Oh, Happy Day
Oh, Happy Day
Composer(s): Gene de Paul - Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Stanley Simmonds, George Reeder, Ralph Linn, Lehman Engel
Oh happy day when miracles take place, and scientists control the human race
When we assume authority of human chromosomes
And assembly line women, conveyor belt men
Settle down in push button homes
Oh happy day when all the cells conform, and the exceptional becomes the norm
When from a test tube we produce gargantuas or gnomes
And assembly line babies, conveyor belt storks
Only come to push button homes
So much o’this, so much o’that, for the ears and eyes
So much o’that, so much o’this for the toes and thighs
Pour in a pot, stir up a lot, that’s the basic plan
What have we got, I’ll tell you what – we’ve got man made man!
Oh happy day when we can choose their looks, from formulae in scientific books
And add their personalities from psychiatric tomes
And assembly line husbands, conveyor belt wives
Settle down in push button homes
Oh happy day when all the world can see, a healthy, hearty, hale humanity
When even tired bus’ness men have hair up on their domes
Slender-ella type mothers; and muscle beach dads
Living in gymnasium homes
Oh happy day when in collective brains, no individuality remains
We’ll be a race of busy bees in happy honeycombs
With automaton couples, mechanical guests, getting gassed in self service homes
Chick after chick, chick after chick, rolling off the line
Chick after chick, chick after chick, in the same design
Nobody thin, nobody fat, every body stacked
We guarantee they’re gonna be firm and fully packed!
Oh happy day when boys and girls on dates, can tell electric’ly if they are mates
If he goes for her kilowatts and she enjoys his ohms
You can bet your magnetic, combustible shirt, they’ll wind up in high voltage homes

By The Way
By The Way
Composer(s): Cathy Majeski; Stephony Smith
Performer(s): Tanya Tucker
Just in case you didn't know
And I know baby it's not easy
for you to say I'm the one
But I can tell by the way you love
By the way you smile
By the way you say nothin'
I can see it all in your eyes
By the way I really need you
Everyday of my life
Don't worry baby if words escape you
I feel what you're feelin' and that's enough
I can tell by the way you love
By the way you smile
By the way you say nothin'
I can see it all in your eyes
By the way I know it's not easy
for you to say I'm the one
But I can tell by the way you love me
I can tell I'm the one by the way you love me

Like You Do
Like You Do
Composer(s): Gary Richrath
Performer(s): REO Speedwagon
Well I've seen women who cross their legs
Before they sit down to the table
And I've seen women who look to the sky
Screamin lord I believe in the bible
And I've seen hookers dancin through times square
With their heads held up so high
But I've never seen a woman
Who makes me feel
Woah, like you do
Well I've seen couples holdin hands
With that glazy look in their eyes
And I've seen lovers rollin round in bed
Screamin as if they're gonna die
And I've seen lovers holdin hands
And then laughin when their back is turned
But I've never seen a woman
Who makes me feel
Woah, like you do
Well I've seen women who cross their legs
Before they sit down to the table
And I've seen women who look to the sky
Screamin lord I believe in the bible
And I've seen hookers dancin through times square
With their heads held up so high
But I've never seen a woman
Who makes me feel
No I've never seen a woman
Who can make me feel
Like you do

Like Two Strangers
Like Two Strangers
((Spanish Version: Como Dos Extraños (by Pedro Aznar))
Composer(s): José María Contursí - Pedro Laurenz
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
I got frightened by loneliness
and the great fear of dying away from you
How I wanted to cry feeling the mockery of reality
next to me
And my heart begged me
to look for you and to get your love back
My heart asked for it and so I sought you
thinking you could be my salvation
And now that we're face to face
we look, you see, just like two strangers
I've finally learnt the lesson,
how time changes everything!
Anguish of knowing that dreams and faith
have already died
Forgive me if you see me shed a tear
memories have done me harm
The light of the sun grew pale
as I heard you speak so coldly
Our love was so different and it hurts to finally realize
that everything, everything is over
What a big mistake, to see you again
only to walk away with my heart torn to pieces
The dead hours of yesterday are like a thousand ghosts
as they return to laugh at me

Composer(s): Michael Bolton; Andy Goldmark; Diane Warren
Performer(s): Peabo Bryson
and various other artists
Silence takes over
Saying all we need to say
Theres endless possibilites
In the moves we can make
Your kiss is giving every indication
If this heart of mine is right
Chorus
By the time this night is over
The stars are gonna shine on two lovers in love
And when the morning comes
Its gonna find us together
In a love thats just begun
By the time this night is over
Two hearts are gonna fly to the heavens above
And well get closer and closer and closer
By the time this night is over
Lets take a slow and easy ride
Just lay back, and let love take us over
Theres magic here with you and I
And its gonna take us all the way
Lets find some kind of a deeper conversation
And darling if its right
Chorus
A night like this may never come again
And you wont want this lie to end
Oh baby we can have it all
By the time this night is...over
Chorus
Oh, gonna wrap my lovin' arms around you
Heaven's gonna smile, gonna smile on two lovers...

Como Dos Extraños
Como Dos Extraños
((English Version: Like Two Strangers (by Pedro Aznar))
Composer(s): José María Contursí - Pedro Laurenz
Performer(s): Pedro Aznar
and multiple other artists
Escuchar
mientras leo
Me acobardó la soledad
y el miedo enorme de morir lejos de ti...
¡Qué ganas tuve de llorar
sintiendo junto a mí
la burla de la realidad!
Y el corazón me suplicó
que te buscara y que le diera tu querer...
Me lo pedía el corazón
y entonces te busqué
creyéndote mi salvación...
Y ahora que estoy frente a ti
parecemos, ya ves, dos extraños...
Lección que por fin aprendí:
¡cómo cambian las cosas los años!
Angustia de saber muertas ya
la ilusión y la fe...
Perdón si me ves lagrimear...
¡Los recuerdos me han hecho mal!
Palideció la luz del sol
al escucharte fríamente conversar...
Fue tan distinto nuestro amor
y duele comprobar
que todo, todo terminó
¡Qué gran error volverte a ver
para llevarme destrozado el corazón!
Son mil fantasmas, al volver
burlándose de mí
las horas de ese muerto ayer ...

