Fairytale (Alexander Rybak)


Fairytale
Composer(s): Alexander Rybak
First performance by: Alexander Rybak - 2009



Years ago, when I was younger
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it's true

I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed

Every day we started fighting
Every night we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above

I don't know what I was doing
When suddenly, we fell apart
Nowadays, I cannot find her
But when I do, we'll get a brand new start

I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed

She's a fairytale, yeah...
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind
I'm already cursed

Stoney End


Stoney End
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
First release by: Laura Nyro - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



I was born from love
and my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the good book jesus
till I read between the lines
now I don't believe I want to see the mornin'
going down to stoney end
I never wanted to go down to stoney end
mama let me start all over
cradle me
mama cradle me again

I can still remember him
with lovelight in his eyes
but the light flickered out and parted
as the sun began to rise
now I don't believe I want to see the mornin'
going down to stoney end
I never wanted to go down to stoney end
mama let me start all over
cradle me
mama cradle me again

never mind the forecast
'cause the sky has lost control
'cause the fury and the broken thunder's
come to match my ragin' soul
now I don't believe I want to see the mornin'

(You've Got To) Move Two Mountains

(You've Got To) Move Two Mountains
Composer(s): Berry Gordy Jr.
Performer(s): Marv Johnson



Some time ago I told you that I needed you
It hurt me so when you said I don't mess with you
I love you long, you done me wrong
This is what you said to me

You've got to move two mountains drain a river dry
Turn the deep blue ocean for the stars in the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

I tried so hard cause all my love was true for you
It broke my heart, my best was not enough for you
Whenever I asked you for a kiss
You always told me this

You've got to move two mountains drain a river dry
Turn the deep blue ocean for the stars in the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

Table turned and here you are a beggin me
To take you back, you got me feelin sad and blue
I feel so bad I wanna cry
I ain't gonna tell you no lie

You've got to move two mountains drain a river dry
Swim the deepest ocean pull the stars in the sky
And if you do all this to prove your love is true
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

You've gotta move
You gotta swim
And if you wanna do
Then I'll fall in love with you

You've gotta move
You gotta swim
And if you wanna do
Maybe then I'll fall in love with you

Carry Me In Your Dreams
Composer(s): Edmond Zhulali - June Muftaraj Taylor
First performance by: Kejsi Tola - 2009



My love for you grows with each passing day
I'm by your side when you're away
And when I miss you and long for your care
I close my eyes and you're there

All that I ask is one moment in time
No strings attached, no drawing lines
You feel my thoughts even when you're not here
I close my eyes
Close my eyes and I feel you're there

Take my love, take my heart
Carry me with you in your dreams
No, no, never let go
Wonder of love, magical glow

Take my love, take my heart
Carry me with you in your dreams
No, no, never let go
Wonder of love, magical glow

All that I ask is one moment in time
No strings attached, no drawing lines
You feel my thoughts even when you're not here
I close my eyes
Close my eyes and I feel you're there

Take my love, take my heart
Carry me with you in your dreams
No, no, never let go
Wonder of love, magical glow

Search for me in your dreams
Search for me, it's where I'll be

Take my love, take my heart
Carry me with you in your dreams
No, no, never let go
Wonder of love, magical glow

Take my love, take my heart
Carry me with you in your dreams
No, no, never let go
Wonder of love, magical glow

(You've Got Me) Dangling On A String

(You've Got Me) Dangling On A String
Composer(s): Ronald Dunbar; Edith Wayne
Performer(s): The Chairmen Of The Board



You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
My life will surely stop
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose

I'm not half the man that I used to be, and I'll admit it
Your love has become a habit to me, and I can't quit it
Won't you take this half a man and make this man whole again?

You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
'Cause you're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
The feeling is strong and I can't let go

Every time I phone, your number's changed or disconnected
You have made my life a book of games -- I feel so rejected
Girl, you've got the best of me, now come and take the rest of me

You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
You're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
My heart's in a noose and I can't break loose

Girl, my nights are so lonely
Ooh, I'm needing you only

I only drink enough from your loving cup to keep me thirsty
Girl my need for you is oh so strong until it hurts me

You've got me dangling on a string
Please don't let me drop
You're everything I've got
'Cause I'm trapped in a dream of needing you so
The feeling is strong and I can't let go

You've got me dangling on a string...

Stones In My Passway


Stones In My Passway
Composer(s): Robert Johnson
First release by: Robert Johnson - 1937
Covered by multiple other artists



I got stones in my passway and my road seems dark at night
I got stones in my passway and my road seems dark at night
I have pains in my heart, they have taken my appetite

I have a bird to whistle and I have a bird to sing
Have a bird to whistle and I have a bird to sing
I got a woman that I'm loving, oh, but she don't mean a thing

My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last
My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last
And there's one thing certain, they have stones all in my pass

Now you're trying to take my life and all my lovin' too
You have laid a passway for me, now what are you trying to do?
I'm crying, "Please, please, let us be friends"
Now when you hear me howling in my passway, rider
please open your door and let me in

I got three legs to truck on, whoa, please don't block my road
I got three legs to truck on, whoa, please don't block my road
I been feelin' strange 'bout my rider, babe, I'm booked and I got to go

