Starlight Starbright


Starlight Starbright
Composer(s): J. Marascalco
Performer(s): Lonnie Lee & The Leemen



Starlight, starbright
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Shine down on me
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Bring back my baby
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Back home to me
(Doo doo wop)

First star I see
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
In the heavens tonight
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Bring back my baby
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
To hold me tight
(Doo doo wop)

I know this waiting, it never ends
Down on his knees
But I'll keep waiting until the day
You come back to me

Starlight, starbright
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Please hear my plea
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Bring back my baby
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Back home to me
(Doo doo wop)

(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)

(Bring back my baby
Back home to me)

I know this waiting, it never ends
Down on his knees
But I'll keep waiting until the day
You come back to me

Starlight, starbright
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Please hear my plea
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Bring back my baby
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Back home to me
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)

Bring back my baby
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)
Back home to me
(Doo doo wop, doo doo wop)

Hi-De-Ho


Hi-De-Ho
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin; Carole King
Performer(s): Blood, Sweat & Tears;
and various other artists



Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'
Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

I've been down so low
Bottom looked like up
Once I thought that seconds saves
Was enough to fill my cup

So I proffered all I got
But it ain't no way to live
Being taken by the ones who got
The least amount to give

Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'
Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

Once I met the Devil
He was mighty slick
Tempted me with worldly goods
Said; you can have your pick

But when he laid that paper on me
And he showed me where to sign
I said thank you very kindly
But I'm in too great a need of mine

Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'
Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'
Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

Hi de Ho, Hi de Hi
Gonna get me a piece of the sky
Gonna get me some of that
Old sweet roll, singin'...

Hi de hi de, hi de hi de, ho...

If We All Give A Little


If We All Give A Little
Composer(s): Ralph Siegel - Bernd Meinunger
First performance by: Six4One - 2006



Everybody has a dream
What will come and what will be
And hopes it soon will be reality

But a dream is not enough
There's so much we gotta do
To overcome that bitter blue

'Cause we all know one hand alone
Can never move a rock of stone
It takes us all, me and you

If we all give a little
If we all give a little
We can make this world a home for everyone
If we all give a little
We can dry a million tears
And some hope will grow out of many fears

Everybody has some strength
They could spend on someone weak
Don't let life be a game of hide and seek

Everyone has things to give
To someone just to carry on
A little help to overcome

We all have learned a word alone
Will never touch a heart of stone
It takes much more, more of us

If we all give a little
If we all give a little
We can make this world a home for everyone
If we all give a little (If we all)
We can dry a million tears (Give a little)
And some hope will grow out of many fears

If we give a little love
Just believe it's really worth
Many million hearts are beating on this earth

If we all give a little
If we all give a little
We can make this world a home for everyone
(For everyone)
If we all give a little
We can dry a million tears

And some hope will grow (It will grow forever)
Out of many fears (If we stand together)
If we give a little, just a little
(If we give a little love)
Give a little love

If we all give a little
(Just a little love)
All give a little
(A little) love

Hideaway


Hideaway
Composer(s): Steve Harley
Performer(s): Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel



Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway
Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway

It was summer or maybe spring, I can't remember
It was summer or maybe spring, I can't recall
We found our hearts and stole them from our bodies
(We couldn't understand the Villain's call)
We'd often recall the beginnings
We'd often try in vain to change it all
We couldn't help but keep ourselves from sinning
In summer, in summer or maybe spring, or maybe spring, or maybe spring

Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway
Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway

It was summer or maybe spring, I can't remember
It was summer or maybe spring, I can't recall
We'd try to always calm our elders
(But always we did seems to fall)
We'd never try to tame the burning embers
(It didn't seem to matter how we'd fare)
It seemed we couldn't ever escape December
But it was summer, summer, or maybe spring, or maybe spring, maybe spring

Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway
Let them come a-running, take all your money and flee
Let them come a-running, take all your money and hideaway, hideaway

Hide Your Heart


Hide Your Heart
Composer(s): Desmond Child; Paul Stanley; Holly Knight
Performer(s): Ace Frehley;
and various other artists



Johnny saw her ridin' on a streetcar named "desire"
His fate was sealed
She could see him comin' like a hundred other liars
It was no big deal
Rosa had a lover on the shady side of town
Tito, he was king of the streets
She was his possession like a jewel on his crown
Johnny better run, better run?
Better hide your heart
Better hold on tight
Better say your prayers
Cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart
Cause you're playing with fire
The ride was over but the story doesn't end
He took her heart
She looked him in the eye
And said they couldn't meet again
You could see the trouble start
The word went out that Rosa's missing with someone
It was on the street
Tito looked for Johnny with a vengeance and a gun
Johnny better run, better run?
Johnny's holding Rosa on a rooftop in the night
As time stood still
They couldn't hear him coming
Till he had them both in sight
You could feel the chill
A shot rang out like thunder
And the blood was on her hands
With nothing won
When someone lies there dying
Lovers finally understand

