Alone Too Long


Alone Too Long
Composer(s): James Weil - Kurt Weill
Performer(s): The Partridge Family; Shirley Jones



Funny how you can go on livin'
And lose the simple knack of givin'
It slips away before you know it's gone
Ya build up walls and before ya know it
Someone moves you and you want to show it
But you just can't find a way of lettin' on

I've been alone to long
Baby now don't you see
I've been alone too long
That's all that's wrong with me
I want to build you a dream
Paint you a sunrise
Write you a beautiful song
But I don't know how
I've been alone to long

Funny how you can cut off feelin'
And tell yourself that your wounds are healing
When all you've done is turn the pain inside
And when your sure that no one can get to ya
Someone smiles and it goes right through ya
And wakes up somethin' that you thought had died

(Chorus)

I've been alone to long
I've been alone to long
I've been alone to long
I've been alone to long

With My Head In The Clouds


With My Head In The Clouds
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Johnny Desmond;
Irving Berlin; Glenn Miller



What does a flyer think of when he's up there in the sky?
Ask any Army pilot and he'll answer with a sigh

While I'm there
In the air
With my head in the clouds
I think of someone I love

And I know
Down below
She is thinking of me
When I am up there above

When the night is clear
And the bombardier
Drops a bomb that's wired for sound

How I yearn
To return
With my head in the clouds
To the one I love on the ground

Alone Together (Richie Havens)


Alone Together
Composer(s): Richie Havens
Performer(s): Richie Havens



Everyday that I awake
I must be mindful
That everyday is all I have to call my own
It’s everyday the sun will rise
Even though the dark clouds seem so low
It will only tell the truth
We are alone

Everyday that I believe
I must be mindful
That every belief I have is all I own
Ten thousand roads will all return here
Only reaping what they’ve sown
And it will only tell the truth
We are alone

We are all alone
Each one his own
We are all alone…together

We are not without
What it’s all about
We are all alone
With each other

Everyday that I awake
I must be mindful
That everyday is all we have for us to change
To see everything as it really is
Everything we have, we have to give
And it will only tell the truth
We are alone

We are all alone
Each one his own
We are all alone…together
We are not without
What it’s all about
We are all alone
We are all alone
We are all alone
With each other

With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming


With My Eyes Wide Open I'm Dreaming
Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Harry Revel
Performer(s): Patti Page;
and various other artists



With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart
With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
You're with me now, sharing a vow, never to part

I'm so afraid to close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
That this lovely thrill
Is just a silly illusion

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Darling, do I deserve such a break
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine

I'm so afraid to close my eyes
Afraid that I'll find
That this lovely thrill
Is just a silly illusion

With my eyes wide open, I'm dreaming
Darling, do I deserve such a break
Pinch me to prove I'm awake
I can't believe that you're really mine

Alone Together (Clifton Webb)


Alone Together
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz - Howard Dietz
First performance: Clifton Webb - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists



Alone together, beyond the croud
Above the world, we're not to proud
To cling together We're strong
As long as we're together

Alone together, the blinding rain
The starless night, were not in vain
For we're together, and what is there
To fear together

Our love is as deep as the sea
Our love is as great as a love can be
And we can weather the great unknown
If we're alone together

With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm


With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm
Composer(s): Bert Lee; R.P. Weston; Harris Weston
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway; The Kingston Trio



In the Tower of London large as life
The Ghost of Anne Boleyn walks they declare
For Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife
Until he made the headsman bob her hair!
Ah, yes, he did her wrong, long years ago
And, she comes up at night to tell him soooo!

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour

She comes to haunt King Henry
She means to give him 'what for'
Gadzook! She's going to tell him off
For having split her gore
And, just in case the headsman
Wants to give her an encore
She has her head tucked underneath her arm

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower
With her had tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour

Along the draughty corridors
For miles and miles she goes
She often catches cold, poor thing
It's cold there when it blows
And it's awfully awkward for the Queen
To have to blow her nose
With her head tucked underneath her arm

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour!

Sometimes gay King Henry gives a spread
For all his pals and gals and ghostly crew
The headsman carves the joint and cuts the bread
Then in comes Anne Boleyn to 'queer the do!'
She holds her head up with a wild war whoop!
And Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!"

