(You're Always Sure) Of My Love For You

(You're Always Sure) Of My Love For You
Composer(s): Gus Kahn
Performer(s):
Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians



Love me a little or love me a lot
Or turn out to be untrue
You know that you’re always sure of
My love for you

If you said you’d remember and then you forgot
And broke my poor heart in two
You know that you’d still be sure of
My love for you

Anything and everything you do is OK
Take my heart and break my heart and throw it away

If you love me forever or love me a day
Whatever you say or do
You know that you’re always sure of
My love for you

Believe Again


Believe Again
Composer(s): Ronan Keating - Martin Michael Larsson - Lars Halvor Jensen
First performance by: Brinck - 2009



You made it so easy to fall
I could not stand at all
I saw you beside me
You never saw me there at all

I promised you all this
I made plans thinking this was it
I never imagined I'd find you
Lose myself instead

I never had a picture of an end

And I... I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger
Than the two of us, yeah...
I... I wanna breathe again
I wanna go back to the days
The days I had my innocence
I wanna believe again

I picked up the pieces
And put them back where they belong
But something is missing
Though I look the same, I'm not that strong
But I'm gonna learn to trust again

And I... I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger
Than the two of us (The two of us)
And I... I wanna breathe again
I wanna go back to the days
The days I had my innocence
I wanna believe again

For without love, what do we become?
I never had a picture of an end

And I... I wanna believe in love
I wanna believe in something bigger
Than the two of us (The two of us)
I... I wanna breathe again
I wanna believe
I wanna believe
I wanna believe again

(You Really) Rock Me

(You Really) Rock Me
Composer(s): Nick Gilder; James McCulloch
Performer(s): Nick Gilder



(You really) Rock Me

Take them for the ride
Let them feel the energy you can provide
Roll it through the times
Make it feel like real emotion this time around

You're so physical very intellectual
Can't stop asking why
Running with the changes I'm a social institution
Don't stop driving them wild, wild, wild

(You really) rock me

Touching with your eyes
Make contact for the moment
Where you think you'll survive
Take them for the ride
Although young
Tomorrow wants to know your surprise

(You really) rock me

Stoned Love


Stoned Love
Composer(s): Yennik Samoht - F. Wilson
Performer(s): The Supremes



Now I want to tell you of a great love
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, it will light up
It will surely light up
Darkened worlds
If you just believe.....

Stoned love
Soned love, oh yeah

A love for each other will bring fighting to an end
Forgiving one another, time after time, doubt creeps in
But like the sun lights up the sky with a message from above
Oh, yeah, I find no other greater symbol of this love

Dont you hear the wind blowin?
Stoned love, oh yeah
I tell you I aint got no other
Stoned love, oh, yeah

Life is so short put the present time at hand
And if you're young at heart rise up and take your stand
And to the man on whose shoulder the world must depend
I pray for peace and love, Amen

Can't ya hear it?
Stoned love, oh yeah
I tell you I aint got no other
Stoned love, oh, yeah

If a war 'tween our nations passed
Will the love 'tween our brothers and sisters last
On and on and on and on and....

Dont ya hear the wind blowin?
Stoned love, oh yeah
I tell you I aint got no other
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Mm-hmm
Stoned love
Can't cha, can't cha, can't cha, can't cha, can't cha feel it?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Stoned love
Oh yeah, stoned, stoned, stoned, stoned
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Mm-hmm
Stoned love
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Stoned love
Oh yeah, yeah, un huh, un huh
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Stoned love

(You Never Can Tell) C'est La Vie

(You Never Can Tell) C'est La Vie
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris; The Relics



It was a teenage wedding
And the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre
Did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame
Have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to slow you never can tell
They furnished off an apartment
With a two room Roebuck sale
The coolerator was crammed
With T.V. dimmers and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work
The little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

They had a hi-fi phono
Boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records
All rockin' rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down
The rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

they bought a souped-up jitney
T'was a cherry-red fifty nine
They drove it down to New Orleans
To celebrate their anniversary
It was there that Pierre
Was wedded to the lovely mad'moiselle
"C'est la vie", say the old folks
It goes to show you never can tell

What If We


What If We
Composer(s): Marc Paelinck - Gregory Bilsen
First performance by: Chiara - 2009



Words of wisdom, prophets and quotes
Wise men talking, tales from the old
I reach for the stars, wherever they are, in darkness
We're lost, fading away

What if we could be free?
Mystify our wisdom in time
And one day we'll see
What if we found the key?
Throw the dice, unravel our lies
And learn how to be

All the madness feeding our soul
Take a wild guess out of control
There will be a star, no matter how far, shining
One day we'll sail away

What if we could be free?
Mystify our wisdom in time
And one day we'll see
What if we found the key?
Throw the dice, unravel our lies
And learn how to be

If you don't know your destination
Who determines your destiny?

