You're In My Heart


You're In My Heart
Composer(s): Rod Stewart
Performer(s): Rod Stewart;
and various other artists



I didn't know what day it was when you walked into the room
I said 'hello' unnoticed; you said goodbye too soon
Breezin' thr' the clientele, spinnin yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here, that the attraction was purely physical
I took all those habits of yours, which in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense for Beardsley prints, I put down to experience
The redheaded lasy with a dutch accent who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed, but my heart poured out for you

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for your is immeasurable, my respect for you: immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness, you're beauty and elegance
You're rhapsody, a comedy, you're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written, but honey what do you see in me?

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're an essay in glamour
Please pardon the grammar
but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic united, but baby I've decided you're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many a day, many times I thought to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around
'Cause you're the warmest thing I ever found

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

A Garden In The Rain


A Garden In The Rain
Composer(s): Carroll Gibbons - James Dyrenforth
Performer(s): Gene Austin
and multiple other artists



'Twas just a garden in the rain
Close to a little leafy lane
A touch of colour 'neath skies of grey

Bhe raindrops kissed the flower beds
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed "thank you" they seemed to say

Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
Maybe it was just that I was there with you

'Twas just a garden in the rain
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way

Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
But, maybe it was just that you were there dear,
You were so lovely

'Twas just a garden in the rain
But then the sun came out again
And sent us happily on our way

Just a garden in the rain

(You're) Having My Baby


(You're) Having My Baby
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka; Ray Conniff



Having my baby
what a lovely way of saying how much you love me
Having my baby
what a lovely way of saying what you're thinking of me
I can see it
Your face is glowing
I can see it in your eyes
I'm happy in knowing...

That your having my baby
you're the woman I love and I love what it's doing to you
Having my baby
you're a woman in love and I love what's going through you
The need inside you
I see it showing
Oh, the seed inside you baby do you feel it growing
Are you happy in knowing...

That you're having my baby
I'm a woman in love and I love what it's doing to me
Having my baby
I'm a woman in love and I love what's going through me
Didn't have to keep it
Wouldn't put you through it
You could have swept it from your life but you wouldn't do it
No, you wouldn't do it...

And you're having my baby
I'm a woman in love and I love what it's doing to me
Having my baby
I'm a woman in love and I love what's going through me

A Galinha


A Galinha
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Todo ovo
Que eu choco
Me toco
De novo
Todo ovo
É a cara
É a clara
Do vovô

Mas fiquei
Bloqueada
E agora
De noite
Só sonho
Gemada

A escassa produção
Alarma o patrão
As galinhas sérias
Jamais tiram férias
``Estás velha, te perdôo
Tu ficas na granja
Em forma de canja''

Ah!!! é esse o meu troco
Por anos de choco???
Dei-lhe bicada
E fugi, chocada

Quero cantar
Na ronda
Na crista
Da onda

Pois um bico a mais
Só faz mais feliz
A grande gaiola
Do meu país

You're Gonna Miss Me


You're Gonna Miss Me
Composer(s): Eddie Curtis
Performer(s): Connie Francis



One kiss, one little sigh
That's all you gave me when you said goodbye
But someday baby, someday darlin'
You're gonna miss me

Uum-uum-uum

Long gone is your caress
And with it, all my happiness
But someday baby, someday darlin'
You're gonna miss me

Oh-oh-oh, yes

One of these nights you'll wake up cryin'
But I won't be there to comfort you
You'll turn on the lights, but you'll go on cryin'
'Cause only my true love can chase away your blues

Oh-oh, yes, you're gonna learn
I'm not the only one whose heart will burn
'Cause someday baby, someday darlin'
You're gonna miss me
Miss me, miss me, miss me
Someday baby, someday darlin'
You're gonna miss me
Oh-oh-oh-h, yes

A Gal In Calico


A Gal In Calico
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Arthur Schwartz
First performance by: Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson, Sally Sweetland - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists



I met a gal in Calico down in Santa Fe
Used to be her Sunday beau
'Til I rode away
Do I want her
Do I want her love
Yes-sir-ree
Will I win her
Will I win her love
Wait and see

Workin' with the rodeo
Go from town to town
See most every kind of gal
Every kind they got
But who makes my heart sing
Yip-ee-aye, Yip-ee-o
My little gal in Calico

(You can have your gal
Dressed in silk and satin
Tose who dress to shape
And crepe to shiek
Take your pretty gal
To go around Manhattan
Thinking they look well in velveteen
When they're at the table
We're not able
To imagine how they look)

I'm just a country boy
And my country boy
Knows a fancy cover
Doesn't make a fancy book