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour

The sentries think that it's a football
That she carries in
And when they've had a few they shout
'Is Ars'nal going to win?'
They think it's Alec James
Instead of poor old Ann Boleyn
With her head tucked underneath her arm

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour

One night she caught King Henry
He was in the canteen bar
Said he, "Are you Jane Seymore
Anne Boleyn or Catherine Parr?"
"How the sweet san fairy ann
Do I know who you are?"
With your head tucked underneath your arm!

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the Bloody Tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour

Alone In The Night


Alone In The Night
Composer(s): Larry Lee - Richie Zito - Tom Whitlock - Steve Bates
Performer(s): Roger Daltrey



When the lights are down and there's no one there
You can hear the sound of the rock'in chair
Rocking in the dark, feel it in the air
Searching for the spark of love affair
The world keeps on turning, every night and every day
The fire keeps on burning calling to say

I'm alone in the night, the silence in the shadows, alone in the night
A heart where no one goes, alone in the night
A sprint that the wind blows, alone in the night
The face sitting in the window I'm alone in the night

When the lights go down, on another day
Darkness all around as the angels play
Watch the falling stars, as they cross the sky
They're so near, so far, they're the tears I cry
I hear the voices calling of lovers in the night
I feel the rain is falling blinded by light

I'm alone in the night, the silence in the shadows, alone in the night
A heart where no one goes, alone in the night
A sprint that the wind blows, alone in the night
The face sitting in the window I'm alone in the night

With God On Our Side


With God On Our Side
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Manfred Mann;
and various other artists



My name it is nothing, my age it means less
The country I come from is a part of the Free West
I was taught and brought up there its laws to abide
And that the land that I live in has God on its side

Oh the history books tell it, they tell it so well
The cavalries charged, the Indians fell
The cavalries charged, the Indians died
For the country was young with God on its side

Oh the first World War, it came and it went
The reason for fighting I never could get
But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride
For you don’t count the dead when God’s on your side

And then the second World War, it came to an end
We forgave the Germans and now we are friends
Though they murdered six million, in the ovens they fried
The Germans now, too, have God on their side

But now we have weapons of chemical dust
And if fire them we’re forced to, why then fire them we must
One push of the button and a shot the worldwide
And you never ask questions when God’s on your side

‘tho many a long hour I’ve thought on this
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
But I can’t think for you, you will have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side

And now as I leave you, I’m weary as hell
The confusion I’m feelin’, there ain’t no tongue can tell
The words fill my head and drop to the floor
That if God’s on our side, he’ll stop the next war

Alone In Brewster Bay


Alone In Brewster Bay
Composer(s): Minnie Riperton - Richard Rudolph
Performer(s): Minnie Riperton



Watch the fire die
See the snowflakes fly
Hear the geese out honking' on the bay
Feel the fire's flame
Do they sigh your name
Think of you, my love, so far away

Once I never moved without you
I held on to you all the time
But now that I'm three days without you
I feel a lot like cryin'
I feel like cryin'
I feel like cryin
'I feel like cryin'

Then I close my eyes
And I search the skies
For a sign of you thinking of me
Then I feel you here
You are oh so near
In my mind I find you next to me

Cause once I never moved without you
I held on to you all the time
But now that I'm three days without you
I feel a lot like cryin'
I feel like cryin'
I feel like cryin
'I feel like cryin'

Watch the fire die
See the snowflakes fly
Hear the geese out honking' on the bay
Thinking of you, my love, alone in Brewster bay

With Each Beat Of My Heart


With Each Beat Of My Heart
Composer(s): Stevie Wonder
Performer(s): Stevie Wonder; Susie Hansen



Honey, sweet
I've got something to say to you in privacy
Something I'd like for you to hear
And only your ears alone

Secretly, I've been admiring you intensely
So much so I'd like to settle down with you
And make a home

You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea

Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard you speak
I didn't know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you in each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

Honey, sweet
I soared into a heaven's galaxy
So hypnotized was I
From seeing all the magic in your eyes

So I bring
To you what's been a lifetime fantasy
Of being with the only one who can
Create my paradise

