Waltz Down The Aisle
Waltz Down The Aisle
Composer(s): Cole Porter
When those bells start to chime to commemorate the happy time
When at last, you can trust yourself to me
For a change, I suggest, that our marriage not be like the rest
But a great deal less long and less gloomy
For our bridemaids we'll choose only dancers from reviews
And only ushers who can turn somersaults
And the old wedding march, so pretentious and so arch
Will give way to a lively waltz
When we waltz down the aisle
Won't the neighbours have the vapours
When we two start the style
Of a waltz down the aisle
What a crush, what a rush
Delegations, populations
Will be there wearing a smile
When we waltz down the aisle
Just a moment of delaying
Then the organ starts to boom
What is that thing he's playing
Why it's "here comes the bride and the groom"
Off we go, to and fro
To the altar, and the halter
What a treat, for the rank and file
When we waltz down the aisle
Just a moment of delaying
Then the organ starts to boom
What is that thing he's playing
Why it's "here comes the bride and the groom"
Off we go, to and fro
To the altar, and the halter
What a treat for the rank and file
When we waltz down the aisle

Un giorno sa, per noi verra
La liberta di amarci qui senza limiti
E fiorira il sogno a noi negato
Si svelera l'amor celato ormai
Un giorno sai, per vivere
La vita che ci sfugge qui
L'amore in noi superera
Gli ostacoli e le maree delle avversita (dell'ostilita)
E ci sara anche per noi nel mondo Un tempo in cui l'amore vincera
Per te per me
L'amore in noi superera
Gli ostacoli e le maree delle avversita (dell'ostilita)
E ci sara anche per noi nel mondo Un tempo in cui l'amore vincera
Un tempo in cui l'amore vincera

Waltz At Maxim's
Waltz At Maxim's
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Hank Jones;
and various other artists
She's so gay tonight
She's like spring tonight
She's a rollicking, frollicking thing tonight
So disarming, soft and charming
She is not thinking of me
No, she's not thinking of me
In her eyes tonight
There's a glow tonight
They're so bright they could light
Fountainbleu tonight
She's so gracious
So vivacious
She is not thinking of me
Bless her little heart
Crooked to the core
Acting out a part
What a rollicking, frollicking bore!
She's such fun tonight
She's a treat tonight
You could spread her on bread
She's so sweet tonight
So devoted, sugar-coated
That it's heart-warming to see
Oh, she's simmering with love
Oh, she's shimmering with love
Oh, she's not thinking of me!
She is not thinking of me
Someone has set her on fire
Is is Jacques?
Is it Paul or Leon?
Who's turning her furnace up higher?
Oh she's hot but it's not
For Gaston!
Oh, she's gay tonight
Oh, so gay tonight
A gigantic romantic cliche tonight
How she blushes
How she gushes
How she fills me with ennui!
She's so ooh la la la la
So untrue la la la la!
Oh, she's not thinking of me!

A Time For Love
A Time For Love
Composer(s): Johnny Mandel - Paul Francis Webster
Performer(s): Tony Bennett - 1966
and multiple other artists
A time for summer skies
For hummingbirds and butterflies
For tender words that harmonize with love
A time for climbing hills
For leaning out of windowsills
Admiring daffodils above
A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love
A time for holding hands together
A time for rainbow coloured weather
A time of make believe that we've been dreaming of
As time goes drifting by
The willow bends and so do I
But all my friends whatever skies above
I know a time for spring
A time for fall
But best of all
A time for love

Waltz Across Texas Tonight
Waltz Across Texas Tonight
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell; Emmylou Harris
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris
The wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries
When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
But if you listen tonight on that high, lonely plain
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
You've been on a road that just don't seem to end
Where that broken old heart of yours won't ever mend
You've crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
So many rivers and so much to learn
So many bridges and so much to learn
But the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
We both have known hard luck
And love that's gone wrong
When the ghosts take the shadows and
The night takes too long
We folded our cards when the hand wasn't strong
But that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone
And the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight and I'll
Waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight
I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight

Time For Love
Time For Love
Composer(s): Ritchie Adams - Mark Barkan
Performer(s): The Archies
Sunshine, shining brightly
Clouds are smilin' up above
My heart is singing lightly
Time, time, time for love
My mind is berry pickin'
All the things I'm dreamin' of
My heart's a clock tock-tickin'
Time, time, time for love
Whoa-oa
Yesterday I was sad (so sad)
Everything looked so bad
Every hour was painted blue
Till the minute I met you
Now each day we're spendin'
We're together hand in glove
We've got never-endin'
Time, time, time, time, time for love
Whoa-oa
Yesterday I was sad (so sad)
Everything looked so bad
Every hour was painted blue
Till the minute I met you
Now each day we're spendin'
We're together hand in glove
We've got never-endin'
Time, time, time, time, time for love

Waltz Across Texas
Waltz Across Texas
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb; Talmadge Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
When we dance together, my world's in disguise
It's a fairy land tale that's come true
And when you look at me with those stars in your eyes
I could waltz across Texas with you
Chorus:
Waltz across Texas with you in my arms
Waltz across Texas with you
Like a storybook ending, I'm lost in your charms
And I could waltz across Texas with you
My heartaches and troubles are just up and gone
The moment that you come in view
And with your hand in mine, dear, I could dance all night long
I could waltz across Texas with you
Repeat Chorus

A Thousand Years (Toto)
A Thousand Years
Composer(s): David Paich - Joseph Williams - Mark T. Williams
Performer(s): Toto
Day after day, I feel myself slowing down, what does it mean?
The air has changed, it's getting harder to breathe, or so it would seem
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine
A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
Tell me my friend, can you imagine a place free of boundaries and lies
There's blood on the wind and it's come all of the way from faraway skies
Take me away to a different world where everything's fine
A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years
Sail me away to a distant shore, where everything's fine
A thousand years, lost in the blink of an eye
If the sky keeps fallin', the world will come tumblin' down
In a thousand years
A thousand years, one day for every life
Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years

Walter, Walter (Lead Me To The Altar)
Walter, Walter (Lead Me To The Altar)
Composer(s): Haines; Harper; Forrester
Performer(s): Gracie Fields
Walter and me 'ave been courtin' for years
But he's never asked me to wed
When Leap Year comes round
I give three hearty cheers
Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray
Because I do the asking instead
I don't want to die an old maid
So I sing him this serenade
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
I'll make a better man of you
Walter! Walter! Buy the bricks and mortar
And we'll build a love nest for two
My bottom drawer's all packed and ready
My bridal gown's as good as new
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
And make all my nightmares come true
I took him round to the furniture shop
And I showed him a nice double bed
But when I felt sure
That the question he'd pop
He popped to the pictures instead
I still have to play the same part
He must know this chorus by heart
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
I don't cost much to keep in food
Walter! Walter! Mother says you oughter
So get me while she's in the mood
You know I'm very fond of chickens
We'll raise a lovely little brood
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
And I'll show you where I'm tattooed
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
Don't say I've met my Waterloo
Walter! Walter! Tears are tasting salter
And I've lost my handkerchief too
Don't muck the goods about no longer
My old age pension's nearly due
Walter! Walter! Lead me to the altar
It's either the Workhouse or you

