Put A Little Love In Your Heart
Composer(s): Jackie DeShannon; Jimmy Holiday; Randy Myers
Performer(s): Jackie DeShannon
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see it's getting late
Oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
Another day goes by
Still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart
If you want the world to know
We won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
All the world (all the world) will be a better place
For you (for you)
And me (and me)
You just wait (just wait)
And see, wait and see
Take a good look around
And if you're looking down
Put a little love in your heart
I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
And the world (and the world) will be a better place
For you (for you)
And me (and me)
You just wait (just wait)
And see
People, now put a little love in your heart
Each and every day
Put a little love in your heart
There's no other way
Put a little love in your heart
It's up to you
Put a little love in your heart
C'mon and
Put a little love in your heart

Pushover
Pushover
Composer(s): Tony Clarke; Billy Davis
Performer(s): Etta James;
Gloria Edwards; Gina Sicilia
So you told all the boys that you were gonna take me out
Ya even ya even had the nerve to make a bet a yes you did
That I, I would give in all of my love you would win
But you haven't, you haven't won it yet
You took me for a pushover
Oh, you thought I was a pushover
Whoa, I'm not a push over
You thought my love was easy to get
All of the girls think you're fine
They even call ya Romeo
Ya got 'em, yeah, you got 'em runnin' to and fro
Yes ya have
But I don't want a one night thrill
I want a love that's for real
And I can tell by your line, yours is not the lasting kind
You took me for a push over
Oh, you thought I was a pushover
Whoa, I'm not a push over
You thought that you could change my mind
Your temptin' lips (Mmm hmm) your wavy hair (Oh yeah)
Your pretty eyes with that (Ahh...) come hither stare
It makes me weak and I, I start to bend
And then I stop and think again
No (No), no (No), no don't let yourself go
I hate to spoil your reputation
I want true love not an imitation
And I'm hip to every word in your conversation
Who took me for a...pushover
Whoa, I'm not a...pushover
Whoa, you thought I was a...pushover
Whoa, you can't (Push me over)
Nobody is gonna (Push me over)
Oh, you're not man enough to (Push me over)
Everybody thought you was gonna (Push me over)

Song To See You Through
Song To See You Through
Composer(s): Tom Johnston
Performer(s): The Doobie Brothers
Sometimes I can't see past a day
I know I'm growin' tired and I feel it, yeah
And the song that I sing when the notes begin to ring
it's hard for my head to get into the melody, yeah
Day to day, I tell you, day by day
I see faces all around me
When they start to smile, I just stop for a while
and I say baby, let me love you
A small town store with an old wooden floor
The old man inside sellin' dried goods
has a smile on his face, don't you know that's hard to replace
I bet he's gonna live to be a hundred, yeah
Day to day, I tell you, day by day
I see faces all around me
When they start to smile I just stop for a while
and I say baby, let me love you
Summer is hot, and the winter is cold
people all doin' just what they're told
It's too bad, it's too sad
Thinkin' for yourself is a hard thing to do
well, don't you know they're depending on you
to see them through, yeah, to see them through?
It's the only thing you can do
you know you got to see them through
Day to day, I tell ya, day by day
I'm seein' faces all around me
When you start to smile, I just stop for a while
And I say baby, let me know you
Shinin' my light like a candle so bright
show me the way to my future, yeah
With your hand on my face take me far from this place
honey, I'll be the key to your heavenly door
Hear me baby, calling to you now
don't you know now, baby
well, their countin' on you
See me baby, reachin' for you, for you
reachin' out for you, baby
don't you see me reachin' out for you?
Hear me baby
Hear me callin' to you
don't you know now, baby
that they're countin' on you
to see them through
Hear me baby, oh, hear me baby, but you
don't you see me reachin' for you
all night long I need you baby
Hear me baby, oh, can't you hear me
callin' out to your name
See me baby, reachin' out for you, reachin' out for you
gotta get to you, near you mama
Hear me baby, callin' your name
Don't you know that I'm countin' on you
to see me through, yeah
Hear me baby, callin' to you, now, now
Hear me baby, baby, I'm countin' on you to see me through, now
Reachin' for you, ah, reachin' for you, baby
Got to reach out for you now
'cause you got to see your baby though

Purple Robe
Purple Robe
Composer(s): Odell McLeod
Performer(s): The Stanley Brothers;
and various other artists
There's a story so unkind in the Holy book we find
And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day
False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all
And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek
Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand
The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Words of truth that day were plain from the lips of Pilot came
In this man I find no reason He should die
But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
And my River Of Jordan that will be

