Where Is My Wandering Girl Tonight?
Where Is My Wandering Girl Tonight?
Composer(s): Dave Manley
The scene is a lonely cottage that once was bright and gay
Where a mother dear is waiting for the girl that went away
Each minute seemed an hour, each hour seems a year
each moment brings a thought of her
each thought just brings a tear
Tears mingle with her sighs
Where is my girl she cries
Just think of you darling mother
Just think of her tonight
Return if you are wandering
Her love is your guiding light
No matter what the past dear
No matter what the shame
What even if the world does jeer
She loves you just the same
Leave all the glare and light
She prays for you tonight
Where is my wandering girl tonight
Oh where oh where can she be
She left the old home for the bright city lights
Please send her back to me
Tell her I am growing old
And I soon will pass away
For there's no place like home
Oh where is my girlie my child tonight

Algo Más Que Un Amigo
Algo Más Que Un Amigo
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael
Algo más que un amigo
Era yo para ti
Era yo para ti
Algo más que un amigo
Algo más que un amigo
Tú lo sabes muy bien
No lo quieras fingir
No comprendo por qué
Los amigos no lloran
Cuando un día el destino
Separa sus vidas
Y yo te vi llorar
Cuando nos despedimos
Algo más que una simple amistad
Porque tú me besabas
Con algo que llaman amor de verdad
Algo más que una simple amistad
Porque a veces hablando
Veía en tus ojos la felicidad
Algo más, mucho más
Algo más que un amigo
Los amigos no saben
Los grandes secretos
Que yo oí de tu voz
Algo más que un amigo
Los amigos no pasan
Las noches que juntos
Pasamos tú y yo
Los amigos no lloran
Cuando un día el destino
Separa sus vidas
Y yo te vi llorar
Cuando nos despedimos

Where Is My Castle
Where Is My Castle
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier
Performer(s): Connie Smith;
Dallas Frazier; Kitty Wells
More than once I've cried because impatience let me down
I could see the gold before the gold was found
And everytime I've trusted love to lead me by the hand
It circled back and left me where I stand
Where is my castle
where is my destiny
how much longer will I have to dream
Where is my sunshine
where is my valley
where is the love that's meant for me
The next time I cross over that old bridge I'm gonna stay
I don't care if the river washes it away
'Cause I'm not gonna take one step until the day I find
A man with a faithful heart and a made up mind
Where is my castle...

Alfie
Alfie
((Swedish Version: Alfie (by Sylvia Vrethammar) - 1969))
Composer(s): Burt Baccharach - Hal David
First release by: Cilla Black - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists
What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give or are we meant to be kind?
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
then I guess it's wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
what will you lend on an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
and you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie

Performer(s): The Lettermen;
and various other artists
(Mrs. Soweberry):
Right then, Oliver Twist
your bed's underneath the counter
You don't mind sleeping
among coffins I suppose?
It don't much matter whether you do
or you don't cause you can't sleep
nowhere else!
(Oliver):
Where is love?
Does it fall from skies above?
Is it underneat the willow tree
That I've been dream of?
Where is she?
Who I close my eyes to see?
Will I ever know the sweet "hello"
That's only meant for me?
Who can say where she may hide?
Must I travel far and wide?
'Til I am bedside the someone who
I can mean somethin to ...
Where...?
Where is love?
Who can say where...she may hide?
Must I travel...far and wide?
'Til I am beside...the someone who
I can mean...something to...
Where?

Don't Talk To Me
Don't Talk To Me
Composer(s): Milt Gabler - Bert Kaempfert - Herbert Rehbein
Performer(s): Vikki Carr; Bert Kaempfert; Wayne Newton
Don't talk to me of loves you have known
Don't talk to me of years that have flown
Each whispered word reminds me
Tomorrow night will find me
With no-one to sweet-talk me!
Don't talk to me of heaven above
Don't talk to me unless it's of love!
My heart won't need a reason
And words are out of season
So kiss me more and don't talk to me!
My heart won't need a reason
And words are out of season
So kiss me more
Oh kiss me more
So kiss me more and don't talk to me!
Come on and kiss me more!
Don't talk to me!
Just kiss me more
Don't talk to me!