A Thousand Years (Pat Boone)
A Thousand Years
Composer(s): Red West
Performer(s): Pat Boone
Although my heart is heavily burdened
And my eyes can’t hold back the tears
Well I know that in time
I will have peace of mind
But it may take a thousand years, oh - oh
But it may take a thousand years
Well you walked out and left me this morning
And you didn’t even say goodbye
Well no matter how hard I tried
I couldn’t keep my pride
And I broke right down and I cried, cry, cry
Yes I broke right down and I cried
Well you didn’t even give me a reason, oh no
Well you didn’t say what I done wrong
All I know is you’re gone
And now I’m alone
Yes, you’re gone and now I’m alone
Well they say that time heals all heartaches
So I guess I have nothing to fear
‘Cos I know that in time
I will find peace of mind
But it may take a thousand years, oh – oh
But it may take a thousand yearsThey say, and gypsies know
One day many moons ago
Two lovers knew such bliss
A thousand violins played when they would kiss
And now, like days gone by
When two gypsy lovers sigh
A thousand violins, sighing violins
Come from the sky
Oh sweet serenade please come to me
I need your aid to make her see
To make those lips that haunt me so
And taunt me so, want me so
My darling take my heart
And make magic music start
Be still and we may hear
Those thousand violins so near
To make those lips that haunt me so
And taunt me so, want me so
My darling take my heart
And make magic music start
Be still and we may hear
Those thousand violins so near

Walls Of Time
Walls Of Time
Composer(s): Bill Monroe; Peter Rowan
Performer(s): Emmylou Harris;
and various other artists
The wind is blowing across the mountain
Down on the valley way below
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I want to go
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die
I hear a voice out in the darkness
It calls and whispers through the pines
I know it's my sweetheart a-calling
I hear him through the walls of time
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die
Our names are carved upon a tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love would bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side
Lord send the angels for my darling
And take him to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die

Wallflower
Wallflower
Composer(s): Peter Gabriel
Performer(s): Peter Gabriel
6x6 - from wall to wall
Shutters on the windows, no light at all
Damp on the floor you got damp on the bed
They're trying to get you crazy - get you out of your head
They feed you scraps and they feed you lies
To lower your defences, no compromise
Nothing you can do, they day can be long
You mind is working overtime, you body's not too strong
Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone
They take you out - the light burns your eyes
To the talking room - it's not surprise
Loaded questions from clean white coats
Their eyes are all as hidden as their Hipppcratic Oath
They tell you - how to behave, hehave as their guest
You want to resist them, you do your best
They take you to your limits, they take you beyond
For all that they are doing there's no way to respond
Hold on, hold on
They put you in a box so you can't get heard
Let your spirit stay unbroken, may you not be deterred
Hold on, you have gambled with your own life
And you face the night alone
While the builders of the cages
They sleep with bullets, bars and stone
They do not see your road to freedom
That you build with flesh and bone
Though you may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say to you, I will do what I can do
You may disappear, you're not forgotten here
And I will say you you, I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do
And I will do what I can do

A Thousand Thoughts Of You
Composer(s): Sammy Gallop - Ulpio Minucci
Performer(s): Nat King Cole; Lou Lanza
A thousand thoughts of you
Will haunt me ever after
The music of your laughter
Will serenade my heart
A thousand thoughts of you
Will roam the night and find me
With chains of love they'll bind me
To dreams that won't depart
Your face, your smile
The moonlight in your hair
Your lips, your eyes
I'll see them everywhere
A thousand kisses too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you
A thousand kisses too
Will keep me reminiscing
For there'll be no dismissing
A thousand thoughts of you

Performer(s): Ernest Tubb;

You left me and you went away
You said that you'd be back in just a day
You've broken your promise and you left me all alone
I don't know why you did dear, but I do know that you're gone
Chorus:
I'm walking the floor over you
I can't sleep a wink that is true
I'm hoping and I'm praying as my heart breaks right in two
Walking the floor over you
Now darling you know I love you well
I love you more than I can ever tell
I thought that you wanted me and always would be mine
But you went and left me here with troubled mind
Chorus
Now someday you may be lonesome too
Walking the floor is good for you
Just keep right on walking and it won't hurt you to cry
Remember that I love you and I will until I die

Thousand Miles From Nowhere
Thousand Miles From Nowhere
Composer(s): Dwight Yoakam
Performer(s): Dwight Yoakam; Tim O'Brien; Richard D. Shank
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel, cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be
Oh I, oh I, oh I------I, I---I...
I've got bruises on my memories
I've got tearstains on my hands
And in the mirror there's a vision
Of what used to be a man
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don't matter to me
'Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there's no place I wanna be
