In Search Of Peter Pan
In Search Of Peter Pan
Composer(s): Kate Bush
Performer(s): Kate Bush
It's been such a long week
So much crying
I no longer see a future
I've been told when I get older
That I'll understand
It all
But I'm not sure if I want to
Running into her arms
At the school gates
She whispers that I'm a poor kid
And Granny takes me on her knee
She tells me I'm too sensitive
She makes me sad
She makes me feel like an old man
She makes me feel like an old man
They took the game right out of it
They took the game right out of it
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Dennis loves to look
In the mirror
He tells me that he is beautiful
So I look too, and what do I see?
My eyes are full
But my face is empty
He's got a photo
Of his hero
He keeps it under his pillow
But I've got a pin-up
From a newspaper
Of Peter Pan
I found it in a locket
I hide it in my pocket
They took the game right out of it
They took the game right out of it
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut
And find Peter Pan
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
Second star on the right
Straight on 'til morning
"When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true"

Long Ago Tomorrow
Long Ago Tomorrow
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach - Hal David
Performer(s): Burt Bacharach; B.J. Thomas
Maybe I'll be the things I dream
And not the things I seem
Maybe I'll get to change the world
Before it changes me
And maybe my life
Will always be
Just as happy as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams
Maybe I'll learn to face the truth
And like the truth I face
Maybe I'll get to find myself
Before I'm lost in space
And maybe a love
Will always be
Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams
And maybe a love
Will always be
Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams

In Search Of Love
In Search Of Love
Composer(s): Barry Manilow; Howie Rice; Allan Rich
Performer(s): Barry Manilow
There is somebody
In this world somebody
She was put on earth for me
Where can her love be?
See, I'm no exception
I need real affection
What's life worth living for
If not to give it all . . . so
I'm reaching out
I'm in search of love
You're everything that I'm dreaming of
I can't give up, no!
I'm reaching out
I'm in search of love
Been on my own for long enough
Well, I'm going crazy
Only you can save me
>From the tears and loneliness
Girl, I must confess
That day or night time
There is no right time
For a heart to be alone
I just can't go on . . . so
I'm reaching out
I'm in search of love
You're everything that I'm dreaming of
I can't give up, no!
I'm reaching out
I'm in search of love
Been on my own for long enough
Don't make me beg
Don't make me plead
Just go ahead and give me what I need
Set me free
Answer me
Can't you hear me calling out to you

Long Ago Last Night
Long Ago Last Night
Composer(s): Harry Warren - Mack Gordon
Performer(s): Alice Faye
and multiple other artists
We were alone, do you remember?
Stars in the sky were shining bright
You held me in your arms and said “I love you so”
Remember, long ago last night
Then in the moment of surrender
Deep in your eyes I saw the light
We made a promise you and I alone will know
That moment long ago last night
(Repeat)

In San Domingo
In San Domingo
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis; Joe Young; Ted Snyder
"Chickee Choo," that was all she said to me
"Chickee Choo," on an island in the sea
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
But "Chickee Choo," seemed to cheer me instantly
Out of a million or more
Who come to visit the shore
It really seemed like fate, that she should wait for me
Out on that tropical isle, I had to linger awhile
She won me with her smile
It had to be
"Chickee Choo," every time she whispered this
"Chickee Choo," I would steal a little kiss
All the while, I just had to wear a smile
For "Chickee Choo," seemed to fill my heart with bliss
It wasn't just what she said
That seemed to go to my head
She was a little bear, and here and there was less
Although she wiggled around
She never covered much ground
When she said, "Chickee Choo," I answered "yes"
In San Domingo 'neath starry skies
I couldn't understand her "lingo"
But I could read this in her eyes (Chickee Choo, I love you)
One day by "jingo"! I held her hand
And I could feel my heart go "bingo"
Down in San Domingo Land

Long ago, and oh so far away
I fell in love with you
Before the second show
Your guitar it sounds so sweet and clear

You loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back
This way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh baby, I love you
I really do
Don't you remember you told me
You loved me baby
You said you'd be coming back
This way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh baby, I love you
I really do
Loneliness is such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait
To be with you again
What you say to make you come again
Come back to me again
And play your sad guitar
Don't you remember you told me
You love me baby
You said you'd be coming back
This way again baby
Baby baby baby baby
Oh baby I love you

In Roxy's Eyes
In Roxy's Eyes
Composer(s): Timothy B. Schmit
Performer(s): Timothy B. Schmit
Don't know if I'm wrong or right
There's just so much I've got to do
Don't want to put up a fight oh
The minutes are far too few
I guess I'll go my way, take it in stride
Day by day
But I can't keep it inside
And I just can't disguise
The mystery I feel
In Roxy's eyes, oh
I remember the night we met
She gave me just one look
And I never will forget oh
I felt like an open book
And every night I find I don't sleep
I lose my mind
Can't get her out of my head
It should come as no suprise
It's so hard to see
In Roxy's eyes oh
Way down inside my heart all I do is try
I should have known it from the start
That I would cry
It's all in Roxy's eyes
A love that feels so strong you don't deny it
It can't be wrong
Still there's so much regret
'Cuz I've come to realize
It's so hard to stay
In Roxy's eyes oh
In Roxy's eyes oh
I just can't read those eyes oh
It's all in Roxy's eyes oh
In Roxy's eyes oh

Performer(s): Martha Mears & Gene Kelly - 1944
Covered by multiple other artists
Long Ago and Faraway
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I dreamed of long ago was you
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I dreamed of long ago was you

