You Tell Me Your Dream


You Tell Me Your Dream
Composer(s): Charles N. Daniels;
Albert H. Brown; Seymour Rice; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis;
and various other artists



All day today I was thinking
Of a time, a long time ago
When I told you I had a dream
And in my dream you wanted me for you

I couldn't tell you my secret
So I laughed and just shook my head
You didn't give up that easy
And I still hear the words that you said

You had a dream dear, I had one too
My dream was best, 'cause it was of you
Come sweetheart tell me, now is the time
You tell me your dream, I'll tell you mine

You said you dreamed I had promised
That someday we would be wed
And that was exactly like my dream
And I couldn't believe what you said

But now we're both so happy
Everything turned out fine
You tell me your dream, I'll tell you mine

----------


As recorded by The Ink Spots:



I had a dream, dear
You had one, too
Mine was the best dream
Because it was of you

Come, sweetheart, tell me
Now is the time
You tell me your dream
And I'll tell you mine

Monologue:
Darlin' I had a dream, dear
Ya know, I think you had one, too
But I KNOW mine was the BEST dream, ya know why?
Ha! 'cause it was of you
Come 'ere, baby
Why don't you tell me your dream?
Darlin', 'cause right now is the time
All you gotta do is tell me YOUR dream know what I'll do?
Baby, I'll tell you mine

I had a dream, dear
You had one, too
Mine was the best dream
Because it was of you

Come, sweetheart, tell me
Now is the time
You tell me your dream
And I'll tell you mine

Sweet Forget-Me-Nots


Sweet Forget-Me-Nots
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Roy Daniels



Fancy brings a thought to me
Of a flower bright and fair
Her grace and beauty both combine
More lovely and more rare
Like a maiden I once knew
Who shared my happy lot
Where we parted when she whispered
'You'll forget me not'

She's graceful and she's charming like the lilies in the pond
Time was gliding swiftly by, of her I'd grown so fond
The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot
Where we parted when she whispered 'You'll forget me not'

I must admit I don't know where
But it's really all the same
Love grows in the village street
And all around the lane
I gently took her tiny hand
A glance at me she shot
She dropped a flower
I picked it up
'Twas a sweet forget-me-not'

Then there came a happy day
When something that I said
Caused her lips to mumble 'Yes'
And shortly we were wed
Now a cottage by a lane
In a little garden spot
Grows a flower, you know it well
It's a sweet forget-me-not

You Tell Me Why


You Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Ron Elliott
Performer(s): The Beau Brummels; Leo Kottke



You tell me that I should not cry
You tell me "All good things must die"
You ask me why I get upset
You tell me that I will forget
Tell me why-eye-eye

You say I-I can't be blue for long
You say I'll find new love that's strong
You tell me she was not for me
It's just the way love has to be
Tell me why-eye-eye

Why I cannot see her
She won't let me see her

Te-ell, te-ell, tell me why

You tell me I will find my way
Tomorrow won't be like today
You tell me life was meant to be
One-third good, two-thirds misery
Tell me why-eye-eye

(instrumental to end)

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

Talk about things that nobody cares

Well I got good news she's a real good liar
'Cause her backstage a boogie set'chor pants on fire

Your daddy said I took you just a little too far
Ya tellin' me things but'chor girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died

I'll take you backstage you can drink from my glass
We'll talk about something you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eatin' from your hand

You Take The Table And I'll Take The Chairs


You Take The Table And I'll Take The Chairs
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): Bob Gallion;
June Webb; Miki and Griff; Claude Gray



So here we are breakin' up our home
To go our sep'rate ways all alone
Go take your love you just wouldn't share
You take the table and I'll take the chairs

Breaking up a home that was so sweet
Sorting out the things we want to keep
A perfect way to start a life of care
You take the table and I'll take the chairs

What a shame to see such pretty things
Seperated like our wedding rings
From the basement to the attic stair
You take the table and I'll take the chairs

Life is oh so useless since you're gone
All I do is sit and weep alone
With a heart that's too blue to bear
Since you took the table and I took the chairs

Sweet Eloise


Sweet Eloise
Composer(s): Mack David - Russ Morgan
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists



Sweet Eloise, sing the birds in the trees
When she is near you can hear them
Singing sweet melodies
They're just for my Eloise
(My Eloise)

Sweet Eloise is a beautiful sight
Old Mr. Moon comes around to
Look at her every night
Her smile's a warm summer breeze
(The smile of Eloise)

And though there may be clouds in the skies
There's always sunshine deep in her eyes
In case you didn't know, roses grow hopin' some day
They'll be pressed and caressed in her bouquet

Sweet Eloise is so lovely to love
You will agree she's the only girl
That you're dreamin' of
But you'll be wastin' your time
`Cause Eloise is all mine
(She's all mine)

Sweet Eloise is so lovely to love
That you will agree she's the only girl
That you're dreamin' of
But you'll be wastin' your time
`Cause Eloise is all mine
(So don't you give her a line `cause Eloise is all mine)

Sweet Dreams (Don Gibson)


Sweet Dreams
Composer(s): Don Gibson
First release by: Don Gibson - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists



Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You don't love me, it's plain
I should know I'll never wear your ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You Stole My Bell


You Stole My Bell
Composer(s): Elvis Costello; Cait O'rjordan
Performer(s): Elvis Costello



There is a place
Underneath the staircase
Where I keep the evidence
Of what once would offer peace
In a deep blue velvet box filled with joy and pride
Should I pick the locks?
Should I peek inside?
Can I stand the sight of those happy days?
Should I strike a match, burn them all away?

