And So To Bed (Judy Garland)


And So To Bed
Composer(s): Mack Gordon - Harry Revel
Performer(s): Judy Garland



And so to bed
I pray for the good Lord to bless you
So to bed
In dreams I will fondly caress you

For in dreams
You're near and yet so far
I reach for you
But you're not there, my darling

So to bed
I leave you for dawn is ascending
So to bed
Your kiss is the night's happy ending

We'll meet again tomorrow
When the moon is soft and low
So to bed
Goodnight

Danny Boy


Danny Boy
Composer(s): Frederick Edward Weatherly
Originally performed by: Ernestine Schumann-Heink
Covered by various other artists



Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Avè there for me
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

Danny


Danny ((aka Lonely Blue Boy (by Conway Twitty) - 1959)) Composer(s): Ben Weisman - Fred Wise First recording by: Elvis Presley - 1958 Covered by multiple other artists



My name should be trouble
My name should be woe
For trouble and heartache
Is all that I know
But Danny, yes, Danny is my name

My life has been empty
My heart has been torn
It must have been rainy, oh yeah
The night I was born
Oh Danny, oh Danny is my name

I'm so afraid of tomorrow
So tired of today
They say that love is the answer
But love never came my way

I'm writing a letter
To someone I know
So if you should find it
And if you're alone
Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name

Oh Danny, yes, Danny is my name
Oh-oh-oh-oh

And So It Goes


And So It Goes
Composer(s): Graham Nash
Performer(s): Graham Nash



I'm the oil upon the water
I'm the lava in the flow
Resting like a rock beside the seaside
I'm the son and you're the daughter
of the stranger that we know
who gets a little stoned beside the wayside

Well, there's one thing to try
everybody knows
music gets you high
everybody grows
and so it goes

You're the lips that make the laughter
you're the sunshine in the snow
shining out on everything you feel
you're the bird that dropped the berry
on the island far below
finding out that everything is real

Well, there's one thing to try ...

We are loved and we are lonely
we are many, we are few
make it out odf love and build a dream
we are hoboes, we are holy
we are me and we are you
can't it be as easy as it seems?

Well, there's one thing to try ...

Danke Schoen


Danke Schoen
Composer(s): Kurt Schwabach; Milt Gabler; Bert Kaempfert
Performer(s): Wayne Newton



Danke schoen, darling, danke schoen
Thank you for all the joy and pain
Picture shows, second balcony, was the place we'd meet
Second seat, go Dutch treat, you were sweet
Danke schoen, darling, danke schoen
Thank you for funny cards from Spain
I recall Central Park and all
How you tore your dress, what a mess, I confess, that's not all
Danke schoen, darling, danke schoen
Thank you for walks down Lover's Lane
I can see hearts carved on a tree
Letters intertwined for all time yours and mine, that was fine
Danke schoen, darling, danke schoen
Thank you for seeing me again
Though we go on our separate ways
Still the mem'ry stays for always
My heart says, danke schoen, auf wiedersehn, danke schoen

And So Do I


And So Do I
Composer(s): Eddie DeLange - Dave Mann - George David Weiss
Performer(s): Elisabeth Welch
and multiple other artists



You like to tread the hills and heather
And so do I
And so do I
You get a kick from stormy weather
And so do I
And so do I

I’ve seen us looking in windows
Admiring the riches on view
Then stop to look at the hole in our shoe
And laugh as we do
You want to live and love together
And so do I
And so do I

With a world that’s so upset today
We’re just glad that we’re alive
Just to find a little happiness
Is the goal for which we strive

I’ve seen us looking in windows
Admiring the riches on view
Then stop to look at the hole in our shoe
And laugh as we do
You want to live and love together
And so do I
And so do I

Daniela
Composer(s): G. Garvarentz
Performer(s): Les Chaussettes Noires & Eddy Mitchell;
Peppino Di Capri



Oh, Daniela, la vie n'est qu'un jeu pour toi
Oh, Daniela, pourtant, ne croit pas
Que tu peux, oh, Daniela, jouer avec l'amour
Sans risquer de te bruler un jour

Oh, Daniela, tu prends ton air innocent
Oh, Daniela, pour faire un serment
Et tu dis les mots les plus beaux du monde
Sans jamais les penser un instant
Mais si tu n'as pas vingt temps
Tu n'es plus une enfant
Chaque nuit, tu attends en rêvant
Un visage adoré qui viendra t'éveiller
En posant sur tes lèvres un baiser...

