Yesterday's Memories
Yesterday's Memories
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
Yesterday's mem'ries won't let me go
Goin' to the place where we used to park
Just like always, it was still and dark
But it was a little too much for my poor heart
Yesterday's mem'ries tore me apart
Today I walked down to that little café where we used to go
And I waited for our favourite booth
The one we always sat in, not too long ago
But when I sat down, tears began to flow
Yesterday's mem'ries won't let me go
Anymore, if there's anyone around I start to cry
I just say, "Excuse me, but there's a mem'ry in my eye"
Oh my friends, things were mine, they ought to be
That I was happy with new arms wrapped around me
But as I lied, I cried, and they could see
Yesterday's mem'ries, got hold of me

Yesterday's Hero
Yesterday's Hero
Composer(s): Harry Vanda; George Young
Performer(s): The Bay City Rollers;
Ignatius Jones; John Paul Young
When we walk down the street
See the people who stop and stare
And say, haven`t I seen that face
Somewhere a long time ago
When we walk down the street
See the stranger who says
Why, hi, well, how you doing, buddy
When you walked on by
I thought I`d say hello
They say, haven`t I
Seen your face before
Weren`t you the boy
That used to live next door
Weren`t you on
Television every night
Haven`t I seen you round
(Chorus)
We don`t wanna be
A yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero
That`s all we`ll be
We don`t wanna be
A yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero
Is all that we`re gonna be
If we don`t get together
Make a new plan and
Be constantly better
All that we`ll be if we
Don`t get it together now
When we walk down the street
If you know me, then pass me by
If you wonder what I`m doing
Don`t ask me why
I don`t read the news
When we walk down the street
If you`re sorry
Then don`t feel bad
If you follow my story
I`m just as glad
You ain`t in my shoes
Because haven`t you
Seen my face before
Yes, I was the boy
Who used to live next door
Yes, I was on
Television every night
Haven`t you seen me round
(Chorus)
We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero, no, no
We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero, no
Yesterday`s hero, no, no
We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero
Yesterday`s hero, no, no
We don`t wanna be
Yesterday`s hero....

The Overlanders; Chad Stuart
I loved you all the summer through
I thought I'd found my dream in you
For me you were the one
But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone
We walked together hand in hand
'cross miles and miles of golden sand
But now it's over and done
'cause that was yesterday and yesterday's gone
We had such happiness together
I can't believe it's gone forever
Wait 'til summer comes again
I hope that you'll remember when
Our love had just begun
I loved you yesterday and yesterday's gone
------ guitar solo ------
We had such happiness together
I can't believe it's gone forever
Wait 'til summer comes again
I hope that you'll remember when
Our love had just begun
I loved you yesterday and yesterday's gone
Yesterday's gone
Yesterday's gone
Yesterday's gone

Strange Lady In Town
Strange Lady In Town
Composer(s): Dimitri Tiomkin - Ned Washington
Performer(s): Frankie Laine; Mitch Miller
Strange lady in town, strange lady in town
She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for
If I were king, I'd trade the crown
For that strange, strange lady in town
(Strange lady in town)
Oh, heart of mine, you're in danger
There's a strange lady in town
Who is this heart-stealin' stranger?
Who is turnin' the town upside down
Here hair is red as the settin' sun
Her lips are ripe as the corn
The lights that rise in her sea-green eyes
Make a man kinda glad he was born
Strange lady in town, strange lady in town
She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for
If I were king, I'd trade the crown
For that strange, strange lady in town
(Strange lady in town)
Ain't got no ring for her finger
And I can't buy her a gown
But rain or shine, I'll still make her mine
That strange, strange lady in town
Strange lady in town, strange lady in town
She's all that any man could ever hope or pray for
If I were king, I'd trade the crown
For that strange, strange lady in town
(Strange lady in town)
Strange lady in town
(Strange lady in town)
Strange lady in town
(Strange lady in town)
Strange lady in town

Yesterday's Dreams
Yesterday's Dreams
Composer(s): Pam Sawyer;
Ivory Joe Hunter; Jack Goga: Vernon Bullock
Performer(s): The Four Tops
Yesterday's dreams today are sorrow
Just like your love, girl, fading away
Yesterday's love won't last till tomorrow
I know you're leaving, but what can I say?
Oh (oh) wish that I could find a way
To make you stay; I've got to prove to you
That I love you, I need you, oh how I need you
Don't go (don't go) don't go (don't go)
If you go, don't you know
You're gonna leave me with...
Yesterday's dreams though gone & behind us
They're lonely reminders of plans that we made
Yesterday's plans today gone forever
But they're locked here inside me & they never will fade
Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Dreamin' still, & I always will
'Cause I love you, I need you, oh how I need you
Don't you go (don't go) don't you leave me, baby (don't go)
Baby don't you leave me (don't go) please don't leave me
(Don't go) here with yesterday's dreams
Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Dreamin' still, & I always will
Yesterday's dreams are a small pile of ashes
With one burning hope that hangs on

Amarillo By Morning
Composer(s): Terry Stafford - Paul Fraser
Performer(s): Terry Stafford
and multiple other artists
Amarillo by mornin'
Up from San Antone
Everything that I got
Is just what I've got on
When that sun is high in that Texas sky
I'll be buckin' at the county fair
Amarillo by mornin'
Amarillo, I'll be there
They took my saddle in Houston
Broke my leg in Santa Fe
Lost my wife and a girlfriend
Somewhere along the way
I'll be lookin' for eight
When they pull that gate
And I hope that judge ain't blind
Amarillo by mornin'
Amarillo's on my mind
Amarillo by mornin'
Up from San Antone
Everything that I got
Is just what I've got on
I ain't got a dime
But what I got is mine
I ain't rich, but Lord, I'm free
Amarillo by mornin'
Amarillo's where I'll be