Verliebt In Dich
Verliebt In Dich
Composer(s): Cheyenne Stone
First performance by: Stone & Stone - 1995
Manchmal, wenn ich ratlos bin
Und mein Glaube sich verirrt
Tief in mir die Trauer brennt
Jage nur hinter Träumen her
Ist mein Leben endlos leer?
Finde keinen Frieden mehr
Sehnsucht schreit, Geborgenheit
Doch du bist da neben mir
Hey!
Kennst du das Gefühl?
Du bist allein und die Seele friert
Mensch sein ist so schwer
Traue Deinem Engel tief in dir
Glaub' mir, ich steh' zu dir
Du allein bist der Grund dafür
Ich fühle dich nah, so nah bei mir
Fängst alle meine Tränen auf
Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich
Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären
Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht
Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich
Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären
Erinnerung bleibt und erzählt von dir
Allein du bist der Grund dafür
Angst, ich lass dich weiter ziehen
Hab' dich oft genug erkannt
Ich weiß, mir kann jetzt nichts passieren
Trage ein Herz voll Licht in mir
Stille Nacht, ich traue dir
Für mich gibt es keine Zweifel mehr
Kann dich niemals mehr verlieren
Ein Traum wird wahr, nur mit dir
Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich
Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären
Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht
Oh Lord, bin verliebt in dich
Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären
Erinnerung bleibt und erzählt von dir
Allein du bist der Grund dafür
Du kannst meine Seele sehen
All das Licht in ihr gehört nur dir
Oh... bin verliebt in dich
Kann mich nicht wehren, nicht zu erklären
Was zwischen Himmel und Erde geschieht
Bin so verliebt in dich
Bin so verliebt in dich

Song To A Seagull
Song To A Seagull
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Buffy Sainte-Marie - 1967
and multiple other artists
Fly silly seabird
No dreams can possess you
No voices can blame you
For sun on your wings
My gentle relations
Have names they must call me
For loving the freedom
Of all flying things
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach out of cry
I came to the city
And lived like old Crusoe
On an island of noise
In a cobblestone sea
And the beaches were concrete
And the stars paid a light bill
And the blossoms hung false
On their store window trees
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach out of cry
Out of the city
And down to the seaside
To sun on my shoulders
And wind in my hair
But sandcastles crumble
And hunger is human
And humans are hungry
For worlds they can't share
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach out of cry
I call to a seagull
Who dives to the waters
And catches his silver-fine
Dinner alone
Crying where are the footprints
That danced on these beaches
And the hands that cast wishes
That sunk like a stone
My dreams with the seagulls fly
Out of reach out of cry

Purple Lips
Purple Lips
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico
He reminds all the laughter
That has left me going down
And my heart is falling silently
Into the driving evening sound
Sometimes we must keep from bringing
Certain thoughts up to the light
And a matter of the winning
In a case of two lips lies
I have been looking out for him
From over this broken bridge
The safest place it seems to be
To ever reach his purple lips

Dreamin' (Eddie Friel)
Dreamin'
Composer(s): Richard Abbot - Barry Woods
First performance by: Eddie Friel - 1995
Dreamin'
Dreamin' on a silver sea of moonlight
Magic fills the night
Melodies alight, when I'm dreamin'
Dreamin'
Dreamin' how I love this nowhere feelin'
Round and round I go
Shadows soft and low, when I'm dreamin'
You can sail on any ocean
Dream an easy melody
Moonlight magic shines so gently
Moonlight magic harmony
Night time slips away in silence
(Dreamin')
And daylight steals across my silver sea
And goodbye dreamin' in the moonlight
(Goodbye)
Sleepy wake up to reality
Lalala...
Lala lala lala lala lalala...
Lala la lala...
Underneath the stars, dreamin'
Far away a blue horizon
Driftin' on the midnight sea
Moonlight magic shines so gently
Moonlight magic harmony
(Dreamin')
(Lala lala lala lala lalala...)
Sleepy wake up to reality
(Dreamin')

Purple Haze
Purple Haze
Composer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Performer(s): Jimi Hendrix
Purple Haze was in my brain
lately things don't seem the same
actin' funny but I don't know why
'scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple Haze all around
don't know if I'm coming up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Purple Haze was in my eyes
don't know if it's day or night
you've got me blowing, blowing my mind
is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one
Me and you
Are subject to
The blues now and then
But when you
Take the blues
And make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again
Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing
But you can sing
It with a cry in your voice
And before you know
Start to feeling good
You simply got no choice
Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Purple Dancer
Composer(s): Danny Kirwan; John McVie; Mick Fleetwood
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
I love the purple dancer
Dancing in the space of...time
She can surely know the answer
Standing in the steps of...mine
Will I need her
Will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound
Must I stay a minute longer
Eyes bewitching me does more
Tries to keep me from my wonder
Knowing her, now I must go
Will I need her
Will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound
I love the purple dancer
Dancing in the space of...time
She can surely know the answer
Standing in the steps of...mine
Will I need her
Will I wonder
Will I fall down to the ground
Is it love that is the answer
Will she lift me to the sound
I won't stay a minute longer
Eyes bewitching me does more
Tries to keep me from my wonder
Knowing her, now I must go

Guardami e si vede

Il fatto e' qui non ci capiamo piu'

Ma guando il sole muore
Nei tuoi occhi
Non puo' sorridere piu'

Ci troveremo ancora
Ma ora e' troppo tardi amore mio
Ti devo dire addio

Composer(s): Peter Barakan; Yukihiro Takahashi
Performer(s): Yellow Magic Orchestra
This must be the ugliest piece of bread
I've ever eaten
Wrapped in a foil-like substance
It's an unidentified object
Shapelessly square
God it's so ugly
(Jam desho)
I wonder why
Maybe the answer lies
(Sore jam desho, dozo)
In the thickness or the size

Hobo's Lullaby
Hobo's Lullaby
Composer(s): Goebel Reeves
Performer(s): Goebel Reeves
and multiple other artists
Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's the hobo's lullaby
Do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all the wind and snow
I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is turning grey
Lift your face and smile at trouble
You'll find peace and rest some day
I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You won't find no policemen there
Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's the hobo's lullaby
