And That Reminds Me


And That Reminds Me
Composer(s): Camillo Bargoni - Al Stillman
Performer(s): Della Reese
and multiple other artists



I hear the sound of music
Your favorite kind of music
And that reminds me dear of you
I see the summer roses
Your favorite shade of roses
And that reminds me to of you, dear

If I could hear no music
If there should be no roses
No summer nights to make me dream as I do
Perhaps, I might forget you
But in my heart I know
That I need no reminder to miss you so

I hear the sound of music
Your favorite kind of music
And that reminds me dear of you
I see the summer roses
Your favorite shade of roses
And that reminds me to of you, dear

If I could hear no music
If there should be no roses
No summer nights to make me dream as I do
Perhaps, I might forget you
But in my heart I know
That I need no reminder to miss you so

Dans Dix Ou Dans Vingt Ans


Dans Dix Ou Dans Vingt Ans
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici
Quand nous aurons enfin compris
Que l'on ne peut pas vivre ainsi
De caresses et de déchirures
Quand je t'aurai assez trahie
Que tu m'auras assez meurtri
Saurons-nous recouvrir d'oubli
Les raisons de nos meurtrissures?
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans qui sait
Si enfin libre désormais
D'un passé de bosses et de plaies
Faites d'orgueil et de bêtises
Malgré le mal que tu me fais
Malgré tout ce qu'en moi tu hais
Connaîtrons-nous enfin la paix
A travers ce qui nous divise?

Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici
Quand mille fois j'aurai franchi
Le chemin de la porte au lit
Et celui du lit à la porte
Et que n'étant plus ennemis
En nos coeurs comme en nos esprits
Tous les sujets de jalousie
Entre nous serons lettres mortes
Dans dix ou dans vingt ans passés
Que reste-t-il des années
Qu'ensemble nous aurons brûlées
En guerres froides et en reproches?
Quand le temps aura effacé
Tout ce qui peut nous séparer
Peut-être saurons-nous trouver
Des choses enfin qui nous rapprochent

Dans dix ou dans vingt ans d'ici
Quand l'âge nous auras soumis
Et qu'entre fugues et folies
L'amour aura franchi le pire
Lorsque nous connaîtrons le prix
De la tendresse et de la vie,
Que nous n'aurons plus par défi
De plaisir à s'entre-détruire
Je reviendrai par la pensée
Sur les détails de ce passé
Que tout deux nous aurons signés
La tête en feu et le coeur ivre
En me disant qu'à tes côtés
Malgré tout, et tout bien pesé
Il était beau le temps d'aimer
Il était beau le temps de vivre

And So Will You My Love


And So Will You My Love
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
Performer(s): Willie Nelson



The music stopped
The crowd is thinning now
One phase of night
Has reached an ending now
And nothing
Nothing lasts forever
Except forever

And you my love
And so you will my love

The street is dark here
While I walk along
And since you've gone
I always walk alone
'Cause nothing
Nothing lasts forever
Except forever

And you my love
And so will you my love

The dawn and I
Arrive at home at last
Night turns it's lonely face
Toward the past
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Except forever

And you my love
And so will you my love

Danny's Song


Danny's Song
Composer(s): Kenny Loggins
Originally performed by: Gator Creek
Covered by various other artists



People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, and we've just begun
Think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love
Sun is gonna shine above

Chorus:
And even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with ya honey
And everything will bring a chain of love
And in the morning when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright
Seems as though a month ago I beta chi, never got high
Oh, I was a sorry guy
And now a smile, a face, a girl that shares my name
Now I'm through with the game, this boy will never be the same

(To chorus:)

Pisces, Virgo rising is a very good sign, strong and kind
And the little boy is mine
Now I see a family where there once was none, now we've just begun
Yeah, we're gonna fly to the sun

(To chorus:)

Love the girl who holds the world in a paper cup, drink it up
Love her and she'll bring you luck
And if you find she helps your mind, buddy, take her home
Don't you live alone, try to earn what lovers own

(To chorus:)

And So To Sleep Again


And So To Sleep Again
Composer(s): Joe Marsala - Sunny Skylar
Performer(s): Coleman Hawkins
and multiple other artists



And so to sleep again, as if I’ll ever sleep again
These restless nights go on away from you
And so to dream again, as if I’ll ever dream again
My darling, since you’ve gone, my dreams are through

No other arms can ease this ache within my heart
No other lips can kiss away these tears that start
And so to sleep again, as if I’ll ever sleep again
As if I’ll ever love again anyone but you

No other arms can ease this ache within my heart
No other lips can kiss away these tears that start
And so to sleep again, as if I’ll ever sleep again
As if I’ll ever love again anyone but you

Danny's All-Star Joint


Danny's All-Star Joint
Composer(s): Rickie Lee Jones
Performer(s): Rickie Lee Jones; Sarah Green



Downstairs at Danny's All-Star joint
They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt
The vice is nice, they stay in the back all day
But when the nighttime comes, hey-hey
There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup
I come around struttin' my luck in my shoop coupe
Cecil gives me coffee
And he won't never take my coin
I say, "I got thirty dollars in my pocket!
Whatchoo doin'?"

I holler, "Come on, Cecil, take a dollar!
Come on, Cecil, take a ten!
I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones
And you're actin' like I'm down-shiftin'"

He knows all the under-riders on the boulevard
They got to barefoot cruise when it's forty-weight hard
They look particularly dead-beat
Permanently pale
Cecil picks up his butcher knife
Waves it at the jail
The kid say, "I ain't got no dough, Joe, I just want some OJ"
I said, "Don't look at me" (Cuz he was lookin' my way)
Cecil wink upon him some juice and some green
And the kid walks over and puts the quarter in the pinball machine
And he says, "Come on, Cec, gimme a dollar
Come on Cecil gimme five
I'm in a halfway house on a one-way street
And I'm a quarter past left alive"

He can talk about your people in a wonderful way
He can talk about your people 'til your hair turns grey
Your sisters into mustard
She loves to walk the pup
She like pickles and a relish
She never gets enough
A Hershey milkshake
Steamin on a stick
For a Carte Blanche Sandwich
Oh lettuce get thick...
It's not because I'm dirty
It's not because I'm clean
It's not because I kiss the boys behind a magazine...
Hey Boys, how 'bout a fight?
Here comes Ricky with the girdle on tight
And if she dont know your name
She knows what you got
From your matzo balls
To the chicken in the pot..
Chicken in the pot...
Chicken in the pot...
Chicken in the...

Dooowwwnnn stairs at Danny's All-Star joint
They got a jukebox that goes doyt-doyt
A finger-snappin' deluxe
Make your be-bop bap
And your r and b hep-scat

You can't break the rules until you know how to play the game
But if you just wanna have a little fun
you can mention my name
Keep your feet in the street...
Your toes in the lawn...
But keep your business in your pocket
That's where it belongs

Come on, Cecil, take a dollar
Come on, Cecil, take a tip
Do yourself a favour
If she offers it, take it
But honey, don't give it away if he don't appreciate it

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

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

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