(No, the fancy cover
Doesn't make the book)

I'll take my gal in Calico
(Calico)
Down in Santa Fe
(Santa Fe, Santa Fe)
I guess I better let her know
That I feel this way

Is she waitin'
Is she waitin'
She better be
Am I hopin'
To be ropin' her
Yes-sir-ree

Gonna quit the rodeo
(Rodeo)
Gonna settle down
Buy a bow in Calico
For a wedding gown
Then will I fetch her in
Yip-ee-aye,
Yip-ee-o
My little gal in Calico
(Yip-ee-aye, Yip-ee-o)
(Little gal, Calico)

Yip-ee-ti-a
Ti-o, ti-a
Ti-o

You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go


You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



I've seen love go by my door
It's never been this close before
Never been so easy or so slow
Been shooting in the dark too long
When somethin's not right it's wrong
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love
It's always hit me from below.
This time around it's more correct
Right on target, so direct
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Purple clover, Queen Anne lace
Crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don't know
Can't remember what I was thinkin' of
You might be spoilin' me too much, love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy
Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme
Blue river runnin' slow and lazy
I could stay with you forever
And never realize the time

Situations have ended sad
Relationships have all been bad
Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud
But there's no way I can compare
All those scenes to this affair
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm doin'
Stayin' far behind without you
Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin'
Yer gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to

I'll look for you in old Honolulu
San Francisco, Ashtabula
Yer gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I'll see you in the sky above
In the tall grass, in the ones I love
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go

We're a fun bunch of guys
And we come from outer space
On the planet where we're from
War is even fun
We're a fun bunch of guys
We're a fun bunch of guys

We arrived here from the sky
On that cream pie parked outside
We're a fun bunch of guys
We're a fun bunch of guys
We speak English real good
On our TV's in the sky
Your reruns come in fine
We're a fun bunch of guys

You're Gonna Love Yourself (In The Morning)


You're Gonna Love Yourself (In The Morning)
Composer(s): Donnie Fritts
Performer(s): Kris Kristofferson;
and various other artists



Heaven knows that someone has abused you
I guess that's why you think I'm gonna use you
You say you'll hate yourself in the morning
Cause you'll wake up and find me gone

But if you give me just one more chance
I can prove you wrong

Chorus

You're gonna love yourself in the morning
Cause I'm gonna love you all night long
You're gonna love yourself in the mor...ning
And every morning from now on

I know what you're thinking I don't blame you
It's gonna take a whole lot of love just to change you
When you wake up in the morning, you're gonna feel like a different girl
And you will see ... that it can be such a beautiful world ....

(to Chorus)

A Full-Time Job


A Full-Time Job
Composer(s): Jerry Teiffer
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
and multiple other artists



I want a full-time job making love to you
I'll do anything you want me to
But if you have no plan to use a full-time man
A part-time job will do

I want a life time job being close to you
Making all your dreams come true
But if your heart don't throb about a full-time job
A part-time job will do

You wouldn't have to pay me
A nickel or a dime
As long as you would let me
Get in a little bit of overtime

I want a full-time job holding hands with you
I think you'd kinda like it too
Don't want a part-time job I want a full-time job
But a part-time job will do

You wouldn't have to pay me
A nickel or a dime
As long as you would let me
Get in a little bit of overtime

I want a full-time job holding hands with you
I think you'd kinda like it too
Don't want a part-time job I want a full-time job
But a part-time job will do

Performer(s): Frank Sinatra;

Every kiss, every hug seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms
I'm addicted to your charms

You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love was something I could take or leave alone
But now I couldn't do without my supply
I need you for my own

Oh, I can't break away
I must have you everyday
as regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches and I can't break free

You're getting to be a habit with me

You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind


You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind
Composer(s): Beeb Birtles; Graham Goble
Performer(s): Little River Band



Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night
I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right
I count the hours and lie awake until you return
And search my mind with overtime
I've so much to learn

Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"

So alone, the home we had has turned out its lights
I walk the floor and wonder who is sharing your nights
And all around, your sound, your thoughts are ever so near
It's hard to take, this wait
I'm always wanting you here

Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"
Though it may be hard to see
If you change your mind, will you know just where I'll be
If you ever need me

Feeling bluesy, you know you do confuse me all night
I sit at home, alone and wonder if you're all right
And all around, your sound
Your thoughts are ever so near
It's hard to take, this wait
I'm always waiting to here

Well I gave you everything from the depths of my heart
From the day you took my ring we drifted apart
I have one thing more to say
"You're driving me out of my mind"

I'm out of my mind
You're driving me out of my mind
You're driving me out of my mind

Just say that I'm a friend of yours
And maybe they won't get wise
And if they see us together
I'll brush the dream from my eyes

I'll tell my heart it mustn't seem
The song of remember when
Just say that I'm a friend of yours
That you happen to meet again

I'll tell my heart that it mustn't seem
The song of remember when
Just say that I'm a friend of yours
That you happen to meet again

You're Driving Me Crazy


You're Driving Me Crazy
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson
Performer(s): Guy Lombardo;
and various other artists



You left me sad and lonely
Why did you leave me lonely?
For here's a heart that's only
For nobody but you!