What if we could be free?
Mystify our wisdom in time
And one day we'll see
What if we found the key?
Throw the dice, unravel our lies
And learn how to be

(You Make Me) Hungry For Your Loving

(You Make Me) Hungry For Your Loving
French Title: Par Gourmandise
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



You make me hungry for your loving
Takes (?) your smile from my heart
You’re like the cherry cake and candy
I used to steal when I was young
The sweet objective of desire
Forbidden fruit that must be mine
I want to know you with my kisses
And drink your lips like some wine

You make me hungry for your loving
I devour you with my eyes
Your body talks to me of pleasure
The food that love alone supplies
Arosing up the tides within me
That I have never known before
And in my greediness I take you
And come again and ask for more

You make me hungry for your loving
I savour every part of you
You fill my senses so (?) quickly
And all you say and all you do
You really satisfy my hunger
There’s so much love that I can call (?)

Now we’re alone, you must come closer
The taste of loving you is all I needed to know

Stonecutters Cut It On Stone


Stonecutters Cut It On Stone
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Cameron Mitchell
and multiple other artists



I never see it yet to fail, I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with a virtuous man is doomed to weep and wail

Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
"There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man who thinks he's good"

My mother used to say to me "When you grow up, my son
I hope you're a bum like your father was
'cause a good man ain't no fun"

Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
"There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man who thinks he's good"

Tain't so!, 'tis, too!
Tain't so!, 'tis, too!

I never see it yet to fail, I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with any man
Is doomed to weep and wail

The clock just ticks your life away, there's no relief in sight
It's "cook" and it's "scrub" and it's "sewin' all day" and "not much sleep that night"

Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
"There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man whose bad Or good"

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man

(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man
Composer(s): Gerry Goffin;
Carole King; Jerry Wexler
Performer(s): Rod Stewart;
James Ingram; The Lettermen



Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
But when I knew I had to face another long, long day
girl I used to feel so tired

Before the day I met you
life had been so unkind
but you're the key to my peace of mind
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
you made me feel like a natural man

When my soul was in the lost and found
you came along to claim it
I didn't know, I didn't know just what was wrong with me
till your kiss helped me to name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
but if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
you made me feel like a natural man

Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me
Can't you see that you made me feel so good inside
Don't you know that I just want to be
close to you, you made me feel so alive
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
you made me feel like a natural man

Baby I ain't doubtful of what I'm living for
but if I make you happy I don't need to do more
'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel
Well you made me feel like a natural man

Always
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Vincent Lopez & His Orch.
and multiple other artists



Everything went wrong
And the whole day long
I'd feel so blue
For the longest while
I'd forget to smile
Then I met you
Now that my blue days have passed,
Now that I've found you at last ........

I'll be loving you always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand
I will understand, always

Always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year
But always

I'll be loving you, oh always
With a love that's true, always
When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand
I will understand, always

Always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year
But always

Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year
But always

(You Lift Me) Up To Heaven

(You Lift Me) Up To Heaven
Composer(s):
Johnny MacRae; Bob Morrison;
Bill Zerface; Jim Zerface
Performer(s): Reba McEntire;
Larry Stephenson Band



Been to Colorado where the mountains touch the sky
And I've done other things in life to lift my spirits high
But nothing that I've ever tried to do
Has taken me as high as loving you

Chorus:
Cause you lift me up, up, up, up to heaven
When you gently lay me down
You lift me up, up, up, up to heaven
Yes you make my world go round

I never try to get away on daydreams anymore
Love's taken me to places that I've never been before
But if it's not heaven when you're holding me
It's the way that heaven oughta be

Repeat chorus

And we never leave the ground
Up, up, up, up to heaven
Yes you make my world go round

(You Got To Walk And) Don't Look Back

(You Got To Walk And) Don't Look Back
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson; Ronald White
Performer(s): Peter Tosh & Mick Jagger



If it's love that you're running from
There is no hiding place
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
Just your problems no one elses problems
You just have to face
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)

Now if your first lover let you down
There's something that can be done
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
Don't heal your faith in love
Remembering what's become

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)

Instrumental

Places behind you
There to remind you

If your first lover broke your heart
Something can be done
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)
Don't heal your faith in love
Remembering whats been lost
(You can't run, you can't hide, you can't run)

So if you just put your hand in mine
We're gonna leave all our troubles behind
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)
We gonna walk
And don't look back (Don't look back)

Mick Jagger and Peter Tosh hold this conversation
while background singers continue singing back-up

(P.T.) How far you been walking man?
(M.J.) About a hundred miles
(P.T.) You still got some more to walk man
(M.J.) I know, don't remind me about it
(P.T.) I'm getting tired, but I still got to keep on walking
(M.J.) I'm walking barefoot
(P.T.) You know, keep on walking
(M.J.) You got to walk and don't look back
(P.T.) Keep on a walking
You got to walk and don't look back
Keep on a walking
You got to walk and don't look back

