You Took My Breath Away
You Took My Breath Away
Composer(s): The Traveling Wilburys
Performer(s): The Traveling Wilburys
You took my breath away
Now I want it back again
Look at the mess I'm in
I don't know what to say
I don't know how to feel
You don't care anyway
All I can do is write
You took my breath away
You took this song of mine,
And changed the little bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words don't fit
It's getting hard to rhyme
Impossible to play
I've tried it many times
You took my breath away
One day when the sun is shining
There will be that silver lining
You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I can't see where I'm going
I can't tell where I've been
I don't know how to feel
This hasn't been my day
Seems like I've lost a wheel
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away

My wish for you
Sweet happy life
May all the days of
The year that you live
Be laughing days

Moons for your hair
And someone's wonderful love
For your loving arms to share
My wish for you
Sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone
And your heart begin to sing
And if a wish can make it be
I wish you'd spend every day
Of your happy life with me
Stars for your smile
Moons for your hair
And someone's wonderful love
For your loving arms to share
My wish for you
Sweet happy life
May all your sorrows be gone
And your heart begin to sing
And if a wish can make it be
I wish you'd spend every day
Of your happy life with me
Sweet happy life
Sweet happy life

You Took Advantage Of Me
You Took Advantage Of Me
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald;
and various other artists
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use of trying not to fall?
I have no will, you've made your kill
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So, what's the use,
you've cooked my goose
'Cause you took advantage of me!
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't
know my elbow from my ear
I suffer something awful each time you go
And much worse when you're near
Here I am with all my bridges burned
Just a babe in arms where
you're concerned
So lock the doors and call me yours
'Cause you took advantage of me

Sweet Guinevere
Sweet Guinevere
Composer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot
Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight
And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA
You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine
So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you’re kind
She loves a young man and he lives in the town
He leaves the house early for he works underground
He makes a good wage for a coal miner’s son
And she’s a bit pretty, just turned twenty-one
Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight
And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA
You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine
So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, shut the blind
She knows her good mother’s not feelin’ no pain
She remembers an explosion and the black falling rain
She paints her thin lips in her dewy-eyed way
Then she says to the daughter, dear daughter I pray
Sweet Guinevere you’re off to the coal town tonight
And your young brother Ernie’s up in Pittsburgh PA
You know mother loves you, and dad’s in the mine
So don’t go to the coal town, Guinevere, if you’re kind

You To Me Are Everything
You To Me Are Everything
Composer(s): Michael Denne; Ken Gold
Performer(s): The Real Thing
and various other artists
Oohh I would take the stars out of the sky for you
Stop the rain from falling if you asked me to
I'd do anything for you, your wish is my command
I can move a mountain when your hand is in my hand
Words could not express how much you mean to me
There must be some other way to make you see
If it takes my heart and soul you know I'll pay the price
Everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice
Oh you to me are everything
the sweetest song that I could sing
Oh baby, oh baby
To you I guess I'm just a clown
Who picks you up each time you're down
Oh baby, oh baby
You give me just a taste of love
To build my hopes upon
You know you've got the power girl
To keep me holding on
So now you've got the best of me
C'mon and take the rest of me
Oh baby
Though you're close to me we seem so far apart
Maybe given time you'll have a change of heart
If it takes forever girl then I'm prepared to wait
The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late
Oh you to me are everything
the sweetest song that I could sing
Oh baby, oh baby
To you I guess I'm just a clown
Who picks you up each time you're down
Oh baby, oh baby
You give me just a taste of love
To build my hopes upon
You know you've got the power girl
To keep me holding on
So now you've got the best of me
C'mon and take the rest of me
Oh baby
Oh you to me are everything
the sweetest song that I could sing
Oh baby, oh baby
To you I guess I'm just a clown
Who picks you up each time you're down
Oh baby, oh baby
You give me just a taste of love
To build my hopes upon
You know you've got the power girl
To keep me holding on
So now you've got the best of me
C'mon and take the rest of me
Oh baby

