Bright White
Bright White
Composer(s): Shawn Phillips
Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
Now I told you a long time ago
that I'd hold you
never let you go behind me
anywhere I might flow
And I know you believe in me
And I hope you are seeing my dream
A whole lot of people in this world
Just running around
And it's a long way in the face of fear
and there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore
and money is the name in the game of fame
but the music don't come out quite the same anymore
It's all about a bright white light
shining through your mind and guiding your way
Mama put your arms around me
fill me with your joy and rock me all night
I told you a long time ago
that I'd hold you
never let you go behind me
anywhere I might flow
And I'll hold you in winter and spring
and behold you in everything I sing
Being in your arms is just like coming home
And it's a long way in the face of fear
and there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore
and money is the name in the game of fame
but the music don't come out quite the same anymore
It's all about a bright white light
shining through your mind and guiding your way
Mama put your arms around me
fill me with your joy and rock me all night

Let The Worry Bird Worry For You
Let The Worry Bird Worry For You
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Jule Styne
Performer(s): Nellie Lutcher & Her Rhythm
Everyone has his share of care and woe
Even in Lovers Lane there’s rain and snow
We all have to pay the piper
So why be a gloomy griper
Forget regret, don’t let it get you low, no
Let the worry bird worry for you
Let the worry bird fuss and stew
He’s a wonderful pet
And when you get the jitters, he twitters
Let the worry bird worry his head
Have the time of your life instead
What’s a tumble or two
As long as you can keep well, sleep well
Every cloud is silver-lined, bear that in mind
When old man trouble gets tough
And the going gets rough
Let the worry bird worry for you
It’s remarkable what he’ll do
He’ll consider it fun to be your understudy
So buddy, why should you be blue?
Let the worry bird sing the blues for you

Bright Shiny Colors
Composer(s): Davie; Rieger; Vance
Performer(s): The Shirelles
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
Come on baby, won't you come with me?
There's so many things for us to see
There's a heaven made behind each door
We'll see things we never saw before, and we'll sing
Chorus:
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
Baby, baby, you & I will be seein'...
Bright shiny colors so strange and new
Bright shiny colors I'll see with you
Bright shiny colors, that's what I'll say
Bright shiny colors run through my head
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
People's faces painted just like clowns
We'll ride elevators up and down
We'll go places no one ever goes
We'll go walking on our own rainbows, and we'll sing
Chorus

Let The Wind Carry Me
Let The Wind Carry Me
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
Papa's faith is people
Mama she believes in cleaning
Papa's faith is in people
Mama she's always cleaning
Papa brought home the sugar
Mama taught me the deeper meaning
She don't like my kick pleat skirt
She don't like my eyelids painted green
She don't like me staying up late
In my high-heeled shoes
Living for that rock'n'roll dancing scene
Papa says leave the girl alone, mother
She's looking like a movie queen
Mama thinks she spoilt me
Papa knows somehow he set me free
Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten
She blames herself
But papa he blesses me
It's a rough road to travel
Mama let go now
It's always called for me
Sometimes I get that feeling
And I want to settle
And raise a child up with somebody
I get that strong longing
And I want to settle
And raise a child up with somebody
But it passes like the summer
I'm a wild seed again
Let the wind carry me

Let The Rest Of The World Go By
Let The Rest Of The World Go By
Composer(s): Ernest Ball - Karen Brennan
Performer(s): Dick Haymes
and multiple other artists
Is the struggle and strife we find in this life
Really worth while, after all
I've been wishing today I could just run away
Out where the west winds call
With someone like you, a pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own
We'll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Out there beneath a kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
And let the rest of the world go by
Is the future to hold just struggles for gold
While the real world waits outside
Away out on the breast of the wonderful west
Across the Great Divide
With someone like you, a pal good and true
I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find
Some place that's known to God alone
Just a spot to call our own
We'll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease
Out there beneath a kindly sky
We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west
And let the rest of the world go by

