurantaan
Tieteen aivot ja toisten raivot, punoo salajuoniaan
Jos et sä herää tällä erää, niin et herää ollenkaan

(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)

Nuku pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa

Pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa

Pretty Irish Girl


Pretty Irish Girl
Composer(s): Lawrence Edward Watkin; Oliver Wallace
Performer(s): Sean Connery;
and various other artists



Have you ever seen the seagulls
A-flyin' o'er the heather
Or the crimson sails on Galway Bay
The fishermen unfurl

Oh, the earth is filled with beauty
And its gathered all together
In the form and face and dainty grace
Of a pretty Irish girl

Oh, she's my dear, my darlin' one
Her eyes so sparklin' full of fun
No other, no other
Can match the likes of her

She's my dear, my darlin' one
My smilin' and beguilin' one
I love the ground she walks upon
My pretty Irish girl

Have you ever seen the morning in
Kerry and Killarny
When the dew is on the hayrick
And ev'ry drop a pearl

When the geese are full of blarney
And the thrush is singing Gaelic
And standing in the doorway
Is a Pretty Irish Girl

Oh, she's my dear, my darlin' one
Her eyes so sparklin' full of fun
No other, no other
Can match the likes of her

She's my dear my darlin' one
My smilin' and beguilin' one
I love the ground she walks upon
My pretty Irish girl

When I'm parted from my darlin'
My sighs would sail a schooner
And when I cannot reach her, sure
My tears would turn a mill

Since she cannot be unkind
To any helpless creature
I think that I will marry me
A pretty Irish Girl

Oh, she's my dear, my darlin' one
Her eyes so sparklin' full of fun
No other, no other
Can match the likes of her

She's my dear my darlin' one
My smilin' and beguilin' one
I love the ground she walks upon
My pretty Irish girl

Softly As I Leave You


Softly As I Leave You
(Adapted from: Piano - 1960)
Composer(s): Antonio DeVita - Giorgio Calabrese - Hal Shaper
Performer(s): Matt Monro - 1962
and multiple other artists



Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break
if you should wake and see me go

So I leave you softly
long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour
or one more day

After all the years, I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there

Softly, long before you kiss me
Long before your arms can beg me stay
For one more hour
or one more day

After all the years
I can't bear the tears to fall
So, softly as I leave you there
As I leave I you there
As I leave I you there

Pretty Girl


Pretty Girl
Performer(s): Hogsnort Rupert's Original Flagon Band



The other day as I made my way
I heard the music start to play
Happy sound, people all around
I knew that I was here to stay
Suddenly, by the tree, goodness me...

Chorus:
Pretty girl, can I take you home
On a bright and sunny morning?
We danced all night in the pale moonlight
And now the day is dawning

She worked all week in a disco-teek
She looked at me but she didn't speak
The beat was good, and I knew I should
Have brought an extra pair of feet
What a day, so I say, hip-hooray!...
Chorus

"Come on, my lover, give us a kiss!"
(Boom boom boom boom)
Chorus

I had to weep, 'cause I had to keep
On dancing in a tired heap
The only sound was the aching ground
The band had all gone home to sleep
Day had come, gone the sun, oh what fun.....
Chorus x2

One Step Further


One Step Further
Composer(s): Simon Jefferies
First performance by: Bardo - 1982



One step further and I would have been there

Can't seem to get your attention no matter how I try
I just want you to prefer me to the other guys
So when you looked at me, you only turned away
So I walked up beside you
But I forgot all the things that I planned to say
I don't know if I tried to

I could have taken one step further
And I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been there

Ain't got the courage to speak when you're sometimes near
Well I can't seem to think of the things that a girl likes to hear
But when I saw you again, you were all alone
So I walked up beside you
But I was too shy to even ask you home
I don't know if I tried to

I could have taken one step further
And I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been there

If you read my letters or my telegrams
You'd have got around to asking me just who I am
'Cause you know I'm gonna get ya
I'm gonna get ya, I'm gonna get ya

One step further and I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been...

