Angel's Delight


Angel's Delight
Composer(s): Danny Kirwan
Performer(s): Danny Kirwan



Oh Mother Nature is singing a song with the birds
Beautiful rhyme when the sun's up on time
From the hills
When the light of the day shines silent and still
There's nothing that stirs but the animal's word
Until...

We awake with the sounds of life that surrounds us
Love for tomorrow won't do for today
Salient bell across rivers that flow
Rings in the night
For the angel's delight
Angel's delight

Oh Mother Nature is singing a song with the birds
Beautiful rhyme when the sun's up on time
From the hills
When the light of the day shines silent and still
There's nothing that stirs but the animal's word
Until...

We awake with the sounds of life that surrounds us
Love for tomorrow won't do for today
Salient bell across rivers that flow
Rings in the night
For the angel's delight
Angel's delight
Angel's delight
Ooh... Ooh...
Ooh... Ooh...

Angels At My Gate


Angels At My Gate
Composer(s): Manfred Mann - Hirth Martinez - O'Neill
Performer(s): Manfred Mann's Earth Band



There's a finger on the dial
The lucky wheel goes round
Little joker knows he can't escape
The same time every year
The fun fair's back in town
Numbers in the air like ticker tape

58, 56, 54
Good angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
Good angels at my gate

Throw a seven down
Place another bet
The joker laughs as the stakes get higher
The gambler and the clown
Without a safety net
Balancing unsteady on a wire

58, 56, 54
Good angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
Good angels at my gate

There's a finger on the dial
The lucky wheel goes round
Little joker knows he can't escape
The same time every year
The fun fair's back in town
Numbers in the air like ticker tape

58, 56, 54
Good angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
Good angels at my gate
59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54
Good angels at my door
63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58
Good angels at my gate
59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54 ...

Daydream (The Lovin' Spoonful)


Daydream
Composer(s): John B. Sebastian
Originally performed by: The Lovin' Spoonful
Covered by various other artists



What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn

I've been having a sweet dream
I been dreaming since I woke up today
It's starring me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way

And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull doag

And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreaming boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreaming 'bout my bundle of joy

Angels Are Hard To Find


Angels Are Hard To Find
Composer(s): Hank Williams Jr.
Performer(s): Hank Williams Jr.



Lord I'm singing you this message up to heaven
asking you to send me down another angel
I've been looking for along time for someone to get her off my mind
but you know Lord, Angels are hard to find

I want an angel with arms and not with wings
Someone that I can call my darling
If you can think of someone to fit that description
Lord could you help me one more time
But I know Lord, Angels are hard to find

It's my fault I lost the first one you sent to me
I didn't know 'til she was gone how much she mean't to me
She loved me but I was blind
I bet I do a whole lot better next time
But I know Lord, Angels are hard to find

I want an angel with arms and not with wings
Someone that I can call darling
If you can think of someone to fit my description
Lord could you help ole Hank one more time
but I know Lord, yeah angels are hard to find
One like that right there Lord
Angels are hard to find

Daydream (Robin Trower)


Daydream
Composer(s): Robin Trower
Performer(s): Robin Trower



We were laughing in a daydream
With the world beneath our feet
And the sun smiled on the water
Where the sky's and the ocean meet

We was a spellbound
Ohh spellbound

We were listening down on the rainbow
As the leaves fell to the ground
Whispering as they tumble
And the wind laughed at the sound

We were spellbound
Ohh spellbound

We were spellbound
Ohh spellbound

We were children in a garden
Where the flowers kiss the sky
And the birds sang out in wonder
As the day went sailing by

We were spellbound
Mmmm spellbound
Ohhh spellbound
Mmmm spellbound
Ohh spellbound

Angels Among Us


Angels Among Us
Composer(s): Becky Hobbs - Don Goodman
Performer(s): Alabama
and multiple other artists



I was walking home from school on a cold winter's day
Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way
It was getting late and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
But I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
Grace us with thier mercy
In our time of need

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

In the moon's glimpse
Now all that'll save me
Is a total eclipse
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...

Like The Way I Do


Like The Way I Do
Composer(s): Melissa Etheridge
Performer(s): Melissa Etheridge; Melody; Gerd Rube



Is it so hard to satisfy your senses
You found out to love me you have to climb some fences
Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you
And just when it feels right you say you found someone else to hold you
Does she like i do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
She knows just how to shock you electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do

Can I survive all the implications
Even if I tried could you be less than an addiction
Don't you think I know there's so many others
Who would beg steal and lie fight kill and die
Just to hold you hold you like I do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do

Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody wants you like the way I do
Nobody needs you like the way I do
Nobody aches nobody aches just to hold you
Like the way I do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do

Daybreak (Frank Sinatra)


Daybreak
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Ferde Grofé
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and various other artists



Daybreak, another new day
The mist on the meadow is drifting away
For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now
And flowers break through their blanket of dew
Sunrise, how lovely it seems
To see from my window, a sky full of dreams
As the white clouds sail on through the blue
At daybreak I daydream of you

Angelo


Angelo
Performer(s): The Brotherhood Of Man



Long ago, high on a mountain in Mexico
Lived a young shepherd boy, Angelo
Who met a young girl and he loved her so
Rich was she, came from a very high family
Angelo knew it could never be
They ran away to their destiny

Running away together, running away forever
Angelo
Running away from danger, hiding from every stranger
Angelo
They knew it wasn't wrong
They found a love so strong
They took their lives that night
And in the morning light
They found them on the sand
They saw them lying there, hand in hand

Daybreak (Barry Manilow)


Daybreak
Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Adrienne Anderson
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



I'm singin' to the world, it's time we let the spirit come in
Let it come on in
I'm singin' to the world, everybody's caught in the spin
Look at where we've been
We've been runnin' around, year after year
Blinded with pride, blinded with fear