Performer(s): Ann Christy - 1976
Covered by: Free Souffriau - 2009
'k Lees op jouw droef gelaat
Dat het tijd wordt dat je mij weer verlaat
Wowoh ga, ik red me wel alleen
Al wat het vraagt is tijd
Ga nu maar gauw, 't is beter voor ons bei
In een flits zie ik mijn hoop in rook vergaan
Al wat jij me hebt beloofd in rook vergaan
Ook al blijf ik van je houden, ik wil je niet weerhouden
Leven kan je ook alleen
In een ruk zie ik mijn droom in rook vergaan
En een leven met z'n twee in rook vergaan
Zoek niet langer meer naar woorden, die kunnen mij niet troosten
Nu ik jou in rook zie vergaan
Nu je van me weggaat
Ik ken je veel te goed
Dacht je dat een vrouw zoiets niet voelt
Zolang heb ik hiervoor gevreesd
Machteloos zag ik toe
Machteloos en verslagen zag ik toe
In een flits zie ik mijn hoop in rook vergaan
Al wat jij me hebt beloofd in rook vergaan
Ook al blijf ik van je houden, ik wil je niet weerhouden
Leven kan je ook alleen
In een ruk zie ik mijn droom in rook vergaan
En een leven met z'n twee in rook vergaan
Zoek niet langer meer naar woorden, die kunnen mij niet troosten
Nu ik jou in rook zie vergaan
Zoek niet langer meer naar woorden, die kunnen mij niet troosten
Nu ik jou in rook zie vergaan
Nu je van me weggaat

Love Is Strange
Love Is Strange
Composer(s): Bo Diddley - Mickey Baker - Sylvia Robinson
First release by: Mickey & Sylvia - 1956
Covered by multiple other artists
Love
Love is strange
Lot of people
Take it for a game
Once you get it
You never wanna quit
After you've had it
You're in an awful fix
Many people
Don't understand
They think loving
Is money in the hand
Your sweet loving
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses I miss
Sylvia
Yes, Mickey
How do you call your lover boy
Come here, lover boy
And if he doesn't answer
Oh lover boy
And if he still doesn't answer
I simply say
Baby, oh baby
My sweet baby, you're the one
Baby, oh baby
My sweet baby, you're the one

'Long About Midnight
'Long About Midnight
Composer(s): Alexander Hill - Irving Mills
Performer(s): Cab Calloway
and multiple other artists
Just take a look at Harlem after sundown
Any time you choose
It's hard to find the people feeling run-down
There's no time for blues
If you don't know just what to really do
Just take a walk along the avenue
You'll hear the sounds come a-floatin' through
Along about midnight
They close the windows and they dim the light
To hide their doings from a stranger's sight
Everything is going right
'Long about midnight
Pianos tinkle, and the couples sway
Taking the pleasures they find
They don't care how they live by day
Why not leave trouble behind?
They're not pretending like the hoy-falloy
They really mean it; it's the real McCoy
They turn an ounce of booze into a pound of joy
'Long about midnight!

First release by: ABBA - 1976
Covered by multiple other artists
I've seen it on your face
Tells me more than any worn-out old phrase
So now we'll go separate ways
Never again we two
Never again, nothing I can do
Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
(See it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely
(Answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
But I know I don't possess you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only
I've watched you look away
Tell me is it really so hard to say?
Oh, this has been my longest day
Sitting here close to you
Knowing that maybe tonight we're through
Like an image passing by, my love, my life
In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
I can see it all so clearly
(See it all so clearly)
Answer me sincerely
(Answer me sincerely)
Was it a dream, a lie?
Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
But I know I don't possess you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Yes I know I don't possess you
So go away, God bless you
You are still my love and my life
Still my one and only

In Qualche Parte Del Mondo
In Qualche Parte Del Mondo
Composer(s): Antonello Venditti
Performer(s): Antonello Venditti
Amore è come un grande salto
È come una tempesta di vento
amore è un grande temporale
che non è vero che non fa male
amore tu sei qui con me
tu sei qui accanto a me
in ogni istante del giorno
amore sei vicino a me
sei vicino a me
nel dolore e nel pianto
Se tu mi fossi ancora accanto
questa vita non sarebbe di cemento
e se sfiorassi la mia pelle
potrei fermarmi e guardare le stelle
ma adesso tu non sei qui con me
tu non sei accanto a me
E tutto il resto non conta
adesso tu non sei qui con me
tu non sei accanto a me
nel dolore e nel pianto
Non dirmi che è un sogno proibito averti qui
che il tempo cancella i nostri ricordi
non mi lasciare mai
ti prego non mi lasciare mai
ma chiss… dove sarai
in quale parte del mondo
in qualche parte del mondo
in qualche parte del mondo
Ma non guardarmi con quegli occhi belli
quello che conta sono i tuoi capelli
e non guardarmi con quegli occhi chiari
che nella notte no non sono uguali
ma amore tu non sei qui con me
tu non sei accanto a me
e mi sento morire
ma amore tu non sei qui con me
tu non sei accanto a me
nel dolore e nel pianto
Non dirmi che è un sogno proibito averti qui
che il tempo cancella i nostri ricordi
non mi lasciare mai
ti prego non mi lasciare mai
ma chiss… dove sarai
in quale parte del mondo
in qualche parte del mondo
in qualche parte del mondo...

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it
Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in
Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in
Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

First release by: Dusty Springfield - 1990
Covered by multiple other artists
Take your time and tell me
Where you lie
I realise
That we've been found out this time
We should stay together
If we can
But what you've planned
Means there's a difference between
What you're gonna say
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
So discreet
I never tried to meet
Your friends or interfere
I took a back seat between
And what you gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
What you gonna say, ay
When you run back to your wife?
I guess it's just the story of my life
What you gonna say?
So take your time
And tell me
Where did you learn
Oh, I may publicise
That there's a difference between
What you're gonna say
In private?
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember
Tell me what you gonna say
In private?, ooh, ooh, ooh
What you gonna say?
What you gonna do?
Baby, what you gonna say?
