Brown Eyed Girl
Brown Eyed Girl
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Originally performed by: Van Morrison
Covered by various other artists
Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came?
Down in the hollow
Playing a new game
Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping
And you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
La dee dah
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown!
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Laying in the green grass
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la

Let's Walk That-A-Way
Let’s Walk That-A-Way
Composer(s): Twomey
Performer(s): Doris Day & Johnnie Ray
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(JR)
Notice that we’re coming to the crossroads
Should we turn to left or right?
(DD) Mother is a-rockin’ and a-waitin’
But it’s such a lovely night
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(JR)
Well, don’t you think the valley road is shorter?
We could save about a mile
(DD)
And now and then the short road can be longer
If you linger for a while
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(JR)
Can’t you see the night is just beginning
And the moonlight weaves a spell
(DD) We can take the road among the daisies
You know daisies never tell
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(JR)
I got an awful lot of tender words to whisper
Little ol’ words like “I love you”
(DD) Everything you say is so convincing
Yes, that’s what we ought to do
(DD & JR)
Let’s walk a-that-a-way not a-this-a-way
That-a-way we can be alone
Take they’re throwing our chance to kiss away
This-a-way only leads to home
(DD & JR)
Leads to home
That-a-way only leads to home

Let's Wait A Little Longer
Let’s Wait A Little Longer
Composer(s): Curly Putman - Billy Sherrill
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb & Loretta Lynn
and multiple other artists
I can see you're not happy the way you've been acting
And I think you'd like to be free
I know he's a good man but I know that you can be a whole lot happier with me
In your eyes there's a yearning and inside you're a burnin'
And I'd like to put out the flame
So let's get together like birds of a feather and we let the love take the blame
But right now I don't think that I can leave him
For lately he's been so good to me
And there might be once more chance that things might work out
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see
But wait I can make you forget him cause I'll take you
To places that you've never been
We'll make all the night spots the dim and the bright spots
And then we'll forget where we've been
We'll walk sunny beaches and taste Georgia peaches
and swing from Maine to Mexico
If you'll come along we can make life a song
and you won't be tied down anymore
But still I don't think that I can leave him
For lately he's been so good to me
And there might be once more chance that things might work out
So let's wait a little longer then we'll see
Yes let's wait a little longer then we'll see

Fratelli Di Guerra
Fratelli Di Guerra
English Title: Brothers In Arms
Performer(s): Ricky Gianco
Questa nebbia montana
la mia casa sarà
quella vera è lontana
e non mi vedrà
se faremo ritorno
in salvo alle pianure
non avremo più voglia
di altre avventure
Battezzato col fuoco
nessuna pietà
ho sofferto ho vissuto
la mia fragilità
e se mi hanno ridotto così
le paure, gli allarmi
voi fratelli di guerra
saprete aiutarmi
Il nemico è uguale a noi
nemmeno lui lo sa
perché squarciamo in due
una sola umanità
Sotto un sole d'inferno
e una luna di ghiaccio
non dirò mai addio
perché non ce la faccio
ma lo leggo nel cielo lassù
non è questa la via
ammazzare i fratelli
è un'assurda follia

Brothers In Arms
Brothers In Arms
Italian Title: Fratelli Di Guerra
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Originally performed by: Dire Straits
These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm
Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Let's Turn Out The Lights
Let's Turn Out The Lights
((French & Spanish Versions: Éteins La Lumière (Charles Aznavour); Apaga La Luz (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Joel Hirschhorn - Al Kasha
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Turn out the lights, we don't have to see
Let the darkness watch, over you and me
We don't need a light, just the flame within
It burns for us now, right beneath the skin
Turn out the lights, the darkness is our friend
It helps when we dream, and when we pretend
My finger will trace, every wwinding curve
Follow every line, every pulsing nerve
No one's in the street, no one walks the hall
We can watch our shadows moving on the wall
In tender silence, with the curtains drawn
We can keep on making love until the dawn
Turn out the lights
(Turn out the lights)
Talk without sound
Won't you stay all night
(All night)
Spin the world around
(Spin the world around)
My river is dry, fill it with your touch
Let's turn out the light, I want you so much
(Let's turn out the lights)
No one's in the street, no one walks the hall
We can watch our shadows moving on the wall
In tender silence, with the curtains drawn
We can keep on making love until the dawn
Turn out the lights
(Turn out the lights)
Oh, talk without sound
Won't you stay all night
(Stay all night)
Spin the world around
(Spin the world around)
My river is dry, fill it with your touch
Let's turn out the lights, I want you so much
Ah, oh, aah, mmm, oooh, ah, ah, ah ah ah, oh, oh, mmm, oh, oh

Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?
Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?
Composer(s): Edgar "Yip" Harburg; Jay Gorney
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When their was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always their right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Apaga la luz
jazmín y clavel
mis brazos en cruz
sueñan con tu piel
detén el reloj
ven cerca de mí
solos tú y yo
es mejor así
Apaga la luz
y en la oscuridad
de tu juventud
dáme la verdad
yo sé que París
duerme sin temor
mientras vis a vis
arde nuestro amor
tu mirar de raza
me iluminará
y un herén la casa
nos parecerá
y con ciego anhelo
yo te buscaré
y en tu negro pelo
me reclinaré
Apaga la luz
yo te haré saber
en esta quietud
todo mi querer
y con frenesí
loco de emoción
voy hacer de ti
mi mejor canción
Apaga la luz
es mas prudencial
que la noche azul
fuera del cristal
se llegue a morir
de curiosidad
por no descubrir
nuestra soledad
Apaga la luz
sin vacilación
y sin inquietud
a mi corazón
yo me he de sentir
lleno de ansiedad
tu sangre latir
de felicidad
si de madrugada
tiemblas de pavor
yo me ire al lado
te daré valor
y la sed ardiente
de mi gran amor
calmaré la fuente
de tu boca en flor
Apaga la luz
jazmín y clavel
mis brazos en cruz
sueñan con tu piel
apaga la luz
sal de juventud
Apaga la luz
solos yo y tú
apaga la luz
solos yo y tú
apaga la luz
solos yo y tú
apaga la luz