Oh, Daniela, la vie n'est qu'un jeu pour toi
Oh, Daniela, pourtant, ne croit pas
Que tu peux, oh, Daniela, jouer avec l'amour
Sans risquer de te bruler un jour

Oh, Daniela, tu découvriras
Oh, Daniela, celui qui saura
Partager tes jours, tes rêves et tes peines
Pour en faire un univers de joie
Ce jour là, ta vie commencera

And She Was


And She Was
Composer(s): David Byrne
First release by: Talking Heads - 1985



And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
Drifting this way and that
Not touching ground at all
Up above the yard

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was

She was glad about it... no doubt about it
She isn't sure where she's gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she's done
And she was

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was

Daniel Boone


Daniel Boone
Composer(s): Vera Matson; Lionel Newman
Performer(s): Fess Parker



Daniel Boone was a man
Yes a big man
With an eye like an eagle
and as tall as a mountain was he

Daniel Boone was a man
Yes a big man.
He was brave he was fearless
and as tough as a mighty oak tree

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan
To the heel of his rawhide shoe
The rippin’est roarin’est fightin’est man
The frontier ever knew

Daniel Boone was a man
Yes a big man
And he fought for America to make all Americans free
What a Boone
What a wonder
What a dream comer truer was he

... And Roses And Roses


... And Roses And Roses
Composer(s): Ray Gilbert - Dorival Caymmi
Performer(s): Andy Williams
and multiple other artists



Every day I sent another present
Just to let her know how very much I care
I wrote a little love note with each present
But it didn't seem to get me anywhere

My poor worried heart was almost certain
That this love affair would never be
Then I sent a dozen yellow roses and
From that moment she belonged to me

Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring
Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love

Roses, roses, roses, I thank you for saying what I couldn't say
Oh, what a wonderful way to tell her "I love you" each day
With roses and roses and roses of love

Roses, roses, roses, I thank all the roses that bloom in the spring
Love is a wonderful thing, the rest of my life I will bring her
Roses and roses and roses of love
(Roses and roses and roses and roses of love)

Roses and roses and roses and roses of love

Daniel


Daniel
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Originally performed by: Elton John
Covered by various other artists



Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much

Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
Oh God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes

And On The 8th Day


And On The 8th Day
Composer(s): Gene Simmons - Vinnie Vincent
Performer(s): Kiss



The sky is fallin' and the wheels of life are grindin' out a brand new beat
The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild, and I can feel the heat
They'll call you names and spit in your face, but legends never die
Just pick up your guitar, on your knees and pray and hold your head up high

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
On the 8th day God created rock and roll

Out of the ashes came the dawn and the shape of things to come
Never surrender, just carry on, straight to kingdom come

You sold your soul and virginity, ya can't rape a heart of gold
Yes you're born to rule, it's destiny, now it can be told

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll

Rock of ages carry the news to the heart of a brave new world
Feel the noise in the name of rock, let the heavens roar

And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll ...

Dani, Se Escapó


Dani, Se Escapó
Composer(s): Miguel Mateos
Performer(s): Zas



Dani se trepó al camión
que gentilmente le hizo un lugar
Pibe, que te pasa?
Le preguntó el chofer
pero su mente no estaba allí

Dani no le contestó
prefirió observar
al intrépido camión
la ruta devorar

La tormenta había empezado
y ya en el ocaso
Dani se puso hablar
- No sé muy bien lo que busco a&ún
pero tengo algo claro
si me muevo lo encontraré

Dani no lo soportó
Dani se escapó
Quién lo ha visto dice que
lleva roto el corazón

Dani no lo soportó
Dani se escapó
Quién lo ha visto dice que
lleva roto el corazón

I Believe In Music


I Believe In Music
Composer(s): Mac Davis
First release by: Mac Davis - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I believe in music, I believe in love
I believe in music, I believe in love

I could just sit around makin' music all day long
Long as I'm making music I know I can't do nobody wrong
And who knows maybe someday I'll come up with a song
That makes people wanna stop their fussin' and fightin'
Just long enough to sing along