Where In The World (Anne Shelton)
Where In The World
Composer(s): Ray Austin; Paul Herrick; Freddy Martin
Performer(s): Anne Shelton
Do you mind if I ask you some questions
Questions that explain this lovely glow
Where in the world can a sunbeam at noon
Take the place of the moon
And where in the world can the stars of the skies
Shine in two lovely eyes
And where did I first find the answer to my prayer
May I remind you that you were there
Oh where in the world can a touch of the lips
Bring a total eclipse of cares in the world
And the future for two is the one thing in view
And where can I be sure that all my dreams come true
Oh where in the world, only with you

Don't Take Away Your Love
Don't Take Away Your Love
Performer(s): Johnny Nash
Take away the autumn leaves
Take away the summer breeze
But don't take away, don't take away your love
Take away the moonlit skies
Take the sunshine from my eyes
But don't take away, don't take away your love
Let me touch your lips and know the thrill of all your charms
Then I'll hold the world, the very world within my arms
Take away the kiss of spring
Take away my everything
But don't take away, don't take away your love
No, no, no, don't take away, don't take away your love
I'm begging you, please, don't take away your love
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, darling don't take away your love
Aw, just let me touch your lips and know the thrill of all your charms
Then I'll hold the world, the very world within my arms
Take away the kiss of spring
Take away my everything
But don't take away, don't take away your love
Don't take away, don't take away your love
No, no, no, no, no, no, don't take away your love

Where In The World (Larry Clinton)
Where In The World
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel
Performer(s): Larry Clinton
Where in the world can my lover be
Where in this wonderful world is there someone for me
He may be standing in a corner on a lonely street
But tell me how will we happen to meet
Where in the world is that moment divine
Where are those arms
Where are those lips to whisper "will you be mine"
Where are you if you're waiting, patiently waiting for me
Oh how in the world will I know
Where in the world you may be

Alexis
Alexis
Composer(s): Tommy Bolin - Jeff Cook
Performer(s): Tommy Bolin; The James Gang
Alexis thank you for the pleasant southern days
Spent on the levee throwing pennies in the bay
Talking of the rich folks on the big boats that pass that way
You were just a young girl and I just could not stay
Alexis I can't remember how we met back then
Was on my way to Atlanta and on that road again
Not really poor I had money just not to spend
You were just a young girl and I was in need of a friend
Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south
Maybe down to New Orleans and you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl and I was just a hobo
I had my doubts
Alexis I did not want to leave you there
Sometimes this life we live is so unfair
I wanted to take you with me but I did not dare
You were just a young girl and I couldn't pay your fare
Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south
Maybe down to New Orleans and you wanted me to help you out
But you were just a young girl and I was just a hobo
I had my doubts
Alexis you always used to talk about leaving your hometown heading on south

Where In The World (Dick Haymes)
Where In The World
Composer(s): Buddy Kaye; Carl Lampl
Performer(s): Dick Haymes
Where in the world will I find you
Where in the world, I wish I knew
Though I'm not near you, I hear you so well
Though I can't see you, to me
You are magic things that weave a spell
Did you just go by and say a word
Was it a sigh or breeze I heard
I'd go from here to right clear to a star
Anywhere in the world
To be where you are
Did you just go by and say a word
Was it a sigh or breeze I heard
I'd go from here to right clear to a star
Anywhere in the world
To be where you are