One step further and I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere

One step further and I would have been there
You could have turned around
And hit me and I wouldn't have cared
All this time I didn't get anywhere
I could have taken one step further
And I would have been...

(One step further and I would have been there)
I could have tooken one step further
(One step further and I would've been there)
One step, one step

Pretty Folks


Pretty Folks
Performer(s): Nash The Slash



The sidewalk surface was dancing with tricks
In mad whirling circles they look for kicks
They book each other like drugs do their blood
And draw trumps and tramps when they're playing stud

And they're pretty folks, pretty folks bending the trend
Pretty folks, pretty folks, they'll never mend

Splitting their cells, looking for pills
They blow their change and they don't pay their bills
Modified modular spandex decay
Flocks of flash zeros with nothing to say

Chorus

In funhouse mirrors they don't seem to age
As they decompose in memory's cage
But total loss is not something to hide
When the last big sleep has started inside

Chorus

Softly


Softly
Composer(s): Neal Schon - Bob Marlette - Gregg Rolie - Glen Burtnik
Performer(s): Neal Schon



Soon the sun will shine into this window
Find your body laying next to mine
The world outside will wake up all around us
So kiss me while there's still a little time
It gives me the strength to face another day
When I hold you in my arms
(Softly)
When I hear you call my name
(Softly)
The tears fall, the tears fall like gentle rain
(Softly)
Softly in the morning light
(Softly)
You touch me and it feels so right

When the day dissolves into darkness
Nightfalls as far as you can see
Then I'll try to leave behind the madness
Once again you will come to me
It gives me the strength to know you belong to me
Give me all of your love

(Softly)
When I hear you call my name
(Softly)
The tears fall like gentle rain
(Softly)
Softly in the candlelight
(Softly)
You touch me and it feels so right
(Softly)
When I hear you call my name
(Softly)
The tears fall like gentle rain
(Softly)
Softly in the candlelight
(Softly)
We're deep in love forever
(Softly)
We're deep in love
(Softly)...

Pretty Flamingo


Pretty Flamingo
Composer(s): Mark Barkan
Performer(s): Manfred Mann;
and various other artists



On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
'Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the sky
When she walks she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
'Cause paradise is where I'll be

Pretty flamingo
Pretty flamingo

When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could ha
If she just would

Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
'Cause paradise is where I'll be

Sha la la, la la la la
Pretty Flamingo

Adieu


Adieu
Composer(s): Jahn Teigen - Herodes Falsk
First performance by: Jahn Teigen & Anita Skorgan - 1982



Si meg, hva betyr adieu?
Er det bare trist, no' som sårer deg?
Tro meg, vi skal ta adieu
Ikke sånn som sist, da jeg gikk fra deg
Jeg vil alltid huske deg som en venn
Om vi aldri mere ses igjen

Vi har våre minner, de vil aldri dø
Nå er tiden inne til å si adieu

Si meg, hva betyr adieu?
Kan det ha verdi om alt er forbi?
Tro meg, vi skal ta adieu
Vise kjærlighet om vi skilles helt
Jeg vil alltid huske deg som en venn
Om vi aldri mere ses igjen

Vi har våre minner, de vil aldri dø
Nå er tiden inne til å si adieu
Adieu

Pretty City Lady


Pretty City Lady
Composer(s): Bob McBride
Performer(s): Bob McBride



You're my lovely, pretty city lady
Take my hand and hold it gently like a rose
You are everthing that has a meaning
Like a sunny day with no clouds in the sky
All the gentleness that you believe in
Go with you like the wings of a butterfly

Love is flowin', always growin', baby
Softer than a candle when it glows
You are like the river running through the forest
Giving all you can and you don't ask why
Everything that's beautiful and bright
Go with you like the wings of a butterfly