But it's daybreak, if you wanna believe
It can be daybreak, ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world

Singin' to the world, what's the point in puttin' it down?
There's so much love to share
I'm singin' to the world, don't you see it all comes around?
The feeling's everywhere
We've been closin' our eyes, day after day
Covered in clouds, losin' our way

Hey, but it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world

Yes, and it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world
Let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world

Yes, and it's daybreak
If you wanna believe, it can be daybreak
Ain't no time to grieve
Said it's daybreak, if you'll only believe
And let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world
C'mon and let it shine, shine, shine
All around the world

Plus fort, plus puissant aussi

Que personne n' t'aimera

Et plus les années passent
Plus on est solidaire
C'est peut-être çà notre destinée
En tout cas, crois-moi
Je suis toujours là
Car je suis ton ami!

Je bent een vriend van mij
Jij bent een vriend van mij
Ook als de weg er ruw bij ligt
en je warm zacht bed
is nergens in zicht
en dan word je wakker zeg!
Je bent een vriend van mij
Jij bent een vriend van mij

om te helpen in nood
We blijven samen

Je bent een vriend van mij
Jij bent een vriend van mij
Andere mensen zijn misschien
een beetje slimmer dan wij
een beetje groter, sterker ook
maar we blijven samen tot de dood

Je bent een vriend voor mij
Jij blijft een vriend voor mij
Je zal het zien
je blijft mijn vriend
Je bent een vriend van mij
Jij bent een vriend van mij

Day Or Night


Day Or Night
Composer(s): Bill Payne; Fran Tate
Performer(s): Little Feat



You can say what you want
People runnin', talkin', it's all going on up and down the street
Young girls selling their wares, no cares
Ah, history's left its mark, aha
Old folks that were able
Now can table it at their own expense
They wouldn't miss it, they don't care if it's day or night

Oh the city she makes
Sometimes your soul to feel floating just like a leaf in the wind
Street is stream so it carries you past your present schemes 'til there is no end
Left right in the alley
No one catches you but the gentle wind

There ain't no Jane, no Jill, no Sally to see you through
There ain't no Jane, no Jill, no Sally to see you through

So you do what you want
And pretend again that it's time to roam 'cause you can't go home
Maybe you'll find your way today
But while you're at it you'll have some fun
And through tears of laughter
You know it's nothing until you find someone
You wouldn't miss it
You don't care if it's day or night

Angelitos Negros


Angelitos Negros
((French Version: Les Anges Noirs (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Andres Eloy Blanco - Manuel Alvarez Maciste
Performer(s): Celia Cruz



Pintor nacido en mi tierra
con el pincel extranjero
pintor que sigues el rumbo
de tantos pintores viejos

Siempre que pintas iglesias
pintas angelitos bellos
pero nunca te acordaste
de pintar un ángel negro

Pintor si pintas con amor
¿Por qué desprecias su color
si sabes que en el cielo
también los quiere Dios?

Pintor de santos de alcoba
si tienes alma en el cuerpo
¿Por qué al pintar en tus cuadros
te olvidaste de los negros?

Aunque la virgen sea blanca
píntame angelitos negros
que también se van al cielo
todos los negritos buenos

Day Of The Eagle


Day Of The Eagle Composer(s): Robin Trower First release by: Robin Trower - 1974 Covered by multiple other artists



I saw a light, just up ahead
But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed
I'm not alone, than I am
People seem to think I'm superman
But I watch for the love
I'm living in the day of the eagle, the eagle not the, dove

Its like a weight, that brings me down
If I don't move, I'm on the ground
Its in my mind, Its in my soul
Its telling me the things I can't be told
Its a watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove

Another day, another night
I want to love, they want to fight
I need the time, I got to be alone
I got to meet a lover on my own
I watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove

Les Anges Noirs


Les Anges Noirs
((Spanish Version: Angelitos Negros (by Celia Cruz))
Composer(s): Andres Eloy Blanco - Manuel Alvarez Maciste - Jacques Larue - Michael Jourdan
Performer(s): Dalida



Oh peintre qui peint les anges
Sur les vitraux des églises
Il est une chose étrange
Permets que je te le dise
Pourquoi peins-tu leurs visages
Avec toujours la peau blanche
L'enfant noir cherche une image
Qui serait un peu la sienne

Pourquoi, l'enfant ne voit-il pas
Un seul, rien qu'un seul ange noir
Qui pourrait lui permettre
De mieux prier le soir

Même si la vierge est pâle
Dessine un ange très sombre
Au ciel de la cathédrale
Que les couleurs se confondent

Crois-moi, bien qu'il soit d'autres cieux
Les hommes, qui ferment un soir les yeux
Pour le dernier voyage
Ont tous le même Dieu

Day Of Silence


Day Of Silence
Composer(s): Pete Townshend
Performer(s): Pete Townshend



When you're feeling low
Try a day of silence
Take things very slow
Listen to the wireless
Never speak a sound
Sit up on the hedgerow
Watch the world go round
Peace will let your mind go

When you've had a row
Sit alone say nothing
It's really funny how
You quickly see that something
Wonderful and warm
Lies between each second
In every side and out
Eternity will beckon

You and me
We are part of a single soul
And one day we will know we're one
Sit and listen the word will come
There is nothing beneath the sun
That we can't realize
And one peaceful night
Will remind us that it's alright
And we'll figure we owe it all
To one life of silence

Whispers will emerge
Proud against the thunder
The wind hiss precious words
Erase our problems rumble
Watch a speckled fawn
Hear it crash like seaspray
Someone sees it all
We will meet him someday

When you're feeling low
Try a day of silence
Take things very slow
Maybe listen to the wireless
