Angel In Disguise (Ann Sheridan)


Angel In Disguise
Composer(s): Paul Mann - Stefan Weiss - Kim Gannon
Performer(s): Ann Sheridan



Your just an angel in disguise
Who wandered down from up above
Your just a heavenly surprise
Who came to earth for me to love

This introduction to an angel
Is more than thrilling, it leaves me shy
But in as much as you're an angel
I'm more than willing to teach my timid heart to fly

I simply don't know what to do
I'm not accustomed to these things
Perhaps the smartest thing to do
Is take the scissors to your wings

Then I'll be sure your mine forever
That you can never return above
I'll have an angel in disguise,
Forever in my arms to love

This introduction to an angel
Is more than thrilling, it leaves me shy
But in as much as you're an angel
I'm more than willing to teach my timid heart to fly

You are an angel, angel divine
You're sent from heaven

You're sent from heaven

Oh darling, oh darling
Oh my darling Lorraine

Angel In Blue


Angel In Blue
Composer(s): Seth Justman
Performer(s): The J. Geils Band



We met in a bar
Out on Chesapeake Bay
With her white patent boots
And her blouse red lame
A table top dancer
She would smile on cue
Those lips of an angel
Angel in blue
She's been dancing for ages
Though cities of bars
She was kickin' the habit
of scoring in cars
She'd been drained of her spirit
All caged in this zoo
A wildcat angel
Angel in blue
And as she stared out into nowhere
I thought, yes, I thought she might break down and cry
When I whispered I thought I could love her
She just said "Baby, don't even bother to try"
And I watched as she spoke
Her words chilled my bones
All her friends did her favors
That were really just loans
And she never had dreams
So they never came true
The palest of angels
Angel in blue
And the bees they had stung her
The birds they had flown
There were guys she could number
But none she had known
And she never had dreams
So they never came true
My fade away angel
Angel in blue

Darling Be Home Soon


Darling Be Home Soon
Composer(s): Steve Boone; John Sebastian
Originally performed by: The Lovin' Spoonful
Covered by various other artists



Come and talk of all the things we did today
Here and laugh about our funny little ways
while we have a few minutes to breathe
and I know that it's time you must leave

But darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed
I think I've come to see myself at last
and I see that the time spent confused
was the time that I spent without you
And I feel myself in bloom

So darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

So darling...
My darling be home soon
I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
My darling be home soon
It's not just these few hours but I've been waiting since I toddled
For the great relief of having you to talk to

Go and beat your crazy head against the sky
try and see beyond the houses and your eyes
It's ok to shoot the moon

Angel From The Coast


Angel From The Coast
Composer(s): Phil Lynott - Brian Robertson
Performer(s): Thin Lizzy



The sacred heart is bleeding
Go tell the Holy Ghost
That the junkie is still cheating
To get the thing he needs the most

Lady Luck has me covered
Keeping her watchful eyes over me
The lovers are discovered
The charge is first degree

Angel, she's a killer
Just flown in from the coast
Makes the hit, it's a winner
Leaves you dead as the post

Sally took to playing poker
The joker is her favorite card
The drunk he can't stay sober
He says it's much too hard

Meantime something seedy
Was happening across the hall
Somebody seemed to be groaning
You could hear it through the wall

The cops they came like lightning
The bullets flew astray
The noise it was frightening
The crook he got away

Composer(s): Roger Dumas
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Darling baby je t'aime
Darling baby
Mais dis-moi si tu m'aimes

Qu'un tout petit mot de français

Elle répond toujours ricard

Darling baby dis-moi
Darling baby
Qu'est-ce que j'peux faire pour toi
Darling baby

Si on allait faire un tour
Si on allait faire l'amour
Dis-moi d'accord pour ce soir
Mais elle répond toujours ricard

Darling baby ça y est
Darling baby
T'as eu c'que tu voulais
On t'a servi

Un ricard et tu as ri car
T' avais r'trouvé la mémoire
Et quand j' t'ai demandé si tu voulais bien
Tu m'as dis oui

Angel From Montgomery


Angel From Montgomery
Composer(s): John Prine
First release by: John Prine - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man's another
Child that's grown old
If dreams were lightnin'
And Thunder were desire
This old house would've burned down
A long time ago

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold onto
To believe in this livin'
Is such a hard way to go

When I was a young girl
I had me a cowboy
Weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man
But that was a long time
And no matter how I try
The years just flow by
Like a broken down dam

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold onto
To believe in this livin'
Is such a hard way to go

There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear 'em in there buzzin'
And I ain't done nothin'
Since I woke up today
How the hell can a person
Go to work in the mornin'
And come home in the evenin'
And have nothin' to say

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold onto
To believe in this livin'
Is such a hard way to go

Darlin' Cora


Darlin' Cora
Composer(s): Fred Brooks
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte



Wake up, wake up Darlin' Cora
Wanna see you one more time
The sheriff and his hound dogs a coming
I gotta move on down the line

I don't know why darlin' Cora
Don't know what the reason can be
But I never had found a single town
Where me and my boss-man agree