Sweet Georgia Brown
Sweet Georgia Brown (aka Bright Mississippi)
Composer(s): Ben Bernie - Kenneth Casey - Maceo Pinkard
First release by: Ben Bernie and His Hotel Roosevelt Orch. - 1925
Covered by multiple other artists
She just got here yesterday
Things are hot here now they say
There's a new gal in town
Gals are jealous, there's no doubt
All the guys just rave about
Sweet, Sweet Georgia Brown
And ever since she came, the common folks all claim, say
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!)
It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town
Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down
Fellas that she can't get must be fellas that she ain't met
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her, Sweet Georgia Brown
All you gals will get the blues
all you pals will surely lose
And, there's but one excuse
Now I've told you who she was
and I've told you what she does
Still, give this gal her dues
This pretty maiden's prayer is answered anywhere
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I'll tell you just why, you know I don't lie (not much!)
All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown
They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down
Fellas, won'tcha tip your hats
Oh boy, ain't she the cats?
Who's that mister, 't ain't her sister
It's Sweet Georgia Brown

You Think Of Everything
You Think Of Everything
Composer(s): Joseph McCarthy; James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Connie Haines;
Dick Haymes; Richard Himber; Joe Williams
You think of everything, don’t you?
You think of everything
With every smile, you bring sunshine my way
Your thoughts are all in my direction
And yet you don’t intrude
And when I am low and need affection
You anticipate my mood
You think of everything, don’t you?
It’s like a dream affair
If I need anything, you’re always there
I can’t remember you forgetting those little things I adore
You think of everything to make you love me more

Sweet Freedom
Sweet Freedom
Composer(s): Rod Temperton
Performer(s): Michael McDonald
No more runnin' down the wrong road
dancin' to a diff'rent drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
deep inside your heart?
Always searchin' for the real thing
livin' like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin' the key
when you believe it
(Shine sweet freedom)
(Shine your light on me)
You are the magic
you're right where I wanna be
(Oh sweet freedom carry me along)
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on
We'll be dancin' in the moonlight
smilin' with the risin' sun
Livin' like we've never done
goin' all the way
Reachin' out to meet the changes
touchin' every shining star
The light of tomorrow is right where we are
There's no turnin' back
from what I'm feeling
(Shine sweet freedom)
(Shine your light on me)
You are the magic
you're right where I wanna be
(Oh sweet freedom carry me along)
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on
'Cause there'll be starlight all night
when we're close together
Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes
Tonight they're guiding us
shinin' till the mornin' light

You Tell Me Your Dream
You Tell Me Your Dream
Composer(s): Charles N. Daniels;
Albert H. Brown; Seymour Rice; Gus Kahn
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis;
and various other artists
All day today I was thinking
Of a time, a long time ago
When I told you I had a dream
And in my dream you wanted me for you
I couldn't tell you my secret
So I laughed and just shook my head
You didn't give up that easy
And I still hear the words that you said
You had a dream dear, I had one too
My dream was best, 'cause it was of you
Come sweetheart tell me, now is the time
You tell me your dream, I'll tell you mine
You said you dreamed I had promised
That someday we would be wed
And that was exactly like my dream
And I couldn't believe what you said
But now we're both so happy
Everything turned out fine
You tell me your dream, I'll tell you mine
----------
As recorded by The Ink Spots:
I had a dream, dear
You had one, too
Mine was the best dream
Because it was of you
Come, sweetheart, tell me
Now is the time
You tell me your dream
And I'll tell you mine
Monologue:
Darlin' I had a dream, dear
Ya know, I think you had one, too
But I KNOW mine was the BEST dream, ya know why?
Ha! 'cause it was of you
Come 'ere, baby
Why don't you tell me your dream?
Darlin', 'cause right now is the time
All you gotta do is tell me YOUR dream know what I'll do?
Baby, I'll tell you mine
I had a dream, dear
You had one, too
Mine was the best dream
Because it was of you
Come, sweetheart, tell me
Now is the time
You tell me your dream
And I'll tell you mine

