What's In A Kiss?
What's In A Kiss?
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just a moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
What's in a dream
Is it all the things you'd like to have been
All the places that you haven't yet seen
Tell me what's in a dream
I know it's really rather stupid of me
But I honestly don't know
Every time I try to find a solution
I'm surprised at how quickly I become so slow
What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
And any time you need a light refreshment
Baby you can count on me
I am your very own delicatessen
Well equipped to supply you with your every need
Well what's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is
More perhaps than just one moment of bliss
Tell me what's in a kiss?
Tell me what's in a kiss?
Tell me what's in a kiss?

Afternoon Tea
Afternoon Tea
Composer(s): Ray Davies
Performer(s): The Kinks
Tea time won't be the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I think about that small cafe
That's where we used to meet each day
And then we used to sit a while
And drink our afternoon tea
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)
You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)
Like you talking to me
Because you ease my mind
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Tea time still ain't the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I went to our cafe one day
They said that Donna walked away
You'd think at least she might have stayed
To drink her afternoon tea
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
I take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
Every day of the week (afternoon tea)
Please come along if you like
Because I like you, girl
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Afternoon Delight
Afternoon Delight
Composer(s): Bill Danoff
Performer(s): Starland Vocal Band
and multiple other artists
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My mother's always been, when it's right it's right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
Then we know the night is always gonna be here anyway
Thinking of you's working up an appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite
And the thought of rubbin' you is gettin' so excited
Sky rocket's in flight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who didn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin'
And I think I might try nibbling a little afternoon delight
Sky rocket's in flight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight
Be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We can make a lot of lovin' 'fore the sun goes down
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rocket's in flight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight
Afternoon delight, afternoon delight

Composer(s): Rory Gallagher
Performer(s): Taste
What's going on
Can you correct my vision?
Helping my decision
What's going on
If you know what I'm meaning
You won't find me kneeling
Should I be standing on a chair?
My hands are waving in the air
You know as well as I do now
I'm going to get to you somehow
What's going on
Everyone acts crazy
Yes or no means maybe
What's going on
Could you correct my vision?
Helping my decision

My love is in and around you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen up baby
I'm happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah

It's everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love

Afterglow (Leo Reisman)
Afterglow
Composer(s): Al Stillman - Samuel "Buck" Ram - Oscar Levant
Performer(s): Leo Reisman
and multiple other artists
The stars refuse to shine
Since you're no longer mine
No crescent moon above
Without your love
Afterglow
The spark of a love that's lost
Afterglow
As pale as the wintry frost
Long ago our love was a fountain of fire
You filled my soul with one desire
Afterglow
No longer my heart will dance
Burning low
The embers of our romance
Still I know
Those embers would burst into flame
If you but called my name

What's Forever For
What's Forever For
Composer(s): Rafe VanHoy
Performer(s): Anne Murray;
and various other artists
I've been lookin' at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seein' are people
Throwin' love away and losing their minds
Maybe it's me who's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurtin' each other
When love is so hard to come by
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?
I've been listenin' to people
And they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe
I see love-hungry people
Tryin' their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even tryin' to keep it alive
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for?

Afterglow (Genesis)
Afterglow
Composer(s): Tony Banks
Performer(s): Genesis
Like the dust that settles all around me
I must find a new home
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter
Are all as one to me now
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before
I miss you more
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow
Bringing the warmth of new life
And the sounds that echoed all around me
I caught a glimpse of in the night
But now, now I've lost everything
I give to you my soul
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before
For now I've lost everything
I give to you my soul
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none
I miss you more

Composer(s): Shay Healey
First performance by: Johnny Logan - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
I've been waiting such a long time
Looking out for you, but you're not here
What's another year?
I've been waking such a long time
Reaching out for you, but you aren't near
What's another year?
What's another year
For someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year
For someone who's getting used to being alone?
I've been praying such a long time
It's the only way to hide the fear
What's another year?
What's another year
For someone who's lost everything that he owns?
What's another year
For someone who's getting used to being alone?
I've been crying such a long time
With such a lot of pain in every tear
What's another year? (For someone who is getting used to being alone)
What's another year? (For someone who is getting used to being alone)
What's another year? (For someone who is getting used to being alone)

First release by: Henry Burr & Albert Campbell - 1918
Covered by multiple other artists
Now won't you listen honey, while I say
How could you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part
Don't break your baby's heart
You know I've loved you for these many years
Loved you night and day...
Oh! honey baby, can't you see my tears?
Listen while I say
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
Someday, when you grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After you've gone and left me cryin'
After you've gone there's no denyin'
You're gonna feel blue, and you're gonna feel sad
You're gonna feel bad
And you'll miss, and you'll miss,
And you'll miss the bestest pal you ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time when you'll regret it
But baby, think what you're doin'
I'm gonna haunt you so, I'm gonna taunt you so
It's gonna drive you to ruin
After you've gone, after you've gone away