I ain't a man to be played with
I ain't nobody's toy
Been working for my pay for a long, long time
How come he still calls me boy

Well I'd rather drink muddy water
And sleep in a hollowed out log
Than to hang around in this old town
And be treated like a dirty dog

Well I whopped that man darlin' Cora
And he fell down where he stood
Don't know if I was wrong darlin' Cora
But Lord it sure felt good

If it wasn't so dark darlin' Cora
You'd see tears trickling down my face
It breaks my heart darlin' Cora
But I got to leave this place
Wake up, wake up darlin' Cora

Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground


Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
First release by: Willie Nelson - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



If you had not have fallen
I would not have found you
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
And I patched up your broken wings
And hung around a while
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
Knew someday that you would fly away
For loves the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to
I will still remember
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
So fly on
Fly on
Past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up then to see you down
So leave me if you need to
I'll still remember
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
Leave me if you need to
I'll still remember
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground

Angel Fingers


Angel Fingers
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): Wizzard



As I was lying in my bedroom fast asleep
Filled with those famous teenage pictures that you keep
Will Dion still be so important to you on your wedding day

Angel Fingers, Angel Fingers
How I'd sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That's why I fell in love with you

I drove my motorcycle to that small café
That's when I heard our favourite record start to play
If I'm not singing in a suit that's clinging
Please don't walk away

Angel Fingers, Angel Fingers
How I'd sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That's why I fell in love with you

If I could land a job with that cool rockin' band
You'd notice me with that red guitar in my hand
With money in my jeans my baby
We'd have all these things we planned

Angel Fingers, Angel Fingers
How I'd sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That's why I fell in love with you

Oh Oh Angel, Angel Fingers
How I'd sing for the things you do
How it lingers, Angel Fingers
That's why I fell in love with you

Darlin', I'm feeling pretty lonesome
I'd call you on the phone soon
But I don't have a dime
Darlin' you're so far behind me
Tomorrow's gonna find me
Further down the line

Takin' me some paper
Pencil in my hand
I'm gonna write

Darlin', you know I feel the cold nights
Thinking of the old nights
Spent along with you

Darlin' the tear is in my eye now
Knowing I can try now
To make it back to you

Darlin', love you more than ever
Wish we were together
Darlin' of mine.
Darlin', I'm feeling pretty lonesome, ...

Darlin' (Brenton Wood)


Darlin'
Performer(s): Brenton Wood



Darlin', if I sat down and I wrote a song
I would know where every word belongs
'cuz I'd write my song about you
Darlin', if I tried to paint a work of art
all the colors would pour from my heart
'cuz all I think about is you
If I built a tower, it would reach right to the sky
If I plant a flower, it will never die
I could climb a mountain
No, there's nothing I couldn't do
Now that's the way it is for me now that I found you
Darlin', I find I think about you every day
You're the only thing that's on my mind
Couldn't make it without you
Darlin', I love you
Darlin' Darlin' Darlin', I need you...

Angel Eyes


Angel Eyes
Composer(s): Earl Brent Matt Dennis
First recording/First release by: Ella Fitzgerald - 1952/Nat King Cole & Billy May & His Orch. - 1953
Covered by multiple other artists



Try to think that love's not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My own heart ain't gainin' no ground
Because my Angel Eyes ain't here

Angel Eyes that old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say that my love's mis-spent
Mis-spent with Angel Eyes tonight

So drink up, drink up all you people
And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink, and the laugh's, on me

Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact's uncommonly clear
I gotta find who's now number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here

I gotta find who's now the number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain't here
`Scuse me while I disappear

Darla Dirladada (Italian Version)


Darla Dirladada
Composer(s): Boris Bergman; Pallavicini Guinis
Performer(s): Dalida



Dirladadà dirladadà
Ho seminato il grano el vento
Ho messo il enore in un convento
Dirladadà dirladadà
Ho riso e quaiche volta pianto
Non so se il mondo vale tanto
Io son felice quando canto
Ho dirlada una montagna
Mi siedo sopra e elo che vedo
Dico che è mio e poi ci credo
Redirlada dirladadà
Ci vuole con poco in fondo
Per diventare i re del mondo
Io danzero dirladadà

Dirladadà il mondo bella
La pazza danza della vita
Solleva il mondo con due dita
E centomila cuori in festa
Cantasse il mondo più di adesso
La stessa vuota trite vita
Che fa dirla dirladadà
E dirlada era un ragazzo
Diceva cose mai sentite
Mi dava cose mai avute
E solo lacrime ha lasciato
Il mio nomo le ha capite
E mi ha curato le ferite
Dirladadà dirladadà
E dirlada il mondo bella
La pazza danza della vita
Solleva il mondo con due dita
Dirladadà dirladadà
Una canzone da cantare
E volte fa dimenticare
Oh dirlada il mondo canta
Dirladadà la gente bella
La vita è un dirladadà
Pero la vita lo si sa
Va presa in fondo come va
E la morale è questa qua
E dirlada dirladadà
Oh dadadà dirladadà...