Sweet Forget-Me-Nots
Sweet Forget-Me-Nots
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Roy Daniels
Fancy brings a thought to me
Of a flower bright and fair
Her grace and beauty both combine
More lovely and more rare
Like a maiden I once knew
Who shared my happy lot
Where we parted when she whispered
'You'll forget me not'
She's graceful and she's charming like the lilies in the pond
Time was gliding swiftly by, of her I'd grown so fond
The roses and the daisies they bloom around the spot
Where we parted when she whispered 'You'll forget me not'
I must admit I don't know where
But it's really all the same
Love grows in the village street
And all around the lane
I gently took her tiny hand
A glance at me she shot
She dropped a flower
I picked it up
'Twas a sweet forget-me-not'
Then there came a happy day
When something that I said
Caused her lips to mumble 'Yes'
And shortly we were wed
Now a cottage by a lane
In a little garden spot
Grows a flower, you know it well
It's a sweet forget-me-not

You Tell Me Why
You Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Ron Elliott
Performer(s): The Beau Brummels; Leo Kottke
You tell me that I should not cry
You tell me "All good things must die"
You ask me why I get upset
You tell me that I will forget
Tell me why-eye-eye
You say I-I can't be blue for long
You say I'll find new love that's strong
You tell me she was not for me
It's just the way love has to be
Tell me why-eye-eye
Why I cannot see her
She won't let me see her
Te-ell, te-ell, tell me why
You tell me I will find my way
Tomorrow won't be like today
You tell me life was meant to be
One-third good, two-thirds misery
Tell me why-eye-eye
(instrumental to end)

'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eatin' from your hand

You Take The Table And I'll Take The Chairs
You Take The Table And I'll Take The Chairs
Composer(s): John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): Bob Gallion;
June Webb; Miki and Griff; Claude Gray
So here we are breakin' up our home
To go our sep'rate ways all alone
Go take your love you just wouldn't share
You take the table and I'll take the chairs
Breaking up a home that was so sweet
Sorting out the things we want to keep
A perfect way to start a life of care
You take the table and I'll take the chairs
What a shame to see such pretty things
Seperated like our wedding rings
From the basement to the attic stair
You take the table and I'll take the chairs
Life is oh so useless since you're gone
All I do is sit and weep alone
With a heart that's too blue to bear
Since you took the table and I took the chairs

Sweet Eloise, sing the birds in the trees
When she is near you can hear them
Singing sweet melodies
They're just for my Eloise

Sweet Eloise is a beautiful sight
Old Mr. Moon comes around to
Look at her every night
Her smile's a warm summer breeze
(The smile of Eloise)
And though there may be clouds in the skies
There's always sunshine deep in her eyes
In case you didn't know, roses grow hopin' some day
They'll be pressed and caressed in her bouquet
Sweet Eloise is so lovely to love
You will agree she's the only girl
That you're dreamin' of
But you'll be wastin' your time
`Cause Eloise is all mine
(She's all mine)
Sweet Eloise is so lovely to love
That you will agree she's the only girl
That you're dreamin' of
But you'll be wastin' your time
`Cause Eloise is all mine
(So don't you give her a line `cause Eloise is all mine)

You Take My Breath Away
Composer(s): Thereza Bazar - David Van Day
Performer(s): Dollar
Funny faces look at the way that we live
We're on prime time
Going places you're just so good to be with
Huh you're a major sensation
Don't hand around we gotta live it while we can
And you set the style and when I see you smile
I don't believe you do what you do
'Cause you take my breath away
We gotta live every day now
You take my breath away want to say
It doesn't happen everyday someone like you
Should be there to help me through
Oh you take my breath away
Strange sensations feel like I'm floating on air
Like the sunshine
Good vibrations follow you round everywhere
You know you're walking a fine line
Don't hang around we gotta live it while we can
And you set the style and when I see you smile
I don't believe you do what you do
'Cause you take my breath away
We gotta live every day now
You take my breath away want to say
It doesn't happen everyday someone like you
Should be there to help me through
Oh you take my breath away
It doesn't happen everyday someone like you
Should be there to help me through
Why don't you admit how you take my breath away
We gotta live everyday now
You (you) take my breath away
We gotta live everyday now
You take my breath away
We gotta live everyday now
(Repeat) ...

First release by: Don Gibson - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists
Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you and start my life anew
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
You don't love me, it's plain
I should know I'll never wear your ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
