You Make Me Feel Brand New


You Make Me Feel Brand New
Composer(s): Thom Bell; Linda Creed
Performer(s): The Stylistics;
and various other artists



My love
I'll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again

Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love

God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You made me feel brand new
I sing this song 'cause you
Make me feel brand new

My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I'll always have a friend
You're someone who I can depend
To walk a path that never ends

Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for having faith in me

You Make Loving Fun


You Make Loving Fun
Composer(s): Christine McVie
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac;
Tom Bartsch; Jewel; Nic Johnston;
Douglas Reed; Schlong; Spectrum



Sweet wonderful you
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever I go

I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why

Don't, don't break the spell
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
And I don't have to tell you you're the only one

You make loving fun
You make loving fun

Summertime Promises


Summertime Promises
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jimmy Van Heusen
Performer(s): Jack Jones



Those leafy lanes we walked through hand in hand
The lazy beach where we just tanned and tanned
They're gone just like the lovely plans we planned
Summertime promises that's all

The ferris wheel that took us to the moon
Has brought us back to earth too soon, too soon
What we called love I guess was only June
Summertime promises that's all

Only fools trust in holiday romances
Only fools cling to summer souvenirs
We were fools and like fools we took our chances
It was a loveliest summer in years

It's over still it seems like yesterday
You said you'd care forever come what may
I'm still in love with you but like they say
Summertime promises, summertime promises
Seldom come true in the fall

You Made Me Love You


You Made Me Love You
Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Joseph McCarthy
Performer(s): Al Jolson; and various other artists



You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes
You made me glad
But there were times
You made me feel so bad

You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you

(instrumental interlude)

You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some love that's true
Yes, I do, 'deed I do
You know I do

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie what I cry for
You know you've got the brand of kisses
That I'd die for
You know you made me love you

As sung Judy Garland:
You Made Me Love You (Dear Mr. Gable)



Dear Mr. Gable
I am writing this to you
and I hope that you will read it so you'll know
My heart beats like a hammer
and I stutter and I stammer
every time I see you at the picture show
I guess I'm just another fan of yours
and I thought I'd write and tell you so.

You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it
You made me love you
and all the time you knew it, I guess you always knew it
You made me happy, sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, sir, you made me feel so sad

You made me sigh 'cause
I didn't wanna tell you, I didn't wanna tell you
I think you're grand, that's true
Yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do
I must tell you what I'm feeling
The very mention of your name
sends my heart reeling
You know you made me love you!

Aw, gee, Mr. Gable
I don't wanna bother you!
Guess you got a lotta girls that tell you the same thing
And if you don't wanna read this, well, you don't have to
But I just had to tell you about the time I saw you in "It Happened One Night"
That was the first time I ever saw you
and I knew right then you were the nicest fella in the movies!
I guess it was 'cause you acted so, well so natural like
not like a real actor at all
but just like any fella you'd meet at school or at a party
Then one time I saw you in a picture with Joan Crawford
and I had to cry a little 'cause you loved her so much and you couldn't have her
not 'till the end of the picture, anyway
And then one time I saw you in person
You were making a personal appearance at the theatre
and I was standing there when you got out of your car
and you almost knocked me down!
Oh - but it wasn't your fault!
Naw, I was in the way
But you looked at me, and you smiled
Yeah! You smiled right at me as if you meant it
and I cried all the way
just 'cause you smiled at me for being in your way!
Aw, I'll never forget it, Mr. Gable
Honest
You're my favorite actor!

(singing)

I don't care what happens, let the whole world stop
As far as I'm concerned, you'll always be the top
'cause you know you made me love you

Summertime Lies


Summertime Lies
Composer(s): A. Hood - R. Loring
Performer(s): The Four Preps



You made promises that day and I saw love in your eyes
Did you mean them or were they summertime lies
When we kissed I held your hand, I believed your tender sighs
Were those dreams that we planned summertime lies
But now the days hurry by and all of them are blue
And every day I wonder why I haven't heard from you
Has your love for me grown cold, have we said our last goodbyes
I won't believe that you told summertime lies
I won't believe that you told summertime lies
Summertime lies