I'm burning like a flame, dear
Oh, I'll never be the same, dear
I'll always place the blame, dear
On nobody but you

Yes, you
You're driving me crazy!
What did I do? What did I do?
My tears for you
Make everything hazy
Clouding the skies of blue

How true
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe me, they knew!
But you
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me
When I needed you!

Yes, you!
You're driving me crazy!
What did I do to you?

----------


As recorded by Don Redman:


Spoken:
(Hey, you guys there, let's get together there
Why, you'se enough to drive a man crazy!
What's the matter, can't we get this thing?
What do you say we go there, huh?
Pick out a song!)

You! You're driving me crazy!
What did I do?
Oh, what did I do?
My tears for you make everything hazy,
Clouding the skies of blue!

How true!
Were the friends who were near me to cheer me
Believe me, they knew
But you!
Were the kind who would hurt me, desert me when I needed you!

Yes, you!
You're driving me crazy!
What did I do to you?

(Scat Singing)

A Friend Of Mine


A Friend Of Mine
Composer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan
Performer(s): Gilbert O'Sullivan



Good morning Mary Ann
And how are you upon this bright
And sunny morning
I hear your brother Ted
Got caught for speeding
But was let off with a warning
I hope he's learnt his lesson
And the next time he goes out will drive with care
It doesn't pay to drive too fast
All it does is make your life last shorter

I know you won't believe this
But it happens to be true
I am a loner
My only real companion is dog I'm very fond of
His name's Homer
He follows me wherever I go
And of course I do my best to feed him
It's not the easiest of tasks
When you consider unlike cats
They're broader

Do what you want to within reason
But remember take your time
Nothing stops for those
Who can't afford to wait
The best advice that I can give you
Is to hold on to your head
And as long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
And it's true to say that a good friend is hard to find
But I'd like to think that you are
A friend of mine

Good morning Sarah Jane
And how are you today
Tell me is that your mother
She looks a lot like you
Though come to think of it
You look like one another
It's funny how with likenesses
Most people have a difference of opinion
They said that I was like my dad
Now they say that I'm just like his daughter

Do what you want to within reason
But remember take your time
Nothing stops for those
Who can't afford to wait
The best advice that I can give you
Is to hold on to your head
And as long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine

You'll always be a friend of mine
As long as you are good and kind
You'll always be a friend of mine
A friend in need is a friend indeed
You'll always be a friend of mine

You're Breaking My Heart (Vic Damone)


You're Breaking My Heart
Composer(s): Pat Genaro; Sunny Skylar
Performer(s): Vic Damone;
and various other artists



You're breaking my heart 'cause you're leaving
You've fallen for somebody new
It isn't too easy believing
You'd leave after all we've been through
It's breaking my heart to remember
The dreams we depended upon
You're leaving a slow dying ember
I'll miss you, my love, when you're gone
I wish you joy, though teardrops burn
But if some day you should want to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start, dear
Till then you're breaking my heart

(Instrumental Interlude)

I wish you joy, though teardrops burn
But if some day you should want to return
Please hurry back and we'll make a new start, dear
Till then you're breaking my heart

A Friend I Call Desire


A Friend I Call Desire
Composer(s): Warren Cann / Chris Cross / Billy Currie / Midge Ure)
Performer(s): Ultravox



You live for love, I long for it
You give for love, I take from it
This friend of mine, desire
This lovers crime, desire
Emotion driving all the time
A burning need for things not mine
Desire

You need your love
I walk from it
You fight for love
I run from it
My enemy desire
Caressing me, desire
The torch I carried burnt my hand
I can't control what I can't stand
Desire

You give for love, I lie for it
You give for love, I shy from it
And the pain, and the lust, and the want
And the hurt, and the lies
And the fears, and the urge, and the feel
And the touch, and it's all
A friend I call desire

You give for love, I lie for it
You give for love, I shy from it
And the pain, and the lies
And the touch, and it's all
A friend I call desire