By The Time I Get To Phoenix
By The Time I Get To Phoenix
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Glen Campbell
and various other artists
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out loud
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Tho' time and time I tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I would really go

Like To Get To Know You
Like To Get To Know You
Composer(s): Stuart Scharf
First release by: Spanky & Our Gang - 1968
Yes, I would like to get to know you, if I could
Like to get to know you
Finally I found, searching all around
Just was not the answer
One I thought was true
Looked a bit like you
Figured I might chance her
Hardly need to say
She went on her way
Said it was all over
Well it's been some time
And I guess that I'm just meant to be a rover
Now I can't promise that I'll spend a day with you
Can't promise that I'll find a way with you
Can't promise no
I can't promise that I'll love you
But I'd like to get to know you
Yes I would if I could

By The Sleepy Lagoon
By The Sleepy Lagoon
Composer(s): Jack Lawrence; Eric Coates
Performer(s): Harry James
and various other artists
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon, and two on an island
A sleepy lagoon and two hearts in tune, in some far off island
The fireflies gleam reflects in the stream
They sparkle and shimmer
A star from on high falls out of the sky and slowly grows dimmer
The leaves from the trees all dance in the breeze and float on the ripples
We’re deep in a spell as nightingales tell of roses and dew
The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever
A tropical moon, a sleepy lagoon and you
The memory of this moment of love will haunt me forever
A sleepy lagoon, a tropical moon and you
A sleepy lagoon and you

Like Strangers
Like Strangers
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant
First release by: The Everly Brothers - 1960
Like strangers
That's what we are
Darling how can lovers pull apart so far?
Like strangers
How can it be?
Only days ago, we loved so tenderly
I love you, truly I do
And I hope deep in your heart you love me too
Let's forget that we've been angry
Let's be lovers like before
And try not to be like strangers, anymore
Let's forget that we've been angry
Let's be lovers like before
And swear not to be like strangers, anymore

By The Sapphire Sea
By The Sapphire Sea
Composer(s): Harry B. Smith; Francis Wheeler; Ted Snyder
Somewhere over there by the Sapphire Sea
the whispering palm trees are calling me
to skies ever blue
there alone with you
is where I am longing to be
The world we'll forget and your lips and eyes
will show me the way to love's paradise
to that land of summertime far away
I'm going to take you someday
On that sunny island, the roses rare
are blooming to give us a welcome there
and we'll be alone, in a world our own
forgetting all trouble and care
We'll watch by the sea while the sails go by
till the stars shine above in the evening sky
you'll rest in my arms while the moon beams bright
and dream through the midsummer night
Merrily we'll sail upon the Sapphire Sea
to a little isle where happy we will be where moon beams bright
kiss you each night beside the silver waves we'll be together
While the stars are shining through the waving palms
sweetheart, I will hold you in my loving arms and life will seem
just like a dream, with you beside the Sapphire Sea

Like Someone In Love
Like Someone In Love
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen - Johnny Burke
First performance: Dinah Shore - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists
This change I feel puzzles me
It's strange, a real mystery
Maybe you see it
If you do see it
What on earth can it be?
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love

By The River Of The Roses
By The River Of The Roses
Composer(s): Joe Burke; Marty Symes
Performer(s): George Morgan
and various other artists
I met her by the river of the roses
The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo
I left her by the river of the roses
With tear-dimmed eyes she whispered I'll miss you so
All the roses have faded since we've been apart
But the one rose she gave me will always bloom within my heart
And someday by the river of the roses
I don't know when but we'll meet again I know
She's waiting by the river of the roses
The sweetest girl beside of the Alamo
All the roses have faded...

Like Sister And Brother
Like Sister And Brother
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): The Drifters
It's such a small town girl, news travels faster than a sigh
Everybody wants to know about the next man's secret
So everytime we meet upon the street, we've got to keep it....
Like sister and brother we'll wave to each other
We don't want all the world to know, we are really lovers
So we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together
And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I
You and me baby, you and me baby
Sometimes it's hard to hide pent up emotions we both feel
I want to tell the world I love you, but I dare not say it..
Until I let you go there's only one way we can play it...
Like sister and brother, we'll wave to each other
We don't want all the world to know, we are really lovers
So we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together
And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I
Like sister and brother
We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know
We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know
We are really lovers so we'll talk about the weather 'til we're alone together
And all the world will fade and die, and baby there is only you and I
Like sister and brother
We'll wave to each other, we don't want all the world to know ...

Place park, scene dark, silvery moon is shining through the trees

Like Roses
Like Roses
((French Version: Comme Des Roses (by Charles Aznavour))
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Dreams, see them grow like roses
So warm, so bright, they paint the night like roses
My heart was numb and cold and you turned it to fire
Every joy you inspire makes our garden of love grow so much higher
Dreams, like a flame inside us
How they light up our eyes and they gide us
And suddenly today you’ve grown into a woman
So young, gay with magic songs to sing
And your childhood is mine
You broght another spring to me
Now nothing more can shake me
No wind, no rain, no storm could ever break me
I’m flowing in your arms, the gentle waves caress me
Posseses me, softly bless me
Dreams, thanks to you they’ve found us
The sky was never quite so clear around us
I want to lay may life before you
Each moment of my life so gently at your feet
Scattered like roses, like summer roses