First performance by: AySel & Arash - 2009



Always on my mind, always in my heart

I've been waiting for you night after night
Like a shadow, staying close to the light
Suddenly you stand beside me
And I see a million burning stars

You are always on my mind, always in my heart
And I can hear you call my name on a mountain high
Always on my mind, always in my dreams
I wanna hold you close to me, always, all the time

I believe I'm addicted to you
In your eyes I see dreams comin' true
Finally I have found you
And now I will never let you go, no

You are always on my mind, always in my heart
And I can hear you call my name on a mountain high
Always on my mind, always in my dreams
I wanna hold you close to me, always, all the time

Always on my mind, always in my heart
And I can hear you call my name on a mountain high
Always on my mind, always in my dreams
I wanna hold you close to me, always, all the time

Always on my mind, always in my heart
Always on my mind, always in my dreams
Always, all the time

(You Dyed Your Hair) Chartreuse

(You Dyed Your Hair) Chartreuse
Composer(s):
J. Leslie McFarland; Billy Moore Jr.

Performer(s): Louis Jordan; Chris Daniels



You're a freckled gal
You're a pug-nosed cutey
sweet as Charlotte Russe

You've got big blue eyes
So I ask you why have you dyed your hair chartreuse?

Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it's mighty cute
Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
That you dyed your hair chartreuse
(repeat)

In the days of old
When the knights were bolder and the girls were truer blue
Just think what paw
Would have said to maw had she dyed her hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it's mighty cute
You went too far in that beauty booth
When you dyed your hair chartreuse

Now you know I know
That your hair was black when we lived on Chestnut Street
When you wore pigtails
And ginger ale was your most favourite treat
You're a big girl now
So you think it's cuter being fast and fancy-loose
But you went too far in that beauty booth
When you dyed your hair chartreuse

Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it's mighty cute
Just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
That you dyed your hair chartreuse
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Chartreuse (chartreuse)
Though you think it's mighty cute
But just wait 'til I write and tell your ma
You didn't like black, you didn't like red
You hated blondes, well, it's no use
You got mad and dyed your hair...
Chartreuse

Girl you are to me, all that a woman should be

Oh boy I love you so
And you can be sure i'm yours for always
When you come around you bring brighter days
Come with me my sweet
For me and you forever will be
A love like yours is rare

I will love you so, for always

(You Don't Have To) Paint Me A Picture

(You Don't Have To) Paint Me A Picture
Composer(s): Marilyn Garrett;
Bobby Russell; Roger Tillison
Performer(s): Gary Lewis & The Playboys



You don't have to paint me a picture
The handwritin's on the wall
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all
You went out with other fellas
You think that I don't know
Well, you don't have to paint a rose on me
'Cause I knew it long ago
I have tried to make excuses for the things you do
I've tried to be fair in every way
It's no use pretendin' that you haven't been untrue
It's over now, so I'll be on my way
I don't need a fortuneteller
I don't need a crystal ball
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all
I have tried to make excuses for the things you do
I've tried to be fair in every way
It's no use pretendin' that you haven't been untrue
It's over now, so I'll be on my way, hey hey
I don't need a fortuneteller
I don't need a crystal ball
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all

(repeat and fade):

You don't have to paint me a picture
The handwritin's on the wall
It's very plain to see that you don't love me
No, you never loved me at all

Always (Air Supply)


Always
Composer(s): Guy Allison - Graham Russell - Michael Sherwood
Performer(s): Air Supply



I can see hills touch the sky
Heaven and earth, you and I
Know we will always be
Here in the silence we lie
Shadows we cast, you and I
Speak for eternity

Pressed between pages
Flowers will die
Stories may end as time passes by
You and I will always be

With every word that I hear
Whenever whispers are near
I can believe in fate
Promises made, only one
Yesterday fades from the sun
And falls to a new embrace

Tears overflow as rivers run dry
Here in a moment, time passes by
You and I will always be, for always

Pressed between pages, flowers will die
Stories may end as time passes by
You and I will always be, will always be

(You Bring Out) The Wild Side Of Me

(You Bring Out) The Wild Side Of Me
Composer(s): Dan Seals
Performer(s): Dan Seals



Our friends all think I am a gentle man
By the clothes that I wear, the things I say
But when I hold you in my arms
There's a feeling you set free
You bring out the wild side of me

I thought I knew what love was all about
And I made all the moves so carefully
When I'm with you, I do some things
I never thought I'd do or see
'Cause you bring out the wild side of me

Chorus

No one's there to notice
When the change comes over me
When I kiss your sweet lips
And hold you tenderly
No one sees the stranger
That this simple man can be
When you bring out the wild side of me

You always seem to know what's on my mind
And you're everything I'll ever need
And when that love light's in your eyes
There's no place I'd rather be
'Cause you bring out the wild side of me

Chorus

No one's there to notice
When the change comes over me
When I kiss your sweet lips
And hold you tenderly
No one sees the stranger
That this simple man can be
When you bring out the wild side of me
