When She Makes Music
When She Makes Music
Composer(s): Marvin Fisher; Jack Segal
Performer(s): Jack Jones;
Julie London; George Shearing
All she has to do is say "Hello"
And that's the sweetest melody I know
The sound of angels singing soft and low
When she makes music
Her laughter is an echo in the breeze
That hushes larks and thrushes in the trees
And calms the wave that rushes from the seas
When she makes music
Any time she breathes a sigh
The symphony begins
Every time she says "Goodbye"
A million violins start crying
The song is sad until we meet again
We kiss and then the song is sweet again
But whether she is far away or very near
She makes music only I can hear
Every time she says "Goodbye"
A million violins start crying
The song is sad until we meet again
We kiss and then the song is sweet again
But whether she is far away or very near
She makes music only I can hear

Ain't No Woman (Like The One I Got)
Ain't No Woman (Like The One I Got)
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert - Brian Potter
Performer(s): The Four Tops
and multiple other artists
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Every day the sun comes up around her
She can make the birds sing harmony
Every drop of rain is glad it found her
Heaven must have made her just for me
When she smiles so warm and tender
A sight for sore eyes to see
Oooh, (ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Oh, no, they don't come better
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
(So together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter
(Ain't no woman like the one I love)
She can fill me up when it's down I'm goin' (I'm goin')
Put a little music in my day
Wouldn't be surprised if my love keeps growin' (it keeps growin')
Bigger every minute that she stays away
I would kiss the ground she walks on
'Cause it's my word, my word she'll obey, now
Woo-ooh. (Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She's a real good friend right to the end
(So together like a hand in glove)
A lonely man when she's gone
(People, ain't no woman like the one I love)
Oooh. What a good, good thing I've got
She means to me a lot
(Ain't no woman like the I've got)
No, no, they don't come better
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings
(So together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter
(Ain't no woman like the one I love, people)
(Ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Well, I kiss the ground she walks on
(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
I'm a lonely man when my baby's gone

When She Loved Me
When She Loved Me
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Sarah McLachlan;
and various other artists
When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy so was I
When she loved me
Through the summer and the fall
We had each other that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me
So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say
I will always love you
Lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me
And held me
Just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me
When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
When she loved me

Row Row Row

And there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row

And I told you this before
If you want to keep your mama
Ya gotta love me more and more
'Cause there ain't no wheels on this ship
And we can't row row row
We can't row row row
We can't row

When Shadows Fall I Hear You Calling California
When Shadows Fall I Hear You Calling California
Performer(s): Tot Seymour; Milo Rega
You'll find every native son, when his roaming days are done
has a feeling so forlorn for the place where he was born
I'm no different from the rest, I've that feeling in my breast
I've a longing for the Golden West
I can see each sun kissed hill, it gives me a wholesome thrill
and I see the orange tree, that once sheltered you and me
I hope I'll be back there soon, mid the roses' sweet perfume
where each day is like a day in June
When shadows fall I hear you calling California
your sheltering palms stretch out their arms
Each gentle breeze brings memories of California
in every dream I just seem to be going back to the one I love
I know somebody who is waiting to caress me
two eyes of blue, said they'd be true
I'm going there where the palm trees are swaying
that's where I'm longing to be
two loving arms beneath the palms are calling me

Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady
Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady
((French Version: Je Veux T'aimer Comme Une Femme (by Mireille Mathieu) - 1975))
Composer(s): Harriet Schock
First release by: Harriet Schock - 1974
Covered by multiple other artists
I guess it was yourself you were involved with
I would have sworn it was me
I might have found out sooner if
You'd only let me close enough to see
That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way to treat your baby
Your woman your friend
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way
But maybe it's a way for us to end
I was only bein' a picture
With all the colors I know
While you were busy looking into
Wide blue mirrors and lovin' the show
That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way to treat your baby
Your woman your friend
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way
But maybe it's a way for us to end
There's a funny kind of consolation
Keepin' me sane
And I'd really like to share it
Crawl on deep in my brain
You see the time you never felt me
Lovin' you or needin' you
So leavin' you now
You still won't know how to feel the pain
I was lookin' out for my happiness
While you were looking within
And before you know your own reflection
Always starts to tire you, it's happened again
That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way to treat your baby
Your woman your friend
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way
But maybe it's a way for us to end
That ain't no way to treat a lady
No way to treat your baby
Your woman your friend
That ain't no way to treat a lady, no way
But maybe it's a way for us to end ...