You Made Me Believe In Magic


You Made Me Believe In Magic
Composer(s): Len Boone
Performer(s): The Bay City Rollers; Menage



I believe that love has gone
I've no strength to carry on
Thought my world was upside down
Then you walked on into my life
I went to work to set things right
What's the secret that, that you used

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

Now I'm filled with a new sense to be
You gave my life harmony
Loving you is all I, all I need

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

Oh, you made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

You made me believe in magic
You know that I can be true to your love
You made me believe in magic
Your love's put a magic into my life

I'm a-gonna raise a fuss, I'm a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and poppa told me, "Son you gotta make some money,
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Now you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!...
I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

You Made A Fool Of Me


You Made A Fool Of Me
Performer(s): The New Inspiration



I found a love
A sweet sweet love
She made a fool of me
I looked with eyes who didn't see
What she was doing,
Didn't see what she was doing, at all
Not at all

Oh why did you make a fool of me?
Oh why did you make a fool of me?

The dream is over
Over and over
There won't be no more singing
I only will be thinking of you
Who made me happy
Sometimes you made me happy
But now, no more now

Oh why did you make a fool of me?
Oh why did you make a fool of me?

I found a love
A sweet sweet love
The sweet, sweetest love
But she made a fool of me

Oh why did you make a fool of me?
Oh why, why, why did you?
Make a fool …………

La Fille De L'été Dernier


La Fille De L'été Dernier
((Adapted from: Summertime Blues (by Eddie Cochran) - 1958))
Composer(s): Jerry Capehart - Eddie Cochran - Long Chris
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday - 1975

Titles In Other Languages:
1979 - Sommer Depression (by Rock Nalle & The Flames)
1991 - Sommertid Blues (by Torfrock)



Je ne veux pas perdre de temps
Il y a autre chose sur terre
Que travailler pendant l'été
Pour gagner une misère
Ouais au téléphone quand j'appelle
La fille que je préfère
Mon patron me dit
T'as du travail à faire
Parfois je me demande
Qui veut m'empêcher
De rencontrer la fille de l'été dernier

Elle m'a donné rendez-vous
Et j'ai soigné ma coiffure
Mais mon père et ma mère
M'ont retiré leur voiture
Ouais je n'ai pas travaillé
J'ai dit que j'étais malade
T'as du travail à faire, fils
Pas de balade
Parfois je me demande
Ce que je peux faire
Pour retrouver
La fille de l'été dernier

Je prendrai le premier train
Je n'attendrai pas l'été
Et j'enverrai tous mes problèmes
Au bureau de l'Elysée
Ouais j'ai vu le président
Il avait l'air étonné
J'aimerais t'aider
Mais tu es trop jeune pour voter
Parfois je me demande
Ce qu'il y a de pire que de vouloir aimer
Une fille en été

You Lost The Sweetest Boy


You Lost The Sweetest Boy
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier;
Brian Holland; Eddie Holland
Performer(s): Mary Wells; Dusty Springfield



(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)

You had the sweetest boy in the world
Without a doubt you were the envy of every girl
You're the kind that's never satisfied
You want every boy to pass you by
But the tables turned (the tables turned)
'Cause his words tell you're done
Now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You thought it was fun to make the boys run

Chorus:
You lost the sweetest boy that you had that time
The sweetest boy that you had

'Cause now he's hangin' around my door
More happier than before
Now you're in misery 'cause you lost him to me
Now the hurt's on you, now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
You made bets, any boy you could get
(chorus)

(instrumental)

(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)
(Oh yeah)

Yes, your loss is my gain
'Cause straight into my arms he came
You want every boy to pass you by
Now the hurt's on you, now the hurt's on you
Your little scheme backfired, it's true
Now tears of regret just covered your face

(repeat chorus and fade)

Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is fine

Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But till that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you

You Light Up My Life


You Light Up My Life
Composer(s): Joe Brooks
Performer(s): Debby Boone;
and various other artists



So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song

It can't be wrong
When it feels so right
'Cause You
You light up my life

Summer's Gone


Summer's Gone
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka



Summer's gone and no songbirds are singing
Because you're gone, gone from my arms
Gone from my lips but you're still in my heart

What to do? Oh, I'm left here just crying
Over you, oh, I'm so blue
What can I do now that you're gone?