Quand Tout S'enfuit


Quand Tout S'enfuit
First performance by: Aline Lahoud - 2005



Quand tout s'enfuit
Quand tout bascule dans l'oubli
Quand il n'y a rien
Qu'un froid soleil au déclin
Quand l'hiver noie ses pleures
Dans mes nuits qui se meurent

Toi seul, tu es là
A gravé dans mon coeur ton image
Comme dans un bouquin
Qui n'a dans ces pages qu'une page
Et je sais pourtant qu'un de ces jours
Quand on n'aura jamais le temps pour notre amour

Quand tout s'en va
Il y aura toi, y aura moi
Il y aura des jours, des tous jours pour t'aimer
Oh, mon amour

Et moi, je suis là, tout près de toi
De tout ce qui te ressemble
Mais moi, je serai là pour finir ensemble ce long voyage
Et t'aimer, et t'aimer d'avantage
À tout jamais, à tout jamais

Et je sais pourtant qu'un de ces jours
Quand on n'aura jamais le temps pour notre amour

Hide In Your Shell


Hide In Your Shell
Composer(s): Rick Davies; Roger Hodges
Performer(s): Supertramp



Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

Too frightening to listen to a stranger
Too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You’re waiting for someone to understand you
But you’ve got demons in your closet
And you’re screaming out to stop it
Saying life’s begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for

Don’t let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it’s sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heartback and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know

All through the night as you like awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

Too frightening- the fire’s getting colder
Too beautiful- to think you’re getting older
You’re looking for someone to give an answer
But what you see is just an illusio
You’re surrounded by confusion
Saying life’s begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for
Don’t let teh tears...
... just let me know
I wanna know...
I wanna know you...
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you
I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Can you hear what I’m saying?
Well I’m hoping, I’m dreamin’, I’m prayin’
I know what you’re thinkin’
See what you’re seein’
Never ever let yourself go

Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why d’ya hold yourself down?
Why don’t you listen, you can
Trust me
There’s a place I know the way to
A place there is need to feel you
Feel that you’re alone
Hear me
I know exactly what you’re feelin’
Cos all your troubles are whithin you
Please begin to see that I’m just bleeding to
Love me, love you
Loving is the way to
Help me, help you
- why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we’re such damn fools...

Starless
Composer(s): David Cross - Robert Fripp - Richard Palmer-James - John Wetton
Performer(s): King Crimson
and multiple other artists



Sundown dazzling day
Gold through my eyes
But my eyes turned within
Only see
Starless and bible black

Ice blue silver sky
Fades into grey
To a grey hope that oh years to be
Starless and bible black

Old friend charity
Cruel twisted smile
And the smile signals emptiness
For me
Starless and bible black

Boys And Girls
Composer(s): Alexandr Shkuratov
First performance by: Angelica Agurbash - 2005



Not enough time left to spend on love
It's impossible to find peace of mind, no

Hide And Seek


Hide And Seek
Composer(s): S.K. Linwood; Darryl Way
Performer(s): Curved Air



Night time come and lay and hide and seek
(I have got to find you)
Streets to search and I am here alone
(Try to doubt the unknown)
*Walk in the streets
A call your name
And no one comes
Running through the town
I call your name
I know no one here

Shadows forming where the night begins
(Just the breeze comes in)
Doors all closed and window curtains drawn
(All the people are gone)
(* Repeat)

Doors all closed and window curtains drown
(All the people are gone)
Streets deserted and I am here alone
(Try to doubt the unknown)

Starkville City Jail


Starkville City Jail
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
First recording/First release by: Johnny Cash - 1969



Well, I left my motel room, down at the Starkville Motel
The town had gone to sleep and I was feelin' fairly well
I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees

I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze
I found myself surrounded; one policeman said: "That's him
Come along, wild flower child
Don't you know that it's two a.m."

They're bound to get you
'Cause they got a curfew
And you go to the Starkville City jail

Well, they threw me in the car and started driving into town
I said: "What the hell did I do?" He said: "Shut up and sit down"

Well, they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks
I said: "Wait, my name is..." "Awe shut up"
Well, I sure was in a fix

The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night
I said: "Come back here, you so and so; I ain't bein' treated right"

Well, they're bound to get you, cause they got a curfew
And you go to the Starkville City Jail

I started pacin' back and forth, and now and then I'd yell
And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my cell
I'd walk awhile and kick awhile, and all night nobody came

Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name
At 8 a.m. they let me out
I said: "Gimme them things of mine!"
They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick, and a yellow dandelion

They're bound to get you, 'cause they got a curfew
And you go to the Starkville City Jail

Hidden Treasure


Hidden Treasure
Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Jim Capaldi
Performer(s): Traffic



Take a walk down by, take a walk down by the river
There's a lot that you, there's a lot that you can learn
If you've got a mind that's open, if you've got a heart that yearns