(You've Been Quite A Doll) Raggedy Ann

(You've Been Quite A Doll) Raggedy Ann
Composer(s): Red Lane
Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens



You sure have been quite a doll, Raggedy Ann
Yes, quite a doll
But I didn't really know you
until I started making these trips up here to talk to you
And now I'm beginning to see more and more why my baby loved you so much
Why, Raggedy Ann, sometimes I'd almost swear
that you're just about as much alive as I am
When I hug you up close to me
I feel every ounce of the warm glow of love that she must've felt
And you know what, Raggedy Ann
I'd give anything I owned in this world
If I knew just half of the memories
that have passed through those little black button eyes of yours
Hid themselves in their tear stained stuff

Well I bet your just busting out with little old childhood secrets
that could really set a lonely man's heart aglow
Sometimes I still have to laugh the way you had to sample all of her food
And see all of her little new dresses
And answer a thousand questions
It's really a small wonder that you're all in one piece
The way she used to drag you around by one leg everywhere she went
But you didn't seem to mind
'cause you always had that big ole smile on your face
And You know something, Raggedy Ann
I bet that smile has dryed more tears
and cured more little hurts then I could ever hope to kiss away

And I'll tell you something else
That big smile has given me strength to face some pretty trying times myself
And I want to thank you again, Raggedy Ann
For helping me raise her after her Momma died
Somehow you just stepped right into her Momma shoes
And just that much further into our hearts
And that year of the rains, remember
One night the fever took my baby
You just laid right there beside her
While I did everything I could, right up to the end
And since then its just been me and you, Raggedy Ann
Just me and you

But you know the years haven't seemed to bother you too much
Course, you're a little faded here and there from the wind and rain
But that heartwarming charm and that spark of love
seems stronger now then it ever did
And look at me, why I barely made it up the hill today
Look Raggedy Ann, I can't even brush the dirt from my knees
So don't look for me tomorrow, I won't make it
I'd like to take you with me, Raggedy Ann
But I know you'll be happier right here
Watching over my baby and keeping her warm
Well, I've got to leave you now, I gotta go
And about the only thing that comes to my mind to say to you is
"God Bless You"
And you sure have been quite a doll, Raggedy Ann
Yes sir, quite a doll

First performance by: Hadise - 2009



Baby, you're perfect for me
You are my gift from heaven
This is the greatest story
Of all times

We met like in a movie
So meant to last forever
And what you're doing to me
Feels so fine

Angel, I wake up
And live my dreams endlessly
Crazy for you

Can you feel the rhythm in my heart?
The beat's going düm tek tek
Always out it like there's no limit
Feels like there's no way back

Can you feel the rhythm in my heart?
The beat's going düm tek tek
Always louder like there's no limit
Feels like there's no way back

Baby, I read all answers
In your exotic movements
You are the greatest dancer
Of all times

You make me feel so special
No one can kiss like you do
As if it's your profession
Feels so fine

Angel, I wake up
And live my dreams endlessly
Crazy for you

Can you feel the rhythm in my heart?
The beat's going düm tek tek
Always out it like there's no limit
Feels like there's no way back

Can you feel the rhythm in my heart?
The beat's going düm tek tek
Always louder like there's no limit
Feels like there's no way back

Can you feel the rhythm in my heart?

Can you feel the rhythm in my heart?
The beat's going düm tek tek
Always out it like there's no limit
Feels like there's no way back

Can you feel the rhythm in my heart?
The beat's going düm tek tek
Always louder like there's no limit
Feels like there's no way back

Always louder like there's no limit
Feels like there's no way back
Always out it like there's no limit
Feels like düm tek tek

(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care

(You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care
From the film "Jailhouse Rock"
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber; Mike Stoller
Originally performed by: Elvis Presley
Covered by various other artists



You don't like crazy music
You don't like rockin' bands
You just wanna go to a movie show
And sit there holdin' hands
You're so square
Baby, I don't care

You don't like hotrod racin'
Or drivin' late at night
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark
You just wanna hold me tight
You're so square
Baby, I don't care

You don't know any dance steps that are new
But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do

I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care

I don't know why my heart flips
I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care
Baby, I don't care, care, care
I don't care, care, care

Stones would play inside her head
And where she slept, they made her bed
And she would ache for love and get but Stones

And I'll be there to let the sun in
And bein' lost is worth the comin' home

You and me, a harvest granting
The every prayer ever prayed
For just two wild flowers that grow

Composer(s): Brian Holland;
Lamont Dozier; Edward Holland Jr.
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes



Gone is your smiling face
'Cause you're not around anymore
But the sound of your laughter
Still fills this empty place
'Cause you're always in my heart

Gone is the tender way
You used to whisper
How much you care
But the sound of your whisper
Still echoes lovely in the air
'Cause you're always in my heart

Though I removed
Your picture from the wall
Nothing's changed
For your image still remains

In my heart from you
It can't seem to part
Though gone is your warm embrace
But your memory
I can't erase

'Cause you're always in my heart
'Cause you're always in my heart

(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

Take them for the ride
Let them feel the energy you can provide
Roll it through the times

Can't stop asking why
Running with the changes I'm a social institution
Don't stop driving them wild, wild, wild

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

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

(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