Cos you stole my bell
And you broke my chime
And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you (x2)

So here we are
But it's not quite like we thought
Those things were priceless then
Now I know they can't be bought
In a deep blue velvet box fastened with a pin
Should I lift the lid?
Should I look within?
Was it my last chance or my first mistake?
Is it just a step that we'll never take?

Cos you stole my bell
And you broke my chime
And the clock spins round but it won't keep time
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much I love you

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?

Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

You Stepped Out Of A Dream


You Stepped Out Of A Dream
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Tony Martin;
and various other artists



You
Stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful
To be what you seem

Could there be eyes like yours?
Could there be lips like yours?
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?

You
Stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart

~interlude~

You
Stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away
Away from the crowd
And have you all to myself
Alone and apart
Out of a dream
Safe into my heart ...
Wa-dee-la-la
Out of a dream!

Déprime

Composer(s): Annie Lennox - Dave Stewart - Michel Mallory
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan - 1983



Déprime à quoi tu rimes
Avec ton parfum d'aspirine
Ne perds pas ton temps
Plus rien ne me mine
J'ai le moral et les idées clean
C'est lui ma médecine
Mon antidote, le remède a tout
Rien ne me contamine
J'ai le sourire à l'épreuve de tout

Déprime à quoi tu rimes
Avec ses joies que tu abimes
Passe ton chemin, tu as mauvaise mine
Ton image de marque décline

Ca va pas? Qu'est-ce que t'as?
Tout va bien!
Ca va pas? Très très bien!
Qu'est-ce que t'as?
Tout va bien!
Ca va pas?
Très très bien!
Qu'est-ce que t'as?
Tout va bien!
Ca va pas!
Tout va bien!
Qu'est-ce que t'as?

C'est lui ma médecine
Son amour c'est le remède à tout
Déprime je te réprime
Dans ton jeu, tu n'as plus un atout

Déprime t'as plus la prime
Je te renvoie dans ton abime
Tu n'as plus de quoi faire de la frime
J'ai le moral et les idées cleans

Déprime à quoi tu rimes
Avec ses joies que tu abimes
Passe ton chemin, tu as mauvaise mine
Ton image de marque décline

Déprime je te réprime
avec ton …

Composer(s): Neil Diamond
First release by: Neil Diamond - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline

You Should Hear How She Talks About You


You Should Hear How She Talks About You
Composer(s): Tom Snow; Dean Pitchford
Performer(s): Melissa Manchester



She's so very nice you should break the ice
Let her know that she's on your mind
Whatcha tryin' to hide when you know inside
She's the best thing you'll ever find?
Ahh, can't you see it?
Don't you think she's feeling the same?
Ahh, I guarantee it
She's the one that's calling your name

Chorus:
You should hear how she talks about you
You should hear what she says
She says she would be lost without you
She's half out of her head (out of her head)
You should hear how she talks about you
She just can't get enough
She says she would be lost without you
She is really in love

(spoken) She's in love with you boy

I ain't tellin' tales, anybody else
Could repeat the things that I've heard
She's been talkin' sweet and it's on the street
How our girlfriend's spreadin' the word

Ahh, you should hurry
You should let her know how you feel
Ahh, now don't you worry
If you're scared this love is for real

You should hear how she talks about you
You should hear what she says
She says she would be lost without you
She's half out of her head (out of her head)
You should hear how she talks about you
She is really in love
(She is really in love)

Ahh, you should hurry
You should let her know how you feel
Ahh, now don't you worry
If you're scared this love is for real

Chorus

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk

Can'tcha see? (Can'tcha see?)
It's me!

Chorus

Entourée de rêve et d'amour

Vous pleurez?

Près de vous
Loin de tout
Avec vous
Regardez

Gardez votre coeur d'enfant

Vous retrouverez le temps d'être aimée

Composer(s): Lewis Bellin; Redd Evans; Edna Osser
Performer(s): Doris Day;
and various other artists



You should have told me
You love someone else
Before I fell in love with you
You should have told me
You care for another
Before you broke my heart in two
It was wrong when you thrilled me
With your kiss so divine
You knew when you kissed me
You would never be mine
So you should have told me
You loved someone else
Before I fell in love with you

Sweet Blindness


Sweet Blindness
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
First release by: Laura Nyro - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



Let's go down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, get happy
Down by the grapevine, drink my daddy's wine, get happy, happy
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Four leaves on a clover, I'm just a bit of a shade hung over
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?

Down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, good morning
Down by the grapevine, drink my Daddy's wine, good morning, morning
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Please don't tell my mother, I'm a saloon and a moonshine lover
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?

Don't ask me cause I ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
ain't gonna tell you what I've been drinking
wine of wonder, wonder, (by the way)
Oh, sweet blindness, a little magic, a little kindness
Oh, sweet blindness, all over me
Don't let daddy hear it, he don't believe in the gin mill spirit
Don't let daddy hear it, he don't believe in the gin mill spirit
Come on baby, do a slow float you're a good looking riverboat
and ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?
Now, ain’t that sweet eyed blindness good to me?
