Angel On My Side


Angel On My Side
Composer(s): Judy Collins
Performer(s): Judy Collins



There was a time when the clocks all stopped
When the world just went away
I didn't know if it was night or day
I didn't know if there were clouds or fire in the sky
I didn't wanna live if I could die
Somewhere down the line I found myself up on that road
Where the devil led me, I would go
I had sold my soul for pleasure
Thinkin' it would last
All my hopes had vanished in the past

Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Driftin' away with the tide
God only knows how I made it back home
I must have an angel on my side

In the mornin' I'd wake up and shake my weary head
Wonder where I'd been and what I'd said
Was I on the River Styx for all eternity?
Would I drown forever in the sea?
Why did anyone keep livin', what was there to find?
I wanted just a little peace of mind

Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Driftin' away with the tide
God only knows how I made it back home
I must have an angel on my side

Never had a flash of lightnin' comin' right at me
One day I just know I woke up free
The day was breakin', I was livin'
I couldn't tell you why
First I laughed and then I learned to cry
Somethin' in my heart was sayin' you can reach the sky
You just gotta live until you die

Lost, I was lost like a child in the dark
Driftin' away with the tide
God only knows how I made it back home
I must have an angel on my side
I must have an angel
I must have an angel
I must have an angel on my side

Das Fest Der Pompadour


Das Fest Der Pompadour
Composer(s): D. Zimmerman; Renée Marcard
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Das Fest der Pom-Pom-Pompadour war wunderbar
Im alten Schloss, beim Kerzenschein
Das Fest der Pom-Pom-Pompadour vergess' ich nicht
Denn auf diesem Ball begann mein Glück, da traf ich dich

Madam Soso liess bitten
Zu einen grossen Maskenball
Das Motto hiess ``Das Fest der Pompadour''
Und man kam von überall

Kostbare Krinolinen
Die Damen in dem schönsten Kleid
Auf einmal sah ich dich, beim Menuett
Als ein Graf aus jener Zeit

Das Fest der Pom-Pom-Pompadour war wunderbar
Im alten Schloss, beim Kerzenschein
Das Fest der Pom-Pom-Pompadour vergess' ich nicht
Denn auf diesem Ball begann mein Glück, da traf ich dich

Ich seh heut' noch dein Lächeln
Als ich dir entgegen kam
Ich denke an dein strahlendes Gesicht
Als ich deine Rose nahm

Wir tanzten ohne Pause
Für mich schien es ein Traum zu sein
Auf dem Balkon hast du mich dann geküss
Bei Musik in Mondenschein

Das Fest der Pom-Pom-Pompadour war wunderbar
Im alten Schloss, beim Kerzenschein
Das Fest der Pom-Pom-Pompadour vergess' ich nicht
Denn auf diesem Ball begann mein Glück, da traf ich dich

Das Fest der Pom-Pom-Pompadour war wunderbar
Im alten Schloss, beim Kerzenschein
Das Fest der Pom-Pom-Pompadour vergess' ich nicht
Denn auf diesem Ball begann mein Glück, da traf ich dich

Angel On My Shoulder


Angel On My Shoulder Composer(s): Shelby Flint Performer(s): Shelby Flint and multiple other artists



Got an angel on my shoulder Got a penny in my pocket And I found a four leaf clover And I put it in my locket Wished on all the stars above me And I caught the nearest rainbow Gonna find someone to love me Gonna find someone to love Well I tossed a lot of nickels in the wishing well And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed But a warm and tender love is all I need And I want a love that lingers And a strong one through and through So I'm gonna cross my fingers That I'll find a boy who loves me true And I'm gonna love him too Well I tossed a lot of nickels in the wishing well And saved the fortunes that the fortune cookies tell I got a lucky penny and a mustard seed But a warm and tender love is all I need And I want a love that lingers And a strong one through and through So I'm gonna cross my fingers That I'll find a boy who loves me true And I'm gonna love him too

Darn That Dream


Darn That Dream
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Edgar De Lange
Originally performed by: Benny Goodman
Covered by various other artists



Darn that dream
I dream each night
You say you love me and hold me tight
But when I awake and you're out of sight
Oh, darn that dream