If you listen to, if you listen to the water
You will hear the sound, you will hear the sound of life
There's a million different voices, there is happiness and strife

Message in the deep, from a strange eternal sleep
That is waiting there, that is waiting there for you
Like hidden treasure

Amar


Amar
First performance by: 2B - 2005



O céu às vezes foge
Procura outro lugar
Onde o sol não cabe
E a lua não quer ficar
De mar em mar, hey!
Ver e vencer, hey
Amar, amar, sempre, sempre anyway
De mar em mar, hey!
Ver e vencer, hey
Amar, amar, always day by day
Só quem não quer amar
Olha sem ver

Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it together
Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it forever

Pretty people shining
A pretty place to stay
Brand new kind of face
I love you anyway

Fight for the love I miss
Ask me to stay

Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it together
Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it forever

Happy pretty way
Bright shiny day
Lovely place to stay
We can hold it together
Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it forever

De mar em mar
Ver e vencer
Amar, amar

Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it together
Happy pretty way
Happy shiny day
Happy place to stay
We can hold it forever

Pretty way, happy, happy shiny day
A brand new day, happy, happy place to stay
Pretty way, happy, happy shinny day
A brand new day, happy, happy place to stay

Hickory Wind


Hickory Wind
Composer(s): Gram Parsons; Bob Buchanon
Performer(s): The Byrds;
and various other artists



In South Carolina there are many tall pines
I remember the oak tree that we used to climb
But now when I'm lonesome, I always pretend
That I'm getting the feel of hickory wind

I started out younger at most everything
All the riches and pleasures, what else could life bring?
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Callin' me home, hickory wind

It's hard to find out that trouble is real
In a far away city, with a far away feel
But it makes me feel better each time it begins
Callin' me home, hickory wind

Keeps callin' me home, hickory wind

Staring At The Embers


Staring At The Embers
Composer(s): Tim Finn
Performer(s): Tim Finn



Staring at the embers
Of my memory, trying to remember
Just what you meant to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers

Sit right down before the fire
My bridges are all burning

A lady told me she was a liar
In love at least I'm learning

Staring at the embers of my
Memory staring at the embers
They're all that's left to me

Don't know where I'm going
There's no way of knowing
Staring at the embers

The flame has gone you put it out
Out without a word of warning
The pleasure palace goes
Up in smoke

But this fool goes on yearning
Staring at the embers
Of my memory
Fire-place surrender
Please give her back to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers
Staring at the embers of
My memory
Trying to remember just
What you meant to me
Now and then I'm falling
Alligators crawling
Staring at the embers (repeat)

My Impossible Dream


My Impossible Dream
Composer(s): Robert D. Fisher - Bruce Smith
First performance by: Glennis Grace - 2005



I have a dream...

You 'n' me, we're driftin' far apart
Our story has been told
Can't you see, the writing's on the wall?
I've come in from the cold
And I will follow my dream

I'll fight the big wide world
I'll make it on my own
Against all odds I'm breakin' free
The gauntlet has been thrown
My colours have been shown
Now I seek my impossible dream

Now's the time
To hold my head up high
Find my identity
So I will follow my dream

I'll fight the big wide world
I'll make it on my own
Against all odds I'm breakin' free
The gauntlet has been thrown
My colours have been shown
Now I seek my impossible dream

My dream...

I'll fight the big world
I'll make it on my own again
Against all odds I'm breakin' free
The gauntlet has been thrown
My colours have been shown
Now I seek my impossible dream

Hi Jolly


Hi Jolly
Composer(s): Randy Sparks
Performer(s): The New Christy Minstrels;
and various other artists



Hi Jolly was a camel driver, long time ago
He followed Mr. Beale way out west
Didn't mind the burning sand in that God-forsaken land
But he didn't mind the pretty gals the best

Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night

There's pretty girls in Albuquerque, 'least that's what I've heard
There's pretty gals in Tumcumcari too
Now honey, I ain't blind, but I don't pay them any mind
'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you

Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly
Twenty more before the morning light
Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night

Old timers down in Arizona tell you that it's true
That you can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-ridin' still
When the desert moon is bright, he comes ridin' into sight
Drivin' four and twenty camels over the hill

Hi Jolly, hey Jolly, twenty miles a day, by golly
Twenty more before the mornin' light
Hi Jolly, hey, I gotta get on my way
I told my gal I'd be home Sunday night

Stardust (Estrellitas)


Stardust (Estrellitas)
(Dutch Version: Weerklank - 2009)
Composer(s): Hoagy Carmichael
First release by: Hoagy Carmichael - 1927
Covered by multiple other artists



And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we’re apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust
Of yesterday
The music
Of the years
Gone by

Sometimes I wonder why I spend the lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss, an inspiration

But that was long ago
And now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall where stars are bright
You are in my arms
A nightingale sings its fairy tale
Of paradise where roses bloom

Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
That stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