Angeleyes


Angeleyes
Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus
First release by: ABBA - 1979
Covered by multiple other artists



Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah

Last night I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
Then I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say
Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play

Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah

Sometimes when I'm lonely I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Every time when I see him, will it bring back all the pain?
Ah-ha-ha, how can I forget that name?

Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Crazy 'bout his angeleyes
Angeleyes
He took my heart and now I pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
Then one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah

Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking, ah-aaaah
Keep thinking, I had to pay the price

Darla Dirladada (German Version)


Darla Dirladada
Composer(s): Boris Bergman
Performer(s): Dalida



So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss
Denn alles kommt, wie's kommen muss
Da helfen schöne orte nicht
Wenn auch dein mund so viel verspricht
So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss
Es gibt nur noch den abschiedskuss
Dann geh ich fort aus unsrem haus
Denn für uns beide ist es aus

Du liebst dein geld und willst noch mehr
Ich hab zwei hände, die sind leer
So schön es war, doch nun ist schluss
Adieu, leb wohl, ein letzter gruss
Du kannst vergessen, ach, so schnell
Die andre tritt an meine stell
Ich aber werde traurig sein
Dort im hotel und gauz allein

Ich hasse sie, die grosse stadt
Die mich ums glück betrogen hat
Mir bleiben nur noch wald und feld
Dort, wo freund fluss mir treue hält
Der mit mir lebt, weil er mich kennt
Wenn er über die kiesel rennt
Singt er, singt er allein für mich
Re dirlada dirladada

Ich hass dich nicht, du bist nicht schlecht
Jetzt hab ich doch auf mich ein recht
Der heisst dirla dirladada
Wie all das geld, das dir gehört
Es war so schön, doch nun ist schluss
Denn alles kommt, wiets kommen muss
Ich hab dir ja gesagt, warum
Ich gehe fort, schau mich nicht um

Geh hin zum fluss, zu meinem freund
Der singt dirlade dirlada
Ich hass dich nicht, du bist nicht schlecht
Jetzt hab ich doch auf mich ein recht
Und nun gehör ich meinem fluss
Und lebe, wie ich leben muss
Und singe mit dem fluss vereint
Ein frohes lied mit meinem freund
Das lied Dirlare dirlada
Oh dadada dirladada
Re dirlada dirladada
Darla dirla dirladada

You excite me everytime you speak
When you touch me I get, oh, so weak
I have never met a girl like you, baby
You're the one that I'll give my whole life to

All I wanna say is angel doll
When I met you there with holiness
You're my everything I must confess
I have never known such tenderness

Baby, you can't compare this love we share
That takes away my feels, yeah
This love and real I can't conceal
And I'm so, so, so glad you're here

Angel doll, it will be a great catastrophe, baby
And my whole world would comin' down on me
If our love would ever seize to be

That's why I call you, angel doll
You're the substance of my every prayer, baby
I'll be happy with you anywhere
Let me shield you with my loving care

Heaven must have sent you, honey
You're an angel in disguise, yeah
'Cause all the love I wanted so long
I can see it in your eyes

Angel doll, you're the reason that I carry on, baby
I can't make it, I can't make it by myself alone
You're the one that I'm depending upon

Angel doll, you know that I love you
Angel doll, I put no one above you
Angel doll, you knock me off of my feet
Angel doll, you make my whole life complete
Angel doll ...

Darla Dirladada
Composer(s): Boris Bergman; J. Musy
Performer(s): Dalida



Adieu Monsieur tout est fini
Quitte moi et refais ta vie
Je préférais la fleur des champs
Toi le soleil de ses vingt ans
Monsieur tu n'étais pas fidèle
A ce qu'en disait mes amis
Il faisait bon dans le logis
Adieu Monsieur j'avais du cœur
Elle a deux champs et un tracteur
Et moi je n'ai que mes deux mains
Pour semer le vent et le grain
Adieu Monsieur pendant que t'aime
Moi j'irai voir pousser les graines

Adieu Monsieur tout est fini
Adieu l'enfant tu pars aussi
On dit que la ville c'est mieux qu'ici
Tu pourras avoir des voitures
Comme dans les livres d'aventures
Je n'ai qu'une enfant, c'est ma terre
Je n'ai qu'une amie, la rivière
Elle est à moi elle me connaît
Quand elle danse sur les galets
Elle fait dirla dirladada, et dirlada dirladada
Cour le furet file la vague
Je vivrai dans un monde d'algues
Qui fait dirla dirladada

Adieu l'enfant, adieu marie
Laissez-moi donc vivre ma vie
Il est temps de couper le seigle
Je crois que je vous ai tout dit
Je n'ai qu'une enfant, c'est ma terre
Je n'ai qu'une amie, la rivière
Elle fait dirla dirladada
Court le furet file la vague
Je vivrai dans un monde d'algues
Qui fait dirla dirladada
Et j'aurais l'océan pour toi
Qui chante ladirladada ladidir dirladada
Redirlada dirladada oh dadadadirladada
Qui chante ladirladada...
