I Can Hear Your Heartbeat


I Can Hear Your Heartbeat
Composer(s): Chris Rea
Performer(s): Chris Rea; Paul Cotton; Seppo Valjakka



In the silence of the side street
In the whisper of the night
From the darkness of the empty hours
To the early morning light
From the hustle down on main street
With all it's lights so bright
To the trucker on the highway
Pressing through the night

I can hear your heartbeat
I can hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet
To me

And I'm sailing on your wind song
Oh, I can feel the summer breeze
You've got me walking on my tiptoes
You've got me standing on my knees
From the mills way down in Pittsburgh
To the clubs of gay Paris
Ah, no matter where I roam, girl
You can always get to me

I can hear your heartbeat
I can hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet
To me

We got freezing Coca-Cola
We got anything you want
I moving on that back beat
Girl, but it's you that sings the song

'Cos I can hear your heartbeat
I can hear your heartbeat
The sound of you is so sweet
To me

Oh I still hear your heartbeat
Yea I still hear your heartbeat
Girl, the sound of you is so sweet
To me

Dawn's Highway


Dawn's Highway
Composer(s): Jim Morrison
Performer(s): The Doors



Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Me and my -ah- mother and father - and a
grandmother and a grandfather - were driving through
the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian
workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't
know what happened - but there were Indians scattered
all over the highway, bleeding to death

So the car pulls up and stops
That was the first time I tasted fear
I musta' been about four - like a child is like a flower
his head is just floating in the breeze, man
The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back
is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead Indians...
maybe one or two of 'em...were just running around freaking out
and just leaped into my soul
And they're still in there

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.

Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth if a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
Blood on the rise, it's following me

Indian, Indian what did you die for?
Indian says, nothing at all

Angelina (Ray Charles)


Angelina
Composer(s): Knut Koppang
Performer(s): Ray Charles



Angelina, why did you have to go
It's hard enough alone, well you should know
The scars you never showed me
Your eyes that turned away
Angelina, to God for you I prayed

Angelina, I often heard you weep
At times I'd stay awake and watch you sleep
Your innocence would move me
At times you've made me scared
Angelina, my love for you I cared

Angelina, in silence you would speak
A simple touch of you and I grew weak
You finally let me hold you
The day before you died
Angelina, my angel in the sky

You finally let me hold you
The day before you died
Angelina, my angel in the sky

Dawning


Dawning
Composer(s): Mark Barkan; Tony Powers
Performer(s): Jay & The Americans



I woke up this morning, the sun's shining brightly
And loving each leaf on each tree
Remembering the way that your lips touched mine lightly
Yes, your love is dawning on me
Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Yes, your love is dawning on me

Flowers are bloomin', the robin is singing,
And my heart is in harmony
The sweet things you said have all to my head
Oh yes, your love is dawning on me
Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Yes, your love is dawning on me

Perfume and roses and blue skies and laughter
The world is a great place to be
What used to be sadness has turned into gladness
Yes, your love is dawning on me
Wo oh ah oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Yes, your love is dawning on me

Angelina (Marty Robbins)


Angelina
Performer(s): Marty Robbins



We were children who played
On the backstreets of border towns
And we dreamed of the day when we might run away
To where the good life was found
I remember the night
When I asked you to be my girl
Now I feel so ashamed of the promise I made
When I said I would give you the world

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes
I believe I could change the world
With you by my side
My Angelina, give me courage to try
I believe in the man I see
In my Angelina`s eyes

Seems like nothin` worked out
Quite the way it was planned to be
Oh, the dreams that we chased when we came to this place
Are like nightmares to me
Workin` day after day
In the noise of the factory
And the money`s no good but if I say a word
Immigration will take me away

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes
I believe I could change the world
With you by my side
My Angelina, give me courage to try
I believe in the man I see
In my Angelina`s eyes

If I hadn`t been drunk
I would never have hit that man
But the whiskey and I saw the look in his eye
When he asked Angelina to dance
Now they`re takin` me south
To a jail down in border town
But it won`t be for long, Angelina, be strong
Keep believin` our dreams will work out

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes
I believe I could change the world
With you by my side
My Angelina, give me courage to try
I believe in the man I see
In my Angelina`s eyes