When Seasons Change
When Seasons Change
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield
Performer(s): Curtis Mayfield
When seasons change – and we've again surpassed September
A lot of scars – that kind of scare you to remember
Scufflin' times – in seeing people trying to put you down
For goodness sakes
People trying to take what you know you've found
Stranded in someone else's neighborhood
Listening to the undertone
Lord! Sure makes it a blessing to know you got your own
Time makes you suffer – when seasons change
Can't call no names – when you got your own self to blame
Praying to Jesus – make me a little stronger
So I might live the life – a little bit longer
So many changes – going in and out of my life
How can anyone survive
When everybody's been made a sacrifice
Look all around – and see yourself so weak and so vulnerable
So you're trying to be strong – but your money ain't too long
And it's so terrible
Don't you know – if you want a good life
Best look into yourself
'Cause the world is cold – and everybody's bold
And there's no one else
Time makes you suffer – when seasons change
Can't call no names
When you got your own self to blame
Strain won't give me no – satisfaction
Taxes are taking up – a new collection
So many changes – going in and out of my life
How can anyone survive
When everybody's been made a sacrifice
Whon seasons change – and we've again surpassed September
A lot of scars – that kind of scare you to remember
Scuf flin' times – in seeing people trying to put you down
For goodness sakes
People trying to take what you know you've found

((Adapted from: Ain't No Way To Treat A Lady (by Harriet Schock) - 1974))
Composer(s): Harriet Schock - Eddy Marnay
Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu - 1975
Je n'ai jamais compris les gens qui s'aiment et qui se cachent le cœur
Moi je voudrais crier ton nom crier ma joie de vivre au monde entier
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau
Je voudrais s'écrire un poème et le jeter sur la mer
Pour qu'il voyage cent milles ans avec tous les bateaux et tous les oiseaux
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau
Je voudrais écrire notre histoire sur chaque fleur
La poser sur des guitares qui font chanter les cœurs
Je ne veux pas garder pour moi ce grand amour qui chaque jour
Se réveille encore plus grand et plus fort qu'un grand amour
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme un soleil d'été penché sur l'eau
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer comme Juliette aimait Roméo
Je veux t'aimer comme une femme t'aimer…

When Push Comes To Shove
When Push Comes To Shove
Composer(s): Robert Hunter; Jerry Garcia
Performer(s): Grateful Dead
Shaking in the forest, what have you to fear
Here there may be tigers to punch you in the ear
Gloves of stainless steel, bats carved out of brick
Will knock you down and push you up and give your ass a kick
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love
Shaking in the desert, wherefore do you cry
Here there may be rattle snakes to punch you in the eye
Shotguns full of silver, bullets made of glass
String barbed wire at your feet and do not let you pass
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love
Chorus
When push comes to shove
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love
When push comes to shove
Shaking in the bedroom, covers on your head
Cringing like a baby at the hand beneath the bed
Phantom in the closet, scratching at the door
The latest mystery killer that you saw on channel four
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love
Shaking in the garden, the fear within you grows
Here there may be roses to punch you in the nose
Twist their arms around you, slap you till you cry
Wrap you in their sweet perfume and love you till I die
When push comes to shove
You're afraid of love
(chorus)

When October Goes
When October Goes
Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Diane Schuur;
and various other artists
And when October goes, the snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs, I watch the planes go by
The children running home beneath a twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them, when I was one of them
And when October goes, the same old dream appears
And you are in my arms to share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go
And when October goes, the same old dream appears
And you are in my arms to share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go
I should be over it now, I know
It doesn't matter much how old I grow
I hate to see October go

When Numbers Get Serious
When Numbers Get Serious
Composer(s): Paul Simon
Performer(s): Paul Simon
I have a number in my head
Though I don't know why it's there
When numbers get serious
You see their shape everywhere
Dividing and multiplying
Exchanging with ease
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers are easy to please
Take my address
Take my phone
Call me if you can
Here's my address
Here's my phone
Please don't give it to some madman
Hey hey, whoa whoa
Complicated life
Numbers swirling thick and curious
You can cut them with a knife
You can cut them with a knife
Two times two is twenty-two
Four times four is forty-four
When numbers get serious
They leave a mark on your door
Urgent. Urgent.
A telephone is ringing in the hallways
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers will speak to us always
That is why a man with numbers
Can put your mind at ease
We've got numbers by the trillions
Here and overseas
Hey hey, whoa whoa
Look at the stink about Japan
All those numbers waiting patiently
Don't you understand?
Don't you understand?
So wrap me
Wrap me
Wrap me do
In the shelter of your arms
I am ever your volunteer
I won't do you any harm
I will love innumerably
You can count on my word
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers
Will always be heard
When times are mysterious
Serious numbers will always be heard
And after all is said and done
And the numbers all come home
The four rolls into three
The three turns into two
And the two becomes a
One

The best years of my life
You just wasted away
You caused so many tears
Now the time has come when you must pay
Ain't no more for you say
Ain't no more for you to say
Just take your love and go away
And it's time [we can] leave
Don't return
Baby it ain't no use
if you leave, don't return
'Cause it just ain't no use

She gets her way it's true
but I know I won't be blue