I believe in music, I believe in love
I believe in music, I believe in love

Music is love and love is music, if you know what I mean
People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen
So clap your hands, stomp your feet and shake your tambourine
Lift your voices to the sky, God loves you when you sing

I believe in music, I believe in love
I believe in music, I believe in love

Music is the universal language, and love is the key
To brotherhood and peace and understandin' and livin' in harmony
So take your brother by the hand and sing along with me
Find out what it really means to feel young and rich and free

I believe in music, I believe in love
I believe in music, I believe in love
I believe in love

And Love Goes On


And Love Goes On
Composer(s): Larry Dunn - David Foster - Brenda Russell - Maurice White - Verdine White
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire



I would be so willing to give you all I got
You're a special lady, forget me not
I could be so tender, for the likes of you
Let my heart surrender

And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on

Everyday, I'm wishing for that day to come
Feeling superstitious hoping she's the one
One day I'm lonely, next with plenty smiles
Love I find amusing

And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on

Oh, oh, oh, and if we can't work it out
you should know, without a doubt
I will always be the one you can turn to
A friend until the end, no matter where we've been
Sometimes you can't hold on
You got to give it space – yea yea

And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on

Baby we can work it out
Yes I really love you, and without a doubt
I can make you happy,
plant good memory that will last forever

And love goes on
On and on
Your heart beats strong
As love goes on

And It's Better Now


And It's Better Now
Composer(s): Francis Rossi - Rob Young
Performer(s): Status Quo



Riding along on the words of a song in my head
Thinking all day of the thoughts in my mind never said
I have needed a friend, over and over again
Everyone sings of a God they have known
Now I have a God of my own

And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme

Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song

Dreaming away, never wishing to be anyone
Never a question or reason to find right or wrong
When I looked at the end, over and over again
Riding along on the words of a song
Thinking my time had all gone

And it's better now, been a long, long time
And it's better now that the words can rhyme

Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song
Gotta have something to sing about, everyone must have a song
Now I got something to sing about, everyone's singing my song

Dangerous Nan McGrew


Dangerous Nan McGrew
Composer(s): Al Goodhart; Don Hartman
Performer(s): Helen Kane



Hotcha, Chacha, Vo-doe-de-oh
And Boop-oop Poop-oop-a-doop
Tootin', shootin', high-falutin'
I make you loop the loop

I'm from the great North West
I'm dif'rent from the rest
Stand up, stand up, throw your hands up
I shoot pants and vest

Oh, I've been a bad girl all my life
I pick my teeth with a carving knife
And I make a widow of a wife
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

Why, I slapped Jack Dempsey in the face
And I make barbed wire look like lace
And I throw myself right out of place
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

And I eat dynamite
And I blow up in spite
I shoot everything in sight
Beware! Boom boom! Take Care! Poo poo!

With one breath, I sink a boat
And if anybody gets my goat
I cut myself a piece of throat
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

Why, bullets, they bounce right off my chest
And I sleep on a hornet's nest
Why, I'm the gal sends show men west
'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

Why, lions tremble when I frown
When that great big Zeppelin came to town
Remember? I'm the one that held it down
Because I'm dangerous Nan McGrew

I like destroying pelf
I shoot bottles off the shelf
I'm so bad I scare myself
Take care! Boom boom! Beware! Poo poo!

Why, I pull a train right off the tracks
And for perfume, I use shellac
When mad dogs bite, I bite 'em back
Grrrr! 'Cause I'm dangerous Nan McGrew!

And It Stoned Me


And It Stoned Me
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison
and multiple other artists



Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands full of a fishin' rods
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

Then the rain let up, and the sun came up
And we were gettin' dry
Almost let a pick-up truck nearly pass us by
So we jumped right in and the driver grinned
And he dropped us up the road
We looked at the swim and we jumped right in
Not to mention the fishing poles

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Feel it run all over me

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

On the way back home we sang a song
But our throats were getting dry
Then we saw the man from across the road
With the sunshine in his eyes
Well he lived all alone in his own little home
With a great big gallon jar
There were bottles too, one for me and you
And he said, "Hey! there you are"

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me
