Were You Sincere?


Were You Sincere?
Composer(s): Vincent Rose - Lyrics: Jack Meskill
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists



One night lives forever in my memory
That night we met beneath the moon
And you vowed that for ever my love you would be!
Oh tell me, how could you forget so soon?

Were you sincere when you made a vow
That night 'neath the moon above?
That night when you said, "I love you!"
Were you sincere?

Were you sincere when you held my hand
And said you were mine alone
And I was your one and only
Were you sincere?

To think you promised me that we'd never be apart
And to think I trusted you and woke with a broken heart!

Must I regret that night that we met
The night heaven seemed so near?
Were you just pretending, dear
Or were you sincere?

To think you promised me that we'd never be apart
And to think I trusted you, then I woke with a broken heart!

Must I regret that night that we met
The night heaven seemed so near?
Were you just pretending, dear
Or were you sincere?

How I Love You


How I Love You
Composer(s): Sandro Anderle; Oscar Anderle; Pamela Phillips-Oland
Performer(s): Engelbert Humperdinck



You hold me in your eyes
In your own special way
I wonder how you know
The things I never say
I can't imagine life
Without you by my side
The power of your love
Is all I need tonight

I know there have been times
That I have caused you pain
I'd turn them all around
If I could start again
There is something I must say
I know it's overdue
The sweetest thing I've known
Or ever called my own
Begins and ends with you

How I love you
How I love you

The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

So come into my arms
Lay down by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight
I've reached so very high
For everything that's mine
And at the top is you
I want you for all time
And dream forever you

How I love you
How I love you

The softness of your lips
The color of your hair
The memory of your touch
Remains when you're not there
The echoes of your laughter
When I'm feeling blue
The meaning of my life
It all begins with you

So come into my arms
Lay down by my side
The moon is always there
To keep our love alight
You know me like a book
You've read a thousand times
We know each other's hearts
We read each other's minds
These feelings are always new

How I love you
How I love you

A Minute Of Your Time (Tom Jones)


A Minute Of Your Time
Composer(s): Clive Westlake
Performer(s): Tom Jones; Melodian Pops Orch.



For you to think of me
It would only take a minute of your time
To spare one thought for me
Would you miss just one minute of your time?

When you are far away
I'd like to be part of your time each day
So think of me

A minute of your time
Is all it takes to bring us close
When we are far apart

And if I'm on your mind
I know that there's a chance
You'll find that I'm there in your heart
One minute ev'ry day
May help to keep the wolf away
Until that moment you are back to stay
But better still I'd like to think of me
Ev'ry minute of your time

How How How


How How How
Composer(s): Roger Chapman
Performer(s): Roger Chapman



I caught a plane going out to Cuba
We got hijacked up in the sky
I fell in love with a rebel leader

She dropped me off somewhere in Paraguay
How
how
how if you could see me now

This mad
mad love pulls me to pieces
Boom
boom
boom - I'm wired to the moon

This mad
mad love of mine increases

Went overland with a desert chieffan

We rode that caravan for days
His number one wife started peeping
Behind that viel I fell in love again
How
how
how if you could see me now

This mad
mad love confuses the sences

Hear flashing lights see ringing bells
Start climbing walls and jumping fences

And I'm totally under its spell

How
how
how if you could see me now

How
how
how
how
how if you could see me now

How
how
how if you could see me now

A Minute Of Your Time (Gilbert O'Sullivan)


A Minute Of Your Time
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



I've got a good position here, my boss is proud of me
He said so in a letter that he wrote the other week
My parents too are happy, which is nice
For without their encouragement I never would have tried
But now much to their horror, I've decided I might quit
What's the point of working hard when I can hardly live
The key to my survival lies with you
Don't ask me what you've got, I only know that while you do
For a minute of your time, a minute of your time
I would gladly go with you anywhere
For a minute of your time, a minute of your time
I'd be happy in despair

It's funny how our lives are mapped out in a certain way
Call it fatalistic if you want to that's okay
The point I'm trying to make, is, as a rule
An error on your part can be a costly one for you
But looking back how often have you thought, well I'll be blowed
If it wasn't for that error, I'd be on a different road
Which leads me very nicely round to you
You know how much I love you and until you love me too

For a minute of your time a minute of your time
I would gladly go with you anywhere
For a minute of your time, a minute of your time
I'd be happy in despair
For a minute of your time, a minute of your time
Even though it may not seem that long to you
For a minute of your time, a minute of your time
Even less for me would do

I don't suppose you'd ever think of moving in with me
Lots of people do it, it's quite common I believe
This may come as a shock, even to you
But I'm the one who feels this way and here's what I would do
For a minute of your time, ...