Lovely, lovely, pretty city lady
Living in the country in your mind
Lying in a field full of flowers
Watching as the bluebird passes by
All the gentleness that you believe in
Go with you like the wings of a butterfly

All the gentleness that you believe in
Go with you like the wings of a butterfly

Soft Summer Breeze


Soft Summer Breeze
Composer(s): Eddie Heywood - Judy Spencer
Performer(s): Eddie Heywood
and multiple other artists



Soft summer breeze, lazy old stream
Cotton clouds up high
Boy and girl in love, hearts up to the sky

Whispering trees add to the theme
Gentle lullabye
Boy and girl in love, Christmas in July

Let folks talk about Romeo and Juliet
Kid stuff can't compare
To the day when we first met

All through the years we will recall
Moments sweet like these
How it all began with a soft summer breeze

Pretty Boy Floyd


Pretty Boy Floyd
Composer(s): Woody Guthrie
Performer(s): Woody Guthrie



If you'll gather 'round me children
A story I will tell
Of Pretty Boy Floyd an outlaw
Oklahoma knew him well
It was in the town of Shawnee
It was Saturday afternoon
His wife beside him in his wagon
As into town they rode
There a deputy sheriff approached him
In a manner rather rude
Using vulgar words of language
And his wife she overheard
Pretty Boy grabbed a log chain
And the deputy grabbed a gun
And in the fight that followed
He laid that deputy down

He took to the trees and timbers
And he lived a life of shame
Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name
Yes, he took to the trees and timbers
On that Canadian River's shore
And Pretty Boy found a welcome
At a many a farmer's door

There's a many a starving farmer
The same old story told
How this outlaw paid their mortgage
And saved their little home
Others tell you 'bout a stranger
That come to beg a meal
And underneath his napkin
Left a thousand dollar bill

It was in Oklahoma City
It was on a Christmas Day
There come a whole car load of groceries
With a letter that did say
You say that I'm an outlaw
You say that I'm a thief
Here's a Christmas dinner
For the families on relief

Now as through this world I ramble
I see lots of funny men
Some will rob you with a Six gun
And some with a fountain pen
But as through your life you travel
As through your life you roam
You won't never see an outlaw
Drive a family from their home

Cours Après Le Temps


Cours Après Le Temps
Composer(s): Cyril Assous - Michel Jouveaux
First performance by: Svetlana - 1982



Cours après le temps, cours après l'argent
Cours sans t'arrêter si tu veux gagner
Cours après la gloire, va vers la victoire
Cours sans regarder ceux qui sont tombés

(Cours après le temps, cours après l'argent)
Ce jeu doit courir tout le temps, à quoi me servira l'argent?
(Cours sans t'arrêter si tu veux gagner)
Et le temps comme on l'attrapait, si je ne le vois pas passer
(Cours après la gloire, va vers la victoire)
Ce n'est pas très glorieux, la gloire, ça disparaît dans le miroir
(Cours sans regarder ceux qui sont tombés)
Et souvent pour y arriver, tout nos esprit à garder

Cours de cur en cur, cours vers le bonheur
Il y a trop d'amour pour vivre un amour
Cours sans te soucier du mal que tu fais
Il faut être fou pour vivre à genoux

(Cours de cur en cur, cours vers le bonheur)
Je n'ai pas le cur assez fort pour pouvoir battre des records
(Il y a trop d'amour pour vivre un amour)
Et meme s'il est un peu trop grand, un seul amour il sent dedans
(Cours sans te soucier du mal que tu fais)
Je n'ai jamais connu la haine, je ne sais pas faire de la peine
(Il faut être fou pour vivre à genoux)
Et s'il existait d'autre fou, il me donne rendez-vous

Cours après le temps, moi j'ai tout le temps
Au tableau d'honneur, on brûle son cur

La la la la la… la la la la la…
Toi tu veux gagner, moi je vais aimer

(La la la la la… la la la la la…)