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes
I believe I could change the world
With you by my side
My Angelina, give me courage to try

Dawn: Dawn Is A Feeling


Dawn: Dawn Is A Feeling
Composer(s): Michael Pinder
Performer(s): The Moody Blues



Dawn is a feeling, a beautiful ceiling
The smell of grass just makes you pass into a dream

You're here today, no future fears
This day will last a thousand years, if you want it to

You look around you, things they astound you
So breathe in deep, you're not asleep open your mind

You're here today, no future fears
This day will last a thousand years, if you want it to

Do you understand that all over this land there's a feeling?
In minds far and near, things are becoming clear with a meaning

Now that you're knowing, pleasure starts flowing
It's true life flies, faster than eyes could ever see

You're here today, no future fears
This day will last a thousand years, if you want it to

Angélica, pourquoi es-tu si loin de moi
Tu es mon bonheur et ma joie!
Ton nom est si joli

Le vent qui court, au fond des bois
Chante pour moi, oh, mon amour
Angélica sérénade

Dawn (Go Away)


Dawn (Go Away)
Composer(s): Gaudio; Linzer
Performer(s): Frankie Valli



Pretty as a midsummers morn, they call her Dawn

Dawn, go away I'm no good for you
Oh, Dawn, stay with him he'll be good to you
Hang on, Hang on to him

Think, what a big man he'll be
Think, all the places you'll see
Now think what the future would be
with a poor boy like me

Dawn go away, please go away
Although I know I want you to stay
Dawn go away, please go away
Baby don't cry, it's better this way

Oh Dawn go away, back where you belong
Girl we can't change the places
where we were born
Before you say that you want me

I want you to think what your family would say
think what you're throwing away
Now think what the future would be
with a poor boy like me
repeat 5x Dawn, go away I'm no good for you

If It Feels Good, Do It
Composer(s): Michael Vale
Performer(s): Della Reese; Don Crawford; Hog Heaven



Well, there's just one thing in this whole wide world that can make any man beg for more
And there ain't no feelin' like makin' sweet, sweet love so tell me what you're waiting for
If it feels good, do it
If it feels good, do it
If it feels good, do it
Yeah, just do it if it feels good

So don't you love me once, 'less you're gonna love me twice
Every morning, every evening, every day of my life
And when the day comes that you find me lying dead and gone, long gone
I'm gonna have these words inscribed upon my stone, yeah, yeah
If it feels good, do it
If it feels good, do it
If it feels good, do it
Hey, hey, hey, just do it if it feels good

Do it, do it, but you've got to do it, do it
Do it, do it, but you've got to do it

David's Song


David's Song
Composer(s): David Paich
Performer(s): Cher



Won'tcha let me rock and roll you baby
I haven't seen you in a long, long time
I haven't fooled around with any candles lately
Just thought you might have some music in mind

Chorus:
Ah I just want to serenade you
Maybe we could even live a verse or two
And I could finish this ole love song
So I could start singing it to you
I could start singing it to you
If I could finish this ole love song
And I could start singing it to you

Won't you come and boogie-woogie with me baby
It's been a while since I held you close to me
I haven't met many boys like you baby
Knew I would find you eventually

Chorus

If It Feels Good Do It


If It Feels Good Do It
Composer(s): Jerry Chesnut
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



Some folks call me a laughin' boy
Some say I'm a clown
But till you've tried my way of life
Don't ever put it down
And if it feels good do it
If it hurts just let it lie
Now there's no mistery to it
Just a better way to look at life

Some folks worry bout growin' old but that don't bother me
Old age is one thing I hope that I live long enough to see
Forget your disappointments
Pretend they wasn't there
But when they pass out happiness
Be sure you get your share
And if it feels good...

One day when I'm old and gray
Lookin' back at what I've done
I can face the world and say that livin' sure was fun
And if it feels good...
And if it feels good...

