You Shook Me All Night Long


You Shook Me All Night Long
Composer(s): Brian Johnson; Angus Young; Malcolm Young
Performer(s): AC/DC;
and various other artists



She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there

'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you

Shook me all night long

Working double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
She wanted no applause
Just another course
Made a meal out of me and came back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were making it and you

Shook me all night long

Sweet And Gentle


Sweet And Gentle
Composer(s): Otilio del Portal - George Thorn
Performer(s): Alan Dale
and multiple other artists



Ohhhhhhh I was sweet and gentle
(He was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental
(Kind of sentimental)
No one will deny it
(No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet
And then the magic night
I learned to do the cha cha
And now I'll never be the same
For I have turned into a dancing Cucaracha
And my muchacha is to blame
How can I be gentle
Sweet and sentimental
While the cha cha's playing
And my heart is swaying
I find that I am even dancing
when I'm walking
I'm haunted by that cha cha beat
I hear the rhythm start
When we are talking
I do the cha cha in my sleep

I was sweet and gentle
(He was sweet and gentle)
Kind of sentimental
(Kind of sentimental)
No one will deny it
(No one will deny it)
I was once so quiet
And then the magic night
I learned to do the cha cha
And now I'll never be the same
For I have turned into a dancing Cucaracha
And my muchacha is to blame

Please be sweet and gentle
(Please be sweet and gentle)
Treat me sentimental
(Treat him sentimental)
For I'm tempermental
(Cha cha cha cha)
When I cha cha with you
Cha cha cha, cha cha cha
Cha cha cha oooooooo

Sweet Amelia


Sweet Amelia
Composer(s): Aaron Neville - Gordon Chambers - Robbie Nevil - Bradley Spalter
Performer(s): Aaron Neville



Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
Never had a chance to say goodbye
I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery
She was there on Barron Street, down in New Orleans
So wild, but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane
She was only seventeen and Amelia was her name
Oh when I took her for a ride, she got close by my side
And when I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me hypnotized
But in my heart she fell, oh I got pulled into her spell
I can still see her there, with the flowers in her hair
Oh Amelia, my southern woman, oh my woman
I can still feel you, feel you, feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Never heard her say goodbye
I remember making love underneath the stars above
I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees
That night in the southern light, the girl she took me by the hand
I was weak as a little lamb, but I became a man
Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane
We rode all night in the rain, 'cross lake Poncetrain
She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire
I can still see her there, with flowers in her hair
Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to, where'd you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Never want to say goodbye
Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night
But I'll always remember her lips so warm and tender
And in my heart she'll always shine so bright
Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one more time
Oh Amelia, my southern woman
A southern woman,
I can still feel you, oh I can feel you, everytime I close my eyes, close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye (never, never, never, never never say goodbye)
Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, a southern woman
A southern woman
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes, from the bottom of my heart
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
Where did you run to
Where did you run to
We never had a chance to say goodbye

You Set My Heart On Fire


You Set My Heart On Fire
Composer(s): Appaiah Biddu
Performer(s): Tina Charles



Once my life was just a lonely room
With no one to take away my gloom
Waiting for someone to come and
fill my life with love
ooh sweet love

And set my heart on fire, fire
fire in the flame of love
higher higher
Than the stars above
I need someone to dive me in water water
that will make me strong
Oh I need somebody to burn me in the flame of love, yeah

Every cloud must have a silver lining
You came alone my knight in armor shining
All my life I've been knocking on doors
Now I'm so glad that door that opened was yours

You set my heart on fire, fire
fire with the flame of love
Oh you take me higher higher
Than the stars above
You got, you got to dive me in water water
that will make me strong
Oh pretty baby I'm burning at your flame of love, yeah
Oh pretty baby I'm burning, burning at your love
Oh pretty baby I'm burning, burning at your flame of love

Swayin' To The Music (Slow Dancin')


Swayin' To The Music (Slow Dancin')
Composer(s): Jack Tempchin
Performer(s): Johnny Rivers



It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music on the radio
No one's coming, no one's gonna telephone
Just me and you and the lights down low
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

And we just flow together when the lights are low
And shadows dancing across the wall
The music's playing so soft and slow
And the rest of the world so far away and small
And we're

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

Hold me, hold me
Don't ever let me go

As we dance together in the dark
There's so much love in this heart of mine
You whisper to me and I hold you tight
You're the one I thought I'd never find

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my girl
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
Just you, girl

You Saved My Soul


You Saved My Soul
Composer(s): Burton Cummings
Performer(s): Burton Cummings



We went together for so long
ev'ry second record on the radio seemed like our song
How we hurt each other; oh baby it was so wrong
something in the bottom of my heart will keep me holding on

'cause you saved my soul
you came along and took me out of the night time
Yeah you saved my soul
taught me to fly...and I gave my heart
and babe that's something that there's jut no returning
'cause if I have you now I'll never have to make it alone

We were lovers for so long
every second record on the radio seemed like our song
even though we're older, things we're feeling can't be all wrong
something in the bottom of my heart will keep me holding on

'cause you....(repeat chorus)
..............I'll never have to make it alone
Saved my soul; saved my soul
Saved my soul; saved my soul

You saved my soul....(repeat chorus)...
...............never have to make it alone

yes if I have you now I'll never have to make it alone
yes if I have you now I'll never have to make it alone

Sway
((Adapted from: Quién Será (by Pablo Beltrán Ruiz))

Composer(s): Pablo Beltrán Ruiz - Norman Gimbel
Performer(s): Dean Martin - 1954
and multiple other artists



When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak

I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now

You rhyme with everything that's beautiful
With angels, with moonlight, with heaven and stars
With rainbow and roses and island guitars
You are a perfect rhyme with all these things

You rhyme with everything that's beautiful

With summer, with springtime, with sunsets that glow
I'm not a great poet, but this much I know
You rhyme with everything, that's beautiful
You rhyme with everything, everything, my love

Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú
Dönsum thví, ég og thú
Svifum létt um gólfid til og frá
Töfrabrá, logathrá

Er thad draumur eda ert thú hér
Enn í kvöld, einn med mér
Armar thínir vekja ástarbál
Unadsmál, eld í sál

Dönsum saman uns dagurinn rís
Thótt thu dyljist thví minnist ég thin
Og thín hond leidir hond mína heim
Ut í hamingjugeim

Sérdu rúmbudansinn duna nú

Swansea Town

Performer(s): Max Boyce
and multiple other artists



I'm going home to Swansea town
The day is almost dawning
I'm going back to those sea port sounds
One lovely sea town morning

I'm going home to Swansea town,
To where those ways are brambled
'Neath the seatown sky, where seagulls fly
And as a boy I rambled

Long years ago I sailed away
The urge to roam came creeping
Yet somehow my heart got left behind
With a girl who stood there weeping

When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit awhile with me

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... to more than I can be

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... to more than I can be
You raise me up... to more than I can be