What's A Poor Girl Gonna Do?
What's A Poor Girl Gonna Do?
Composer(s): Blanche Calloway
Performer(s): Blanche Calloway
Can't help sighin', feel like dyin
Technocrats are prime mechanical men
Machinery will ruin me
Ain't been so worried in I don't know when!
What's a poor gal gonna do with a man of steel?
One who has been wired for sound, and ain't got no sex appeal?
What's a poor gal gonna do with a mechanical man?
One who is neither Democrat nor Republican?
Gals nowadays are energetic, athletic, and poetic
Without a chance of ruination
What will be their inspiration?
Lordy, hear me while I pray
Please don't take the men away
If they leave this world, I'm asking you
What's a poor gal gonna do?
What's a poor gal gonna do with a man of steel?
One who has been wired for sound, and ain't got no sex appeal?
What's a poor gal gonna do with a mechanical man?
One who is neither Democrat nor Republican?
Gals nowadays are modernistic, want their loving futuristic
Believe me, there's no substitute
For a great big he-man brute
Lord, hear me while I pray
Please don't take the men away
If they leave this world, I'm asking you
What's a poor gal gonna do?

After You, Who?
After You, Who?
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance by: Fred Astaire - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists
Though with joy I should be reeling
That at last you came my way
There's no further use concealing
That I'm feeling far from gay
For the rare allure about you
Makes me all the plainer see
How inane, how vain, how empty life without you would be
After you, who
Could supply my sky of blue?
After you, who
Could I love?
After you, why
Should I take the time to try
For who else could qualify
After you, who?
Hold my hand and swear
You'll never cease to care
For without you there what could I do?
I could search years
But who else could change my tears
Into laughter after you?

After You Turn Out Your Light
Performer(s): Roy Drusky
After you're alone at night who do you think of
After you turn out your light who do you dream of
Could it be that you long to hold another time
Are you still loving me after you turn out your light
You show that you love me by things that you do
But do you still love me when I'm not with you
What goes through your mind when I'm not in sight
Are you still loving me after you turn out your light
What goes through your mind...

What'll You Do About Me?
Composer(s): Dennis Linde
Performer(s): Steve Earle;
and various other artists
All you wanted was a one-night stand
The fire of a wine and the touch of a man
But I fell in love and ruined all of your plans
What'll you do about me?
Imagine the faces on your high-class friends
When I beat on the door and I beg to come in
Screamin' "Come on and love me again"
Now what'll you do about me?
Well you can change your number, you can change your name
You can ride like hell on the midnight train
But that’s alright mama, that’s O.K.
But what'll you do about me?
Picture your neighbors when you try to explain
That good ol' boy standin' out in the rain
With his nose on the window pane
Lady, what'll you do about me?
What in the world are you plannin’ to do
When a man comes over just to visit with you
And I’m on the porch with a 2' by 2'
Tell me what'll you do about me?
Well, you can call your lawyer, you can call the fuzz
You can sound the alarm, wake your neighbours up
There ain't no way to stop a man in love
What'll you do about me?
All you wanted was a one-night stand
The fire of a wine and the touch of a man
But I fell in love and baby here I am
Now what'll you do about me?
Well you can change your number, you can change your name
You can ride like hell on the midnight train
But that’s alright mama, that’s O.K.
But what'll you do about me?
Well you can call your lawyer, you can call the fuzz
You can sound the alarm, wake your neighbours up
There ain't no way to stop a man in love
So what'll you do about me?
What'll you do about me?
What'll you do about me?

After You Put Back The Pieces (I'll Still Have A Broken Heart)
After You Put Back The Pieces (I'll Still Have A Broken Heart)
Composer(s): Morris Broadnax - Clarence Paul - Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Smokey Robinson & the Miracles
Yes, you played the part of my true lover
But then you broke my heart
Now you'II try in vain to piece back a dream
That no longer remains
'Cause I'm tired it's true
Of what I'm going through
It's better if we're apart
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
In playing your games you've broke every promise
And then the heartaches came to us
Although you're tellin' me
That you're so sorry
That you hurt me from the start
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
If my love you miss
Then always remember that you started this
For a heart that is real
If once it is broken
It may never heal
For breakin' hearts with you
Is nothing new
With you it's just an art
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
I know for real
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
I know I know A know I know
After you put back the pieces
I'll still have a broken heart