You are my first breath
My first smile
And my morning cup of tea

Yours is the love
That I pray for
Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face
I knew no other could erase
My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard you speak
I didn't know that sound was sweet
Me hearing you in each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends
And the serious begins
Like the love that I felt from the start
With each beat of my heart

Alone At Last (Neil Sedaka)


Alone At Last
Composer(s): Phil Cody - Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Neil Sedaka
and multiple other artists



Alone at last in a hide away
Far away from all the worries in the world
We share each other while the sun's goin' down
Not another soul around
Alone at last you and I

Sunshine plenty of space and time
Heady wine for thirsty souls like yours and mine
We come together like the sea and the sand
In a very private wonderland
Alone at last you and I

Wave goodbye to the crowded nights
City lights we left behind
We love the dreams we shared
And dared to live the dream

The sea in her serenity
Silently cast a spell on you and me
We share each other while the sun's goin' down
Not another soul around
Alone at last
Alone at last you and I

We share each other while the sun's goin' down
Not another soul around
Alone at last
Alone at last you and I

Alone At A Table For Two


Alone At A Table For Two
Composer(s): Billy Hill - Ted Fiorito - Daniel Richman
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians



Usual time, the usual place, the usual orchids and wine

Alone at a table for two
Alone in our own rendezvous
The music is playing
Your favourite request
But I hear a blue note
The band must have guessed
Why I'm alone at a table for two
Pretending I am waiting for you
And even the flowers at your place have withered
They know that we're through
I'm alone at a table for two

With A Song In My Heart


With A Song In My Heart
Composer(s): Richard Rogers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Doris Day & Harry James; and various other artists



With a song in my heart, I behold your adorable face
Just a song at the start but it soon is a hymn to your grace
When the music swells, I'm touching your hand
It tells me you're standing near, and

At the sound of your voice, heaven opens its portals to me
Can I help but rejoice that a song such as ours came to be
But I always knew I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you

But I always knew I would live life through
With a song in my heart for you

Alone Again Tonight


Alone Again Tonight
Performer(s): Saga



I've been waiting here so long
For someone I can talk to
Coz I know where we went wrong
But it's really not the time or place
To talk about the problems
Now I've got you face to face
I'll tell you what I'm thinking of
Imagine how my heart feels
Now I know I'm still in love
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
Please don't look away
I've tried to say I'm sorry
For the things I never said
We can talk about who's to blame
But it really doesn't matter
I'm so tired of playing games
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight
Oh please don't cry
But I need to tell you one more time
I didn't mean to hurt you
I never meant to complicate your life
If I can hold you
'Cause I don't wanna be alone again tonight

With A Smile And A Song
Composer(s): Frank Churchill; Larry Morey
Performer(s): Adriana Caselotti;
and various other artists



With a smile and a song
Life is just a bright sunny day
Your cares fade away
And your heart is young
With a smile and a song
All the world seems to waken anew
Rejoicing with you
As the song is sung
There's no use in grumbling
When the raindrops come tumbling
Remember, you're the one
Who can fill the world with sunshine
When you smile and you sing
Everything is in tune and it's spring
And life flows along
With a smile and a song

Alone (Tommy Dorsey)


Alone
Composer(s): Nacio Herb Brown - Arthur Freed
Performer(s): Tommy Dorsey



Alone
Alone with a sky of romance above
Alone
Alone on a night that was meant for love

There must be someone waiting
Who feels the way I do
Whoever you are, are you, are you...

Alone
Alone on this night that we two could share
Alone
Alone with your kiss that could make me care

And when you come I'll promise to be your very own

Alone
Alone with a heart meant for you
Alone

Alone (Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons)


Alone
Composer(s): Morty Craft - S. Craft
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons



Alone, why must I be alone
I've spent so many hours with you
How can I be alone

Alone, why must I dream alone
Our dreams where made for us to share
How can I dream alone

There's such a thing as forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
Can't you forgive and forget

Apart, why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone

There's such a thing as forgiving
So why can't you forgive
There's such a thing as forgetting
Can't you forgive and forget

Apart, why must we be apart
Let's put our hearts together
And never be alone