Bright Eyes I Love You So
Bright Eyes I Love You So
Composer(s): Frank A. Ryan
I'm wondering if dreams come true
Last night my love, I dreamed of you
I dreamed that I kissed you
caressed you and blessed you
you wonder why I love you so
The reason I will tell to you
the many charms about you
tell me ne'er to doubt you
surely you'll be true
A dream, they say is but a dream
When things are not just as they seem
You'll always be near me
forever you'll cheer me
my heart cries out each night and day
And longs for you when you're away
dearie trusting you'll remember
that love's burning ember means I love yo so
Your bright eyes are like the sunshine tow'ring from above
The birds, the trees, the perfumed flowers blend your songs of love
It seems the gates of Heav'n are opened with your smiling face
The world's a glow for now
you know that's just why I love you so

Let The People Sing
Let The People Sing
Composer(s): Noel Gay - Frank Eyton - Ian Grant
Performer(s): Geraldo & His Orch.; Evelyn Laye; Jack Payne
If I were king for a day
To my advisors I’d say
Within my kingdom it’s found
There’s too much sadness around
Let music come to our aid
Command that music be made
Let all the people parade
This shall be my decree
Let the people sing, sing like anything
Any sort of song they choose
Let the people sing, let the welkin ring
Anything to kill the blues
Write a merry song to cheer them
Tell them that I long to hear them
When things all go wrong, you will find a song
Welcome as a breath of spring
Therefore let the people sing>

Bright Eyes
Bright Eyes
Composer(s): Mike Batt
Originally performed by: Art Garfunkel
Covered by various other artists
Is it a kind of dream, floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream, oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon, a strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where you go, and what does it mean
Oh, oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
Is it a kind of shadow, reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen, or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees, a cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows where you go, and where do you start
Oh, oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes

Let The Music Do The Talking
Composer(s): Joe Perry
First release by: The Joe Perry Project - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists
Wanna take a chance and dance before
I got to leave alone
One short song and she'll be gone
I wish her off was on
Gotta try, gotta try another way to get her
To come around to me
Wanna take a chance and dance before
I got to leave alone
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
There's just one more thing
I've gotta say
But, I'll explain a different way
You've gotta know I got an axe to grind
I know you won't mind
In your eyes I see the sky no question
Our hearts belong entwined
One last thing, our love
Is positively meant to be
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Wanna take a chance and dance before
I got to leave alone
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking

Brigas
Composer(s): Jair Amorim; Evaldo Gouveia
Performer(s): Raimundo Fagner
and various other artists
Veja só / Que tolice nós dois
Brigarmos tanto assim / Se depois
Vamos nós a sorrir / Trocar de bem no fim
Para que maltratarmos o amor
O amor não se maltrata não
Para que / Se essa gente o que quer
É ver nossa separação
Brigo eu / Você briga também
Por coisas tão banais
E o amor / Em momentos assim
Morre um pouquinho mais
E ao morrer / Então é que se ve
Que quem morreu fui eu e foi você
Pois sem amor estamos sós / Morremos nós

She never danced before so let her on the floor (so let her on the floor)
Let the little girl dance, let the little girl dance
She wants to give it a try, so let the little girl by (so let the little girl by)
She's been a little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself
Now she got the nerve to take a chance, so let the little girl dance
Let the little girl through, she wants to pass by you
Buddy, can't you see she wants to dance with me (she wants to dance with me)
She's been a little wallflower on the shelf, standing by herself

From This Day On
From This Day On
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Fiona:
Dinna ye know, Tommy, that ye're all I'm livin' for?
So how can ye go, Tommy, when I'll need ye more an' more?
Tommy:
No, Fiona
You won't remember that way
And neither will I
You and the world we knew will glow, till my life is through
For you're part of me from this day on
And someday if I should love, it's you I'll be dreaming of
For you're all I'll see from this day on
These hurried hours were all the life we could share
Still, I will go with not a tear, just a prayer
That when we are far apart, you'll find something from your heart
Has gone! Gone with me from this day on
You see? We mustn't be sorry about anything
Fiona:
I'm not
In fact, I shouldna be surprised if I'll be less lonely now than I was afore ye came
I think real loneliness is no' bein' in love in vain
but no' bein' in love at all
Tommy:
But it'll fade in time
Fiona:
No
It winna do that
Through all the years to come, an' through all the tears to come
I know I'll be yours from this day on

Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins; Clayton Perkins; Mike Ness
Oh, let that jukebox keep on playin'
Let that record roll around
Let my baby keep on sayin'
She's a lonesome gal in town
Let her know that I'll be waitin'
When my lonely days are through
Let the jukebox keep on playin'
Till I'm holdin' you
Oh, let those honky-tonkin' angels be the girls I never loved
Let 'em know its you I'm cravin' it's you I'm dreamin' of
Let 'em know that I'll be waitin' when my lonely days are through
Let the jukebox keep on playin' till I'm holdin' you
Oh, let that jukebox keep on playin'
Let that record roll around
Let my baby keep on sayin'
She's a lonesome gal in town
Let her know that I'll be waitin'
When my lonely days are through
Let the jukebox keep on playin'
Till I'm holdin' you

Waitin' For My Dearie
Waitin' For My Dearie
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Fiona:
Many a lassie as ev'ryone knows'll
Try to be married before twenty-five
So she'll agree to most any proposal
All he mus' be is a man, an' alive
I hold a dream an' there's no compromisin'
I know there's one certain laddie for me
One day he'll come walkin' o'er the horizon
But should he not, then an old maid I'll be
Foolish, ye may say
Foolish I will stay
Waitin' for my dearie, an' happy am I
to hold my heart till he comes strollin' by
When he comes, my dearie, one look an' I'll know
That he's the dearie I've been wantin' so
Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by
For ye see, I believe
That there's a laddie weary, and wanderin' free
Who's waitin' for his dearie
Me!
1st Girl:
What do ye do while ye're waitin' around
For your lad to come your way?
Fiona:
Well, when no one is lookin', ye kneel on the ground
An' ye pray an' pray an' pray!
2nd Girl:
But when lassies sit an' have no men
Oh, how long becomes the night
Fiona:
But I fear the night is longer when the lad's no' right
Waitin' for my dearie is sweeter to me
Than wooin' any laddie on the lea
Girls:
Dreamin' of your dearie, an' idlin' the day
Fiona:
That's how I am an' how I'll ever stay
Though I'll live forty lives till the day he arrives
I'll not ever, ever grieve
For my hopes will be high that he'll come strollin' by
For ye see, I believe
Fiona And Girls:
That there's a laddie weary, an' wanderin' free
who's waitin' for his dearie
Fiona:
Me!

Covered by multiple other artists
Versions In Other Languages:
1968 - Se C'è L'amore (by Patty Pravo)
1968 - Du Var En Drøm (by Johnny Reimar)
I can hear the guitars start to play
And very soon they say
I was a fool to turn my love away
And with each glass of wine I feel a glow
And very soon I know
I was a fool to let my baby go
So let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
Tears won't help anymore
Yes let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
Now she's gone
I can't hold back the tears anymore
I can see the couples dancin' through the night
They hold each other tight
As they dance in love till the morning light
The soft embraces that they seem to share
Just make me feel aware
Of the lonliness I find so hard to bear
So let the heartaches begin
I can't help it, I can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
My tears won't help anymore
Yes let the heartaches, heartaches begin
I just can't help it,you know that I just can't win
I've lost that girl for sure
And now that she's gone
I can't hold back the tears anymore

Anche il tempo inesorabile
rallenta il battito
quando l'amore mi fa piangere
e il vento di una sera tiepida
diventa gelido
quando l'amore mi fa piangere
Perché se c'è l'amore
c'è una lacrima di più
io non so vivere senza te... non so
ma quando c'è l'amore
c'è una mano che ti può
accarezzare e poi stringere
forte forte il cuor... questo cuor
Non credo a quelli che si lasciano
e che non piangono
vuol dire che non si amavano
se senza te non era vivere
potrei morire se
sapessi che c'è un'altra accanto a te
Perché se c'è l'amore
c'è una lacrima di più
io non so vivere senza te... non so
ma quando c'è l'amore
c'è una mano che ti può
accarezzare e poi stringere
forte forte il cuor... questo cuor