The days, they prolong now that you're gone
My nights, they leave me blue (you're so blue)
I don't know why there are tears in my eyes
Can it be that I'm still in love with you?

Summer's gone and no songbirds are singing
Because you're gone, gone from my arms (from my arms)
Gone from my lips (from my lips) but still in my heart
(Still in my heart, still in my heart)

Summer's gone and no songbirds are singing
Because you're gone, gone from my arms
Gone from my lips but still in my heart
(Summer's gone but you're still in my heart)

Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
Almost gone

Noon burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Where will we be
Where will we be

Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea

We had some good times
But they're gone
The winter's comin' on
Summer's almost gone

You Know What I Mean (Corinne Griffith & Robert Fraser)


You Know What I Mean
Composer(s): Alfred Dubin; Fred Rath
Performer(s): Corinne Griffith & Robert Fraser



I've been dreaming, I've been dreaming
I've been scheming too
I hope my dreams come true
It all depends on you
I'm suspecting, I'm suspecting
That your eyes have seen
There's something wrong with me
And you know what I mean!

When we're married, when we're married
We'll go down to Cook's
Look through their tourist books
And pick some shady nooks
Then we'll visit those exquisite, Tropic Island scenes
The kind you read about
In all the magazines!

Oh I'm just crazy 'bout your kisses, honey
You know what I mean
For when your lips meet mine
I feel so funny
You know what I mean
You're just a dream of lovliness
You surely know just how to dress
You play and sing, and everything
So different from the rest
I'd like to hear the preacher say that we are
You know what I mean
And in a year or so we both may have a little
Ford machine
We'll find a little cottage where the roses bloom
With a parlor and a kitchen and a dining room
And a room upstairs
Where we'll say our pray'rs,
Oh, you know what I mean
I've been dreaming, I've been dreaming
I've been scheming too
I hope my dreams come true
It all depends on you
I'm suspecting, I'm suspecting
That your eyes have seen
There's something wrong with me
And you know what I mean!

When we're married, when we're married
We'll go down to Cook's
Look through their tourist books
And pick some shady nooks
Then we'll visit those exquisite, Tropic Island scenes
The kind you read about
In all the magazines!

Oh I'm just crazy 'bout your kisses, honey
You know what I mean
For when your lips meet mine
I feel so funny
You know what I mean
You're just a dream of lovliness
You surely know just how to dress

Summerlove Sensation


Summerlove Sensation
((French Version: Petit Rainbow (by Sylvie Vartan) - 1977))
Composer(s): William Wylie MacPherson Martin - Phil Coulter
First release by: Bay City Rollers - 1974



The summer sun sitting high in the sky
And love that's in everyone's eye
Now the waitin' the anticipating' is over
Over, over
You feel loose and get out in the sun
Summer's here and we're gonna have fun
Two weeks are past and at last
We can really feel free

And you can run in the sun
Having' fun with the one that you really love
Walk in the sand hand in hand
With the boy that you met on vacation
And on a warm summer night it's all right
When he says, baby I love you
Then boy oh boy you're enjoying'
That summerlove sensation

And you're right on the down of the sea
On the beach where the gang's gonna be
We can stay there all day
Until the fall is over over over
In the evening he's waiting for you
And you go to the beach barbecue
And you'll all have a ball till dawn

You Know What I Mean (Phil Collins)


You Know What I Mean
Composer(s): Phil Collins; Mark Mancina
Performer(s): Phil Collins; Frida



Just as I thought I'd make it
You walk back into my life
Just like you never left

Just as I'd learned to be lonely
You call up to tell me
You're not sure if you're ready
But ready or not, you'll take what you've got and leave

Leave me alone with my heart
I'm putting the pieces back together again
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
I can do without you, know what I mean...

I wish I could write a love song
To show you the way I feel
Seems you don't like to listen
Oh but like it or not, take what you've got and leave

Leave me alone with my heart
It's broken in two and I'm not thinking too straight
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
You've taken everything else, you know what I mean