Yesterday's Dreams (Flanagan & Allen)
Yesterday's Dreams
Composer(s): Michael Carr; Francis Day
Performer(s): Flanagan & Allen; Hutch
Yesterday's dreams were born with a smile
Yesterday's dreams just lay there a while
We lived and laughed and the world was ours
Then came the teardrops of April showers
Yesterday's dreams are so far away
Gone with the dawn that brought us today
Maybe tomorrow we’ll see a dreamboat sail into view
Then yesterday's dreams will all come true
Yesterday's dreams are so far away
Gone with the dawn that brought us today
Maybe tomorrow we’ll see a dreamboat sail into view
Then yesterday's dreams will all come true
(spoken)
Yesterday's dreams, just remember
Are always so far away
So far away, and they’ve gone with the dawn
Perhaps never to return – who knows
Maybe tomorrow we’ll see a dreamboat sail into view
Then yesterday's dreams will all come true

Marina Del Rey
Marina Del Rey
Composer(s): Dean Dillon - Frank Dycus
Performer(s): George Strait; Kyle Newmaster; Pickin' On
We said goodbye in Marina del Rey
"I had a good time" was the last thing I heard her say
As I walked away
And on the plane back to Tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday in Marina del Rey
On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways in Marina del Rey
Like the ocean tides, highs and lows
Love sometimes comes and goes away
In Marina del Rey
And as this plane is touching down
Tears touch my eyes for I have found
My heart has stayed in Marina del Rey
On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket that we laid down on
And loved the world away
In Marina del Rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our bodies lost in paradise
Like castaways in Marina del Rey
We said goodbye in Marina del Rey...

Yesterdays, Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy
Sweet sequester days
Olden days, golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth, was mine
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I’m dreaming of Yesterdays
(Musical Break)
Olden days, golden days
Days of mad romance and love
Then gay youth was mine, truth was mine
Joyous free and flaming life
Forsooth, was mine
Sad am I, glad am I
For today I’m dreaming of Yesterdays

If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home)
Composer(s): Blake Mevis - David Wills
Performer(s): George Strait
Lately you've been showing all the signs
Of a woman with someone else on her mind
It's not your fault
It's the nights I've left you alone
And if you're thinking
You want a stranger
There's one coming home
If you're thinking
You want a stranger
I'll soon be there
You're gonna see
A change in me
This time I swear
No more late nights
Coming in at daylight
And no more doing you wrong
'Cause if you're thinking
You want a stranger
There's one coming home
Bought you a silk gown
And perfume today
Picked up some roses
And champagne on the way
Ohh I called and asked you to put
Some soft music on
'Cause if you're thinking
You want a stranger
There's one coming home
If you're thinking
You want a stranger
I'll soon be there
You're gonna see
A change in me
This time I swear
No more late nights
Coming in at daylight
And no more doing you wrong
'Cause if you're thinking
You want a stranger
There's one coming home
'Cause if you're thinking
You want a stranger

Yesterday when I was young
the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
and only now I see how the years ran away
Yesterday when I was young
so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
and every conversation I can now recall
concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
and every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
and only I am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young

Strange Fruit
Strange Fruit
Composer(s): Lewis Allan
First release by: Billie Holiday - 1939
Covered by multiple other artists
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves
Blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
The scent of magnolia sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck
for the rain to gather
for the wind to suck
for the sun to rot
for the tree to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

Yesterday Once More
Yesterday Once More
((French Version: Sha La La (Hier Est Près De Moi) - 1974))
Composer(s): John Bettis; Richard Carpenter
First release by: The Carpenters - 1973
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was young
I´d listen to the radio
Waitin´ for my favorite songs
When they played I´d sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they´d gone
But they´re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine
When they get to the part
Where he´s breakin´ her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more
Lookin´ back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I´d memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they´re startin´ to sing´s
So fine
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It´s yesterday once more

Há Dias Assim
Há Dias Assim
Composer(s): Augusto Madureira
First performance by: Filipa Azevedo - 2010
Há dias assim
Que nos deixam sós
A alma vazia
A mágoa na voz
Gastámos as mãos
Tanto as apertámos
Já não há palavras
Foi de tanto as calarmos
Há uma canção
Que não te cantei
Versos por rimar
Poemas que nunca inventei
Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou?
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada
Há dias assim
Não há que esconder
Recear palavras
Amar ou sofrer
Ocultar sentidos
Fingir que não há
Há dias perdidos
Entre cá e lá
Há uma canção
Que não te cantei
Versos por rimar
Poemas que nunca inventei
Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou?
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada
Sei que um dia saberás
Que a vida é uma só
Não volta atrás
Quem nos pôs assim?
A vida rasgada
Quem te me levou
Roubou-me a alma
Mas de ti não sabe nada

Well my friends, that's what I am

Her yesterday man
That is the look of love she had last night
Please tell me something
Have you met an angel?

Well my friends, that's what I am
That's what I am

Get some of the good kind
And some of the bad kind
Some of the others are in between
But all that I can say is she is the worst kind
Well, I think you know what I mean
And yet for all that I say
I'd take her back any day
Now I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends, that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends, that's what I am
That's what I am
Her yesterday man
That is the look of love she had last night
Oh, come a little bit closer baby
(That is the look of love she had last night)
Don't give it to me, you're gonna leave me again, believe me
(That is the look of love she had last night)
I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that
(That is the look of love she had last night)