How How


How How
Composer(s): Boris Blank; Dieter Meier
Performer(s): Yello



My life is in a serious mess
My baby is gone, there's heavy mental stress
I never knew love but I know it now
I wanna give her my heart, but how how

I never knew love but I know it now
I wanna give her my heart, but how how
How how

Maybe I should buy her a beautiful dress
Maybe gold and diamonds, and no more stress
I decide to call her, it drives me insane
Then she's on the line and tells me "don't be vain"

I decide to call her, it drives me insane
But then she's on the line and tells me I take the blame
You [? ] little fool and you know what I miss
No diamonds, no gold, just a kiss
Just a kiss

I got nothing to lose so I know it doesn't matter
I do it the old way and write her a letter
I know how much I love you and I need you now
You're the one and only and you tell me how

Now I'm out of trouble and a serious mess
My baby is back, no more stress
You know how much I love you and I need you now
I'll give you my heart, just tell me how how
How how

A Miner's Life


A Miner's Life
Composer(s): Keith Little
Performer(s): The Country Gentlemen



Fair warnin' to your neighbor
For all of those who labor
At tryin' to make a livin' underground
Matters not for what you're seeking,
Chances are you'll weakin'
In time the odds will turn your life around

In the coal fields of Kentucky
Man they say you're lucky
In the black lung don't put you underground
For while you're swollen with the gold dust
You're breathin' in the course dust
Your silicosis finally dragged you down

Ch. Hear that cold steel a ringin'
Hear them hammers swingin' low
A minor's life ain't hardly worth it all
Hear them tommy-knockers knockin'
Feel the reelin' and rockin'
Afraid it's goin' a come in after all

For every minor who hits pay dirt
And lives to tell it under
A thousand more arw swallowed in the mine
And for each decent minin' outfit
There's a hundred other misfits
Who never plan to see a man retire

So when choosin' your profession
Take heed and learn a lesson
From those who've lived to labor underground
Cause they've got a different story
For minin' and its glory
They'd give it all to turn their life around

How High The Moon


How High The Moon
Composer(s): Nancy Hamilton; Morgan Lewis
Performer(s): Les Paul & Mary Ford;
and various other artists



Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

A Millones De Km De Aquí


A Millones De Km De Aquí
Composer(s): Miguel Bosé - Lanfranco Ferrario - Massimo Grilli
Performer(s): Miguel Bosé



Soy yo acaso quien te confunde
O eres tú quien no se aclara
Soy yo acaso quien no te entiende
O eres tú quien sabe y calla
O eres tú quien se lo calla
Puede ser que yo me esconda
Pero tú, tú no me buscas
Tú no me buscas
Puede ser que yo llegue tarde
Y que más da si tú no me esperas
Que más da si no me esperas
Y en esta noche
Maldita última noche
Seamos justos, digámonos que sí
O que esta noche pa siempre nos distancie
A millones de Km de aquí
Llones de Km de aquí
Llones de Km de aquí...
Soy yo acaso quién sabe a poco
O eres tú quien sabe a nada
Soy yo acaso quien no te toca
O puede ser que tu no me sientas
¿quién de quien tiene el alma en pena?
¿quién de dos no se sincera?
Puedo ser todo un mar abierto
Y que más da si no me navegas
Que más da si no navegas
Y en esta noche
Maldita y puta noche
Seamos serios, digámonos que sí
O que esta noche pa siempre nos distancie
A millones de Km de aquí
Porque esta noche
Podemos acercarnos
Basta mirarnos, nos basta un solo sí
O qué remedio esta noche nos condene
A millones de Km
Llones de Km
Llones de Km de aquí...
Soy yo acaso
O eres tú...
Millones de Km de aquí...

When The Night Comes


When The Night Comes
Composer(s): Bryan Adams; Jim Vallance; Diane Warren
Performer(s): Joe Cocker



Hold on
I'll be back for you
It won't be long
But for now there's something else
That's calling me
So take me down a lonesome road
Point me east and let me go
That suitcase weighs me down
With memories

I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes

Two spirits
in the night
That can leave before the morning light
When there's nothing left to lose
And nothing left to fear
So meet me on the edge of town
Won't keep you waiting I'll be 'round
Then you and I
We'll just roll right out of here

I just wanna be the one you run to
I just wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes

I know there'll be a time for you and I
Just take my hand and run away
Think of all the pieces of the shattered dream
We're gonna make it out some day
We'll be coming back
Coming back to stay
When the night comes

I wanna be the one you run to
When the night comes
To be the one you'd come to
I wanna be the one you run to
Ooh
I just wanna be the one you run to
Wanna be the one you come to
I just wanna be there for someone
When the night comes
Let's put all the cares behind us
And go where they'll never find us
I just wanna be there beside you
When the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night rolls down
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be with you
Ah ah when the night comes
Oh ah when the night comes in
Ah ah oh
Ah ah when the night comes
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna be right by your side
Ah ah when the night comes
Yes baby
Ah ah oh
Don't do that to me woman
Ah ah oh
Ever stayed when the night time gets in here
Ah ah when the night comes
I wanna rise and up in the
When the night comes
Ah ah when the night comes
Ah ah oh
Love me

How Great Thou Art


How Great Thou Art
Composer(s): Carl G. Boberg; R.J. Hughes
Performer(s): Mahalia Jackson