D'autres Filles


D'autres Filles
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



J'ai tapissé ma chambre de ton plus beau regard
J'ai pas peur de décembre car j'ai dans mon placard
Un vrai soleil qui brille en souvenirs des beaux jours
J'ai connu d'autres filles mais pas un autre amour

Parfois l'idée me hante que tu me mènes en bateau
Mais qu'il pleuve ou qu'il vente je te cherche au fil de l'eau
Je traîne ma mélancolie comme un marin de port en port
J'ai connu d'autres filles mais je t'attends encore

Oh t'es partie sans laisser d'adresse oh t'as même pas signé ta photo
Mais y a encore toute ta tendresse qui plane autour de mon piano
De toutes mes harmonies tu es la dominante
J'ai connu d'autres filles mais c'est toi que je chante

Je suis trop seul le soir j'digère plus mon pain noir
Ni le quignon de chagrin qu'je garde pour le matin
Mais j'attends trop d'la vie pour lui tenir rancœur
J'ai connu d'autres filles mais j'attends le bonheur

J'attends que ta valise soit trop lourde à porter
J'attends qu'tu réalises que j'suis là pour t'aider
Même si tu changes de lit chaque fois que tu changes de banque
J'ai connu d'autres filles mais c'est toi qui me manques
C'est toi qui me manques

Original Traveling Man


Original Traveling Man
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall - Dave Dudley
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



I knew the state of ol' Wisconsin back when I was eight
I sang all over Minneapolis lookin' for a break
I rode the rapid rivers with the Chiquoia Indian tribe
I traveled on my thumb though it injured my pride
I'm the world's worst world's first go-while-you-can original traveling man
The world's best forget the rest one-night-stand original traveling man

I've traveled down to Nashville just a looking for a song
I've traveled down to Mexico just a looking for a home
I guess I've got a self-winding watch for a mind
I start runnin' down if I ain't movin' all the time
I'm the world's worst world's first...

I've traveled in a PT boat and fought for Uncle Sam
I've been as close to death as any living man
I've traveled in a limousine and I've traveled in a truck
I've traveled by myself ma'm but thank you very much
I'm the world's worst world's first...
Hey I'm the world's worst world's first...

Daughters Of Time


Daughters Of Time
Composer(s): Judy Collins
Performer(s): Judy Collins



From the beginning of time
Like a heartbeat that never can die
Like the wind on the sea like the sun on the sand
Like a baby's cry
We've had a dream in our hearts
That gives us the courage to try
We must have a song that says we can be strong

We must reach for the sky

We are the daughters of time
And the sisters of a new day
Born in the labor of love
And the promise of tomorrow
We are the children of light and we are here today
We are here to stay
The suns and the daughters of time

We are no longer alone we are no longer afraid

We can reach out with our hands and our hearts

That's how dreams are made
Over the water so wide
Like a bird that sails on through the sky
We know the way to be the best we can be
And look life in the eye

We are the daughters of time
And the sisters of a new day
Born in the labor of love
And the promise of tomorrow
We are the children of light and we are here today
We are here to stay
The suns and the daughters of time

Just like the lady in the harbor shining bright
Giving her hope in the darkest of the night
Just like the lady in the harbor standing tall
Now we know we are together one and all

We're on our way to the stars
Nothing can turn us away
We will survive and our dream is alive of a better day
There is a way to find peace
Turning away from the past
With love for our brothers and sisters on earth
We'll have a new world at last

We are the daughters of time
And the sisters of a new day
Born in the labor of love
And the promise of tomorrow
We are the children of light and we are here today
We are here to stay
The suns and the daughters of time

You've Got To Cry Girl


You've Got To Cry Girl
Composer(s): Dave Dudley - Richard Barish
Performer(s): Dave Dudley



Oh you've got to cry girl
Then you'll know how I miss you
Well I've grown up girl
I've learned how to be a man
I've cried tears, felt the pain
Have memories when you hurt me
But now look at me
I still know I can stand
Say are you listening girl
Do you hear what I'm saying
And do you know girl the reason that I walked out
Well you're young right now but tomorrow the world may find you
So learn from life and find what love's about

Oh you've got to cry girl before you can be a woman
And you've gotta hurt girl before you'll understand
You need tears and time and sad memories to complete you
So I wish you all the heartaches you can stand

Listen mama you got to choose
You can give up tryin'
Or break downi cryin'
Or keep on goin'
Change your mind