Barges
Barges
Composer(s): Ralph McTell
Performer(s): Ralph McTell
Me and my brother returned to the water
I saw a pike that was two feet long
Two small magicians, each with a jam jar
Cast spells on the water with hazel twig wands
Country boys catch tadpoles, dive into water
Made shy by their laughter, we wandered down stream
And summer rolled o'er us with no complications
'Cept thinking of Mama sometimes in dreams
Stand by the drawbridge, waiting for barges
Waiting around for smiles from the man
Lifting the bridge whilst watching the horses
Dragging the slow boats up the canal
I do remember the times but no number
After the day, but before evening comes
Waiting for castles and kettles with roses
Painted on barges that sailed into the sun
Oh, see the river run, that was by man begun
Open the locks, let the boats sail on,
Taking their castles and kettles with roses
With summers of childhood leaving smiles on the man

Where I Ought To Be
Where I Ought To Be
Composer(s): Harlan Howard
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
I got your wedding invitation
I'm surprised you thought of me
But I don't believe your wedding
Is just where I ought to be
For you put your arms around her
Kissed her lips so tenderly
As she's standing there beside you
That's just where I ought to be
Like a fool I introduced you
I said, "Baby, meet my friend"
Never thought that I could lose you
But I lost you there and then
I took the diamond ring you gave me
Threw it way out in the sea
And I had an awful feeling
That's just where I ought to be
Da da da de de dee da...
Like a fool I introduced you
I said, "Baby, meet my friend"
Never thought that I could lose you
But I lost you there and then
I took the diamond ring you gave me
Threw it way out in the sea
And I had an awful feeling
That's just where I ought to be

Where I Am Going
Where I Am Going
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell
Feel like I'm coming out of the storm
Watching dark clouds drift away
Saying goodbye to all the pain I used to know
It's time to let it go
Just can't seem to make myself conform
To what the world wants me to be
But the difference doesn't hurt me anymore
I know they'll welcome me
Where I am going there will be no compromise
No tears will come to cloud my eyes
Where I am going
And all the precious world I've had to sacrifice
Will be given to me twice
Because He paid the price
And it's worth it all just knowing
Where I am going
Do you want to go riding with me
To a place that lasts forevermore
Please don't think that you are one among the few
I'm different just like you
Where I am going there will be no alibis
No might-have-beens or sacrifice
Where I am going
And all the questions still unanswered in my mind
Lord, I'll leave 'em all behind
I'll only find the answers
I'll only keep on going (Keep on going)
Where I'm going
(Where I am going) There will be no compromise
No tears will come to cloud my eyes
Where I am going
And all the precious world I've had to sacrifice
Will be given to me twice
Because He paid the price
And it's worth it all just knowing
Where I am going
(Where I am going there will be no alibis)
Where I am going
(Where I am going)
(And all the precious .......)

Voiles sur les filles
Barques sur le Nil
Je suis dans ta vie
Je suis dans tes bras
Alexandra, Alexandrie
Alexandrie où l'amour danse avec la nuit
J'ai plus d'appétit qu'un barracuda
Barracuda
Je boirai tout le Nil si tu n'me regardes pas
Je boirai tout le Nil si tu n'me retiens pas
Alexandrie, Alexandra
Alexandrie où l'amour danse au fond des bras
Ce soir j'ai de la fièvre et toi tu meurs de froid
Les sirènes du port d'Alexandrie
Chantent encore la même mélodie
La lumière du phare d'Alexandrie
Fait naufrager les papillons de ma jeunesse
Voiles sur les filles
Et barques sur le Nil
Je suis dans ta vie
Je suis dans tes draps
Alexandra, Alexandrie
Alexandrie où tout commence et tout finit
J'ai plus d'appétit qu'un barracuda

Where Have We Met Before?
Where Have We Met Before?
Composer(s): E.Y. Harburg; Vernon Duke
Performer(s): Victor Young
Where have we met before
Do you remember me
My heart keeps saying
"You're someone I know"
Where have we met before
Is this the mystery
That started
Ages and ages ago
Wasn't knighthood in flower
When I saw you somewhere
In a Babylon Tower
Or, perhaps, Berkeley Square
Where have we met before
Fate told me instantly
That you'd come back once more
Destined for me