O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin

Chorus

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Chorus

A Million Years Or So


A Million Years Or So
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Performer(s): Roger Miller; Susie Arioli; Vikki Carr



I’m not worried, ’cos I know
I’ll forget you in a million years or so
I’ll miss you, but I know
I won’t miss you but a million years or so

How I loved you, loved you so
How I lost you, maybe time and tide will let me know

But I’m not worried, ’cos I know
I’ll forget you in a million years or so
I’ll miss you, but I know
I won’t miss you but a million years or so

How Glad I Am


How Glad I Am
Performer(s): Kiki Dee



My love has no beginning, my love has no end
No front no back, my love won't bend
I'm in the middle, I'm lost in a spin
Loving you
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
How glad I am

My love has no bottom, my love has no top
My love won't rise, my love won't drop
I'm in the middle, and I can't stop
Loving you
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
How glad I am

I wish I was a poet, so that I could express
What I, what I like to say
I wish I was an artist, so that I could paint a picture
Of how I feel, how I feel today, today

My love has no walls on either side
That makes my love whiter than white
I'm in the middle, no and I can't hide
Loving you
And you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
How glad I am
No you don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know
How glad I am
How glad I am
How glad I am

A Million To One


A Million To One
Composer(s): Phil Medley - Teddy Randazzo
Performer(s): Jimmy Charles
and multiple other artists



A million to one
That's what our folks think about this love of ours
A million to one
They say that our love will fade like yesterday's flowers
They're betting everything that our love won't survive
They're hoping (hoping) in time we'll forget
Each others' lies.

A million to one
They feel we're too young to know the meaning of love
A million to one
That they've forgotten the dreams that we're dreaming of
But we'll forgive them because we love them
After all is said and done
Dear one, in a million, a million to one

(But we'll forgive them because we love them)
After all is said and done
Dear one, in a million, a million to one

How Far Is Heaven


How Far Is Heaven
Composer(s): Tillman Franks; Jimmie Davis
Performer(s): Kitty Wells;
Ginger Boatwright; The Forbes Family



A little girl was waiting for her daddy one day
It was time to meet him, when she heard her mommy say
Come to mommy, darling, please do not cry
Daddy's gone to heaven, way up in the sky

Chorus:
How far is heaven, when can I go
To see my daddy, he's there, I know
How far is heaven, let's go tonight
I want my daddy to hold me tight

He was called so suddenly and could not say goodbye
I know that he's in heaven, we'll meet him by and by
The little girl trembled, her tears she could not hide
She looked up toward heaven and then she replied

Repeat Chorus

Abie's Irish Rose


Abie's Irish Rose
Composer(s): Mel Tormé - Robert Wells



Have you seen Abie?
He's like a baby with a brand new toy
I've never seen such a bundle of joy
He says that Rosie
Made his life cozy
And I know it's true
And you can make the same thing happen to you
Here's what you do

Take a little time to tip your hat
And don't live a life dull of may-bes
A sample example is Abie's Irish Rose
She doesn't mind if skies are cloudy
Or if birds forget to sing
What ever happens she'll find a little good in ev'rything
You don't have to be a democrat
To walk up and chat with your neighbor
You can't say a hand-shake is labor, heaven knows
If you laugh at the bad things
Work at the glad things
Remember to say your "Hellos"
You'll be happy as Abie
And Abie's Irish Rose

There must be a million (there must be a million)
Teardrops falling down (they're falling down)
Yes, there must be a million (yes, there's one million)

How long I am crying, still I'm yours to commend
Take this love that I give you, here's my heart in my hand

Alone, alone I am crying (Oh, how I cry)
I am yours to commend (I'm yours to commend)
Take this love that I give you (my, my love I give you)
Here's my heart in my hand

A Million Moons Ago


A Million Moons Ago
Composer(s): Dick Gilbert - Paul Insetta
Performer(s): Jerry Vale



A million moons ago you said I love you so
Then suddenly you took your love from me
A million times I've tried
But a million smiles can't hide the ache that lingers way down deep inside

A million sighs have past since you said our love would last
For with the dawn I found that you were gone
A million stars so bright grew cold and lost their light
A million moons ago last night

A million moons ago you said I love you so
Then suddenly you took your love from me
A million stars so bright grew cold and lost their light
A million moons ago last night

How Does The Wine Taste?


How Does The Wine Taste?
Composer(s): Matt Dubbey; Harold Karr
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand; Vikki Carr;
Kristopher McDowell; Carmen McRae



How does the wine taste?
Does it stain your lips?
What is the fruit-like?
Just beyond my finger tips?
Just out of reach I see so much
I cannot taste and mustn't touch
Tied to my little world
My safe little world
What would it be like
If I broke the string?
Would it be lovely
And a little frightening?
There is so much I've never understood
How does the wine taste? is it good?
How does the wine taste?
Does it make you glow?
How does the wine taste?
How does the wine taste?
How does the wine taste?
I think you know!
Ooom...