We'd Better Stop


We'd Better Stop
Composer(s): Don Goodman - Troy Seals - Will Jennings
Performer(s): Connie Cato



We'd better stop, don't go no further
'Cause you know this lovin' feelin's made us blind
We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other
'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine

We can't go on lovin' wrong
And never find the way to make things right
It's a shame, but it can't be changed
So we'll take the chance we won't be seen tonight

Just one last time and then it's over
But I know I'll never get you off my mind
We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other
'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine

We can't go on lovin' wrong
And never find the way to make things right
It's a shame, but it can't be changed
So we'll take the chance we won't be seen tonight

We'd better stop, we'll hurt each other
'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and you're not mine
'Cause darlin', I'm not yours and no, you're not mine
We'd better stop

Daughter Of Mine


Daughter Of Mine
Composer(s): Eric Robertson; Madeline Thomson
Performer(s): John McDermott;
Andy Cooney; Gary Gamble



These are the thoughts of a father
On the wedding day of his daughter
As his mind wanders back to the first time he held her
He looks at her now, the same pride in his eyes
As onto the dance floor they glide
This is the dance of the bride and her father

Dance with me daughter of mine
On this your wedding day
Dance with me daughter of mine
You'll soon be going away
I loved you since you first began
Now you've found a new man
But I love you so, and this you must know
That my love won't falter
So dance with me daughter
Beautiful daughter of mine

We walk down the aisle, on my face there's a smile
But deep in my heart there's a tear
Our friends and relations are here in the church
With smiles on their faces they stare
As we walk t'ward the man who has stolen your heart
And to whom I must give you away
But I wish you love and happiness too
On this your wedding day

Dance with me daughter of mine
On this your wedding day
Dance with me daughter of mine
You'll soon be going away
I loved you since you first began
Now you've found a new man
But I love you so, and this you must know
That my love won't falter
So dance with me daughter
Beautiful daughter of mine

The dance has begun, we twirl around the floor
But I know you're not my little girl anymore
A lovely young woman has taken her place
And there's happiness written all over her face
But always remember although we must part
You may leave my arms but never my heart

Dance with me daughter of mine
On this your wedding day
Dance with me daughter of mine
You'll soon be going away
I loved you since you first began
Now you've found a new man
But I love you so, and this you must know
That my love won't falter
So dance with me daughter
Beautiful daughter of mine

Angelica (Jimmy Frey)


Angelica
Composer(s): Ralph Benatar - Jimmy Frey - Chris Lorans
Performer(s): Jimmy Frey



Angelica, I love you
Angelica, je t'aime
Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort

Het wordt reeds laat en je droomprins liet zich niet zien
Hij schonk je geen paleis en jij werd geen koningin
Toe verlaat je sprookjeswereld en je feestkledij
Want jou plaats Angelica is bij mij

Angelica, I love you
Angelica, ich liebe dich
Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort
Angelica, I love you
Angelica, ti amo
Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort

'k Ben niet rijk maar men liefde is diep als de zee
Men huisje is maar klein maar groot genoeg voor ons twee
En in men armen zal het 's avonds warmer zijn
Dan tussen kanten lakens van satijn

Angelica, I love you
Angelica, je t'aime
Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort
Angelica, I love you
Angelica, ik hou van jou
Meisje kom terug waar jij behoort

Daughter Of Darkness


Daughter Of Darkness
Performer(s): Tom Jones



Woman, I can remember a woman
Warm were her kisses and tender was she
Lying there in my arms
Why, why did you deceive me so
What devil inside made you go
When I needed you most of all

Daughter of darkness
Stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, you broke it apart
Daughter of darkness
Daughter of darkness
Please leave me alone forever
Daughter of darkness gone is the love
That we shared together

Heaven, we had our own kind of heaven
Sharing together, the magic of love
In a world of our own
Then oh so suddenly you were gone
The love I depended upon disappeared when you went away

Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, you broke it apart
Oh daughter of darkness
Daughter of darkness leave me alone forever
Daughter of darkness gone is the love
That we shared together
Daughter of darkness stay out of my life, my life
You took my heart, you broke it apart
Oh daughter of darkness