Darn your lips and darn your eyes
They lift me high above the moonlit sky
Then I tumble out of paradise
Oh, darn that dream

Darn that one track mind of mine
It can't understand that you don't care
Just to change the mood I'm in
I'd welcome a nice old nightmare

Darn that dream
And bless it too
Without that dream I never have you
But it haunts me and it won't come true

Oh, darn that dream

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn

Just call me angel of the morning Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning Angel
Then slowly turn away from me

Maybe the sun's light will be dim
And it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we ve sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're the victims of the night
I won't be blinded by light

Just call me angel of the morning Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning Angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day
Of the years, baby baby baby
Just call me angel of the morning Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

Darling, You Know I Wouldn't Lie


Darling, You Know I Wouldn't Lie Composer(s): Wayne Kemp - Red Lane First release by: Conway Twitty - 1968 Covered by multiple other artists



Here I am late again for the last time Like I promised, I just told her goodbye Believe me, for this time it's really over And darling, you know I wouldn't lie Didn't I come and tell you about her How temptation lured she and I Now I know it was only fascination And darling, you know I wouldn't lie I had to let her down easy, as slow as I could For after all she's got feelings too But it took a little longer than I thought it would This time she knows we're really through She wanted to hold me forever And this lipstick shows her final try And these tears on my shoulder are proof that she failed And darling, you know I wouldn't lie And darling, you know I wouldn't lie

Io camminavo nella notte
oramai non dormo piu'
quando ho incontrato
una ragazza
che era sola come me
aveva il viso di un bambino
aveva pianto e sai perche'
aveva gli occhi
dell'amore verdi
come due lacrime
d'amore grandi
aveva gli occhi
dell'amore verdi
m'innamorai di lei
lei di me
abbiam girato x le strade
come rondini perdute
abbiam vissuto mille anni
nello spazio di due ore
quando il mattino
ci ha svegliati
senza parlare
l'ho baciataaaaaa
aveva gli occhi
dell'amore verdi
e l'ho baciata
perche' amo lei
aveva gli occhi
dell'amore verdi
m'innamorai di lei
m'innamorai di lei
lei di me
lei di me
credi
credi
aveva gli occhi
dell'amore verdi
come due lacrime
d'amore grandi
aveva gli occhi
dell'amore verdi
come due lacrime
d'amore grandi
aveva gli occhi
dell'amore verdi
come due lacrime
d'amore grandi
aveva gli occhi
dell'amore
verdi
come due lacrime
d'amore grandi...

Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do
You know you've completely
Stolen my heart

Morning, noon and night-time too
Toujours, wondering what to do
That's the way I've felt
Right from the start

Ah, Cherie!
My love for you is très, très fort
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you compris
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do

Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you compris
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes I do

I love you, yes I do

Finns ingenting som kallas krav
och inga löften till varann
Om jag ber dig stanna kvar
är det bara nå't jag sa

Om några timmar ska du gå
en kväll blir allt vi nå'nsin får

Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling
En enda morgon med varandra, älskling
Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling

Förlåt mig, ja, jag vet
hur det ska gå

När gryningsljuset lyser in
då vill jag vakna i din famn
Och mjukt och stilla blir du min
jag känner värmen av din hand

Om någon säger - Du gör fel
Jag svarar - Ja, jag vet så väl

Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling
En enda morgon med varandra, älskling
Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling

Bind, bär mig, stanna kvar
Gömmer det som vi har
inom mig
Varje tår
När du går
Alla år
Älskling

Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling
En enda morgon med varandra, älskling
Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling

En enda morgon med varandra, älskling
Men om vi får en enda morgon, älskling
En enda morgon med varandra

Darlin' What Happened
Performer(s): B.B. King



Oh darling, what happened to that beautiful smile?
The ones you gave me any time we were face to face
Oh is it someone else taking my place
Oh baby, what happened

Oh what happened to those fast heartbeats?
The ones that excited me so
Oh tell me, don't you love me
Oh, baby, don't you care any more?
Darling, what happened

Oh it's so sad what a little time can do
Oh when you're hanging out with another
Losing a love with you
All those good times we had
Baby, just me and you

Oh darling, before I go
There's one thing I'd like to know
Don't you love me?
Don't you care any more?
Darling, what happened

Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Mark Knopfler



It's time to come away, my darling pretty
It's time to come away on the changing tide
Time to come away, darling pretty
And I need you darling by my side

Heal me with a smile, darling pretty
Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold
Carry me awhile, my darling pretty
Heal my aching heart and soul

Just like a castaway
Lost upon an endless sea
I saw you far away
Come to rescue me

Cast away the chains, darling pretty
Cast away the chains away behind
Take away my pain, my darling pretty
And the chains that once were yours and mine

There will come a day, darling pretty
There will come a day when hearts can fly
Love will find a way, my darling pretty
Find a heaven for you and I
Love will find a way, my darling pretty
Find a heaven for you and I

Angel Of Eight Avenue


Angel Of Eight Avenue
Composer(s): Ian Hunter
Performer(s): Mott The Hoople



The willow in the wind is gently weeping
No city lights tonight for she is sleeping
But in a little while she will awake and gently smile
My angel of eighth avenue, Manhattan morning

Somewhere a siren sounds and she is turning
She moves my arm around 'cause she is burning
She has so much to give but so little time to live
My angel of eighth avenue, Manhattan morning

As I look down the streets are slowly forming
And the ladies of the night have start performing
And the trash-collectors horn salutes the dawning
And soon the workward bound will they wake up yawning
And soft warm hands behind that give no warning
Tell me, for just one hour have I been learning

I have so much to say but so little time to stay
With my angel of eighth avenue, Manhattan morning
With my angel of eighth avenue, Manhattan morning

Darling Nikki


Darling Nikki
Composer(s): Prince
Originally performed by:Prince & the Revolution
Covered by various other artists



I knew a girl named Nikki I guess U could say she was a sex friend
I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine
She said, “How'd U like 2 waste some time?
And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind

She took me 2 her castle and I just couldn't believe my eyes
She had so many devices, everything that money could buy
She said, “Sign your name on the dotted line?
The lights went out and Nikki started 2 grind

Ow, Nikki!

The castle started spinning or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell U what she did 2 me, but me body will never be the same
Her lovin' will kick your behind, oh, she'll show U no mercy
But she'll sho'nuff, sho'nuff show U how 2 grind

Darlin' Nikki, oh!

I woke up the next morning, Nikki wasn't there
I looked all over, all I found was a phone number on the stairs
It said, “Thank U 4 a funky time
Call me up whenever U wanna grind?

Yeah, Nikki, oh!
Oh, come back Nikki, come back!
Your dirty little Prince wanna grind, grind, grind, ...!

Angel In Her Face


Angel In Her Face
Composer(s): Don Reid
Performer(s): The Statler Brothers



I miss the way she always knew when things were on my mind
I miss the way she'd always cling to every word of mine
I miss the way that only she could put me in my place
But most of all, I miss that look of angel in her face

I miss the comfort of her kiss, the sounds of love we shared
I miss the touch of her warm hand that spoke 1000 words
I miss the soul her love could give to things so commonplace
But most of all, I miss that look of angel in her face

She was soft & lonely when she first came to me
But I took her heart and only gave her misery

I miss the cling she always had with eyes that worshipped me
I miss the soul that I could feel, the warmth that I could see
And as she lies beside me now, I know I can't erase
The fact that I'm the one who took the angel from her face

Darling Nellie Gray


Darling Nellie Gray
Composer(s): Benjamin Russell Hanby
Performer(s): Eddy Arnold
and various other artists



There's a low green valley
On the old Kentucky shore
There I've whiled many happy hours away
A sittin' and a singin'
By the little cottage door
Where lived my darling Nellie Gray

Oh! My poor Nellie Gray
They have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling any more
I'm a sittin' by the river
And I'm weepin' all the day
For you've gone from the
Old Kentucky shore

One night I went to see her
But "she's gone," the neighbors say
The white man bound her with his chain
They have taken her to Georgia
For to wear her life away
As she toils in the cotton and the cane

Oh! My poor Nellie Gray
They have taken you away
And I'll never see my darling any more
I'm a sittin' by the river
And I'm weepin' all the day
For you've gone from the
Old Kentucky shore

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
